  1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The accompanying interim condensed financial statements and related disclosures are unaudited, have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods presented.

The condensed results of operations for this interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or for any other future year or interim period. The accompanying condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies this interim period as compared to the significant accounting policies disclosed in “Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the “Notes to Financial Statements” included in Part II, Item 8 of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement

In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 during the interim period ended March 31, 2026 on a prospective basis and elected to apply the practical expedient to its current accounts receivable. Under this expedient, the Company assumes that current economic conditions as of the balance sheet date remain unchanged for the remaining contractual life of these receivables. The adoption of ASU 2025-05 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which enhances transparency in income statement disclosures. ASU 2024-03 requires entities to disclose detailed information about specific components of income statement expenses, such as employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization, as well as other significant expense categories. The objective is to provide financial statement users with greater insight into the nature and variability of expenses, improving their ability to analyze financial performance and make informed decisions. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt this ASU during the year ended December 31, 2027 on a prospective basis and is currently evaluating the impact on its financial statements.

  1. Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated by using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, plus potential dilutive common stock during the period. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share in the period when the effect of the potentially dilutive securities is anti-dilutive. The pre-funded warrants have been included in both the basic and diluted EPS calculation.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share:

  1. Fair Value Measurements and Investments

The Company determines the fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities using the fair value hierarchy, which establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, as follows:

Level I: Inputs which include quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level II: Inputs other than Level I that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level III: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The Company’s financial instruments are comprised of Level I and Level II assets, consisting primarily of highly liquid money market funds which are included in cash equivalents and restricted cash, and U.S. Treasury securities which are included in short-term investments. The Company's U.S. Treasury securities are classified as Level II marketable securities and are valued using third-party pricing sources, which can include observable market prices, interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals for similar assets as observable inputs for pricing.

The following tables set forth the fair value of the Company’s investments subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis and the level of inputs used in such measurements:

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, interest receivable of$1.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, primarily related to short- term investments are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets.

As of March 31, 2026, the remaining contractual terms of the U.S. Treasury securities are less than a year. Based on the scheduled maturities of our marketable securities, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that it will hold these marketable securities to maturity for a recovery of our cost basis.

Amgen, Inc.

On September 29, 2017, the Company and Amgen, Inc. (“Amgen”) entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “Amgen Agreement”). Pursuant to the Amgen Agreement, the Company received an upfront payment of $40.0 million in October 2017. Concurrent with the Amgen Agreement, the Company and Amgen entered into a Share Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Amgen purchased 1,156,069 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $17.30 per share for total proceeds of $20.0 million.

Under the terms of the Amgen Agreement, as amended, the Company and Amgen were co-developing a conditionally activated T-cell engager (“TCE”) targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (the “EGFR Products”). The Company was responsible for early-stage development of EGFR Products and Amgen was to be responsible for late-stage development and commercialization of EGFR Products. Amgen had the right to select a total of up tothree targets, including thetwo additional targets. The Company and Amgen collaborated in the research and development of conditionally activated T-cell engaging bispecifics therapies directed against such targets. Amgen had selectedone such target (the “Amgen Other Product”). Except with respect to preclinical activities to be conducted by CytomX, Amgen would have been responsible, at its expense, for the development, manufacture, and commercialization of all Amgen Products.

In January 2022, the IND for the EGFR Products (“CX-904”) was allowed to proceed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and the program progressed into Phase 1 dose escalation. In March 2025, CytomX and Amgen jointly decided to not continue CX-904 development and Amgen terminated its license to the EGFR Products. As a result, all of the remaining deferred revenue of the EGFR Products was recognized in the first quarter of 2025 due to Amgen terminating its license to the EGFR Products effective May 2025. In April 2025, the Amgen Other Product was also terminated with 60 days written notice pursuant to the Amgen Agreement. The Amgen research collaboration remains in effect with the current scope being the preclinical TCE that CytomX selected from Amgen’s preclinical pipeline further discussed below.

At the initiation of the collaboration, CytomX had the option to select from programs specified in the Amgen Agreement, an existing preclinical stage TCE product from the Amgen preclinical pipeline. In March 2018, CytomX selected the programand this program, CX-908, a PROBODY T cell engager targeting CDH3 and CD3, is currently in preclinical development. CytomX is responsible, at its expense, for converting this program to a conditionally activated TCE product, and thereafter, will be responsible for development, manufacturing, and commercialization of the product (“CytomX Product”). Amgen is eligible to receive up to $203.0 million in development, regulatory, and commercial milestone payments for the CytomX Product, and tiered mid-single digit to low double-digit percentage royalties.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had completed its performance obligations related to the EGFR Products and the Amgen Other Products and recognized all deferred revenue.

Astellas Pharma Inc.

The Company and Astellas Pharma, Inc. (“Astellas”) entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “Astellas Agreement”) on March 23, 2020, the effective date, to collaborate on preclinical research activities to discover and develop certain antibody compounds for the treatment of cancer using the Company’s PROBODY therapeutic technology.

Under the terms of the Astellas Agreement, the Company granted Astellas an exclusive, worldwide right to develop and commercialize PROBODY therapeutics for up tofour collaboration targets includingone initial target andthree additional targets (“Additional Targets”). In addition, Astellas had the right to expand the number of Additional Targets from three up tofive (the “Expansion Option”) before the third anniversary of the effective date. Furthermore, for a specified number of targets, at a pre-specified time prior to the initiation of the first pivotal study of a product against such target, the Company had the option to elect to participate in certain development costs and share in the profits generated in the United States with respect to such product (“Cost Share Option”). The Cost Share Option, if exercised, also provided the option for the Company to co-commercialize such product in the United States. The Company had not considered the Cost Share Option as a performance obligation at the inception of the agreement as participation is at the Company’s discretion.

