NEW YORK, Aug. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ovid Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: OVID), a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing small molecule medicines for brain conditions with significant unmet need, today reported business updates and financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

“Our pipeline continues to advance across multiple fronts, with several key readouts anticipated in the near and mid-term. We are on track to share Phase 1 safety, tolerability, and biomarker data for OV329, a potential best-in-class medicine for conditions driven by excess neuronal excitation, including treatment-resistant seizures and pain,” said Dr. Jeremy Levin, D.Phil., MB BChir., Chairman and CEO of Ovid Therapeutics. “Simultaneously, our KCC2 program is advancing well. We expect to read out safety and tolerability data for OV350, our first-in-human KCC2 direct activator, before the end of the year, setting the stage for our broader pipeline of oral KCC2 direct activators. We are also completing IND-enabling work for OV4071 and plan to initiate a Phase 1/1b healthy volunteer and patient study in early 2026. Collectively, these milestones may provide compelling de-risking evidence for drugging and directly activating a new target in the brain with substantial therapeutic opportunity.”


KEY PIPELINE AND BUSINESS UPDATES

OV329: Phase 1 Topline Readout Planned for Q3 2025

OV329, a next-generation GABA-aminotransferase (GABA-AT) inhibitor, is progressing through a Phase 1 clinical trial in healthy volunteers. Topline results, including pharmacodynamic (PD), safety, and exploratory target engagement data, are anticipated in late Q3 2025.

OV329 is rationally designed to be a safer, well tolerated inhibitor of GABA-AT, a validated mechanism of action for reducing neuronal excitation and thereby, seizures. It has been shown to endogenously increase levels of GABA, the major inhibitory neurotransmitter, in the brain. OV329 is intended to replace vigabatrin, a first-generation GABA-AT inhibitor that is associated with serious safety concerns, including irreversible ocular changes and blindness in some patients, which limits its clinical use.

OV329 is significantly more potent than vigabatrin and, in preclinical studies, demonstrated synaptic and extrasynaptic inhibition, along with anti-convulsant activity in nine different animal seizure models. At projected therapeutic doses, OV329 has demonstrated a potentially favorable therapeutic index and did not induce sedation. OV329 is being developed for the possible treatment of drug-resistant epilepsies (DREs), with broader potential across a range of indications in which neuronal hyperexcitation is implicated.

OV329:
Clinical Development

Across previously completed cohorts, OV329 has been well tolerated, with no serious adverse events observed to date. The Company believes this emerging profile supports OV329’s potential as a novel treatment that leverages a validated mechanism of action (MOA), while addressing the safety limitations that have historically constrained broader clinical use of the first-generation GABA-AT inhibitor.

The Phase 1 study in healthy volunteers is designed with a highly rational biomarker-driven clinical development strategy that incorporates cutting-edge tools to evaluate central GABAergic activity. Several exploratory biomarkers are being used to assess OV329’s intended pharmacodynamic effects. These biomarkers include transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to assess cortical inhibition, magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to measure GABA levels in the medial parietal lobe, and quantitative electroencephalography (EEG) to evaluate brainwave patterns. TMS has previously been studied in healthy volunteers treated with the first-generation GABA-AT inhibitor vigabatrin, providing a partially validated and clinically relevant comparator to help interpret OV329’s intended CNS effects. Together, these translational biomarkers offer early insights into pharmacodynamic effects and strengthen the foundation for a rational and differentiated anti-seizure development program.

Pending the results of the Phase 1 study, Ovid plans to initiate a Phase 2a trial in adults with treatment-resistant focal onset seizures. The development approach is intended to preserve flexibility to explore additional forms of DRE and select developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) in both adult and pediatric populations.

