ImmunityBio, Inc. (NASDAQ: IBRX), a leading immunotherapy company, today announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

In the third quarter of 2025, ImmunityBio reported $31.8 million of product revenue, representing a 434% increase from $6.0 million in the third quarter of 2024. This growth reflects continued commercial traction of ANKTIVA in combination with BCG in BCG-unresponsive NMIBC with CIS with or without papillary tumors. The first three quarters of 2025 sales totaling $74.7 million represents a 467% increase in unit volume during the first three quarters of 2025 versus the last three quarters of 2024. The Company ended the quarter with $257.8 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities as of September 30, 2025.

“We are pleased with the continued strong demand for ANKTIVA in NMIBC CIS. Unit sales grew nearly 6X year-to-date compared with full-year 2024, reflecting adoption both at leading research centers and in community urology clinics, including rural areas,” said Richard Adcock, President and CEO of ImmunityBio. “ANKTIVA’s total response rate continues to gain momentum with payors as it was recently added as the preferred drug in its indication by a large medication contracting organization covering ~80 million lives. Additionally, enrollment in the rBCG EAP nearly doubled this quarter, underscoring the urgent need to address the BCG shortage. On the clinical side of the business, our BCG-naïve study is enrolling well, and we are optimistic about the potential to expand ANKTIVA’s reach to an even broader population of bladder cancer patients in the near future.”

“We continue to achieve compelling results with the core components of our BioShield™ platform, demonstrated by sustained demand for ANKTIVA in bladder cancer and encouraging data this quarter showing its potential to reverse lymphopenia in non-small cell lung cancer,” said Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, Founder, Executive Chairman and Global Chief Scientific and Medical Officer, of ImmunityBio. “ANKTIVA also showed strong data in achieving disease control in glioblastoma, an extremely difficult to treat cancer. We are excited about the growth opportunities for our science and its potential to address many more unmet needs.”

Third-Quarter Ended September 30, 2025 Financial Summary and Comparison to Prior Year Quarter

Product Revenue, Net

Product revenue, net increased $25.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, due to an increase in sales of ANKTIVA, which was approved in April 2024.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development (R&D) expense increased $0.8 million to $51.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $50.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was due to higher manufacturing costs and higher distribution costs driven by more production and clinical trial activities, and higher license fees, partially offset by fewer sponsored research agreements.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense increased $0.4 million to $36.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $35.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was due to higher costs related to headcount, partially offset by lower costs related to litigation settlements and commercial consulting activities.

Net Loss Attributable to ImmunityBio Common Stockholders

Net loss attributable to ImmunityBio common stockholders was $67.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $85.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024. The reduction of loss was primarily driven by increased product revenue and lower related-party interest expense, partially offset by an increase in interest expense related to the revenue interest liability, and changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities, a related-party convertible note and derivative liabilities.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 Financial Summary and Comparison to Prior Year Nine Months

Product Revenue, Net

Product revenue, net increased $67.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, due to an increase in sales of ANKTIVA, which was approved in April 2024.

Research and Development Expense

R&D expense decreased $0.2 million to $154.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $154.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was mainly due to a reduction in outside service costs, CMO fees and drug materials purchased and used in manufacturing, partially offset by an increase in clinical trial costs and by higher manufacturing costs driven by increased production activities.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

SG&A expense decreased $15.8 million to $111.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $127.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by lower costs related to litigation settlements and commercial consulting activities, partially offset by higher stock-based compensation expense, recruiting and training expenses, salaries, benefits and commissions, and travel expenses due to growing sales and marketing activities.

Net Loss Attributable to ImmunityBio Common Stockholders

Net loss attributable to ImmunityBio common stockholders was $289.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $354.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This reduction of loss was primarily driven by increased product revenue, lower SG&A expense described above, lower related-party interest expense, and changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities, partially offset by changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities and a related-party convertible note, an increase in interest expense related to the revenue interest liability, and lower interest and investment income.

About ANKTIVA

The cytokine interleukin-15 (IL-15) plays a crucial role in the immune system by affecting the development, maintenance, and function of key immune cells—NK and CD8+ killer T cells—that are involved in killing cancer cells. By activating natural killer (NK) cells, ANKTIVA overcomes the tumor escape phase of clones resistant to T cells and restores memory T cell activity with resultant prolonged duration of complete response.

A key component in the Company’s BioShield platform, ANKTIVA is a first-in-class IL-15 agonist IgG1 fusion complex, consisting of an IL-15 mutant (IL-15N72D) fused with an IL-15 receptor alpha, which binds with high affinity to IL-15 receptors on NK, CD4+, and CD8+ T cells. This fusion complex of ANKTIVA mimics the natural biological properties of the membrane-bound IL-15 receptor alpha, delivering IL-15 by dendritic cells and drives the activation and proliferation of NK cells with the generation of memory killer T cells that have retained immune memory against these tumor clones.

ANKTIVA is currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with BCG for the treatment of adult patients with BCG-unresponsive NMIBC with CIS, with or without papillary tumors.

About ImmunityBio

ImmunityBio is a vertically-integrated commercial stage biotechnology company developing next-generation therapies that bolster the natural immune system to defeat cancers and infectious diseases. The Company’s range of immunotherapy and cell therapy platforms, alone and together, act to drive and sustain an immune response with the goal of creating durable and safe protection against disease. Designated an FDA Breakthrough Therapy, ANKTIVA is the first FDA-approved immunotherapy for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer CIS that activates NK cells, T cells, and memory T cells for a long-duration response. The Company is applying its science and platforms to treating cancers, including the development of potential cancer vaccines, as well as developing immunotherapies and cell therapies that we believe sharply reduce or eliminate the need for standard high-dose chemotherapy. These platforms and their associated product candidates are designed to be more effective, accessible, and easily administered than current standards of care in oncology and infectious diseases.
