"Rigel delivered a strong second quarter, highlighted by record net product sales, continued profitability and the in-license of VEPPANU, the first and only FDA-approved PROTAC for patients with ER+/HER2-, ESR1-mutated advanced or metastatic breast cancer. We expect VEPPANU to be commercially available later this month, further expanding our commercial business in hematology and oncology," said Raul Rodriguez, Rigel’s president and CEO. "We are also advancing the development of R289 in our ongoing Phase 1b study in patients with R/R lower-risk MDS, and remain on track to complete enrollment in the dose expansion phase of the study, select a recommended Phase 2 dose in the second half of 2026 and share preliminary data by year end."

Second Quarter 2026 Business Update

Corporate

Rigel entered into an exclusive, global licensing agreement with Arvinas, Inc. (Arvinas) and Pfizer Inc. (Pfizer) to develop, manufacture and commercialize VEPPANU (vepdegestrant). VEPPANU is the first and only PROTAC approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of adults with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-), estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1)-mutated advanced or metastatic breast cancer (mBC), as detected by an FDA-authorized test, with disease progression following at least one line of endocrine therapy. The agreement became effective on June 11, 2026, and Rigel paid the upfront payment of $70.0 million to Arvinas and Pfizer in the second quarter. Upon close of the transaction, Rigel immediately initiated launch activities and expects VEPPANU to be commercially available in the United States for the treatment of second line-plus (2L+) ER+/HER2-, ESR1-mutated mBC in mid-August 2026.
In July, Rigel announced the appointment of Alison L. Hannah, M.D. to the role of Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer. Dr. Hannah has decades of oncology drug development experience and served on Rigel’s Board of Directors since 2021. She resigned from Rigel’s Board of Directors in connection with her appointment.
Commercial

Second quarter net product sales were $67.0 million, an increase of 14% from the same period of 2025.
Rigel’s partner Knight Therapeutics Inc. (Knight) received regulatory approval from Brazil’s Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (ANVISA) in May for TAVALISSE for the treatment of adult patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) who have had an insufficient response to a previous treatment. Also in May, Knight commercially launched TAVALISSE in Mexico.
Rigel’s partner Kissei Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Kissei) submitted a new drug application for manufacturing and marketing approval in Japan for olutasidenib in May. In connection with the submission, Rigel received a $4.0 million regulatory milestone payment from Kissei during the second quarter.
Clinical Development

Rigel continues to advance its Phase 1b clinical study of R2891, a potent and selective dual inhibitor of interleukin receptor-associated kinases 1 and 4 (IRAK1/4), in patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) lower-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), with enrollment in the dose expansion phase ongoing and on track to be completed in the second half of 2026. The company expects to select the recommended Phase 2 dose in the second half of 2026 and share preliminary dose expansion data by year end.
The 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) (Free ASCO Whitepaper) Annual Meeting and European Hematology Association (EHA) (Free EHA Whitepaper) 2026 Congress featured an oral presentation and several poster presentations for pralsetinib and olutasidenib. The final data from the Phase 3 AcceleRET-Lung clinical trial of pralsetinib as first-line treatment of rearranged during transfection (RET) fusion-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were presented in an oral session at ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper). In addition, ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) and EHA (Free EHA Whitepaper) featured poster presentations that included additional data for pralsetinib and data for olutasidenib for the treatment of R/R isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1)-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
Key Publication

A paper titled "Preclinical Characterization and Early Development of R835, a Novel, Selective Dual IRAK1 and IRAK4 Inhibitor," was published in Scientific Reports in July. R835, the active metabolite of the prodrug R289, potently and selectively inhibited toll-like receptor (TLR) and interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R)-dependent proinflammatory cytokine production in multiple preclinical models, demonstrating efficacy in both prophylactic and treatment preclinical settings. Additionally, in a placebo-controlled, double-blind, Phase 1, first-in-human study in 82 healthy participants, R835 was well tolerated with a favorable pharmacokinetic profile across all dose levels evaluated, and markedly inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced peak cytokine concentrations by approximately 40-80% compared to placebo. These data provided clinical proof of mechanism of a dual IRAK1/4 inhibitor suppressing proinflammatory cytokine release in humans.
Second Quarter and Year-to-Date 2026 Financial Update
For the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, total revenues were $78.7 million, consisting of $67.0 million in net product sales and $11.7 million in contract revenues from collaborations.

