Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis provide information which our management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. In addition to historical financial information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon our current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth in the section titled “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Overview

We are a global oncology company focused on tackling some of the toughest challenges in cancer treatment with the goal of developing therapies that create a profound, positive impact on patients’ lives. We were founded in 2018 by our chief executive officer, David Hung, M.D., who founded Medivation, Inc. and led its successful development of oncology drugs Xtandi® and talazoparib (now marketed as Talzenna®), leading to its $14.3 billion sale to Pfizer Inc. (“Pfizer”) in 2016. We leverage our team’s extensive expertise in medicinal chemistry, preclinical development, drug development, business development, manufacturing, and commercialization to pursue oncology targets validated by strong clinical or preclinical data and develop novel small molecules that improve the activity and overcome the liabilities of currently marketed drugs.

We commercially launched IBTROZI in the U.S. in June 2025, following its approval by the FDA on June 11, 2025 for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic ROS1-positive (“ROS1+”) non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”). Taletrectinib has also been approved by Japan’s MHLW and by China’s NMPA for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic ROS1+ NSCLC. Taletrectinib is being commercialized in Japan by our partner NK under the brand name IBTROZI and in China by our partner Innovent under the brand name DOVBLERON®. Taletrectinib has been granted Orphan Drug Designation by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of patients with ROS1+ NSCLC and other NSCLC indications, and was previously granted Breakthrough Therapy Designations by both the U.S. FDA and China’s NMPA for the treatment of both TKI-naïve and TKI-pretreated patients with locally advanced or metastatic ROS1+ NSCLC. In January 2026, we announced a partnership with Eisai to commercialize taletrectinib in Europe and other territories outside the U.S., China and Japan. In March 2026, we announced that the European Medicines Agency had validated the Marketing Authorisation Application (“MAA”) for taletrectinib for the treatment of advanced ROS1+ NSCLC. In June 2026, we announced that the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the United Kingdom had validated the MAA submitted by its partner Eisai for taletrectinib for the treatment of advanced ROS1+ NSCLC.

Taletrectinib continues to be evaluated for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic ROS1+ NSCLC in two Phase 2 single-arm pivotal studies: TRUST-I in China, and TRUST-II, a global study, as well as in a confirmatory randomized Phase 3 study versus crizotinib in China known as TRUST-III. Taletrectinib is also being evaluated for the adjuvant treatment of patients with resected ROS1+ early-stage NSCLC in a global Phase 3, placebo-controlled study known as TRUST-IV.

In addition to taletrectinib, our clinical stage pipeline includes safusidenib, a novel, oral, potent, brain penetrant, targeted inhibitor of mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (“mIDH1”). Safusidenib is being evaluated against placebo in the SIGMA study, which is a randomized Phase 3 study for the maintenance treatment of patients with IDH1-mutant astrocytoma with high-risk features.

Recent Developments

•
In April 2026, we amended the existing exclusive license agreement for safusidenib with Daiichi Sankyo to include Japan in the territory rights licensed to us, effectively securing exclusive global safusidenib development and commercialization rights for the Company.

•
In May 2026, we announced the FDA had accepted a supplemental New Drug Application with updated data for IBTROZI in both TKI-naïve and TKI-pretreated advanced ROS1+ NSCLC with a target action date of January 4, 2027.

•
In June 2026, we announced that the MHRA in the United Kingdom had validated the Marketing Authorisation Application submitted by our partner Eisai for taletrectinib for the treatment of advanced ROS1+ NSCLC.

•
In July 2026, we completed our registered underwritten public offering of $287.5 million aggregate principal amount of 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2032 (the “Notes”), including $37.5 million aggregate principal amount of Notes issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the overallotment option granted by us to the underwriters.

•
In July 2026, we announced we will initiate two new studies to evaluate safusidenib across the broader landscape of IDH1-mutant glioma: a pivotal Phase 3 study in patients with grade 2 IDH1-mutant glioma outside the U.S, and a Phase 2 study in patients with grade 2 or 3 IDH1-mutant glioma who have progressed after prior treatment with vorasidenib in the U.S.

Financial Overview

Since our inception in 2018, we have focused substantially all of our resources on conducting research and development activities, including drug discovery, preclinical studies, clinical trials, establishing and maintaining our intellectual property portfolio, developing our manufacturing network and managing the manufacture of clinical and research material, hiring personnel, raising capital and providing general and administrative support for these operations. Our revenue related to its out-licensing collaborative agreements consists of product revenue, upfront license fees and milestone payments, royalty revenue and research and development services revenue from its collaboration agreements. We have funded our operations to date primarily from the issuance and sale of our common and preferred stock, including through the Merger and a Private Investment in Public Equity ("PIPE") financing in connection with the Merger.

