Michael S. Weiss, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are off to a strong start in 2026, with BRIUMVI performance exceeding expectations and momentum continuing to build. Growth is being driven by strong underlying demand, record new patient starts, and consistent commercial execution— reinforcing our belief that we remain early in the adoption curve for BRIUMVI. Based on this performance, we are significantly increasing our full-year U.S. BRIUMVI revenue guidance to $885-900 million and continue to see the brand as having a multi-billion-dollar potential before considering the impact of a subcutaneous BRIUMVI currently under development. With multiple near-term clinical catalysts and ongoing efforts to expand the franchise, we believe BRIUMVI is well-positioned to become a leading therapy in MS and a durable, long-term growth driver for TG."

Financial Results for First Quarter 2026

Product Revenue, net: Product revenue, net was $201.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $119.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Product revenue, net consists primarily of net product sales of BRIUMVI in the United States, which totaled $194.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Also included in product revenue, net for the three months ended March 31, 2026 is sales of BRIUMVI to our ex-U.S. licensing partner, Neuraxpharm, of $6.5 million.
License, milestone, royalty and other revenue: License, milestone, royalty and other revenue was approximately $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. License, milestone, royalty and other revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 is predominantly comprised of $2.7 million of royalty revenue recognized under the Commercialization Agreement with Neuraxpharm and $0.9 million of consideration received for development and regulatory activities performed on behalf of Neuraxpharm in accordance with the Commercialization Agreement.
R&D Expenses: Total research and development (R&D) expense was approximately $48.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $46.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in R&D expense during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily attributable to license and milestone expense pertaining to our license agreement with Precision BioSciences, Inc., as well as increased clinical trial related expenses and increased personnel costs during the period ended March 31, 2026. These increases were partially offset by lower manufacturing and development costs in connection with our subcutaneous ublituximab development work incurred during the period ended March 31, 2026.
SG&A Expenses: Total selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense was approximately $88.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $50.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in selling, general and administrative costs during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily due to an increase in marketing and media spend, and personnel and external costs associated with the commercialization of BRIUMVI.
Net income: Net income was $19.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to net income of $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Cash Position and Financial Guidance: Cash, cash equivalents and investment securities were $572.8 million as of March 31, 2026. We anticipate that our cash, cash equivalents and investment securities as of March 31, 2026, combined with the projected revenues from BRIUMVI, will be sufficient to fund our business based on our current operating plan.

ABOUT BRIUMVI (ublituximab-xiiy) 150 mg/6 mL Injection for IV
BRIUMVI is a novel monoclonal antibody that targets a unique epitope on CD20-expressing B-cells. Targeting CD20 using monoclonal antibodies has proven to be an important therapeutic approach for the management of autoimmune disorders, such as RMS. BRIUMVI is uniquely designed to lack certain sugar molecules normally expressed on the antibody. Removal of these sugar molecules, a process called glycoengineering, allows for efficient B-cell depletion at low doses.

BRIUMVI is indicated in the U.S. for the treatment of adults with RMS, including clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting disease, and active secondary progressive disease and in several countries outside of the U.S. for the treatment of adult patients with RMS with active disease defined by clinical or imaging features.

A list of authorized specialty distributors can be found at www.briumvi.com.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Contraindications: BRIUMVI is contraindicated in patients with:

Active Hepatitis B Virus infection
A history of life-threatening infusion reaction to BRIUMVI
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Infusion Reactions: BRIUMVI can cause infusion reactions, which can include pyrexia, chills, headache, influenza-like illness, tachycardia, nausea, throat irritation, erythema, and an anaphylactic reaction. In MS clinical trials, the incidence of infusion reactions in BRIUMVI-treated patients who received infusion reaction-limiting premedication prior to each infusion was 48%, with the highest incidence within 24 hours of the first infusion. 0.6% of BRIUMVI-treated patients experienced infusion reactions that were serious, some requiring hospitalization.

Observe treated patients for infusion reactions during the infusion and for at least one hour after the completion of the first two infusions unless infusion reaction and/or hypersensitivity has been observed in association with the current or any prior infusion. Inform patients that infusion reactions can occur up to 24 hours after the infusion. Administer the recommended pre-medication to reduce the frequency and severity of infusion reactions. If life-threatening, stop the infusion immediately, permanently discontinue BRIUMVI, and administer appropriate supportive treatment. Less severe infusion reactions may involve temporarily stopping the infusion, reducing the infusion rate, and/or administering symptomatic treatment.

Infections: Serious, life-threatening or fatal, bacterial and viral infections have been reported in BRIUMVI-treated patients. In MS clinical trials, the overall rate of infections in BRIUMVI-treated patients was 56% compared to 54% in teriflunomide-treated patients. The rate of serious infections was 5% compared to 3% respectively. There were 3 infection-related deaths in BRIUMVI-treated patients. The most common infections in BRIUMVI-treated patients included upper respiratory tract infection (45%) and urinary tract infection (10%). Delay BRIUMVI administration in patients with an active infection until the infection is resolved.

