Q2 2025 earnings summary6 Aug, 2025

Executive summary

  • Achieved net income of $2.5 million for Q2 2025, reversing a $19.8 million loss in Q2 2024, driven by $9.6 million deferred revenue after terminating the Qilu partnership and regaining global rights to imdusiran.

  • Streamlined operations with a 57% workforce reduction, exit from headquarters, and discontinuation of in-house research, incurring a $12.4 million restructuring charge in Q1 2025.

  • Expanded Scientific Advisory Board and made board changes, including the appointment of Dr. Roger Sawhney and Dr. Harry Janssen, and resignation of Anuj Hasija.

  • Ongoing patent litigation against Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech for LNP technology, with summary judgment and trial dates set for 2025-2026 and five international lawsuits filed in March 2025.

  • Focused on advancing clinical development of imdusiran (AB-729) and AB-101 for chronic hepatitis B, with positive Phase 2a data and ongoing Phase 1a/1b trial.

Financial highlights

  • Q2 2025 revenue rose to $10.7 million from $1.7 million in Q2 2024, mainly due to $9.6 million deferred revenue recognition from Qilu partnership termination.

  • Operating expenses dropped to $9.3 million in Q2 2025 from $23.3 million in Q2 2024, reflecting lower R&D and G&A costs.

  • Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaled $98.1 million as of June 30, 2025, with no outstanding debt.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
