$1.3 Million in Operating Expense Reductions Achieved– Operating Loss Improves 19% Year-Over-YearResilient Portfolio Performance with International Sales Despite Global Economic UncertaintiesCash Used in Operating Activities Reduced to $3.8 Million vs. $5.3 Million in the Prior Year, Reflecting Stronger Operating Discipline IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Biomerica, Inc. (NASDAQ: BMRA) today reported its financial results for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025 (Fiscal 2025). The Company reported net sales of $5.3 million, compared to $5.4 million in the prior year. Revenue was modestly lower due to global tariff-related uncertainties, which caused certain international customers to delay orders, and a shift in product mix with fewer over-the-counter (OTC) retail sales during the fourth quarter. These headwinds were partially offset with increased sales from inFoods® IBS. Gross profit for the year was $498,000, versus $611,000 in the prior year, reflecting the impact of the macro-economic events on revenue and product mix. Cash used in operating activities improved significantly to $3.8 million, compared to $5.3 million in the prior year, a $1.5 million improvement driven by operating efficiencies and disciplined expense management. Through disciplined cost management, Biomerica reduced selling, general and administrative expenses to $4.6 million, compared to $5.5 million in the prior year and reduced research and development expenses to $1.0 million, compared to $1.5 million in the prior year. In total, operating expenses declined by more than $1.3 million, delivering on the cost-reduction goals announced at the beginning of the fiscal year. As a result, operating loss improved to $5.1 million, compared to $6.4 million in the prior year – a 19% year-over-year improvement, despite revenue headwinds.

IVDR Certification: The Company achieved EU IVDR certification for its food-intolerance diagnostic tests targeting Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, supporting future European commercialization. MENA Expansion: Following the year-end, the United Arab Emirates Ministry of Health and Prevention approved Biomerica’s Fortel® PSA rapid screening test, expanding the Company’s footprint in the Middle East.

About inFoods® The inFoods® IBS test involves a simple blood collection procedure and is designed to assess a patient’s above normal immunoreactivity to specific foods. Instead of difficult to manage broad dietary restrictions, physicians can now use the inFoods® IBS information to make targeted, patient-specific recommendations about specific foods that, when removed from the diet, may alleviate IBS symptoms such as pain, bloating, diarrhea and constipation. Further information about Biomerica’s patented inFoods® Technology Platform can be found at: https://biomerica.com/inFoods/our-technology/. The inFoods® IBS clinical study was performed at several prominent centers including Mayo Clinic, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Inc. - a Harvard Medical School Teaching Hospital, Houston Methodist Hospital, and the University of Michigan. The clinical results for improvement in the Abdominal Pain Intensity (API) responder endpoint of >30%, for IBS patients in the treatment diet arm had a statistically significant improvement over patients in the placebo diet arm (p-value of 0.0246). The improvement for patients in the treatment arm versus the placebo arm is considered clinically significant and is similar and, in some cases, better than the current drugs in the market.
