•our expectations regarding the success, clinical advancement, and market acceptance of our internal pipeline of drug candidates, including expectations regarding the preliminary, topline, or early-stage clinical data for ABCL635, as well as our antibody discovery and development capabilities;

Current report

•our estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth may prove to be inaccurate, and even if these markets achieve the forecasted growth, our drug candidates may fail to achieve sufficient market acceptance or adoption;

Current report

In May 2026, we announced positive interim Phase 1 data for ABCL635. Treatment with ABCL635 achieved potent and sustained reduction in biomarkers of target engagement, demonstrated a favourable safety profile with all doses well-tolerated and no observed liver toxicity or serious adverse events, and pharmacokinetic data supports monthly dosing. The Phase 2 study is currently enrolling with topline data readout anticipated in Q3 2026.

Current report

•Successfully designing and executing clinical trials. Our long-term financial success is increasingly dependent on our ability to successfully transition drug candidates from our discovery platform through clinical development. The successful execution of our current and future clinical trials requires significant financial investment. We intend to allocate resources to the design and execution of these clinical trials, which represent a substantial and ongoing commitment of capital and personnel. Our ability to generate future value from these programs, whether through independent development or strategic out-licensing, will depend on the clinical data generated.

Current report

Partner-led programs with downstreams represent the number of unique partner-led programs where we stand to participate financially in downstream success. Included are programs (i) for which we have commenced the discovery effort and (ii) which, to the best of our knowledge, our partners are progressing towards drug approval on the reporting date.

Current report

We view this metric as an indication of our near- and mid-term potential revenue from milestone fees, potential royalty payments, or profits from sales of approved drugs in the long-term. For AbCellera-led programs, our knowledge of a program’s status is complete and our economic stake is large. Our visibility into partner-led programs stemming from our AbCellera platform is often limited and our economic stake small. Trianni-license programs afford us the least visibility and typically the smallest economic stake.

Current report

As noted in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 24, 2026, we updated our business metrics to better reflect the value and number of active programs currently in our portfolio. Previously reported business metrics "partner-initiated program starts with downstreams" and “molecules in the clinic” have been discontinued and we report on the number of partner-led programs with downstreams and molecules in the clinic with downstreams to better reflect the number of unique programs currently in our portfolio and to include only those where we may earn future revenues. We believe this updated metric provides a more accurate representation of our current commercial opportunities.

Current report

Research and development activities consist of investments in internal programs, partner discovery research, clinical trials, and capability enhancements. At any given time, we have a number of active preclinical, discovery, and clinical programs. Because our personnel and infrastructure are typically deployed across an extensive portfolio of programs simultaneously, we generally do not allocate personnel-related expenses (including stock-based compensation), facilities, and other shared overhead on a program-specific basis. Accordingly, we track, manage, and evaluate these internal costs on an aggregated, unallocated basis.

Current report

Total research and development expenses increased by $4.2 million, or 10%, from the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2026. Of the total increase, external clinical costs were $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to nil for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as ABCL575 and ABCL635 entered the clinic in the end of the second quarter of 2025. Preclinical and discovery costs decreased by $1.9 million period-over-period to $8.0 million, primarily driven by prior-period preclinical spend from ABCL635 and ABCL575 IND/CTA-enabling activities. Total compensation expense, including stock-based compensation, was $23.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and remained substantially unchanged compared to the prior period. Similarly, unallocated internal costs of $11.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 remained consistent period over period.

Current report

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by$1.5 million, or 28%, from the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2026. The increase was primarily due to the commencement of depreciation of our clinical manufacturing facility that was put in service in December 2025.

Previous report

Our deals with partners emphasize participation in the success and upside of future antibody therapeutic candidates. We structure our agreements in a way that is designed to align our partners’ economic interests with our own. Our partnership agreements include near-term payments for technology access, research and intellectual property rights, and downstream payments in the form of clinical and commercial milestones, and royalties on net sales. We also participate in alternative investment opportunities including equity in our business partners and various rights for deeper involvement in moving molecules forward. Longer-term, we are eligible to receive additional payments upon satisfaction of clinical and commercial milestones, which we refer to as milestone payments, as well as royalties on sales of approved products derived from antibodies that we discover for our partners. Our partnerships generally include royalty payments (or equivalents) on net sales. For discovery agreements, these are typically in the single-digit to low-double digit range. We believe that our internal programs, if successfully out-licensed, may generate substantial upfront payments and royalty positions on net sales in the high single-digits to high teens range, in addition to clinical and commercial milestones.

We have started a cumulative total of 103 partner-initiated programs with downstream participation and have seen a cumulative total 18 molecules advanced into the clinic, as illustrated by the following chart.

Previous report

•Rate and timing of selecting and initiating discovery projects by our partners. Once programs are secured under contract, partners must propose targets and agree on a detailed statement of work before we commence discovery research on any antibodies. The rate and timing of such selection and initiation differs from partner to partner. Research fees that we recognize under our partnerships depend on our delivery of antibodies for development by our partners and delays by our partners in selecting targets and agreeing on statements of work will impact revenue recognition.

