(NASDAQ: OABI) today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and provided operating and partner program updates.\n\n\n“Second quarter results were in-line with our expectations and support our view of the full year. We advanced our business by adding new partnerships and programs as existing partners made important clinical progress in their respective programs,” said Matt Foehr, Chief Executive Officer of OmniAb. “With recent momentum in business development, 2024 has the potential to be a record year in terms of deal flow, which we believe is driven by the quality and differentiation of our technology platforms and by the superior execution of our team.”\n\n\nSecond Quarter 2024 Financial Results\n\n\nRevenue for the second quarter of 2024 was $7.6 million, compared with $6.9 million for the same period in 2023, with the increase primarily due to the accelerated recognition of deferred service revenue related to the discontinuation of a GSK ion channel program.\n\n\nResearch and development expense was $13.9 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared with $14.1 million for the same period in 2023.
