- EPS swung from +$0.30 (diluted) in Q1 to -$0.82 in Q2; net loss widened to -$34.8M vs. -$11.9M in Q2 2023, driven by low revenue and continued R&D/G&A spending .

- Clinical execution advanced: FDA Fast Track for lunresertib + camonsertib in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer; MYTHIC dose-expansion readout expected in Q4 2024—key stock catalyst; MINOTAUR (lunresertib + FOLFIRI) initial data were positive .
- Wall Street consensus (S&P Global) for Q2 2024 EPS/revenue was unavailable at time of analysis due to access limits; comparison to estimates not provided (S&P Global data unavailable).
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- “We continued to make meaningful progress across our clinical programs… a catalyst-rich second half of 2024 that includes the release of data from our ongoing MYTHIC… combination therapy has the potential to be a new treatment paradigm” — Lloyd M. Segal, President & CEO .
- FDA granted Fast Track designation for lunresertib + camonsertib in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, highlighting pathway to expedited development .
- Positive initial Phase 1 MINOTAUR data (lunresertib + FOLFIRI) showed promising efficacy and tolerability with prolonged benefit in GI tumors, underpinning broader potential of PKMYT1 inhibition combinations .
What Went Wrong
- Top-line revenue dropped sharply Q/Q and Y/Y (Q2: $1.1M vs Q1: $52.4M; Q2 2023: $30.2M), underscoring dependence on irregular collaboration milestones and limited recurring revenue sources .
- Net loss expanded to -$34.8M and diluted EPS to -$0.82, reflecting minimal quarterly revenue and continued operating spend .
- R&D and G&A remained elevated (Q2 Net R&D: $30.1M; G&A: $8.3M), keeping opex high despite revenue variability; investors may scrutinize spend efficiency ahead of registrational decisions .
