1Q25 Reported With Product Launch and Clinical Trial Updates. Gyre reported Net Income of $3.7 million with Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders of $2.7 million or $(0.03) per share. Data analysis for the Phase 3 Hydronidone trial in CHB-ALF (chronic hepatitis B-associated liver fibrosis) is ongoing, with a data announcement expected during 2Q25. The company also launched avatrombopag in China and plans to launch nintedanib during 2Q25. The cash balance on March 31, 2025 was $51.3 million.
Product Sales Declined But Gross Margin Was As Expected. Product sales were $22.1 million, a decline from $27.8 million in 4Q24. The decline in sales of Etuary, its drug for ITP, was attributed to the economic conditions in China and the shift in marketing resources away from Etuary and toward the new products, nintedanib and avatrombopag. Gross Margin of 96% was as we expected despite lower product volume.

FY Q3 results. The company reported fiscal Q3 revenue of $408.2 million, largely in line with our estimate of $417.0 million. Adj. EBITDA of $37.7 million was 10% lower than our estimate of $41.8 million, the variance largely due to higher cost of revenue.
Focusing on Pharmacy efficiency. In April, the company opened its new fulfillment center in Kansas, which is expected to drive higher profitability in the Healthcare Services segment over the long-term through newer technology and machinery. We expect the new facility to be a drag on profitability over the next quarter or so, however, due to the investments the company is making in the facility. The launch of the new facility aligns with the company’s goal to focus more on Healthcare Service profitability, given the scale that the segment has already achieved (approx. 106k SelectRx members).

Updating first quarter estimates. We are revising our first quarter 2025 adjusted EBITDA and EPS estimates to $6.1 million and a loss of $0.38, respectively, from $6.0 million and a loss of $0.39. The revisions are driven by fewer dry-docking days during the quarter and an increase in operating days to 1,716 from 1,691. We also expect lower general and administrative costs, though this benefit is partially offset by higher vessel expenses tied to an increase in estimated ownership days.
Full year 2025 estimates. We are lowering our adjusted EBITDA and EPS estimates to $68.1 million and $0.59, down from $79.6 million and $1.17, respectively. The downward revisions reflect lower time charter rates and fewer operating days of 7,241 compared to our previous estimate of 7,391 due to an increase in the number of dry-docking days during the year. We have lowered our total revenue forecast to $142.5 million from $154.9 million. We modestly lowered our operating expense estimate to $111.7 million from $113.2 million, driven by expectations for lower general and administrative costs.

Key Points: – US and China agreed to a 90-day truce slashing tariffs, sparking a major market rally. – Retailers and energy stocks surged as sectors hit hardest by tariffs saw renewed investor interest. – Investors should remain cautious, as the deal is temporary and economic data will shape the next move.
Markets exploded higher Monday as Wall Street celebrated a surprise truce between the United States and China, easing months of investor anxiety over escalating tariffs. The temporary agreement—which reduces reciprocal tariffs and establishes a 90-day negotiation window—was met with enthusiasm from institutional and retail investors alike. But while the relief rally was immediate and broad-based, the question remains: is this just a short-term bounce, or the start of a more durable rebound?
Under the new deal, the U.S. will slash tariffs on Chinese imports from 145% to 30%, while China will reduce its levies on American goods from 125% to 10%. That’s a dramatic step down in trade barriers, at least temporarily, and it caught markets off guard. The Dow Jones surged over 1,000 points, the S&P 500 gained 2.9%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq led the charge with a nearly 4% jump.
Big Tech names that had been under pressure from trade war concerns—like Nvidia, Apple, and Amazon—posted strong gains. However, it wasn’t just megacaps moving higher. The broad nature of the rally suggests optimism is spilling over into sectors that were directly affected by tariffs, including retail, manufacturing, and commodity-linked industries.
Retailers in particular could be big winners. Analysts at CFRA and Telsey Advisory Group noted that the tariff pause may have “saved the holiday season,” allowing companies to import critical inventory at lower costs just in time for the back-to-school and Christmas shopping periods. Companies such as Five Below, Yeti, and Boot Barn all saw noticeable gains on the news.
Oil prices also responded positively, with West Texas Intermediate crude climbing over 2% as traders embraced a “risk-on” environment. This could bode well for small energy producers and service firms that had been squeezed by demand worries tied to trade tensions.
Still, not everyone is celebrating unconditionally. Federal Reserve Governor Adriana Kugler warned that tariffs, even at reduced levels, still act as a “negative supply shock” that may push prices higher and slow economic activity. With inflation data, retail sales, and producer prices all set to drop later this week, investors will soon get a better sense of the underlying economic landscape.
