Mixed Impact 3 of 5 earnings Written later

Atea Pharmaceuticals reported a fourth-quarter 2025 net loss of $44.9 million, or $0.57 per share, up from $33.5 million, or $0.40 per share, a year earlier. For the full year, the net loss narrowed to $158.3 million, or $1.94 per share, from $168.4 million, or $2.00 per share. Cash and investments fell to $301.8 million at December 31, 2025, from $454.7 million, and the filing gives no revenue figure.

Key points

  • Q4 2025 research and development expenses rose to $47.8 million from $25.7 million, partly due to HCV Phase 3 spending and a milestone under the Merck License Agreement.
  • Full-year 2025 general and administrative expenses fell to $32.9 million from $48.8 million, mainly on lower stock-based compensation.
  • Income tax benefits of $6.8 million in Q4 and $6.2 million for the full year were primarily from recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits.
  • C-BEYOND topline results are expected mid-2026 and C-FORWARD topline results around year-end 2026.
