Together, these clinical and corporate milestones, along with the completion of a $20 million registered direct offering, position Rani to make further progress in the development of the RaniPill as an oral delivery for biologic candidates.” Rani also announced today that the first participants have been dosed in the Phase 1a study expansion cohort of RT-114, an orally administered RaniPill Capsule™ delivering PG-102, a GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist being developed by ProGen Co., Ltd. The study was expanded to enroll fifteen additional healthy volunteers to provide a comprehensive pharmacokinetic dataset for the RaniPill® HC as Rani moves toward initiating a Phase 1b repeat-dose study in patients with obesity by the end of 2026, with data anticipated in 2027. Recent Highlights: Announced positive initial Phase 1a data for RT-114. In July 2026, Rani reported positive initial data from the ongoing Phase 1a study of RT-114 in healthy participants. The study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, bioavailability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of RT-114 relative to subcutaneous PG-102. In the single-dose, open-label Phase 1a portion of the study, 30 healthy volunteers were randomized to receive an identical 12 mg dose of PG-102, delivered either orally via RT-114 or by subcutaneous injection.As reported in July, RT-114 achieved bioavailability greater than 150% relative to a matched subcutaneous dose of PG-102 and the elimination half-life was similar between the two arms of the study. The safety and tolerability profile of RT-114 is consistent with the GLP-1/GLP-2 agonist class. No serious adverse events were reported in either arm, and no adverse events were attributed to the RaniPill Capsule™ itself. Announced a new research and development collaboration with PegBio. In July 2026, Rani entered into a collaboration with PegBio Co., Ltd. to explore oral delivery, via the RaniPill® platform, of multiple candidates from PegBio's obesity and metabolic disease pipeline, adding to Rani's obesity programs across differentiated mechanisms of action. Under the terms of the agreement, Rani and PegBio will collaborate on the preclinical development of RaniPill formulations for multiple molecules, with the goal of advancing the most promising candidates into clinical development. Completed a $20.0 million registered direct offering. In May 2026, Rani priced a registered direct offering of stock, further strengthening the Company's cash position. The offering was led by a sovereign wealth fund, along with other new and existing healthcare-focused funds. Appointed Nicholas Maestas as Chief Financial Officer. In June 2026, Rani announced the appointment of Nicholas Maestas as Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Maestas brings more than a decade of financial leadership experience at clinical-stage biotechnology companies, including prior CFO and corporate strategy roles. Appointed Michelle Gilson to Board of Directors. In August 2026, Rani announced the appointment of Michelle Gilson to Rani’s Board of Directors, where she will serve as Chair of the Audit Committee. Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results: Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of June 30, 2026 totaled $53.4 million, compared to $43.4 million as of March 31, 2026. Rani expects its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities to be sufficient to fund its operations at least through 2027. Contract revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $1.7 million, compared to no contract revenue for the same period in 2025. The increase of $1.7 million was primarily attributable to the collaboration and license agreement with Chugai. Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 were $5.0 million, compared to $5.5 million for the same period in 2025. The decrease of $0.5 million was primarily attributable to lower compensation costs of $0.4 million and lower facilities, materials and supplies cost of $0.1 million. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 were $5.5 million, compared to $5.0 million for the same period in 2025. The increase of $0.5 million was primarily attributed to higher compensation costs of $0.3 million, and an increase in third-party services of $0.2 million. Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $8.4 million, compared to $11.2 million for the same period in 2025, including stock-based compensation expense of $2.4 million and $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively.

