YARTEMLEA launch and zaltenibart deal reshape Omeros (NASDAQ: OMER)
Omeros Corporation reported a sharp turnaround in Q1 2026, posting net income of $56.1 million versus a $33.5 million loss a year earlier. The improvement was largely due to a $73.1 million non-cash gain from remeasuring the embedded derivative on its 2029 convertible notes.
Product sales reached $9.9 million following the January 2026 U.S. launch of YARTEMLEA for TA-TMA, while research and development spending declined to $13.4 million from $23.8 million. Operating cash flow remained negative at $14.5 million, but Omeros held $1.9 million in cash and $133.4 million in short-term investments as of March 31, 2026.
The balance sheet shows a shareholders’ deficit of $63.3 million, improved from $121.2 million at year-end 2025, influenced by the zaltenibart sale and debt actions. The company also continues to recognize income from OMIDRIA royalties and retains significant potential milestones and royalties from its APLA with Novo Nordisk.

Insights
Quarter shows first YARTEMLEA sales and accounting-driven profit.
Omeros generated $9.9 million in YARTEMLEA product sales in its first commercial quarter, confirming early market uptake in TA‑TMA. The headline profit of $56.1 million was driven mainly by a $73.1 million non‑cash gain on the 2029 notes’ embedded derivative.
Core operations are still loss-making, with a $17.4 million operating loss and $14.5 million net cash used in operating activities. Cash and short‑term investments totaled about $135.3 million, while the OMIDRIA royalty obligation stood at $161.8 million, leaving a shareholders’ deficit of $63.3 million.
Strategically, the company highlights FDA‑approved YARTEMLEA, the EMA marketing application, and the zaltenibart APLA with Novo Nordisk, which includes up to $1.8 billion in potential milestones plus tiered royalties. Future filings may clarify how recurring YARTEMLEA revenue offsets ongoing R&D, interest expense, and royalty obligations.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Note 1—Organization and Basis of Presentation
General
Omeros Corporation (“Omeros,” the “Company” or “we”) is an innovative, commercial-stage biotechnology company that discovers and develops first-in-class protein and small-molecule therapeutics for large-market and orphan indications, with particular emphasis on complement-mediated diseases, cancers, and addictive or compulsive disorders.
Our clinical-stage development programs include: narsoplimab, our antibody targeting mannan-binding lectin-associated serine protease 2 (“MASP-2”), the effector enzyme of the lectin pathway of complement; OMS1029, our long-acting antibody targeting MASP-2; and OMS527, our phosphodiesterase 7 (“PDE7”) inhibitor program. During 2025, we entered into an Asset Purchase and License Agreement (“APLA”) with Novo Nordisk Health Care AG (“Novo Nordisk”) for exclusive global rights in all indications to develop and commercialize zaltenibart, also known as OMS906, our lead antibody targeting mannan-binding lectin-associated serine protease-3 (“MASP-3”), the key activator of the alternative pathway of complement. We retain rights to our MASP-3 small-molecule program, including the ability to develop and commercialize small-molecule MASP-3 inhibitors across a range of therapeutic areas, including, but not limited to, ophthalmology, neurology, gastrointestinal disorders, dermatology, musculoskeletal diseases, and oncology. We also retain rights to develop our “grandfathered” MASP-3 antibodies, with temporal and indication restrictions on commercialization, and for use in advancing our small-molecule therapeutics.
FDA Approval of YARTEMLEA®
On December 23, 2025, FDA approved YARTEMLEA® (narsoplimab-wuug) for the treatment of hematopoietic stem cell transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (“TA-TMA”). TA-TMA is a severe and often-fatal complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in adults and children, driven by systemic endothelial injury triggered by conditioning regimens, immunosuppressants, infection, graft-versus-host disease, and other transplant-related factors. Activation of the lectin pathway of complement plays a central role in disease pathogenesis. YARTEMLEA selectively inhibits MASP-2, blocking pathway activation while preserving classical and alternative complement pathway functions important for host defense. In TA-TMA, MASP-2 inhibition prevents lectin pathway-mediated cellular injury, including endothelial damage in small blood vessels, and thrombus formation.
YARTEMLEA is the first and only approved inhibitor of the lectin pathway of complement. YARTEMLEA is approved for the treatment of TA-TMA in adults and in children ages two years and older.
Commercial distribution and sales of YARTEMLEA commenced in January 2026.
A marketing authorization application (“MAA”) for YARTEMLEA in TA-TMA has been submitted to the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) and is being reviewed under EMA’s centralized review procedure, which allows review of a single marketing authorization application. If the MAA is approved, it would authorize the product to be marketed in all European Union (“EU”) member states and European Economic Area countries. The European Commission has granted narsoplimab designation as an orphan medicinal product for treatment in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. For commercialization of YARTEMLEA outside the U.S., we are evaluating potential partnerships, including broad ex-U.S. and regional collaborations.
Sale of Zaltenibart
On November 25, 2025, we completed a transaction (the “Transaction”) pursuant to the APLA between Omeros and Novo Nordisk, dated October 10, 2025, in which Novo Nordisk received exclusive global rights in all indications to develop and commercialize our lead investigational MASP-3 inhibitor, zaltenibart (formerly OMS906), and certain related compounds and products. Zaltenibart is a first-in-class, late-stage clinical humanized monoclonal antibody targeting MASP-3, the most upstream and key activator of the alternative pathway of the complement system. Zaltenibart has shown multiple potential advantages over other alternative pathway inhibitors in development and on the market.
At the closing of the Transaction, we received an upfront cash payment of $
Pursuant to the APLA, we sold and transferred, and Novo Nordisk purchased, zaltenibart and certain related assets, and the parties agreed to grant and receive certain intellectual property licenses to facilitate the continued development and commercialization activities of both companies. We retain rights to our MASP-3 small-molecule program unrelated to zaltenibart, including the ability to develop and commercialize small-molecule MASP-3 inhibitors, across a range of therapeutic areas, including, but not limited to, ophthalmology, neurology, gastrointestinal disorders, dermatology, musculoskeletal diseases and oncology. We also retain rights to our “grandfathered” MASP-3 antibodies, with temporal and indication restrictions on commercialization and for use in advancing our small-molecule therapeutics.
In accordance with the APLA, at the closing of the Transaction, Omeros and Novo Nordisk entered into a transition services agreement (the “Transition Services Agreement”) pursuant to which we are providing certain transition services to Novo Nordisk to facilitate the transfer of the acquired assets and liabilities under the APLA and to provide for the continued operation of relevant studies and program activities during the applicable term. Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, Novo Nordisk reimburses us for costs and expenses we incur under the Transition Services Agreement, including third-party costs and expenses, costs associated with delivery of transition services by Omeros personnel on an hourly basis at rates specified in the Transition Services Agreement, and for our inventories of zaltenibart drug substance and product.
