MDB Capital Holdings, LLC reported significant financial changes in its 10-Q filing for the period ending September 30, 2024. The company experienced a notable increase in cash and cash equivalents, rising to $16.7 million from $6.1 million at the end of 2023, marking a 173.3% increase. However, the company also reported a substantial increase in its accumulated deficit, which grew to $(31.3 million) from $(12.1 million) over the same period.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, MDB Capital Holdings recorded a net loss of $(8.4 million), compared to a net loss of $(3.2 million) in the same period of 2023. The net loss attributable to the company was $(7.7 million), up from $(3.0 million) year-over-year. The net loss per Class A common share increased to $(0.83) from $(0.49) in the prior year. The total operating costs for the quarter surged to $8.1 million, a significant rise from $2.5 million in the previous year, primarily driven by increased general and administrative expenses, which totaled $7.4 million compared to $2.5 million in 2023.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, MDB reported a net loss of $(20.9 million), a stark contrast to the $(1.8 million) loss reported in the same period of 2023. The operating income for this period was $1.0 million, but total operating costs reached $22.8 million, leading to a net operating loss of $(21.8 million).

The company’s investment activities also saw changes, with proceeds from investment securities (U.S. Treasury Bills) increasing to $37.9 million from $15.1 million year-over-year. However, the purchases of these securities also rose significantly to $(17.8 million) from $(6.0 million).

Strategically, MDB Capital Holdings has made moves to strengthen its position in the market. The company entered a Term Equity Purchase Agreement to invest up to $5 million in Minnesota One over five years, contingent on business needs. Additionally, MDB holds a 67% ownership stake in Minnesota One, which is focused on developing pharmaceuticals based on Mayo Foundation patents.

The company also anticipates a reduction in its ownership stake in Invizyne from approximately 61% to 49% following its initial public offering scheduled for November 14, 2024. This strategic shift reflects MDB's ongoing efforts to enhance its investment portfolio while navigating the challenges of increased operational costs and losses.
