ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our selected consolidated financial data and the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere herein. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors including, but not limited to, those set forth under the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Forward-Looking Statements", our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements.
For the discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, please refer to Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on March 20, 2025.
Overview
We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative antibody-based therapeutics for the treatment of cancer. We generate our pipeline of product candidates from our proprietary suite of antibody technology platforms. We are currently developing therapeutics utilizing multiple modalities, including antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and multi-specific antibodies (which we refer to as DART and TRIDENT molecules). The combination of our technology platforms and antibody engineering expertise has allowed us to generate promising product candidates – three of which have received marketing approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) – and to enter into several strategic collaborations with global biopharmaceutical companies. These collaborations have provided us with over $1.6 billion of non-dilutive funding since our inception in 2000, and have enabled us to leverage the additional expertise of our collaborators to advance the development of multiple partnered product candidates. In addition, we operate a commercial-scale cGMP antibody manufacturing facility in our Maryland headquarters to support our clinical programs. We also provide outsourced contract development and manufacturing services to our collaborators and other third parties for commercial and clinical products to offset a significant portion of the operating costs of this facility.
We are currently advancing three proprietary product candidates in clinical development: lorigerlimab, a bispecific DART molecule that targets checkpoint inhibitors PD-1 and CTLA-4; MGC026, an ADC that targets B7-H3 and delivers a novel topoisomerase I inhibitor (TOP1i)-based linker-payload, and MGC028, an ADC that targets ADAM9 and delivers a novel TOP1i-based linker-payload. We are also actively developing multiple preclinical-stage ADC and next generation T-cell engager programs.
We and our partners are developing or commercializing product candidates for which we retain certain economic rights. These include three products approved by the FDA: ZYNYZ® (retifanlimab-dlwr), an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) that we out-licensed; MARGENZA® (margetuximab-cmkb), an anti-HER2 mAb that we sold to a partner; and TZIELD® (teplizumab-mzwv), an anti-CD3 mAb that we sold to a partner. We are also collaborating with Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Gilead) on the development of MGD024, a bispecific DART antibody targeting CD123 and CD3 that utilizes our next-generation T-cell engager technology, as well as two additional undisclosed pre-clinical DART and TRIDENT development programs.
Our operations to date have concentrated on developing our technology platforms, identifying potential product candidates, undertaking preclinical studies, conducting clinical trials, developing collaborations, operating manufacturing facilities, business planning and raising capital. We only began generating revenues from the sale of products in 2021. We have financed our operations primarily through the public and private offerings of our securities, and collaborations with other biopharmaceutical companies. Although it is difficult to predict our funding requirements, we anticipate that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2025, combined with projected and anticipated future payments from our partners, and anticipated savings from our cost-reduction initiatives, will support our cash runway into late 2027. We have implemented, and will continue to evaluate and execute, various cost-saving measures that are intended to extend our financial runway while continuing to progress our pipeline.
Through December 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $1.2 billion. We expect that over the next several years this deficit will increase as we continue to incur research and development expense in connection with our ongoing activities and several clinical trials.
Macroeconomic Conditions
The global economy, credit markets and financial markets have and may continue to experience significant volatility as a result of significant worldwide events, including, fluctuating interest rates, and geopolitical upheaval and tariffs or other
56
restrictions imposed by the United States government or governments of other nations (collectively, the Macroeconomic Conditions). These Macroeconomic Conditions have and may continue to create supply chain disruptions, inventory disruptions, and fluctuations in economic growth, including fluctuations in employment rates, inflation, energy prices and consumer sentiment. It remains difficult to assess or predict the ultimate duration and economic impact of the Macroeconomic Conditions. Prolonged uncertainty with respect to Macroeconomic Conditions could cause further economic slowdown or cause other unpredictable events, each of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.
Collaborations
We pursue a balanced approach between product candidates that we develop ourselves and those that we develop with our collaborators. Under our strategic collaborations to date, we have received significant non-dilutive funding and continue to have rights to additional funding upon completion of certain research, achievement of key product development milestones and royalties and other payments upon the commercial sale of products. Our current collaborations include the following:
•Incyte Corporation (Incyte). We have an exclusive global collaboration and license agreement with Incyte for retifanlimab, a monoclonal antibody that inhibits PD-1 (Incyte License Agreement). Under this agreement, as amended, Incyte has obtained exclusive worldwide rights for the development and commercialization of retifanlimab in all indications, while we retain the right to develop our pipeline assets in combination with retifanlimab. We received an upfront payment of $150.0 million and milestone payments totaling $215.0 million from Incyte through December 31, 2025, including $100.0 million received in August 2024. We are eligible to receive up to an additional $210.0 million in development and regulatory milestones and $330.0 million in commercial milestones. We are eligible for tiered royalties of 15% to 24% on any global net sales (see Note 10, Royalty Monetization Arrangement, in our consolidated financial statements for further information about ZYNYZ royalties), and we have the option to co-promote retifanlimab with Incyte. We retain the right to develop our pipeline assets in combination with retifanlimab, with Incyte commercializing retifanlimab and us commercializing our asset(s), if any such potential combinations are approved. We also have an agreement with Incyte under which we are entitled to manufacture a portion of Incyte’s global commercial supply of retifanlimab (Incyte Commercial Supply Agreement).
•Gilead. In 2022, we and Gilead entered into an exclusive option and collaboration agreement (Gilead Agreement) to develop and commercialize MGD024 and create bispecific cancer antibodies using our DART and TRIDENT platforms and undertake their early development under a maximum of two separate bispecific cancer target research programs. Under the Gilead Agreement, we are continuing the ongoing phase 1 trial for MGD024 according to a development plan, during which Gilead will have the right to exercise an option granted to Gilead to obtain an exclusive license to develop and commercialize MGD024 and other bispecific antibodies of ours that bind CD123 and CD3 (CD123 Option). The agreement also granted Gilead the right, within its first two years, to nominate a bispecific cancer target set for up to two research programs conducted by us and to exercise separate options to obtain an exclusive license for the development, commercialization and exploitation of molecules created under each research program (Research Program Option). As part of the Gilead Agreement, Gilead paid us a non-refundable upfront payment of $60.0 million and we are eligible to receive up to $1.7 billion in target nomination, option fees, and development, regulatory and commercial milestones, assuming Gilead exercises the CD123 Option and Research Program Option, successfully develops and commercializes MGD024 or other CD123 products developed under the agreement, and products result from the two additional research programs. Assuming exercise of the CD123 Option, we will also be eligible to receive tiered, low double-digit royalties on worldwide net sales of MGD024 (or other CD123 products developed under the agreement) and assuming exercise of the Research Program Option, a flat royalty on worldwide net sales of any products resulting from the two research programs.In 2023, Gilead nominated the first of the two research programs contemplated in the Gilead Agreement (First Research Program) and paid us a $15.7 million nomination fee. We granted Gilead a research license, and the parties agreed on a research plan for the First Research Program under which we will provide research and development services. In January 2024, the parties amended the Gilead Agreement to revise certain matters related to intellectual property in the performance of the research plans under the agreement. In June 2024, Gilead paid us variable consideration totaling $3.3 million upon achievement of a research plan milestone. On August 30, 2024, the parties entered into a second letter agreement under which Gilead will pay us to conduct certain research and which extends the period for Gilead to select its second research target combination. In November 2025, Gilead nominated the second of the two research programs contemplated in the
57
Gilead Agreement (Second Research Program) and we granted Gilead a research license. Gilead also exercised their exclusive option to obtain a license to exploit the research molecule and research product with respect to the Second Research Program. Gilead paid us a total of $25.0 million related to the nomination and option exercise in December 2025.
Financial Operations Overview
Revenue
Our revenue consists of the following:
•revenue from collaborative and other agreements which includes amounts recognized relating to upfront nonrefundable payments for licenses or options to obtain future licenses, amounts earned by performing development and manufacturing services, research and development funding and milestone payments earned under our collaboration and license agreements with our strategic collaborators;
•contract manufacturing revenue which is earned from providing development and manufacturing services to third parties and manufacturing their drug substance;
•product sales, net which reflects sales of MARGENZA. Product revenue is recorded net of applicable reserves for variable consideration, including discounts and other allowances. In November 2024, we sold global rights to MARGENZA to TerSera Therapeutics, LLC (TerSera) for an upfront payment of $40.0 million, and accordingly, no longer have product sales; and
•sales-based royalty revenue that is recognized when the related sales occur or when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied or partially satisfied.
Cost of Manufacturing Services
Cost of manufacturing services consists of the costs to provide manufacturing services to produce certain bulk drug substance under manufacturing and clinical supply agreements with third parties, including salaries and benefits and related stock-based compensation, materials, overhead and other related costs.
Research and Development Expense
Research and development expense consists of expenses incurred in performing research and development activities. These expenses include conducting preclinical experiments and studies, clinical trials, manufacturing efforts and regulatory filings for all product candidates, and other indirect expenses in support of our research and development activities. We capture research and development expense on a program-by-program basis for our product candidates and recognize these expenses as they are incurred. The following are items we include in research and development expense:
•employee-related expenses, such as salaries and benefits;
•employee-related overhead expenses, such as facilities and other allocated items;
•stock-based compensation expense to employees engaged in research and development activities;
•depreciation of laboratory and manufacturing equipment, computers and leasehold improvements;
•fees paid to consultants, subcontractors, clinical research organizations (CROs) and other third party vendors for work performed under our preclinical and clinical trials including, but not limited to, investigator grants, laboratory work and analysis, database management, statistical analysis, and other items;
•amounts paid to vendors and suppliers for laboratory supplies;
•internal and third party costs related to manufacturing clinical trial materials, including vialing, packaging and testing;
•license fees and other third party vendor payments related to in-licensed product candidates and technology; and
•costs related to compliance with regulatory requirements.
