Northwest Bio (NWBO) reported $1.4M in revenue for fiscal year 2025, down 0.3% from the prior fiscal year. This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios. View 15 years of annual fundamentals and quarterly data, with year-over-year growth rates and compound annual growth rates (CAGR). All figures are derived from SEC filings (10-K and 10-Q reports).
NWBO’s core mechanic is a capital-funded development model, where external financing rather than sales supports research and corporate overhead.
In FY2025, financing inflows of$49.3M nearly matched operating cash burn of$44.8M . With cash at only$3.0M , negative equity still present, and the share count still climbing, new capital appears to be replacing consumed cash rather than creating a liquidity cushion.

Financial Health Signals
Northwest Bio does not currently provide enough eligible data for a peer-relative financial health score, so none is published. The signals and metrics below are current.
Northwest Bio scores -28.20, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($296.6M) relative to total liabilities ($128.9M). This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.
Distress-screening estimate for non-financial companies. Not computed for banks or insurers, where the Altman model does not apply.
Northwest Bio passes 4 of 8 computable financial strength tests (1 of the nine could not be computed from available data). 2 of 4 profitability signals pass, 2 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, neither operating efficiency signal passes.
Northwest Bio reported a net loss of $60.2M while operations used $44.8M of cash. With neither figure positive, the ratio between the two carries no quality signal.
Northwest Bio reported an operating loss of $59.9M against $8.7M in interest expense. There is no operating profit to cover interest, so interest must be met from cash reserves or from financing rather than from operations.
