Entera Bio Ltd. (ENTXW)·Q3 2025 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Q3 2025 net loss was $3.2M ($0.07 per share) versus $3.0M ($0.08) in Q3 2024; revenue was $0 with operating expenses of $3.3M as Phase 3 preparation for EB613 drove modest OpEx growth .
- The company highlighted a key regulatory milestone: FDA agreement on total hip BMD as the primary endpoint for EB613’s single Phase 3 study, supporting an NDA path; Next-Gen EB613 remains on track for Phase 1 initiation in late 2025 .
- Cash and restricted cash totaled $16.7M at quarter-end (cash $8.6M, restricted $8.1M), with runway through mid-Q3 2026 maintained; dedicated restricted cash supports OPKO collaboration programs .
- Versus S&P Global consensus, EPS of -$0.07 beat the -$0.09 estimate (+$0.02), and revenue matched $0; estimate breadth remains thin (1 covering estimate)*.
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- FDA agreement on Phase 3 design for EB613 (BMD primary endpoint; vertebral fractures secondary) provides pivotal regulatory clarity and a streamlined path to NDA submission .
- EB613 Phase 2 post-hoc 3D-DXA analyses showed early anabolic effects with significant trabecular and cortical gains at 6 months, comparable to injectable teriparatide/abaloparatide, reinforcing clinical differentiation .
- Management emphasized leadership in oral peptides and ongoing milestones across GLP‑2 (SBS) and oral OXM (obesity) with OPKO; CEO: “Our FDA agreement…is unprecedented and underscores the strength of our data and the promise for EB613…” .
What Went Wrong
- No revenue in Q3 2025 (clinical-stage profile), with operating loss of $3.3M; net loss increased sequentially vs Q2 2025 ($3.2M vs $2.7M) on higher R&D and G&A .
- R&D rose to $1.6M (from $1.5M YoY; $1.5M Q2) and G&A to $1.6M (from $1.5M YoY; $1.1M Q2), reflecting Phase 3 preparation and corporate spend; total OpEx up to $3.3M .
- Limited estimate coverage (single analyst) reduces external benchmarking and may dampen near-term institutional engagement for the stock*.

Management Commentary
- CEO perspective: “Our FDA agreement for EB613 this July is unprecedented and underscores the strength of our data and the promise for EB613 to close the treatment chasm in osteoporosis…” .
- Platform confidence: “Our N‑Tab™ platform consistently delivered across pipeline programs, including our oral GLP‑2… and oral OXM… in partnership with OPKO Health.” .
- Clinical differentiation: Phase 2 analyses show significant increases in trabecular and cortical bone indices after six months of EB613, comparable to injectables; supports rapid strengthening and fracture resistance .
Q&A Highlights
- No formal Q&A transcript found for Q3 2025 within available filings; key clarifications include drivers of OpEx (EB613 Phase 3 preparation) and program timelines: Next‑Gen EB613 Phase 1 late 2025 and OXM IND H1 2026 .
Estimates Context
- EPS beat: Actual -$0.07 vs consensus -$0.09, a $0.02 outperformance; revenue matched $0, consistent with clinical-stage status.*
- Estimate breadth remains limited (1 EPS and 1 revenue estimate), which can reduce the statistical significance of the “beat” and implies potential volatility in consensus updates as milestones approach.*
- Given maintained runway and reinforced regulatory clarity, models may modestly increase R&D and G&A trajectories into Phase 3 start while leaving revenue near zero until milestone or approval events .

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Regulatory clarity on EB613’s Phase 3 BMD primary endpoint is a material de‑risking event for the registrational path; narrative catalyst remains Phase 3 initiation and early enrollment progress .
- Liquidity appears sufficient through mid‑Q3 2026, supported by $16.7M combined cash and restricted cash; focus near‑term is disciplined OpEx as Phase 3 preparation continues .
- Pipeline breadth provides optionality: GLP‑2 program shows compelling PK (~15h half‑life), and oral OXM IND timing (H1 2026) creates future milestone cadence with OPKO .
- EPS modestly beat a thin consensus; limited coverage means price reaction may be more sensitive to regulatory and clinical headlines than quarterly P&L variance.*
- Watch for Next‑Gen EB613 Phase 1 start (late 2025) and operational updates on Phase 3 logistics (sites, geographies, enrollment) as catalysts .
- Risk factors include clinical timing/execution, regulatory interpretation, financing optionality pre‑approval, and compliance with listing standards per cautionary statements .
- Medium-term thesis hinges on successful Phase 3 readout with BMD endpoint and subsequent NDA, with platform validation potentially expanding to metabolic and SBS indications .
