Management Commentary
Narasimhan Mani, President and Co-CEO of Scienture, commented, "2025 was a transformational year for Scienture, highlighted by the successful launch of Arbli and strong early commercial traction in the approximately $241 million U.S. losartan market, representing 72 million prescriptions annually (IQVIA MAT December 2025). We delivered 216% revenue growth, significant gross margin expansion to 76.8%, and improved operating efficiency, while maintaining a solid balance sheet with $6.7 million in cash and positive working capital. Excluding a one-time, non-cash impairment charge, our net loss from continuing operations improved year over year, reflecting the underlying progress of the business."
"We believe 2026 will reflect the momentum we've built across prescriber adoption, distribution, and patient demand for Arbli, while also positioning us for the planned commercial launch of REZENOPY in the second quarter of 2026," stated Shankar Hariharan, Executive Chairman and co-CEO of Scienture. "Our recently formalized GPO agreements for REZENOPY represent a meaningful step forward in expanding our institutional reach, providing access to more than 5,000 healthcare facilities and approximately 60% of the U.S. institutional market. With a U.S. naloxone market of approximately $141 million in annual sales and approximately 9.4 million prescription units, we believe REZENOPY, as the highest-dose FDA-approved naloxone nasal spray, is well positioned to drive broader adoption and capture market share as we continue executing our commercialization strategy. In parallel, we are actively evaluating additional acquisition opportunities to further expand our product portfolio and drive long-term growth."
2025 Financial Summary
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased 216% to $431,609, compared to $136,643 in 2024, driven by initial sales of Arbli following its FDA approval and commercial launch in the third quarter of 2025. Full-year revenue reflects conservative adjustments for rebates and discounts, which are expected to stabilize as the product gains traction. Gross profit increased to $331,482 in 2025 compared to $6,005 in 2024, with gross margin increasing to 76.8%, compared to 4.4% in 2024, reflecting the transition to higher-margin branded pharmaceutical sales from prior lower-margin wholesale activity.
Total operating expenses were $42.9 million, primarily driven by a one-time, non-cash impairment charge of $26.3 million. Excluding these charges, operating expenses were $16.6 million, compared to $14.7 million in 2024. Net loss from continuing operations was $41.5 million, largely attributable to the non-cash impairment. Excluding this one-time charge, net loss improved by $37,000 year-over-year.
As of December 31, 2025, the company had approximately $6.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $5.2 million in positive working capital.
About Arbli
Arbli is a novel proprietary formulation of losartan, a widely prescribed angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) for hypertension. It is the first and only liquid formulation of losartan on the market that does not require compounding and has reduced dosing volume and long-term shelf life at room temperature storage. Arbli is FDA-approved for the treatment of hypertension in patients greater than six years old, for reducing the risk of stroke in patients with hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy, and for treating diabetic nephropathy in certain patients with type 2 diabetes. By offering a safe, effective, and convenient liquid alternative, Arbli provides a tailored solution for patients who require or prefer a liquid formulation. As an FDA-approved product, Arbli provides consistent quality and dosing accuracy, addressing the risks and inconsistencies often associated with extemporaneously compounded losartan prescriptions. Arbli has two issued patents from the USPTO, which are also listed in the FDA Orangebook.
Arbli is the first and only oral liquid formulation of losartan approved by the U.S. FDA. Arbli comes in a 165 mL bottle as a peppermint flavored suspension that does not require refrigeration and has been approved for a shelf life of 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored at room temperature.
INDICATION
Arbli is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) indicated for:
- Treatment of hypertension, to lower blood pressure in adults and children greater than 6 years old. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions.
- Reduction of the risk of stroke in patients with hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy.
- Treatment of diabetic nephropathy with an elevated serum creatinine and proteinuria in patients with type 2 diabetes and a history of hypertension.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
- Do not take Arbli when pregnant. When pregnancy is detected, discontinue Arbli as soon as possible. Drugs that act directly on the renin-angiotensin system can cause injury and death to the developing fetus. Arbli can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Use of drugs that act on the renin-angiotensin system during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy reduces fetal renal function and increases fetal and neonatal morbidity and death.
