Overview
We are an innovative, commercial-stage biotechnology company that discovers and develops first-in-class protein and small-molecule therapeutics for large-market and orphan indications, with particular emphasis on complement-mediated diseases, cancers, and addictive or compulsive disorders.
Complement Inhibitor Programs
The complement system plays a role in the body’s inflammatory response and becomes activated as a result of tissue damage or trauma or microbial pathogen invasion. Inappropriate or uncontrolled activation of the complement system can cause diseases characterized by serious tissue injury. Three main pathways can activate the complement system: classical, lectin, and alternative. We are focused on development of therapeutics to treat diseases associated with the lectin and/or alternative pathways of complement. We are developing antibodies as well as small-molecule inhibitors of key enzymes known to be centrally involved in the in activation of the targeted pathway of complement.
Lectin Pathway / MASP-2
MASP-2 is a novel pro-inflammatory protein target that is the effector enzyme of the lectin pathway and is required for the function of this pathway. We are developing antibodies and small-molecule inhibitors of MASP-2 as potential therapeutics for diseases in which the lectin pathway has been shown to contribute to significant tissue injury and pathology. When not treated, these diseases are typically characterized by significant end-organ damage, such as kidney or central nervous system injury. Importantly, inhibition of MASP-2 has been demonstrated not to interfere with the antibody-dependent classical complement activation pathway, a critical component of the acquired immune response to infection.
The lead product and product candidate in our pipeline of complement-targeted therapeutics is narsoplimab (OMS721), a proprietary, patented human monoclonal antibody targeting MASP-2, the key activator of the lectin pathway of complement. Our lead lectin pathway inhibitor YARTEMLEA® (narsoplimab-wuug) is FDA-approved and commercially available in the U.S. for the treatment of TA-TMA in adult and pediatric patients aged two years and older. An MAA for YARTEMLEA in TA-TMA is currently under review by the EMA. Clinical development of narsoplimab is anticipated to continue to expand the approved label in TA-TMA and to develop the drug in additional indications. Clinical development efforts have previously been directed to ARDS, including severe acute COVID-19, which can result in PASC. We are also developing OMS1029, our long-acting antibody targeting MASP-2, which we expect will be well-suited to indications requiring long-term, chronic administration. In addition, we have directed efforts towards the development of small-molecule inhibitors of MASP-2, designed for oral administration. For more information, see Part I, Item 1 in this Annual Report on Form 10-K under the heading “Complement Inhibitor Programs: MASP-2 Program – Lectin Pathway Disorders”.
Commercial Product – YARTEMLEA
Our commercial product, YARTEMLEA, is the first and only approved inhibitor of the lectin pathway of complement. On December 23, 2025, FDA approved YARTEMLEA for the treatment of TA-TMA in adults and in children ages two years and older. TA-TMA is a severe and often-fatal complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in adults and children, driven by systemic endothelial injury triggered by conditioning regimens, immunosuppressants, infection, graft-versus-host disease, and other transplant-related factors. Activation of the lectin pathway of complement plays a central role in disease pathogenesis. YARTEMLEA selectively inhibits MASP-2, blocking pathway activation while preserving classical and alternative complement functions important for host defense. In TA-TMA, MASP-2 inhibition prevents lectin pathway-mediated cellular injury, including endothelial damage in small blood vessels, and thrombus formation.
Commercial distribution and sales of YARTEMLEA commenced in January 2026.
For more information, see Part I, Item 1 in this Annual Report on Form 10-K under the heading “Overview: OurCommercial Product – YARTEMLEA”.
Sale of Zaltenibart / MASP-3
On November 25, 2025, we completed the Transaction pursuant to our APLA with Novo Nordisk for our candidate drug zaltenibart (formerly OMS906). Zaltenibart is a first-in-class, late-stage clinical humanized monoclonal antibody targeting MASP-3, the most upstream and key activator of the alternative pathway of the complement system. Zaltenibart has shown multiple potential advantages over other alternative pathway inhibitors in development and on the market.
At the closing of the Transaction, we received an upfront cash payment of $240.0 million. In addition, we are eligible to receive (i) up to $510.0 million in one-time milestone payments upon the first achievement by Novo Nordisk or its affiliates or sublicensees of each of the development and approval milestone events as set forth in the APLA and (ii) up to $1.3 billion in one-time milestone payments upon the first achievement by Novo Nordisk or its affiliates or sublicensees of certain sales-based milestone events as set forth in the APLA. We are also eligible under the APLA to receive tiered royalties on annual net sales of products at percentage rates ranging from high single digit to high teens, subject to reduction in certain circumstances, as set forth in the APLA. In total, we are eligible to receive up to an additional $1.8 billion in potential development and commercial milestones, plus tiered royalties on net sales.
Pursuant to the APLA, we sold and transferred, and Novo Nordisk purchased zaltenibart and certain related assets, and the parties agreed to grant and receive certain intellectual property licenses to facilitate the continued development and commercialization activities of both companies. We retain rights to our MASP-3 small-molecule program unrelated to zaltenibart, including the ability to develop and commercialize small-molecule MASP-3 inhibitors, across a range of therapeutic areas, including, but not limited to, ophthalmology, neurology, gastrointestinal disorders, dermatology, musculoskeletal diseases, and oncology. We also retain rights to our “grandfathered” MASP-3 antibodies, with temporal and indication restrictions on commercialization and for use in advancing our small-molecule therapeutics.
In accordance with the APLA, at the closing of the Transaction, Omeros and Novo Nordisk entered into the Transition Services Agreement pursuant to which we are providing certain transition services to Novo Nordisk to facilitate the transfer of the acquired assets and liabilities under the APLA and to provide for the continued operation of relevant studies and program activities during the applicable term. Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, Novo Nordisk reimburses us for costs and expenses we incur under the Transition Services Agreement, including third-party costs and expenses, costs associated with delivery of transition services by Omeros personnel on an hourly basis at rates specified in the Transition Services Agreement, and for our inventories of zaltenibart drug substance and product.
Other Development Programs
PDE7 Inhibitor Program
Our PDE7 inhibitor program, which we refer to as OMS527, comprises multiple PDE7 inhibitor compounds and is based on our discoveries of previously unknown links between PDE7 and any addiction or compulsive disorder, and between PDE7 and any movement disorders. In April 2023, we were awarded a grant from NIDA, part of the National Institutes of Health, to develop our lead orally administered PDE7 inhibitor compound, for which we have successfully completed a Phase 1 study, for the treatment of cocaine use disorder. With NIDA funding, we successfully completed preclinical cocaine interaction/toxicology studies to assess safety of the OMS527 compound when co-administered with cocaine. FDA subsequently requested additional preclinical information prior to initiating the clinical in-patient study in cocaine users. Together with our collaborators at NIDA, we are scheduled to meet with FDA to discuss that request. For more information, see Part I, Item 1 in this Annual Report on Form 10-K under the heading “Other Development Programs: PDE7 Inhibitor Programs – OMS527”.
Preclinical Programs - OncotoX-AML
We continue to progress preclinical studies within our novel oncology program, which is focused on developing novel, proprietary large molecule therapeutics designed to selectively target and kill dividing cancer cells. We have completed selection of a drug development candidate, and IND-enabling studies are underway for this program, which we refer to as OncotoX-AML. AML, an aggressive and highly fatal bone marrow and blood cancer, is the lead indication for development. The effectiveness of current AML treatments, such as chemotherapeutics and antibody-drug conjugates, is limited by a number of factors, including high relapse rates and substantial side effects.
OncotoX-AML is an engineered biologic designed to selectively kill both AML blasts (abnormal myeloid cells) and relapse-related leukemia stem cells. Its unique mechanism of action is independent of myeloid cell genetic mutations, including TP53, NPM1, KMT2A, and FLT3, which are collectively found in approximately 90% of AML patients and are historically difficult to treat. For more information, see Part I, Item 1 in this Annual Report on Form 10-K under the heading “Other Development Programs: OncotoX-AML”.
Preclinical Programs - T-CAT
We are also advancing our T-CAT platform: a new class of recombinant antibodies intended for broad action against bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites. T-CAT is designed to harness complement activation to kill pathogens directly, which represents a novel approach to infectious disease treatment.
As preclinical animal data continue to accumulate across multiple pathogen classes and species, we believe that T-CAT demonstrates potential against MDROs. Effective MDRO therapies remain one of the most urgent and unmet needs in medicine, and we believe that T-CAT has the potential to address this need without contributing to drug resistance. For more information, see Part I, Item 1 in this Annual Report on Form 10-K under the heading “Other Development Programs: T-CAT - Infectious Disease”.
OMIDRIA Sale and Royalty Monetization Transactions
We previously developed and commercialized OMIDRIA® (phenylephrine and ketorolac intraocular solutions) 1%/0.3%, which is approved by FDA for use during cataract surgery or intraocular lens replacement (“IOL”) to maintain pupil size by preventing intraoperative miosis (pupil constriction) and to reduce postoperative ocular pain. We marketed OMIDRIA in the U.S. from the time of its commercial launch in 2015 until December 2021.
On December 23, 2021, we sold OMIDRIA to Rayner pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated December 1, 2021 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”). In February 2023, we received a $200.0 million milestone payment from Rayner (the “Milestone Payment”), plus accrued interest, upon an event (the “Milestone Event”) that established separate payment for OMIDRIA for a continuous period of at least four years when furnished in an ambulatory surgery center (“ASC”) setting. The Asset Purchase Agreement also provides for the payment of royalties by Rayner based on Rayner's net sales of OMIDRIA for a term that extends for the life of the patents covering OMIDRIA in the relevant jurisdiction, the longest of which in the United States is currently into 2035. The applicable royalty rates are currently 30% in the United States and 15% outside the United States (“ex-U.S.”), subject to reduction upon certain events described in the Asset Purchase Agreement.
