Sura-vec (ABBV-RGX-314)
Current report
The AAVIATE® trial is a multi-center, open label, randomized, controlled, dose-escalation Phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of suprachoroidal delivery of sura-vec for the treatment of wet AMD. Based on the favorable safety profile observed as of July 29, 2024, the Phase II AAVIATE trial enrolled a cohort to evaluate sura-vec at dose level 4 (1.5x10e12 GC/eye). Patients in this cohort received short course prophylactic steroid eye drops. Enrollment of the AAVIATE trial has been completed.
Current report
Sura-vec for Treatment of DR and DME
Current report
Concurrent with the two-year data announcement in August 2025, we and AbbVie announced an amendment to our collaboration agreement and plans to initiate a pivotal program consisting of a Phase IIb/III trial (NAAVIGATE) as well as a second Phase III trial. NAAVIGATE is a two-part, multicenter, randomized, masked, sham-controlled Phase IIb/III study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of sura-vec in subjects with NPDR without center-involved diabetic macular edema (CI-DME). The primary endpoint is > 2-step improvement on the DRSS at one year. Following an interim analysis of part one (Phase IIb) portion of the NAAVIGATE trial, we and AbbVie will initiate a Phase III expansion, including part two (Phase III) of the U.S. NAAVIGATE trial and a parallel global trial led by AbbVie. We have activated U.S. clinical sites and initiated enrollment of the Phase IIb/III NAAVIGATE trial and expect to dose the first patient in the second quarter of 2026, upon which we are entitled to a $100.0 million milestone payment from AbbVie.

