CAMBRIDGE, MA / ACCESS Newswire / February 13, 2026 / Moderna, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRNA) today reported financial results and provided business updates for the fourth quarter of 2025.
"In 2025, we sharpened our commercial execution, launched our third product and brought online three international manufacturing sites, while advancing our mRNA pipeline. At the same time, we lowered our annual operating expenses by approximately $2.2 billion, significantly surpassing our cost-reduction targets," said Stéphane Bancel, Chief Executive Officer of Moderna. "We entered the new year with strong momentum despite the continued challenging environment in the U.S., poised to deliver up to 10 percent revenue growth through mNEXSPIKE expansion and our international strategic partnerships. We look forward to delivering multiple potential product approvals and late-stage clinical readouts, while driving continued innovation across our mRNA platform."
Commercial Updates
Moderna is entering the year with three approved products, Spikevax®, mNEXSPIKE® and mRESVIA®, with seasonal vaccines expected to deliver up to 10% revenue growth in 2026. In line with its strategy to drive growth through geographic expansion and new product launches, the Company recently announced long-term agreements with Mexico and Taiwan for respiratory vaccines, received regulatory approvals in Canada and Australia for mNEXSPIKE, and the strain-updated Spikevax vaccine was authorized in the UK for use in the spring vaccination campaign. The Company also announced a strategic collaboration with Recordati to globally commercialize Moderna's propionic acidemia candidate.
Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Revenue: Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $678 million, on the higher end of the Company's prior expectations, and was driven primarily by COVID vaccine sales. Product sales were $264 million in the U.S. and $381 million in international markets. Fourth quarter revenue decreased 30% compared to the same period in 2024, primarily reflecting lower COVID vaccine sales volume compared to the prior-year period.
Cost of Sales: Cost of sales for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $452 million, including third-party royalties of $34 million and inventory write-downs of $144 million. Cost of sales decreased 39% compared to the same period in 2024, primarily reflecting lower contract manufacturing wind-down costs and inventory write-downs.
Research and Development Expenses: Research and development expenses for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $775 million, a 31% decrease compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease was driven primarily by lower clinical development and manufacturing costs, reflecting the wind-down of large Phase 3 respiratory programs, continued portfolio prioritization and cost discipline across the organization.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $308 million, a 12% decrease compared to the same period in 2024. The decline was primarily driven by reductions in consulting and external services across multiple functions, reflecting continued discipline across the organization.
Income Taxes: Income tax provisions for both periods were not material, as the Company continues to maintain a global valuation allowance against most of its deferred tax assets.
Net Loss: Net loss was $(826) million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to net loss of $(1.1) billion for the fourth quarter of 2024.
Loss Per Share: Loss per share was $(2.11) for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to loss per share of $(2.91) for the fourth quarter of 2024.
Full Year 2025 Financial Results
Revenue: Total revenue for the full year 2025 was $1.9 billion, a 40% decrease compared to 2024, with the majority generated from COVID vaccine sales, along with $126 million of other revenue. U.S. revenue totaled $1.2 billion, while revenue from international markets was $745 million. The year-over-year decrease primarily reflected lower COVID vaccine sales volume across all regions. During 2025, the Company also began recognizing stand-ready manufacturing revenue related to its long-term strategic partnerships, which is reported in other revenue.
Cost of Sales: Cost of sales for the full year 2025 was $868 million, including third-party royalties of $88 million and inventory write-downs of $291 million. Cost of sales decreased 41% compared to 2024, driven primarily by manufacturing productivity and operational efficiencies, lower inventory write-downs, lower contract manufacturing wind-down costs, and lower sales volume.
Research and Development Expenses: Research and development expenses for the full year 2025 were $3.1 billion, a 31% decrease compared to 2024. The decrease was driven primarily by lower clinical development and manufacturing costs, reflecting the wind-down of large Phase 3 respiratory programs, continued portfolio prioritization and cost discipline across the organization. These decreases were partially offset by increased investment in the Company's norovirus vaccine and oncology programs. In addition, 2024 included costs related to the purchase of two priority review vouchers, which did not recur in 2025.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses for the full year 2025 were $1.0 billion, a 13% decrease compared to 2024. The decrease was driven primarily by lower consulting and external services, along with reduced spending across multiple functions and operating areas, while the Company continued to invest in supporting its commercial operations and broader business activities.
Income Taxes: Income tax provisions for both periods were not material, as the Company continues to maintain a global valuation allowance against most of its deferred tax assets.
Net Loss: Net loss for the full year 2025 was $2.8 billion, compared to $3.6 billion for the full year 2024.
Loss Per Share: Loss per share for the full year 2025 was $(7.26), compared to $(9.28) for the full year 2024.
Cash Position: Cash, cash equivalents and investments as of December 31, 2025, were $8.1 billion, compared to compared to $9.5 billion as of December 31, 2024. The year-end balance included a $600 million initial draw on the Company's $1.5 billion credit facility, with the year-over-year decrease primarily driven by operating losses associated with continued investment in research and development and advancement of the Company's pipeline.
2026 Financial Framework
Revenue: The Company is targeting up to 10% growth from 2025 revenue and expects 2026 revenue split to be approximately 50% U.S. and approximately 50% international.
Cost of Sales: Cost of sales for 2026 is expected to be approximately $0.9 billion.

Recent Progress and Upcoming Late-Stage Pipeline Milestones
Infectious disease vaccines:
Seasonal flu + COVID vaccine: Currently, the Company's mRNA-1083 regulatory filing is under review in Europe and Canada. Moderna is awaiting further guidance from U.S. FDA on refiling the submission for its flu/COVID combination vaccine.
Seasonal flu vaccine: The Company's mRNA-1010 regulatory filings are under review in Europe, Canada and Australia and potential approvals are expected to begin in 2026. Moderna received a Refusal-to-File letter from the U.S. FDA and has requested a Type A meeting to understand the path forward.
Norovirus vaccine: Moderna's ongoing Phase 3 safety and efficacy study of mRNA-1403 is fully enrolled in a second Northern Hemisphere season (2025-2026) with a data readout expected in 2026, subject to case accruals.
Oncology therapeutics:
Intismeran autogene: The Company is advancing mRNA-4157 in collaboration with Merck, with eight total Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials underway across multiple tumor types including melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), bladder cancer and renal cell carcinoma. The Phase 3 adjuvant melanoma, the Phase 2 adjuvant renal cell carcinoma, and most recently, the Phase 2 adjuvant muscle invasive bladder cancer trials are fully enrolled. Moderna and Merck recently announced positive five-year Phase 2b adjuvant melanoma data, which showed intismeran autogene in combination with KEYTRUDA reduced the risk of recurrence or death by 49% compared to KEYTRUDA alone. Moderna expects Phase 3 adjuvant melanoma data potentially in 2026.
mRNA-4359: Moderna's Phase 1/2 study of mRNA-4359, an investigational wholly-owned cancer antigen therapy, is ongoing. The Phase 2 portion of the study includes cohorts in first-line metastatic melanoma, second-line+ metastatic melanoma and first-line metastatic NSCLC, and the Company expects a potential Phase 2 data readout in 2026.
Rare disease therapeutics:
Propionic acidemia (PA) therapeutic: The Company's PA candidate, mRNA-3927, is in a registrational study and target enrollment has been reached. Moderna expects a potential data readout in 2026.
Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) therapeutic: Moderna's mRNA-3705 has been selected by the FDA for the Support for Clinical Trials Advancing Rare Disease Therapeutics (START) pilot program, with a registrational study expected to begin in 2026.
