"We continue to make great strides in improving the safety and availability of transfused blood components around the globe and the record quarterly product revenue results reflect that progress. Product revenue growth was driven by strong global commercial execution and growing awareness of the benefits conferred by our INTERCEPT Blood System. Furthermore, hospital demand for INTERCEPT fibrinogen complex or IFC in the U.S. continues to increase, bolstered by the many positive case studies from large academic hospitals that have implemented IFC in routine use," said William "Obi" Greenman, Cerus’ president and chief executive officer.

Hospital demand for IFC continues to increase with third quarter volumes (equivalent to FC15* therapeutic units) up approximately 110% compared to the prior year period. Q3 U.S. IFC sales totaled $3.9 million, up from $2.3 million during the prior year period.
Completed enrollment in the U.S. RedeS trial, the second pivotal U.S. Phase 3 clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of red blood cells prepared with the INTERCEPT Blood System for Red Blood Cells (RBCs) in patient populations requiring RBC transfusion for acute and chronic anemia. Study results are expected in the second half of 2026.
Third quarter GAAP net loss attributable to Cerus narrowed to $0.02 million, near breakeven. Third-quarter non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA totaled $5.0 million.
Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments were $78.5 million at September 30, 2025, supported by $1.9 million of operating cash flow generation for the quarter.
Revenue

Product revenue during the third quarter of 2025 was $52.7 million, compared to $46.0 million during the prior year period. This year-over-year increase of 15% was led by growth in IFC and global platelet sales.

Third-quarter 2025 government contract revenue was $7.5 million, compared to $4.6 million during the prior year period. Our government contract revenue was comprised of funding associated with research and development (R&D) activities related to the INTERCEPT RBC program as well as efforts related to the development of next-generation pathogen reduction technology to treat whole-blood and development of lyophilized IFC. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by increasing enrollment in the Phase 3 RedeS trial for the INTERCEPT RBC system covered under the Company’s 2016 agreement with BARDA and the activities for the advancement of the INTERCEPT RBC system covered under the Company’s 2024 BARDA contract.

Product Gross Profit and Margin

Product gross profit for the third quarter of 2025 was $28.1 million, increasing by 7% over the prior year period. Product gross margin for the third quarter of 2025 was 53.4% compared to 56.9% for the third quarter of 2024. As contemplated in the Company’s previous remarks, import tariffs, inflationary pressure, and higher IFC production costs to meet increasing demand impacted product gross margin compared to the prior year period.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2025 were $34.4 million compared to $31.8 million for the same period of the prior year, reflecting a year-over-year increase of 8%.

R&D expenses for the third quarter of 2025 were $15.8 million, compared to $14.0 million in the third quarter of 2024. The primary drivers for the increase in R&D expenses were higher government contract costs incurred to support our government research activities and the resulting government contract revenue, as well as enrollment in the Phase 3 RedeS trial and U.S. development costs on INT200, the new LED-based illumination device.

SG&A expenses totaled $18.6 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $17.8 million for the third quarter of 2024. Year-over-year SG&A expenses were relatively consistent due to multiple offsetting factors and reflect the Company’s ongoing focus on driving leverage.

Net Loss Attributable to Cerus Corporation

Net loss attributable to Cerus Corporation for the third quarter of 2025 was $0.02 million, or $0.00 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss attributable to Cerus Corporation of $2.9 million, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, for the same period of the prior year. Net loss attributable to Cerus Corporation for the first nine months of 2025 was $13.4 million compared to net loss attributable to Cerus Corporation of $18.4 million for the first nine months of 2024.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2025 rose to a positive $5.0 million, compared to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of positive $4.4 million for the same period of the prior year. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of 2025 was a positive $6.1 million compared to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of positive $2.5 million for the first nine months of 2024.

