Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth in other parts of this annual report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. As a result of many factors, including those factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in or implied by these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors. Please also see the section titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Overview
AbCellera is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on discovering and developing antibody-based medicines for indications with high unmet medical need. To maximize the value and impact of our work, we are advancing a pipeline of internal programs and strategically partnering with companies that have novel science, innovative technology, or a strong track record of bringing programs through clinical development.
We focus on the development of antibody drugs and are committed to improving discovery and development. We aim to build a competitive advantage in bringing antibody drugs from target into clinical testing by combining expertise, technologies, and infrastructure to build integrated capabilities for antibody drug discovery and development. We think deeply about capital allocation and strive to maximize long-term value while mitigating the risks that are inherent in drug development. We look for opportunities where we believe low-risk investments in building technology and operational efficiency can create a sustained competitive advantage and drive long-term value by making antibody drug development faster and more efficient.
We are leveraging our platform and to develop internal programs and advance a pipeline of AbCellera-led programs with first-in-class potential. We evaluate these programs individually to determine whether to pursue preclinical and clinical development in-house, enter into collaborations with partners, or out-license to optimize their development and clinical and commercial potential.
We expect to continue to make significant investments in this area for the foreseeable future and expect to continue to incur significant expenses in connection with our ongoing activities, including as we:
•invest in research and development activities to improve our antibody discovery and development capabilities;
•advance our internal programs in preclinical and clinical development;
•improve and enhance operations to deliver programs, including investments in manufacturing;
•acquire businesses or technologies to support the growth of our business;
•attract, hire and retain qualified personnel; and
•continue to establish, protect and defend our intellectual property and patent portfolio, including our ongoing litigation.
To date, we have financed our operations primarily from revenue from our antibody discovery partnerships in the form of royalty revenue, government funding from grants, and from the issuance and sale of convertible preferred shares and notes, and common shares. Additionally, we have twice secured significant government co-investments in the form of non-dilutive capital to help fund research and development, including internal programs, and facility construction.
During the second quarter of 2025, we achieved a critical regulatory milestone by submitting Clinical Trial Applications (CTAs) to Health Canada for two of our drug candidates: ABCL635 and ABCL575 as described herein. In May 2025, we received No Objection Letters from Health Canada, authorizing both CTAs. We initiated dosing participants in clinical trials for both programs in Canada during the second half of 2025.
The Phase 1/2 clinical trial of ABCL635 is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study in healthy men and postmenopausal women with or without VMS. Its purpose is to evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, as well as frequency and severity of VMS with subcutaneous doses of ABCL635, and data from this study is expected to be presented in Q3 2026. The Phase 1 clinical trial of ABCL575 is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study to assess safety and tolerability in healthy participants following subcutaneous doses of ABCL575.
We advanced a third program, ABCL688, into IND/CTA-enabling studies in the second quarter of 2025. ABCL688 is an antibody drug candidate for an undisclosed indication in autoimmunity and is the second program from our
83
GPCR and ion channel platform to advance into IND/CTA-enabling studies. We anticipate submission of an IND/CTA for ABCL688 in 2027. The programs align with the Company's strategy of building value, both through partnerships, and through internal discovery and development of potential first-in-class antibody drugs.
We have started a cumulative total 104 partner-initiated programs with downstream participation and have seen a cumulative total 19 molecules advanced into the clinic, as illustrated by the following chart.

Recent Developments
On January 12, 2026, we announced that the first patients had been dosed in the Phase 2 portion of our ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trial of ABCL635. The Phase 2 portion is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the efficacy of ABCL635 in reducing the frequency and severity of VMS in 80 postmenopausal women. With Phase 2 enrollment underway, we anticipate top-line clinical results for both phases in Q3 2026.
Key Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations and Future Performance
We believe that our financial performance has been, and will continue to be, primarily driven by the factors described below, each of which presents growth opportunities for our business. These factors also pose important challenges that we must successfully address to sustain our growth and improve our results of operations. Our ability to successfully address these challenges is subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors.
•Pursuing drug discovery and development opportunities internally.As our discovery and development capabilities have matured, we are increasingly in a position to pursue attractive, well-validated targets ourselves, e.g. in the GPCR, ion channel, and TCE spaces. Such programs have the potential to yield first-in-class drug candidates in indications with substantial unmet medical need which we can pursue internally. We plan on investing significant resources in the preclinical and clinical development of internal programs that
85
will impact our financial results. The investments in each program are undertaken at risk and may ultimately not yield a return.
•Successfully designing and executing clinical trials. Our long-term financial success is increasingly dependent on our ability to successfully transition drug candidates from our discovery platform through clinical development. The successful execution of our current and future clinical trials requires significant financial investment. We intend to allocate resources to the design and execution of these clinical trials, which represent a substantial and ongoing commitment of capital and personnel. Our ability to generate future value from these programs, whether through independent development or strategic out-licensing, will depend on the clinical data generated.
•Successfully out-licensing drug candidates from our internal programs. We believe that our internal programs may result in drug candidates of interest to other drug developers with capabilities complementary to our own. Where these capabilities can be expected to enhance the value of our drug candidate, we may seek to out-license. Successful out-licensing agreements could generate substantial upfront payments in addition to later milestone payments and royalties. Our financial performance may therefore be impacted by our ability to produce and out-license such drug candidates from our internal programs.
•Our partners successfully developing and commercializing the antibodies that we discover. We estimate that, based on the terms of our existing contracts and estimates of historical rates of success of antibody drug development, the vast majority of the potential value for each program is represented by potential future milestone payments and royalties rather than research fees. As a result, we believe our business and our future results of operations will be highly impacted by the degree to which our partners successfully develop and commercialize the antibodies that we have discovered based on contracts with our partners. As our partners continue to advance development of the antibodies that we have discovered, we expect to start receiving additional milestone payments and royalties if any partners commence commercial sales of such antibodies.
•Engaging with partners. Our potential to grow revenue, in both the near and long-term, is dependent on successfully engaging with partners. We seek to expand our relationships with existing partners also as a basis for potentially out-licensing some of our internal programs. Our teams are selective in determining which partners we choose to engage with, focusing on the opportunities with the strong potential to generate significant value in the long-term.
•Investing in enhancements to our discovery and development capabilities. Our ability to generate a pipeline of potential first-in-class internal programs and expand our partnerships is dependent on the strength and advantages of our discovery and development capabilities. We intend to maintain our leading position through selective investments in research and development to refine and add capabilities, including in manufacturing. We have also successfully executed and will continue to look for strategic technology acquisitions to improve, broaden and deepen our capabilities and expertise in antibody discovery and development, or those that offer opportunities to expand our business into adjacent therapeutic modalities. We intend to continue to devote resources to continue to improve our discovery differentiation which will impact our financial performance.
Business Metrics
We regularly review the following business metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions. We believe the following metrics are useful for understanding our business to date. These metrics may change or may be substituted for additional or different metrics as our business develops as further described below with respect to changes in this and upcoming reports.