Consider the potential for increased immunosuppressive effects when initiating BRIUMVI after immunosuppressive therapy or initiating an immunosuppressive therapy after BRIUMVI.

Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Reactivation: HBV reactivation occurred in an MS patient treated with BRIUMVI in clinical trials. Fulminant hepatitis, hepatic failure, and death caused by HBV reactivation have occurred in patients treated with anti-CD20 antibodies. Perform HBV screening in all patients before initiation of treatment with BRIUMVI. Do not start treatment with BRIUMVI in patients with active HBV confirmed by positive results for HB surface antigen (HBsAg) and anti-HB tests. For patients who are negative for HBsAg and positive for HB core antibody [HBcAb+] or are carriers of HBV [HBsAg+], consult a liver disease expert before starting and during treatment.

Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML): PML is an opportunistic viral infection of the brain caused by the JC virus (JCV) that typically only occurs in patients who are immunocompromised, and that usually leads to death or severe disability. JCV infection resulting in PML has been observed in patients treated with anti-CD20 antibodies, including BRIUMVI, and other MS therapies.

If PML is suspected, withhold BRIUMVI and perform an appropriate diagnostic evaluation. Typical symptoms associated with PML are diverse, progress over days to weeks, and include progressive weakness on one side of the body or clumsiness of limbs, disturbance of vision, and changes in thinking, memory, and orientation leading to confusion and personality changes.

MRI findings may be apparent before clinical signs or symptoms; monitoring for signs consistent with PML may be useful. Further investigate suspicious findings to allow for an early diagnosis of PML, if present. Following discontinuation of another MS medication associated with PML, lower PML-related mortality and morbidity have been reported in patients who were initially asymptomatic at diagnosis compared to patients who had characteristic clinical signs and symptoms at diagnosis.

If PML is confirmed, treatment with BRIUMVI should be discontinued.

Vaccinations: Administer all immunizations according to immunization guidelines: for live or live-attenuated vaccines, at least 4 weeks and, whenever possible, at least 2 weeks prior to initiation of BRIUMVI for non-live vaccines. BRIUMVI may interfere with the effectiveness of non-live vaccines. The safety of immunization with live or live-attenuated vaccines during or following administration of BRIUMVI has not been studied. Vaccination with live virus vaccines is not recommended during treatment and until B-cell repletion.

Vaccination of Infants Born to Mothers Treated with BRIUMVI During Pregnancy: In infants of mothers exposed to BRIUMVI during pregnancy, assess B-cell counts prior to administration of live or live-attenuated vaccines as measured by CD19+ B-cells. Depletion of B-cells in these infants may increase the risks from live or live-attenuated vaccines. Inactivated or non-live vaccines may be administered prior to B-cell recovery. Assessment of vaccine immune responses, including consultation with a qualified specialist, should be considered to determine whether a protective immune response was mounted.

Fetal Risk: Based on data from animal studies, BRIUMVI may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Transient peripheral B-cell depletion and lymphocytopenia have been reported in infants born to mothers exposed to other anti-CD20 B-cell depleting antibodies during pregnancy. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during BRIUMVI treatment and for 6 months after the last dose.

Reduction in Immunoglobulins: As expected with any B-cell depleting therapy, decreased immunoglobulin levels were observed. Decrease in immunoglobulin M (IgM) was reported in 0.6% of BRIUMVI-treated patients compared to none of the patients treated with teriflunomide in RMS clinical trials. Monitor the levels of quantitative serum immunoglobulins during treatment, especially in patients with opportunistic or recurrent infections, and after discontinuation of therapy, until B-cell repletion. Consider discontinuing BRIUMVI therapy if a patient with low immunoglobulins develops a serious opportunistic infection or recurrent infections, or if prolonged hypogammaglobulinemia requires treatment with intravenous immunoglobulins.

Liver Injury: Clinically significant liver injury, without findings of viral hepatitis, has been reported in the postmarketing setting in patients treated with anti-CD20 B-cell depleting therapies approved for the treatment of MS, including BRIUMVI. Signs of liver injury, including markedly elevated serum hepatic enzymes with elevated total bilirubin, have occurred from weeks to months after administration.

Patients treated with BRIUMVI found to have an alanine aminotransaminase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) greater than 3x the upper limit of normal (ULN) with serum total bilirubin greater than 2x ULN are potentially at risk for severe drug-induced liver injury.

Obtain liver function tests prior to initiating treatment with BRIUMVI, and monitor for signs and symptoms of any hepatic injury during treatment. Measure serum aminotransferases, alkaline phosphatase, and bilirubin levels promptly in patients who report symptoms that may indicate liver injury, including new or worsening fatigue, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, right upper abdominal discomfort, dark urine, or jaundice. If liver injury is present and an alternative etiology is not identified, discontinue BRIUMVI.