58
It is difficult to determine with certainty the duration and completion costs of our current or future preclinical programs and clinical trials of our product candidates, or if, when or to what extent we will generate revenues from the commercialization and sale of any of our product candidates that obtain regulatory approval. The duration, costs and timing of clinical trials and development of our product candidates will depend on a variety of factors, including the uncertainties of future clinical trials and preclinical studies, uncertainties in clinical trial enrollment rates and significant and changing government regulation. In addition, the probability of success for each product candidate will depend on numerous factors, including competition, manufacturing capability and commercial viability. We will determine which programs to pursue and how much to fund each program in response to the scientific and clinical success of each product candidate, as well as an assessment of each product candidate's commercial potential.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative expense consists of salaries and related benefit costs for employees in our executive, finance, legal and intellectual property, business development, human resources, information technology and other support functions. Selling, general and administrative expense also includes legal and professional fees and included costs incurred under the arrangement with our commercialization partner, Eversana Life Science Services, LLC in 2023 and 2024.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our management's discussion and analysis of financial conditions and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheets and the reported amount of the revenue and expenses recorded during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. We review and evaluate these estimates on an on-going basis. These assumptions and estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and amounts that have been recorded as revenues and expenses. Actual results and experiences may differ from these estimates. We did not make any material changes to these assumptions during the year ended December 31, 2025, and do not expect any material changes in the near term to the underlying assumptions. If we were to adjust our assumptions, the results of any material revisions would be reflected in the consolidated financial statements prospectively from the date of the change in estimate. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if:
•it requires a significant level of estimation uncertainty; and
•changes in the estimate are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
While a summary of significant accounting policies is described fully in Note 2 in our consolidated financial statements, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to assist you in fully understanding and evaluating our financial results and the effect of the estimates and judgments we used in preparing our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (ASC 606) when our customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that we determine are within the scope of ASC 606, management performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation. We recognize as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.
Collaborative and Other Agreements
We enter into licensing agreements that are within the scope of ASC 606, under which we may license rights to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize our product candidates to third parties. The terms of these arrangements typically include payment to us of one or more of the following: non-refundable, upfront license fees; reimbursement of certain costs; customer option exercise fees; development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments; and royalties on net sales of licensed products. We may also enter into development and manufacturing service agreements with our collaborators.
59
For each arrangement that results in revenues, we identify all performance obligations, which may include a license to intellectual property and know-how, research and development activities, transition activities and/or manufacturing services. In order to determine the transaction price, in addition to any upfront payment, management estimates the amount of variable consideration at the outset of the contract either utilizing the expected value or most likely amount method, depending on the facts and circumstances relative to the contract. We constrain (reduce) the estimates of variable consideration such that it is probable that a significant reversal of previously recognized revenue will not occur. When determining if variable consideration should be constrained, management considers whether there are factors outside our control that could result in a significant reversal of revenue. In making these assessments, management considers the likelihood and magnitude of a potential reversal of revenue. These estimates are re-assessed each reporting period as required.
Once the estimated transaction price is established, amounts are allocated to the performance obligations that have been identified. The transaction price is generally allocated to each separate performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis. We must develop assumptions that require judgment to determine the standalone selling price in order to account for these agreements. To determine the standalone selling price, management’s assumptions may include (i) the probability of obtaining marketing approval for the product candidate, (ii) estimates regarding the timing and the expected costs to develop and commercialize the product candidate, and (iii) estimates of future cash flows from potential product sales with respect to the product candidate. Standalone selling prices used to perform the initial allocation are not updated after contract inception. We do not include a financing component to its estimated transaction price at contract inception unless we estimate that certain performance obligations will not be satisfied within one year.
Amounts received prior to revenue recognition are recorded as deferred revenue. Amounts expected to be recognized as revenue within the 12 months following the balance sheet date are classified as current portion of deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Amounts not expected to be recognized as revenue within the 12 months following the balance sheet date are classified as deferred revenue, net of current portion.
Licenses. When we grant a license to our intellectual property, we determine whether the nature of the intellectual property to which the customer will have rights is functional intellectual property (functional IP), which has significant standalone functionality, or symbolic intellectual property (symbolic IP) which does not have significant standalone functionality. Revenue from functional IP is recognized at the point in time when control of the distinct license is transferred to the customer. Revenue from symbolic IP is recognized over the access period to our intellectual property. If the license to our intellectual property is determined to be distinct from the other promises or performance obligations identified in the arrangement, we recognize revenue from non-refundable, upfront fees allocated to the license when the license is transferred to the customer and when (or as) the customer is able to use and benefit from the license. In assessing whether a promise or performance obligation is distinct from the other promises, we consider factors such as the research, development, manufacturing and commercialization capabilities of the licensee and the availability of the associated expertise in the general marketplace. In addition, we consider whether the licensee can benefit from a promise for its intended purpose without the receipt of the remaining promise, whether the value of the promise is dependent on the unsatisfied promise, whether there are other vendors that could provide the remaining promise, and whether it is separately identifiable from the remaining promise. For licenses that are combined with other promises, management utilizes judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenue. We evaluate the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjust the measure of performance and related revenue recognition. The measure of progress, and thereby periods over which revenue should be recognized, are subject to estimates by management and may change over the course of the research and development and licensing agreement. Such a change could have a material impact on the amount of revenue we record in future periods.
Research, Development and/or Manufacturing Services. The promises under our agreements may include research and development or manufacturing services to be performed by us on behalf of the counterparty. If these services are determined to be distinct from the other promises or performance obligations identified in the arrangement, we recognize the transaction price allocated to these services as revenue over time based on an appropriate measure of progress when the performance by us does not create an asset with an alternative use and we have an enforceable right to payment for the performance completed to date. If these services are determined not to be distinct from the other promises or performance obligations identified in the arrangement, we recognize the transaction price allocated to the combined performance obligation as the related performance obligations are satisfied.
Customer Options. If an arrangement contains customer options, we evaluate whether the options are material rights because they allow the customer to acquire additional goods or services for free or at a discount. If the customer options are determined to represent a material right, the material right is recognized as a separate performance obligation at the outset of the arrangement. We allocate the transaction price to material rights based on the relative standalone selling price, which is
60
determined using assumptions regarding estimated costs, discount rates, post-option development timeline, the probability of technical and regulatory success and the probability that the customer will exercise the option. Amounts allocated to a material right are not recognized as revenue until, at the earliest, the option is exercised or expires. If the options are deemed not to be a material right, they are excluded as performance obligations at the outset of the arrangement.
Milestone Payments. At the inception of each arrangement that includes development milestone payments, management evaluates whether the milestones are considered probable of being achieved and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price using the most likely amount method. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur, the associated milestone value is included in the transaction price. Milestone payments that are not within our control or the licensee's control, such as regulatory approvals, are not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received. We evaluate factors such as the scientific, clinical, regulatory, commercial, and other risks that must be overcome to achieve the particular milestone in making this assessment. There is considerable judgment involved in determining whether it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, management reevaluates the probability of achievement of all milestones subject to constraint and, if necessary, adjusts its estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which would affect revenues and earnings in the period of adjustment.
Royalties. For arrangements that include sales-based royalties which are the result of a customer-vendor relationship and for which the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate, we recognize revenue at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied or partially satisfied.
We analyze our collaboration arrangements to assess whether such arrangements involve joint operating activities performed by parties who are both active participants in the activities and are both exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on the commercial success of such activities. Such arrangements generally are within the scope of ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements (ASC 808). While ASC 808 defines collaborative arrangements and provides guidance on income statement presentation, classification, and disclosures related to such arrangements, it does not address recognition and measurement matters, such as (1) determining the appropriate unit of accounting or (2) when the recognition criteria are met. Therefore, the accounting for these arrangements is either based on an analogy to other accounting literature or an accounting policy election by management. We account for certain components of the collaboration agreement that are reflective of a vendor-customer relationship (e.g., licensing arrangement) based on ASC 606. We account for other components based on a reasonable, rational and consistently applied accounting policy election. Reimbursements from the counter-party that are the result of a collaborative relationship with the counter-party, instead of a customer relationship, such as co-development activities, are recorded as a reduction to research and development expense as the services are performed.
Contract Manufacturing Revenue
We enter into agreements with third parties to manufacture their drug substance at our Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) facility. The terms of these arrangements can include an upfront payment to us to reserve manufacturing capacity, scheduled payments during the manufacturing process and reimbursement for materials used to manufacture product.We recognize revenue over time on a straight-line basis as the manufacturing services are performed, as we believe that our efforts in providing the manufacturing services are incurred evenly throughout the performance period and therefore straight-line revenue recognition closely approximates the level of effort for the manufacturing services. Variable consideration relating to the reimbursed materials and other reimbursed costs incurred to manufacture product are allocated to the related manufacturing activities and are recognized as revenue as those activities occur.
Research and Development Expense, Including Clinical Trial Accruals/Expenses
Research and development expense consists of costs we incur for our own research and development activities and costs incurred by our collaborators under cost sharing arrangements. Research and development costs consist of salaries and benefits, including related stock-based compensation, laboratory supplies and facility costs, as well as fees paid to other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on our behalf, such as CROs, and the cost of acquiring and manufacturing clinical trial materials, including costs incurred under agreements with contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs). Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. We receive estimates from our collaborators when we are sharing development expenses, and use these estimates to record an increase or decrease in research and development expense, depending on how much we have each spent during the period.
