Marpai, Inc. (MRAI)·Q2 2025 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Q2 results show aggressive cost takeout with operating expenses down ~70% YoY ($9.9M) and operating loss down 71% to $3.6M, while revenue declined to $4.656M (down ~$2.5M YoY); EPS improved to ($0.28) from ($1.23) YoY but worsened sequentially from ($0.21) in Q1 .
- Management shifted profitability timing from “2025” to “Q1 2026,” added a planned “major infrastructure investment” in Q3, and highlighted a strong Jan 1, 2026 pipeline, reframing the near-term narrative toward build-out ahead of 2026 profitability .
- Gross margin compressed sharply to ~16.0% vs ~35.7% in Q1 and ~28.0% in Q2 last year as cost of revenue stayed elevated versus a lower revenue base; improvements were driven by SG&A/opex reductions, not gross profit expansion .
- No S&P Global consensus EPS or revenue estimates were available for Q2, limiting beat/miss framing; focus turns to execution on MarpaiRx relaunch (H2 2025) and Empara platform integration as revenue stabilizers into 2026 (profitability) .
- Liquidity remains tight (cash $0.619M, restricted cash $7.661M) with stockholders’ deficit ($32.367M) and meaningful debt/interest expense, keeping financing and cash burn discipline in focus as catalysts/risks .

- Operating expenses reduced

What Went Wrong
- Revenue pressure: Q2 revenue fell to $4.656M, down ~$2.5M YoY; sequential decline from $5.418M in Q1, reflecting “transitional impacts” cited by management .
- Gross margin compression: Gross margin fell to ~16.0% vs ~35.7% in Q1 and ~28.0% YoY, as cost of revenue stayed high relative to a smaller revenue base, muting P&L leverage despite opex cuts .

Management Commentary
- “We believe that our turnaround is real and accelerating… we are on track to deliver a profitable company in the first quarter of 2026… pipeline of new business for January 1st 2026 is strong… expect to make a major infrastructure investment in Q3 to further improve efficiency and client service.” — Damien Lamendola, CEO .
- “Now, we’re propelling the Company towards growth and profitability… plan to introduce high-impact PBM-based products in the second half of 2025.” — Damien Lamendola (Q4’24 PR) .
Q&A Highlights

Estimates Context
- S&P Global consensus for Q2 2025 EPS and revenue was not available; therefore, no beat/miss assessment versus Street is possible. The actuals reported were revenue $4.656M and EPS ($0.28) .
- Implications: Absent consensus, investor focus will concentrate on sequential revenue stabilization, gross margin recovery path, and the credibility of the Q1’26 profitability target (opex discipline vs. gross profit rebuild).
- Values retrieved from S&P Global.
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Execution is delivering substantial opex savings (~70% YoY), materially shrinking losses; however, the path to profitability has been pushed to Q1’26 and will likely require revenue stabilization and gross margin recovery, not just SG&A cuts .
- Gross margin compression to ~16% in Q2 is the key near-term watch item; demonstrate COGS normalization and revenue traction to re-establish operating leverage .
- MarpaiRx relaunch (H2’25) and Empara platform rollout are the core revenue/retention levers into 2026; early client adoption data and case studies will be important catalysts .
- Liquidity and cost of capital matter: low cash, continued interest expense, and stockholders’ deficit heighten financing risk; watch for balance sheet actions and working capital trends .
- The planned Q3 infrastructure investment should come with measurable ROI (efficiency gains, client service metrics, churn, and margins); investors should demand milestones and KPIs to validate spend .
- Without Street consensus, the stock may trade on qualitative updates and internal milestones (client wins for Jan 1, 2026, PBM ramp, margin recovery); near-term prints lacking revenue growth could cap multiple expansion .