Upon the occurrence of certain events described in the Asset Purchase Agreement, including during any specific period in which OMIDRIA is no longer eligible for separate payment (i.e., becomes included in the packaged payment rate for the surgical procedure) under Medicare Part B, or in certain circumstances involving entry of generic competition for OMIDRIA, the U.S. base royalty rate would be further reduced to 10%. Pursuant to legislation enacted in late 2022, we expect separate payment for OMIDRIA under Medicare Part B to extend until at least January 1, 2028.
As a result of the OMIDRIA divestiture, we recorded an OMIDRIA contract royalty asset on our consolidated balance sheet. The results of OMIDRIA activities are classified as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented. See Part II, Item 8, “Note 8 — Discontinued Operations – Sale of OMIDRIA” to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
On September 30, 2022, we entered into a Royalty Purchase Agreement (the “Original Agreement”) with DRI Healthcare Acquisitions LP (“DRI”) under which we received $125.0 million in exchange for a portion of the royalties to which we were entitled from Rayner under the Asset Purchase Agreement on global net sales of OMIDRIA between September 1, 2022 and December 31, 2030, subject to certain annual caps on the royalty amounts payable to DRI. DRI was entitled under that arrangement to receive royalties on OMIDRIA net sales between September 1, 2022 and December 31, 2030, subject to certain annual caps.
On February 1, 2024, we sold an expanded interest in our future OMIDRIA royalties to DRI under an Amended and Restated Royalty Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”) for which we received $115.5 million in cash consideration. We record the amounts payable to DRI as an OMIDRIA royalty obligation on our consolidated balance sheet. The Amendment eliminated the previously existing annual caps on royalty payments after January 1, 2024, and provides that DRI receives all royalties on U.S. net sales of OMIDRIA payable between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2031. All royalties earned on OMIDRIA sales within the U.S. through December 31, 2031 are remitted by Rayner to an escrow account established by Omeros, from which payments are made to DRI.
We retain the rights to receive all royalties payable by Rayner on any net sales of OMIDRIA outside the U.S. as well as royalties on global net sales of OMIDRIA payable from and after December 31, 2031. To date, international royalties have not been significant.
DRI has no recourse to our assets other than its interest in OMIDRIA royalties. Interest expense on the OMIDRIA royalty obligation is recorded as a component of continuing operations. See Part II, Item 8, “Note 9 – OMIDRIA Royalty Obligation” to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
Debt Financing Transactions
Repayment at Maturity of 2023 Notes
On November 15, 2023, we extinguished $95.0 million of our 6.25% convertible senior notes (the “2023 Notes”) at par upon maturity.
Repurchase of 2026 Notes for Cash
In December 2023, we repurchased $9.1 million par value of our 2026 Notes on the open market at approximately 55% of par value, realizing a $4.1 million non-cash gain on extinguishment.
Exchange of 2026 Notes for Term Loan and Cash
On June 3, 2024, we, with certain subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into a Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with certain funds managed by Athyrium Capital Management, LP and certain funds managed by Highbridge Capital Management, LLC, as lenders (together with additional lenders from time to time, the “Lenders”) and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as administrative agent and collateral agent. Along with borrowings of $67.1 million under the Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan”) and $21.7 million of cash on hand (for a total aggregate purchase price of $88.8 million), we repurchased from the lenders $118.1 million aggregate principal amount of our 2026 Notes. The $29.3 million difference between the $118.1 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes and the $88.8 million aggregate repurchase price was recorded as a premium (i.e., an increase) to the Term Loan on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet instead of being recognized as a gain on early extinguishment of debt as this was accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring.
Exchange of 2026 Notes for 2029 Notes and Equitization Transaction
On May 14, 2025, we completed the exchange (the “Convertible Note Exchange”) of $70.8 million of our 2026 Notes on a one-for-one basis for newly-issued 2029 Notes. The Convertible Note Exchange was conducted with a limited number of holders of the 2026 Notes pursuant to exchange agreements dated as of May 12, 2025. The 2029 Notes are convertible at the option of the holders into shares of common stock, cash or a combination thereof, as elected by the Company, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. Holders who convert their 2029 Notes after November 13, 2025 and prior to June 1, 2029 (except for any conversion in connection with a make-whole fundamental change) are entitled to an interest make-whole payment equal to the sum of the remaining scheduled payments of interest that would have been made had the 2029 Notes remained outstanding from their conversion date through the earlier of (i) the date that is 18 months following their conversion date, and (ii) June 15, 2029, the maturity date. The initial conversion rate for the 2029 Notes is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $6.18 per share of our common stock. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.
The 2029 Notes include both a derivative for the interest make-whole feature and a derivative for the conversion feature available to holders allowing them to convert their notes to common stock, cash or a combination thereof. At each reporting date, we remeasure the embedded derivative instruments to fair market value. Increases or decreases in our stock price may materially affect the fair value of the derivative. The remeasurement of the derivative is presented in our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. At contract inception, we recorded a net $23.0 million embedded derivative as a component of our 2029 Notes. However, with the sale of OMS906 to Novo Nordisk and the announcement of FDA approval of TA-TMA, our stock price significantly increased. At December 31, 2025, the fair market value of our embedded derivative was $157.2 million. We marked-to-market the initial $23.0 million embedded derivative on the 2029 Notes and recorded a $134.2 million non-cash loss on remeasurement to our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
On May 12, 2025, we entered into the note conversion agreements (each, a “Note Conversion Agreement”) with two holders of the 2026 Notes to convert $10.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes into shares of our common stock in three tranches. We completed the conversion of the final tranche in September 2025, resulting in the issuance of an aggregate of 2,819,866 shares of our common stock to the two holders in exchange for the $10.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes. We did not receive new cash proceeds in these transactions. We performed an assessment of the Convertible Note Exchange and Equitization Transaction and determined that these transactions were not a troubled debt restructuring and were a partial extinguishment of our 2026 Notes.
These transactions resulted in a net $3.0 million non-cash loss on extinguishment of the 2026 Notes due to (1) expensing of the unamortized debt issuance costs of the extinguished 2026 Notes, (2) recording the 2029 Notes to fair market value (i.e., at a discount) which we recorded both to our statement of operations and comprehensive loss and as debt on our balance sheet and (3) recording the fair market value of the share-settled liability upon settlement.
Repayment of Term Loan
On November 25, 2025, concurrent with the closing of the sale and licensing of zaltenibart (OMS906) to Novo Nordisk under the APLA, we were required under the terms of the Credit Agreement to repay in full the $67.1 million principal outstanding under the Term Loan along with a 5% prepayment premium. We recognized a net non-cash gain on extinguishment in the amount of $17.0 million which represents the de-recognition of $17.9 million in unamortized premium and debt issuance costs, derecognition of $2.6 million of embedded derivatives, partially offset by $3.5 million of prepayment premium and related transaction expenses.
Repayment of our obligations under the Credit Agreement resulted in the release in full of all liens and covenants thereunder including the covenant requiring us to maintain a minimum of $25.0 million in unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at all times.
Repayment at Maturity of Remaining 2026 Notes
On February 17, 2026, we repaid the remaining $17.1 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2026 Notes in full upon maturity.
See Part II, Item 8, “Note 7 – Debt” and “Note 12 – Shareholders Equity (Deficit)” to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on any of these refinancing transactions.
Equity Financing Transactions
At the Market Sales Agreement
We have a sales agreement to sell shares of our common stock from time to time, through an “at the market” (“ATM”) equity offering program. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we sold 4.4 million shares of common stock pursuant to our ATM program, generating $19.0 million in net proceeds at an average price per share of $4.51. On November 14, 2025, the Company filed a shelf registration statement and prospectus supplement renewing the ATM program for an aggregate offering price up to $150.0 million, and as of the date of this annual report, we have $150.0 million in shares of our common stock available to sell under our ATM program.
Registered Direct Offering
On July 28, 2025, we issued and sold 5,365,853 shares of our common stock in a registered direct offering to entities managed by Polar Asset Management Partners at a price of $4.10 per share, representing a 14% premium to the closing price of our common stock on the date of the definitive agreement for the purchase of shares. We received $20.3 million in cash proceeds net of offering expenses.
Share Repurchase Programs
On November 9, 2023, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which we were permitted to repurchase from time to time up to $50.0 million of our common stock in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. For the year ended December 31, 2023, we repurchased and retired 1.8 million shares of common stock at an average price of $2.54 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $4.7 million. During the first quarter of 2024, we repurchased and retired 3.2 million shares of common stock at an average of $3.71 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $11.9 million. The terms of the Credit Agreement prohibited us from repurchasing our common stock unless expressly agreed to by the Lenders. Consequently, the Board of Directors terminated the share repurchase program effective upon the execution of the Credit Agreement in May 2024. Repayment of our obligations under the Credit Agreement resulted in the release in full of all liens and covenants thereunder including the covenant prohibiting the Company from repurchasing its shares.
On November 29, 2025, the Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program under which we are permitted to repurchase from time to time up to $100.0 million of our common stock in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions.
See Part II, Item 8, “Note 12 – Shareholders Equity (Deficit)” to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on any of these refinancing transactions.
Financial Summary
As of December 31, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $171.8 million. We had $87.9 million in aggregate principal amount of debt at December 31, 2025, reflecting a decrease of $77.1 million or 46.7% compared to our $164.9 million in aggregate principal amount of debt at December 31, 2024.

