Arizona Tribune - Aspira Announces Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results and Provides Business Update

September Q3 Highlights:

Aspira reported relatively flat total product revenues of $2.3 million for the third quarters of 2025 and 2024. The average unit price per test ("AUP") grew 7.0% year-over-year for the commercial product portfolio, comprised of non-invasive Ovarian cancer risk assessment diagnostics marketed as Ova1Plus™ and OvaWatch℠.

Comparative product revenue stability was achieved despite the significant reset of Aspira's business model and market strategies beginning in the first quarter of 2025, with continuing substantial changes well into the third quarter of 2025. In this comprehensive re-focus of our strategy, commercial model, and resources, Aspira heavily emphasizes relationships with leading large scale health care systems as well as Integrated Delivery Networks (IDN's). In the third quarter, this strategy was highlighted by the implementation of OvaSuite™ in a world-renowned IDN to assist in refining Ovarian cancer risk assessment of O-RADS 4 patients, a relatively high-risk patient population. This IDN implemented OvaSuite™ in patient care protocols to better identify the low-risk patients within this higher-risk cohort that don't need further imaging services or referral to a gynecologic oncologist, thereby saving critical health system resources and costs.

The Company has also made an important shift in focus towards growing profitable revenue instead of only focusing on growing specimen volume. This focus includes a compensation shift starting in the third quarter that incentivizes profitable revenue growth instead of volume growth at any price plan. This shift towards focusing on high reimbursement markets and profitable revenue is being accomplished through an investment in claims data tools that allows the field sales team to better identify profitable business and thought-leading provider champions. The implementation of this strategy will continue in the fourth quarter and into 2026.

In addition to the shift in commercial focus, the Company is putting major emphasis on revenue from ongoing testing volumes. This includes evaluation of payer contracts, billing practices and patient collection efforts. These initiatives continue to drive AUP and our focus on maximizing revenue on specimens being performed by the lab today. The Company's management team believes these steps will continue to improve the Company's go-forward efficiency, underlying operating performance, and long-term profitability.

Key financial highlights for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 are summarized below:

• Improved Balance Sheet: The Company reported $4.2 million in current liabilities, of which $3.8 million was trade payables or accrued liabilities as of September 30, 2025. This represents $1.3 million, or a 23.2% decrease from the $5.5 million in current liabilities reported as of December 31, 2024. The reduction was principally the result of a $0.3 million decrease in payables and a $0.5 million decrease in accrued liabilities, which was primarily related to payroll and benefits and a one-time reduction in accruals.

"Our focus in the third quarter of 2025 was on executing the next phase of our commercial transformation - translating prior efficiency gains into sustained growth and margin expansion," said Mike Buhle, Chief Executive Officer of Aspira. "Through September 30, 2025, we continued to advance our financial performance, achieving a 5.7% year-over-year increase in gross profit margin, supported by higher sales productivity and disciplined expense management. These results underscore the strength of our evolving operating model and the tangible impact of the strategic initiatives implemented earlier this year."

"At the same time, we are maintaining strong momentum in research and development, particularly with ENDOinform™," continued Mr. Buhle. "Our teams are progressing toward critical milestones, and we expect to share meaningful updates as we move closer to commercial readiness."

"The Board is encouraged by the continued operational discipline and innovation the team is executing," added Jack Fraser, Chairman of the Board. "Aspira is entering an exciting phase marked by growing engagement with major health care provider networks and the advancement of new promising diagnostics in ovarian cancer and endometriosis."

About Aspira Women's Health Inc.

Aspira Women's Health Inc. is dedicated to the discovery, development, and commercialization of noninvasive, AI-powered tests to aid in the diagnosis of gynecologic diseases. OvaWatch^® and Ova1Plus^® are offered to clinicians as OvaSuite ^℠ . Together, they provide the only comprehensive portfolio of blood tests to aid in the detection of ovarian cancer risk for the 1.2+ million American women diagnosed with an adnexal mass each year.

OvaWatch^® provides a negative predictive value of 99% and is used to assess ovarian cancer risk for women where initial clinical assessment indicates the mass is indeterminate or benign, and thus surgery may be premature or unnecessary. Ova1Plus^® is a reflex process of two FDA-cleared tests, Ova1^® and Overa^®, to assess the risk of ovarian malignancy in women with an adnexal mass planned for surgery.     

Our in-development test pipeline will expand our ovarian cancer portfolio and address the tremendous need for non-invasive diagnostics for endometriosis, a debilitating disease that impacts millions of women worldwide. In ovarian cancer, we intend to combine microRNA and protein biomarkers with patient data to further enhance the sensitivity and specificity of our current tests. In endometriosis, we have developed the first-ever non-invasive test designed to identify endometriomas, one of the most commonly occurring forms of severe endometriosis. Through our ongoing endometriosis development program, we are combining microRNA and protein biomarkers with patient data, with the intent of identifying all endometriosis independent of disease location or severity.
