Rafael Holdings, Inc. (RFL)·Q3 2025 Earnings Summary

Executive Summary

  • Q3 2025 revenue rose to $0.362M from $0.077M in Q2 2025 and $0.336M in Q3 2024; net loss shrank sharply year over year to $4.8M (−$0.19 EPS) from $32.4M (−$1.36 EPS), driven by the absence of prior-year non-cash items and consolidation effects post-Cyclo merger .
  • Cash and equivalents ended the quarter at $37.9M; the Company subsequently closed a $25M rights offering with expected net proceeds of ~$24.9M, materially improving liquidity ahead of Phase 3 milestones for Trappsol Cyclo .
  • Clinical catalyst: Independent DMC recommended continuing the 96-week TransportNPC Phase 3 study following the 48-week interim review; FDA accepted the statistical analysis plan, reinforcing regulatory momentum .
  • Operating expense increased YoY (R&D to $3.0M; G&A to $3.2M) with the inclusion of Cyclo and other consolidated entities; however, loss from operations narrowed YoY given lapping large one-time items in the prior period .

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well

  • Cyclo merger closed; management highlighted focus on Trappsol Cyclo as lead program. “We are pleased to have completed our merger with Cyclo Therapeutics… anticipated later this month [48-week interim analysis]” — Howard Jonas, CEO .
  • Liquidity strengthened: quarter-end cash $37.9M; rights offering net proceeds expected ~$24.9M to support clinical/regulatory activities .
  • Clinical/regulatory progress: DMC recommended continuing the 96-week Phase 3 study; FDA accepted SAP — key de-risking steps before topline readouts .

What Went Wrong

  • Higher operating expenses YoY: R&D expenses rose to $3.0M (from $1.5M), G&A to $3.2M (from $1.9M) driven by consolidation of Cyclo, Cornerstone, and Day Three .
  • Continued operating loss: Q3 operating loss was $(5.9)M; sequentially improved vs Q2, but still reflects spend on pipeline and consolidated entities .
  • Prior-quarter impairment and investment volatility: Q2 included a $3.05M goodwill impairment in Infusion Technology; Unrealized investment movements in Cyclo created earnings volatility earlier in the year .

Estimates Context

  • Wall Street consensus estimates for Q3 2025 EPS and revenue appear unavailable (no active quarterly consensus coverage observed). Values retrieved from S&P Global.*
  • Q4 2025 actuals later reported include revenue of $0.350M and EBITDA of $(11.713)M, but no forward consensus datapoints were available for the subsequent quarters in the fetch window.*

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Liquidity and funding runway improved via ~$24.9M net rights offering proceeds, supporting regulatory and potential launch activities if interim data support filing .
  • Clinical de-risking: DMC continuation and FDA SAP acceptance are positive leading indicators ahead of 48-week interim readout; regulatory clarity is improving .
  • Mix shift: Healthcare segment now contributes meaningful product revenue post-Cyclo merger; Infusion Tech revenue moderated with strategic focus shift .
  • Expense profile elevated with consolidation of Cyclo/Cornerstone/Day Three; monitor operating spend versus cash runway and milestone cadence .
  • Near-term trading catalyst: 48-week interim analysis outcomes and any regulatory next-step disclosures; positive signals could drive re-rating, while negative/ambiguous outcomes could pressure shares .
  • Medium-term thesis: Execution on NPC program (data, filing decision) and capital allocation discipline under controlled-company governance are central to equity value creation .
  • Share count increased post rights offering (approx. 50.879M Class B outstanding), consider dilution in per-share modeling and capital structure sensitivity .
