Executive Summary
- Q3 2025 results were broadly in line: GAAP diluted EPS of -$0.39 versus Wall Street consensus of -$0.3993; no product revenue reported as the company remains pre-commercial. Slight EPS beat reflects disciplined OpEx and interest income, though R&D rose with pipeline progression *.
- Balance sheet remains strong with $563.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, supporting late-stage programs and building commercial infrastructure ahead of potential Becker launch .
- Operational guidance maintained: CIRRUS-HCM Phase 2 program update remains slated for Q4 2025, GRAND CANYON (Becker) topline in Q4 2026; new clarity added on EDG-15400 Phase 1 topline in H1 2026 .
- Near-term stock catalysts: CIRRUS-HCM program update in Q4 2025, regulatory interactions on Duchenne Phase 3 strategy, and continued MESA data read-throughs in Becker supporting potential commercial launch positioning .

- “With a strong balance sheet, we continue to make great progress on our cardiac and skeletal muscle programs… building the commercial infrastructure to support a potential launch of sevasemten in Becker” .

- EDG-7500 CIRRUS-HCM Phase 2 continues to advance with strong enrollment in Part D; program update remains on track for Q4 2025 .
What Went Wrong
- Net loss widened sequentially as R&D increased with EDG-15400 Phase 1 start, continued CIRRUS-HCM activity, and Becker trial roll-overs: Q3 net loss -$40.7M vs. -$36.1M in Q2 .
- Interest income modestly declined ($6.192M vs. $6.495M in Q2), partially offsetting higher OpEx but not enough to prevent sequential EPS deterioration [-$0.39 vs. -$0.34] .

Estimates Context
- EPS landed slightly better than consensus: -$0.39 vs -$0.3993, essentially in line as OpEx increased with pipeline progress but interest income provided offset; Street likely views this as neutral pending CIRRUS-HCM update and FDA interactions on Duchenne *.
- Revenue remains n/a with consensus at $0.0, consistent with the company’s pre-commercial status *.
- Near-term estimate revisions should reflect higher R&D tied to EDG-15400 Phase 1, CIRRUS-HCM activities, and Becker roll-overs noted in management’s expense bridges .

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Balance sheet strength ($563.3M cash) funds runway through key 2025–2026 milestones (CIRRUS update in Q4 2025; GRAND CANYON topline Q4 2026; EDG-15400 Phase 1 topline H1 2026) .
- The Becker program remains the principal commercial driver; continued MESA stabilization and GRAND CANYON’s power for NSAA difference support potential value inflection with regulatory engagement .
- EDG-7500’s HCM dataset maturation is a 2025 catalyst; more comprehensive readout in H1 2026 may shape Phase 3 design and competitive positioning .
- Duchenne strategy is coalescing around a 10mg dose and Phase 3 initiation in 2026 post FDA discussions; consider scenarios for study scope and endpoints .
- EPS was in line/slightly better than consensus; trading likely hinges on clinical narrative rather than near-term P&L given no product revenue * .
- CFO transition announced Nov. 10 (Michael Nofi appointed CFO) underscores focus on commercialization readiness and financial operations scaling .
- Near-term positioning: watch Q4 2025 events and investor conference commentary; medium-term thesis rests on Becker approval pathway and HCM/Duchenne Phase 3 momentum .