Other Development Programs
Our lectin pathway program also includes OMS1029, our long-acting antibody targeting MASP-2. We have completed Phase 1 clinical trials evaluating both single-ascending and multiple ascending doses of OMS1029. Results of these studies support once-quarterly dosing administered either intravenously or subcutaneously. OMS1029 has been well tolerated to date with no safety concerns identified. We are working to finalize selection of an indication and initiate Phase 2 clinical development of OMS1029. In addition, we have selected a development candidate for our MASP-2 small molecule program, which is advancing to Investigational New Drug (“IND”)-enabling studies targeting once-daily oral administration.
Our PDE7 inhibitor program, which we refer to as OMS527, comprises multiple PDE7 inhibitor compounds and is based on our discoveries of previously unknown links between PDE7 and any addiction or compulsive disorder, and between PDE7 and any movement disorder. In April 2023, we were awarded a grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (“NIDA”), to develop an orally administered PDE7 inhibitor compound for the treatment of cocaine use disorder. NIDA awarded the grant to us for a total of $
We also have various programs in preclinical research and development. We continue to progress preclinical studies within our novel oncology program, which is focused on developing novel, proprietary large molecule therapeutics designed to selectively target and kill dividing cancer cells. We have completed selection of a drug development candidate, and IND-enabling studies are underway for this program, which we refer to as OncotoX-AML. Acute myeloid leukemia (“AML”), an aggressive and highly fatal bone marrow and blood cancer, is the lead indication for development.
We are also advancing our targeted complement activating therapy (“T-CAT”) platform: a new class of recombinant antibodies intended for broad action against pathogens, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites. T-CAT is designed to harness complement activation to kill pathogens directly, which represents a novel approach to infectious disease treatment. Our initial focus is on T-CAT’s potential against multidrug-resistant organisms.
Basis of Presentation
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of Omeros and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions have been eliminated. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and non-recurring adjustments, considered necessary for the fair presentation of such information. Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant items subject to such estimates include revenue recognition and the valuations of the OMIDRIA contract royalty asset, the OMIDRIA royalty obligation, and the embedded derivatives associated with our debt. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances; however, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies
Segment Reporting
We operate in one business segment focusing on the research, discovery, development and commercialization of small-molecule and protein therapeutics targeting immunologic diseases, including complement-mediated diseases and cancers related to dysfunction of the immune system, as well as addictive and compulsive disorders. The Company defines its operating segment based on internally reported financial information that is regularly used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to analyze performance, make decisions and allocate resources. The Company’s CODM is our Chief Executive Officer. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company has identified one operating and reporting segment. The CODM reviews net income (loss) and expenses reported on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The measurement of segment assets is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as total consolidated assets. All long-lived assets are held in the U.S. Our segment net income (loss) aligns with our condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Revenue Recognition
When we enter into a customer contract, we perform the following five steps: (i) identify the contract with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation.
Product Sales, Net
We generally recognize revenue from product sales when the product is delivered to our wholesalers and title to the product is transferred, upon which we have satisfied our performance obligations. Fulfillment activities by the wholesalers are not considered to be a separate performance obligation. Product revenue is recorded net of variable consideration, including wholesaler distribution fees, chargebacks, returns and discounts. We estimate variable consideration using the expected value approach. This estimate is based on several factors, including: historical return rates, expiration date by product and estimated levels of inventory in the wholesale channel. Since there is often a timing lag between the product sale and the settlement of accruals relating to these programs, our net product revenue may incorporate revisions of accruals for several periods. We include such estimates in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
Given the limited commercialization history of YARTEMLEA, our estimates of variable consideration require judgment and are subject to change as additional data becomes available. We recognize adjustments to net product revenue in the period in which changes in estimates become known.
Chargebacks
Chargebacks represent discounts provided to eligible covered entities under government programs, including the 340B Drug Pricing Program (“340B”) and the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program (“Medicaid”). In addition, we are subject to pricing obligations under our Federal Supply Schedule agreement with the U.S. government (the “FSS Agreement”), which establishes maximum prices for sales to certain federal agencies and may give rise to additional discounts and rebates. Chargebacks are recorded as a reduction of gross product revenue at the time of sale. Reserves for chargebacks are generally recorded as reductions of accounts receivable, while reserves for Medicaid rebates and patient co-pay assistance, if applicable, are recorded as accrued liabilities.
Chargeback estimates are based on statutory pricing requirements applicable to the 340B program and expected utilization by covered entities. Given the limited commercial history of our recently launched product, these estimates require significant judgment, including assumptions related to future utilization patterns and channel inventory. Estimates are reassessed at each reporting period and adjusted as necessary based on actual experience, changes in 340B utilization, and other relevant factors.
In addition to 340B chargebacks and Medicaid rebates, we maintain programs that may result in additional variable consideration, including a patient co-pay assistance program. There was no activity under the Medicaid and co-pay assistance program during the three months ended March 31, 2026, and, accordingly, no material related reductions to gross product revenue were recorded. We will continue to evaluate these programs as utilization evolves and will recognize the related reductions to revenue in the period in which they occur.
Distribution Fees and Return Allowances
We pay distribution fees to wholesalers for services they perform on our behalf. These fees are calculated based on the wholesalers’ average acquisition cost of purchases of YARTEMLEA, exclusive of any chargebacks. We estimate these amounts at the time of sale to the wholesaler and record them as a reduction in product sales in the same period the related revenue is recognized.
We allow for the return of product up to 12 months past its expiration date or for product that is damaged. In estimating product returns, we take into consideration our return experience to date, the remaining shelf-life of product we have previously sold, inventory in the wholesale channel, and our expectation that product is typically not held by health care providers based on the frequency of their reorders. There were no product returns in the three months ended March 31, 2026. Due to the ordering patterns associated with transplant centers and the extended shelf life of YARTEMLEA, returns are expected to be limited; however, our estimates may change as commercial experience matures.
