Revenue
Abpro’s revenue primarily consists of research and development services, which increased by $0.2 million in 2024 compared to 2023 due to work performed for Celltrion related to the ABP-102 program. Collaboration revenue and royalties were $0 in 2024 after generating $0.1 million and $0.02 million, respectively, in 2023.
Operating Expenses
Research and development expenses decreased by $1.3 million in 2024, primarily due to a reduction in costs for the SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody program, partially offset by increased expenses for the ABP-102 program. General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.5 million, mainly due to the cancellation of accrued bonuses from prior years.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net increased significantly to $2.7 million in 2024, primarily due to the reversal of a $3.5 million liability to a research and development provider. This was partially offset by losses on the fair value changes of certain financial instruments.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
Abpro has financed its operations primarily through the sale of equity and debt, as well as proceeds from the merger and PIPE financing. As of December 31, 2024, the company had an accumulated deficit of $116.1 million and expects to incur operating losses in the foreseeable future. The company’s current cash and cash equivalents will be insufficient to fund operations for at least the next 12 months, raising substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Abpro is planning to raise additional capital through equity or debt financing to meet its operating needs.
Future Funding Requirements
Abpro expects its expenses to increase as it advances the preclinical and clinical development of its product candidates, particularly ABP-102 and ABP-201. The company will require significant additional funding to support its operations and development activities. Abpro may seek to raise capital through equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, or other arrangements, but there can be no assurance that any required future funding can be successfully completed on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to the company.
