Insights
RedHill Biopharma's 2024 financial results demonstrate significant operational restructuring with mixed financial outcomes. Net revenues increased 123% to $8.0 million compared to $6.5 million in 2023, with Talicia generating $9.0 million including $1.0 million from UAE partnership revenues. The company has successfully reduced its cash burn by 74% year-over-year, with net cash used in operations dropping to $9.4 million from $35.8 million in 2023.
Despite these improvements, RedHill still posted a net loss of $8.3 million, comparing unfavorably to net income of $23.9 million in 2023, though the prior year benefited from $64.7 million in one-time gains from the Movantik divestiture. The balance sheet shows total assets of $18.0 million against total liabilities of $22.7 million, indicating a negative equity position. The cash balance of just $4.8 million raises liquidity concerns, though financing activities generated $8.4 million during the year.
The licensing deal with Hyloris Pharmaceuticals for RHB-102 offers potential milestone payments up to $60 million while maintaining North American rights. The company's litigation victory against Kukbo yielded approximately $8 million plus legal costs. Operating expenses decreased substantially year-over-year, with R&D expenses dropping from $3.5 million to $1.6 million and SG&A expenses falling from $31.0 million to $15.5 million, reflecting the company's aggressive cost-cutting measures.
The financial restructuring has yielded clear improvements in operating efficiency, but the negative equity position and cash reserve present ongoing challenges that need to be addressed for long-term stability.
RedHill has strategically repositioned its pipeline with a focus on externally funded development programs. Talicia remains the core commercial asset, recognized in the updated ACG Clinical Guidelines as a first-line therapeutic option for H. pylori eradication and now securing 25 million covered lives after Medi-Cal renewal and Humana formulary inclusion. The UAE commercial launch and planned UK MAA filing suggest a deliberate geographic expansion strategy.
The company's pipeline development has shifted toward a capital-efficient model with significant external funding. The Bayer-supported Phase 2 study of opaganib in combination with darolutamide in metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer represents an innovative approach in a $12 billion market. The companion lipid biomarker test (PCPro) for patient selection demonstrates a precision medicine approach that could improve clinical outcomes.
Multiple U.S. government partnerships, including Army, BARDA, and NIH funding for opaganib development in Ebola, GI-ARS, and chemical countermeasures, provide non-dilutive capital and potential accelerated approval pathways. The advancement of RHB-204 into Phase 2 for MAP-positive Crohn's disease patients, supported by RHB-104's positive Phase 3 data showing 64% improvement in efficacy, targets a novel approach in inflammatory bowel disease.
The company's transition to a leaner operation with externally funded programs reduces financial risk while maintaining upside potential through milestone payments and royalties. However, successful execution will depend on clinical trial outcomes and regulatory approvals, which remain uncertain despite the promising pipeline developments.

Dror Ben-Asher, RedHill's Chief Executive Officer, said: "We have undergone an extensive overhaul reshaping ourselves financially, operationally and strategically.

A new approach in the
Prostate cancer (PC) is the second most diagnosed cancer in the world, with around 1.5 million new cases per year, causing almost 400,000 deaths5. People with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) have few treatment options available to them.
In February 2025, the Company announced the initiation of a Bayer-supported Phase 2 study of opaganib in combination with Bayer's darolutamide in mCRPC, evaluating the potentially enhancing effect of opaganib in patients with poor prognosis.
The study will utilize a companion lipid biomarker test (PCPro) to select mCRPC patients who have a poor prognosis due to standard of care (SoC) treatment and who may benefit from an opaganib + darolutamide combination treatment approach. The primary endpoint will be improved 12-month radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS).
Other opaganib programs/updates include:
U.S. Army and BARDA-grant funded program for Ebola. Opaganib is believed to be the first host-directed molecule to show activity in vivo in Ebola virus disease, delivering a statistically significant increase in survival and, separately, demonstrating a robust synergistic effect in vitro when combined with remdesivir (Veklury®; Gilead Sciences, Inc.), improving viral inhibition while maintaining cell viabilityU.S. Government- and non-government funded programs ongoing with the NIH / BARDA-funded nuclear and chemical medical countermeasure programs for GI-ARS and Phosgene inhalation injury. On December 10, 2024, the Company announced positive results from new in vivo studies of opaganib as a treatment for GI-ARS, undertaken as part of theU.S. Government's Radiation and Nuclear Countermeasures Program (RNCP) product pipeline development contract. These results further confirm opaganib's protective activity in models of GI-ARS and discussions are ongoing regarding advanced development.- Positive in vivo study results support potential of opaganib therapy in diabetes / obesity-related disorders - a market projected to be worth approximately
within the next decade. 'Opaganib Promotes Weight Loss and Suppresses High-Fat Diet-Induced Obesity and Glucose Intolerance' was recently published6 in the journal Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity$100 billion - Orphan drug designation granted by FDA for neuroblastoma (opaganib has several such designations in multiple indications, with three in oncology)

RHB-204:
RHB-204 is a proprietary, fixed-dose oral capsule containing a combination of clarithromycin, rifabutin and clofazimine, at specific doses designed to safely and effectively treat Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis-positive (MAP-positive)-related Crohn's disease (CD). Unlike existing therapies that focus on symptom relief, RHB-204 is intended to target the possible root cause of Crohn's disease, which is hypothesized to be caused by Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP).
Patent protected until at least 2041, RHB-204 is a next-generation formulation of RHB-104, which successfully completed a Phase 3 study in Crohn's disease, with an optimized formulation for the treatment of CD. It contains the same three antimicrobial agents with potent intracellular, anti-mycobacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, and with an optimized dosing profile, RHB-204 provides the potential for enhanced tolerability, safety and compliance with a
Paradigm shift in MAP-positive CD treatment approach
In March 2025, the Company announced its plans to advance its potentially groundbreaking late-stage RHB-204 Crohn's disease program, building on statistically significant positive RHB-104 Phase 3 results. FDA guidance on pathway to approval is anticipated in the coming weeks. RedHill is actively pursuing funding opportunities and partnerships to advance this potential paradigm-shifting treatment.
The planned innovative Phase 2 study of RHB-204 is planned to be the first ever clinical study in CD patients who are all MAP-positive and will evaluate mucosal healing, a new gold standard in assessing efficacy in Crohn's disease, and MAP eradication utilizing novel and decisive endpoints and imaging, allowing for a study design with a relatively small sample size.
RHB-204 builds upon RHB-104's successful Phase 3 study, which successfully met its Phase 3 study primary and secondary endpoints demonstrating a statistically significant
