Biofrontera Inc. Reports Strong Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results Driven by 30% Year-Over-Year Revenue Growth

Sentiment and the balance of points

Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.

Biofrontera (NASDAQ: BFRI) reported third-quarter net product revenue of $9.1 million, up 29.8% from the prior-year quarter. Gross margin rose to 74.4% from 70.7%, while net loss narrowed to $6.4 million, or $(0.42) per share, from $6.6 million, or $(0.62). Biofrontera believes accelerated customer ordering changed order timing rather than total demand.

Nine-month revenue rose 26.6% to $31.2 million; net loss narrowed to $11.8 million from $16.2 million. September 30 cash was $3.2 million, versus $6.4 million at year-end. FDA approved Ameluz for superficial basal cell carcinoma on September 9. Biofrontera plans commercialization later in the fourth quarter and into early 2027. Customs cleared the redesigned RhodoLED XL-C lamp on September 14, and placements began during the quarter. An October application seeks to expand Ameluz treatment of precancerous actinic keratosis lesions to the extremities, neck and trunk.

How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Key Terms

photodynamic therapy, supplemental new drug application, convertible notes
3 terms
photodynamic therapy medical
"development and commercialization of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in dermatology"
Photodynamic therapy is a medical treatment that uses a special light-sensitive substance and a specific type of light to target and destroy abnormal or diseased cells, often in cancer treatment. It is important to investors because advances in this technology can lead to new, minimally invasive treatment options, potentially expanding healthcare markets and driving growth for biotech companies involved in developing such therapies.
supplemental new drug application regulatory
"submitted a supplemental New Drug Application to expand the Ameluz® label"
A supplemental new drug application is a request submitted to regulatory authorities to make changes to an existing approved medication, such as adding new uses, strengths, or formulations. For investors, it signals that a pharmaceutical company is seeking approval for new product developments or expanded applications, which can impact the company's future sales, market potential, and stock value.
convertible notes financial
"$4.7 million of convertible notes, net, maturing in November 2027"
Convertible notes are a type of short-term loan that a company receives from investors, which can later be turned into company shares instead of being paid back in cash. They matter to investors because they offer a way to support a company early on while giving the potential to own a stake in its success if the company grows and later raises more funding.

WOBURN, Mass., Nov. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Biofrontera Inc. (NASDAQ: BFRI) ("Biofrontera" or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development and commercialization of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in dermatology, today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.

Third Quarter 2026 Highlights

  • Net product revenue of $9.1 million, an increase of 29.8% compared to $7.0 million in the prior-year period.
  • Gross margin of 74.4%, compared to 70.7% in the prior-year period, an improvement of approximately 370 basis points, reflecting the lower Ameluz® cost structure established following the closing of the strategic transaction with Biofrontera AG in October 2025 (the “Strategic Transaction”), partially offset by ITC Matter-related inventory write-downs and higher lamp and device costs.
  • Net loss of $6.4 million, or $(0.42) per share, compared to a net loss of $6.6 million, or $(0.62) per share, in the prior-year period.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $(5.5) million, compared to $(6.0) million in the prior-year period.
  • On September 9, 2026 FDA Approval of Ameluz on September for the treatment of Superficial Basal Cell Carcinoma (sBCC), making Ameluz plus Red-Light the first and only PDT approved for the treatment of cancerous skin tumors.
  • US Customs and Border Protection ruled that the re-designed XL-C lamp did not violate the ITC order and could be imported for use in the US market.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 Highlights

  • Net product revenue of $31.2 million, an increase of 26.6% from $24.6 million in the prior-year period.
  • Gross margin of 78.0%, compared to 67.7% in the prior-year period.
  • Net loss of $11.8 million, or $(0.89) per share, compared to a net loss of $16.2 million, or $(1.67) per share, in the prior-year period.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $(9.3) million, compared to $(15.5) million in the prior-year period.

Hermann Luebbert, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Biofrontera, stated: "The third quarter was a pivotal one for Biofrontera. On September 9, the FDA approved Ameluz® PDT for the treatment of superficial basal cell carcinoma (sBCC), making it the first PDT approved in the United States for a cancerous skin tumor. Five days later, U.S. Customs and Border Protection ruled that our redesigned RhodoLED® XL-C is not subject to the ITC exclusion order, which allows us to again serve the customers who rely on our large-field lamp. Revenue grew 30% in the quarter and 27% for the first nine months, and our gross margin continues to reflect the lower cost structure we put in place with the Strategic Transaction. The quarter also carried the legal and remediation costs of the ITC Matter, and with the XL-C now cleared our attention is on execution. We are preparing to begin commercializing Ameluz® for sBCC later in the fourth quarter and into the first quarter of 2027, and in October we submitted a supplemental New Drug Application to expand the Ameluz® label for actinic keratosis to the extremities, neck and trunk. Each of these indications is served by the lamps and the sales force we already have in place.”

Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Net product revenue for the third quarter of 2026 was $9.1 million, an increase of $2.1 million, or 29.8%, from $7.0 million in the third quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to a 23.3% increase in Ameluz® unit volume resulting in an increase of $1.6 million and $0.3 million due to price and mix increase, with the balance reflecting higher device sales. The increase in unit volume was partially driven by accelerated order timing from certain customers in early July 2026 in anticipation of potential supply restrictions resulting from the limited exclusion order and cease and desist order issued by the U.S. International Trade Commission ("ITC") related to our RhodoLED® XL lamp, which took effect on July 6, 2026 (the "ITC Matter") and importantly, commercial execution where we have focused on increasing utilization with key accounts and bringing Ameluz to new dermatology customers. We believe that the accelerated ordering impacted the timing of orders rather than total demand. On September 14, 2026, U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") issued a ruling finding that our redesigned RhodoLED® XL-C is not subject to the exclusion order, and we began placing XL-C lamps during the 3rd quarter, enabling these customers to again purchase Ameluz®.

Cost of revenues was $2.3 million, compared to $2.0 million in the prior-year period, producing gross profit of $6.7 million and a gross margin of 74.4%, compared to gross profit of $4.9 million and a gross margin of 70.7% in the third quarter of 2025. The improvement was driven principally by the transition from the prior transfer pricing arrangement to a cost structure comprising Ameluz® direct cost plus a 12% earnout on net revenue, which reduced cost of Ameluz® despite a 23.3% increase in unit volume. This was partially offset by a $0.4 million increase in lamp and device costs, including $0.3 million of ITC Matter-related inventory write-downs.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, including SG&A, related party, were $12.5 million, compared to $10.4 million in the prior-year quarter, an increase of $2.1 million, driven primarily by a $0.9 million increase in legal fees related to the ITC Matter, $0.7 million of combined costs from lamp manufacturing and regulatory and product affairs, and a $0.5 million increase in direct sales expenses, mainly commissions on higher Ameluz® sales volume.

Research and development expenses were $0.5 million, compared to $0.9 million in the prior-year quarter, reflecting the substantial completion of clinical trials.

Patent remediation expense related to the ITC Matter was $0.3 million, compared to none in the prior-year quarter, reflecting a $0.2 million increase in the estimated remediation cost following the September 14, 2026 CBP ruling and a $0.1 million write-down of loaner and RhodoLED® XL lamps used in the remediation program.

Net loss for the third quarter was $6.4 million, or $(0.42) per share, compared to a net loss of $6.6 million, or $(0.62) per share, for the prior-year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure reconciled below, was $(5.5) million, compared to $(6.0) million in the prior-year period.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 Financial Results

Net product revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $31.2 million, an increase of $6.6 million, or 26.6%, from $24.6 million in the first nine months of 2025. The increase reflects Ameluz® unit volume growth of $5.5 million and a price impact of approximately $0.7 million and the remainder generally attributable to increases in device sales.

Cost of revenues was $6.8 million, compared to $8.0 million in the prior-year period, producing gross profit of $24.3 million and gross margin of 78.0%, compared to gross profit of $16.7 million and gross margin of 67.7% in the prior-year period. The improvement was driven principally by the same transition in Ameluz® cost structure described above.

SG&A expenses, including SG&A related party, were $33.2 million, compared to $29.6 million in the prior-year period, an increase of $3.5 million. The increase was primarily driven by $1.8 million of combined costs from manufacturing and regulatory and product affairs; $1.2 million of higher direct sales expenses, mainly sales commissions reflecting Ameluz® sales volume growth; and $0.8 million of higher sales support expenses, reflecting increased commercial activity. Other SG&A expenses, including stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and bad debt, increased $0.3 million. These increases were partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses, related party, and a $0.2 million decrease in general and administrative costs.

Research and development expenses were $1.8 million, compared to $2.9 million, reflecting the substantial completion of clinical trials.

Patent remediation expense related to the ITC Matter was $0.7 million, compared to none in the prior-year period. Including inventory write-downs recorded in cost of revenues, the Company has recognized total charges of $1.1 million related to the ITC Matter through September 30, 2026, consisting of $0.6 million of accrued remediation costs and $0.5 million of inventory write-downs to net realizable value. Of the accrued remediation costs, $0.2 million was settled with inventory used in the remediation program and the remaining $0.4 million is paid or payable in cash.

Net loss was $11.8 million, or $(0.89) per share, compared to a net loss of $16.2 million, or $(1.67) per share, in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA was $(9.3) million, compared to $(15.5) million in the prior-year period.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We define adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss before interest income and expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other non-operating items from our statements of operations as well as certain other items considered outside the normal course of our operations specifically described below. Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP. Our definition of adjusted EBITDA may vary from the use of similarly titled measures by others in our industry due to the potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation and differences due to items subject to interpretation. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss, operating income/(loss), cash flows from operating activities or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance or liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

We exclude the change in fair value of warrant liabilities and the change in fair value of investment, related party, because these items are non-cash. We exclude patent remediation expense and ITC-related inventory write-downs because they relate to a discrete adverse legal and regulatory matter that is not indicative of the Company's ongoing operating performance. We exclude stock-based compensation, which is non-cash, because the subjective assumptions and variety of award types involved can cause this expense to vary significantly, and its exclusion allows for more meaningful comparisons of our operating results to peer companies.

Adjusted EBITDA margin is Adjusted EBITDA for a particular period expressed as a percentage of revenues for that period. We use Adjusted EBITDA to measure our performance from period to period and to compare our results to those of our competitors, and we believe that, when viewed with GAAP financial information, this presentation provides investors with useful information regarding financial and business trends related to our results of operations and a more meaningful understanding of our ongoing operating performance.
