- Nature of Operations
Description of the business
MacroGenics, Inc. (the Company) is incorporated in the state of Delaware. The Company is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative antibody-based therapeutics for the treatment of cancer. The Company generates its pipeline of product candidates from its proprietary suite of antibody technology platforms. The Company is currently developing therapeutics utilizing multiple modalities, including antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and multi-specific antibodies (which are referred to as DART® and TRIDENT® molecules). The combination of the Company’s technology platforms and antibody engineering expertise has allowed the Company 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 enabled the Company to leverage the additional expertise of its collaborators to advance the development of multiple partnered product candidates. In addition, the Company operates a commercial-scale cGMP antibody manufacturing facility in its Maryland headquarters to support its clinical programs. The Company also provides outsourced contract development and manufacturing services to its collaborators and other third parties for commercial and clinical products to offset a significant portion of the operating costs of this facility. See Note 12, Subsequent Events, for additional information regarding the sale of the assets and liabilities related to the Company's manufacturing operations (CDMO Operations).
The Company is currently advancing three proprietary product candidates in clinical development: lorigerlimab, a bispecific DART molecule that targets checkpoint inhibitors PD-1 and CTLA-4; MGC026, an ADC that targets B7-H3 and delivers a novel topoisomerase I inhibitor (TOP1i)-based linker-payload, and MGC028, an ADC that targets ADAM9 and delivers a novel TOP1i-based linker-payload. The Company is also actively developing multiple preclinical-stage ADC and next generation T-cell engager programs.
The Company and its partners are developing or commercializing product candidates for which the Company retains certain economic rights. These include three products approved by the FDA: ZYNYZ® (retifanlimab-dlwr), an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) that the Company out-licensed; MARGENZA® (margetuximab-cmkb), an anti-HER2 mAb that the Company sold to a partner; and TZIELD® (teplizumab-mzwv), an anti-CD3 mAb that the Company sold to a partner. The Company is also collaborating with Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Gilead) on the development of MGD024, a bispecific DART antibody targeting CD123 and CD3 that utilizes its next-generation T-cell engager technology, as well as two additional undisclosed pre-clinical development programs.
Liquidity
The Company’s multiple product candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts that include extensive preclinical studies and clinical testing, and regulatory approval prior to commercial use.
The future success of the Company is dependent on its ability to identify and develop its product candidates, and ultimately upon its ability to attain profitable operations. The Company has devoted substantially all of its financial resources and efforts to research and development and general and administrative expense to support such research and development. Net losses and negative cash flows have had, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on the Company’s stockholders’ equity and working capital, and accordingly, its ability to execute its future operating plans.
As a biotechnology company, the Company has primarily funded its operations with proceeds from the sale of its common stock in equity offerings and revenue from its multiple collaboration agreements. Management regularly reviews the Company’s available liquidity relative to its operating budget and forecast to monitor the sufficiency of the Company’s working capital. The Company plans to meet its future operating requirements by generating revenue from current and future strategic collaborations or other arrangements and royalties. The Company anticipates continuing to draw upon available sources of capital, including equity and debt instruments, to support its product development activities. If the Company is unable to enter into new arrangements or to perform under current or future agreements or obtain additional capital, the Company will assess its capital resources and may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of its product research and development programs or clinical studies, reduce other operating expenses, and/or downsize its organization. Based on the Company’s most recent cash flow forecast, the Company believes its current resources are sufficient to fund its operating plans for a minimum of twelve months from the date that this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was filed.
Other risk factors pertinent to the Company's business, including significant equity market volatility and availability of funding in the biotechnology sector, as well as potential issues in the global economy, credit markets and financial markets as a result of significant worldwide events, including inflation, fluctuating interest rates and geopolitical upheaval, might unfavorably impact the Company's ability to generate such additional funding. Given the uncertainty in the rapidly changing market and economic conditions related to these uncertainties, the Company will continue to evaluate the nature and extent of the impact of these uncertainties on its business and financial position.
Basis of Presentation

These interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full fiscal year or for any subsequent interim period.
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MacroGenics, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, MacroGenics UK Limited and MacroGenics Limited. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 9, 2026.
Reclassification
Royalty revenue of approximately $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was reclassified from Collaborative and other agreements to Royalty revenue on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss to conform to the current period presentation.
- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, there were no material changes to the significant accounting policies previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expense. The standard requires further disaggregation of relevant expense captions in a separate note to the financial statements. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
- Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The carrying amount of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are generally considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of their short-term nature. The Company accounts for recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, and requires expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. The ASC 820 hierarchy ranks the quality of reliability of inputs, or assumptions, used in the determination of fair value and requires assets and liabilities carried at fair value to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1 - Fair value is determined by using unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 - Fair value is determined by using inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable. Inputs can include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in inactive markets. Related inputs can also include those used in valuation or other pricing models, such as interest rates and yield curves that can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 - Fair value is determined by inputs that are unobservable and not corroborated by market data. Use of these inputs involves significant and subjective judgments to be made by a reporting entity - e.g., determining an appropriate adjustment to a discount factor for illiquidity associated with a given security.
The Company evaluates financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the appropriate level at which to classify them each reporting period. This determination requires the Company to make subjective judgments as to the significance of inputs used in determining fair value and where such inputs lie within the ASC 820 hierarchy. There were no transfers between levels during the periods presented.

- Marketable Securities
The following tables summarize the Company's marketable securities (in thousands):
| March 31, 2026 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Corporate debt securities | 73,796 | 15 | (4) | 73,807 |
| Total | $132,663 | $37 | $(4) | $132,696 |
All of the Company's available-for-sale securities held as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 had contractual maturities of less than one year. All of the Company's available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2026 were in a loss position for less than twelve months. Unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities as of March 31, 2026 were not significant and were primarily due to changes in interest rates, including market credit spreads, and not due to increased credit risks associated with specific securities. Accordingly, no allowance for credit losses related to the Company's available-for-sale debt securities was recorded. The Company does not intend to sell its investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell its investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity.
- Inventory, Net
Inventory is composed of raw materials valued at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. Cost is determined using the moving average cost basis, which approximates cost on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company performs an assessment of the recoverability of capitalized inventory during each reporting period, and it writes down any excess, obsolete or expired materials to their estimated realizable value in the period in which the impairment is first identified. Such write downs, should they occur, are recorded within the cost of manufacturing services in the statement of operations. Inventory at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 consists of $9.5 million and $7.9 million in raw materials and supplies procured for the purpose of manufacturing drug substance for the Company's contract manufacturing customers. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 there was no inventory reserve recorded.
- Royalty Monetization Arrangement
In June 2025, the Company and Sagard Healthcare Partners (Sagard) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (Royalty Purchase Agreement) pursuant to which the Company sold to Sagard its right to receive royalties on global net sales of ZYNYZ (retifanlimab-dlwr) occurring on and after July 1, 2025 under the Company’s Global Collaboration and License Agreement, dated as of October 24, 2017, as amended (Incyte License Agreement), with Incyte Corporation (Incyte).
Under the terms of the Royalty Purchase Agreement, the Company received a cash payment of $70.0 million. In exchange, Sagard acquired the royalties payable to the Company under the License Agreement for global net sales of ZYNYZ, subject to a cap. Following Sagard’s receipt of aggregate royalty payments totaling $140.0 million (Royalty Payment Cap), the Company will resume collecting all future royalties under the License Agreement. The Company has retained its other economic interests related to ZYNYZ, including future potential development, regulatory and commercial milestones.
The $70.0 million proceeds received from Sagard under the Royalty Purchase Agreement were recorded as a liability related to future royalties, net of transaction costs of $0.3 million, which will be amortized over the estimated life of the arrangement using the effective interest rate method. The Company accounted for the Royalty Purchase Agreement as a financing arrangement because the Company has significant continuing involvement in the generation of cash flows due to Sagard and other existing obligations under the License Agreement. Royalty revenue will be recognized as earned on net sales of ZYNYZ, and the Company will record the royalty payments Incyte makes to Sagard as a reduction of the liability when earned. The aggregate future estimated payments, less the $69.7 million of net proceeds, will be recorded as interest expense over the estimated life of the arrangement. As such payments are made to Sagard, the balance of the liability will be effectively repaid over the life of the Royalty Purchase Agreement. The Company estimates the payments to be made to Sagard over the term of the Royalty Purchase Agreement based on forecasted royalties and calculates the effective interest rate required to discount such payments back to the liability balance. As of March 31, 2026, the estimated effective interest rate under the agreement was approximately 27.9%. Over the course of the Royalty Purchase Agreement, the actual effective interest rate will be affected by the amount and timing of net royalty revenue recognized and changes in forecasted revenue. On a quarterly basis, the Company will reassess the effective interest rate and adjust the rate prospectively as necessary. The company recognized non-cash interest expense of $4.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, which is reflected in the interest and other expense line on the consolidated statements of operations.