Results of Operations
Research and Development Expenses
Our research and development expenses can be divided into three categories: direct external expenses, which include clinical research and development and preclinical research and development activities; internal overhead and other expenses; and stock-based compensation expense. Direct external expenses consist primarily of expenses incurred pursuant to agreements with third-party manufacturing organizations prior to receiving regulatory approval for a product candidate, CROs, clinical trial sites, collaborators, licensors and consultants. Preclinical research and development includes costs prior to beginning Phase 1 studies in human subjects. Internal overhead and other expenses primarily consist of costs for personnel, overhead, rent, utilities and depreciation. Our accounting policy is to expense all manufacturing costs related to product candidates until regulatory approval is reasonably assured in either the U.S. or EU.
The following table illustrates our expenses associated with these activities:

(In thousands)
Research and development expenses:
Direct external expenses:
Clinical research and development:
Clinical research and development expenses decreased $33.5 million between 2025 and 2024. This change was primarily due to releasing $17.5 million in narsoplimab and $4.4 million of zaltenibart drug substance batches in the prior year. We experienced further reduction in spend of $5.5 million during the year related to the further close out of our IgA nephropathy program. In addition, we have also been in the process of closing out and winding down various studies as they relate to Phase 1 of OMS1029 and early Phase 2 studies of OMS906.
Clinical research and development expenses increased $0.5 million between 2024 and 2023. The change primarily relates to $16.1 million of TA-TMA drug manufacturing costs in anticipation of our BLA, mentioned above, and $2.1 million in zaltenibart clinical trials expense and associated costs to manufacture drug supply. These costs are partially offset by a $15.5 million reduction in IgA nephropathy expenses with the closing out of the program and a $2.2 million reduction in OMS1029 expenses primarily due to the completion of one of our single ascending dose studies.
Preclinical research and development expenses decreased $2.4 million in 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to the completion of certain animal studies under our NIDA grant. In 2025, we also engaged in general cost cutting measures to conserve cash in anticipation of BLA approval of YARTEMLEA.
Preclinical research and development expenses increased $1.3 million in 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due to increased preclinical oncology research and cocaine addiction work related to our NIDA grant during 2024.
38
Table of Contents
Internal overhead and other expenses decreased $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 primarily due to reduced employee compensation costs and reduced overhead. Internal overhead and other expenses increased $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily due to additional employee related costs and having received an employee retention tax credit in the prior year that was recorded as an offset to expense.
The changes in stock-based compensation expense between the three covered years were due to the valuation and timing of the vesting of employee stock options.
We expect our overall research and development costs in 2026 to be lower than in 2025. This anticipated decrease is primarily attributable to reduced clinical trial costs for zaltenibart as these program costs will be incurred by Novo Nordisk in connection with the APLA and the Transition Services Agreement, the absence of development milestone payments under our existing licensing agreement related to zaltenibart, and reduced spend on overall drug manufacturing. Our accounting policy is to expense all manufacturing costs related to product candidates until regulatory approval is reasonably assured in either the U.S. or Europe.
At this time, we are unable to estimate with certainty the longer-term costs we will incur in the continued development of our product candidates due to the inherently unpredictable nature of our preclinical and clinical development activities. Clinical development timelines, the probability of success and development costs can differ materially as new data become available and as expectations change. Our future research and development expenses will depend, in part, on the preclinical or clinical success of each product candidate as well as ongoing assessments of each program’s commercial potential. In addition, we cannot forecast with precision which product candidates, if any, may be subject to future collaborations, when such arrangements will be secured, if at all, and to what degree such arrangements would affect our development plans and capital requirements.
We are required to expend substantial resources in the development of our product candidates due to the lengthy process of completing clinical trials and seeking regulatory approval. Any failure or delay in completing clinical trials, or in obtaining regulatory approvals, could delay our generation of product revenue and increase our research and development expenses.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Our selling, general and administrative expenses are comprised primarily of salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation costs for marketing and administrative personnel who are not directly engaged in research and development. Costs also include marketing expenses, professional and legal services, general corporate costs and an allocation of our occupancy costs.
Year Ended December 31,
(In thousands)
Selling, general and administrative expenses:
Total selling, general and administrative expenses $ 41,500 $ 47,430 $ 49,660
Selling, general and administrative expense, excluding stock-based compensation expense, decreased $4.2 million between 2025 and 2024 primarily due to reduced spend on third-party consultants and legal fees. In addition, we enacted cost containment measures in 2025 to conserve cash in anticipation of the launch of YARTEMLEA. The changes in stock-based compensation expense between the three covered years were due to the valuation and timing of vesting related to employee stock options.
We expect selling, general and administrative expenses in 2026 to increase compared to 2025, primarily reflecting costs associated with building our commercial infrastructure, including the hiring of a field sales force, marketing expenditures, and other commercial launch activities for YARTEMLEA.

In November 2025, concurrent with the closing of the sale of zaltenibart to Novo Nordisk, the Company repaid in full the $67.1 million principal outstanding under the Term Loan. As a result, we recognized a net non-cash gain on extinguishment in the amount of $17.0 million which represents the de-recognition of $17.9 million in unamortized premium and debt issuance costs, derecognition of $2.6 million of embedded derivatives, offset by $3.5 million of prepayment premium and related transaction expenses.

Gain (loss) on early extinguishment of 2026 Notes $ (2,968 ) $ — $ 4,112
In May 2025, we completed the Convertible Note Exchange and entered into the Equitization Transaction whereby we exchanged $70.8 million of aggregate principal amount of our 2026 Notes for the same aggregate principal amount of our new 2029 Notes and $10.0 million of aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes for shares of our common stock. Our obligation to deliver these shares in three tranches was initially accounted for as a share-settled liability measured at fair value. We completed the conversion of the final tranche in September 2025, resulting in the issuance of an aggregate of 2,819,866 shares of our common stock to the two holders in exchange for the $10.0 million of aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes. These transactions resulted in a net $3.0 million non-cash loss on extinguishment of our 2026 Notes due to (i) expensing of the unamortized debt issuance costs of the extinguished 2026 Notes, (ii) recording the 2029 Notes to fair market value (i.e., at a discount) which we recorded both to our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss and as debt on our consolidated balance sheet and (iii) recording the fair market value of the share-settled liability upon settlement.
In December 2023, we repurchased $9.1 million par value of our 2026 Notes at a discount, realizing a $4.1 million non-cash gain on extinguishment.
Interest and Other Income
Year Ended December 31,
(In thousands)
Interest and other income principally includes interest earned on our investments, and to a lesser extent, sublease income and grant income from NIDA. The decreases over both years are primarily due to holding lower average cash and investment balances than in the preceding year.
We expect interest and other income in 2026 to be higher than 2025 primarily due to higher average cash and investment balances during 2026.

