Absci Reports Business Updates and Second Quarter 2025 Financial and Operating Results

Strengthened balance sheet raising approximately $64 million in gross proceeds in July 2025; cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments now sufficient to fund operations into the first half of 2028

Expanded ongoing collaboration with Almirall, with election of a second target focused on dermatological indications

VANCOUVER, Wash. and NEW YORK, August 12, 2025 – Absci Corporation (Nasdaq: ABSI), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company advancing breakthrough therapeutics with generative AI, today reported financial and operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

“The past few months have been a period of strong execution for Absci, and we are positioned to build on this momentum,” said Sean McClain, Founder and CEO. “ABS-101 is advancing through clinical trials, ABS-201 is on track to enter the clinic early next year, and we recently announced a key milestone in our collaboration with Almirall. With a strengthened balance sheet and runway into the first half of 2028, we are well positioned to deliver on our mission.”

Recent Highlights

•Completed an underwritten public offering of common stock raising gross proceeds of approximately $50 million, and raised an additional approximately $14 million through Absci’s at-the-market facility in July 2025.

•Expanded ongoing AI Drug Discovery collaboration with Almirall with election of a second target focused on dermatological indications. The election follows the successful delivery of AI de novo designed, functional antibodies by Absci against a difficult-to-drug target — the first target nominated under the collaboration. The collaboration, originally announced in November 2023, combines Absci’s Integrated Drug Creation™ platform with Almirall’s dermatology expertise to accelerate the development of novel therapeutics for chronic and debilitating skin diseases. In addition to product royalties, Absci is eligible to receive up to approximately $650 million in upfront fees, R&D, and post-approval milestone payments across the two programs if all milestones are successfully completed.

Exhibit 99.1

•Continuing to advance all internal asset programs, with Phase 1 interim readout for ABS-101 (anti-TL1A) anticipated later this year and potential Phase 1/2a interim efficacy readout for ABS-201 (anti-PRLR) anticipated in the second half of 2026.

•Progressing on key initiatives in strategic collaboration with AMD, with objective of scaling Absci's AI Drug Creation platform using AMD Instinct™ accelerators and ROCm™ software. In January 2025, concurrent with this collaboration, AMD also made a $20 million strategic equity investment in Absci.

Internal Pipeline Updates, Anticipated Program Progress, and 2025 Outlook

•ABS-101 (potential best-in-class anti-TL1A antibody): The ongoing Phase 1 (ACTRN12625000212459p) randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, first-in-human study of single ascending doses of ABS-101 will evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) in healthy volunteers. The primary endpoint is safety and tolerability, with PK, PD, and immunogenicity serving as secondary endpoints. The Phase 1 interim data readout is expected in the second half of 2025.

•ABS-201 (potential best-in-class anti-PRLR antibody): ABS-201 is a potential best-in-class anti-PRLR antibody in development for androgenetic alopecia, an indication with significant unmet clinical need and a large potential patient population of approximately 80 million individuals in the U.S. alone. Absci has nominated a development candidate with a preclinical profile suggesting high affinity and potency, favorable safety and immunogenicity, extended half life for convenient infrequent dosing, and excellent developability and manufacturability. ABS-201 has the potential to offer a more efficacious, convenient, durable, and safe option as compared to current standard of care. Absci anticipates initiation of a Phase 1/2a clinical trial for ABS-201 in early 2026, with potential for an interim efficacy readout in the second half of 2026.

•ABS-301 (potential first-in-class antibody for undisclosed immuno-oncology target): ABS-301 is a fully human antibody designed to bind to a novel target discovered through Absci's Reverse Immunology platform. Absci has presented data for this program showing that expression of ABS-301’s target suggests broad potential in squamous cell carcinomas and beyond. For this program, Absci has optimized an antibody lead with high affinity and potency, and has successfully completed the first in vivo target validation study. The findings from the study demonstrate that signaling through the pathway drives a potent anti-tumor response, providing strong rationale for advancing into in vivo efficacy studies with ABS-301. These results support continued preclinical development and further exploration of ABS-301’s therapeutic potential.

•ABS-501 (potential best-in-class novel AI-designed anti-HER2 antibody): For this program, Absci has identified antibody leads using its zero-shot de novo AI technology with the following

Exhibit 99.1

characteristics: novel epitope interactions, increased or equivalent affinity to trastuzumab in preclinical settings, efficacious against a trastuzumab-resistant xenograft tumor, and good developability.

•Drug Creation Partnerships: Absci continues to make further progress on its existing drug creation partnerships and anticipates signing one or more partnerships, including with a Large Pharma company, in 2025.

Absci continues to focus its investments and operations on advancing its internal pipeline of programs, alongside current and future partnered programs, while achieving ongoing platform improvements and operational efficiencies. In July 2025, Absci raised an additional approximately $64 million in gross proceeds from an underwritten public offering of common stock and strategic utilization of the company's at-the-market facility. Based on the company's current plans, Absci now believes its existing cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments will be sufficient to fund its operations into the first half of 2028.

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Revenue was $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Research and development expenses were $20.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $15.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily driven by advancement of Absci's internal programs, including direct costs associated with external preclinical and clinical development, and an increase in personnel costs and stock compensation expense.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $8.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $9.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in stock compensation expense.

Net loss was $30.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $24.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments as of June 30, 2025 were $117.5 million, compared to $134.0 million as of March 31, 2025. In July 2025, Absci raised an additional approximately $64 million in gross proceeds, including $50 million through an underwritten public offering of common stock, and approximately $14 million through the company’s at-the-market facility.

Webcast Information

Absci will host a conference call to discuss its second quarter 2025 business updates and financial and operating results on Tuesday, August 12, 2025 at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time / 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time.

The presence of TLS is associated with longer progression-free survival and better response to immune checkpoint inhibitors2,3. Rapidly growing evidence illustrates correlation between TLS-derived antibodies in the tumor microenvironment and positive clinical outcomes2. TLS-derived antibodies have been shown to be associated with apoptosis of cancer cells in patients2. Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are centers of immune activity, such as B-cell proliferation and antibody production, that develop in chronically inflamed tissues1. Antibodies from TLS are specialized for local antigens and play a significant role in the progression of chronic diseases and cancer, setting them apart from the general population of antibodies in the peripheral blood2. 100 75 50 25 10 15 20 0 0 5 High Ig Staining Low Ig Staining Pr og re ss io n- fr ee ( % ) Time (months) P= 0.019 Tertiary Lymphoid Structures (TLS): The focus of Absci’s Reverse Immunology approach T A R G E T D I S C O V E R Y 1 doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2018.01952 2 doi: 10.1016/j.immuni.2022.02.001 3 doi: 10.1038/s41586-019-1922-8
