Comparison of Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024
Revenue

| Total net revenue | | $10,254 | | $10,296 | | $(42) | | $17,853 | | $12,604 | | $5,249 | ||||||
The increase in LOQTORZI net revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in the prior year was due to volume growth of LOQTORZI, which launched in December 2023. Other revenue decreased in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the prior year periods due to $6.3 million forthe sale of rights to commercialize toripalimab within Canada on June 27, 2024.
We expect net revenue from continuing operations in 2025 to be higher than in 2024 because of continued growth of LOQTORZI.

The increase in cost of goods sold from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to volume growth of LOQTORZI, which launched in December 2023.
We expect cost of goods sold from continuing operations for 2025 to be higher than 2024 because of continued growth of LOQTORZI.
Research and Development Expense
| · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · | ||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| · · Three Months Ended June 30, · · Six Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||||||

| Research and development | | $26,306 | | $20,598 | | $5,708 | | $50,662 | | $49,022 | | $1,640 |
The increase in research and development expense from continuing operations in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the prior period was primarily due to the following:
| ● | an increase of $4.8 million for the development of casdozokitug; and |
| ● | an increase of $4.0 million for the development of CHS-114. |
The increase was partially offset by the following:
| ● | a decrease of $1.6 million in facilities, supplies and materials and other infrastructure related expenses to support our research and development programs; and |
| ● | a decrease of $1.0 million in co-development costs for CHS-006 and toripalimab resulting from reducing the scope of the development plan for toripalimab in the United States and the termination of the TIGIT Program announced in January 2024. |
The increase in research and development expense from continuing operations in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the prior period was primarily due to the following:
| ● | an increase of $9.0 million for the development of CHS-114; and |
| ● | an increase of $6.8 million for the development of casdozokitug. |
The increase was partially offset by the following:
| ● | a decrease of $9.1 million in co-development costs for toripalimab and CHS-006 resulting from reducing the scope of the development plan for toripalimab in the United States and the termination of the TIGIT Program announced in January 2024; |
| ● | a decrease of $1.7 million in facilities, supplies and materials and other infrastructure related expenses to support our research and development programs; |
| ● | a decrease of $1.7 million in personnel and stock-based compensation expense primarily due to fewer employees; and |
| ● | a decrease of $1.5 million for fewer expenditures during the quarter for the development of CHS-1000. |
We expect our research and development expense in 2025 to be higher than 2024 due to continued investments in our immuno-oncology pipeline.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense

| Selling, general and administrative | | $26,039 | | $27,515 | | $(1,476) | | $52,064 | | $67,747 | | $(15,683) |
The decrease in selling, general and administrative expense from continuing operations in the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to a lower average headcount which resulted in reductions of $2.1 million in employee-related costs including stock-based compensation, partially offset by an increase in professional fees of $1.0 million.
The decrease in selling, general and administrative expense from continuing operations in the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to the $6.8 million net impairment charge in the first quarter of 2024 relating to the write-off of the net carrying value of the out-license intangible asset of $10.6 million and the final remeasurement of the CVR liability of $3.8 million related to NZV930 to its fair value of zero, a lower average headcount which resulted in reductions of $5.5 million in employee-related costs including stock-based compensation, lower professional fees of $2.2 millionand a reduction of $1.3 million in facilities, supplies and materials and other infrastructure related expenses to support our commercial infrastructure.
We expect our selling, general and administrative expense from continuing operations for the full year 2025 to be lower than the full year 2024 primarily as a result of decreased operating costs and headcount due to divestitures.
Interest Expense
| · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · | ||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Interest expense | | $2,277 | | $4,062 | | $(1,785) | | $4,427 | | $7,180 | | $(2,753) |
The decrease in interest expense from continuing operations in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to prepaying the remaining $75.0 million of the principal amount due under the 2027 Term Loans on May 8, 2024, partially offset by new interest on the $38.7 million 2029 Term Loan and the LOQTORZI portion of the Revenue Purchase and Sale Agreement, each commencing May 8, 2024.
Interest expense from discontinued operations was $0.5 million and $1.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $3.5 million and $9.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and related to the 2026 Convertible Notes, the UDENYCA portion of the Revenue Purchase and Sale Agreement, and $175.0 million of the $250.0 million principal amount due under the 2027 Term Loans.
We expect interest expense from continuing operations to be lower in 2025 than 2024, primarily as a result of repaying the remaining $75.0 million principal amount of the 2027 Term Loans during the second quarter of 2024.
Loss on Debt Extinguishment