About ITP
In patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), the immune system attacks and destroys the body’s own blood platelets, which play an active role in blood clotting and healing. Common symptoms of ITP are excessive bruising and bleeding. Patients suffering with chronic ITP may live with an increased risk of severe bleeding events that can result in serious medical complications or even death. Current therapies for ITP include steroids, blood platelet production boosters (TPO-RAs), and splenectomy. However, not all patients respond to existing therapies. As a result, there remains a significant medical need for additional treatment options for patients with ITP.

About NSCLC
It is estimated that over 229,000 adults in the U.S. will be diagnosed with lung cancer in 2026. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S., with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) being the most common type accounting for 77% of all lung cancer diagnoses.2 RET fusions are implicated in approximately 1-2% of patients with NSCLC.3

About AML
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a rapidly progressing cancer of the blood and bone marrow that affects myeloid cells, which normally develop into various types of mature blood cells. AML occurs primarily in adults and accounts for about 1 percent of all adult cancers. The American Cancer Society estimates that there will be about 22,720 new cases in the United States, most in adults, in 2026.4

Relapsed AML affects about half of all patients who, following treatment and remission, experience a return of leukemia cells in the bone marrow. 5,6 Refractory AML, which affects between 10 and 40 percent of newly diagnosed patients, occurs when a patient fails to achieve remission even after intensive treatment.7 Quality of life declines for patients with each successive line of treatment for AML, and well-tolerated treatments in relapsed or refractory disease remain an unmet need.

About ER+/HER2-, ESR1-mutated Metastatic Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the United States, except for skin cancers.8 The estrogen receptor-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (ER+/HER2-) patient population represents the majority (70%) of breast cancer, where treatment with endocrine therapies (aromatase inhibitors) is the standard of care. While endocrine therapy remains a cornerstone of metastatic ER+/HER2- breast cancer treatment, up to 50% of patients treated with endocrine therapy and a CDK4/6 inhibitor acquire estrogen receptor 1 gene (ESR1) mutations, resulting in endocrine resistance and poor prognosis. Treatment options in second-line and later ER+/HER2-, ESR1-mutated advanced or metastatic breast cancer setting include chemotherapy, selective estrogen receptor degraders (SERDs), and as of May 2026, vepdegestrant, the first and only FDA-approved oral PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera (PROTAC).

"We delivered a historic second quarter, with the rapid adoption of PAPZIMEOS demonstrating the strength of our groundbreaking science and innovative commercial strategy," said Helen Sabzevari, PhD, President and CEO of Precigen. "This momentum provides a strong foundation for our next phase of growth as we work to expand PAPZIMEOS globally and into the pediatric population. PAPZIMEOS demonstrates the AdenoVerse platform’s ability to target HPV-associated diseases. We are building on that validated capability by advancing PRGN-2009 in HPV-driven cancers, with a pipeline update expected by year-end. With growing commercial momentum, a validated platform, and multiple opportunities ahead, we believe Precigen is well positioned to deliver sustained value for patients across various indications, the broader healthcare community, and our shareholders."

"We continue to see the key elements of the PAPZIMEOS commercial launch drive revenue growth: 100% field engagement with our initial target accounts, active patient and HCP campaigns, a permanent J-code supporting access and site activations, payer coverage across nearly all insured US lives, growing physician consensus reflected in a RRP position paper, and continued patient hub enrollments," said Phil Tennant, Chief Commercial Officer of Precigen. "This progress translated into strong quarterly revenue growth and increasing adoption across major medical centers and community practices as PAPZIMEOS becomes established as a new standard of care for adults with RRP. We remain focused on converting demand into treated patients and further expanding access to PAPZIMEOS across the RRP community."

KEY PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

PAPZIMEOS: First-line Standard of Care for the Treatment of Adults with RRP

PAPZIMEOS (zopapogene imadenovec-drba) is a non-replicating adenoviral vector-based immunotherapy designed to generate an immune response directed against HPV 6 and HPV 11 proteins in patients with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP). PAPZIMEOS has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of adults with RRP.

