Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2026
Note 1 — Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Nektar Therapeutics (Nektar, we) is a clinical stage, research-based drug discovery biopharmaceutical company headquartered in San Francisco, California and incorporated in Delaware, focused on the development of novel immunology therapies. Within this growing field, we direct our efforts toward creating new immunomodulatory agents that selectively induce, amplify, attenuate or prevent immune responses in order to achieve desired therapeutic outcomes. Our pipeline of clinical-stage and preclinical-stage immunomodulatory agents targets the treatment of autoimmune diseases (e.g. rezpegaldesleukin and NKTR-0165 and -0166, respectively) and cancer (e.g. NKTR-255).
We are conducting Phase 2b trials of rezpegaldesleukin in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis which we initiated in October 2023 (the Phase 2b REZOLVE-AD trial) and in patients with severe-to-very severe alopecia areata which we initiated in March 2024 (the Phase 2b REZOLVE-AA trial). On February 24, 2025, we announced that we had entered into a collaboration agreement with TrialNet to evaluate rezpegaldesleukin in patients with new onset stage 3 type 1 diabetes mellitus in a Phase 2 study. TrialNet will conduct the study with funding from the National Institutes of Health, primarily through the Special Statutory Funding Program for Type 1 Diabetes through the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. Nektar will supply rezpegaldesleukin for the study and will retain all rights to the rezpegaldesleukin program under the collaboration.
On June 24, 2025 and February 10, 2026, we announced data from the 16-week induction period and 36-week maintenance period, respectively, of the ongoing Phase 2b REZOLVE-AD trial being conducted in 393 patients.
On December 16, 2025 and April 20, 2026, we announced data from the 36-week induction period and 16-week treatment extension period, respectively, of the ongoing Phase 2b REZOLVE-AA trial being conducted in 92 patients.
Our research and development activities have required significant ongoing investment to date and are expected to continue to require significant investment. As a result, we expect to continue to incur substantial losses and negative cash flows from operations in the future. We have financed our operations primarily through cash generated from licensing, collaboration and manufacturing agreements and financing transactions. As of March 31, 2026, we had approximately$731.6 million in cash and investments in marketable securities.
As we continue our research and development activities, we will need additional cash to fund our operations. Accordingly, we may enter into new collaboration agreements or other similar transactions, and we may also seek financing transactions, which may include dilutive equity-based financings, such as an offering of our common stock. There can be no assurance that any additional collaboration agreements or financings will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms. We believe we have sufficient cash and investments in marketable securities to fund operations through at least the next twelve months from the date of the filing of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
From July 2025 to April 2026, we have completed a number of equity-based financing transactions, under which we have sold 19,400,822 shares of our common stock and 293,103 pre-funded warrants, resulting in net proceeds of $1,069.1 million, including 4,270,055 shares sold and net proceeds of $364.5 million received after March 31, 2026. See Note 6 for additional information.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
We have prepared our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements pursuant to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) and the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, we may condense or omit certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP for annual periods. In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that we consider necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position and operating results.
Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, we consider whether we have both the power to direct activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to that entity. We do not have any interests in any variable interest entities of which we are the primary beneficiary. We have eliminated all intercompany accounts and transactions in consolidation.
Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are denominated in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates between the applicable foreign currency and the U.S. dollar will affect the translation of each foreign subsidiary’s financial results into U.S. dollars for purposes of reporting our consolidated financial results.
Our comprehensive loss consists of our net loss plus our foreign currency translation gains and losses (to the extent recognized in other comprehensive income (loss)) and unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities. There were no significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to the statements of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. We include translation gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the stockholders’ equity section of our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. However, if we have concluded that we have substantially liquidated the entity, such as for our subsidiary in India, we recognize subsequent translation gains and losses in other income (expense) in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data as of December 31, 2025 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on March 12, 2026. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to those financial statements.
Revenue, expenses, assets, and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. The results and trends in these interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other period.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Accounting estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain.
Actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions. As appropriate, we assess estimates each period, update them to reflect current information, and generally reflect any changes in estimates in the period first identified.
Related Parties
Transactions between related parties are considered to be related party transactions even though they may not be given accounting recognition. Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 850, Related Party Disclosures (ASC 850) requires that transactions with related parties that would make a difference in decision making shall be disclosed so that users of the financial statements can evaluate their significance. The related party transactions disclosed on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets relate to transactions with Gannet BioChem. Please see Note 4 regarding our related party transactions with Gannet BioChem.
