Spero Therapeutics Inc (SPRO) Q2 2025 Earnings Call Highlights: Tepipenem HBR Trial Success and ...
Release Date: August 12, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points The phase 3 Pivot PO trial for tepipenem HBR in complicated urinary tract infections (CUTIs) met its primary endpoint and was stopped early for efficacy. Tepipenem HBR demonstrated non-inferiority to intravenous imipenem cilastatin in hospitalized adult patients with CUTIs, including pyelonephritis. The trial's early stopping for efficacy resulted in meaningful cost savings, extending Spero Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:SPRO)'s cash runway into 2028. Spero Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:SPRO) reported an increase in total revenue for Q2 2025 to $14.2 million, up from $10.2 million in Q2 2024, primarily due to collaboration revenue from GSK. The company achieved a significant reduction in R&D expenses, from $23.7 million in Q2 2024 to $10.7 million in Q2 2025, due to reduced clinical expenses related to the Pivot PO study. Negative Points The SPR 720 program did not meet its primary endpoint in a phase 2A proof of concept study for non-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease. Potential dose-limiting safety signals were observed in the SPR 720 study, including cases of reversible grade 3 hepatotoxicity. Spero Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:SPRO) reported a net loss of $1.7 million for Q2 2025, although this was an improvement from a $17.9 million loss in Q2 2024. General and administrative expenses increased to $5.9 million in Q2 2025 from $5.5 million in Q2 2024, primarily due to increased personnel and professional services expenses. The FDA action on the regulatory filing for tepipenem HBR is not expected until the second half of 2026, indicating a lengthy approval process. Q & A Highlights Warning! GuruFocus has detected 3 Warning Signs with SPRO. Q: How is Spero Therapeutics planning to allocate capital moving forward? Will the focus be on business development or pipeline expansion? A: (Unidentified_6) Our primary objective is to ensure that Tepipenem HBR gets through the regulatory process and achieves approval, as this will be the main value driver. Our current financial runway is designed to support this goal. Once we have a clearer path to approval, we will make further decisions regarding capital allocation. Q: Can you provide more details on the financial impact of the Pivot PO trial's early conclusion? A: (Esther Rajavello, CEO and CFO) The early conclusion of the Pivot PO trial for efficacy has resulted in significant cost savings, which we anticipate will extend our cash runway into 2028. This is primarily due to reduced clinical expenses as fewer patients were enrolled than initially planned. Q: What are the next steps for SPR 720 following the phase 2A trial results? A: (Tim Kreutzer, COO) The phase 2A trial for SPR 720 did not meet its primary endpoint, and we observed potential dose-limiting safety signals. We have completed the assessment of the full data set and are currently determining the next steps for the program. Q: What is the expected timeline for FDA action on Tepipenem HBR? A: (Esther Rajavello, CEO and CFO) We plan to work with GSK to include the Pivot PO data in an FDA filing by the end of 2025. We currently anticipate FDA action in the second half of 2026. Q: How does Spero Therapeutics view the market potential for Tepipenem HBR? A: (Tim Kreutzer, COO) We believe Tepipenem HBR has the potential to significantly impact the treatment landscape for complicated urinary tract infections (CUTIs) by offering an oral alternative to the standard IV carbapenem therapy. This could represent a major clinical advance and provide economic benefits to the healthcare system.

Spero Therapeutics Announces Second Quarter 2025 Operating Results and Provides a Business Update
PIVOT-PO Phase 3 trial evaluating tebipenem Hbr in complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI) patients stopped early for efficacy following review by independent data monitoring committee (IDMC) Spero, along with its development partner, GSK, plans to submit data from the PIVOT-PO trial as part of a planned US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) filing in 2H 2025 Existing cash and earned and non-contingent development milestone payments from GSK provide anticipated runway to fund the Company's current operating expenses and capital expenditures into 2028 CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Aug. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Spero Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: SPRO), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on identifying and developing novel treatments for rare diseases and multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacterial infections, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, and provided a business update. 'During the second quarter, we announced that the tebipenem Phase 3 PIVOT-PO trial met its primary endpoint, marking a significant milestone for this program. We look forward to working with GSK on next steps for this program which include completion of the Phase 3 data analysis and submission of the data package to the FDA,' said Esther Rajavelu, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Spero. 'There remains a critical unmet need for an oral carbapenem to treat complicated urinary tract infections, including pyelonephritis. If approved, we believe tebipenem HBr could set a new standard of care for these infections, with the potential to shorten hospital stays, improve patient outcomes, and reduce pressure on healthcare resources.' Pipeline UpdateTebipenem HBr is an investigational oral carbapenem antibiotic being developed for the treatment of cUTI, including pyelonephritis, to help patients potentially reduce the duration of in-patient therapy. Spero granted GSK an exclusive license to commercialize tebipenem HBr in all territories, except certain Asian territories where Meiji holds development and commercialization rights. In May 2025, Spero and its development partner GSK announced that the Phase 3 PIVOT-PO trial met the primary endpoint of non-inferiority of tebipenem HBr compared to intravenous imipenem-cilastatin in hospitalized adult patients with cUTI, including pyelonephritis, on overall response (composite of clinical cure plus microbiological eradication) at the test-of-cure visit. The IDMC review did not identify any new safety concerns beyond what has been reported in other studies with tebipenem, with diarrhea and headache as the two most reported adverse events. GSK plans to work with U.S. regulatory authorities to include these data as part of a filing in 2H 2025. Full results will be submitted for presentation at an upcoming scientific meeting and for publication in a peer-reviewed journal. For more information on the PIVOT-PO trial, please refer to ID NCT06059846. SPR720 is an investigational, chemically stable phosphate ester prodrug that is converted rapidly in vivo to SPR719, the active moiety, after oral administration. SPR719 targets the ATPase site of DNA gyrase B in mycobacteria, a mechanism that is distinct from that of other antibiotics in use for nontuberculous mycobacterium pulmonary disease (NTM-PD). The oral development program in NTM-PD was suspended in 4Q 2024. This followed a planned interim analysis of 16 patients dosed in the Phase 2a