Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Cerus Corporation reported strong 2025 growth with total revenue of $233.8 million, up 16% from 2024. Product revenue rose 14% to $206.1 million, helped by expansion of its INTERCEPT platelet franchise and higher U.S. INTERCEPT Fibrinogen Complex (IFC) sales.

IFC revenue increased about 80% to $16.7 million, and total product gross profit reached $112.3 million with a 54.5% margin, slightly below last year. Net loss narrowed to $15.6 million (or $0.08 per share), while non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA improved to $9.5 million. Cerus ended 2025 with $82.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and generated $4.8 million in operating cash flow for the year. For 2026, the company reaffirms product revenue guidance of $224–$228 million, implying 9%–11% growth, including expected IFC revenue of $20–$22 million, or roughly 20%–30% growth.

Positive

  • Strong top-line growth and improving EBITDA: 2025 total revenue rose 16% to $233.8 million, product revenue grew 14% to $206.1 million, and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA increased to $9.5 million from $5.7 million, showing better operating leverage.

Negative

  • Business still loss-making with modest margin compression: Net loss attributable to Cerus remained sizable at $15.6 million in 2025 and product gross margin declined from 55.2% to 54.5%, reflecting higher production costs and macro pressures.

Insights

Double‑digit revenue growth and improving cash metrics, but business remains loss‑making.

Cerus delivered a solid 2025 with total revenue of $233.8 million, up 16%, and product revenue of $206.1 million, up 14%. Growth was broad-based, with government contract revenue rising and strong contributions from INTERCEPT platelets and IFC.

Profitability metrics are improving but not fully resolved. Product gross margin dipped slightly to 54.5%, yet non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA climbed to $9.5 million from $5.7 million. The net loss narrowed to $15.6 million, indicating better operating leverage despite higher R&D and SG&A expenses.

Liquidity appears stable, with $82.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at December 31, 2025, and $4.8 million of operating cash flow for the year. Guidance for 2026 product revenue of $224–$228 million and IFC revenue of $20–$22 million signals continued growth expectations, though execution on commercialization and macro risks described in the forward-looking section remain important considerations.

2025 Total Revenue of $233.8 million, up 16% from 2024; 2025 Product Revenue of $206.1 million, up 14% from 2024

Strengthened Financial Foundation Through Strong Commercial Execution and Disciplined Operational Management

 

CONCORD, CA, March 2, 2026 - Cerus Corporation (Nasdaq: CERS) announced today financial results for its full year and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025.

 

“Our strong 2025 results reflect our disciplined execution, as we continued to deliver on our mission of safeguarding the world’s blood supply. This past year, we achieved our highest annual kit shipments, enabling an estimated 600,000 patients worldwide to receive INTERCEPT-treated blood components,” said William “Obi” Greenman, Cerus’ president and chief executive officer. “This translated into record product revenue of over $206 million, a narrowing of our GAAP net loss, and positive non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for the second consecutive year. Looking ahead to 2026, we remain focused on improving global access to our INTERCEPT technologies, advancing our product development programs and building upon the solid financial foundation we have established.”

INTERCEPT Fibrinogen Complex (IFC) demand increased during the fourth quarter, with fourth quarter volumes - including kits and finished therapeutic doses (measured in FC15* equivalent units) - up over 50% compared to the prior year period. Fourth quarter U.S. IFC sales totaled $4.2 million, up from $3.0 million in the prior year period. For full year 2025, IFC demand more than doubled compared to 2024, while revenue increased approximately 80% to $16.7 million.
Entered into a group purchasing agreement with Blood Centers of America (BCA) during the fourth quarter, covering the Company’s licensed product portfolio. BCA is the largest blood supply cooperative in the U.S., with its member centers collecting and distributing approximately 50% of the nation’s blood supply.
Recently announced the start of the INITIATE study by the German Red Cross Blood Donation Service Baden-Württemberg – Hessen. INITIATE is a Phase 4 study evaluating the routine clinical use in Germany of pathogen-inactivated platelets utilizing the INTERCEPT Blood System.
Not including government grant revenue, the Company expects full-year 2026 product revenue to grow 9% to 11% year over year.

 

 


 

Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments were $82.9 million at December 31, 2025.

Revenue

 

Product revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $57.8 million, compared to $50.8 million for the prior year period, representing year-over-year growth of 14%. Fourth quarter growth was primarily driven by strength in EMEA across the platelets franchise and continued rollout of INT200, as well as increased U.S. IFC sales. Product revenue for the full year 2025 was $206.1 million, compared to $180.3 million for the prior year, representing 14% growth. Full-year growth was driven by continued expansion of the Company’s global platelet products, increased U.S. IFC sales, and the launch of INT200 in EMEA.

 

Government contract revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $6.8 million, compared to $5.9 million during the prior year period. Full year 2025 government contract revenue was $27.7 million, compared to $21.1 million during the prior year period. The increase in fourth quarter and full year government contract revenue was largely driven by BARDA-related projects.

 

Product Gross Profit and Margin

 

Product gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $29.7 million, increasing by 9% over the prior year period. Product gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2025 was 51.5% compared to 53.9% in the same period last year. Full-year 2025 product gross profit was $112.3 million, representing 13% growth compared to 2024. Full-year product gross margin was 54.5%, compared to 55.2% in the prior year. Higher IFC therapeutic production costs, ongoing trade regulation and inflationary pressures, as well as foreign exchange rates contributed to the change in product gross margin percentage compared to the prior year for both periods.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Total operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $37.2 million, compared to $34.8 million in the same period of the prior year, representing a 7% year-over-year increase. For the full year 2025, total operating expenses were $148.6 million, compared to $134.8 million in 2024.

