Q1 2026 earnings summary5 May, 2026

Executive summary

  • Full ownership and advancement of casdatifan as a foundational therapy in clear cell RCC, with plans for first HIF-2a inhibitor-based, TKI-free regimen in first-line setting by year-end 2026 and expansion into inflammation and immunology.

  • Robust late-stage oncology and emerging immunology portfolio, including two Phase 3 oncology programs (casdatifan and quemliclustat) and multiple first-in-human immunology assets (AB102, TNF inhibitor, CCR6 antagonist) entering the clinic by 2027.

  • Discontinued Phase 3 STAR-121 study for domvanalimab in NSCLC after futility analysis, with wind-down of anti-TIGIT program.

  • Gilead's option rights to new programs expire July 2026, limiting future collaboration scope.

  • Net loss for Q1 2026 was $128 million, with no product sales revenue and all revenue from collaborations.

Financial highlights

  • Q1 2026 GAAP revenue was $17 million, primarily from collaboration agreements, down 39% year-over-year.

  • Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaled $876 million as of March 31, 2026, with a runway into the second half of 2028 and projected year-end 2026 cash of ~$600 million.

  • R&D expenses for Q1 2026 were $122 million; G&A expenses were $29 million, with non-cash stock-based compensation of $19 million.

  • Net loss per share was $1.02 (basic and diluted), with 125.5 million shares outstanding at quarter-end.

  • Full-year 2026 GAAP revenue expected to be $50–$65 million.

Outlook and guidance

  • Cash runway expected to fund operations until at least the second half of 2028, with no anticipated need for additional financing before then.

  • R&D expenses projected to decline near-term as domvanalimab studies wind down, partially offset by increased investment in casdatifan and immunology programs.

  • Multiple late-stage clinical trial milestones expected: PEAK-1 Phase III for casdatifan to complete enrollment by year-end 2026, first-line Phase III to begin by year-end, and PRISM-1 Phase III for quemliclustat fully enrolled with results expected in H1 2027.

  • AB102 to enter clinic in Q3 2026, with proof-of-concept data anticipated in early 2027; TNF inhibitor and CCR6 antagonist to enter clinic in 2027.

  • No impact on financial guidance or runway from current clinical development plans.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
