(Nasdaq: HALO) ("Halozyme" or the "Company") today reported its financial and operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, and provided an update on its recent corporate activities. "I am pleased to announce our new $1 billion share repurchase program and that we project to repurchase at least $400 million in 2026, which is a reflection of our strong cash generation and confidence in the long-term value and durability of our business. We started 2026 with exceptional momentum, highlighted by three new recent collaboration and licensing agreements with Vertex, Oruka and GSK, demonstrating the strong interest in Hypercon and ENHANZE and showcasing the real potential to exceed our goal of three new SC delivery platform deals this year. The two Hypercon multi-target agreements confirm the strong interest of biopharma companies to reduce injection volume through hyperconcentration and allow more flexible administration in the home. Our new multi-target agreement with GSK represents a significant opportunity for ENHANZE with multiple promising oncology targets, including its first potential application with antibody drug conjugates. This momentum creates durable new royalty opportunity beginning in the 2030s and extending to at least the mid-2040s," said Dr. Helen Torley, President and Chief Executive Officer of Halozyme. "The growing number of indications for our approved products and new Phase 3 data milestones represent increased opportunity for ENHANZE. Most recently, VYVGART Hytrulo was FDA-approved for all serotypes of generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG), representing a significant expansion of addressable patients. The VYVGART Hytrulo opportunity is further extended with positive Phase 3 data in ocular myasthenia gravis, increasing the MG addressable market by an additional 7,000 patients in the U.S. alone. Additionally, DARZALEX Faspro gained its 12th and 13th approved indications and expanded further in newly diagnosed and early second line multiple myeloma patients, the two largest, longer-duration of treatment patient populations. Takeda also announced positive Phase 2/3 data for its 20% immunoglobulin TAK-881 in patients with primary immune deficiency, creating the potential for the 11th ENHANZE product launch." "Our opportunity with ENHANZE was further enhanced in the quarter by two new Phase 1 study starts, increasing the number of ENHANZE products in development to nine, well on our way to the expected 13 ENHANZE products in development by year-end 2026. We project these ENHANZE products have the potential for approvals beginning in 2029+, creating a new wave of royalty revenue. The five signed Hypercon agreements, which include the opportunity for 17 targets to be developed, with first approvals projected in the 2030/2031 time period represents a third exciting wave of new royalty revenue opportunity. This continued performance and progress resulted in strong first quarter financial results and we are pleased to reaffirm our 2026 outlook, including expectations for ENHANZE royalty revenue to exceed $1 billion for the full year," Dr. Torley concluded. Recent Corporate Highlights: In May 2026, the Company announced a new share repurchase program to repurchase up to $1 billion of its outstanding common stock by December 31, 2028, with an expectation of buying back at least $400 million of shares in 2026. Recent Partner Highlights: In May 2026, argenx announced U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approval of a supplemental Biologics License Application ("sBLA") for VYVGART® Hytrulo with ENHANZE® for the treatment of adult patients with generalized myasthenia gravis ("gMG") including all serotypes – anti-AChR-Ab positive, anti-MuSK-Ab positive, anti-LRP4-Ab positive, and triple seronegative. In May 2026, Halozyme and GSK plc ("GSK") entered into a global collaboration and license agreement for ENHANZE® with multiple oncology targets, including the first potential application in antibody-drug conjugates ("ADCs"). Under the terms of the agreement, GSK will make an upfront payment and potential future milestone payments and royalties on net sales of products developed with ENHANZE®. In May 2026, Halozyme and Oruka Therapeutics, Inc. ("Oruka") entered into a global exclusive collaboration and license agreement for Halozyme's Hypercon™ technology for use with ORKA-001, in development for psoriasis and related inflammatory diseases and one additional target. Under the terms of the agreement, Oruka will make an upfront payment and potential future milestone payments and mid-single digit royalties on net sales of products developed using the Hypercon™ technology. In May 2026, Takeda announced positive topline results from its pivotal Phase 2/3 trial of TAK-881 with ENHANZE® in Primary Immunodeficiency Disease. In April 2026, Halozyme and Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated ("Vertex") entered into a global exclusive collaboration and license agreement that provides Vertex access to Hypercon™ technology for use in up to three targets. Under the terms of the agreement, Vertex will make a $15 million upfront payment and potential future milestone payments and royalties on net sales of products developed using the Hypercon™ technology. First Quarter Partner Highlights: In March 2026, Pfizer nominated a new undisclosed non-exclusive target to be studied with ENHANZE®. In March 2026, Janssen announced the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use of the European Medicines Agency granted approval for self or caregiver administration of DARZALEX (daratumumab) SC formulation for patients living with multiple myeloma from the fifth dose, if determined to be appropriate by their healthcare professional and following proper training, making it the first oncology injectable approved for self-administration in Europe. In March 2026, Janssen announced the FDA approved TECVAYLI® (teclistamab-cqyv) in combination with DARZALEX FASPRO® (daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj) for the treatment of adults with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior line of therapy. In February 2026, argenx announced positive topline results from the Phase 3 ADAPT oculus trial of VYVGART® with ENHANZE® in ocular myasthenia gravis. In January 2026, argenx initiated a Phase 1 study to evaluate ARGX-124 with ENHANZE®. In January 2026, Janssen announced the FDA approved DARZALEX FASPRO® (daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj) in combination with bortezomib, lenalidomide