Entera Bio Ltd. (ENTXW)·Q2 2025 Earnings Summary

Executive Summary

  • Q2 2025 delivered a net loss of $2.66M ($0.06 loss per share) on $0 revenue, as Entera completed the first stage of a 2024 research services agreement and did not recognize revenue in the quarter; operating expenses rose 23% year over year to $2.67M .
  • Material regulatory de-risking: FDA concurred with EB613 Phase 3 design using total hip BMD as the primary endpoint, with vertebral fracture incidence as key secondary, and waived dedicated oral carcinogenicity and comprehensive DART studies—streamlining the registrational path for the first oral anabolic osteoporosis tablet .
  • Pipeline momentum with OPKO: mini‑pig PK for oral dual GLP‑1/glucagon OPK‑88006 showed plasma levels consistent with the highest subcutaneous Wegovy dose, supporting a once‑daily tablet regimen; Phase 1 planning underway with IND targeted in H1 2026 .
  • Balance sheet: $10.86M cash and $8.02M restricted cash (OPKO escrow) at quarter‑end; management guides runway through mid‑Q3 2026, excluding funding needed to initiate EB613 Phase 3 .
  • EPS beat vs S&P Global consensus: actual loss per share of $0.06 vs consensus $0.11 loss, a $0.05 beat; revenue consensus was unavailable for Q2 2025 (data from S&P Global). *

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well

  • FDA alignment on EB613 Phase 3 design (BMD primary endpoint; fractures key secondary) materially de‑risks registration; management: “pivotal milestone…opens the door to addressing a massive unmet need” .
  • Regulatory burden reduced: FDA agreed dedicated oral carcinogenicity and comprehensive DART studies are not warranted based on EB613 and Forteo literature—accelerating timelines and lowering cost .
  • OPKO obesity program progressed: oral OPK‑88006 PK in mini‑pig matched plasma levels associated with high‑dose Wegovy, supporting a once‑daily tablet; IND planned for H1 2026 .

What Went Wrong

  • No quarterly revenue; Q2 gross profit was $0 as research services revenue recognized in 2024 did not recur in Q2 2025 .
  • R&D spending increased by $0.43M YoY on Phase 3 preparations and regulatory activities, elevating operating loss YoY and sequentially .
  • Going‑concern risk persists; runway guided through mid‑Q3 2026, but additional capital is required to commence EB613 Phase 3 (not covered by current resources) .

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • FDA concurrence on EB613 Phase 3 design and waived preclinical requirements reduces regulatory risk and cost—an important catalyst for partnership or financing discussions ahead of Phase 3 initiation .
  • The oral dual GLP‑1/glucagon program’s PK profile aligning with Wegovy’s highest dose supports differentiation in a tablet format; IND targeted H1 2026, offering a medium‑term pipeline value driver .
  • Near‑term financials remain R&D‑driven with no revenue; Q2 OpEx rose 23% YoY, and net loss increased YoY—consistent with advancing programs toward registrational work .
  • Liquidity is adequate through mid‑Q3 2026 (including OPKO‑escrowed funds), but EB613 Phase 3 will require incremental capital; expect equity/partnering over the next 6–12 months .
  • EPS beat vs consensus reflects disciplined cost control amid increased regulatory activities; however, without revenue contribution, estimate revisions will hinge on Phase 3 timing and financing visibility (S&P Global; actual EPS) *.
  • Geopolitical risk disclosures remain heightened but operations were largely unaffected; monitor potential impacts to timelines and financing conditions .
  • Trading implication: Regulatory clarity on EB613 and IND timing for OPK‑88006 are likely narrative drivers; headline updates on Phase 3 start and funding could be stock‑moving events .
