ANAPTYSBIO, INC (ANAB)·Q2 2025 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Collaboration revenue of $22.3M and diluted EPS of -$1.34 for Q2 2025; results driven by higher Jemperli royalties and $9.7M revenue recognized from the Vanda license agreement .
- Results were above Wall Street consensus: revenue $22.3M vs $11.7M* and EPS -$1.34 vs -$1.58*; a clean beat on both top line and EPS with operating expenses down sequentially .
- Pipeline execution advanced: RA Phase 2b data updated (best-in-disease, JAK-like efficacy; durability off-drug), UC Phase 2 enrollment completed with top-line Week 12 data on track for Q4 2025, and ANB033 initial indication disclosed as celiac disease with Phase 1b cohort planned by Q4 2025 .
- Corporate catalysts: anticipated $75M milestone in 2025 upon Jemperli reaching $1B annual sales, stock repurchase progress (2.85M shares, $55.5M spent), and reiterated cash runway through year-end 2027 .

What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Rosnilimab RA Phase 2b update showed JAK-like efficacy and durable responses for at least 12–14 weeks off-drug, supporting extended dosing intervals (e.g., Q8W/Q12W) and a favorable safety/tolerability profile; “best-in-disease” narrative reinforced by KOL feedback .
- UC Phase 2 trial enrollment completed (N=136, ~50% advanced therapy experienced) with top-line Week 12 data on track for Q4 2025; blinded safety surveillance consistent with prior trials .
- CEO commentary: “Rosnilimab’s Phase 2b data in RA delivered a compelling safety and tolerability profile and JAK-like efficacy… durable for at least three months off-drug,” underscoring confidence in transformational potential .
What Went Wrong
- Non-cash interest expense from sale of future royalties increased significantly YoY, pressuring bottom line (Q2 2025: $19.606M vs $10.953M Q2 2024) despite higher collaboration revenues .
- Continued net losses (Q2 2025: -$38.6M; EPS -$1.34) driven by R&D spend across rosnilimab Phase 2 programs and Phase 1 trials for ANB033/ANB101, partially offset by license revenue .
- No Q2 2025 earnings call transcript available in our document catalog; qualitative call themes substituted from the June 3 RA data update call transcript .

Management Commentary
- CEO (Daniel Faga): “Rosnilimab’s Phase 2b data in RA delivered a compelling safety and tolerability profile and JAK-like efficacy through six months that is durable for at least three months off-drug… We look forward to reading out top-line [UC] data… in Q4 2025” .
- CMO (Paul Lizzul): “Rosnilimab patients… improved on the Pain VAS from a mean baseline of ~65 to ~15… HAQ-DI… reduced by 0.9… CRP reductions… sustained through 28 weeks… off-drug durability data… highlight the uniqueness and differentiation of rosnilimab’s novel mechanism” .
- KOL (Paul Emery, MD): “It is… the best that’s been seen… speed of onset for a monoclonal that’s acting mainly through a cellular effect… producing responses which are as quick as the market leaders” .
Q&A Highlights
- Dosing strategy and maintenance: Management indicated monthly dosing appears viable for Phase 3 with potential extended dosing (Q8W) supported by off-drug durability; high and mid doses showed superior translational impact without dose-dependent safety signals .
- Safety profile: No treatment-related SAEs; opportunistic infections low; liver enzyme elevations were isolated, normalized, and did not prompt discontinuations .
- Phase 3 design: KOLs suggested allowing crossover and longer assessment windows to capture later LDA achievers; avoiding early continuation gates that cap response rates .
- UC program details: Two active induction doses (monthly and twice-monthly), with high dose above RA high dose; exploring Q8W in TEP for months 6–12; surveillance shows no serious safety signals .
- Competitive context: Management distinguished rosnilimab’s cellular MoA and translational depth from other PD-1 approaches; noted limited UC data disclosures from peers and manufacturing challenges elsewhere .
Estimates Context
- Q2 2025 revenue beat: $22.3M vs $11.7M* consensus .
- Q2 2025 EPS beat: -$1.34 vs -$1.58* consensus .
- Estimate counts: EPS estimates (8*), revenue estimates (11*) indicate reasonable coverage; results likely prompt upward revisions to near-term collaboration revenue assumptions and modest improvement in EPS trajectory given OpEx discipline .

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Rosnilimab’s RA profile is increasingly de-risked: JAK-like efficacy, strong patient-reported outcomes, and off-drug durability position it well for Phase 3 and commercial differentiation; expect data presentation catalysts ahead .
- Near-term binary: UC Phase 2 top-line Week 12 data in Q4 2025 is the primary catalyst; favorable blinded safety to date supports risk-adjusted probability .
- Financial optionality: Strong Jemperli sales momentum and anticipated $75M milestone in 2025 provide non-dilutive capital; runway through 2027 and buyback execution support shareholder returns .
- P&L dynamics: Non-cash interest expense tied to royalty monetization is a recurring headwind; monitor collaboration revenue mix (Jemperli royalties vs. license recognition) and OpEx trajectory to gauge EPS path .
- Positioning: If UC data confirm RA durability themes, maintenance dosing advantage could broaden competitive moat; watch for Phase 3 design clarity, dosing selection, and potential BD partnerships .
- Risk checks: Regulatory expectations on trial continuation criteria and long-term safety (e.g., CV/infections) will be key in Phase 3; early data remain favorable, but larger/longer studies needed .
- Trading lens: Q4 2025 UC readout is the main stock-mover; interim signals (R&D event, ANB033 Phase 1b initiation, Jemperli milestone confirmation) may create tradable setups .
