Current report
Some companies that have experienced volatility in the trading price of their shares have been the subject of securities class action litigation. Any lawsuit to which we are a party, with or without merit, may result in an unfavorable judgment. We also may decide to settle lawsuits on unfavorable terms. Any such negative outcome could result in payments of substantial damages or fines, damage to our reputation or adverse changes to our business practices. Defending against litigation can be expensive and time-consuming and could divert resources and management’s attention from our core business. Furthermore, during the course of litigation, there could be negative public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments, which could have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.

Although we recorded net income for the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, we have otherwise incurred net losses since inception in April 2016. We had net loss of $231.9 million and $203.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $991.7 million.

Previous wording
As of June 30, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and investments of $892.1 million. Based upon our current operating plan, we believe that this amount will fund our current operating plans for at least the next 12 months. However, our operating plan may change as a result of many factors currently unknown to us, and we may need to seek additional financing to fund our long-term operations sooner than planned. Moreover, it is particularly difficult to estimate with certainty our future revenue and expenses given the dynamic and rapidly evolving nature of our business. We may also need to raise additional capital to complete the development and commercialization of our product candidates and fund certain of our existing manufacturing and other commitments. Other unanticipated costs may also arise. Because the design and outcome of our clinical studies are highly uncertain, we cannot reasonably estimate the actual amount of resources and funding that will be necessary to successfully complete the development and commercialization of our product candidates, if approved, or any future product candidates that we develop.

Previous wording
General economic conditions, both inside and outside the U.S., including capital market volatility, interest rate and currency rate fluctuations, and economic slowdown or recession, as well as geopolitical events, including civil or political unrest, terrorism, insurrection or war (such as the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and Eastern Europe), and also investor concerns regarding the U.S. or international financial systems, have in the past resulted in, and may in the future cause, a significant disruption of financial markets. If the disruption persists and deepens, we could experience an inability to access additional capital or increased costs of financing through higher interest rates or costs or tighter financial and operating covenants, which could in the future negatively affect our capacity for certain corporate development transactions or our ability to make other important, opportunistic investments.

Previous wording
In December 2024, the FDA revoked the emergency use authorization (EUA) that we and GSK had received in May 2021 for the sale of sotrovimab to treat COVID-19. Even prior to the FDA’s revocation of our EUA, sotrovimab had not been authorized for use in any U.S. region for the treatment of COVID-19 since the FDA’s exclusionary revisions to our EUA in March and April 2022. Due to the evolving COVID-19 landscape and based on discussions with the FDA, we and GSK do not plan to file a BLA.

Previous wording
While sotrovimab still maintains emergency authorization, temporary authorization or marketing approval (under the brand name Xevudy®) for early treatment of COVID-19 in certain territories outside of the United States, we did not earn meaningful revenue from sales of sotrovimab during the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. Moreover, foreign regulatory authorities may impose similar limitations to the FDA on the use of sotrovimab in jurisdictions where sotrovimab has been granted EUA, temporary authorization or other marketing approval, which could further reduce revenue. For example, although certain countries outside the United States. continue to maintain access to 500 mg IV while noting that the clinical efficacy is unknown or uncertain against existing and emerging Omicron variants, we cannot predict whether other countries will further limit the use of sotrovimab. There are no assurances that we will secure future supply commitments from governments for sotrovimab, or that sotrovimab will be effective against any new COVID-19 variants or subvariants. Even if we and GSK were to file a BLA or marketing applications in other jurisdictions, it is possible that the FDA and other regulatory authorities may not grant sotrovimab full marketing approval for the treatment of COVID-19, or that any such marketing approvals, if granted, may have similar or other significant limitations on its use. If the FDA does not reauthorize the use of sotrovimab in the U.S., and/or if countries outside of the U.S. continue to limit its use, we may be unable to sell sotrovimab in or outside of the U.S.

