Improved Capital Structure Reflected in Cash of $14.1 Million
Continued work on planned De Novo submission to the FDA in the first half of 2025
DALLAS, May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Spectral AI, Inc. (Nasdaq: MDAI) (“Spectral AI” or the “Company”), an artificial intelligence (AI) company focused on medical diagnostics for faster and more accurate treatment decisions in wound care, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025 and provided an update on its ongoing business activities.
“During the first quarter we continued to execute against our strategic plan and are working hard towards our De Novo submission to the FDA by the end of the first half of 2025,” said Dr. J. Michael DiMaio, M.D., the Company’s Chairman of the Board. “We made important strides in the validation of the diagnostic results of our DeepView™ System for burn indication through the completion of our Burn Validation Study in March, 2025. The goal of the Burn Validation Study was to further demonstrate the innovative and versatile nature of Spectral AI’s DeepView technology, as well as its ability to predict burn wound healing potential on the first day of injury with greater performance and speed than the methods currently used today. With the rigorous statistical analysis support, the DeepView System continues to outperform the clinical judgment of burn physicians by a large margin.”
Dr. DiMaio concluded, “I am pleased with the operating results through the first quarter of 2025 and our team remains dedicated as we continue to drive towards our FDA De Novo submission by the end of the first half of 2025; and I’m proud of the work of our team to realize this significant milestone in the Company’s history.”

Clinical Trials
The Burn Validation Study which concluded in March 2025, represented one of the largest burn trials ever conducted in the United States. The Company enrolled and analyzed data obtained from 164 total patients comprised of 115 adult and 49 pediatric patients in burn centers and emergency departments across the United States.
Corporate
The Company satisfied all of its outstanding obligations relating to its SEPA (defined below) in February 2025.
The Company completed a debt financing agreement of up to $15.0 million from Avenue Capital Group, with an initial draw down of $8.5 million in March 2025. In connection with this debt financing, the Company also raised $2.7 million of equity financing from institutional and other new and existing investors. The capital raise provides significant support to Spectral AI’s product commercialization efforts, including the upcoming U.S. launch of its DeepView System.
Q1 2025 FINANCIAL RESULTS OVERVIEW
All comparisons are to the first quarter ended March 31, 2024 (“Q1 2024”) unless otherwise stated.
Research & Development Revenue¹
Research & Development Revenue for Q1 2025 rose 6.0% to $6.7 million from $6.3 million, reflecting an increased level of activity under the Company’s contract with BARDA (the “BARDA PBS Contract”).
Gross Margin
Gross margin for Q1 2025 improved to 47.2% from 46.6%, due to a slightly higher concentration of direct labor as a component of reimbursement under the BARDA PBS Contract as compared to the first quarter of 2024.
General & Administrative Expense
General & administrative expenses in Q1 2025 were reduced to $4.1 million from $5.1 million reflecting a directed focus on work by the Company on the BARDA PBS Contract.
Other Income/(Expense)
Other income/(expense) in Q1 2025 increased $4.9 million from $(1.0) million primarily relating to the Company recording a decrease in the fair value of its warrant liability of $4.4 million in Q1 2025. In addition, transaction costs were $0 as compared to $(0.8) million for the first quarter of 2024, which related to the Company’s previously announced financing agreements (see “Financial Condition” section below).
Net Income/(Loss)
The Company reported net income for Q1 2025 of $2.9 million, compared to a net loss of $(3.2) million, primarily due to the change in the fair value of the Company’s warrant liability.
Financial Condition
As of March 31, 2025, cash improved to $14.1 million from $5.2 million at December 31, 2024.
As noted above, the Company completed a debt financing agreement of up to $15.0 million from Avenue Capital Group, with an initial draw down of $8.5 million in March 2025 and also raised approximately $2.7 million of equity financing from institutional and other new and existing investors as part of that transaction.
Additionally, the Company satisfied the remaining payment obligations of its fixed price standby equity purchase agreement (“SEPA”) with a long-only investor in February, 2025.
2025 Guidance
The Company reiterates its revenue guidance of approximately $21.5 million for FY 2025. Financial guidance for FY 2025 does not reflect contributions from the sale of the DeepView™ System for the burn indication or any additional material financial contributions that may result from the commercialization of our DeepView™ System.
