Income and Revenue : Income and revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, were $13.8 million and $8.7 million, respectively. Income and revenues for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, were $52.1 million and $28.5 million, respectively. The increase in both periods was primarily driven by increased income related to VABYSMO® (faricimab-svoa) and OJEMDA™ (tovorafenib) and milestone payments received from Rezolute and Takeda. General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses : G&A expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, were $10.4 million and $7.0 million, respectively. G&A expenses for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, were $36.1 million and $34.5 million, respectively. The increase of $1.6 million in 2025 was primarily due to an increase in business development and deal-related costs of $3.7 million and an increase in lease costs of $1.0 million primarily related to the HilleVax acquisition partially offset by $3.6 million in costs related to exit packages for Kinnate senior leadership in 2024. G&A expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025, also include an increase of approximately $1.1 million associated with ongoing litigation initiated by XOMA Royalty against Janssen Biotech, Inc., asserting claims for breach of contract and unjust enrichment arising from Janssen's unauthorized use of XOMA’s intellectual property in the commercialization of TREMFYA (guselkumab).
