Sonendo, Inc. on Path to Breakeven in the Second Half of 2026
LAGUNA HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Sonendo, Inc. (“Sonendo” or the “Company”), a leading dental technology company and developer of the GentleWave® System, today reported select preliminary financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025 and other business updates.
Select Financial Updates1
Generated $28.6 million of total revenue for the full year of 2025, including $23.4 million, or approximately 82%, from recurring sales of procedure-related consumables and services;
Reported an increase in gross margin to 41.9% for the full year of 2025, up 460 basis points compared to 2024;
Significantly reduced loss from operations to $13.5 million in 2025 from loss of $29.4 million in 2024, and adjusted EBITDA2 loss to $10.4 million in 2025 from loss of $23.0 million in 2024, driven by improved operational efficiencies;
Significantly reduced free cash flow burn2 to $10.9 million in 2025 from $24.8 million in 2024; and
The Company expects to achieve positive free cash flow2 and positive adjusted EBITDA2 in the second half of 2026.
On November 17, 2025, Sonendo entered into a strategic collaboration with a European-based dental company and secured exclusive rights to sell high-quality products in North America. This collaboration enables Sonendo to offer a comprehensive suite of endodontic consumable products, complementing its existing portfolio solutions and enhancing its ability to meet the full range of customer needs. The Company expects this strategic collaboration to bring significant cost savings to GentleWave customers, drive more demand for the GentleWave Procedure, and support Sonendo’s revenue and gross margin growth.
As the first step of this strategic collaboration, Sonendo launched FlowLogic™ endodontic files in the first quarter of 2026. Sonendo expects FlowLogic files to compete with the best performing endodontic files in the industry, while offered to GentleWave customers at a significant discount.
“I'm pleased to report continued strong execution on our path to profitability. Through disciplined operational improvements, we significantly reduced operating expenses while driving greater efficiencies across the organization. This contributed to a meaningful improvement in our adjusted EBITDA performance. At the same time, we successfully maintained our revenue base, demonstrating the resilience of our core business and the value our GentleWave Procedure continues to deliver to endodontists and their patients. More than 1.9 million patients have been treated with the GentleWave System so far,” said Bjarne Bergheim, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sonendo. “We further strengthened our portfolio by adding high-quality ancillary products. This strategic addition enables us to provide a more complete suite of endodontic consumables, which we believe will substantially lower the cost per root canal procedure for our customers—enhancing their practice economics while expanding our addressable market and supporting long-term revenue growth.”
About Sonendo
Sonendo is a commercial-stage medical technology Company focused on saving teeth from tooth decay, the most prevalent chronic disease globally. Sonendo develops and manufactures the GentleWave System, an innovative technology platform designed to treat tooth decay by cleaning and disinfecting the microscopic spaces within teeth without the need to remove tooth structure. The system utilizes a proprietary mechanism of action, which combines procedure fluid optimization, broad-spectrum acoustic energy and advanced fluid dynamics, to debride and disinfect deep regions of the complex root canal system in a less invasive procedure that preserves tooth structure. The clinical benefits of the GentleWave System when compared to conventional methods of root canal therapy include improved clinical outcomes, such as superior cleaning that is independent of root canal complexity and tooth anatomy, high and rapid rates of healing and minimal to no post-operative pain. In addition, the GentleWave System can improve the workflow and economics of dental practices.

Bon chance! Mon ami
To evaluate whether a private placement financing is legitimate or predatory, investors should assess transparency, terms, and alignment of interests. Here’s how to distinguish between beneficial and harmful offerings:
Red Flags of Predatory Private Placements
Lack of Transparency
Missing or vague financial statements, undisclosed fees, or refusal to provide an audited balance sheet or income statement.
No clear explanation of how funds will be used or overly broad claims (e.g., "general corporate purposes").
Unrealistic Promises
Guaranteed returns, "risk-free" claims, or pressure to invest quickly without time for due diligence.
Overly complex structures (e.g., toxic convertible notes with aggressive conversion terms that dilute existing shareholders).
Regulatory Issues
Issuers or promoters with disciplinary histories (e.g., barred from securities industries).
Use of Regulation D exemptions without proper accreditation checks or misuse of exemptions to bypass investor protections.
Misaligned Incentives
Excessive upfront fees or compensation tied to fundraising success rather than long-term performance.
Aggressive sales tactics targeting financially vulnerable investors.
Positive Indicators of Legitimate Offerings
Comprehensive Documentation
A Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) detailing business operations, risks, financials, and use of proceeds.
Audited financial statements and verifiable track records of management.
Investor Protections
Clear alignment with accredited investor criteria (e.g., income or asset thresholds).
Reasonable valuation metrics and terms that avoid excessive dilution (e.g., fixed conversion prices for equity-linked securities).
Regulatory Compliance
Proper SEC filings (e.g., Form D) and adherence to exchange rules for public companies conducting private placements.
Transparent communication about risks, including market volatility and liquidity constraints.
Steps for Investor Due Diligence
Verify Credentials: Check the issuer’s regulatory history using tools like FINRA’s BrokerCheck or the BCSC’s InvestRight.org.
Scrutinize Financials: Demand audited statements and cross-reference claims with independent sources.
Understand Terms: Avoid deals with hidden fees, short repayment windows, or punitive conversion mechanisms.
Consult Advisors: Engage legal or financial experts to review the PPM and term sheets.
By prioritizing transparency, regulatory compliance, and investor alignment, stakeholders can mitigate risks in private placements
