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