Progressing a First-in-Class Portfolio of Oral KCC2 Direct Activators Toward the Clinic

The Company is making significant progress on its portfolio of first-in-class direct activators for the potassium-chloride cotransporter 2 (KCC2). KCC2 is a neuron-specific chloride transporter that plays a central role in regulating neuronal excitability and enabling GABA to exert its inhibitory effect. Ovid’s portfolio includes multiple unique molecules that have been shown to bind to and directly activate KCC2, reflecting a potentially differentiated, mechanism-based approach to addressing serious neurological and neuropsychiatric brain conditions. Direct activation is also believed to contribute to a preferable safety profile.

OV350 (Intravenous KCC2 Direct Activator): The Company is actively studying the first-ever KCC2 direct activator in healthy volunteers. The safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic data for OV350 are anticipated to be available in Q4 2025. This milestone is designed to establish safety of this new class of potential medicines – direct activators of KCC2. Findings from this program are helping to guide Ovid’s development of its oral KCC2 candidates.

OV4071 (Oral KCC2 Direct Activator): IND-enabling activities are underway for OV4071, the Company’s first oral KCC2 development candidate. The Company remains on track to initiate a proof-of-concept clinical study early in 2026. OV4071 is initially being developed for the treatment of psychosis, including in Parkinson’s disease and Lewy body dementia—areas with substantial unmet need and a defined regulatory pathway.

Broader Oral KCC2 Portfolio: In addition to OV4071, the Company is advancing multiple oral and injectable KCC2 activator programs selected from its proprietary library.

Direct activation of KCC2 may be a promising new therapeutic approach to restore inhibitory tone in the brain and has potential utility across a broad range of disorders characterized by neuronal hyperexcitability.

Monetization of Ganaxolone Royalties Provides Strategic Capital

In June 2025, Ovid entered into an agreement with Immedica Pharma AB to sell its worldwide ganaxolone royalty rights and licensing for $7.0 million. This monetization covers 100% of royalty rights and includes the transfer or licensing of Ovid’s global ganaxolone intellectual property, with Immedica assuming associated patent maintenance and prosecution costs.

This capital transaction strengthens Ovid’s balance sheet, extends its operational runway, and enables the Company to focus capital and strategic efforts on its wholly owned small molecule pipeline. Ovid has not been pursuing active development of ganaxolone, and the transaction has no impact on its current pipeline programs.


BUSINESS STRATEGY AND UPDATES

Ovid expects its cash runway to support operations and clinical development programs into early second half 2026, during which time multiple pipeline and regulatory milestones are anticipated. These anticipated milestones include topline results for OV329 safety, tolerability and biomarker data (Q3 2025); potential initiation of a Phase 2a patient study for OV329 in drug-resistant epilepsies (Q1 2026); results from the Phase 1 study of OV350 (Q4 2025); and the potential initiation of a proof-of-concept trial for the first oral KCC2 direct activator, OV4071 (Q2 2026).

Given the breadth and depth of its pipeline, and the broad therapeutic opportunity it may yield, the Company will continue to explore a range of strategic options to accelerate development and offset costs, such as partnerships, co-development and regional opportunities for select programs, as well as monetizing equity positions, intellectual property and non-CNS applications of its candidates. The Company will continue to manage its clinical development programs, operations and cash expenditures with fiscal discipline to support the potential achievement of key value-creating clinical milestones.

Cue Biopharma Announces Initiation of Investigator Sponsored Trial of CUE-102 in Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme

  • First patient dosed with CUE-102 for recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (rGBM) at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI)

BOSTON, Aug. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cue Biopharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: CUE), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a novel class of therapeutic biologics to selectively engage and modulate disease-specific T cells for the treatment of autoimmune disease and cancer, announced today the initiation of an investigator sponsored trial (IST) in rGBM at the DFCI with the first patient in the trial having been dosed with CUE-102. The trial (NCT06917885) is a Phase 1b, open-label study of adjuvant CUE-102, the Company’s drug product candidate targeting Wilms’ Tumor 1 protein (WT1) expressing cancers. The principal investigator of the Phase 1b trial, David A. Reardon, MD, is the Clinical Director of the Center for Neuro-Oncology at DFCI and a leader in the field of immunotherapy for the treatment of brain cancer. The goal of the study is to evaluate the tolerability and clinical activity of CUE-102 in patients with GBM at first recurrence.

