6. LEASES
The Company as a lessee
The Company has leases for office, research laboratory and manufacturing facilities, equipment, vehicles, and land. The terms of the leases vary, although most generally have lease terms between 3 and 29 years. Lump sum payments were made upfront to acquire the leasehold land from the owners with lease periods of 50 years, and no ongoing payments will be made under the terms of these leasehold land. Leases with terms of 12 months or less are expensed as incurred. Collaboration assets represent the Company’s share of assets leased to the collaboration from Janssen Biotech, Inc., a Johnson & Johnson company ("Janssen"), which purchased the assets on behalf of the collaboration, in connection with our collaboration and license agreement (the "Janssen Agreement"). Collaboration assets under construction that will be leased to the collaboration from Janssen when placed into service are classified as collaboration prepaid leases on the consolidated financial statements.

(b)Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of a lease, the Company recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The balance of the Company’s lease liabilities and the movements for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| (Dollars in millions) | | 2026 | | |
| Carrying amount at January 1, 2026 | | $ | 94.6 | | | |
| Additions | | 30.7 | | | |
| Accretion of interest recognized during the period | | 0.9 | | | |
| Payments | | (2.3) | | | |
| Exchange realignment | | (0.6) | | | |

| Analyzed into: | | | | |
| Current portion | | $ | 11.2 | | | |
| Non-current portion | | 112.1 | | | |
| Carrying amount at March 31, 2026 | | $ | 123.3 | | | |
The Company has a lease that commenced in February 2026, with Janssen located in Raritan, New Jersey. The Company expects to receive 50% of the future lease payments from Janssen from profit sharing under the Janssen Agreement. The Company recognizes the full lease liability of approximately $30.6 million, rather than its share because the Company has the primary responsibility for making the lease payments. A finance sublease receivable of approximately $15.3 million is subsequently recognized when the related right-of-use asset is subleased to the collaboration. The total sublease receivable of $15.3 million has been classified in prepayments, other receivables and other assets of $1.8 million, and other non-current assets of $13.5 million.
7. COLLABORATION INVENTORIES, NET
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| (Dollars in millions) | March 31, 2026 | | December 31, 2025 |
| Raw materials | $ | 22.4 | | | $ | 24.1 | |
| Work-in-process | 5.2 | | | 1.1 | |
| Finished goods | 9.5 | | | 6.8 | |
| Total collaboration inventories, net | $ | 37.1 | | | $ | 32.0 | |
The Company's reserve for inventory was $12.5 million and $18.7 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Company’s reserve for inventory was primarily related to certain batches or units of product that did not meet quality specifications, and expired materials. The inventory reserve was included in the collaboration cost of sales.
8. PREPAYMENTS, OTHER RECEIVABLES AND OTHER ASSETS
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| (Dollars in millions) | March 31, 2026 | | December 31, 2025 |
| Other collaboration receivables | $ | 174.0 | | | $ | 227.8 | |
| VAT recoverable | 10.9 | | | 8.1 | |
| Prepayments | 19.4 | | | 14.6 | |
| Other current assets | 5.0 | | | 2.9 | |
| Total | $ | 209.3 | | | $ | 253.4 | |
None of the above assets is either past due or impaired. The financial assets included in the above balances relate to receivables for which there was no recent history of default. The Company estimated that the expected credit loss for the above receivables as at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 is insignificant.
9. COLLABORATION INTEREST-BEARING ADVANCED FUNDING
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Effective interest rate (%) | | March 31, 2026 |
| | | (In millions) |
| Current: | | | |
| Collaboration Interest-bearing Advanced Funding | 6.84 | % | | $ | 266.0 | |
Pursuant to the Janssen Agreement, the Company received advances from Janssen over time ("Funding Advances"). These Funding Advances are accounted for as interest-bearing borrowings funded by Janssen, constituted by a principal amounting to $250.0 million and applicable interests accrued amounting to $73.3 million upon such principal as of March 31, 2026. The respective interest rate of each borrowing has transitioned from London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) in accordance with the LIBOR ACT. Thus, outstanding Funding Advances accrue interest at 12 month CME term SOFR plus LIBOR/SOFR adjustment (12 month) plus a margin of 2.5%.
