Schrödinger: Schrödinger 3Q26 Supplemental Slides

· Issued by Schrodinger, Inc.

Summary by 6ix AI

Schrödinger, a molecular design software and drug discovery company, reported total revenue of $64.5M for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026, up 19%, and a net loss of $37.7M versus $32.8M a year earlier. It raised its 2026 outlook for annual contract value (ACV, a software contract metric that is not revenue) to $222-$232M and for drug discovery revenue to $75-$85M.

Key details

  • ACV was $44.7M for the third quarter of 2026, up 17%, or up 24% excluding ACV from grant agreements.
  • For the third quarter of 2026, software revenue was $38.2M (versus $35.9M) and drug discovery revenue was $24.2M (versus $13.0M). Contribution revenue fell to $2.1M from $5.4M, primarily due to the completion of initial grant funding for its predictive toxicology initiative.
  • Schrödinger co-founded Tectora Therapeutics, which raised a $55M Series A with New Enterprise Associates (NEA) and RA Capital and is anchored by two immunology and inflammation programs originated by Schrödinger.
  • Cash and marketable securities were $373.4M as of September 30, 2026, versus $402.3M as of December 31, 2025.
  • Takeda's new drug application (a request to market a drug) for zasocitinib, a co-discovered molecule, was accepted by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under Priority Review, a faster review track.

What’s still pending

  • The 2026 ACV range of $222-$232M represents expected growth of 12-17% over 2025, and operating expenses are expected to be lower than in 2025; these are company expectations, not results.
  • Takeda's application for zasocitinib has been accepted for FDA review, not approved.

Schrödinger's Vision for the Future of Molecular Discovery

If all properties can be calculated with perfect accuracy, designing drugs/materials would have a much higher success rate, be much faster and cheaper, and would produce much higher-quality molecules.

Definitions

Annual Contract Value (ACV). Schrödinger tracks the ACV for each customer. With respect to contracts that have a duration of one year or less, or contracts of more than one year in duration that are billed annually, ACV is defined as the contract value billed during the applicable period. For contracts with a duration of more than one year that are billed upfront, ACV in each period represents the total billed contract value divided by the term. We present ACV as a supplemental operating metric because it provides a consistent measure of the underlying performance of our software business that is not affected by differences in revenue recognition timing across contract types, delivery models, or billing structures. ACV should be viewed independently of revenue and does not represent revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP on an annualized basis, as it is an operating metric that can be impacted by contract execution start and end dates and renewal rates. ACV is not intended to be a replacement for, or forecast of, revenue.

ACV by Cohorts. Schrödinger tracks ACV by certain industries and customer cohorts. These cohorts include: Industry cohorts:

  • Top 20 pharma. This cohort consists of the top 20 pharmaceutical companies, as measured by their 2024 revenue, which purchase our computational software solutions for drug discovery.

  • Rest of life sciences. This cohort includes customers purchasing our computational software solutions for drug discovery, excluding the top 20 pharma cohort.

  • Materials science. This cohort includes customers purchasing our computational software solutions for materials design.

  • Contribution. This cohort includes customers from which Schrödinger derives contribution revenue, which for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, consisted solely of Gates Ventures, LLC and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Schrödinger presents this ACV separately because it relates to grant agreements accounted for as non-exchange contributions, rather than commercial software contracts.

    Customer cohorts:

  • Commercial. This cohort includes all of Schrödinger's customers purchasing our computational software solutions for commercial use, excluding government and academic institutions and customers from which Schrödinger'derives contribution revenue.

  • Government and academic. This cohort includes U.S. federal, state, local and international government entities, as well as universities, medical centers, and non-profit research institutions.

  • Contribution. This cohort includes customers from which Schrödinger'derives contribution revenue, which for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, consisted solely of Gates Ventures, LLC and the Gates Foundation. Schrödinger presents this ACV separately because it relates to

Ongoing programs eligible for royalties. Schrödinger tracks the aggregate number of collaborative and partnered programs for which the company is eligible to receive any amount of future royalties on sales, if any.

Numbers of collaborators since 2018. Schrödinger tracks the aggregate number of collaborators that the company has collaborated with, or partnered with, for drug discovery and drug development since 2018. The number of collaborators presented is a cumulative number and the company only includes those collaborations from which the company has derived revenue since January 1, 2018.