Cost of Product Sales
Cost of product sales includes third-party manufacturing, royalties based on net product sales, and other costs directly related to the production and distribution of YARTEMLEA. We expensed as research and development expense all costs associated with the manufacture of YARTEMLEA produced prior to FDA approval. As a result, the cost basis of inventory available for sale at the time of commercialization was minimal, and cost of product sales is correspondingly low during the initial period following launch. Following FDA approval, we capitalize direct manufacturing costs as inventory and recognize these amounts in cost of product sales when the related inventory is sold. Accordingly, cost of product sales and gross margin during the initial periods following commercialization may not be indicative of future periods as we begin capitalizing and expensing post‑approval manufacturing costs.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses are comprised primarily of contracted research and development activities, clinical trial study and manufacturing costs prior to approval; consulting services; contract milestones; materials and supplies; costs for personnel, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation; depreciation; an allocation of our occupancy costs; and other expenses incurred to sustain our overall research and development programs. Advance payments for goods or services that will be used for future research and development activities are deferred and then recognized as an expense as the related goods are delivered or the services are performed. All other research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses are comprised primarily of marketing expenses; professional and legal services; patent costs; and salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation costs for marketing and other personnel not directly engaged in research and development. Additionally, selling, general and administrative expenses include depreciation, an allocation of our occupancy costs, and other general corporate expenses. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense is recognized for all share-based payments, including grants of stock option awards and restricted stock units based on estimated fair values. The fair value of our stock is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires assumptions around volatility, forfeiture rates, risk-free interest rate and expected term. Compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period, using the straight-line method. Forfeiture expense is estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We recognize the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained upon an examination by the relevant taxing authority. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Asset Sale Transactions
The Company evaluates transactions involving the sale of our compounds, products or drug programs to determine whether such arrangements represent a sale of a business or a sale of a nonfinancial asset. Transactions that do not meet the definition of a business are accounted for as the sale of a nonfinancial asset under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 610‑20, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets.
Upon transfer of control of the compound, product or drug program asset to a counterparty, the Company recognizes consideration received. Any excess of consideration over the carrying value of the asset sold is recognized as a gain in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Potential Milestone Income
The APLA with Novo Nordisk includes variable consideration in the form of milestone payments that are contingent upon the achievement of specified development, regulatory or commercialization events. The Company applies the variable consideration and constraint guidance in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, by analogy. At contract inception and throughout the term of the arrangement, the Company assesses whether the achievement of each milestone is probable and estimates variable consideration using the most likely amount method. Contingent milestone payments are excluded from the transaction price until the related milestone is achieved and it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur.
Amounts are included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company re-evaluates the transaction price at each reporting period, including the estimated variable consideration and the application of the constraint, to reflect changes in circumstances. Factors considered in these evaluations include the clinical or technical complexity of the milestone, the stage of development, and the risk of regulatory approval. Because of the risk that products in development will not receive regulatory approval, we generally do not recognize any contingent payments that would be due to us until regulatory approval.
Discontinued Operations
We review the presentation of planned or completed business dispositions in the condensed consolidated financial statements based on the available information and events that have occurred. The review consists of evaluating whether the business meets the definition of a component for which the operations and cash flows are clearly distinguishable from the other components of the business and, if so, whether it is anticipated that after the disposal the cash flows of the component would be eliminated from continuing operations and whether the disposition represents a strategic shift that has a major effect on operations and financial results. Planned or completed business dispositions are presented as discontinued operations when all the criteria described above are met.
We determined that the zaltenibart Transaction with Novo Nordisk did not meet the above criteria. As such, we recorded the gain on sale of zaltenibart in Other Income in our condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2025.
On December 23, 2021, we closed on an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Rayner Surgical Inc. (“Rayner”) for the sale of our commercial product OMIDRIA, which we record as an OMIDRIA contract asset on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. As a result of the divestiture, the results of OMIDRIA activities are classified as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented. We have rights to receive future royalties from Rayner on OMIDRIA net sales at royalty rates that vary based on geography and certain regulatory contingencies. Therefore, future OMIDRIA royalties are treated as variable consideration. The sale of OMIDRIA qualified as an asset sale under GAAP. To measure the OMIDRIA contract royalty asset, we use the expected value approach, which is the sum of the discounted probability-weighted royalty payments we would receive using a range of potential outcomes, to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative income recognized will not occur.
All U.S. royalties received from Rayner through December 31, 2031 are remitted by Rayner to an escrow account established by Omeros, from which payments are made to DRI Healthcare Acquisition LP (“DRI”) and are entirely pass-through in nature to the Company. These payments comprise interest expense, with the remainder treated as a reduction of the OMIDRIA royalty obligation. The amount recorded in discontinued operations in future periods will reflect interest earned on the outstanding OMIDRIA contract royalty asset at
OMIDRIA Royalty Obligation
On September 30, 2022, we sold to DRI a portion of our future OMIDRIA royalty receipts for a purchase price of $
To the extent our estimates of future royalties differ materially from the previous estimates, we will adjust for future OMIDRIA royalties to the present value of the revised estimated cash flows, discounted at the implied effective interest rate of
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Short-Term Investments and Restricted Investments
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less on the date of purchase, which can be easily converted into cash without a significant impact on their value. Short-term investment securities are classified as held-to-maturity, except for money market funds, which are classified as available-for-sale. Investments classified as available-for-sale are measured at fair value. Investments classified as held-to-maturity are carried at cost. Amortization, accretion, interest, and dividends, realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary are included within other income.
The cost of securities sold is based on the specific-identification method. Investments with maturities of less than one year, or those for which management intends to use the investments to fund current operations, are included in current assets. We evaluate whether an investment is other-than-temporarily impaired based on the specific facts and circumstances. Factors that are considered in determining whether an other-than-temporary decline in value has occurred include: the market value of the security in relation to its cost basis; the financial condition of the investee; and the intent and ability to retain the investment for a sufficient period of time to allow for recovery in the market value of the investment. Restricted investments held in money-market funds include security deposits on our office lease.
Investment income, which is included as a component of other income, consists primarily of interest earned.
Receivables
Receivables relates primarily to sales of YARTEMLEA to wholesalers and include estimated chargebacks and product returns that are expected to be settled through reductions in receivables, royalties receivable from Rayner on sales of OMIDRIA and receivables from Novo Nordisk for work performed under the Transition Services Agreement. Considering the nature of our receivables, including that trade receivables are primarily due from a limited number of customers, we recorded no material allowance for expected credit losses as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Property and Equipment, Net
Property and equipment are stated at cost, and depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets, which is generally between three and ten years. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market determined on a specific identification basis in a manner that approximates the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Costs include amounts related to third-party manufacturing, transportation and internal labor and overhead. Capitalization of costs as inventory begins when regulatory approval of the product candidate is reasonably assured in the U.S. or the EU. We expense inventory costs related to product candidates as research and development expenses prior to receiving regulatory approval in the applicable territory. Inventory is reduced to net realizable value for excess and obsolete inventories based on forecasted demand.