Cumulative Metrics December 31, 2024 December 31, 2025 Change %
Partner-initiated program starts with downstreams 96 104 8 %
Molecules in the clinic 16 19 19 %
Partner-initiated program starts with downstreams represent the number of unique partner-initiated programs where we stand to participate financially in downstream success for which we have commenced the discovery effort. The discovery effort commences on the later of (i) the day on which we receive sufficient reagents to start discovery of antibodies against a target and (ii) the day on which the kick-off meeting for the program is held. We view this metric as an indicator of our partners' project selection and initiation and the resulting potential for near-term payments. Cumulatively, partner-initiated program starts with downstream participation indicate our total opportunities to earn downstream revenue from milestone fees and royalties (or royalty equivalents) in the mid- to long-term.
86
Molecules in the clinic represent the count of unique molecules for which an Investigational New Drug, or IND, New Animal Drug, or equivalent under other regulatory regimes, application has reached “open” status or has otherwise been approved based on an antibody that was discovered either by us or by a partner using licensed AbCellera technology. Where the date of such application approval is not known to us, the date of the first public announcement of a clinical trial will be used for the purpose of this metric. We view this metric as an indication of our near- and mid-term potential revenue from milestone fees and potential royalty payments in the long-term.
Discussion of Future Changes. We continue to focus our effort on our internal pipeline rather than program starts, and we expect to increasingly drive value from our pipeline of AbCellera-led programs. As such, December 31, 2025, will be the last time we report on partner-initiated program starts with downstreams, as continued discussion of the metric does not provide significant additional insight. We will continue to report on active partner-led programs in our portfolio, on the progress of our internal pipeline, and on molecules in the clinic on a quarterly basis.

Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
Our revenue comprises partnership research fees, development milestone payments, and licensing and royalty revenue. Research fees consist of technology access fees, which are generally generated upon execution of our partnership agreements, and discovery research fees. We are also entitled to payments upon the satisfaction of clinical, regulatory, and commercial milestones. Licensing and royalty revenue is derived from the transfer of intellectual property rights and the commercialization of our technology and molecules. This includes upfront payments for the grant of platform licenses, the sale of licensed research tools, and royalties earned on commercial sales of molecules or technology incorporating our IP.
We expect that our overall revenue will fluctuate from period to period due to the scope and timing of activities with current and potential future partners, the inherently uncertain nature of the timing of milestone achievement, our dependence on the program decisions of our partners, and uncertainty in sales of our antibodies by our partners that may generate royalty revenue.
In December, 2025, we entered into a settlement and patent license agreement with Bruker, resolving patent infringement claims previously asserted by us, resulting in a $36.0 million upfront payment as well as future royalty payments on sales of Bruker's Beacon® Optofluidic platform products worldwide through the life of the Bruker-licensed patents. We expect to receive future royalties under the agreement, but the amount and timing is unpredictable.
Operating Expenses
Research and development expenses.Research and development expenses primarily consist of salaries, benefits, incentive compensation, stock-based compensation, laboratory supplies and materials expenses for employees and third-party research and development expenses for discovery, preclinical and clinical development, and other research programs. These expenses are exclusive of depreciation, amortization, and impairment. Research and development activities consist of investments made in co-development and internal programs, discovery research for partners, clinical trial costs, and internal development of our discovery and development capabilities. We have not historically tracked our research and development expenses on a partner-by-partner basis or on a drug candidate-by-drug candidate basis.
As we advance our clinical programs, the estimation of accrued research and development expenses will become increasingly significant. While these accruals have not been material to our historical financial statements, we expect the magnitude and complexity of these estimates to increase as we scale our clinical operations. This process involves reviewing open contracts and purchase orders, communicating with our personnel to identify services that have been performed on our behalf, and estimating the level of service performed and the associated cost incurred for the service when we have not yet been invoiced. We make estimates of our accrued expenses as of each balance sheet date in our financial statements based on facts and circumstances known to us at that time. Examples of estimated accrued research and development expenses include fees paid to CROs and CDMOs in connection with clinical trials and the production of clinical trial materials. We base our expenses related to clinical trials on our estimates of the services received and efforts expended pursuant to quotes and contracts with our service providers that conduct and manage clinical trials on our behalf. The financial terms of these agreements are subject to negotiation, vary from contract to contract and may result in uneven payment flows and expense recognition.
We expect to continue to incur substantial research and development expenses as we grow and progress our internal pipeline, including through clinical trials, and conduct discovery research for our partners. In addition, we plan to continue to selectively invest in our discovery and development capabilities, including in manufacturing and continue research and development on our pipeline of internal programs. As a result, we expect our research and development expenses to continue to vary from period to period as we execute our strategy to build our pipeline of first-in-class drug candidates.
Sales, general, and administrative expenses.Sales, general, and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries, benefits, incentive compensation, stock-based compensation costs for employees in our executive, accounting and finance, office administration, legal, marketing, and human resources functions as well as professional services fees, such as consulting, audit, tax and legal fees, general corporate costs and allocated overhead expenses. We expect our core sales, general, and administrative expenses to remain consistent in the near term while we anticipate a decrease in total expenses driven by lower legal fees following the resolution of our patent litigation.
Depreciation, amortization, and impairment. Depreciation expense consists of the depreciation of property and equipment used actively in the business, including our manufacturing facility which was placed in service and began depreciating in the fourth quarter of 2025. Amortization expense and impairment includes the amortization of intangible
90
assets over their respective useful lives and impairment of IPR&D as further described in our notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Other (Income) Expense
Interest income. Interest income consists primarily of interest earned on cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities balances.
Grants and incentives. Grants and incentives include cost recovery on activities that qualified for approved projects supported by grant funding or tax credits. Grants primarily provide benefits from programs administered by the Canadian federal and provincial governments. To the extent that grant funding covers capital expenditures, a deferred credit is recorded on the balance sheet and recognized ratably over the benefit period of the related expenditure for which the grant was intended to compensate.
Tax credits primarily include benefits from the Canadian and Australian federal and local research and development programs and are non-refundable. Non-refundable tax credits are recognized as a reduction to income tax expense in the year they are earned. We expect to continue to benefit from these tax programs in the future.
Other.Other consists primarily of fair value adjustments of contingent considerations, marketable and non-marketable securities, and includes foreign exchange gains or losses due to fluctuations in exchange rates from the jurisdictions that we operate in against the U.S. dollar.
Results of Operations
The following information includes a comparison of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025. A comparison of the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, can be found in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2025 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2024 and 2025
Revenue
December 31, Change
Revenue:
Revenue increased by $46.3 million from the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase in revenue in 2025was primarily attributable to $10.8 million in licensing revenue
91
recognized and a $36.0 million payment as part of our settlement of patent litigation. See Note 3 of our consolidated financial statements for further details on the settlement.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development
December 31, Change
Research and development expenses increased by $19.6 million, or 12%, from the year ended December 31, 2024, to the year ended December 31, 2025. Total compensation expense, inclusive of stock-based compensation, was $82.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $89.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase in compensation expense was consistent with an increase in the size of our research and development teams as the company continues forward integration and advancing its internal pipeline. Third-party research and development expenses were $36.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $33.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 driven by the timing of work performed primarily on our lead clinical and preclinical pipeline. The Company also made specific investments in two internal programs totaling $21.0 millionin the year ended December 31, 2025. Other research and development expenses related to facilities and supplies were $48.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $42.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. Changes in the period were due to the timing of discovery, preclinical development, and other research program activities.