There is no specific maturity date for the Funding Advances. However, pursuant to the terms of the Janssen Agreement, Janssen may recoup the aggregate amount of Funding Advances, together with interest thereon, from Company’s share of pre-tax profits starting from the first calendar quarter following the first profitable year of the collaboration program and, subject to some limitations, from milestone payments due to the Company under the Janssen Agreement.
In the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company reduced its collaboration advanced funding principal balance by $57.3 million by offsetting it with the pre-tax profit receivable for the quarter, which resulted in an outstanding principal balance of $192.7 million and outstanding accrued interest balance of $73.3 million, in each case as of March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, the Company estimated that the entire balance of $266.0 million (inclusive of both principal and
interest) would be recouped by Janssen within the next 12 months, and therefore such amount was classified as a current liability.
The interest for the Funding Advances was $4.2 million and $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. These amounts are included in Finance Costs on the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income/(loss).

Overview
We are a global biopharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery, development, manufacturing and commercialization of novel cell therapies for oncology and other indications. Our team of approximately 3,100 employees in the United States, China and Europe, our differentiated technology, as well as our global development and manufacturing expertise provide us with the ability to generate, test and manufacture next-generation cell therapies targeting indications with high unmet needs. Our lead product candidate, ciltacabtagene autoleucel, ("cilta-cel") (referred to
as LCAR-B38M for purposes of our LEGEND-2 trial), is a CAR-T cell therapy we are jointly developing with our strategic partner, Janssen Biotech, Inc., a Johnson & Johnson company ("Janssen"), for the treatment of multiple myeloma (“MM”). Clinical trial results achieved to date demonstrate that cilta-cel is the first CAR-T cell therapy to demonstrate overall survival benefit when compared to standard therapies in patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma ("RRMM") with a manageable safety profile.
On February 28, 2022, cilta-cel was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) under the trademark CARVYKTI for the treatment of adults with RRMM who have received four or more prior lines of therapy, including a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory agent, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody. In April 2024, the FDA approved CARVYKTI for the treatment of patients with RRMM who have received at least one prior line of therapy, including proteasome inhibitor, and an immunomodulatory agent, and are refractory to lenalidomide. CARVYKTI is our first and only product approved by a health authority.
Recent Business Developments
•CARVYKTI® (ciltacabtagene autoleucel; cilta-cel) net trade sales increased 62% versus first quarter of 2025 to approximately $597 million
•CARVYKTI® now available across 18 global markets, following recent launches in Italy, Poland, the Czech Republic and Australia
•Advanced early-stage cell therapy portfolio, with multiple data presentations expected at medical conferences in 2026
•Cash and cash equivalents, and time deposits of $834.6 million, as of March 31, 2026.
Global Economic Conditions
Worldwide economic conditions remain uncertain and we continue to monitor the impact of macroeconomic conditions, including those related to the public health crises, international tension and conflicts, the failure and instability of financial institutions and rising inflation rates.
Changes in tariffs, supply chain constraints, logistics challenges, labor shortages, international tension and conflicts and steps taken by governments and central banks, have led to fluctuating inflation, which has led to an increase in costs and has caused changes in fiscal and monetary policy, including fluctuating interest rates. Our manufacturing activities in the United States, Europe and China have continued. Currently, we have not experienced any material impact to our supply chain as a result of inflation and fluctuating interest rates. Increased quantities of certain raw materials and consumables have been stocked as an appropriate safety measure. We believe we have established robust sourcing strategies for all necessary materials and do not expect any significant impact.
Specifically with respect to the current tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, we do not currently believe such tariffs will have a material impact on our financial condition, as pharmaceuticals were exempted from these tariffs. However, the Trump administration has announced an intention to implement tariffs for pharmaceuticals at a future date. While the impact of any such pharmaceutical tariffs on Legend may be mitigated by the fact that the US CARVYKTI® supply is domestically produced at the Raritan site in New Jersey and at the Novartis CMO facility in Morris Plains, New Jersey, we may face tariff exposure from certain pharmaceutical ingredients and processing materials that are imported from outside the United States.
