Celcuity Q4 2024 Earnings Report
Celcuity reported increased operating expenses and a higher net loss in Q4 2024 compared to the prior year.
Key Takeaways
Celcuity's fourth quarter results reflected a significant rise in R&D and administrative expenses, contributing to a wider net loss. However, the company ended the quarter with a strong cash position to support ongoing clinical development programs.
Q4 2024 net loss widened to $36.7 million compared to $18.8 million in Q4 2023.
Non-GAAP adjusted net loss was $32.3 million, or $0.75 per share.
R&D expenses rose substantially due to trial-related costs and staffing.
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $235.1 million, expected to fund operations through 2026.
