Exhibit 99.1
RETRACTABLE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. REPORTS RESULTS FOR 2025
LITTLE ELM, Texas, March 27, 2026—Retractable Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American: RVP) reports the following information relating to the year ended December 31, 2025. Further details concerning the results of operations as well as other matters are available in Retractable’s Form 10-K filed on March 27, 2026 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company’s revenues for 2025 increased 15.8%. The Company’s revenues were approximately $38.3 million in 2025 as compared to approximately $33.0 million in the prior year. Domestic revenues increased 9.7% principally due to an increase in VanishPoint® and EasyPoint® needle sales. International revenues increased 64.0% predominantly due to higher EasyPoint® needle sales. Comparability of 2025 to 2020-2023 financial results is challenging due to the unusual volume of pandemic sales in those years.
The Company’s operating costs remain high since its facility expansion and, more recently, an increase in domestic production in connection with 2024-2026 tariffs. Total operating expenses were $21.2 million in 2025. The 2025 loss from operations was $21.2 million as compared to a loss from operations of $21.1 million in the prior year.
The net decrease in cash for 2025 was $1.6 million. At the end of 2025, the Company’s cash position was $2.6 million, and the Company held $34.4 million in debt and equity securities.
Approximately $1.8 million was incurred in tariff expense in 2025. The Company obtained 62.6% of its products from manufacturers in China. As of March 9, 2026, the prevailing tariff rate on most syringe and needle products imported from China was 120%. As foreign trade policy continues to evolve, uncertainty as to future tariff rates remains. Management expects that tariffs will continue to have a material impact on the Company’s operations and financial position.
