SELLAS Life Sciences Group, Inc. (SLS)·Q3 2025 Earnings Summary

Executive Summary

• Q3 2025 results reflected tight expense control and a narrower net loss: net loss was $6.79M and EPS was $(0.06), improving vs $(0.10) in Q3 2024; R&D was $4.22M and G&A was $2.87M . Cash rose to $44.32M at quarter-end, bolstered by $29.1M net warrant proceeds in October and $54.6M gross proceeds from warrant exercises in Sep–Oct .
• Strategic catalysts remain front-and-center: GPS Phase 3 REGAL final analysis is anticipated by year-end 2025 (event-driven timing), and SLS009 Phase 2 data were accepted for ASH; a randomized 80‑patient first-line AML trial is expected to start in Q1 2026 .
• The quarter continued positive program execution: IDMC previously recommended REGAL continue without modification (Aug), preclinical SLS009 data in T‑PLL showed a statistically significant survival benefit vs venetoclax alone .
• Consensus estimates (EPS and revenue) for Q3 2025 were unavailable via S&P Global; therefore no beat/miss determination can be made (see Estimates Context) [GetEstimates]*.
• Near-term stock catalysts: ASH presentation (Dec 6–9), REGAL final analysis (event-driven, targeting YE 2025), and clarity on SLS009 front-line AML trial initiation in Q1 2026 .

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well

• REGAL Phase 3 trajectory supported: “Following the positive IDMC recommendation… to continue the trial without modification, the Phase 3 REGAL trial… remains on track… final analysis… anticipated by year-end 2025.”
• SLS009 momentum: “Positive Phase 2 data… accepted for presentation at ASH 2025; initiation of trial including newly diagnosed first-line AML patients expected in Q1 2026.”
• Strengthened balance sheet: $44.3M cash at 9/30/25 and $29.1M net proceeds in October via warrant exercises, with $54.6M gross proceeds from immediate exercises across Sep–Oct .
• CEO tone constructive: “We remain highly encouraged by the continued, strong execution… expanding body of clinical and preclinical data… With a strong financial foundation… multiple catalysts ahead.” — Angelos Stergiou, MD

What Went Wrong

• No revenue; continued GAAP losses: net loss of $6.79M in Q3 2025; persistent operating losses characteristic of late-stage biotech without marketed products .
• Dilution a consideration: weighted-average shares rose from 87.76M (Q1) to 98.56M (Q2) to 108.40M (Q3), reflecting capital raises and warrant exercises .
• Timing uncertainty for GPS final analysis: management reiterated event-driven nature—“difficult to predict with any certainty” despite YE 2025 expectation .

Management Commentary

• “We remain highly encouraged by the continued, strong execution across our programs and the expanding body of clinical and preclinical data… With a strong financial foundation… and multiple catalysts ahead, we believe SELLAS is entering a transformative period of growth and value creation.” — Angelos Stergiou, MD, President & CEO
• “Momentum around SLS009 also continues to build—our positive Phase 2 data were accepted for presentation at the upcoming ASH Annual Meeting, and we recently presented preclinical results at ESMO demonstrating clear survival benefits in T‑PLL.” — Stergiou
• REGAL timing reminder: “The final analysis will be conducted once 80 events (deaths) are reached and is anticipated by year-end 2025. Because the final analysis is event driven, it is difficult to predict with any certainty…”

Q&A Highlights

• Formal earnings call transcript was not available; however, SELLAS hosted a virtual R&D Day on Oct 29 with a live Q&A following presentations, signaling openness to address clinical design and timelines (replay reference provided in release) .
• Clarifications reiterated in press releases: event-driven nature of REGAL final analysis timing ; FDA preference for response rate as a primary endpoint in the randomized 80‑patient front-line AML trial design (two cohorts of ~40 each) .

Estimates Context

• S&P Global consensus for Q3 2025 EPS and revenue was unavailable for SLS; thus, we cannot assess a beat/miss relative to Wall Street expectations [GetEstimates]*.
• Given limited sell-side coverage for micro-cap, pre-revenue biopharma, future consensus may remain sparse until pivotal data readouts and regulatory milestones increase visibility.

Key Takeaways for Investors

• Balance sheet strengthened meaningfully: $44.3M cash at Q3 plus $29.1M net in October; gross $54.6M warrants exercised across Sep–Oct—supports continued execution through near-term catalysts .
• Two near-term binary events: REGAL Phase 3 final analysis (event-driven, targeted YE 2025) and ASH presentation for SLS009 (Dec 6–9), both potential stock-moving catalysts .
• Front-line AML strategy for SLS009 endorsed by FDA and set to initiate in Q1 2026, with response rate as primary endpoint—trial design clarity improves medium-term visibility .
• Program breadth expands SLS009’s optionality: positive preclinical survival benefit in T‑PLL and prior data in TP53 resistance and ASXL1 contexts broaden scientific rationale .
• Dilution risk persists given warrant exercises and rising share count; weigh financing tailwinds against per‑share impacts ahead of pivotal readouts .
• With no revenue and ongoing net losses, stock trajectory will hinge on clinical/regulatory outcomes and the timing/quality of REGAL and SLS009 data flows .
• Event-driven timing caveat: final analysis depends on reaching 80 events; timing could slip—plan positioning around a window rather than a hard date .
