Entera Bio Ltd. (ENTX)·Q4 2024 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Entera reported FY 2024 results (Q4 period release) with revenues of $0.18M, operating expenses of $9.59M, and net loss of $9.54M ($0.25 per share); year-end cash and equivalents were $8.66M, rising to $21M by March 28, 2025, extending runway into Q3 2026 .
- Pipeline progressed: EB613 Phase 2 data were published in JBMR and highlighted at ASBMR; management anticipates FDA/SABRE surrogate endpoint qualification enabling Phase 3 initiation “promptly thereafter” .
- Sequential trend ahead of Q4: Q3 2024 net loss was $3.0M ($0.08 per share) on operating expenses of $3.02M; Q2 2024 net loss was $2.15M ($0.06 per share) on operating expenses of $2.17M .
- Key catalysts: FDA decision on SABRE endpoint (expected around January 2025 per prior update) and EB613 Phase 3 start; OPKO collaboration on oral oxyntomodulin (OXM) with joint ownership and an IND planned later in 2025 .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- EB613 advanced with peer-reviewed Phase 2 publication and favorable ASBMR exposure; management reiterated readiness to initiate Phase 3 once FDA validates BMD as surrogate endpoint .
- Balance sheet strengthened post-year-end to $21M cash, extending runway into Q3 2026 and supporting EB613 Phase 3 preparations and GLP-1/glucagon Phase 1 share of costs with OPKO .
- Strategic collaboration deepened with OPKO: signed OXM license/collaboration (60/40 program ownership and cost-share), targeting IND filing later in 2025 .
What Went Wrong
- Minimal FY revenue ($0.18M) reflects pre-commercial status; gross profit of $9K underscores limited near-term P&L leverage .
- Operating expenses rose to $9.59M in FY 2024 (vs. $8.89M in FY 2023), driven by IP expansion and program preparation; net loss widened to $9.54M .
- Year-end cash decreased YoY ($8.66M vs. $11.02M), increasing financing sensitivity before the March 2025 capital inflows; sequential OpEx increased from Q2 to Q3 as EB613 Phase 3 prep ramped .

- “We look forward to potential updates from FDA and SABRE… and to potentially initiating our pivotal Phase 3 study of EB613 promptly thereafter.” — CEO Miranda Toledano .
- “We are headed into a busy year end… keenly anticipating FDA’s potential landmark ruling on the ASBMR-FNIH SABRE regulatory endpoint… expected in January 2025.” — CEO Miranda Toledano (Q3 update) .

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Liquidity materially improved post-year-end to $21M, extending runway into Q3 2026 and de-risking near-term financing around Phase 3 initiation for EB613 .
- EB613’s clinical profile continues to strengthen (JBMR publication, ASBMR presentation), positioning it well if FDA/SABRE qualifies BMD as a surrogate endpoint; Phase 3 could start promptly after regulatory updates .
- The OPKO collaboration formalizes OXM’s path with shared economics and a 2025 IND, broadening optionality beyond osteoporosis into obesity/metabolic indications .
- Operating losses persist as expected for a clinical-stage company; FY 2024 OpEx increased vs FY 2023 as programs advanced, and minimal revenue limits near-term P&L leverage .
- Near-term stock reaction may hinge on FDA/SABRE outcome and EB613 Phase 3 start timing; positive regulatory clarity is a clear upside catalyst, while delays could pressure sentiment .
- Sequentially, OpEx rose from Q2 to Q3 with EB613 prep; investors should expect continued investment intensity into Phase 3 and early clinical work for OXM/GLP-2 .
- With estimates unavailable, focus should be on execution milestones (FDA/SABRE decision, Phase 3 initiation, OXM IND) and cash discipline to manage development timelines .