Sales, General, and Administrative
December 31, Change
Sales, general, and administrative expenses decreased by $2.3 million, or (3)%, from the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the year ended December 31, 2025. Total compensation expense, inclusive of stock-based compensation, was $59.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $42.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The decrease in compensation expense is a result of our continued workforce alignment to support operations as a clinical stage company, along with the impact of the composition of our equity award compensation recognized in 2025. Legal, software, and other general administrative costs were $24.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $39.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to the defense of our intellectual property in the Bruker litigation, which was settled in December 2025. The increase in legal fees in 2025 was partially offset by a reduction in software expenses.
Depreciation, Amortization, and Impairment
December 31, Change
Depreciation, amortization, and impairment expenses decreased by $68.7 million, or (76)%, from the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the year ended December 31, 2025. The decrease is primarily attributable to the 2024 recognition of a full impairment charge of the carrying value of $32.0 million (or $23.3 million, net of deferred income tax) associated with the IPR&D acquired through the 2020 acquisition of Trianni, due to discontinuing the development of the next-generation transgenic mice and a full impairment charge of the carrying value of $32.0 million (or $23.3 million, net of deferred income tax) associated with the IPR&D acquired through the 2021 acquisition of TetraGenetics. Both impairment charges were a result of the Company's ongoing internal program prioritization. The remaining variance in depreciation and amortization expense was driven by the mix of the useful lives of our assets, including our manufacturing facility which began depreciating in the fourth quarter of 2025.
92
Interest Income
December 31, Change
Interest income decreased by $10.1 million, or (26)%, from the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the year ended December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities balances, and interest yields in 2025.
Grants and Incentives
December 31, Change
Grants and incentives increased by $0.3 million, or 2%, from the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the year ended December 31, 2025. The amount was primarily driven by research and development expenditures eligible for reimbursement under government programs for the period.
Other (Income) Expense
December 31, Change
Other income decreased by $65.0 million, or 104%, from the year ended December 31, 2024, to other expenses of $2.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2025. Further to the TetraGenetics intangible asset impairment discussion above, in 2024, the TetraGenetics and Trianni contingent consideration was adjusted to reflect the expected value due to the impact from the Company's ongoing internal program prioritization and expected achievement of a milestone required for an earn-out payment associated with a specific license. The Company recorded a non-cash fair value gain of $47.3 million related to the contingent consideration adjustments in 2024. The remaining decrease was attributable to a $16.5 million recognized gain on the disposal of a non-marketable security in 2024, partially offset by a decrease in fair value adjustments, including marketable securities, and a foreign exchange loss due to fluctuations in the Canadian and U.S. dollar exchange rate.
Income Tax Recovery
December 31, Change
Income tax recovery decreased by $6.4 million, or (17)%, from the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2025. The income tax recovery in each period was primarily attributable to the carry back of current year tax losses to recover income taxes paid in prior years.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2025, we had $533.8 million of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, comprised $128.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and $405.3 million in marketable securities. The decrease of $91.8 million since December 31, 2024, was from a combination of cash flow used in operations due to our continued research and development activity for internal programs in discovery, preclinical, and clinical development as well as for partnered
93
programs, and investments in our corporate headquarters and clinical manufacturing facility, partially offset by government contributions, distributions received through our Dayhu joint venture, and repayment of the loan we previously made to our JV partner Dayhu in the year ended December 31, 2025. See Note 8 of our consolidated financial statements for further details on the distribution.
We intend to continue to significantly invest in our business, and as a result may continue to incur operating losses in future periods. We will continue to use our significant available liquidity from our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities to fund and invest in research and development efforts towards expanding our capabilities and expertise, grow and advance our internal pipeline. Simultaneously, we intend to optimize our long-term office-lease arrangements and intend to assign or fully sublease the office and laboratory space constructed through the Beedie JV.
In 2025, we substantially completed our final large platform investments in our clinical manufacturing facility and our corporate headquarters. With the completion of these large platform investments, we expect a reduction in investing cash outflows, shifting our capital allocation from building capabilities to using them as we execute our strategy of building on our internal pipeline. Based on our current business plan, we believe that our available liquidity from existing cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, loan receivables, and government contributions, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs and do not anticipate the need for additional external funding over at least the next 36 months following the date of this report.
Sources of Liquidity
Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily from revenue in the form of research fees, milestone payments, and royalty payments from partners, government grants, and debt and equity financings.
Government of Canada and Government of British Columbia Contributions
In 2020, we entered into a multi-year agreement with the Canadian government’s Strategic Response Fund (SRF), previously the Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF). Under this agreement, up to CAD $175.6 million ($125.6 million) was committed by the Government of Canada to support research and development efforts related to the discovery of antibodies to treat COVID-19, and to build technology and manufacturing infrastructure for antibody drugs against future pandemic threats. The Company has made the full investment and has received the maximum available funding under the agreement as of December 31, 2025.
In May of 2023, we entered into multi-year contribution agreements of CAD $300.0 million ($222.3 million), of which CAD $225.0 million ($166.7 million) is with the Government of Canada and CAD $75.0 million ($55.6 million) is with the Government of British Columbia. These investments are intended to build new capabilities in Canada to develop, manufacture, and deliver antibody medicines to patients through Phase 1 clinical trials and build expertise in translational science, technical operations, and clinical operations and research. From inception to December 31, 2025, the Company has incurred CAD $121.5 million ($88.5 million) and CAD $37.5 million ($27.8 million) in expenditures with respect of the funding from the Government of Canada and the Government of British Columbia, respectively.
Further information with respect to these contributions are outlined in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented:
December 31,
Net cash provided by (used in):
Effect of exchange rate fluctuations on cash and cash equivalents (2,617) 1,097
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents $ 23,005 $ (28,366)
94
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities increased from $108.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2024, to $131.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase in cash flows used in operations was attributable to research and development activity, program execution, and investment in partnered and internal programs in addition to working capital movements including a reduction in government contributions received in the year ended December 31, 2025.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities decreased from $121.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2024, to $87.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2025. The decrease in cash provided by investing activities in 2025 was primarily attributable to a reduction in grant funding received in the period, fewer proceeds from sale of marketable securities, and payment of specific program investments, partially offset by distributions from loan repayments by equity-accounted investees in the year ended December 31, 2025.
Financing Activities
For the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities was $12.8 million and was primarily due to proceeds from other long-term liabilities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $14.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and included primarily proceeds from other long-term liabilities, partially offset by a contingent consideration payment made in the second quarter of 2025.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Other than leases which are recognized as operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets, the Company has $12.2 million of commitments as of December 31, 2025 related to ongoing clinical trials with third-party organizations, contract research organizations, and internal manufacturing capabilities which the Company expects to incur within one year.
The commitment amounts are associated with contracts that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum services to be used, fixed, minimum or variable price provisions, and the approximate timing of the actions under the contracts.
