ROSELAND, N.J., Nov. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Milestone Scientific Inc. (NYSE:MLSS), a leading developer of computerized drug delivery instruments that provide painless and precise injections, today announced financial results and provided a business update for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025, highlighting continued progress on the Company's transformation and growth initiatives.

Eric Hines, Chief Executive Officer of Milestone Scientific, stated, "During the third quarter, we made measurable progress executing our plan to build a leaner, more focused organization capable of sustained growth and improved profitability. Through disciplined cost management and operational restructuring, we reduced third-quarter operating expenses by over half a million dollars compared to the same period last year. At the same time, we delivered stable revenue performance while continuing to strengthen our underlying business fundamentals."

"Within our dental segment, we continued to expand our direct sales programs in North America and continued securing new international registrations for our STA® Single Tooth Anesthesia System. We also enhanced our omnichannel digital marketing strategy to drive broader brand visibility and recurring e-commerce sales. On the medical side, we are encouraged by growing utilization and recurring revenue from CompuFlo® disposables, as well as increasing interest from hospitals and international distributors."

"In parallel, we continue to advance our reimbursement strategy for CompuFlo®, building on recent progress in securing Medicare payment-rate assignments and expanding commercial coverage. These developments are key enablers for broader adoption in hospitals and pain-management settings. As we expand our institutional presence and align with payers, we believe reimbursement access will play an important role in driving the next phase of medical segment growth."

"Our operational transformation is well underway. We have strengthened our sales infrastructure, improved organizational alignment, and are prioritizing initiatives with the highest near-term return potential. Looking ahead, we expect these actions to translate into improved margins, continued revenue stability, and long-term value creation for our shareholders," concluded Hines.
