Schr dinger Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Second Quarter Total Revenue of $54.8 Million, Software Revenue of $40.5 Million
Maintains Full Year 2025 Revenue Growth Guidance and Lowers Operating Expense Guidance
Company to Complete Phase 1 Data Package for SGR-1505 While Exploring Strategic Opportunities for Clinical Development
Initial Clinical Data for SGR-3515 and SGR-2921 Expected in Fourth Quarter of 2025
New York, August 6, 2025 - Schr dinger, Inc. (Nasdaq SDGR) today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.
In a highly dynamic macroenvironment, our ability to deliver solid second quarter results and maintain our 2025 revenue growth guidance is a testament to our strong customer relationships and the demand for proven computational technologies to accelerate molecular discovery," said Ramy Farid, Ph.D., chief executive officer of Schr dinger. "In addition to progressing several collaborative programs in our pipeline, we achieved an important milestone with the presentation of encouraging initial data for our MALT1 inhibitor, SGR-1505, and we expect to report initial data from our other two clinical programs in the fourth quarter."
Earlier this year, Schr dinger presented initial Phase 1 data for SGR-1505 in patients with relapsed refractory B-cell malignancies. SGR-1505 was observed to be well tolerated and clinically active with responses observed in multiple histologies, including in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and Waldenstr m macroglobulinemia.
"We are very pleased with the initial Phase 1 SGR-1505 data we presented last month at EHA and ICML. We are exploring strategic opportunities for SGR-1505 with the goals of accelerating the clinical development of this potential best-in-class molecule and maximizing benefit to patients globally," stated Karen Akinsanya, Ph.D., president, head of therapeutics R D and chief strategy officer, partnerships. "In parallel, we plan to complete the Phase 1 package and meet with the FDA later this year to discuss the recommended Phase 2 dose."
Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Total revenue for the second quarter increased 16% to $54.8 million, compared to $47.3 million in the second quarter of 2024.
Software revenue for the second quarter increased 15% to $40.5 million, compared to $35.4 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to increases in revenue recognized from hosted contracts and contribution revenue, partially offset by revenue from multi-year on-premise contracts signed in the prior year.
Drug discovery revenue was $14.2 million for the second quarter, compared to $11.9 million in the second quarter of 2024.
Software gross margin was 68% for the second quarter, compared to 80% in the second quarter of 2024, primarily reflecting the costs associated with the company's predictive toxicology initiative.
Operating expenses were $79.1 million for the second quarter, compared to $84.1 million for the second quarter of 2024. The decrease was due to lower R D expenses.
Other income was $10.0 million for the second quarter, which included changes in fair value of equity investments and interest income expense, compared to other expense of $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2024.
Net loss for the second quarter was $43.2 million, compared to $54.0 million in the second quarter of 2024.

Proprietary and Collaborative Pipeline
In June, Schr dinger presented encouraging initial Phase 1 clinical data for SGR-1505, the company's MALT1 inhibitor in patients with relapsed refractory B-cell malignancies. These data were presented at the European Hematology Association Annual Congress and International Conference on Malignant Lymphoma. Also in June, SGR-1505 received Fast Track Designation from the FDA for the treatment of adult patients with Waldenstr m macroglobulinemia that have failed at least two lines of therapy, including a Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor. Schr dinger is completing the Phase 1 package and expects to meet with the FDA later this year to discuss the recommended Phase 2 dose. The company is also exploring strategic opportunities to advance the development of SGR-1505.
Schr dinger is continuing to progress the Phase 1 clinical study of SGR-2921, the company's CDC7 inhibitor, in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Initial clinical data from this study are expected in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Schr dinger is continuing to progress the Phase 1 clinical study of SGR-3515, the company's Wee1 Myt1 co-inhibitor, in patients with advanced solid tumors. Initial clinical data from this study are expected in the fourth quarter of 2025.
In July, Schr dinger announced an expanded research collaboration with Ajax Therapeutics, a company co-founded by Schr dinger. The expansion adds a new Janus kinase (JAK) target to the collaboration. Under the terms of the amended collaboration agreement, Schr dinger is eligible to receive discovery and development milestones for the new target similar to the terms of the original collaboration agreement. Schr dinger is also eligible to receive sales milestones and single-digit royalties on net sales of any products emerging from the additional target.
Scientists at Schr dinger, Sanofi, Galapagos and UCB published an industry perspective on computational hit-finding in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry. The paper highlights how recent breakthroughs in computational power, AI, and expansive chemical libraries are reshaping virtual screening and hit identification, and emphasizes the importance of accurate physics-based methods, including Schr dinger's FEP+.
In May, the company completed a review of the organization and implemented several changes to improve its operating expense profile and reduce cash burn, including a reduction in force of approximately 7% of full-time employees, which is expected to reduce operating expenses by approximately $30 million on an annualized basis. Separately, Schr dinger announced the appointment of Richie Jain to chief financial officer, the addition of Mannix Aklian as chief commercial officer, global head of software sales and marketing, and the expansion of Karen Akinsanya's role to president, head of therapeutics R D and chief strategy officer, partnerships.

Non-GAAP Information
Included in this press release is certain financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). The company presents non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, which exclude gains and losses on equity investments, changes in fair value of equity investments, and income tax benefits and expenses. Adjusting net income to exclude the impact of these items results in a financial presentation for the company without the impact of our equity investments and tax benefits and expenses. Management believes non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share are useful measures for investors, taken in conjunction with the company's GAAP financial statements because they provide greater period-over-period comparability with respect to the company's operating performance, by excluding non-cash mark-to-market and other valuation adjustments for the company's equity investments, non-recurring cash distributions from the company's equity investments and the tax impact of these distributions that are not reflective of the ongoing operating performance of the business. However, the non-GAAP measures should be considered only in addition to, not
as a substitute for or as superior to, net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share or other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Other companies in Schr dinger's industry may calculate non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share to GAAP net income (loss) and GAAP net income (loss) per share, respectively, please refer to the tables at the end of this press release.