The Company is well positioned to achieve its previously stated goal of positive full-year 2025 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA. For additional information, please see definitions and the reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to net loss attributable to Cerus Corporation accompanying this release.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flows

At September 30, 2025, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $78.5 million, compared to $80.5 million at December 31, 2024. The Company’s revolving line of credit allows for an additional $15.0 million as of September 30, 2025, which is dependent on eligible assets supporting the borrowing base.

For the third quarter of 2025, cash generated from operations totaled $1.9 million compared to $4.1 million generated during the same period of the prior year.

Raising Full-Year 2025 Product Revenue Guidance

The Company now expects full-year 2025 product revenue to be in the range of $202 million to $204 million, reflecting growth of 12% to 13% from 2024. Included in this range is full-year 2025 IFC revenue guidance between $16 million to $17 million. Previously, the Company’s 2025 product revenue guidance range was $200 million to $203 million, including IFC revenue guidance between $16 million to $18 million.

Amtagvi demand is increasing as we integrate our community treatment centers to drive earlier treatment and better outcomes for patients. We are building a successful commercial business, while advancing our high value development programs to address significant unmet medical needs in patients with solid tumor cancers."

Third Quarter Financial Highlights
Topline Growth, Significant Margin Improvement, and Initial Benefits of Cost Optimization

Total product revenue grew 13% over the prior quarter to ~$68 million, including U.S. Amtagvi revenue of ~$58 million and global Proleukin revenue of ~$10 million.
Gross margin of 43% from cost of sales of ~$39 million reflected improved execution and the initial benefits of cost optimization. Additional operational excellence initiatives are underway to drive further near- and long-term improvements.
Cash and cash equivalents, investments, and restricted cash totaled ~$307 million as of September 30, 2025. The current cash position, bolstered by expense reductions, is expected to fund operations into the second quarter of 2027.
Full-year 2025 revenue guidance is reaffirmed within the range of $250 to $300 million in the first full calendar year of Amtagvi sales.
Centralizing manufacturing at the Iovance Cell Therapy Center (iCTC) in early 2026 will reduce external manufacturing expenses and continue to improve gross margins.
Amtagvi U.S. Launch
Strong Commercial Execution Across Growing Academic and Community Treatment Networks

More than 80 U.S. authorized treatment centers (ATCs) have been activated across nearly 40 states, providing a broad network within a two-hour drive for ~95% of Amtagvi patients.
Community ATCs have treated their first Amtagvi patients, with growth acceleration expected in future quarters.
More community ATCs are being opened, which is expected to further drive demand.
Increased awareness of treatment benefits from real-world evidence data is driving earlier Amtagvi adoption and improved referral trends among medical oncologists.
A number of initiatives are underway to broaden patient access to Amtagvi, including a specialty pharmacy agreement with InspiroGene by McKesson.
Manufacturing turnaround time continues to improve with a current average of 32 days from inbound to return shipment to ATCs.
Amtagvi Global Expansion
Opportunity to Address up to 30,000 Patients Globally with Previously Treated Advanced Melanoma1

In August 2025, Health Canada granted the first Amtagvi approval outside the U.S. for patients with previously treated advanced melanoma.
Potential approvals of Amtagvi are anticipated in the United Kingdom and Australia in the first half of 2026 and Switzerland in 2027.
Iovance is finalizing a strategy with the European Medicines Agency (EMA) to support EU marketing authorization for Amtagvi.
Pipeline Progress and Anticipated Milestones by Program