Pursuant to the Astellas Agreement, the consideration from Astellas was comprised of an upfront fee of $80.0 million and total potential contingent payments for development, regulatory and sales milestones of up to an aggregate of approximately $1.2 billion. The Company was also entitled to tiered royalties from high-single digit to mid-teen percentage royalties from potential future sales. Astellas was responsible for all preclinical research costs incurred by either party as set forth in the preclinical research plan and the Company was entitled to receive research and development service fees based on a prescribed full-time employee ("FTE") rate.

In January 2023, the Company achieved a clinical candidate milestone for the first collaboration target nomination under the Astellas Agreement which triggered a $5.0 million milestone payment to the Company which was fully recognized in the first quarter of 2023 as the Company had completed its related performance obligation. In March 2024, the Company achieved the good laboratory practices ("GLPs") toxicology milestone for this candidate which triggered a $5.0 million milestone payment to the Company. The $5.0 million milestone payment was fully recognized in the first quarter of 2024 as the Company had completed its related performance obligation of this first collaboration target. Also, in March 2024, the Company achieved a clinical candidate milestone for a second collaboration target nomination under the Astellas Agreement which triggered an additional $5.0 million milestone payment to the Company. The $5.0 million milestone payment for this second nomination was fully recognized in the first quarter of 2024 as the Company had completed its related performance obligation. In the first quarter of 2025, Astellas initiated GLP toxicology studies for the second collaboration target, triggering a $5.0 million milestone payment to CytomX. The $5.0 million milestone payment was fully recognized in the first quarter of 2025 as the Company had completed its related performance obligation of this second collaboration target.

In the first quarter of 2026, Astellas chose not to advance the remaining preclinical programs and terminated the Astellas Agreement effective May 12, 2026, which is expected to result in the completion of the Company's performance obligation and recognition of the remaining deferred revenue by the second quarter of 2026. As a result, a cumulative adjustmentof $7.1 million of revenue was recognized in the first quarter of 2026, which lowered the loss per share by $0.04 for the three months ended March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, deferred revenue relating to the Astellas Agreement was$47.0 thousand and $8.6 million, respectively. The amount due from Astellas under the Astellas Agreement was $0.4 million as of March 31, 2026 and$0.9 million as of December 31, 2025.

The Company was also entitled to tiered mid-single to low double-digit percentage royalties from potential future sales.

In February 2021, the Company and Bristol Myers Squibb amended the BMS Agreement and entered into Amendment Number 2 to amend the Collaboration and License Agreement (“Amendment 2”), as previously amended by Amendment 1. Subsequent to Amendment 2, in addition to Bristol Myers Squibb’s ongoing development of the CTLA-4 program, Bristol Myers Squibb also had the exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize PROBODY therapeutics for up to five oncology targets. Under the terms of Amendment 2, the period for target selection was extended and in 2022, all remaining targets were selected. The Company continues to collaborate with Bristol Myers Squibb to discover and conduct preclinical development of PROBODY therapeutics against targets selected by Bristol Myers Squibb over the estimated research period, which was projected to end in April 2025. Pursuant to Amendment 2, the Company was eligible to receive contingent payments for development, regulatory and sales milestones as well as royalty payments from potential future sales.

In March 2024, following a Bristol Myers Squibb corporate portfolio prioritization process, Bristol Myers Squibb notified CytomX that it did not intend to continue the development of BMS-986288 beyond the current Phase 2 study and terminated its collaboration license to the CTLA-4 target under the collaboration. BMS-986288 was Bristol Myers Squibb’s leading next generation PROBODY CTLA-4 program that it had previously prioritized over BMS-986249, which was a PROBODY version of ipilimumab.

In June 2024, Bristol Myers Squibb prioritized its pre-clinical research activities under the collaboration and revised the research scope by one collaboration target. The Company determined that it had no further obligations related to the target that was deprioritized and accounted for the reduction of the target as a modification and the related remaining unrecognized transaction price was reallocated to the remaining performance obligations. The Company had received in aggregate $297.0 million in upfront and milestone payments under the agreement. The Company's research efforts on all the ongoing programs were completed in April 2025 upon which the $11.6 million of remaining deferred revenue was fully recognized with Bristol Myers Squibb responsible for further advancement.

  1. Income Taxes

The Company maintains a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets through March 31, 2026.

The Company files income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, the state of California and various other U.S. states. The state of California contested the Company’s tax position on revenue apportionment for upfront and milestone payments resulting from the Company’s collaboration and licensing agreements for the years 2017 and 2018. In September 2023, the Company received Notice of Proposed Assessment (“NOPA”) from the Franchise Tax Board. The Company recorded an uncertain tax position of$4.4 million in long term liabilities for the proposed tax assessment, penalties and interest through March 31, 2026. Additional utilization of carryforward attributes and indirect federal tax effects of the assessment would result in a reduction in deferred tax assets of $5.0 million. The Company filed a protest to contest the proposed assessment in November 2023. Due to the ongoing nature of the examination and discussions with the state of California, the Company is unable to estimate a date by which this matter will be resolved.
