"The highly compelling results of our Phase 2b NAVIGATE trial for CD388 and subsequent financing puts us in a position of strength to execute on our Phase 3 plan to examine the potential of CD388, a non-vaccine solution, to provide single-dose per season, universal protection against influenza in individuals at greatest risk from influenza," said Jeffrey Stein, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of Cidara. "Our planned Phase 3 development program focuses initially on individuals with compromised immune systems or those at a heightened risk of severe illness due to underlying health conditions. We have submitted an End-of-Phase 2 meeting request to the FDA to discuss our planned Phase 3 study design and start timing."

Recent and Expected Corporate Highlights

Phase 2b NAVIGATE trial evaluating CD388 for the prevention of seasonal influenza generated positive top-line results in June 2025. The study met its primary and all secondary efficacy endpoints for all dose groups. Single doses of 450mg, 300mg and 150mg of CD388 conferred 76.1%, 61.3% and 57.7% protection, respectively, from symptomatic influenza over 24 weeks compared to placebo. The placebo attack rate was 2.8% for the primary endpoint, and a clear dose response for efficacy was observed. CD388 was well-tolerated with no safety signals observed, and there were no meaningful changes in safety across the dose groups and placebo. Loss to follow-up rates were low and similar in all arms. Full primary analysis details from the Phase 2b NAVIGATE trial are expected to be submitted to upcoming scientific conferences in 2025.
End of Phase 2 meeting request submitted to the FDA in June 2025. Based on the robust data from the Phase 2b NAVIGATE trial, Cidara has submitted an End of Phase 2 meeting request to the FDA to review the data and discuss the details of a proposed Phase 3 study focusing on large populations with the highest unmet need, which includes high-risk/co-morbid and immune-compromised patients. We plan to initiate the Phase 3 study no later than in the spring of 2026 during the Southern Hemisphere influenza season, subject to FDA consultation on our study design.
Closed an upsized public offering for gross proceeds of $402.5 million in June 2025. Cidara closed an underwritten public offering of 9,147,727 shares of its common stock, including the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase an additional 1,193,181 shares, at a price to the public of $44.00 per share. The gross proceeds to Cidara from the offering, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses, were $402.5 million.
Company announces inclusion in the Russell 2000 and Russell 3000 Indexes in June 2025. In June 2025, Cidara was added to the Russell 2000 and Russell 3000 Indexes, further enhancing the Company’s visibility with the institutional investment community.
Hosted virtual research and development (R&D) Day to discuss CD388 as a potential universal, once-per-flu season preventative of seasonal and pandemic influenza in May 2025. The event featured key opinion leaders Fred Hayden, MD, FACP (University of Virginia School of Medicine) and Rick Bright, PhD (Pandemic Prevention Institute, The Rockefeller Foundation), who joined company management to discuss CD388.
Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $516.9 million as of June 30, 2025, compared with $196.2 million as of December 31, 2024.
Collaboration revenue was zero for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $0.3 million and $1.3 million for the same periods in 2024, respectively. Collaboration revenue related to R&D and clinical supply services provided to J&J Innovative Medicine, previously Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., one of the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson (Janssen), under our license and collaboration agreement with Janssen (the Janssen Collaboration Agreement) which was terminated upon the effectiveness of our license and technology transfer agreement with Janssen (the Janssen License Agreement) on April 24, 2024.
Acquired in-process research and development (IPR&D) expenses were zero for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $84.9 million for the same periods in 2024. Acquired IPR&D related to an upfront payment of $85.0 million paid to Janssen under the Janssen License Agreement on April 24, 2024, plus $0.4 million in direct transaction costs, offset by a gain of $0.5 million to settle the preexisting Janssen Collaboration Agreement relationship.
R&D expenses were $24.8 million and $49.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to $6.7 million and $12.6 million for the same periods in 2024, respectively. The increase in R&D expenses is primarily due to higher expenses associated with our CD388 Phase 2b NAVIGATE study as well as CD388 development costs relating to our planned Phase 3 study, offset by lower nonclinical expenses associated with our Cloudbreak platform.
General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $6.5 million and $12.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to $4.7 million and $8.3 million for the same periods in 2024, respectively. The increase in G&A expenses is primarily due to higher personnel costs relating to stock-based compensation, offset by lower audit fees and legal costs.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company determined that accrued indirect taxes relating to shipments of our former rezafungin assets totaling $3.9 million and $9.4 million, respectively, were not due and payable upon voluntary disclosure and full compliance in certain jurisdictions and the associated liabilities and operating expenses were reversed as part of continuing operations. No indirect tax reversals were recorded during the same periods in 2024.
Income from discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was zero, compared to $3.0 million and $0.9 million for the same periods in 2024, respectively. On April 24, 2024, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Napp Pharmaceutical Group Limited (Napp), an affiliate of Mundipharma Medical Company, pursuant to which all rezafungin assets and related contracts were sold to Napp. All conditions of the sale were completed on April 24, 2024, and the financial results of rezafungin have been reported separately as discontinued operations.
Net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $25.7 million and $49.2 million, respectively, compared to a net loss of $91.2 million and $101.5 million for the same periods in 2024, respectively.

