Article content Research and Development (R&D). Article content R&D expenses were $29.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to $14.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $15.2 million. The net increase of $15.2 million was primarily related to increases of $14.5 million related to our MM120 ODT program, $1.5 million in internal personnel costs as a result of increased headcount, and $0.2 million related to preclinical activities, offset by a decrease of $1.0 million in MM402 program expenses based on the timing of studies. Article content General and Administrative (G&A). Article content G&A expenses were $11.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to $9.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $1.3 million. The increase was primarily related to increases in personnel costs as a result of increased headcount. Article content Net Loss. Article content Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, was $42.7 million, compared to $5.9 million for the same period in 2024, a decrease of $36.8 million. The decrease was primarily due to increases in operating expenses of $16.4 million, changes in the fair value of warrants issued in our September 2022 underwritten offering of $15.6 million, the absence of a $2.5 million gain on extinguishment of contribution payable from 2024 and increased interest expense related primarily to the amendment of our credit facility of $1.8 million.

Article content About MM120 Orally Disintegrating Tablet (ODT) Article content MM120 ODT (lysergide D-tartrate or LSD) is a synthetic ergotamine belonging to the group of classic, or serotonergic, psychedelics which acts as a partial agonist at human serotonin-2A (5-HT2A) receptors. MM120 ODT is MindMed's proprietary and pharmaceutically optimized form of LSD. MM120 ODT is an advanced formulation incorporating Catalent's Zydis® ODT fast-dissolve technology which has a unique clinical profile with more rapid absorption, improved bioavailability and reduced gastrointestinal side effects. MindMed is developing MM120, the tartrate salt form of lysergide, for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), major depressive disorder (MDD), and is exploring its potential applications in other serious brain health disorders. Article content About MM402 Article content MM402 is the Company's proprietary form of R(-)-MDMA (rectus-3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine), being developed for the treatment of core symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). MDMA is a synthetic molecule that is often referred to as an empathogen because it is reported to increase feelings of connectedness and compassion. Preclinical studies of R(-)-MDMA demonstrate its acute pro-social and empathogenic effects, while its diminished dopaminergic activity suggest that it has the potential to exhibit less stimulant activity, neurotoxicity, hyperthermia and abuse liability compared to racemic MDMA or the S(+)-enantiomer. Article content About MindMed Article content MindMed is a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company developing novel product candidates to treat brain health disorders. Our mission is to be the global leader in the development and delivery of treatments that unlock new opportunities to improve patient outcomes. We are developing a pipeline of innovative product candidates, with and without acute perceptual effects, targeting neurotransmitter pathways that play key roles in brain health.

Why Mind Medicine Gave Investors a Powerful Buzz in May
Connecticut lawmakers advanced a bill that would decriminalize psilocybin if ultimately passed. Investors were also cheered by a C-suite appointment. 10 stocks we like better than Mind Medicine (MindMed) › Mind Medicine (NASDAQ: MNMD), a healthcare company that's looking to develop treatments based on psychedelic compounds, was something of a sleeper stock in May. Several positive developments pushed the highly specialized enterprise's share price higher, to the point where it closed the month up almost 14% in price. The main driver of this gain was a small step forward in the decriminalization of psilocybin. That's the psychoactive compound that Mind Medicine -- or MindMed, as it's known for short -- is aiming to develop into substances that can help treat certain psychological disorders. That tiny movement forward came from the Connecticut House of Representatives, which in mid-May passed a bill that would drastically change the legal status of psilocybin. It now must go through a process that includes a vote in the state Senate before it can become law. In its current form, the bill would decriminalize the substance, chiefly found in so-called "magic" mushrooms, to the point where possession of a small amount would be punishable only by a $150 fine. That's quite a shift from the current regime, in which violators can be sentenced to jail time. The vote in the House was narrow, however, with 74 in favor versus 65 against, and Gov. Ned Lamont rejected an earlier psilocybin decriminalization bill, so this wasn't exactly a slam dunk. Still, MindMed investors saw it as a win that there's continued movement on nudging the substance toward at least a soft form of legalization. Company management is clearly anticipating movement on the decriminalization front, whether or not the Connecticut effort is successful. Toward the end of May, the company announced it had appointed a new CFO. Brandi Roberts wasted little time in formally taking up the position several days later. Roberts has significant experience as a CFO in various businesses in the life sciences sector, which should help boost the credibility and viability of Mind Medicine. According to the company, her experience also includes bringing her previous employer, Longboard Pharmaceuticals, to its initial public offering and later being instrumental in its sale to Denmark-based peer H. Lundbeck. Things were looking up for MindMed in May, but we should always bear in mind that as a company focused on a substance that is currently illegal throughout the U.S., it remains a very speculative investment. I like its uniqueness, and I feel that if the legal framework shifts it could do quite interesting work. But this is a stock for investors with high risk tolerance only.