Lifileucel in Solid Tumors

Positive interim data from the IOV-LUN-202 clinical trial demonstrated a potentially best-in-class clinical profile for lifileucel in previously treated advanced nonsquamous NSCLC patients.
The objective response rate (ORR) was 26% and the median duration of response (mDOR) was not reached at more than 25 months of follow up. Updated data will be presented at a medical meeting in 2026.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) previously provided positive regulatory feedback on the IOV-LUN-202 trial design and the proposed potency assay matrix to support registration.
Iovance expects the IOV-LUN-202 trial to complete enrollment in 2026 and support a supplemental Biologics License Application for lifileucel in nonsquamous NSCLC, with a potential launch in 2027.
Initial results from the IOV-END-201 clinical trial of lifileucel in previously treated advanced endometrial cancer are on track for early 2026.
The TILVANCE-301 clinical trial is active at more than 75 clinical sites and continues to accrue patients to investigate lifileucel in combination with pembrolizumab in frontline advanced melanoma. The trial is designed with FDA and EMA input to show contribution of components compared to pembrolizumab alone.
A new potentially registrational clinical trial, designated IOV-MEL 202, will investigate lifileucel in advanced melanoma patients previously treated with anti-PD-1 therapy, primarily outside the U.S. The trial includes outpatient use of Amtagvi in the community setting and will enroll a subgroup of true second-line BRAF mutation positive patients without prior BRAF inhibitor therapy.
Next Generation Programs

Clinical results for IOV-4001, a PD-1 inactivated TIL cell therapy, in previously treated advanced melanoma patients are anticipated in the first quarter of 2026. Other potential indications for IOV-4001 are also in development.
Dose escalation is continuing for IOV-3001, a second-generation, modified IL-2 analog for use in the TIL therapy treatment regimen. Preclinical studies of IOV-3001 demonstrated the potential for improved safety, convenience of less frequent dosing and strong effector T cell expansion. Advancement into Phase 2 development is expected in 2026.
An Investigational New Drug (IND) submission is planned in early 2026 for IOV-5001, a genetically engineered, inducible, and tethered interleukin-12 TIL therapy, in solid tumor cancers with large patient populations and urgent unmet medical.
Webcast and Conference Call

Management will host a conference call and live audio webcast to discuss these results and provide a corporate update today at 8:30 a.m. ET. To listen to the live or archived audio webcast, please register at View Source The live and archived webcast can be accessed in the Investors section of the Company’s website, IR.Iovance.com, for one year.

UroGen Reports 77.8% Three-Month Complete Response Rate from Phase 3 UTOPIA Trial of UGN-103 and Receives FDA Agreement on NDA Submission Strategy in Recurrent LG-IR-NMIBC Based on UTOPIA Trial

On November 6, 2025 UroGen Pharma Ltd. (Nasdaq: URGN), a biotech company dedicated to developing and commercializing innovative solutions that treat urothelial and specialty cancers, reported robust preliminary results from its ongoing Phase 3 UTOPIA trial, demonstrating a 77.8% three-month complete response (CR) rate (95% CI, 68.3%, 85.5%) with UGN-103 (mitomycin) for intravesical solution in patients with recurrent low-grade intermediate-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (LG-IR-NMIBC). This result is consistent with the 79.6% three-month CR rate (95% CI, 73.9%, 84.5%) observed following treatment with ZUSDURI in the pivotal ENVISION trial. In addition, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) agreed that CR and durability results from the UTOPIA trial can support the submission of a New Drug Application (NDA) for UGN-103 for recurrent LG-IR-NMIBC.

"The robust 77.8% three-month CR rate observed in the UTOPIA trial is highly encouraging and reinforces the potential of UGN-103 to deliver meaningful benefits to patients," said Liz Barrett, President and Chief Executive Officer of UroGen. "In addition, the FDA’s agreement that the UTOPIA trial can support the submission of an NDA for UGN-103 represents a significant regulatory milestone and a strong validation of our clinical strategy. Together, these achievements give us significant momentum and a clear path toward potential approval, positioning UGN-103 as a key growth driver and marking an important advancement in expanding our leadership in uro-oncology. We look forward to working closely with the FDA as we complete the UTOPIA trial and prepare for an NDA submission in 2026."

