Biofrontera Inc. (BFRI), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in photodynamic therapy for dermatological conditions, reported a "record-breaking" performance in the first half of 2025. The company's CEO, Hermann Luebbert, highlighted significant strategic shifts that have reshaped the company's outlook and enhanced its operating leverage. The company's performance was driven by a change in customer segmentation strategy, data-driven sales support, and a focus on emotional intelligence in sales hiring.

The company reported total revenues of $17.7 million for H1 2025, a 12% increase from the same period in 2024. This growth was fueled by a 5% higher unit sales price and a 9.5% increase in sales volume of Ameluz®, a key product in the company's portfolio. The company's cash and cash equivalents stood at $7.2 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to $5.9 million at the end of 2024.

Biofrontera Inc. also achieved several key milestones during the first half of 2025. The company agreed to a major restructuring of its relationship with Biofrontera AG, including the acquisition of United States Intellectual Property (IP) and New Drug Applications (NDA) and control of manufacturing, supported by an additional $11 million in funding. Additionally, the company was granted a US patent on the revised formulation of Ameluz®, extending patent protection through December 2043.

The company's restructuring has also led to a shift in its royalty model, which is expected to generate further savings on the cost of goods. Management expects this change to significantly decrease the company's cost of sales but also delay the time of payments.

Biofrontera Inc. remains optimistic about the potential for Ameluz® to be used more broadly to treat actinic keratosis on the entire body, as well as the potential label extension to basal cell carcinoma and acne vulgaris. The company continues to focus on enhancing its sales team effectiveness and executing its growth strategy.
