Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. Nature of operations

AbCellera Biologics Inc.’s (the “Company”) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on discovering and developing antibody-based medicines in the areas of endocrinology, women’s health, immunology, and oncology. The Company aims to bring antibody therapeutics from target to clinic by combining expertise, technologies, and infrastructure to build our capabilities for antibody drug discovery and development. The Company uses its capabilities to develop its own pipeline of future antibody drugs and work with partners to build a large and diversified portfolio of royalty (and equivalent) stakes in future antibody drugs.

  1. Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, the year-end condensed consolidated financial statement data was derived from audited financial statements and these financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and the accompanying notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025 are not necessarily indicative of results that can be expected for a full year. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements follow the same significant accounting policies as those described in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2024.

All amounts expressed in these condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and the accompanying notes thereto are expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except for share data and where otherwise indicated. References to “$” are to U.S. dollars and references to “C$” and “CAD” are to Canadian dollars.

  1. Significant accounting policies

Use of estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Areas of significant estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition including estimated timing of completion of performance obligations and determining whether an option for additional goods or services represents a material right, the impairment assessment of intangible assets and goodwill, the fair value of contingent consideration payable, and the estimates associated with stock-based compensation awards. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates when there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could significantly differ from those estimates.

Recent accounting pronouncements

The Company has reviewed recent accounting pronouncements and concluded that they are either not applicable to the Company or have no material impact in the condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of their adoption.

  1. Net loss per share

Basic and diluted net loss per share was calculated as follows:

Three months ended June 30,Six months ended June 30,
Basic and diluted loss per share2024202520242025
Net loss$(36,930)$(34,727)$(77,540)$(80,348)
Weighted-average common shares outstanding294,217,013298,508,601293,467,753298,105,760
Net loss per share - basic and diluted$(0.13)$(0.12)$(0.26)$(0.27)

The Company’s potentially dilutive securities, which include stock options and restricted share units (“RSUs”), have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2025 as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share. Therefore, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2025 used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share is the same.

The Company excluded 58,545,821 and 58,804,118, and 71,749,963 and 71,848,805 potential common shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively, from the computation of diluted net loss per share because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect.

  1. Financial instruments

Fair Value Measurements

The Company categorizes its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three-level hierarchy established by U.S. GAAP that prioritizes those inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value based on the degree to which they are observable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2 inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 inputs are not observable in the market.

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable, loans receivable, accounts payable and other liabilities, and contingent consideration payable. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other liabilities, and loans receivable, approximate their fair values, and are primarily classified as Level 2.

Contingent consideration relates to potential earn-out and milestone payments from previous business acquisitions with fair value measurements being categorized as Level 3. There were no changes to the valuation technique and inputs used since acquisition. The fair value measurement was determined by estimating the expected future cash flows. The significant assumptions include the amount and timing of projected future cash flows, discounted at a credit adjusted risk free rate of 7.0%.

As of December 31, 2024, the contingent consideration balance was $8.1 million. As of March 31, 2025, it was $8.8 million, which was subsequently paid in its entirety in the second quarter of 2025.

At June 30, 2025, the Company also held non-marketable securities included in other long-term assets of $33.1 million (December 31, 2024 - $32.3 million). These non-marketable securities are measured at cost less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer.

Marketable Securities

As part of the Company’s cash management strategy, the Company holds high credit quality marketable securities that are available to support the Company’s current operations. As of June 30, 2025, our marketable securities were rated A- or higher (or its equivalent) by at least two of the major rating agencies with a weighted average life of approximately 0.6 years.

Level 2 marketable securities in the fair value hierarchy were based on quoted market prices to the extent available or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs to determine fair value. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the period.

The following table presents information about the Company’s marketable securities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the level of the fair value hierarchy used to determine such fair values:

  1. Commitments and contingencies

From time to time, the Company may become involved in routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. At each reporting date, the Company evaluates whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under the provisions of the authoritative guidance that addresses accounting for contingencies. The Company does not have contingency reserves established for any litigation liabilities and any of the costs related to such legal proceedings are expensed as incurred.

The Company may enter into certain agreements with strategic partners in the ordinary course of operations that may include investments in collaborative arrangements, contractual milestone payments related to the achievement of pre-specified research, development, regulatory and commercialization events and indemnification provisions, which are common in such agreements.

Pursuant to the agreements, the Company may be obligated to make research and development and regulatory milestone payments upon the occurrence of certain events and upon receipt of royalty payments in the low single-digits to mid-twenties based on certain net sales targets. Immaterial amounts were expensed during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 or June 30, 2025.
