SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / May 15, 2025 / Jaguar Health, Inc.(NASDAQ:JAGX) ("Jaguar" or the "Company") today reported its consolidated first-quarter 2025 financial results.
2025 FIRST QUARTER COMPANY FINANCIAL RESULTS:
Net Prescription Products Revenue: The combined net revenue for the Company's prescription products (Mytesi®, Gelclair®, and Canalevia®-CA1) was approximately $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of approximately 37% over the combined net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2024, which totaled approximately $3.5 million, and a decrease of approximately 6% over the combined net revenue for the first quarter of 2024, which totaled approximately $2.4 million.
Mytesi Prescription Volume: Mytesi prescription volume increased by approximately 1.8% in the first quarter of 2025 over the first quarter of 2024 and decreased by approximately 13.5% in the first quarter of 2025 over the fourth quarter of 2024. Prescription volume differs from invoiced sales volume, which reflects, among other factors, varying buying patterns among specialty pharmacies in the closed network as they manage their inventory levels.
License Revenue: For the first quarter of 2025, the Company recognized license fees of $42,500 from a securities purchase agreement with a European partner, which was supported by a binding term sheet. This amount was consistently recorded in the fourth quarter of 2024 and none in the first quarter of 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the total deferred revenue associated with this contract amounts to approximately $0.7 million.
Neonorm™: Revenues for the non-prescription Neonorm products were minimal for the first quarters of 2025 and 2024.

Research and Development: The R&D expense decreased by $0.6 million, from $4.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 compared to $3.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to the conclusion of the Phase 3 OnTarget clinical trial, which reduced trial-related contract manufacturing services and regulatory activities.
Sales and Marketing: The Sales and Marketing expense increased by approximately $1.1 million, from $1.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 to $2.5 million during the same quarter in 2025.

General and Administrative: The G&A expense increased by approximately $0.5 million, from $4.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 to $4.9 million during the same quarter in 2025, largely due to increased legal expenses.

Interest expense decreased by approximately $0.7 million, from $0.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, to approximately $56,000 income for the same period in 2025, primarily due to changing the accounting of certain debt instruments designated at Fair Value Option (FVO).

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Measures
The Company supplements its condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis by providing non-GAAP EBITDA and non-GAAP recurring EBITDA, which are considered non-GAAP under applicable SEC rules. Jaguar believes that the disclosure items of these non-GAAP measures provide investors with additional information that reflects the basis upon which Company management assesses and operates the business. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed in isolation or as substitutes for GAAP net sales and GAAP net loss and are not substitutes for, or superior to, measures of financial performance in conformity with GAAP.
The Company defines non-GAAP EBITDA as net loss before interest expense and other expense, depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense and provision for or benefit from income taxes. The Company defines non-GAAP Recurring EBITDA as non-GAAP EBITDA adjusted for certain non-recurring revenues and expenses. Company management believes that non-GAAP EBITDA and non-GAAP Recurring EBITDA are meaningful indicators of Jaguar's performance and provide useful information to investors regarding the Company's results of operations and financial condition.