· Broad US adoption: Well over 500 patients have registered through Precigen’s patient hub, with additional patients outside of the hub being identified and receiving treatment as institutions support patient access directly and independently.
· Market exclusivity: PAPZIMEOS was granted seven years of market exclusivity by the FDA, providing long-term protection against prospective competition. PAPZIMEOS remains the first and only approved therapy for adults with RRP and the only treatment designed to target the underlying cause of the disease.
· Broad payer coverage: PAPZIMEOS has payer coverage across approximately 315 million US lives through private health plans, Medicare, and Medicaid, representing nearly 100% of insured lives nationwide.
· Permanent J-code: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services assigned permanent J-code, J3404, to PAPZIMEOS, effective April 1, 2026. The J-code provides a standard pathway for reimbursement, helps institutions process claims more efficiently, and reduces uncertainty for sites that are still building PAPZIMEOS into their workflows.
· First-line standard of care: An expert position paper sponsored and published by the Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis Foundation and authored by 16 leading RRP physicians recommended PAPZIMEOS as the first-line standard of care for adults with RRP in the United States.
· Redosing study enrolling patients: The Company’s open-label study to evaluate redosing efficacy of zopapogene imadenovec in adults with RRP is currently enrolling (clinical trial identifier: NCT06538480).
· MAA under review by the EMA: The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has validated and is reviewing the Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) submitted in November 2025 for zopapogene imadenovec for the treatment of adults with RRP. PAPZIMEOS has been granted orphan drug designation from the European Commission.

PRGN-2009 AdenoVerse Immunotherapy in HPV-associated Cancers

PRGN-2009 is an investigational AdenoVerse immunotherapy designed to activate the immune system to recognize and target HPV-associated cancers.

· PRGN-2009 Phase 2 clinical trials under a cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA) with the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in newly diagnosed HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer are ongoing.
· A multicenter Phase 2 clinical trial of PRGN-2009 in combination with pembrolizumab in recurrent/metastatic cervical cancer is ongoing.
· The Company plans to provide an update on progress across the AdenoVerse portfolio, including PRGN-2009, by the end of the year.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

"We are thrilled to report that Precigen achieved profitability in the second quarter, marking a significant milestone for the company. Net income was driven by strong PAPZIMEOS revenue of $53.1 million. As we progress through the third quarter of 2026, we are seeing continued growth in PAPZIMEOS demand," said Harry Thomasian Jr., Chief Financial Officer of Precigen. "Based upon our current revenue trajectory and present financial forecast, we continue to believe that our current cash position and anticipated cash to be received from PAPZIMEOS sales will fund operations through cash flow break-even by the end of 2026."

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results Compared to Prior Year Period

Total revenues were $55.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, an increase of $54.1 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The significant increase in total revenues was primarily due to the recording of commercial sales of PAPZIMEOS. Revenues related to the sale of PAPZIMEOS for the three months ended June 30, 2026 were $53.1 million.

Cost of products and services increased by $1.7 million, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, almost entirely due to costs related to the recording of commercial sales of PAPZIMEOS following its FDA approval in August 2025. Prior to regulatory approval, costs associated with the production of PAPZIMEOS were expensed as research and development in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy. Upon FDA approval and the commencement of commercial sales, these costs are now capitalized as inventory and recognized in cost of product and services as product is sold.

R&D expenses decreased by $4.2 million, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to the change in the accounting treatment of PAPZIMEOS manufacturing costs. The Company expects that R&D expenses will increase as the year progresses.

SG&A expenses increased by $6.1 million, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was primarily driven by commercial activities related to PAPZIMEOS following its FDA approval in August 2025. The higher expenses reflect increased costs to support commercialization, expanded marketing and promotional activities to drive product awareness and adoption, and increased personnel costs, including stock compensation expense.

In the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded $3.9 million in impairment related to its Exemplar reporting unit with no comparable charge in the second quarter of 2026.

Total other expense, net was $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to other income, net of $5.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a change of $7.7 million. This change was primarily attributable to the absence of a $4.5 million gain related to the decrease in the fair value of warrant liabilities that was recorded in the prior-year period. The remaining change primarily relates to an increase of $3.0 million in interest expense related to long term debt that originated in the third quarter of 2025.