RGX-202 for Treatment of Duchenne
Current report
AFFINITY DUCHENNE® is an ongoing multicenter, open-label Phase I/II/III trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability and clinical efficacy of a one-time intravenous dose of RGX-202 in ambulatory patients with Duchenne aged 1 to 11 years old. Phase I/II results, reported between November 2024 and March 2026, demonstrated RGX-202 to be well tolerated with no serious adverse events or adverse events of special interest among all patients (n=13). Additionally, we reported positive biomarker data showing consistent, high expression and transduction of RGX-202 microdystrophin, with all patients exceeding 10%. Pivotal dose (2x1014 GC/kg) participants in the Phase I/II exceeded expected disease trajectory on the North Star Ambulatory Assessment (NSAA) and other timed function tests at one year using multiple validated methods to estimate expected disease progression without treatment (n=7). Notably, five participants for whom functional data has been reported were aged eight or older at dosing, when functional decline is expected.
Current report
In October 2025, we announced that enrollment had completed in the pivotal portion of AFFINITY DUCHENNE, which was designed to enroll approximately 30 patients in the U.S. and Canada, and that we continue to enroll participants in the ongoing confirmatory trial.
Current report
In May 2026, we announced positive topline results from the pivotal Phase III AFFINITY DUCHENNE trial of RGX-202, including primary endpoint (n=30 at Week 12), interim safety (n=31) and interim functional data (n=9 at 12 months):
Current report
The primary endpoint was achieved with high statistical significance; 93% of patients achieved RGX-202 microdystrophin expression above 10% (p<0.0001).
Current report
RGX-202 was well-tolerated and continued to demonstrate a favorable interim safety profile.
Current report
RGX-202 demonstrated functional improvement and evidence of positively impacting disease trajectory at one year post-treatment, as measured by NSAA and timed function tests (Time to Stand, 10 Meter Walk-run, Time to Climb).
Current report
Statistically significant correlation between RGX-202 microdystrophin expression level and functional improvement, supporting validity of surrogate endpoint.
Current report
As reported in the May 2026 topline data update, we have enrolled over 20 patients in the confirmatory trial (n=30) evaluating RGX-202 in ambulatory patients aged one year and older, and we expect to complete dosing in all 60 patients across the pivotal and confirmatory trials by mid-2026.
Current report
In recent discussions with the FDA, the agency shared that the use of RGX-202 microdystrophin expression as a surrogate endpoint will be based on the correlation analysis with clinical outcomes, which has been clearly demonstrated in our interim data. While the FDA has recommended a randomized controlled trial, it has guided that externally controlled trials may be adequate for demonstrating substantial evidence of effectiveness, especially when the treatment effect is sufficiently large enough to overcome limitations of externally controlled trials. The FDA offered to review the RGX-202 data and alternative proposals. We plan to discuss this data with the FDA at a future meeting. We are also finalizing the trial design for a study of RGX-202 outside the United States to support global regulatory submissions.
Current report
Given the positive topline pivotal data, continued favorable safety profile, and statistically significant correlation between microdystrophin and functional improvement, we plan to pursue accelerated approval for RGX-202 and are preparing for a potential commercial launch in 2027.
Current report
We have completed manufacturing the first batches of RGX-202 intended for commercial supply and manufacturing is ongoing to build commercial inventory in advance of a potential commercial launch. The process performance qualification (PPQ) campaign is also complete.
Current report
RGX-121 for Treatment of MPS II
Current report
The initial Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) goal date was extended from November 9, 2025 to February 8, 2026. In January 2026, we announced that the FDA placed the RGX-121 program on partial clinical hold in relation to a serious adverse event in a patient treated in the Phase I/II trial of RGX-111, discussed in further detail below. The FDA cited the similarities in products, study populations, and shared risk between the clinical studies. The partial clinical hold on RGX-121 was lifted by the FDA on April 30, 2026.
Current report
In February 2026, we announced that the FDA issued a Complete Response Letter (CRL) for the RGX-121 BLA. The FDA stated in the CRL that it had agreed to the study protocol in principle and outlined several reasons for not approving the gene therapy, including uncertainty regarding the study eligibility criteria to adequately define a population with neuronopathic disease (vs. attenuated disease), the comparability of the natural history external control to the study population, and the appropriateness of CSF HS D2S6 as a surrogate endpoint reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. The CRL lists several potential paths forward, including a new study, treating additional patients and conducting longer-term follow up, and using an untreated control arm. Throughout active discussions during the BLA process, we believed we had addressed the points raised in the CRL through the submission of additional data and responses to numerous information requests. The FDA did not agree the data set provided substantial evidence of effectiveness to support approval of RGX-121 for the treatment of MPS II.
Current report
RGX-111 for Treatment of MPS I
Current report
In January 2026, we announced that the FDA placed the RGX-111 program on partial clinical hold following preliminary analysis of a single case of neoplasm (intraventricular CNS tumor) in a participant treated in the Phase I/II study. The case was identified during a routine brain MRI of an asymptomatic five-year-old participant who received intracisternal RGX-111 four years prior. Preliminary genetic analysis of the resected tumor detected an AAV vector genome integration event associated with overexpression of a proto-oncogene (PLAG1), which is known to be susceptible to chromosomal rearrangements. Final analysis of the resected tumor was conducted by an independent third-party lab and, as previously reported, detected an AAV vector genome integration event associated with overexpression of a PLAG1. Clonal integration of AAV vector elements into the PLAG1 gene was detected in the tumor tissue. Analyses supported classification as a PLAG1‑family neuroepithelial tumor and are consistent with the hypothesis that AAV vector integration at the PLAG1 site contributed to tumor formation. Of note, this participant had a background of factors that could have contributed to risk of oncogenic transformation. For example, the participant underwent unsuccessful stem cell transplant at four months of age, with loss of donor chimerism, and he received chemotherapeutics that may have contributed to DNA damage. The report concluded, based on formal neuropsychologic testing and developmental pediatrician assessment, that the patient’s neurocognitive development was above average, which indicated mitigation of MPS I disease, and the patient continued to do well. The analysis was published in The New England Journal of Medicine in May 2026.

