Compass Pathways Announces First Quarter 2026 Financial Results and Business Highlights

Compass Pathways plc (Nasdaq: CMPS), a biotechnology company dedicated to accelerating patient access to evidence-based innovation in mental health, today reported first quarter 2026 financial results and business highlights.

“With regulatory acceleration unfolding, we are working diligently towards our goal of completing the filing of a robust clinical package by Q4 and securing COMP360 approval,” said Kabir Nath, Chief Executive Officer of Compass Pathways. “COMP360 represents a fundamentally different approach for patients with treatment resistant depression, unlike any other treatment approved today. Its transformative clinical profile has the potential to change what patients can expect in terms of both rapid and durable relief, and we are ready to deliver for those who have waited far too long for better options.”

Business Highlights

Accelerated regulatory path

Approval timelines are tracking to Compass’ fastest projected expectations, supported by regulatory acceleration including a rolling New Drug Application (NDA) submission and the Commissioner’s National Priority Review Voucher (CNPV).

• NDA rolling submission underway:
  • FDA granted Compass NDA rolling submission and review request, based on strength of positive Phase 3 data.
  • Rolling submission and review are underway, with sections of the NDA already submitted.
  • 26-week (Part B) data from COMP006, expected in early Q3 2026.
  • The final NDA submission remains on track for Q4, aligned with the Company’s previously defined accelerated timing.
• Post-NDA filing momentum:
  • CNPV awarded for COMP360, Compass’ proprietary formulation of synthetic psilocybin for TRD, which has the potential to accelerate filing review time to be completed within 1-2 months.
  • White House Executive Order on psychedelics treatments directs the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to initiate and complete review of psychedelic treatment that has successfully completed Phase 3 trials so that rescheduling may proceed as quickly as possible.

Advancing toward commercial launch

• Launch readiness:
  • Compass will be launch ready by the end of the year and has assembled a highly experienced commercial leadership team.
  • The team is advancing comprehensive launch preparedness efforts, including KOL and HCP education, payer engagement, and ongoing initiatives to support a timely federal and state rescheduling process.
• Delivery infrastructure readiness:
  • COMP360 is expected to fit seamlessly across diverse healthcare settings within the current infrastructure of over 7,300 centers¹ offering multi-hour treatments
  • Treatment centers are growing rapidly, and existing centers are already scaling in anticipation of a COMP360 launch and additional multi-hour psychedelic treatments coming to market.

COMP360’s transformative clinical profile

• COMP360 has the potential to offer a highly differentiated, transformative clinical profile and is expected to be a blockbuster opportunity.
• COMP360 is the first classic psychedelic² to consistently achieve a highly statistically significant result and clinically meaningful effect in 3 large late-stage trials involving more than 1,000 participants living with TRD, with a generally well-tolerated and safe profile.
• COMP360 demonstrates effects as quickly as within one day after administration with durability lasting at least through 6 months for those who achieve a clinically meaningful response after one or two doses.

Financial Highlights

• Research and development expenses were $26.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared with $30.9 million during the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by lower development expenses, reflecting reduced clinical trial costs as our Phase 3 program for COMP360 psilocybin therapy in TRD progresses toward completion, as well reduced discovery program expenses following the termination of certain programs in connection with the reorganization that took place in the fourth quarter of 2024 and the related contract terminations in 2025.
• General and administrative expenses were $16.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared with $18.7 million during the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily due to lower legal and professional fees, driven by higher financing-related costs in 2025, including those associated with warrant issuances, which were expensed as incurred, whereas a greater portion of such costs in 2026 were capitalized. This decrease was partially offset by increased consulting and legal advisory expenses.
• Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $91.2 million, or $0.71 net income per share (basic) and $0.30 net loss per share (diluted), compared with a net loss of $17.9 million, or $0.20 net loss per share (basic) and $0.24 net loss per share (diluted), during the same period in 2025. The increase in net income was primarily driven by a $130.9 million non-cash gain on fair value adjustment related to our warrants, compared with $19.5 million during the same period in 2025. As the fair value of the warrants fluctuates with our share price, this adjustment can result in significant variability in our reported net income or net loss.
• Cash and cash equivalents were $466.0 million as of March 31, 2026, compared with $149.6 million as of December 31, 2025.
• Debt was $50.5 million as of March 31, 2026, compared with $31.6 million as of December 31, 2025.

Financial Guidance

The current cash position is expected to be sufficient to fund operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into 2028.