We have incurred net losses in each year since inception. As of June 30, 2026 we had an accumulated deficit of $1,172.8 million. Substantially all of our net losses have resulted from costs incurred in connection with our research and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations as well as a charge related to the acquisition of an in-process research and development asset. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses over at least the next several years. We expect our expenses will increase substantially in connection with our ongoing activities, as we:

•
advance product candidates through clinical trials;

•
pursue regulatory approval of product candidates;

•
operate as a public company;

•
continue our preclinical programs and clinical development efforts;

•
continue research activities for the discovery of new product candidates; and

•
manufacture supplies for our preclinical studies and clinical trials.

In addition, we expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company, including significant legal, audit, accounting, regulatory, tax-related, director and officer insurance, investor relations and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. As a result, we will need substantial additional funding to support our continuing operations and pursue our growth strategy. Until such time as we can generate significant revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through the public or private sale of equity, government or private party grants, debt financings or other capital sources, including potential collaborations with other companies or other strategic transactions. If we are unable to obtain additional funding, we could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate some or all of our research and development programs, product portfolio expansion or any commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect our business prospects, or we may be unable to continue operations. If we raise funds through strategic collaborations or other similar arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our platform technology, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or may have to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us and/or may reduce the value of our Common Stock. Our ability to raise additional funds may be adversely impacted by potential worsening global economic conditions and disruptions to and volatility in the credit and financial markets in the United States and worldwide. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development, we cannot predict the timing or amount of increased expenses or when or if we will be able to achieve or maintain profitability.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

Prior to our commercialization of IBTROZI, substantially all of our revenue was generated from payments under prior collaboration agreements, and milestones, royalties and other revenue from our licensing arrangements. To date, these collaborative arrangements have included out-licenses of and options to out-license in-licensed compounds to other parties. These arrangements may include non-refundable upfront payments, contingent obligations for potential development, regulatory and commercial performance milestone payments, cost reimbursement arrangements and royalty payments. Our revenue related to our out-licensing collaborative agreements consists of product revenue, upfront license fees, milestone payments, royalty revenue and research and development services revenue from its collaboration agreements.

We receive payments from our customers based on billing terms established in the contract. Up-front payments and fees are recorded as contract liabilities (e.g., deferred revenue) upon receipt or when due until we perform our obligations under the arrangement. In the event of an early termination of a collaboration agreement, any contract liabilities would be recognized in the period in which all our obligations under the agreement have been fulfilled.

Cost of Sales

25

Cost of sales consists of direct and indirect costs related to the manufacturing and distribution of IBTROZI, including raw materials, third-party manufacturing costs, third-party royalties payable on our products sales, net and amortization of capitalized intangible assets associated with IBTROZI.

Cost of Collaboration and License Agreements Revenue

Cost of collaboration and license agreements revenue includes royalties on net sales of IBTROZI owed to our licensing partner and the proportion of expense recognized under the terms of our collaboration agreements.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses include:

•
expenses incurred under agreements with third-party contract organizations, and consultants;

•
costs related to production of drug substance, including fees paid to contract manufacturers;

•
laboratory and vendor expenses related to the execution of preclinical trials; and

•
employee-related expenses, which include salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation.

We expense all research and development costs in the periods in which they are incurred. Costs for certain development activities are recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks and estimates of services performed using information

As a result, we will need substantial additional funding to support our continuing operations and pursue our growth strategy. Until such time as we can generate significant revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through the public or private sale of equity, government or private party grants, debt financings or other capital sources, including potential collaborations with other companies or other strategic transactions. If we are unable to obtain additional funding, we could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate some or all of our research and development programs, product portfolio expansion or any commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect our business prospects, or we may be unable to continue operations. If we raise funds through strategic collaborations or other similar arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our platform technology, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or may have to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us and/or may reduce the value of our Common Stock. Our ability to raise additional funds may be adversely impacted by potential worsening global economic conditions and disruptions to and volatility in the credit and financial markets in the United States and

worldwide. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development, we cannot predict the timing or amount of increased expenses or when or if we will be able to achieve or maintain profitability.

On March 3, 2025, we announced the closing of a non-dilutive financing of up to $250.0 million from Sagard. The financing is comprised of a $150.0 million synthetic royalty financing and a $100.0 million senior secured term loan. The $150 million from the synthetic royalty financing and the first $50.0 million tranche of the term loan was funded on June 25, 2025 upon FDA’s approval of IBTROZI. The transaction will support the U.S. launch of IBTROZI and general corporate purposes.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenues

We receive payments from our customers based on billing terms established in the contract. Up-front payments and fees are recorded as contract liabilities (e.g., deferred revenue) upon receipt or when due until we perform our obligations under the arrangement. In the event of an early termination of a collaboration agreement, any contract liabilities would be recognized in the period in which all our obligations under the agreement have been fulfilled.
