Chris Fair, Chief Executive Officer of Kuros Biosciences, said: 'We recorded exceptional company revenue growth of 78%, marking a pivotal phase of scale and impact for Kuros. An outstanding accomplishment is that the group has for the first time ever recorded an operating profit. With FDA clearance and U.S. launch of MagnetOs MIS, accelerating growth in extremities, and entry into new international markets, we continue to deliver with innovation, precision, and purpose. The strategic alliance with Medtronic is expanding our reach across U.S. spine markets, while our new Atlanta headquarters will enable domestic production and an immersive educational experience for surgeons, partners, and investors. Backed by strong financial performance, an experienced and diverse board, and momentum across all segments, we are well-positioned to sustain growth and create long-term value for patients, providers, and shareholders globally.'
Commercial, Operational & Regulatory Highlights
Medtronic U.S. Spine Partnership Gains Traction – In January 2025, Kuros finalized a five-year exclusive strategic sales agent agreement with the Medtronic spinal division for MagnetOs in mutually agreed upon U.S. sales territories. The partnership, which evolved from a successful pilot, is accelerating commercial access and hospital entry across key geographies, serving as a major force multiplier for Kuros' U.S. growth.
FDA Clearance & First Cases with MagnetOs MIS Delivery System – Kuros has received FDA 510(k) clearance for its MagnetOs MIS Delivery System, a sterile, prefilled, single-use delivery system engineered for Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) in spine procedures. The system enables three times faster graft placement compared to traditional funnel-based methods, combining precise delivery with compelling Level I clinical data.1,2 Dr. Daniel Park, orthopedic spine surgeon, performed his first case using the new FDA-cleared system in Southfield, Michigan. 'MagnetOs MIS delivered smooth, precise graft placement in a typically challenging MIS TLIF case – no preparation, no thawing, just immediate delivery and efficiency. It pairs streamlined handling with compelling clinical data, making it a meaningful advancement for surgeons who value both efficiency and biologically robust healing,' said Dr. Park.
Continued Momentum in Extremities Market – With an established team dedicated to the extremities segment, Kuros is laying the groundwork for long-term success. Early progress has been promising, and the team continues to focus on targeted surgeon and distributor engagement, training, and brand awareness through an omnichannel strategy that includes key scientific meetings and driving social media presence.
Global Expansion Accelerates – Following recent approval of MagnetOs Granules, ANVISA has now approved MagnetOs Putty for use in Brazil, further expanding Kuros' commercial presence in the growing South American spine market and building on recent global clearances in Lebanon and beyond.
First Capital Markets Day Successfully Completed – In May 2025, Kuros hosted its inaugural Capital Markets Day in Zurich, welcoming over 130 attendees in-person and online. The event showcased the company's scientific leadership, global commercial strategy, and clinically proven differentiated approach to bone healing – featuring insights from a leading U.S. foot and ankle surgeon on how bone graft choice directly impacts patient outcomes and day-to-day quality of life. In addition, the Group presented the progress made in transforming its business from a functional, structural and digital perspective.
New U.S. Headquarters and Production Facility Construction Underway – As part of its U.S. operational expansion strategy, Kuros has secured a location in Atlanta for a new office and manufacturing facility. The site is expected to support diversified manufacturing and enable Kuros to scale operations and engagement in line with accelerating demand for MagnetOs, with an immersive experience for surgeons, partners, and investors—highlighting the science, innovation, and clinical impact of MagnetOs in an engaging environment.
Net operating costs
Cost of goods sold amounted to USD 7.1 million in H1 2025 (H1 2024: USD 3.9 million) of which USD 0.9 million (H1 2024: USD 0.9 million) relate to the amortization of capitalized R&D.
Net operating costs from continuing operations amounted to USD 52.8 million in H1 2025, compared to USD 32.0 million in the prior year period. Sales and marketing costs increased from USD 20.7 million in H1 2024 to USD 37.4 million in H1 2025, primarily driven by an expanded sales force and higher sales and distribution expenses, in line with the Group's continued commercial expansion. The increase also reflects the initial investments to penetrate the extremities and international markets, supporting future revenue growth and a broader market reach. Research and development costs of continuing operations increased from USD 3.6 million in H1 2024 to USD 4.3 million in H1 2025. This is primarily driven by increased R&D activities, clinical trial expenditures, and higher personnel expenses due to an increase in headcount, reflecting the Group's ongoing commitment to innovation to support long-term growth. General and administrative costs increased from USD 7.8 million in H1 2024 to USD 11.1 million in H1 2025. The increase was mainly driven by the scaling up of back-office functions and building the digital infrastructure to support business growth.
Operating profit/ (loss) and group net result
The operating profit from continuing operations amounted to USD 3.5 million (H1 2024: operating loss from continuing operations of USD (0.2) million). After accounting for the net finance result, income tax and the profit/loss from discontinued operations, the Group reported a net loss of USD (2.0) million in H1 2025 (H1 2024: USD (0.2) million).
Financial position and other assets
Cash and cash equivalents amounted to USD 18.4 million as of H1 2025 (December 31, 2024: USD 19.8 million). The decrease in cash balance compared to year-end 2024 is mainly attributable to ongoing investments in growth initiatives and working capital to support rising demand. Funds available (including trade and other receivables) for financing the operations of Kuros amounted to USD 45.3 million as of H1 2025. This is an increase of USD 7.8 million from USD 37.5 million as of December 31, 2024.
As of H1 2025, total intangible assets amounted to USD 17.6 million (2024: USD 16.4 million) and goodwill amounted to USD 24.2 million (2024: USD 21.3 million).
Outlook
Kuros expects MagnetOs to continue its strong growth trajectory in the spine and extremity segments, gaining further market share in the U.S., Europe and the rest of the world, and launching in additional countries. The company remains sufficiently financed to support its planned organic growth path and continues to expect robust sales growth of at least 60% in 2025. Based on the solid performance in the first half of the year, Kuros is anticipating sales of USD 220 to 250 million by 2027, reflecting its commitment to long-term value creation through innovation, market share gains, and customer satisfaction.

Growing bone with MagnetOsTM gives surgeons confidence where it matters most – delivering predictable fusion outcomes.2 In a Level I human clinical study published in Spine, MagnetOs achieved nearly twice the fusion rate (79% vs. 47%) of autograft in posterolateral fusions (PLFs).2 Among active smokers – who made up 1 in 5 patients – the fusion difference between MagnetOs and autograft was even more dramatic.**†2,3 MagnetOs grows bone on its own thanks to NeedleGripTM – a proprietary submicron surface technology that harnesses the immune system to stimulate bone growth, without added cells or growth factors.‡§4-9 Ready-to-use, easy to mold, and reliably staying put10, MagnetOs carries no intrinsic risk of human tissue-related disease transmission and is FDA cleared for use throughout the spine, including interbody procedures. ¶6-9
