FREDERICK, Md., March 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: TOMZ), a global provider of disinfection and decontamination essentials through its premier Binary Ionization Technology® (BIT™) platform, today announced financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025, and provided an update on strategic initiatives designed to drive long-term growth.

2025 Highlights:

• Recap of 2025: TOMI made meaningful strides across multiple strategic priorities. We continued to strengthen our government relationships, highlighted by our selection by NASA for a biosecurity operation for our reliability in mission-critical environments. Commercially, we announced several new customer wins across global CDMOs, leaders in eye health, and prestigious university research groups. In parallel, regulatory and industry tailwinds in the food market, particularly recent FDA developments, have significantly expanded the potential applications for SteraMist iHP within food safety and processing environments. Our sales were driven primarily by continued strength in our service division and recurring BIT™ Solution sales.
• Strong Gross Margins: Gross profit margin remained healthy at approximately 55%, underscoring the efficiency of operations and the value of the Company’s technology.
• Global Market Expansion: Continued penetration into global markets, including Canada, the UK and Europe, with approximately 29% of revenue generated internationally, compared to 21% in the prior year. We leveraged late-2025 strategic milestones to successfully launch into the Canadian healthcare sector in early 2026. This momentum included securing Total Clean Air as our preferred partner for the UK and EU, alongside significant infrastructure investments to support 2026 growth across Europe.
• Operational Efficiencies: We reduced total operating expenses by approximately 10% in 2025 and are exploring the use of AI-related technologies. Going forward into 2026, we continue to actively manage controllable costs while preserving the technical and commercial capacity required to execute on our pipeline.
• Product Innovation: Ongoing investment in R&D to expand applications of SteraMist® across life sciences, healthcare, food safety, and commercial markets, resulting in a more comprehensive equipment and service portfolio.
• Industry Recognition: Our technology continued to gain industry recognition. SteraMist was named Disinfection and Decontamination Products Company of the Year 2025 by MedTech Outlook, reflecting market confidence and the growing adoption of our platform.
• Strategic Validation: A landmark USDA study confirmed BIT efficacy against deformed wing virus (DWV) for agricultural biosecurity in honeybees.
  
  

Financial Results for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to December 31, 2024

• Sales, net was $5,636,000 compared to $7,739,000 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This was primarily driven by customers deferring capital expenditure projects due to the uncertain economic environment with the impact of tariffs and the Middle East crisis. This impact is expected to be temporary, and the customers’ operations and related service activity are expected to resume on a normal schedule.
• Service revenue remained relatively consistent, reflecting ongoing demand for the Company’s decontamination and service solutions.
• Operating loss was ($3,854,000) compared to an operating loss of ($4,105,000) for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
• Net loss was $(3,749,000) or ($0.19) per basic and diluted share, compared to net loss of $(4,477,000) or ($0.22) per basic and diluted share for the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively.
• Our sales backlog grew during 2025 to approximately $1.8 million, reflecting improved visibility into near-term revenue conversion and continued contribution from our recurring consumables and service revenue base.
  
  

Recent Business Highlights:

• On October 1, 2025, we announced the purchase of SteraMist iHP equipment and BIT Solution totaling $175,000 by Trauma and Casualty Team (T.A.C.T.) franchises, a premier provider of decontamination services operating 18 franchises across the United States. T.A.C.T.'s adoption of SteraMist technology represents a key milestone in the Company's commercial growth strategy.
• On November 10, 2025, we showcased our SIS platform at the AALAS 76th National Meeting in Long Beach, California, a key lead generation event for our animal research vertical.
• On November 26, 2025, we announced a custom integration pipeline valued at approximately $3 million, with ten active projects across our SIS and CES platforms. Strategic OEM partnerships with ESCO, Steelco, PBSC, Nuaire, and Getinge are driving platform growth and broader distribution.
• On December 18, 2025, we secured a signed purchase order valued at approximately $500,000 from a global biopharmaceutical leader for the integration of SteraMist iHP into passthrough fill boxes used in sterile manufacturing.
• On December 22, 2025, we announced the adoption of SteraMist iHP by a leading Cell and Gene Therapy (“CGT”) manufacturer for a commercial-scale pharmaceutical facility, including full IQ/OQ qualification and whole-facility iHP Corporate Service fogging of manufacturing suites, QC labs, and support spaces.
• As of December 31, 2025, we had ten active SIS and CES integration projects with a combined contract value of approximately $3 million, including a $500,000 signed purchase order from a global biopharmaceutical leader received in December 2025.
• These figures represent potential future revenue and are not committed orders or guarantees of future performance. Conversion of this pipeline is a primary driver of our 2026 liquidity plan. Certain CES project conversions were delayed during 2025 by the tariff-driven slowdown in U.S. pharmaceutical facility capital decisions, which management views as a temporary, externally driven timing issue rather than a change in underlying demand.
  
