Conference Call Today, March 5, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time

YAVNE, Israel, March 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MediWound Ltd. (NASDAQ:MDWD), a global leader in next-generation enzymatic therapeutics for tissue repair, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.

"We entered 2026 with two strategic growth drivers," said Ofer Gonen, Chief Executive Officer of MediWound. "Our Phase III VALUE trial of EscharEx continues to progress as planned, with key clinical milestones, including interim assessment and enrollment completion, anticipated by year-end. In parallel, our expanded NexoBrid manufacturing facility is now operational, positioning us to support global demand following regulatory approvals. With these value-creating catalysts, a strong balance sheet, and an experienced team, MediWound is now well-positioned to advance into a new phase of scale and commercial readiness."

Fourth Quarter 2025 Highlights, Recent Developments, and Upcoming Milestones

EscharEx^®

Enrollment continues in the global Phase III VALUE study in venous leg ulcers (VLUs), targeting 216 patients across approximately 40 sites in the U.S. and Europe, the majority of which are active and enrolling patients. The pre-specified interim sample size assessment and enrollment completion are expected by year-end 2026.
The EscharEx clinical program is expanding into two additional indications. A Phase II study in diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and an investigator-initiated trial (IIT) in pressure ulcers (PUs) are planned for the second half of 2026.
B. Braun joined the EscharEx clinical development program through a research collaboration agreement, alongside existing collaborations with Coloplast/Kerecis, Convatec, Essity, Mölnlycke, Solventum, and MIMEDX.

NexoBrid^®

U.S. adoption continues to expand, with Vericel reporting broad utilization across more than 70 burn centers, representing the majority of its approximately 90 target accounts.
The expanded NexoBrid manufacturing facility is now operational, increasing production capacity sixfold to support anticipated global demand. Commercial supply from the facility remains subject to regulatory approvals expected in 2026.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

Revenue for the fourth quarter was $1.9 million, compared to $5.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower development services revenue, mainly attributable to the U.S. government shutdown, which delayed budget approvals and the initiation of new contractual agreements.
Gross profit was $0.3 million, representing a gross margin of 14.9%, compared to $0.9 million and a gross margin of 15.5% in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Research and development expenses were $4.5 million, compared to $3.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to costs associated with the EscharEx VALUE Phase III trial.
Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $3.6 million, compared to $4.0 million in the prior-year quarter, mainly reflecting a decrease in marketing and share-based compensation expenses.
Operating loss was $7.8 million, compared to $6.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Net loss was $7.2 million, or $0.56 per share, compared to a net loss of $3.9 million, or $0.36 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to lower non-cash financial income from the revaluation of warrants.
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss was $6.5 million, compared to a loss of $4.9 million in the same period last year.

Full Year 2025 Financial Highlights

Revenue for 2025 totaled $17.0 million, compared to $20.2 million in 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to the U.S. government shutdown, which delayed budget approvals and the initiation of new contractual agreements, as well as lower product sales to Vericel.
Gross profit for the year was $3.3 million, representing a gross margin of 19.2%, compared to $2.6 million and a gross margin of 13.0% in 2024. The increase primarily reflects a favorable change in revenue mix.
Research and development expenses increased to $14.3 million from $8.9 million in 2024, primarily due to costs associated with the EscharEx VALUE Phase III trial.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $14.2 million, compared to $13.1 million in 2024, mainly reflecting higher Marketing Authorization Holder (MAH) expenses.
Operating loss was $25.3 million, compared to $19.4 million in 2024.
Net loss for 2025 was $23.9 million, or $2.10 per share, compared to $30.2 million, or $3.03 per share, in 2024. The reduction in net loss was primarily driven by $2.2 million of non-cash financial income from the revaluation of warrants in 2025, compared to $10.7 million of non-cash financial expense from the revaluation of warrants in 2024.
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss was $20.3 million, compared to a loss of $14.8 million in 2024.

2026–2028 Outlook

The Company reaffirms its revenue guidance of $24–26 million for 2026, $32–35 million for 2027, and $50–55 million for 2028. Guidance assumes continued support from BARDA and the U.S. Department of War. The 2028 outlook includes a potential initial contribution from EscharEx, subject to regulatory approval.

Balance Sheet Highlights

As of December 31, 2025, cash, cash equivalents and deposits totaled $53.6 million, compared to $43.6 million as of December 31, 2024.
During 2025, the Company used $21.4 million in cash to fund operating activities.
In 2025, the Company strengthened its balance sheet through a $30.0 million registered direct offering and $3.5 million in proceeds from Series A warrant exercises.

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.
