American Shared Hospital Services Reports Mixed 2025 Results Amid Strategic Shift to Direct Patient Care

American Shared Hospital Services reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2025, highlighting a year of transition marked by a strategic expansion of its direct patient care services segment and challenges in its equipment leasing business. The company announced a seven-year extension of its proton therapy lease agreement with Orlando Health through 2033, underscoring a key long-term partnership.

For the full year 2025, total revenue was $28.1 million, a slight decrease from $28.3 million in 2024. The company reported a net loss attributable to American Shared Hospital Services of $1.6 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.2 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, in the prior year. Revenue performance was mixed across service lines. LINAC (linear accelerator) revenue grew 35.4% year-over-year to $11.5 million, driven by the company’s expanded network of stand-alone radiation therapy centers. However, Gamma Knife revenue declined 5.5% to $9.2 million, and Proton Beam Radiation Therapy (PBRT) revenue fell 26.0% to $7.4 million.

The financial results reflect the company’s ongoing strategic shift. ‘Our strategic shift toward direct patient care services strengthens our long-term growth potential and creates more stable revenue streams,’ stated Executive Chairman Ray Stachowiak. Revenue from the direct patient care services segment increased 23.7% year-over-year to $15.5 million for the full year, now representing the majority of total revenue. This growth was primarily driven by the first full year of operations from three radiation therapy centers in Rhode Island and the company’s center in Puebla, Mexico. LINAC treatment sessions more than doubled to 28,147 in 2025 from 14,662 in 2024.

Conversely, the medical equipment leasing segment faced headwinds. Revenue from leasing declined to $12.6 million for 2025 from $15.6 million in 2024. This decrease was attributed to the expiration of three Gamma Knife customer agreements and lower PBRT volumes, which the company described as normal cyclical fluctuations. Despite the overall decline in Gamma Knife procedures, same-center procedure volumes increased 11.3% following equipment upgrades that expanded treatment capabilities. The company highlighted the completion of a Gamma Knife Esprit upgrade at its facility in Lima, Peru, which positions the center for improved capabilities.

A significant announcement was the seven-year lease extension with Orlando Health for the company’s Proton Beam Radiation Therapy System. Chief Executive Officer Gary Delanois noted, ‘Our longstanding partnership of over two decades with Orlando Health highlights the long-term nature of the Company’s relationships.’ The company’s website provides further information at https://www.ashs.com.

The company’s balance sheet showed $3.7 million in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025, down from $11.3 million at the end of 2024, due largely to capital expenditures. American Shared Hospital Services reported that certain financial covenants under its credit facility were not met as of year-end and that it is engaged in discussions with its lender. Shareholders’ equity was $24.0 million, or $3.66 per outstanding share.

Looking ahead, leadership emphasized growth initiatives. These include Certificate of Need approvals for new treatment centers in Bristol and Johnston, Rhode Island. ‘These efforts, combined with momentum in our Rhode Island operations and our growing international business, position us well to deliver value to patients, partners, and shareholders in 2026 and beyond,’ Stachowiak said. The company also anticipates contributions from a new Esprit system at its Guadalajara, Mexico Gamma Knife center.
