Nephros Announces Financial Results for Quarter Ended March 31, 2026

First-Quarter

Net Revenue Growth of 7% to $5.2 million;

Core Programmatic Revenue Grew by 23% Year Over Year

SOUTH

ORANGE, NJ, May 7, 2026 – Nephros, Inc. (Nasdaq: NEPH), a leading water technology company providing filtration solutions to the medical and commercial markets, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Financial Highlights

●Net revenue was $5.2 million, compared to $4.9 million in the first quarter of 2025, up 7%

●Net income was $140,000, compared to a net income of $558,000 in the first quarter of 2025

●Adjusted EBITDA was $206,000, compared to $667,000 in the first quarter of 2025

“Q1 2026 represents another important milestone for Nephros, as we exceeded $5 million in revenue in a quarter the first time in our company’s history,” said Robert Banks, President and Chief Executive Officer of Nephros. “This performance reflects continued strength in our core programmatic business, increasing adoption of our products across new applications, and growing contributions from our service offerings.”

Banks continued, “While we are very pleased with the top-line growth, gross margins in the quarter were impacted by several external and mix-related factors. U.S. tariffs accounted for approximately $200,000 in additional costs during the first quarter, providing a meaningful headwind. We are actively pursuing refund opportunities with respect to tariffs that we paid prior to the February 2026 U.S. Supreme Court decision, and we are also exploring mitigation strategies to reduce future exposure. In addition, the strengthening of the Euro year-over-year increased our product costs, further pressuring margins.”

Banks added, “We also saw a higher proportion of revenue coming from our commercial segment, which carries a lower gross margin than our core infection control products. Importantly, this shift reflects intentional expansion into new markets such as ice machines, drinking fountains, and other high-use applications. While this mix impacts margins in the near term, it significantly expands our addressable market and supports long-term growth.”

Commenting on the broader outlook, Banks said, “We remain confident in the underlying strength of our business. Our programmatic model continues to drive consistent reorder activity, and we are seeing increasing traction from our installation, replacement, and education initiatives. We believe these efforts are strengthening customer relationships and improving long-term visibility.”

Banks concluded, “We are building a larger, more durable business. Near-term margin variability driven by external factors and growth investments does not change the trajectory. With continued expansion in key markets such as New York and Puerto Rico, and increasing contribution from our installation, replacement, and education initiatives, we are well positioned to drive both revenue growth and margin expansion moving forward.”

Financial Performance for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2026

Net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025 was $5.2 million and $4.9 million, respectively, an increase of 7%. This increase was driven primarily by increased product revenue from programmatic growth, which grew by 23% over the same period in 2025. The growth in programmatic revenue was offset somewhat by a decline in emergency response business. We had significant emergency response business in the first quarter of 2025 that did not fully repeat in 2026.

Cost of goods sold for the first quarter of 2025 was $2.2 million, compared with $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2025, an increase of 29%.

Gross margin for the first quarter of 2026 was 57%, compared with 65% in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease of approximately 8 percentage points was primarily driven by higher product costs due to the decline in the U.S. dollar relative to the Euro and the impact of tariffs implemented in May 2025. Gross margins were also negatively impacted by the mix of revenues, as commercial revenues were a larger part of total revenue in the quarter ended March 31, 2026 versus last year’s comparable quarter. Gross margins are lower on commercial revenues versus our infection control revenues.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were approximately $2.5 million, compared with $2.3 million in 2025, an increase of 12% due to increases in headcount and professional fees.

Research and development expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were approximately $346,000, compared with $295,000 in the first quarter of 2025, an increase of 17% due to higher headcount.