Zolgensma and Itvisma Royalties
Current report
In mid-January 2026, licensed patents for Zolgensma under the Novartis License expired in the United States. We are entitled to continued royalties on net sales of Zolgensma in approximately 20 countries where licensed patents remain active. Licensed product made prior to patent expiration but sold after expiration may also be subject to royalties. Patents covering the use of Itvisma have issued in the United States and certain other countries and are licensed to Novartis Gene Therapies under the Novartis License. We are entitled to ongoing royalties on certain net sales of Itvisma in these territories.
Current report
License and Royalty Revenue. License and royalty revenue decreased by $82.0 million, from $87.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The decrease was primarily attributable to $70.0 million of upfront license revenue recognized under our collaboration with Nippon Shinyaku in the first quarter of 2025, as well as a decrease in royalty revenues for the first quarter of 2026. Combined Zolgensma and Itvisma royalties decreased by $11.9 million, from $17.0 million for the first quarter of 2025 to $5.1 million for the first quarter of 2026. Novartis reported combined Zolgensma and Itvisma sales of $302 million for the first quarter of 2026, as compared to $327 million for the first quarter of 2025. Zolgensma royalties for the first quarter of 2026 were $4.7 million, a decrease of $12.2 million from the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to the expiration of licensed patents in the United States in mid-January 2026. We are entitled to continued royalties on net sales of Zolgensma in approximately 20 countries where licensed patents remain active. Itvisma royalties for the first quarter of 2026 were $0.3 million. Itvisma was approved in the United States in the fourth quarter of 2025, with U.S. sales commencing in the first quarter of 2026. Licensed patents covering the use of Itvisma have issued in the United States and certain other countries, and we are entitled to ongoing royalties on certain net sales of Itvisma in these territories.
Current report
Service Revenue. Service revenue decreased by $0.7 million, from $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The decrease was primarily attributable to service revenue recognized under our collaboration with Nippon Shinyaku, which decreased from $1.8 million for the first quarter of 2025 to $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2026, largely driven by the performance of RGX-121 development and manufacturing services.
Current report
Cost of License and Royalty Revenues. Cost of license and royalty revenues increased by $7.6 million, from $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $11.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The increase was largely driven by a non-recurring charge of $10.0 million in the first quarter of 2026 related to a settlement with GlaxoSmithKline LLC (GSK) to resolve a dispute over sublicense fee obligations under our license agreement with GSK. For further information regarding the settlement agreement with GSK, please refer to Note 8, “Commitments and Contingencies—GlaxoSmithKline—GSK Settlement Agreement” to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Future Liquidity and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
Current report
We expect that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $150.5 million as of March 31, 2026 will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements, and are sufficient to meet our financial commitments and obligations into early 2027. This estimate is based on our current operating plan, and excludes the potential effects of any future financings or material milestone payments that may be received under our licensing and collaboration arrangements. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our capital resources sooner than expected. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within 12 months from the issuance date of our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which accompany this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our ability to continue as a going concern will depend heavily on the successful development, approval and commercialization of our product candidates and our ability to raise additional capital to fund operations. If we are unable to raise capital sufficient to meet our working capital needs in the future, we may be forced to delay expenditures, reduce the scope of our development activities or make other changes to our operating plans.

Wet AMD
Previous report
In January 2024, we announced data from the AAVIATE trial demonstrating ABBV-RGX-314 suprachoroidal delivery was well tolerated across 106 patients with no drug-related serious adverse events (SAEs) were reported. Patients treated with ABBV-RGX-314 continued to demonstrate stable best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central retinal thickness (CRT) at six months. In addition, a meaningful reduction in anti-VEGF treatment burden was observed following administration of ABBV-RGX-314. The highest reduction was seen in dose level 3, demonstrating an 80% reduction in annualized injection rate with 50% of patients remaining injection-free.
Previous report
As of July 29, 2024, ABBV-RGX-314 at dose level 3 with short course prophylactic steroid eye drops continues to be well tolerated with no drug-related SAEs and no cases of intraocular inflammation, endophthalmitis, vasculitis, retinal artery occlusion, choroidal effusion or hypotony. Mild episcleritis occurred in three patients, all resolved and completed treatment with topical steroids. There were no cases of elevated intraocular pressure.
Previous report
Based on this favorable safety profile, the Phase II AAVIATE trial continues to enroll a new cohort to evaluate ABBV-RGX-314 at dose level 4 (1.5x10e12 GC/eye). Patients in this cohort will also receive short course prophylactic steroid eye drops.
Previous report
DR and DME
Previous report
In August 2025, we announced new data from the ALTITUDE trial and plans to initiate a pivotal program. New ALTITUDE trial data demonstrate a durable safety and efficacy profile observed in patients with non-proliferative DR through two years with a single, in-office injection. As of June 9, 2025, ABBV-RGX-314 was well tolerated at dose levels 1, 2 and 3, with no drug-related SAEs. No intraocular inflammation was observed through two years at dose level 3 (1.0x10e12 GC/eye) (n=15) with short-course topical prophylactic steroids. In August 2025, we and AbbVie executed an amendment to our collaboration agreement and announced plans to initiate a pivotal two-part sham injection-controlled Phase IIb/III trial, with the primary endpoint being ≥2-step DRSS improvement at one year. Site selection for the Phase IIb/III trial is in progress.
Previous report
The ALTITUDE trial includes a new cohort of patients with center-involved DME evaluating ABBV-RGX-314 at dose level 4. Enrollment completed in this cohort in June 2025. DME is a vision-threatening complication of DR; an estimated 34 million people globally have DME. Patients will receive a one-time, in-office injection of ABBV-RGX-314 at dose level 4 (1.5x10e12 GC/eye) with short course prophylactic steroid eye drops.

