Nature Of Business And Basis Of Presentation Nature Of Business And Basis Of Presentation
On August 10, 2023 (the "Closing Date"), TriSalus Life Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “TriSalus,” “we,” “us”), formerly known as MedTech Acquisition Corporation (“MTAC”), consummated the previously announced merger pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and between MTAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of MTAC (“Merger Sub”) and TriSalus Operating Life Sciences, Inc. (formerly known as TriSalus Life Sciences, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“Legacy TriSalus”), whereby Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy TriSalus with the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceasing (the “Merger” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”). In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, on August 10, 2023, Legacy TriSalus changed its name from TriSalus Life Sciences, Inc. to TriSalus Operating Life Sciences, Inc., and MTAC changed its name from MedTech Acquisition Corporation to TriSalus Life Sciences, Inc., the surviving company. Legacy TriSalus was deemed to be the accounting acquirer and predecessor company in the Business Combination.
We are a growing, oncology focused medical technology business seeking to transform outcomes for patients with solid tumors by integrating our innovative delivery technology with standard-of-care therapies, and with our investigational immunotherapeutic, nelitolimod, a class C Toll-like receptor 9 (“TLR9”) agonist, for a range of different therapeutic and technology applications. Our ultimate goal is to transform the treatment paradigm for patients battling solid tumors. We have developed an innovative technology designed to overcome two significant challenges that prevent optimal delivery and performance of therapeutics in these difficult-to-treat diseases: (i) high intratumoral pressure caused by tumor growth and collapsed vasculature restricting the delivery of oncology therapeutics and (ii) off target delivery. Nelitolimod, specifically, combined with our technology, aims to address the immunosuppressive properties of tumor immune cells in liver, pancreas and other solid tumors. By systematically addressing these barriers, we aim to improve response to therapies and to enable improved patient outcomes.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). In management's opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, including normal recurring items, considered necessary for fair presentation. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain information required by GAAP has been condensed or omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain reclassifications have been made to the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit) and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to conform to current period and fiscal year 2025 presentation. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period or for the year ending December 31, 2026. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. We invest excess cash primarily in money market funds. Restricted cash of $0.4 million was held in a separate account at our bank to support our corporate credit card program and was recorded in other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025. This restricted cash account was closed during the first quarter of 2026 and the balance was transferred to our operating cash account. As of June 30, 2026, we had no restricted cash.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The most significant estimates relate to the valuation of the OrbiMed warrant liabilities (see Note 5), the contingent earnout liability (see Note 4), the revenue base redemption liability (see Note 9) and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Our payment terms are typically on net 30 day terms. Our opening accounts receivables balance as of January 1, 2025 was $5.1 million. In accordance with ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, the allowance for credit losses is our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. We review our allowance for credit losses periodically and establish reserves based on management’s expectations of realization based on historical write-off experience as well as current general economic conditions and expectations regarding collection. Account balances are charged against the allowance after all reasonable means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
The following table summarizes the allowance for credit losses accounts activity for the six months ended June 30, 2026:

Revenue Recognition
Our revenue is derived from the shipments of our Pressure-Enabled Drug Delivery ("PEDD") infusion systems to our customers. Our customers are generally comprised of hospitals and clinics. Under ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition, we evaluate five steps to determine the appropriate timing and amount to recognize revenue. The five steps are:
1.Identify the contract — We do not maintain long-term contracts with our customers. Typically, customers will submit a purchase order to us for delivery of a quantity of our products, which incorporate enforceable rights and obligations constituting the contract with the customer.
2.Identify the performance obligation — Our performance obligation is to deliver the ordered products in accordance with the terms of the purchase order, which constitutes a single performance obligation. We do not have any on-going service obligation after delivery and only offer our customers an assurance-type warranty, which provides assurance the product will work as intended.
3.Determine the transaction price — We maintain a single sales price for each of our products, which is generally fixed. For customers with rebate or discount agreements, the rebates and discounts are accounted for within a contra-revenue account at the time the rebate milestone is achieved or discount is given. We do not have a history of any significant refunds, allowances or other concessions provided to our customers from the agreed-upon sales price after delivery of the product. Refunds, allowances or other concessions are accounted for as a reduction of revenue.
4.Allocate the transaction price — We do not have multiple performance obligations to complete when we fulfill a purchase order, as such, the transaction price is allocated fully to the units being sold.
