WOBURN, Mass., Sept. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Biofrontera Inc. (Nasdaq: BFRI) (“Biofrontera” or the “Company”), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development and commercialization of photodynamic therapy (PDT), today announced that the final patient completed the active treatment phase of its Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Ameluz® (10% 5-aminolevulinic acid hydrochloride gel) PDT for mild to moderate actinic keratoses (AKs) on the extremities, neck and trunk on September 3, 2025. All 172 enrolled patients have now entered the 12-month follow-up phase, expected to conclude in Q2 2026.

I maintain my buy rating on PDT, as its multi-asset strategy delivers attractive income and outperforms traditional peers, despite limited capital appreciation. PDT offers a compelling 7.4% yield, monthly distributions, and currently trades at a 4.2% discount to NAV, making it appealing for income-focused investors. Distribution coverage is inconsistent year-to-year, but the fund's ability to generate multi-year payouts in strong periods supports ongoing high distributions.

Caring about dividends can increase our returns, but caring about NAV can save our portfolio. Return and NAV protection must go hand in hand, because there can be no sustainable return without protecting the value of the underlying assets. As far as I am concerned, the way to protect my portfolio is to favor only securities with a positive NAV over time.

PDT offers reliable, tax-efficient income and capital preservation, making it a strong choice for retirement-focused investors seeking stability and monthly payouts. The fund trades at a 2.8% discount to NAV, presenting an attractive entry point, though higher interest rates and leverage pose growth risks. PDT's portfolio emphasizes income-generating sectors like Financials and Utilities, with a blend of common stocks, preferreds, and bonds for diversification.

PDT offers a 7.57% annualized forward yield with monthly distributions but carries a high 5.25% expense ratio. The fund is heavily focused on midcap value equities, with an overweight equity position in utilities. The use of leverage adds an extra layer of risks investors must be aware of, including amplified performance and interest rate sensitivity.