Rani Therapeutics Q4 Earnings Call Highlights
Chugai collaboration and financing: Rani signed an October 2025 licensing deal with Chugai worth up to ~$1.1 billion (with options for up to five additional targets) and completed an oversubscribed $60.3 million private placement, raising cash to $49.7 million, eliminating outstanding debt, and extending runway into Q4 2027. RT‑114 enters Phase I: Rani initiated a Phase I trial for RT‑114 (oral PG‑102) in December 2025 after preclinical data showed ~111% relative bioavailability and comparable weight loss versus injected PG‑102, with an 8‑week Phase I‑B in obese patients planned to evaluate weight loss, tolerability, and dosing decisions. Interested in Rani Therapeutics Holdings, Inc.? Here are five stocks we like better. Rani Therapeutics (NASDAQ:RANI) executives highlighted what they described as a “transformational” 2025 during the company’s fourth-quarter and full-year earnings call, pointing to progress advancing its oral biologics delivery platform, the launch of a new clinical study, and a new strategic collaboration that helped bolster the balance sheet. Chief Executive Officer Talat Imran said the clinical-stage company continues to develop its proprietary Rani Pill capsule, which is designed to enable oral delivery of biologics and other therapies as an alternative to subcutaneous injections or intravenous infusions while targeting comparable bioavailability. Imran said Rani has conducted multiple preclinical and clinical studies to evaluate safety, tolerability, and bioavailability of therapies delivered using the platform. → Quiet BNY and Northern Trust Reward Patient Investors Imran emphasized a collaboration and licensing agreement signed in October 2025 with Chugai Pharmaceutical, which he said carries a potential total value of up to approximately $1.1 billion. The agreement focuses on developing an oral therapy that combines Rani’s Rani Pill platform with Chugai’s rare disease antibody. He added that the deal includes an option for Chugai to expand the collaboration to as many as five additional drug targets under similar terms, which management framed as evidence of the platform’s scalability and potential applicability across a range of biologic molecules and therapeutic areas, including rare disease and immunology. → The Silicon Squeeze: AI Pricing Power Lifts Chip Stocks Alongside the Chugai agreement, Rani completed an “oversubscribed”…Read full documentShow less

A key operational milestone for 2025 was the initiation of a phase I clinical trial for RT-114 in December 2025. RT-114 is Rani’s oral version of PG-102, a bispecific GLP-1/GLP-2 receptor agonist delivered via the Rani Pill capsule. Imran noted that PG-102 is an Fc fusion GLP-1/GLP-2 molecule being developed by ProGen. → Is Oracle the First of the AI Bubbles to Pop? Management previously reported preclinical data in March 2025 showing RT-114 achieved 111% relative bioavailability compared to subcutaneous PG-102, with comparable pharmacokinetic profiles. Imran also said the company observed comparable weight loss between oral RT-114 and injected PG-102 in those studies, with less variability in the RT-114 group. The company also presented additional RT-114 data at ENDO 2025, which Imran said included canine data supporting bioequivalence and strengthening confidence in the program’s translational potential. According to Imran, the newly initiated phase I study is designed to evaluate safety, tolerability, bioavailability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics across single and multiple doses. In the Q&A session, Imran clarified that the company is running a phase I-B component: an eight-week study in obese patients where weight loss is one of the endpoints. He said the company plans to compare weight loss results to historical data for PG-102. Imran also discussed the role of tolerability in dose selection. While the company has debated whether better tolerability and oral convenience could support testing higher doses, he said Rani’s focus is on finding a profile that keeps patients on therapy long term, rather than “just maximizing weight loss” at the expense of nausea, vomiting, or other tolerability issues. He said the company would evaluate options after reviewing the phase I-B data. Rani also highlighted preclinical work on RT-116, an oral semaglutide program delivered via the Rani Pill capsule. Imran said Rani reported preclinical data in February 2025 showing comparable bioavailability, pharmacokinetics, and weight loss versus subcutaneous semaglutide, and that RT-116 was well-tolerated with no serious adverse events observed. In response to an analyst question about why RT-114’s clinical data could be important given prior results for PG-102’s active ingredient, Imran pointed to Rani’s historical clinical experience demonstrating high bioavailability across multiple programs including octreotide, teriparatide, and a secukinumab monoclonal antibody. He described RT-114 as the first Fc fusion protein the company has brought into the clinic and said the study could provide new learnings around pharmacokinetics. Imran also characterized RT-114 as the company’s first pharmacodynamic (PD) study with the Rani Pill in humans. He said Rani has generated PD data in canines for several incretins, including RT-114/PG-102, showing comparable weight loss to subcutaneous delivery, and suggested that reproducing similar relationships between PK and weight loss in humans could support broader confidence in the platform as a delivery mechanism across other therapeutic areas. When asked whether positive RT-114 PD data could influence future partnering discussions, including Chugai’s option decision-making, Imran said it could be a de-risking event depending on the partner but declined to comment on Chugai’s plans regarding its options, noting those decisions rest with the partner. Chief Financial Officer Svai Sanford reviewed results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025, and pointed investors to the company’s press release and Form 10-K filed the same day. Cash position: Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities were $49.7 million as of December 31, 2025, compared with $27.6 million at the end of 2024. Sanford attributed the increase primarily to the October 2025 private placement and the upfront license payment from the Chugai agreement, which closed concurrently. Debt: Sanford said Rani repaid all outstanding debt due to Avenue Capital during the fourth quarter and had no outstanding debt obligations as of December 31, 2025. Runway: Based on the current operating plan, Sanford said the company believes existing cash, equivalents, and marketable securities—“including expected technology transfer milestone payment under the Chugai agreement”—will fund operations into the fourth quarter of 2027 without additional financing. Contract revenue: Contract revenue was $1.5 million for the fourth quarter and $1.6 million for full-year 2025. Sanford said $1.5 million related to the Chugai agreement and $0.1 million to evaluation services for a customer. He noted that while the Chugai agreement included a $10 million upfront payment, accounting guidance requires the amount to be recognized over time; as a result, $1.5 million was recognized in the fourth quarter. R&D expenses: Research and development expenses were $4.9 million for the fourth quarter and $20.2 million for 2025, down from $6.8 million and $26.7 million, respectively, in 2024. Sanford said the year-over-year decrease reflected cost containment measures including a temporary pause and termination of certain R&D programs and reduced compensation, while noting R&D expenses are expected to increase as select programs resume and the platform advances. G&A expenses: General and administrative expenses were $5.1 million for the fourth quarter and $19.7 million for the year, compared with $5.5 million and $23.9 million in 2024, with the decline driven primarily by cost containment and reduced employee compensation. Net loss: Net loss was $9.1 million for the fourth quarter and $41.0 million for the full year, compared with $15.7 million and $56.6 million, respectively, in 2024. Sanford said the 2025 results included non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $2.2 million in the quarter and $11.8 million for the year. In closing remarks, Imran reiterated that management believes the Chugai collaboration supports the “broad applicability” of the Rani Pill platform and that obesity represents a near-term opportunity, while emphasizing the company’s focus on tolerability in a market where discontinuation rates can be high. He said Rani is “well capitalized” following the October private placement and views RT-114’s entry into the clinic as a key step as it carries momentum into 2026. Rani Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing oral delivery technologies for large-molecule drugs. The company's proprietary RaniPill platform is designed to enable the gastrointestinal delivery of biologic therapies traditionally administered via injection. Through a swallowable capsule that autonomously deploys a microscopic injector in the small intestine, Rani aims to improve patient convenience and adherence for peptide and protein therapies, including insulin and other hormones. Since its founding in 2012, Rani Therapeutics has advanced its lead programs through early-phase clinical trials, demonstrating proof-of-concept for oral insulin delivery.