Interest expense is comprised of contractual cash and accrued interest on our 2029 Notes, 2026 Notes, 2023 Notes and Term Loan. In addition, we record pass through interest on the OMIDRIA royalty obligation, non-cash interest comprised of remeasurement adjustments taken on our OMIDRIA royalty obligation and amortization of debt discount or premiums on our notes and term debt.
Interest expense, net of premiums, discounts, issuance costs and remeasurement adjustments is shown below:

Interest on our OMIDRIA royalty obligation is calculated under the effective interest method and represents a portion of the royalties remitted by Rayner to our administrative agent, Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, along with principal. Pass-through interest paid to DRI is offset by non-cash remeasurement adjustments taken to properly reflect the OMIDRIA royalty obligation for changes in probable cash flows on our future expected Rayner royalties.
Contractual interest expense is comprised of cash interest paid during the year and the net change in accrued interest. Amortization of debt discounts, premiums and issuance costs are reflected as non-cash interest expense. Debt discounts on the 2026 Notes and 2029 Notes are accretive whereas the premium on the Term Loan is deducted from contractual interest expense.
Interest expense decreased $25.6 million in 2025 compared to 2024. The decrease primarily relates to a $27.8 million change in non-cash remeasurement costs on the OMIDRIA royalty obligation to reflect a change in forecasted OMIDRIA cash flows from Rayner. Excluding any non-cash remeasurement adjustments of the DRI royalty obligation and any non-cash amortization of debt discount, premium, or issuance costs, contractual interest expense remains relatively unchanged from the prior year.
Interest expense decreased $6.2 million in 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to the extinguishment of $95.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2023 Notes at maturity in November 2023 and partially repurchasing $127.2 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2026 Notes in December 2023 and June 2024 for a collective reduction in interest expense of $10.2 million. This decrease was partially offset by increased interest expense of $3.2 million related to our OMIDRIA royalty obligation as we added $115.5 million of principal upon sale in February 2024 to DRI of our remaining OMIDRIA U.S. royalty earnings through 2031. In addition, with the execution of the Credit Agreement, we incurred $0.8 million in effective interest on our Term Loan.

Interest on OMIDRIA contract royalty asset
During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we recorded $14.7 million, $16.9 million and $15.3 million, respectively, of income in discontinued operations representing interest income on the outstanding OMIDRIA contract royalty asset at an implied effective interest rate of 11.0%.
Remeasurement Adjustments
Periodically, but at least annually, we remeasure the OMIDRIA contract royalty asset when there is a greater probability of achieving materially higher or lower royalty earnings than previously expected. To measure the OMIDRIA contract royalty asset, we use the expected value approach, which is the sum of the discounted probability-weighted royalty payments we would receive using a range of potential outcomes, to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative income recognized will not occur. Remeasurement is impacted by any changes to the probability-weighting applied to the range of potential outcomes that could occur. For further discussion of discontinued operations, please refer to Part II, Item 8, “Note 8 – Discontinued Operations – Sale of OMIDRIA” to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Milestone Income
The Milestone Event occurred in December 2022, entitling us to receive a Milestone Payment of $200.0 million from Rayner. We received the Milestone Payment together with accrued interest in February 2023.
Income Tax Expense
For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we recorded state income tax expense of $0.6 million, $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in discontinued operations.

Financial Condition- Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Transaction with Novo Nordisk, which closed on November 25, 2025, provided us with $240.0 million in upfront cash. Under the Credit Agreement, the Company used a portion of the proceeds from the Transaction to repay the $67.1 million outstanding principal on the Term Loan, along with $3.5 million in related prepayment premiums and transaction expenses. Repayment of our obligations under the Credit Agreement resulted in the release in full of all liens and covenants thereunder, including the covenant requiring us to maintain a minimum of $25.0 million in unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at all times.
As of December 31, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $171.8 million. We had $87.9 million in aggregate principal amount of debt at December 31, 2025, reflecting a decrease of $77.1 million, or 46.7%, compared to $164.9 million in aggregate principal amount of debt at December 31, 2024. Subsequent to year end, we repaid at maturity the remaining $17.1 million aggregate principal amount of our 2026 Notes in February 2026.
We expect that we will be able to fund more than 12 months of operations from the remaining proceeds from our current cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, along with funds we expect to receive from commercial sales of YARTEMLEA from the date of issuance of the financial statements.
Should it be necessary or determined to be strategically advantageous, we also could pursue public and private offerings of our equity securities, debt transactions or restructurings, future royalty sales, or other strategic transactions, which may include licensing or selling a portion or all of one or more of our existing technologies. In addition, we have a sales agreement to sell shares of our common stock, from time to time, in an “at the market” equity offering facility through which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock equaling an aggregate amount of up to $150.0 million.

(In thousands)
Selected cash flow data
Cash provided by (used in):
Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities decreased by $32.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The change was primarily due to a decrease in net loss of $153.5 million and $112.8 million of change in non-cash charges, partially offset by a $237.6 million gain on sale of zaltenibart to Novo Nordisk.
Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 decreased by $223.5 million compared to the same period in 2023. This change was primarily due to collecting the $200.0 million Milestone Payment from Rayner in February 2023 and a $15.5 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the current year.
Investing Activities. Net cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased $82.3 million as compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to proceeds received from the sale of zaltenibart in the fourth quarter.
Net cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased $54.8 million as compared to the same period in 2023. Significant initial investment purchases during the periods were the investment of the $200.0 million Milestone Payment we received from Rayner in February 2023 and the $115.5 million we received from DRI in February 2024 related to the sale of future OMIDRIA royalties.
Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities increased $105.1 million during 2025 compared to the prior year primarily due to (i) receiving $115.5 million in cash from DRI for the sale of future OMIDRIA royalties in February 2024 and (ii) repayment of the Term Loan of $67.1 million along with payments totaling $3.5 million related to prepayment premiums and transaction related fees. These changes were partially offset by net proceeds received from a registered direct offering of $20.3 million, net issuances of common stock through our ATM of $19.0 million and an increase in proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $7.1 million in the current year. Additionally, we used $21.7 million to repurchase our 2026 Notes and $11.9 million to repurchase common stock.
Net cash provided by financing activities increased $169.0 million during 2024 compared to the prior year. The increase was primarily due to receiving $115.5 million in cash from DRI related to the sale of future OMIDRIA royalties in February 2024 and extinguishing $95.0 million of par value on our 2023 Notes at maturity in August 2023. This was partially offset by increased payments to DRI of $17.6 million in 2024 related to the OMIDRIA royalty obligation, an additional $16.9 million paid to repurchase our 2026 Notes and increased common stock repurchases of $7.2 million.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Operating and Finance Leases
We have operating leases related to our office and laboratory space. The initial term of the leases is through November 2027, and we have two options to extend the lease term, each by five years. As of December 31, 2025, the remaining aggregate non-cancelable rent payable under the initial term of the lease, excluding common area maintenance and related operating expenses, was $12.7 million.
We have finance leases for certain laboratory and office equipment that have lease terms expiring through October 2029. As of December 31, 2025, the remaining aggregate non-cancellable finance lease payable was $1.3 million.

We may be required, in connection with in-licensing or asset acquisition agreements, to make certain royalty and milestone payments and we cannot, at this time, determine when or if the related milestones will be achieved or whether the events triggering the commencement of payment obligations will occur. For information regarding agreements that include these royalty and milestone payment obligations, see Part II, Item 8, “Note 11 - Commitments and Contingencies” to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances; however, actual results could differ from those estimates. An accounting policy is considered critical if it is important to a company’s financial condition and results of operations and if it requires the exercise of significant judgment and the use of estimates on the part of management in its application. Although we believe that our judgments and estimates are appropriate, actual results may differ materially from our estimates. For a summary of our critical accounting policies, see Part II, Item 8, “Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies” to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We believe the following to be our critical accounting policies because they are both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and they require critical judgment by management and estimates about matters that are uncertain:
● OMIDRIA royalties and contract asset accounting;
● OMIDRIA royalty obligation accounting;
● accounting for debt issuances, primarily related to fair valuing debt and issuance costs; and
● valuation of embedded derivative.

Table of Contents
If actual results or events differ materially from those contemplated by us in making these estimates, our reported financial condition and results of operations for future periods could be materially affected.
OMIDRIA Royalties, Milestones and Contract Royalty Assets
We have rights to receive future royalties from Rayner on OMIDRIA net sales at royalty rates that vary based on geography and certain regulatory contingencies. Therefore, future OMIDRIA royalties are treated as variable consideration. To measure the OMIDRIA contract royalty asset, we used the expected value approach, which is the discounted sum of probability-weighted royalty payments we would receive using a range of potential outcomes at an implied effective interest rate of 11%. The contract royalty asset excludes any revenue which potentially may be reversed in the event of an over estimation.
We receive monthly royalty reports of Rayner’s OMIDRIA product sales in accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement. Upon the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement, we determined the expected minimum net present value of future OMIDRIA royalty receipts and recognized the amount as a gain on the sale of OMIDRIA in discontinued operations on our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income and as an OMIDRIA contract royalty asset on our consolidated balance sheet.
Upon achieving the Milestone Event in February 2023, the royalty rate applicable to U.S. net sales of OMIDRIA was reduced from 50% to 30%. The 30% royalty rate continues until the expiration or termination of the last issued and unexpired U.S. patent, which we expect to occur no earlier than 2035. We currently earn a royalty rate of 15% on net ex-U.S. sales. Royalties earned are recorded as a reduction to the OMIDRIA contract royalty asset.
The OMIDRIA contract royalty asset is subject to changes in net sales of OMIDRIA. All else being equal, a 10% decrease or increase in net sales results in a $12.2 million change in value of the OMIDRIA contract royalty asset, resulting in a potential OMIDRIA contract royalty asset valued within the range of $109.6 million to $134.0 million. Changes in net sales could occur due to various risks such as competitors entering the market, changes in the standard of care for cataract patients and loss of separate payment status for OMIDRIA. In determining the value of the OMIDRIA contract royalty asset, we have considered all of these factors. The OMIDRIA contract royalty asset is remeasured periodically using the expected value approach based on actual results and future expectations. The royalties earned and any remeasurement adjustments are recorded in discontinued operations.
OMIDRIA Royalty Obligations
The sale of any portion of our OMIDRIA royalty receipts is treated as a liability on our consolidated balance sheet, as this does not result in the transfer of a participating interest. We amortize royalty obligation liabilities over the term of the arrangement using the effective interest method and classify interest expense as a component of continuing operations.
To the extent our estimates of future royalties are less than previous estimates, we will adjust the carrying amount of the royalty obligation to the present value of the revised estimated cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate utilizing the cumulative catch-up method. Any remeasurement adjustment is recognized as a component of interest expense in net loss from continuing operations. Our estimate of cash flows from future royalties is derived from the contract royalty asset accounting described above.