| Loss on debt extinguishment | | $— | | $12,630 | | $(12,630) | | $— | | $12,630 | | $(12,630) |
The $12.6 million loss on debt extinguishment in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 resulted from the payoff of the 2027 Term Loans in May 2024, and the charge included the write-off of the remaining debt discount and debt issuance costs, the prepayment premium fee, the make-whole interest payment, and lender fees.

| Other income (expense), net | | $2,901 | | $1,467 | | $1,434 | | $3,088 | | $4,336 | | $(1,248) |
Other income (expense), net from continuing operations in the three months ended June 30, 2025 changed favorably compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the increase in interest income of $2.1 million.
Other income (expense), net from continuing operations in the six months ended June 30, 2025 changed unfavorably compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to a decrease in foreign exchange gains of $1.0 million, a reduction of certain TSA reimbursements classified in other income of $1.0 million, and the change in fair value of the LOQTORZI Royalty Fee Derivative Liability of $0.8 million, partially offset by an increase in interest income of $1.6 million.

The increases compared to the prior year periods were primarily due to the $339.1 million net gain on the UDENYCA divestiture in April 2025, partially offset by the $22.9 million net gain on the YUSIMRY Sale in June 2024, the $10.3 million charge for loss on debt extinguishment related to the 2026 Convertible Notes and the UDENYCA Buy-out, and lower net revenue driven by the 2024 divestitures. Total net revenues attributable to our divested products, UDENYCA, CIMERLI and YUSIMRY, which are reflected in discontinued operations, were $23.1 million and $54.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $55.2 million and $129.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The increase in the six-month period was partially offset by the $153.6 million gain on sale of the CIMERLI divestiture in the first quarter of 2024 and a $11.8 million charge in the first quarter of 2025 for the change in fair value of the Royalty Fee Derivative Liability related to UDENYCA.