Purchase and Other Obligations
In the normal course of business, we enter into contracts with third parties for research and development supplies and services. These contracts generally do not contain minimum purchase commitments and are cancellable contracts. These payments are not included in the total above as the amount and timing of such payments are not known as of December 31, 2025.
The Company may enter into certain agreements with partners in the ordinary course of operations that may include contractual milestone payments related to the achievement of pre-specified research, development, regulatory, and commercialization events and indemnification provisions, which are common in such agreements. Pursuant to the agreements, the Company may be obligated to make research and development and regulatory milestone payments upon the occurrence of certain events and upon receipt of royalty payments in the low single-digits to mid-twenties percent based on certain net sales targets. These future payments are not included above as they entail uncertainties in relation to the amount and timing of such payments as they are contingent upon future events, such as achieving certain commercial milestones or generating future drug sales.
Bruker Cellular Analysis Litigation
In December 2025, the Company entered into a settlement and patent license agreement with Bruker, resolving the patent litigation between the two companies globally. As part of the settlement, Bruker will pay AbCellera $36.0 million up front as well as future royalty payments on sales of Bruker's Beacon® Optofluidic platform products worldwide through the life of the Bruker licensed patents. See Item 3 “Legal Proceedings” for detailed information.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We have prepared our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable
95
under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could therefore differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 3 to our audited consolidated financial statements, we believe the following accounting policies and estimates to be critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Our revenue primarily consists of research fees, milestone payments and royalty revenue, which are generated through our performance of antibody discovery research for our partners, and licensing revenue, which we generated from our Trianni humanized rodent platform. Promised deliverables to our global partners include research and development and licenses. The Company applied ASC 606 to all arrangements to date.
We recognize revenue when we satisfy the performance obligations under the terms of a contract and control of our services is transferred to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive from our customers in exchange for those services. Where there is not a directly observable output to measure progress, an input which serves as a reasonable proxy for measuring progress is used.
When applying the revenue recognition criteria of ASC 606 to research fees and milestone payments, management may apply significant judgment when evaluating whether contractual obligations represent distinct performance obligations, including whether options for additional goods or services represent a material right; allocating the transaction price to performance obligations within a contract; estimating timing of completion of performance obligations; and assessing the recognition and possible future reversal of variable consideration.
Licensing and Royalty Revenue
For the licenses of our intellectual property the Company recognizes revenue from non-refundable, upfront fees when the license is transferred to the customer and the customer is able to use and benefit from the license. Royalty revenue is recognized in the period in which the obligation is satisfied and the corresponding sales by our partner or licensee occur. The sales are based on sales data reported by our partners and licensees. Differences between actual and estimated royalty revenue will be adjusted for in the period in which they become known, which is generally expected to be the following quarter.
Milestone Payments
At the inception of the arrangement and at each reporting date thereafter, we evaluate whether the associated event is considered probable of achievement and estimate the amount to be included in the transaction price using the most-likely-amount method. Whether the criteria for achieving the milestone payments will be met in the future is highly uncertain. Consequently, there is a significant risk that we may not earn all of the milestone payments from each of our arrangements. This uncertainty is considered resolved when the associated event giving rise to the milestone payment occurs.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
From previous acquisitions, Goodwill, License, Technology and In-Process Research and Development Intangible (“IPR&D”) intangible assets were recognized. IPR&D is classified as indefinite-lived, is not amortized, and is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis on October 1 or more frequently if an indicator of impairment is present. IPR&D becomes definite-lived upon the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. To test our IPR&D for impairment, the Company first performs a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the carrying amount of the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeds their fair value. If it is, a quantitative assessment is required. In 2024, a full impairment charge of the carrying value associated with our IPR&D assets was recognized due to our ongoing internal program prioritization, as further described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Goodwill is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis as of October 1, or more frequently if an indicator of impairment is present. We have one operating segment and reporting unit, therefore our review of goodwill impairment is performed at the entity-wide level. As part of the impairment evaluation, the Company may elect to perform an assessment of qualitative factors. If this qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit that includes the goodwill is less than its carrying value, then a quantitative impairment test would be prepared to compare this fair value to the carrying value and record an impairment charge if the carrying value exceeds the
96
fair value. As of October 1, 2025, the Company we performed a qualitative assessment for our annual impairment test of goodwill after concluding that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying value. Consequently, the quantitative impairment test was not required. The Company concluded that there were no impairment indicators related to goodwill during the remainder of 2025.
The nature of the biotechnology business is high-risk and requires that we invest significantly in research and development. As part of our ongoing planned research and development activities, significant adverse changes to our plans due to internal and external factors out of our control (including general and industry economic conditions, further prolonged decline in the market value of our common shares, and the success of our internal and partner-initiated programs) would increase the likelihood that we would record an impairment charge to our goodwill and/or intangible assets, which could materially and adversely affect our operations and the market value of our common shares.
Stock-Based Compensation
We measure stock-based compensation based on the grant-date fair value of the stock-based awards and recognize stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award. For non-employee awards, compensation expense is recognized as the services are provided, which is generally ratably over the vesting period.
Stock-based compensation expense is classified in our consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss based on the function to which the related services are provided. We recognize stock-based compensation expense for the portion of awards that have vested. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires inputs based on certain subjective assumptions, including the expected share price volatility, the expected term of the option, the risk-free interest rate for a period that approximates the expected term of the option, and our expected dividend yield.
With limited historical public trading data since our IPO, we determine the volatility for awards granted with reference to an analysis of publicly reported data for a group of preclinical, and clinical-stage biotechnology companies that issued options with substantially similar terms. We expect to continue to do so until we have adequate historical data regarding the volatility of the trading price of our common shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to government treasury yield curves in effect at the time of grant of the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. The expected term represents the period that the stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding. We use the simplified method to determine the expected term, which is based on the average of the time-to-vesting and the contractual life of the options. We have not paid, and do not anticipate paying, dividends on our common shares; therefore, the expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero.
See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding stock-based compensation expense and the assumptions we used in applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the estimated fair value of our stock options granted in the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024, and 2025.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 3 to our annual consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report for a description of recent accounting pronouncements applicable to our consolidated financial statements.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Interest Rate Risk
As of December 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $128.5 million, restricted cash of $26.7 million, and marketable securities of $405.3 million, a majority of which was held in high-credit-quality, liquid, held-for-trading marketable securities, term deposits, and bank accounts. Our interest rate risk is affected by changes in the general level of interest rates, particularly because the majority of our investments are short-term in nature. Due to the short-term duration of our cash and cash equivalent holdings and marketable securities and the low risk profile of the marketable securities, a 10% change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the fair market value of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities. We also have the ability to hold the marketable securities until maturity, and therefore, the Company would not expect the Company’s operating results or cash flows to be affected to any significant degree by the effect of a sudden change in market interest rates.
We are further exposed to the risk that our operating lease liability will vary as a result of changes in market interest rates. In order to manage funding needs or capital structure goals, the Company may enter into arrangements that are subject to either fixed market interest rates set at the time of issue or floating rates determined by ongoing market conditions. Debt subject to variable interest rates exposes the Company to variability in interest expense, while debt subject to fixed interest rates exposes the Company to variability in the fair value of debt. To manage interest rate exposure, the Company accesses various sources of financing and manages borrowings in line with debt ratings, liquidity needs, maturity schedule, and currency and interest rate profiles.
