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 .

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 .
