AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$IPA #AI–IMMUNOPRECISE ANTIBODIES LTD. (the “Company” or “IPA”) (NASDAQ: IPA), an AI-driven biotherapeutic research and technology company, today reported financial results for the third quarter (“Q3”) of its 2025 fiscal year (“FY25”), which ended January 31, 2025.

“As we continue to revolutionize the AI-enabled drug discovery sector, our recent milestones underscore the growing recognition of our innovative AI and growth potential. Notably, we’ve secured a strategic partnership valued at $8-10 million USD with a leading biotech company, leveraging our proprietary B-cell Select technology and AI-driven capabilities to enhance our development and optimization processes. These AI-driven development and optimization capabilities are accelerating the advancement of novel therapies, positioning us at the forefront of innovation. Our collaborations with Vultr, AMD and other Leading Providers of Advanced GPU technologies further enhance our lab-in-a-loop drug discovery and development capabilities, not only driving cost-effectiveness for our pharma partners but also increasing our competitiveness in securing future collaborations. This strategic alignment is positively impacting both our top line and gross profit margins in the AI sector, as we continue to drive robust growth and expand our presence in the rapidly evolving AI healthcare landscape. We are excited about the potential of these current partnerships and looks forward to forming new collaborations that will further accelerate our mission to transform the future of healthcare through AI-driven innovation,” stated Dr. Jennifer Bath, President and CEO.

“While BioStrand’s AI revenue currently represents a modest portion of our total topline, it stands out for its remarkably high gross margins—exceeding 90% in recent quarters, a level of profitability that is truly exceptional in our industry. This positive dynamic reveals one of the most important yet underappreciated financial drivers of our business: as AI revenues scale, so does the path to profitability at an accelerated pace. Unlike traditional project-based services, IPA’s AI-driven offerings generate significant leverage and recurring value, creating a robust foundation for sustainable growth. This margin profile—combined with accelerating adoption—positions IPA’s AI segment as a powerful engine for long-term shareholder value and a key catalyst for our future success,” stated Joseph Scheffler, Interim CFO.

Third Quarter Corporate Update and Recent Business Highlights

• Entered into a USD $8M–$10M partnership with a USD $3 billion market cap global biotechnology company to co-develop Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs) and bispecific antibodies, reinforcing demand for IPA’s B-Cell and AI-powered platforms.
• Expanded AI infrastructure through strategic collaborations with Vultr, AMD and other leading providers of advanced GPU technologies enabling high-performance GPU computing for generative AI.
• Corporate headquarters relocated to Austin, Texas: Expanding IPA’s U.S. footprint in the heart of a thriving AI, biotech, and semiconductor ecosystem. This strategic move takes advantage of Texas’s zero corporate income tax, allowing us to reinvest savings in business expansion and innovation. Additionally, the state’s robust economy and skilled workforce will support our growth ambitions, positioning us for increased competitiveness and profitability in the rapidly evolving AI healthcare landscape.
• Resilience in Challenging Market Conditions: Our year-to-date revenue stability and high margin profile, including BioStrand’s 131.8% year-over-year revenue growth and 97% gross margin, underscore IPA’s solid financial position and ability to navigate difficult market conditions effectively.
• Announced key leadership changes, including the appointment of Joseph Scheffler as Interim CFO and Kamil Isaev to the Board of Directors, enhancing financial oversight and business strategy.
• Completed a USD $8.8 million At-the-Market (ATM) equity raise and announced the full conversion of the Yorkville debenture, strengthening IPA’s balance sheet and removing near-term convertible debt.
• Pioneered AI-designed GLP-1 therapeutics for diabetes and metabolic disorders, using unique nucleic acid-based delivery technology and the LENSai™ platform to enhance efficacy, safety, and patient compliance.
• Realigned pipeline strategy, launching a new AI-powered therapeutic development pipeline driven by first principles thinking and proprietary machine learning models.
• Revealed multiple ADC lead candidates with demonstrated tumor-killing capabilities, potentially positioning IPA in the high-growth $20B antibody-drug conjugate market.

Third Quarter FY25 Financial Results