Foreign Currency Risk
We are exposed to financial risks as a result of exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar and the volatility of these rates. In the normal course of business, we earn revenue denominated in U.S. dollars and we incur expenses primarily in Canadian denominated, U.S. denominated, and Australian denominated dollars. Further, our government contributions and amounts repayable are in Canadian dollars. Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. We hold a majority of our cash in U.S. dollars. To date, we have not entered into any hedging arrangements with respect to foreign currency risk. As our international operations grow, we will continue to reassess our approach to manage our risk relating to fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
Inflation Risk
Inflation generally affects us by increasing our cost of labor, raw materials and supplies, and costs associated with the construction and purchases of equipment for our research and development facilities. We include assumptions of anticipated cost growth in the development of our cost of estimates, but if inflationary conditions, including the impact of potential trade tariffs in Canada and the U.S., continue over the long-term, our cost assumptions may not be sufficient to cover all cost escalation or may impact the availability of resources to execute on our operating goals on budget. If inflationary conditions continue to persist, our inability or failure to manage our costs could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. To the extent possible, we mitigate some inflation risk by negotiating longer-term agreements with our suppliers and contractors and utilize multiple sourcing options to diversify our supplier base, when possible.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), with assistance from other members of management, have reviewed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2025, and, based on their evaluation, have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting for the Company as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company’s CEO and CFO, overseen by the Company’s Board of Directors and implemented by the Company’s management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and the requirements of the SEC.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with policies and procedures may deteriorate.
Under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, we assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this assessment, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025.
Attestation Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, has been audited by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company completed implementation of its new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system in 2025. The new ERP system replaced our legacy consolidated financial accounting module and is designed to accurately maintain our financial records for reporting operating results. Additionally, it introduces new warehouse management and manufacturing modules to support new business processes in our clinical manufacturing facility. As a result of this implementation, we modified certain existing internal controls over financial reporting as well as implemented new controls and procedures related to new business processes. The changes in processes and controls under the new ERP system were considered in our evaluation of the operating effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.
Except for the implementation of the ERP system, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information.
During the three months ended December 31, 2025, none of the Company’s directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) adopted, terminated, or modified a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (as such terms are defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K).
Item 9C. Disclosure Regarding Foreign Jurisdictions that Prevent Inspections.
Not applicable.

INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm F-2
Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2024 and 2025 F-5
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements F-9
F-1
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of AbCellera Biologics Inc.
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of AbCellera Biologics Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 24, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Evaluation of revenue recognition for certain research and development services
As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizes revenue using output methods to measure the progress toward satisfaction of performance obligations that are satisfied over time. Where there is not a directly observable output to measure progress, an input which serves as a reasonable proxy for measuring progress is used. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized research fees of $27,208 thousand, of which a portion relates to partially satisfied performance obligations where an input was used to measure progress.
We identified the evaluation of revenue recognition for certain research and development services as a critical audit matter. The Company’s estimate of the amount of revenues to recognize for partially satisfied performance obligations, where an input was used to measure progress, involved significant estimation. Subjective auditor judgment was required to evaluate the Company’s estimate of the percentage of completion of such performance obligations, where they had been only partially satisfied by December 31, 2025.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of an internal control related to the Company’s estimate of the percentage of completion
F-2
of partially satisfied performance obligations. For a selection of partially satisfied performance obligations, we (1) read the associated contracts with customers to gain an understanding of the nature of the work to be performed and to evaluate the Company’s method for measuring progress, (2) tested the Company’s estimate of the percentage of completion by comparing the Company’s prior period estimates to current period actual results to assess the Company’s ability to estimate accurately, (3) inspected underlying documentation and compared them to the Company’s inputs and assumptions related to progress of work performed to date and the estimate of the remaining work required to satisfy the performance obligation, and (4) performed sensitivity analysis over the estimate of the percentage of completion to assess the impact on revenues recognized.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of AbCellera Biologics Inc.
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited AbCellera Biologics Inc. and subsidiaries’ (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of loss, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated February 24, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars except share and per share data)
1. Nature of operations
AbCellera Biologics Inc.’s (the “Company”) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on discovering and developing antibody medicines for indications with high unmet medical need. The Company aims to bring antibody drug candidates from target to clinic by combining expertise, technologies, and infrastructure for antibody drug discovery and development. The Company uses its capabilities to develop its own pipeline of future antibody drugs and has a diversified portfolio of royalty (and equivalent) stakes in future antibody drugs with partners.
2. Basis of presentation
These consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
All amounts expressed in these consolidated financial statements of the Company and the accompanying notes thereto are expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except for share and per share data and where otherwise indicated. References to “$” are to U.S. dollars and references to “C$” and “CAD” are to Canadian dollars. Certain immaterial prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported totals for assets, liabilities, shareholders’ equity, cash flows, or net loss.
3. Significant accounting policies
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIE”) when the Company possesses both (1) the power to direct the economically significant activities of the entity and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to that entity. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The Company entered into a participation agreement with a segregated accounts company for purposes of Director and Officer’s insurance. The Company contributed $25.0 million to the segregated account, representing the Company’s maximum loss exposure under the participation agreement, for security for a letter of credit issued to a third-party insurer. While the agreement is cancellable by the Company, the funds cannot be transferred to other parts of the Company, therefore the funds are presented in current assets on the consolidated balance sheets as Restricted Cash.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Areas of significant estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition including estimated timing of completion of performance obligations and determining whether an option for additional goods or services represents a material right, the impairment assessment of intangible assets and goodwill, and the estimates associated with stock-based compensation awards. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates when there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could significantly differ from those estimates.
Revenue recognition
The Company accounts for revenue from contracts with customers, which includes the identification and assessment of the goods and/or services promised within a contract to evaluate which promises are distinct from each other.
The terms of our arrangements generally include the payment of one or more of the following: (i) non-refundable, up-front fixed fees, (ii) fixed fees for ‘discovery’ research support, (iii) fixed technology assignment fees, (iv) fixed payments based on the achievement of specified development and/or commercial milestones, (v) royalties on net sales by
F-9
the customer of licensed drugs, and in some cases, (vi) early termination penalties, and (vii) reimbursements for costs incurred to fulfill the contract with the customer at cost or at cost plus an agreed upon mark-up.
Promises that are not distinct at contract inception are combined into a single performance obligation. An option to acquire additional goods and/or services is evaluated on both quantitative and qualitative aspects to determine if such an option provides a material right to the customer that it would not have received without entering into the contract. If so, the option is accounted for as a separate performance obligation. If not, the option is considered a marketing offer and is accounted for as a separate contract upon the customer’s election.
