Retractable Technologies, Inc. Results for the Period Ended March 31, 2026
May 15, 2026 4:19 PM
Business Wire
Retractable Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American: RVP) reports total net sales of $7.2 million for the first three months of 2026 and an operating loss of $6.2 million for the period, as compared to total net sales for the same period last year of $8.3 million and an operating loss of $4.7 million.
In the first quarter of 2026, a larger proportion of international sales and an increase in EasyPoint® needle sales contributed to lower overall revenues despite unit sales increasing slightly.
In the first three months of 2026, we spent less than $12 thousand on tariff expenses, a large decrease compared to prior periods. The decrease is attributable to ongoing mitigation efforts, including strategic sourcing decisions and increased domestic production. We produced 39% of our products domestically in the first quarter of 2026.
In the first quarter of 2026, operating expenses increased 14% or $655 thousand. However, approximately $900 thousand of our operating expenses in the first quarter 2026 are attributable to non-recurring consulting expenses and charitable product donations.
In April 2026, the Company reduced its workforce by approximately 16%. The reduction is expected to save an estimated $2.2 million in annual wages and employment benefits, or approximately 13% of total estimated workforce costs. The expected savings are offset by one-time separation payments of approximately $122 thousand to the affected workers.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, our net loss was $4.2 million.
Retractable reports the following results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Further details concerning the results of operations, as well as other matters, are available in Retractable’s Form 10-Q filed on May 15, 2026 with the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission.
Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025
Domestic sales accounted for 82.9% and 89.6% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Domestic revenues decreased 20.0%, while domestic unit sales decreased 11.5%. Domestic unit sales represented 72.1% of total unit sales for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 84.9% for the same period last year. The decrease in sales was not proportional to the decrease in unit sales, primarily due to a decrease in average selling price, which was due to change in product mix and higher transaction costs associated with distributor agreements.
International revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased 42.4% compared to the same period in 2025. The increase in international sales was primarily driven by increase in EasyPoint® needle sales. Traditionally, international sales carry lower average selling prices compared to our domestic sales. There remains uncertainty regarding the timing of future international orders.
Overall, units sales increased 3.6%.
Cost of manufactured product decreased 3.1% compared to the same period last year primarily due to a decrease in freight and tariff expense. Royalty expense decreased 7.0% due to the decrease in gross sales.
Tariffs may continue to materially impact our costs in future periods. Approximately $11.6 thousand was spent on tariff expenses in the first quarter of 2026. The reduction in tariff costs compared to prior periods is attributable to ongoing mitigation efforts, including strategic sourcing decisions and increased domestic production. These costs are included in Cost of manufactured product.
Operating expenses increased 14.0% primarily due to increased donation expense.
The loss from operations was $6.2 million compared to a loss of approximately $4.7 million for the same period last year. The increase in loss from operations was primarily driven by negative gross margin for the period and higher donation expense.
The unrealized gain on debt and equity securities was $192 thousand for the three month period ended March 31, 2026 due to the increased market values of those securities. In contrast, there was a material unrealized loss on debt and equity securities of $7.2 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2025.
The provision for income taxes was $1.8 thousand as compared to a benefit for income taxes of $286 thousand for the same period in 2025. The change is primarily due to a decrease in net loss in the current period.

Retractable Technologies, Inc. Announces Workforce Reduction
April 9, 2026 5:46 PM
Business Wire
Retractable Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American: RVP) reports that it has reduced its workforce by approximately 16%. The reduction is expected to save an estimated $2.2 million in annual wages and employment benefits, or approximately 13% of total estimated workforce costs. The expected savings are offset by estimated one-time separation payments of approximately $122 thousand to the affected workers. Approximately 58% of the targeted payroll reduction affects manufacturing or manufacturing support positions and the remainder of the reductions affects sales and sales support roles.
The move comes as the Company continues to strengthen its domestic production capabilities and increase manufacturing efficiencies, reducing its reliance on importing products from its contract manufacturers in China. While contract manufacturers in China have historically produced most of the products the Company sells, the financial impact of tariffs on imports from China has caused the Company to increase its domestic production where practical in order to mitigate the cost of importing. While the increase in domestic manufacturing lessens the negative financial impact of tariffs, the Company is still reliant on Chinese imports for products we are unable to produce with our current manufacturing equipment.

Retractable Technologies, Inc. Reports Results for 2025
March 27, 2026 5:04 PM
Business Wire
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.
