Annovis Bio, Inc. (ANVS)·Q2 2025 Earnings Summary

Executive Summary

  • Annovis reported Q2 2025 net loss per share of $0.32, better than Wall Street consensus by ~$0.08 (actual -$0.32 vs. consensus -$0.40*) and an improvement vs. Q2 2024 (-$0.44) .
  • Clinical execution advanced: 76 U.S. sites secured (46 actively enrolling), 38 patients dosed, and nearly 200 patients in screening with ~50% screen failure rate, underscoring momentum in the pivotal Phase 3 AD program .
  • Balance sheet remained adequate for near-term operations: cash was $17.1M at 6/30/2025 (down from $22.2M at 3/31/2025; up from $10.6M at 12/31/2024); the company previously guided cash runway into Q4 2025 post offering .
  • Key catalysts: Phase 3 AD enrollment updates and AAIC data flow; IP strengthened via full transfer of all patent families to the new crystal form of buntanetap (coverage extends to 2046); NYSE accepted plan to regain listing compliance—monitor plan execution and enrollment pace as stock drivers .

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well

  • Accelerating pivotal AD trial execution: “76 secured clinical sites… 46 currently enrolling… 38 patients already receiving buntanetap or placebo and nearly 200 more in screening,” providing tangible proof points on trial momentum .
  • IP defensibility improved: all patent families transferred to crystal buntanetap, providing comprehensive global coverage for both original and new forms with protection through 2046 .
  • Operating discipline: R&D ($5.2M) and G&A ($1.1M) declined y/y, and EPS loss narrowed to $0.32 from $0.44 y/y, reflecting lower OpEx and higher interest income .

What Went Wrong

  • Cash declined sequentially ($22.2M → $17.1M) as clinical spend continued; while still adequate near term, liquidity remains a watch item until additional financing or partnerships materialize .
  • Ongoing listing standard pressure: NYSE accepted the company’s plan to regain compliance; execution against the plan and market cap recovery are critical .
  • Still pre-revenue and loss-making ($6.22M net loss in Q2), with inherent biotech development risks and timeline to pivotal readouts (symptomatic mid-2026; disease-modifying mid-2027) .

Management Commentary

  • “Our efforts were centered on driving enrollment for the pivotal Phase 3 trial in early AD… 76 secured clinical sites… over 400 patients screened… we reached other notable milestones, including… completing the transfer of all patent families to crystal buntanetap.” — Maria Maccecchini, Ph.D., President & CEO .
  • “With full IP protection now in place for both forms of buntanetap, we are well-positioned to continue its development and fully explore its therapeutic potential… opens doors to possible pipeline expansions and broader clinical applications.” — Maria Maccecchini, Ph.D., President & CEO .
  • “We look forward to providing continued updates on the current trial and other initiatives we have planned for this year.” — Melissa Gaines, SVP, Clinical Operations (Q1 update) .

Q&A Highlights

  • No public Q2 2025 earnings call transcript was available in our document set; therefore, no Q&A details or guidance clarifications could be extracted from a call transcript. Company communications for the quarter consisted of press releases and corporate updates .

Estimates Context

  • EPS beat: Q2 2025 EPS of $(0.32) vs. S&P Global consensus of $(0.403), a ~$0.08 beat; Q1 2025 also beat $(0.32) vs. $(0.377)*. Actuals from company filings, estimates from S&P Global .
  • Revenue: Pre-revenue profile consistent with consensus at $0 for Q1 and Q2 2025*.
  • Implications: With no revenue and net losses ongoing, estimate revisions hinge on OpEx cadence and enrollment milestones. Faster enrollment can de-risk timelines and modestly lower per-patient overhead assumptions, but financing path and listing compliance can influence cost-of-capital assumptions in models .

AD Phase 3 sites securedNot disclosed; trial launched and sites activating 76 secured
Active enrolling sitesNot disclosed 46 enrolling
Patients dosedNot disclosed 38 dosed

Additional Relevant Disclosures (Q2 2025 window)

  • AAIC 2025 participation with four posters (trial design; dual 6/18-month paradigm; PK characterization of semi-crystalline vs. crystalline buntanetap) .
  • NYSE acceptance of plan to regain listing compliance; 18-month plan period from March 26, 2025 notice .
  • Patent portfolio: completed transfer to crystal buntanetap; global coverage to 2046 .

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Execution momentum: Enrollment metrics (sites, dosing, screening) point to tangible progress that can de-risk the mid-2026 symptomatic readout path if sustained .
  • IP moat improved: Completed patent transfers to the crystal form with protection through 2046 strengthens long-term option value and partnering discussions .
  • Financials stable but watched: Sequential cash draw from $22.2M to $17.1M reflects steady OpEx; prior guidance pointed to runway into Q4 2025—monitor financing/BD catalysts .
  • Listing overhang: NYSE accepted the remediation plan; continued compliance milestones are important for investor confidence and liquidity .
  • EPS beats despite pre-revenue status: Q2 and Q1 2025 both beat S&P Global consensus on EPS*, aided by disciplined OpEx and interest income; estimate paths remain mostly a function of OpEx and trial cadence .
  • Near-term catalysts: enrollment updates, AAIC visibility, and any regulatory/BD updates could move sentiment and the stock .
  • Risk posture: Binary clinical readouts (symptomatic mid-2026; disease-modifying mid-2027) and financing needs dominate risk/reward—position sizing should reflect clinical and capital market risks .