Debt Issuances and Repayment
Transactions involving contemporaneous exchanges of cash between the same debtor and creditor in connection with the issuance of a new debt obligation and satisfaction of an existing debt obligation by the debtor are first evaluated as to whether they qualify as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) under ASC Topic 470-60, Debt - Troubled Debt Restructuring by Debtors (“ASC 470-60”). ASC 470-60 requires debt modifications to be evaluated if (1) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, and (2) the lender grants the borrower a concession. If both conditions are met under TDR accounting, we would record as the carrying value of the new debt any repurchased old debt less any cash paid. No gain on restructuring is recognized unless the carrying value of the new debt exceeds the undiscounted cash flows of the new debt. Any cancellation of debt income is amortized over the term of the new debt. We determined that the Term Loan qualified as a TDR. Therefore, we amortized as debt premium the cancellation of debt income from the partial repurchase of the 2026 Notes against the Term Loan.
If a TDR is determined to not have occurred, we evaluate the modification in accordance with ASC Topic 470-50-40, Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments, which requires modification of debt instruments to be evaluated to assess whether the modifications are considered “substantial”. In instances where our future cash flows change more than 10%, we record our debt at fair value based on factors available to us for similar borrowings and use the extinguishment accounting method.
We refer to debt as being “extinguished” if the debt is repaid due to mandatory repayment features in the contract or upon maturity of the debt.
In November 2023, we repaid our 2023 Notes at maturity. This did not result in any gain or loss on our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss as the related debt discount and issuance costs were already fully amortized.
The partial repurchase of the 2026 Notes in 2023 was deemed to be a modification whereby we were able to recognize a $4.1 million gain on debt extinguishment.
In May 2025, the Convertible Note Exchange and Equitization Transactions were treated as a partial extinguishment of the 2026 Notes under the debt accounting guidance. These transactions resulted in a net $3.0 million non-cash loss on extinguishment of our 2026 Notes due to (1) expensing of the unamortized debt issuance costs of the extinguished 2026 Notes, (2) recording the 2029 Notes to fair market value (i.e., at a discount) which we recorded both to our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss and as debt on our consolidated balance sheet and (3) recording the fair market value of the share-settled liability upon settlement.
In November 2025, the sale of zaltenibart to Novo Nordisk triggered the mandatory and full repayment of all outstanding principal under the Term Loan. As a result, we recognized a net non-cash gain on extinguishment in the amount of $17.0 million which represents the de-recognition of $17.9 million in unamortized premium and debt issuance costs, derecognition of $2.6 million of embedded derivatives, offset by $3.5 million of prepayment premium and related transaction expenses.
In February 2026, we repaid the remaining outstanding aggregate principal amount of our 2026 Notes in full upon maturity.

ITEM7A.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our exposure to market risk is primarily confined to our investment securities, debt instruments and embedded derivatives.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments
Our exposure to market risk is primarily confined to our investment securities. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve our capital to fund operations, and we do not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We also seek to maximize income from our investments without assuming significant risk. To achieve our objectives, we maintain a portfolio of investments in high-credit-quality securities. As of December 31, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $171.8 million. In accordance with our investment policy, we invest funds in highly liquid, investment-grade securities. The money market funds in our investment portfolio are not leveraged and are classified as available-for-sale. We currently do not hedge interest rate exposure. Because of the short-term maturities of our investments, we do not believe that an increase in market rates would have a material negative effect on the realized value of our investment portfolio. We actively monitor changes in interest rates and, with our current portfolio of short-term investments, we are not exposed to significant loss due to changes in interest rates.
Convertible Notes, Term Debtand Embedded Derivatives
As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had fixed-rate borrowings from our 2026 Notes and 2029 Notes. We record all of our fixed-rate borrowings at amortized cost and, therefore, do not experience any risk for changes in interest rates. However, we include embedded derivatives along with our debt in our reporting of our 2029 Notes and Term Loan in our consolidated balance sheets. The repayment of our Term Loan in November 2025 resulted in the de-recognition of the associated embedded derivative as of December 31, 2025. The derivatives on our 2029 Notes are marked to fair value every reporting period. The fair value inputs to the 2029 Notes’ derivative valuation include stock price, unsecuritized discount rate, risk-free rate, volatility, and term. Swings in our stock price could significantly affect the valuation of the 2029 Note conversion derivative. In addition, a decrease in interest rates could increase the valuation of the derivative. As of December 31, 2025, a 20% decrease or increase in our stock price results in an approximate $39.0 million change in the fair value of the 2029 Notes embedded derivative within the range of $119.0 million to $197.0 million.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Omeros Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Omeros Corporation (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss,shareholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial 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.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

