BE-Smart ^TM Esophageal Pre-Cancer Diagnostic Test Continues Towards Commercialization

In August 2025, the United States Patent and Trademark Office granted a key U.S. patent on the Company's BE-Smart^TM Esophageal Adenocarcinoma Risk Assessment test. ProPhase Labs owns the full intellectual property portfolio behind BE-Smart^TM.

Nebula Genomics Operations Streamlined

Jason Karkus, President of Nebula Genomics stated:“Over the past year, we have successfully transformed Nebula Genomics into a leaner, stronger, and more scalable business. By streamlining operations, exiting our in-house lab, right-sizing our team, optimizing technology expenses, and focusing on high-ROI marketing, we have moved from consistent historical losses, including prior to our acquisition, to a break-even position today, with a clear path to sustained profitability as subscription renewals and cost efficiencies continue. With a stronger cost structure, enhanced sequencing partnerships, and improved customer economics, Nebula is well positioned for the next phase of growth, whether through a strategic sale that delivers immediate value or continued expansion over the next 9 to 12 months to significantly increase enterprise value.”

$50 Million Opportunity with Crown Medical Collections progresses

Crown Medical Collections estimates the recovery of approximately $50 million in insurance payments, net of contingency fees, on behalf of ProPhase. After significant due diligence and preparation, this initiative has moved to important next steps. Due to the nature of litigation, the Company has been advised to be cautious in providing additional details at the current time. In conjunction, management is actively pursuing non-dilutive funding strategies, including Debtor-In-Possession (DIP), or similar financings.

The Company believes that Crown Medical's efforts should start to generate significant cash flow within the next few months and in some cases, possibly sooner. If Crown's efforts succeed, this could serve as a significant, non-dilutive financial influx in the second half of 2025 to support strategic development of ProPhase's core businesses. Notably, the Company currently carries only $20 million dollars total accounts receivable, net, in its financials for this initiative (less than half of what Crown estimates the Company will net.)

New Crypto Treasury Strategy Designed to Capture Upside Without Sacrificing Shareholder Value

The Board has approved a strategic treasury initiative involving the acquisition and long-term holding of select digital assets, including Bitcoin. This initiative is designed as an additional growth lever, complementing, not replacing, our core diagnostics and consumer health businesses. The Company is not pursuing a reverse merger but is seeking to partner with leading players in the crypto space while continuing to advance its core businesses, each with significant underlying value.

In Conjunction with the Company's Potential Crypto Treasury Strategy, Board Exploring Implementing Guardrails for Share Issuance

The Board is committed to protecting shareholder interests and is evaluating guardrails to avoid unnecessary dilution. The proposed increase in authorized shares to one billion is solely to ensure the flexibility to act quickly if the stock price rises significantly, enabling potential raises of hundreds of millions of dollars at premium valuations with minimal dilution. This disciplined approach mirrors our January 2021 raise of $37.5M at $12.50 per share, well above the $2 per share price months earlier.

Our objective is to generate substantial capital with minimal impact on existing shareholders, while leveraging other potential liquidity events, including the Crown Medical Collections initiative and a possible sale of Nebula Genomics, to fund the crypto treasury strategy without issuing new shares.

The Company will provide additional details regarding this important initiative next week.

CEO Commentary:
Ted Karkus, Chairman and CEO of ProPhase Labs, stated:

“The first half of 2025 was transformational for ProPhase. We divested non-core operations, reduced liabilities by more than ten million dollars, and recorded a significant gain, all while continuing to streamline our cost structure. These steps dramatically improved our balance sheet and sharpened our focus on our highest-potential opportunities in diagnostics and consumer health.

Operationally, we turned gross margins positive and cut our operating loss nearly in half year-over-year. The FDA's recent non-enforcement stance on LDTs positions our BE-SmartTM test for a faster path to market, and we are executing our plan to bring this important innovation to patients sooner. Our team is committed to disciplined execution and advancing the commercial potential of our core pipeline while aggressively exploring the new crypto treasury initiative.”

Financial Results

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, net revenue was $1.2 million as compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The Company did not generate any revenues from diagnostic services for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were $0.5 million, comprised of $0.1 million for diagnostic services and $0.4 million for consumer products. Cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $1.7 million, comprised of $0.7 million for diagnostic services and $1.0 million for consumer products.

We realized a gross margin profit of $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to a gross margin loss of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase of $0.9 million was a result of increased consumer products with better margin product mix. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we realized an overall gross margin of 58.9% and (10.3)%, respectively. Gross margin for diagnostic services was zero or not applicable due to no revenue in the 2025 and 2024 comparable periods, respectively. Gross margin for consumer products was 67.8% and 36.8% in the 2025 and 2024 comparable periods, respectively. Gross margin for consumer products have historically been influenced by fluctuations in quarter-to-quarter production volume, fixed production costs and related overhead absorption, raw ingredient costs, inventory mark to market write-downs and timing of shipments to customers.

General and administration expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were $4.6 million as compared to $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in general and administration expenses of $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 was principally related to a decrease in personnel expenses, overhead costs and professional fees and removal of costs related to the divestiture of PMI.

Research and development costs for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were $4,000 as compared to $140,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in research and development costs of $136,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 was principally due to decreased activities related to product research and field testing as a result of refined focus and efforts.

As a result of the effects described above, net loss from the continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $4.5 million, or $(0.11) per share, as compared $5.5 million, or $(0.29) per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Diluted loss per share related to the continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were $(0.11) per share and $(0.29) per share, respectively.

Our aggregate cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2025 were $169,000 as compared to $678,000 at December 31, 2024. Our working capital deficit was $1.1 million and $1.5 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The decrease of approximately $0.5 million in our cash and cash equivalents for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was principally due to $4.2 million cash used in operating activities and repayment of notes payable for $2.5 million, offset by proceeds from issuance of common stock and notes payable of $4.7 million. We also received $800,000 from sale of PMI. Total stockholders' equity increased to $11.4 million as of March 31, 2025 as compared to $7.4 million at December 31, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliation

In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding our results of operations as determined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures. The primary non-GAAP financial measures we disclose are EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

We define "EBITDA" as net income (loss) before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA further adjusts EBITDA by excluding acquisition costs, other non-cash items, and other unusual or non-recurring charges (as described in the table below).

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting, differ from GAAP measures with the same names and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar names that are used by other companies. We compute non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter and year to year. We may consider whether other significant items that arise in the future should be excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures.

We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA internally to evaluate and manage the Company's operations because we believe they provide useful supplemental information regarding the Company's ongoing economic performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating results primarily because they exclude amounts that are not considered part of ongoing operating results when planning and forecasting and when assessing the performance of the organization. In addition, we believe that non-GAAP financial information is used by analysts and others in the investment community to analyze our historical results and in providing estimates of future performance and that failure to report these non-GAAP measures could result in confusion among analysts and others and create a misplaced perception that our results have underperformed or exceeded expectations.

The following table sets forth the reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA excluding other costs to the most comparable GAAP financial measures (in thousands):

⁽¹⁾ We believe that net loss from continuing operations is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP that is most directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA measure the Company's operating performance without regard to certain expenses. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not presentations made in accordance with GAAP and the Company's computation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may vary from others in the industry. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have important limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP.

⁽²⁾ The non-cash portion of rent, which reflects the extent to which our GAAP rent expense recognized exceeds (or is less than) our cash rent payments. For newer leases, our rent expense recognized typically exceeds our cash rent payments, while for more mature leases, rent expense recognized is typically less than our cash rent payments.
