Xencor Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results
PASADENA, Calif.--August 6, 2025-- Xencor, Inc. (NASDAQ:XNCR), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing engineered antibodies for the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 and provided recent business and clinical program updates.
"Xencor is focused on execution of our clinical studies, evaluating four wholly owned XmAb® drug candidates in cancer and advanced autoimmune-driven diseases,” said Bassil Dahiyat, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer at Xencor. “In oncology, these include two T-cell engager (TCE) programs, XmAb819 and XmAb541, which continue to progress through dose-escalation studies. We are on-track to present preliminary safety and efficacy from XmAb819 in advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma later this year.”
“In our autoimmune portfolio, we recently initiated the Phase 2b XENITH-UC study of XmAb942, our potential best-in-class antibody targeting TL1A for inflammatory bowel disease, to rapidly identify a pivotal dose regimen for those with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. Also, in June we were granted regulatory authorization to proceed with the proof-of-concept study of plamotamab, our CD20 B-cell depleting TCE, in rheumatoid arthritis. For the remainder of the year, we expect to continue our global rollout of the XENITH-UC and plamotamab studies, and we also remain on-track to start a proof-of-concept study of XmAb657, our novel CD19 B-cell depleting TCE for the treatment of patients with autoimmune disease.”
Clinical Program Updates
Oncology
XmAb819 (ENPP3 x CD3), a first-in-class, tumor-targeted, T-cell engaging 2+1 bispecific antibody in development for patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). XmAb819 engages the immune system and activates T cells for highly potent and targeted lysis of tumor cells expressing ENPP3. Xencor is conducting a Phase 1 study to evaluate XmAb819 in patients with advanced ccRCC and plans to present initial dose-escalation data at a medical conference during the fourth quarter of 2025.
XmAb541 (CLDN6 x CD3), a first-in-class, tumor-targeted, T-cell engaging 2+1 bispecific antibody in development for patients with advanced solid tumors expressing CLDN6. Like XmAb819, XmAb541 engages the immune system and activates T cells for highly potent and targeted lysis of tumor cells expressing CLDN6. A Phase 1 dose-escalation study to evaluate XmAb541 in patients with ovarian cancer, germ cell tumors, and other CLDN6-expressing tumor types is ongoing, with characterization of target dose levels anticipated to begin during 2025.



Autoimmune & Inflammatory Diseases
Plamotamab (CD20 x CD3), a clinical stage, B-cell depleting bispecific T-cell engager for development in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Xencor is evaluating plamotamab in a Phase 1b/2a proof-of-concept study, for patients with RA have progressed through prior standard-of-care treatment. In June 2025, Xencor received regulatory authorization to proceed with the study.

XmAb942 (Xtend™ anti-TL1A), a potential best-in-class, high-potency, extended half-life antibody in development for patients with inflammatory bowel disease. In the first half of 2025, Xencor presented initial data from a Phase 1 study of XmAb942 in healthy volunteers. The results showed that XmAb942 was well tolerated at single and multiple doses and had a greater than 71-day half-life, which supports an every 12-week dosing in maintenance. Xencor recently initiated the global XENITH-UC Study, a Phase 2b study of XmAb942 in ulcerative colitis (UC). XENITH-UC is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in patients with moderate-to-severe UC, whose disease has progressed after at least one conventional or advanced therapy.
Recent Partnership Developments
Incyte Corporation: In June 2025, Incyte announced that Monjuvi was approved by the FDA for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma in combination with rituximab and lenalidomide. The approval was based on data from Incyte’s pivotal Phase 3 inMIND trial. Xencor earned a $25 million regulatory milestone payment in addition to non-cash royalty revenue from sales of Monjuvi®/Minjuvi® for the second quarter of 2025. Monjuvi® and Minjuvi® are registered trademarks of Incyte.
Additional Corporate Updates
In July, Xencor appointed Raymond Deshaies, Ph.D., to its board of directors. Dr. Deshaies is a pioneering biochemist and cell biologist with more than 25 years of experience in biotechnology and drug development. He recently served as senior vice president of global research at Amgen Inc., where he oversaw all research activities, including the nomination of over 50 clinical candidates, expansion of Amgen’s capabilities for discovering and optimizing multispecific drug candidates, and application of generative protein design to biologics discovery.
Financial Guidance: Based on current operating plans, Xencor expects to end 2025 with between $555 million and $585 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities, and to have cash to fund research and development programs and operations into 2028.
Financial Results for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2025
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities totaled $663.8 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to $706.7 million as of December 31, 2024.
Revenue for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 was $43.6 million, compared to $23.9 million for the same period in 2024. Revenue earned in the second quarter of 2025 was



primarily milestone revenue from Incyte and non-cash royalty revenue from Alexion and Incyte, compared to the same period in 2024, which was primarily non-cash royalty revenue from Alexion and Incyte and licensing revenue from multiple licensees.
Research and development (R&D) expenses for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 were $61.7 million, compared to $61.5 million for the same period in 2024. R&D spending for the second quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 reflects increased spending on XmAb819, XmAb541 and XmAb657 (CD19 x CD3), offset by reduced wind-down costs on terminated programs.
General and administrative (G&A) expenses for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 were $15.1 million, compared to $17.7 million for the same period in 2024. Decreased G&A spending for the second quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 is primarily due to lower stock compensation expense.
Other income (expense), net, for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 was $2.1 million, compared to $(13.4) million for the same period in 2024. The increase for the second quarter of 2025, compared to 2024, is primarily driven by unrealized gains from marketable equity securities.
Net loss attributable to Xencor for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 was $30.8 million, or $(0.41) on a fully diluted per share basis, compared to net loss of $67.3 million, or $(1.09) on a fully diluted per share basis, for the same period in 2024.