OMEROS CORPORATION
NOTESTO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note1—Organization and Basis of Presentation
General
Omeros Corporation (“Omeros,” the “Company” or “we”) is an innovative, commercial-stage biotechnology company that discovers and develops first-in-class protein and small-molecule therapeutics for large-market and orphan indications, with particular emphasis on complement-mediated diseases, cancers, and addictive or compulsive disorders.
Our clinical-stage development programs include: narsoplimab, our antibody targeting mannan-binding lectin-associated serine protease 2 (“MASP-2”), the effector enzyme of the lectin pathway of complement; OMS1029, our long-acting antibody targeting MASP-2; and OMS527, our phosphodiesterase 7 (“PDE7”) inhibitor program. During 2025, we sold to Novo Nordisk Health Care AG the exclusive global rights in all indications to develop and commercialize zaltenibart, also known as OMS906, our antibody targeting mannan-binding lectin-associated serine protease-3 (“MASP-3”), the key activator of the alternative pathway of complement.
FDA Approval of YARTEMLEA®
On December 23, 2025, FDA approved YARTEMLEA® (narsoplimab-wuug) for the treatment of hematopoietic stem cell transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (“TA-TMA”). TA-TMA is a severe and often-fatal complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in adults and children, driven by systemic endothelial injury triggered by conditioning regimens, immunosuppressants, infection, graft-versus-host disease, and other transplant-related factors. Activation of the lectin pathway of complement plays a central role in disease pathogenesis. YARTEMLEA selectively inhibits MASP-2, blocking pathway activation while preserving classical and alternative complement functions important for host defense. In TA-TMA, MASP-2 inhibition prevents lectin pathway-mediated cellular injury, including endothelial damage in small blood vessels, and thrombus formation.
YARTEMLEA is the first and only approved inhibitor of the lectin pathway of complement. YARTEMLEA is approved for use in adults and in children ages two years and older.
Commercial distribution and sales of YARTEMLEA commenced in January 2026.
A marketing authorization application (“MAA”) for YARTEMLEA in TA-TMA has been submitted to the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) and is being reviewed under EMA’s centralized review procedure, which allows review of a single marketing authorization application. If the MAA is approved, it would authorize the product to be marketed in all EU member states and European Economic Area countries. The European Commission (the “EC”) has granted narsoplimab designation as an orphan medicinal product for treatment in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
Sale of Zaltenibart
On November 25, 2025, we completed a transaction (the “Transaction”) pursuant to an Asset Purchase and License Agreement (“APLA”) between Omeros and Novo Nordisk Healthcare AG (“Novo Nordisk”), dated October 10, 2025, in which Novo Nordisk received exclusive global rights in all indications to develop and commercialize our lead investigational MASP-3 inhibitor, zaltenibart (formerly OMS906), and certain related compounds and products. Zaltenibart is a first-in-class, late-stage clinical humanized monoclonal antibody targeting MASP-3, the most upstream and key activator of the alternative pathway of the complement system. Zaltenibart has shown multiple potential advantages over other alternative pathway inhibitors in development and on the market.
At the closing of the Transaction, we received an upfront cash payment of $240.0 million. In addition, we are eligible to receive (i) up to $510.0 million in one-time milestone payments upon the first achievement by Novo Nordisk or its affiliates or sublicensees of each of the development and approval milestone events as set forth in the APLA and (ii) up to $1.3 billion in one-time milestone payments upon the first achievement by Novo Nordisk or its affiliates or sublicensees of certain sales-based milestone events as set forth in the APLA. We are also eligible under the APLA to receive tiered royalties on annual net sales of products at percentage rates ranging from high single digit to high teens, subject to reduction in certain circumstances, as set forth in the APLA. In total, we are eligible to receive up to an additional $1.8 billion in potential development and commercial milestones, plus tiered royalties on net sales.
Pursuant to the APLA, we sold and transferred, and Novo Nordisk purchased zaltenibart and certain related assets, and the parties agreed to grant and receive certain intellectual property licenses to facilitate the continued development and commercialization activities of both companies. We retain rights to our MASP-3 small-molecule program unrelated to zaltenibart, including the ability to develop and commercialize small-molecule MASP-3 inhibitors, across a range of therapeutic areas, including, but not limited to, ophthalmology, neurology, gastrointestinal disorders, dermatology, musculoskeletal diseases, and oncology. We also retain rights to our “grandfathered” MASP-3 antibodies, with temporal and indication restrictions on commercialization and for use in advancing our small-molecule therapeutics.
In accordance with the APLA, at the closing of the Transaction, Omeros and Novo Nordisk entered into a transition services agreement (the “Transition Services Agreement”) pursuant to which we are providing certain transition services to Novo Nordisk to facilitate the transfer of the acquired assets and liabilities under the APLA and to provide for the continued operation of relevant studies and program activities during the applicable term. Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, Novo Nordisk reimburses us for costs and expenses we incur under the Transition Services Agreement, including third-party costs and expenses, costs associated with delivery of transition services by Omeros personnel on an hourly basis at rates specified in the Transition Services Agreement, and for our inventories of zaltenibart drug substance and product.
Other Development Programs
Our lectin pathway program also includes OMS1029, our long-acting antibody targeting MASP-2. We have completed Phase 1 clinical trials evaluating both single-ascending and multiple ascending doses of OMS1029. Results of these studies support once-quarterly dosing administered either intravenously or subcutaneously. OMS1029 has been well tolerated to date with no safety concerns identified. We are working to finalize selection of an indication and initiate Phase 2 clinical development of OMS1029.
Our phosphodiesterase 7 (“PDE7”) inhibitor program, which we refer to as OMS527, comprises multiple PDE7 inhibitor compounds and is based on our discoveries of previously unknown links between PDE7 and any addiction or compulsive disorder, and between PDE7 and any movement disorders. In April 2023, we were awarded a grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (“NIDA”), to develop an orally administered PDE7 inhibitor compound for the treatment of cocaine use disorder (“CUD”). NIDA awarded the grant to us for a total of $6.24 million over three years, of which we have claimed and received $2.2 million of funding to date and for the year ended December 31, 2025 recognized $0.9 million into Other Income in our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. FDA subsequently requested additional preclinical information prior to initiating the clinical in-patient study in cocaine users. Together with our collaborators at NIDA, we are scheduled to meet with FDA to discuss that request.
We also have various programs in preclinical research and development.
Basis of Presentation
Our consolidated financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of Omeros and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions have been eliminated. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and non-recurring adjustments, considered necessary for the fair presentation of such information. Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Transaction with Novo Nordisk, which closed on November 25, 2025, provided us with $240.0 million in upfront cash. Under that certain Credit and Guarantee Agreement, dated June 3, 2024 (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, the Lenders (as defined below) from time to time party thereto, and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as administrative agent and collateral agent, the Company used a portion of the proceeds from the sale of zaltenibart to repay the $67.1 million outstanding principal on the term debt (the “Term Loan”) under the Credit Agreement, along with $3.5 million in related prepayment premiums and transaction expenses. Repayment of our obligations under the Credit Agreement resulted in the release in full of all liens and covenants thereunder including the covenant requiring us to maintain a minimum of $25.0 million in unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at all times.
As of December 31, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $171.8 million. We had $87.9 million in aggregate principal amount of debt at December 31, 2025, reflecting a decrease of $77.1 million, or 46.7%, compared to $164.9 million in aggregate principal amount of debt at December 31, 2024.

Table of Contents
On February 17, 2026, using funds received upon the closing of the Transaction, we repaid at maturity the remaining $17.1 million principal balance on our 5.25% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”). Omeros expects that it will be able to fund more than 12 months of operations from the date the financial statements are issued, utilizing our current cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, along with funds we expect to receive from commercial sales of YARTEMLEA.
Should it be necessary or determined to be strategically advantageous, we also could pursue public and private offerings of our equity securities, debt transactions or restructurings, future royalty sales, or other strategic transactions, which may include licensing or selling a portion or all of one or more of our existing technologies. In addition, we have a sales agreement to sell shares of our common stock, from time to time, in an “at the market” equity offering facility through which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock in an aggregate amount of up to $150.0 million.
For purposes of determining available capital resources, future royalty and/or milestone receipts are excluded.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant items subject to such estimates include the OMIDRIA contract royalty asset, OMIDRIA royalty obligation valuations and the embedded derivatives associated with our debt. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances; however, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Note2—Significant Accounting Policies
Segment Reporting
We operate in one business segment focusing on the research, discovery, development and commercialization of small-molecule and protein therapeutics targeting immunologic diseases, including complement-mediated diseases and cancers related to dysfunction of the immune system, as well as addictive and compulsive disorders. The Company defines its operating segment based on internally reported financial information that is regularly used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to analyze performance, make decisions and allocate resources. The Company's CODM is our Chief Executive Officer. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company has identified one operating and reporting segment. The CODM reviews net income (loss) and expenses reported on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The measurement of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheet as total consolidated assets. All long-lived assets are held in the U.S. Our segment net loss aligns with our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses are comprised primarily of contracted research, clinical trial study and manufacturing costs prior to approval; consulting services; contract milestones; materials and supplies; costs for personnel, including salaries, benefits and stock compensation; depreciation; an allocation of our occupancy costs; and other expenses incurred to sustain our overall research and development programs. Advance payments for goods or services that will be used for future research and development activities are deferred and then recognized as an expense as the related goods are delivered or the services are performed. All other research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses are comprised primarily of marketing expenses; professional and legal services; patent costs; and salaries, benefits, and stock-compensation costs for marketing and other personnel not directly engaged in research and development. Additionally, selling, general and administrative expenses include depreciation; an allocation of our occupancy costs; and other general corporate expenses. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. We had no advertising costs during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense is recognized for all share-based payments, including grants of stock option awards and restricted stock units based on estimated fair values. The fair value of our stock is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires assumptions around volatility, forfeiture rates, risk-free interest rate and expected term. Compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period, using the straight-line method. Forfeiture expense is estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
Income Taxes
The Company included the impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) in its income tax provision for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025. The enactment of the OBBBA reduced the Company’s taxable income for federal income tax purposes, resulting in no federal taxable income for the year. The impact of the OBBBA on state income taxes varies by jurisdiction due to differences in state conformity with federal tax law, and the Company incurred state income tax expense in certain jurisdictions.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We recognize the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained upon an examination by the relevant taxing authority. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. (For further details, see “Note 14 — Income Taxes”).
Asset Sale Transactions
The Company evaluates transactions involving the sale of our compounds, products or drug programs to determine whether such arrangements represent a sale of a business or a sale of a nonfinancial asset. Transactions that do not meet the definition of a business are accounted for as the sale of a nonfinancial asset under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 610‐20, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets.
Upon transfer of control of the compound, product or drug program asset to a counterparty, the Company recognizes consideration received. Any excess of consideration over the carrying value of the asset sold is recognized as a gain in the consolidated statements of operations.
Potential Milestone Income
The APLA with Novo Nordisk includes variable consideration in the form of milestone payments that are contingent upon the achievement of specified development, regulatory, or commercialization events. The Company applies the variable consideration and constraint guidance in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, by analogy. At contract inception and throughout the term of the arrangement, the Company assesses whether the achievement of each milestone is probable and estimates variable consideration using the most likely amount method. Contingent milestone payments are excluded from the transaction price until the related milestone is achieved and it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur.
Amounts are included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company re-evaluates the transaction price at each reporting period, including the estimated variable consideration and the application of the constraint, to reflect changes in circumstances. Factors considered in these evaluations include the clinical or technical complexity of the milestone, the stage of development, and the risk of regulatory approval. Because of the risk that products in development will not receive regulatory approval, we generally do not recognize any contingent payments that would be due to us until regulatory approval.
Discontinued Operations
We review the presentation of planned or completed business dispositions in the consolidated financial statements based on the available information and events that have occurred. The review consists of evaluating whether the business meets the definition of a component for which the operations and cash flows are clearly distinguishable from the other components of the business and, if so, whether it is anticipated that after the disposal the cash flows of the component would be eliminated from continuing operations and whether the disposition represents a strategic shift that has a major effect on operations and financial results. Planned or completed business dispositions are presented as discontinued operations when all the criteria described above are met.
We determined that the sale of OMS906 to Novo Nordisk did not meet the above criteria. As such, we have recorded the gain on sale of zaltenibart in Other Income in our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
On December 23, 2021, we closed on an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Rayner Surgical Inc. (“Rayner”) for the sale of our commercial product OMIDRIA which we record as an OMIDRIA contract asset on our consolidated balance sheet. As a result of the divestiture, the results of OMIDRIA activities are classified as discontinued operations in our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss and excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented. We have rights to receive future royalties from Rayner on OMIDRIA net sales at royalty rates that vary based on geography and certain regulatory contingencies. Therefore, future OMIDRIA royalties are treated as variable consideration. The sale of OMIDRIA qualified as an asset sale under GAAP. To measure the OMIDRIA contract royalty asset, we use the expected value approach which is the sum of the discounted probability-weighted royalty payments we would receive using a range of potential outcomes, to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative income recognized will not occur.
All U.S. royalties received from Rayner through December 31, 2031 are remitted by Rayner to an escrow account established by Omeros, from which payments are made to DRI Healthcare Acquisition LP (“DRI”) and are entirely pass-through in nature to the Company. These payments comprise interest expense, with the remainder treated as a reduction of the OMIDRIA royalty obligation. The amount recorded in discontinued operations in future periods will reflect interest earned on the outstanding OMIDRIA contract royalty asset at 11.0% and any amounts we receive that are different from the expected royalties. The OMIDRIA contract royalty asset is re-measured quarterly using the expected value approach, which incorporates actual results and future expectations. (For further details see “Note 8 — Discontinued Operations —Sale of OMIDRIA”).
OMIDRIA Royalty Obligation
On September 30, 2022, we sold to DRI a portion of our future OMIDRIA royalty receipts for a purchase price of $125.0 million and recorded an OMIDRIA Royalty Obligation for the same amount. On February 1, 2024, DRI purchased our remaining U.S. OMIDRIA royalty receipts through December 31, 2031 for $115.5 million in cash under an Amended and Restated Royalty Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Amendment with DRI eliminated the previously existing annual caps on royalty payments after January 1, 2024, and provides that DRI receives all royalties on U.S. net sales of OMIDRIA payable between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2031. We accounted for the Amendment as a modification of our existing debt from DRI. The OMIDRIA royalty obligation is valued based on our estimates of future OMIDRIA royalties and is amortized through December 31, 2031.
To the extent our estimates of future royalties differ materially from the previous estimates, we will adjust for future OMIDRIA royalties to the present value of the revised estimated cash flows, discounted at the implied effective interest rate of 10.27% utilizing the cumulative catch-up method. We record interest expense as a component within continuing operations. Any such remeasurement adjustment is recognized as non-cash interest expense within continuing operations (see “Note 9 - OMIDRIA Royalty Obligation”).
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Short-Term Investments and Restricted Investments
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less on the date of purchase, which can be easily converted into cash without a significant impact on their value. Short-term investment securities are classified as held-to-maturity, except for money market funds which are classified as available-for-sale. Investments classified as available-for-sale are measured at fair value. Investments classified as held-to-maturity are carried at cost. Amortization, accretion, interest, and dividends, realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary are included within other income.
The cost of securities sold is based on the specific-identification method. Investments with maturities of less than one year, or those for which management intends to use the investments to fund current operations, are included in current assets. We evaluate whether an investment is other-than-temporarily impaired based on the specific facts and circumstances. Factors that are considered in determining whether an other-than-temporary decline in value has occurred include: the market value of the security in relation to its cost basis; the financial condition of the investee; and the intent and ability to retain the investment for a sufficient period of time to allow for recovery in the market value of the investment. Restricted investments held in money-market funds include security deposits on our office lease.
Investment income, which is included as a component of other income, consists primarily of interest earned.

