## Cross-quarter narrative

From 2014 to 2025, XOMA transitioned from a clinical-stage biotech advancing gevokizumab in Behçet's uveitis (EYEGUARD program) to a royalty-focused company (XOMA Royalty) with a diversified portfolio. Early calls (2014 Q3–2015 Q1) centered on EYEGUARD-B data readouts, BLA preparation, and a ~12-month cash runway. In mid-2015, after EYEGUARD failure, management pivoted to endocrinology (XOMA 358, 213, 129), monetized non-core assets for $50.5M, cut headcount ~50%, and extended runway to Q1 2017. By 2016 Q4, the strategy shifted to a royalty/milestone model with >50% cost cuts, a $25M BVF investment, debt reduction, and plans to out-license XOMA 358. The 2025 Q4 call reflects the matured royalty model: strong growth, positive cash flow, and a portfolio including VABYSMO, OJEMDA, and MIPLYFFA. However, clinical setbacks (Rezolute, Gossamer Phase III failures), ongoing TREMFYA litigation, product concentration, and reliance on Blue Owl financing remain key risks. The arc shows a deliberate, multi-year transformation from single-asset clinical risk to diversified royalty income, with evolving but persistent clinical and financial uncertainties.','theme_arcs': [{"theme": "Pipeline focus", "direction": "new", "note": "Shifted from gevokizumab (immunology) to endocrine assets (XOMA 358, 213, 129) to royalty portfolio (VABYSMO, OJEMDA, MIPLYFFA, etc.)"}, {"theme": "Business model", "direction": "new", "note": "Evolved from proprietary drug development to royalty/milestone model with partner-funded portfolio"}, {"theme": "Cash runway and funding", "direction": "improving", "note": "From ~12 months (2014) to 6 months (2015 Q2) to Q1 2017 (2015 Q3) to cash flow positivity aim (2016 Q4) to positive cash flow (2025)"},

## Latest CallCard · Q4

XOMA Royalty reports strong 2025 growth, positive cash flow and portfolio expansion, while noting clinical setbacks, ongoing TREMFYA litigation and reliance on future royalty growth.

**Guidance:** vague — Management declined to give specific royalty receipt guidance, offering only qualitative optimism.

**Tone:** mgmt 0.7 · Q&A pressure 0.4 · divergence 0.3

Management highlighted approaching an inflection point where royalty receipts will cover operating costs, emphasizing portfolio breadth and disciplined capital allocation.

### Demand visibility

Moderate visibility; diversified portfolio provides multiple upcoming catalysts.

Upcoming catalysts include Rezolute results, volixibat VISTAS study, REC-4881 FDA engagement and continued growth from approved products like VABYSMO, OJEMDA and MIPLYFFA.

### Margins / costs

Margins improving as operating costs become covered by royalties.

Positive cash flow from operations achieved; G&A modestly up, enabling cash flow coverage of expenses and supporting share buybacks.

### Capital allocation

Balanced between new acquisitions and shareholder returns.

Deployed ~$25M to acquire royalty/milestone rights, $16M to repurchase ~5% of shares, returned $16M via buybacks, and added $11.7M nondilutive capital from acquisitions.

### Milestones

- **OJEMDA (Day One)** [on_track]: EU CHMP opinion received Feb 26 2026 and Japan submission triggered $2M milestone; early launch phase.
- **MIPLYFFA** [on_track]: Approved 2024, generating royalty receipts and showing strong Q4 2025 performance.
- **Rezolute ersodetug (tumor hyperinsulinism)** [at_risk]: Top‑line results expected in second half 2026; clinical risk after Phase III failure in congenital indication.
- **Rezolute congenital hyperinsulinism** [at_risk]: Phase III failed to meet statistical significance; extensive analysis ongoing.
- **Gossamer seralutinib** [at_risk]: Phase III primary endpoint missed; subgroup showed benefit, FDA meeting planned.
- **Volixibat VISTAS study (PSC)** [on_track]: Results expected Q2 2026.
- **REC-4881** [on_track]: Engaging FDA in first half 2026 to align on registrational study.
- **AZ TIGIT program** [on_track]: Data expected throughout 2026.

### Fears / risks

- **Clinical risk**: Recent Phase III failures for Rezolute and Gossamer could reduce future royalty streams.
- **Litigation risk**: TREMFYA breach claim outcome is uncertain, potentially impacting expected royalties.
- **Product concentration**: Royalty receipts heavily reliant on VABYSMO, OJEMDA and MIPLYFFA.
- **Capital structure**: Dependence on Blue Owl loan and preferred equity may affect financing flexibility.
- **Regulatory risk**: Pending approvals for volixibat, REC-4881 and other late‑stage assets could be delayed.
- **Execution risk**: Ability to source new deals while maintaining a flat equity base presents execution challenges.
- **Market risk**: Biotech market conditions could affect royalty revenue growth.
- **Platform out‑licensing risk**: Monetization of Generation Bio technologies is uncertain and may not generate expected royalties.