Previous report

Research and development expenses increased by$14.1 million, or 34%, from the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025. Total compensation expense, inclusive of stock-based compensation, was$20.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to$21.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in compensation expense was consistent with an increase in research and development department headcount as the company continues forward integration and advancing its internal pipeline. Third-party research and development expenses were$8.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to$5.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 driven by the timing of work performed on our two AbCellera-led assets in the clinic. The Company also made specific investments in two internal programs totalling$15.0 millionin the three months ended September 30, 2025. Other research and development expenses related to facilities and supplies were$12.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to$13.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Changes in the quarter were due to the timing of preclinical, discovery, and other research program activities.

Previous report

Research and development expenses increased by $15.6 million, or 13%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Total compensation expense, inclusive of stock-based compensation, was $63.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $66.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in compensation expense was consistent with an increase in research and development department headcount as the company continues forward integration and advancing its internal pipeline. Third-party research and development expenses were $21.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $20.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 driven by the timing of work performed on our two AbCellera-led assets in the clinic. The Company also made specific investments in two internal programs totalling$15.0 millionin the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Other research and development expenses related to facilities and supplies were $36.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $35.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Changes in the period were due to the timing of preclinical, discovery, and other research program activities.

Previous report

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $0.2 million, or (7)%, from the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025, anddecreased by $0.9 million, or(9)%, from thenine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to thenine months ended September 30, 2025. Thedecrease in both periods was attributable to a reduction in total compensation expense and other expenses related to our business development activity.

Previous report

General and administrative expenses increased by $0.6 million, or 1%, from thenine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to thenine months ended September 30, 2025. Total compensation expense, inclusive of stock-based compensation, was $36.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $25.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in compensation expense is a result of our continued optimization of headcount and a reduction in the total fair value of equity awards granted in 2025. Legal, software, and other general administrative costs were $20.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $31.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to the defense of our intellectual property, partially offset by a reduction in software expenses.

Previous report

Depreciation, amortization, and impairment expense decreased by$31.7 million, or(86)%, from the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025 and decreased by$62.2 million, or (80)%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease is primarily attributable to impairment charges recognized in 2024 a result of the Company's ongoing internal program prioritization. In the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized a full impairment charge of the carrying value of $32.0 million (or $23.3 million, net of deferred income tax) associated with the IPR&D acquired through the 2020 acquisition of Trianni, due to discontinuing the development of next-generation transgenic mice. In the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company also recognized a full impairment charge of the carrying value of $32.0 million (or $23.3 million, net of deferred income tax) associated with the IPR&D acquired through the 2021 acquisition of TetraGenetics.

Previous report

Other income decreased by$19.9 million from the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $16.5 million gain recognized on the disposal of a non-marketable security in 2024. The decrease was partially offset by a foreign exchange gain in the period due to fluctuations in the Canadian and U.S. dollar exchange rate and other fair value adjustments.

Previous report

Other income decreased by$51.1 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Further to the intangible asset impairment discussion above, at June 30, 2024, the fair value of the contingent consideration was adjusted to reflect the expected value of the Company's ongoing internal program portfolio prioritization, resulting in a $32.4 million non-cash fair value gain primarily attributable to the decrease. The remaining decrease was primarily attributable to a $16.5 million gain recognized on the disposal of a non-marketable security in 2024, partially offset due to a foreign exchange gain in the period due to fluctuations in the Canadian and U.S. dollar exchange rate and other fair value adjustments.

During the second quarter of 2025, we achieved a critical regulatory milestone with the submission of Clinical Trial Applications (CTAs) to Health Canada for two of our therapies: ABCL635 and ABCL575. ABCL635 is being developed as a potential non-hormonal treatment for moderate-to-severe vasomotor symptoms (VMS; hot flashes) associated with menopause, while ABCL575 targets moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis with potential broader applications in inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. In May 2025, we received No Objection Letters from Health Canada, authorizing both CTAs. We have initiated dosing participants in Phase 1 clinical trials for both programs in Canada during the second half of 2025.

•Pursuing drug discovery and development opportunities internally. As our discovery and development capabilities have matured, we are increasingly in a position to pursue attractive, well-validated targets ourselves, e.g. in the GPCR, ion channel, and TCE spaces. Such programs have the potential to yield first-in-class drug candidates in indications with substantial unmet medical need which we would wholly own. We plan on investing significant resources in the preclinical and clinical development of internal programs which will impact our financial results. The investments in each program are undertaken at risk and may ultimately not yield a return.

•Successfully out-licensing drug candidates from our internal programs. We believe that our internal programs may result in drug candidates of interest to other drug developers with capabilities complimentary to our own. Where these capabilities can be expected to enhance the value of our drug candidate, we may seek to out-license. Successful out-licensing agreements could generate substantial up-front payments in addition to later milestone payments and royalties. Our financial performance may therefore be impacted by our ability to produce and out-license such drug candidates from our internal programs.

