Insights

Nautilus reports reduced Q2 losses while advancing its novel proteomics platform through scientific validation and research collaborations.

Nautilus Biotechnology's Q2 2025 financial results showcase a company making scientific progress while carefully managing resources. The company reported $17.1 million in operating expenses, representing a 18% decrease year-over-year, while net losses decreased from $18.0 million to $15.0 million. Their cash position remains strong at $179.5 million, providing a substantial runway for continued platform development.

Beyond the financials, the quarter marked significant technological milestones. The publication of the first scientific manuscript featuring data generated on their platform represents a crucial validation step for their Iterative Mapping method, which they claim can measure proteoforms at unprecedented resolution and breadth. This addresses a fundamental challenge in proteomics - the ability to detect and analyze protein variants with high precision.

The two new collaborations with research institutes focusing on Tau proteoform analysis in Alzheimer's disease contexts are particularly noteworthy. Tau proteins and their post-translational modifications play critical roles in neurodegenerative diseases, and improved analytical capabilities could accelerate biomarker discovery. These partnerships strategically position Nautilus in the high-value neurodegenerative disease research space while providing external validation of their technology's capabilities.

The reduction in operating expenses while maintaining research momentum suggests improved operational efficiency. The focus on cost optimization without apparently sacrificing development pace indicates prudent management in an environment where biotech investors increasingly demand capital efficiency alongside innovation.

SEATTLE, July 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nautilus Biotechnology, Inc. (NASDAQ: NAUT; or “Nautilus�), a company pioneering a single-molecule proteome analysis platform, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June30, 2025.

“In Q2, we achieved major milestones that underscore the continued advancement of our platform,� said Sujal Patel, CEO of Nautilus Biotechnology. “Not only did we continue our momentum across both targeted and broadscale proteomic development efforts, but we also publicly shared the first scientific manuscript to feature novel data generated using the Nautilus Platform. The manuscript represents nearly a decade of pioneering work by our team and collaborators. In it, we introduce and validate application of our Iterative Mapping method showing that it can measure proteoforms at a resolution and breadth never before possible.

“We have also signed two collaborations with major research institutes to utilize the Nautilus platform and Tau proteoform assay. Through studies of co-incident post-translational modifications on Tau across brain regions in human tissue and across models of Alzheimer's disease progression we aim to enable researchers to make fundamental advances in understanding disease-relevant biology. Together, these achievements represent both the demonstration and external recognition of the exceptional performance of our platform and mark a critical step toward enabling researchers to uncover proteomic insights that we believe will shape the future of biomarker and therapeutic discovery.�

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Operating expenses were $17.1 million for the second quarter of 2025, a 18% decrease compared to $20.8 million for the corresponding prior year period. The decrease in operating expense is attributable to continued focus on cost optimization, variability in the timing of research and development activities, and decreased salaries, related benefits, stock-based compensation, and professional services expenses.
