YAVNE, Israel, Nov. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MediWound Ltd. (Nasdaq: MDWD), a global leader in next-generation enzymatic therapeutics for tissue repair, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025, and provided a corporate update.

“We continued to execute our growth strategy this quarter, advancing both our operational capabilities and our late-stage clinical programs,” said Ofer Gonen, Chief Executive Officer of MediWound.“Completion of commissioning for our expanded NexoBrid manufacturing facility marks a significant milestone that positions us to meet rising global demand. Enrollment in the VALUE Phase III trial of EscharEx is progressing under a robust study design aligned with endpoints where EscharEx demonstrated strong results in Phase II. With a strengthened balance sheet following our recent $30 million equity financing, we remain focused on driving revenue growth, advancing our late-stage pipeline, and delivering long-term value.”

Third Quarter 2025 Highlights, Recent Developments, and Upcoming Milestones

EscharEx ^®

• Enrollment continues to advance in VALUE, a global Phase III study of EscharEx in venous leg ulcers (VLUs), targeting 216 patients across approximately 40 sites in the U.S. and Europe, the majority of which are already active. The co-primary endpoints are the incidence of complete debridement and the facilitation of wound closure. A pre-specified interim sample-size assessment is planned after 65% of patients complete treatment.
• Following constructive FDA feedback aligning on trial design and development strategy, the Company expects to initiate its clinical trial in diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) in the second half of 2026.
• An updated market access and pricing assessment conducted by an independent global consulting firm estimated a peak sales opportunity of approximately $831 million for EscharEx. The estimate reflects updated clinical data and modeled health-economic considerations.

NexoBrid ^®

• U.S. adoption continues to expand, with Vericel reporting NexoBrid's highest quarterly revenue since launch, up 38% year-over-year and 26% sequentially. Vericel reported broad utilization across more than 60 burn centers and plans to pursue a permanent CPT code, which would become effective in 2027.
• Commissioning of the expanded NexoBrid manufacturing facility has been completed. The facility is expected to reach full operational readiness by year-end 2025, increasing production capacity sixfold to support growing global demand. Market availability remains subject to the completion of regulatory reviews.
• The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) approved NexoBrid for use in Australia for both adult and pediatric burn patients, expanding approved markets to 45 countries worldwide.

Corporate Development

• Raised $30 million in equity financing from healthcare-focused investors, providing capital to advance the Company's development programs and commercialization initiatives.

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

• Revenue for the third quarter of 2025 was $5.4 million, compared to $4.4 million for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher development service revenue, reflecting additional contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD).
• Gross profit was $0.9 million, or 16.5% of total revenue, compared to $0.7 million, or 15.5% of total revenue, in the prior-year period.
• Research and development expenses were $3.5 million, compared to $2.5 million in the same period of 2024, driven by increased investment in the EscharEx VALUE Phase III trial and related clinical activities.
• Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4.0 million, compared to $3.2 million in the same period of 2024, primarily due to increased marketing authorization holder expenses.
• Operating loss was $6.5 million, compared to $5.1 million for the same period in 2024.
• Net loss was $2.7 million, or $0.24 per share, compared to a net loss of $10.3 million, or $0.98 per share, in the third quarter of 2024. The reduction in net loss was primarily driven by non-cash financial income from the revaluation of warrants in the third quarter of 2025, compared to non-cash financial expenses from the revaluation of warrants in the same quarter last year.
• Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss was $5.4 million, compared to a loss of $3.7 million in the prior-year quarter.

Year-to-Date 2025 Financial Highlights

• Revenue for the first nine months of 2025 was $15.1 million, compared to $14.4 million in the same period of 2024.
• Gross profit was $3.0 million, or 19.7% of total revenue, compared to $1.7 million, or 12.0% of total revenue, in the first nine months of 2024. The margin improvement primarily reflects a more favorable revenue mix.
• Research and development expenses were $9.8 million, compared to $5.9 million for the same period in 2024.
• Selling, general and administrative expenses were $10.6 million, compared to $9.1 million in the first nine months of 2024.
• Operating loss was $17.5 million, compared to $13.3 million for the same period in 2024.
• Net loss was $16.7 million, or $1.53 per share, compared to $26.3 million, or $2.72 per share, in the first nine months of 2024. The reduction in net loss was primarily driven by non-cash financial income from the revaluation of warrants in 2025, compared to non-cash financial expenses from the revaluation of warrants in the same period of 2024.
• Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss was $13.9 million, compared to a loss of $9.9 million in the same period of 2024.

Balance Sheet Highlights

As of September 30, 2025, MediWound had $60 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term deposits, compared to $44 million as of December 31, 2024.

During the first nine months of 2025, the Company used $15.8 million in cash to fund operating activities.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

To supplement consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS, the Company has provided a supplementary non-IFRS measure to consider in evaluating the Company's performance. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, which it defines as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, impairment, one-time expenses, restructuring and share-based compensation expenses.

Although Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with IFRS, we believe the non-IFRS financial measures we present provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating results primarily because they exclude certain non-cash charges or items that we do not believe are reflective of our ongoing operating results when budgeting, planning and forecasting and determining compensation, and when assessing the performance of our business with our senior management. However, investors should not consider these measures in isolation or as substitutes for operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure for determining the Company's operating performance or liquidity that is calculated in accordance with IFRS. In addition, because Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated in accordance with IFRS, it may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. The non-IFRS measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the IFRS results in the tables below.
