For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the increase primarily resulted from an $11.5 million increase from continued growth in France, a $6.9 million increase in Germany from active patient growth and reimbursement improvements, and a $6.9 million increase from the remaining international markets driven by active patient growth.
Current report
In July 2025, the United States tax code was amended, including significant changes primarily focused on the permanent extension of certain business and international tax provisions enacted as part of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Except for certain provisions, the amendments are effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2025 and include, among other things: (i) bonus depreciation that will allow for full expensing of qualified property; and (ii) immediate deductibility of domestic research or experimental expenditures. We are evaluating the impact of the tax law changes and currently estimate a decrease in tax expense of approximately $1.7 million related to the six months ended June 30, 2025.

In April 2025, we announced that the results of the PANOVA-3 trial will be presented for the first time at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting in May 2025.
Current wording
In May, we presented positive results from the phase 3 PANOVA-3 clinical trial ("PANOVA-3") evaluating the use of TTFields therapy with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel ("GnP") for locally advanced, unresectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting. Patients treated with TTFields therapy concomitantly with GnP exhibited a median overall survival of 16.2 months compared to 14.2 months in the control arm. Patients treated with TTFields therapy concomitantly with GnP also demonstrated greater median pain-free survival of 15.2 months compared to 9.1 months in the control arm. In July, we presented additional quality of life data at the 2025 European Society for Medical Oncology Gastrointestinal Cancers Congress. Patients treated with TTFields therapy concomitantly with GnP exhibited statistically significant improvements across numerous quality of life measures including, but not limited to, time to deterioration in global health status, delay in time to deterioration due to pain and delay in time to deterioration due to pancreatic pain. In May, the full results of the PANOVA-3 trial were published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
Previous wording
In June 2024, we presented results from the Phase 3 METIS clinical trial evaluating the use of TTFields therapy and best supportive care for the treatment of adult patients with 1-10 brain metastases from NSCLC following stereotactic radiosurgery ("METIS"). The METIS trial met its primary endpoint, demonstrating a statistically significant improvement in time to intracranial progression for patients treated with TTFields therapy and supportive care compared to patients treated with supportive care alone.
Current wording
In 2024, we presented data from the Phase 3 METIS clinical trial evaluating the use of TTFields therapy and best supportive care for the treatment of adult patients (n=298) with 1-10 brain metastases from NSCLC following stereotactic radiosurgery ("METIS"). The METIS trial met its primary endpoint, demonstrating a statistically significant improvement in time to intracranial progression for patients treated with TTFields therapy and supportive care compared to patients treated with supportive care alone. Subsequent to that presentation, the routine process of cleaning and qualification of the database was concluded. The final analysis on the fully cleaned and qualified dataset confirmed that METIS met its primary endpoint, demonstrating a statistically significant improvement in time to intracranial progression in patients randomized to receive TTFields therapy. Patients treated with TTFields therapy and supportive care exhibited a risk reduction of 28% (HR 0.724, p=0.044), with median time to intracranial progression of 15.0 months compared to 7.5 months in patients treated with supportive care alone. Intracranial progression rates at months 2, 6, 12, and 24 were 13.6% vs 22.1% (p=0.034), 33.7% vs 46.4% (p=0.018), 46.9% vs 59.4% (p=0.023), and 53.6% vs. 65.2% (p=0.031; post hoc), respectively.

On October 7, 2023, the State of Israel was attacked and is in a state of war. As of the date of this filing, we believe that there is no immediate risk to our business facilities or operations. Our supply chain teams have increased stock levels to mitigate distribution and service risks from our suppliers in Israel.
Current wording
Since October 2023, the State of Israel has been in a state of war. As of the date of this filing, we believe that there is no immediate risk to our business facilities or operations. Our supply chain teams have increased stock levels to mitigate distribution and service risks from our suppliers in Israel, some of whom are single-source suppliers. Pursuant to our policy to seek and maintain second-source suppliers wherever possible, we are in the process of obtaining second-source suppliers outside of Israel; however we can provide no assurance that we will secure or maintain such suppliers on a timely basis.
Previous wording
The manufacturing of our Products and associated accessories are fully outsourced to third parties across multiple countries. In recent years, in anticipation of active patient growth and new indication launches, we began onboarding additional suppliers and/or supply nodes to increase the resilience of our network. As an example, we are in the process of adding production capacity in Mexico and Ireland. This also helps us now to provide optionality around supply routes to optimize our cost structure, including the emerging tariff landscape.

