A Letter from Our CEODear Shareholders,2025 marked an important inflection point for Recursion — the year our AI-native foundation began translating from theoretical advantage into clinical reality. We moved from vision and promise to demonstrating tangible clinical evidence powered by our end-to-end AI-native operating system for creating medicines, and we did so with growing confidence, discipline, and momentum. As I reflect on the year behind us and look ahead to 2026 and beyond, I believe Recursion is entering one of its most consequential chapters yet.The foundational question is no longer whether AI can play a role in drug discovery and development. We have demonstrated that it can — and we believe the next decade will be defined by how deeply AI is embedded into the fabric of new medicines itself. The more important question now is: what value does it create, and how does that value show up in the lives of patients? Quality medicines are the standard by which AI in medicine will ultimately be judged. That value will not come from AI layered onto the margins of R&D, but from seamlessly integrating AI into the drug discovery and development process itself — improving probability of success, compressing timelines, and deploying capital more efficiently. We are positioning Recursion not only to meet that standard, but to define it.My conviction in our path forward is rooted in the foundation we have built and the proof points we are beginning to generate through our full stack AI platform. Our strategy is organized around three core pillars, underpinned by exceptional people and a culture grounded in rigor and curiosity.
First: Translating Insights into Proof Points — and Ultimately into Medicines.In 2025, we achieved our first AI-enabled clinical proof of concept. In familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), REC-4881 demonstrated that a novel, platform-derived biological insight — identifying MEK1/2 inhibition as a therapeutic entry point — can translate into meaningful clinical outcomes. For patients living with a progressive, lifelong disease with no approved pharmacotherapies, this represents tangible progress.This milestone is more than a single data readout. It is early validation of a core premise: that systematically decoding biology at scale can yield differentiated medicines — and that the more we learn, the stronger the system becomes.We enter 2026 with five clinical programs advancing with defined differentiation and clear go/no-go criteria, alongside a growing discovery pipeline informed by platform-generated insights. We are also delivering for our partners, having achieved over $500 million in upfront and progress-based milestone payments to date. With Roche and Genentech, we have delivered whole-genome CRISPR phenomaps in human neuronal and microglial cells, generating $213 million in cash inflows. With Sanofi, we are advancing AI-driven small-molecule programs in oncology and immunology, contributing $134 million in cash inflows to date.These are not isolated successes; they are signals that our platform is beginning to compound — generating insights, molecules, and proof from a shared technological core.Second: Surgically Doubling Down on our Full Stack AI Platform Innovation, Grounded in Impact.AI must improve outcomes across the full R&D value chain — not just isolated steps. Our focus is therefore on building and operating an integrated, end-to-end platform spanning biology, chemistry, and clinical development — designed to continuously learn across programs and improve with scale.
“THE FOUNDATIONAL QUESTION IS NO LONGER WHETHER AI CAN PLAY A ROLE IN DRUG DISCOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT. WE HAVE DEMONSTRATED THAT IT CAN — AND WE BELIEVE THE NEXT DECADE WILL BE DEFINED BY HOW DEEPLY AI IS EMBEDDED INTO THE FABRIC OF NEW MEDICINES ITSELF. THE MORE IMPORTANT QUESTION NOW IS: WHAT VALUE DOES IT CREATE, AND HOW DOES THAT VALUE SHOW UP IN THE LIVES OF PATIENTS?”
Drug discovery has historically been fragmented, with biological hypotheses, molecular design, and clinical execution optimized independently. We have built Recursion to close that gap — not through incremental tools, but through a deeply integrated architecture that connects experimental data, machine learning, and execution in a unified feedback loop. In biology, phenomics combined with multi-omic and patient-derived data is strengthening translational insight. In chemistry, precision generative design — strengthened by the integration of Exscientia — accelerates convergence on high-quality candidates, including against historically difficult targets. In clinical development, our newly created AI-enabled ClinTech system applies patient-level inference to improve trial design, patient selection, and execution, increasing signal quality and operational efficiency.When AI functions as a continuous system rather than a collection of tools, its impact compounds— and that compounding effect is the foundation of our long-term strategic advantage. That is the platform we are building.Third: Pairing Bold Ambition with Discipline.Ambition must be matched with focus to create durable value. In 2025, we sharpened our portfolio, streamlined operations, and applied more rigorous capital allocation. We materially reduced projected cash burn while preserving investment in our highest-impact programs and platform capabilities.This discipline extends beyond financial stewardship. It shapes how we set milestones, evaluate data, and make transparent go/no-go decisions. As we move into 2026, you should expect continued execution rigor and a relentless orientation toward value creation.The foundation of this progress is our people — teams fluent in both science and AI, who approach biology with humility and technology with rigor. They are connecting data, models, and clinical insight into a unified system designed to deliver differentiated therapies.Making medicines has always been personal for me. Recursion was founded on a belief I deeply share: that biology is complex, but not unknowable — and that advances in AI and automation can fundamentally reshape how medicines are discovered.The next phase is about scaling that belief into durable impact — across programs, partnerships, and ultimately across diseases.We will continue advancing the Recursion Operating System as a source of long-term differentiation while prioritizing programs and partnerships where we have the strongest conviction and greatest opportunity to deliver for patients. Ambition and discipline are not opposing forces — they are mutually reinforcing.Approximately 80% of diseases still lack disease-modifying therapies. The opportunity before us is vast. The credibility of AI in medicine will not be earned through better models alone, but through translation — from data to decisions, from platforms to pipelines, and from science to patients. We intend to be the company that defines that standard.Our objective is clear: apply AI and science with rigor, focus, and humanity to deliver meaningful medicines. Thank you for your continued partnership as we build a company defined not only by impact and discipline, but by the ambition to drive durable value creation to reshape how medicines are discovered and delivered for generations to come.Sincerely,Najat Khan, Ph.D.Chief Executive Officer, President, and Board Member Recursion
“MAKING MEDICINES HAS ALWAYS BEEN PERSONAL FOR ME. RECURSION WAS FOUNDED ON A BELIEF I DEEPLY SHARE: THAT BIOLOGY IS COMPLEX, BUT NOT UNKNOWABLE — AND THAT ADVANCES IN AI AND AUTOMATION CAN FUNDAMENTALLY RESHAPE HOW MEDICINES ARE DISCOVERED.”
