Azitra, Inc. (AZTR)·Q3 2025 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Q3 2025 EPS of $-0.67 vs consensus $-0.775*, a modest beat driven by lower G&A and stable R&D; revenue remained $0, consistent with development-stage status .
- Net loss was $2.76M vs $2.89M in Q2 and $1.01M in Q3 2024; YoY widening reflects the lack of prior-year non-cash other income (warrant fair value) while operating expenses declined YoY .
- Liquidity improved to $1.40M cash at 9/30/25 (from $1.05M at 6/30), aided by $2.8M gross proceeds raised via the Alumni Capital equity line; but NYSE American non‑compliance notice underscores listing risk and the need for further financing .
- Near‑term catalysts: ATR-04 Phase 1/2 execution (first patient dosed), ATR-12 Phase 1b topline now targeted for Q1 2026, and ATR-01 preclinical progress; misreport about a $44M offering was publicly refuted .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- First patient dosed in ATR‑04 Phase 1/2 (EGFRi rash), validating operational execution; CEO: “impactful period… continued to progress our live biotherapeutic programs” .
- Positive preclinical ATR‑01 data (functional filaggrin delivery, ex vivo activity) presented at BIO‑Europe, supporting pipeline breadth .
- Cash position improved sequentially to $1.40M, supported by $2.8M raised via equity line; demonstrates access to incremental capital .
What Went Wrong
- Net loss widened YoY to $2.76M vs $1.01M due to lower other income vs prior year; EPS deteriorated YoY to $-0.67 vs $-1.14 (share count effects present) .
- NYSE American non‑compliance notice (stockholders’ equity threshold) increases listing risk and implies need for a compliance plan by April 2027 .
- Publicly refuted false report of a $44M registered direct offering—noise that can add volatility and investor uncertainty .

Estimates Context
Values marked with * retrieved from S&P Global.
Where estimates may need to adjust:
- Modest EPS beat may nudge near‑term EPS estimates toward less negative loss per share if OpEx remains contained; revenue expectations remain at zero given development stage .
- Target price consensus appears stable at $3.7* amid early‑stage pipeline and listing considerations.
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Execution milestone: ATR‑04 first patient dosed; watch early safety/tolerability and any efficacy signal as potential stock catalysts .
- ATR‑12 topline now targeted for Q1 2026 (vs YE 2025 prior), re‑calibrates catalyst timing; valuation may hinge on clarity of Phase 1b outcomes .
- Liquidity improved sequentially and equity line access helps near‑term funding, but small cash balance and NYSE non‑compliance require continued capital discipline and plan execution .
- Q3 EPS beat vs consensus was driven by leaner operating expenses; sustainability of OpEx levels is key to near‑term loss trajectory .
- No revenue yet; thesis is pipeline‑centric—monitor ATR‑04 clinical progress and ATR‑01 preclinical-to-IND path for multi‑asset optionality .
- Corporate communication proactively addressed false financing rumor; reduces headline risk but highlights sensitivity to capital markets narratives .
- Near‑term trading implications: news‑flow driven; catalysts include ATR‑04 study updates and any ATR‑12 safety/topline disclosures; listing compliance updates could be stock‑moving .