| (2) | We used a portion of the proceeds of the UDENYCA Sale, which closed on April 11, 2025, to repay substantially all of the outstanding 2026 Convertible Notes and to buy out the right to receive royalties on the net sales of UDENYCA in accordance with the Revenue Purchase and Sale Agreement. |
As of June 30, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $237.6 million and an accumulated deficit of $1.3 billion. We have generated significant operating losses in all the years since our inception except for certain periods that had gains from divestitures and 2020 and 2019. We currently have one commercial product, LOQTORZI, which generated $10.0 million in net revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2025. Cash in excess of immediate requirements is invested in accordance with our investment policy, primarily with a view to liquidity and capital preservation. As of June 30, 2025, our investment in cash, cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities are primarily held in money market accounts, commercial paper and corporate notes, U.S. Treasury securities, and U.S. government agency securities. We have funded our operations primarily through sales of our common stock, issuance and incurrence of debt, the Revenue Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Sale Transactions and sales of our products.
The following is a summary of recent key liquidity events and financing transactions:
| ● | During the second quarter of 2025, we used a portion of the proceeds from the UDENYCA Sale to: (1) repay substantially all of the $230 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2026 Convertible Notes, and (2) buy out the royalty rights on the net sales of UDENYCA, in accordance with the Revenue Purchase and Sale Agreement, resulting in a $47.7 million payment. |
| ● | On April 11, 2025, we completed the UDENYCA Sale and received $483.4 million in cash, inclusive of $118.4 million for UDENYCA product inventory. In addition, we are also eligible to receive two additional Earnout Payments of $37.5 million each, provided that certain minimum UDENYCA Net Sales thresholds are met during specified periods after the closing of the UDENYCA Sale. |
| ● | On June 27, 2024, we sold to Apotex an exclusive license under our rights to toripalimab to commercialize toripalimab within Canada for $6.3 million. |
| ● | On June 26, 2024, we sold our YUSIMRY immunology franchise to HKF for $40.0 million in cash and the assumption of $17.0 million of inventory purchase commitments by HKF. |
| ● | On May 8, 2024, we entered into the 2029 Term Loan for the principal amount of $38.7 million, with proceeds of $37.5 million, net of original issuance discount, which was used as part of the full repayment of the 2027 Term Loans. For a summary of the material terms of our 2029 Term Loan, please refer to “Note 8. Financial Liabilities” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. |
| ● | On May 8, 2024, we entered into the Revenue Purchase and Sale Agreement, receiving $37.5 million by selling rights to receive future payments based on a percentage of U.S. net sales of UDENYCA and LOQTORZI. The proceeds were used as part of the full repayment of the 2027 Term Loans. |
| ● | On April 1, 2024, cash from the CIMERLI Sale was used to repay $175.0 million of the total principal balance of $250.0 million of the 2027 Term Loans. |
| ● | On March 1, 2024, we sold our CIMERLI ophthalmology franchise to Sandoz for $187.8 million in cash, inclusive of $17.8 million for CIMERLI product inventory and prepaid manufacturing assets. |
We may utilize our ATM Offering from time to time in order to sell our common stock. As of June 30, 2025, we had approximately $64.9 million of our common stock remaining available for sales under the ATM Offering.
We believe that our available cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, product sales, and ATM Offering proceeds received to date will be sufficient to fund our planned expenditures and meet our obligations for at least the twelve months following our financial statement issuance date.
We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Further, our operating plan may change, and we may need additional funds to meet operational needs and capital requirements for product development and commercialization sooner than planned. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development and commercialization of our product candidates and the extent to which we may enter into additional agreements with third parties to participate in their development and commercialization, we are unable to estimate the amounts of increased capital outlays and operating expenditures associated with our current and anticipated research and development activities, and on-going and future licensing and collaboration obligations. We may need to raise additional funds in the future; however, there can be no assurance that such efforts will be successful or that, if they are successful, the terms and conditions of such financing will be favorable. Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including the following:
| ● | cash proceeds from product sales; |
| ● | the payment of interest, principal and royalties related to our financial liabilities; |
| ● | the costs of manufacturing, distributing and marketing our product; |
| ● | the cost of manufacturing clinical drug supplies and establishing commercial supplies of our product candidates and product; |
| ● | the percentage of customers that continue to purchase our product and that do not switch to products made by our competitors; |
| ● | the terms and timing of any other collaborative, licensing and other arrangements that we have established or may establish; |
| ● | the timing, receipt and amount of sales, profit sharing or royalties, if any, from any product candidates that are approved in the future; |
| ● | the number and characteristics of product candidates that we pursue; |
| ● | the scope, rate of progress, results and cost of our clinical trials, preclinical testing and other related activities; |
| ● | the costs of acquiring originator comparator materials and manufacturing preclinical study and clinical trial supplies and other materials from CMOs and related costs associated with release and stability testing; |
| ● | whether we receive either of the Earnout Payments from the sale of the UDENYCA Business; |
| ● | the cost, timing and outcomes of regulatory approvals; and |
| ● | the extent to which we divest, acquire or invest in businesses, products or technologies. |
For further discussion of risks related to our financial condition and capital requirements, please see “Risk Factors— Risks Related to Our Financial Condition and Capital Requirements.”
Contingent Milestones
We have obligations to make future payments to third parties that become due and payable upon the achievement of certain development, regulatory and commercial milestones (such as clinical trial achievements, the filing of a Biologics License Application (“BLA”), approval by the FDA or product launch). These milestone payments and other similar fees are contingent upon future events and therefore are only recorded when it becomes probable that a milestone will be achieved or other applicable criteria will be met. Because the achievement of these milestones had not reached the threshold for recognition as of June 30, 2025, such contingencies were not recorded in our financial statements.
The following presents a summary of our active partnerships and collaborations that have material contingent regulatory and sales milestones as of June 30, 2025:
| | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Counterparty | | Description | | Remaining Potential Aggregate Milestone Amount |
| Junshi Biosciences | | LOQTORZI | | $355.0 million (1) |
| Adimab LLC | | Casdozokitug | | $10.5 million |
| Vaccinex, Inc. | | CHS-114 | | $14.5 million |
| (1) | $65.0 million relates to regulatory milestones for indications that are not currently the subject of our clinical trials and $290.0 million relates to sales milestones. |
Contingent Value Rights
We have recorded a contingent consideration liability for the fair value of the potential payments under the CVR Agreement in connection with the Surface Acquisition, which as of June 30, 2025, consisted of the CVR associated with GlaxoSmithKline Intellectual Property No. 4 Limited. Unless terminated earlier, the GSK Agreement expires on a licensed product-by-licensed product and country-by-country basis on the later of ten years from the date of first commercial sale or when there is no longer a valid patent claim or regulatory exclusivity covering such licensed product in such country. The potential payments are only due if wefirst receive milestone- or royalty-based payments under certain license agreements or upfront payments pursuant to ex-U.S. licensing agreements. Payments to CVR holders can be in the form of cash, stock or a combination of cash and stock. The CVR liability is recorded in other liabilities, non-current on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2025.
Other Commitments
We enter into contracts in the normal course of business with CROs for preclinical research studies and clinical trials, research supplies and other services and products for operating purposes. We have also entered into agreements with several CMOs for the manufacture and clinical drug supply of our commercial and product candidates. Our non-cancelable purchase commitments as of June 30, 2025 were $8.5 million, as outlined in Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
There have been no significant changes to our leases during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the disclosure in our 2024 Form 10-K.
Summary Statement of Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash flows for discontinued and continuing operations on a combined basis as follows:** **

