- Sales of rhCollagen and bioinks primed for augmentation following new U.S.-based commercial executive hire -

- Raised $3.6 million in registered direct offering in second quarter - 

REHOVOT, Israel , Aug. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- CollPlant Biotechnologies (Nasdaq: CLGN), a regenerative and aesthetics medicine company developing innovative technologies and products based on its non-animal-derived, rhCollagen for tissue regeneration and medical aesthetics, today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2025 and provided a corporate update.

Yehiel Tal, CollPlant's Chief Executive Officer commented, "In recent months, CollPlant has been making strong progress with its photocurable dermal and soft tissue filler program, completing additional testing and preparing for the clinical phase. The product's superior skin-lifting, tissue-rejuvenation, and contouring capabilities have generated strong interest from leading medical aesthetics companies. We also continued to advance our regenerative breast implant program and expand distribution for our rhCollagen and bioink products in key markets. These efforts will now be led by our newly appointed, U.S.-based Head of Commercial Operations for North America."Mr. Tal continued, "To support these initiatives, we raised a modest amount of capital this quarter, providing financial flexibility while pursuing a long-term, non-dilutive transaction to drive shareholder value."

Second Quarter and Recent Highlights

Photocurable Dermal Filler Program Advancing Toward Clinical Stage

CollPlant continued to advance its photocurable dermal filler program in preclinical testing. Designed not only for superior skin lifting, this next-generation filler also promotes skin rejuvenation and enables precise facial contouring — aimed to meet the growing demand for innovative aesthetic solutions.

The program is now in the final stages of preclinical testing, with production scale-up underway, as CollPlant prepares to initiate clinical studies.

AbbVie Collaboration

In February 2025, CollPlant received a $2 million milestone payment from its partner, AbbVie, upon achieving a key development milestone under the companies' existing development and commercialization agreement.

Per this agreement, CollPlant has granted AbbVie a worldwide exclusive license to combine its proprietary recombinant human collagen (rhCollagen) technology with AbbVie's technologies for the development and commercialization of dermal and soft tissue filler products. The lead dermal filler candidate is now in the clinical phase and AbbVie is collecting data and conducting a review of interim results from the first cohort of patients enrolled under the trials initiated in 2023 and next steps for the program are to be determined by AbbVie upon concluding their assessment.

CollPlant's Regenerative Breast Implants: Addressing a Multi-Billion-Dollar Market with First-in-Class Technology

CollPlant is advancing the development of regenerative breast implants made from its proprietary, plant-derived recombinant human collagen (rhCollagen) and other biocompatible materials.

Produced using CollPlant's rhCollagen-based bioinks, these next-generation implants are designed to naturally regenerate breast tissue, avoid immune rejection, and offer a safer, more durable alternative for both aesthetic augmentation and post-mastectomy reconstruction.

Large Unmet Need: In the U.S. alone, hundreds of thousands of women undergo breast implant procedures annually, with many facing complications such as autoimmune reactions and, in rare cases, BIA-ALCL. There is currently no commercial solution that enables soft tissue regeneration in the breast — positioning CollPlant to be first-to-market with a transformative solution.

Strong Preclinical Progress

• Successfully 3D bioprinted 200cc commercial-size implants with enhanced durability

• Demonstrated vascularization, rapid tissue ingrowth, and early biodegradation while maintaining structure

• No adverse tissue reactions observed

• Refined surgical protocol for small-incision implantation and reduced complication risk

• MRI and ultrasound in early 2025 confirmed tissue integration and vascularization

Next Steps: Continue implant optimization for long-term tissue remodeling and durability to support future clinical development.

CollPlant's regenerative breast implant program represents a paradigm shift in a multi-billion-dollar global market, with the potential to capture a significant share by delivering a safer, more natural, and longer-lasting alternative to existing implants.

Non-Core Commercial Programs

CollPlant is expanding its international distribution network for Vergenix™ STR, a tendon-repair product that combines the Company's proprietary rhCollagen technology with platelet-rich plasma (PRP).

Vergenix™ STR is designed to treat multiple forms of tendinopathy by promoting tendon healing and repair at sites including the elbow ("tennis elbow"), rotator cuff, patellar tendon, Achilles tendon, and cases of plantar fasciitis. The product has successfully completed clinical trials, holds CE Mark approval, and is currently marketed primarily in Europe.

In February 2025, CollPlant entered new markets for Vergenix™ STR in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg (Benelux), Spain, India, and Turkey. Through the remainder of 2025 and into 2026, the Company plans to further broaden the product's presence across key markets in Europe and Asia.

Corporate Updates

In April 2025, CollPlant issued commentary in response to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA)'s groundbreaking step announced to advance public health by replacing animal testing in the development of monoclonal antibody therapies and other drug candidates with more effective, human-relevant methods. Importantly, CollPlant's Collink.3D^® portfolio of rhCollagen-based BioInk products can be utilized for the biofabrication of tissue or organ-on-a-chip systems, which serve as alternatives to animal testing. These systems can expedite the gap between benchtop studies and clinical trials, as well as be more economical and enable a reduced time to market.

In May, CollPlant announced a registered direct offering of its ordinary shares and concurrent private placement of warrants that resulted in gross proceeds of $3.6 million. The offering closed successfully in June.

In June, CollPlant announced the expansion of its agreement with STEMCELL Technologies, a biotechnology company that develops and supplies specialized cell culture media, tools, and services to support research in stem cell biology, regenerative medicine, immunology, and related life sciences. The amended agreement broadens the use of CollPlant's rhCollagen, extending beyond research applications to include clinical development and commercial-scale manufacturing.

In July, CollPlant announced the appointment of Bowman Bagley as Vice President, Commercial North America. In this newly created role, Mr. Bagley is leading the company's commercial strategy and execution in North America, including sales and marketing, logistics, and expansion of market presence for CollPlant's rhCollagen-based products and platforms.

Mr. Tal continued, "We are highly encouraged by the strong results from our preclinical studies with commercial-size regenerative breast implants and are continuing follow-up evaluations. In the coming months, we look forward to sharing additional data on our photocurable product candidate. Across all programs, we are making steady progress and remain proud to lead the global shift toward non-animal-derived collagen solutions that are shaping the future of medicine."
