SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / August 14, 2025 / Jaguar Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAGX) (“Jaguar” or the “Company”) today reported its consolidated second-quarter 2025 financial results.
2025 SECOND QUARTER COMPANY FINANCIAL RESULTS:
Net Prescription Products Revenue: The combined net revenue for the Company’s prescription products (Mytesi®, Gelclair®, and Canalevia®-CA1) was approximately $2.9 million in the second quarter of 2025, representing an increase of approximately 36% over the combined net revenue in the first quarter of 2025, which totaled approximately $2.2 million, and an increase of approximately 10% over the combined net revenue for the second quarter of 2024, which totaled approximately $2.7 million.
Mytesi Prescription Volume: Mytesi prescription volume increased by approximately 6.5% in the second quarter of 2025 over the first quarter of 2025, and Mytesi prescription volume in the second quarter of 2025 was equal to the volume in the second quarter of 2024. Prescription volume differs from invoiced sales volume, which reflects, among other factors, varying buying patterns among specialty pharmacies in the closed network as they manage their inventory levels.

Cost of Product Revenue: Total cost of product revenue increased by approximately $0.1 million, from $0.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 compared to $0.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, due to increased sales of Mytesi.
Research and Development: The R&D expense decreased by $0.4 million, from $3.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 compared to $3.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to the conclusion of the Phase 3 OnTarget clinical trial, which reduced trial-related contract manufacturing services and regulatory activities.
Sales and Marketing: The Sales and Marketing expense increased by approximately $1.0 million, from $1.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 to $2.5 million during the same quarter in 2025. The increase in expense was mostly due to headcount and promotional activities related to commercialization of Gelclair, which began in the end of 2024.
General and Administrative: The G&A expense increased by approximately $0.4 million, from $4.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 to $4.7 million during the same quarter in 2025, largely due to increased legal and compliance expenses.
Loss from Operations: Loss from operations increased by $0.8 million, from $7.2 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2024 to $8.0 million during the same period in 2025.
Net Loss: Net loss attributable to common shareholders increased by approximately $1.0 million, from $9.46 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2024 to $10.46 million in the same period in 2025. In addition to the loss from operations:
Interest expense decreased by $93,000, from $108,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 to approximately $15,000 income in the same period in 2025, primarily due to changing the accounting of certain debt instruments designated at Fair Value Option (FVO).
The fair value of financial and hybrid instrument designation at FVO decreased by $0.7 million, from a loss of $1.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024, to a loss of $1.1 million in the same period in 2025, primarily due to fair value adjustments in liability classified warrants and notes payable designated at FVO.
Non-GAAP Recurring EBITDA: Non-GAAP recurring EBITDA for the second quarters of 2025 and 2024 were a net loss of $7.9 million and $8.8 million, respectively.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Measures
The Company supplements its condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis by providing non-GAAP EBITDA and non-GAAP recurring EBITDA, which are considered non-GAAP under applicable SEC rules. Jaguar believes that the disclosure items of these non-GAAP measures provide investors with additional information that reflects the basis upon which Company management assesses and operates the business. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed in isolation or as substitutes for GAAP net sales and GAAP net loss and are not substitutes for, or superior to, measures of financial performance in conformity with GAAP.
The Company defines non-GAAP EBITDA as net loss before interest expense and other expense, depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense and provision for or benefit from income taxes. The Company defines non-GAAP Recurring EBITDA as non-GAAP EBITDA adjusted for certain non-recurring revenues and expenses. Company management believes that non-GAAP EBITDA and non-GAAP Recurring EBITDA are meaningful indicators of Jaguar’s performance and provide useful information to investors regarding the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

Company Reports Quarterly Revenue of $1.2 Million; Net Loss and Loss per Diluted Share of $2.2 Million and $2.13
Quarterly Adjusted EBITDA Loss of $1.7 Million Reflects 40% YOY Improvement
TRNR held 29.6 Million FET tokens as of June 30, 2025 and 67.4 Million FET tokens as of August 13, 2025, with a value in excess of $50 million, representing the largest publicly traded AI-focused Digital Asset Treasury
Stockholders’ Equity Was $16.3 Million at Quarter End
2025 Pro Forma Revenue Guidance Increased to more than $80 Million, driven by Sportstech’s Stronger-Than-Expected Performance, and Fourth Quarter Profitability Guidance Reiterated
AUSTIN, TEXAS / ACCESS Newswire / August 14, 2025 / Interactive Strength Inc. (Nasdaq:TRNR) (“TRNR” or the “Company”), maker of innovative specialty fitness equipment under the Wattbike, CLMBR and FORME brands, and the pending acquirer of Sportstech, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2025.
