Revelation Biosciences, Inc. Announces Financial Results
For the Three and Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2025
SAN DIEGO – February 26, 2026 – Revelation Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: REVB) (the “Company” or “Revelation”), a clinical-stage life sciences company focused on rebalancing inflammation to optimize health, today reported its financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025.
Corporate Highlights
“2025 was a positive year for Revelation with significant advancement of the Gemini program," said James Rolke, Chief Executive Officer of Revelation. "We look forward to building on this momentum in 2026 to expeditiously bring Gemini to patients in need and adding to shareholder value."
Results of Operations
As of December 31, 2025, Revelation had $10.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $6.5 million as of December 31, 2024. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to net cash proceeds from the May 2025 public offering and the September 2025 warrant inducement, offset by cash used for operating activities. Based on current operating plans and projections, Revelation believes its current cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to fund operations into the first quarter of 2027.
Net cash used for operating activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 was $8.3 million compared to net cash used for operating activities of $18.3 million for the same period in 2024. Net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $2.5 million, or $(1.65) basic and diluted net loss per share, compared to a net loss of $1.7 million, or $(59.76) basic and diluted net loss per share for the same period in 2024. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $8.9 million, or $(23.95) basic and diluted net loss per share compared to net loss of $15.0 million, or $(1,052.16) basic and diluted net loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2024.
About Gemini
Gemini is the Company’s proprietary formulation of phosphorylated hexaacyl disaccharide (PHAD®), a toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) agonist. TLR4 stimulation with Gemini rebalances the innate immune response and has been demonstrated to have the potential to treat acute and chronic diseases associated with dysregulated inflammation. Gemini is currently being evaluated as a potential treatment for acute kidney injury (GEM-AKI); Gemini is also being developed as a treatment for chronic kidney disease (GEM-CKD), as a treatment to reduce hyperinflammation and
infection associated with severe burn (GEM-PBI), and as a treatment to prevent post-surgical infection (GEM-PSI). The potential of Gemini to correct dysregulated inflammation has been demonstrated in multiple preclinical models of AKI, CKD, and infection, as well as in two phase 1 clinical studies. See additional detail here.
