INTENSITY THERAPEUTICS, INC. (INTS)·Q1 2025 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Q1 2025 reflected disciplined cost control amid funding constraints: operating expenses fell 28.5% YoY to $3.39M, narrowing net loss to $3.35M (vs $4.60M YoY) and EPS to -$0.22 (vs -$0.34 YoY) .
- EPS modestly missed Wall Street consensus by ~$0.03 per share (actual -$0.22 vs consensus -$0.195); revenue remained $0.00 as the company is pre-revenue.
- Management paused new site activations and enrollment in the Phase 3 INVINCIBLE-3 sarcoma study to conserve cash and prioritized the Phase 2 INVINCIBLE-4 TNBC study; EMA authorized initiation in France and eight Swiss sites are active with patients treated .
- April public offering raised $2.35M gross (~$1.9M net), but period-end cash fell to $0.93M, elevating liquidity risk; subsequent near-term capital raises in Q2/Q3 were not in-quarter and thus not reflected in Q1 cash .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- EMA authorization to initiate INVINCIBLE-4 in France alongside eight activated Swiss sites, with several TNBC patients treated, supports continued execution in the Phase 2 program .
- Cost discipline: R&D declined to $2.19M (from $2.82M) and G&A to $1.21M (from $1.93M), driven by lower manufacturing, legal/audit, and no new equity grants, reducing total operating expenses to $3.39M .
- Management highlighted positive patient imaging signals in sarcoma (“first follow-up scans showed high levels of necrosis in injected tumors”) as qualitative support for INT230-6 activity .
What Went Wrong
- Liquidity strain: cash and equivalents dropped to $0.93M at quarter end (from $2.59M at year-end), necessitating the pause of Phase 3 sarcoma enrollment and site activation pending additional funding .
- EPS missed consensus by ~1–3 cents (depending on source) as interest income normalized and OpEx remained elevated for clinical operations, limiting near-term earnings support relative to expectations* .
- Phase 3 INVINCIBLE-3 momentum slowed with 23 patients enrolled prior to the pause; management must balance trial integrity and pharmacovigilance activities with constrained resources .

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Liquidity is the central near-term risk: Q1 cash fell to $0.93M despite April offering; management paused Phase 3 sarcoma enrollment to preserve cash, which could weigh on sentiment until funding is secured .
- Positive clinical momentum in TNBC: EMA authorization in France and active Swiss sites suggest the INVINCIBLE-4 program can advance even in a constrained funding environment—an important narrative offset .
- Cost control is working: OpEx down 28.5% YoY; lower manufacturing and G&A contribute—improves runway efficiency and limits quarterly losses .
- Trial pauses can defer catalysts: the INVINCIBLE-3 slowdown likely delays survival readouts and may temper medium-term expectations; resumption hinges on capital access .
- Estimate revisions: modest EPS miss may prompt slight near-term estimate downward tweaks; revenue remains at zero, aligning expectations for clinical-stage timelines*.
- Trading lens: watch funding updates and any strategic partnership/licensing moves; reacceleration of sarcoma enrollment would be a key positive catalyst, while further delays could pressure shares .
- Strategic focus: management’s prioritization of TNBC sites and partnerships indicates an effort to balance capital efficiency with advancing differentiating clinical evidence .
