General General
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Delcath Systems, Inc. (“Delcath” or the “Company”) as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Annual Report”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 6, 2025 and may also be found on the Company’s website (www.delcath.com). In these notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements the terms “us”, “we” or “our” refer to Delcath and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Description of Business
The Company is an interventional oncology company focused on the treatment of primary and metastatic cancers to the liver. The Company’s lead product, the HEPZATOTM KIT (melphalan for Injection/Hepatic Delivery System) a drug/device combination product (“HEPZATO” or “HEPZATO KIT”), was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) on August 14, 2023, indicated as a liver-directed treatment for adult patients with uveal melanoma with unresectable hepatic metastases affecting less than 50% of the liver and no extrahepatic disease, or extrahepatic disease limited to the bone, lymph nodes, subcutaneous tissues, or lung that is amenable to resection, or radiation. The first commercial use of HEPZATO KIT for the treatment of metastatic uveal melanoma (“mUM”) occurred in January 2024.
In the United States, HEPZATO is considered a combination drug and device product and is regulated as a drug by the FDA. Primary jurisdiction for regulation of HEPZATO has been assigned to the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. The FDA has granted Delcath six orphan drug designations (five for melphalan in the treatment of patients with ocular (uveal) melanoma, cutaneous melanoma, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and neuroendocrine tumor indications and one for doxorubicin in the treatment of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma).
The Company has sufficient raw material and component constituent parts of the HEPZATO KIT to meet anticipated demand and it intends to manage supply chain risk through stockpiled inventory and, where commercially reasonable, contracting with multiple suppliers for critical components.
In Europe, the hepatic delivery system is a stand-alone medical device having the same device components as HEPZATO, but without the melphalan hydrochloride and is approved for sale under the trade name CHEMOSAT Hepatic Delivery System for Melphalan (“CHEMOSAT”), where it has been used at major medical centers to treat a wide range of cancers in the liver. On February 28, 2022, CHEMOSAT received Medical Device Regulation (“MDR”) certification under the European Medical Devices Regulation (EU) 2017/745, which may be considered by jurisdictions when evaluating reimbursement. In June 2025, CHEMOSAT was approved for reimbursement for two years in the Vastra Gotaland Region in Sweden.
On October 18, 2025, the Company announced the results of the investigator-initiated CHOPIN clinical trial. The randomized Phase 2 trial was designed to compare the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of CHEMOSAT with melphalan for percutaneous hepatic perfusion (PHP) when used alone versus when combined with the systemic immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) ipilimumab and nivolumab. Ipilimumab and nivolumab are approved by the FDA and European Union for the treatment of unresectable metastatic melanoma. The CHOPIN trial included 76 patients randomized 1:1 to receive two PHP treatments alone at weeks one and seven (PHP group) or four cycles of ICI every three weeks over approximately nine weeks with two PHP treatments at weeks one and seven (combination group). The primary study endpoint of one-year progression-free survival rate was met with 54.7% in the combination group versus 15.8% in the PHP group. The secondary endpoints included Safety, Overall Survival (“OS”), Progression Free Survival (“PFS”) and Overall Response Rate (“ORR”). The combination group saw an increase in median OS of 23.1 months versus 19.6 months (HR = 0.39; p = 0.006), median PFS 12.8 months versus 8.3 months (HR = 0.34; p<0.001) and ORR of 76.3% in the combination group versus 39.5% (p<0.001). Grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events were more frequent in the combination group (81.6% versus 40.5%, P<0.001), but most were manageable with standard care. Overall, the combination treatment was well tolerated, with types, rates and frequencies of adverse events consistent with individual use of PHP and checkpoint inhibitors. No new safety signals were identified.
To support the New Drug Application for HEPZATO the Company conducted the FOCUS Clinical Trial for Patients with metastatic hepatic dominant Uveal Melanoma (the “FOCUS Trial”), a global registration clinical trial that investigated objective response rate in patients with mUM. On May 6, 2024, the Company announced the publication of results from the pivotal FOCUS Trial in the journal Annals of Surgical Oncology. In addition, on April 9, 2025, the Company
announced the publication of a comparative analysis of the randomized portion of the FOCUS Trial in the Annals of Surgical Oncology. Currently, the Company’s clinical development program is seeking to generate clinical data for CHEMOSAT and HEPZATO either as monotherapy or in combination with immunotherapy. The Company expects that this will support increased clinical adoption of and reimbursement for CHEMOSAT in Europe, and to support reimbursement in various jurisdictions, including the United States.
In addition to HEPZATO’s use to treat mUM, the Company believes that HEPZATO has the potential to treat other cancers in the liver, such as metastatic colorectal cancer, metastatic breast cancer, metastatic neuroendocrine tumors, and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The Company believes that those and similar disease states are areas of unmet medical needs that represent significant market opportunities.