In October 2025, Rani entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement with Chugai for up to $1.085 billion to develop an oral therapy combining the RaniPill® platform with Chugai’s rare disease antibody. Chugai has an option to expand rights to five additional drug targets. The partnership demonstrates RaniPill®’s potential to convert injectable biologics into oral therapies, improving patient adherence and accessibility. $60.3 million oversubscribed private placement. In October 2025, concurrently with the Chugai Collaboration and License Agreement, Rani raised approximately $60.3 million inclusive of $6.0 million debt conversion of outstanding debt due to Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund (“Avenue”), reducing the Company’s total debt obligations. Preclinical data demonstrating successful oral delivery of semaglutide via RaniPill® capsule. In February 2025, Rani released preclinical data that demonstrated semaglutide administered orally via the RaniPill® capsule (RT-116) resulted in comparable bioavailability, pharmacokinetics and weight loss to subcutaneous administration of semaglutide. RT-116 was well tolerated with no serious adverse events. Preclinical data demonstrating bioequivalence of RT-114, a bispecific GLP-1/GLP-2 receptor agonist (PG-102) delivered orally via the RaniPill® capsule, to subcutaneously administered PG-102. In March 2025, Rani released new preclinical data, where RT-114 yielded a relative bioavailability of 111% compared to PG-102 delivered subcutaneously with comparable pharmacokinetic profiles demonstrating bioequivalence. Initiated Phase 1 study of RT-114 via RaniPill® for the treatment of obesity in collaboration with ProGen. In December 2025, Rani initiated a Phase 1 clinical trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, bioavailability and pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of single and multiple doses of RT-114. Presented preclinical data on semaglutide delivered orally via RaniPill® at ObesityWeek® 2025. In November 2025, Rani presented preclinical data demonstrating that oral semaglutide administered via the RaniPill® (RT-116) demonstrated comparable bioavailability, pharmacokinetics and weight loss to subcutaneous administration. Late breaking presentation oral, novel, bispecific GLP-1/GLP-2 receptor agonist at ENDO 2025. In July 2025, Rani announced the presentation of preclinical data on oral delivery of RT-114 achieving bioequivalence to subcutaneous injection in canines. Satisfied outstanding debt obligations. In December 2025, Rani repaid all outstanding debt due to Avenue, including the remaining principal balance of $6.2 million, accrued interest, a final payment of $1.7 million, and a prepayment fee of $0.1 million. Upon repayment of these amounts, all obligations due to Avenue were fully satisfied. Rani no longer has any outstanding debt obligations as of December 31, 2025. Appointed Abraham Bassan and Vasudev Bailey, Ph.D. to Board of Directors. In October 2025, concurrently with the closing of the private placement, Rani announced the appointment of Abraham (“Abe”) Bassan, Partner at Samsara BioCapital, and Vasudev Bailey, Ph.D., General Partner at Anomaly Ventures to its Board of Directors. Promoted Alireza Javadi, Ph.D. to Chief Technical Officer. In January 2026, Rani announced the promotion of Alireza Javadi, Ph.D., to Chief Technical Officer. Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Results: Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2025 totaled $49.7 million, compared to $27.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Rani expects its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, including an expected technology transfer milestone payment pursuant to the Chugai agreement, to be sufficient to fund its operations into the fourth quarter of 2027. Contract revenue for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 were $1.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively. Of this, $1.5 million was attributed to a License and Collaboration Agreement and $0.1 million was attributed to evaluation services performed for a customer. Although the Chugai agreement included a $10 million upfront payment, revenue-recognition guidance requires us to recognize that amount over time as we satisfy our performance obligations. For comparison, there was $1.0 million of contract revenue for the same periods in 2024, all related to evaluation services for a customer. Research and development expenses for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 were $4.9 million and $20.2 million, respectively, compared to $6.8 million and $26.7 million for the same periods in 2024, respectively. The decrease of $6.5 million in R&D expenses in 2025 was primarily attributed to lower compensation costs of $5.3 million, $0.6 million reduction in facilities, materials and supplies, $0.5 million reduction in third-party services, and $0.1 million decrease in other expenses. These reductions reflect cost containment efforts, including the temporary pause or termination of certain R&D programs. We expect the R&D expenses to increase in future periods as we resume some of these programs and continue to invest in platform development. General and administrative expenses for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 were $5.1 million and $19.7 million, respectively, compared to $5.5 million and $23.9 million for the same periods in 2024, respectively. The decrease of $4.2 million in G&A expenses in 2025 was primarily attributed to the cost-containment