ESSA Pharma Reports Financial Results for Fiscal Second Quarter Ended March 31, 2025
Company continues to explore and review strategic options focused on maximizing shareholder value
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, California and VANCOUVER, Canada, May 8, 2025 - ESSA Pharma Inc. (“ESSA,” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: EPIX), a pharmaceutical company that, prior to the discontinuation of its clinical trials and development programs, had been focused on developing novel therapies for the treatment of prostate cancer, today reported financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended March 31, 2025.
“We continue to rigorously evaluate strategic options with a focus on maximizing shareholder value,” said David Parkinson, MD, President and CEO of ESSA. “We have taken productive steps towards a decision and hope to share an update in the near future.”
Second Quarter 2025 and Recent Updates
| • | ESSA continues to evaluate a range of strategic options focused on maximizing shareholder value. These options may include, but are not limited to, a merger, amalgamation, take-over, business combination, asset sale or acquisition, shareholder distribution, wind-up, liquidation and dissolution, or other strategic direction. The process is expected to involve continuing headcount and other cost reductions. |
Summary of Financial Results
(Amounts expressed in U.S. dollars)
| • | Net Loss. ESSA recorded a net loss of $6.4 million for the second quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to $9.0 million for the second quarter ended March 31, 2024. Investment and other income was $1.0 million for the second quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to $1.5 million for the second quarter ended March 31, 2024. |
| • | Research and Development (“R&D”) expenditures. R&D expenditures for the second quarter ended March 31, 2025 were $3.5 million compared to $6.2 million for the second quarter ended March 31, 2024, and include non-cash costs related to share-based payments of $551,433 for the second quarter ended 2025 compared to $455,903 for the second quarter ended 2024. The increase in the second quarter was primarily attributed to the wind-down of clinical trials and cessation of preclinical work. |