Debt
The Company accounts for its convertible debt at carrying value, net of applicable discounts, premiums and debt issuance costs. These instruments are recognized as a single liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets unless specific features require treatment under separate accounting guidance. Debt issuance costs, which include legal, accounting, and underwriting fees directly attributable to the financing, are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the convertible debt. These costs and any original issue discounts are amortized to interest expense over the contractual term of the debt using the effective interest method.
The Company classifies convertible debt as long-term or current based on the remaining maturity and the status of the conversion features at the balance sheet date. If the holders of the debt possess the right to convert the instrument into shares of the Company’s common stock within one year of the balance sheet date, or if the debt is otherwise callable, the respectivecarrying value of the converted debt is classified as current. The Company performs a periodic evaluation of the conversion conditions to ensure proper classification and to determine if the debt should be measured based on its settlement value. Upon conversion, the carrying value of the debt, including any unamortized costs, is typically reclassified to stockholders’ equity, and no gain or loss is recognized unless the conversion includes an inducement.
In February 2026, we repaid in full the remaining $
Embedded Derivatives
We account for convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, when we determine that embedded conversion features do not require bifurcation from the host instrument. We account for convertible instruments (when we have determined that the embedded conversion options should be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with ASC 815 – Derivative and Hedge Accounting (“ASC 815”). Under ASC 815, proceeds received upon the issuance of the hybrid contract are allocated between the fair value of the notes and the fair value of the derivative. The derivative is subsequently marked-to-market at each reporting date based on current fair value, with the changes in fair value reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
The embedded derivative on our 2029 Notes represents the conversion feature and interest make-whole feature available to holders of the 2029 Notes allowing them to convert the notes into cash, common stock and/or a combination thereof. The embedded derivative on our Term Loan was eliminated upon repayment on November 25, 2025. (For further details, see “Note 4 – Fair Value Measurements” and “Note 6 – Debt”).
Right-of-Use Assets and Related Lease Liabilities
We record operating leases as right-of-use assets and recognize the related lease liabilities equal to the fair value of the lease payments using our incremental borrowing rate when the implicit rate in the lease agreement is not readily available. We recognize variable lease payments when incurred. Costs associated with operating lease assets are recognized on a straight-line basis within operating expenses over the term of the lease.
We record finance lease obligations as a component of property and equipment and amortize these assets within operating expenses on a straight-line basis to their residual values over the shorter of the term of the underlying lease or the estimated useful life of the equipment. The interest component of finance lease obligations is included in interest expense and recognized using the effective interest method over the lease term.
We account for leases with initial terms of 12 months or less as an operating expense.
Common Stock Repurchases
We have repurchased shares of our common stock from time to time under authorization made by our Board of Directors. Under applicable Washington State law, repurchased shares are retired and not presented separately as treasury stock in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Financial Instruments and Concentrations of Credit Risk
Cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which are recorded at invoiced amount or cost, approximate fair value based on the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The fair value of short-term investments is based on quoted market prices. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and receivables. Cash and cash equivalents are held by financial institutions and are federally insured up to certain limits. At times, our cash and cash equivalents balance held at a financial institution may exceed the federally insured limits. To limit the credit risk, we invest our excess cash in high-quality securities such as money market mutual funds, certificates of deposit and U.S. treasury bills.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expense (“ASU 2024-03”), requiring public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03 on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities (“ASU 2025-10”), which establishes authoritative guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of government grants. Under ASU 2025-10, government grants are recognized when it is probable that the entity will both comply with the conditions of the grant and the grant will be received. The ASU provides specific accounting models for grants related to assets and grants related to income, including options to recognize government grants as deferred income or as a reduction of the asset’s cost basis. The ASU also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature of government grants, significant terms and conditions, accounting policies applied, and amounts recognized in the financial statements. ASU 2025-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-10 on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements (“ASU 2025-11”), which clarifies the guidance in Topic 270 to improve the consistency of interim financial reporting. The ASU provides a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures and introduces a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-11 on its consolidated financial statements.
Note 3—Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share (“Basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share (“Diluted EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Our potentially dilutive securities include common shares related to our stock options calculated using the treasury stock method and convertible senior notes calculated using the if-converted method. In periods where we have a net loss from continuing operations but overall net income, we do not compute Diluted EPS because the effect would be antidilutive. When there is a net loss, potentially dilutive securities, like stock options or convertible debt, are typically excluded from the diluted net loss per share calculation. Potentially dilutive securities excluded from Diluted EPS are calculated based on a weighted average of days in the quarter from when the respective transactions occurred and are shown as follows:

Note 4—Fair-Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability, an exit price, in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The accounting standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required:
Level 1—Observable inputs for identical assets or liabilities, such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
Level 3—Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore they are developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.
We review the fair value hierarchy classification on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value hierarchy. There have been no transfers of assets or liabilities between fair value measurement classifications during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Our fair value hierarchy for our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q and with our audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the SEC on March 31, 2026. In addition, you should read the section entitled “Risk Factors” and the disclaimers regarding forward-looking statements included herein and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for a discussion of important factors that could cause our results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by any forward-looking statements contained herein.
Overview
We are an innovative, commercial-stage biotechnology company that discovers and develops first-in-class protein and small-molecule therapeutics for large-market and orphan indications, with particular emphasis on complement-mediated diseases, cancers, and addictive or compulsive disorders.
Complement Inhibitor Programs
The complement system plays a role in the body’s inflammatory response and becomes activated as a result of tissue damage or trauma or microbial pathogen invasion. Inappropriate or uncontrolled activation of the complement system can cause diseases characterized by serious tissue injury. Three main pathways can activate the complement system: classical, lectin, and alternative. We are focused on development of therapeutics to treat diseases associated with the lectin and/or alternative pathways of complement. We are developing antibodies as well as small-molecule inhibitors of key enzymes known to be centrally involved in the in activation of the targeted pathway of complement.
Lectin Pathway / MASP-2
MASP-2 is a novel pro-inflammatory protein target that is the effector enzyme of the lectin pathway and is required for the function of this pathway. We are developing antibodies and small-molecule inhibitors of MASP-2 as potential therapeutics for diseases in which the lectin pathway has been shown to contribute to significant tissue injury and pathology. When not treated, these diseases are typically characterized by significant end-organ damage, such as kidney or central nervous system injury. Importantly, inhibition of MASP-2 has been demonstrated not to interfere with the antigen-antibody complex-dependent classical complement activation pathway, a critical component of the acquired immune response to infection.
The lead product and product candidate in our pipeline of complement-targeted therapeutics is narsoplimab (OMS721), a proprietary, patented human monoclonal antibody targeting MASP-2, the key activator of the lectin pathway of complement. Our lead lectin pathway inhibitor YARTEMLEA® (narsoplimab-wuug) was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in December 2025 and is commercially available in the U.S. for the treatment of TA-TMA in adult and pediatric patients aged two years and older. For more information, see “Commercial Product – YARTEMLEA” below.