“Glioblastoma remains one of the most aggressive and hard-to-treat cancers, and as a result, there is a pressing need for more effective therapies. Investigational treatments targeting WT1 in GBM have shown a potential correlation between expansion of antigen-specific T cells and survival,” said Dr. Reardon. “CUE-102 is designed to target tumor cells by activating WT1 specific T cells, which may improve clinical outcomes in recurrent GBM.”

Matteo Levisetti, MD, chief medical officer at Cue Biopharma, added, “Glioblastoma is an immunologically ‘cold’ tumor representing a disadvantage for treatment with standard immunotherapies such as checkpoint inhibitors, but is known to express high levels of the Wilms’ Tumor 1 oncofetal protein. We believe the mechanism of action of CUE-102, to preferentially activate and expand WT1 tumor-specific T cells, has the potential to activate and generate an enhanced anti-tumor immune response against glioblastoma. We are highly encouraged by the clinical data generated to date from the CUE-100 series, CUE-101 and CUE-102, and look forward to reporting results from this investigator sponsored trial.”

About CUE-102

CUE-102 is Cue Biopharma’s second clinical drug candidate from the CUE-100 series of interleukin 2 (IL-2)-based biologics. It is designed to activate and expand Wilms’ Tumor 1 (WT1)-specific T cells by presenting the WT1 peptide to the WT1-specific T cell receptor. WT1 is a well-recognized onco-fetal protein known to be over-expressed in a number of cancers, including solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. CUE-102 has demonstrated anti-tumor activity and a favorable tolerability profile with no dose limited toxicities observed in a Phase 1 open label, dose escalation and expansion trial (NCT05360680), for patients with late-stage colorectal, gastric/gastroesophageal junction, pancreatic and ovarian cancers that express WT1.

About Glioblastoma
Glioblastomas are the most common primary cancer of the brain and the most aggressive type of brain tumor. There are ~13,000 new cases diagnosed each year in the United States. The most common length of survival following diagnosis is ~12 to 15 months, with fewer than ~3 to 5 percent of people surviving longer than five years.

About the CUE-100 Series

The CUE-100 series consists of Fc-fusion biologics that present two signals to T cells. Signal #1 is a tumor-specific peptide linked to a major histocompatibility complex (pMHC) to enable selectivity and specificity. Signal #2 is a rationally engineered interleukin 2 (IL-2) molecule to trigger T cell activation. These singular biologics are anticipated to selectively target, activate and expand a robust repertoire of tumor-specific T cells directly in the patient’s body. The binding affinity of IL-2 for its receptor has been deliberately attenuated to achieve preferential selective activation of tumor-specific effector T cells while reducing the potential for effects on regulatory T cells (Tregs) or broad systemic activation, potentially mitigating the dose-limiting toxicities associated with current IL-2-based therapies.

About Cue Biopharma

Cue Biopharma, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, is developing a novel class of injectable biologics to selectively engage and modulate disease-specific T cells directly within the patient’s body. The company’s proprietary platform, Immuno-STAT® (Selective Targeting and Alteration of T cells), and biologics are designed to harness the curative potential of the body’s intrinsic immune system without the adverse effects of broad systemic immune modulation.

Headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, we are led by an experienced management team with deep expertise in immunology and immuno-oncology as well as the design and clinical development of protein biologics.

Kalaris Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results and Provides Business Updates

Continuing to enroll nAMD patients in a Phase 1 trial of TH103, a novel, differentiated anti-VEGF agent engineered to potentially provide longer-lasting and increased anti-VEGF activity to treat neovascular and exudative diseases of the retina; initial clinical data is expected in Q4 2025

Cash and cash equivalents of $88.4M as of June 30, 2025, expected to fund operations into Q4 2026

PALO ALTO, Calif., Aug. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kalaris Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: KLRS) (“Kalaris”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development and commercialization of treatments for prevalent retinal diseases, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, and provided a business update.