AFFINITY DUCHENNE® is a multicenter, open-label Phase I/II/III trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability and clinical efficacy of a one-time intravenous dose of RGX-202 in patients with Duchenne aged one and older. The initiation of the pivotal study, which was designed to enroll approximately 30 patients in the U.S. and Canada, as well as positive interim safety and efficacy data from the Phase I/II portion of the study were announced in November 2024. These data included positive biomarker data from the first nine patients, which demonstrated consistent, robust microdystrophin and transduction, as well as positive initial functional data. Subsequent findings were presented in March 2025 at the 2025 Muscular Dystrophy Association Clinical & Scientific Conference, in June 2025 via a Company webcast and in October 2025 at the International Congress of the World Muscle Society. In sum, these data were positive and demonstrate potential for RGX-202 to serve as a differentiated gene therapy for Duchenne. As of May 2025, we had reported positive microdystrophin data on 12 patients and positive initial functional data from five patients. We also reported a favorable safety profile with no serious adverse events or adverse events of special interest observed (n=13).
Previous report
In October 2025, we announced that enrollment in the AFFINITY DUCHENNE pivotal trial had completed and that we continue to enroll participants in the planned confirmatory trial. We also announced that the first batches of RGX-202 intended for commercial supply have been manufactured at our Manufacturing Innovation Center and that we expect to imminently complete the Process Performance Qualification (PPQ) campaign. We expect to share topline data in early second quarter 2026 and submit a Biologics License Application (BLA) under the accelerated approval pathway in mid-2026.
Previous report
In February 2024, we announced that, in the pivotal phase of the Phase I/II/III CAMPSIITE® trial, RGX-121 achieved its primary endpoint, a reduction in cerebrospinal fluid Heparan sulfate (HS) levels of D2S6, a biomarker indicative of brain disease activity, with statistical significance. In September 2024, we announced positive data from the pivotal dose level of RGX-121 demonstrating long-term systemic effect. We plan to use levels of cerebrospinal fluid HS D2S6 as a surrogate endpoint reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit for accelerated approval.

AbbVie Collaboration for ABBV-RGX-314
Previous report
In August 2025, we and AbbVie entered into an amendment to the AbbVie Collaboration Agreement which modified the development plan and milestone payment structure for the ABBV-RGX-314 DR program. Under the amendment, we will conduct the first registration enabling trial for DR suprachoroidal (SCS) treatment as a combined Phase IIb/III trial performed in two parts (Part 1 and Part 2), and AbbVie will conduct the second registration enabling trial as a separate, standalone Phase III trial. In lieu of the $200.0 million milestone due to us under the original AbbVie Collaboration Agreement upon first patient dosed in the first registration enabling trial for DR SCS treatment, AbbVie will pay us $100.0 million upon first patient dosed in the Phase IIb/III trial for DR SCS treatment and an additional $100.0 million upon first patient dosed in the subsequent Phase III trial. Also pursuant to the amendment, AbbVie will lead a new Phase III randomized controlled study (the ACHIEVE Study) to assess the injection burden, adverse events, change in disease activity, and long-term preservation of visual acuity of ABBV-RGX-314 in adult participants with neovascular AMD. We will be responsible for our development expenses to conduct Part 1 of the Phase IIb/III trial for DR and the parties will share the development expenses related to Part 2 of the Phase IIb/III trial and the subsequent Phase III trial for DR in accordance with the existing terms of the AbbVie Collaboration Agreement. AbbVie will be responsible for all development expenses related to the ACHIEVE Study.