For investors, this is a critical moment to reassess market exposure. While the 90-day truce is a positive step, it’s a temporary one. Volatility could return quickly if trade talks stall or inflation surprises to the upside. Still, the sharp market reaction highlights that sentiment had grown too pessimistic—and that even incremental progress can unlock upside.
If the rally holds, it could mark a broader shift in market tone heading into summer. For now, the rebound has begun. Whether it continues depends on what comes next from Washington and Beijing.
Key Points: – April’s CPI showed the slowest annual increase since February 2021, offering some relief from persistent inflation pressures. – Core categories like shelter, medical care, and some food items continue to climb, keeping financial strain high for many consumers. – The full effect of President Trump’s new tariffs hasn’t materialized in CPI data yet—future inflation may hinge on trade policy outcomes.
Inflation in the United States slowed in April to its lowest annual rate in over four years, offering a tentative sign of relief for policymakers and consumers alike. But under the surface, essential costs—like food, shelter, and medical care—continued to pressure household budgets, highlighting the uneven nature of disinflation in the current economic environment.
According to data released Tuesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 2.3% over the previous year, down slightly from March’s 2.4%. This marks the smallest annual increase since February 2021. On a monthly basis, prices ticked up 0.2%, lower than economists’ expectations and a deceleration from previous months.
The slowdown comes amid heightened attention to President Donald Trump’s recent tariffs, which began to take effect in April. So far, their full impact has not shown up in inflation data, but analysts warn the effects may be delayed. “There isn’t a lot of evidence of tariffs boosting the CPI in April, but this shouldn’t be surprising—it takes time,” noted Oxford Economics’ Ryan Sweet.
Despite the broad deceleration in inflation, many everyday necessities remain stubbornly expensive. Shelter costs, which make up about a third of the CPI basket, rose 0.3% month-over-month and 4% from the previous year—still the largest contributor to overall inflation.
Medical care was another driver, rising 0.5% in April and 3.1% annually. Hospital services and nursing home care climbed even more sharply, up 3.6% and 4.6%, respectively. Prescription drug prices were also up, increasing 0.4% month-over-month.
Food prices presented a mixed picture. Grocery costs declined 0.4% from March, led by significant drops in prices for eggs, cereal, and hot dogs. Yet key categories such as meat and dairy remain well above year-ago levels. Ground beef prices, for instance, are 10% higher than this time last year, and steaks are up 7%.
Eating out also continues to climb in cost, with restaurant prices rising 0.4% in April and nearly 4% over the past year.
Consumer goods categories like furniture, bedding, appliances, and toys—some of which are most directly impacted by tariffs—showed modest increases in April. Furniture and bedding prices rose 1.5%, while appliances were up 0.8%.
Although tariffs were initially expected to drive prices higher more broadly, the effect may be blunted or deferred due to a 90-day pause recently announced by the White House, applying to most countries except China. A baseline 10% duty remains in place globally, leaving future pricing trends dependent on trade policy developments.
While the latest inflation report offers encouraging signs that price pressures are easing, the Federal Reserve is unlikely to pivot its interest rate policy soon. Inflation remains above the Fed’s 2% target, and “core” inflation—excluding food and energy—remained flat at 2.8% year-over-year.
For American households, modest relief at the gas pump or in the grocery aisle may be welcome, but rising healthcare and housing costs continue to erode real income gains. The road to price stability is still uncertain—and the next few months will be critical in determining whether inflation has truly turned a corner or is merely catching its breath.
FDA PDUFA goal date of August 15, 2025, for TNX-102 SL for the management of fibromyalgia; if approved, TNX-102 SL would become the first new drug for treating fibromyalgia in more than 15 years
Announced positive topline results from Phase 1 study of TNX-1500, a next generation anti-CD40L mAb candidate in development for prevention of kidney transplant rejection and treatment of autoimmune disorders
Cash and cash equivalents of $131.7 million reported as of March 31, 2025; Current cash sufficient to fund operations into the second quarter of 2026
CHATHAM, N.J., May 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: TNXP) (Tonix or the Company), a fully-integrated biopharmaceutical company with marketed products and a pipeline of development candidates, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025, and provided an overview of recent operational highlights.
