SELLAS Life Sciences Group Inc (NASDAQ:SLS) Reports Q2 2025 Earnings: Narrower Loss and Clinical Progress Amid Revenue Challenges

SELLAS Life Sciences Group Inc (NASDAQ:SLS) reported its second-quarter 2025 financial results, with earnings per share (EPS) of -$0.07, slightly better than the analyst consensus estimate of -$0.0832. Revenue for the quarter remained at $0.0, in line with expectations. The company’s stock showed muted after-hours movement, rising just 0.62%, while broader performance over the past month has been negative, with shares down 15.26%.

Key Financial Takeaways

• EPS Beat: The reported loss of $0.07 per share was narrower than the anticipated $0.0832 loss, though still reflecting the company’s clinical-stage status with no commercial revenue.
• Revenue In Line: As expected, SELLAS recorded no revenue, consistent with its focus on advancing clinical trials rather than commercialization.
• Cash Position: The company reported $25.3 million in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2025, supplemented by an additional $4.0 million from warrant exercises in July.

Market Reaction

The modest after-hours uptick suggests cautious optimism, likely tied to the slight EPS beat and updates on clinical progress. However, the stock’s longer-term decline over the past month indicates broader investor skepticism or profit-taking following earlier volatility. Given the lack of revenue and ongoing cash burn, the market appears to be weighing clinical milestones more heavily than financials at this stage.

Clinical and Regulatory Highlights

The earnings release emphasized several key developments:

• REGAL Trial Progress: The Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) recommended continuing the Phase 3 REGAL trial of galinpepimut-S (GPS) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) without modifications, with final analysis expected by year-end 2025.
• SLS009 Phase 2 Success: Positive results were reported in relapsed/refractory AML, with the trial meeting all primary endpoints. Full data will be presented later this year.
• FDA Alignment: SELLAS plans to advance SLS009 into a first-line AML trial, with enrollment targeted for Q1 2026.

Outlook vs. Analyst Estimates

While the press release did not provide explicit financial guidance, analysts currently project full-year 2025 EPS at -$0.35 and revenue at $0.0, reflecting expectations of continued R&D investment. The Q3 2025 EPS estimate stands at -$0.09, suggesting a similar trajectory.
