OABIHIGH SIGNALFINANCIAL10-K

OABI experienced a significant revenue decline of nearly 30% while substantially reducing capital expenditures and R&D spending, suggesting potential operational challenges or strategic restructuring.

The substantial revenue drop combined with meaningfully reduced R&D investment may indicate either cyclical headwinds in the antibody platform licensing business or a strategic pivot toward profitability. However, the company expanded its partner base from 91 to 107 active partners with more active programs, suggesting the underlying platform remains in demand despite revenue softness.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

Revenue declined meaningfully by 29% to $18.7M while the company reduced operational investments, cutting R&D expenses by 13% and capital expenditures by approximately 70%. Accounts receivable grew 40% despite lower revenue, which could indicate timing issues or collection challenges, though total liabilities decreased modestly by 11%, suggesting some balance sheet improvement. The financial profile suggests either a challenging operating environment or deliberate cost management during a transition period.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT CHANGES
Capital Expenditure
Cash Flow
-69.9%
$1.9M$565K

Capex reduced 69.9% — investment cycle winding down or capital discipline; may improve near-term free cash flow.

Accounts Receivable
Balance Sheet
+40.2%
$5.3M$7.4M

Receivables surged 40.2% — revenue recognized but not yet collected; watch for collection issues or channel stuffing.

Revenue softened 29.3% — monitor whether this is cyclical or structural.

R&D Expense
P&L
-13.3%
$55.1M$47.8M

R&D spending cut 13.3% — could signal cost discipline or concerning reduction in innovation investment.

Total Liabilities

As of February 25, 2026, the registrant had 144,782,647 shares of common stock outstanding.
As of December 31, 2025, we had 107 active partners with 407 active programs using the OmniAb technology platform, including 27 OmniAb-derived antibodies in clinical development by our partners, two under regulatory review, and three approved products developed and commercialized by our partners.
OmniUltra is a versatile in vivo discovery platform that extends beyond traditional antibody modalities into the peptide space, enabling multiple therapeutic applications.
It generates naturally optimized human immune antibody repertoires featuring cow-inspired ultralong CDRH3 domains, unlocking novel binding modes and access to challenging targets.
OmniUltra also enables the isolation of picobodies , the smallest known natural antibody-derived binding domain (4-6 kDa), which are approximately one-third the size of a nanobody .
While there are several commercially available options when considering transgenic mice, OmniAb is the only platform that includes transgenic mouse, rat and chicken technologies, in addition to a cow antibody humanization technology.
Automated imaging and AI algorithms identify B cells with desired binding profiles, and a rapid laser-based recovery process efficiently retrieves B cells for sequencing and expression cloning.
By providing a full suite of antibody discovery technologies with streamlined economics, we believe we offer an attractive option to the industry.
We have 107 active partners as of December 31, 2025, consisting of pharmaceutical, biotechnology and academic organizations, varying in size, geography and therapeutic focus.
In 2025 we launched OmniUltra that extends our platform beyond traditional antibody modalities into the peptide space, enabling multiple therapeutic applications.

As of March 11, 2025, the registrant had 122,134,941 shares of common stock outstanding.
As of December 31, 2024, we had 91 active partners with 363 active programs using the OmniAb technology platform, including 28 OmniAb-derived antibodies in clinical development by our partners, one under regulatory review, and three approved products developed and commercialized by our partners.
Our cutting-edge technologies are modular, creating highly scalable solutions for antibody discovery.
Our antigen solutions team, guided by molecular modeling and protein design capabilities, oversees the cloning, expression, purification, reconstitution, and quality control of purified native-conformation membrane proteins for immunization and screening.
The various OmniAb novel animal-based technologies are depicted in the figure below.
While there are several commercially available options when considering transgenic mice, OmniAb is the only four-species platform, which include transgenic mouse, rat and chicken technologies, in addition to a cow antibody humanization technology.
Automated imaging and AI algorithms, empowered by the LandingLens TM platform developed by Landing AI, identify B cells with desired binding profiles, and a rapid laser-based recovery process efficiently retrieves B cells for sequencing and expression cloning.
5 Our license agreements with pharmaceutical and biotechnology partners generally include: (i) upfront or, in some instances, annual payments for technology access; (ii) payments for performance of research services; (iii) downstream payments in the form of preclinical, intellectual property, clinical, regulatory, and commercial milestones; and (iv) royalties on net sales of our partners products, if any.
By providing a full suite of antibody discovery technologies with streamlined economics, we believe we offer an attractive option to industry stakeholders.
6 Our partners active clinical programs include monoclonal and bispecific antibodies discovered using OmniRat, OmniMouse, OmniFlic, or OmniChicken and target a range of therapeutic indications including oncology, immunology, and metabolic disorders.