If these changes in economic conditions continue or if they increase in severity, it could result in further economic uncertainty and volatility in the capital markets in the near term and could negatively affect our operations. Although we do not believe that these macroeconomic conditions have had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, we may experience impacts in the near future (especially if inflation rates begin to rise again or significant tariffs are imposed on pharmaceutical ingredients) on our operating costs, including our cost of goods sold, labor costs and research and development costs, due to tariffs, supply chain constraints, consequences associated with public health crises, international tension and conflicts, and employee availability and wage increases, which may result in additional stress on our working capital resources.
Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
The following table summarizes our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

Revenue
Collaboration Revenue
Collaboration revenue was $298.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $185.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase of $112.8 million was due to an increase in revenue generated from sales of CARVYKTI® in connection with the Janssen collaboration and license agreement.
License and Other Revenue
License revenue was $6.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $9.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease of $2.7 million was primarily attributed to revenue recognized under the license agreement with Novartis Pharma AG, which was recognized over time as Legend Biotech conducts a Phase 1 clinical trial for LB2102.
Cost of Collaboration Revenue
Cost of collaboration revenue was $175.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $69.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase of $105.9 million was primarily due to Legend Biotech’s share of the cost of sales in connection with CARVYKTI® sales under the Janssen Agreement, as well as one-time additional costs incurred for capacity expansion and depreciation charges.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses were $85.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $101.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease of $16.2 millionwas primarily driven by lower
expenditures in the cilta-cel clinical program as the patient dosing phases of major trials concluded, partially offset by higher pipeline related research and development activities.
Administrative Expenses
Administrative expenses were $40.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $31.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase of $8.5 million was primarily driven by higher professional fees.
Selling and Distribution Expenses
Selling and distribution expenses were $50.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $41.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase of $9.1 million was primarily due to higher commercial costs, including sales force expansion and Janssen-related marketing and market access activities, which rose with collaboration revenue.
Other Expense, net
Other Expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $5.1 million, compared to Other Expense, net of $54.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease of $49.4 million was primarily driven by lower unrealized foreign currency exchange losses compared to the prior period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, and time deposits of $834.6 million, as of March 31, 2026, and cash that we expect to generate from our operations will provide sufficient resources to meet our operational needs and loan repayment needs for at least the next 12 months. We also believe that we have ability to access capital markets as sources of liquidity if needed.
With the exception of our first product, CARVYKTI, which was initially approved by the FDA on February 28, 2022, we do not currently have any approved products and we have not generated any revenue from product sales for other products. From inception through March 31, 2026, we have funded our operations primarily through revenue from sales of CARVYKTI, equity financings, payments, and advancements from Janssen and Novartis pursuant to collaboration and license agreements.
As of March 31, 2026, we had approximately $646.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, approximately $188.2 million of time deposits, and accumulated losses of $2.0 billion.
Certain of our subsidiaries, including those registered as wholly foreign-owned enterprises in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC"), are required to set aside at least 10.0% of their after-tax profits to their general reserves until such reserves reach 50.0% of their registered capital. Under PRC regulations, foreign-invested enterprises may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profit, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. A PRC company is not permitted to distribute any profits until any losses from prior fiscal years have been offset. Profits retained from prior fiscal years may be distributed together with distributable profits from the current fiscal year. Although we do not currently require any such dividends from our PRC subsidiaries to fund our operations, should we require additional sources of liquidity in the future, such restrictions may have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and capital resources. For more information, see “Item 4.B-Business Overview - Government Regulation - PRC Regulation - Other PRC National- and Provincial-Level Laws and Regulations - Regulations Relating to Dividend Distributions” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $85.1 million, primarily as a result of net loss before tax of $53.1 million, after adjusting for non-cash items, and changes in operating assets and liabilities. The year-over-year change was primarily due to a decrease in operating losses and a decrease in income taxes paid, partially offset by a decrease in working capital and a decrease in interest income received.
Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $103.6 million, primarily as a result of net loss before tax of approximately $99.2 million after adjusting for non-cash items, and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Adjustments mainly included $12.1 million of finance income, offset by $55.2 million of foreign exchange loss and $15.9 million of equity-settled share-based compensation expenses. Changes in operating assets and liabilities mainly include an increase in prepayment, other receivable and other assets of $48.6 million, a decrease in other payables and accruals of $39.1 million, and a decrease in contract liabilities, net of $9.0 million. This was partially offset by an increase in trade payables of $19.5 million. Cash items primarily include interest income received of $15.0 million. This was partially offset by income tax payment of $11.9 million.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $168.0 million. This change mainly reflects the timing of time deposit investments and maturities.
Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $256.6 million, consisting primarily of a redemption of time deposits of $374.0 million. This was partially offset by a $100.0 million addition of time deposits, and a $15.4 million prepayment to Janssen for collaboration assets.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $1.2 million. The year-over-year change is primarily attributable to the decrease in proceeds from exercise of stock options.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $0.6 million, consisting primarily of proceeds from exercise of share options of $1.4 million, partially offset by the principal portion of lease payments of $0.8 million.
Funding Requirements
We expect to continue to incur expenses in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we continue the research and development of, continue or initiate clinical trials of, and seek marketing approval for, our product candidates. In addition, following the FDA’s approval of CARVYKTI, we continue to incur significant commercialization expenses related to program sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution. For example, in addition to investing in our own facilities, we have supplemented our manufacturing capabilities and infrastructure by entering into agreements with a CMO
and may enter into additional CMO agreements in the future. Furthermore, we expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company. Accordingly, we may need to obtain additional funding in connection with our continuing operations. If we are unable to raise capital if and when needed or on attractive terms, we would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our research and development programs or future commercialization efforts.
Although consequences of the macroeconomic conditions, including global conflicts and inflation, and resulting economic uncertainty could adversely affect our liquidity and capital resources in the future, and cash requirements may fluctuate based on the timing and extent of many factors such as those discussed below, we currently expect our existing cash and cash equivalents, and time deposits as well as revenue that we expect to generate from our operations will provide sufficient resources to meet our operational needs and loan repayment needs for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
•the amount and timing of revenue we receive from commercial sales of CARVYKTI under the Janssen Agreement;
•the scope, progress, results and costs of product discovery, preclinical studies and clinical trials;
•the scope, prioritization and number of our research and development programs;
•the costs, timing and outcome of regulatory review of our product candidates;
•our ability to establish and maintain collaborations on favorable terms, if at all;
•the achievement of milestones or occurrence of other developments that trigger payments under the Janssen Agreement and any other collaboration agreements we enter into;
•the extent to which we are obligated to reimburse, or entitled to reimbursement of, clinical trial costs under collaboration agreements, if any;
•the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights and defending intellectual property-related claims;
•the extent to which we acquire or in-license other product candidates and technologies;
•the costs of securing manufacturing arrangements for commercial production; and
•the costs of establishing or contracting for sales and marketing capabilities if we obtain regulatory approvals to market our product candidates.
In addition to our commercial product CARVYKTI, we have a broad portfolio of earlier-stage product candidates. Identifying potential product candidates and conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials is a time consuming, expensive and uncertain process that takes many years to complete, and we may never generate the necessary data or results required to obtain marketing approval and achieve product sales for such product candidates. In addition, our product candidates, if approved, may not achieve commercial success. Our commercial revenues from earlier-stage product candidates, if any, will be derived from sales of product candidates that we do not expect to be commercially available for many years, if at all. Accordingly, we will need to continue to rely on additional financing to achieve our business objectives. Adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.
To supplement our cash proceeds from the product revenue, we might need to finance our cash through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, holders of our ADSs will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our shareholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends.
If we raise funds through additional collaborations, strategic alliances or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.
