The earnings call highlighted significant achievements, such as collaborations with AstraZeneca and Twist Bioscience, financial stability, and upcoming strategic events. However, it also noted increased R&D expenses, a delay in the ABS-301 program, and modest revenue figures. The positive elements slightly outweigh the negative aspects.
Company Guidance
During the Absci Q3 2024 earnings call, guidance was provided on multiple key metrics and strategic directions. The company reported a revenue of $1.7 million for the quarter, with research and development expenses increasing to $18 million, primarily due to IND-enabling studies for ABS-101. Selling, general, and administrative expenses slightly decreased to $9.3 million. Absci concluded the quarter with $127.1 million in cash and short-term investments, projecting a cash usage of approximately $75 million for the year, which is lower than previously expected. They anticipate initiating Phase I clinical studies for ABS-101 in the first half of 2025, with interim data expected in the latter half. Additionally, they plan to complete mode of action validation studies for ABS-301 within the first half of 2025. Absci is also pursuing further partnerships, expecting to sign with two more partners before the end of the year, following recent collaborations with Twist Bioscience and others. Their financial planning indicates that current resources will fund operations into the first half of 2027.
