Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Xencor, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in California in 1997 and reincorporated in Delaware in September 2004. The Company is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing engineered antibody therapeutics to treat patients with cancer and autoimmune diseases, who have unmet medical needs. The Company uses its protein engineering capabilities to design new technologies and XmAb® drug candidates with improved properties. The Company advances these candidates into clinical-stage development, where the Company is conducting Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies for a broad portfolio of programs. Based on the results of these studies, the Company determines which programs to advance into later stages of development and potentially commercialization, which to partner in order to access complementary resources to optimize development, and which to discontinue.

Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The interim consolidated financial statements of Xencor, Inc. are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applicable to interim periods. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments of a normal recurring nature have been made to present fairly the Company’s financial position, the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Certain note disclosures that are normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted as they are not required for interim reporting purposes. Readers are urged to review the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for more complete descriptions and discussions. Operating results and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.

Gale Therapeutics Inc. (“Gale”)

The interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025 included the accounts of Xencor, Inc. and Gale, a variable interest entity for which the Company was the primary beneficiary. Up through January 20, 2025, the Company owned or was exposed to less than 100% of the economics, and accordingly, the Company recorded net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss equal to the percentage of the economic or ownership interests retained in such entity by the respective noncontrolling party. Effective January 20, 2025, the Company obtained 100% of the economic interests in Gale and no longer recognized a noncontrolling interest in its consolidated financial statements.

Effective April 29, 2025, Gale was merged into the Company in a transaction between entities under common control. The Company completed a common-control transfer of assets and liabilities with Gale. The assets and liabilities were recognized at historical carrying amounts; no fair value measurement was applied. This transaction did not result in a change in reporting entity and was accounted for prospectively, with no adjustments to prior periods.

Income Tax

The Company recorded $0.3 million and $0.4 million of income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s deferred income tax assets, consisting primarily of capitalized R&D under IRC Section 174, net operating loss and research and development tax credit carryforwards, have been fully offset by a valuation allowance.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no changes to the significant accounting policies disclosed in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company does not expect any recently issued accounting standards, other than those disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, to have a material impact on its financial results.

Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Alexion”)

In January 2013, the Company entered into an Option and License Agreement (the “Alexion Agreement”) with Alexion, which was acquired by AstraZeneca in 2021. Under the terms of the Alexion Agreement, the Company granted to Alexion an exclusive research license, with limited sublicensing rights, to make and use the Company’s Xtend technology to evaluate and advance compounds. Alexion exercised its rights toone target program, ALXN1210, which is now marketed as Ultomiris®.

Under the Alexion Agreement, no further milestone payments are expected. The Company is entitled to receive royalties in the low single digits based on a percentage of net sales of Ultomiris sold by Alexion, its affiliates or its sublicensees. Alexion’s royalty obligations apply on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis and continue until the expiration of the last-to-expire valid licensed patent covering the applicable product in such country.

On December 9, 2025, a patent term extension related to the Xtend™ Fc domain for antibodies targeting C5 was announced, extending the expected royalty term for Ultomiris® net sales into December 2028 in the United States. On March 4, 2026, Alexion informed the Company that it had taken the position that it does not owe additional royalties for U.S. sales of Ultomiris and does not intend to make future payments for sales in the U.S. under the parties’ agreement. The Company disputes this position and is evaluating its options.

In the first quarter of 2026, the Company evaluated the effect of Alexion’s notice, including the variable consideration constraint and the sales‑ and usage‑based royalty guidance applicable to licenses of intellectual property. The

Company concluded that royalties on disputed U.S. sales should be constrained to zero until the uncertainty is resolved. Accordingly, the Company recorded a reduction of $6.6 million to royalty revenue and a corresponding reduction to the related receivable in the quarter ended March 31, 2026. There was no cash impact from this entry in the period. Recognition of undisputed ex‑U.S. royalties was unaffected and continues in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606’s sales‑ and usage‑based royalty guidance.

