Belite Bio Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results and Provides a Corporate Update
SAN DIEGO, Aug. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Belite Bio, Inc (NASDAQ: BLTE), a clinical-stage drug development company focused on advancing novel therapeutics targeting degenerative retinal diseases that have significant unmet medical needs, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, and provided a general business update. 'This quarter, we remained on track with the strategic objectives we outlined at the start of the year, including the completion of enrollment in our pivotal Phase 3 PHOENIX trial — an important milestone in our development efforts for people living with geographic atrophy,' said Dr. Tom Lin, Chairman and CEO of Belite Bio. 'We also received Breakthrough Therapy Designation for Tinlarebant for the treatment of Stargardt disease from the FDA, underscoring its potential as the first-ever treatment for this patient population and acknowledging the significant unmet need for people living with this debilitating disease. With the DRAGON trial on track to complete by the end of this year, we remain focused on advancing Tinlarebant toward key clinical and regulatory milestones.' Second Quarter 2025 Business Highlights and Upcoming Milestones: Clinical Highlights Tinlarebant (LBS-008) is an oral, potent, once-daily, retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) antagonist that decreases RBP4 levels in the blood and reduces vitamin A (retinol) delivery to the eye without disrupting systemic retinol delivery to other tissues. Vitamin A is critical for normal vision but can accumulate as toxic byproducts in individuals affected with STGD1 and GA, the advanced form of dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD), leading to retinal cell death and loss of vision. Corporate Highlights Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results: Current Assets: As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $149.2 million in cash, liquidity funds, time deposits, and U.S treasury bills. R&D Expenses: For the three months ended June 30, 2025, research and development expenses were $11.0 million compared to $9.1 million for the same period in 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, research and development expenses were $20.4 million compared to $15.8 million for the same period in 2024. The increase in research and development expenses in both the quarter and year-to-date was primarily attributable to (i) higher pass-through expenses related to the PHOENIX trial and manufacturing expenses payments, partially offset by lower DRAGON trial expenses and a development milestone payment for the completion of a phase 2 trial in 2024; (ii) an increase in share-based compensation expenses. G&A Expenses: For the three months ended June 30, 2025, general and administrative expenses were $6.5 million compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, general and administration expenses were $12.7 million compared to $3.0 million for the same period in 2024. The increase in general and administrative expenses in both the quarter and year-to-date was primarily due to an increase in share-based compensation expenses. Other Income: For the three months ended June 30, 2025, other income was $1.3 million compared to $1.0 million for the same period in 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, other income was $2.5 million compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 2024. The increase in both the quarter and year-to-date was attributed to interest from time deposits and U.S. treasury bills. Net Loss: For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company reported a net loss of $16.3 million, compared to a net loss of $9.5 million for the same period in 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company reported a net loss of $30.6 million, compared to a net loss of $17.4 million for the same period in 2024.

To join the webcast, please visit A replay will be available for approximately 90 days following the event.

The 3 Things That Matter for Moderna Now
Key Points Moderna's coronavirus franchise faces regulatory threats, and its other approved vaccine isn't gaining traction. The biotech does have several exciting clinical programs in development. Moderna may offer substantial upside, but it's essential to consider the associated risks. 10 stocks we like better than Moderna › Since hitting their peak in late 2021, Moderna's (NASDAQ: MRNA) shares are down by more than 90%. The biotech company gained recognition by developing one of the leading coronavirus vaccines on the market, but its revenue and earnings subsequently plummeted as the pandemic waned. Can Moderna rebound and surpass its previous highs? Whether it can do so will depend on several key developments investors should pay close attention to. Let's consider three. 1. Will new recommendations limit its COVID-19 vaccine revenue? Moderna continues to generate decent annual revenue from its coronavirus vaccine, Spikevax. In the second quarter, the company reported $114 million in sales from this product. It's essential to note, though, that Spikevax generates most of its revenue during the second half of the year. Moderna expects its total revenue to be between $1.5 billion and $2.2 billion this year, with the majority of this revenue coming from Spikevax. Most medicines or vaccines never generate more than $1 billion in annual revenue, so Moderna's performance in this market is still noteworthy. However, regulatory developments could impact Moderna's sales of its COVID-19 vaccine. In the U.S., regulatory authorities have changed recommendation guidelines and requirements. The focus is now on targeting older adults, and those who may be at risk of severe COVID-related complications based on one or more factors that increase this risk. The vaccine is no longer being recommended for healthy adults at average risk. It will be important to see how these recent developments impact Moderna's financial results. 2. Can its RSV vaccine make headway? Last year, Moderna earned approval for mResvia, a vaccine for lower respiratory tract disease caused by the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), for adults age 60 and older. Although it was one of the first RSV vaccines to reach the market, it has generated negligible sales so far. However, it recently received a label expansion in the U.S. for adults age 18 to 59 and has also gained approval in several other countries, including the U.K., Australia, and Switzerland. Moderna's CEO, Stéphane Bancel, estimates that approximately 40 million people in the U.S. alone are eligible for an RSV vaccine. Moderna could still make strong sales from mResvia as it makes headway into this market and others abroad. But with competition from several other players, how will this product progress, especially with recent new approvals and label expansions? Investors should keep an eye on that. 3. Will there be promising developments from late-stage candidates? Perhaps the most critical aspect of Moderna's business to pay attention to right now is its late-stage pipeline. The company has several candidates that are in phase 3 studies or have already demonstrated efficacy in late-stage trials. It recently announced positive data from a phase 3 study for its investigational influenza vaccine, mRNA-1010. Although several competitors have already been on the market for a while, flu-vaccine efficacy tends to be relatively low. That's partly why last year 600,000 patients were hospitalized due to flu-related complications in the U.S. There's a need for new options here, and Moderna's candidate may be the answer. Elsewhere, the biotech is running late-stage studies for mRNA-4157, an investigational personalized cancer vaccine it's developing in collaboration with Merck. In a phase 2 study, mRNA-4157 significantly reduced the risk of recurrence or death when paired with Merck's Keytruda in patients with advanced melanoma, compared to Keytruda alone. If Moderna can replicate this success in phase 3 studies and launch this product, it would be a meaningful approval for its lineup. The company also has other late-stage candidates, including mRNA-1647, a potential vaccine for cytomegalovirus (CMV); there is currently no approved vaccine for this virus. Strong clinical progress across these programs (and others) could jolt Moderna's stock. Is Moderna's stock a buy? Moderna has a deep pipeline of mRNA vaccine candidates, extending beyond the ones discussed. The biotech is also recording decent annual revenue from its two approved products. Provided it can continue innovating and significantly improve its lineup in the next few years, its share price could jump. Furthermore, Moderna has been engaged in cost-cutting efforts, which should help it navigate the somewhat precarious economic conditions it faces. The stock carries above-average risk, given the difficulty of predicting sales of Moderna's approved products, and the potential consequences of a significant clinical setback (a threat biotech investors routinely face). However, Moderna also boasts considerable upside potential. Those comfortable with the risk should seriously consider the stock. Do the experts think Moderna is a buy right now?
