ABVC BioPharma Reports 2025 Form 10-K

 

Total Assets Increase 179% to $21.06 Million as Company Strengthens Asset-Backed Licensing Model

 

Silicon Valley, CA (March 3, 2026) – ABVC BioPharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: ABVC) today announced the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, marking a transformative year characterized by substantial balance sheet growth and strategic long-term asset positioning.

 

Significant Balance Sheet Expansion

 

Total assets increased to $21,062,203, compared to $7,539,907 in 2024 — representing a 179% year-over-year increase.

 

Net property and equipment rose to $12,835,409, up from $511,088 in the prior year, primarily driven by the strategic acquisition of land and development-oriented land assets in Asia.    The title transition to ABVC and its subsidiary is in process.

 

As of December 31, 2025, the Company reported:

 

Total Assets: $21.06 million

 

Property and Equipment (net): $12.84 million

 

Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets: $1.91 million

 

Long-Term Investments: $1.88 million

 

Management believes the 2025 fiscal year represents a structural strengthening of the Company’s balance sheet and asset foundation.

 

Licensing Structure: Risk Transfer with Long-Term Economic Retention

 

Over prior years, ABVC strategically licensed its core drug programs to a subsidiary and related parties:

 

CNS pipeline to AiBtl BioPharma

 

Oncology programs to OncoX BioPharma

 

Ophthalmology programs to ForSeeCon Eye Corporation

 

Under this structure:

 

Subsidiary and related parties handle advancing clinical development

 

ABVC reduces direct clinical cash burn exposure

 

ABVC retains licensing economics and equity participation

 

 

 

Thus far, this model has enabled ABVC to separate development risk from long-term value participation, while preserving upside and mitigating capital intensity. We believe this model will continue to benefit us.

 

Strategic Asset Expansion in Taiwan

 

In parallel with its licensing framework, ABVC is on a trajectory to strengthen its long-term infrastructure positioning in Asia through direct, or via its subsidiary’s strategic land asset acquisitions.

 

1. Longtan District, Taoyuan – 5,995.41 square meters1

 

The Longtan property was valued at $4.6 million as of December 31, 2025.

 

The land is being held as a strategic reserve asset with flexible future use potential, including healthcare-related applications, demonstration facilities, or supportive infrastructure aligned with biotechnology and long-term care initiatives.

 

The Company has adopted a disciplined “land-first, development-later” approach, preserving strategic optionality while strengthening tangible asset backing.

 

2. Puli Township, Nantou – 69,230.90 square meters2

 

The Puli property was independently appraised as of January 30, 2026, at approximately USD $8.0 million.

 

The Puli development plan is designed as a staged, long-term initiative focused on:

 

Establishing a medicinal plant cultivation base

 

Supporting pharmaceutical supply chain localization

 

Creating an agricultural-biotech integration platform

 

Developing value-added processing and storage infrastructure

 

Projected annual cultivation and processing output value is estimated between approximately $60,000 to $360,000, depending on processing depth and value enhancement. 

 

The Puli site represents a scalable long-term development platform rather than a short-term construction project, with phased investment over multiple years.

 

 

1Due to the administrative requirements governing title transfers in Taiwan, this land is registered under a related party landholder, pending completion of the applicable regulatory review; the final holding structure will be determined in accordance with Taiwan’s legal and regulatory requirements.

 

2As of the date hereof, the transfer of the land’s title is under government review, pending completion of the title transfer registration.

Evolution Toward a Hybrid Asset Model

 

The potential for a substantial increase in fixed and real assets reflects ABVC’s strategic evolution — transitioning from a purely IP-driven biotech structure toward a hybrid model combining:

 

Intellectual property

 

Licensing revenue potential

 

Equity participation in development subsidiaries

 

Tangible long-term physical assets