Most Common Adverse Reactions: The most common adverse reactions in RMS trials (incidence of at least 10%) were infusion reactions and upper respiratory tract infections.

Physicians, pharmacists, or other healthcare professionals with questions about BRIUMVI should visit www.briumvi.com.

BRIUMVI Patient Support is a flexible program designed by TG Therapeutics to support U.S. patients through their treatment journey in a way that works best for them. More information about the BRIUMVI Patient Support program can be accessed at www.briumvipatientsupport.com.

ABOUT MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
Relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) is a chronic demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) and includes people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) and people with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS) who continue to experience relapses. RRMS is the most common form of multiple sclerosis (MS) and is characterized by episodes of new or worsening signs or symptoms (relapses) followed by periods of recovery. It is estimated that nearly 1 million people are living with MS in the United States and approximately 85% are initially diagnosed with RRMS.1,2 The majority of people who are diagnosed with RRMS will eventually transition to SPMS, in which they experience steadily worsening disability over time. Worldwide, more than 2.3 million people have a diagnosis of MS.

Tempest Presents Clinical Update at ISCT 2026 Annual Meeting

On May 6, 2026 Tempest Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: TPST) ("Tempest") reported its most recent clinical data from its lead dual-targeting chimeric antigen receptor T-cell ("CAR-T") therapy product candidate, TPST-2003, at the International Society for Cell & Gene Therapy ("ISCT") Scientific Annual Meeting in Dublin, Ireland. Updates include the latest data from the ongoing REDEEM-1 Phase 1/2a trial evaluating TPST-2003, as well as progress in Tempest’s other dual-targeting CAR-T pipeline programs.

Earlier this year, Tempest announced positive interim data from REDEEM-1, including a 100% complete response ("CR") rate among all six efficacy then-evaluable patients according to the International Myeloma Working Group ("IMWG") uniform response criteria, as well as a favorable safety profile. Today’s clinical update more than doubles the previous dataset, achieving a 100% CR rate among all 15 CAR-T-naïve efficacy evaluable patients across two ongoing Phase 1 trials – REDEEM-1 evaluating TPST-2003 in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma ("rrMM") (10/10 according to the IMWG uniform response criteria) and POEMS-1 evaluating TPST-2003 in POEMS syndrome (5/5 CRVEGF).

To date, a total of 44 patients have received one infusion of TPST-2003, including 24 patients in a prior Phase 1/2 investigator-initiated trial ("IIT") evaluating TPST-2003 in rrMM, 13 patients in the ongoing REDEEM-1 trial, and seven patients in the ongoing POEMS-1 trial, representing one of the largest datasets evaluating a CD19/BCMA dual-targeting CAR-T therapy.

All 10 CAR-T-naïve patients currently evaluable for efficacy in the REDEEM-1 trial – three treated at dose level 1 (1 x 106 cells/kg), three at dose level 2 (2 x 106 cells/kg), and four at dose level 3 (3 x 106 cells/kg) – achieved a CR according to the IMWG uniform response criteria. A single patient, who had previously received a BCMA-targeting CAR-T, did not respond. Among 29 CAR-T-naïve evaluable patients with measurable disease at baseline across REDEEM-1 and the prior Phase 1/2 IIT, including 18 patients with EMD, the overall response rate ("ORR") was 100% (29/29) according to the IMWG uniform response criteria.

In the POEMS-1 trial, as of the January 31, 2026 data cutoff, all five evaluable patients had achieved a CRVEGF within two months of being administered TPST-2003. No dose-limiting toxicities were observed in any of the treated patients.

"The results that we are presenting at ISCT this week support our belief that TPST-2003 could offer a life-saving option for patients with rrMM, and, if approved, may outperform first-generation single-targeting CAR-T therapies, in particular in patients with EMD" said Dr. Matt Angel, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tempest. "We are excited by the potential to offer patients who have relapsed from multiple prior lines of therapy a treatment that may achieve up to complete remission of their cancer."

The observed safety profile (no Grade >3 CRS or ICANS), together with the consistency of responses observed in the REDEEM-1 trial continue to support Tempest’s plan to pursue its objective of meeting with the FDA to discuss initiating a U.S. registrational study later this year.

