SERA PROGNOSTICS REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2025 FINANCIAL RESULTS

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sera Prognostics Inc., The Pregnancy Company® (Nasdaq: SERA), focused on improving maternal and neonatal health by providing innovative pregnancy biomarker information to doctors and patients, today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2025 ended September 30, 2025.

Third Quarter and Recent Highlights:

• Meaningful progress on payer initiatives, including an inaugural pilot in Nevada actively enrolling Medicaid patients, while engaging with multiple payers across thirteen states, collectively representing a significant opportunity. Additionally, the Company is in discussions with organizations that have both regional and national reach across multiple lines of business. These early signals of market engagement reinforce confidence that the Company is well positioned to drive meaningful adoption in target states and beyond.
  
  
• On track to publish the full study results of Sera's Prematurity Risk Assessment Combined With Clinical Interventions for Improving Neonatal outcoMEs ("PRIME") this year, followed swiftly by additional data on health economic benefits, sub-population analysis and Medicaid expected cost-saving benefits of Sera's PreTRM Test.
  
  
• Continued engagement with the medical community through two recent PRIME data presentations: health economics data presented at the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) Europe conference, and a presentation (beginning at 4:23:40) by Dr. Brian Iriye titled "Dismantling the Preterm Barrier: Biomarker-Guided Bundle Care to Improve Neonatal Outcomes" at the inaugural Renaissance Conference: The Three Ages of the Woman.
  
  
• Strengthened Sera's leadership team with recent appointments:
  
  
  • In October, Sera announced the appointment of Dr. Tiffany Inglis as Chief Medical Officer. Dr. Inglis brings extensive clinical leadership experience from Elevance Health and Carelon Health, where she led member-facing programs in women's and children's health, improving access to quality care and delivering meaningful cost-savings. Her decade-long practice as an OBGYN combined with her payer-side expertise uniquely positions her to guide Sera through this pivotal phase.
    
    
  • Marisol Urbano was appointed as Sera's Head of Commercial Operations. With 20 years of healthcare experience and a proven track record in diagnostics, her leadership will be instrumental in accelerating customer onboarding and supporting clinical integration, key enablers of commercial traction during this foundational growth period.

"We are seeing commercial traction from the groundwork we have laid, anchored by the results from our pivotal PRIME study," stated Zhenya Lindgardt, President and CEO of Sera Prognostics. "These data are driving meaningful engagement with managed Medicaid and other key stakeholders, including the launch of our first Medicaid pilot in Nevada. We are also advancing discussions with managed Medicaid plans in additional states, representing a strong commercial opportunity, covering 33% of U.S. births and 35% of Medicaid births annually. Beyond this first wave, we've initiated outreach to the next tier of target states, expanding our footprint of states in discussion. In addition, we are actively engaged with payers who are both regional and national in scope. We believe these early signals of market engagement, combined with the scale of the opportunity, position us well to deliver meaningful impact for patients and long-term value for shareholders."

"We're seeing strong early traction with payers, providers, and State Medicaid agencies, who recognize PreTRM's predictive accuracy and the 20% reduction in NICU admissions," said Dr. Tiffany Inglis, Chief Medical Officer of Sera Prognostics. "These partners see clear potential to improve maternal and neonatal outcomes while significantly lowering costs driven by preterm birth. Securing broad coverage at the employer, plan, and state levels is the critical next step to unlocking this value at scale. We are actively advancing these discussions to drive adoption and transform prenatal care."

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Third quarter 2025 revenue was $16,000 compared to $29,000 for the third quarter of 2024.

As of September 30, 2025 deferred revenue increased by $100,000 driven by the prepayment received from the first Medicaid pilot in Nevada.

Total operating expenses were $9.0 million, compared to $8.9 million for the same period in 2024.

Research and development expenses for the third quarter of 2025 were $3.3 million, compared to $3.5 million for the third quarter of 2024 primarily due to lower clinical study costs following the completion of the pivotal PRIME study and as the Company shifts toward commercialization.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2025 were $5.7 million, up from $5.4 million for the prior-year period as Sera continued to carefully invest in targeted commercial activities and strategic headcount additions, while building market awareness in preparation for the publication of PRIME study data.

Net loss for the quarter was $7.8 million and down from $7.9 million for the same period a year ago as the Company continued its focus on managing our capital resources ahead of expected revenue expansion in the future.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and available-for-sale securities of approximately $102.4 million, which Sera expects to fund the company across significant adoption and commercial milestones through 2028.

About Sera Prognostics, Inc.

Sera Prognostics is a leading health diagnostics company dedicated to improving the lives of women and babies through precision pregnancy care. Sera's mission is to provide early, pivotal pregnancy information to improve the health of mothers and newborns, resulting in reductions in the costs of healthcare delivery. Sera has a robust pipeline of innovative diagnostic tests focused on the early prediction of preterm birth risk and other complications of pregnancy. Sera's precision medicine PreTRM® Test reports to a physician the individualized risk of spontaneous premature delivery in a pregnancy, enabling earlier proactive interventions in women with higher risk. Sera Prognostics is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah.

About Preterm Birth

Preterm birth is defined as any birth before 37 weeks' gestation and is the leading cause of illness and death in newborns. The 2024 March of Dimes Report Card shows that, for the last six consecutive years, more than one in ten infants is born prematurely in the United States. Prematurity is associated with a significantly increased risk of major long-term medical complications, including learning disabilities, cerebral palsy, chronic respiratory illness, intellectual disability, seizures, and vision and hearing loss, and can generate significant costs throughout the lives of affected children. The annual health care costs to manage short- and long-term complications of prematurity in the United States were estimated to be approximately $25 billion for 2016.

About the PreTRM® Test

The PreTRM® Test is the only broadly validated, commercially available blood-based biomarker test that provides an early, accurate and individualized risk prediction for spontaneous preterm birth in asymptomatic singleton pregnancies. The PreTRM® Test measures and analyzes proteins in the blood that are highly predictive of preterm birth. The PreTRM® Test permits physicians to identify, during the weeks 18 through 20 of pregnancy, which women are at increased risk for preterm birth and its complications, enabling more informed, personalized clinical decisions based on each woman's individual risk. The PreTRM® Test is ordered by a medical professional.