Revenue Recognition
Previous report
We recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606). ASC 606 requires entities to recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are performed to determine the appropriate revenue recognition for arrangements within the scope of ASC 606: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies the performance obligations.
Previous report
We apply the five-step model to contracts that are within the scope of ASC 606 only when it is probable that we will collect the consideration we are entitled to in exchange for the goods or services we transfer to the customer. At contract inception, for contracts within the scope of ASC 606, we assess the goods or services promised within each contract and determine those that are performance obligations and whether each promised good or service is distinct. We then recognize as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to respective performance obligations when (or as) the respective performance obligations are satisfied.
Previous report
We evaluate our contracts with customers for the presence of significant financing components. If a significant financing component is identified in a contract and provides a financing benefit to the customer, the transaction price for the contract is adjusted to account for the financing portion of the arrangement, which is recognized as interest income over the financing term using the effective interest method. In determining the appropriate interest rates for significant financing components, we evaluate the credit profile of the customer and prevailing market interest rates and select an interest rate which we believe would be charged to the customer in a separate financing arrangement over a similar financing term.
Previous report
We evaluate our agreements with collaboration partners to determine whether they are within the scope of ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements(ASC 808). For collaboration arrangements within the scope of ASC 808 that contain multiple elements, we identify the various transactions with the counterparty and determine if any unit of account is more reflective of a transaction with a customer and therefore should be accounted for within the scope of ASC 606. For transactions that are accounted for pursuant to ASC 808, an appropriate method of recognition and presentation is determined and consistently applied. For transactions that are accounted for pursuant to ASC 606, we apply the five-step model as described in our revenue recognition policies.
Previous report
Our license and collaboration agreements are accounted for as contracts with customers within the scope of ASC 606, with the exception of transactions for which the counterparty is determined not to be a customer. At the inception of each agreement, we determine the contract term for purposes of applying the requirements of ASC 606. Licenses are generally terminable at the option of the licensee with advance notice to us. For each license granted, we evaluate these termination rights to determine whether a substantive termination penalty would be incurred by the licensee upon termination. If the licensee incurs a substantive termination penalty upon termination, the contract term for revenue recognition purposes is generally equal to the stated term of the license, which is the life of the underlying licensed patents. Alternatively, if the licensee does not incur a substantive termination penalty upon termination, the contract term for revenue recognition purposes may be shorter than the stated term of the license, in which case the termination rights may be accounted for as contract renewal options.
Previous report
Performance obligations under our license and collaboration agreements may include (i) the delivery of intellectual property licenses, (ii) development and manufacturing services to be performed by us related to licensed products and (iii) options granted to purchase additional goods and services, to the extent the options convey material rights. At the inception of each license agreement which contains performance obligations for development or other services, we evaluate whether the license is distinct from the services, which requires judgment. In making this determination, we consider, among other things, the stage of development of the licensed products and whether the services will significantly impact further development of the licensed products. If it is determined that the license is not distinct from the services, the license is combined with the services into a single performance obligation. Agreements may provide licensees and collaborators with options to purchase additional goods or other services, including options to purchase commercial supply of licensed products. Options are evaluated at the inception of the agreement to determine whether they provide material rights to the customer. In making this determination, we consider whether the options are priced at an incremental discount to the standalone selling price of the underlying goods or services, in which case the option is considered to be a material right. Material rights are accounted for as separate performance obligations under the current arrangement.
Previous report
We evaluate the transaction price of our license and collaboration agreements at contract inception and at each reporting date. The transaction price includes the fixed consideration payable to us over the contract term, as well as any variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur in the future. Fixed consideration under the agreements may include up-front and annual fees payable to us over the contract term and fixed fees for development and other services. Variable consideration under the agreements may include development and sales-based milestone payments, payments for development and other services, sublicense fees and royalties on sales of licensed products. Consideration contingent upon the exercise of options by the customer is excluded from the transaction price and not accounted for as part of the arrangement until the option is exercised.
