Evogene Ltd. (NASDAQ: EVGN) reported its Q2 2025 earnings, showcasing a notable increase in revenue and significant cost reductions. The company's revenue grew to $3.227 million, up from $2.294 million in the same period last year, marking a 41.5% year-over-year (YoY) increase [2]. Despite the revenue growth, Evogene reported a net loss of $7.671 million, narrowing from a $9.830 million loss in the first half of 2024.

The company's focus on leveraging its computational predictive biology platform for innovation and growth remains unchanged. Evogene's CEO, Ofer Haviv, emphasized the strategic direction of the company and the importance of AI development in a recent earnings call [3]. The company's total assets decreased to $33.926 million, while total liabilities reduced to $21.551 million, indicating a more manageable financial position.

Evogene's Q2 results reflect both challenges and strategic pivots. The company's revenue growth was primarily driven by strong seed sales from the Casterra subsidiary and a cost reduction plan implemented during the period [2]. The company saw a significant decrease in total operating expenses for the first half of 2025, to approximately $7.7 million from $11.1 million in the previous year, a 30.6% reduction [2]. This decrease is mainly attributed to reduced activity levels across subsidiaries, including reduced R&D activities at Biomica and the discontinuation of operations at Canonic [2].

Evogene's stock showed resilience, with a slight pre-market uptick of 0.75% to $1.35 per share following the earnings announcement [3]. Despite missing earnings expectations, the company's stock movement reflects investor optimism towards its strategic cost reductions and future growth prospects. The stock remains within its 52-week range of $0.95 to $4.166.

Evogene projects an operational runway of approximately 18 months, focusing on further investments in its Campus AI platform and anticipates new partnerships in pharmaceuticals and agriculture [3]. The company anticipates Biomica to complete clinical trials by early 2026, further bolstering its growth prospects.