The transaction price generally includes fixed fees due at contract inception as well as fixed fees payable at the beginning and end of different phases of the discovery research support services performed. Where a fixed fee due at contract inception is an option to obtain additional goods or services and is considered to be a material right, we allocate the transaction price to the optional goods or services we expect to provide to the corresponding consideration we expect to receive. The Company utilizes either the expected value method or the most likely amount method to estimate the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price, as most appropriate in the circumstances. With respect to development and commercial milestone payments, at the inception of the arrangement, the Company evaluates whether the associated event is considered probable of achievement and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price using the most likely amount method. In determining the transaction price the Company constrains the transaction price for variable consideration to limit its inclusion so that it only includes the amount for which it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation identified in the contract based on relative observable standalone selling prices. Revenue is recognized based on the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to each respective performance obligation when or as the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised good and/or service to the customer. The Company generally uses output methods to measure the progress toward satisfaction of performance obligations that are satisfied over time. Where there is not a directly observable output to measure progress, an input which serves as a reasonable proxy for measuring progress is used. Due to different types of end customers and nature of work involved, revenue contracts require formal inspection and approval of experiments and research plans at each stage of work, therefore, the output method is the most faithful depiction of the Company’s performance.
Royalty revenue is recognized in the period in which the obligation is satisfied and the corresponding sales by our corporate partners occur. For the licenses of our intellectual property, the Company recognizes revenue from non-refundable, up-front fees when the license is transferred to the customer and the customer is able to use and benefit from the license. In December 2025, the Company entered into a settlement and patent license agreement with Bruker Corporation, resolving the patent litigation between the two companies globally. As part of the settlement, Bruker will pay AbCellera $36.0 million up front as well as future royalty payments on sales of Bruker's Beacon® Optofluidic platform products worldwide through the life of the Bruker licensed patents. The Company recognized $36.0 million in licensing and royalty revenue in our consolidated statements of loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 and a corresponding receivable recognized within accounts and accrued receivables in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025.
Collaborative arrangements
We may enter into collaborative and other similar arrangements with respect to the development and commercialization of potential drug candidates. Collaborative arrangements are contractual agreements with third parties that involve a joint operating activity, typically a research and/or commercialization effort, where both we and our partner are active participants in the activity and are exposed to the significant risks and rewards of the activity. Our rights and obligations under our collaborative arrangements vary and typically involve the partners to jointly perform research and development activities and/or participate together in commercializing, marketing, promoting, manufacturing and/or distributing a drug product. These arrangements typically include milestone as well as royalty or profit-share payments, contingent upon the occurrence of certain future events linked to the success of the asset in development, as well as expense reimbursements from or payments to the collaboration partner.
The Company considers the nature and contractual terms of arrangements and assesses whether an arrangement involves a joint operating activity pursuant to which the Company is an active participant and is exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on the commercial success of the activity as described under ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements (ASC 808). For arrangements determined to be within the scope of ASC 808 where a collaborative partner is not a customer for certain research and development activities, the Company accounts for payments received for the reimbursement of research and development costs as a contra-expense in the period such expenses are incurred. If payments from the collaborative partner to the Company represent consideration from a customer in exchange for distinct
F-10
goods and services provided, then the Company accounts for those payments within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606).
The Company applied ASC 606 to all collaborative arrangements to date.
Segmented and enterprise-wide information
The Company’s focus is on the discovery and development of antibody drugs, and manages its business as one reportable and operating segment. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise where separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (CODM) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews consolidated financial information on a company-wide basis for purposes of allocating resources and assessing financial performance. The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in Note 3.
The CODM uses consolidated net loss, as reported on the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, to evaluate the loss generated from segment assets in deciding the resources to be allocated towards the Company’s overall portfolio of downstream stakes and internal programs. Consolidated net loss is also used to monitor budget versus actual results in assessing performance of the Company and in establishing, in part, management compensation. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total assets.
In 2023, $36.0 million and $2.0 million of revenues originated from services performed in Canada and the U.S., respectively, and in 2024, $26.2 million and $2.7 million of revenues originated from services performed in Canada and the U.S., respectively. In 2025, $64.0 million and $11.1 million of revenues originated from services performed in Canada and the U.S., respectively.
Of the Company’s long-term assets at December 31, 2024, $505.1 million were located in Canada, $85.7 million in the U.S., and $18.4 million in other countries. Of the Company’s long-term assets at December 31, 2025, $532.1 million were located in Canada, $81.0 million in the U.S., and $15.6 million in other countries. In 2025, the Company's additions to property and equipment, contributions to joint ventures, and research and development expenses incurred in Canada were $36.6 million, $9.0 million, and $164.0 million, respectively, and nil, nil, and $22.8 million in foreign countries.
Government contributions
The Company receives government contributions that are comprised of non-repayable, conditionally repayable, and repayable portions which are dependent upon the Company’s co-investment expenditures over the term of the agreements, and are accounted for when it is probable that the grant will be received, and all associated conditions will be complied with.
Non-repayable and conditionally repayable portions, where the conditions for repayment are non-probable, are accounted for as government grants. Government grants for expenditures on eligible research, development and capital expenditures are recognized ratably over the benefit period of the related expenditure for which the grants are intended to compensate in grants and incentives in other income.
For repayable portions, the Company considers the contractual terms of the repayable portion of a below-market-rate government contribution, and has determined that the interest rate is affected by legal restrictions prescribed by a governmental agency. Therefore, the Company does not impute interest on the repayable portion of the government contribution, and it is measured equal to the proceeds received or accrued.
The determination of the amount of the claim and the corresponding receivable and liability amounts require management's judgement and interpretation of eligible expenditures and repayment conditions in accordance with the terms of the programs. The reimbursement claims submitted by the Company are subject to review by the relevant government agencies.
Functional currency
The reporting currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar, and for the Dayhu JV and Beedie JV, is the Canadian dollar.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at exchange rates at the date of the transactions. Period-end balances of monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency using the period-end foreign currency rates. Foreign currency gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
F-11
The functional currency of the Dayhu JV and Beedie JV, our equity method investments, is Canadian dollars and are translated into U.S. dollars using the period-end exchange rate for assets and liabilities and the average exchange rates during the period for revenues, expenses, gains and losses. Foreign exchange gains or losses arising from the translation of these joint ventures’ assets and liabilities are included in foreign currency translation adjustment in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash
Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand and deposits held with banks with maturity dates of less than three months. Cash and cash equivalents that are restricted as to withdrawal or usage, in accordance with specific commercial arrangements, are presented as restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2024, we had $127.1 million cash, $29.2 million cash equivalents and $27.3 million restricted cash. Of the total restricted cash at December 31, 2024, $25.0 million is presented as a current asset, $2.1 million is included within other current assets, and $0.2 million is included within other long-term assets on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2025, we had $99.3 million cash, $29.3 million cash equivalents, and $26.7 million restricted cash. Of the total restricted cash at December 31, 2025, $25.0 million is presented as a current asset, $1.5 million is included within other current assets, and $0.2 million is included within other long-term assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
Marketable securities
The Company’s marketable securities consist of U.S. government agency securities, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, corporate bonds, and asset-backed securities, as well as Canadian term deposits. The Company has classified and accounted for these marketable securities as held-for-trading and they are reported at fair value with $2.1 million, $0.8 million, and $0.8 million of unrealized fair value gains for the year ended December 31, 2023, 2024, and 2025, respectively, recorded as a component of other on the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
Non-marketable securities
Non-marketable securities not accounted for under the equity method are accounted for under the measurement alternative. Under the measurement alternative, the carrying value is measured at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. Non-marketable securities of $32.3 million at December 31, 2024 and $32.5 million at December 31, 2025 are included as part of other long-term assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Adjustments are determined primarily based on a market approach as of the transaction date. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024, and 2025, $1.8 million, $16.6 million, and $0.2 million fair value gains were recognized within other on the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, respectively. The fair value gain recognized in 2024 was due to the disposal of a non-marketable security.
