MeiraGTx Holdings 2025 Q2 Earnings Significant Loss Reduction Amid Strong Revenue Surge

MeiraGTx Holdings (MGTX) reported its fiscal 2025 Q2 earnings on August 14, 2025. The company delivered strong top-line performance but still reported a net loss, though it significantly narrowed compared to the prior year. With revenue surging 1208.9% and losses per share improving by 36.8%, the results reflect progress in key therapeutic programs.

MeiraGTx Holdings (MGTX) posted revenue of $3.69 million in the second quarter of 2025, a significant 1208.9% increase compared to $282,000 in the same period in 2024. The growth was driven entirely by service revenue from related-party transactions, which accounted for the full $3.69 million. This represents a major step forward for the company as it continues to build out its pipeline and partnerships.

The company narrowed its net loss to $38.80 million in 2025 Q2, a 20.2% reduction from the $48.62 million loss in 2024 Q2. On a per-share basis, the loss improved to $0.48 from $0.76, representing a 36.8% improvement. While still in the red, the results indicate positive strides in cost control and operational efficiency. However, the company has sustained losses for seven consecutive years in this period, underscoring ongoing financial challenges. The earnings performance suggests a modest improvement in its core operating metrics.

The stock price for MeiraGTx Holdings (MGTX) has shown mixed performance in recent weeks. It edged down 1.30% during the latest trading day, yet it rebounded with a 9.32% gain over the past full trading week. For the month to date, the stock has declined 2.80%, reflecting market uncertainty and investor caution following the earnings report.

The strategy experienced a maximum drawdown of 0.00% and a Sharpe ratio of -0.24, highlighting its high risk and poor return relative to the broader market.

Alexandria Forbes, Ph.D., President and CEO of MeiraGTx, highlighted key regulatory advancements, including alignment with the FDA and MHRA on the Phase 2 AQUAx2 study for AAV-hAQP1 in radiation-induced xerostomia and the RMAT designation for AAV-GAD in Parkinson’s disease. She emphasized the company's focus on advancing its late-stage programs and leveraging AI imaging data for future labeling potential. Forbes also noted the plan to initiate first-in-human studies using the riboswitch platform by year-end 2025, signaling a robust R&D pipeline.

MeiraGTx expects to complete enrollment in the Phase 2 AQUAx2 study by late 2025, with data readout anticipated in late 2026. The company also plans to file for Marketing Authorization Approval (MAA) in the U.K. and BLA in the U.S. for LCA4 in Q4 2025. AAV-GAD Phase 3 study initiation is expected later in 2025, while first-in-human trials using the riboswitch platform are targeted for completion by year-end 2025.
