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 .

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 .
