MIAMI, May 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SAB BIO (Nasdaq: SABS), (“SAB BIO” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company with a novel immunotherapy platform that is developing human anti-thymocyte immunoglobulin (hIgG) for delaying the onset or progression of type 1 diabetes (T1D), today announced financial results for the quarter ending March 31, 2025, and reported on recent developments.

Samuel J. Reich, Chairman and CEO of SAB BIO, stated, “We have made strong progress this quarter on our corporate strategy and mission to deliver a transformational therapy that can halt or delay the progression of type 1 diabetes. Based on our recent positive Phase 1 topline data for SAB-142, we have seen accelerating momentum across the T1D landscape regarding the therapeutic potential of SAB-142.”

Recent Pipeline Developments

In April 2025, SAB BIO concluded patient dosing in the last cohort of the Phase 1 clinical study of SAB-142.

Corporate Updates from Q1 2025

FY 2024 budget initiatives are now contributing to cost savings focusing on improvements to the Company’s manufacturing processes for scaled-batch manufacturing. The Company anticipates these initiatives will contribute to continued efficiencies across the Company’s financial performance in 2025.
The Company has successfully obtained a Qualified Person (QP) declaration for SAB BIO’s in-house CMC manufacturing process for SAB-142. This milestone represents a key cGMP compliance achievement enabling SAB BIO to meet European manufacturing standards for an investigational medical drug product (IMPD) designated for upcoming clinical trials in the EU.

Q1 2025 Financial Results

SAB BIO held cash and equivalents of $12.9 million as of March 31, 2025, compared to $20.8 million as of December 31, 2024.
R&D expenses were $7.7 million and $8.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively. The modest decline resulted from the fluctuation of priority spending for the SAB-142 program, a disease-modifying human hIgG aimed at preventing onset or disease progression of T1D.
General and administrative expenses were $3.1 million and $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively. This decrease was driven by reduced payroll related costs and professional fees in order to prioritize the Company’s continued research activities and development of its product candidates.
Other income of $5.6 million and $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively. This decrease was primarily due to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities and reduced net interest income.
SAB BIO reported a net loss of $5.2 million and $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