“We believe TNX-102 SL (cyclobenzaprine HCl sublingual tablets)* is on track to become a new therapeutic option for patients suffering with fibromyalgia,” said Seth Lederman, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Tonix. “TNX-102 SL would be the first member of a new class of FDA approved drugs for fibromyalgia. TNX-102 SL is a non-opioid analgesic that targets fibromyalgia’s characteristic disturbed sleep to improve the widespread pain of fibromyalgia, while also being well tolerated. Our focus continues to be on the upcoming U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) goal date of August 15, 2025, for a decision on the market authorization on TNX-102 SL for the management of fibromyalgia. We are building out our commercial team for the anticipated product launch in the fourth quarter of this year. Tonix believes it has sufficient cash to fund operations beyond these key milestones.”
Dr. Lederman continued, “Beyond TNX-102 SL for fibromyalgia, we are encouraged by the continued achievements in our pipeline, including positive Phase 1 results for TNX-1500, a next generation anti-CD40L Fc-modified humanized monoclonal antibody (mAb) in development for prevention of kidney transplant rejection and pre-clinical results for TNX-801, a live-virus vaccine in development for preventing mpox and smallpox. We look forward to providing additional updates to each of these promising programs in 2025.”
TNX-102 SL (cyclobenzaprine HCl sublingual tablets): 5.6 mg, once-daily at bedtime small molecule for the management of fibromyalgia (FM) – a centrally-acting, non-opioid analgesic.
In March 2025, Tonix announced that FDA will not require an Advisory Committee meeting to discuss the Company’s New Drug Application (NDA) for TNX-102 SL for the management of fibromyalgia. The FDA previously granted Fast Track designation to TNX-102 SL for the management of fibromyalgia in 2024, a designation intended to expedite FDA review of important new drugs to treat serious conditions and fill an unmet medical need.
In December 2024, the NDA for TNX-102 SL for fibromyalgia was accepted by FDA with a PDUFA goal date of August 15, 2025. The NDA was based upon two Phase 3 studies of TNX-102 SL in fibromyalgia that showed statically significant reduction in the chronic, widespread pain associated with fibromyalgia. TNX-102 SL was generally well tolerated and has no known addictive properties. If approved by the FDA, TNX-102 SL would be the first member of a new class of tertiary amine tricyclic (TAT) non-opioid analgesic drugs for fibromyalgia and the first new drug available for treating fibromyalgia in more than 15 years. Fibromyalgia affects more than 10 million adults in the U.S., most of whom are women.
In April 2025, Tonix presented data and analyses of TNX-102 SL treatment and effects on fibromyalgia at the American Academy of Pain Medicine (AAPM) 2025 Annual Meeting, held in Austin, Texas, in a poster presentation titled, “Sublingual Cyclobenzaprine (TNX-102 SL) for Fibromyalgia: Efficacy and Safety in Two Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trials.”
In March 2025, the Company presented data and analyses of TNX-102 SL treatment and effects on fibromyalgia at the 7th International Congress on Controversies in Fibromyalgia, held in Vienna, Austria, in an oral presentation titled, “Transmucosal Sublingual Cyclobenzaprine (TNX-102 SL) Treatment of Fibromyalgia at Bedtime to Target Non-Restorative Sleep Showed Durable Pain Reduction in Two Double-Blind Randomized Phase 3 Studies.”
TNX-102 SL in development for the treatment of acute stress reaction (ASR) and acute stress disorder (ASD), and prophylaxis against development of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
The U.S. Department of Defense-funded Optimizing Acute Stress Reaction Interventions (OASIS) trial will be conducted by the University of North Carolina under an investigator-initiated investigational new drug (IND) application. The OASIS trial will examine the safety and efficacy of TNX-102 SL to reduce adverse posttraumatic neuropsychiatric sequelae among patients in the emergency department (ED) after a motor vehicle collision. Fourteen days of bedtime TNX-102 SL will be dosed and tested in the immediate aftermath of motor vehicle collision. The study will test the potential for TNX-102 SL to target trauma-related sleep disturbance and its ability to facilitate recovery from ASR and to prevent PTSD. The program has the potential to provide military personnel with a new treatment option that improves warfighter performance and resilience when administered in the early aftermath of traumatic events in the war theater. The study is expected to be initiated in the second quarter of 2025.
TNX-1300 (recombinant double mutant cocaine esterase): under investigation for biologic for cocaine intoxication
The National Institutes of Health (NIH)’s National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) previously awarded Tonix a Cooperative Agreement grant for approximately $5 million to support development of TNX-1300.
TNX-1300 has been granted Breakthrough Therapy designation by the FDA.