Changes to the liability related to future royalties were as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (in thousands):
| Liability related to future royalties - beginning balance | $70,000 |
|---|---|
| Non-cash royalty revenue payable to Sagard | (6,151) |
| Non-cash interest expense recognized | 4,864 |
| Liability related to future royalties - ending balance | $68,713 |
Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the Company and Sagard entered into an amendment to the Royalty Purchase Agreement. See Note 12, Subsequent Events for additional information.
- Revenue
Collaborative and Other Agreements
Incyte Corporation
Incyte License Agreement
In 2017, the Company entered into an exclusive global collaboration and license agreement with Incyte, which was amended in March 2018, April 2022, July 2022 and July 2024, for retifanlimab, an investigational monoclonal antibody that inhibits PD-1 (Incyte License Agreement). Incyte has obtained exclusive worldwide rights for the development and commercialization of retifanlimab in all indications, while the Company retains the right to develop its pipeline assets in combination with retifanlimab. Under the terms of the Incyte License Agreement, Incyte paid the Company an upfront payment of $150.0 million in 2017. The Company manufactures a portion of Incyte’s global commercial supply of retifanlimab. In March 2023, the FDA approved Incyte's Biologics License Application (BLA) for ZYNYZ (retifanlimab-dlwr) for the treatment of adults with metastatic or recurrent locally advanced Merkel cell carcinoma. In May 2025, the FDA approved ZYNYZ with carboplatin and paclitaxel for the first-line treatment of adults with inoperable locally recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal (SCAC), and as a single agent, for adults with locally recurrent or metastatic SCAC with disease progression on or intolerance to platinum-based chemotherapy. In December 2025, Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare approved ZYNYZ as first-line therapy for adults with locally recurrent or metastatic SCAC. In March 2026, Incyte announced that the European Commission approved ZYNYZ in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel for the first-line treatment of adult patients with metastatic or inoperable locally recurrent SCAC. Furthermore, Incyte has stated it is pursuing development of retifanlimab in potentially registration-enabling studies, including in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Incyte is also pursuing development of retifanlimab in combination with select product candidates from its pipeline.
Under the terms of the Incyte License Agreement, as amended, Incyte leads global development of retifanlimab. From the inception of the Incyte License Agreement through March 31, 2026, the Company has recognized $215.0 million for certain development and regulatory milestones under the Incyte License Agreement. Assuming successful development and commercialization by Incyte in multiple indications, the Company is eligible to receive up to an additional $210.0 million in development and regulatory milestones and up to $330.0 million in commercial milestones. The Company was also eligible to receive tiered royalties of 15% to 24% on global net sales, but sold this right to Sagard in June 2025 as described more fully in
Note 6. Royalty Monetization Arrangement. The Company retains the right to develop its pipeline assets in combination with retifanlimab, with Incyte commercializing retifanlimab and the Company commercializing its asset(s), if any such potential combinations are approved. In addition, the Company retains the right to manufacture a portion of both companies' global commercial supply needs of retifanlimab, subject to the separate commercial supply agreement.
The Company evaluated the Incyte License Agreement under the provisions of ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) at inception and identified the followingtwo performance obligations under the agreement: (i) the license of retifanlimab and (ii) the performance of certain clinical activities through a brief technology transfer period. The Company determined that the license and clinical activities are separate performance obligations because they are capable of being distinct and are distinct in the context of the contract. The license has standalone functionality as it is sublicensable, Incyte has significant capabilities in performing clinical trials, and Incyte is capable of performing these activities without the Company's involvement; the Company performed the activities during the transfer period as a matter of convenience. The Company determined that the transaction price of the Incyte License Agreement at inception was $154.0 million, consisting of the consideration to which the Company was entitled in exchange for the license and an estimate of the consideration for clinical activities to be performed. The transaction price was allocated to each performance obligation based on their relative standalone selling price. The standalone selling price of the license was determined using the adjusted market assessment approach considering similar collaboration and license agreements. The standalone selling price for the agreed-upon clinical activities to be performed was determined using the expected cost approach based on similar arrangements the Company has with other parties. The potential development and regulatory milestone payments are fully constrained until the Company concludes that achievement of the milestone is probable, and that recognition of revenue related to the milestone will not result in a significant reversal in amounts recognized in future periods, and as such have been excluded from the transaction price. Any consideration related to sales-based milestones and royalties will be recognized when the related sales occur, as they were determined to relate predominantly to the license granted to Incyte and, therefore, have also been excluded from the transaction price. The Company re-assesses the transaction price in each reporting period and when events whose outcomes are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur. In July 2024, the Company and Incyte executed Amendment No. 4 to the Incyte License Agreement pursuant to which certain development milestones were deemed to have been met. The Company evaluated the amendment as a contract modification under the provisions of ASC 606 which resulted in $100.0 million of revenue being recognized in 2024. From 2018 through March 31, 2026, it became probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue would not occur for development milestones totaling $215.0 million related toclinical and regulatory activities related to the further advancement of retifanlimab. Therefore, the associated consideration was added to the estimated transaction price and was recognized as revenue.
