Immunome Inc. (IMNM)·Q1 2025 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Q1 2025 delivered large beats versus consensus: collaboration revenue was $2.93M versus $0.46M consensus, and EPS was -$0.52 versus -$0.66 consensus; the magnitude reflects lumpy collaboration revenue and disciplined OpEx management. Bold: Revenue and EPS beat (consensus from S&P Global).
- Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities increased to $317.3M, aided by January’s $172.5M gross offering; management guides cash runway into 2027 .
- Pipeline catalysts strengthened: IND clearance for IM-3050 (April), first patient dosed for IM-1021 (February), and RINGSIDE Phase 3 topline timing reiterated for 2H 2025; NDA-enabling work is underway for varegacestat .
- Near-term stock reaction catalysts: RINGSIDE topline in 2H25, IM-3050 Phase 1 initiation in 2H25, and updates from IM-1021 dose escalation; financing reduces execution risk and supports multiple milestones .

Siegall, Ph.D., President & CEO .

Q&A Highlights

Estimates Context
- EPS: Actual $(0.52) vs consensus $(0.66) — beat (9 estimates).
- Revenue: Actual $2.93M vs consensus $0.46M — beat (7 estimates).
- Implications: Street models likely need to reflect higher collaboration revenue cadence and reduced loss per share for Q1, though forward periods should remain conservative given revenue lumpiness and clinical-stage profile. Consensus values retrieved from S&P Global.
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Execution on pipeline milestones (IM-3050 IND clearance; IM-1021 first dosing) reduces clinical risk and sets up multiple 2H25 readouts and initiations; cash runway into 2027 supports sustained execution .
- Varegacestat RINGSIDE topline in 2H25 is the principal near-term stock catalyst; NDA-enabling work progressing suggests potential regulatory path if data are supportive .
- Q1 beats on both revenue and EPS highlight collaboration-driven upside variability and disciplined OpEx; monitor future quarters for cadence normalization .
- Financing completed in January 2025 materially de-risks capital needs and may compress equity risk premiums ahead of clinical events .
- Watch OpEx trajectory as multiple programs advance; stock-based compensation and non-recurring items (e.g., milestones) can affect quarterly cash flows .
- Near-term trading: positioning into RINGSIDE topline and IM-3050 Phase 1 start; medium-term thesis hinges on clinical differentiation across targeted oncology portfolio and clarity on regulatory timelines .
