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 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.
Current report
Contract manufacturing revenue increased by $39.5 millionfor the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, reflecting increased production for external clients in 2025.
Current report
Royalty revenue increased by $9.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024 due to higher sales of ZYNYZ. During 2025, $7.9 million of the royalty revenue was non-cash due to the sale of our royalty rights to Sagard Healthcare Partners (Sagard) in June 2025. See Note 10, Royalty Monetization Arrangement, to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Interest and Other Expense
Current report
In June 2025, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (Royalty Purchase Agreement) with Sagard, pursuant to which we sold to Sagard our right to receive royalties on global net sales of ZYNYZ (retifanlimab-dlwr) occurring on and after July 1, 2025 under our Incyte License Agreement, dated as of October 24, 2017, as amended. We are recognizing non-cash interest expense over the life of the Royalty Purchase Agreement, $8.3 million of which was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase in Interest and Other Expense of $7.4 million from the year ended December 31, 2024 to the year ended December 31, 2025 is primarily due to this non-cash interest expense, partially offset by a decrease in other expense. See Note 10, Royalty Monetization Arrangement, for more information.

Previous report
Cost of product sales relates to sales of MARGENZA. These costs include materials and manufacturing costs, as well as royalties payable on net sales of MARGENZA and inventory reserves. All product costs incurred prior to FDA approval of MARGENZA in December 2020 were expensed as research and development expense. As a result, cost of product sales was positively impacted as we sold through inventory that was expensed prior to FDA approval of MARGENZA. In November 2024, we sold global rights to MARGENZA to TerSera.

Product Sales, Net
Previous report
Prior to the sale of MARGENZA to TerSera in November 2024, we entered into a limited number of arrangements with specialty distributors in the United States to distribute MARGENZA. The delivery of our product represents a single performance obligation for these transactions and we record net product revenue when control is transferred to the customer, generally upon receipt by the customer. The transaction price for net product revenue represents the amount we expect to receive, which is net of estimated government-mandated rebates and chargebacks, distribution fees, estimated product returns, and other deductions. Accruals are established for these deductions, and actual amounts incurred are offset against applicable accruals. Customer discounts are recorded as reductions of accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheets. Allowance for product returns, provider chargebacks, government and other rebates and service fees are recorded as a component of accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Sales deductions are based on management's estimates that consider payor mix in target markets and experience to-date. These estimates involve a substantial degree of judgment, in particular, for government-mandated rebates and chargebacks, such as for the Medicaid and 340B programs.
Previous report
Contract manufacturing revenue increased by $3.3 millionfor the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 due to increased manufacturing under the Incyte Manufacturing and Clinical Supply Agreement and the revenue recognized under the Emergent BioSolutions Manufacturing and Clinical Supply Agreements executed in the second half of 2023.
Previous report
Cost of product sales was $0.8 million and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Gain on Royalty Monetization Arrangement
Previous report
In April 2023, we entered into the Tripartite Agreement with DRI Healthcare Acquisitions LP (DRI) and Sanofi S.A (Sanofi), whereby we consented to the sale of DRI’s royalty interest in TZIELD and the related milestone payment obligations to Sanofi. The execution of the Tripartite Agreement resulted in a modification to the liability related to future royalties, and we recognized a $100.9 million gain on royalty monetization arrangement. In July 2023, Sanofi reported achievement of the primary endpoint milestone event related to a $50.0 million milestone, which resulted in an additional $50.0 million gain on royalty monetization arrangement. In September 2023, we amended the Provention asset purchase agreement and terminated the Royalty Purchase Agreement with DRI.

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.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 is primarily due to $70.0 million received from Sagard upon sale of our right to receive royalties on global net sales of ZYNYZ (retifanlimab-dlwr). Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 includes proceeds from stock option exercises and ESPP purchases, offset by taxes paid related to net share settlement of equity awards.
Previous wording
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 December 31, 2024, combined with anticipated and potential collaboration payments, contract manufacturing revenue, and royalties, should enable us to fund our operations into the second half of 2026. Our expected funding requirements reflect anticipated expenditures related to the ongoing Phase 2 LORIKEET study of lorigerlimab in mCRPC as well as our other clinical and preclinical studies currently ongoing.

Although it is difficult to predict our funding requirements, we anticipate that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2025, combined with projected and anticipated future payments from our partners, and anticipated savings from our cost-reduction initiatives, supports our cash runway into late 2027. We have implemented, and will continue to evaluate and execute, various cost-saving measures that are intended to extend our financial runway while continuing to progress our pipeline.
Previous wording
Our short-term and long-term material cash requirements consist of operational and capital expenditures, some of which contain contractual obligations. Our primary uses of cash relate to paying salaries and benefits, administering clinical trials and providing the technology and facilities necessary to support our operations. The most significant contractual obligations are the operating leases at our facilities in Maryland. Our future minimum lease payments as of December 31, 2024 totaled $5.2 million related to short-term lease liabilities, and $65.3 million related to long-term lease liabilities. See Note 6, Commitments and Contingencies, in the Notes to the Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information about our contractual obligations. We expect to fund these requirements with current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as well as anticipated and potential collaboration payments.