Previous report
The transaction price of our license and collaboration arrangements is allocated to the underlying performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling prices and recognized as revenue when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied. Variable consideration payable based on services performed is allocated directly to the performance obligation for such services. Consideration allocated to performance obligations for the delivery of intellectual property licenses is recognized as license and royalty revenue in full upon the delivery of the license. Consideration allocated to performance obligations for development and manufacturing services is recognized as service revenue as we perform the services. Consideration allocated to performance obligations for material rights to purchase additional goods and services is recognized as revenue upon the satisfaction of the performance obligations underlying the optional goods and services purchased by the customer. Service revenue is recognized using a measure of progress that best reflects the pattern of satisfaction of the performance obligations. At each reporting date, we re-evaluate the measure of progress and adjust service revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis to reflect our best estimate of the services performed to date versus the total services to be performed under the arrangement.
Previous report
Development milestone payments are payable to us upon the achievement of specified development milestones. At the inception of each license agreement that contains development milestone payments, we evaluate whether the milestones are probable of achievement and estimate the amount to be included in the transaction price using the most likely amount method. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in the future, milestone payments are included in the transaction price. Milestone payments contingent on the achievement of development milestones that are not within our control or the control of the licensee, such as regulatory approvals, are not considered probable of being achieved and are excluded from the transaction price until the milestone is achieved. At each reporting date, we re-evaluate the probability of achievement of each outstanding development milestone and, if necessary, adjust the transaction price for any milestones for which the probability of achievement has changed due to current facts and circumstances. The increase to the transaction price as a result of any such adjustments is then allocated to the underlying performance obligations in a manner similar to the allocation of the initial transaction price and, to the extent the performance obligations are satisfied, recognized as revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period of the adjustment.
Previous report
Royalties on sales of licensed products, sales-based milestone payments, including milestones payable upon first commercial sales of licensed products, and sublicense fees based on the receipt of certain fees by licensees from any sublicensees are excluded from the transaction price of each license and recognized as license and royalty revenue in the period that the related sales or sublicenses occur, provided that the associated license has been delivered to the licensee.
Previous report
Royalty revenue to date consists primarily of royalties on net sales of Zolgensma, which is a licensed product under our license agreement with Novartis Gene Therapies for the development and commercialization of treatments for SMA. We recognize royalty revenue from net sales of Zolgensma in the period in which the underlying products are sold by Novartis Gene Therapies, which in certain cases may require us to estimate royalty revenue for periods of net sales which have not yet been reported to us. Estimated royalties are reconciled to actual amounts reported in subsequent periods, and any differences are recognized as an adjustment to royalty revenue in the period the royalties are reported.
Previous report
We receive payments from licensees and collaborators based on the billing schedules established in the associated agreements. Amounts recognized as revenue which have not yet been received from the customer are recorded as accounts receivable when our rights to the consideration are conditional solely upon the passage of time. Amounts recognized as revenue which have not yet been received from customers are recorded as contract assets when our rights to the consideration are not unconditional. Contract assets are recorded as other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets if the consideration is expected to be realized within 12 months from the reporting date, or as other assets if the consideration is expected to be realized in periods beyond 12 months from the reporting date. If a licensee elects to terminate a license prior to the end of the license term, the licensed intellectual property is returned to us and any consideration recorded as accounts receivable or contract assets which is not contractually payable by the licensee is charged off as a reduction of revenue in the period of the termination. Amounts received by us prior to the delivery of underlying performance obligations are deferred and recognized as revenue upon the satisfaction of the performance obligations. Deferred revenue which is not expected to be recognized within 12 months from the reporting date is recorded as non-current on the consolidated balance sheets.

