– Quarterly results marked by 104% revenue growth and improved operating performance –

– Company issues full-year 2026 revenue guidance –

– Announces Humana is now covering the TULSA Procedure™ –

TORONTO, May 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Profound Medical Corp. (NASDAQ:PROF; TSX:PRN) (“Profound” or the “Company”), a commercial-stage medical device company that develops and markets innovative interventional MRI (“iMRI”) procedures, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. Unless specified otherwise, all amounts in this press release are expressed in U.S. dollars and are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP).  

“We continued to execute well across our business in the first quarter, delivering triple-digit revenue growth combined with strong gross margin and lower operating expenses. We were also pleased to see statistically significant and clinically meaningful benefit from the TULSA Procedure beginning to readout from the randomized post-market CAPTAIN clinical trial comparing it to robotic radical prostatectomy, the current standard of care,” said Arun Menawat, Profound’s CEO and Chairman. “These and other anticipated tailwinds, including the expansion of payer coverage for the TULSA Procedure, give us confidence that we are moving closer to a pivotal inflection point in our growth trajectory. Nevertheless, it continues to be difficult for the investment community to accurately predict our revenues in the short-term. Accordingly, we are setting what we believe is a reasonable bar for our total annual revenue in 2026.”

Business Highlights

• Profound’s TULSA-PRO installed base stood at 80 at the end of Q1-2026, and the Company shipped an additional six (6) systems during the first quarter that had yet to be installed.
• In March 2026, Profound announced superiority on the prespecified, primary safety endpoint in the Level 1 post-market CAPTAIN randomized controlled trial comparing the TULSA Procedure with robotic radical prostatectomy in men with organ-confined, intermediate-risk, Gleason Score 7 (Grade Group 2 and 3) prostate cancer. The Company looks forward to announcing additional clinical outcomes from this unique, potentially paradigm-changing study when they become available later this year.
• Also in March, Texas Prostate achieved its 100^th TULSA Procedure. Prior to that, in September 2025, Profound announced the launch of a first-of-its-kind ‘TULSA-PROgram’ under which Texas Prostate began performing TULSA Procedures for men with disease conditions requiring prostate tissue ablation in Dallas Medical Center’s state-of-the-art MRI suite. This model — bridging private-pay practices and Medicare-participating hospitals — is designed to allow more men to benefit from the TULSA Procedure’s versatility across several prostate conditions requiring medical intervention.
• In April 2026, the TULSA Procedure was highlighted in several presentations at the 2026 Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) Annual Scientific Meeting, which was held in Toronto, ON.
• Today, Profound is pleased to announce that Humana has become the first national payor in the United States to cover the TULSA Procedure. Humana is one of the largest commercial payers in the U.S., and crucial for many health systems due to its large Medicare Advantage enrollment numbers. The addition of approximately 8.5 million covered lives in the first quarter (6.9 million covered lives with Humana alone) represents meaningful progress toward ensuring more patients have access to the TULSA Procedure. Profound will continue to work collaboratively with payers, providers, and health systems to expand coverage and streamline patient access pathways for the TULSA Procedure.

Summary First Quarter 2026 Results

For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, Profound recorded revenue of approximately $5.3 million, with $2.5 million from recurring - non-capital revenue, which consists of the sale of one-time use devices and services associated with extended warranties, and $2.9 million from the one-time sale of capital equipment. First quarter 2026 revenue was up 104% from $2.6 million for the same three-month period a year ago.

Gross margin for the first quarter of 2026 was 72%, up marginally from 71% in the prior year period. The increase in first quarter 2026 gross margin was primarily due to product mix whereby more capital equipment was sold which contains a higher margin.

Total operating expenses in the first quarter of 2026 were approximately $11.8 million, down 9% from $13.0 million in the prior year period. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to decreases in salaries, sales force, travel expenses, insurance premiums, and clinical trial costs due to CAPTAIN trial enrollment completion, partially offset by increases in consulting expenditures due to spending on R&D initiatives to reduce design costs and improve quality and efficiencies with the Company’s products.

First quarter 2026 net loss was approximately $7.0 million, or $0.19 per common share, a 34% improvement from a net loss of approximately $10.7 million, or $0.36 per common share, in the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Liquidity and Outstanding Share Capital

As at March 31, 2026, Profound had cash of approximately $50.3 million.

As at May 7, 2026, Profound had 36,337,637 common shares issued and outstanding.

Full Year 2026 Financial Outlook

The Company projects total revenue for full-year 2026 to be approximately $25 million, which represents 56% growth compared to its prior year revenue. The Company also expects full year 2026 gross margin to be 70% or higher.

About Profound Medical Corp.

Profound is a commercial-stage medical device company and an innovator in interventional MRI (iMRI) procedures. The company’s flagship platform, TULSA-PRO^®, enables MRI-guided, incision-free prostate ablation. Physicians use the TULSA Procedure™ to see, ablate, and confirm therapy in real time, supporting personalized treatment strategies across the continuum of prostate care—from whole-gland to subtotal, hemi, multifocal, and focal treatment. This approach enables individualized care using prostate tissue ablation, while minimizing the potential of the side effects that are typically associated with surgery or radiation, such as urinary incontinence and/or erectile dysfunction.

Profound also commercializes Sonalleve^®, an MRI-guided therapy that provides a non-surgical treatment option for pain palliation of bone metastases, desmoid tumors, and osteoid osteoma, as well as for common gynecologic conditions including uterine fibroids and adenomyosis. Sonalleve delivers targeted therapy with no incisions, no blood loss during the procedure, no overnight hospital stay, and faster recovery — and, in gynecologic applications, enables uterine-sparing treatment that may help preserve fertility. Profound is also exploring additional clinical applications for Sonalleve, including non-invasive ablation of abdominal cancers and hyperthermia-based cancer therapies.

Profound Medical’s technologies are approved across major global markets. TULSA-PRO is cleared by the FDA in the United States for transurethral ultrasound ablation (TULSA) of prostate tissue. In addition, TULSA-PRO is cleared for use in various jurisdictions including Europe, Canada, Saudi Arabia, India, Australia/New Zealand, and the UAE. Sonalleve is approved by the FDA as HDE in the United States for the treatment of osteoid osteomas in the extremities. Sonalleve is also cleared or approved in the Europe, Canada, China, and Saudi Arabia.

Through real-time MRI guidance and data-driven innovation, Profound is advancing the future of MRI-guided therapy — expanding access to precise, personalized, and incision-free treatment options worldwide.
