Q2 2025 earnings summary18 Aug, 2025

Executive summary

  • Achieved net income of $40.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to a net loss of $50.8 million in the prior year period, driven by milestone payments and reduced operating expenses after transferring manufacturing to Pierre Fabre.

  • FDA accepted BLA filing for tab-cel with Priority Review; PDUFA target date set for January 10, 2026.

  • Completed transfer of all manufacturing, clinical, and development responsibilities for tab-cel to Pierre Fabre, who now covers global commercialization and development costs.

  • Paused allogeneic CAR T cell programs and discontinued related operations, focusing resources on tab-cel and strategic priorities.

  • Board resumed review of strategic alternatives, including potential mergers, acquisitions, or asset sales, following tab-cel BLA resubmission.

Financial highlights

  • Commercialization revenue was $115.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, up from $56.0 million year-over-year, primarily due to milestone payments and transfer of manufacturing to Pierre Fabre.

  • Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments totaled $22.3 million as of June 30, 2025, up from $13.8 million at March 31, 2025, but down from $42.5 million at year-end 2024.

  • Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $40.4 million; Q2 2025 net income was $2.4 million, compared to losses in prior periods.

  • Operating expenses and R&D costs dropped significantly due to workforce reductions and transfer of activities to Pierre Fabre.

  • No shares were sold under the ATM facility in the first half of 2025; $88.7 million remains available for future sales.

Outlook and guidance

  • Cash and short-term investments, combined with an anticipated $40 million milestone payment upon tab-cel BLA approval, are expected to provide significant runway, but management notes substantial doubt about the ability to fund operations for at least 12 months without additional capital.

  • Eligible for double-digit tiered royalties and $40 million milestone payment upon FDA approval of tab-cel BLA.

  • Full-year 2025 operating expenses expected to decrease by at least 60% versus 2024.

  • Ongoing review of strategic alternatives, including potential mergers, acquisitions, or other transactions, with no assurance of outcome.

  • Anticipates continued losses after 2025 as development and regulatory activities persist.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