| Net increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | | $90,906 | | $56,349 | ||
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities
Cash used in operating activities of $72.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to adjusting net income by the net gain on Sale Transactions of $339.1 million to reflect that transaction as an investing activity, and due to changes in operating assets and liabilities of $12.8 million, partially offset by adjustments for non-
cash items including change in fair value of derivatives of $12.6 million, stock-based compensation expense of $10.8 million, loss on debt extinguishment of $10.3 million and other non-cash adjustments of $4.6 million.
Cash provided by operating activities of $13.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to net income of $90.0 million adjusted for changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $62.9 million, non-cash items including stock-based compensation expense of $14.6 million, loss on debt extinguishment of $12.6 million, impairment of out-license asset net of CVR liability remeasurement of $6.8 million, and other non-cash adjustments of $3.9 million, partially offset by the net gain on Sale Transactions of $177.7 million.
Net cash provided by investing activities
Cash provided by investing activities of $445.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to $483.4 million cash received for the UDENYCA Sale, partially offset by $20.7 million in purchases of investments in marketable securities, the second out of two $12.5 million milestone payments to Junshi Biosciences and $4.7 million in retention bonus payments in connection with the CIMERLI Sale.
Cash provided by investing activities of $230.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to cash proceeds of $187.8 million from the CIMERLI Sale, cash proceeds of $40.0 million from the YUSIMRY Sale, proceeds from sale of investments in marketable securities of $8.7 million, and proceeds from maturities of investments in marketable securities of $6.2 million, partially offset by the first of two $12.5 million milestone payments to Junshi Biosciences.
Net cash used in financing activities
Cash used in financing activities of $281.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was due to $233.2 million for repayment of substantially all the 2026 Convertible Notes and $47.7 million for the UDENYCA Buy-out.
Cash used in financing activities of $187.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to $260.4 million in payments to fully repay the 2027 Term Loans (excluding interest which has been presented as an operating activity) and $2.5 million in tax payments related to net share settlement of RSUs. These payments were partially offset by $37.1 million of proceeds from the 2029 Term Loan, net of debt discount and issuance costs, $36.5 million of proceeds from the Revenue Purchase and Sale Agreement, net of issuance costs, and $1.5 million of proceeds from the ATM Offering, net of issuance costs.
Discontinued operations
Cash flows from continuing operations and discontinued operations have been presented together in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, operating cash flows of discontinued operations were primarily related to the adjustment for the net gain on UDENYCA Sale of $339.1 million, partially offset by a loss on debt extinguishment of $10.3 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, operating cash flows of discontinued operations were primarily related to the adjustment for the net gain on Sale Transactions of $177.7 million and an increase in UDENYCA inventory which resulted in a net cash outflow of $15.5 million.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported revenue generated and expense incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources.
There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the critical accounting estimates described in our 2024 Form 10-K. We believe that the critical accounting estimates discussed in the 2024 Form 10-K are meaningful to understanding our historical and future performance, as these estimates relate to the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and assumptions.