and dexamethasone for the treatment of adult patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are ineligible for autologous stem cell transplant. First Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights: Total revenue was $376.7 million, compared to $264.9 million in the first quarter of 2025. The 42% year-over-year increase was primarily driven by royalty revenue growth and an increase in product sales. Revenue included $240.7 million in royalties, an increase of 43% compared to $168.2 million in the first quarter of 2025, primarily driven by continued sales uptake of ENHANZE® partner products that have launched since 2020, predominantly DARZALEX® SC by Janssen, VYVGART® Hytrulo by argenx and Phesgo® by Roche in all geographies and contributions from other recently launched products. Cost of sales was $79.2 million, compared to $48.4 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to an increase in bulk rHuPH20 sales. Amortization of intangibles expense was $29.5 million, compared to $17.8 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase in amortization of intangibles expense was due to the acquisition of Elektrofi, Inc. ("Elektrofi") in November 2025. Research and development expense was $25.6 million, compared to $14.8 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Elektrofi and Surf Bio, Inc. ("Surf Bio") in the fourth quarter of 2025. Selling, general and administrative expense was $57.9 million, compared to $42.4 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to an increase in consulting and professional service fees, including litigation costs incurred in connection with patent infringement litigation, the acquisition of Elektrofi and Surf Bio, and an increase in compensation expense. Operating income was $184.5 million, compared to $141.5 million in the first quarter of 2025. Net income was $150.0 million, compared to $118.1 million in the first quarter of 2025. EBITDA was $218.3 million, compared to $162.0 million in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA was $229.5 million, compared to $162.0 million in the first quarter of 2025.1 GAAP diluted earnings per share was $1.22, compared to $0.93 in the first quarter of 2025. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $1.60, compared to $1.11 in the first quarter of 2025.1 Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities were $320.9 million on March 31, 2026, compared to $145.4 million on December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by cash generated from operations.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to disclosing financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), this press release and the accompanying tables contain certain Non-GAAP financial measures. The Company reports earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA"), adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, Non-GAAP diluted shares, and guidance with respect to those measures, in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company calculates Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share excluding share-based compensation expense, amortization of debt discounts, intangible asset amortization, one-time items, if any, such as changes in contingent liabilities, inventory adjustments, impairment charges, transaction costs for business combinations, severance and share-based compensation acceleration expenses, intellectual property litigation costs, inducement expenses related to convertible notes, and certain adjustments to income tax expense. The Company calculates Non-GAAP diluted shares excluding the dilutive impact of convertible notes which is used in calculating Non-GAAP diluted earnings. The Company calculates EBITDA excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company calculates adjusted EBITDA excluding one-time items, if any, such as changes in contingent liabilities, inventory adjustments, impairment charges, transaction costs for business combinations, severance and share-based compensation acceleration expenses and intellectual property litigation costs. Reconciliations between GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures are included at the end of this press release. The Company does not provide reconciliations of forward-looking adjusted measures to GAAP due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including adjustments that could be made for changes in share-based compensation expense and the effects of any discrete income tax items. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. The Company provides Non-GAAP financial measures that it believes will be achieved; however, it cannot accurately predict all of the components of the adjusted calculations and the GAAP measures may be materially different than the Non-GAAP measures. The Company evaluates other items of income and expense on an individual basis for potential inclusion in the calculation of Non-GAAP financial measures and considers both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the item, including (i) its size and nature, (ii) whether or not it relates to the Company's ongoing business operations and (iii) whether or not the Company expects it to occur as part of the Company's normal business on a regular basis. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. These Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation and should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, from time to time in the future there may be other items that the Company may exclude for purposes of its Non-GAAP financial measures, and the Company may in the future cease to exclude items that it has historically excluded for purposes of its Non-GAAP financial measures. The Company considers these Non-GAAP financial measures to be important because they provide useful measures of the operating performance of the Company, exclusive of factors that do not directly affect what the Company considers to be its core operating performance, as well as unusual events. The Non-GAAP measures also allow investors and analysts to make additional comparisons of the operating activities of the Company's core business over time and with respect to other companies, as well as assessing trends and future expectations. The Company uses Non-GAAP financial information in assessing what it believes is a meaningful and comparable set of financial performance measures to evaluate operating trends, as well as in establishing portions of our performance-based incentive compensation programs.