Clinical trial expenses are a significant component of research and development expense, and we outsource a significant portion of these costs to third parties. Third party clinical trial expenses include investigator fees, site and patient
61
costs, CRO costs, costs for central laboratory testing, data management and CMO costs. The accrual for site and patient costs includes inputs such as estimates of patient enrollment, patient cycles incurred, clinical site activations, and other pass-through costs. These inputs are required to be estimated due to a lag in receiving the actual clinical information from third parties. Payments for these activities are based on the terms of the individual arrangements, which may differ from the pattern of costs incurred, and are reflected on the consolidated balance sheets as a prepaid asset or accrued expenses. These third-party agreements are generally cancelable, and related costs are recorded as research and development expense as incurred. Non-refundable advance clinical payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities are recorded as a prepaid asset and recognized as expense as the related goods are delivered or the related services are performed. When evaluating the adequacy of the accrued expenses, we analyze progress of the studies, including the phase or completion of events, invoices received and contracted costs. Significant judgments and estimates may be made in determining the accrued balances at the end of any reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates made. The historical clinical accrual estimates have not been materially different from the actual costs.
Liability related to the sale of future royalties and related interest expense
The liability related to future royalties is presented net of unamortized issuance costs on our consolidated balance sheets. Interest expense on the liability related to future royalties is recognized using the effective interest rate method over the life of the arrangement. We calculate an effective interest rate which will amortize our related obligation to zero over the anticipated repayment period. The liability related to future royalties and the related interest expense are based on our current estimates of future royalties expected to be received over the life of the arrangement, which we determine by using internal sales projections and external information from market data sources, which are considered Level 3 inputs. We periodically assess the expected payments and to the extent our estimates of future royalty payments are greater or less than previous estimates or the estimated timing of such payments is materially different than previous estimates, we will adjust the effective interest rate and recognize related non-cash interest expense on a prospective basis.

Results of Operations
Revenue
The following represents a comparison of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (dollars in millions):
Year Ended December 31, Increase/(Decrease)
Collaborative and other agreements $ 87.2 $ 119.9 $ (32.7) (27) %
NM: Not Meaningful
The decrease of $32.7 million in revenue from collaborative and other agreements for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024 was primarily due to $100.0 million recognized from milestones under the Incyte License Agreement in 2024 compared to $50.0 million recognized from milestones under the Provention (Sanofi) Asset Purchase Agreement and $25.0 million from the Gilead Agreement in 2025.
Revenue from collaborative and other agreements may vary substantially from period to period depending on the progress made by our collaborators with their product candidates and the timing of milestones achieved under current agreements, and whether we enter into additional collaboration agreements.
Contract manufacturing revenue increased by $39.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, reflecting increased production for external clients in 2025.
62
The decrease in product sales, net is due to the fact that we sold the global rights to MARGENZA to TerSera in November 2024, and accordingly, no longer have product sales.
Royalty revenue increased by $9.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024 due to higher sales of ZYNYZ. During 2025, $7.9 million of the royalty revenue was non-cash due to the sale of our royalty rights to Sagard Healthcare Partners (Sagard) in June 2025. See Note 10, Royalty Monetization Arrangement, to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Cost of Manufacturing Services
Cost of manufacturing services was $36.0 million and $11.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Cost of manufacturing services includes the costs to provide manufacturing services to our customers. The increase in the cost of manufacturing services is due to increased production for external clients in 2025. We expect cost of manufacturing services to vary from period to period based on the agreed-upon manufacturing schedule.
Research and Development Expense
The following represents a comparison of our research and development expense for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (dollars in millions):
Year Ended December 31, Increase/(Decrease)
Next-generation T-cell engagers (a) 12.4 8.4 4.0 48 %
Preclinical antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) 4.8 8.0 (3.2) (40) %
Total research and development expense $ 147.2 $ 177.2 $ (30.0) (17) %
(a) Includes research and discovery projects, as well as early preclinical molecules and molecules not advanced to clinical development.
(b) Includes discontinued projects.
Research and development expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased by $30.0 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. This decrease was primarily attributable to:
•decreased vobra duo costs due to the decision to discontinue further internal development of that program;
•decreased development costs related to the wind down of margetuximab activities after the sale of MARGENZA to TerSera; and
•decreased development, manufacturing and IND-enabling costs related to MGC028.
These decreases were partially offset by
•increased clinical trial costs related to MGC026 and MGC028; and
•increased development costs related to MGC030.
There are uncertainties associated with our research and development expenses for future periods which are impacted by multiple variables, including timing of wind down activities for recently closed studies and current and expected expenditures associated with our ongoing clinical studies.
63
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $39.2 million and $71.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to lower stock-based compensation expense and reduced professional fees. The decrease in stock-based compensation expense was largely driven by additional stock-based compensation expense and accrued severance related to the separation agreement with our Chief Executive Officer recorded in 2024. The reduction in professional fees was largely driven by the cessation of commercialization activities for MARGENZA.
Gain on Sale of MARGENZA
In October 2024, we entered into an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement (ASA) with TerSera Therapeutics, LLC (TerSera) which closed in November 2024. Under the terms of the ASA, we sold the global rights to MARGENZA, inclusive of our business of researching, developing, commercializing, manufacturing, packaging, distributing, promoting, marketing and selling the MARGENZA product, as well as using and licensing the intellectual property relating to MARGENZA. In addition to MARGENZA’s intellectual property, TerSera also acquired all existing MARGENZA inventory. We recognized a gain of $36.3 million related to the ASA with TerSera during the year ended December 31, 2024.
Interest and Other Expense
In June 2025, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (Royalty Purchase Agreement) with Sagard, pursuant to which we sold to Sagard our right to receive royalties on global net sales of ZYNYZ (retifanlimab-dlwr) occurring on and after July 1, 2025 under our Incyte License Agreement, dated as of October 24, 2017, as amended. We are recognizing non-cash interest expense over the life of the Royalty Purchase Agreement, $8.3 million of which was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase in Interest and Other Expense of $7.4 million from the year ended December 31, 2024 to the year ended December 31, 2025 is primarily due to this non-cash interest expense, partially offset by a decrease in other expense. See Note 10, Royalty Monetization Arrangement, for more information.

Net cash used in operating activities consists of our net loss adjusted for non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization expense and stock-based compensation, gain on royalty monetization arrangement which is classified as a financing activity, gain on sale of MARGENZA which is classified as an investing activity, and changes in working capital. Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 benefited from $50.0 million in milestones from Sanofi and a $25.0 million payment related to the nomination and option exercise from Gilead. Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 benefited from a $100.0 million milestone payment received from Incyte under the Incyte License Agreement.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2025 is primarily due to purchases of marketable securities, partially offset by maturities of marketable securities. Net cash provided by investing activities during the
64
year ended December 31, 2024 is primarily due to proceeds from the sale of MARGENZA to TerSera and maturities of marketable securities, partially offset by purchases of marketable securities.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 is primarily due to $70.0 million received from Sagard upon sale of our right to receive royalties on global net sales of ZYNYZ (retifanlimab-dlwr). Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 includes proceeds from stock option exercises and ESPP purchases, offset by taxes paid related to net share settlement of equity awards.
Our multiple product candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts that include extensive preclinical studies and clinical testing, and regulatory approval prior to commercial use. Our future success is dependent on our ability to identify and develop our product candidates, and ultimately upon our ability to attain profitable operations. We have devoted substantially all of our financial resources and efforts to research and development and general and administrative expenses to support such research and development. Net losses and negative cash flows have had, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on our stockholders’ equity and working capital, and accordingly, our ability to execute our future operating plans.
As a biotechnology company, we have primarily funded our operations with proceeds from the sale of our common stock in equity offerings and revenue from our multiple collaboration agreements.Management regularly reviews our available liquidity relative to our operating budget and forecast to monitor the sufficiency of our working capital and anticipates continuing to draw upon available sources of capital, including equity and debt instruments, to support our product development activities. There can be no assurances that new sources of capital will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. Also, any future collaborations, strategic alliances and marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements may require us to give up some or all rights to a product or technology at less than its full potential value. If we are unable to enter into new arrangements or to perform under current or future agreements or obtain additional capital, we will assess our capital resources and may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of our product research and development programs or clinical studies, and/or downsize our organization. Although it is difficult to predict our funding requirements, we anticipate that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2025, combined with projected and anticipated future payments from our partners, and anticipated savings from our cost-reduction initiatives, supports our cash runway into late 2027. We have implemented, and will continue to evaluate and execute, various cost-saving measures that are intended to extend our financial runway while continuing to progress our pipeline.
Material Cash Requirements
Our short-term and long-term material cash requirements consist of operational and capital expenditures, some of which contain contractual obligations. Our primary uses of cash relate to paying salaries and benefits, conducting research activities, administering clinical trials and providing the technology and facilities necessary to support our operations. The most significant contractual obligations are the operating leases at our facilities in Maryland. Our future minimum lease payments as of December 31, 2025 totaled $5.5 million related to short-term lease liabilities, and $59.8 million related to long-term lease liabilities. See Note 5, Commitments and Contingencies, in the Notes to the Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information about our contractual obligations. We expect to fund these requirements with current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as well as anticipated and potential collaboration payments.
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2025. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K has been appropriately recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control
Our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, has evaluated any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarterly period ended December 31, 2025, and has concluded that there was no change that occurred during the quarterly period ended December 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially effect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company's principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company's board of directors, management and other personnel, 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 and includes those policies and procedures that:
•pertain to the management of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
•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
•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. 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. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
The Company's management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. In making this assessment, the Company's management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2025, the Company's internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 has been audited by Ernst & Young, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included herein on page 68.

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.

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MacroGenics, Inc.

