Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited)
March 31, 2024
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements for Xencor, Inc. (the Company, Xencor, we or us) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information. The consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that the management of the Company believes are necessary for a fair presentation of the periods presented. The preparation of consolidated interim financial statements requires the use of management’s estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated interim financial statements and the reported revenues and expenditures during the reported periods. These interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any subsequent interim period.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 24, 2025.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Xencor, Inc. and Gale Therapeutics Inc. (Gale), a variable interest entity (VIE) in which we are the primary beneficiary. Since we own less than 100% of Gale, the Company records net loss attributable to non-controlling interests in its consolidated statements of income (loss) equal to the percentage of the economic or ownership interests retained in Gale by the non-controlling party.
In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we apply a qualitative approach that determines whether we have (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We continuously assess whether we are the primary beneficiary of Gale as changes to existing relationships or future transactions may result in us consolidating or deconsolidating Gale.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, other comprehensive income (loss) and the related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including estimates related to its accrued clinical trial and manufacturing development expenses, stock-based compensation expense, evaluation of intangible assets, investments, leases and other assets for evidence of impairment, fair value measurements, and contingencies. Significant estimates in these consolidated interim financial statements include estimates made for royalty revenue, interest expense under the royalty sale agreements, accrued research and development expenses, stock-based compensation expenses, intangible assets, incremental borrowing rate for right-of-use asset and lease liability, estimated standalone selling price of performance obligations, estimated time for completing delivery of performance obligations under certain arrangements, the likelihood of recognizing variable consideration, the carrying value of equity instruments without a readily determinable fair value, and recoverability of deferred tax assets.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts in the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation. These reclassifications did not affect the prior period's total assets, liabilities, stockholders' equity, net loss or cash flows. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we adopted a change in
11
Table of Contents
presentation on our consolidated statements of loss to include loss from disposal of fixed assets in operating expenses. The prior period has been revised to reflect this change in the presentation .
Intangible Assets
The Company maintains definite-lived intangible assets related to certain capitalized costs of acquired licenses and third-party costs incurred in establishing and maintaining its intellectual property rights to its platform technologies and development candidates. These assets are amortized over their useful lives, which are estimated to be the remaining patent life or the contractual term of the license. The straight-line method is used to record amortization expense. The Company assesses its intangible assets for impairment if indicators are present or changes in circumstances suggest that impairment may exist. There was no impairment charge recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
The Company capitalizes certain in-process intangible assets that are then abandoned when they are no longer pursued or used in current research activities. We abandoned $ 0.4 million of in-process intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2024. We abandoned $ 0.3 million of in-process intangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Marketable Debt and Equity Securities
The Company has an investment policy that includes guidelines on acceptable investment securities, minimum credit quality, maturity parameters, and concentration and diversification. The investment policy limits the maturity of any individual security to a maximum of 36 months. The average maturity of securities in the portfolio as of March 31, 2024 is less than 12 months. The Company invests its excess cash primarily in marketable debt securities issued by investment grade institutions.
The Company considers its marketable debt securities to be available-for-sale because it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before recovery of the amortized cost. These assets are carried at fair value and any impairment losses and recoveries related to the underlying issuer’s credit standing are recognized within other income (expense), while non-credit related impairment losses and recoveries are recognized within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). There were no impairment losses or recoveries recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Accrued interest on marketable debt securities is included in the marketable securities’ carrying value. Each reporting period, the Company reviews its portfolio of marketable debt securities, using both quantitative and qualitative factors, to determine if each security’s fair value has declined below its amortized cost basis. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded an unrealized loss of $ 1.4 million in its portfolio of marketable debt securities. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $ 3.3 million. The unrealized loss is due to the changing interest rate environment and is not due to changes in the credit quality of the underlying securities. The unrealized gain (loss) is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
The Company receives equity securities in connection with certain licensing transactions with its partners. These investments in equity securities are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized each period and reported within other income (expense). For equity securities with a readily determinable fair value, the Company remeasures these equity investments at each reporting period until such time that the investment is sold or disposed. If the Company sells an investment, any realized gain or loss on the sale of the securities will be recognized within other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of loss in the period of sale.
The Company also has investments in equity securities without a readily determinable fair value, where the Company elects the measurement alternative to record the investment at its initial cost minus impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. There was an impairment charge of $ 20.6 million recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2024 in connection with equity securities without a readily determinable fair value. There was no impairment charge recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Liability Related to the Sale of Future Revenues
We treat the sale of future Ultomiris and Monjuvi royalties as debt, amortized under the effective interest rate method over the estimated life of the Ultomiris and Monjuvi Royalty Sale Agreements, respectively. See Note 12. The amortization of the liability related to the sale of future Ultomiris and Monjuvi royalties is based on our current estimate of
12
Table of Contents
future royalty payments. Royalty revenue will be recognized as earned and the payments made will be a reduction of the liability when paid .
Non-cash Interest Expense on the Liability Related to the Sale of Future Royalties
The total expected royalty payments less the net proceeds received are recorded as non-cash interest expense over the life of the liability. Interest is imputed on the unamortized portion using the effective interest method and is recorded based on the timing of the payments received over the term of the Ultomiris and Monjuvi Royalty Sale Agreements. The actual interest rate will be affected by the timing of the royalty payments and changes in the forecasted revenue.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There have been no material changes in recently issued or adopted accounting standards from those disclosed in the Company's 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company has reviewed all recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe they will have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
There have been no other material changes to the significant accounting policies previously disclosed in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
2. Restatement of a Previously Issued Financial Statements
In connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company determined that the Ultomiris Royalty Sale Agreement with OMERS entered into in November 2023 was incorrectly accounted for as deferred income and should have been accounted for as debt and that the Company understated the amount of its research and experimental expenses that should have been capitalized under Section 174 of the Code for the year ended December 31, 2023 as well as misstatement related to its state tax obligations, and therefore identified uncertain tax positions for federal and state income tax purposes.

3. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments included in the financial statements include cash and cash equivalents, marketable debt and equity securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. Marketable debt securities, equity securities, and cash equivalents are carried at fair value. The fair value of the other financial instruments closely approximates their fair value due to their short-term maturities.
The Company accounts for recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, and requires expanded disclosure about fair value measurements. The ASC 820 hierarchy ranks the quality of reliable inputs, or assumptions, used in the determination of fair value and requires assets and liabilities carried at fair value to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1— Fair value is determined by using unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2— Fair value is determined by using inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable. Inputs can include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. Related inputs can also include those used in valuation or other pricing models, such as interest rates and yield curves that can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3— Fair value is determined by inputs that are unobservable and not corroborated by market data. Use of these inputs involves significant and subjective judgments to be made by the reporting entity – e.g., determining an appropriate discount factor for illiquidity associated with a given security.

The Company measures the fair value of financial assets using the highest level of inputs that are reasonably available as of the measurement date. The assets recorded at fair value are classified within the hierarchy as follows for the periods reported (in thousands):
March 31, 2024
(unaudited) December 31, 2023

Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Total

$ 618,774 $ 3,447 $ 615,327 $ 668,757 $ 25,520 $ 643,237
Our policy is to record transfers of assets between Level 1 and Level 2 at their fair values as of the end of each reporting period, consistent with the date of the determination of fair value. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.
4. Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to Xencor by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period without consideration of common stock equivalents. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to Xencor by the weighted-average number of common stock equivalents outstanding for the period. Potentially dilutive securities consisting of stock issuable pursuant to outstanding options and restricted stock units (RSUs), and stock issuable pursuant to the 2013 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) are not included in the per common share calculation in periods when the inclusion of such shares would have an anti-dilutive effect.
Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed as follows:
Three Months Ended

2024 2023
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
(As Restated)
Numerator:
Net loss attributable to Xencor, Inc. $ ( 73,440 ) $ ( 60,763 )

Basic and diluted net loss per common share attributable to Xencor, Inc. $ ( 1.20 ) $ ( 1.02 )
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, all outstanding potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share as the effect of including such securities would have been anti-dilutive.
5. Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). For each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the only component of other comprehensive income (loss) is net unrealized gain (loss) on marketable debt securities. There were no material reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) during each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