“We continued to enroll treatment-naïve nAMD patients in our open-label Phase 1 clinical trial of TH103 in the second quarter of 2025” said Andrew Oxtoby, Chief Executive Officer of Kalaris Therapeutics. “TH103 has exhibited differentiated anti-VEGF properties in multiple preclinical studies, and we believe it has the potential to improve efficacy and extend treatment duration compared to currently approved agents. We look forward to reporting initial clinical data later this year which will provide an initial read of safety and efficacy data of TH103 at multiple dose levels and help inform the next stage of our clinical development program.”

Business Updates

  • Kalaris is currently enrolling a Phase 1, single ascending dose trial to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary treatment effect of TH103 in neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration (nAMD) patients. Initial clinical data is expected in the fourth quarter of 2025.  
  • Kalaris recently expanded its leadership team with the hire of Kristine Curtiss, Senior Vice President of Clinical. Ms. Curtiss has over 25 years of clinical research and operations experience in ophthalmology-focused biotech companies, overseeing programs and building departments.

Financial Results for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2025

Cash and Cash Equivalents: As of June 30, 2025, Kalaris had cash and cash equivalents of $88.4 million, compared with cash and cash equivalents of $1.6 million as of December 31, 2024. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily a result of the completion of its merger with AlloVir.

Research and Development Expenses: Research and development expenses were $8.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared with $3.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The increase quarter-over-quarter was primarily attributable to an increase in costs related to the outsourcing of manufacturing and clinical-related costs as Kalaris initiated its Phase 1 clinical trial in June 2024.

General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses were $3.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared with $1.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The increase quarter-over-quarter was primarily attributable to an increase in insurance, legal, accounting, and professional fees associated with operating as a public company.

Net Loss: For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, net loss was $11.4 million or $0.61 per share, compared with a net loss of $5.7 million or $4.26 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The total number of shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2025 was 18,702,418.

About Kalaris

Kalaris is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development and commercialization of treatments for prevalent retinal diseases. The company is focused on development of TH103, a novel, differentiated anti-VEGF investigational therapy. Developed by Dr. Napoleone Ferrara, TH103 is a fully humanized, recombinant fusion protein that acts against VEGF as a decoy receptor and has been specifically engineered for potentially improved VEGF inhibition and longer retention in the retina. TH103 is currently being evaluated in an ongoing, Phase 1 clinical trial for the treatment of neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration (nAMD), with plans to develop TH103 for additional neovascular and exudative diseases of the retina such as Diabetic Macular Edema (DME), and Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO).

Great Elm Capital Corp. Announces Amended and Upsized Revolving Credit Facility

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., Aug. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Great Elm Capital Corp. (“we,” “our,” the “Company” or “GECC”) (NASDAQ: GECC), a business development company, today announced it has entered into an amendment to its revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with City National Bank (“CNB”) to, among other things, increase the borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility from $25.0 million to $50.0 million. The amendment allows the Company, under certain circumstances, to increase the overall borrowing capacity to a maximum of $90.0 million. In addition, the amendment reduces the interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility to the applicable Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 2.50% from SOFR plus 3.00%.     

“We are very pleased to announce this amendment to our revolving credit facility with CNB,” said Matt Kaplan, GECC’s Chief Executive Officer. “The increased borrowing capacity is a testament to our growing capital base and strong operational performance since partnering with CNB on the initial $25.0 million commitment in 2021. The amended facility not only reduces our borrowing costs, but it also enhances our flexibility to fund attractive opportunities with compelling, risk-adjusted returns. Additionally, we believe shifting our liability mix to more floating rate debt is a prudent step in the current interest rate environment.”

