Second quarter 2026
Filed Aug 13, 2026Celcuity reported a second-quarter net loss of $78.9 million while advancing toward a late-third-quarter 2026 REVTORPYK launch following FDA approval.
FDA approval, launch readiness, positive VIKTORIA-1 PIK3CA mutant-cohort data and a strengthened cash position were offset by a wider net loss, materially higher SG&A spending and increased operating cash use.

Third quarter of 2026 and other future periods outlook
- NoteShipments of REVTORPYK are expected to begin late in the third quarter of 2026.
- NoteCelcuity intends to submit these data to the FDA in the third quarter as an sNDA.
- NoteCelcuity expects to provide further updates to results from both the PIK3CA MT and WT cohorts of VIKTORIA-1 at medical conferences in the fourth quarter.
- NoteThe company expects to provide updated clinical data and additional visibility into its mCRPC development strategy during the fourth quarter of 2026.
- NoteWe expect that our current cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments will finance our operations at least into 2029.
Capital returns
- Completed issuance of $575.0 million convertible note offering, with net proceeds of $557.2 million.
- The Company utilized $137.0 million of the net proceeds to prepay term loan debt.
What drove it
- REVTORPYK was approved by the U.S. FDA on July 14, 2026 for HR+/HER2- PIK3CA wild-type locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer following progression on or after endocrine therapy.
- REVTORPYK in combination with fulvestrant, with or without palbociclib, was recommended in NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines as a preferred Category 1 second-line and/or subsequent-line therapy.
- In the VIKTORIA-1 PIK3CA mutant cohort, the gedatolisib-triplet reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 50% vs. alpelisib plus fulvestrant, while the gedatolisib-doublet reduced the risk by 49%.
- SG&A increased primarily because of commercial hiring and pre-commercial launch activities for REVTORPYK.
- R&D expense declined primarily because of lower VIKTORIA-1 clinical trial costs and lower license milestone costs.
Concerns
- Net loss increased to $78.9 million from $45.3 million in the prior-year period.
- Net cash used in operating activities increased to $55.4 million from $36.2 million in the prior-year period.
- SG&A expenses increased to $35.0 million from $7.6 million, including commercial headcount additions and other launch-related activities.
- The second-quarter loss included $11.5 million of loss on debt extinguishment associated with repayment of the note payable.
- The company identified risks related to sNDA timing and review, maintaining regulatory approvals, market acceptance of REVTORPYK, competitive therapies and access to capital.
What to watch
- The start of REVTORPYK shipments expected late in the third quarter of 2026.
- The planned third-quarter 2026 sNDA submission for the VIKTORIA-1 PIK3CA mutant cohort.
- Further VIKTORIA-1 PIK3CA mutant-type and wild-type cohort updates expected at medical conferences in the fourth quarter.
- Updated clinical data and additional visibility into the mCRPC development strategy expected during the fourth quarter of 2026.
- Progress in the expanded VIKTORIA-2 trial, including Study 2 in treatment-naïve endocrine-sensitive HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer.

Analysis
Celcuity's second quarter was defined by regulatory and clinical progress rather than reported commercial performance. REVTORPYK received FDA approval on July 14, 2026, commercialization infrastructure was described as complete, and shipments are expected to begin late in the third quarter of 2026. The filing did not report revenue, so the financial results remain centered on pre-launch spending, development activity and funding capacity.
The VIKTORIA-1 PIK3CA mutant cohort provides the principal clinical catalyst in the release. The gedatolisib-triplet reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 50% versus alpelisib plus fulvestrant, with median progression-free survival of 11.1 months versus 5.6 months. The gedatolisib-doublet reduced the risk by 49%, with median progression-free survival of 11.3 months versus 5.6 months. Management plans an sNDA submission in the third quarter of 2026 and expects further VIKTORIA-1 updates in the fourth quarter.
Operating costs reflect the transition from development to commercial launch. Total operating expenses were $66.1 million versus $44.0 million, as SG&A rose to $35.0 million from $7.6 million. The company attributed $23.4 million of the SG&A increase to commercial headcount additions and other launch-related activities. R&D declined to $31.1 million from $36.4 million, driven by lower VIKTORIA-1 trial costs and license milestone costs, partially offset by higher employee-related, consulting, manufacturing and other costs.
Losses and cash use increased. GAAP net loss was $78.9 million, or $1.44 per share, compared with $45.3 million, or $1.04 per share. Non-GAAP adjusted net loss was $58.7 million, or $1.07 per share, compared with $40.5 million, or $0.93 per share. The GAAP result included $11.5 million of loss on debt extinguishment. Net cash used in operating activities was $55.4 million compared with $36.2 million, highlighting the cash demands of launch preparation and continued clinical development.
Financing materially expanded liquidity. The company completed a $575.0 million convertible note offering with $557.2 million of net proceeds and used $137.0 million to prepay term loan debt. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $754.0 million at quarter end, and management stated that current liquidity is expected to finance operations at least into 2029. The main near-term execution points are late-third-quarter product shipments, the PIK3CA mutant-cohort sNDA submission and fourth-quarter clinical and mCRPC strategy updates.
Management, verbatim
We are on track to begin shipping REVTORPYK late in the third quarter of 2026, and we look forward to making this important therapy available to patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