initiative reducing compensation costs of $2.6 million, $0.5 million reduction in third-party services, $0.7 million reduction in other costs, and $0.4 million reduction in facilities, materials and supplies. Impairment loss for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024 were $3.7 million and was attributable to construction-in-progress property and equipment. No impairment loss was recognized for the same periods in 2025. Net loss for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 were $9.1 million and $41.0 million, respectively, compared to $15.7 million and $56.6 million for the same periods in 2024, respectively, including non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $2.2 million for the fourth quarter and $11.8 million for the full year 2025, compared to $4.0 million and $16.0 million for the same periods in 2024, respectively.

Thank you, Stephen. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining our earnings call for the fourth quarter and full year of 2025. I'm pleased to share the highlights of what we believe was a transformational year for Rani Therapeutics. During 2025, we made significant progress advancing and validating the RaniPill platform across multiple therapeutic modalities, while also strengthening our financial position and expanding our strategic partnerships. For those newer to our story, Rani Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotherapeutics company developing a platform designed to enable the oral delivery of biologics and other therapies. Our proprietary RaniPill capsule is intended to replace subcutaneous injections or intravenous infusions with an oral capsule while achieving comparable bioavailability. To date, we have conducted several preclinical and clinical studies evaluating the safety, tolerability, and bioavailability of therapies delivered using the RaniPill technology.
On today's call, I will begin by reviewing key milestones achieved over the past year across our strategic partnerships and financial activities, followed by progress across our pipeline. Following my remarks, Svai Sanford, our Chief Financial Officer, will review our financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2025. Also joining us on the call today is Kate McKinley, our Chief Business Officer. Let me start with our strategic partnerships and financing progress, which we believe further validate both the RaniPill platform and our broader business model. In October 2025, we entered into a collaboration and licensing agreement with Chugai Pharmaceutical for a potential total value of up to approximately $1.1 billion. The agreement focused on the development of an oral therapy combining our RaniPill platform with Chugai's rare disease antibody.
Importantly, the agreement also included an option for Chugai to expand the collaboration to up to five additional drug targets under similar terms. We believe this highlights the scalability of the RaniPill platform and the potential to apply it across a broad range of biologic molecules over time. More broadly, this partnership highlights the broad applicability of the RaniPill platform across multiple high-value therapeutic areas, including rare disease and immunology, where biologics remain the standard of care but are constrained by injectable delivery. Concurrently with the Chugai agreement, we've strengthened our balance sheet through an oversubscribed $60.3 million private placement, including $6 million of debt conversion led by leading life science investors. This financing significantly enhanced our capital position and extended our projected cash runway into the fourth quarter of 2027, enabling us to continue advancing both our pipeline and platform development.
Turning now to our pipeline progress, which was driven by strong preclinical and early clinical momentum across our key programs. We continue to be encouraged by the data for RT-114, our bispecific GLP-1/GLP-2 receptor agonist, PG-102, delivered orally via the RaniPill capsule. As a reminder, PG-102 is an Fc fusion GLP-1/GLP-2 molecule in development by ProGen. In March 2025, we reported preclinical data demonstrating that RT-114 achieved 111% relative bioavailability compared to subcutaneous PG-102, with comparable pharmacokinetic profiles. Importantly, we also observed comparable weight loss between oral RT-114 and injected PG-102, with less variability in the RT-114 group. These findings are particularly meaningful in the context of the rapidly evolving obesity treatment landscape. While current therapies demonstrate strong efficacy, they are often associated with tolerability challenges that can contribute to high discontinuation rates.
We believe the RaniPill platform may offer a differentiated approach by enabling oral delivery of these same biologics while maintaining comparable exposure and absorption. Across our studies to date, therapies delivered via the RaniPill capsule have demonstrated high tolerability, supporting our belief that oral biologics could meaningfully improve the patient experience without compromising efficacy. These results also build on encouraging clinical data generated by ProGen in its phase I program with subcutaneous PG-102, where obese patients experienced average weight loss of 4.8%, with reductions of up to 8.7% after five weeks of dosing. We were also pleased to present additional RT-114 data at ENDO 2025 in a late-breaking oral presentation, where canine data further confirmed bioequivalence and strengthened our confidence in the translational potential of the program.