Portfolio Receipts
$3,325 million to $3,450 million
$3,275 million to $3,425 million
Payments for operating and professional costs
5.5% to 6.5% of Portfolio Receipts
5.5% to 6.5% of Portfolio Receipts

Portfolio Receipts is defined as the sum of Royalty Receipts and Milestones and other contractual receipts. The above Portfolio Receipts guidance provided on May 6, 2026 includes expected Royalty Receipts growth of 4% to 8% in 2026.
Royalty Pharma’s full year 2026 guidance reflects an estimated foreign exchange impact of approximately +1% to Portfolio Receipts, assuming current foreign exchange rates prevail for the rest of 2026.
Payments for operating and professional costs in 2026 are expected to decrease as a percentage of Portfolio Receipts, compared to 8.9% in 2025, primarily due to extinguishment of the management fee following the completion of the internalization transaction on May 16, 2025.
Total interest paid is based on the semi-annual interest payment schedule of Royalty Pharma’s existing notes and the quarterly interest payment schedule for the term loan assumed as part of the internalization transaction. In 2026, Royalty Pharma anticipates interest paid to be approximately $350 million to $360 million.(5) Interest paid in the third quarter of 2026 is anticipated to be approximately $175 million. De minimis amounts are anticipated in the second and fourth quarters of 2026. These projections assume no additional debt financing in 2026, including no drawdown on the revolving credit facility. In the first quarter of 2026, Royalty Pharma collected interest of $6 million on its cash and cash equivalents, which partially offset interest paid.
Royalty Pharma today provides this guidance based on its most up-to-date view of its prospects. This guidance assumes no major unforeseen adverse events or changes in foreign exchange rates and excludes the contributions from transactions announced subsequent to the date of this press release.

Revolution Medicines Announces Publication in New England Journal of Medicine of Phase 1/2 Clinical Data on Daraxonrasib in Pancreatic Cancer

On May 6, 2026 Revolution Medicines, a late-stage clinical oncology company developing targeted therapies for patients with RAS-addicted cancers, reported that The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) has published a report describing data from the Phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating daraxonrasib, a RAS(ON) multi-selective inhibitor, in patients with previously treated metastatic RAS mutant pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The promising Phase 1/2 findings provided important insights supporting initiation of the company’s global, randomized Phase 3 registrational trial, RASolute 302. Revolution Medicines recently announced positive topline results from the RASolute 302 clinical trial showing an unprecedented overall survival benefit with daraxonrasib compared to standard of care cytotoxic chemotherapy, consistent with the Phase 1/2 single-arm observations.

"RAS mutations are a central driver of disease across multiple solid tumors, including particularly pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. There is significant room for improvement in outcomes over current standard of care — cytotoxic chemotherapies that are not targeted to these underlying RAS cancer drivers," said Alan Sandler, M.D., chief development officer of Revolution Medicines. "Data from the Phase 1/2 trial show that daraxonrasib demonstrated promising clinical antitumor activity and durable responses, with an acceptable safety and tolerability profile, in patients with previously treated metastatic RAS mutant PDAC. These results, along with those from our Phase 3 trial, RASolute 302, strengthen our confidence in daraxonrasib’s potential to establish an important new treatment option for patients with pancreatic cancer and other RAS-addicted cancers."

The data published in NEJM reflect outcomes in the PDAC cohort from the RMC-6236-001 trial (NCT05379985), an open-label, multicenter Phase 1/2 trial evaluating daraxonrasib monotherapy in patients previously treated for metastatic solid tumors harboring RAS mutations.

In addition to RASolute 302, daraxonrasib is being evaluated in three other global Phase 3 registrational trials, including in patients with PDAC in earlier treatment lines and those with metastatic RAS mutant non-small cell lung cancer.

About Pancreatic Cancer and Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal malignancies, characterized by its typically late-stage diagnosis, resistance to standard chemotherapy, and high mortality rate. In the U.S., recent estimates indicate that annually approximately 60,000 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and about 50,000 people will die from this aggressive disease.1

Due to the lack of early symptoms and detection methods, approximately 80% of patients are diagnosed with PDAC at an advanced or metastatic stage. It is the most common RAS-addicted malignancy of all major cancers, and more than 90% of patients have tumors that harbor RAS mutations.2 Metastatic PDAC remains one of the most common causes of cancer-related deaths in the U.S., with a five-year survival rate of approximately 3%.3,4

About Daraxonrasib
Daraxonrasib is an investigational, oral RAS(ON) multi-selective, non-covalent inhibitor that is not approved by any regulatory authority, including in the United States or Europe. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted daraxonrasib Breakthrough Therapy Designation and Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) harboring G12 mutations. In addition, daraxonrasib was selected for the FDA Commissioner’s National Priority Voucher pilot program, which is intended to accelerate the development and review of therapies aligned with U.S. national health priorities.

Daraxonrasib is designed to target cancers driven by a broad range of common RAS mutations, including PDAC, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and colorectal cancer. In addition to the RASolute 302 trial, daraxonrasib is being evaluated in three other global Phase 3 registrational trials, including in patients with PDAC and metastatic RAS mutant NSCLC.

Daraxonrasib works by suppressing RAS signaling through inhibition of the interaction between both wild-type and mutant RAS(ON) proteins and their downstream effectors.