The Company announced on July 22, 2025 that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had issued a Complete Response Letter (CRL) for the RP1 BLA in advanced melanoma.

"Based on the compelling clinical data and safety profile generated to date with RP1 in the IGNYTE study, the melanoma community, including clinical experts and patients, strongly believe RP1 should be made available to patients that have few remaining treatment options as soon as possible. We are committed to finding an expeditious path forward with the FDA," said Sushil Patel, Ph.D., CEO of Replimune.

Program Highlights & Milestones

RP1 (vusolimogene oderparepvec)

The global Phase 3 trial, IGNYTE-3 assessing RP1 in combination with nivolumab is ongoing. The trial is expected to enroll approximately 400 patients across 100 sites globally and is assessing RP1 in combination with nivolumab in patients with advanced melanoma who have progressed on anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 therapies or are ineligible for anti-CTLA-4 treatment. The primary endpoint of this trial is overall survival and key secondary endpoints are progression free survival and overall response rate. Following the CRL, the Company anticipates discussing the design of this trial with the FDA.

RP1 (vusolimogene oderparepvec)

RP1 + nivolumab in non-melanoma skin cancers
The Company continues to evaluate the potential of RP1 in merkel cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma and angiosarcoma, and locally advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, including anti-PD1-failed patients, in the ongoing IGNYTE trial cohort.
RP1 in skin cancer organ transplant patients
The Company continues to evaluate RP1 as monotherapy in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma patients with organ transplants in its Phase 2 ARTACUS trial. Data to-date has shown RP1 to be well tolerated with no cases of RP1-related allograft rejection observed. The overall response rate was 34.6% with a duration of response of 24 months in 61% of patients in the intent-to-treat population. ARTACUS continues to enroll patients.
RP2

RP2 in uveal melanoma
The registration-directed Phase 2/3 REVEAL trial of RP2 in metastatic uveal melanoma is currently enrolling. The clinical trial is expected to enroll approximately 280 patients with metastatic uveal melanoma who are immune checkpoint inhibitor-naïve and evaluate RP2 in combination with nivolumab versus ipilimumab in combination with nivolumab. The primary endpoints of the trial are overall survival and progression free survival, and key secondary endpoints are overall response rate and disease control rate.
RP2 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)
The Phase 2 clinical trial of RP2 combined with atezolizumab and bevacizumab in anti-PD1/PD-L1 progressed HCC is currently enrolling with data anticipated in the first half of 2026. This trial will evaluate RP2 combined with the second-line therapy of atezolizumab and bevacizumab and is expected to enroll 30 patients. The trial is being conducted under a collaboration and supply agreement with Roche.
RP2 in biliary tract cancer (BTC)
As previously reported, the Company expects to dose its first patient in the second half of 2025 in a cohort evaluating RP2 in patients with biliary tract cancer. This trial will evaluate RP2 combined with durvalumab and is expected to enroll 30 patients.
Financial Highlights

Cash Position: As of June 30, 2025, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $403.3 million, as compared to $483.8 million as of fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in cash balance was a result of cash burn related to operating activities in advancing the company’s clinical development plans.
Based on the current operating plan, the Company believes that existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, as of June 30, 2025 will enable the Company to fund operations into the fourth quarter of 2026 which includes the potential commercialization of RP1 in skin cancers and for working capital and general corporate purposes and excludes any potential revenue.