Clinical development of narsoplimab is anticipated to continue expanding the approved label in TA-TMA and to develop the drug in additional indications. Clinical development efforts have previously been directed to acute respiratory distress syndrome (“ARDS”), including severe acute COVID-19, which can result in post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (“PASC,” i.e., long COVID). We are also developing OMS1029, our long-acting antibody targeting MASP-2, which we expect will be well-suited to indications requiring long-term, chronic administration. In addition, we have selected a development candidate for our MASP-2 small molecule program, which is advancing to Investigational New Drug (“IND”)-enabling studies targeting once-daily oral administration.
Commercial Product – YARTEMLEA
Our commercial product, YARTEMLEA, is the first and only approved inhibitor of the lectin pathway of complement. On December 23, 2025, FDA approved YARTEMLEA for the treatment of TA-TMA in adults and in children ages two years and older. TA-TMA is a severe and often-fatal complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in adults and children, driven by systemic endothelial injury triggered by conditioning regimens, immunosuppressants, infection, graft-versus-host disease, and other transplant-related factors. Activation of the lectin pathway of complement plays a central role in disease pathogenesis. YARTEMLEA selectively inhibits MASP-2, blocking pathway activation while preserving classical and alternative complement pathway functions important for host defense. In TA-TMA, MASP-2 inhibition prevents lectin pathway-mediated cellular injury, including endothelial damage in small blood vessels, and thrombus formation. Unlike other complement inhibitors, YARTEMLEA has no boxed warning and no Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS), and vaccinations are not required prior to treatment.
Commercial distribution and sales of YARTEMLEA began in January 2026. Both adult and pediatric patients with TA-TMA are now receiving YARTEMLEA, including patients who have recently failed prior off-label C5- and C3-inhibitor regimens, in both hospital and outpatient settings.
We are commercializing YARTEMLEA in the U.S. market and have deployed our field force of account managers and directors, market development managers, access leads, and medical science liaisons to engage directly with transplant centers across the U.S. There are 175 stem-cell transplant centers across the U.S., with the top 80 centers representing approximately 80% of procedures. Our field force is detailing all 175 transplant centers nationwide. By March 31, 2026, 30 unique accounts had ordered YARTEMLEA.
At this early stage, our primary launch objectives are fourfold: (i) educate the entire transplant care team, including transplant physicians, nurses, hospital pharmacies, and reimbursement teams, regarding the recently harmonized TA-TMA diagnostic criteria, thereby driving awareness, early diagnosis, and treatment of TA-TMA; (ii) support transplant centers in obtaining their pharmacy and therapeutic committee approvals and adding YARTEMLEA to their formularies to streamline the ordering process and facilitate access to YARTEMLEA in both the in- and out-patient settings; (iii) work with third-party payers to provide timely reimbursement consistent with the YARTEMLEA label and published diagnostic criteria; and (iv) finalize and prepare for publication of the health economics and outcomes research analysis using the strong clinical efficacy data and favorable safety profile of YARTEMLEA to demonstrate its compelling cost-effectiveness to healthcare providers and payors.
An MAA for YARTEMLEA in TA-TMA has been submitted to the EMA and is being reviewed under EMA’s centralized review procedure, which allows review of a single marketing authorization application. If the MAA is approved, it would authorize the product to be marketed in all European Union (“EU”) member states and European Economic Area countries. The European Commission has granted narsoplimab designation as an orphan medicinal product for treatment in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. For commercialization of YARTEMLEA outside the U.S., we are evaluating potential partnerships, including broad ex-U.S. and regional collaborations.
Sale of Zaltenibart / MASP-3
On November 25, 2025, we completed a transaction (the “Transaction”) pursuant to our Asset Purchase and Licensing Agreement (“APLA”) with Novo Nordisk Healthcare AG (“Novo Nordisk”) for our candidate drug zaltenibart (formerly OMS906). Zaltenibart is a first-in-class, late-stage clinical humanized monoclonal antibody targeting MASP-3, the most upstream and key activator of the alternative pathway of the complement system. Zaltenibart has shown multiple potential advantages over other alternative pathway inhibitors in development and on the market.
At the closing of the Transaction, we received an upfront cash payment of $240.0 million. In addition, we are eligible to receive (i) up to $510.0 million in one-time milestone payments upon the first achievement by Novo Nordisk or its affiliates or sublicensees of each of the development and approval milestone events as set forth in the APLA and (ii) up to $1.3 billion in one-time milestone payments upon the first achievement by Novo Nordisk or its affiliates or sublicensees of certain sales-based milestone events as set forth in the APLA. We are also eligible under the APLA to receive tiered royalties on annual net sales of products at percentage rates ranging from high single digit to high teens, subject to reduction in certain circumstances, as set forth in the APLA. In total, we are eligible to receive up to an additional $1.8 billion in potential development and commercial milestones, plus tiered royalties on net sales.
Pursuant to the APLA, we sold and transferred, and Novo Nordisk purchased zaltenibart and certain related assets, and the parties agreed to grant and receive certain intellectual property licenses to facilitate the continued development and commercialization activities of both companies. We retain rights to our MASP-3 small-molecule program unrelated to zaltenibart, including the ability to develop and commercialize small-molecule MASP-3 inhibitors, across a range of therapeutic areas, including, but not limited to, ophthalmology, neurology, gastrointestinal disorders, dermatology, musculoskeletal diseases, and oncology. We also retain rights to our “grandfathered” MASP-3 antibodies, with temporal and indication restrictions on commercialization and for use in advancing our small-molecule therapeutics.
In accordance with the APLA, at the closing of the Transaction, Omeros and Novo Nordisk entered into a transition services agreement (the “Transition Services Agreement”) pursuant to which we are providing certain transition services to Novo Nordisk to facilitate the transfer of the acquired assets and liabilities under the APLA and to provide for the continued operation of relevant studies and program activities during the applicable term. Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, Novo Nordisk reimburses us for costs and expenses we incur under the Transition Services Agreement, including third-party costs and expenses, costs associated with delivery of transition services by Omeros personnel on an hourly basis at rates specified in the Transition Services Agreement, and for our inventories of zaltenibart drug substance and product.