Significant Concentrations
We are dependent on our contract manufacturers in the supply chain of our drug candidates to provide raw materials, manufacturing services and other development services with appropriate quality and reliability to meet applicable regulatory requirements. In certain cases, we rely on a single contract manufacturer for its role in our supply chain. Consequently, in the event that these services are delayed or interrupted for any reason, our ability to develop and produce our drug candidates could be significantly impaired, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
For our available-for-sale securities, we have significant concentrations of issuers in the banking and financial services industries. While our investment policy requires that we only invest in highly-rated securities and limit our exposure to any single issuer, various factors may materially affect the financial condition of issuers. Additionally, pursuant to our investment policy, we may sell securities before maturity if the issuer’s credit rating has been downgraded below our minimum credit rating requirements, which may result in a loss on the sale. Accordingly, if various factors result in downgrades below our minimum credit rating requirements and if we decide to sell these securities, we may experience losses on such sales.
Reverse Stock Split
On June 6, 2025, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation, or the Reverse Stock Split Amendment, to effect a reverse stock split of Nektar’s Common Stock at a ratio ofone-for-fifteen, effective June 8, 2025. No fractional shares of common stock were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. All share and per share figures in these financial statements have been adjusted to give retrospective effect to the Reverse Stock Split.
Net Loss Per Share
For all periods presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, the net loss available to common stockholders is equal to the reported net loss. We calculate basic net loss per share based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, including pre-funded warrants outstanding, during the periods presented. Pre-funded warrants are considered outstanding for the purposes of computing basic net loss per share because the shares are issuable for little consideration, are fully vested and are exercisable after the original issuance date. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, basic and diluted net loss per share are the same due to our net losses and the requirement to exclude potentially dilutive securities which would have an antidilutive effect on net loss per share. Weexcluded shares underlying the weighted average outstanding stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs), as follows:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Potentially dilutive securities | 2,635,898 | 2,313,456 |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, an accounting standard update that requires the Company to disclose more detailed information about the types of expenses (including employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization) included in each relevant income statement expense caption. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date, to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the incremental disclosures that will be required in our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient that assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset in developing reasonable and supportable forecasts during the application of the current expected credit loss model for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions under ASC 606. ASU 2025-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company determined there is no impact of adopting ASU 2025-05 as it does not develop forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses.

Liabilities Related to the Sales of Future Royalties
In 2012 and 2020, we sold to RPI Finance Trust (RPI) and entities managed by Healthcare Royalty Management, LLC (HCR), respectively, our rights to receive royalties under our license and manufacturing agreements with certain pharmaceutical partners under the 2012 Purchase and Sale Agreement and the 2020 Purchase and Sale Agreement, respectively. We account for these transactions as debt and recognize non-cash royalty revenue and non-cash interest expense to amortize the proceeds over the lives of the respective arrangements. We periodically update our prospective non-cash interest rate based on our estimates of future royalties. As of March 31, 2026, our imputed interest rate for the arrangement with HCR was 49%.
The following is a reconciliation of the changes in our liabilities related to the sales of future royalties for thethree months ended March 31, 2026 (in thousands):
| 2012 Purchase and Sale Agreement | 2020 Purchase and Sale Agreement | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Liabilities related to the sales of future royalties, net – beginning balance | $2,070 | $61,087 | $63,157 |

| Amortization of transaction costs | — | 32 | 32 |
| Liabilities related to the sales of future royalties, net – ending balance | $1,368 | $58,902 | $60,270 |
Note 4 — Equity Method Investment
On December 2, 2024, we completed the sale of our manufacturing facility located in Huntsville, Alabama (the Facility) and certain other manufacturing assets related thereto, including the assignment of our existing manufacturing and supply obligations, to Gannet BioChem, an affiliate of Ampersand Management LLC d/b/a Ampersand Capital Partners (Ampersand), via an Asset Purchase Agreement (the APA), for consideration of $64.7 million in cash, net of transaction costs, and an approximate 20% equity ownership at the time of close in Gannet BioChem.
Our ownership interest in Gannet BioChem is as follows:
| March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Common units owned by Nektar | 20,000,000 | 20,000,000 |
| Percentage ownership of common units outstanding | 89% | 100% |
| Percentage ownership of common and preferred units outstanding | 19% | 20% |
Our investment in Gannet BioChem is considered a variable interest entity for which we are not the primary beneficiary. We have significant influence, but do not control, Gannet BioChem through our noncontrolling representation on Gannet BioChem’s board of directors and our equity interests in Gannet BioChem. Accordingly, we do not consolidate Gannet BioChem and account for our investment in Gannet BioChem using the equity method of accounting, under which we record our share of Gannet BioChem’s profits and losses as gain or loss from equity method investment in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. As a result of Ampersand’s liquidation preferences, we record our share of Gannet BioChem’s gains and losses under the hypothetical liquidation at book value method, which is a balance sheet approach that calculates the change in the hypothetical amount Ampersand and we would be entitled to receive if Gannet BioChem were liquidated at book value at the end of each period, adjusted for any contributions made and distributions received during the period, as well as basis differences between the initial fair value of our investment in Gannet BioChem and our claim on the net assets of Gannet BioChem. Our maximum exposure to loss in Gannet BioChem is limited to the carrying value of our investment.
