Current report

Liability related to the sale of future royalties and related interest expense

Current report

The liability related to future royalties is presented net of unamortized issuance costs on our consolidated balance sheets. Interest expense on the liability related to future royalties is recognized using the effective interest rate method over the life of the arrangement. We calculate an effective interest rate which will amortize our related obligation to zero over the anticipated repayment period. The liability related to future royalties and the related interest expense are based on our current estimates of future royalties expected to be received over the life of the arrangement, which we determine by using

Current report

internal sales projections and external information from market data sources, which are considered Level 3 inputs. We periodically assess the expected payments and to the extent our estimates of future royalty payments are greater or less than previous estimates or the estimated timing of such payments is materially different than previous estimates, we will adjust the effective interest rate and recognize related non-cash interest expense on a prospective basis.

Previous wording

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing, manufacturing and commercializing innovative antibody-based therapeutics for the treatment of cancer. We generate our pipeline of product candidates from our proprietary suite of antibody technology platforms. We are currently developing therapeutics utilizing multiple modalities, including antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and multi-specific antibodies (which we refer to as DART and TRIDENT molecules). The combination of our technology platforms and antibody engineering expertise has allowed us to generate promising product candidates – three of which have received marketing approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) – and to enter into several strategic collaborations with global biopharmaceutical companies. These collaborations have provided us with over $1.4 billion of non-dilutive funding since our inception in 2000, and have enabled us to leverage the additional expertise of our collaborators to advance the development of multiple partnered product candidates. In addition, we operate a 5 × 2,000 liter commercial-scale cGMP antibody manufacturing facility in our Maryland headquarters to support our clinical programs. We also provide outsourced contract development and manufacturing services to our collaborators and other third parties for commercial and clinical products to offset a portion of the operating costs of this facility.

The combination of our technology platforms and antibody engineering expertise has allowed us to generate promising product candidates – three of which have received marketing approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) – and to enter into several strategic collaborations with global biopharmaceutical companies. These collaborations have provided us with over $1.6 billion of non-dilutive funding since our inception in 2000, and have enabled us to leverage the additional expertise of our collaborators to advance the development of multiple partnered product candidates. In addition, we operate a 5 × 2,000 liter commercial-scale cGMP antibody manufacturing facility in our Maryland headquarters to support our clinical programs.

Previous wording

Our operations to date have concentrated on developing our technology platforms, identifying potential product candidates, undertaking preclinical studies, conducting clinical trials, developing collaborations, operating manufacturing facilities, business planning and raising capital. We only began generating revenues from the sale of products in 2021. We have financed our operations primarily through the public and private offerings of our securities, and collaborations with other biopharmaceutical companies. Although it is difficult to predict our funding requirements, we anticipate that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of March 31, 2025, combined with projected and anticipated future payments from our partners, supports our cash runway into the second half of 2026. Our expected funding needs reflect planned investments in ongoing clinical and preclinical programs. We have implemented, and will continue to evaluate and execute, various cost-saving measures that are designed to extend our financial runway while continuing to progress our pipeline.

As a biotechnology company, we have primarily funded our operations with proceeds from the sale of our common stock in equity offerings and revenue from our multiple collaboration agreements. Management regularly reviews our available liquidity relative to our operating budget and forecast to monitor the sufficiency of our working capital, and anticipates continuing to draw upon available sources of capital, including equity and debt instruments, to support our product development activities. There can be no assurances that new sources of capital will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. Also, any future collaborations, strategic alliances and marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements may require us to give up some or all rights to a product or technology at less than its full potential value. If we are unable to enter into new arrangements or to perform under current or future agreements or obtain additional capital, we will assess our capital resources and may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of our product research and development programs or clinical studies, and/or downsize our organization. Although it is difficult to predict our funding requirements, we anticipate that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of March 31, 2025, combined with projected and anticipated future payments from our partners, supports our cash runway into the second half of 2026.