Other Development Programs
PDE7 Inhibitor Program
Our PDE7 inhibitor program, which we refer to as OMS527, comprises multiple PDE7 inhibitor compounds and is based on our discoveries of previously unknown links between PDE7 and any addiction or compulsive disorder, and between PDE7 and any movement disorder. In April 2023, we were awarded a grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (“NIDA”), part of the National Institutes of Health, to develop our lead orally administered PDE7 inhibitor compound, for which we have successfully completed a Phase 1 study, for the treatment of cocaine use disorder. With NIDA funding, we successfully completed preclinical cocaine interaction/toxicology studies to assess safety of the OMS527 compound when co-administered with cocaine. FDA subsequently requested additional nonclinical information prior to initiating the clinical in-patient study. Following a meeting with FDA to discuss that request, we are working with FDA to streamline the path to initiate the in-patient clinical trial, which which is targeted for initiation by year-end 2026.
Preclinical Program - OncotoX-AML
We continue to progress preclinical studies within our novel oncology program, which is focused on developing novel, proprietary large molecule therapeutics designed to selectively target and kill dividing cancer cells. We have completed selection of a drug development candidate, and IND-enabling studies are underway for this program, which we refer to as OncotoX-AML. Acute myeloid leukemia (“AML”), an aggressive and highly fatal bone marrow and blood cancer, is the lead indication for development. The effectiveness of current AML treatments, such as chemotherapeutics and antibody-drug conjugates, is limited by a number of factors, including high relapse rates and substantial side effects.
OncotoX-AML is an engineered biologic designed to selectively kill both AML blasts (abnormal myeloid cells) and relapse-related leukemia stem cells. Its unique mechanism of action is independent of myeloid cell genetic mutations, including TP53, NPM1, KMT2A, and FLT3, which are collectively found in approximately 90% of AML patients and are historically difficult to treat.
In February 2026, we announced the successful completion of our initial study in nonhuman primates evaluating the efficacy and safety of OncotoX-AML. Administration of only one course of OncotoX-AML treatment to immunocompetent primates demonstrated the desired pharmacologic response, specifically marked, selective, reversible, and dose-related reduction in myeloid progenitor cells — the cells that can mutate and lead to AML — by up to 99%. OncotoX-AML was well tolerated, without causing broader or lasting hematologic changes while preserving hematopoietic stem cells. There were no observed safety signals or meaningful changes in blood chemistry values often seen with current AML treatments.
In April 2025, we established the Omeros Oncology Clinical Steering Committee to help advance our OncotoX-AML program. The clinical steering committee is comprised of leaders in AML treatment and research at premier cancer centers. Together with this steering committee, we are designing our first in-human clinical trial.
IND-enabling studies and manufacturing development work is ongoing within our OncotoX-AML program with the goal of entering the clinic by late 2027.
Preclinical Program - T-CAT
We are also advancing our targeted complement activating therapy (“T-CAT”) platform: a new class of recombinant antibodies intended for broad action against pathogens, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites. T-CAT is designed to harness complement activation to kill pathogens directly, which represents a novel approach to infectious disease treatment.
As preclinical animal data continue to accumulate across multiple pathogen classes and species, we believe that T-CAT demonstrates potential against multidrug-resistant organisms (“MDROs”). Effective MDRO therapies remain one of the most urgent and unmet needs in medicine, and we believe that T-CAT has the potential to address this need without contributing to drug resistance. We are currently working to complete preclinical proof of concept studies and evaluate data for several infectious diseases.
Debt Financing Transactions
Exchange of 2026 Notes for 2029 Notes
On May 14, 2025, we completed the exchange (the “Convertible Note Exchange”) of $70.8 million of our 5.25% convertible senior notes (the “2026 Notes”) on a one-for-one basis for newly issued convertible senior notes maturing on June 15, 2029 (the “2029 Notes”). The Convertible Note Exchange was conducted with a limited number of holders of the 2026 Notes pursuant to exchange agreements dated as of May 12, 2025. The 2029 Notes are convertible at the option of the holders into shares of common stock, cash or a combination thereof, as elected by the Company, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. Holders who convert their 2029 Notes prior to June 1, 2029 (except for any conversion in connection with a make-whole fundamental change) are entitled to an interest make-whole payment equal to the sum of the remaining scheduled payments of interest that would have been made had the 2029 Notes remained outstanding from their conversion date through the earlier of (i) the date that is 18 months following their conversion date, and (ii) June 15, 2029, the maturity date. The initial conversion rate for the 2029 Notes is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $6.18 per share of our common stock. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.
The 2029 Notes include both a derivative for the interest make-whole feature and a derivative for the conversion feature available to holders allowing them to convert their notes to common stock, cash or a combination thereof. At each reporting date, we remeasure the embedded derivative instruments to fair market value. Increases or decreases in our stock price may materially affect the fair value of the derivative. The remeasurement of the derivative is presented in our condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). At contract inception, we recorded a net $23.0 million embedded derivative as a component of our 2029 Notes. See “Note 6 — Debt — 2029 Notes — Embedded Derivative” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details.
Repayment of Debt
On November 25, 2025, concurrent with the closing of the sale and licensing of zaltenibart to Novo Nordisk under the APLA, we were required under that certain Credit and Guarantee Agreement, dated June 3, 2024 (the “Credit Agreement”) to repay in full the $67.1 million principal balance outstanding (the “Term Loan”) along with a 5% prepayment premium. Repayment of our obligations under the Credit Agreement resulted in the release in full of all liens and covenants thereunder.
On February 17, 2026, we repaid the remaining $17.1 million aggregate principal balance outstanding on our 2026 Notes in full upon maturity.
Equity Financing Transactions
At the Market Sales Agreement
We have an “at the market” (“ATM”) facility agreement under which we have the capability to sell shares of our common stock from time to time, through an ATM equity offering program. On November 14, 2025, the Company filed a shelf registration statement and prospectus supplement renewing the ATM program for an aggregate offering price up to $150.0 million. We did not sell any shares under the ATM program during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Share Repurchase Programs
On November 29, 2025, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which we are permitted to repurchase from time to time up to $100.0 million of our common stock in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we repurchased and retired 0.4 million shares of common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program, at an average cost of $11.70 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $4.2 million.
Financial Summary
As of March 31, 2026, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $135.3 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, our cash used in operations was $14.5 million.

Distribution and sales of our only commercial product, YARTEMLEA, commenced in January 2026. Product sales, net for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $9.9 million, compared to no product revenue for the same period in the prior year. Revenue in the current period reflects initial sales of YARTEMLEA to wholesalers in the U.S.
As this represents the first period of commercial sales, period-over-period comparisons are limited, and revenue mayfluctuate in future periods as we continue to expand patient access and physician adoption.