Building on this momentum, in December 2025, we initiated a phase I clinical trial of RT-114. The study is designed to evaluate safety, tolerability, bioavailability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics across single and multiple doses. With RT-114 now in the clinic, we are entering an important new phase for the RaniPill platform and advancing what we believe could be a meaningful opportunity in oral obesity therapies. Moving to our additional programs, in February 2025, we reported preclinical data for RT-116, our oral semaglutide delivered via RaniPill, demonstrating comparable bioavailability, pharmacokinetics, and weight loss relative to subcutaneous semaglutide. RT-116 was well-tolerated, with no serious adverse events observed. Taken together, the data from RT-114 and RT-116 continue to reinforce our confidence in the RaniPill platform as a versatile oral delivery solution for incretin-based therapies.
Overall, we believe the progress we made this past year reflects our continued commitment to advancing the RaniPill platform and realizing our vision of making oral biologics a reality across a broad range of therapeutic areas. With RT-114 now in the clinic and a strengthened balance sheet supporting our development plans, we believe we are entering an exciting new phase for the company. We look forward to building on this momentum in 2026 as we continue advancing our pipeline and expanding our strategic partnerships. With that, I will now turn the call over to Svai Sanford, our Chief Financial Officer, to review our financial results.
Thank you, Talat, and good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for joining us today. As Talat has mentioned, earlier today we issue a press release and file our Form 10-K with the SEC containing our financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2025. I will briefly highlight a few key financial items on today's call. Additional detail can be found in our press release and in the Form 10-K. Turning to the balance sheet, cash equivalents, and marketable securities total $49.7 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $27.6 million at year-end 2024. The increase reflects the oversubscribed $60.3 million private placement that we closed in October 2025, as well as the upfront license payment from the collaboration agreement with Chugai, which closed concurrently with the private placement.
During the fourth quarter of 2025, we also repay all of the outstanding debt due to Avenue Capital and no longer have any outstanding debt obligations as of December 31, 2025. Based on our current operating plan, we believe our existing cash equivalents, and marketable securities, including expected technology transfer milestone payment under the Chugai agreement, will fund our operations into the fourth quarter of 2027 without the need for additional financing. Turning to our operating results. Contract revenue for the fourth quarter and year-end 2025 was $1.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively. Of this amount, $1.5 million related to the Chugai license and collaboration agreement, and $0.1 million related to the evaluation services for our customer.
Although the Chugai agreement included a $10 million upfront payment, revenue recognition guidance requires us to recognize that amount over time as we satisfy our performance obligation under the contract. As a result, only $1.5 million of that amount was recognized as revenue in the fourth quarter. For comparison, contract revenue for the same period in 2024 totaled $1 million, all of which related to evaluation services. Research and development expenses for the fourth quarter and full year 2025 were $4.9 million and $20.2 million respectively, compared to $6.8 million and $26.7 million for the same periods in 2024. The $6.5 million year-over-year decrease reflects the cost containment measure that we implemented, including temporary pause and termination of certain R&D programs and reduction in compensation.
We do expect R&D expenses to increase going forward as we resume select programs and continue advancing our technology platform. General and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter and full year 2025 were $5.1 million and $19.7 million, respectively, compared to $5.5 million and $23.9 million for the same period in 2024. The year-over-year decrease of $4.2 million primarily reflects the cost containment measures, including reduction in employee compensation. Net losses for the fourth quarter and full year 2025 were $9.1 million and $41 million, respectively, compared to $15.7 million and $56.6 million in the same period of 2024.
This amount includes non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $2.2 million in the fourth quarter and $11.8 million for the full year 2025, compared to $4 million and $16 million for the same period in 2024. That concludes my comments on the financial section. I will now return the call back over to Talat for closing comments. Talat?
Thank you, Svai. In closing, we believe the progress we made this past year further validates the potential of the RaniPill platform to transform how biologic medicines are delivered. Our collaboration with Chugai represents an important strategic milestone and highlights the broad applicability of our platform across multiple therapeutic areas. Importantly, the agreement also creates the opportunity to expand the partnership to additional molecules over time, which we believe could further unlock the value of the RaniPill platform at scale. We are particularly excited about the near-term opportunity in obesity. The preclinical data we have generated with RT-114 and RT-116 reinforce our belief that the RaniPill platform can deliver meaningful differentiation in this rapidly evolving market. While current therapies demonstrate strong efficacy, they are often associated with tolerability challenges and high discontinuation rates.