Net income was $20.1 million, or $0.06 per basic and $0.05 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a net loss of $26.6 million, or $(0.09) per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

First Six Months 2026 Financial Results Compared to Prior Year Period

Total revenues were $78.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, an increase of $76.0 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The significant increase in total revenues was primarily due to the recording of commercial sales of PAPZIMEOS. Revenues related to the sale of PAPZIMEOS for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were $74.7 million.

Cost of products and services increased by $3.2 million, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, almost entirely due to costs related to the recording of commercial sales of PAPZIMEOS following its FDA approval in August 2025. Prior to regulatory approval, costs associated with the production of PAPZIMEOS were expensed as research and development in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy. Upon FDA approval and the commencement of commercial sales, these costs are now capitalized as inventory and recognized in cost of product and services as product is sold.

R&D expenses decreased by $9.0 million, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to the change in the accounting treatment of PAPZIMEOS manufacturing costs. The Company expects that R&D expenses will increase as the year progresses.

SG&A expenses increased by $14.8 million, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was primarily driven by commercial activities related to PAPZIMEOS following its FDA approval in August 2025. The higher expenses reflect increased costs to support commercialization, expanded marketing and promotional activities to drive product awareness and adoption, and increased personnel costs, including stock compensation expense.

In the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded $3.9 million in impairment related to its Exemplar reporting unit with no comparable charge in the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Total other expense, net decreased by $21.9 million, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. This decrease was primarily attributable to the absence of a $28.0 million charge related to the increase in the fair value of warrant liabilities that was recorded in the prior-year period. The remaining change (an increase in other expense) primarily relates to an increase of $5.9 million in interest expense related to long-term debt that was entered into in the third quarter of 2025.

Net income was $12.1 million, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a net loss of $80.8 million, or $(0.27) per basic and diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

CAPITAL ALLOCATION
During the first six months of 2026, Pfizer deployed its capital in a variety of ways, which primarily included:
■Reinvesting capital into initiatives intended to enhance the future growth prospects of the company, including:
–$5.3 billion invested in internal research and development projects, and
–Approximately $170 million invested in business development transactions. In addition, on July 10, 2026, we completed the Innovent Biologics, Inc. transaction, which will be recorded in the third quarter of 2026.
■Returning capital directly to shareholders through $4.9 billion of cash dividends, or $0.86 per share of common stock.
Our capital allocation framework is designed to enhance long-term shareholder value, and is based on three core pillars: (i) reinvesting in the business, including maintaining the flexibility to deploy capital towards potential value-creating business development transactions, (ii) maintaining and, over the long term, growing our dividend, and (iii) in the future, the potential to resume the return of capital to shareholders through value-enhancing share repurchases after de-levering our balance sheet. The company expects to continue to de-lever over the longer term in a prudent manner in order to maintain a balanced capital allocation strategy.
No share repurchases have been completed to date in 2026. As of August 4, 2026, Pfizer’s remaining share repurchase authorization is $3.3 billion. Current financial guidance does not anticipate any share repurchases in 2026.
For the second-quarter of 2026, basic weighted-average shares outstanding of 5,699 million were used to calculate Reported(4) LPS and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding of 5,734 million were used to calculate Adjusted(3) diluted EPS. Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding of 5,706 million were used to calculate Reported(4) and Adjusted(3) diluted EPS for second-quarter 2025.
QUARTERLY FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (Second-Quarter 2026 vs. Second-Quarter 2025)
Second-quarter 2026 revenues totaled $15.0 billion, an increase of $381 million, or 3%, compared to the prior-year quarter, reflecting an operational increase of $164 million, or 1%, and a favorable impact of foreign exchange of $217 million. The operational increase was driven by an increase in revenues for Eliquis, Padcev, the Vyndaqel family, Lorbrena and several other products across categories, partially offset by a decline in COVID-19 product revenues and several other products across categories. Excluding contributions from Comirnaty and Paxlovid, revenues for the second quarter grew 5% operationally. Additionally, second-quarter revenues of our Launched and Acquired Products(1) grew 18% operationally.
Second-quarter 2026 operational revenue growth was driven primarily by:
■Eliquis globally, up 19% operationally, driven primarily by higher net price in the U.S. primarily due to pricing dynamics, including lower rebates and channel mix favorability, as well as higher demand globally; partially offset by declines due to generic entry and price erosion in certain international markets;
■Padcev globally, up 23% operationally, driven primarily by increased market share in first-line locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer (la/mUC), as well as launch uptake in the cisplatin-ineligible indication for muscle-invasive bladder cancer; partially offset by a one-time favorable impact associated with transition to a wholesaler distribution model in the U.S. in the prior-year quarter;
■Vyndaqel family (Vyndaqel, Vyndamax, Vynmac) globally, up 8% operationally. International growth was primarily driven by strong demand with continuing uptake in patient diagnosis across international markets, as well as improved access in certain international markets. In the U.S., growth was primarily driven by continued market expansion, partially offset by net price erosion as a result of new payer contracts; and
■Lorbrena globally, up 37% operationally, driven primarily by increased patient share in the first-line ALK-positive metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (ALK+ mNSCLC) treatment setting in the U.S., China, and certain other international markets; partially offset primarily by lower revenues for:
■Paxlovid globally, down 95% operationally, driven primarily by lower COVID-19 infections across the U.S. and international markets and lower government purchases in certain international markets; and
■Comirnaty globally, down 34% operationally, driven primarily by a lower favorable adjustment to the returns provision, as well as lower utilization in the U.S. primarily resulting from a narrower recommendation for vaccination.