 

Research and development (R&D) expenses for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $16.4 million, compared to $15.4 million in the prior year period. For the full year 2025, R&D expenses totaled $67.7 million, compared to $58.9 million in 2024. Higher government contract costs and workforce-related costs contributed to the increase in R&D expenses for the fourth quarter. For the full year, the increase was driven by the same factors as well as increased development costs associated with the Company’s red blood cell and INT200 programs.

 

Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $20.8 million, compared to $19.3 million in the prior year period. For the full year 2025, SG&A expenses totaled $80.9 million, compared to $75.9 million for the full year 2024.

 

Net Loss Attributable to Cerus Corporation

 

Net loss attributable to Cerus Corporation narrowed for the fourth quarter of 2025 and was $2.2 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, compared to $2.5 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2024.

 

For the full year 2025, net loss attributable to Cerus Corporation was $15.6 million, or $0.08 per basic and diluted share, compared to $20.9 million, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share, in 2024.

 

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA

2

 

 


 

 

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $3.4 million, compared to $3.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. Full-year 2025 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $9.5 million, compared to $5.7 million in 2024. For additional information, please see definitions and the reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to net loss attributable to Cerus Corporation accompanying this release.

 

Balance Sheet and Cash Flows

 

At December 31, 2025, the Company had $82.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, compared to $80.5 million at December 31, 2024.

 

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $65.0 million outstanding on its term loan and $19.0 million drawn on its revolving credit facility. The Company’s revolving line of credit allows for an additional $16.0 million as of December 31, 2025, which is dependent on eligible assets supporting the borrowing base.

 

For the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company generated $6.2 million in operating cash flow, compared to $4.9 million in the prior year period. The Company generated $8.1 million of operating cash flow in the second half of 2025 offsetting operating cash used during the first half of 2025. As a result, for the full year 2025, the Company generated $4.8 million in operating cash flow, compared to $11.4 million generated during 2024. These results were consistent with the Company’s previously communicated expectations which anticipated first-half cash use related to inventory investment, followed by stronger operating cash flow in the second half of 2025.

 

Reaffirming 2026 Product Revenue Guidance

 

The Company expects full-year 2026 product revenue to be in the range of $224 million to $228 million, representing year-over-year growth of 9% to 11% compared to 2025 product revenue. Included in the 2026 guidance range is expected full-year 2026 IFC revenue of $20 million to $22 million, representing year-over-year growth of approximately 20% to 30% from 2025.

 

Quarterly Conference Call

 

The Company will host a conference call at 4:30 P.M. ET this afternoon, during which management will discuss the Company’s financial results and provide a general business overview and outlook.

Except for the historical statements contained herein, this press release contains forward-looking statements concerning Cerus’ products, prospects and expected results, including statements relating to: Cerus’ expectation that full-year 2026 product revenue will be in the range of $224 million to $228 million, including IFC revenue of between $20 million and $22 million; Cerus’ expectation that full-year 2026 product revenue will grow 9% to 11% year over year; Cerus continuing to have access to $16.0 million under its revolving line of credit; Cerus’ ability to continue to improve global access to its INTERCEPT technologies; Cerus’ ability to advance our product development programs; the continued commercialization and launch of INT200 and IFC; and other statements that are not historical fact. Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, without limitation: risks associated with the commercialization and market acceptance of, and customer demand for, the INTERCEPT Blood System and IFC; the risk that Cerus may not meet its 2026 annual product revenue guidance; the risk that Cerus may not effectively continue to launch and commercialize the INTERCEPT Blood System for Cryoprecipitation or INT200; the risk that Cerus may not grow sales globally, including in its U.S. and European markets, and/or realize expected revenue contributions resulting from its U.S. and European market agreements; risks related to the uncertain and time-consuming development and regulatory process, including the risk that Cerus may be unable to obtain requisite regulatory approvals to advance its pipeline programs and bring them to market in a timely manner or at all; risks associated with macroeconomic developments, including ongoing military conflict in Ukraine, new or increased tariffs and escalating trade tensions, inflation, rising interest rates and foreign exchange volatility and the resulting global economic and financial disruptions; risks related to Cerus’ ability to demonstrate to the transfusion medicine community and other healthcare constituencies that pathogen reduction and the INTERCEPT Blood System are safe, effective and economical; risks related to product safety; risks associated with Cerus’ ability to maintain an effective, secure manufacturing supply chain, including risks that (a) Cerus’ supply chain could be negatively impacted as a result of macroeconomic developments, (b) Cerus’ manufacturers could be unable to comply with extensive regulatory agency requirements, and (c) Cerus may be unable to maintain its supply agreements with its third-party suppliers; risks associated with Cerus’ ability to access additional funds under its credit facility and to meet its debt service obligations, and its need for additional funding; risks associated with the impact of legislative or regulatory healthcare reforms that may make it more difficult and costly for Cerus to produce, market and distribute its products; as well as other risks detailed in Cerus’ filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including under the heading “Risk Factors” in Cerus’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2025 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.