The Company will recognize royalty revenue related to disputed U.S. sales upon resolution of the uncertainty, when it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur, or upon receipt of payments that are not subject to refund. The ultimate outcome and timing of resolution are uncertain, and the Company cannot reasonably estimate the amount or timing of any recovery, if any, as of March 31, 2026.

On November 3, 2023, the Company entered into a royalty sale agreement (the “Ultomiris Royalty Sale Agreement”) with OCM Life Sciences Portfolio LP (“OMERS”), under which OMERS acquired the rights to certain royalties associated with the existing license relating to Ultomiris.

Under the Alexion Agreement, the Company recognized non-cash royalty revenue of $1.5 million and $15.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, the Company recorded $8.1 million in accounts receivable based on estimated royalties due under the arrangement. Payment of this receivable will be made directly to OMERS. See Note 6.

Incyte Corporation (“Incyte”)

In June 2010, the Company entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “MorphoSys Agreement”) with MorphoSys AG (“MorphoSys”). Under the MorphoSys Agreement, the Company granted MorphoSys an exclusive worldwide license to its patents and know-how to research, develop and commercialize the XmAb5574 product candidate (subsequently renamed MOR208 and tafasitamab) with the right to sublicense under certain conditions. In February 2024, Incyte assumed all of MorphoSys’ right, title and interest in the MorphoSys Agreement and acquired exclusive global development and commercialization rights to tafasitamab. If certain developmental, regulatory and sales milestones are achieved, the Company is eligible to receive future milestone payments and royalties from Incyte.

In February 2025, the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) accepted Incyte’s submission of a supplemental biologics license application (“BLA”), triggering a $12.5 million milestone payment to the Company, and approved the application in June 2025, triggering an additional $25.0 million milestone payment to the Company. Both milestone payments were received by the Company in 2025. In addition, Incyte dosed two patients in a Phase 2 study on December 29, 2025, one patient with immune thrombocytopenia and one patient with autoimmune hemolytic anemia, triggering a $4.0 million milestone payment to the Company, which was recognized as revenue in 2025 and collected in January 2026.

Under the MorphoSys Agreement, the Company is eligible to receive up to $195.0 million in developmental, regulatory and sales milestones, as well as royalties on net sales, subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement.

On November 3, 2023, the Company entered into a royalty sale agreement (the “Monjuvi Royalty Sale Agreement”) with OMERS, under which OMERS acquired the rights to certain royalties associated with the existing license relating to Incyte. The $41.5 million of milestone payments the Company recognized in 2025 is not subject to the Monjuvi Royalty Sale Agreement.

Under the MorphoSys Agreement, the Company recognized non-cash royalty revenue of $2.9 million and $2.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, the Company recorded $3.9 million in accounts receivable based on estimated royalties due under the arrangement. Payment of this receivable will be made directly to OMERS. See Note 6.

Vir Biotechnology, Inc. (“Vir Bio”)

In 2019, the Company entered into a Patent License Agreement (the “Vir Bio Agreement”) with Vir Bio, granting a non-exclusive license to its Xtend technology for up totwo targets, including tobevibart. In March 2025, Vir Bio initiated a Phase 3 study for tobevibart, triggering a $2.0 million milestone payment to the Company, which was paid in the second quarter of 2025.

In March 2020, the Company entered into a second Patent License Agreement (the “Second Vir Bio Agreement”) with Vir Bio, granting a non-exclusive license to its Xtend technology to extend the half-life of novel antibodies Vir Bio developed as potential treatments for patients with COVID-19, including sotrovimab. Under the terms of the Second Vir Bio Agreement, Vir Bio is responsible for all research, development, regulatory and commercial activities for the antibodies, and the Company is eligible to receive royalties on the net sales of approved products in the mid-single digit percentage range. Vir Bio and its marketing partner, GSK, began recording sales for sotrovimab beginning in June 2021. In

March 2022, the FDA deauthorized sotrovimab’s use in all U.S. regions due to increases in the proportion of COVID-19 cases caused by the Omicron BA.2 subvariant.

The Company didnot recognize royalty revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 or 2025. Under the Vir Bio Agreement, the Company is eligible to receive up to $65.0 million in developmental, regulatory and sales milestones, as well as royalties on net sales, subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement.

