Hosting Conference Call and Webcast today at 8:30am ET

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- TriSalus Life Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: TLSI) (the “Company”), an oncology company integrating novel delivery technology with standard of care therapies, and its investigational immunotherapeutic to transform treatment for patients with solid tumors, today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, and provided an operational update.

“The third quarter marked an important period of growth and expansion for TriSalus – we drove double-digit year-over-year growth and received FDA clearance for TriNav Advance, which enables Pressure-Enabled Drug Delivery to small distal vessels through the microcatheter of the physician’s choice. This clearance allows us to address the full range of vessels encountered in liver embolization procedures going forward,” said Mary Szela, President and Chief Executive Officer of TriSalus.

"Looking ahead, we believe we are well positioned for 2027. We more than doubled our commercial footprint over the first half of the year, and although our team productivity has ramped slightly slower than anticipated, our representatives continue to educate and drive further TriNav utilization as they build and strengthen relationships with interventional radiologists. Combined with the launch of TriNav Advance, expanded access to office-based labs through the new G-code, and continued cost discipline, we believe we have laid the foundation for continued growth in 2027 and beyond.”

Recent Business Highlights

• Received FDA clearance for TriNav Advance, which enables PEDD to small distal vessels through the microcatheter of the physician’s choice.
• In the calendar year 2027 Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System ("OPPS") final rule, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS") finalized the reassignment of HCPCS code C8004 from APC 5193 to APC 5194, aligning it with C9797, which is already assigned to APC 5194. Based on the final rule, the national Medicare payment rate for procedures billed under C8004 will increase from approximately $11,794 to approximately $20,910, effective January 1, 2027.
• Additionally, CMS published its calendar year 2027 Physician Fee Schedule final rule, establishing national payment for HCPCS code G0577, vascular embolization using a pressure-generating catheter in the office-based lab setting. Effective January 1, 2027, the total national office payment is approximately $13,800 per procedure, extending reimbursement for PEDD.
• Achieved the enrollment cutoff required for the interim analysis of the PROTECT registry in thyroid artery embolization; the Company remains on track to deliver the first multi-center U.S. data on thyroid artery embolization in the first quarter of 2027.

Financial Results for Q3 2026

• Revenue from the sale of the TriNav system was $12.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, an increase of 11.3% compared to the same period in 2025. The increase in revenue was primarily due to an increase in TriNav units sold.
• Gross margins were 86.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to 83.5% for the same period in 2025. The year-over-year increase in gross margin was primarily due to a reduction in cost per TriNav unit.
• Operating losses were $7.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to losses of $9.0 million for the same period in 2025. The decrease in operating losses was primarily driven by improved gross margins, lower research and development expenses and lower general and administrative expenses, partially offset by higher sales and marketing expenses related to our investment in marketing and our sales organization expansion.
• Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $8.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to a net loss of $41.3 million for the same period in 2025. This change is primarily driven by the conversion of our preferred stock to common stock during the third quarter of 2025, resulting in approximately $30.5 million of net loss attributable to common stockholders. The current period includes $0.1 million of non-cash net gains related to changes in the fair value of various derivatives for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to net losses of $0.4 million for the same period in 2025. The basic and diluted loss per share for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was $0.15, compared to $0.96 for the same period in 2025.
• The non-GAAP measure of adjusted EBITDA is shown in the table below as the Company believes it is an important measure of performance. Adjusted EBITDA losses were $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to losses of $5.4 million for the same period in 2025. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA losses were primarily driven by improved gross margins, lower research and development and lower general and administrative expenses, partially offset by increased sales and marketing expenses.
• On September 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents totaled $41.1 million. The Company raised $46.0 million in gross proceeds in the first quarter from an equity offering.

2026 Financial Guidance

The Company is updating its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $46 million to $48 million, representing growth of approximately 2% to 6% compared to full year 2025.