ProPhase Labs Announces Financial Results for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2025

ProPhase Delivers Significant Operational and Financial Improvements, Advances Multiple Non-Dilutive Liquidity Initiatives, and Targets Transformational Growth Catalysts

Company granted key U.S. patent on BE-Smart



Esophageal Adenocarcinoma Risk Assessment test (August 2025)


Company to hold a virtual conference call Wednesday, August 13, 2025, at 2:00 PM ET

UNIONDALE, NY, Aug. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ProPhase Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRPH), (the “Company” or “ProPhase”) a diversified diagnostics, genomics, and consumer healthcare company, today reported financial and operational results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

Ted Karkus, CEO of ProPhase Labs, will present to shareholders today, Wednesday, August 13, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. ET during the live Virtual Non-Deal Roadshow Series. The details are available below.

Second Quarter 2025 and Year-to-Date Highlights and Subsequent Events

  • Achieved a clear earnings turnaround, including significant positive impacts from subsequent events.
  • Strengthened equity position – Stockholders’ equity increased to $11.5 million at June 30, 2025, from $7.4 million at year-end 2024.
  • Secured final patent covering BE-Smart, strengthening IP portfolio. Accelerated commercialization pathway – BE-Smart positioned for faster market entry following favorable regulatory shifts; development continues under CLIA framework.
  • Streamlined operations – Reduced operating expenses by over 35% YTD through disciplined portfolio optimization and cost controls.
  • Eliminated high-cost debt – Majority of merchant cash advance debt repaid, lowering overhead and increasing financial flexibility.
  • Removed largest monthly cash drain from subsidiaries in Q2 2025.
  • Completed strategic portfolio realignment – Sale of PMI and Pharmaloz Real Estate generated $8.7M gain and eliminated $20M+ in debt/liabilities.
  • Improved margins and narrowed losses in Q2 2025 vs. Q2 2024.

BE-Smart



Esophageal Pre-Cancer Diagnostic Test Continues Towards Commercialization

In August 2025, the United States Patent and Trademark Office granted a key U.S. patent on the Company’s BE-Smart Esophageal Adenocarcinoma Risk Assessment test. ProPhase Labs owns the full intellectual property portfolio behind BE-Smart.

Nebula Genomics Operations Streamlined

Jason Karkus, President of Nebula Genomics stated: “Over the past year, we have successfully transformed Nebula Genomics into a leaner, stronger, and more scalable business. By streamlining operations, exiting our in-house lab, right-sizing our team, optimizing technology expenses, and focusing on high-ROI marketing, we have moved from consistent historical losses, including prior to our acquisition, to a break-even position today, with a clear path to sustained profitability as subscription renewals and cost efficiencies continue. With a stronger cost structure, enhanced sequencing partnerships, and improved customer economics, Nebula is well positioned for the next phase of growth, whether through a strategic sale that delivers immediate value or continued expansion over the next 9 to 12 months to significantly increase enterprise value.”

$50 Million Opportunity with Crown Medical Collections progresses

Crown Medical Collections estimates the recovery of approximately $50 million in insurance payments, net of contingency fees, on behalf of ProPhase. After significant due diligence and preparation, this initiative has moved to important next steps. Due to the nature of litigation, the Company has been advised to be cautious in providing additional details at the current time. In conjunction, management is actively pursuing non-dilutive funding strategies, including Debtor-In-Possession (DIP), or similar financings.

The Company believes that Crown Medical’s efforts should start to generate significant cash flow within the next few months and in some cases, possibly sooner. If Crown’s efforts succeed, this could serve as a significant, non-dilutive financial influx in the second half of 2025 to support strategic development of ProPhase’s core businesses. Notably, the Company currently carries only $20 million dollars total accounts receivable, net, in its financials for this initiative (less than half of what Crown estimates the Company will net.)

New Crypto Treasury Strategy Designed to Capture Upside Without Sacrificing Shareholder Value

The Board has approved a strategic treasury initiative involving the acquisition and long-term holding of select digital assets, including Bitcoin. This initiative is designed as an additional growth lever, complementing, not replacing, our core diagnostics and consumer health businesses. The Company is not pursuing a reverse merger but is seeking to partner with leading players in the crypto space while continuing to advance its core businesses, each with significant underlying value.