In our opinion, the consolidatedfinancial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated March 9, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

MACROGENICS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization and Nature of Operations
MacroGenics, Inc. (the Company) is incorporated in the state of Delaware. The Company is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative antibody-based therapeutics for the treatment of cancer. The Company generates its pipeline of product candidates from its proprietary suite of antibody technology platforms. The Company is currently developing therapeutics utilizing multiple modalities, including antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and multi-specific antibodies (which are referred to as DART and TRIDENT molecules). The combination of the Company’s technology platforms and antibody engineering expertise has allowed the Company to generate promising product candidates – three of which have received marketing approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) – and to enter into several strategic collaborations with global biopharmaceutical companies. These collaborations have enabled the Company to leverage the additional expertise of its collaborators to advance the development of multiple partnered product candidates. In addition, the Company operates a commercial-scale cGMP antibody manufacturing facility in its Maryland headquarters to support its clinical programs. The Company also provides outsourced contract development and manufacturing services to its collaborators and other third parties for commercial and clinical products to offset a significant portion of the operating costs of this facility.
The Company is currently advancing three proprietary product candidates in clinical development: lorigerlimab, a bispecific DART molecule that targets checkpoint inhibitors PD-1 and CTLA-4; MGC026, an ADC that targets B7-H3 and delivers a novel topoisomerase I inhibitor (TOP1i)-based linker-payload, and MGC028, an ADC that targets ADAM9 and delivers a novel TOP1i-based linker-payload. The Company is also actively developing multiple preclinical-stage ADC and next generation T-cell engager programs.
The Company and its partners are developing or commercializing product candidates for which the Company retains certain economic rights. These include three products approved by the FDA: ZYNYZ® (retifanlimab-dlwr), an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) that the Company out-licensed; MARGENZA® (margetuximab-cmkb), an anti-HER2 mAb that the Company sold to a partner; and TZIELD® (teplizumab-mzwv), an anti-CD3 mAb that the Company sold to a partner. The Company is also collaborating with Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Gilead) on the development of MGD024, a bispecific DART antibody targeting CD123 and CD3 that utilizes its next-generation T-cell engager technology, as well as two additional undisclosed pre-clinical development programs.
Liquidity
The Company’s multiple product candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts that include extensive preclinical studies and clinical testing, and regulatory approval prior to commercial use.
The future success of the Company is dependent on its ability to identify and develop its product candidates, and ultimately upon its ability to attain profitable operations. The Company has devoted substantially all of its financial resources and efforts to research and development and general and administrative expense to support such research and development. Net losses and negative cash flows have had, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on the Company’s stockholders’ equity and working capital, and accordingly, its ability to execute its future operating plans.
As a biotechnology company, the Company has primarily funded its operations with proceeds from the sale of its common stock in equity offerings and revenue from its multiple collaboration agreements.Management regularly reviews the Company’s available liquidity relative to its operating budget and forecast to monitor the sufficiency of the Company’s working capital. The Company plans to meet its future operating requirements by generating revenue from current and future strategic collaborations or other arrangements and royalties.The Company anticipates continuing to draw upon available sources of capital, including equity and debt instruments, to support its product development activities. If the Company is unable to enter into new arrangements or to perform under current or future agreements or obtain additional capital, the Company will assess its capital resources and may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of its product research and development programs or clinical studies, reduce other operating expenses, and/or downsize its organization. Based on the Company’s most recent cash flow forecast, the Company believes its current resources are sufficient to fund its operating plans for a minimum of twelve months from the date that this Annual Report on Form 10-K was filed.
Other risk factors pertinent to the Company's business, including significant equity market volatility and availability of funding in the biotechnology sector, as well as potential issues in the global economy, credit markets and financial markets as a result of significant worldwide events, including inflation, fluctuating interest rates and geopolitical upheaval, might
F - 7
unfavorably impact the Company's ability to generate such additional funding. Given the uncertainty in the rapidly changing market and economic conditions related to these uncertainties, the Company will continue to evaluate the nature and extent of the impact of these uncertainties on its business and financial position.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, MacroGenics UK Limited and MacroGenics Limited. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company currently operates in one operating segment. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business in one segment, which is developing and commercializing monoclonal antibody-based therapeutics. See Note 13, Segment Reporting, for the Company’s evaluation of its reportable segment and additional disclosures.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires the Company to make estimates and judgments in certain circumstances that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management has made its best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, fair values of assets, inventory, preclinical study and clinical trial accruals and other contingencies. Management bases its estimates on historical experience or on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Although actual results could differ from these estimates, management does not believe that such differences would be material.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities
The Company considers all investments in highly liquid financial instruments with a maturity of 90 days or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents includes investments in money market funds with commercial banks and financial institutions, securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies, Government Sponsored Enterprise agency debt obligations and corporate debt obligations. Cash equivalents are stated at amortized cost, plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value.
The Company carries marketable securities classified as available-for-sale at fair value as determined by prices for identical or similar securities at the balance sheet date. Classification of marketable securities between current and non-current is dependent upon the maturity date at the balance sheet date taking into consideration the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment to maturity. Marketable securities consist of Level 2 financial instruments in the fair-value hierarchy. The Company records unrealized gains and losses as a component of other comprehensive loss within the statements of operations and comprehensive loss and as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Realized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities are determined using the specific identification method and the Company includes net realized gains and losses in other income, along with interest income and amortization of premiums and discounts.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable arise from amounts due from the Company’s collaborative partners and contract manufacturing work performed by the Company. Accounts receivable that management has the intent and ability to collect are reported in the consolidated balance sheets at outstanding amounts, less an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company writes off uncollectible receivables when the likelihood of collection is remote.
The Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable on a regular basis. The allowance, if any, is based upon various factors including the financial condition and payment history of customers, an overall review of collections experience on other accounts and economic factors or events expected to affect future collections experience. No allowance was recorded as of December 31, 2025 or 2024, as the Company has a history of collecting on all outstanding accounts.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses.The carrying amount of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses
F - 8
are generally considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of their short-term nature. The Company accounts for recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, and requires expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. The ASC 820 hierarchy ranks the quality of reliability of inputs, or assumptions, used in the determination of fair value and requires assets and liabilities carried at fair value to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
•Level 1 – Fair value is determined by using unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
•Level 2 – Fair value is determined by using inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable. Inputs can include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in inactive markets. Related inputs can also include those used in valuation or other pricing models, such as interest rates and yield curves that can be corroborated by observable market data.
•Level 3 – Fair value is determined by inputs that are unobservable and not corroborated by market data. Use of these inputs involves significant and subjective judgments to be made by a reporting entity – e.g., determining an appropriate adjustment to a discount factor for illiquidity associated with a given security.
The Company evaluates financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the appropriate level at which to classify them each reporting period. This determination requires the Company to make subjective judgments as to the significance of inputs used in determining fair value and where such inputs lie within the ASC 820 hierarchy. There were no transfers between levels during the periods presented.
The carrying value of the deferred royalty obligation related to the sale of future royalties under the Purchase and Sale Agreement with Sagard Healthcare Partners (Sagard) approximates its fair value as of December 31, 2025 and is based on the Company’s current estimate of future royalties expected to be earned over the estimated life of the royalty term arrangement. See Note 10, Royalty Monetization Arrangement, for the description of the Level 3 inputs used to estimate the fair value of the liability.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and money market funds with financial institutions that are federally insured. While balances deposited in these institutions often exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits, the Company has not experienced any losses on related accounts to date. The Company's investment policy limits investments to certain types of debt securities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies and institutions with investment-grade credit ratings and places restrictions on maturities and concentration by type and issuer. The counterparties are various corporations, financial institutions and government agencies of high credit standing.
The Company's revenue relates to contract development and manufacturing services, agreements with various collaborators, and MARGENZA net product sales (prior to the sale to TerSera Therapeutics LLC (TerSera) in November 2024). The following table includes those counterparties that represent more than 10% of total revenue earned in the periods indicated:

* Balance is less than 10% as of the date indicated.
Inventory
Inventory is composed of raw materials valued at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. Cost is determined using the moving average cost basis, which approximates cost on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company performs an assessment of the recoverability of capitalized inventory during each reporting period, and it writes down any excess, obsolete or expired materials to their estimated realizable value in the period in which the impairment is first identified. Such write downs, should they occur, are recorded within the cost of manufacturing services in the statement of operations. Inventory at December 31, 2025 consists of $7.9 million in raw materials and supplies procured for the purpose of manufacturing drug substance for the Company's contract manufacturing customers. At December 31, 2025 there was no inventory reserve recorded.
Property, Equipment and Software
Property, equipment and software are stated at cost. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited or
F - 10
charged to operations. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Computer equipment 3 years
Software 3 years
Furniture 10 years
Laboratory and office equipment 5 years
Leasehold improvements Shorter of lease term or useful life
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment (ASC 360). ASC 360 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the long-lived asset is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If carrying value exceeds the sum of undiscounted cash flows, the Company then determines the fair value of the underlying asset group. Any impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset group. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. For the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company determined that there were no impaired assets.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the entity performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.
Collaborative and Other Agreements
The Company enters into licensing agreements that are within the scope of ASC 606, under which it may license rights to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize its product candidates to third parties. The terms of these arrangements typically include payment to the Company of one or more of the following: non-refundable, upfront license fees; reimbursement of certain costs; customer option exercise fees; development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments; and royalties on net sales of licensed products. The Company may also enter into development and manufacturing service agreements with its collaborators.