The Company discontinued enrollment and terminated the Phase 2 CATALYST study of its TNX-1300 double-mutant cocaine esterase 200 mg, i.v. solution product candidate for the treatment of cocaine intoxication because enrollment in this emergency department-based study was slower than projected. The Company is evaluating new study designs and new endpoints for further development of TNX-1300. The CATALYST study was not discontinued for safety or efficacy reasons.
Immunology Pipeline
TNX-1500 (anti-CD40L Fc-modified humanized monoclonal antibody): third generation anti-CD40L monoclonal antibody under investigation for prophylaxis for organ transplant rejection and treatment of autoimmune disorders.
In February 2025, Tonix announced positive topline results from its Phase 1, single ascending dose (SAD) first-in-human trial of TNX-1500 in healthy participants. The objectives of the Phase 1 trial were to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of intravenous TNX-1500, as well as to support dosing in a planned Phase 2 trial in kidney transplant recipients, pending alignment with the FDA. All objectives were met and support proceeding to a Phase 2 trial. TNX-1500 blocked the primary and secondary antibody responses to a test antigen at the 10 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg i.v. doses, showed mean half-life of 34-38 days for the 10 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg doses (supporting monthly dosing for future efficacy trials) and was generally well-tolerated with a favorable safety profile.
The first proposed indication for TNX-1500 is prophylaxis of organ rejection in adult patients receiving a kidney transplant; but multiple additional indications are possible, including the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Preclinical studies have shown that TNX-1500 maintains the activity of first-generation monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), yet with reduced risk of thrombotic complications. Pharmacokinetic data support a monthly i.v. dosing regimen. This analysis together with TNX-1500’s activity and tolerability in animal models, suggests that the protein engineering of TNX-1500’s Fc region has achieved its design goals.
Infectious Disease Pipeline
TNX-801 (recombinant horsepox virus, minimally replicative live vaccine): potential vaccine to protect against mpox and smallpox.
In April 2025, the company presented data on TNX-801 in an oral presentation at the World Vaccine Congress Washington 2025, held in Washington, D.C. The presentation titled “A Novel Single-Dose, Attenuated Live, Minimally Replicative Mpox Vaccine” highlighted positive preclinical efficacy data, demonstrating that TNX-801 protected animals from mpox and rabbitpox and was well tolerated, even in immunocompromised animals. Durable protection of rabbits from lethal rabbitpox infection was present six months after vaccination. In September 2024, Tonix announced that the WHO’s preferred target product profile (TPP), released at the WHO sponsored Mpox Research and Innovation Scientific Conference, aligns with the characteristics of TNX-801.

Corporate and Partnerships – Recent Highlights*
In April 2025, the Company announced it has entered into a collaborative research agreement with Makana Therapeutics, a global leader in the field of xenotransplantation, to study Tonix’s anti-CD40L (CD40 ligand, also called CD154) monoclonal antibody candidate, TNX-1500, in combination with Makana’s human-compatible pig organs and cells for the treatment of organ failure. TNX-1500 is an investigational, humanized Fc-modified IgG4 anti-CD40L antibody with high affinity for CD40L. The preclinical research and development collaboration has the potential to span multiple Makana programs including kidney, heart and islet cell xenotransplant.
In April 2025, Tonix announced the launch of TONIX ONE™, a fully-integrated digital platform designed to provide resources to help patients better understand and manage their migraine condition. TONIX ONE provides an intuitive, comprehensive journey for patients by offering educational resources about migraine and the limitations of oral medications which can sometimes lead to delayed or ineffective symptom relief. The platform also connects patients directly to independent migraine specialists via telehealth services and e-prescription requests, simplifying and accelerating access to treatment.
During the first quarter of 2025, the Company announced the promotion of Siobhan Fogarty to Chief Technical Officer and the appointment of Gary Ainsworth as its new Vice President, Market Access.
Financial – Recent Highlight
As of March 31, 2025, Tonix had $131.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, compared to $98.8 million as of December 31, 2024. Net cash used in operations was approximately $16.6 million for first quarter 2025, compared to net cash used in operations of $17.6 for the same period in 2024.
On July 30, 2024, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement with AGP pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell, from time to time, shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $250.0 million in at-the-market sales. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company sold approximately 2.7 million shares of common stock for net proceeds of approximately $59.8 million. Subsequent to March 31, 2025, the Company sold 0.6 million shares of common stock under the Sales Agreement, for net proceeds of approximately $9.9 million.
The Company believes that its cash resources at March 31, 2025, along with the net proceeds of $9.9 million raised from equity offerings in the second quarter of 2025, will meet its planned operating and capital expenditure requirements into the second quarter of 2026.
