Updated full-year revenue guidance of between $76 to $80 million and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.93 to $1.06 RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Simulations Plus, Inc. (Nasdaq: SLP) (“Simulations Plus” or the “Company”), a leading provider of cheminformatics, biosimulation, simulation-enabled performance and intelligence solutions, and medical communications to the biopharma industry, today reported financial results for its third quarter fiscal 2025, ended May 31, 2025. Third Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights (as compared to third quarter 2024) Total revenue increased 10% to $20.4 million Software revenue increased 6% to $12.6 million, representing 62% of total revenue Services revenue increased 17% to $7.7 million, representing 38% of total revenue Gross profit was $13.0 million; gross margin was 64% Net loss of $67.3 million and diluted loss per share of $3.35, reflecting a non-cash impairment charge of $77.2 million, compared to net income of $3.1 million and diluted EPS of $0.15 Adjusted EBITDA of $7.4 million, representing 37% of total revenue, compared to $5.6 million, representing 30% of total revenue Adjusted net income of $9.0 million and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.45 compared to adjusted net income of $5.6 million and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.27 Nine Months 2025 Financial Highlights (as compared to nine months 2024) Total revenue increased 20% to $61.7 million Software revenue increased 18% to $36.8 million, representing 60% of total revenue Services revenue increased 23% to $24.9 million, representing 40% of total revenue Gross profit was $36.4 million; gross margin was 59% Net loss of $64.0 million and diluted loss per share of $3.19, reflecting a non-cash impairment charge of $77.2 million versus net income of $9.1 million and diluted EPS of $0.45 Adjusted EBITDA of $18.5 million, representing 30% of total revenue, compared to $16.1 million, representing 31% of total revenue Adjusted net income of $18.7 million and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.93, compared to adjusted net income of $15.7 million and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.77 Management Commentary “In the third quarter, our revenue grew by 10% in line with our preliminary revenue,” said Shawn O’Connor, Chief Executive Officer of Simulations Plus. “Our software revenue continued to perform well, increasing 6%, mainly driven by our ADMET Predictor® software and modest growth in our GastroPlus® and MonolixSuiteTM software, partially offset by a decline in our QSP/QST biosimulations software. “Services revenue for the third fiscal quarter grew by 17%, primarily driven by solid performance in our Medical Communications services. However, we experienced a decline in other service areas, largely due to cautious spending behavior, project delays and a cancellation from our BioPharma clients. While the sales pipeline remains robust with healthy client interest, the pace of contractual commitments slowed, impacting third quarter 2025 bookings. “We also recognized a one-time non-cash impairment charge of $77.2 million this quarter. This charge was based on a valuation assessment we made and aligns the book value of our assets to their current market value. It also reflects our commitment to transparency as we streamline our operating structure for greater efficiency and impact. “During the quarter, we also implemented a strategic reorganization, transitioning from a business unit structure to a functionally-driven operating model. This marked the final phase of a multi-year transformation to streamline operations, unlock synergies across teams, and concentrate our resources on the most promising growth opportunities. Additionally, we identified efficiencies in our cost structure that resulted in right-sizing our staffing levels and better aligning our services capacity to match current client needs. “Despite the current macroeconomic environment, our team remains focused on innovation, and we are rolling out a series of new AI-driven initiatives across our product lines. By applying advanced technologies like AI to drive innovation and growth, we believe these new and eagerly anticipated solutions will expand our value proposition and give us a distinct competitive advantage in the biosimulation market. This strategy not only enriches our product ecosystem but also positions Simulations Plus for sustained growth and further solidifies our leadership in model-informed drug development solutions,” concluded O’Connor.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures This press release contains “non-GAAP financial measures,” which are measures that either exclude or include amounts that are not excluded or included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). A further explanation and reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures is included below and in the financial tables in this release. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented facilitate an understanding of operating performance and provide a meaningful comparison of its results between periods. The Company’s management uses non-GAAP financial measures to, among other things, evaluate its ongoing operations in relation to historical results, for internal planning and forecasting purposes and in the calculation of performance-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS represent measures that we believe are customarily used by investors and analysts to evaluate the financial performance of companies in addition to the GAAP measures that we present. Our management also believes that these measures are useful in evaluating our core operating results. However, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS are not measures of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating income, or diluted EPS as indicators of our operating performance or to net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. We believe the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS measures provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other peer companies in our industry, but other companies may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently, particularly related to nonrecurring, unusual items. Please note that the Company has not reconciled the adjusted EBITDA or adjusted diluted earnings per share forward-looking guidance included in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP measures because this cannot be done without unreasonable effort due to the variability and low visibility with respect to costs related to acquisitions, financings, and employee stock compensation programs, which are potential adjustments to future earnings. We expect the variability of these items to have a potentially unpredictable, and a potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results. Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA represents net income excluding the effect of interest expense (income), provision (benefit) for income taxes, amortization expense, intangible asset amortization, equity-based compensation expense, loss (gain) on currency exchange, goodwill impairment, change in fair value of contingent consideration, reorganization expense, acquisition and integration expense and other items not indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share exclude the effect of amortization expense, equity-based compensation expense, loss (gain) on currency exchange, goodwill impairment, change in fair value of contingent consideration, reorganization expense, acquisition and integration expense and other items not indicative of our ongoing operating performance as well as the income tax provision adjustment for such charges. The Company excludes the above items because they are outside of the Company’s normal operations and/or, in certain cases, are difficult to forecast accurately for future.

Forward-Looking Statements Except for historical information, the matters discussed in this press release are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Words like “believe,” “will”, “can”, “believe”, “expect,” “anticipate” and similar expressions (or the negative of such terms, as well as other words or expressions referencing future events, conditions or circumstances) mean that these are our best estimates as of this writing, but there can be no assurances that expected or anticipated results or events will actually take place, so our actual future results could differ significantly from those statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: effectiveness of our new internal operational structure, our ability to maintain our competitive advantages, acceptance of new software and improved versions of our existing software by our customers, the general economics of the pharmaceutical industry, our ability to finance growth, our ability to continue to attract and retain highly qualified technical staff, market conditions, macroeconomic factors, and a sustainable market.