Accounts receivable
The Company has trade receivables which are recorded at the invoiced amount. The Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable on a regular basis based on an economic assessment of market conditions and review of customer financial history. The expected credit loss provision recorded as of December 31, 2023, 2024, and 2025 was immaterial.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major additions and improvements to property and equipment are capitalized and repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Excluding land and assets not yet placed into service, property and equipment are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the property and equipment as follows:
Asset Rate
Building and building improvements 20-40 years
Equipment 3-10 years
Leasehold improvements are included within building and building improvements and are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life. Estimated useful lives are periodically assessed to determine if changes are appropriate. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost of these assets and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gains or losses are included in loss from
F-12
operations in the period of disposal. Costs for capital assets not yet placed into service are capitalized as construction-in-progress and depreciated once placed into service.
Intangible assets
Costs incurred to acquire patents and to prosecute and maintain intellectual property rights are expensed as incurred to sales, general, and administrative expense due to the uncertainty surrounding the drug development process and the uncertainty of future benefits. Patents and intellectual property acquired from third parties are capitalized and amortized over the remaining life of the patent, if related to approved drugs or if there are alternative future uses for the underlying technology. No patent or intellectual property costs have been capitalized to date. Acquired in process research and development (IPR&D) represents the fair value assigned to research and development assets that have not reached technological feasibility. IPR&D is classified as an indefinite-lived intangible asset and is not amortized. All research and development costs incurred subsequent to the acquisition of IPR&D are expensed as incurred.
Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Asset Useful Life
License 3-10 years
Technology 3-20 years
The Company reviews the useful life for the intangible assets on an annual basis considering the current facts and circumstances available and may change due to legal, regulatory or contractual provisions that may limit the useful life, the effects of obsolescence, competition and other relevant economic factors.
Impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill
The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization, for indicators of impairment on each reporting date. If events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, the Company measures recoverability by a comparison of the asset group's carrying amount to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset group. When quoted market prices are not available, the Company uses the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risks associated with the recovery of the asset group as an estimate of fair value. No indicators of impairment of long-lived assets were identified at the respective balance sheet dates.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested annually for impairment as of October 1, and between annual tests if indicators of potential impairment exist. The Company has the option of performing a qualitative assessment to first determine whether the quantitative impairment test is necessary. This involves an assessment of qualitative factors to determine the existence of events or circumstances that would indicate whether it is more likely than not that the carrying amount of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its fair value. If the qualitative assessment indicates it is not more likely than not that the carrying amount is less than its fair value, a quantitative impairment test is not required. Where a quantitative impairment test is required, the procedure is to compare the indefinite-lived intangible asset’s fair value with its carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognized as the difference between the indefinite-lived intangible asset’s carrying amount and its fair value.
Goodwill is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis as of October 1, or more frequently if an indicator of impairment is present. We have one operating segment and reporting unit, therefore our review of goodwill impairment is performed at the entity-wide level. As part of the impairment evaluation, the Company may elect to perform an assessment of qualitative factors. If this qualitative assessment indicates that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit that includes the goodwill is less than its carrying value, a quantitative impairment test is not required. Where a quantitative impairment test is required, the procedure is to compare the indefinite-lived intangible asset’s fair value with its carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognized as the difference between the indefinite-lived intangible asset’s carrying amount and its fair value. The Company further concluded there were no impairment indicators related to goodwill as at December 31, 2024 and 2025. As at December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2025, the goodwill balance was $47.8 million. There were no additions to goodwill in 2024 or 2025 and accumulated impairment as at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2025 was nil.
F-13
Leases
The lease term includes all periods covered by renewal and termination options where the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the renewal options or not to exercise the termination options. Corresponding right-of-use assets are recognized consisting of the lease liabilities, initial direct costs and any lease incentive payments. Lease liabilities are drawn down as lease payments are made and right-of-use assets are depreciated over the term of the lease. Operating lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, consisting of interest accrued on the lease liability and depreciation of the right-of-use asset. Lease payments are remeasured when a contingency upon which some or all of the variable lease payments to be paid over the remainder of the lease is resolved. Lease payments on short-term operating leases with lease terms twelve months or less are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has elected to not separate non-lease elements embedded in its lease agreements. For the years ended December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2025, all of our leases are classified as operating leases.
Research and development costs
Research and development costs are expensed in the period incurred. These costs are related to spending for internal program development and partner projects and include required materials, salaries and benefits including stock-based compensation, and third-party research and development service contracts. These costs exclude depreciation and amortization.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the deferred asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets (“DTAs”) and deferred tax liabilities (“DTLs”) for the expected future tax consequences of existing differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards for tax purposes. The DTAs and DTLs are computed using enacted tax rates and the effect of a change in enacted tax rates on DTAs and DTLs is recognized in income in the period of enactment.
The Company recognizes DTAs to the extent that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, all available positive and negative evidence is considered, including, but not limited to, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. Valuation allowances are established for certain deferred tax assets to reduce the DTA to a level which, more-likely-than-not, will be realized. Assets and liabilities are established for uncertain tax positions taken or positions expected to be taken in income tax returns when such positions, in the Company’s judgement, do not meet a more-likely-than-not threshold based on the technical merits of the positions. The Company realizes the largest amount of the tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.
The Company files consolidated federal income tax returns in the United States, which includes eligible subsidiaries. In addition, we file income tax returns in state, local and foreign jurisdictions as applicable. The Company's income tax provision is calculated and allocated under the separate return method.
Income tax credit (“ITC”) policy
The Company earns income tax credits in jurisdictions in which it incurs eligible research and development expenditures. The Company uses the flow-through method to account for ITCs. Under this method, the ITCs subject to income tax accounting are recognized as a reduction to income tax expense in the year they are earned.
Stock-based compensation
The Company accounts for awards of stock options and shares to directors, employees, consultants, and non-employees using the fair value method. Under this method, stock-based compensation expense is measured at the fair value at the date of grant and is expensed over the award’s vesting period. The requisite service period generally equals the vesting period of the awards.
Equity classified awards are measured using their grant date fair value. For equity classified awards, a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital is recorded when stock-based compensation is recognized. When stock options are exercised, share capital is credited by the sum of the consideration received and the related portion of the stock-based compensation previously recorded in additional paid-in capital. The effects of forfeitures of options and share awards are accounted for as they occur.