We believe an oral therapy capable of achieving drug exposures comparable to subcutaneous administration could represent a significant advancement for patients. Finally, following the successful private placement completed in October, we are well capitalized to execute on our development plans and advance our clinical pipeline. Overall, we are excited about the momentum we are carrying into 2026 with RT-114 now in the clinic, continued progress across our obesity programs, and expanding strategic partnerships. We believe we are well positioned to continue advancing our vision of making oral biologics a reality across a broad range of therapeutic areas. With that, I will now open the call up for questions. Operator?
Thank you. As a reminder, if you would like to ask a question, please press star 1 1 on your telephone. You will then hear the automated message advising your hand is raised. If you would like to remove yourself from the queue, please press star one again. One moment while we compile the Q&A roster. Our first question today will be coming from the line of Brandon Folkes of H.C. Wainwright. Your line is open.
Hi. Thanks for taking my questions, and congrats on all the progress. Maybe just two from me. Firstly, on 114, you know, when we do see the data, are you going to present any weight loss data or should we just look at bioavailability data and draw a parallel to PG 102? Then secondly, you know, given the potential tolerability of 114, how should we think about additional doses that you could explore? Are you going to explore an equivalent dose to PG 102 or could you explore additional doses as well? Thank you.
Hi, Brandon. Thank you for the questions. For the first one, on your question around our RT-114 GLP-1, GLP-2 program and what data to expect once we've completed the phase I. We are doing a phase I-B. As a reminder, this is an 8-week study in obese patients, so weight loss is one of the endpoints. We will look at that against the historical data for this molecule, as it's called by ProGen PG-102, to see if we're running around the same type of weight loss or the same trajectory. In terms of tolerability, it is something that we have debated that if we're showing similar tolerability and the convenience of an oral, could you pursue higher doses? I think even ProGen is looking at that with their SubQ.
I think it remains to be seen what we get in terms of data from this phase I-B study, as it pertains to weight loss. The reality I think in this space is that there are many options to lose weight, with these incretin-based therapies. There are very few, vanishingly few that do so, with tolerability profiles that'll keep most patients on the therapy for the long term. Our focus is more on the latter than on just maximizing weight loss and, driving up, any kind of nausea or vomiting or other tolerability issues it might present. I would say, on first blush, we would err towards tolerability because I think that's the primary differentiation factor of this drug.
We will, you know, just as anyone else would, look at the data once it's generated and draw our conclusions from that.
Great. Thank you very much, and congrats on all the progress.
Yeah. Thank you, Brandon.
One moment for the next question. The next question will be coming from the line of Michael Okunewitch of Maxim Group. Your line is open.
Hey, guys. Thank you so much for taking my questions today. Congrats on all the great progress. I guess I'd like to follow up and talk a little bit more about the phase I study for RT-114, and particularly the importance of that study and what new questions we should be looking for answers to, particularly in the context of PG-102 already having demonstrated some efficacy and safety for the active ingredient. I guess, where do you see the additional value to be unlocked in the clinical data for RT-114 specifically?
Hi, Michael. Thank you for your question. If you look back at the historical clinical data generated by Rani, we've shown consistently shown high bioavailability across multiple programs, octreotide, teriparatide, and the secukinumab monoclonal antibody. This is the first Fc fusion protein to go into the clinic, so there will be some interesting learnings from that in terms of PK. But primarily what we are most excited about and what we hope the market sees as well is this is the first PD study, going back to Brandon's question. This is the first PD study with the RaniPill in humans. We've generated PD data, weight loss data in particular with several incretins, RT-114 or PG-102 included in canines, and showed comparable weight loss to SubQ.
If we can recreate that in humans, if we're able to show that in phase I-B, we believe that that has the potential to read on to other incretin programs and really other programs in general, whether they're in immunology or rare disease or some other therapeutic area. Because ultimately, the RaniPill is a delivery mechanism. It's a swallowable auto-injector. If we can show similar PK correlates to similar weight loss with RT-114, we think this has. First, it's a milestone for the company and for that program, but then more broadly, it speaks to the broad applicability and potential of the RaniPill platform in multiple therapeutic areas.
All right. Would it be fair to say this is a key item for any additional conversations you're having on partnering efforts, either with Chugai for their other compounds that they have the five additional options for or for additional pharma partners?
It depends on the pharma partner. It goes back to the comment I made about the broad applicability. Some partners may be looking for that. I think it's gonna be a de-risking event, assuming the data is good, for any conversations that we have. Specifically with Chugai, I don't want to comment on what their thinking is for their option programs. They're our partner, and it's, you know, within their decision-making on when to exercise, if and when to exercise. I'm sure that having PD data, positive PD data, would not hurt for anybody, though.
All right. Well, thank you for the additional clarity, and I look forward to seeing that data as it starts to emerge.
We do too. Thank you, Michael.
Thank you. This does conclude today's Q&A session. I would like to go ahead and turn the call over to Talat for closing remarks. Please go ahead.
Thank you, Lisa. This concludes our fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results and corporate update conference call. Thank you again, everyone, for joining us this afternoon.
Thank you everyone for dialing in. You may now disconnect.