In Conjunction with the Company’s Potential Crypto Treasury Strategy, Board Exploring Implementing Guardrails for Share Issuance

The Board is committed to protecting shareholder interests and is evaluating guardrails to avoid unnecessary dilution. The proposed increase in authorized shares to one billion is solely to ensure the flexibility to act quickly if the stock price rises significantly, enabling potential raises of hundreds of millions of dollars at premium valuations with minimal dilution. This disciplined approach mirrors our January 2021 raise of $37.5M at $12.50 per share, well above the $2 per share price months earlier.

Our objective is to generate substantial capital with minimal impact on existing shareholders, while leveraging other potential liquidity events, including the Crown Medical Collections initiative and a possible sale of Nebula Genomics, to fund the crypto treasury strategy without issuing new shares.

The Company will provide additional details regarding this important initiative next week.

CEO Commentary:

Ted Karkus, Chairman and CEO of ProPhase Labs, stated:

“The first half of 2025 was transformational for ProPhase. We divested non-core operations, reduced liabilities by more than ten million dollars, and recorded a significant gain, all while continuing to streamline our cost structure. These steps dramatically improved our balance sheet and sharpened our focus on our highest-potential opportunities in diagnostics and consumer health.

Operationally, we turned gross margins positive and cut our operating loss nearly in half year-over-year. The FDA’s recent non-enforcement stance on LDTs positions our BE-Smart™ test for a faster path to market, and we are executing our plan to bring this important innovation to patients sooner. Our team is committed to disciplined execution and advancing the commercial potential of our core pipeline while aggressively exploring the new crypto treasury initiative.”

CEO to present to Shareholders

ProPhase will also present to shareholders today, August 13, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. ET during the live Virtual Non-Deal Roadshow Series hosted by Renmark Financial Communications Inc. During this presentation, Ted Karkus will offer further insights into the Company’s trajectory and respond to investor questions.

Financial Results

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, net revenue was $1.2 million as compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The Company did not generate any revenues from diagnostic services for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were $0.5 million, comprised of $0.1 million for diagnostic services and $0.4 million for consumer products. Cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $1.7 million, comprised of $0.7 million for diagnostic services and $1.0 million for consumer products.

We realized a gross margin profit of $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to a gross margin loss of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase of $0.9 million was a result of increased consumer products with better margin product mix. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we realized an overall gross margin of 58.9% and (10.3)%, respectively. Gross margin for diagnostic services was zero or not applicable due to no revenue in the 2025 and 2024 comparable periods, respectively. Gross margin for consumer products was 67.8% and 36.8% in the 2025 and 2024 comparable periods, respectively. Gross margin for consumer products have historically been influenced by fluctuations in quarter-to-quarter production volume, fixed production costs and related overhead absorption, raw ingredient costs, inventory mark to market write-downs and timing of shipments to customers.

General and administration expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were $4.6 million as compared to $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in general and administration expenses of $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 was principally related to a decrease in personnel expenses, overhead costs and professional fees and removal of costs related to the divestiture of PMI.

Research and development costs for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were $4,000 as compared to $140,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in research and development costs of $136,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 was principally due to decreased activities related to product research and field testing as a result of refined focus and efforts.

As a result of the effects described above, net loss from the continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $4.5 million, or $(0.11) per share, as compared $5.5 million, or $(0.29) per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Diluted loss per share related to the continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were $(0.11) per share and $(0.29) per share, respectively.

Our aggregate cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2025 were $169,000 as compared to $678,000 at December 31, 2024. Our working capital deficit was $1.1 million and $1.5 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The decrease of approximately $0.5 million in our cash and cash equivalents for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was principally due to $4.2 million cash used in operating activities and repayment of notes payable for $2.5 million, offset by proceeds from issuance of common stock and notes payable of $4.7 million. We also received $800,000 from sale of PMI. Total stockholders’ equity increased to $11.4 million as of March 31, 2025 as compared to $7.4 million at December 31, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliation

In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding our results of operations as determined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures. The primary non-GAAP financial measures we disclose are EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

We define “EBITDA” as net income (loss) before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA further adjusts EBITDA by excluding acquisition costs, other non-cash items, and other unusual or non-recurring charges (as described in the table below).