The increase in unrealized losses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily attributable to the lower fair value of the Company’s equity investment in Zenas BioPharma, Inc.

  1. Fair Value of Measurements

The Company employs a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The Company’s valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value and the definition of the three levels (Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3) of the fair value hierarchy are disclosed in Note 1, Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Part II, “Item 8. Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including during periods of market disruption. In periods of market disruption, the ability to observe prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition could cause an instrument to be reclassified from Level 1 to Level 2, or from Level 2 to Level 3. The Company recognizes transfers between levels at either the actual date of the event or a change in circumstances that caused the transfer. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company did not have any financial assets or financial liabilities based on Level 3 measurements.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company:

  1. Liabilities Related to the Sales of Future Royalties

Ultomiris Royalty Sale Agreement

On November 3, 2023, the Company and OMERS entered into the Ultomiris Royalty Sale Agreement. Pursuant to the Ultomiris Royalty Sale Agreement, OMERS acquired the rights to a portion of royalties and milestones earned after July 1, 2023 associated with the existing license relating to Ultomiris® (ravulizumab-cwvz) in exchange for an upfront payment of $192.5 million. Pursuant to the Ultomiris Royalty Sale Agreement and subject to the Company’s existing license with Alexion, OMERS acquired the right to receive: (i)100% of royalties payable on past and future sales related to Ultomiris that occurred from July 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025; (ii) up to $35.0 million annually in royalties on future sales related to Ultomiris that occur from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028, with any royalties in excess of $35.0 million reverting to the Company; (iii) up to $12.0 million annually in royalties on future sales related to Ultomiris that occur from and after January 1, 2029, with any royalties in excess of $12.0 million reverting to the Company; and (iv) $18.0 million of a certain future sales based milestone payment pursuant to the existing license with Alexion, which was paid in the fourth quarter of 2023.

As discussed in Note 2, in March 2026, Alexion notified the Company that it does not believe additional U.S. royalties are owed and does not intend to make future payments for U.S. sales. The Company has applied the variable consideration constraint under ASC 606 and constrained U.S. royalty revenue to zero pending resolution of the dispute.

Monjuvi Royalty Sale Agreement

On November 3, 2023, the Company and OMERS entered into the Monjuvi Royalty Sale Agreement. Pursuant to the Monjuvi Royalty Sale Agreement, OMERS acquired the rights to a portion of royalties earned after July 1, 2023 associated with the existing license relating to Monjuvi®/Minjuvi® (tafasitamab-cxix) in exchange for an upfront payment of $22.5 million. Pursuant to the Monjuvi Royalty Sale Agreement and subject to the Company’s existing license with Incyte, OMERS acquired the right to receive up to $29.3 million in royalties earned after July 1, 2023 related to sales of Monjuvi/Minjuvi, with any royalties in excess of $29.3 million paid to OMERS reverting to the Company.

The Company has evaluated the terms of both Ultomiris and Monjuvi Royalty Sale Agreements and concluded, in accordance with the relevant accounting guidance, that the Company accounted for both transactions as debt and the proceeds recorded as liabilities related to the sale of future royalties on its consolidated balance sheets.

The Company records the obligations at their carrying value using the effective interest method. In order to amortize the liabilities related to the sale of future royalties, the Company utilizes the prospective method to estimate the future royalties to be paid by the Company to the counterparty over the life of the arrangement. Under the prospective method, a new effective interest rate is determined based on the revised estimate of remaining cash flows. The new rate is the discount rate that equates the present value of the revised estimate of remaining cash flows with the carrying amount of the debt, and it will be used to recognize non-cash interest expense for the remaining periods. The Company periodically assesses the amount and the timing of expected royalty payments using a combination of internal projections and forecasts from external sources. The estimates of future net product sales (and resulting royalty payments) are based on key assumptions such as future sales forecasts and other significant events. To the extent such payments are greater or less than the Company’s initial estimates or the timing of such payments is different than its original estimates, the Company will prospectively adjust the amortization of the royalty financing obligations and the effective interest rate. As of March 31, 2026, the estimated effective interest rates were 16.8% and 15.6% for Ultomiris and Monjuvi Royalty Sale Agreements, respectively.

