15.Segment Information

The Company manages its operations on a consolidated basis as a single reportable segment focused on the research and development of immunology-based therapies. The accounting policies of the single reportable segment are identical to those described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Account Policies to these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. When evaluating the Company’s financial performance, the Company’s chief operating decision-maker (the “CODM”), its Chief Executive Officer regularly reviews consolidated net loss, total expense and direct expenses by program and compared to budget. The CODM allocates resources based on the Company’s available cash resources, and forecasted expenditures on a consolidated basis, as well as an assessment of the probability of success of its research and development activities on a program basis. Segment asset information regularly provided to the CODM is consistent with that reported on the consolidated balance sheets with particular emphasis on the Company’s available liquidity, including its cash, cash equivalents and investment balances. Revenue is primarily attributed to individual countries based on the entity owning the license. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recognized $10.0 million of revenue, which was attributed to Zenas BioPharma Inc. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recognized $11.0 million of revenue, which $1.0 million was attributed to Zenas HK and $10.0 million was attributed to Zenas BioPharma Inc. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company did not recognize any revenue and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized $10.0 million of revenue which was attributed to Zenas HK.