License and Royalty Revenue. License and royalty revenue decreased by $0.4 million, from $24.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 to $23.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to Zolgensma royalty revenues, which decreased by $0.3 million, from $23.9 million for the third quarter of 2024 to $23.6 million for the third quarter of 2025. Novartis reported Zolgensma sales of $301 million for the third quarter of 2025, a decrease of 2% from the third quarter of 2024, driven by lower incidence of SMA during the period.
Previous report
Service Revenue. Service revenue increased by $5.9 million, from $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 to $6.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025.

We intend to devote the majority of our current capital to preclinical research, clinical development, seeking regulatory approval of our product candidates and, if approved, commercialization of our product candidates, as well as additional capital expenditures needed to support these activities. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development and commercialization of gene therapy product candidates, we are unable to estimate the total amount of operating expenditures and capital outlays necessary to complete the development of our product candidates. Additionally, our estimates are based on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we may use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect which could accelerate our liquidity needs.

Previous wording
Our net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by $69.8 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2024, largely as a result of the $110.0 million up-front fee received from Nippon Shinyaku in March 2025. We expect to continue to incur regular net cash outflows from operations for the foreseeable future as we continue the development and advancement of our product candidates and other research programs.
Current wording
Our net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased by $109.8 million from the three months ended March 31, 2025, largely driven by the $110.0 million up-front fee received from Nippon Shinyaku in March 2025 and an increase in operating expenses in the first quarter of 2026. We expect to continue to incur regular net cash outflows from operations for the foreseeable future as we continue the development and advancement of our product candidates and other research programs.
Previous wording
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, our net cash used in operating activities of $141.5 million consisted of a net loss of $175.9 million and unfavorable changes in operating assets and liabilities of $6.1 million, offset by adjustments for non-cash items of $40.5 million. The changes in operating assets and liabilities include a decrease in total accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and other liabilities of $7.5 million, which was driven largely by decreases in accrued personnel costs, sublicense fees payable to licensors and amounts payable to suppliers as of the end of the period. Other changes in operating working capital occurred in the normal course of business. Adjustments for non-cash items primarily consisted of stock-based compensation expense of $28.9 million and depreciation and amortization expense of $12.2 million.
Current wording
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, our net cash used in operating activities of $76.2 million consisted of a net loss of $90.1 million and unfavorable changes in operating assets and liabilities of $1.5 million, offset by adjustments for non-cash items of $15.4 million. The changes in operating assets and liabilities include a decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $16.7 million, which was driven largely by decreases in accrued personnel-related expenses, royalties and sublicense fees, and external research and development services. The unfavorable changes in operating assets and liabilities were partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $18.2 million, which was driven largely by royalties receivable on net sales of Zolgensma. Other changes in operating working capital occurred in the normal course of business. Adjustments for non-cash items primarily consisted of stock-based compensation expense of $8.6 million, depreciation and amortization expense of $3.9 million and non-cash interest expense of $3.8 million.

Adjustments for non-cash items primarily consisted of stock-based compensation expense of $26.2 million and depreciation and amortization expense of $11.7 million. The changes in operating assets and liabilities include an increase in deferred revenue of $34.3 million, which was primarily attributable to the deferred portion of the $110.0 million up-front payment received under our collaboration with Nippon Shinyaku in the first quarter of 2025. The favorable changes in operating assets and liabilities were partially offset by an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $9.5 million, which was largely driven by an increase in net cost reimbursement due from AbbVie under our ABBV-RGX-314 collaboration, and an increase in accounts receivable of $7.1 million, which was driven largely by reimbursable costs due from Nippon Shinyaku under our collaboration for RGX-121 and RGX-111. Other changes in operating working capital occurred in the normal course of business.

Adjustments for non-cash items primarily consisted of stock-based compensation expense of $8.5 million and depreciation and amortization expense of $4.0 million, partially offset by the accretion of discounts on marketable debt securities during the period. The changes in operating assets and liabilities include an increase of $39.8 million in deferred revenue, which was driven primarily by the deferred portion of the $110.0 million up-front payment received under our collaboration with Nippon Shinyaku in the first quarter of 2025. The favorable changes in operating assets and liabilities were partially offset by a decrease in total accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $18.1 million, which was driven largely by decreases in accrued personnel-related expenses, royalties and external research and development services, as well as a total increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $4.3 million, which was driven primarily by increases in prepaid software licenses and net cost reimbursement due from AbbVie under our ABBV-RGX-314 collaboration.

Previous wording
We have incurred cumulative losses since our inception and had an accumulated deficit of $1.06 billion as of September 30, 2025. Our transition to recurring profitability is dependent upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support our cost structure, which depends heavily on the successful development, approval and commercialization of our product candidates. We do not expect to achieve such revenues, and expect to continue to incur losses, for at least the next several years. We expect to continue to incur significant research and development and general and administrative expenses for the foreseeable future as we continue the development of, and seek regulatory approval for, our product candidates. Subject to obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses for product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution. Additionally, we expect to continue to incur capital expenditures associated with building out additional laboratory and manufacturing capacity to further support the development of our product candidates and potential commercialization efforts. As a result, we will need significant additional capital to fund our operations, which we may obtain through one or more equity offerings, debt financings or other third-party funding, including potential strategic alliances and licensing or collaboration arrangements.

Following the CRL, we entered into discussions with FDA senior leadership in March 2026 and filed a Formal Dispute Resolution Request which is pending. We plan to continue to work with the FDA to address the CRL and discuss potential paths forward for the RGX-121 program. Potential approval of the BLA for RGX-121 could result in receipt of a Rare Pediatric Disease Priority Review Voucher (PRV), assuming the statutory criteria are met. If approved, RGX-121 would be the first approved gene therapy and one-time treatment for MPS II.