The Company recognized the $150.0 million allocated to the license when it satisfied its performance obligation and transferred the license to Incyte in 2017. The $4.0 million allocated to the clinical activities was recognized ratably as services were performed during 2017 and 2018. The Company recognized $6.2 million and $0.4 million in royalty revenue under the Incyte License Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Incyte Commercial Supply Agreement
In 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with Incyte pursuant to which the Company is entitled to manufacture a portion of the global commercial supply needs for retifanlimab (Incyte Commercial Supply Agreement). Unless terminated earlier, the term of the Incyte Commercial Supply Agreement will expire upon the expiration of Incyte’s obligation to pay royalties under the Incyte License Agreement. The Company evaluated this agreement under ASC 606 and identifiedone performance obligation under the agreement: to perform services related to manufacturing the commercial supply of retifanlimab. The transaction price is based on a fixed price per batch of bulk drug substance to be manufactured and is recognized over time as the services are provided, as the performance by the Company does not create an asset with an alternative use and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for the performance completed to date. The transaction price is being recognized using the input method reflecting the costs incurred (including resources consumed and labor costs incurred) related to the manufacturing services. Variable consideration relating to the reimbursed materials and other reimbursed costs incurred to manufacture retifanlimab is allocated to the related manufacturing activities and is recognized as revenue as those activities occur. Materials purchased by the Company to manufacture retifanlimab are considered inventory and are capitalized and expensed as the materials are used to provide the manufacturing services. The Company recognized $4.2 million and $0.4 million in revenue under the Incyte Commercial Supply Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which is reflected in the Contract Manufacturing revenue line on the statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
Gilead Sciences, Inc
In 2022, the Company and Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Gilead) entered into an exclusive option and collaboration agreement (Gilead Agreement) to develop and commercialize MGD024, an investigational, bispecific antibody that binds CD123 and
CD3, and create bispecific cancer antibodies using the Company’s DART and TRIDENT platforms and undertake their early development under a maximum of two separate bispecific cancer target research programs. Under the agreement, the Company will continue the ongoing phase 1 trial for MGD024 according to a development plan, during which Gilead will have the right to exercise an option granted to Gilead to obtain an exclusive license under the Company’s intellectual property to develop and commercialize MGD024 and other bispecific antibodies of MacroGenics that bind CD123 and CD3 (CD123 Option). The agreement also granted Gilead the right, within its first two years, to nominate a bispecific cancer target set for up to two research programs conducted by the Company and to exercise separate options to obtain an exclusive license for the development, commercialization and exploitation of molecules created under each research program (Research Program Option). Gilead nominated the first of the two research programs in September 2023. In January 2024, the parties amended the Gilead Agreement to revise certain matters related to intellectual property in the performance of the research plans under the agreement. On August 30, 2024, the parties amended the agreement by entering into a second letter agreement under which Gilead will pay the Company to conduct certain research and which extended the period for Gilead to select its second research target combination.
Under the terms of the Gilead Agreement, as amended, in October 2022 Gilead paid the Company an upfront payment of $60.0 million. Assuming Gilead exercises the CD123 Option and Research Program Option and successfully develops and commercializes MGD024, or other CD123 products developed under the agreement, and products result from the two additional research programs, the Company would be eligible to receive up to a total of $1.7 billion in target nomination, option fees, and development, regulatory and commercial milestones. Assuming exercise of the CD123 Option, the Company will also be eligible to receive tiered, low double-digit royalties on worldwide net sales of MGD024 (or other CD123 products developed under the agreement) and assuming exercise of the Research Program Option, a flat royalty on worldwide net sales of any products resulting from the two research programs.