Table of Contents
Receivables
Receivables primarily consist of royalties receivable from Rayner and receivables from Novo Nordisk for work performed under the Transition Services Agreement. Considering the nature of our receivables, we concluded an allowance for doubtful accounts was not necessary as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Property and Equipment, Net
Property and equipment are stated at cost, and depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets, which is generally between three and ten years. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Inventory
We expense inventory costs related to product candidates as research and development expenses until regulatory approval is reasonably assured in the U.S. or the European Union (“EU”). Once approval is reasonably assured, costs, including amounts related to third-party manufacturing, labelling, transportation and internal labor and overhead, are capitalized.
Debt
Transactions involving contemporaneous exchanges of cash between the same debtor and creditor in connection with the issuance of a new debt obligation and satisfaction of an existing debt obligation are evaluated as a modification or an extinguishment depending on whether the exchange is determined to have substantially different terms.
Repayment at Maturity of 2023 Notes
On November 15, 2023, we repaid $95.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.25% convertible senior notes (the “2023 Notes”) at maturity.
Repurchase of 2026 Notes for Cash
In December 2023, we repurchased $9.1 million aggregate principal amount of our 2026 Notes at a discount, realizing a $4.1 million non-cash gain on extinguishment.
Repurchase of 2026 Notes under the Credit Agreement
On June 3, 2024, we entered into a Credit Agreement with certain funds managed by Athyrium Capital Management, LP and certain funds managed by Highbridge Capital Management, LLC, as lenders (together with additional lenders from time to time, the “Lenders”) and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as administrative agent and collateral agent. The Credit Agreement provided for the Term Loan. We used the Term Loan along with $21.7 million in cash on hand, to repurchase from the Lenders $118.1 million aggregate principal amount of our 2026 Notes.
In June 2024, we performed an assessment of the Credit Agreement and determined that it met the criteria to be accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring. As a result, the $29.3 million difference between the $118.1 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes (as defined above) repurchased by the Company and the $88.8 million aggregate repurchase price (consisting of the $67.1 million Term Loan and $21.7 million cash on hand) was recorded as a premium (i.e. an increase) to the term debt recorded on our consolidated balance sheet instead of being recognized as a gain on early extinguishment of debt. We amortize the premium as both a reduction of term debt in the consolidated balance sheet and as interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss over the duration of the Term Loan.
Exchange of 2026 Notes for 2029 Notes and Equitization Transaction
On May 14, 2025, we completed the exchange (the “Convertible Note Exchange”) of $70.8 million of our existing 2026 Notes on a one-for-one basis for newly-issued convertible senior notes maturing on June 15, 2029 (the “2029 Notes”).
On May 12, 2025, we entered into note conversion agreements (each, a “Note Conversion Agreement”) with two holders of the 2026 Notes to convert $10.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes into shares of our common stock (the “Equitization Transaction”) in three tranches. Our obligation to deliver shares in three tranches was initially accounted for as a share-settled liability measured at fair value. We completed the conversion of the final tranche in September 2025, resulting in the issuance of an aggregate of 2,819,866 shares of our common stock to the two holders in exchange for $10.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes. We did not receive new cash proceeds in these transactions. We performed an assessment of the Convertible Note Exchange and Equitization Transaction and determined that these transactions were not a troubled debt restructuring and were a partial extinguishment of our 2026 Notes.
Together with the Equitization Transaction, these transactions resulted in a net $3.0 million non-cash loss on extinguishment due to (i) expensing of the unamortized debt issuance costs of the extinguished 2026 Notes, (ii) recording the 2029 Notes to fair market value (i.e., at a discount) which we recorded both in our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss and as debt on our consolidated balance sheet and (iii) recording the fair market value of the share-settled liability upon settlement.
The Convertible Note Exchange and the Equitization Transaction reduced the aggregate principal balance of our 2026 Notes from $97.9 million to $17.1 million.
Repayment of 2026 Notes
In February 2026, we repaid in full the remaining $17.1 million principal balance on our 2026 Notes upon maturity.
Repayment of Term Loan under the Credit Agreement
On November 25, 2025, concurrent with the closing of the sale of zaltenibart (OMS906) to Novo Nordisk under the APLA, the Company repaid in full the $67.1 million principal outstanding under the Term Loan. As a result, we recognized a net non-cash gain on extinguishment in the amount of $17.0 million which represents the de-recognition of $17.9 million in unamortized premium and debt issuance costs, derecognition of $2.6 million of embedded derivatives, offset by $3.5 million of prepayment premium and related transaction expenses. (For further details, see “Note 7 – Debt”).
Embedded Derivatives
We account for convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, when we determine that embedded conversion features do not require bifurcation from the host instrument. We account for convertible instruments (when we have determined that the embedded conversion options should be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with ASC 815 – Derivative and Hedge Accounting (“ASC 815”). Under ASC 815, proceeds received upon the issuance of the hybrid contract are allocated between the fair value of the notes and the fair value of the derivative. The derivative is subsequently marked-to-market at each reporting date based on current fair value, with the changes in fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
The embedded derivative on our 2029 Notes represents the conversion feature and interest make-whole feature available to holders of the 2029 Notes allowing them to convert the notes into cash, common stock and/or a combination thereof. The embedded derivative on our Term Loan was eliminated upon repayment on November 25, 2025. (For further details, see “Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements” and “Note 7 – Debt”).
Right-of-Use Assets and Related Lease Liabilities
We record operating leases as right-of-use assets and recognize the related lease liabilities equal to the fair value of the lease payments using our incremental borrowing rate when the implicit rate in the lease agreement is not readily available. We recognize variable lease payments when incurred. Costs associated with operating lease assets are recognized on a straight-line basis within operating expenses over the term of the lease.
We record finance lease obligations as a component of property and equipment and amortize these assets within operating expenses on a straight-line basis to their residual values over the shorter of the term of the underlying lease or the estimated useful life of the equipment. The interest component of finance lease obligations is included in interest expense and recognized using the effective interest method over the lease term.
We account for leases with initial terms of 12 months or less as an operating expense.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We assess the impairment of long-lived assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparing the carrying value to future undiscounted cash flows that the asset is expected to generate. If the asset is impaired, the amount of any impairment will be reflected in the results of operations in the period of impairment. We have not recognized any impairment losses for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

