[8-K] Forian Inc. Reports Material Event
Forian Inc. reported strong growth in fourth quarter and full year 2025 results. Full year 2025 revenue was $30,256,919, up from $20,153,263 in 2024, while net loss narrowed to $2,874,042 from $3,771,070. Adjusted EBITDA improved to $840,408 from $489,134, reflecting better underlying profitability.
In the fourth quarter, revenue rose to $7,962,480 from $5,812,472, but the company posted a net loss of $1,821,752 versus net income of $199,711 a year earlier, and negative Adjusted EBITDA of $170,531 versus positive $120,599. As of December 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents were $12,903,760, total assets were $44,130,895, and total liabilities were $14,352,147, leaving stockholders’ equity of $29,778,748.

Insights
Rapid revenue growth and positive Adjusted EBITDA, but Q4 profitability remains weak.
Forian delivered full year revenue of $30.3M, up 50% from 2024, and improved its GAAP net loss to $2.9M. Adjusted EBITDA turned positive at $0.84M, indicating better core operating performance after non-cash and financing items.
The fourth quarter showed mixed quality: revenue grew 37% to $8.0M, but results swung from a small profit to a net loss of $1.8M and negative Adjusted EBITDA. On the balance sheet, cash and cash equivalents increased to $12.9M and total liabilities declined to $14.4M, partly reflecting elimination of convertible notes. Subsequent filings may provide more detail on sustainability of margins and cost controls.

On August 25, 2025, a consortium, led by Forian’s Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chair (the "Consortium”),
submitted a non-binding proposal to Forian’s Board of Directors to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock not currently owned by the Consortium. A Special Committee that was formed to evaluate this proposal remains
in place and is in discussions with the Consortium regarding the proposal. There can be no assurance that any transaction will result from these discussions, that the terms of any potential transaction will be acceptable to the Special
Committee or Forian’s Board of Directors, or as to the timing of any transaction. Forian does not intend to comment further on the status of these discussions unless and until a definitive agreement is reached or its Board otherwise
determines that disclosure is appropriate or required.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense is
a non-cash expense relating to capital expenditures and intangible assets arising from acquisitions that are expensed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related assets. The Company excludes depreciation and
amortization expense from Adjusted EBITDA because management believes that (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of the business operations and (ii) such expenses can
vary significantly between periods as a result of new acquisitions and full amortization of previously acquired tangible and intangible assets. Accordingly, management believes that this exclusion assists management and investors in making
period-to-period comparisons of operating performance. Investors should note that the use of tangible and intangible assets contributed to revenue in the periods presented and will contribute to future revenue generation and should also note
that such expense will recur in future periods.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense. Stock-based compensation expense is a
non-cash expense arising from the grant of stock-based awards to employees. Management believes that excluding the effect of stock-based compensation from Adjusted EBITDA assists management and investors in making period-to-period comparisons
in the Company’s operating performance because (i) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of business operations and (ii) such expenses can vary significantly between
periods as a result of the timing of grants of new stock-based awards, including grants in connection with acquisitions. Management believes that excluding stock-based compensation from Adjusted EBITDA assists management and investors in
making meaningful comparisons between the Company’s operating performance and the operating performance of other companies that may use different forms of employee compensation or different valuation methodologies for their stock-based
compensation. Investors should note that stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to employees whose efforts contributed to the operating results in the periods presented and are expected to contribute to operating results in
future periods. Investors should also note that such expenses will recur in the future.
|
| • |
Interest Expense. Interest expense is associated with the convertible
notes entered into on September 1, 2021 in the amount of $24,000,000 (the “Notes”). The Notes matured on September 1, 2025, and had accrued interest at an annual rate of 3.5%. Management excludes interest expense from Adjusted EBITDA (i)
because it is not directly attributable to the performance of business operations and, accordingly, its exclusion assists management and investors in making period-to-period comparisons of operating performance and (ii) to assist management
and investors in making comparisons to companies with different capital structures.
|
| • |
Interest and Investment Income. Interest and Investment income is
associated with the level of marketable debt securities and other interest-bearing accounts in which the Company invests. Interest and investment income can vary over time due to changes in interest rates and level of investments. Management
excludes interest and investment income from Adjusted EBITDA (i) because these items are not directly attributable to the performance of business operations and, accordingly, their exclusion assists management and investors in making
period-to-period comparisons of operating performance and (ii) to assist management and investors in making comparisons to companies with different capital structures. Investors should note that interest and investment income will recur in
future periods.
|
| • |
Other Items. The Company engages in other activities and transactions
that can impact net loss. In the periods reported, these other items included (i) gain on sale of investment relating to the sale of a minority equity interest, (ii) gain on debt redemption which relates to a gain on the early retirement of a
portion of the Notes (for further discussion, refer to “Note 11 – Convertible Notes” to the financial statements), and (iii) gain on bargain purchase in connection with the business combination (for further discussion, refer to “Note 4 -
Acquisition” to the financial statements). Management excludes these other items from Adjusted EBITDA because management believes these activities or transactions are not directly attributable to the performance of business operations and,
accordingly, their exclusion assists management and investors in making period-to-period comparisons of operating performance. Investors should note that some of these other items may recur in future periods.

Litigation related expenses. Management excludes litigation expenses that are extraordinary in nature and are unrelated to the Company’s day-to-day business operations. The nature of these expenses is primarily related to
direct and incremental third-party legal expenses and settlement expenses, net of any insurance recoveries, associated with such litigation, which pertains to entities acquired in the Helix merger, see “Note 16 – Commitments and
Contingencies” to the financial statements for further information.
|
| • |
Strategic review and acquisition related expenses. Management excludes
certain professional expenses that are extraordinary in nature and are unrelated to the Company’s day-to-day business operations. The nature of these expenses is primarily related to an unsolicited offer to take the Company private, a
strategic review of the Company’s operations and acquisition of Kyber.
|
| • |
Contract termination impacts. Management excludes the impact of certain
expenses that are extraordinary in nature and are unrelated to the Company’s day-to-day business operations. The nature of these expenses is primarily related to the impact of an adjustment related to the cancellation of an inbound
information contract. On September 23, 2024, the Company was informed by one of its information vendors that it was exercising the right to terminate the agreement with the Company effective September 25, 2024, based on restrictions imposed
by the supplier’s upstream licensor. As a result, the Company recorded an adjustment of $542,389, to reduce cost of revenues, during the year ended December 31, 2024, representing previously recorded charges under the contract that will not
be paid. On July 2, 2025, the Company entered into a Termination and Wind Down Agreement with the vendor providing for a reduction of fees for the period through the termination date of $175,000. As a result, the Company recorded an
adjustment of $175,000 included in cost of revenues during the year ended December 31, 2025 representing previously recorded charges under the contract that will not be paid.
|
| • |
Income tax expense. Management excludes the income tax expense from
Adjusted EBITDA (i) because management believes that the income tax expense is not directly attributable to the underlying performance of business operations and, accordingly, its exclusion assists management and investors in making
period-to-period comparisons of operating performance and (ii) to assist management and investors in making comparisons to companies with different tax attributes.
