Nautilus Biotechnology Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results
SEATTLE, WA, July 31, 2025 – 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 June 30, 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.
Net loss was $15.0 million for the second quarter of 2025, as compared to the net loss of $18.0 million for the corresponding prior year period.

Cash, cash equivalents, and investments were $179.5 million as of June 30, 2025.

and full commercial availability; the functionality and performance of Nautilus’ product platform, its potential impact on providing proteome or proteoform access, pharmaceutical development and drug discovery, expanding research horizons, and enabling scientific explorations and discovery; expectations regarding platform specifications required by potential customers and partners and the timeline for adoption of Nautilus’ platform by researchers; and the present and future capabilities and limitations of emerging proteomics technologies. These statements are based on numerous assumptions concerning the development of Nautilus’ products, target markets, and other current and emerging proteomics technologies, and involve substantial risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different from the information expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Risks and uncertainties that could materially affect the accuracy of Nautilus’ assumptions and its ability to achieve the forward-looking statements set forth in this press release include (without limitation) the following: Nautilus’ product platform is not yet commercially available and remains subject to significant scientific and technical development, which is inherently challenging and difficult to predict, particularly with respect to highly novel and complex products such as those being developed by Nautilus. Even if our development efforts are successful, our product platform will require substantial validation of its functionality and utility in life science research. In the course of Nautilus’ scientific and technical development and associated product validation and commercialization, we may experience material delays as a result of unanticipated events. We cannot provide any guarantee or assurance with respect to the outcome of our development, collaboration, and commercialization initiatives or with respect to their associated timelines.
