Celcuity (NASDAQ:CELC) Posts Earnings Results

Celcuity (NASDAQ:CELC) issued its quarterly earnings data on Thursday. The company reported ($1.21) earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, beating the consensus estimate of ($1.51) by $0.30, FiscalAI reports.

Here are the key takeaways from Celcuity’s conference call:

• Commercial launch of REVTORPYK is off to a strong early start: within about a month of availability, 78% of Celcuity’s 36 priority accounts had ordered the drug, and 91% of U.S. commercial and Medicare lives were covered. The company also reported a preferred NCCN recommendation and inclusion in three of four major provider pathways.
• VIKTORIA-1 results presented at ESMO showed encouraging efficacy across patient subgroups, including median progression-free survival of 21.5 months for the triplet in patients without liver metastases, and higher response rates than the comparator. Celcuity also highlighted lower treatment-discontinuation rates with gedatolisib regimens, while noting the results are from clinical trials.
• Potential growth extends beyond the current second-line indication: Celcuity expects to submit data for the PIK3CA-mutant cohort to global regulators, is conducting first-line breast cancer trials, and plans a randomized phase II prostate cancer study in the first half of 2027. These programs remain subject to clinical and regulatory outcomes.
• Third-quarter net loss widened to $73.3 million from $43.8 million a year earlier as operating expenses rose, largely reflecting commercial launch investment. Celcuity ended the quarter with $642.7 million in cash, equivalents and short-term investments and said it expects funding through 2029; it reported no product revenue in the quarter.