Previous wording
In March and April 2025, the U.S. increased tariff rates on imported goods from numerous countries. At that time, our most significant tariff exposure resulted from the import of arrays into the U.S. from Israel, which was subject to a 17% tariff rate. This is compared to zero percent tariff rate prior to April 2025. On April 9, the U.S. temporarily delayed implementation of all new tariffs by 90 days, resulting in a 10% tariff for most countries.

On July 12, 2025, President Trump announced that tariffs on certain goods from Mexico and the European Union would be subject to 30% tariffs beginning on August 1, 2025, subject to ongoing negotiations with the U.S.
Previous wording
If the tariffs return to the pre-April 9 rates after the pause expires, our current analysis of the global tariff environment leads us to estimate that import duties could increase by as much as $11 million in 2025. If the pause continues through the end of 2025, we estimate an $8 million impact.
Current wording
We continue to focus on opportunities to mitigate negative impacts and increase efficiencies and scale within our supply chain. Following these efforts to date, if the tariffs return to the pre-April 9 rates after the pause expires and the July 12 announced tariffs go into effect, our current analysis of the global tariff environment leads us to estimate that import duties could increase by up to approximately $7 million in 2025. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we expensed an additional $1.3 million in duties as a result of the higher tariff rates.
Previous wording
The global tariff environment is changing rapidly, and we cannot be assured that we will not ultimately be negatively impacted further by these changes. We continue to focus on opportunities to mitigate negative impacts and increase efficiencies and scale within our supply chain.

Excluding sales to Zai, cost of revenues per active patient per month was $2,794 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of 3% from $2,715 for the same period in 2024, primarily due to higher average array costs driven by the new array roll-out and the NSCLC launch. Cost of revenues per active patient is calculated by dividing the cost of revenues for the quarter less equipment sales to Zai for the quarter by the average of the active patients at the end of the prior quarter and the ending active patients in the current quarter. This quarterly figure is then divided by three to estimate the monthly cost of revenues per active patient. Sales to Zai are deducted because they are sold at cost and in anticipation of future royalties from Zai, and Zai patient counts are not included in our active patient population. Cost of products sold to Zai totaled $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Current wording
Excluding sales to Zai, cost of revenues per active patient per month was $2,970 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of 10% from $2,692 for the same period in 2024, primarily due to higher average array costs driven by the new array roll-out and the NSCLC launch. Cost of revenues per active patient is calculated by dividing the cost of revenues for the quarter less equipment sales to Zai for the quarter by the average of the active patients at the end of the prior quarter and the ending active patients in the current quarter. This quarterly figure is then divided by three to estimate the monthly cost of revenues per active patient. Sales to Zai are deducted because they are sold at cost and in anticipation of future royalties from Zai, and Zai patient counts are not included in our active patient population. Cost of products sold to Zai totaled $3.2 million and $6.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $3.1 million and $5.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
Previous wording
Gross margin was 75% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to 76% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The reduction in gross margin is due to the aforementioned cost of revenue increase and the completion of the Zai up front license and milestone fees recognition. We expect that our gross margins will continue to be impacted by current and future product enhancements, such as the launch of our new arrays in the U.S. and our launch in NSCLC, as well as by the changing tariff landscape. We continue to focus on opportunities to increase efficiencies and scale within our supply chain. This includes evaluating new materials, manufacturers, and processes that could lead to lower costs.
Current wording

At March 31, 2025, we had $929.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, a decrease of $30.7 million compared to $959.9 million at December 31, 2024, primarily caused by by net cash used in operations and used in investing activities.
