Fate Therapeutics reported third‑quarter 2025 results that included $1.741 million in revenue, a net loss of $32.25 million, and a basic and diluted loss per share of $0.27. The company’s cash, cash equivalents, and investments totaled $226 million as of September 30, 2025, giving it an operating runway that extends through the end of 2027.
Revenue for the quarter fell 44% from $3.1 million in Q3 2024, largely because the company recognized less collaboration revenue from its partnership with Ono Pharmaceutical. The decline reflects a softer timing of milestone payments and lower revenue recognition under the collaboration agreement, rather than a loss of demand for the company’s products. In contrast, operating expenses dropped 34% to $36.5 million, driven by disciplined cost‑control measures that reduced research and development spending to $25.8 million and general‑administrative costs to $10.6 million.
The net loss narrowed from $47.68 million in Q3 2024 to $32.25 million in Q3 2025, a reduction of $15.43 million. The improvement is attributable to the combined effect of lower operating expenses and a more favorable revenue mix, which limited the impact of the revenue decline. The company’s loss per share of $0.27 beat analyst expectations of a $0.28 loss, a $0.01 improvement that underscores the effectiveness of its cost‑management program.
Cash reserves of $226 million provide a robust financial cushion that supports the company’s long‑term clinical development plans. The projected runway to the end of 2027 means that Fate Therapeutics can continue to fund its iPSC‑derived cellular immunotherapy pipeline without the need for additional capital raises in the near term.
Clinically, the company marked two significant milestones: the first patient was treated in the Phase 1 FT819 study using a fludarabine‑free conditioning regimen for systemic sclerosis, and the first patient received FT836, a MICA/B‑targeted off‑the‑shelf CAR‑T cell, in a conditioning‑free setting for solid tumors. Regulatory authorities in the UK and EU have authorized the activation of ex‑US clinical trial sites for FT819, expanding the company’s global reach.
Management emphasized that the company remains focused on accelerating patient enrollment, strengthening its iPSC platform, and maintaining operational discipline. The combination of a solid cash position, a narrowing loss, and early clinical progress positions Fate Therapeutics to advance its pipeline while preserving financial flexibility.
