Business Highlights
“2025 was a pivotal year in which we delivered robust procedure-volume growth, positive operating cashflow and successfully navigated temporary headwinds to stabilize the HEPZATO revenue base in the fourth quarter,” said Gerard Michel, President and Chief Executive Officer of Delcath “With 28 active treatment centers now delivering therapy and compelling CHOPIN data demonstrating clear clinical benefit when PHP is sequenced with checkpoint inhibitors, we enter 2026 with strong momentum.

2026 Full Year Financial Guidance
The Company’s financial outlook for fiscal year 2026:
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Results
Total revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 was $20.7 million compared to $15.1 million for the same period in the prior year. Revenue in the quarter includes sales of $19.0 million of HEPZATO in the U.S. and $1.7 million of CHEMOSAT in Europe.
Total revenue for the year-ended December 31, 2025 was $85.2 million compared to $37.2 million for the same period in the prior year. Revenue in 2025 includes sales of $78.8 million of HEPZATO in the U.S. and $6.4 million of CHEMOSAT in Europe.
Research and development expenses for the quarter and year-ended December 31, 2025, were $9.4 million and $29.2 million, respectively compared to $2.9 million and $13.9 million for the same periods in the prior year. The increase is primarily due to costs associated with expanding the clinical team including share-based compensation expense related to an increase in headcount and initiation of the Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating HEPZATO in combination with standard of care for mCRC and mBC. In 2024, these costs are primarily related to medical affairs and regulatory costs associated with the approved products.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter and year-ended December 31, 2025, were $10.5 million and $43.5 million, respectively compared to $7.0 million and $29.6 million for the same periods in the prior year. The increase is primarily due to continued commercial expansion activities including marketing-related expenses and additional personnel on the commercial team. In addition, the increase in personnel along with higher grant date exercise prices has increased the share-based compensation expense.
Net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 was $1.9 million and net income for the full year was $2.7 million, compared to net loss of $3.4 million and $26.4 million for the same periods in the prior year.
Non-GAAP positive adjusted EBITDA for the quarter and year-ended December 31, 2025 was $2.4 million and $25.1 million compared to adjusted EBITDA gain of $4.6 million and loss of $2.5 million for the same periods in the prior year. A table reconciling non-GAAP measures is included in this press release for reference.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $91.0 million in cash and investments, and no debt.

GAAP v. Non-GAAP Measures
Delcath’s reported earnings are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, and represent earnings as reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Delcath has provided in this release certain financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Delcath’s management believes that the non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA described in this release, which includes adjustments for specific items that are generally not indicative of our core operations, provides additional information that is useful to investors in understanding Delcath’s underlying performance, business and performance trends, and helps facilitate period-to-period comparisons and comparisons of its financial measures with other companies in Delcath’s industry. However, the non-GAAP financial measures that Delcath uses may differ from measures that other companies may use. Non-GAAP financial measures are not required to be uniformly applied, are not audited and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
About Delcath Systems, Inc., HEPZATO KIT and CHEMOSAT
Delcath Systems, Inc. is an interventional oncology company focused on the treatment of primary and metastatic liver cancers. The company's proprietary products, HEPZATO KIT (HEPZATO (melphalan) for Injection/Hepatic Delivery System) and CHEMOSAT Hepatic Delivery System (HDS) for Melphalan percutaneous hepatic perfusion (PHP), are designed to administer high-dose chemotherapy to the liver while controlling systemic exposure and associated side effects during a PHP procedure.
In the United States, HEPZATO KIT is considered a combination drug and device product and is regulated and approved for sale as a drug by the FDA. HEPZATO KIT is comprised of the chemotherapeutic drug melphalan and Delcath’s proprietary HDS. The HDS is used to isolate the hepatic venous blood from the systemic circulation while simultaneously filtrating hepatic venous blood during melphalan infusion and washout. The use of the HDS results in loco-regional delivery of a relatively high melphalan dose, which can potentially induce a clinically meaningful tumor response with minimal hepatotoxicity and reduce systemic exposure. HEPZATO KIT is approved in the United States as a liver-directed treatment for adult patients with metastatic uveal melanoma (mUM) with unresectable hepatic metastases affecting less than 50% of the liver and no extrahepatic disease, or extrahepatic disease limited to the bone, lymph nodes, subcutaneous tissues, or lung that is amenable to resection or radiation. Please see the full Prescribing Information, including BOXED WARNING for the HEPZATO KIT.
In Europe, the device-only configuration of the HDS is regulated as a Class III medical device and is approved for sale under the trade name CHEMOSAT Hepatic Delivery System for Melphalan, or CHEMOSAT, where it has been used in the conduct of percutaneous hepatic perfusion procedures at major medical centers to treat a wide range of cancers of the liver.
Safe Harbor / Forward-Looking Statements
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by the Company or on its behalf. This press release contains forward-looking statements, including the Company’s statements regarding the possible synergy seen in the successful Phase 2 CHOPIN Trial being transferable to clinical practice; Company’s 2026 financial outlook, which are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, that can cause actual results to differ materially from those described.

For additional information about these factors, and others that may impact the Company, please see the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those on Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K.
