"During the third quarter, our team aggressively advanced each of our previously outlined strategic priorities, which we believe will position MacroGenics for long-term success. Importantly, we secured $75 million in additional non-dilutive partnership payments, which we expect to receive during the fourth quarter. As part of these recent partnering activities, we extended our relationship with Gilead to include a preclinical program based on our novel T-cell engager platform," said Eric Risser, President and CEO of MacroGenics. "On the clinical front, following a portfolio review and evaluation of interim data from the LORIKEET study, we have decided not to pursue further development of lorigerlimab in prostate cancer. Despite this decision, we remain committed to exploring lorigerlimab’s potential in ovarian and other gynecologic cancers and continue to enroll patients in the Phase 2 LINNET study. We also continue to advance our three other ADC programs and recently initiated two Phase 1 expansion cohorts for the MGC026 program."

"Our team continues to be laser-focused on building shareholder value by advancing treatment options that have transformative potential for patients. We look forward to continuing to deliver on our strategic priorities to position the company for success in 2026 and beyond," Mr. Risser concluded.

Key Strategic Priorities for 2025 and 2026

Determine development path for lorigerlimab.
Advance portfolio of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), including MGC026, MGC028, and MGC030.
Initiate Investigational New Drug (IND)-enabling studies for two new product candidates.
Forge partnerships and collaborations to accelerate development of MacroGenics’ proprietary product candidates and platforms.
Strengthen MacroGenics’ financial position through a combination of enhanced operational efficiency, collaboration revenue, and monetization of assets.
Recent Highlights in Advancing MacroGenics’ Strategic Priorities

Determine Development Path for Lorigerlimab
As MacroGenics assesses how best to invest its resources across its product portfolio, the Company has decided to not pursue further development of lorigerlimab (a bispecific, tetravalent PD-1 × CTLA-4 DART molecule) in combination with docetaxel and prednisone for the treatment of second-line metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). MacroGenics will continue the ongoing LINNET Phase 2 monotherapy study of lorigerlimab in patients with either platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC) or clear cell gynecologic cancer (CCGC).

LORIKEET Study. The Company determined not to pursue further development of lorigerlimab in second-line mCRPC based on interim data from the Phase 2 LORIKEET trial, a 150-patient randomized study evaluating lorigerlimab in combination with docetaxel and prednisone vs. docetaxel and prednisone in second-line, chemotherapy-naïve patients with mCRPC. Based on review of study data with an October 17, 2025 data cut-off, the Company determined that the experimental treatment arm will not reach the study’s primary goal of showing an improvement in rPFS vs. that of the control arm for the targeted patient population. The Company intends to present or publish the final LORIKEET data at a future date.

LINNET Study. MacroGenics continues the ongoing LINNET study, a Phase 2 monotherapy trial evaluating lorigerlimab in patients with either PROC or CCGC. The Company believes lorigerlimab can be a differentiated treatment option for patients with gynecologic cancers and could be complementary with some of the emerging therapies being developed for this patient population. The Company continues to enroll patients in the LINNET study and currently expects to provide a clinical update on the first part of the two-stage trial by mid-2026.
Advance Innovative ADC Pipeline
MacroGenics is developing three ADCs that each incorporate a novel, glycan-linked topoisomerase 1 inhibitor (TOP1i)-based payload developed by the Company’s collaboration partner, Synaffix (a Lonza company).

MGC026 targets B7-H3, an antigen with broad expression across multiple solid tumors and a member of the B7 family of molecules involved in immune regulation. The Company recently completed Phase 1 dose escalation and initiated dose expansion in two solid tumor indications.

MGC028 targets ADAM9, a member of the ADAM family of multifunctional type 1 transmembrane proteins that play a role in tumorigenesis and cancer progression and is overexpressed in multiple cancers. MGC028 is currently being evaluated in a Phase 1 dose escalation study in patients with advanced solid tumors.

MGC030 is a preclinical ADC that targets an undisclosed antigen expressed across several solid tumors. An IND application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for MGC030 is planned for 2026.
Forge Partnerships & Strengthen MacroGenics’ Financial Position

Gilead. In November 2025, Gilead licensed an additional MacroGenics preclinical program under a 2022 collaboration agreement, triggering a $25 million payment to MacroGenics. The licensed program leverages the Company’s novel, proprietary platform with the goal of improving upon the safety and efficacy of traditional T-cell engagers. Under this collaboration, MacroGenics and Gilead are now advancing three programs, including MGD024, a clinical-stage CD123 × CD3 bispecific DART molecule, a preclinical TRIDENT program and this latest preclinical DART program. The Company remains eligible to receive up to $1.6 billion in future milestones as well as royalties related to these three product candidates.

Sanofi. Sanofi continues to advance TZIELD (teplizumab-mzwv), an antibody targeting CD3 that the Company sold in 2018 to a partner that was subsequently acquired by Sanofi S.A. (Sanofi). In August and September 2025, TZIELD was approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the United Kingdom and by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) in China, respectively, triggering total milestone payments of $50 million, which are expected to be received during the fourth quarter. In October 2025, Sanofi announced that TZIELD had been accepted for expedited review in the U.S. for stage 3 type 1 diabetes through the FDA Commissioner’s National Priority Voucher pilot program. MacroGenics remains eligible to receive up to $330 million in additional milestones related to TZIELD.
Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Cash Position: Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance as of September 30, 2025, was $146.4 million, compared to $201.7 million as of December 31, 2024. The cash balance as of September 30, 2025, does not include the $50.0 million from Sanofi or the $25.0 million from Gilead, which are expected to be received by year-end 2025.
Revenue: Total revenue was $72.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to $110.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. Total revenue included contract manufacturing revenue of $19.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to $4.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, reflecting increased third-party production in 2025. Collaboration revenue was $53.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to $101.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The difference was due to $100.0 million recognized from milestones under the Incyte License Agreement in 2024 compared to $50.0 million recognized from milestones under the Provention (Sanofi) Asset Purchase Agreement in 2025.
R&D Expenses: Research and development expenses were $32.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to $40.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to discontinued internal development of the vobra duo program, decreased IND-enabling costs for MGC028 and decreased costs related to margetuximab.
Cost of Manufacturing Services: Cost of manufacturing services was $11.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to $1.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
SG&A Expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses were $9.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to $14.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower stock-based compensation expense and cessation of MARGENZA (margetuximab-cmkb) commercialization activities.
Net Income: Net Income was $16.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to net income of $56.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
