Spectral AI (NASDAQ:MDAI) Posts Earnings Results, Meets Expectations

Spectral AI (NASDAQ:MDAI) posted its quarterly earnings data on Tuesday. The company reported ($0.14) earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, meeting the consensus estimate of ($0.14), Zacks reports.

Here are the key takeaways from Spectral AI’s conference call:

• Spectral AI began manufacturing its first 30 DeepView AI Systems for BARDA-supported U.S. burn-center deployments, with initial commercial sales still considered achievable in 2026. Management said procurement discussions are progressing, though deployments depend on working through each center’s purchasing process.
• The company cut its 2026 R&D revenue outlook to approximately $13 million from $18.5 million, citing completion of the MTEC program and BARDA development work shifting to later periods. The outlook excludes device sales and any new or extended government awards.
• Spectral AI is advancing studies and reimbursement pathways intended to support adoption: its U.K. label-expansion study has enrolled 10 patients, and the U.S. TNT study is expected to start at four to five burn centers in early December. The company has also applied for a hospital-focused Medicare add-on payment, with a decision expected by August 2027.
• Q3 R&D revenue fell 24.7% year over year to $2.9 million, and gross margin declined to 27.2% from 42.7%, reflecting a narrower BARDA contract scope and shared development costs. Cash was $11.2 million at quarter-end, while the company reported a $3.7 million net loss.
• The company now expects updated U.K. approval for its improved system in early 2027, later than its prior year-end expectation, delaying planned initial international sales until approval is received.