Second-quarter 2026 Cost of Sales(4) as a percentage of revenues increased by 1.4 percentage points compared to the prior-year quarter, primarily driven by an unfavorable change in sales mix and higher amortization of the fair value step-up of acquired inventory, primarily driven by the Oxbryta impairment.
Second-quarter 2026 SI&A Expenses(4) decreased 1% operationally compared to the prior-year quarter, primarily reflecting lower spending in corporate enabling functions, largely offset by an increase in implementation costs associated with our cost realignment program.

Second-quarter 2026 R&D Expenses(4) increased 13% operationally compared to the prior-year quarter, driven primarily by an increase in spending in certain oncology and obesity product candidates, which was anticipated.
Other (income)/deductions—net(4) was $3.7 billion for the second quarter of 2026. The increase compared to the prior-year quarter is primarily the result of intangible asset impairment charges, and to a lesser extent, charges for certain legal matters, partially offset by a net gain in 2026 from the sale of our previous investment in ViiV Healthcare Limited.
Pfizer’s higher effective tax rate on Reported(4) loss for the second quarter of 2026 reflects a tax benefit on the pre-tax loss resulting from changes in jurisdictional mix of earnings, primarily due to intangible asset impairments.

berobenatide
(PF’3944)
Phase 2 Results
June 2026. Presented detailed results from multiple Phase 2b studies of berobenatide (PF’3944), an investigational, potential first-in-class monthly GLP-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) peptide. Across both weekly and monthly dosing in participants with obesity or overweight, with and without type 2 diabetes, the data from the Phase 2b VESPER-1, 2 and 3 studies provided proof of concept for berobenatide as a potential first-in-class monthly GLP-1 RA peptide that can deliver competitive weight loss; showed favorable tolerability for berobenatide, including low gastrointestinal adverse events and discontinuations despite rapid dose escalation and no allowed step-down; and highlighted the potential for monthly delivery in a patient-friendly presentation with a very low 0.5 mL injection volume that provides convenience and scalability advantages.
These data support Pfizer’s plans to advance 10 Phase 3 studies for berobenatide in 2026 for chronic weight management and obesity-related comorbidities including knee osteoarthritis and obstructive sleep apnea, as part of a broader program of 20+ obesity trials.

sigvotatug vedotin Phase 3 Results
June 2026. Announced topline results from the Phase 3 SigVie-002 study (previously known as Be6A Lung-01) evaluating sigvotatug vedotin, an investigational, potential first-in-class integrin beta-6 (IB6) directed antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). The study enrolled adults with locally advanced, unresectable or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC who had received one or more lines of prior therapy. In the overall population, sigvotatug vedotin did not show a statistically significant improvement in the primary endpoint of OS compared to docetaxel. The safety profile of sigvotatug vedotin was manageable and consistent with prior studies. In patients who received only one prior line of systemic therapy, which represents two-thirds of the study population, a stronger trend was observed for OS and PFS for sigvotatug vedotin over docetaxel. In the exploratory analysis, no clear IB6 expression-response relationship was observed. Pfizer is evaluating sigvotatug vedotin in several ongoing studies across multiple stages and patient populations in NSCLC and other solid tumors.