UGN-103 is designed to offer key improvements over ZUSDURI (mitomycin) for intravesical solution, the first and only FDA-approved treatment for adults with recurrent LG-IR-NMIBC. These include a shorter manufacturing process and a simplified reconstitution procedure, while maintaining UroGen’s established approach that enables prolonged drug exposure within the bladder. UroGen has two U.S. patents with claims relating to the combination of the Company’s RTGel technology combined with medac’s licensed proprietary lyophilized mitomycin formulation. These patents cover UGN-103 as well as the use of UGN-103 for the treatment of LG-IR-NMIBC and expire in December 2041.

About UTOPIA

The UTOPIA trial is a single-arm, multicenter study evaluating the efficacy and safety of UGN-103 in 99 patients across global sites. Enrolled patients received 75 mg of UGN-103 via intravesical instillation once weekly for six weeks. The primary endpoint is complete response rate at three months, with responders entering a follow-up phase of up to 12 months to assess durability of response. For more information on the UTOPIA study, please visit View Source

About UGN-103
In January 2024, UroGen entered into a licensing and supply agreement with medac to develop UGN-103 for LG-IR-NMIBC. UGN-103 is an innovative mitomycin formulation that aims to streamline manufacturing and reconstitution processes while providing intellectual property coverage until December 2041. It utilizes UroGen’s RTGel technology for prolonged mitomycin exposure.

About ZUSDURI

ZUSDURI (mitomycin) for intravesical solution is an innovative drug formulation of mitomycin approved for the treatment of adults with recurrent LG-IR-NMIBC. Utilizing UroGen’s proprietary RTGel technology (a sustained release, hydrogel-based formulation), ZUSDURI is delivered directly into the bladder by a trained healthcare professional using a urinary catheter in an outpatient setting, thereby enabling the treatment of tumors by non-surgical means.

About Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC)
LG-IR-NMIBC affects around 82,000 people in the U.S. every year and of those, an estimated 59,000 are recurrent. Bladder cancer primarily affects older populations with increased risk of comorbidities, with the median age of diagnosis being 73 years. Guideline recommendations for the management of NMIBC include transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) as the standard of care. Up to 70 percent of NMIBC patients experience at least one recurrence, and LG-IR-NMIBC patients are even more likely to recur and face repeated TURBT procedures.

New Study Validates Guardant Reveal Blood Test’s Effectiveness in Monitoring Chemotherapy Response

On November 6, 2025 Guardant Health, Inc. (Nasdaq: GH), a leading precision oncology company, reported new data demonstrating that its Guardant Reveal blood test helps clinicians to assess the effectiveness of chemotherapy in patients with advanced solid tumors months earlier than conventional methods. This is the first robust clinical validation study of pan-cancer chemotherapy monitoring, published in the Journal of Liquid Biopsy. The study used a tissue-free, methylation-based ctDNA tumor fraction signal to track changes in cancer over time and provides real-world evidence that changes detected in a blood-based tumor signal correlate strongly with patient outcomes, offering oncologists a timely and non-invasive tool for monitoring cancer therapy.

The study showed that any decrease in tumor fraction signal after chemotherapy initiation was associated with both longer treatment duration and increased survival rates. Notably, patients who experienced a greater than 98% reduction in the tumor signal saw the most significant benefits. Conversely, a rise in the tumor signal identified disease progression up to 18 months earlier with a median lead time of 2.3 months – much earlier than standard clinical measures could detect.

"This study demonstrates the potential of a blood test to give oncologists an earlier and accurate look at whether chemotherapy is helping," said Dr. Craig Eagle, Guardant Health Chief Medical Officer. "Guardant Reveal’s ability to detect molecular changes weeks or months before they show up on scans give doctors more time to adjust care and potentially spare patients from the toxicity of ineffective treatment."

The majority of patients with metastatic solid tumors receive chemotherapy at some point during their treatment. Guardant Reveal interrogates nearly 30,000 methylated regions across the genome resulting in unparalleled precision for tracking and monitoring tumor burden in patients. Because the methylation-based tumor fraction test doesn’t require tumor tissue, Guardant Reveal can be used more broadly to monitor treatment response across multiple cancer types.