Product sales, net were as follows:

Gross-to-Net Deductions
We record YARTEMLEA product sales net of estimated chargebacks and distribution fees, or gross-to-net deductions. Gross-to-net deductions are estimates based on contractual terms and expected utilization and require some judgment. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, no chargebacks were recorded related to Medicaid claims. As this represents the initial period of commercial sales, these estimates are preliminary and subject to change as additional information becomes available. A summary of our gross-to-net related accruals for the three months ended March 31, 2026 is as follows:

Chargebacks
We record a provision for estimated chargebacks when YARTEMLEA product sales are recognized and reduce the accrual as payments are made or credits are granted. Chargebacks represent the difference between the price we charge wholesalers and the contracted or statutorily required prices available to eligible purchasers under government programs, including our federal supply schedule agreement, and are estimated based on known pricing terms and expected utilization.
Distribution Fees
We pay our wholesalers a distribution fee for services they perform for us based on the dollar value of their purchases of YARTEMLEA. We record a provision for these charges as a reduction to revenue at the time of sale to the wholesaler and make payments to our wholesalers based on contractual terms.

Cost of product sold for the period was low, primarily reflecting the sale of inventory manufactured prior to regulatory approval, for which the associated manufacturing costs were expensed as research and development in prior periods. Accordingly, this inventory carries a low or no cost basis, resulting in lower cost of product sold and higher gross margin during the initial commercialization period.
Research and Development Expenses
Our research and development expenses can be divided into three categories: direct external expenses, which include clinical research and development and preclinical research and development activities; internal overhead and other expenses; and stock-based compensation expense. Direct external expenses consist primarily of expenses incurred pursuant to agreements with third-party manufacturing organizations prior to receiving regulatory approval for a product candidate, contract research organizations, clinical trial sites, collaborators, licensors and consultants. Preclinical research and development includes costs prior to beginning Phase 1 studies in human subjects. Internal overhead and other expenses primarily consist of costs for personnel, overhead, rent, utilities and depreciation. Our accounting policy is to expense all manufacturing costs related to product candidates until regulatory approval is reasonably assured in either the U.S. or EU.
The following table illustrates our expenses associated with these activities:

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, clinical research and development expenses decreased $7.2 million as compared to the prior year period as a result of reduced expenditures on OMS906 due to the sale of zaltenibart to Novo Nordisk. Internal overhead and other expenses decreased $2.8 million as compared to the prior year period primarily due to Novo Nordisk reimbursing the Company for hours worked under the Transition Services Agreement and decreased employee compensation costs.
We expect research and development expenses in the second quarter of 2026 to be higher than in the first quarter of this year, driven primarily by increased investment in our YARTEMLEA and broader lectin pathway inhibitor programs as well as in our OncotoX-AML program, including costs associated with manufacturing and related activities, clinical development efforts, and regulatory support for our YARTEMLEA MAA in Europe.
At this time, we are unable to estimate with certainty the longer-term costs we will incur in the continued development of our product candidates due to the inherently unpredictable nature of our preclinical and clinical development activities. Clinical development timelines, the probability of success and development costs can differ materially as new data become available and as expectations change. Our future research and development expenses will depend, in part, on the preclinical or clinical success of each product candidate as well as ongoing assessments of each program’s commercial potential. In addition, we cannot forecast with precision which product candidates, if any, may be subject to future collaborations, when such arrangements will be secured, if at all, and to what degree such arrangements would affect our development plans and capital requirements.
We are required to expend substantial resources in the development of our product candidates due to the lengthy process of completing clinical trials and seeking regulatory approval. Any failure or delay in completing clinical trials, or in obtaining regulatory approvals, could delay our generation of product revenue and increase our research and development expenses.

Total selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, increased $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to the build-out of our U.S. commercial organization, including the hiring of a sales force and increased marketing and market access activities in support of the YARTEMLEA launch.
The $0.3 million decrease in stock-based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year is due to the valuation and timing of the vesting of employee stock options.
We expect selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2026 to be higher than in the first quarter of 2026, driven primarily by increased selling and marketing activities associated with YARTEMLEA.

Interest on our OMIDRIA royalty obligation is calculated under the effective interest method and represents a portion of the royalties remitted by Rayner to our administrative agent, Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, along with principal. Pass-through interest paid to DRI is offset by non-cash remeasurement adjustments taken to properly reflect the OMIDRIA royalty obligation for changes in probable cash flows on our future expected Rayner royalties.
Contractual interest expense is comprised of cash interest paid during the year and the net change in accrued interest. Amortization of debt discounts, premiums and issuance costs are reflected as non-cash interest expense. Debt discounts on the 2026 Notes and 2029 Notes are accretive whereas the premium on the Term Loan is deducted from contractual interest expense.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, interest expense increased $2.2 million compared to the same period in 2025. The increase primarily relates to incurring a full quarter of interest on our 2029 Notes, which were not yet issued in the same period in the prior year, and to a lesser extent a non-cash remeasurement of our OMIDRIA royalty obligation. These increases are partiallyoffset by decreases in interest related to the remainder of our 2026 Notes, which were repaid in February 2026, and the Term Loan, which was repaid in November 2025.
For further information see “Note 6 — Debt” and “Note 8 – OMIDRIA Royalty Obligation” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We expect interest expense for the second quarter of 2026 to be higher than in the first quarter of 2026, assuming no remeasurement adjustment to the OMIDRIA contract royalty obligation.

We expect interest and other income for the second quarter of 2026 to be higher than in the first quarter of 2026.

Our embedded derivatives comprise call and put options related to our 2029 Notes and Term Loan. As of March 31, 2026, the $73.1 million net gain on the embedded derivatives reflects marking to market the option of the holders of the 2029 Notes to convert their notes into shares of common stock, cash or a combination thereof. As of March 31, 2026, we no longer have the derivative on our Term Loan as it was repaid on November 25, 2025.
Swings in our stock price could significantly affect the valuation of the 2029 Note conversion derivative. In addition, a decrease in interest rates could increase the valuation of the derivative.

Financial Condition – Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2026, we had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $135.3 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, our cash used in operations was $14.5 million.
On February 17, 2026, we repaid at maturity the remaining $17.1 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of our 2026 Notes. Omeros expects that it will be able to fund more than 12 months of operations from the date the financial statements are issued, utilizing our current cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, along with funds we expect to receive from commercial sales of YARTEMLEA.
Should it be necessary or determined to be strategically advantageous, we also could pursue public and private offerings of our equity securities, debt transactions or restructurings, future royalty sales, or other strategic transactions, which may include licensing or selling a portion or all of one or more of our existing technologies. In addition, we have an ATM facility agreement under which we have the capability to sell shares of our common stock, from time to time, in an ATM equity offering through which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock equaling an aggregate amount of up to $150.0 million.

Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased $21.3 million as compared to the same period in 2025, driven primarily by a $89.5 million change in net income from a net loss in the prior year period, partiallyoffset by a $73.1 million non-cash remeasurement of our 2029 Notes embedded derivative. Other changes related to a $4.1 million reduction in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Investing Activities. Cash flows provided by investing activities primarily reflects cash used to purchase short-term investments and proceeds from the sale of those investments. This frequently causes a shift between our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investment balances. As we manage our usage with respect to total cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, we do not consider fluctuations in cash flows from investing activities to be important to the understanding of our liquidity and capital resources.
Net cash provided by investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased $9.8 million, reflecting the timing of purchase of investments from proceeds received on maturities and sales.
Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased $20.1 million compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the repayment of $17.1 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2026 Notes at maturity in February 2026 and the repurchase of $4.2 million of our common stock under our share repurchase program during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Our future minimum contractual commitments and obligations were reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Other than the following, our future minimum contractual obligations and commitments have not changed materially from the amounts previously reported. See “Note 10 — Commitments and Contingencies” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Operating Leases
Our lease for our office and laboratory space ends in November 2027. We have two options to extend the lease term, each by five years. In addition, we carry various finance lease obligations for laboratory and office equipment. As of March 31, 2026, the remaining aggregate non-cancelable rent payable under the initial term of the lease, excluding common area maintenance and related operating expenses, is $11.1 million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience, current conditions and other factors we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances; however, actual results could differ materially from those estimates. We consider an accounting policy to be critical if it requires significant judgment and has a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue from product sales when title of the product is transferred to our customers, which generally occurs upon delivery to wholesalers. At that point, our performance obligations are satisfied. Activities performed by wholesalers after delivery are not considered separate performance obligations.
We generally record revenue from product sales when the product is delivered to our wholesalers and title for the product is transferred, upon which we have satisfied our performance obligations. Fulfillment activities by the wholesalers are not considered to be a separate performance obligation. Product revenue is recorded net of variable consideration, including wholesaler distribution fees, chargebacks, returns and discounts. We estimate variable consideration using the expected value approach. This estimate is based on several factors, including: historical return rates, expiration date by product, estimated levels of inventory in the wholesale channel. Since there is often a timing lag between the product sale and the settlement of accruals relating to these programs, our net product revenue may incorporate revisions of accruals for several periods. We include such estimates in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
Chargebacks represent discounts provided to eligible covered entities under government programs, including the 340B Drug Pricing Program and the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program. In addition, we are subject to pricing obligations under our Federal Supply Schedule agreement with the U.S. government (the “FSS Agreement”), which establishes maximum prices for sales to certain federal agencies and may give rise to additional discounts and rebates. Chargebacks are recorded as a reduction of gross product revenue at the time of sale. Reserves for chargebacks are generally recorded as reductions of accounts receivable, while reserves for Medicaid rebates and patient co-pay assistance, if applicable, are recorded as accrued liabilities.
We also maintain programs that may give rise to similar deductions, including patient co-pay assistance programs. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, chargebacks were primarily attributable to discounts under the 340B Drug Pricing Program, and no material reductions to gross product revenue were recorded for other programs. We will continue to evaluate utilization of these programs and recognize the related reductions to revenue in the period in which they occur.
For further details of our other Critical Accounting Policies, see “Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the SEC on March 31, 2026.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our exposure to market risk is primarily confined to our investment securities, debt instruments and embedded derivatives.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Short-Term Investments
Our exposure to market risk is primarily confined to our investment securities. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve our capital to fund operations, and we do not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We also seek to maximize income from our investments without assuming significant risk. To achieve our objectives, we maintain a portfolio of investments in high-credit-quality securities. As of March 31, 2026, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $135.3 million. In accordance with our investment policy, we invest funds in highly liquid, investment-grade securities. The money market funds in our investment portfolio are not leveraged and are classified as available-for-sale. We currently do not hedge interest rate exposure. Because of the short-term maturities of our investments, we do not believe that an increase in market rates would have a material negative effect on the realized value of our investment portfolio. We actively monitor changes in interest rates and, with our current portfolio of short-term investments, we are not exposed to significant potential loss due to changes in interest rates.
Convertible Notes, Term Debt, and Embedded Derivatives
As of March 31, 2026, we had fixed-rate borrowings from our 2029 Notes, and as of December 31, 2025, we had fixed-rate borrowings from our 2026 Notes and 2029 Notes. We record all our fixed-rate borrowings at carrying value and, therefore, do not experience any risk for changes in interest rates. However, we include an embedded derivative along with our debt in our reporting of our 2029 Notes. The derivative on our 2029 Notes is marked to fair value every reporting period. The fair value inputs to the 2029 Notes’ derivative valuation include stock price, unsecuritized discount rate, risk-free rate, volatility, and term. Swings in our stock price could significantly affect the valuation of the 2029 Note conversion derivative. In addition, a decrease in interest rates could increase the valuation of the derivative. As of March 31, 2026, a 20% decrease or increase in our stock price would result in an approximate $23.8 million change in the fair value of the 2029 Notes embedded derivative within the range of $60.2 million to $107.0 million.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of March 31, 2026. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) under the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, in the ordinary course of business, we may be involved in various claims, lawsuits and other proceedings. As of the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we were not involved in any material legal proceedings.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
We operate in an environment that involves a number of risks and uncertainties. Before making an investment decision you should carefully consider the risks described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2026. In assessing the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, you should also refer to the other information included therein and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the supplemental risk factor below. In addition, we may be adversely affected by risks that we currently deem to be immaterial or by other risks that are not currently known to us. Due to these risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, our past financial results may not be a reliable indicator of future performance and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Our share repurchase program could affect the price of our common stock and increase volatility and may be suspended or terminated at any time, which may result in a decrease in the trading price of our common stock.
In November 2025, our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program to repurchase, from time to time, up to $100.0 million of our common stock in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. The share repurchase program does not have a fixed expiration date, may be suspended or discontinued at any time, and does not obligate us to acquire any amount of our common stock. The timing, manner, price, and amount of any repurchases may be determined by us at our discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including business, economic and market conditions, prevailing stock prices, corporate and regulatory requirements, and other considerations. As of May 11, 2026, approximately $95.9 million remained available to repurchase our outstanding shares of common stock under the share repurchase program.
Repurchases pursuant to our share repurchase program could affect our stock price and increase its volatility. The existence of a share repurchase program could also cause our stock price to be higher than it would be in the absence of such a program and could potentially reduce the market liquidity for our common stock. There can be no assurance that any repurchases will enhance shareholder value because the market price of our common stock may decline below the levels at which we repurchased our common stock. Although our share repurchase program is intended to enhance long-term shareholder value, short-term stock price fluctuations could reduce the share repurchase program’s effectiveness.