The Company evaluated the Gilead Agreement under the provisions of ASC 606 and identified the following material promises under the agreement: (i) a license to perform any activities allocated to Gilead under the MGD024 development plan; (ii) development activities regarding MGD024, including manufacturing, research and early clinical development activities, necessary to deliver an informational package of development and clinical data, information and materials specified in the Gilead Agreement during the periodin which Gilead can exercise the CD123 Option; (iii) the CD123 Option and (iv) the Research Program Option.
The Company concluded that the license under the MGD024 development plan and development activities are not distinct from one another, as the license has limited value without the Company’s performance of the development activities. Therefore, the Company determined that the development term license and development activities should be combined into a single performance obligation (Development Activities). The CD123 Option is considered a material right as the value of the exclusive license exceeds the payment to be made by Gilead if they exercise their option to obtain an exclusive license to develop and commercialize MGD024 or an alternative CD123 product, and is therefore a distinct performance obligation. The Company determined that the Research Program Option does not provide a material right, as there is no discount on its standalone selling price.
In accordance with ASC 606, the Company determined that the initial transaction price under the Gilead Agreement was $60.0 million, consisting of the upfront, non-refundable payment paid by Gilead. The CD123 Option and Research Program Option payments are excluded from the initial transaction price at contract inception along with any future development, regulatory, and commercial milestone payments (including royalties) following the CD123 Option and Research Program Option exercise. The Company reassesses the amount of variable consideration included in the transaction price every reporting period. The Company allocated the $60.0 million upfront payment in the transaction price to the Development Activities and the CD123 Option based on each performance obligation’s relative standalone selling price. The standalone selling price for the Development Activities was calculated using an expected cost-plus margin approachfor the pre-option development timeline. For the standalone selling price of the CD123 Option, the Company utilized an income-based approach which included the following key assumptions: post-option development timeline and costs, forecasted revenues, discount rates and probabilities of technical and regulatory success.
The Company is recognizing revenue related to the Development Activities performance obligation over the estimated period to complete the Development Activities using an input method reflecting the costs incurred (including resources consumed and labor hours expended) related to the Development Activities. The Company has deferred revenue recognition related to the CD123 Option. If Gilead exercises the CD123 Option and obtains an exclusive license, the Company will recognize revenue as it fulfills its obligations under the Gilead Agreement. If the CD123 Option is not exercised, the Company will recognize the entirety of the revenue in the period when the CD123 Option expires.
The Company recognized $0.3 million in revenue andno revenue under the Gilead Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, $56.5 million in revenue was deferred under this agreement, all of which was current. As of December 31, 2025, $56.8 million in revenue was deferred under this agreement, $1.3 million of which was current and $55.5 million of which was non-current.
In September 2023, the Company and Gilead executed a letter agreement (First Letter Agreement) through which Gilead nominated the first of the two research programs contemplated in the Gilead Agreement (First Research Program), the Company granted Gilead a research license, and the parties agreed on a research plan for the First Research Program under which the Company will provide research and development services. Gilead paid the Company a $15.7 million nomination fee. The Company evaluated the First Letter Agreement under the terms of ASC 606, and concluded that it is a modification to the Gilead Agreement that results in a separate contract since the modification is for additional goods and services that are distinct and at standalone selling price. The Company determined that the license and the related research and development activities were not distinct from one another, as the license has limited value without the performance of the research and development activities. As such, the Company determined that these should be combined into a single performance obligation. Gilead also has the exclusive option to pay the Company $10.0 million to obtain a license to exploit the research molecule and research product with respect to the First Research Program. The Company determined that this exclusive option does not provide a material right, as there is no discount on its standalone selling price.
In accordance with ASC 606, the Company determined that the initial transaction price for the First Research Program agreement was $15.7 million, consisting of the non-refundable payment paid by Gilead. The Company is recognizing revenue over the estimated period to complete the services using the input method reflecting the costs incurred (including resources consumed and labor hours expended) related to the research and development services. In June 2024, the Company received variable consideration totaling $3.3 million from Gilead upon achievement of a research plan milestone. The variable consideration was added to the transaction price and allocated to the performance obligation to determine the amount of related revenue to be recognized. A proportional amount was recognized based on the input cost to cost measurement of work completed to date.
