Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results
In light of the divestiture of the bioprocessing product portfolio in March 2025, all financial results discussed in this release for current and prior periods are for continuing operations only.
Revenue was $17.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, a 21% increase over the prior year period, largely driven by an increase in FTIR product revenue. OEM and funded partnership revenue was $1.0 million, compared to $0.7 million in the prior year period. The installed base grew 24% year-over-year to 3,736 devices, with 224 devices placed during the fourth quarter. Recurring revenue represented 32% of total revenues in the quarter.
Gross profit was $9.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $6.7 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. GAAP gross margin was 53% as compared to 47% for the corresponding prior year period. Adjusted gross profit was $10.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $7.5 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. Adjusted gross margin was 57%, as compared to 52% for the corresponding prior year period. The increase in adjusted gross margin percentage was primarily driven by higher product revenues, including a shift in channel mix, along with an improvement in service gross margins.
Operating expenses were $6.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $23.4 million for the corresponding prior year period. The decrease of $17.3 million includes a $2.0 million reduction of operating expenses related to research and development and selling, general, and administrative costs, a noncash decrease of $10.1 million related to an impairment of goodwill, and a noncash decrease of $5.2 million related to a change in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability.
Net income from continuing operations was $4.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $16.0 million for the corresponding prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA was positive $0.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to a loss of $4.0 million for the corresponding period in the prior year.
Net income attributable to common stockholders was $4.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to a net loss of $19.4 million for the corresponding prior year period.
Full Year 2025 Financial Results
Revenue was $56.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, an 18% increase over the prior year period, largely driven by an increase in FTIR product revenue and the impact of ownership for the full period in 2025 compared to eight months in 2024. OEM and funded partnership revenue was $3.0 million, compared to $1.6 million in the prior year period. Recurring revenue represented 35% of total 2025 revenues, compared to 33% in 2024.
Gross profit was $28.4 million for 2025, compared to $24.5 million for the corresponding prior year period. GAAP gross margin was 51% as compared to 51% for the corresponding prior year period. Adjusted gross profit was $31.9 million for 2025, compared to $26.7 million for the corresponding prior year period. Adjusted gross margin was 57%, an increase of approximately 90 basis points compared to the corresponding prior year period. The increase in Adjusted gross margin percentage was primarily driven by improved service gross margins from leverage of fixed costs and insourcing of training obligations.
Operating expenses were $67.8 million for 2025, compared to $81.9 million for the corresponding prior year period. This decrease was driven by the $40.7 million charge for an impairment of goodwill in 2024, offset in part by a $27.0 million change in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability where it was a charge in 2025 and a credit in 2024.
Net loss from continuing operations was $33.3 million for 2025, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $53.1 million for the corresponding prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $9.6 million for 2025, compared to a loss of $15.6 million for the corresponding period in the prior year.
Net income attributable to common stockholders was $19.5 million for 2025, compared to a net loss of $72.2 million for the corresponding prior year period.
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $113.0 million as of December 31, 2025, with no debt outstanding.
2026 Guidance
908 Devices expects full year 2026 revenues to be in the range of $64.5 million to $67.5 million, representing 15% to 20% growth compared to 2025 revenue from continuing operations.

Non-GAAP Measures of Financial Performance
To supplement the Company’s financial statements, which are presented on the basis of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the following non-GAAP measures of financial performance are included in this release and presented with detailed reconciliations to comparable GAAP financial results in the tables below:
The Company’s non-GAAP financial results presented in this earnings release exclude certain costs that management believes do not have a direct correlation to future business operations, nor do the resulting charges recorded accurately reflect the performance of ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are recorded, nor do the resulting charges recorded accurately reflect the anticipated cash flows of ongoing operations, and as such, excluding these costs allows management to understand and evaluate core operating performance and trends. However, as there are no standardized methods of calculating these non-GAAP financial measures, the Company’s methods may differ from those used by other companies in its industry, and accordingly, the use of these measures may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by others, thus limiting their usefulness for purposes of comparison. Furthermore, these non-GAAP measures have certain limitations since they do not include the impact of certain expenses and cash flows that are reflected in the Company’s GAAP financial results. Accordingly, when analyzing the Company’s operating performance and guidance, investors should not consider non-GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Rather, the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed in addition to and not in lieu of reported GAAP financial results, provide investors with additional meaningful information to assess financial performance and trends, enable comparison of financial results between periods, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics utilized internally in analyzing and operating the Company’s business.
Forward Looking Statements
This press release includes “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical facts are forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements regarding the Company’s future revenue and growth. Words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend” and similar expressions (as well as other words or expressions referencing future events, conditions or circumstances) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions which may cause actual results to differ materially from any results expressed or implied by any forward-looking statement, including the risks outlined under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) which are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Additional information will be made available in our annual and quarterly reports and other filings that we make from time to time with the SEC. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in its forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot guarantee future results. The Company has no obligation, and does not undertake any obligation, to update or revise any forward-looking statement made in this press release to reflect changes since the date of this press release, except as may be required by law.