For each arrangement that results in revenues, the Company identifies all performance obligations, which may include a license to intellectual property and know-how, research and development activities, transition activities and/or manufacturing services. In order to determine the transaction price, in addition to any upfront payment, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration at the outset of the contract either utilizing the expected value or most likely amount method, depending on the facts and circumstances relative to the contract. The Company constrains (reduces) the estimates of variable consideration such that it is probable that a significant reversal of previously recognized revenue will not occur. When determining if variable consideration should be constrained, management considers whether there are factors outside the Company’s control that could result in a significant reversal of revenue. In making these assessments, the Company considers the likelihood and magnitude of a potential reversal of revenue. These estimates are re-assessed each reporting period as required.
Once the estimated transaction price is established, amounts are allocated to the performance obligations that have been identified. The transaction price is generally allocated to each separate performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis. The Company must develop assumptions that require judgment to determine the standalone selling price in order to account for these agreements. To determine the standalone selling price, the Company’s assumptions may include (i) the probability of obtaining marketing approval for the product candidate, (ii) estimates regarding the timing and the expected costs to develop and commercialize the product candidate, and (iii) estimates of future cash flows from potential product sales with respect to the product candidate. Standalone selling prices used to perform the initial allocation are not updated after
F - 11
contract inception. The Company does not include a financing component to its estimated transaction price at contract inception unless it estimates that certain performance obligations will not be satisfied within one year.
Amounts received prior to revenue recognition are recorded as deferred revenue. Amounts expected to be recognized as revenue within the 12 months following the balance sheet date are classified as current portion of deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Amounts not expected to be recognized as revenue within the 12 months following the balance sheet date are classified as deferred revenue, net of current portion.
Licenses. When the Company grants a license to its intellectual property, it determines whether the nature of the intellectual property to which the customer will have rights is functional intellectual property (functional IP), which has significant standalone functionality, or symbolic intellectual property (symbolic IP) which does not have significant standalone functionality. Revenue from functional IP is recognized at the point in time when control of the distinct license is transferred to the customer. Revenue from symbolic IP is recognized over the access period to the Company’s intellectual property. If the license to the Company’s intellectual property is determined to be distinct from the other promises or performance obligations identified in the arrangement, the Company recognizes revenue from non-refundable, upfront fees allocated to the license when the license is transferred to the customer and when (or as) the customer is able to use and benefit from the license. In assessing whether a promise or performance obligation is distinct from the other promises, the Company considers factors such as the research, development, manufacturing and commercialization capabilities of the licensee and the availability of the associated expertise in the general marketplace. In addition, the Company considers whether the licensee can benefit from a promise for its intended purpose without the receipt of the remaining promise, whether the value of the promise is dependent on the unsatisfied promise, whether there are other vendors that could provide the remaining promise, and whether it is separately identifiable from the remaining promise. For licenses that are combined with other promises, the Company utilizes judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenue. The Company evaluates the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjusts the measure of performance and related revenue recognition. The measure of progress, and thereby periods over which revenue should be recognized, are subject to estimates by management and may change over the course of the research and development and licensing agreement. Such a change could have a material impact on the amount of revenue the Company records in future periods.
Research, Development and/or Manufacturing Services. The promises under the Company’s agreements may include research and development or manufacturing services to be performed by the Company on behalf of the counterparty. If these services are determined to be distinct from the other promises or performance obligations identified in the arrangement, the Company recognizes the transaction price allocated to these services as revenue over time based on an appropriate measure of progress when the performance by the Company does not create an asset with an alternative use and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for the performance completed to date. If these services are determined not to be distinct from the other promises or performance obligations identified in the arrangement, the Company recognizes the transaction price allocated to the combined performance obligation as the related performance obligations are satisfied.
Customer Options. If an arrangement contains customer options, the Company evaluates whether the options are material rights because they allow the customer to acquire additional goods or services for free or at a discount. If the customer options are determined to represent a material right, the material right is recognized as a separate performance obligation at the outset of the arrangement. The Company allocates the transaction price to material rights based on the relative standalone selling price, which is determined using assumptions regarding estimated costs, discount rates, post-option development timeline, the probability of technical and regulatory success and the probability that the customer will exercise the option. Amounts allocated to a material right are not recognized as revenue until, at the earliest, the option is exercised. If the options are deemed not to be a material right, they are excluded as performance obligations at the outset of the arrangement.
Milestone Payments. At the inception of each arrangement that includes development milestone payments, the Company evaluates whether the milestones are considered probable of being achieved and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price using the most likely amount method. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur, the associated milestone value is included in the transaction price. Milestone payments that are not within the control of the Company or the licensee, such as regulatory approvals, are not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received. The Company evaluates factors such as the scientific, clinical, regulatory, commercial, and other risks that must be overcome to achieve the particular milestone in making this assessment. There is considerable judgment involved in determining whether it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, the Company reevaluates the probability of achievement of all milestones subject to constraint and, if necessary, adjusts its estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which would affect revenues and earnings in the period of adjustment.
F - 12
Royalties. For arrangements that include sales-based royalties which are the result of a customer-vendor relationship and for which the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate, the Company recognizes revenue at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied or partially satisfied.
The Company analyzes its collaboration arrangements to assess whether such arrangements involve joint operating activities performed by parties who are both active participants in the activities and are both exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on the commercial success of such activities. Such arrangements generally are within the scope of ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements (ASC 808). While ASC 808 defines collaborative arrangements and provides guidance on income statement presentation, classification, and disclosures related to such arrangements, it does not address recognition and measurement matters, such as (1) determining the appropriate unit of accounting or (2) when the recognition criteria are met. Therefore, the accounting for these arrangements is either based on an analogy to other accounting literature or an accounting policy election by the Company. The Company accounts for certain components of the collaboration agreement that are reflective of a vendor-customer relationship (e.g., licensing arrangement) based on ASC 606. The Company accounts for other components based on a reasonable, rational and consistently applied accounting policy election. Reimbursements from the counter-party that are the result of a collaborative relationship with the counter-party, instead of a customer relationship, such as co-development activities, are recorded as a reduction to research and development expense as the services are performed.
For a complete discussion of accounting for revenue from collaborative and other agreements, see Note 7, Revenue.
Contract manufacturing revenue
The Company enters into agreements with third parties to manufacture their drug substance at its Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) facility. The terms of these arrangements can include an upfront payment to the Company to reserve manufacturing capacity, scheduled payments during the manufacturing process and reimbursement for materials used to manufacture product.The Company recognizes revenue over time on a straight-line basis as the manufacturing services are performed, as the Company believes that its efforts in providing the manufacturing services are incurred evenly throughout the performance period and therefore straight-line revenue recognition closely approximates the level of effort for the manufacturing services. Variable consideration relating to the reimbursed materials and other reimbursed costs incurred to manufacture product are allocated to the related manufacturing activities and are recognized as revenue as those activities occur.
Cost of Manufacturing Services
Cost of manufacturing services consists of the costs to provide manufacturing services to produce certain bulk drug substance under manufacturing and clinical supply agreements with third parties, including salaries and benefits and related stock-based compensation, materials, overhead and other related costs.
Research and Development Expense, Including Clinical Trial Accruals/Expenses
Research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs primarily consist of employee related expenses, including salaries and benefits, expenses incurred under agreements with contract research organizations (CROs), investigative sites and consultants that conduct the Company's clinical trials, the cost of acquiring and manufacturing clinical trial materials, including costs incurred under agreements with contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs), and other allocated expenses, license fees for and milestone payments related to in-licensed products and technologies, stock-based compensation expense, and costs associated with non-clinical activities and regulatory approvals.
Right-to-develop agreements may contain cost-sharing provisions whereby the Company and the collaborator share the cost of research and development activities. Reimbursement of research and development expenses received in connection with these agreements is recorded as a reduction of such expenses.
Clinical trial expenses are a significant component of research and development expense, and the Company outsources a significant portion of these costs to third parties. Third party clinical trial expenses include investigator fees, site and patient costs, CRO costs, costs for central laboratory testing, data management and CMO costs. The accrual for site and patient costs includes inputs such as estimates of patient enrollment, patient cycles incurred, clinical site activations, and other pass-through costs. These inputs are required to be estimated due to a lag in receiving the actual clinical information from third parties. Payments for these activities are based on the terms of the individual arrangements, which may differ from the pattern of costs incurred, and are reflected on the consolidated balance sheets as a prepaid asset or accrued expenses. These third party agreements are generally cancelable, and related costs are recorded as research and development expenses as incurred. Non-refundable advance clinical payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development
F - 13
activities are recorded as a prepaid asset and recognized as expense as the related goods are delivered or the related services are performed. When evaluating the adequacy of the accrued expenses, management analyzes progress of the studies, including the phase or completion of events, invoices received and contracted costs. Significant judgments and estimates may be made in determining the accrued balances at the end of any reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates made. The historical clinical accrual estimates have not been materially different from the actual costs.
Leases
The Company determines whether an arrangement is or contains a lease at the inception of an arrangement under ASC 842, Leases. For leases where the Company is the lessee, right-of-use (ROU) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As such, the Company utilizes the appropriate incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term of the lease for which the rate is estimated. Certain adjustments to the ROU asset may be required for items such as initial direct costs paid or incentives received. The lease terms used to calculate the ROU asset and related lease liabilities include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as an operating expense while the expense for finance leases is recognized as depreciation expense and interest expense using the accelerated interest method of recognition.
Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss represents net loss adjusted for the change during the periods attributed to unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic and diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. All stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs) are excluded from the per share calculations as such securities were anti-dilutive for all periods presented.The following table presents the number of stock options and RSUs that were excluded from the calculation of net loss per share:
Year Ended December 31,
Liability related to the sale of future royalties and related interest expense
The Company assesses the relevant accounting criteria under the FASB ASC Topic 470, Debt (ASC 470) to determine whether the upfront payment received from the purchaser should be accounted for as debt or deferred income depending on the facts and circumstances. If the criteria in ASC 470 is met, the Company accounts for net proceeds from sales of its rights to receive future royalty payments as a liability that is amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the arrangement. The liability related to future royalties is presented net of unamortized issuance costs on the consolidated balance sheets. Interest expense on the liability related to future royalties is recognized using the effective interest rate method over the life of the arrangement. The Company calculates an effective interest rate which will amortize its related obligation to zero over the anticipated repayment period. The liability related to future royalties and the related interest expense are based on the Company’s current estimates of future revenues expected to be received over the life of the arrangement, which the Company determines by using internal sales projections and external information from market data sources, which are considered Level 3 inputs. The Company periodically assesses the expected payments and to the extent the Company’s estimates of future royalty payments are greater or less than previous estimates or the estimated timing of such payments is materially different than previous estimates, the Company will adjust the effective interest rate and recognize related non-cash interest expense on a prospective basis. Non-cash amortization is reflected as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. See Note 10, Royalty Monetization Arrangement, for additional information.

All of the Company's available-for-sale securities held at December 31, 2025 and 2024 had contractual maturities of less than one year. All of the Company’s available-for-sale marketable debt securities in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2025 were in a loss position for less than twelve months. Unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities as of December 31, 2025 were not significant and were primarily due to changes in interest rates, including market credit spreads, and not due to increased credit risks associated with specific securities. Accordingly, no allowance for credit losses related to the Company's available-for-sale debt securities was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company does not intend to sell these investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity.The Company recorded interest income of $3.4 million, $5.6 million and $4.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which is included in interest and other income on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

In-licensing arrangement
In January 2022, the Company entered into a non-exclusive license agreement with Synaffix B.V., a Lonza company (Synaffix) to develop, manufacture and commercialize up to three antibody-drug conjugate targets using Synaffix’s proprietary technology. The Company made an upfront payment to Synaffix upon contract execution. In March 2023, the Company and Synaffix amended the agreement, adding four additional targets. Assuming all seven targets are successfully developed and commercialized, the Company would be obligated to pay up to $2.8 billion for development, regulatory and sales milestones. Finally, pursuant to the terms of this license agreement, as amended, upon commencement of commercial sales of any products developed from these targets, the Company would be required to pay Synaffix tiered royalties in the low‐single digit percentages on net sales of the respective products. The Company may terminate this agreement at any time with 30 days’ notice to Synaffix. Amounts paid to Synaffix under this agreement are recorded as research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company incurred $3.2 million, $4.7 million and $2.8 million in expense under this agreement during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Contractual Commitments
The Company has certain contractual commitments under manufacturing-related supplier arrangements as of December 31, 2025 totaling $4.1 million that expire through May 2026.
6. Stockholders' Equity
The Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes 125,000,000 shares of common stock, and 5,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, both with a par value of $0.01 per share. There were no shares of undesignated preferred stock issued or outstanding as of December 31, 2025 or 2024.
In March 2023, the Company entered into a sales agreement with an agent to sell, from time to time, shares of its common stock having an aggregate sales price of up to $100.0 million through an “at the market offering” (ATM Offering) as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. No shares were sold under the ATM offering during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Collaborative and Other Agreements
Incyte Corporation
Incyte License Agreement
In 2017, the Company entered into an exclusive global collaboration and license agreement with Incyte, which was amended in March 2018, April 2022, July 2022, and July 2024, for retifanlimab, an investigational monoclonal antibody that inhibits PD-1 (Incyte License Agreement). Incyte has obtained exclusive worldwide rights for the development and commercialization of retifanlimab in all indications, while the Company retains the right to develop its pipeline assets in combination with retifanlimab. Under the terms of the Incyte License Agreement, Incyte paid the Company an upfront payment of $150.0 million in 2017. The Company manufactures a portion of Incyte’s global commercial supply of retifanlimab. In March 2023, the FDA approved Incyte's Biologics License Application (BLA) for ZYNYZ (retifanlimab-dlwr) for the
F - 17
treatment of adults with metastatic or recurrent locally advanced Merkel cell carcinoma. In May 2025, the FDA approved ZYNYZ with carboplatin and paclitaxel for the first-line treatment of adults with inoperable locally recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal (SCAC), and as a single agent, for adults with locally recurrent or metastatic SCAC with disease progression on or intolerance to platinum-based chemotherapy. In December 2025, Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare approved ZYNYZ as first-line therapy for adults with locally recurrent or metastatic SCAC. In March 2026, Incyte announced that the European Commission approved ZYNYZ in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel for the first-line treatment of adult patients with metastatic or inoperable locally recurrent SCAC. Furthermore, Incyte has stated it is pursuing development of retifanlimab in potentially registration-enabling studies, including in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Incyte is also pursuing development of retifanlimab in combination with select product candidates from its pipeline.
Under the terms of the Incyte License Agreement, as amended, Incyte leads global development of retifanlimab. From the inception of the Incyte License Agreement through December 31, 2025, the Company has recognized $215.0 million for certain development and regulatory milestones under the Incyte License Agreement, including $15.0 million received following the FDA approval of ZYNYZ and $100.0 million received in August 2024 upon entering into an amendment to the Incyte License Agreement pursuant to which certain development milestones were deemed to have been met. Assuming successful development and commercialization by Incyte in multiple indications, the Company is eligible to receive up to an additional $210.0 million in development and regulatory milestones, and up to $330.0 million in commercial milestones. The Company is also eligible to receive tiered royalties of 15% to 24% on global net sales but sold this right to Sagard in June 2025 as described more fully in Note 10, Royalty Monetization Arrangement. The Company retains the right to develop its pipeline assets in combination with retifanlimab, with Incyte commercializing retifanlimab and the Company commercializing its asset(s), if any such potential combinations are approved. In addition, the Company retains the right to manufacture a portion of both companies' global commercial supply needs of retifanlimab, subject to the separate commercial supply agreement.
The Company evaluated the Incyte License Agreement under the provisions of ASC 606 at inception and identified the following two performance obligations under the agreement: (i) the license of retifanlimab and (ii) the performance of certain clinical activities through a brief technology transfer period. The Company determined that the license and clinical activities are separate performance obligations because they are capable of being distinct, and are distinct in the context of the contract. The license has standalone functionality as it is sublicensable, Incyte has significant capabilities in performing clinical trials, and Incyte is capable of performing these activities without the Company's involvement; the Company performed the activities during the transfer period as a matter of convenience. The Company determined that the transaction price of the Incyte License Agreement at inception was $154.0 million, consisting of the consideration to which the Company was entitled in exchange for the license and an estimate of the consideration for clinical activities to be performed. The transaction price was allocated to each performance obligation based on their relative standalone selling price. The standalone selling price of the license was determined using the adjusted market assessment approach considering similar collaboration and license agreements. The standalone selling price for the agreed-upon clinical activities to be performed was determined using the expected cost approach based on similar arrangements the Company has with other parties. The potential development and regulatory milestone payments are fully constrained until the Company concludes that achievement of the milestone is probable and that recognition of revenue related to the milestone will not result in a significant reversal in amounts recognized in future periods, and as such have been excluded from the transaction price. Any consideration related to sales-based milestones and royalties will be recognized when the related sales occur, as they were determined to relate predominantly to the license granted to Incyte and, therefore, have also been excluded from the transaction price. The Company reassesses the transaction price in each reporting period and when events whose outcomes are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur. In July 2024, the Company and Incyte executed Amendment No. 4 to the Incyte License Agreement pursuant to which certain development milestones were deemed to have been met. The Company evaluated the amendment as a contract modification under the provisions of ASC 606 which resulted in $100.0 million of revenue being recognized during the year ended December 31, 2024. From 2018 through December 31, 2025, it became probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue would not occur for development milestones totaling$215.0 millionrelated to clinical and regulatory activities related to the further advancement of retifanlimab. Therefore the associated consideration was added to the estimated transaction price and was recognized as revenue.
The Company recognized the $150.0 million allocated to the license when it satisfied its performance obligation and transferred the license to Incyte in 2017. The $4.0 million allocated to the clinical activities was recognized ratably as services were performed during 2017 and 2018. The Company recognized revenue of $9.7 million, $100.6 million and $15.0 million under the Incyte License Agreement during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The revenue is primarily related to development milestones and includes royalties on ZYNYZ sales beginning in late 2023.

Incyte Commercial Supply Agreement
In 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with Incyte pursuant to which the Company is entitled to manufacture a portion of the global commercial supply needs for retifanlimab (Incyte Commercial Supply Agreement). Unless terminated earlier, the term of the Incyte Commercial Supply Agreement will expire upon the expiration of Incyte’s obligation to pay royalties under the Incyte License Agreement. The Company evaluated this agreement under ASC 606 and identified one performance obligation under the agreement: to perform services related to manufacturing the commercial supply of retifanlimab. The transaction price is based on a fixed price per batch of bulk drug substance to be manufactured and is recognized over time as the services are provided, as the performance by the Company does not create an asset with an alternative use and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for the performance completed to date. The transaction price is being recognized using the input method reflecting the costs incurred (including resources consumed and labor costs incurred) related to the manufacturing services. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company recognized revenue of $1.7 million, $1.8 million and $4.2 million, respectively, for services performed under the Incyte Commercial Supply Agreement.
Gilead Sciences, Inc.