The Company completed performing the services and recognizing revenue related to the First Research Program in mid-2025. The Company recorded $5.4 million in revenue related to the First Research Program during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
In November 2025, the parties amended the Gilead Agreement by entering into a third letter agreement (Third Letter Agreement) under which Gilead nominated the second of the two research programs contemplated in the Gilead Agreement (Second Research Program) and the Company granted Gilead a research license. Gilead also exercised their exclusive option to obtain a license to exploit the research molecule and research product with respect to the Second Research Program. Gilead paid the Company a total of $25.0 million related to the nomination and option exercise.
The Company evaluated the Third Letter Agreement under the terms of ASC 606, and concluded that it is a modification to the Gilead Agreement that results in a separate contract since the modification is for additional goods and services that are distinct and at standalone selling price. The Company determined that there isone performance obligation under the Third Letter Agreement; to grant the research term license and exploitation license. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company determined that the initial transaction price for the Second Research Program was $25.0 million, consisting of the non-refundable payment made by Gilead. The Company recognized this amount when it satisfied its performance obligation and transferred the license to Gilead during the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company is entitled to future development, regulatory and commercial milestones related to the Second Research Program should Gilead successfully develop and commercialize the molecule. These potential development and regulatory milestone payments arefully constrained until the Company concludes that achievement of the milestone is probable and that recognition of revenue related to the milestone will not result in a significant reversal in amounts recognized in future periods, and as such have been excluded from the transaction price. Any consideration related to sales-based milestones and royalties will be recognized when the related sales occur, as they were determined to relate predominantly to the license granted to Gilead and, therefore, have also been excluded from the transaction price.
Sanofi S.A.
In 2018, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Provention Bio, Inc. (Provention) pursuant to which Provention acquired the Company’s interest in teplizumab, a monoclonal antibody being developed for the treatment of type 1 diabetes (Provention APA). The FDA approved the BLA for TZIELD (teplizumab-mzwv) in November 2022. In March 2023, the Company sold its single-digit royalty interest in TZIELD to a wholly-owned subsidiary of DRI Healthcare Trust (DRI) and received a $100.0 million payment from DRI under a Royalty Purchase Agreement. The Company retained its other economic interests related to TZIELD, including future potential regulatory and commercial milestones, as well as the right to receive a 50% share of the royalty on global net sales above a certain annual threshold. In addition, the Company remains eligible to receive an additional $50.0 million if TZIELD achieves a certain level of net sales.
In April 2023, Sanofi S.A. (Sanofi) completed its acquisition of Provention and the Company entered into a tripartite agreement with DRI and Sanofi under which it was released of any obligations under the Royalty Purchase Agreement. In September 2023, the Company and Sanofi executed Amendment No. 2 to the Provention APA and terminated the Royalty Purchase Agreement with DRI. As a result, the remaining $50.0 million sales milestone under the Royalty Purchase Agreement was incorporated into the Provention APA.
The Company evaluated the Provention APA under the provisions of ASC 606, and determined that the potential development and regulatory milestone payments are fully constrained until the Company concludes that achievement of the milestone is probable and that recognition of revenue related to the milestone will not result in a significant reversal in amounts recognized in future periods. Any consideration related to sales-based milestones will be recognized when the related sales occur. The Company re-assesses the transaction price in each reporting period and when events whose outcomes are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, no revenue was recognized under these agreements. As of March 31, 2026, the remaining future potential regulatory and commercial milestones total $329.5 million.

In addition, pursuant to the amendment, the Company is eligible to receive an additional one-time milestone payment of up to $20.0 million, contingent upon ZYNYZ achieving specified calendar year 2026 net sales thresholds under the Incyte License Agreement. Any such milestone payment received by the Company will be added to the Aggregate Purchase Price for purposes of calculating the royalty payment cap.
Asset Purchase Agreement
On May 11, 2026, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (Purchase Agreement) with Bora Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd and Bora Biologics USA LLC (collectively, Bora) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to Bora assets and liabilities related to its CDMO Operations (the Transaction).
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, following the satisfaction or waiver of all closing conditions, Bora will pay the Company $122.5 million in cash at closing for the CDMO Operations, subject to customary adjustments, including for working capital and indebtedness. Additionally, the Purchase Agreement provides for up to $5.0 million of potential additional post-closing cash payments to the Company upon achievement of certain manufacturing milestones by the CDMO Operations and professional development program services to be performed by the CDMO Operations in 2027 and 2028. All of the Company’s current contracts to provide manufacturing services to external customers will transfer to Bora upon closing.
