Arbutus Biopharma reported second quarter 2025 financial results, including a net income of $2.5 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted common share, a significant improvement from a net loss of $19.8 million in Q2 2024. Total revenue surged to $10.7 million from $1.7 million in the prior year, primarily due to the recognition of previously-deferred revenue following the conclusion of the Qilu Pharmaceutical partnership. The company continued its cost-cutting efforts, with research and development expenses decreasing by $10.1 million to $5.5 million, and general and administrative expenses falling by $4.2 million to $3.3 million, compared to Q2 2024. These reductions reflect the ongoing organizational streamlining and lower litigation-related legal fees. Arbutus also announced changes to its Board of Directors and Scientific Advisory Board; Dr. Roger Sawhney joined the Board, while Anuj Hasija resigned, and Dr. Harry Janssen was appointed to the Scientific Advisory Board. As of June 30, 2025, the company held $98.1 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities.