Our loss from our investment in Gannet BioChem is as follows (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Claim on net assets of Gannet BioChem - beginning of period | $3,491 | $12,218 |
| Claim on net assets of Gannet BioChem - end of period | 1,741 | 7,757 |
| Change in claim on net assets of Gannet BioChem | $(1,750) | $(4,461) |
Gannet BioChem is considered a related party to Nektar. We have entered into agreements with Gannet BioChem for the supply of the polyethylene glycol reagents used in the manufacture of rezpegaldesleukin and NKTR-255 and certain other development services. We also provided certain accounting and information technology services to Gannet BioChem under a transition services agreement.
Note 5 — Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
From time to time, we are involved in lawsuits, arbitrations, claims, investigations and proceedings, consisting of intellectual property, commercial, employment and other matters, which arise in the ordinary course of business. We make provisions for liabilities when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Such provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the impact of settlement negotiations, judicial and administrative rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. If any unfavorable ruling were to occur in any specific period, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of our operations for that period and on our cash flows and liquidity.
On August 7, 2023, we filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (the Court) against Eli Lilly and Company (Lilly) alleging, among other claims, breach of contract and breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing (the Complaint), in connection with our collaboration with Lilly. Following the denial of its motion to dismiss the Complaint entirely, Lilly filed an answer that included counterclaims against us alleging breach of specified confidentiality provisions and defamation. On September 19, 2025, Lilly filed a motion to voluntarily dismiss its counterclaims with prejudice, which the Court granted on October 7, 2025. Lilly filed a motion for summary judgment, which the Court denied in an order issued on March 18, 2026. Certain other pre-trial motions filed by both parties remain pending before the Court. Following the shutdown of the federal government, on October 14, 2025, the Court postponed the previously calendared October 27, 2025 starting date of the jury trial. The Court has set a new jury trial date of September 8, 2026.
After previously authorizing good and service tax (GST) refunds of approximately $3.3 million for the period of July 2017 to September 2019, the Indian GST authorities issued a show cause notice in October 2023 seeking to recover this refund, plus penalties and interest, for which we have subsequently received a demand in September 2025 seeking payment to Indian GST authorities. We have not paid the demand in view of an appeal we filed with the Indian authorities, and believe that we have meritorious defenses against the demand. We believe a loss is not probable and therefore have not accrued a liability as of March 31, 2026.
On March 6, 2026, a putative class action complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company, our CEO, CFO and Chief Research and Development Officer, captioned Schramke v. Nektar Therapeutics, et al. The complaint asserts claims for violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act and SEC rules promulgated thereunder, seeks damages, attorneys’ fees and other relief, and alleges, among other things, that from February 26, 2025 through December 15, 2025, the defendants made misleading statements and/or failed to disclose material information regarding the REZOLVE-AA trial. The Company denies the claims, believes they are without merit, and intends to defend vigorously against this litigation. We have not recorded a liability for this matter as of March 31, 2026.
We have recordedno liability for any litigation matters in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at either March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.
Commitments — Biolojic Design, Ltd. (Biolojic)
In 2021, we entered into a research collaboration and license option agreement with Biolojic to discover and develop agonistic antibodies that activate a novel and previously un-drugged target for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. In 2023, we exercised an option to gain an exclusive license to specified agonistic antibodies and other materials that were developed pursuant to this arrangement in all fields of use (other than in the field of oncology), which have used in our research program based on tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor type II (TNFR2) agonism, including NKTR-0165 and NKTR-0166. As a result of exercising this option, we may be required to pay up to $18.0 million based on the achievement of certain development milestones, including the first milestone of $3.0 million payable upon the acceptance of the first investigational new drug application, and up to $35.0 million based on the achievement of certain regulatory approval milestones. Each milestone is payable only once, regardless of the number of indications for which we develop the licensed product. We record a liability when a milestone payment becomes probable. As of March 31, 2026, no milestones have been achieved or are considered probable, and no liability has been recorded.
Indemnifications in Connection with Commercial Agreements
As part of our collaboration agreements with our partners related to the license, development, manufacture and supply of our proprietary drug candidates, we generally agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless our partners from and against third party liabilities arising out of the agreement, including product liability (with respect to our activities) and infringement of intellectual property to the extent the intellectual property is developed by us and licensed to our partners. The term of these indemnification obligations is generally perpetual commencing after execution of the agreement. There is generally no limitation on the potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification obligations.
