Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Xencor, Inc.:
Opinions on the Consolidated Financial Statements and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Xencor, Inc. and subsidiary (the Company) as of December 31, 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We also have audited the adjustments to the 2024 and 2023 consolidated financial statements to retrospectively apply the change in segment composition, as described in Note 14. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. We were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2024 or 2023 consolidated financial statements of the Company other than with respect to the adjustments and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the 2024 or 2023 consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
Basis for Opinions
The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Sufficiency of audit evidence over the liability related to the sale of future royalties
As discussed in Notes 1 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company records the liability under the Ultomiris Royalty Sale Agreement with OCM Life Sciences Portfolio LP at carrying value using the effective interest method. The liability and related interest expense are based on current estimates of future royalties to be paid over the life of the agreement. The Company periodically reassesses the estimate of total future royalty payments and prospectively adjusts the effective interest rate used to recognize non-cash interest expense. The liability related to the sale of future royalties was $119.7 million as of December 31, 2025.
We identified the evaluation of the sufficiency of audit evidence over the carrying value of the liability related to the sale of future royalties as a critical audit matter. Subjective auditor judgment was required to evaluate the sufficiency of audit evidence obtained because of the level of audit effort associated with evaluating the carrying value of the liability related to the sale of future royalties.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We applied auditor judgment to determine the nature and extent of procedures to be performed over the carrying value of the liability related to the sale of future royalties. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to management’s valuation process, including the determination of future royalties to be paid. We inspected and reviewed the key terms of the Ultomiris Royalty Sale Agreement and assessed the relevance and reliability of the third-party data used in management’s estimation of royalties on future sales of Ultomiris. We performed sensitivity analyses over the estimated Ultomiris future royalties and evaluated the impact of changes in the estimated future royalties on the carrying value of the liability. We evaluated the sufficiency of audit evidence obtained by assessing the cumulative results of the audit procedures and potential bias in the accounting estimate, including the appropriateness of the nature and extent of such evidence.
Evaluation of accrued research and development costs
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company engages other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on its behalf. The Company estimates preclinical and clinical trial expenses based on the services performed according to the related agreements. Significant judgments and estimates are made by the Company to determine the costs incurred during the period that have not been invoiced.
We identified the evaluation of certain accrued research and development costs as a critical audit matter. Challenging auditor judgment was required to evaluate the nature and extent of evidence available to determine the degree of completion of research and development programs when the Company has not yet been invoiced or otherwise notified of the actual cost.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to management’s research and development accrual process. We inquired with the Company’s personnel responsible for overseeing the research and development activities to understand the contract terms together with related executed change orders and the progress of the activities including project milestones. For certain accrued research and development costs, we evaluated management’s estimate of the amount to be accrued by examining agreements, invoices, and third-party confirmations. We also examined payments processed after period end and evaluated whether services received prior to period end were included in the Company’s estimate of costs incurred as of December 31, 2025.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to retrospectively apply the changes in the Company’s disclosures about segment reporting and related information in Note 14 and, accordingly we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance about whether such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. Those adjustments were audited by other auditors.