The following table presents the activities with respect to the liabilities related to the sales of future royalties:

  1. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

From time to time, the Company may be subject to claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company evaluates each matter and assesses its potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from a legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, the Company records an accrual for the estimated loss. Because the outcome of legal proceedings is inherently uncertain, significant judgment is required in assessing the likelihood of a loss and whether the amount is reasonably estimable. The Company’s assessments and any recorded accruals are based on information available at the time of evaluation. As additional information becomes available, the Company re-evaluates its estimates and may adjust recorded liabilities accordingly.

The Company is currently a party to an action initiated by Merus N.V. (“Merus”) in the District of Delaware alleging that the Company’s manufacture, use, offer for sale, sale and/or importation of common light chain antibodies and heterodimeric antibodies infringes certain claims of Merus patents. Merus filed its complaint against the Company on August 5, 2024. Merus asserted claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 9,944,695, 9,358,286 and 11,926,859. Merus sought a judgment of patent infringement, an order enjoining the Company from infringing those patents, a damages award (together with interest), a declaration of willful infringement, and a finding that this case is exceptional. On October 10, 2024, the

Company filed a motion to dismiss the Merus complaint with prejudice under Rule 12(b)(6), in which the Company argued that all of the activities accused of infringement are covered by the 35 U.S.C.§ 271(e)(1) safe harbor. Merus filed its response to the Company’s motion on October 31, 2024, and the Company replied to Merus’ response on November 14, 2024. On September 30, 2025, the Court granted the motion to dismiss Merus’ complaint, but permitted Merus to file an amended complaint. On November 11, 2025, Merus filed a first amended complaint, and asserted claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 9,944,695, 9,358,286, 11,926,859, and 12,123,043. On December 16, 2025, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the first amended complaint on the same grounds previously asserted. Briefing on the motion to dismiss is ongoing, and the Court held a hearing on the motion to dismiss on February 17, 2026. On February 11, 2025, the Company filed for inter partes review of Merus’ U.S. Patent Nos. 9,358,286 and 11,926,859 before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s Patent and Trial Appeal Board (“PTAB”) seeking a finding that certain claims of those patents are unpatentable. On September 26, 2025, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Appeal Board granted institution of the inter partes review. A schedule for the inter partes review has been set, and oral argument is scheduled for June 24, 2026. The Company believes it has strong defenses to Merus’ claims, including defenses of invalidity and/or non-infringement—some of which have already been accepted by the district court and preliminarily accepted by the PTAB, but there is no guarantee that the Company will ultimately prevail.

Commitments

The Company is party to certain license agreements that obligate it to make future payments to third parties, which may include sublicense fees, royalties and milestone payments contingent upon the achievement of specified development and commercialization events. Because the occurrence, timing and amounts of these potential payments are not currently probable or reasonably estimable, they have not been recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

In addition, the Company has entered into agreements with various third-party vendors for research, development and manufacturing services. These agreements generally provide for future payments contingent upon the vendors’ delivery of goods or performance of services. Such commitments are not recorded until the related goods or services are received.

On February 25, 2026, the Company filed an automatic universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-270030) as a well-known seasoned issuer as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which became effective upon filing (the “Shelf Registration Statement”). The Shelf Registration Statement allows the Company to offer an indeterminate amount of securities, including equity securities, debt securities, warrants, rights, units and depositary shares, from time to time as described therein.

Expected volatility (2)54.5%50.8%
Risk-free interest rate (3)3.8%4.1%
Expected dividend yield (4)—%—%
Underlying stock price$12.35$14.13

(1) The computation of expected term was determined based on the option holders’ past exercise patterns.

(2) Volatility is estimated based on volatility average of the Company’s common stock price.

(3) The risk-free interest rate is based on that of the U.S. Treasury yields with equivalent terms in effect at the time of the grant.

(4) The dividend yield is zero as the Company currently does not pay a dividend.