Expansion of Ongoing Cost Savings Programs(5)
Announced at Q2-2026 Earnings. Pfizer announced $1.0 billion of additional anticipated net cost savings associated with its ongoing cost realignment program (the "Realigning Our Cost Base Program") driven by further productivity enhancements from technology and simplification efforts across our commercial, R&D and enabling functions. These additional net savings are expected to further reduce costs in SI&A and be realized from 2027 through 2029. Pfizer expects one-time costs to achieve the additional savings to be incurred through 2029 and to total approximately $2.0 billion, primarily representing cash expenditures for digital enablement, implementation and severance. Pfizer previously announced that it remains on track to deliver anticipated net cost savings of approximately $5.7 billion by the end of 2026 and, with the additional anticipated savings, Pfizer now expects total net cost savings of approximately $6.7 billion from the Realigning our Cost Base Program through 2029.
The estimate of costs that Pfizer expects to incur and savings that Pfizer expects to achieve, and the timing thereof, are subject to a number of assumptions and actual results may differ from current expectations. Pfizer may also incur other charges or cash expenditures not currently contemplated due to events that may occur as a result of, or associated with, the Realigning our Cost Base Program.
N/A
Announced at Q2-2026 Earnings. Pfizer announced the next phase of its multi-year program designed to reduce our cost of goods sold. This phase of the cost reduction program (the "program") is focused on network structure changes, product portfolio enhancements and additional operational efficiencies and is expected to deliver additional anticipated savings of approximately $1.5 billion through 2029, some of which is expected to begin being realized in 2027. The one-time costs to achieve the savings associated with this phase of the program are expected to be approximately $4.0 billion, with approximately 60% of non-cash expenditures for accelerated depreciation and asset write-downs and 40% of cash expenditures for severance, implementation and exit costs. The costs to achieve these savings are expected to be incurred through 2029. Pfizer previously announced that it remains on track to deliver anticipated net cost savings from the first phase of this program of approximately $1.5 billion by the end of 2027 and, with the additional targeted savings from this phase, Pfizer now expects total net cost savings of approximately $3.0 billion from this program through 2029.
The estimate of costs that Pfizer expects to incur and savings that Pfizer expects to achieve, and the timing thereof, are subject to a number of assumptions and actual results may differ from current expectations. Pfizer may also incur other charges or cash expenditures not currently contemplated due to events that may occur as a result of, or associated with, the program as well as for potential future phases.

Presented Compelling Colorectal Cancer Recurrence Detection: The prospective VICTORI study led by the University of British Columbia showed NeXT Personal detected 100% of all patient relapses, including all distant metastases in historically difficult-to-detect regions like the lung. Notably, just four weeks after surgery, NeXT Personal detected over 80% of patients who later relapsed, providing clinicians with an early signal of cancer to inform treatment pathways.

Highlighted Importance of Sub-10 ppm Sensitivity in Lung Cancer: Approximately 21% of pre-operative adenocarcinoma and 18% of post-operative landmark detections in the TRACERx study were below 10 ppm—thresholds frequently missed by less sensitive assays. Patients detected in this range experienced a three-fold increased risk of recurrence compared to patients with undetectable ctDNA, potentially enabling much earlier clinical intervention.

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results Compared with Second Quarter 2025

CEO Commentary

"We delivered another exceptional quarter of growth, highlighted by a 199% year-over-year and 33% sequential increase in clinical volume, with more than 1,400 physicians ordering NeXT Personal," said Chris Hall, Chief Executive Officer of Personalis. "Our second quarter accomplishments further demonstrate that execution of our ‘Win-in-MRD’ strategy to establish NeXT Personal as the new standard for detecting cancer recurrence early has been effective. Looking into the second half of the year, we remain excited about the scale, complementary capabilities and resources that combining with Tempus gives us to accelerate innovation and deliver even greater value to patients, clinicians and biopharma partners and we expect to continue building our body of evidence to support reimbursement expansion into new indications, as well as continue to grow adoption of Next Personal by the clinical community. We remain firmly on-track to achieve more than a 500% increase in our clinical revenue over last year."
