First Quarter Financial Results
-
Consolidated: Consolidated total revenues for the first quarter of 2025 were $149.9 million compared with $173.7 million for the comparable period of 2024. Operating loss for the first quarter of 2025 was $67.2 million compared with $71.5 million for the 2024 quarter. The first quarter of 2025 included a realized gain of $3.9 million from the sale of shares of GeneDx Holdings Corp. (GeneDx) compared with $22.7 million in the year-ago period primarily reflecting an unrealized gain in the fair value of GeneDx. In addition, other expense in the first quarter of 2024 included a non-cash, non-recurring expense of $26.3 million related to an embedded derivative as part of the 2029 convertible debt. Net loss for the first quarter of 2025 was $67.6 million, or $0.10 per share, compared with net loss of $81.8 million, or $0.12 per share, for the 2024 quarter.

Pharmaceuticals: Revenue from products in the first quarter of 2025 was $34.8 million compared with $38.1 million in the first quarter of 2024, reflecting unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates and a decrease in Rayaldee sales. Revenue from sales of Rayaldee was $6.3 million compared with $6.9 million in the same period in 2024. Revenue from the transfer of intellectual property and other was $12.3 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared with $8.7 million in the 2024 period. This increase was driven by revenue from the BARDA contract of $7.0 million in 2025 compared with $2.2 million in 2024. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in gross profit share payments for NGENLA, which totaled $4.5 million in the 2025 period compared with $5.6 million in the 2024 period. Total costs and expenses increased to $81.9 million in the first quarter of 2025 from $74.5 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to higher research and development expenses related to increased activity within the ModeX development programs. Operating loss was $34.8 million in the first quarter of 2025, which included $17.8 million of depreciation and amortization expense, compared with $27.7 million in the first quarter of 2024, which included $18.0 million of depreciation and amortization expense.

Diagnostics: Revenue from services in the first quarter of 2025 was $102.8 million compared with $126.9 million in the prior-year period, with the decrease primarily due to lower clinical test volume principally as a result of the sale of certain BioReference assets, partially offset by higher clinical test reimbursement rates. Total costs and expenses were $126.8 million in the first quarter of 2025, which included $7.3 million of non-recurring facility closure and severance costs, compared with $161.3 million in the first quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to the assets sold and continued cost-reduction initiatives at BioReference. Operating loss was $23.9 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared with a loss of $34.4 million in the 2024 period. The first quarter of 2025 included revenue of $25.1 million and costs and expenses of $32.4 million from the oncology assets pending sale to Labcorp. Both periods include $5.7 million and $7.9 million of depreciation and amortization expense, respectively, within the operating loss.

Cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and restricted cash: Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $449.7 million as of March 31, 2025, including the receipt of $51.7 million from the sale of all of OPKO’s remaining GeneDx shares. Subsequent to the first quarter of 2025, OPKO completed an exchange agreement with certain institutional holders to purchase $159.2 million of the Company’s outstanding convertible notes, including accrued and unpaid interest, for 121.4 million shares and approximately $63.5 million in cash.
