Previous report
Collaboration revenue includes recognition of our profit-share from the sales of sotrovimab pursuant to our 2020 collaboration agreement with GlaxoSmithKline plc (together with its affiliates, GSK, and 2020 GSK Agreement). As the lead party for all manufacturing and commercialization activities, GSK incurs all of the manufacturing, sales and marketing expenses and is the principal on sales transactions with third parties. As the agent, we recognize our contractual share (72.5%) of the profit-sharing amounts as revenue, based on sales net of various estimated deductions such as rebates, discounts, chargebacks, credits and returns, less cost of sales and allowable expenses (including manufacturing, distribution, medical affairs, selling, and marketing expenses) in the period the sale occurs.
Previous report
To record collaboration revenue, we utilize certain information from our collaboration partner, including actual net product sales and costs incurred for sales activities, and make key judgments based on business updates related to commercial and clinical activities. Our contractual share of the profit-sharing amounts is subject to potential future adjustments to allowable expenses, which we account for as a form of variable consideration. In previous years, GSK reported to us certain adjustments to allowable manufacturing expenses, which we had previously reserved as a constraint on our cumulative profit-sharing amounts. GSK may continue to adjust allowable manufacturing expenses in future periods. We evaluate the latest available facts and circumstances at each reporting period to re-assess whether any portion of profit-sharing amounts should continue to be constrained. Actual results could materially differ from estimates.
Previous report
In 2025, we expect a nominal amount of collaboration revenue, if any, from our 2020 GSK Agreement, and we may incur negative collaboration revenue related to costs for ongoing required support efforts that our partner GSK leads.

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on powering the immune system to transform lives by discovering and developing medicines for serious infectious diseases and cancer. At Vir Bio, we have a bold vision – powering the immune system to transform lives.

Previous wording
Our clinical development pipeline consists of investigational therapies targeting hepatitis delta virus (HDV) and various solid tumors. In HDV, ECLIPSE registrational program is fully underway with all three trials initiated. Should the ECLIPSE program yield positive results that support regulatory approval and subsequent commercial launch, we believe the combination has the potential to be a new standard of care for hepatitis delta patients, for whom approved treatment options are either limited or unavailable. In oncology, we are advancing phase 1 clinical studies for our dual-masked TCEs: VIR-5818 in patients with HER2-expressing tumors and VIR-5500 in patients with PSMA-expressing metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). We are also advancing our third TCE program, VIR-5525, in patients with EGFR-expressing tumors, with the first patient dosed in phase 1 clinical studies in July 2025. We are also developing therapeutic candidates in HIV cure, and other solid tumors, leveraging our expertise and platform strengths.

Other than sotrovimab, we have not obtained regulatory approval for our product candidates, and we do not expect to generate any significant revenue from the sale of our product candidates until we complete clinical development, submit regulatory filings and receive approvals from the applicable regulatory bodies for such product candidates, if ever. In December 2024, the FDA revoked the emergency use authorization (EUA) granted to sotrovimab in May 2021. Although certain countries outside the U.S. continue to maintain access to 500 mg IV while noting that the clinical efficacy is unknown or uncertain against existing and emerging variants, we cannot predict whether other countries will further limit the use of sotrovimab. We do not expect meaningful collaboration revenue in the future from the sale of sotrovimab for the treatment of COVID-19.