RANI: Third Quarter Results
By John Vandermosten, CFA NASDAQ:RANI READ THE FULL RANI RESEARCH REPORT On November 6th, Rani Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:RANI) reported third quarter 2025 results. Since our last update following the announcement of the Chugai deal and the $60 million private placement, Rani has closed the capital raise, added new board members and announced participation in ObesityWeek 2025. The recent collaboration with Chugai, the associated upfront payment and the follow-on capital raise provide a substantial boost and vote of confidence for the RaniPill, which have in part been reflected in the share price move.

During the third quarter, Rani repaid $3.8 million in debt bringing the carrying value of this debt to $13.5 million. Offsetting this outflow was a $2.8 million inflow from the July securities purchase agreement. Following the end of the third quarter, Rani announced a deal with Chugai that provided a $10 million upfront payment and spurred a $60.3 million capital raise. After accounting for another $3.8 million repayment of the debt in early October, Rani believes that it has a cash runway extending to 2028. Collaboration with Chugai Pharmaceuticals Rani announced a collaboration agreement with Chugai Pharmaceuticals in an October 17th press release[1] and Form 8-K filing. The deal provides Rani with a $10 million upfront payment and the potential for $57 million in development, $18 million in technology transfer and $100 million in sales milestones along with a single digit royalty on sales. The arrangement was preceded by a research agreement signed between the two in August 2024. The primary biologic to be combined with RaniPill (RP) High Capacity (HC) will treat hemophilia A and will be the successor to Hemlibra.[2] While similar in structure to Hemlibra, the molecule in question will be a new biologic entity and have all of the associated costs and benefits related to that status with respect to clinical trial requirements and patent protection. The new product is expected to allow for longer dosing intervals and, of course, oral administration, improving patient convenience. The two parties will share development responsibilities for the product, allocating preclinical, CMC, manufacturing and supply responsibilities between each other. Chugai will be solely responsible for clinical, regulatory and commercial efforts and its drug. Rani will focus on the device. The collaboration and license agreement includes a $10 million upfront payment, the potential for $75 million in technology transfer and development milestones, $100 million in sales milestones and single digit royalties on product sales. The agreement grants Chugai an exclusive, worldwide right and license to RP HC intellectual property to research, develop, manufacture, commercialize and market the drug-device combination. Rani has the right to manufacture and supply the device and will receive payment from Chugai to do so. Chugai retains the right to replace the identified compound with another, a time-limited right of first refusal for a select group of additional targets and an option to extend its rights to five additional drug targets. Concurrent Financings Concurrent with the Chugai collaboration announcement, Rani priced a $60.3 million private placement of 42,633,337 Class A common shares and 82,366,667 pre-funded warrants to close on October 21st, 2025. Each Class A share or pre-funded warrant has a warrant attached with an exercise price of $0.48 and a five-year life. H.C. Wainwright and Maxim Group acted as placement agents. Gross proceeds were $60.3 million, prior to deducting related fees and expenses. Based on information provided, we estimate that net proceeds will be approximately $57.3 million after expenses are recognized. The private placement closed on October 23rd. Private placement investors include Samsara BioCapital, RA Capital Management, Anomaly, Special Situation Funds, Invus and founder Mir Imran. Each of the investors has a specialty in life sciences investing with longer term investment horizons compared to the average generalist capital provider. After the financing closed, Samsara and Anomaly each designated a member to Rani’s board. The appointees include Abe Bassan from Samsara and Dr. Vasudev Bailey of Anomaly Ventures. Each has a deep investment background. Mr. Bassan as an operator supporting therapeutic programs and Dr. Vasudev with biomedical engineering and emerging healthcare technology. The number of board members will not change. Samsara and Anomaly will maintain their right to a board seat as long as they continue to own 25% of the securities issued to them as part of the capital raise. In 2022, Rani entered into a loan agreement with Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund and as of June 30th, 2025 carried long term debt of $17.2 million on its balance sheet. Along with the equity capital raise, Rani converted $6 million of this obligation for 12.5 million shares of Class A Rani stock. This is equivalent to $0.48 per share. Each share includes an attached warrant with an exercise price of $0.48.

