The primary engine behind the revenue acceleration was a dramatic expansion in licensing revenue, which climbed to $10.45 million from just $370,000 a year ago, signaling that partner programs are beginning to generate meaningful downstream returns. Net loss narrowed modestly to $34.73 million as total operating expenses fell to $66.67 million from $100.78 million, aided in part by sharply lower depreciation and impairment charges. Beyond the financials, the quarter marked a genuine operational shift, with AbCellera initiating dosing in a Phase 1 trial of ABCL635 for vasomotor symptoms and launching a second trial for ABCL575 in atopic dermatitis. The company enters the back half of 2025 with roughly $753 million in total available liquidity, and expects initial clinical data from ABCL635 in mid-2026.
Key Takeaways
- • Licensing revenue increased significantly to $10.4 million from $0.4 million in Q2 2024
- • Research fees grew to $6.6 million from $5.5 million year-over-year
- • R&D expenses decreased to $39.2 million from $40.9 million reflecting ongoing optimization
- • G&A expenses declined to $19.0 million from $20.2 million
- • Depreciation, amortization, and impairment charges dropped significantly to $5.5 million from $36.5 million

“In the second quarter we hit two critical milestones, receiving authorization to initiate Phase 1 studies for both ABCL635 and ABCL575. I am pleased to announce today that we have successfully begun dosing the first participants in the Phase 1 study of ABCL635. This is a landmark achievement for AbCellera, one that completes our transition to a clinical-stage biotechnology company.”
