Adagio Medical Holdings, Inc. (ADGM)·Q3 2025 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Q3 showed strong clinical and regulatory execution (FULCRUM‑VT enrollment completed; preliminary 97% acute effectiveness), and a post‑quarter financing up to $50M (≈$19M upfront) to fund PMA submission and next‑gen catheter development; offset by a deeper net loss primarily driven by non‑operating fair value adjustments and interest expense .
- Expenses mixed: SG&A fell sharply year over year while R&D rose modestly; operating loss was roughly stable vs Q2 but net loss widened q/q due to negative mark‑to‑market items on convert and warrants plus higher interest .
- No revenue recognized in Q3; cash fell to $4.7M at quarter‑end, but liquidity strengthened in October via the private placement to support PMA submission preparations .
- Stock reaction catalyst: completed enrollment with favorable preliminary data, FDA PMA pathway clarity, and fresh capital raise; potential near‑term attention around PMA filing timing and U.S. launch readiness .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Completed enrollment (209 patients) in FULCRUM‑VT pivotal IDE, intended to support PMA for vCLAS; preliminary FULCRUM‑VT results showed 97% acute effectiveness with favorable safety profile .
- Strengthened balance sheet post‑quarter with private placement up to $50M (≈$19M upfront; up to $31M additional via warrants) to fund FDA submission activities and next‑gen development .
- Leadership depth: appointment of Deborah Kaster as CFO (also CBO), supporting finance and commercialization readiness. CEO: “The successful completion of our financing provides the resources to advance our PMA submission for the vCLAS System and prepare for commercialization.” .
What Went Wrong
- No revenue recognized in Q3; cost of revenue down to $31K but operating model remains pre‑commercial; net loss widened to $(10.1)M vs $(4.6)M y/y and vs $(3.9)M in Q2, driven largely by non‑operating fair value losses and interest expense .
- Cash decreased to $4.673M at 9/30 before the October raise, underscoring reliance on external financing through PMA and pre‑launch phase .
- Continued R&D investment (to progress PMA and next‑gen) lifted R&D to $2.774M in Q3 (up vs prior year), while non‑cash convertible notes and warrant liability adjustments introduced P&L volatility .

Clear Implications
- The operating P&L remains pre‑revenue and levered to non‑cash valuation swings (convertible notes/warrants) and interest; near‑term reported EPS will be volatile until financing structure normalizes and commercialization begins .
- Execution risk pivots from enrollment to PMA quality, FDA review, and launch readiness; October capital reduces near‑term financing overhang for submission and next‑gen workstreams .
- Positive preliminary clinical data and Breakthrough Designation underpin a differentiated profile in VT ablation; investors will focus on PMA timing, U.S. labeling scope, and early commercialization strategy .

Capital and Liquidity Progression
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Clinical/regulatory execution de‑risked: pivotal enrollment completed with favorable preliminary efficacy/safety; next catalyst is PMA submission quality and timing .
- Liquidity strengthened post‑quarter with ~$19M upfront; watch cash burn into PMA and pre‑launch and any warrant‑driven proceeds timing .
- P&L volatility likely persists near term due to non‑cash fair value swings (convert/warrants) and interest; operating loss profile reflects focused R&D and leaner SG&A .
- No revenue yet; U.S. commercialization remains the inflection—CE mark and European use provide external validation while U.S. approval is pending .
- Stock catalysts: PMA submission/acceptance, panel/review milestones, any early commercialization updates, and next‑gen device progress leveraging the financing .
- Estimate revisions: With limited coverage and no formal guidance, models should emphasize cash runway, PMA timeline, regulatory probabilities, and staged commercialization adoption curves .
- Competitive positioning: Purpose‑built ULTC technology and Breakthrough Designation may confer an early‑mover advantage in VT ablation if PMA is secured with a broad label .