In 2022, the Company and Gilead entered into an exclusive option and collaboration agreement (Gilead Agreement) to develop and commercialize MGD024, an investigational, bispecific antibody that binds CD123 and CD3, and create bispecific cancer antibodies using the Company’s DART and TRIDENT platforms and undertake their early development under a maximum of two separate bispecific cancer target research programs. Under the agreement, the Company will continue the ongoing phase 1 trial for MGD024 according to a development plan, during which Gilead will have the right to exercise an option granted to Gilead to obtain an exclusive license under the Company’s intellectual property to develop and commercialize MGD024 and other bispecific antibodies of MacroGenics that bind CD123 and CD3 (CD123 Option). The agreement also granted Gilead the right, within its first two years, to nominate a bispecific cancer target set for up to two research programs conducted by the Company and to exercise separate options to obtain an exclusive license for the development, commercialization and exploitation of molecules created under each research program (Research Program Option). Gilead nominated the first of the two research programs in September 2023. In January 2024, the parties amended the Gilead Agreement to revise certain matters related to intellectual property in the performance of the research plans under the agreement. On August 30, 2024, the parties amended the agreement by entering into a second letter agreement under which Gilead will pay the Company to conduct certain research and which extends the period for Gilead to select its second research target combination.
Under the terms of the Gilead Agreement, as amended, in October 2022 Gilead paid the Company an upfront payment of $60.0 million. Assuming Gilead exercises the CD123 Option and Research Program Option and successfully develops and commercializes MGD024, or other CD123 products developed under the agreement, and products result from the two additional research programs, the Company would be eligible to receive up to a total of $1.7 billionin target nomination, option fees, and development, regulatory and commercial milestones. Assuming exercise of the CD123 Option, the Company will also be eligible to receive tiered, low double-digit royalties on worldwide net sales of MGD024 (or other CD123 products developed under the agreement) and assuming exercise of the Research Program Option, a flat royalty on worldwide net sales of any products resulting from the two research programs.
The Company evaluated the Gilead Agreement under the provisions of ASC 606 and identified the following material promises under the agreement: (i) a license to perform any activities allocated to Gilead under the MGD024 development plan; (ii) development activities regarding MGD024, including manufacturing, research and early clinical development activities, necessary to deliver an informational package of development and clinical data, information and materials specified in the Gilead Agreement during the period in which Gilead can exercise the CD123 Option; (iii) the CD123 Option and (iv) the Research Program Option.
The Company concluded that the license under the MGD024 development plan and development activities are not distinct from one another, as the license has limited value without the Company’s performance of the development activities. Therefore, the Company determined that the development term license and development activities should be combined into a single performance obligation (Development Activities). The CD123 Option is considered a material right as the value of the exclusive license exceeds the payment to be made by Gilead if they exercise their option to obtain an exclusive license to develop and commercialize MGD024 or an alternative CD123 product, and is therefore a distinct performance obligation. The Company determined that the Research Program Option does not provide a material right, as there is no discount on its standalone selling price.
In accordance with ASC 606, the Company determined that the initial transaction price under the Gilead Agreement was $60.0 million, consisting of the upfront, non-refundable payment paid by Gilead. The CD123 Option and Research
F - 19
Program Option payments are excluded from the initial transaction price at contract inception along with any future development, regulatory, and commercial milestone payments (including royalties) following the CD123 Option and Research Program Option exercise. The Company reassesses the amount of variable consideration included in the transaction price every reporting period.The Company allocated the $60.0 million upfront payment in the transaction price to the Development Activities and the CD123 Option based on each performance obligation’s relative standalone selling price. The standalone selling price for the Development Activities was calculated using an expected cost-plus margin approach for the pre-option development timeline.For the standalone selling price of the CD123 Option, the Company utilized an income-based approach which included the following key assumptions:post-option development timeline and costs, forecasted revenues, discount rates and probabilities of technical and regulatory success.
The Company is recognizing revenue related to the Development Activities performance obligation over the estimated period to complete the Development Activities using an input method reflecting the costs incurred (including resources consumed and labor hours expended) related to the Development Activities. The Company has deferred revenue recognition related to the CD123 Option. If Gilead exercises the CD123 Option and obtains an exclusive license, the Company will recognize revenue as it fulfills its obligations under the Gilead Agreement. If the CD123 Option is not exercised, the Company will recognize the entirety of the revenue in the period when the CD123 Option expires.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded de minimis revenue under the Gilead Agreement. During each of the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded revenue of $1.5 million related to the Gilead Agreement. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $56.8 million in revenue was deferred under this agreement, $1.3 million of which was current and $55.5 million of which was non-current.
In September 2023, the Company and Gilead executed a Letter Agreement (First Letter Agreement) through which Gilead nominated the first of the two research programs contemplated in the Gilead Agreement (First Research Program), the Company granted Gilead a research license, and the parties agreed on a research plan for the First Research Program under which the Company will provide research and development services. Gilead paid the Company a $15.7 million nomination fee. The Company evaluated the Letter Agreement under the terms of ASC 606, and concluded that it is a modification to the Gilead Agreement that results in a separate contract since the modification is for additional goods and services that are distinct and at standalone selling price. The Company determined that the license and the related research and development activities were not distinct from one another, as the license has limited value without the performance of the research and development activities. As such, the Company determined that these should be combined into a single performance obligation. Gilead also has the exclusive option to pay the Company $10.0 million to obtain a license to exploit the research molecule and research product with respect to the First Research Program. The Company determined that this exclusive option does not provide a material right, as there is no discount on its standalone selling price.
In accordance with ASC 606, the Company determined that the initial transaction price for the First Research Program agreement was $15.7 million, consisting of the non-refundable payment paid by Gilead. The Company is recognizing revenue over the estimated period to complete the services using the input method reflecting the costs incurred (including resources consumed and labor hours expended) related to the research and development services. In June 2024, the Company received variable consideration totaling $3.3 million from Gilead upon achievement of a research plan milestone. The variable consideration was added to the transaction price and allocated to the performance obligation to determine the amount of related revenue to be recognized. A proportional amount was recognized based on the input cost to cost measurement of work completed to date.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company has completed performing the services related to the First Research Program and therefore all of the related revenue has been recognized. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 the Company recorded revenue of $11.0 million, $7.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively, related to the First Research Program. As of December 31, 2025, norevenue was deferred under this agreement. As of December 31, 2024, $11.0 million in revenue was deferred under this agreement, all of which was current.
In November 2025,the parties amended the Gilead Agreement by entering into a third letter agreement (Third Letter Agreement) under which Gilead nominated the second of the two research programs contemplated in the Gilead Agreement (Second Research Program) and the Company granted Gilead a research license. Gilead also exercised their exclusive option to obtain a license to exploit the research molecule and research product with respect to the Second Research Program. Gilead paid the Company a total of $25.0 million related to the nomination and option exercise. The Company evaluated the Third Letter Agreement under the terms of ASC 606, and concluded that it is a modification to the Gilead Agreement that results in a separate contract since the modification is for additional goods and services that are distinct and at standalone selling price. The Company determined that there is one performance obligation under the Third Letter Agreement; to grant the research term license and exploitation license. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company determined that the initial transaction price for the
F - 20
Second Research Program was $25.0 million, consisting of the non-refundable payment made by Gilead. The Company recognized this amount when it satisfied its performance obligation and transferred the license to Gilead during the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company is entitled to future development, regulatory and commercial milestones related to the Second Research Program should Gilead successfully develop and commercialize the molecule. These potential development and regulatory milestone payments are fully constrained until the Company concludes that achievement of the milestone is probable and that recognition of revenue related to the milestone will not result in a significant reversal in amounts recognized in future periods, and as such have been excluded from the transaction price. Any consideration related to sales-based milestones and royalties will be recognized when the related sales occur, as they were determined to relate predominantly to the license granted to Gilead and, therefore, have also been excluded from the transaction price.
Sanofi S.A.
In 2018, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Provention Bio, Inc. (Provention) pursuant to which Provention acquired the Company’s interest in teplizumab, a monoclonal antibody being developed for the treatment of type 1 diabetes (Provention APA). The FDA approved the BLA for TZIELD (teplizumab-mzwv) in November 2022. In March 2023, the Company sold its single-digit royalty interest in TZIELD to a wholly-owned subsidiary of DRI Healthcare Trust (DRI) and received a $100.0 million payment from DRI under a Royalty Purchase Agreement. The Company retained its other economic interests related to TZIELD, including future potential regulatory and commercial milestones, as well as the right to receive a 50% share of the royalty on global net sales above a certain annual threshold. In addition, the Company remains eligible to receive an additional $50.0 million if TZIELD achieves a certain level of net sales.
In April 2023, Sanofi S.A. completed its acquisition of Provention and the Company entered into a tripartite agreement with DRI and Sanofi under which it was released of any obligations under the Royalty Purchase Agreement. In September 2023, the Company and Sanofi executed Amendment No. 2 to the Provention APA and terminated the Royalty Purchase Agreement with DRI. As a result, the remaining $50.0 million sales milestone under the Royalty Purchase Agreement was incorporated into the Provention APA.
The Company evaluated the Provention APA under the provisions of ASC 606, and determined that the potential development and regulatory milestone payments are fully constrained until the Company concludes that achievement of the milestone is probable and that recognition of revenue related to the milestone will not result in a significant reversal in amounts recognized in future periods. Any consideration related to sales-based milestones will be recognized when the related sales occur. The Company re-assesses the transaction price in each reporting period and when events whose outcomes
are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, two regulatory milestones were achieved and the Company recognized $50.0 million in revenue. During the year ended December 31, 2024, no revenue was recognized under these agreements. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized revenue of $5.6 million under these agreements.