The Company’s investigational new drug application (“IND”) for a Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating HEPZATO in combination with standard of care (“SOC”) for liver-dominant metastatic colorectal cancer was cleared by the FDA in December 2024. The Phase 2 trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of HEPZATO in combination with trifluridine-tipiracil and bevacizumab compared to trifluridine-tipiracil and bevacizumab alone in patients with liver-dominant mCRC receiving third-line treatment. Approximately 90 patients will be enrolled in this randomized, controlled trial. Patient enrollment began during the third quarter of 2025, with the study expected to take place at more than 20 sites across the United States and Europe. In July 2025, the Company received authorization from the European Union and United Kingdom regulatory authorities for the clinical study of Melphalan for Injection/Hepatic Delivery System in patients with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer with liver dominant disease.
On April 28, 2025, the Company announced the clearance by the FDA of its IND application for the Phase 2 clinical trial of HEPZATO in liver-dominant metastatic breast cancer. The Phase 2 trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of HEPZATO in combination with SOC versus SOC alone in patients with liver-dominant HER2-negative mBC following the failure of previous treatments. The SOC options will be the physician’s choice of eribulin, vinorelbine or capecitabine. We expect approximately 90 patients will be enrolled in this randomized, controlled trial. The trial will take place at more than 20 sites across the United States and Europe, with patient enrollment expected to begin in the first quarter of 2026.
Risks and Uncertainties
As detailed in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K, the Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biopharmaceutical industry including, but not limited to, the risks associated with developing product candidates and successfully launching and commercializing its drug/device combination products, the Company’s ability to obtain regulatory approval of its such products in the United States and other geography markets, the uncertainty of the broad adoption of its approved products by physicians and consumers, and significant competition.
In addition, high rates of inflation have resulted in the United States Federal Reserve raising interest rates. Increases in interest rates, especially if coupled with reduced government spending and volatility in financial markets, may further increase economic uncertainty and heighten these risks. Furthermore, if additional banks and financial institutions enter receivership or become insolvent in the future in response to financial conditions affecting the banking system and financial markets, the Company or its partners’ ability to access existing cash, cash equivalents and investments may be threatened and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition, including the Company’s ability to access additional capital on favorable terms, or at all, which could in the future negatively affect the Company’s ability to pursue its business strategy.
Factors such as geopolitical events, global health outbreaks, adverse weather events, labor or raw material shortages, imposition of tariffs or trade restrictions and other supply chain disruptions could result in difficulties and delays in manufacturing our products, which could have an adverse impact on our results in operations or result in product shortages, including increasing the cost of ongoing clinical trials. We may also have to take inventory write-offs and incur other charges and expense for products that fail to meet specifications, undertake costly remediation efforts or seek more costly manufacturing alternatives. Such developments could increase our manufacturing costs, cause us to lose revenue or market share as patients and physicians turn to competing therapeutics, diminish our profitability or damage our reputation.
The United States has announced a broad range of tariffs on goods imported into the United States, many of which were then paused. The majority of the Company’s sales are domestic, and while the Company sources certain components outside of the United States, the costs associated with imported materials needed for its operations is a modest portion of our overall manufacturing costs. The Company will continue to monitor the implementation and effect of these and other proposed tariffs.
Liquidity
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis which assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern and contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
On September 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $41.8 million and short-term investments totaling $47.1 million.
The Company believes that the current cash on hand, cash equivalents, investments and net cash provided by operating activities will be sufficient to support current operations through at least 12 months from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual future liquidity and capital requirements will depend on numerous factors, including the initiation and progress of clinical trials and research and product development programs; obtaining regulatory approvals and complying with applicable laws and regulations; the timing and effectiveness of product commercialization activities, including marketing arrangements; the timing and costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing intellectual property rights; the resolution of any disputes with third parties; and the effect of competing technological and market developments.
Basis of Presentation
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and were prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and with the SEC’s instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They include the accounts of all wholly owned subsidiaries and all significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make assumptions and estimates that impact the amounts reported. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the interim periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024; however, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in our audited consolidated financial statements which were included in the Annual Report have been condensed or omitted as permitted by GAAP. It is important to note that the Company’s results of operations and cash flows for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations and cash flows to be expected for a full fiscal year or any interim period.
Significant Accounting Policies
Management has performed its quarterly evaluation of policies and there have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies as set forth in Note 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
No new accounting standards were adopted during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The Company’s management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, authoritative guidance, if currently adopted, would have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.
ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Expense Disaggregation Disclosures to improve the disclosures about a public entity’s expenses and provide more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions such as inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization. The disclosure requirements must be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The effective date for the standard is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects adoption of this guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued, ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, a final standard on improvements to income tax disclosures. The standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s
effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard applies to all entities subject to income taxes and is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions. For public business entities (PBEs), the new requirements will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effect of this guidance on its financial statements.
