Agenus Inc. reported its third‑quarter 2025 financial results, posting revenue of $30.2 million, a net income of $63.9 million, and an operating loss of $4.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The net income figure is largely driven by a one‑time gain of $100.9 million from the deconsolidation of MiNK Therapeutics, which reduced Agenus’ ownership below 50% and eliminated the subsidiary from its consolidated statements.
The operating loss of $4.5 million represents a modest decline from the $5.2 million loss reported in Q3 2024, indicating that the company’s core operating expenses have remained relatively stable while revenue has increased. Revenue rose 20.3 % from $25.1 million in Q3 2024, driven by incremental sales of the lead immuno‑oncology combination botensilimab plus balstilimab (BOT/BAL) and modest growth in other product lines. However, revenue still fell short of analyst consensus of $80.4 million, reflecting the company’s limited commercial footprint and the fact that BOT/BAL has not yet entered the U.S. market.
Agenus’ management highlighted the clinical milestones that underpin its long‑term strategy. BOT/BAL entered a compassionate access program in France on September 9, 2025, providing early treatment for patients with MSS colorectal cancer. The company also presented new survival data at the ESMO and ESMO‑GI conferences, and the global Phase 3 BATTMAN trial was initiated in collaboration with the Canadian Cancer Trials Group. CEO Garo Armen emphasized that the French program “is a breakthrough for patients and their physicians” and that the company is committed to supporting French centers and collecting real‑world data.
Despite the positive net income, the company’s liquidity remains a concern. The current ratio stands at 0.06 and the Altman Z‑Score is –19.21, indicating a high risk of bankruptcy. Management acknowledged these headwinds and reiterated its focus on cost discipline and strategic investments in high‑return areas. The company did not provide new guidance for Q4 2025, but analysts had previously projected revenue of approximately $50.3 million for the quarter.
Market reaction to the earnings was cautiously optimistic. Investors appeared to weigh the financial de‑risking from the MiNK deconsolidation against the revenue miss, and they focused on the clinical progress of BOT/BAL and the initiation of the BATTMAN trial as key drivers of future growth. The company’s ability to convert a one‑time gain into a net profit, coupled with the early access program in France, helped mitigate concerns about its liquidity profile.
