Atai Life Sciences Reports $149M Net Loss, Expands Clinical Trials

ATAI Life Sciences reported a net loss of $149.3 million for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, a significant increase from the previous year's loss of $40.2 million, primarily due to research and development expenses. The company is focused on advancing its clinical pipeline, which includes VLS-01 for treatment-resistant depression and EMP-01 for social anxiety disorder, with topline data expected in Q1 2026. Recent achievements include dosing the first patient in the Phase 2 Elumina trial of VLS-01 and initiating a Phase 2 study of EMP-01. Additionally, ATAI completed a $59.2 million equity offering, extending its operational runway into 2027. The company anticipates key milestones in 2025, including data from Beckley Psytech's BPL-003 clinical trial. Despite the financial losses, ATAI remains committed to innovation in mental health treatments.