R&D Expenses: Research and development expenses were $57.8 million for the fiscal first quarter and $43.0 million for the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in personnel-related costs as we scaled operations in preparation for commercial launch of RP1, as well as medical affairs and consulting costs. Research and development expenses included $4.7 million in stock-based compensation expenses for the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2025.
S,G&A Expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses were $32.6 million for the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $14.4 million for the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2024. Selling, general and administrative expenses included $4.1 million in stock-based compensation expenses for the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2025.
Net Loss: Net loss was $86.7 million for the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2025 and $53.8 million for the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2024.
About RP1

RP1 (vusolimogene oderparepvec) is Replimune’s lead product candidate and is based on a proprietary strain of herpes simplex virus engineered and genetically armed with a fusogenic protein (GALV-GP R-) and GM-CSF intended to maximize tumor killing potency, the immunogenicity of tumor cell death, and the activation of a systemic anti-tumor immune response.

About RP2

RP2 is based on a proprietary strain of herpes simplex virus engineered and genetically armed with a fusogenic protein (GALV-GP R-) and GM-CSF intended to maximize tumor killing potency, the immunogenicity of tumor cell death and the activation of a systemic anti-tumor immune response. RP2 additionally expresses an anti-CTLA-4 antibody-like molecule, as well as GALV-GP R- and GM-CSF. RP2 is intended to provide targeted and potent delivery of these proteins to the sites of immune response initiation in the tumor and draining lymph nodes, with the goal of focusing systemic-immune-based efficacy on tumors and limiting off-target toxicity.

"Coherus Oncology is dedicated to significantly extending survival for people with cancer," said Denny Lanfear, Coherus Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We are executing well commercially, and our focus on maximizing LOQTORZI’s potential in nasopharyngeal carcinoma has resulted in a 36% net revenue increase over Q1 2025 to $10.0 million. With a cash runway through 2026, beyond key data readouts, continued strong clinical execution will derisk the pipeline, unlocking large U.S. market potential and creating Ex-U.S. licensing opportunities as the clinical data further evolve."

"Our pipeline clinical programs with CHS-114 and casdozkitug in solid tumors are progressing and on track for data readouts in 2026," said Theresa LaVallee, Ph.D., Coherus Chief Scientific and Development Officer. "Data on CHS-114, our cytolytic CCR8 antibody, in combination with toripalimab, provide compelling evidence of their potential in remodeling the tumor microenvironment by depleting immunosuppressive Treg cells with CHS-114 and boosting immune activation with toripalimab. We believe that in 2026, anti-CCR8s may start to realize their therapeutic promise and become a new treatment backbone, used broadly across solid tumor types."

RECENT BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

LOQTORZI (toripalimab-tpzi) COMMERCIAL UPDATES

LOQTORZI is 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 Q2 2025 was $10.0 million, a 36% growth over LOQTORZI net revenue of $7.3 million in Q1 2025. This growth was driven largely by higher patient demand and some inventory restocking. LOQTORZI net revenue was $3.8 million in Q2 2024.
Following a recent revision in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines granting LOQTORZI preferred status for NPC indication, the Company has seen strong demand growth among Head & Neck cancer specialists. The Company’s focus remains on deepening adoption within the community oncologist setting.
ADVANCEMENT OF INNOVATIVE, NEXT-GENERATION ONCOLOGY PIPELINE

LOQTORZI is a next-generation, differentiated 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.
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.

Phase 1b CHS-114/toripalimab combination dose optimization studies in 2L head and neck (HNSCC) and 2L gastric cancers are underway, with initial data readouts 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 1H 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 1H 2026.
UDENYCA DIVESTITURE COMPLETED AND CERTAIN FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS PAID OFF

On April 11, 2025, Coherus completed the UDENYCA divestiture and received $483.4 million in cash, inclusive of $118.4 million for UDENYCA product inventory. In addition, the Company is eligible to receive potential milestone payments of up to $75 million.

