    Total Revenue

    Increased to $211.2M in Q1 2025 (up from almost negligible revenue previously)

    Total revenue surged to $211.2M in Q1 2025, driven almost entirely by a $195.4M increase in license revenue and $15.9M in service revenue stemming from the Takeda Agreement, contrasting with the very low revenue in Q1 2024.

    Net Loss

    Rose from $43.1M in Q1 2024 to $148.5M in Q1 2025 (~244% worsening)

    Net loss expanded dramatically due to significantly higher operational expenses—such as increased R&D and administrative costs—to support growth, which overwhelmed revenue gains noted in the current period relative to the substantially lower loss in the previous period.

    Net Loss Per Share

    Deteriorated from -$1.21 in Q1 2024 to $3.66 in Q1 2025

    Net loss per share worsened as the amplified overall loss was combined with potential dilution factors, intensifying the negative impact on shareholder returns compared to Q1 2024.

    R&D Expenses

    Increased from $38.3M in Q1 2024 to $48.7M in Q1 2025 (approximately 27% increase)

    R&D expenses increased notably as KROS ramped up its investment in innovation and pipeline advancement, reflecting a strategic shift from lower R&D spending in Q1 2024 to support future growth with higher clinical and manufacturing investments.

    Operating Cash Flow

    Reversed from a negative $46.0M in Q4 2024 to a positive $161.2M in Q1 2025

    Operating cash flow turned positive to $161.2M in Q1 2025 as a result of strong revenue inflows from the Takeda Agreement and improved working capital management, sharply contrasting with the previous quarter’s negative cash flow.

    Cash and Cash Equivalents

    Increased by about 28.6% to $720.5M

    Cash reserves expanded to $720.5M driven by robust operating cash inflows and the influx from the Takeda license deal, significantly enhancing liquidity compared to the prior period.

    Total Assets

    Grew by roughly 27.2% to $784.6M

    Total assets increased as a result of augmented cash balances and higher accounts receivable—particularly linked to the Takeda Agreement—indicating a stronger balance sheet compared to the previous period.