trial, which demonstrated the trial did not meet its primary endpoint. The Company is determining next steps for the program. Corporate Update Esther Rajavelu was appointed as Spero's President and Chief Executive Officer, effective May 2, 2025. Ms. Rajavelu was also elected to the Board of Directors at Spero's 2025 annual meeting of stockholders. She continues to serve as the Company's Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. As of June 30, 2025, Spero had cash and cash equivalents of $31.2 million. Spero estimates that its existing cash and cash equivalents, together with earned and noncontingent development milestone payments from GSK, including the final development milestone payment under the GSK License Agreement of $23.8 million received in August 2025, will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditures into 2028. Pursuant to the GSK License Agreement, Spero has adjusted the aggregate potential commercial milestone payments contingent upon first sales from up to $150.0 million to up to $101.0 million after PIVOT-PO was stopped early for efficacy. The trial was stopped early following completion of a pre-specified interim analysis with 1,690 patients enrolled in the trial, reducing the overall costs to Spero; the maximum potential milestone payment of $150.0 million was contingent upon the trial continuing to full enrollment with 2,637 patients enrolled in the trial. All other contingent milestone payments remain unchanged. For further details on upcoming milestones, please review the disclosure in our Form 10-Q, filed today. Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results Spero reported a net loss of $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to a net loss of $17.9 million for the second quarter of 2024, or a diluted net loss per share of common stock of $0.03 and $0.33, respectively. Total revenue for the second quarter of 2025 was $14.2 million, compared with total revenue of $10.2 million for the second quarter of 2024. The revenue increase for the second quarter of 2025 was primarily due to collaboration revenue from GSK. Research and development expenses for the second quarter of 2025 were $10.7 million, compared to $23.7 million of research and development expenses for the same period in 2024. The decrease in research and development expenses compared with the prior year period was primarily due to reduced clinical expenses related to the PIVOT-PO trial. General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2025 were $5.9 million, compared to $5.5 million of general and administrative expenses for the same period in 2024. This increase compared with the prior year-period was primarily due to increased personnel and professional service expense. For further details on Spero's financials, refer to Spero's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) today. Conference Call and Live Webcast Spero management will host a conference call and live audio webcast at 4:30 p.m. ET today, August 12, 2025, to discuss the second quarter financial results and provide a business update.

While institutions own 20% of Spero Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:SPRO), retail investors are its largest shareholders with 54% ownership
Significant control over Spero Therapeutics by retail investors implies that the general public has more power to influence management and governance-related decisions A total of 25 investors have a majority stake in the company with 44% ownership Institutions own 20% of Spero Therapeutics Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. Every investor in Spero Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:SPRO) should be aware of the most powerful shareholder groups. We can see that retail investors own the lion's share in the company with 54% ownership. That is, the group stands to benefit the most if the stock rises (or lose the most if there is a downturn). Meanwhile, institutions make up 20% of the company's shareholders. Insiders often own a large chunk of younger, smaller, companies while huge companies tend to have institutions as shareholders. In the chart below, we zoom in on the different ownership groups of Spero Therapeutics. Check out our latest analysis for Spero Therapeutics Institutions typically measure themselves against a benchmark when reporting to their own investors, so they often become more enthusiastic about a stock once it's included in a major index. We would expect most companies to have some institutions on the register, especially if they are growing. As you can see, institutional investors have a fair amount of stake in Spero Therapeutics. This suggests some credibility amongst professional investors. But we can't rely on that fact alone since institutions make bad investments sometimes, just like everyone does. If multiple institutions change their view on a stock at the same time, you could see the share price drop fast. It's therefore worth looking at Spero Therapeutics' earnings history below. Of course, the future is what really matters. Our data indicates that hedge funds own 6.8% of Spero Therapeutics. That's interesting, because hedge funds can be quite active and activist. Many look for medium term catalysts that will drive the share price higher. The company's largest shareholder is SR One Capital Management, LP, with ownership of 16%. In comparison, the second and third largest shareholders hold about 6.8% and 4.2% of the stock. A deeper look at our ownership data shows that the top 25 shareholders collectively hold less than half of the register, suggesting a large group of small holders where no single shareholder has a majority. While it makes sense to study institutional ownership data for a company, it also makes sense to study analyst sentiments to know which way the wind is blowing. While there is some analyst coverage, the company is probably not widely covered. So it could gain more attention, down the track. The definition of an insider can differ slightly between different countries, but members of the board of directors always count. Company management run the business, but the CEO will answer to the board, even if he or she is a member of it. Insider ownership is positive when it signals leadership are thinking like the true owners of the company. However, high insider ownership can also give immense power to a small group within the company. This can be negative in some circumstances. Shareholders would probably be interested to learn that insiders own shares in Spero Therapeutics, Inc.. As individuals, the insiders collectively own US$3.5m worth of the US$162m company. This shows at least some alignment, but we usually like to see larger insider holdings. You can click here to see if those insiders have been buying or selling. The general public -- including retail investors -- own 54% of Spero Therapeutics. This size of ownership gives investors from the general public some collective power. They can and probably do influence decisions on executive compensation, dividend policies and proposed business acquisitions. Private equity firms hold a 16% stake in Spero Therapeutics. This suggests they can be influential in key policy decisions. Some might like this, because private equity are sometimes activists who hold management accountable. But other times, private equity is selling out, having taking the company public. It's always worth thinking about the different groups who own shares in a company.