F-14
Equity method investments
The Company accounts for its investments in equity-accounted joint ventures using the equity method. Under the equity method, the initial cost of the investment is adjusted for subsequent additional investments and the Company’s proportionate share of earnings or losses and distributions, while distributions received from equity method investees are classified in the consolidated statements of cash flows using the nature of the distribution approach. The Company does not control the equity-accounted investments and as a result, the Company does not have the unilateral ability to determine whether cash generated by its equity-accounted investees is retained within the equity-investee or is distributed to the Company and other owners. In addition, equity-accounted investees do not control the timing of such distributions to the Company and other owners. The Company evaluates its investments in joint ventures for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such investments may have experienced an other-than-temporary decline in value below carrying value. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value, the carrying value is written down to its estimated fair value and the resulting impairment is recorded in other income in the Company’s consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
Net loss per share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss in the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net earnings per share is computed by dividing the net earnings in the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, including potential dilutive common shares. Potential dilutive common shares are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect. For purpose of this calculation, outstanding stock options and restricted share units (RSUs) are considered potential dilutive common shares.
Changes in significant accounting policies
Recent accounting pronouncements adopted
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires public entities to disclose specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation, as well as expanded disclosures on income taxes paid by jurisdictions and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. This standard has been applied prospectively for the year ended December 31, 2025, and enhances existing disclosures included in Note 13.
Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-03, Disclosures about Expenses. This ASU enhances the transparency of expense information presented in a company's financial statements by requiring disaggregation of certain expense categories and providing additional disclosures about the nature of these expenses. The amendments are effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03 on its financial statements. While the Company expects the adoption of this ASU could result in increased disclosures related to its expenses, it does not anticipate the amendments will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
4. Net loss per share
Basic and diluted net loss per share was calculated as follows:
Year Ended December 31,
Net loss per share - basic and diluted $ (0.51) $ (0.55) $ (0.49)
The Company’s potentially dilutive securities, which include stock options and restricted share units (“RSUs”), have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024, and 2025 as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share. Therefore, the weighted-average number of common shares
F-15
outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024, and 2025 used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share is the same.
The Company excluded 50,087,088, 58,251,724, and 70,922,117 potential common shares for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024, and 2025, respectively, from the computation of diluted net loss per share because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect.

As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2025, property and equipment includes leasehold improvements and construction in progress in the amount of $103.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively, and construction deposits of $14.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively, that have not commenced depreciation. The decrease in construction in progress as of December 31, 2025 reflects the completion of our manufacturing facility which is now ready for its intended use and resulted in a transfer of costs to building and improvements and equipment. Depreciation expense on property and equipment for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025 was $12.8 million, $12.5 million and $18.4 million, respectively.

F-16
For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a full impairment charge of the carrying value of $32.0 million (or $23.3 million, net of deferred income tax) associated with the IPR&D acquired through the 2021 acquisition of TetraGenetics and a full impairment charge of the carrying value of $32.0 million (or $23.3 million, net of deferred income tax) associated with the IPR&D acquired through the 2020 acquisition of Trianni. Details of a corresponding impact reducing the contingent consideration associated with the TetraGenetics acquisition are disclosed in Note 15.
The impairment charges were due to our ongoing internal program prioritization which also resulted in the discontinuance of the development of next-generation transgenic mice. Depreciation and amortization expense and impairment charges are reflected within depreciation, amortization, and impairment expense on the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
Amortization expense on intangible assets subject to amortization is estimated to be as follows for each of the next five years ended December 31:

Stock-based compensation
Seventh Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan:
We maintain the AbCellera Biologics Inc. Seventh Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan, our Pre-IPO Plan, which was approved by our board of directors on November 18, 2020. The Pre-IPO Plan allows for the grant of options
F-18
(and for U.S. participants, either incentive stock options and/or nonstatutory stock options) to employees, directors, and consultants, subject in each case to compliance with applicable tax laws.
Our 2020 Share option and Incentive Plan, or 2020 Plan, became effective on the date immediately prior to the date on which our initial S-1 registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on December 10, 2020. As a result, we do not expect to grant any additional awards under the Pre-IPO Plan following that date. Any awards granted under the Pre-IPO Plan will remain subject to the terms of our Pre-IPO Plan and applicable award agreements.
2020 Share Option and Incentive Plan:
Our 2020 Plan was approved by our board of directors on November 18, 2020, and approved by our shareholders on December 1, 2020, and became effective on the date immediately prior to the date on which our initial S-1 registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on December 10, 2020. The 2020 Plan replaced our Pre-IPO Plan, as our board of directors will not make additional awards under the Pre-IPO Plan.
The shares we issue under the 2020 Plan will be authorized but unissued shares or shares that we reacquire and typically vest over four years. The common shares underlying any awards that are forfeited, cancelled, held back upon exercise or settlement of an award to satisfy the exercise price or tax withholding, reacquired by us prior to vesting, satisfied without any issuance of shares, expire or are otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) under the 2020 Plan and the Pre-IPO Plan will be added back to the common shares available for issuance under the 2020 Plan.
The maximum aggregate number of common shares that may be issued as incentive share options may not exceed the Initial Limit cumulatively increased on January 1, 2022, and on each January 1 thereafter by the lesser of (i) the Annual Increase for such year or (ii) 21,280,000 common shares. As of December 31, 2025, the number of shares available for issuance under the 2020 Plan was 31,911,780 which includes awards granted and outstanding under the Pre-IPO Plan that are forfeited after December 10, 2020.
The following table summarizes the Company’s stock options granted under the Pre-IPO Plan:

Restricted Share Units
The Company grants Restricted Share Units (RSUs) to certain employees that vest over a period of four years, in the amount of one-quarter each year on the anniversary of the grant date and a contractual term of ten years. RSUs are equity-settled on each vesting date, subject to the grantee’s continued employment with the Company on the vesting date. The fair value of RSUs granted was calculated by using the Company’s closing stock price on the grant date.
The following table summarizes the Company’s RSUs granted under the 2020 Plan:
Number of Shares Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value
The intrinsic value of RSUs vested and settled during 2023, 2024, and 2025 was $8.0 million, $5.4 million, and $6.8 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, there was $27.7 million of unamortized RSU expense that will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years.
Stock-based compensation expense was classified in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss as follows:
Year ended December 31,
The fair value of each option award is determined on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted-average valuation assumptions for stock options granted in the period are as follows:
Year ended December 31,
Average risk-free interest rate1 3.73 % 3.94 % 4.41 %
Expected dividend yield4 0.0 % 0.0 % 0.0 %
Weighted average fair value of options granted5 $ 5.78 $ 3.42 $ 2.04
(1)This rate is from federal government marketable bonds for each option grant during the year, having a term that most closely resembles the expected term of the option.
(2)Volatility is a measure of the amount by which a financial variable such as a share price has fluctuated (historical volatility) or is expected to fluctuate (expected volatility) during a period. As the Company does not yet have sufficient history of its own volatility, the Company has identified several public entities of similar complexity and stage of development and calculates historical volatility using the volatility of these companies.
(3)This is the period of time that the options granted are expected to remain unexercised. Options granted have a maximum term of ten years. The Company uses the simplified method to calculate the average expected term, which represents the average of the vesting period and the contractual term.
(4)No dividends are expected to be paid by the Company.