"In Q3 2025, we gained significant momentum on our strategy to develop innovative oncology therapies that substantially increase patient survival," said Denny Lanfear, Coherus Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "The vast majority of our study sites are enrolling, driving towards multiple data readouts in 2026 across a number of tumor types. We have now expanded our CHS-114 CCR8 Treg depleter clinical program to include colorectal cancer, an area of growing unmet need, impacting even younger patients."

"The importance of CCR8 as a cancer target is highlighted by the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, which recognized the pivotal role of Treg cells in peripheral immune tolerance and their pathological role in autoimmunity and cancer," said Theresa LaVallee, PhD, Coherus Chief Scientific and Development Officer. Coherus Oncology was recently honored to present our clinical data on CHS-114 showing the cytolytic antibody’s potency and selectively, with robust tumoral Treg depletion, immune activation and a good safety profile at a SITC (Free SITC Whitepaper) presentation focused on a deep dive into development of antibodies targeting CCR8 Tregs, reflecting our scientific leadership in this rapidly evolving field."

"Our clinical programs target tumor types where there is a clear biological rationale and a significant unmet medical need with available therapies," said Rosh Dias, MD, Chief Medical Officer. "We have previously shown encouraging data for both casdozokitug and CHS-114, and we expect maturing datasets from our ongoing studies throughout 2026."

RECENT BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

LOQTORZI (toripalimab-tpzi) Commercial Updates

LOQTORZI remains the only FDA-approved and available treatment in the U.S. for recurrent, locally advanced or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), in all patient subsets and across all lines of therapy.
LOQTORZI net revenue for Q3 2025 was $11.2 million, a 12% increase over $10.0 million in Q2 2025 and a 92% increase over LOQTORZI net revenue of $5.8 million in Q3 2024. Growth in Q3 2025 was driven largely by higher patient demand from both increasing new account starts as well as repeat use in existing accounts. Average duration of treatment among existing patients also continues to grow.
Increasing awareness of the revised National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines granting LOQTORZI preferred status within the NPC indication continues to drive strong demand growth among head & neck cancer specialists. The Company’s focus remains on deepening adoption within general oncologists in the community setting by driving education on clinical data and updated NCCN guidelines. While half of all NPC patients in the U.S. are managed in this setting, market penetration will continue at a steady and gradual pace due to the rarity of patients seen by these oncologists.

ADVANCEMENT OF INNOVATIVE, NEXT-GENERATION ONCOLOGY PIPELINE

LOQTORZI is a next-generation PD-1 marketed in the U.S. in two indications.

Coherus plans to maximize the value of this medicine by combining LOQTORZI with internal pipeline candidates, CHS-114 and casdozokitug, for additional solid tumor indications and entering into capital-efficient external partnerships for label expansions.
In October 2025, the Cancer Research Institute announced the first patient enrolled in the third cohort of the ongoing Immunotherapy Platform Study in Platinum-Resistant High-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer (IPROC) (NCT04918186). The third cohort of the Phase 2 trial is evaluating LOQTORZI in combination with ENB Therapeutics’ ENB-003 for the treatment of ovarian cancer.

CHS-114 is a highly selective cytolytic CCR8 antibody that specifically binds and preferentially depletes CCR8+ tumor regulatory T cells (Tregs) with no off-target binding.

Updated biomarker data from the Phase 1b study dose expansion study in 2L+ head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) will be presented on Saturday, November 8, 2025 at the 40th Annual Meeting of the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) (Free SITC Whitepaper).
Phase 1b CHS-114/toripalimab combination dose optimization studies in 2L HNSCC and 2L gastric cancers are underway, with initial data readouts for HNSCC expected in 1H 2026.
A Phase 1b study evaluating the CHS-114/toripalimab combination, with and without chemotherapy, in 1L and 2L esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), respectively, is underway with a first data readout expected in mid-2026.
A Phase 1b/2a study evaluating CHS-114/toripalimab combination in 4L+ colorectal cancer is enrolling patients and initial data is expected in 2H 2026.

