Third Quarter and Year to Date 2025 Financial Results

Tom Burns, Chief Financial Officer of XOMA Royalty, commented, "In the first nine months of 2025, we have received $43.9 million in cash from partners, of which $30.3 million were royalty payments related to commercial sales and $13.6 million in milestone payments and fees. In the third quarter, we received $14.3 million in cash from our partners’ commercial sales. With well-executed commercialization efforts by our partners and the emergence of new commercial opportunities from within our portfolio, XOMA Royalty has the potential to become a self-sustaining entity from royalties alone over the near term."

Income and Revenue: Income and revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, were $9.4 million and $38.4 million, respectively, as compared with $7.2 million and $19.8 million for the corresponding periods of 2024. The increase in both periods presented was primarily driven by increased income related to VABYSMO and OJEMDA.

Research and Development (R&D) Expenses: R&D expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, were $69 thousand and $1.4 million, respectively, compared with $0.8 million and $2.0 million for each of the corresponding periods of 2024. R&D expenses in the first quarter of 2025 and the three- and nine-month periods of 2024 were related to the clinical trial costs incurred subsequent to XOMA Royalty’s acquisition of Kinnate in April 2024 related to KIN-3248 and the associated wind-down activities.

General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses: G&A expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, were $9.7 million and $25.7 million, respectively, as compared with $8.0 million and $27.5 million for the corresponding periods of 2024. The increase of $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily due to an increase in business development and deal-related costs, partially offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the decrease of $1.8 million, as compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily due to costs related to exit packages for Kinnate senior leadership in the second quarter of 2024 and a decrease in stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by an increase in business development and deal-related costs.

XOMA Royalty’s G&A expenses included non-cash stock-based compensation expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, of $1.8 million and $5.4 million, respectively, as compared to $2.6 million and $8.1 million for the corresponding periods of 2024. The 2024 periods reflect non-cash stock-based compensation related to the appointment of Mr. Hughes to full-time Chief Executive Officer and issuance of performance stock units.

Credit Losses on Purchased Receivables: During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, XOMA Royalty recorded one-time, non-cash credit losses on purchased receivables associated with the Aronora and Agenus assets. To date, there have been no credit losses in 2025.

Amortization of Intangible Assets: Amortization of intangible assets relates to the IP acquired in the Company’s acquisitions of Pulmokine in November 2024 and the mezagitamab economics from the BioInvent transaction in May 2025. Amortization of non-cash intangible assets were $0.9 million and $2.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Gains on Acquisitions: In the third quarter of 2025, XOMA Royalty recorded gains on acquisitions of $17.9 million for HilleVax and $1.8 million for Turnstone.

Interest Expense: For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, interest expense was $3.3 million and $10.0 million, respectively, as compared with $3.5 million and $10.4 million for the corresponding periods of 2024. Interest expense relates to the Blue Owl Loan established in December 2023.

Other Income, net: For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, other income, net was $0.7 million and $8.5 million, respectively, as compared with $1.9 million and $5.9 million for the corresponding periods of 2024.

Net Income: XOMA Royalty reported net income of $14.1 million and $25.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to net losses of $17.2 million and $9.9 million in the corresponding periods of 2024.

Cash Position: On September 30, 2025, XOMA Royalty had cash and cash equivalents of $130.6 million, including $85.4 million in restricted cash. The restricted cash balance included $43.3 million related to the assumed HilleVax lease, $39.9 million reserved to fund the Mural acquisition, and $2.2 million related to the Blue Owl Loan. Cash and cash equivalents of $106.4 million as of December 31, 2024, included $4.8 million in restricted cash related to the Blue Owl Loan.

In the third quarter of 2025, XOMA Royalty received $14.3 million in cash receipts from royalties and commercial payments and paid $1.4 million in dividends on the XOMA Royalty Perpetual Preferred stocks. In the first nine months of 2025, XOMA Royalty received $43.9 million in cash receipts, including $30.3 million in royalties and commercial payments and $13.6 million in milestone payments and fees. During the first nine months of 2025, XOMA Royalty deployed $25.0 million to acquire additional assets for its royalty and milestone portfolio, repurchased approximately 108,510 shares of its common stock for a cost of $2.4 million, and paid $4.1 million in dividends on the XOMA Royalty Perpetual Preferred stocks.

"Following a productive meeting with the FDA, we now have a clearly defined pivotal trial design for TSC-101, and we also have an improved commercial-ready manufacturing process in place. We are focused on advancing this promising program for patients with AML and MDS and look forward to sharing updated results from the ALLOHA Phase 1 trial at ASH (Free ASH Whitepaper) next month," said Gavin MacBeath, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer. "After infusing the first two patients with multiplex TCR-T in our PLEXI-T trial, we have now paused further enrollment to focus on preclinical development of in vivo engineering to treat patients with solid tumors. We believe this approach represents a promising and more cost-efficient way to deliver off-the-shelf, multiplexed TCR-T cells."

Recent Corporate Highlights

•
The Company recently announced that it has reached agreement with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding its pivotal trial design for TSC-101. The FDA has agreed to a study design that mirrors the current ALLOHA Phase 1 trial (NCT05473910) using a biologically-assigned internal control arm. TScan believes the design of the pivotal trial, which is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2026, will enable efficient enrollment and streamlined assessment of study endpoints.