Manufacturing Services Agreements
Incyte
In January 2022, the Company entered into a Manufacturing and Clinical Supply Agreement with Incyte (2022 Incyte Manufacturing and Clinical Supply Agreement) to provide manufacturing services to produce certain Incyte bulk drug substance over a three-year period. Under the terms of the 2022 Incyte Manufacturing and Clinical Supply Agreement, the Company received an upfront payment of $10.0 million and was eligible to receive annual fixed payments paid quarterly over the term of the contract totaling $14.4 million. The Company was also reimbursed for materials used to manufacture product as well as other costs incurred to provide manufacturing services. In July 2022, the Company and Incyte executed an amendment to the Incyte Manufacturing and Clinical Supply Agreement which extended the term for one year and provided for an additional annual fixed payment of $5.1 million (July 2022 Incyte Amendment). In December 2024 and March 2025, the Company and Incyte entered into letter agreements whereby Incyte reserved additional manufacturing services during 2025 with a total fixed cost of $13.5 million (Incyte Letter Agreements).
The Company evaluated the Incyte Manufacturing and Clinical Supply Agreement, the July 2022 Incyte Amendment and the Incyte Letter Agreements under the provisions of ASC 606 and identified one performance obligation to provide manufacturing runs to Incyte, as and when requested by Incyte, over the term of the contract that is part of a series of goods and services. The Company determined that the transaction price consists of the upfront payment of $10.0 million, the annual fixed payments and the payments per batch under the Incyte Letter Agreements totaling $41.7 million. The Company is recognizing revenue over time on a straight-line basis as the manufacturing services are provided to Incyte, as the Company determined that its efforts in providing the manufacturing services are incurred evenly throughout the performance period and therefore straight-line revenue recognition closely approximates the level of effort for the manufacturing services. Variable consideration relating
F - 21
to the reimbursed materials and other reimbursed costs incurred to manufacture product for Incyte will be allocated to the related manufacturing activities and will be recognized as revenue as those activities occur. Materials purchased by the Company to manufacture the product for Incyte are considered inventory and are capitalized and expensed as the materials are used to provide the manufacturing services.
During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company recognized revenue of $36.8 million, $11.0 million and $9.7 million, respectively, under the 2022 Incyte Manufacturing and Clinical Supply Agreement. As of December 31, 2025, $1.5 million in revenue was deferred under this agreement, all of which was current.As of December 31, 2024, $3.4 million in revenue was deferred under this agreement, all of which was current.
In September 2025, the Company entered into a new Manufacturing and Clinical Supply Agreement with Incyte (2025 Incyte Manufacturing and Clinical Supply Agreement) to provide manufacturing services to produce certain Incyte bulk drug substance over a three-year period beginning in January 2026. Based on the current manufacturing schedule contemplated in the 2025 Incyte Manufacturing and Clinical Supply Agreement, Incyte will pay a total fixed cost of $16.8 million over the term of the agreement. The Company will also be reimbursed for materials used to manufacture product as well as other costs incurred to provide manufacturing services.
The Company evaluated the 2025 Incyte Manufacturing and Clinical Supply Agreement under the provisions of ASC 606 and identified one performance obligation to provide manufacturing runs to Incyte, as and when requested by Incyte, over the term of the contract that is part of a series of goods and services.
The Company will recognize revenue over time on a straight-line basis as the manufacturing services are provided to Incyte, as the Company determined that its efforts in providing the manufacturing services are incurred evenly throughout the performance period and therefore straight-line revenue recognition closely approximates the level of effort for the manufacturing services. Variable consideration relating to the reimbursed materials and other reimbursed costs incurred to manufacture product for Incyte will be allocated to the related manufacturing activities and will be recognized as revenue as those activities occur. Materials purchased by the Company to manufacture the product for Incyte are considered inventory and are capitalized and expensed as the materials are used to provide the manufacturing services. As of December 31, 2025, no revenue was recorded under this agreement.
Emergent Biosolutions
In 2024 and 2025, the Company entered into agreements with Emergent BioSolutions (Emergent) to provide manufacturing services to produce certain Emergent bulk drug substance (Emergent Agreement). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company receives payments in accordance with the manufacturing schedule and are reimbursed for materials used to manufacture product, as well as other costs incurred to provide development and manufacturing services. The Company evaluated the Emergent Agreement under the provisions of ASC 606 and identified one performance obligation to manufacture bulk drug substances over the term of the contract that is part of a series of goods and services. The Company determined that the transaction price consisted of $13.5 million of fixed consideration.

8. Stock-based Compensation
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In May 2017, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2016 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the 2016 ESPP). The 2016 ESPP is structured as a qualified employee stock purchase plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and is not subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The Company reserved 800,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2016 ESPP. The 2016 ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a discount through payroll deductions of up to 10% of their eligible compensation, subject to any plan limitations. The 2016 ESPP provides for six-month offering periods ending on May 31 and November 30 of each year.

F - 22
employees purchased 105,652 shares of common stock under the 2016 ESPP for net proceeds to the Company of approximately $0.1 million.
Employee Stock Incentive Plans
In October 2013, the Company implemented the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (2013 Plan). In May 2023, the 2013 Plan was terminated, and no further awards may be issued under the plan. If an option granted under the 2013 Plan expires or terminates for any reason without having been fully exercised, if any shares of restricted stock are forfeited, or if any award terminates, expires or is settled without all or a portion of the shares of common stock covered by the award being issued, such shares will become available for issuance under the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (2023 Plan).
As of December 31, 2025, under the 2013 Plan, there were options to purchase an aggregate of 9,202,161 shares of common stock outstanding at a weighted average exercise price of $14.27 per share. As of December 31, 2025, there were 144,263 unvested RSUs outstanding under the 2013 Plan.
The 2023 Plan was effective as of stockholder approval in May 2023 and provides for grants of stock options and other stock-based awards, as well as cash-based performance awards. The 2023 Plan has been amended pursuant to stockholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, and as of December 31, 2025, there are 8,100,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2023 Plan. If an option expires or terminates for any reason without having been fully exercised, if any shares of restricted stock are forfeited, or if any award terminates, expires or is settled without all or a portion of the shares of common stock covered by the award being issued, such shares are available for the grant of additional awards. However, any shares that are withheld (or delivered) to pay withholding taxes or to pay the exercise price of an option are not available for the grant of additional awards. As of December 31, 2025, under the 2023 Plan, there were options to purchase an aggregate of4,897,067 shares of common stock outstanding at a weighted average exercise price of $6.94 per share. As of December 31, 2025, there were 601,328 unvested RSUs outstanding under the 2023 Plan.
The following stock-based compensation amounts were recognized for the periods indicated (in thousands):
Year Ended December 31,
On October 25, 2024, Dr. Scott Koenig, the former President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Company entered into a separation and consulting agreement (the Separation Agreement), which provided for the terms of Dr. Koenig’s separation from employment. The Company evaluated the impacts of the Separation Agreement and the related modifications to Dr. Koenig’s option awards and RSU awards.As a result, the Company recognized all additional stock-based compensation expense in 2024 in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (ASC 718) in the amount of $6.1 million.
The assumptions used to estimate the fair value of Dr. Koenig’s modified awards in 2024 were as follows:
Expected dividend yield 0%
Risk-free interest rate 4.2% - 4.3%
Expected term 1.00 year - 5.50 years
Employee Stock Options
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees and non-employee directors in accordance with ASC 718. The Company estimates the fair value of stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the date of grant using the assumptions in the table below. Stock options granted to employees generally vest over four years and have a term of ten years. Stock-based compensation expense for stock options is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. As the Company has not paid dividends since inception, nor does it expect to pay any dividends for the foreseeable future, the expected dividend yield assumption is zero. The expected volatility is based on the historical stock volatility of the Company’s own common stock over a period equal to the expected term of the options. The risk-free rate of the stock options is based on the U.S. Treasury rate in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the
F - 23
stock options. The Company calculates expected term based on the historical experience with similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the share-based awards, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior. In addition, the Company estimates the expected forfeiture rate and only recognizes expense for those shares expected to vest. The Company estimates the forfeiture rate based on historical experience and its expectations regarding future pre-vesting termination behavior of employees. The Company reviews its estimate of the expected forfeiture rate annually, and stock-based compensation expense is adjusted accordingly.

At December 31, 2025, there was $2.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs, which the Company expects to recognize over a remaining weighted-average period of1.0 year.
9. TerSera Transaction
In October 2024, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement (ASA) with TerSera in which TerSera acquired global rights to MARGENZA. Pursuant to the ASA, the Company received $40.0 million and may also receive up to $35.0 million in future sales milestone payments. The transaction closed in November 2024. In connection with the ASA, the Company also entered into a Master Manufacturing & Supply Agreement (MSA) with TerSera under which it will manufacture MARGENZA product for TerSera, and a Transition Services Agreement under which it will provide certain services to ensure a smooth business transition to TerSera.
The Company determined that the sale of MARGENZA does not qualify for reporting as a discontinued operation since it does not represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on its operations and financial results. The Company determined that the agreements should be accounted for as one single combined contract with multiple elements under which the Company allocated the total consideration of $44.5 million on a relative standalone selling price basis in accordance with the applicable authoritative guidance. The Company recorded a $36.3 million gain on the sale of MARGENZA and related inventory in the “Gain on Sale of MARGENZA” line on its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2024.
10. Royalty Monetization Arrangement
In June 2025, the Company and Sagard entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (Royalty Purchase Agreement) pursuant to which the Company sold to Sagard its right to receive royalties on global net sales of ZYNYZ (retifanlimab-dlwr) occurring on and after July 1, 2025 under the Company’s Global Collaboration and License Agreement, dated as of October 24, 2017, as amended (Incyte License Agreement), with Incyte Corporation (Incyte).