Under the Janssen Agreement, Janssen may recoup the aggregate amount of Funding Advances, together with interest thereon, from our share of pre-tax profits starting from the first calendar quarter following the first profitable year
of the collaboration program and, subject to some limitations, from milestone payments due to us under the Janssen Agreement.
As of March 31, 2026, we estimated that the entire balance of $266.0 million of Funding Advances would be recouped by Janssen within the next 12 months, and therefore such amount was classified as a current liability.
Certain Supplemental Non-IFRS Metrics
Our management uses various financial metrics, including certain metrics that are not prepared in accordance with IFRS, to measure and assess the performance of our business, to make critical business decisions, and to assess our compliance with certain financial obligations. We therefore believe that presentation of certain of these non-IFRS metrics alongside the IFRS measures will aid investors in understanding our business.
The non-IFRS metrics should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance, financial position or cash flows reported in accordance with IFRS. We strongly encourage investors to review our historical financial statements in their entirety and to use the measures presented in accordance with IFRS as the primary means of evaluating our performance. Moreover, we encourage investors to review the definitions and reconciliations of non-IFRS financial measures to their most directly comparable IFRS measures. In addition, non-IFRS metrics are not uniformly defined by all companies, including those in our industry. Accordingly, non-IFRS metrics may not be comparable with similarly titled measures and disclosures by other companies, and we therefore encourage investors to review the discussions of these non-IFRS financial measures particularly the limitations on their usefulness and to understand how such measures differ from similarly titled measures that may be presented by other companies in the pharmaceutical industry or in general.
Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss per Share
We use Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss per Share (which we sometimes refer to as “Adjusted EPS” or “ANL per Share”, respectively) as performance metrics. Adjusted Net Loss and ANL per share are not defined under IFRS, are not a measure of operating income, operating performance, or liquidity presented in accordance with IFRS, and are subject to important limitations. Our use of Adjusted Net Loss has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under IFRS. For example:
•Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted Net Loss does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements.
•Adjusted Net Loss excludes unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss.
•Adjusted Net Loss does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs.
•In addition, Adjusted Net Loss excludes share based compensation expense, which has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense for our business and an important part of our compensation strategy.
Also, our definition of Adjusted Net Loss and ANL per Share may not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies.
However, we believe that providing information concerning Adjusted Net Loss and ANL per Share enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance. We use Adjusted Net Loss as a performance metric that guides management in its operation of and planning for the future of the business. We believe that Adjusted Net Loss provides a useful measure of our operating performance from period to period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business. We define Adjusted Net Loss as net loss adjusted for (1) non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization, share based compensation, and loss on impairment asset, and (2) unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss.
ANL per Share is computed by dividing Adjusted Net Loss by the weighted average shares outstanding.
Reconciliation between Adjusted Net Loss and Net Loss, the most directly comparable measure under IFRS, has been provided in the table below.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our cash is held in readily available operating accounts and short to medium term deposits and securities. These securities are principal secured and not adversely impacted by interest rate fluctuations. As a result, a change in market interest rates would not have any significant impact on our cash balance.
The interest rate pursuant to the Janssen Agreement, has transitioned in accordance with the LIBOR Act. Thus, outstanding Funding Advances accrue interest at 12 month CME term SOFR plus LIBOR/SOFR adjustment (12 month) plus a margin of 2.5%. Accordingly, changes in SOFR could result in fluctuations in our cash flow. For example, based on the $192.7 million aggregate principal amount of Funding Advances outstanding from Janssen as of March 31, 2026, a 0.5% (fifty basis point) per annum increase in SOFR would result in an additional $1.0 million per year in interest payable by the Company.
Inflation generally affects us by increasing our cost of labor and clinical trial costs. We do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Our financial results are subject to fluctuations due to foreign exchange rate movements. We conduct business in multiple currencies, and as a result, we are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations that may impact our financial statements. Unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from the revaluation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, as well as from translation adjustments related to our international operations. These unrealized gains and losses can significantly impact our net income and financial position, even when there is no underlying economic impact on our cash flows. If exchange rates move unfavorably, we may experience substantial unrealized losses, which could negatively affect our reported earnings and create volatility in our financial performance.