In addition, the Company announced that it has implemented a commercial-ready manufacturing process that shortens manufacturing time by five days, both lowering the associated cost of goods and reducing the extent of ex vivo T cell expansion. An initial technology transfer of this process to an external contract development and manufacturing organization has been completed. The commercial-ready process will be used in the ongoing Phase 1 as well as future pivotal study.

•
In early November, the Company made the strategic decision to prioritize the clinical development of its heme program and pause further enrollment in its solid tumor Phase 1 trial, while focusing its preclinical efforts on in vivo engineering for solid tumors and target discovery in autoimmunity. As a result of these actions, the Company’s existing cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities are now expected to fund its current operating plan into the second half of 2027.

•
In October, the Company presented at the American College of Rheumatology Convergence 2025 where the Company highlighted the potential application of its proprietary TargetScan technology to identify novel targets in T cell-driven autoimmune disorders, including ankylosing spondylitis, scleroderma, and ulcerative colitis. The presentation materials can be found on the Publications tab of the Company’s website at www.tscan.com.

"We remain highly encouraged by the continued, strong execution across our programs and the expanding body of clinical and preclinical data reinforcing the strength of our AML-focused pipeline," said Angelos Stergiou, MD, ScD h.c., President and Chief Executive Officer of SELLAS. "The Phase 3 REGAL trial of GPS is advancing as planned as highlighted by the key opinion leaders at our recent R&D event. Momentum around SLS009 also continues to build—our positive Phase 2 data were accepted for presentation at the upcoming ASH (Free ASH Whitepaper) Annual Meeting, and we recently presented preclinical results at ESMO (Free ESMO Whitepaper) demonstrating clear survival benefits in T-PLL."

Dr. Stergiou continued, "Our recent R&D Day was a resounding success and provided an excellent opportunity to share program updates and hear directly from leading experts who expressed genuine enthusiasm for both GPS and SLS009. These achievements highlight the breadth and promise of our pipeline and underscore the complementary potential of our two programs to meaningfully improve outcomes for patients with AML and other hematologic cancers. With a strong financial foundation following the recent warrant exercises and multiple catalysts ahead, we believe SELLAS is entering a transformative period of growth and value creation."

Recent Corporate Highlights:

Phase 3 REGAL Trial of GPS: Following the positive IDMC recommendation announced in August to continue the trial without modification, the Phase 3 REGAL trial of GPS in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have achieved complete remission following second-line salvage therapy (CR2) remains on track and continues to execute as planned. The final analysis will be conducted once 80 events (deaths) are reached and is anticipated by year-end 2025. Because the final analysis is event driven, it is difficult to predict with any certainty and it may occur at a different time than currently expected.

Phase 2 SLS009 (Selective CDK9 Inhibitor) in R/R AML: Following the positive results from the Phase 2 study of SLS009 announced in July, data from the ongoing trial evaluating SLS009 in combination with azacitidine (AZA) and venetoclax (VEN) for the treatment of relapsed or refractory (r/r) AML have been accepted for presentation at the upcoming 67th American Society of Hematology (ASH) (Free ASH Whitepaper) Annual Meeting and Exposition, taking place December 6–9, 2025, in Orlando, Florida. The Company continues to advance plans for an 80-patient trial in newly diagnosed AML patients as well as those who become refractory early to AZA/VEN treatment, with enrollment expected to begin in the first quarter of 2026.

Preclinical Data on SLS009 in T-PLL Presented at ESMO (Free ESMO Whitepaper) 2025: In October 2025, preclinical data demonstrating statistically significant survival benefit of SLS009 were presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) (Free ESMO Whitepaper) Congress in Berlin, Germany. The results showed that SLS009, as a monotherapy and in combination with VEN, significantly prolonged survival compared to VEN alone in an in vivo patient-derived xenograft model of T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL). These findings further support the therapeutic potential of SLS009 to improve outcomes across multiple hematologic malignancies.

Virtual R&D Day on Advancing Novel Therapies in AML: On October 29, 2025, SELLAS hosted a virtual R&D Day on "Advancing Novel Therapies in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)" featuring key opinion leaders and Company management. The event provided a detailed review of the Company’s ongoing Phase 3 REGAL trial of GPS and the SLS009 program, underscoring each therapy’s potential to address multiple stages of disease progression along the AML treatment continuum. To access a replay of the R&D Day, please click here.

Received $54.6 Million in Gross Proceeds from Warrant Exercises: In September and October 2025, SELLAS received a total of approximately $54.6 million in gross proceeds from the immediate exercise of existing warrants, including $23.6 million from warrants issued in January 2025 and $31.0 million from warrants issued in March and August 2024.

Financial Results for the Third Quarter 2025:

R&D Expenses: Research and development expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 were $4.2 million compared to $4.4 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in clinical trial expenses and clinical and regulatory consulting costs. Research and development expenses were $11.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $14.7 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in clinical trial expenses, manufacturing costs and clinical drug supply purchases, and clinical and regulatory consulting costs, which were primarily driven by the completion of enrollment in the REGAL study in the first quarter of 2024.

G&A Expenses: General and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2025 were $2.9 million compared to $3.0 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in professional fees partially offset by an increase in personnel related expenses, including non-cash stock-based compensation. General and administrative expenses were $8.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $9.9 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in personnel related expenses driven by the initial recognition of a one-time severance charge in the prior period.
