Arvinas reported third‑quarter 2025 results that surpassed analyst expectations, with revenue of $41.9 million beating consensus estimates of roughly $24–$30 million and a non‑GAAP loss per share of $0.48 that outperformed the expected loss of $0.75. The revenue gain was driven by stronger-than‑anticipated sales in the company’s core oncology and rare‑disease segments, offsetting a 60% year‑over‑year decline that stemmed from the loss of a large Novartis collaboration that had contributed $100 million in the prior year.
Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities stood at $787.6 million as of September 30, 2025, a decline of $251.8 million from the $1,039.4 million reported at the end of 2024. The company’s operating cash use of $233.1 million, share repurchases of $17.8 million, and capital expenditures of $1.7 million are consistent with the company’s strategy to extend its runway into the second half of 2028, giving it ample liquidity to fund its pipeline and strategic initiatives.
Research and development expenses fell to $64.7 million from $86.9 million a year earlier, largely due to a $7.4 million reduction in external program costs and a $14.2 million drop in compensation and related personnel expenses. General and administrative costs were $21.0 million, down from $75.8 million, reflecting the termination of a laboratory and office lease and lower professional fees. Non‑GAAP R&D and G&A figures of $56.9 million and $14.6 million, respectively, illustrate the company’s ongoing cost‑reduction efforts and improved operational leverage.
The company highlighted significant pipeline progress: Phase 1 data for ARV‑102, a brain‑penetrant LRRK2 degrader, showed robust target engagement and brain penetration; preclinical data for ARV‑806, a KRAS G12D degrader, demonstrated potent anti‑tumor activity; and first preclinical data for ARV‑027, a polyQ‑AR degrader targeting spinal bulbar muscular atrophy, were presented. These developments reinforce Arvinas’ position as a leader in targeted protein degradation technology.
Arvinas and Pfizer announced that they would jointly select a third party to commercialize and potentially further develop vepdegestrant, a fast‑track‑designated estrogen receptor degrader with a PDUFA date of June 5, 2026. The partnership shift reflects a strategic focus on maximizing the drug’s commercial potential while conserving internal resources.
CEO John Houston emphasized that the quarter’s results “demonstrate disciplined cost management and meaningful pipeline momentum.” He added that the company’s extended cash runway and strategic collaborations position it to pursue high‑impact assets while maintaining financial flexibility.
Investors reacted cautiously to the earnings, balancing the earnings beat against the company’s continued lack of profitability and the inherent uncertainties of clinical‑stage development. The measured market response underscores the importance of sustained pipeline progress and disciplined cost control for long‑term value creation.
