OABIOABI

OmniAb ended 2025 with 32 clinical programs from its OmnidAb platform in human testing and anticipates multiple new entries in 2026, with $350 million in remaining milestone payments. The company holds over $3 billion in committed milestone payments across 407 active programs and cut Q4 operating expenses to $24.1 million.

1. Pipeline Expansion and Milestone Commitments

OmniAb ended 2025 with 32 active clinical programs from its OmnidAb single-domain platform in human testing and expects multiple new entries in 2026. Management reports $350 million in remaining contracted milestone payments for active programs and over $3 billion in total committed milestones across 407 programs, with an average 3.4% royalty rate.

2. Financial Results and Expense Management

Fourth-quarter 2025 revenue declined to $8.4 million from $10.8 million year-over-year, driven by lower license revenue, offset partially by increased milestone and royalty revenues. Operating expenses fell to $24.1 million from $26.7 million, reflecting lower personnel and service costs; net loss widened to $14.2 million, or $0.11 per share.

3. OmniUltra and xPloration Platform Launches

In mid-December, OmniAb launched OmniUltra, a transgenic chicken platform designed for ultra-long CDRH3 human antibodies, with three initial partner programs at launch and growing interest in picobody applications. Additionally, the xPloration Partner Access program deployed two instruments by year-end, offering in-lab single B-cell screening and potential software subscription revenue.

4. Partner Programs and Upcoming Catalysts

OmniAb added 84 new programs in 2025 despite 40 terminations, ending the year with 107 partners running 407 active programs. Near-term events include top-line data from Immunovant’s IMVT-1402 rheumatoid arthritis trial, two phase III batoclimab studies, and milestone-triggering results from Teva and Merck KGaA collaborations.
