Full year 2025 revenue of $22.5 million, impacted by policy-driven slowdown in Mainland China

Advancing global expansion with appointment of seasoned commercial leader, Mark Saxton, as CEO of Baird Medical U.S. to lead commercial ramp in the United States

NEW YORK, April 29th, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Baird Medical Investment Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ: BDMD) (“Baird Medical” or the “Company”), a market leader in minimally invasive Microwave Ablation (MWA) technology, today announced its financial results for the full year ended December 31, 2025 and provided an update on key strategic and operational initiatives.

“2025 was an important period in Baird’s evolution as we began executing on our strategy to become a global, innovation-driven med tech organization,” said Mrs. Haimei Wu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Baird Medical. “The commercial environment in Mainland China was particularly challenging in light of recent policy changes, which has made our efforts to broaden the Company’s geographic footprint of great importance. To that end, we reached an important milestone in the fourth quarter with the appointment of Mark Saxton as the CEO of Baird U.S. to lead our commercial ramp in this key market. Mark has built a sterling reputation over the last 25 years at companies including NeuroPace, Covidien and Smith + Nephew, launching a broad range of innovative technology solutions and growing them into market leaders. We have great confidence in the potential of our technology to thrive in the U.S. under Mark’s leadership.”

"Our Microwave Ablation (MWA) technology offers patients a truly minimally invasive alternative that delivers excellent patient outcomes and reduces the uncertainty associated with watchful waiting. My early conversations with U.S. surgeons have been deeply encouraging and have only strengthened my conviction that there is a real, unmet need for novel solutions like MWA to address the needs of these patients," said Mark Saxton, Chief Executive Officer of Baird Medical U.S. "In 2026, we are laying the commercial foundation for sustainable long-term growth in the U.S., building the team, infrastructure, and market awareness that this technology deserves. In parallel, Baird is investing in the further advancement of our MWA platform, with the goal of expanding our portfolio and broadening the addressable market over time. We look forward to sharing progress as these initiatives take shape."

Fourth quarter 2025 and Recent Operational Highlights:

– In December 2025, the Company announced the appointment of med tech industry veteran Mark Saxton as Chief Executive Officer of its U.S. subsidiary. Mr. Saxton, a seasoned commercial leader with more than 25 years of experience, will oversee all U.S. operations, including sales, marketing and market development as the Company accelerates its commercial activities, in-line with its geographic expansion and diversification strategy.

– Through a partnership with California-based MPS Medical, Baird established a North American production hub designed to optimize manufacturing and further support the planned commercial expansion in the U.S. [and other Western markets].

– The Company maintained an active presence at key medical congresses throughout the fourth quarter of 2025 and into the first quarter of 2026, including the North American Society of Interventional Thyroidology (NASIT) 2026 Annual Meeting and the North American Society of Interventional Endocrinology (NASOIE) Annual Meeting. These meetings, which are attended by leading clinicians and researchers, play an important role in building awareness of Baird’s minimally invasive MWA technology, and the ongoing physician education efforts help to reinforce the value of its technology as a safe and effective alternative to traditional surgery.

Full Year 2025 Financial Results

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $22.5 million, a decrease of 39.2% compared to $37.0 million in 2024. The decline was primarily driven by policy-driven market dynamics in Mainland China, including pricing pressure and reduced procurement activity, which resulted in lower sales of the Company’s microwave ablation (MWA) devices, partially offset by growth in other regions.

Revenue from direct customers decreased from $19.8 million in 2024 to $4.1 million in 2025, primarily due to lower sales volume and reduced selling prices in Mainland China. Sales of MWA needles declined due to decreased volume, while sales of microwave therapeutic apparatuses were impacted by both lower pricing and volume. Recognizing the macro-level dynamics impacting the Company’s business in Mainland China, Baird has accelerated its geographic expansion strategy, leveraging its platform to drive growth in the U.S. and other key strategic markets.

Revenue from distributors increased from $17.2 million in 2024 to $18.4 million in 2025, driven primarily by higher selling prices, partially offset by changes in sales volume. Distributor revenue was particularly strong in Hong Kong, as the Company’s distribution partner in the region began selling to physicians in a number of new territories including Egypt, Turkey and the UAE.

Cost of revenues for 2025 was $3.7 million, compared to $4.4 million in 2024. Cost of revenues primarily consists of direct material costs, staff costs, production overhead, distribution costs, and third-party medical device sourcing.

Gross profit for 2025 was $18.9 million, compared to $32.7 million in 2024. Gross margin was 83.8% in 2025, compared to 88.2% in 2024.

Total operating expenses for 2025 were $44.5 million, compared to $17.3 million in 2024. The increase was driven by higher selling and marketing, general and administrative, and research and development expenses as the Company continued to invest in commercial expansion and product innovation.

Selling, General and Administrative expenses increased to $24.4 million in 2025, up from $11.2 million in 2024. This increase was attributable to one-time share-based compensation awards totaling $17.5 million, which are recognized as a non-cash expense.

Research and Development Expenses increased to $20.1 million, from $6.2 million in 2024. The increase in R&D expense was primarily attributable to investment in product advancement, including both new hardware and software-based technologies and enhancements to the current MWA platform, as well as clinical and regulatory activities aimed at securing additional marketing approvals and further expanding the Company’s geographic footprint.

Loss from operations for 2025 was $25.6 million, compared to operating income of $15.3 million in 2024.

Net loss before income tax for 2025 was $26.4 million, compared to net income before income tax of $14.1 million in 2024, primarily reflecting lower revenues and increased operating expenses.