Previous wording
We have invested a significant portion of our time and financial resources in the development, in-licensing and acquisition of our product candidates and have initiated clinical studies for multiple product candidates. Accordingly, our business is dependent on our ability to successfully complete clinical development of, obtain regulatory approval for, and successfully commercialize our product candidates, if approved, in a timely manner. We may face unforeseen challenges in our product development strategy, and we can provide no assurances that our product candidates will be successful in clinical studies or will ultimately receive regulatory approval. Prior to obtaining approval to commercialize any product candidate in the United States or abroad, we must demonstrate with substantial evidence from well-designed registrational clinical studies, and to the satisfaction of the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities, that such product candidate is safe and effective to treat its intended indications. Results from preclinical studies can be interpreted in different ways. Even if we believe that the preclinical or clinical data for our product candidates are promising, such data may not be sufficient to support approval for further development, manufacturing or commercialization of our product candidates by the FDA and other regulatory authorities. The FDA or other comparable foreign regulatory authorities may also require us to conduct additional preclinical or clinical studies for our product candidates, either prior to or post-approval, or may object to elements of our clinical development program and require us to alter them.

Previous wording
Furthermore, even if we obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates, we may still need to develop a commercial organization, establish a commercially viable pricing structure and obtain approval for coverage and adequate reimbursement from third-party and government payors, including government health administration authorities. As a company, we have no prior experience in these areas. If we are unable to successfully commercialize our product candidates or if there is insufficient demand for our product candidates, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to continue our business.

Previous wording
Furthermore, we intend to seek approval to market our product candidates outside of the U.S., and may also do so for future product candidates. If we market approved products outside of the U.S., we expect that we will be subject to additional risks in commercialization. As a company, we have no prior experience in these areas. In addition, there are complex regulatory, tax, labor and other legal requirements imposed by many of the individual countries in which we may operate, with which we will need to comply. Many biopharmaceutical companies have found the process of marketing their products in foreign countries to be challenging.
Current wording
Furthermore, we may seek marketing approval for our current and future product candidates outside of the United States. We have limited prior experience in marketing approved products outside of the United States, and marketing products in foreign countries would subject us to additional risks. There are complex regulatory, tax, labor and other legal requirements imposed by many of the individual countries in which we may operate, with which we will need to comply, and such efforts may be expensive, time-consuming and challenging.

Previous wording
Success in preclinical testing and early-stage clinical studies does not ensure that later clinical studies will generate similar results or otherwise provide adequate data to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of a product candidate. Certain of our clinical programs have not yielded positive results in late-stage studies (such as our Phase 2 clinical study of VIR-2482 for the prevention of symptomatic influenza A illness, which did not meet primary or secondary efficacy endpoints, as announced in July 2023), and our product candidates currently under development may similarly fail to meet efficacy endpoints or otherwise show the desired characteristics in clinical development sufficient to obtain regulatory approval, despite positive results in preclinical studies or having successfully advanced through early-stage clinical studies. We have and may continue to commit substantial financial resources with respect to clinical studies that may not be successful, and we may not be able to recoup those investments.

Previous wording
Before obtaining marketing approval from regulatory authorities for the sale of our product candidates, we must complete preclinical development and then conduct extensive clinical studies to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidates in humans. Clinical testing is expensive, is difficult to design and implement, can take many years to complete and is inherently uncertain as to outcome. We do not know whether our planned clinical studies will begin or enroll on time, will be conducted as planned, will need to be redesigned or will be completed on schedule, if at all.

We do not know whether our planned clinical studies will begin or enroll on time, be conducted as planned, need to be redesigned or be completed on schedule, if at all.
Previous wording
A failure or significant delay of one or more clinical studies can occur at any stage of testing. For example, during initial dose escalation studies, we, the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities have in the past and may in the future impose restrictions relating to chemistry, manufacturing and control (CMC) standards, and such restrictions could then delay or limit our evaluation of a product candidate and its subsequent advancement to late-stage studies. Also, the availability of superior or competitive therapies coupled with changing standards of care could limit our ability to perform placebo-controlled studies and/or require us to enroll a larger number of subjects to address competing treatments. Moreover, preclinical and clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations and analyses, and many companies that have believed their product candidates performed satisfactorily in preclinical and clinical studies have nonetheless failed to obtain marketing approval of their products. Any of these or other unforeseen events that we may experience prior to, during, or as a result of clinical studies could delay or prevent us from receiving marketing approval and ultimately commercializing our product candidates.