Subsequent to March 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 150,000 of its shares of common stock outstanding under a share repurchase program, for a gross aggregate cost of approximately $2.9 million.
First Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Net product revenue for the first quarter 2025 was approximately $2.4 million compared to $2.5 million for the same period in 2024. Net product revenue consisted of combined net sales of Zembrace® SymTouch® and Tosymra®. Cost of Sales for the first quarter 2025 was approximately $0.9 million compared to $1.7 million for the same period in 2024.
Research and development expenses for the first quarter 2025 were $7.4 million, compared to $12.9 million for the same period in 2024. This decrease is predominantly due to decreased clinical, non-clinical, manufacturing and employee-related expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter 2025 were $10.1 million, compared to $9.3 for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in sales and marketing expenses offset by a decrease in employee-related expenses resulting from a reduction in workforce in earlier 2024.
Net loss available to common stockholders was $16.8 million, or $2.84 per share, basic and diluted, for the first quarter 2025, compared to net loss of $14.9 million, or $535.72 per share, basic and diluted, for the same period in 2024. The basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the first quarter 2025 was 5,927,231 compared to 27,886 shares for the same period in 2024.

OVERLAND PARK, Kan.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– SelectQuote, Inc. (NYSE: SLQT) reported consolidated revenue for the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 of $408.2 million compared to consolidated revenue for the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 of $376.4 million. Consolidated net income for the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 was $26.0 million compared to consolidated net income for the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 of $8.6 million. Finally, consolidated Adjusted EBITDA* for the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 was $37.7 million compared to consolidated Adjusted EBITDA* for the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 of $46.6 million.
SelectQuote Chief Executive Officer, Tim Danker, remarked, “We are very proud of the service and value we delivered to America’s seniors over this past year’s highly unique Medicare Advantage season. SelectQuote’s agent-led model paired with our technology-enabled information advantage made our platform more valuable than ever to participants in the healthcare ecosystem. Policy features changed materially and plan termination activity from carriers was significantly higher than historical averages. Through that volatility and confusion, SelectQuote’s agents again delivered remarkable and efficient service, highlighted by a 15% increase in year-over-year policy close rates. SelectQuote is organized to help each and every customer as an individual and despite significant change, our agents were able to help a higher percentage of them this year than last. Strong execution in our Senior business paired with continued performance in Healthcare Services and our Life division all contributed to successful consolidated results for our fiscal 3rd quarter.”
* See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
Segment Results
We currently have three reportable segments: 1) Senior, 2) Healthcare Services and 3) Life. The performance measures of the segments include total revenue and Adjusted EBITDA.* Costs of commissions and other services revenue, cost of goods sold-pharmacy revenue, marketing and advertising, selling, general, and administrative, and technical development operating expenses that are directly attributable to a segment are reported within the applicable segment. Indirect costs of revenue, marketing and advertising, selling, general, and administrative, and technical development operating expenses are allocated to each segment based on varying metrics such as headcount. Adjusted EBITDA is our segment profit measure to evaluate the operating performance of our business. We define Adjusted EBITDA as income (loss) before income tax expense (benefit) plus: (i) interest expense, net; (ii) depreciation and amortization; (iii) share-based compensation; (iv) goodwill, long-lived asset, and intangible assets impairments; (v) transaction costs; (vi) loss on disposal of property, equipment and software, net; (vii) other non-recurring expenses and income; (viii) changes in fair value of warrant liabilities. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.
Senior
Financial Results
The following table provides the financial results for the Senior segment for the periods presented:
Operating Metrics
Submitted Policies
Submitted policies are counted when an individual completes an application with our licensed agent and provides authorization to the agent to submit the application to the insurance carrier partner. The applicant may have additional actions to take before the application will be reviewed by the insurance carrier.
The following table shows the number of submitted policies for the periods presented:
Approved Policies
Approved policies represents the number of submitted policies that were approved by our insurance carrier partners for the identified product during the indicated period. Not all approved policies will go in force.
* See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
The following table shows the number of approved policies for the periods presented:
Lifetime Value of Commissions per Approved Policy
Lifetime value of commissions per approved policy represents commissions estimated to be collected over the estimated life of an approved policy based on multiple factors, including but not limited to, contracted commission rates, carrier mix and expected policy persistency with applied constraints. The lifetime value of commissions per approved policy is equal to the sum of the commission revenue due upon the initial sale of a policy, and when applicable, an estimate of future renewal commissions.