During Q2 2025, the Company used a portion of the proceeds from the UDENYCA sale to: (1) repay substantially all of the $230 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2026 Convertible Notes, and (2) buy out the royalty rights on the net revenues of UDENYCA, in accordance with the Revenue Purchase and Sale Agreement, resulting in a $47.7 million payment.

SECOND QUARTER 2025 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Net revenue from continuing operations was approximately $10.3 million for each of the quarters ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. LOQTORZI net product revenue increased $6.2 million compared to Q2 in the prior year primarily due to volume growth, offset by a $6.2 million decrease in other revenue primarily due to the upfront fee recognized in the prior year period for the outlicense of rights to commercialize toripalimab within Canada. Net revenue was $17.9 million and $12.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, with the increase primarily driven by volume growth of LOQTORZI, which launched in December 2023.

Cost of goods sold (COGS) from continuing operations was $3.4 million and $1.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $6.0 million and $3.2 million during the six months ended June 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 $26.3 million and $20.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $50.7 million and $49.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increases were primarily due to increased costs for development of casdozokitug and CHS-114, partially offset by reductions in co-development costs for toripalimab, termination of the TIGIT Program, savings from reduced headcount, and lower infrastructure costs.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses from continuing operations were $26.0 million and $27.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $52.1 million and $67.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decreases were driven primarily by lower headcount and decreased operating costs following Coherus’ recent divestitures. The decrease in the six-month period was also due to a net $6.8 million charge in the first quarter of 2024 for the write-off of an intangible asset and associated contingent value right liability related to NZV930, which was acquired in the Surface Oncology, Inc. acquisition.

Interest expense from continuing operations was $2.3 million and $4.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $4.4 million and $7.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decreases were 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 second quarter of 2025 was $44.9 million, or $(0.39) per share on a diluted basis, compared to a net loss of $54.9 million, or $(0.48) per share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 2024. Net loss for the first half of 2025 was $92.3 million, or $(0.80) per share on a diluted basis, compared to a net loss of $122.9 million, or $(1.08) per share on a diluted basis for the first half of 2024.

Non-GAAP net loss from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2025 was $39.0 million, or $(0.34) per share on a diluted basis, compared to $34.7 million, or $(0.30) per share for the same period in 2024. Non-GAAP net loss for the first half of 2025 was $79.9 million, or $(0.69) per share on a diluted basis, compared to $88.3 million, or $(0.78) per share for the first half of 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.

Net income from discontinued operations, net of tax was $342.6 million, or $2.95 per share on a diluted basis, for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $41.9 million, or $0.37 per share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 2024. Net income from discontinued operations, net of tax for the first half of 2025 was $333.5 million, or $2.88 per share on a diluted basis, compared to $212.8 million, or $1.87 per share on a diluted basis for the same period in 2024.

The increases compared to the prior year periods were primarily due to the $339.1 million net gain on the UDENYCA divestiture in April 2025, partially offset by the $22.9 million net gain on the YUSIMRY Sale in June 2024, the $10.3 million charge for loss on debt extinguishment, and lower net revenue driven by the 2024 divestitures. Total net revenues attributable to the Company’s divested products, UDENYCA, CIMERLI and YUSIMRY, which are reflected in discontinued operations, were $23.1 million and $54.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $55.2 million and $129.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The increase in the six-month period was partially offset by $153.6 million gain on sale of the CIMERLI divestiture in the first quarter of 2024 and an $11.8 million charge in the first quarter of 2025 for the change in fair value of the Royalty Fee Derivative Liability related to UDENYCA.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $237.6 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to $126.0 million as of December 31, 2024. A majority of the $96.8 million in accrued rebates, fees and reserves reflected on the June 30, 2025 balance sheet were UDENYCA-related obligations that did not transfer in the divestiture and are expected to be settled in a front-loaded fashion over the remainder of the year and into 2026.
