Fiscal First Quarter Financial Results
The separation of AnaptysBio and First Tracks Biotherapeutics was completed on April 20, 2026. Beginning in the second quarter of 2026, AnaptysBio reclassified historical First Tracks Biotherapeutics, Inc. related assets, liabilities and expenses as discontinued operations. Cash, cash equivalents and investments totaled $153.0 million as of September 30, 2026, compared to $164.1 million as of June 30, 2026, for a decrease of $11.1 million due primarily to $15.5 million used for operating activities offset by $4.4 million received from stock option exercises. Collaboration revenue was $30.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $76.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease is primarily due to $50 million in milestone revenue recognized in Q3 2025 offset by Jemperli royalties increasing 11% quarter over quarter for the three months ended September 30, 2026. General and administrative expenses from continuing operations were $11.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was due primarily to legal costs for the GSK and Tesaro lawsuit, audit and tax costs to support the June 30, 2026 transition year financials, and the allocation of G&A costs between AnaptysBio and First Tracks Biotherapeutics, Inc. for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The expenses recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2026, include $4.8 million in legal costs for the GSK and Tesaro litigation and $2.2 million in recurring expenses, including contractor support, legal services unrelated to the GSK and Tesaro litigation, and other public company expenses. The G&A non-cash, stock-based compensation expense was $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to $0.5 million in the same period in 2025.
Research and development expenses from continuing operations were a negative $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to a negative $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was primarily due to adjustments related to the closeout of clinical contracts reducing expenses incurred prior to the separation. Net income from continuing operations was $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, or a net income per share of $0.13, compared to a net income from continuing operations of $56.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, or a net income per share of $2.02.