Previous wording
Any inability to successfully complete preclinical and clinical development could result in additional costs to us or impair our ability to generate revenue from future product sales or other sources. In addition, if we make manufacturing or formulation changes to our product candidates, we may need to conduct additional testing to bridge our modified product candidate to earlier versions. Clinical trial delays could also shorten any periods during which we may have the exclusive right to commercialize our product candidates, if approved, or allow our competitors to bring competing products to market before we do, which could impair our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates and may harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Previous wording
We integrate AI in our efforts todevelop and engineer next-generation antibodies, and we might utilize AI in the future in connection with drug discovery activities. AI may be difficult to deploy successfully due to operational and technical issues inherent in such methods. In particular, AI algorithms might utilize machine learning and predictive analytics which may lead to flawed, biased or inaccurate results, which could lead to ineffective product or target candidates and exposure to competitive and reputational harm. In addition, any latency, disruption, or failure in our AI operations or infrastructure could result in failures, delays or errors in our discovery and development of next-generation antibodies or other investigational products. Developing, testing and deploying resource-intensive AI systems may also require additional investment and increase our costs, and there is no guarantee that our investment in such systems will lead to more effective or efficient discovery or development of antibodies or other investigational products, or lead to eventual regulatory approval or commercialization of any new products.

We currently focus our product development on product candidates for the treatment and prevention of serious infectious diseases, cancer and other serious conditions. Our eligible patient population, pricing estimates and available coverage and reimbursement may differ significantly from the actual market addressable by our product candidates. Our estimates of the number of people who have these diseases, the subset of people with these diseases who have the potential to benefit from treatment with our product candidates, and the market demand for our product candidates are based on our beliefs and analyses. These estimates have been derived from a variety of sources, including the scientific literature, patient foundations or market research, and may prove to be incorrect. Further, new studies may change the estimated incidence or prevalence of the diseases we are targeting. The FDA or the comparable foreign regulatory authorities also may approve or authorize for marketing a product candidate for a more limited indication or patient population than we originally request. Additionally, the availability of superior or competitive therapies from our competitors could negatively impact or eliminate market demand for our product candidates. If the market opportunities for our product candidates are smaller than we estimate, it could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Previous wording
As a result of these factors, our competitors may achieve patent protection or obtain regulatory approval or authorization of their products before we are able to, which could result in our competitors establishing a strong market position before we are able to enter the market. Our competitors may also develop therapies that are safer, more effective, have fewer or less severe side effects, are more convenient, more widely accepted or less expensive than ours, and may also be more successful than we are in manufacturing, marketing or obtaining reimbursement their products. These advantages could render our product candidates obsolete or non-competitive before we can recover the costs of such product candidates’ development and commercialization. For additional information regarding our competitors, see the section titled “Competition” in “Part I, Item 1. Business” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Even if we obtain regulatory approval in particular jurisdictions, the applicable regulatory authorities may still impose significant restrictions on the indicated uses or marketing of our product candidates, or impose ongoing requirements for potentially costly post-approval studies, post-market surveillance or patient or drug restrictions. Additionally, the holder of an approved BLA is required to comply with FDA rules and is subject to FDA review and periodic inspections, in addition to other potentially applicable federal and state laws, to ensure compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) and adherence to commitments made in the BLA.

Previous wording
If we or any regulatory agency discovers previously unknown problems with a product such as adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or problems with the facility where the product is manufactured, such regulatory agency may impose restrictions relative to that product or the manufacturing facility, including requiring recall or withdrawal of the product from the market or suspension of manufacturing for that jurisdiction. Moreover, product labeling, advertising and promotion for any approved product will be subject to regulatory requirements, continuing regulatory review and review by other government agencies and third parties. For example, a company may not promote “off-label” uses for its drug products. An off-label use is the use of a product for an indication that is not described in the product’s FDA-approved or authorized label in the United States or for uses in other jurisdictions that differ from those approved by the applicable regulatory agencies. Physicians, on the other hand, may prescribe products for off-label uses. Although the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory agencies do not regulate a physician’s choice of drug treatment made in the physician’s independent medical judgment, they do restrict promotional communications from companies or their sales force with respect to off-label uses of products for which marketing clearance has not been issued.