  

Liquidity and Capital Access

• As of December 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $88,000 and working capital of $1.0 million. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we incurred a net loss of $3.7 million and used $1.2 million of cash in operating activities. Our accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2025 is $58.1 million.
• During 2025, the Company successfully completed a $535,000 convertible note financing to provide additional working capital and support growth initiatives. We are evaluating options to reduce our outstanding convertible note obligations, including potential conversion into equity or repayment using proceeds from the Hudson Global equity line, either of which would reduce total debt and improve stockholders' equity.
• On November 5, 2025, the Company entered into an equity line of credit (“ELOC”) pursuant to which the Company has the option to sell, from time to time, up to $20,000,000 shares of its common stock over a 24-month period. The ELOC provides the Company with flexible access to capital on an as-needed basis, subject to applicable Nasdaq listing requirements. We may, at our sole discretion, draw down between $25,000 and $2,000,000 per draw, subject to applicable exchange caps. In February 2026, we made our first draw, generating gross proceeds of $94,130.
• Our effective Form S-3 shelf registration statement provides a registered platform to raise up to $50 million of securities from time to time. We have engaged Bancroft Capital as an investment banking advisor to explore additional financing opportunities, including equity and equity-linked transactions with existing and new investors.
  
  

Executive Commentary

Dr. Halden Shane, CEO of TOMI Environmental Solutions commented, “As we enter 2026, our focus remains on growth and profitability. We plan to continue expanding our presence in the global pharmaceutical manufacturing sector by deepening OEM relationships and supporting customers with integrated, validated decontamination solutions, while partnering with new global contract development and manufacturing organizations whose market size is expanding from $136 billion in 2024 to approximately $191 billion by 2029.

“In addition, we see continued opportunities to penetrate the food safety market that has a value of $28 million in 2025 and is projected to grow to $31 million in 2026, which is being driven by the rise of foodborne illness prevention initiatives, stricter regulatory compliance, and increasing consumer demand for high-quality, contamination-free food.

“The global $5.29 billion medical device sterilization market is at our fingertips. Additionally, two very exciting new markets for our future is the biofuel market, which seems to be very favorable for renewables as we focus on domestic energy security, as there are new renewable fuel standards finalized just recently by the EPA, and protecting the world’s pollinators, the honeybees, by leveraging both regulatory developments and growing customer interest in non-toxic, residue-free disinfection technologies. Across all markets, we remain focused on building on our leadership position, improving operational efficiency, and advancing TOMI in a manner that supports long-term value creation.”

Looking Ahead

• The Company enters the first quarter of 2026 with strong operational momentum, expanding recurring sales, and a growing customer base across regulated and emerging markets. We are just in the process of closing the first quarter of 2026, beating first quarter 2025 revenue. The pipeline that we have is the strongest we’ve ever had. Our entire opportunity book for integration projects remains at $16 million and the entire SteraMist iHP opportunity book is currently at $20 million.
  
  

The company is strategically positioned to capitalize on global trends in clean manufacturing, AI-enabled automation, and biosecurity, with a focus on delivering sustainable long-term growth and shareholder value.

The Company is executing a focused strategy to:

• Expand recurring service contracts with key customers and explore new product lines and/or service offerings to generate a steady income stream
