## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**Biofrontera Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results and Provides a Business Update**

**Conference call will be held today, Thursday, November 13 at 10:00 am ET**

November 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) Woburn, MA — Biofrontera Inc. (NASDAQ:BFRI) (the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development and commercialization of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in dermatology, today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and provided a business update.

**Financial highlights**

● Revenues for the first nine months of 2025 were stable with $24.6 million compared to $24.8 million for the same period in 2024

● The 2025 result was achieved without the buy-in effects from a price increase

● In 3Q25 revenues were $7.0 million, lagging behind the $9.0 million in 3Q24 due to advanced purchases ahead of the Company's October 2024 price increase

● 4Q25 revenues are expected to compensate for this effect and result in substantial annual year-over-year growth

● Operating expenses decreased 5% year over year in 3Q25 compared to 3Q24

● Cash balance was $3.4 million as of September 30, 2025

**Recent Operational Highlights**

● Closed the purchase of all Ameluz and RhodoLED US Assets from Biofrontera AG. New earnout structure reduces payment rate to 12%–15% of U.S. net sales from 25%–35%

● Received the final $2.5 million of $11 million financing led by existing investors in October

● In November, announced the divestiture of its Xepi antibiotic cream to Pelthos Pharmaceuticals for $3 million at closing, $1 million upon commercial availability, and up to $6 million in milestone payments tied to revenue thresholds of $10 million and $15 million

● Announced that the final patient completed the active treatment phase of our Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Ameluz for mild to moderate actinic keratoses (AKs) on the extremities, neck and trunk

● Announced that the final patient in our Phase 2b clinical trial evaluating Ameluz for the treatment of moderate to severe acne vulgaris (AV) completed participation

Hermann Luebbert, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Biofrontera Inc., stated: "We remain on track to achieve our full-year sales objectives, supported by growing demand for our Ameluz-PDT treatment. The revenue decline in Q3 revenues was expected; with stable revenues for the first 9 months without the effect of last year's October 1 price increase, we are well positioned going into the 4<sup>th</sup> quarter which is typically a strong quarter for us. The impact related to the 2024 price increase has begun to normalize in recent weeks, and we anticipate substantial fourth quarter and year over year annual revenue growth.

Our revamped commercial approach, centered on a more focused and data driven sales strategy as well as a refined customer segmentation, is proving effective. We continue to educate both providers and patients on the clinical benefits of Ameluz and PDT with Red Light leading to a significant expansion of the installed base of RhodoLED lamps. This supports recurring, high-margin sales of Ameluz gel.

In addition to the current use of Ameluz treating pre-cancerous skin lesions on the face and scalp, we are very encouraged about the potential of our almost completed clinical studies to gain FDA approval for the use of Ameluz to treat AK on the entire body, and the potential extension to be the first FDA approved PDT treatment for superficial basal cell carcinoma and acne vulgaris.

Our recently completed agreement with Biofrontera AG represents a truly transformative milestone for the Company. By acquiring all U.S. rights, approvals, and patents for Ameluz and the RhodoLED lamps, we now have full control over our most important assets, from production to commercialization. This transaction is expected to significantly enhance our gross margins and strengthen our long-term profitability. The new royalty structure of 12% when U.S. Ameluz revenue is below $65 million and 15% when it exceeds that threshold, replaces the prior transfer-pricing model of 25% to 35%, creating meaningful financial leverage as we continue to grow the Ameluz brand in the U.S. market.

As part of this transaction, we also secured an $11 million investment from our well-established healthcare-focused institutional investors, $2.5 million of which was received after the end of the reporting period. Combined with the recent addition of the proceeds from divesting the Xepi antibiotic cream, also added to the cash position after the period, our current liquidity positions us with a clear runway to sustained growth and profitability."

**Third Quarter Financial Results**

Total revenues for the third quarter of 2025 were $7.0 million compared with $9.0 million for the third quarter of 2024. The 22% year-over-year sales decline in the third quarter of 2025 primarily reflects a temporary comparison effect, as customers advanced purchases into the third quarter of 2024 ahead of the Company's price increase that took effect in October 2024.

Total operating expenses were $13.3 million for the third quarter of 2025 compared with $14.0 million for the third quarter of 2024. Cost of revenues decreased by $2.8 million, or 58% as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. This was primarily due to the reduced Ameluz cost agreed upon with Biofrontera AG in relation to taking over clinical trial costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $10.4 million for the third quarter of 2025 compared with $8.4 million for the third quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by increased legal costs due to patent claims, partially offset by $0.5 million in personnel savings within both the direct sales team and general and administrative staff and a $0.3 million decrease in miscellaneous general and administrative expenses.

The net loss for the third quarter of 2025 was $6.6 million, compared with a net loss of $5.7 million for the prior-year quarter. The increase in net loss is attributed to higher legal costs offset by a better gross margin.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2025 was negative $6.0 million compared with negative $4.6 million for the third quarter of 2024. We look at Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as a better indication of ongoing operations and this measurement is defined as net income or loss excluding interest income and expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and certain other non-recurring or non-cash items.

Please refer to the table below which presents a GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarters of 2025 and 2024.

**Nine Month Financial Results**

Total revenues were $24.6 million for the first nine months of 2025 compared with $24.8 million for the first nine months of 2024.

Total operating expenses were $40.5 million for the first nine months of 2025 compared with $40.3 million for the same period in 2024. Increased legal expense was offset by reduced operational cost. Cost of revenues decreased from the prior year to $8.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $13.3 million for the same period last year due to the reduced transfer price agreed upon with Biofrontera AG in February 2024 in relation to taking over clinical development costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $29.6 million compared to $25.6 million in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributable to increased legal expenses driven by patent claim related legal costs. The increased legal expenses were partially offset by savings in personnel expenses of $1.1 million due to headcount fluctuations in our direct sales and administrative teams, as well as a decrease of $0.4 million in expenses relating to sales support functions and a decrease of $0.4 million in equity issuance costs.

The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $16.2 million compared to a loss of $16.4 million the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA was negative $15.7 million for the first nine months of 2025 compared with negative $13.9 million for the first nine months of 2024.