Quarterly Financial Highlights
For the quarter, TRNR reported revenue of $1.2 million, a net loss of $2.2 million – or $2.13 per diluted share – and an Adjusted EBITDA loss of approximately $1.7 million (non‑GAAP).
Results do not include Wattbike (closed July 1, 2025) or Sportstech (pending) for the period. However, if both businesses were included in the second quarter, revenue would have been approximately $17 million.
Digital Asset Treasury Strategy
TRNR also closed a very significant investment in the quarter to begin to execute its Digital Asset Treasury Strategy, and was able to acquire 29.6 million FET tokens by the end of the Q2. TRNR has since completed the cumulative purchase of 67.4 million FET tokens, at an average token price of $0.70, currently worth in excess of $50 million.
Outlook
TRNR is increasing its full‑year 2025 pro forma revenue guidance to more than $80 million, driven by Sportstech’s stronger-than-expected-performance, and by continued momentum across the TRNR + Wattbike platform. TRNR is also reiterating its guidance that it expects to achieve Adjusted EBITDA profitability in the fourth quarter.
Sportstech
The Sportstech acquisition continues to proceed and all parties are working to satisfy the remaining items to close the acquisition and look forward to being able to update investors with more specific guidance on the transaction as soon as possible.
Founder and CEO Trend Ward stated: “We believe that Q2 will be the inflection point for TRNR, as we now have the largest publicly traded AI-focused Digital Asset Treasury, comprised of 67.4 million FET tokens, worth more than $50 million, and we are increasing our 2025 pro forma revenue guidance to more than $80 million, driven by the stronger-than-expected performance of Sportstech, our pending acquisition. We closed the Wattbike acquisition right after the quarter had ended and all parties are working on completing the remaining items to close the Sportstech acquisition as soon as we can. If both acquisitions were included in the second quarter, we would have generated approximately $17 million in revenue for the quarter. We are also reiterating that we expect to be profitable in the fourth quarter. In our view, the combination of these synergistic acquisitions, along with our AI-focused Digital Asset Treasury, represents a significant opportunity for investors.”

Any updates to the list of disclosure channels through which we may announce information will be posted on the investor relations page on our website. The inclusion of our website address or the address of any third-party sites in this press release are intended as inactive textual references only.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to our results determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, we believe the following non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance.
The Company’s non-GAAP financial measure in this press release consist of Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as net (loss) income, adjusted to exclude: other expense (income), net; income tax expense (benefit); depreciation and amortization expense; stock-based compensation expense; (gain) loss on debt extinguishment; vendor settlements; and transaction related expenses.
The Company believes the above adjusted financial measures help facilitate analysis of operating performance and the operating leverage in our business. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors for period-to-period comparisons of our business and in understanding and evaluating our operating results for the following reasons:
Adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors and securities analysts to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expense, other expense (income), net, and provision for income taxes that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon their financing, capital structures, and the method by which assets were acquired;
Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget, as a measure of our core operating results and the effectiveness of our business strategy, and in evaluating our financial performance; and
Adjusted EBITDA provides consistency and comparability with our past financial performance, facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our core operating results, and may also facilitate comparisons with other peer companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results.
Our use of Adjusted EBITDA, or any other non-GAAP financial measures we may use in the future, is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered as a substitute for, or in isolation from, our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. Some of these limitations are, or may in the future be, as follows:
Although depreciation and amortization expense are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;
Adjusted EBITDA excludes stock-based compensation expense, which has recently been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense for our business and an important part of our compensation strategy;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect: (1) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (2) interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt, which reduces cash available to us; or (3) tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect impairment charges for fixed assets and capitalized content, and gains (losses) on disposals for fixed assets;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect (gains) losses associated with debt extinguishments.
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect losses associated with vendor settlements.
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect transaction related expenses for CLMBR acquisition and pending acquisitions of Wattbike and Sportstech.
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect non cash fair value gains (losses) on convertible notes, derivatives, warrants and unrealized currency gains (losses).
