BioAge Labs Reports First Quarter 2025 Financial Results and Provides Business
Updates
RICHMOND, Calif.--BioAge Labs, Inc. ("BioAge", “the Company”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing therapeutic product candidates for metabolic diseases, such as obesity, by targeting the biology of human aging, today provided business updates and reported its first quarter 2025 financial results.
“The first quarter of 2025 was marked by strategic execution as we advanced our focused pipeline," said Kristen Fortney, Ph.D., CEO and co-founder of BioAge. "We've made significant progress with BGE-102, our brain-penetrant NLRP3 inhibitor, and are on track with IND-enabling studies to bring this potential best-in-class compound to the clinic this year, with initial Phase 1 data expected before year-end. Our new collaboration with Lilly expands our therapeutic capabilities into antibodies while validating our platform-driven approach to targeting the biology of aging. Meanwhile, both our novel APJ agonist program and our partnership with Novartis continue to make meaningful progress. With these scientific advancements and our strong financial position, we're well-positioned to deliver on our mission to leverage the biology of aging to develop transformative treatments for metabolic diseases."

First Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Research and development expenses were $11.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to $9.3 million for the same period in 2024. The $1.8 million increase in research and development expenses was primarily attributable to a $2.7 million increase in direct costs related to other programs as BioAge focused its research and development activities on IND-enabling activities for BGE-102.
General and administrative expenses were $6.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025,, compared to $3.5 million for the same period in 2024. The $3.3 million increase was primarily attributable to a $2.0 million increase in personnel-related expenses, which was largely attributable to increased stock-based compensation expense associated with option grants issued to employees, executives, board members and advisors. Additionally, contributing to the increase was a $0.5 million increase in legal fees, and a $0.4 million increase in taxes and insurance, primarily related to our public-company director and officer insurance policy.
Net loss was $12.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, or $0.36 per weighted-average common share outstanding, basic and diluted, compared to a net loss of $13.0 million, or $7.76 per weighted-average common share outstanding, basic and diluted, for the same period in 2024.
As of March 31, 2025, BioAge had approximately $335.1 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. Based on our current operating plan, BioAge estimates that existing cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund operations and capital expenses through 2029.
