Executive summary

• Strategic focus centers on autonomous-lab technology, consolidating R&D services onto a single platform and pursuing sales across biopharma, national labs, and universities.

• Nebula expanded to 105 racks and operates 24/7, supporting dozens of scientists and more than 100 protocol runs per day.

• Autonomous-lab projects were secured for MIT, Caltech, Northwestern, and the University of Maryland; the PNNL system is also being expanded.

• Restructuring-related cost reductions continued alongside investment in AI, robotics, software, and autonomous labs.

Financial highlights

• Q2 2026 revenue was $20.2M, down 48% YoY; H1 revenue was $39.6M, down 49% YoY. Declines reflected reduced scope with major customers and lower non-cash revenue.

• Cash-burn efficiency is expected to improve further in H2 2026 versus H1; R&D and G&A expenses are expected to remain stable or decline, while tools investment may lift R&D.
