announced today its results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. The Company also reported early progress under

top priority in the first 90 days was to swiftly gain commercial-related efficiencies, reduce our operating expenses, reduce our outstanding
liabilities, and strengthen our overall financial footing," commented Mike Buhle, who was appointed Chief Executive Officer of
Aspira in January 2025. He went on to say:
less than three months, we significantly improved sales productivity while increasing our gross profit by nearly 30%. We are confident
we can continue to improve our margins in the coming quarters and remain energized by the strategic cost efficiencies we are implementing
across our operating model."
addition to improving our operational efficiencies, we remain focused on executing an aggressive research and development timeline for
ENDOInform . We remain committed to our R&D milestones and expect to provide material updates on this project by the end of
2025," concluded Mr. Buhle.
Aspira Women's Health Inc.
Women's Health Inc. is dedicated to the discovery, development, and commercialization of noninvasive, AI-powered tests to aid in
the diagnosis of gynecologic diseases. OvaWatch and Ova1Plus are offered to clinicians as OvaSuiteSM.
Together, they provide the only comprehensive portfolio of blood tests to aid in the detection of ovarian cancer risk for the 1.2+ million
American women diagnosed with an adnexal mass each year.
provides a negative predictive value of 99% and is used to assess ovarian cancer risk for women where initial clinical assessment indicates
the mass is indeterminate or benign, and thus surgery may be premature or unnecessary. Ova1Plus is a reflex process of two FDA-cleared
tests, Ova1 and Overa , to assess the risk of ovarian malignancy in women with an adnexal mass planned for surgery.
in-development test pipeline will expand our ovarian cancer portfolio and address the tremendous need for non-invasive diagnostics for
endometriosis, a debilitating disease that impacts millions of women worldwide. In ovarian cancer, we intend to combine microRNA and
protein biomarkers with patient data to further enhance the sensitivity and specificity of our current tests. In endometriosis, we have
developed the first-ever non-invasive test designed to identify endometriomas, one of the most commonly occurring forms of severe endometriosis.
Through our ongoing endometriosis development program, we are combining microRNA and protein biomarkers with patient data, with the intent
of identifying all endometriosis independent of disease location or severity.