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting, differ from GAAP measures with the same names and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar names that are used by other companies. We compute non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter and year to year. We may consider whether other significant items that arise in the future should be excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures.

We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA internally to evaluate and manage the Company’s operations because we believe they provide useful supplemental information regarding the Company’s ongoing economic performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating results primarily because they exclude amounts that are not considered part of ongoing operating results when planning and forecasting and when assessing the performance of the organization. In addition, we believe that non-GAAP financial information is used by analysts and others in the investment community to analyze our historical results and in providing estimates of future performance and that failure to report these non-GAAP measures could result in confusion among analysts and others and create a misplaced perception that our results have underperformed or exceeded expectations.

The following table sets forth the reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA excluding other costs to the most comparable GAAP financial measures (in thousands):

  For the three months ended
  June 30, 2025   June 30, 2024
GAAP loss from continuing operations (1) $ (4,472 )   $ (5,463 )
Interest, net   587       522   
Income tax benefit   779       (2,287 )
Depreciation and amortization   1,349       1,536  
EBITDA   (1,757 )     (5,692 )
Share-based compensation expense   508       796  
Non-cash rent expense (2)   442       67  
Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations $ (807 )   $ (4,829 )



(1)
We believe that net loss from continuing operations is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP that is most directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA measure the Company’s operating performance without regard to certain expenses. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not presentations made in accordance with GAAP and the Company’s computation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may vary from others in the industry. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have important limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP.

(2) The non-cash portion of rent, which reflects the extent to which our GAAP rent expense recognized exceeds (or is less than) our cash rent payments. For newer leases, our rent expense recognized typically exceeds our cash rent payments, while for more mature leases, rent expense recognized is typically less than our cash rent payments.

Momentus Secures NASA Contract to Study the Launch of Robotic Technologies for Future Space Exploration

Pioneering in-space robotics lays groundwork for future autonomous missions and orbital servicing innovation

SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Momentus Inc. (NASDAQ: MNTS), a U.S. commercial space company offering satellites, satellite components, and in-space transportation and services, announced today that it was awarded a contract by NASA to perform a study to fly critical foundational robotics technologies into space. Momentus has subsequently completed work under this initial contract and expects to submit a proposal to NASA to fly a follow-on mission that would demonstrate this cutting-edge technology in space. NASA expects to award a contract in September and Momentus is one of two companies under evaluation for this larger contract for the follow-on mission planned by NASA.

This mission marks a pivotal step in NASA’s ongoing efforts to test and validate key technologies that could support the next era of space exploration and stimulate commercial robotic servicing operations in orbit.

The contract, awarded under NASA’s Flight Opportunities program managed by the agency’s Space Technology Mission Directorate, tasked Momentus to conduct a terrestrial study that explored options to fly advanced robotic systems in space aboard one of its upcoming orbital service vehicle flights. These technologies are designed to demonstrate autonomous robotic maneuvers and operations that could inform future on-orbit servicing, debris mitigation, satellite assembly, and lunar surface operations. The contract also included the development of a commercialization plan to demonstrate that space robotics can be applied in space in commercially meaningful use cases at commercially viable price points.

“This win demonstrates our commitment to advancing space infrastructure by supporting innovative technologies that can transform how we operate in space,” said John Rood, CEO of Momentus. “We’re honored to be entrusted by NASA to help mature these cutting-edge robotics systems. Space robotics is rapidly becoming a strategic capability that we expect to leverage in the future to support customers in the commercial and national security sectors.”

The study designed a mission that leverages the Vigoride orbital service vehicle, Momentus’ flagship spacecraft designed to transport and deploy payloads with precision. Vigoride is also used as a satellite bus with payloads for missions such as communications and missile tracking. A potential test flight could allow NASA and its partners to assess the performance of robotics systems in microgravity, paving the way for more complex autonomous operations in space.