About TriSalus Life Sciences

TriSalus Life Sciences^® is an oncology focused medical technology company seeking to transform outcomes for patients with solid tumors by integrating its innovative delivery technology with standard-of-care therapies, and with its investigational immunotherapeutic, nelitolimod, a class C Toll-like receptor 9 agonist, for a range of different therapeutic and technology applications. The Company’s platform includes devices that utilize a proprietary drug delivery technology and a clinical stage investigational immunotherapy. The Company’s four FDA-cleared devices and two devices commercialized under Letters to File use its proprietary Pressure-Enabled Drug Delivery™ (PEDD) approach to deliver a range of therapeutics: the five TriNav® Infusion Systems and the Pancreatic Retrograde Venous Infusion System. The PEDD technology is a novel delivery approach designed to address the anatomic limitations of arterial infusion for the pancreas. The PEDD approach modulates pressure and flow in a manner that delivers more therapeutic to the tumor and is designed to reduce undesired delivery to normal tissue, bringing the potential to improve patient outcomes. Nelitolimod, the Company’s investigational immunotherapeutic candidate, is designed to improve patient outcomes by treating the immunosuppressive environment created by many tumors and which can make current immunotherapies ineffective in the liver and pancreas. Patient data generated during Pressure-Enabled Regional Immuno-Oncology™ (PERIO) clinical trials support the hypothesis that nelitolimod delivered via the PEDD technology may have favorable immune effects within the liver and systemically. The target for nelitolimod, TLR9, is expressed across cancer types and the mechanical barriers addressed by the PEDD technology are commonly present as well. The Company is in the final stages of data completion for a number of phase 1 clinical trials and plans to begin exploring partnership opportunities for development.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

To supplement the financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, TriSalus has also included in this press release non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, which excludes from net loss, income tax expense, interest expense, interest income, change in fair value of SEPA, warrant and revenue-base redemption liabilities, change in fair value of contingent earnout liability, stock-based compensation expense, other expense, net and depreciation. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, do not serve as an alternative to GAAP and may be calculated differently than similar non-GAAP financial information disclosed by other companies. TriSalus encourages investors to carefully consider its results under GAAP, as well as its supplemental non-GAAP financial information and the reconciliation between these presentations set forth below, to more fully understand TriSalus’ business.

TriSalus believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to, and facilitates additional analysis by, investors. In particular, TriSalus believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with its financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, can enhance investors’ and analysts’ ability to meaningfully compare TriSalus’ results from period to period, and to identify operating trends in TriSalus’ business.

Key Terms

hospital outpatient prospective payment system regulatory

A hospital outpatient prospective payment system (HOPPS) is a government-set pricing rule that pays hospitals a fixed amount for specific outpatient services instead of reimbursing every item separately. Think of it like a pre-priced menu: hospitals receive set payments for defined procedures or visits, which makes revenue more predictable and forces cost control — a key factor investors use to gauge a hospital’s profit stability and how policy changes might affect margins.

hcpcs code regulatory

A HCPCS code is a standard alphanumeric label used in the U.S. to identify medical services, supplies and durable equipment for billing to Medicare, Medicaid and private insurers. Think of it like a barcode or SKU that tells insurers exactly what was provided so they can decide how much to pay. Investors watch HCPCS codes because assignment, coverage or reimbursement levels tied to a code directly affect a healthcare product’s sales, revenue predictability and market access.

physician fee schedule regulatory

A physician fee schedule is a payer’s published list of payment rates for specific medical services and procedures, identified by procedure codes (CPT/HCPCS). For Medicare, the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) sets national payment amounts by converting each service’s relative value units (work, practice expense, malpractice), adjusting for local geographic cost indexes, and applying a conversion factor; private insurers may use similar schedules with different rates or adjustments. It governs how much the payer reimburses a clinician or group for a billed service but does not itself determine whether a service is covered or the patient’s out‑of‑pocket obligation.

adjusted ebitda financial

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

non-gaap financial

Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.
