Humacyte (NASDAQ:HUMA) issued its quarterly earnings data on Tuesday. The company reported ($0.06) earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, topping the consensus estimate of ($0.10) by $0.04, FiscalAI reports. Humacyte had a negative return on equity of 983.32% and a negative net margin of 4,556.29%. The business had revenue of $1.03 million during the quarter, compared to the consensus estimate of $0.77 million.

Here are the key takeaways from Humacyte’s conference call:

• Symvess sales and hospital adoption accelerated: Third-quarter sales rose 151% sequentially to just over $1 million, with 49 hospitals ordering by quarter-end, up from 34. October sales reached $800,000, and management expects fourth-quarter sales to at least double Q3.
• Humacyte plans to submit its dialysis-access sBLA later this month, supported by three Phase III studies. The FDA’s review designation is not yet known: management outlined a potential launch around June 2027 with priority review, or after September without it.
• The company initiated its first-in-human Phase IIa study of its coronary tissue-engineered vessel for bypass surgery and is screening patients; it has also completed the first commercial-scale manufacturing lot for the product.
• Humacyte reported a Q3 net loss of $15.5 million and $15.0 million in operating cash use, although cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash totaled $64.9 million at quarter-end. Cost of goods sold was $1.4 million against $1 million in sales, largely reflecting underused production capacity, which management expects to continue affecting Q4.