Further, the non-GAAP financial measures presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in the way that these measures are calculated. For example, the expenses and other items that we exclude in our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the expenses and other items, if any, that other companies may exclude from Adjusted EBITDA when they report their operating results. Because companies in our industry may calculate such measures differently than we do, their usefulness as comparative measures is limited. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should be considered along with other operating and financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP.
Forward Looking Statements:
This press release includes certain statements that are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and reflect management’s assumptions, views, plans, objectives and projections about the future.

These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the value or potential opportunity of the digital asset treasury strategy, its value staying above $50 million, the possibility of acquiring future businesses or completing the referenced pending transactions in a timely manner or at all, the financial performance of those acquisitions and the resulting guidance of having more than $80m of pro forma revenue in 2025, achieving profitability by Q4, and the financial performance of the acquisition targets which have not been audited or reviewed by a PCAOB auditor and could vary materially (a) once that audit or review work is completed and such financials are included in the Company’s reported financials and (b) due to the effect of the exchange rates of foreign currencies which can be volatile, or that the business is at an inflection point in Q2 and that there is a significant opportunity for investors. The reader is cautioned not to rely on these forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current expectations of future events. If underlying assumptions prove inaccurate or known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results could vary materially from the expectations and projections of the Company. Risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to: demand for our products and the products of the acquisition targets if the acquisitions are completed (collectively, the “Products”); competition, including technological advances made by and new products released by our competitors and the competitors of the acquisition targets; our ability to accurately forecast consumer demand for our Products and adequately maintain our inventory; and our reliance on a limited number of suppliers and distributors for our Products. A further list and descriptions of these risks, uncertainties and other factors can be found in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. To the extent permitted under applicable law, the Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Executive Commentary
“During the second quarter of 2025, we started to see the rewards of our new initiatives, processes, and hard work over the past 18 months with sequential revenue growth of 20% and year over year organic growth of 5.7%.,” said Kimball Carr, Inspire ‘s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We also grew our portfolio of clinics to 14 with the recently announced acquisition in Florida while significantly improving our liquidity and capital structure with the recently announced preferred stock transaction. I believe this quarter will mark the turning point for our business model and that our top line growth will accelerate going forward.
Second Quarter 2025 Financial Overview
All comparisons are made relative to the same period in 2024 unless otherwise stated.
For the second quarter of 2025, total revenue was approximately $4.3 million, a decrease of 2% from the prior year period but an increase of 20% from Q1 2025. Comparable clinic revenues increased 5.7% from the prior year period.
Service revenue for the second quarter of 2025 decreased $25,000 or 1%, to $3.2 million. The decrease in service revenue is mainly attributed to the exclusion of KVC from 2025 results and reduced practitioner capacity. These decreases were partially offset by the acquisition of the DeBary animal clinic during Q2 2025.
Product revenue for the second quarter 2025 decreased $82,000, or 7%, to $1.1 million. The overall decrease was a result of customers purchasing less products per visit and the exclusion of KVC from 2025 results partially offset by the acquisition of the DeBary animal clinic during Q2 2025.
Total operating expenses increased $285,000 or 5%. The increase is primarily due to increased costs of consulting agreements relating to customer outreach and public company costs.
Net loss for the first quarter of 2025 decreased $352,000, or 10%, to $3.0 million. The decline in net loss is primarily attributable to the reduction of interest expense and the exclusion of the operating expenses associated with KVC.
Balance Sheet
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.2 million.

Exclusive Letter of Intent for West Coast distribution of Nimbus Boats USA
Expands Nautical Ventures’ lineup with premium Scandinavian‑designed models
Strategic step to broaden Vision Marine’s portfolio after acquiring Nautical Ventures
Enhances choice and experience for boaters in Florida’s top market
FORT LAUDERDALE, FL / ACCESS Newswire / August 14, 2025 / Vision Marine Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:VMAR) (“Vision Marine” or the “Company”), a leader in premium on‑water experiences and the owner of Florida‑based dealership network Nautical Ventures, today announced that Nautical Ventures has entered into a Letter of Intent with Nimbus Boats USA to exclusively distribute Nimbus powerboats on Florida’s West Coast.
Nimbus’s Tender, Commuter, Weekender and Coupe series are recognized worldwide for their Scandinavian design, versatile layouts and meticulous construction. With more than seventy years of heritage, Nimbus is one of the respected powerboat builders in Europe and North America, and the largest Scandinavian boat builders by volume. Upon entering into definitive agreements, which the parties expect to conclude by March 31, 2026, Nautical Ventures would be authorized to promote, sell and service these models in Florida’s West Coast region beginning August 1, 2025.
