SURPRISE, Ariz., March 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SenesTech, Inc. (NASDAQ:SNES), a leader in birth control solutions for managing rodent populations, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and the full year ended December 31, 2025.

2025 Highlights

Revenue increased by 20% to $2.2 million in 2025 as compared to 2024, driven by strong growth in the Company's overall e-commerce channels despite the impact associated with the Company's transition to directly managing Amazon sales of Evolve^® Rat and Evolve Mouse. Excluding this transition-related impact, we estimate revenue would have increased by approximately 30%. As the transition becomes fully integrated, direct Amazon management is expected to meaningfully enhance both revenue and operating margins in the future.
Gross profit margin was 62.5% in 2025, compared to 54.1% in 2024, driven by the higher margin profile of the Evolve product line and manufacturing improvements.
Net loss for 2025 was $6.4 million compared to $6.2 million in 2024. 2025 included $631,000 in one-time legal expenses and $135,000 in non-cash operating lease expense. Excluding these items, Adjusted Net Loss would have been $5.6 million.
Adjusted EBITDA loss improved to $5.3 million in 2025, compared to $5.8 million in 2024, reflecting continued revenue growth and improved gross margins partially offset by higher operating investments.
The balance sheet was strengthened by capital raises completed in 2025, resulting in cash and short-term investments of $8.6 million at the end of 2025. The Company believes this capital will be sufficient to provide operating runway through approximately the second quarter of 2027.

Operational and Strategic Highlights

E-commerce Growth: E-commerce revenue increased 88% year-over-year from 2024 to 2025, driven by strong growth on Amazon and the Company's direct-to-consumer website, notwithstanding the loss of an estimated $200,000 in 2025 revenue as a result of the Company's transition to directly managing Amazon sales. If the Company had recognized an additional $200,000 in E-Commerce revenue for this transition, E-Commerce revenue growth would have been 130%.
Amazon Direct Management: SenesTech has begun directly managing Amazon sales of Evolve Rat and Evolve Mouse, transitioning from third-party management to strengthen product presentation and customer communications, leverage performance data to optimize marketing, and retain a greater portion of e-commerce economics. While the transition created an approximately $200,000 fourth quarter revenue impact, management expects direct control to drive higher revenue and stronger margins once fully integrated.
Field Validation: Multi-month Evolve deployments in two urban study areas delivered measurable reductions in rodent activity within five months, including a 79% decline in rat activity at one site and more than a 50% decline at a second site.
International Expansion: Evolve secured regulatory approval in New Zealand (with the initial stocking order shipped to exclusive partner Evicom) and expanded international footprint in Belize by adding the Belize Raptor Center as an official distributor.
CEO Transition: SenesTech's Board has initiated a formal search for a new CEO following Joel Fruendt's retirement, and appointed Dr. Jamie Bechtel to the newly created role of Interim Executive Chair to support leadership continuity and strategic execution during the transition period.

Commentary

"2025 marked meaningful progress, with continued field validation, revenue growth, improved margins, and a stronger balance sheet," said Joel Fruendt, President and CEO of SenesTech. "We believe field validation of efficacy becomes a powerful catalyst for expanded acceptance in the market, as reflected in the strong growth of our e-commerce channel, which is now more than 50% of our annual revenue. We are leaning further into the direct-to-consumer and e-commerce opportunities, strengthening our control of the customer experience, improving performance management, and enhancing our ability to capture more value as adoption expands."

"With a CEO transition plan underway, the Board remains focused on continuity, alignment, and disciplined execution as we support management in scaling the business," said Dr. Jamie Bechtel, Interim Executive Chair of SenesTech. "With a growing body of validation and a sharpened go-to-market approach, we are focused on executing with discipline, expanding adoption, and building long-term stockholder value."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Loss are non-GAAP measures. However, these measures are not intended to be a substitute for those financial measures reported in accordance with GAAP. These have been included because management believes that, when considered together with the GAAP figures, they provide meaningful information related to our operating performance and liquidity and can enhance an overall understanding of financial results and trends. We use these non-GAAP financial measures as part of our overall assessment of our performance, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, and to communicate with our board of directors concerning our financial performance. These adjustments may be calculated by us differently than other companies that disclose measures with the same or similar term. See our attached financials for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the nearest GAAP measure.
