- Q3 2025 revenue from contracts with collaborators was $13.3M, a significant beat versus S&P Global consensus of $6.4M; EPS was a loss of $0.21, modestly below consensus of a $0.19 loss, driven by higher R&D and an IPR&D charge . Values retrieved from S&P Global.*

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Revenue beat alongside reaffirmed Phase 3 timelines positions Gossamer with tangible near‑term catalysts (PROSERA topline February 2026; SERANATA activation) that can drive sentiment and stock reaction on clinical momentum .
- EPS miss is modest and primarily tied to higher R&D and a discrete IPR&D charge; watch for OpEx cadence and any non‑recurring items impacting quarterly earnings optics .
- Cash runway into 2027 remains intact despite sequential cash decline, reflecting disciplined financing structures (e.g., equity‑heavy Respira option) to minimize burn while expanding the portfolio .
- The Respira deal adds optionality in PRN pulmonary hypertension; note share issuance mechanics (2.5M at signing per Respira; 1.5M upon exercise) and potential clinical timing (no further RT234 trials until at least 2027), suggesting limited near‑term spend .
- ERS data/communications, including AI‑driven CT imaging poster, bolster seralutinib’s mechanistic narrative across PAH/PH‑ILD and support the scientific case ahead of PROSERA topline .
- Trading: Near‑term drivers are clinical, not financial — the stock likely keys off any interim clinical/site activation updates and February 2026 topline readout; quarterly revenue variability is less central to the thesis .
- Medium term: Focus on commercialization planning with Chiesi for seralutinib and regulatory pathway clarity in PH‑ILD; capital structure optionality and potential business development (Respira) can broaden the PH franchise .