“Adding Nimbus to our lineup will be a strategic move to broaden our product portfolio and serve customers who are seeking premium day‑cruiser and weekender boats,” said Alexandre Mongeon, Co‑Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Vision Marine. “Our vision is to curate the best selection of boats on the market and deliver an elevated on‑water experience. This partnership will expand our reach in Florida, leverage the sales and service capabilities of Nautical Ventures and align with our plan to build a diversified portfolio that addresses high‑margin segments. We believe it will position us to capitalize on strong consumer demand and favourable market trends, while continuing to support and grow our existing brand relationships.”
Industry data underpins the commercial rationale for the partnership. Boating and fishing contribute roughly $1.2 trillion to the U.S. outdoor recreation economy and support more than 812,000 jobs [1]. Florida is the largest market for new powerboats, engines and accessories, generating $6.4 billion in sales in 2023, a 3.1 percent increase over the prior year [2]. The National Marine Manufacturers Association projects that new powerboat sales will rebound in 2025, with total boating expenditures expected to rise 3-5 percent above 2024’s record levels [3]. Adventure‑style boats-versatile models designed for day trips, water sports and island hopping-are among the fastest‑growing categories in recreational boating, and Nimbus’s Tender, Commuter, Weekender and Coupe series are squarely in this segment. These trends suggest a sizable and resilient addressable market for high‑quality day boats and weekenders [4].
The Nimbus partnership is one of several initiatives Vision Marine is pursuing as it structures and expands its brand portfolio under new leadership. In June 2025, the Company acquired Nautical Ventures, a Florida‑based recreational boat dealership, marina and service provider widely recognized as one of the top networks in the United States and the number‑one Axopar dealership worldwide. Nautical Ventures operates nine high‑volume retail locations across Florida and distributes a diverse range of premium brands- including Axopar, Beneteau, Brabus, Edgewater, Highfield, NorthStar, Smokercraft, Wellcraft -serving customers from pontoons to luxury yacht owners. The acquisition created North America’s first electric boat propulsion and multi‑brand retail company, combining Vision Marine’s high‑voltage E‑Motion™ powertrain and electric boats with Nautical Ventures’ established sales and service infrastructure. Integrating Nimbus into this platform is part of a broader strategy to offer consumers the best products across propulsion types while supporting long‑term growth for all brands in the Nautical Ventures family.
About Vision Marine
Vision Marine Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:VMAR) is a leader in high‑performance electric propulsion systems and premium boating experiences. The Company’s proprietary E‑Motion™ 180 horsepower electric outboard is the first high‑voltage system purpose‑built for the marine industry. In June 2025 Vision Marine acquired Nautical Ventures, creating North America’s first electric propulsion and multi‑brand boat retail company. The combined entity operates nine retail locations across Florida and distributes a wide range of prestigious boating brands. By uniting advanced technology with established sales and service infrastructure, Vision Marine aims to accelerate adoption of cleaner, high‑performance boating and provide consumers with an unmatched on‑water experience.
About Nimbus Boats USA
Nimbus Boats USA is the American arm of Nimbus Group, a global leader in the design and manufacture of luxury powerboats. With more than seventy years of heritage, Nimbus has earned a reputation for quality, safety, and innovation, and is the largest Scandinavian boat builder by volume.

The Wedding Planner Hong Kong has announced the reinforcement of its corporate event planning services, reflecting the firm’s long-term strategy to support businesses with comprehensive, professionally managed event solutions. The announcement comes amid a wider shift in the regional business environment, where in-person and hybrid events are once again becoming central to internal communications, brand outreach, and stakeholder engagement.
Operating from its established base in Central Hong Kong, The Wedding Planner Hong Kong has continued to build out its corporate planning infrastructure, enabling the company to deliver strategic event management across a range of functions including leadership offsites, client dinners, product launches, brand activations, and company-wide milestone celebrations. The initiative is supported by new internal project management tools, expanded vendor networks, and updated frameworks for stakeholder collaboration.
Corporate event planning within the company is treated as a distinct service vertical, separate from its private and social event offerings. While leveraging overlapping operational systems and creative resources, the corporate segment is structured to align closely with business objectives, communication goals, and brand identity requirements. Each engagement begins with a structured briefing and scope development session to identify the specific outcomes the client intends to achieve through the event.
