The company reported net revenue declined to $4.7 million, down from $7.2 million in the same quarter last year.

Quarter highlights: Financial and operating developments
Net revenues for the period dropped by $2.5 million, or 34.7%, compared to the same quarter last year. This marks the second consecutive quarter of revenue declines, a trend management attributed to transitional impacts from a strategic shift toward higher-margin clients and the offloading of less profitable accounts.
On the expense side, Marpai achieved a sharp reduction in costs. Operating expenses were cut by 69.7%, resulting in a $9.9 million savings compared to the prior-year quarter. This cost reduction narrowed the operating loss to $3.6 million, an $8.7 million improvement from last year. The improvement was driven by lower depreciation and amortization, the absence of a goodwill impairment charge that was present in the prior year, and reductions in general and administrative, facilities, and sales and marketing expenses.
The net loss for the quarter was $4.4 million, an $8.7 million improvement year over year. Net loss per share narrowed to $(0.28) from $(1.23), helped by an increased share count of 15.5 million compared to 10.6 million in the prior-year period. Interest expense remained steady at $813,000, reflecting ongoing debt-servicing costs.
There were no material one-time charges in the quarter, unlike last year’s goodwill impairment. Significant contract wins, such as new school district clients, are expected to impact future quarters. No new details were provided about the company’s Empower AI-powered portal for automating member services, but technology upgrades remain a key part of the turnaround strategy.
Looking ahead: Management guidance and investor watch points
Management reiterated its expectation to reach profitability by the first quarter of 2026. The company highlighted a strong new business pipeline scheduled for onboarding on January 1, 2026, and plans a major infrastructure investment in the third quarter to further improve efficiency and client service.
No detailed forward financial guidance or revenue outlook was provided for the remaining quarters of fiscal 2025. Liquidity constraints and a substantial stockholder deficit remain risks that could affect future decisions and funding needs. MRAI does not currently pay a dividend.
