(NASDAQ: MRNA) today reported financial results and provided business updates for the third quarter of 2025. "We delivered strong commercial and financial performance in the third quarter, supported by COVID vaccine sales following the successful launch of mNEXSPIKE and a significant improvement in expected 2025 operating expenses from our ongoing cost-reduction initiatives," said Stéphane Bancel, Chief Executive Officer of Moderna. "We remain highly focused on operational excellence and financial discipline to advance our pipeline and expand the reach of our commercial portfolio. We look forward to sharing further updates on our business and pipeline at our annual Analyst Day on November 20." Recent progress includes: Commercial Updates COVID-19: The Company reported $971 million in COVID vaccine sales in the third quarter of 2025, which includes $781 million of U.S. sales and $190 million of international sales. The Company has received approval in 40 countries of its 2025-2026 formula for Spikevax®. Moderna has also received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of its 2025-2026 formula for mNEXSPIKE®, the Company's new COVID vaccine in all adults aged 65 and older, as well as individuals aged 12-64 years with at least one underlying risk factor. mNEXSPIKE is also approved in Canada and the Company has filed and is targeting 2026 approvals in Australia, the EU, Japan and Taiwan. RSV: The Company reported $2 million in mRESVIA® sales in the third quarter of 2025. mRESVIA, the Company's vaccine for the prevention of lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) caused by RSV, is approved for all adults aged 60 years and older in 40 countries. It is also approved in 31 of those countries for individuals 18-59 years of age who are at increased risk for disease. Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results Revenue: Total revenue for the third quarter of 2025 was $1.0 billion, a 45% decrease from $1.9 billion in the same period in 2024. The decline was primarily driven by a $847 million, or 47%, decrease in net product sales, mainly due to lower COVID vaccine sales. In the U.S., the decrease reflected reduced vaccination rates year over year. The third quarter of 2024 also included an approximately $140 million positive adjustment related to prior-period sales provision estimates, which did not recur in 2025. During the quarter, the Company initiated commercial sales in the U.S. of mNEXSPIKE, as part of the 2025-2026 respiratory virus season.Outside the U.S., revenue decreased primarily due to the completion of certain government contracts and the timing of deliveries. Cost of Sales: Cost of sales for the third quarter of 2025 was $207 million, which included third-party royalties of $43 million and inventory write-downs of $67 million. Cost of sales decreased 60% compared to the same period in 2024, primarily reflecting lower inventory write-downs and reduced unutilized manufacturing capacity, as well as lower sales volume. As a percentage of net product sales, cost of sales was 21% compared to 28% in the third quarter of 2024. The improvement was mainly driven by productivity gains and efficiencies across manufacturing operations despite lower volumes. Research and Development Expenses: Research and development expenses for the third quarter of 2025 were $801 million, a 30% decrease compared to the same period in 2024. The reduction was primarily driven by continued investment prioritization and efficiency gains in the execution of clinical trials. Last year's results also included an expense related to the purchase of a priority review voucher. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2025 were $268 million, a 5% decrease compared to the same period in 2024. The decline was primarily driven by reductions in consulting and external services across multiple functions, as well as lower digital and facility-related costs, reflecting the Company's continued cost discipline and ongoing efforts to streamline operations. Income Taxes: Income tax provisions for both periods were not material, as the Company continues to maintain a global valuation allowance against most of its deferred tax assets. Net Income (Loss): Net loss was $(200) million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to net income of $13 million for the third quarter of 2024. Earnings (Loss) Per Share: Loss per share was $(0.51) for the third quarter of 2025, compared to earnings per share of $0.03 for the third quarter of 2024. Cash Position: Cash, cash equivalents and investments as of September 30, 2025, were $6.6 billion, compared to $7.5 billion as of June 30, 2025. The decrease during the quarter was primarily driven by seasonal impacts on working capital. 2025 Financial Framework Revenue: The Company narrowed its 2025 projected revenue range from $1.5 to $2.2 billion to $1.6 to $2.0 billion, reflecting third quarter results and expectations for the remainder of the year. Cost of Sales: Cost of sales for 2025 is expected to be approximately $0.8 to $0.9 billion, lowered from $1.2 billion. Research and Development Expenses: Research and development expenses for 2025 are anticipated to be $3.3 to $3.4 billion, lowered from previous expectations of $3.6 to $3.8 billion. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses for 2025 are projected to be approximately $1.1 billion. Income Taxes: The Company continues to expect its full-year tax expense to be negligible. Capital Expenditures: Capital expenditures for 2025 are expected to be approximately $0.3 billion. Cash and Investments: Year-end cash and investments for 2025 are projected to be $6.5 to $7 billion, increased from previous expectations of approximately $6 billion.
