Veru Inc. reported a net loss of $5.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, a decrease from a net loss of $8.9 million in the same period the previous year. The company's total operating expenses fell to $5.4 million, down from $10.9 million in the prior year, primarily due to reduced research and development costs associated with the completion of its Phase 2b QUALITY clinical study for enobosarm. Research and development expenses decreased significantly to $1.3 million from $5.7 million, while general and administrative expenses also saw a decline to $4.1 million from $5.2 million, largely due to lower share-based compensation.
In terms of financial position, Veru's cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash increased to $33.0 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $15.8 million at the end of the previous fiscal year. This increase was attributed to a successful public offering completed on October 31, 2025, which raised approximately $23.4 million in net proceeds. The company’s working capital improved to $29.7 million, up from $11.1 million, reflecting a stronger liquidity position.
Strategically, Veru has shifted its focus following the sale of its FC2 business in December 2024 and the ENTADFI assets in April 2023. The company is now concentrating on advancing its drug candidates, enobosarm and sabizabulin, which target obesity and cardiovascular diseases, respectively. The Phase 2b PLATEAU clinical study for enobosarm is expected to begin in early 2026, aiming to evaluate its efficacy in older patients with obesity. The FDA has provided feedback indicating that incremental weight loss with enobosarm could serve as an acceptable primary endpoint for regulatory approval.
Operationally, Veru has not generated any revenue from continuing operations during the reported quarter, as it continues to focus on drug development. The company has also reported a significant reduction in its employee headcount, which has contributed to lower operational costs. Despite these positive developments, Veru has expressed concerns regarding its ability to continue as a going concern, citing the need for substantial capital to support ongoing drug development and commercialization efforts. The company plans to seek additional funding through equity offerings and other financing sources to meet its operational needs in the coming year.
