Insights

Financial Analyst

Scinai posted first revenues but cash declined 61%; reported profit was due to one-time accounting gain, not operational improvements.

Scinai's 2024 financials reveal a company in transition, generating its first revenue of $658,000 through its CDMO services division. While this revenue stream marks a positive milestone, it remains minimal compared to total expenses.

The company maintained R&D investment at $5.6 million (up slightly from $5.2 million), demonstrating continued commitment to its inflammation and immunology pipeline. Significantly, Scinai reduced marketing, general and administrative expenses by 42% to $2.6 million from $4.5 million, indicating aggressive cost-cutting in non-research areas.

While Scinai reported a $4.8 million net gain (versus a $6.5 million loss in 2023), this figure requires careful interpretation. The profit stems primarily from a $14.8 million financial income from loan conversion to equity—essentially an accounting gain rather than an improvement in core operations. Without this one-time event, Scinai would still show an operational loss.

The most concerning metric is the cash position, which declined 61% from $4.9 million to $1.9 million. At current expense levels, this limited cash reserve suggests a runway of less than a year, raising questions about future financing needs. The gap between the modest revenue and substantial expenses indicates additional capital raises may be necessary in the near term to sustain operations.

JERUSALEM, May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Scinai Immunotherapeutics Ltd. (NASDAQ: SCNI) ("Scinai", or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel and innovative biological drug candidates for the treatment of inflammation and immunology (I&I) related diseases and on providing CDMO services through its Scinai Bioservices business unit, today announced its annual financial results for the full year 2024.

Full year 2024 Financial Summary

• Revenues for 2024, amounted to $658 thousands, compared to no revenues for 2023. The increase was due to the CDMO starting to generate revenues for the first time in 2024.
• R&D expenses for 2024, amounted to $5.6 million compared to $5.2 million for 2023. The change was not material and primarily reflects minor fluctuations in R&D activities during the period.
• Marketing, general and administrative expenses for 2024, amounted to $2.6 million compared to $4.5 million for 2023. The decrease was primarily due to decrease in wages, share based compensation and professional services.
• Financial income, net  in 2024, amounted to $13.5 million compared to $3.2 million for 2023. The increase was primarily due to financial income from loan conversion to equity.
