SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / August 13, 2025 / Ainos, Inc. (NASDAQ:AIMD)(NASDAQ:AIMDW) ("Ainos" or the "Company"), a leader in AI-driven scent digitization, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.
Chun-Hsien (Eddy) Tsai, Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Ainos, commented, "We're thrilled that our proprietary AI-powered scent digitization platform, AI Nose, has entered the commercial execution phase. The first half of 2025 marked a strategic inflection point as we successfully transitioned from R&D to revenue-generating deployment in Japan. With new real-world pilot programs underway and a clear path to scaled adoption, we've set the stage for the second half with accelerating momentum and expanding commercial traction."
"The increasing integration of AI across multiple industries strongly reinforces our strategic focus on AI-driven SmellTech. According to third-party research, demand for electronic nose is growing in healthcare, environmental monitoring, and industrial automation-key sectors where AI Nose is already gaining momentum. Through strategic partnerships, we're expanding AI Nose into a multi-industry deployment ecosystem. I believe our expanding ecosystem both broadens our scent database and enhances our smell language models ("SLMs"), paving the way for a SmellTech-as-a-Service subscription model. Designed to generate scalable, recurring revenue, this model supports high-value applications such as scent analytics, predictive monitoring, and digital Smell ID profiling-extending value well beyond hardware sales."
"I'm very excited about AI Nose's increasing momentum in the industrial market. Earlier this month, we secured our first three-year subscription order valued at $2.1 million for the first deployment of AI Nose in a semiconductor manufacturing setting. It is also our second commercial success, following first revenue in the senior care sector during 1Q 2025. Following the software-hardware integration of AI Nose into our first robotic partner's robots, we are launching pilot deployments of the world's first service robots with a sense of smell, powered by AI Nose, at seven industrial sites across Japan. In partnership with the world's leading provider of semiconductor assembly and test services, we've expanded our collaboration and are targeting AI Nose applications across its manufacturing footprints to enable real-time anomaly detection and process monitoring. We've also broadened our industrial footprint through partnerships with two industrial automation specialists, both of which are Nvidia's smart factory ecosystem partners, aiming to integrate AI-powered scent intelligence into smart factory and machine vision ecosystems across Asia."
"Meanwhile, our AI Nose platform has demonstrated impressive performance-achieving 85% accuracy in eldercare hygiene detection, 80% at Japanese semiconductor facilities, and 90% in classifying food and beverage scents. These results validate the robustness and versatility of our SLM across diverse environments. As a trainable AI for scent, I believe our SLM's accuracy will continue to improve as we scale."
"We're executing a focused 90-day action plan to advance our SmellTech platform and unlock the next wave of AI-powered sensing. Aligned with other 2H25 priorities, this positions us for scale-up in 2026. In addition to field tests with our robot customer in Japan, we will progress through a multi-stage rollout roadmap with our semiconductor customer, targeting to complete approximately 1,400 pilot deployments of AI Nose and then initiate Phase 1 expansion to around 5,000 units. This will lay the foundation for Phase 2 scale-up to as many as 15,000 units. We also plan to showcase the AI Nose-integrated robot with our partners at Automation Taipei in late August. We will also launch pilot programs across our partners' target industrial sectors in Asia by 2H25. In parallel, we will initiate large-scale pilots in Japan's senior care sector and evaluate expansion opportunities in Taiwan. To strengthen SLM performance, we will conduct broad-scale validation and real-world testing. We will also actively pursue additional strategic partnerships in Asia and Europe for technology licensing and regional commercialization."
"For our VELDONA® immunotherapy programs, we continue to advance with capital discipline and strategic flexibility. We've begun two human clinical trials in Taiwan-targeting HIV-related oral warts and primary Sjögren's syndrome-and reported promising interim results from our veterinary study in feline chronic gingivostomatitis ("FCGS")."
"With a well-defined roadmap, we will implement our strategies with focus-expanding AI Nose pilots, enriching our Smell ID dataset, and driving adoption across key verticals. As demand for intelligent environmental sensing accelerates, Ainos is uniquely positioned to provide the missing link and lead the next frontier of AI-where machines can see, hear, and now, smell. Our leadership in AI Nose technology and immunotherapy empowers us to seize immense growth opportunities and bring lasting value to our shareholders."
Christopher Lee, Chief Financial Officer of Ainos, remarked, "We're delighted with the strong momentum of our AI Nose platform, which drove significant first-half revenue growth through our co-development project in Japan's senior care sector. We also improved gross margin, turning to gross profitability in both Q2 and the first half. Our capital discipline narrowed first-half operating cash outflows by 26% year over year, while we continued to invest in R&D, AI Nose validation, and clinical trials. With no debt maturities through 2027 and measured use of our at-the-market facility generating $719K in net proceeds, we are supporting growth with a controlled cost of capital. Our recent 1-for-5 reverse split, completed to regain Nasdaq compliance, further strengthens our capital structure and better places us to attract institutional investors. Backed by this solid financial strategy, we remain well-equipped to advance key strategic priorities and drive long-term growth."