Table of Contents
Common Stock Repurchases
We have repurchased shares of our common stock from time to time under authorization made by our Board of Directors. Under applicable Washington State law, repurchased shares are retired and not presented separately as treasury stock in the consolidated financial statements.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income (loss) and certain changes in equity that are excluded from net income (loss). There were no differences between comprehensive loss and net loss for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
Financial Instruments and Concentrations of Credit Risk
Cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which are recorded at invoiced amount or cost, approximate fair value based on the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The fair value of short-term investments is based on quoted market prices. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and receivables. Cash and cash equivalents are held by financial institutions and are federally insured up to certain limits. At times, our cash and cash equivalents balance held at a financial institution may exceeds the federally insured limits. To limit the credit risk, we invest our excess cash in high-quality securities such as money market mutual funds, certificates of deposit and U.S. treasury bills.

ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company prospectively adopted ASU 2023-09 for the year ended December 31, 2025, and applied the new disclosure requirements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20), Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments, which clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion or extinguishment of convertible debt. The Company early adopted ASU 2024-04 during the year ended December 31, 2025, applying the guidance prospectively as of January 1, 2025. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Scope Clarification and Share-Based Consideration. The update refines the scope of derivative accounting by expanding the scope exception for certain non-exchange-traded contracts with underlyings based on the operations or activities of one of the parties to the contract, such as regulatory approvals or development milestones, and clarifies the accounting for share-based noncash consideration received from a customer under Topic 606. The Company early adopted ASU 2025-07 during the year ended December 31, 2025. The adoption did not result in any reclassification within the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note3—Gain on Sale of Zaltenibart
On November 25, 2025, we closed a previously announced transaction under an APLA with Novo Nordisk, pursuant to which Novo Nordisk received exclusive global rights in all indications to develop and commercialize zaltenibart, the Compounds, and the Products. At the closing, we received net proceeds of $237.6 million comprising $240.0 million in upfront cash less $2.4 million in transaction fees.
As set forth in the APLA, beyond the $240.0 million, we are eligible to receive (i) up to an additional $510.0 million in one-time milestone payments upon the first achievement by Novo Nordisk or its affiliates or sublicensees of each of the development and approval milestone events and (ii) up to $1.3 billion in one-time milestone payments upon the first achievement by Novo Nordisk or its affiliates or sublicensees of certain sales-based milestone events. We are also eligible under the APLA to receive tiered royalties on annual net sales of Products at percentage rates ranging from high single digit to high teens, subject to reduction in certain circumstances.
In accordance with the APLA, at the closing of the Transaction, Omeros and Novo Nordisk entered into the Transition Services Agreement pursuant to which we are providing certain transition services to Novo Nordisk to facilitate the transfer of the acquired assets and liabilities under the APLA and to provide for the continued operation of relevant studies and program activities during the applicable term. Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, Novo Nordisk reimburses us for costs and expenses we incur under the Transition Services Agreement, including third-party costs and expenses, costs associated with delivery of transition services by Omeros personnel on an hourly basis at rates specified in the Transition Services Agreement, and for our inventories of zaltenibart drug substance and product. We report such expenses net of reimbursement within Other Income in our statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
Note 4—Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share (“Basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share (“Diluted EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Our potentially dilutive securities include common shares related to our stock options using the treasury stock method and convertible senior notes calculated using the if-converted method. In periods where we have a net loss from continuing operations but overall net income, we do not compute Diluted EPS because the effect would be antidilutive. When there is a net loss, potentially dilutive securities, like stock options or convertible debt, are typically excluded from the diluted net loss per share calculation. Potentially dilutive securities excluded from Diluted EPS are calculated based on a weighted average of days in the quarter from when the respective transactions occurred and are shown as follows:

Note5—Investments and Fair-Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability, an exit price, in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The accounting standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required:
Level 1—Observable inputs for identical assets or liabilities, such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
Level 3—Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore they are developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.
We review the fair value hierarchy classification on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value hierarchy. There have been no transfers of assets or liabilities between fair value measurement classifications during the year ended December 31, 2025.
Our fair value hierarchy for our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Cash held in demand deposit accounts of $9.7 million and $3.4 million is excluded from our fair-value hierarchy disclosure as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The carrying amounts for receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and other current monetary assets and liabilities, including lease financing obligations, approximate fair value.
All of our investments, which are classified as Level 1 assets, are short-term and held in our name. Money market funds are classified as available-for-sale on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Interest income is included as a component of interest and other income on our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Interest and other income for the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 consists primarily of interest earned from investments of $2.3 million, $8.4 million and $14.7 million, respectively.
The fair value of both of our embedded derivatives were determined using the Lattice and Discounted Cash Flow models with the following key assumptions:
2029 Note conversion option derivative
December 31,
Stock price (per share) $ 17.18
Unsecuritized discount rate 18.03 %
Risk-free rate 3.53 %
Stock price volatility 75 %
Dividend yield — %
Term (in years) 3.5
Changes in valuation assumptions could have a significant impact on the 2029 Note conversion option derivative. The Company can provide no assurance that changes in yield or in our price would not have a significant impact on the derivative in the future. An increase in our stock price volatility could increase the valuation of the 2029 Note conversion option derivative, whereas an increase in interest rates could decrease the valuation of the 2029 Note conversion option derivative. (For further details see “Note 7 — Debt”).
Term Loan derivative

Interest is comprised of:

2029 Notes
Exchange of 2026 Notes for 2029 Notes and Equitization Transaction
On May 14, 2025, we completed the Convertible Note Exchange of $70.8 million in aggregate principal amount of our existing 2026 Notes on a one-for-one basis for newly-issued 2029 Notes. The Convertible Note Exchange was conducted with a limited number of holders of the 2026 Notes pursuant to exchange agreements dated as of May 12, 2025. The 2029 Notes are convertible at the option of the holders into shares of common stock, cash or a combination thereof, as elected by the Company, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date.
The 2029 Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of August 14, 2020 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as successor to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 14, 2025 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee (the Base Indenture, as amended and supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”). The 2029 Notes will mature on June 15, 2029 unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their terms prior to such date.
Embedded Derivative
The embedded derivative on the 2029 Notes includes both a derivative for the interest make-whole feature and a derivative for the conversion feature available to holders allowing them to convert their notes to common stock, cash or a combination thereof. At each reporting date, we remeasure the embedded derivative instruments to fair market value. At contract inception, we recorded a net $23.0 million embedded derivative as a component of our 2029 Notes. However, with the sale of OMS906 to Novo Nordisk and the announcement of FDA approval of TA-TMA, our stock price significantly increased. At December 31, 2025, the fair market value of our embedded derivative was $157.2 million. We marked-to-market the initial $23.0 million embedded derivative on the 2029 Notes and recorded a $134.2 million non-cash loss on remeasurement in our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Increases or decreases in our stock price may materially affect the value of the derivative.
Interest Make Whole Feature
Holders who convert their 2029 Notes after November 13, 2025 and prior to June 1, 2029 (except for any conversion in connection with a make-whole fundamental change) are entitled to an interest make-whole payment equal to the sum of the remaining scheduled payments of interest that would have been made had the 2029 Notes remained outstanding from their conversion date through the earlier of (i) the date that is 18 months following their conversion date, and (ii) June 15, 2029, the maturity date.
Conversion Feature
The 2029 Notes are convertible at the option of the holder into shares of common stock, cash or a combination thereof at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. The Company elects whether the conversion occurs in common stock, cash or a combination thereof. The conversion rate is 161.81 shares of our common stock per $1,000 of note principal (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $6.18 per share of common stock), which equals approximately 11.5 million shares issuable upon conversion. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances as described in the Indenture.
The 2029 Notes are comprised of the following:

Interest on the 2029 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears at a rate of 9.50% per annum on each June 15 and December 15, beginning on December 15, 2025. The carrying value of the 2029 Notes includes a discount which we amortize over the duration of the term as non-cash interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Due to the discount amortization on the 2029 Notes, interest expense is currently being recognized at an implied effective interest rate of 1.82%.
