\nCerus Corporation (Nasdaq: CERS) today announced preliminary product revenue for the fourth quarter and full-year 2025, as well as provided 2026 product revenue guidance and select milestones for 2026.<\/p>\n
\n\u201c2025 was a remarkable year for Cerus, as patient access to INTERCEPT treated blood components increased meaningfully around the world,\u201d said William \u201cObi\u201d Greenman, Cerus\u2019 president and chief executive officer. \u201cDuring 2025, based on the number of kits sold, we helped our blood center customers produce approximately 3 million INTERCEPT treated blood component doses for patients in about 40 countries worldwide. We remain focused on supporting blood centers around the globe in their daily mission to ensure robust blood safety and availability. We expect 2026 to be a year rich in milestones for Cerus, as we continue to expand our commercial reach, advance our product development pipeline and continue improving Cerus\u2019 financial performance and position.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nPreliminary Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2025 Financial Results & 2026 Outlook<\/p>\n
- \n
- \nPreliminary fourth quarter 2025 product revenue totaled $57.8 million representing an increase of 14% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. Included in these results, preliminary product revenue results from INTERCEPT Fibrinogen Complex, or IFC, were $4.2 million, representing a year-over-year increase of around 40%.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \nPreliminary full-year 2025 product revenue totaled $206.1 million, representing an increase of 14% over 2024 results. Included in the full-year 2025 preliminary product revenue results were $16.7 million contribution from IFC, representing a year-over-year increase of approximately 80%. The preliminary fourth quarter and full-year 2025 product revenue results have not been audited and are therefore subject to change.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \nLooking ahead, the Company expects full-year 2026 product revenue to be in the range of $224 million to $228 million, representing year-over-year growth of 9%-11% compared to preliminary unaudited 2025 product revenue. Included in the 2026 guidance range is expected full-year 2026 IFC revenue of $20 million to $22 million, representing year-over-year growth of approximately 20% to 30% from 2025.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Forward-Looking Statements<\/b><\/p>\n
\nExcept for the historical statements contained herein, this press release contains forward-looking statements concerning Cerus\u2019 products, prospects and expected results, including statements relating to: Cerus\u2019 preliminary fourth quarter and full-year 2025 product revenue; Cerus\u2019 2026 annual product revenue guidance; Cerus\u2019 expectation that, in 2026, it will continue to expand its commercial reach, advance its product development pipeline and continue improving its financial performance and position; Cerus\u2019 expectations with respect to the timing of its PMA application submission to the FDA for INT200 and results from the Phase 3 RedeS study of the INTERCEPT Blood System for RBCs in anemia patients; and other statements that are not historical facts. Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, without limitation: the risks that Cerus may not (a) meet its 2026 annual product revenue guidance, (b) effectively continue to launch and commercialize the INTERCEPT Blood System for Cryoprecipitation, (c) grow sales globally, including in its U.S. and European markets, and\/or realize expected revenue contribution resulting from its U.S. and European market agreements, (d) realize meaningful and\/or increasing revenue contributions from U.S. customers in the near term or at all, particularly since Cerus cannot guarantee the volume or timing of commercial purchases, if any, that its U.S. customers may make under Cerus\u2019 commercial agreements with these customers, (e) effectively expand its commercialization activities into additional geographies and\/or (f) realize any revenue contribution from new product offerings, whether due to Cerus\u2019 inability to obtain regulatory approval of its pipeline programs, or otherwise; the risk that the U.S. RedeS study may take longer than Cerus expects or may not be completed at all or, if completed, may not demonstrate the safety and\/or efficacy of the INTERCEPT Blood System for RBCs; risks associated with macroeconomic developments, including ongoing military conflict in Ukraine, new or increased tariffs and escalating trade tensions and the resulting global economic and financial disruptions, and the current and potential future negative impacts to Cerus\u2019 business operations; risks related to Cerus\u2019 ability to demonstrate to the transfusion medicine community and other health care constituencies that pathogen reduction and the INTERCEPT Blood System is safe, effective and economical; risks related to the uncertain and time-consuming development and regulatory process, including the risk that Cerus may be unable to obtain and maintain the requisite regulatory approvals necessary to commercialize the INT200 and\/or advance its pipeline programs and bring them to market in a timely manner or at all, including the risk that Cerus\u2019 PMA application for INT200 may not be submitted to the FDA on the timeline Cerus anticipates or at all; risks related to product safety; risks related to adverse market and economic conditions, including continued or more severe adverse fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and\/or continued or more severe weakening in economic conditions resulting from military conflicts, rising interest rates, inflation, new or increased tariffs and escalating trade tensions or otherwise in the markets where Cerus currently sells and is anticipated to sell its products; Cerus\u2019 reliance on third parties to market, sell, distribute and maintain its products; risks associated with Cerus\u2019 ability to maintain an effective, secure manufacturing supply chain, including the risks that (a) Cerus\u2019 supply chain could be negatively impacted as a result of the evolving impact of macroeconomic developments, including the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine, rising interest rates, inflation, and new or increased tariffs and escalating trade tensions, (b) Cerus\u2019 manufacturers could be unable to comply with extensive regulatory agency requirements, and (c) Cerus may be unable to maintain its supply agreements with its third party suppliers; risks associated with Cerus\u2019 need for additional funding; risks associated with the impact of legislative or regulatory healthcare reforms that may make it more difficult and costly for Cerus to produce, market and distribute its products; risks related to future opportunities and plans, including the uncertainty of Cerus\u2019 future capital requirements and its future revenues and other financial performance and results, including as it relates to Cerus\u2019 2026 annual product revenue guidance; as well as other risks detailed in Cerus\u2019 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including under the heading \u201cRisk Factors\u201d in Cerus\u2019 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, filed with the SEC on November 6, 2025. Cerus disclaims any obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this press release.<\/p>\n
\nThis press release includes Cerus\u2019 preliminary product revenue results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025. Cerus is currently in the process of finalizing its full financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025, and the preliminary product revenue results presented in this press release are based only upon preliminary information available to Cerus as of January 11, 2026. Cerus\u2019 preliminary product revenue results should not be viewed as a substitute for full audited financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and undue reliance should not be placed on Cerus\u2019 preliminary product revenue results. In addition, Cerus\u2019 independent registered public accounting firm has not audited or reviewed the preliminary product revenue results included in this press release or expressed any opinion or other form of assurance on such preliminary product revenue results. In addition, items or events may be identified or occur after the date hereof due to the completion of operational and financial closing procedures, final audit adjustments and other developments may arise that would require Cerus to make material adjustments to the preliminary product revenue results included in this press release. Therefore, the preliminary product revenue results included in this press release may differ, perhaps materially, from the product revenue results that will be reflected in Cerus\u2019 audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.<\/p>\n