Casdozokitug is a first-in-class, clinical-stage IL-27 antagonist, with demonstrated monotherapy activity in treatment-refractory non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and combination activity in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Enrollment is ongoing in the Phase 2 randomized trial of casdozokitug/toripalimab/bevacizumab in 1L HCC, with the first data readout expected in mid-2026.
On November 2, 2025, new data was presented at the Cytokines 2025 annual meeting demonstrating casdozokitug promotes NK and T cell activity, and antitumor response in patients with advanced solid tumors. These biomarker data continue to support treatment with casdozokitug which leads to inhibition of IL-27 signaling and enhanced cytolytic immune activity (by NK and T cells). The new data reveal these biomarker changes following treatment of HCC patients with casdozokitug and standard of care are associated with clinical response (and thus, support an important contribution of casdozokitug).

THIRD QUARTER 2025 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Net revenue from continuing operations was $11.6 million and $6.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $29.4 million and $18.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. LOQTORZI net product revenue increased $5.3 million and $16.9 million compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, driven primarily by volume growth of LOQTORZI, which launched in December 2023. The increase in the nine-month period was partially offset by a decrease in other revenue primarily driven by a $6.1 million upfront fee recognized in the prior year for the out-license of rights to commercialize toripalimab within Canada.

Cost of goods sold (COGS) from continuing operations was $3.7 million and $2.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $9.8 million and $6.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increases were primarily due to volume growth of LOQTORZI.

Research and development (R&D) expenses from continuing operations were $27.3 million and $22.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $77.9 million and $71.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increases were primarily due to increased costs for development of casdozokitug and CHS-114, partially offset by savings from reduced activities related to other programs, reduced headcount, and lower infrastructure costs.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses from continuing operations were $24.9 million and $28.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $77.0 million and $95.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decreases were driven primarily by lower headcount and decreased operating costs following Coherus’ recent divestitures, partially offset by a $1.6 million net impairment charge in the third quarter of 2025 for the write-off of an intangible asset and associated contingent value right ("CVR") liability related to GSK4381562, acquired in the Surface Oncology, Inc. acquisition. The decrease in the nine-month period was further due to a net $6.8 million charge in the first quarter of 2024 for the write-off of an intangible asset and associated CVR liability related to NZV930, which was also acquired in the Surface Oncology, Inc. acquisition.

Interest expense from continuing operations was $2.3 million and $2.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $6.8 million and $8.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in the nine-month period was primarily due to the prepayment of the remaining $75.0 million of the principal amount due under the 2027 Term Loans on May 8, 2024, partially offset by interest on the $38.7 million senior secured term loan facility and the LOQTORZI portion of the Revenue Participation Right Purchase and Sale Agreement, each commencing May 8, 2024.

Net loss from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2025 was $44.5 million, or $(0.38) per share on a diluted basis, compared to a net loss of $47.6 million, or $(0.41) per share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 2024. Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $136.8 million, or $(1.18) per share on a diluted basis, compared to net loss of $169.3 million, or $(1.48) per share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 2024.

Non-GAAP net loss from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2025 was $38.9 million, or $(0.33) per share on a diluted basis, compared to $40.0 million, or $(0.35) per share for the same period in 2024. Non-GAAP net loss for the nine months ended September 2025 was $118.8 million, or $(1.02) per share on a diluted basis, compared to a net loss of $127.1 million, or $(1.11) per share for the same period in 2024. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for a discussion on how Coherus calculates non-GAAP net loss from continuing operations and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $191.7 million as of September 30, 2025, compared to $126.0 million as of December 31, 2024. A majority of the $67.0 million in accrued rebates, fees and reserves reflected on the September 30, 2025 balance sheet were UDENYCA-related obligations that did not transfer in the divestiture and are expected to be settled in a front-weighted fashion over the remainder of the year and into 2026.