•Our partners successfully developing and commercializing the antibodies that we discover. We estimate that, based on the terms of our existing contracts and estimates of historical rates of success of antibody drug development, the vast majority of the potential value for each program is represented by potential future milestone payments and royalties rather than research fees. As a result, we believe our business and our future results of operations will be highly reliant on the degree to which our partners successfully develop and commercialize the antibodies that we discover based on contracts with our partners. As our partners continue to advance development of the antibodies that we have discovered, we expect to start receiving additional milestone payments and royalties if any partners commence commercial sales of such antibodies.

We believe that the following metrics are important to understand our current business. These metrics may change or may be substituted for additional or different metrics as our business develops as further described below with respect to changes in this and upcoming reports.

Previous wording

Partner-initiated program starts with downstreams represent the number of unique partner-initiated programs where we stand to participate financially in downstream success for which we have commenced the discovery effort. The discovery effort commences on the later of (i) the day on which we receive sufficient reagents to start discovery of antibodies against a target and (ii) the day on which the kick-off meeting for the program is held. We view this metric as an indication of the selection and initiation of projects by our partners and the resulting potential for near-term payments. Cumulatively, partner-initiated program starts with downstream participation indicate our total opportunities to earn downstream revenue from milestone fees and royalties (or royalty equivalents) in the mid- to long-term.

Current wording

The discovery effort commences on the later of (i) the day on which we receive sufficient reagents to start discovery of antibodies against a target and (ii) the day on which the kick-off meeting for the program is held. We exclude from the metric all programs where, based on our reasonable efforts to monitor program status, we have reason to believe that no further resources are being, or will be, invested by our partner to advance the program towards eventually producing a marketed drug.

Previous wording

Molecules in the clinic represent the count of unique molecules for which an Investigational New Drug, or IND, New Animal Drug, or equivalent under other regulatory regimes, application has reached “open” status or has otherwise been approved based on an antibody that was discovered either by us or by a partner using licensed AbCellera technology. Where the date of such application approval is not known to us, the date of the first public announcement of a clinical trial will be used for the purpose of this metric. We view this metric as an indication of our near- and mid-term potential revenue from milestone fees and potential royalty payments in the long-term.

Current wording

Molecules in the clinic with downstreams represent the count of unique molecules for (i) which an Investigational New Drug, or IND, New Animal Drug, or equivalent under other regulatory regimes, application has reached “open” status or has otherwise been approved based on an antibody that was discovered either by us or by a partner using licensed AbCellera technology and (ii) which, to the best of our knowledge, our partners are progressing towards drug approval on the reporting date. Where the date of such application approval is not known to us, the date of the first public announcement of a clinical trial will be used for the purpose of this metric. We determine whether a program is progressing towards drug approval based on the best information available to us at the reporting date.

Total compensation expense, inclusive of stock-based compensation, was $12.2 million for thethree months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $8.4 million for thethree months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in compensation expense is a result of our continued optimization of headcount and a reduction in the total fair value of equity awards granted in 2025. Legal, software, and other general administrative costs were $6.9 million for thethree months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $13.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025.

The decrease of $29.1 million since December 31, 2025, was primarily from a combination of cash flow used in operations due to our continued research and development activity for internal programs in discovery, preclinical, and clinical development as well as for partnered programs. This was partially offset by the first $18.0 million installment of a $36.0 million litigation settlement, with the remaining $18.0 million expected in the second quarter of 2026.

Previous wording

While we have generated positive operating cash flows in the past, we intend to significantly invest in our business, and as a result may continue to incur operating losses in future periods. We will continue to use our significant available liquidity from our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities to fund and invest in research and development efforts towards expanding our capabilities and expertise, execute and build our internal pipeline, and the expansion of our corporate headquarters, clinical manufacturing facility and related infrastructure, including optimization of long-term office-lease arrangements, including our intention to assign or fully sublease theoffice and laboratory space constructed through the Beedie JV.

Previous wording

In 2025, we are on track to complete our final large platform investments in our clinical manufacturing facility and our corporate headquarters. With the completion of these large platform investments, we expect a significant reduction in investing cash flows, shifting our capital allocation from building capabilities to using them as we execute our strategy of building on our pipeline of first-in-class and best-in-class medicines. Based on our current business plan, we believe that our available liquidity from existing cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, loan receivables, and government contributions, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs and do not anticipate the need of additional external funding over at least the next 36 months following the date of this report.

Current wording

We substantially completed our final large platform investments in our clinical manufacturing facility and our corporate headquarters in 2025. With the completion of these large platform investments, we expect a reduction in investing cash outflows, shifting our capital allocation from building capabilities to using them as we execute our strategy of building on our internal pipeline. Based on our current business plan, we believe that our available liquidity from existing cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, loan receivables, and government contributions, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditures over at least the next 36 months following the date of this report.
