Overview

U.S. biopharma firm's Q1 revenue fell yr/yr, mainly on lower Gilead collaboration revenue

Q1 net loss widened from a year ago

Company ended Q1 with $876 mln in cash, expects runway into at least H2 2028

Outlook

Arcus expects full-year 2026 GAAP revenue between $50 mln and $65 mln

Company expects to end 2026 with about $600 mln in cash

Arcus anticipates R&D expenses to decline in the near term as domvanalimab studies wind down

Result Drivers

LOWER COLLABORATION REVENUE - Revenue decline was mainly due to lower development services revenue from the Gilead collaboration

SHIFT IN R&D SPENDING - Flat R&D expenses reflected increased investment in casdatifan and quemliclustat, offset by the wind-down of domvanalimab studies and reduced early-stage costs

COST REDUCTION INITIATIVES - Streamlining of R&D operations and efficiencies outside the Gilead collaboration are expected to reduce costs, partially offset by increased investment in casdatifan and inflammation programs
