**Absci Reports Business Updates and First Quarter 2026 Financial and Operating Results**

*Successfully dosed all four planned healthy volunteer SAD cohorts of ongoing ABS-201™ HEADLINE trial; well-tolerated with favorable emerging safety data*

*Preliminary pharmacokinetic (PK) modeling from HEADLINE trial supports ABS-201's targeted dosing interval*

*Initiated dosing of first MAD cohort of AGA participants of ongoing ABS-201™ HEADLINE trial*

*Expanding prolactin program portfolio with addition of ABS-202 to internal pipeline*

**VANCOUVER, Wash. and NEW YORK, May 7, 2026** – Absci Corporation (Nasdaq: ABSI), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company advancing breakthrough therapeutics designed with generative AI, today reported financial and operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

"2026 is going to be a data-rich year for Absci with multiple readouts ahead," said Sean McClain, Founder and CEO. "ABS-201, our AI-designed long-acting antibody against the prolactin receptor, has the potential to be the first new mechanism of action in androgenetic alopecia in nearly three decades, with a targeted dosing interval of just a few times a year. ABS-202, announced today, extends our prolactin work into a third therapeutic area. We're combining *Origin* with the prolactin biology we've built to go after a target that has been overlooked."

**Recent Highlights** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•* Successfully dosed all four planned healthy volunteer single ascending dose (SAD) cohorts of ongoing Phase 1/2a HEADLINE trial. To date, ABS-201 continues to be well tolerated, with favorable emerging safety data. Additionally, preliminary PK modeling from the company's ongoing clinical trial supports ABS-201's targeted dosing interval of two or three injections over a six-month period. Absci has also initiated dosing of the first multiple ascending dose (MAD) cohort of AGA participants. Absci anticipates reporting preliminary safety, tolerability, and PK data in the second quarter of 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Expanded internal program pipeline with addition of ABS-202, a second novel anti-PRLR antibody currently in preclinical development for an undisclosed indication in inflammation and immunology (I&I).

------

**Exhibit 99.1**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Launched endometriosis clinical advisory board for ABS-201 program, consisting of endometriosis and clinical development experts with backgrounds from renowned institutions including the Yale University School of Medicine, Duke University School of Medicine, UCSF, and the Mayo Clinic.

**Prolactin (PRL) Program Portfolio**

Absci is leveraging its leadership in prolactin biology to expand its pipeline of programs centered on prolactin and the prolactin receptor (PRLR). This growing portfolio currently includes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **ABS-201 for Androgenetic Alopecia:** ABS-201, currently undergoing Phase 1/2a studies, is being developed for androgenetic alopecia (AGA), commonly known as male and female pattern hair loss. Absci believes that ABS-201, if successfully developed and approved, could provide a significant new category of AGA treatment that offers potentially durable hair growth with a convenient administration profile. Today, Absci announced that it has successfully dosed all four planned healthy volunteer single ascending dose (SAD) cohorts of the ongoing Phase 1/2a HEADLINE trial. To date, ABS-201 continues to be well tolerated, with favorable emerging safety data. Additionally, preliminary PK modeling from the company's ongoing clinical trial supports ABS-201's targeted dosing interval of two or three injections over a six-month period. Absci has also initiated dosing of the first multiple ascending dose (MAD) cohort of AGA participants. Absci anticipates reporting preliminary safety, tolerability, and PK data in the second quarter of 2026, with interim proof-of-concept data in the second half of 2026 and full proof-of-concept data in early 2027.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **ABS-201 for Endometriosis:** Endometriosis is a condition that impacts a large, underserved patient population with significant unmet medical need and poor standard of care. Endometriosis is prevalent in up to 10% of women worldwide, including an estimated 9 million women in the U.S., and there is currently no FDA-approved disease-modifying therapy. ABS-201 for endometriosis represents a novel non-sex steroid hormone mechanism, with potential to be disease-modifying, act on both pain and lesion growth, and offer an improved safety profile. Absci anticipates initiation of a Phase 2 clinical trial for endometriosis in the fourth quarter of 2026, with potential proof-of-concept data in the second half of 2027.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **ABS-202 for Undisclosed I&I Indication:** Today, Absci announced the addition of ABS-202 to its portfolio of internal pipeline programs. ABS-202 is an anti-PRLR antibody in preclinical development for an undisclosed I&I indication.

**Exhibit 99.1**

**Other Internal Pipeline and Partnered Programs**

Absci continues to advance partnering discussions for other internal programs at various stages of preclinical and clinical development. Absci also continues to advance its ongoing drug creation partnered programs and anticipates signing one or more partnerships, including with a Large Pharma company, in 2026.

**First Quarter 2026 Financial Results**

Revenue was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Research and development expenses were $19.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $16.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase was primarily driven by advancement of Absci's internal programs, including direct costs associated with external preclinical and clinical development of ABS-201.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $9.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $9.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This decrease was primarily due to a reduction in personnel-related costs.

Net loss was $29.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $26.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

------

**Exhibit 99.1**

Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities as of March 31, 2026 were $125.7 million, compared to $144.3 million as of December 31, 2025.

Based on the company's current projections, Absci believes its cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund its operating plans into the first half of 2028.

COPYRIGHT© 2026 ABSCI CORPORATION \| ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 45 No natural or synthetic antibody for HIV exists today because immune system cannot derive an antibody that is universally neutralizing against HIV Design challenge: create universally neutralizing HIV antibody by binding unique and conserved epitope within "caldera" of open conformation of gp120 to prevent HIV from entering host cells Numerous attempts to target this epitope have failed-previous efforts have identified antibodies, but none bind the "caldera" and none are universally neutralizing.
