Aquestive Q1 2025 Earnings Report

Aquestive reported lower revenues and a wider net loss in Q1 2025, as the company shifted focus toward its Anaphylm launch preparation.

Key Takeaways

Aquestive Therapeutics generated $8.7 million in revenue for Q1 2025, down 28% year-over-year, due to declines in manufacturing and license revenues. The company intensified its commercial readiness efforts for Anaphylm and reduced non-core development activities.

Revenue fell to $8.7 million in Q1 2025 from $12.1 million a year earlier, driven by lower manufacturing and licensing income.

Net loss widened to $22.9 million, up from $12.8 million in Q1 2024, mainly due to increased SG&A expenses.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss reached $17.6 million, compared to $7.2 million last year.

Cash and cash equivalents stood at $68.7 million at the end of Q1 2025, with the company reaffirming its launch plans for Anaphylm in early 2026.

Forward Guidance

Aquestive revised its full-year 2025 guidance downward due to Libervant's regulatory delay and reallocation of resources toward Anaphylm.

Positive Outlook

  • NDA for Anaphylm submitted; FDA acceptance decision expected Q2 2025.
  • Commercial launch of Anaphylm planned for Q1 2026, subject to approval.
  • Expanded market access and medical affairs teams in place.
  • Strong demand continued for Libervant among 2–5-year-olds despite pause in broader sales.
  • Cash reserves of $68.7M support near-term operations and launch prep.

Challenges Ahead

  • Total revenue guidance lowered from $47–56M to $44–50M.
  • Paused marketing of Libervant following change in regulatory approval status.
  • Net loss and SG&A expenses significantly increased YoY.
  • Adjusted EBITDA loss widened materially versus Q1 2024.
  • Plans to delay AQST-108 clinical development until post-Anaphylm launch.