In addition, the value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economic conditions in China and by China’s foreign exchange policies. In recent years, the RMB has fluctuated against the U.S. dollar, at times significantly and unpredictably. Significant revaluation of the RMB may have a negative effect on our business.
As of the date thereof, we have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk.

First Quarter 2026 Financial Results
•Cash Position: Cash and cash equivalents, and time deposits were $834.6 million as of March 31, 2026.
•Collaboration Revenue: Collaboration revenue was $298.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $185.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase of $112.8 million was due to an increase in revenue generated from sales of CARVYKTI® in connection with the Janssen collaboration and license agreement (the “Janssen Agreement”).
•License and Other Revenue: License revenue was $6.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $9.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease of $2.7 million was primarily attributed to revenue recognized under the license agreement with Novartis Pharma AG, which was recognized over time as Legend Biotech conducts a Phase 1 clinical trial for LB2102.
•Cost of Collaboration Revenue: Cost of collaboration revenue was $175.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $69.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase of $105.9 million was primarily due to Legend Biotech’s share of the cost of sales in connection with CARVYKTI® sales under the Janssen Agreement, as well as one-time additional costs incurred for capacity expansion and depreciation charges.
1 Company-wide profit defined as Adjusted Net Income
•Research and Development Expenses: Research and development expenses were $85.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $101.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease of $16.2 million was primarily driven by lower expenditures in the cilta-cel clinical program as the patient dosing phases of major trials concluded, partially offset by higher pipeline related research and development activities.
•Administrative Expenses: Administrative expenses were $40.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $31.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase of $8.5 million was primarily driven by higher professional fees.
•Selling and Distribution Expenses: Selling and distribution expenses were $50.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $41.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase of $9.1 million was primarily due to higher commercial costs, including sales force expansion and Janssen-related marketing and market access activities, which rose with collaboration revenue.
•Operating loss: Operating loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $49.8 million compared to $51.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The year-over-year improvement of $1.9 million was primarily due to higher gross profit from CARVYKTI®.
•Net Loss: Net loss was $54.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to a net loss of $101.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The year-over-year improvement of $46.7 million was primarily driven by lower unrealized foreign currency exchange losses compared to the prior period, as well as improved operating performance reflecting higher gross profit from CARVYKTI®.
•Adjusted Net Loss: Adjusted net loss was $10.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to an adjusted net loss of $27.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The year-over-year improvement of $16.5 million was primarily driven by improved operating performance, reflecting higher gross profit from CARVYKTI®.

RECONCILIATION OF IFRS TO NON-IFRS MEASURES
We use Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss per Share (which we sometimes refer to as “Adjusted EPS” “ANL per Share”) as performance metrics. Adjusted Net Loss and ANL per share are not defined under IFRS, are not a measure of operating income, operating performance, or liquidity presented in accordance with IFRS, and are subject to important limitations. Our use of Adjusted Net Loss has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under IFRS. For example:
•Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted Net Loss does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements.
•Adjusted Net Loss excludes unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss.
•Adjusted Net Loss does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs.
•In addition, Adjusted Net Loss excludes such as share based compensation expense, which has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense for our business and an important part of our compensation strategy.
Also, our definition of Adjusted Net Loss and ANL per Share may not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies.
However, we believe that providing information concerning Adjusted Net Loss and ANL per Share enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance. We use Adjusted Net Loss as a performance metric that guides management in its operation of and planning for the future of the business. We believe that Adjusted Net Loss provides a useful measure of our operating performance from period to period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business. We define Adjusted Net Loss as net loss adjusted for (1) non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization, share based compensation, impairment loss, and (2) unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss.
ANL per Share is computed by dividing Adjusted Net Loss by the weighted average shares outstanding.
A reconciliation between Adjusted Net Loss and Net Loss, the most directly comparable measure under IFRS, has been provided in the table below.
