Spero Therapeutics, Inc. (SPRO) reported $47.0M in revenue over the twelve months to Jun 30, 2026, down 3.3% from the prior twelve months. This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios. View 11 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).
Spero’s reported profitability is episodic: FY2025 returned to profit, but operating cash flow remained negative and development spending shaped margins.
The profit-to-cash gap persisted in FY2025: net income was$8.6M while operating cash flow was-$12.6M . FY2023 showed the same pattern, with net income of$22.8M alongside operating cash flow of-$33.0M , so reported earnings have not consistently represented cash generation.
Operating margin swung from
FY2025’s debt-to-equity was 0.2x and its current ratio was 7.6x, indicating a lighter liability burden and greater short-term asset coverage than FY2024. The supplied liquidity measure equals 38.3 months of the latest annual reported operating outflow, but the negative cash flow shows liquidity and cash generation remain separate questions.
