BioRestorative Therapies, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:BRTX) Shift From Loss To Profit

Simply Wall St.
05 Feb

We feel now is a pretty good time to analyse BioRestorative Therapies, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:BRTX) business as it appears the company may be on the cusp of a considerable accomplishment. BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. develops therapeutic products and medical therapies using cell and tissue protocols primarily involving adult stem cells. With the latest financial year loss of US$10m and a trailing-twelve-month loss of US$9.6m, the US$16m market-cap company alleviated its loss by moving closer towards its target of breakeven. Many investors are wondering about the rate at which BioRestorative Therapies will turn a profit, with the big question being “when will the company breakeven?” In this article, we will touch on the expectations for the company's growth and when analysts expect it to become profitable.

Consensus from 2 of the American Biotechs analysts is that BioRestorative Therapies is on the verge of breakeven. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2026, before generating positive profits of US$26m in 2027. The company is therefore projected to breakeven around 2 years from now. How fast will the company have to grow each year in order to reach the breakeven point by 2027? Working backwards from analyst estimates, it turns out that they expect the company to grow 64% year-on-year, on average, which is extremely buoyant. If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, the company may become profitable much later than analysts predict.

Underlying developments driving BioRestorative Therapies' growth isn’t the focus of this broad overview, but, keep in mind that by and large biotechs, depending on the stage of product development, have irregular periods of cash flow. This means that a high growth rate is not unusual, especially if the company is currently in an investment period.

Before we wrap up, there’s one aspect worth mentioning. BioRestorative Therapies currently has no debt on its balance sheet, which is quite unusual for a cash-burning biotech, which typically has high debt relative to its equity. This means that the company has been operating purely on its equity investment and has no debt burden. This aspect reduces the risk around investing in the loss-making company.
