Xencor (NASDAQ: XNCR) Q1 loss widens as revenue and royalties fall

Xencor reported significantly weaker financial results for Q1 2026, with revenue dropping sharply to $4.5 million from $32.7 million in the prior year, partly due to a one-time $6.6 million reduction from disputed Alexion royalties. The company's net loss widened to $128.9 million, or $(1.71) per share, compared to a $48.4 million loss, or $(0.66) per share, in Q1 2025, driven by increased R&D spending and unrealized losses on an equity security. Despite the widened loss, Xencor maintains a strong liquidity position with $541.8 million in cash as of March 31, 2026, expecting this to fund operations and R&D into mid-2028.