Clients in industries such as financial services, technology, fashion, hospitality, education, and property development have already worked with the company on a variety of engagements, ranging from small executive workshops to multi-day conferences and brand-focused media events. These events are designed with an emphasis on logistics precision, stakeholder alignment, and experience-driven interaction, recognizing the increasing importance of event strategy as a component of corporate communication.
The planning process includes detailed consultations to define the role of the event within the company’s larger narrative. This could involve aligning a product launch with a marketing campaign, designing a client event to reflect brand values, or creating a staff celebration that supports internal culture goals. From this foundation, the company builds out the full scope of services, including venue sourcing, design development, programming, vendor coordination, staffing, and compliance documentation.
Venue selection remains a cornerstone of the service. The Wedding Planner Hong Kong works with a broad portfolio of venue partners throughout Hong Kong and the surrounding region, offering access to corporate-friendly environments such as hotels, galleries, industrial spaces, rooftops, and purpose-built convention sites. Venue suitability is evaluated based on capacity, functionality, accessibility, and technical infrastructure. For events requiring confidentiality or customization, off-market venues and private settings can be secured through the company’s partner network.
Creative direction is tailored to the tone and structure of each corporate event. While some engagements require only minimal visual styling, others demand full-scale brand integration through signage, stage design, digital media installations, and environmental graphics. The company collaborates with design and production partners to develop layouts, visual concepts, and digital elements that align with the client’s visual language, ensuring a coherent and purposeful presentation across all guest-facing elements.
Logistics is managed by dedicated teams who coordinate technical production, equipment rentals, permit acquisition, transportation, and venue readiness. Vendor sourcing is handled through a curated network that includes audio-visual teams, catering firms, signage producers, photographers, security staff, and on-site technicians. Vendors are selected based on their capacity to operate within time-sensitive environments and meet detailed corporate compliance requirements.
The Wedding Planner Hong Kong also provides program development services for clients requiring assistance with scheduling, speaker coordination, emcee briefing, and guest facilitation. Events with international or multilingual audiences can include interpretation services, bilingual documentation, and cross-cultural consultation during the planning phase. Hybrid and live-streamed formats are supported with the assistance of technical specialists experienced in virtual production and real-time audience interaction.
An area of focus for the company’s corporate event planning division is guest experience management. This includes pre-event communication, digital registration systems, seating arrangements, name badge production, dietary tracking, and post-event feedback. For premium events, VIP arrival coordination, hospitality services, and concierge support are also available. Data security protocols and access control measures are implemented for events involving confidential information or sensitive discussions.
On the day of execution, a live operations team is deployed to manage set-up, event flow, and vendor performance. The team operates from a master schedule with detailed run sheets, contingency plans, and escalation protocols in place. The objective is to maintain a seamless guest experience while managing the logistical requirements and timing with precision. Where required, post-event dismantling and venue restoration are also coordinated as part of the full-service scope.
For companies seeking performance measurement, the post-event reporting service provides documentation of attendance, guest feedback summaries, media impressions, and internal evaluation metrics. This reporting can support future planning, budget forecasting, and internal communication around the event’s success and learning outcomes.
Sustainability has also been increasingly integrated into the company’s corporate event planning methodology. Initiatives include reducing plastic use, sourcing local and seasonal menu items, providing reusable décor materials, and offsetting carbon emissions through local environmental programs. These practices are designed to align with clients’ corporate social responsibility goals and demonstrate accountability in public-facing initiatives.
As part of its operational enhancements, The Wedding Planner Hong Kong has invested in updated project management systems that allow clients to receive real-time updates, budget tracking, and documentation access through secure digital portals. These tools are especially relevant for large-scale or multi-phase events that involve multiple departments or regional stakeholders. Internal protocols have also been revised to allow for clearer communication, faster approvals, and version-controlled documentation.
The company reports an increase in demand for corporate event planning that focuses not only on execution but also on strategy and creative alignment. This reflects a broader shift in the Hong Kong and Asia-Pacific markets, where businesses are viewing events as strategic tools for reputation building, internal engagement, and partner outreach. The Wedding Planner Hong Kong has positioned its service model to accommodate this shift with a balance of creativity, structure, and discretion.
Through this expanded commitment to corporate event planning, The Wedding Planner Hong Kong continues to develop as a multidisciplinary event planning firm. With expertise across both private and corporate domains, the company remains focused on delivering events that are operationally sound, brand-consistent, and experience-driven.
