Financial Results for Quarter Ended December 31, 2025

Cash and Cash Equivalents, and Time Deposits

As of December 31, 2025, Legend Biotech had approximately $949 million of cash and cash equivalents and time deposits.

Revenue

Collaboration Revenue

Collaboration revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $277.6 million, compared to $168.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The increase of $109.6 million was due to an increase in revenue generated from sales of CARVYKTI^® in connection with the Janssen collaboration and license agreement (the "Janssen Agreement").

License and Other Revenue

License and other revenue was $28.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $18.5 million license and other revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2024. This increase of $10.2 million was primarily driven by a milestone of $4.9 million achieved under the Janssen Agreement for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to no milestones achieved under the Janssen Agreement for the three months ended December 31, 2024. Additionally, for the three months ended December 31, 2025, Legend Biotech recognized approximately $6.4 million in license revenue under a licensing agreement with a related party. No license revenue was recognized under this agreement during the three months ended December 31, 2024.

Cost of Collaboration Revenue

Cost of collaboration revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $119.5 million, compared to $69.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The increase of $50.1 million was due to Legend Biotech's share of the cost of sales in connection with CARVYKTI^® sales under the Janssen Agreement.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2025 were $101.3 million, compared to $104.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease is driven by lower expenditures in BCMA clinical programs, offset by higher pipeline related research and development activities.

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2025 were $37.0 million, compared to $34.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, The increase was driven by higher professional fees and increased headcount‑driven expenses.

Selling and Distribution Expenses

Selling and distribution expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2025 were $64.2 million, compared to $48.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The increase of $15.3 million was primarily due to higher commercial costs, including sales force expansion and Janssen-related marketing and market access activities, which rose with collaboration revenue.

Operating loss

Operating loss for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $19.7 million compared to $79.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The year over year improvement of $59.6 million was primarily due to higher gross profit from CARVYKTI^®.

Net (Loss)/Income

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, net loss was $30.9 million, or $0.08 per share, compared to a net income of $26.4 million, or $0.07 per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The year over year change of $57.3 million was primarily due to unrealized foreign currency exchange losses resulting from changes in the intercompany loan balances and cash balances as a result of exchange rate changes between U.S. dollars and Euro. This loss was partially offset by higher gross profit from CARVYKTI^®.

Adjusted Net Income/(Loss)

Adjusted net income for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $2.5 million, or an adjusted net income of $0.01 per share, compared to an adjusted net loss of $59.0 million, or an adjusted net loss of $0.16 per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The year over year improvement of $61.5 million was primarily driven by improved operating performance, reflecting higher gross profit from CARVYKTI^®.

RECONCILIATION OF IFRS TO NON-IFRS MEASURES

We use Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share (which we sometimes refer to as "ANI per Share") as performance metrics. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and ANI per Share are not defined under IFRS, are not a measure of operating income, operating performance, or liquidity presented in accordance with IFRS, and are subject to important limitations. Our use of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under IFRS. For example:

Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) excludes unrealized foreign exchange gain (loss) which was primarily resulted from changes in the intercompany loan balances and cash balances as a result of exchange rate changes between USD and EURO.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs.
In addition, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) excludes such as share based compensation expense, which has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense for our business and an important part of our compensation strategy.

Also, our definition of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share may not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies.

However, we believe that providing information concerning Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share enhances an investor's understanding of our financial performance. We use Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as a performance metric that guides management in its operation of and planning for the future of the business. We believe that Adjusted Net Income (Loss) provides a useful measure of our operating performance from period to period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business. We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net loss adjusted for (1) non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization, share based compensation, impairment loss and fair value loss of warrant liability and (2) unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss mainly related to intercompany loan balances and cash deposit balances as a result of exchange rate changes between U.S. dollars and EUR.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share is computed by dividing Adjusted Net Income (Loss) by the weighted average shares outstanding.