5.Recognize revenue — We recognize revenue at the point-in-time when the units for a purchase order have been shipped and control of the units has transferred to the customer, as evidenced by the delivery terms on the shipping documents. Typically, we ship Freight on Board (FOB) Shipping Point. Therefore, we recognize revenue when the shipment leaves our premises. In certain cases, the purchase order ("P.O.") or contract specifies alternate shipping terms, usually FOB destination. In those cases, we defer revenue recognition until we are assured the units have been delivered and control has transferred to the customer. Our sales team is able to make in-person sales. When this occurs, the revenue is not recognized until we receive a P.O. from the customers, with the inventory treated as consignment until the time receiving the P.O. Shipping and handling activities are not considered to be a separate performance obligation. Therefore, the costs are considered to be a fulfillment cost and the expenses are accounted for within cost of goods sold.
We provide certain customers with rebates that are explicitly stated in our contracts and are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the period the conditions for the rebates are achieved. The rebates result from performance-based offers that are primarily based on attaining contractually specified sales volumes. Subsequent to a rebate being earned, the customer receives a credit to apply to future purchases. We recognized $0.4 million and $0.6 million of rebates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.
Research and Development
Research and development (“R&D”) costs include our engineering, regulatory, pre-clinical and clinical activities. R&D costs are expensed as incurred. The costs are related to internal headcount and external services we purchase, such as pre-clinical supplies and materials, clinical study management and supplies, and consulting related to our R&D. There were no development milestone payments to Dynavax for nelitolimod during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, (see Note 7).
In 2021, we entered into a 5-year Alliance Program (the “MDACC Agreement”) with the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (“MDACC”) to serve as the lead investigators for the PERIO-01, PERIO-02, and PERIO-03 studies. The term of the agreement was for the later of (i) five years or (ii) until the applicable studies are completed. Prior to the expiration of the term of the MDACC Agreement, either party may terminate the MDACC Agreement if the other party commits a material breach of the agreement and fails to cure such breach within 30 days of receiving notice of such breach. Effective February 25, 2025, we modified our payment terms. In Q1 2026, we obtained approval under the MDACC Agreement for a study related to the use of Yttrium-90 ("Y90") using our PEDD technology.
We are required to estimate our expenses resulting from our obligations under agreements with vendors, consultants, and contract research organizations in connection with conducting R&D activities. The financial terms of these contracts are subject to negotiations, which vary from agreement to agreement and may result in payment flows that do not match the periods over which goods or services are provided. We reflect R&D expenses in our condensed consolidated financial statements by matching those expenses with the period in which services and efforts are expended. We account for these expenses according to the progress of the agreements, along with preparation of financial models, taking into account discussions with research and other key personnel as to the progress of studies or other services being performed. Nonrefundable advance payments for goods and services are deferred and recognized as expense in the period that the related goods are consumed or services are performed.
Segment Reporting
Our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), reviews our financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating its financial performance. The CEO considers recommendations from the Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") and reviews the Monthly Financial Report ("MFR"), including financial information and the Company’s performance highlights, such as revenue, accounts receivable and inventory balances, cash flows and cash on-hand, operational expenditures and headcount. Based on the Company’s consolidated financial information, the CEO makes the key operating decisions and determines how resources should be allocated. The CODM also considers budget versus actual results and revenue trends to evaluate expenditures and allocate resources across the organization. Once the CEO has decided, the CEO and CFO are responsible for carrying out the CEO’s decisions. Since the Company operates as a single reporting segment, all required segment reporting disclosures can be found in the condensed consolidated financial statements. All of our customers and long-lived assets are located in the United States. Accordingly, we have determined we operate as a single reportable segment within a single geographic area.
Common Stock
On February 19, 2026, we entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Lake Street Capital Markets, LLC, as representative of the underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), relating to the public offering (the “Offering”) of 9,756,100 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a price to the public of $4.10 per Share (the “Offering Price”). Pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company also granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,463,415 shares of Common Stock (the “Option Shares”) to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Offering Price less the underwriting discounts and commissions.
On February 23, 2026, the Offering closed, which resulted in the issuance of the Shares for net proceeds of approximately $37.0 million. On February 25, 2026, the Underwriters purchased the Option Shares which resulted in additional net proceeds of approximately $5.6 million. The Company recognized $3.4 million in offering costs directly attributable to the Offering, which were recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
