Recent Corporate Highlights:

• The Company’s LENS^ai™ platform demonstrated that it’s in silico epitope mapping achieves results on previously unseen antibody–antigen complexes with results that are on par with gold-standard X-ray crystallography—yet delivering structural insights in hours instead of weeks.
• An important breakthrough using the Company's HYFT®-powered LENS^ai platform, as it identified a highly conserved epitope across all four dengue virus serotypes, a key milestone toward developing a potential universal dengue vaccine. Subsequently announced in silico data supporting the vaccine candidate's safety and its ability to activate a balanced immune response.
• IPA’s AI-designed GLP-1 peptides outperformed or matched semaglutide in independent receptor activation studies, further validating the Company’s HYFT-driven LENS^ai platform.
• Entered a strategic USD $8–10 million partnership with a publicly traded biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of antibody-drug conjugates and bispecific antibodies for potential oncology therapeutics.
• Realigned internal R&D strategy to focus on launching an AI-powered therapeutic pipeline, reinforcing IPA’s shift toward a bio-native AI drug discovery model.
• ImmunoPrecise subsidiary signed material transfer agreement with Biotheus (now BioNTech), for the transfer and evaluation of antibody assets for bispecific tumor-targeting.
• Successfully engineered antibodies in silico to a challenging tumor target using LENS^ai, advancing IPA's vision for accessible, next-generation therapeutics.
• Appointed industry veteran Jon Lieber to its Board of Directors, bringing over 30 years of strategic leadership across biotech, capital markets, and public company governance, further strengthening IPA’s financial oversight and commercial execution.
• Named Jeff Fried, a recognized healthcare data visionary, to its Advisory Board. Fried has played a key role in advancing IPA’s AI platform capabilities, particularly the integration of vector search to support large-scale, AI-driven discovery within LENS^ai ecosystem.
• Regained compliance with Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement, reflecting strengthened investor confidence and continued alignment with strategic listing standards.

“Fiscal 2025 was a record-setting year for IPA across multiple dimensions,” said Dr. Jennifer Bath, ImmunoPrecise Antibodies CEO. “We delivered strong annual and record fourth quarter revenues, significantly improved gross margins, and achieved one of our strongest adjusted EBITDA performances in the Company’s history, with a loss of only $316,000. This reflects our continued progress toward profitability while accelerating innovation through our HYFT-powered LENS^ai platform. Our BioStrand segment alone grew by more than 180% in Fiscal 2025, highlighting the strength of our AI-driven pipeline. These results underscore the growing commercial validation of our technology, our strategic collaborations, and our ability to deliver real-world impact through next-generation antibody discovery and therapeutic design.”

“As we look ahead to the next fiscal year, we are well-positioned to build on our momentum. We are poised to refocus our business on AI-based product development utilizing our LENS^ai platform, powered by our patented HYFT technology. We anticipate the near-term completion of the previously announced divestiture of our Dutch subsidiary, as part of our continued focus on streamlining operations and aligning resources with strategic priorities. Together, these strategic steps will sharpen our focus, strengthen our core capabilities, and set the stage for an even brighter future for IPA,” concluded Dr. Bath.

Gross profit for the three months ended April 30, 2025, was $4.5 million, up from $3.1 million in the same period last year. Gross margin for FY25 rose sharply to 64%, compared to 48% for FY24. This improvement was driven, in part, by a greater contribution from high-margin BioStrand revenues.

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses totaled $1.1 million, down from $1.3 million in the prior-year quarter, due to reallocating project-related R&D efforts to cost of sales for clients.

Sales and marketing expenses increased to $1.0 million, compared to $0.9 million in the same period last year, due to an increase in digital campaign expenses.

General and administrative expenses declined to $3.7 million from $4.1 million, driven by ongoing cost control efforts.

Operating loss, excluding amortization and non-recurring charges, improved significantly to $1.4 million, compared to $3.2 million in the fourth quarter of Fiscal Year 2024.

Net loss narrowed to $2.2 million, a marked improvement from a net loss of $17.6 million in the same quarter last year, which included a $15 million non-cash impairment charge related to BioStrand’s goodwill and intangible assets.

Adjusted EBITDA loss improved to $0.3 million, compared to a loss of $1.7 million in the fourth quarter of Fiscal Year 2024, reflecting improved gross profits and enhanced operating efficiency.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable United States and Canadian securities laws. These statements reflect the Company’s expectations, plans, projections, and beliefs regarding future events or performance. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “believes,” “plans,” “potential,” “will,” “may,” “continue,” and variations thereof are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements in this release include, but are not limited to, statements related to the Company’s operational and financial outlook, the potential impact and continuity of strategic partnerships, including the recently announced commercial agreement and collaborations with cloud infrastructure providers, our projected growth in AI-driven revenues and margins, our ability to commercialize new technologies such as de novo antibody design and AI-designed GLP-1 therapeutics, future demand for our platform capabilities, ongoing strategic initiatives including business realignment and divestitures, and our ability to drive sustainable profitability.

The Company uses certain non-IFRS financial measures as supplemental indicators of its financial and operating performance. These non-IFRS financial measures are adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating expenses. The Company believes these supplementary financial measures reflect the Company’s ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful period-to-period comparisons and analysis of trends in its business. These non-IFRS measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as operating earnings before taxes, amortization, depreciation, accretion, asset impairment charges, foreign exchange gain/loss, interest and other income and share-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is presented on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal management reports. The Company discloses adjusted EBITDA to capture the profitability of its business before the impact of items not considered in management’s evaluation of operating unit performance. The most directly comparable IFRS measure to adjusted EBITDA is net loss.

These statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied. These include, but are not limited to: execution risks related to strategic partnerships, delays or failures in technology development or commercialization, market adoption of AI-based drug discovery tools, fluctuations in financial markets, general economic conditions, and risks related to funding requirements and liquidity.

The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. All such statements are made as of the date of this release and, unless required by law, the Company assumes no obligation to update or revise them to reflect new events or circumstances.

For a complete discussion of risk factors, investors should refer to IPA’s filings with Canadian and U.S. securities regulators, including the most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F available at www.sedarplus.ca and www.sec.gov.
