MM
Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc. (MNMD)·Q3 2025 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Pre-revenue quarter with operating expense ramp; Q3 2025 net loss widened to $67.3M ($0.78/share) vs $13.7M ($0.18/share) in Q3 2024 and $42.7M ($0.50/share) in Q2 2025, driven by higher R&D and G&A and a non‑cash $22.5M increase in warrant fair value as the stock rose in the quarter .
- EPS missed S&P Global consensus: ($0.78) actual vs ($0.50) consensus; revenue remained at $0 (consensus $0), reflecting development-stage status; 10 EPS estimates and 11 revenue estimates in the quarter (values from S&P Global)*.
- Clinical execution momentum: eMERGE (Phase 3 MDD) topline pulled forward to mid‑2026 (from 2H26), while VOYAGE (GAD) remains 1H26 and PANORAMA (GAD) 2H26; JAMA publication of Phase 2b GAD validated dose response and durability .
- Balance sheet significantly strengthened: $209.1M cash, equivalents and investments at 9/30/25 and $242.8M net proceeds from the Oct 31 offering; management guides cash runway into 2028, supporting NDA preparation and launch readiness for MM120 ODT .
- 2026 framed as catalyst-heavy: three Phase 3 topline readouts across GAD and MDD, initiation of second MDD pivotal (ASCEND), and advancement of MM402 into Phase 2a for ASD in 4Q25; management tone confident, emphasizing rigorous trial designs and FDA engagement .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Accelerated MDD timeline: eMERGE topline moved up to mid‑2026 on faster‑than‑expected enrollment; VOYAGE (1H26) and PANORAMA (2H26) remained on track, concentrating key readouts in 2026 .
- Scientific validation: Phase 2b GAD results published in JAMA showed dose response; 100 μg achieved a 7.7‑point placebo‑adjusted HAM‑A reduction at Week 12, 65% response, 48% remission after a single dose, underpinning Phase 3 design and Breakthrough status .
- Capital raised and runway extended: $258.9M gross/$242.8M net offering completed Oct 31; combined with $209.1M on 9/30, cash runway guided into 2028 to fund NDA workstreams and commercial readiness .
- Management quotes:
- “This financing…positions us for a transformational 2026” (CEO) .
- “We’ve designed our Phase 3 trials to have 90% power to detect a 5‑point improvement over placebo” (CMO) .
- “Cash…along with the net proceeds from the recent offering, are sufficient to fund…into 2028” (CFO) .
What Went Wrong
- EPS miss vs Street: ($0.78) actual vs ($0.50) consensus, driven by R&D (+$13.8M YoY) and G&A (+$7.1M YoY) plus non‑cash warrant fair value change ($22.5M), magnifying the net loss .
- Operating expense escalation: R&D rose to $31.0M from $17.2M YoY on MM120 program and hiring; G&A increased to $14.7M from $7.6M on personnel, commercial prep, and corporate affairs, signaling sustained spend into 2026 .
- Limited trial detail disclosures: No public update on blinded sample size re‑estimation and no interim blinded metrics (persistency/dropout); management emphasized adherence to plans without additional specifics, leaving some analysts seeking more visibility .

Management Commentary
- Strategy and 2026 catalysts: “This financing underscores the strength of our science and positions us for a transformational 2026…three top-line Phase III data readouts expected” (CEO) .
- Phase 3 powering: “We’ve designed our Phase III trials to have 90% power to detect a 5‑point improvement over placebo” (CMO) .
- Durability & potential sea change: “A single monotherapy intervention…induce remission in just under 50%…12 weeks later…a remarkable opportunity for potential sea change in psychiatry” (CMO) .
- Cash runway and priorities: Cash and investments of $209.1M at 9/30 and $242.8M net proceeds; “sufficient to fund…into 2028…accelerate key initiatives…NDA preparation…KOL education” (CFO) .
- Commercial model vs Spravato: MM120’s durable effects and single‑dose paradigm contrasted with Spravato’s dynamics; ability to leverage infrastructure and reimbursement codes without co‑administered psychotherapy (CEO) .
Q&A Highlights
- Sample size re‑estimation: No public disclosure yet on blinded re‑estimation; timelines remain intact (VOYAGE/PANORAMA 2026) .
- Enrollment dynamics: Strong across GAD and MDD; advancement of eMERGE timing reflects earlier‑than‑expected start and throughput .
- Functional blinding and dose response: 50μg arm serves as functional control; primary endpoints test 100μg vs placebo; Phase 2b established dose response despite unblinding risk .
- Durability/retreatment: No deterioration out to Week 12 in Phase 2b; Part B of Phase 3 will characterize re‑treatment intervals (HAM‑A/MADRS thresholds) .
- MM402 usage paradigm: Envisioned as daily/as‑needed to enhance social communication in ASD; rationale based on acute prosocial effects and tolerability profile .
Estimates Context
- Q3 2025 EPS came in below consensus: ($0.78) vs ($0.50) consensus; miss driven by higher R&D/G&A and a non‑cash $22.5M warrant fair value loss as shares appreciated; revenue remained at $0 (consensus $0)* .
- Target price consensus stood at ~$25.64 with 11 estimates in the quarter, indicating constructive long‑term expectations pending Phase 3 data (values from S&P Global)*.
- Modeling implications: OpEx run‑rate suggests sustained R&D through 2026 to support three pivotal readouts and commercial build; non‑cash warrant volatility can materially swing reported EPS quarter‑to‑quarter .

Key Takeaways for Investors
- 2026 is the inflection year: three Phase 3 readouts across GAD and MDD, with eMERGE pulled into mid‑2026; regulatory path emphasizes Part A data for efficacy (12‑week GAD; 6‑week MDD) .
- De‑risked efficacy thesis: JAMA Phase 2b shows single‑dose durability and dose response (7.7 pt HAM‑A delta; 65% response; 48% remission), aligning Phase 3 designs and powering assumptions .
- EPS volatility likely near term: Pre‑revenue profile plus non‑cash warrant revaluations can obscure underlying cash use; focus on OpEx trends and cash runway into 2028 .
- Commercial groundwork underway: Proceeds earmarked for NDA prep, scheduling prioritization, and KOL education; management sees leverage from existing interventional psychiatry infrastructure .
- Secondary program optionality: MM402’s Phase 2a start in 4Q25 opens an additional neuropsychiatry avenue (ASD) with a distinct daily/as‑needed use case .
- Near‑term catalysts: Continued enrollment updates; any regulatory guidance clarity; additional scientific publications; and progress on commercialization planning could move sentiment .
- Risk monitor: Lack of visibility on sample size re‑estimation, execution risk in pivotal trials, and warrant/market‑driven EPS noise warrant attention .