Research Agreement with Chugai A May 19th press release informed investors that Rani had signed a research agreement with Chugai Pharmaceutical Co. on August 13th, 2024. The agreement granted Chugai rights to develop two molecules with undisclosed targets. Since the signing, the partner has demonstrated bioavailability comparable with delivery via the subcutaneous route for both molecules. The partners are now evaluating feasibility of applying Rani’s technology to these antibodies. Chugai Pharmaceutical is a research and development-oriented pharmaceutical company based in Tokyo, Japan established in 1925. It operates as a subsidiary of Hoffmann-La Roche which owns a 62% stake and trades on multiple exchanges including the OTC under the ticker CHGCY. Chugai has developed and marketed several globally recognized pharmaceuticals, often in partnership with Roche. This includes Hemlibra, Actemra, and Alecensa among other products. Chugai also discovered orforglipron and licensed it to Eli Lilly in 2018. Endocrine Society’s Annual Meeting (ENDO 2025) Poster Rani participated in the 2025 Endocrine Society Annual Meeting, which was held in San Francisco July 12th to 15th. As described in a July 14th press release, company scientist Anvesh Dasari, Ph.D. presented a poster entitled Oral Delivery of a Bispecific GLP-1/GLP-2 Receptor Agonist (PG-102) via a Robotic Pill (RT-114) Achieves Bioequivalence to Subcutaneous Injection in Canines. The work presented preclinical data including delivery success rate, oral bioavailability for RP vs. subcutaneous (SC) delivery and weight loss in the canine models. 12.0 milligrams of PG-102, a GLP-1/GLP-2 receptor agonist was delivered into a population of 16 healthy canines. Six were administered PG-102 by SC injection and oral administration of the RP was given to 10 canines. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data was measured such as serum drug concentrations, food intake and body weight, safety, tolerability and delivery reliability. The Rani Pill was successfully delivered in nine of ten subjects and generated oral bioavailability of 111% relative to subcutaneous delivery. Food consumption was inversely correlated to serum drug concentrations for RT-114 and weight loss was comparable between the two arms of the study. Graphic details of the findings are included below. RT-114 AND PG-102 Results ProGen Collaboration Details In June 2024, Rani announced a collaboration with ProGen Co., Ltd. to develop an oral obesity treatment combining ProGen’s FC Fusion protein conjugated GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist, PG-102, with Rani’s Rani Pill HC. Rani entered into a definitive agreement with ProGen to develop a new product designated RT-114, an oral dose of ProGen’s PG-102. The companies will equally share the costs of development of RT-114 and divide geographies between them. Details of the arrangement between the two companies can be found in the second quarter 2024 Form 10-Q.[1] Following the deal between Rani and ProGen, the partners have begun a development plan for the GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist. As of August 2025, ProGen has completed its Phase I trial for PG-102 with the primary endpoints of safety and tolerability and has started a Phase II study with further details on timing and readout expected later this year. Rani is advancing a head-to-head preclinical comparison of orally administered PG-102 using the RaniPill capsule (RT-114) to 16 healthy canines. Data from this study was presented at the ENDO meeting with details included above. ProGen Clinical Trials ProGen’s Phase I trial underway for PG-102 announced preliminary results for the repeat-dose portion (Phase Ic) of its Phase I study. The candidate produced an average weight loss in subjects (N=73) of 4.8% after five weeks of dosing. Subcutaneous PG-102 was well tolerated with subjects able to titrate to the target dose in one month. There were no treatment discontinuations. Additional data was presented at the Asian Association for the Study of Diabetes (AASD) which was held March 28th to 30th. Rani’s Senior Strategic Advisor, Jesper Høiland hypothesizes that the rapid titration may facilitate faster onset, shortening the time between initial administration and target weight loss. It is notable that the 4.8% average weight loss was achieved after five weeks compared to the four to five months required by approved GLP-1 agonists.[2] ProGen is planning a Phase II study of PG-102 that will compare the candidate with placebo in obesity and Type 2 diabetes. Six sites in Korea have been identified and sites outside Korea are also being added. Rani Preclinical Trials Rani is running its preclinical study, delivering either a 12 mg dose of PG-102 using RaniPill (N=10) or subcutaneously (N=6). This is estimated to be equivalent to a 60 mg dose in humans. The study is evaluating endpoints including safety, tolerability and reliability of the RaniPill capsule as well as pharmacokinetics, which is serum concentration measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Body weight and food intake are also being measured.

(“Rani Therapeutics” or “Rani”) (Nasdaq: RANI), a clinical-stage biotherapeutics company focused on the oral delivery of biologics and drugs, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 and provided a corporate update. “In the second quarter of 2025, we have announced a research collaboration with Chugai for two molecules with undisclosed targets,” said Talat Imran, Chief Executive Officer of Rani Therapeutics. “We believe this collaboration has the potential to transform into a long-term strategic partnership as we advance our pipeline of oral biologic therapies aimed at addressing the needs of patients with chronic diseases. Additionally, at ENDO 2025, we presented compelling preclinical data on our oral bispecific GLP-1/GLP-2 receptor agonist, RT-114. This data, demonstrating bioequivalence to subcutaneous injections in canines, highlights RT-114’s potential to revolutionize the obesity treatment landscape. Looking ahead to the second half of 2025, we remain focused on initiating a Phase 1 trial for RT-114 as a novel oral therapy for obesity.” Second Quarter 2025 Highlights: Strategic Research Collaboration with Chugai. In May 2025, Rani announced that the company has entered into a Research Collaboration in August 2024 for two molecules with undisclosed targets provided by Chugai. The full analysis confirms the RaniPill® delivery demonstrated comparable bioavailability to the subcutaneous route of delivery for both molecules studied.
