Compass Pathways plc (Nasdaq: CMPS), a biotechnology company dedicated to accelerating patient access to evidence-based innovation in mental health, today reported its financial results for the third quarter 2025 and provided an update on recent progress across its business.

“With the completion of COMP006 enrollment and our recent positive discussions with the FDA, we are excited about pulling forward our expected launch timing for COMP360 in TRD by 9-12 months,” said Kabir Nath, Chief Executive Officer at Compass Pathways. “We are accelerating commercial launch plans to match this new expected timeline with the goal of advancing our mission of transforming the mental health landscape and how patients living with depression are treated.”

Business Highlights

COMP360 psilocybin treatment in TRD (Treatment Resistant Depression)

• Second Phase 3 trial, COMP006, has completed enrollment (n=585)
• In June 2025, we announced achievement of the 6-week primary endpoint in the first of two phase 3 studies (COMP005), where a single administration of COMP360 demonstrated a highly statistically significant and clinically meaningful reduction in symptom severity at six weeks and no unexpected safety findings
• Positive Type B meeting with the FDA in September 2025 to discuss the Company’s NDA submission strategy for COMP360 in TRD and potential acceleration scenarios, including rolling submission
• Second phase 3 trial (COMP006) 9-week (Part A) data and COMP005 26-week (Part B) data are expected in Q1 2026
• 26-week (Part B) data from COMP006 is expected in early Q3 2026

COMP360 psilocybin treatment in PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)

• Late-stage clinical trial design being finalized taking FDA comments into consideration
• Phase 2 open label 12-week safety and tolerability study (n=22) in PTSD announced in May 2024, showed COMP360 was generally well tolerated and demonstrated both rapid and durable improvement in symptoms from baseline observed following a single administration
• Phase 2 PTSD findings published in the September 2025 issue of Journal of Psychopharmacology

Board of Directors Update

• Dr. Jeffrey Jonas, who brings three decades of leadership experience in psychiatry and biotech, appointed to the Compass Pathways Board of Directors

Financial Highlights

• Research and development expenses were $27.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared with $32.9 million during the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in development expenses related to the termination of our discovery programs associated with the reorganization that took place in the fourth quarter of 2024 and a decrease in non-cash share-based compensation expenses due to decreased staffing levels associated with the reorganization that took place in the fourth quarter of 2024.
• Research and development expenses were $88.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared with $86.9 million during the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to development expenses associated with advancing our late-stage COMP360 phase 3 clinical trials partially offset by decreased personnel and non-cash share-based compensation expenses due to decreased staffing levels associated with the reorganization that took place in the fourth quarter of 2024.
• General and administrative expenses were $13.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared with $15.0 million during the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in personnel and non-cash share-based compensation expenses due to decreased staffing levels associated with the reorganization that took place in the fourth quarter of 2024 as well as decreased facilities and other expenses as a result of lower insurance premiums and banking fees.
• General and administrative expenses were $44.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared with $42.9 million during the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in legal and professional fees primarily due to issuance costs related to our January 2025 Financing as well as expenses associated with consulting, accounting and legal advice, partially offset by decreased facilities and other expenses as a result of lower insurance premiums and banking fees as well as decreased personnel expenses due to decreased staffing levels associated with the reorganization that took place in the fourth quarter of 2024.
• Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $137.7 million, or $1.44 net loss per share: basic and diluted, compared with $38.5 million, or $0.56 loss per share basic and diluted, during the same period in 2024. The increase in net loss for the quarter was primarily driven by a $101.3 million non-cash loss on fair value adjustment related to our warrant liabilities, compared with $0.0 million during the same period in 2024. As the fair value of the warrants fluctuates with our share price and other market inputs, this adjustment can result in significant variability in our reported net loss. Net loss also includes non-cash shared-based compensation of $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30,2025 compared with $5.0 million for the same period in 2024.
• Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $194.0 million, or $2.09 net loss per share: basic and diluted, compared with $111.8 million, or $1.67 loss per share basic and diluted, during the same period in 2024. The increase in net loss for the period was primarily driven by a $84.4 million non-cash gain on fair value adjustment related to our warrant liabilities, compared with $0.0 million during the same period in 2024. As the fair value of the warrants fluctuates with our share price and other market inputs, this adjustment can result in significant variability in our reported net loss. Net loss also includes non-cash share-based compensation of $10.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared with $15.0 million for the same period in 2024.
• Cash and cash equivalents were $185.9 million as of September 30, 2025, compared with $165.1 million as of December 31, 2024.
• Debt was $31.3 million as of September 30, 2025, compared with $30.2 million as of December 31, 2024.

Financial Guidance

Full year 2025 net cash used in operating activities is expected to be in the range of $120 million to $145 million. This range includes the amount receivable in respect of the R&D tax credit in the UK, the timing for which is uncertain. The cash position at September 30, 2025 is expected to be sufficient to fund operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into 2027.