- Do not co-administer Arbli with aliskiren in patients with diabetes. Avoid use of aliskiren with Arbli in patients with renal impairment (GFR <60 mL/min).
- Do not administer Arbli in patients with severe hepatic impairment. Arbli has not been studied in patients with severe hepatic impairment.
- The most common adverse reactions are (incidence =2% and greater than placebo): dizziness, upper respiratory infection, nasal congestion, and back pain.
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088. You may also contact Scienture at 1-833-754-4917.
Please see the full Prescribing Information for complete product information. For more information, talk to your healthcare provider.
About Hypertension
Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a cardiovascular condition, when the pressure in the blood vessels is too high (140/90 mmHg or higher). According to the CDC, hypertension, or high blood pressure, affects nearly half of adults in the United States, or approximately 119.9 million people. Hypertension is defined as a systolic blood pressure of 140 mmHg or higher, and diastolic blood pressure of 90 mmHg or higher. Hypertension is a risk factor for stroke and heart disease, which are leading causes of death in the U.S. Factors that increase the risk of having high blood pressure include: older age, genetics, being overweight or obese, not being physically active, high-salt diet and drinking too much alcohol. Hypertension is clinically diagnosed if, when blood pressure is measured on two different days, the systolic blood pressure readings on both days is =140 mmHg and/or the diastolic blood pressure readings on both days is = 90 mmHg.
About REZENOPY
REZENOPY (naloxone HCl) Nasal Spray 10mg, is an opioid antagonist indicated for the emergency treatment of known or suspected opioid overdose, as manifested by respiratory and/or central nervous system depression in adult and pediatric patients. It is intended for immediate administration as emergency therapy in settings where opioids may be present.
REZENOPY nasal spray is for intranasal use only and is supplied as a carton containing two (2) blister packages each with a single spray device.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
REZENOPY (naloxone hydrochloride) Nasal Spray 10 mg is an opioid antagonist indicated for the emergency treatment of known or suspected opioid overdose, as manifested by respiratory and/or central nervous system depression in adult and pediatric patients. It is intended for immediate administration as emergency therapy in settings where opioids may be present and is not a substitute for emergency medical care.
Important Safety Information
- Contraindications: REZENOPY nasal spray is contraindicated in patients known to be hypersensitive to naloxone hydrochloride or to any of the other ingredients.
- Warnings and Precautions:
- Risk of Recurrent Respiratory and CNS Depression: Due to the duration of action of naloxone relative to the opioid, keep the patient under continued surveillance and administer additional doses as necessary while awaiting emergency medical assistance.
- Risk of Limited Efficacy with Partial Agonists or Mixed Agonists/Antagonists: Reversal of respiratory depression caused by partial agonists or mixed agonists/antagonists, such as buprenorphine and pentazocine, may be incomplete. Larger or repeat doses may be required.
- Precipitation of Severe Opioid Withdrawal: Use in patients who are opioid-dependent may precipitate opioid withdrawal. In neonates, opioid withdrawal may be life-threatening if not recognized and properly treated. Monitor for the development of opioid withdrawal.
- Risk of Cardiovascular Effects: Abrupt postoperative reversal of opioid depression may result in adverse cardiovascular effects. These events have primarily occurred in patients who had pre-existing cardiovascular disorders or received other drugs that may have similar adverse cardiovascular effects. Monitor these patients closely in an appropriate healthcare setting after use of naloxone hydrochloride.
- Risk of Recurrent Respiratory and CNS Depression: Due to the duration of action of naloxone relative to the opioid, keep the patient under continued surveillance and administer additional doses as necessary while awaiting emergency medical assistance.
- Adverse Reactions: The following adverse reactions were observed in a REZENOPY nasal spray clinical study: upper abdominal pain, nasopharyngitis, and dysgeusia.
