We have incurred significant operating and net losses since inception. We incurred net losses of $107.4 million and $147.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2025 was $1,230.2 million, and we expect to incur significant expenses and continuing operating losses. We expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities, as we continue the commercialization of our on-market products and the development and clinical trials of, and seek regulatory approval for, our current product candidates and any other product candidates that we develop or in-license and advance to clinical development. Further, we have incurred and will continue to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company. Accordingly, we may need additional financing to support our continuing operations. We may seek to fund our operations through public or private equity, debt financings, or other sources. Adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to pursue our business strategy. We will need to generate significant revenue to achieve profitability, and we may never do so.

Research and development expenses decreased by $0.4 million and increased by $7.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2024. The decrease in the three months ended comparable period was due to the completion of trials for solriamfetol in ADHD and MDD along with AXS-05 in Alzheimer’s Disease Agitation, which was partially offset by higher personnel costs. The increase in the six months ended comparable period was due to higher costs for AXS-07 and AXS-14. This was partially offset by lower spending due to completion of trials for MDD and ADHD for solriamfetol and for AXS-12. We expect research and development costs to stabilize at current levels through the end of 2025 as certain development programs near completion while new development programs are initiated.
Current wording
Research and development expenses decreased by $5.2 million and increased by $2.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2024.

The increase in the nine months ended comparable period was due to the ongoing supplier validation costs for AXS-07, partially offset by lower spending due to completion of trials for MDD and ADHD for solriamfetol. We expect research and development costs to moderately increase through the end of 2025 and into 2026 as new development programs commence while certain development programs near completion.

The increases in both comparable periods were related to higher commercial activities for Auvelity and Symbravo, and higher personnel costs related to organizational growth, including non-cash stock-based compensation. We expect selling, general and administrative expenses to increase through the end of 2025 as we expand marketing, promotional, and advertising costs for Auvelity and Symbravo.

The increases in both comparable periods were related to higher commercial activities for Auvelity, including a sales force expansion and a national direct-to-consumer advertising campaign, commercial launch of Symbravo, and higher personnel costs related to organizational growth, including non-cash stock-based compensation.

We believe that we maintain good relations with our employees. Our employees are highly skilled, and many hold advanced degrees. Many of our employees have experience with drug commercialization or development. Our future performance depends significantly upon the continued service of our key scientific, technical and senior management personnel and our continued ability to attract and retain highly skilled employees. We provide our employees with competitive salaries and bonuses, opportunities for equity ownership, development programs that enable continued learning and growth and a robust employment package that promotes well-being across all aspects of their lives. In addition to salaries, these programs include potential annual discretionary bonuses, stock awards, healthcare and insurance benefits, health savings and flexible spending accounts, paid time off, family leave, and flexible work schedules, among other benefits. We may take further actions, in compliance with all appropriate government regulations, that we determine to be in the best interest of our employees.
