Gossamer Bio Announces Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results and Provides Business Update

Key Terms

nda regulatory

An NDA, or nondisclosure agreement, is a legal contract that keeps certain information private between parties. It’s like a promise not to share sensitive details, helping protect business ideas, strategies, or data from being leaked or used without permission. For investors, NDAs help ensure that confidential information remains secure, enabling trust and open communication during business discussions.

pre-nda type b meeting regulatory

A pre-NDA Type B meeting is a formal discussion between a drug sponsor and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration held before submitting a New Drug Application to seek feedback on whether the planned package of data and analyses will support approval. It matters to investors because the meeting can reveal potential gaps, clarify required studies or labeling expectations, and reduce the chance of a surprise rejection or delay—think of it as a dress rehearsal that improves the odds and timing of regulatory approval.

pdgfr medical

A PDGFR is a cell-surface protein that binds platelet-derived growth factors and tells cells to grow, divide, or move; there are two main types (alpha and beta) involved in tissue repair and development. It matters to investors because abnormalities in PDGFR activity are targets for drugs and diagnostics: drugs that block or alter PDGFR can become treatments for cancers or fibrotic diseases, affecting clinical trial results, regulatory decisions, patents, and market value.

convertible note exchange financial

A convertible note exchange is a transaction where holders of convertible notes — debt that can turn into equity — are offered new securities in place of their existing notes, such as shares, new notes, or amended terms. Think of it as swapping an IOU for a different IOU or for company stock. It matters to investors because it changes a company’s debt load, ownership mix and potential dilution, and can affect valuation and control stakes.

reverse stock split financial

A reverse stock split reduces a company's number of outstanding shares while raising the price per share proportionally, so the total value of each investor's holding is unchanged; a 1-for-10 split turns 100 shares worth $1 each into 10 shares worth $10 each. Companies often do this to regain compliance with an exchange's minimum price rule or to attract investors who avoid very low-priced stocks.

marketable securities financial

Marketable securities are financial assets — such as publicly traded stocks, bonds, and short-term government bills — that a company can quickly sell for cash at a known price. Investors watch them because they show how much ready cash a company can access without selling core operations, like keeping money in a highly liquid savings account versus being tied up in a house, and they affect short-term risk, financial flexibility, and balance-sheet strength.

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Gossamer Bio, Inc. (Nasdaq: GOSS) (the “Company” or “Gossamer”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of seralutinib for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD), today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, and provided a business update.

“We have worked hard to strengthen Gossamer and prepare the Company for what comes next,” said Faheem Hasnain, Chairman, Co-Founder, and CEO of Gossamer. “We completed a productive Pre-NDA Type B meeting with the FDA, received the official minutes and remain on track to submit our NDA for seralutinib in PAH in September. We also reacquired worldwide rights to seralutinib and completed a convertible note exchange that substantially reduced our debt. We are in a better position today, and our focus remains on the work required to move seralutinib forward.”

Seralutinib (GB002): Inhaled PDGFR, CSF1R and c-KIT Inhibitor

Regulatory Interactions: Pre-NDA Type B Meeting, Receipt of FDA Meeting Minutes and Planned NDA Submission

• The Company held a Pre-NDA Type B meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in mid-June 2026 and has since received the official meeting minutes. Based on those minutes, the FDA characterized the degree of statistical significance and the magnitude of the treatment effect observed in PROSERA as review issues rather than filing issues, and provided feedback on the format and content of the planned submission.
• On that basis, the Company intends to submit an NDA supported by one adequate and well-controlled study (Phase 3 PROSERA) plus confirmatory evidence (Phase 2 TORREY and supportive analyses) in September 2026. If accepted for filing, seralutinib could be eligible for an FDA approval decision in the third quarter of 2027.
• While the meeting minutes reflect FDA feedback as of the meeting date, the FDA’s ultimate determination on approvability will be made upon review of the complete NDA.

Reacquisition of Worldwide Commercial and Development Rights for Seralutinib from Chiesi

• Gossamer and Chiesi agreed to terminate their Collaboration and License Agreement, and Gossamer has reacquired worldwide development and commercial rights to seralutinib ahead of the planned NDA submission. The termination dissolves the prior U.S. 50/50 profit share and returns ex-U.S. rights to Gossamer, giving the Company full operational control of development, manufacturing, commercialization, pricing and lifecycle strategy across all geographies.
• The termination agreement required Chiesi to make a one-time $5 million payment to Gossamer, settling all outstanding and future obligations under the prior collaboration, including second quarter 2026 costs. Gossamer made no upfront cash payment to reacquire the rights.
• In exchange, Chiesi is entitled to a capped royalty on worldwide net sales of seralutinib, with no further royalty obligation once the cap is reached, as well as payments upon the achievement of specified regulatory and commercial milestones. As a result, Gossamer retains the substantial majority of seralutinib’s global economics versus its prior shared U.S. economics and ex-U.S. royalty.

Special Meeting: Approval of Proposals Related to Convertible Note Exchange and Reverse Stock Split

• At a special meeting held on July 14, 2026, Gossamer’s stockholders approved the proposals related to the previously completed exchange of its 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) and authorized the Board to effect a reverse stock split.
• Through the exchange, Gossamer exchanged approximately $181.1 million, or 90.5%, of the $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2027 Notes outstanding for approximately $65.2 million of new 7.50% Convertible Senior Secured First Lien Notes due 2030, together with equity securities and warrants, reducing the aggregate principal amount of the Company’s debt by approximately $115.9 million and the outstanding balance of the 2027 Notes to approximately $18.9 million.
• Additionally, Gossamer’s stockholders authorized the Board to effect a reverse stock split, with the timing and final ratio subject to Board approval.

Financial Results for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2026

• Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities: Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $57.0 million as of June 30, 2026. Gossamer expects the combination of current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund its operating and capital expenditures into the first quarter of 2027.
• Revenue from contracts with collaborators: For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, revenue associated with Gossamer's collaboration with Chiesi was $9.2 million, including $6.1 million of cost reimbursement revenue, compared to $11.5 million of revenue for the same period in 2025.
• Research and Development (R&D) Expenses: For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, R&D expenses were $26.4 million, compared to $41.6 million for the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by lower costs associated with clinical trials for seralutinib.
• General and Administrative Expenses (G&A): For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, G&A expenses were $8.9 million, compared to $8.7 million for the same period in 2025.
• Net Income (Loss): Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, was $16.9 million, or $0.05 basic net income per share and $0.08 diluted net loss per share, compared to a net loss of $38.3 million, or $0.17 basic and diluted net loss per share, for the same period in 2025.