From time to time, we enter into other strategic agreements such as divestitures and financing transactions pursuant to which we are required to make representations and warranties and undertake to perform or comply with certain covenants. For example, we made certain intellectual property representations in connection with our RPI and HCR transactions, however, the time limitation we have to indemnify RPI with respect to any breach of these intellectual property-based representations and warranties has passed. In the event it is determined that we breached certain of the representations and warranties or covenants made by us in any such agreements or certain express indemnification provisions are applicable, we could incur substantial indemnification liabilities depending on the timing, nature, and amount of any such claims.
To date, we have not incurred any costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification obligations, nor any breaches of representations or warranties or covenants. Because the aggregate amount of any potential indemnification obligation is not a stated amount, we cannot reasonably estimate the overall maximum amount of any such obligations.
Note 6 — Stockholders’ Equity
Financing Transactions
We filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 and a related prospectus (the April 2025 Shelf Registration Statement) that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on April 1, 2025. Pursuant to the April 2025 Shelf Registration Statement, we may offer and sell common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants and or units having an aggregate public offering price of up to $300.0 million. In connection with the April 2025 Shelf Registration Statement, in April and November 2025, we also entered equity distribution agreements with Piper Sandler & Co. and BTIG, LLC, relating to the sale of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $75.0 million (the April 2025 ATM Sales Agreement) and $110.0 million (the November 2025 ATM Sales Agreement). The sales of the shares under these agreements could be made by any method permitted that is deemed to be an “at-the-market” (ATM) equity offering as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act, including sales made directly on or through Nasdaq or on any other existing trading market for our common stock. We agreed to pay Piper Sandler & Co. and BTIG, LLC a commission equal to 3.0% of the gross sales price of all common stock sold through them as sales agents. As a result of the transactions described below, no shares remain available for issuance under the April 2025 Shelf Registration Statement.
On November 12, 2025, we filed a new registration statement on Form S-3ASR and a related prospectus (the November 2025 Shelf Registration), as a “well-known seasoned issuer,” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act. The November 2025 Shelf Registration became automatically effective upon filing, and permits us to offer, from time to time, an unspecified amount of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities and warrants.

The TCG Pre-funded Warrant had an exercise price of $0.0015 per share and was exercisable at any time after the original issuance date. On July 1, and July 11, 2025, TCG exercised the TCG Pre-funded Warrant to purchase 780,000 and 886,667 shares of common stock, respectively. Exercise proceeds were immaterial. As a result of these exercises, no shares remain issuable under the TCG Pre-funded Warrant.
On February 13, 2026, as disclosed above, we completed the sale and issuance of 293,103 pre-funded warrants at a price of $57.9999 per share. Each pre-funded warrant has an exercise price of $0.0001 per share and is exercisable at any time after the original issuance date. As of March 31, 2026, none of the warrants have been exercised.
Weclassified the pre-funded warrants as a component of permanent equity in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as they are freestanding financial instruments that are immediately exercisable, do not embody an obligation for the Company to repurchase its own shares and permit the holder to receive a fixed number of shares of common stock upon exercise. All of the shares underlying the pre-funded warrants have been included in the weighted-average number of shares of common stock used to calculate net loss per share attributable to common stockholders because the shares may be issued for little or no consideration, are fully vested and are exercisable after the original issuance dates of the pre-funded warrants.
Note 7 — License and Collaboration Agreements
We have entered into various collaboration agreements including license agreements and collaborative research, development and commercialization agreements with various pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. Under these collaboration arrangements, we may be entitled to receive license fees, upfront payments, milestone and other contingent payments, royalties, sales milestone payments, and reimbursements for research and development activities. We generally include our costs of performing these services in research and development expense. We analyze our agreements to determine whether we should account for the agreements within the scope of ASC 808 Collaborative Arrangements, and, if so, we analyze whether we should account for any elements under ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
We have a collaboration agreement with UCB for dapirolizumab pegol, under which we are entitled to a total of up to $40.0 million of regulatory approval milestones, as well as royalties in the low single digits based on net sales of commercialized products, if any. UCB is developing dapirolizumab pegol, a PEGylated antibody fragment, with Biogen, Inc. for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus. However, given the current phase of development of this product and the uncertainty in clinical development, we have excluded these milestones from the transaction price for this agreement.
Certain of our other collaboration agreements have resulted in commercialized products for our collaborations partners. Under these agreements, we are entitled to receive royalties based on net sales of these products as well as sales milestones. As discussed in Note 3, we have sold our rights to receive royalties from these other collaboration agreements. Our non-cash royalty revenue, which totaled$10.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and$10.5 million and for the three months ended March 31, 2025, represents revenue for granting licenses which we had satisfied in prior periods.