The following table shows the lifetime value of commissions per approved policy for the periods presented:
Healthcare Services
Financial Results
The following table provides the financial results for the Healthcare Services segment for the periods presented:
Operating Metrics
Members
The total number of SelectRx members represents the amount of active customers to which an order has been shipped and the prescriptions per day represents the total average prescriptions shipped per business day. These two metrics are the primary drivers of revenue for Healthcare Services.
* See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
The following table shows the total number of SelectRx members as of the periods presented:
The total number of SelectRx members increased by 41% as of March 31, 2025, compared to March 31, 2024, due to our strategy to grow SelectRx membership.
The following table shows the average prescriptions shipped per day for the periods presented:
Combined Senior and Healthcare Services – Consumer Per Unit Economics
The opportunity to leverage our existing database and distribution model to improve access to healthcare services for our consumers has created a need for us to review our key metrics related to our per unit economics. As we think about the revenue and expenses for Healthcare Services, we note that they are primarily driven by the marketing acquisition costs associated with the sale of an MA or MS policy, some of which costs are allocated directly to Healthcare Services, and therefore determined that our per unit economics measure should include components from both Senior and Healthcare Services. See details of revenue and expense items included in the calculation below.
Combined Senior and Healthcare Services consumer per unit economics represents total MA and MS commissions; other product commissions; other revenues, including revenues from Healthcare Services; and operating expenses associated with Senior and Healthcare Services, each shown per number of approved MA and MS policies over a given time period. Management assesses the business on a per-unit basis to help ensure that the revenue opportunity associated with a successful policy sale is attractive relative to the marketing acquisition cost. Because not all acquired leads result in a successful policy sale, all per-policy metrics are based on approved policies, which is the measure that triggers revenue recognition.
The MA and MS commission per MA/MS policy represents the LTV for policies sold in the period. Other commission per MA/MS policy represents the LTV for other products sold in the period, including DVH prescription drug plan, and other products, which management views as additional commission revenue on our agents’ core function of MA/MS policy sales. Pharmacy revenue per MA/MS policy represents revenue from SelectRx, and other revenue per MA/MS policy represents revenue from Population Health, production bonuses, marketing development funds, lead generation revenue, and adjustments from the Company’s reassessment of its cohorts’ transaction prices. Total operating expenses per MA/MS policy represents all of the operating expenses within Senior and Healthcare Services. The revenue to customer acquisition cost (“CAC”) multiple represents total revenue as a multiple of total marketing acquisition cost, which represents the direct costs of acquiring leads. These costs are included in marketing and advertising expense within the total operating expenses per MA/MS policy.
The following table shows combined Senior and Healthcare Services consumer per unit economics for the periods presented. Based on the seasonality of Senior and the fluctuations between quarters, we believe that the most relevant view of per unit economics is on a rolling 12-month basis. All per MA/MS policy metrics below are based on the sum of approved MA/MS policies, as both products have similar commission profiles.
Total revenue per MA/MS policy increased 23% for the twelve months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the twelve months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to the increase in pharmacy revenue. Total operating expenses per MA/MS policy increased 26% for the twelve months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the twelve months ended March 31, 2024, driven by an increase in cost of goods sold-pharmacy revenue for Healthcare Services due to the growth of the business.
Life
Financial Results
The following table provides the financial results for the Life segment for the periods presented:
Operating Metrics
Life premium represents the total premium value for all policies that were approved by the relevant insurance carrier partner and for which the policy document was sent to the policyholder and payment information was received by the relevant insurance carrier partner during the indicated period. Because our commissions are earned based on a percentage of total premium, total premium volume for a given period is the key driver of revenue for our Life segment.
The following table shows term and final expense premiums for the periods presented:
* See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures intended to supplement, not substitute for, comparable GAAP measures. To supplement our financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP and to provide investors with additional information regarding our GAAP financial results, we have presented in this release Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, which are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before income tax expense (benefit), plus interest expense, depreciation and amortization, changes in fair value of warrant liabilities, and certain add-backs for non-cash or non-recurring expenses, including restructuring and share-based compensation expenses. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is income (loss) before tax expense (benefit). We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net income margin. We monitor and have presented in this release Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin because they are key measures used by our management and Board of Directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance, to establish budgets, and to develop operational goals for managing our business. In particular, we believe that excluding the impact of these expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core operating performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that we exclude in the calculations of these non-GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, we believe that these financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects. Reconciliations of net income (loss) before income tax expense (benefit) to Adjusted EBITDA are presented below beginning on page 12.
