Lexicon’s development-stage model is shifting toward revenue, while expense compression—not capex—drives the change in cash economics.
Operating loss narrowed to$48.9M in FY2025 while revenue reached$49.8M , showing commercial growth now sits alongside a much smaller cost base. SG&A fell to$37.3M while R&D remained$61.1M , so the improvement reflects a broad expense reset with development spending still larger than reported revenue—not simply scale flowing through the income statement.
With capex at
The reported liquidity comparison was 17 months, while the current ratio remained 4.9x, indicating substantial short-term coverage relative to current liabilities at year-end. Debt-to-equity also declined to 0.5x from 0.7x in FY2024, so leverage eased even while internal cash generation remained negative.
