2025 Financial Outlook
Based on its current operating plans, Karyopharm expects the following for full year 2025:
Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Total revenue: Total revenue for the third quarter of 2025 was $44.0 million, compared to $38.8 million for the third quarter of 2024.
Net product revenue: Net product revenue for the third quarter of 2025 was $32.0 million, compared to $29.5 million for the third quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by gross-to-net favorability.
License and other revenue: License and other revenue for the third quarter of 2025 was $12.0 million, compared to $9.3 million for the third quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by milestone-related revenue from Menarini.
Cost of sales: Cost of sales for the third quarter of 2025 was $2.1 million, compared to $1.3 million for the third quarter of 2024. Cost of sales reflects the costs of XPOVIO units sold and the costs of products sold to our partners.
R&D expenses: R&D expenses for the third quarter of 2025 were $30.5 million, compared to $36.1 million in the third quarter of 2024. The decrease was driven by lower clinical trial costs for selinexor in multiple myeloma, reflecting the reduced scope of our Phase 3 trial, and lower personnel and stock-based compensation expenses resulting from previously implemented cost-reduction initiatives.
SG&A expenses: SG&A expenses for the third quarter of 2025 were $26.6 million, compared to $27.6 million for the third quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by the realization of previously implemented cost reduction initiatives, largely offset by higher professional fees incurred during the quarter in connection with the financing transactions announced by the Company on October 8, 2025.
Loss from operations: Loss from operations for the third quarter of 2025 was $15.2 million, an improvement of approximately 42% compared to a loss of $26.3 million in the third quarter of 2024.
Interest expense: Interest expense for the third quarter of 2025 was $11.0 million, compared to $11.4 million for the third quarter of 2024.
Other (expense) income: Other expense for the third quarter of 2025 was $7.4 million compared to other income of $3.8 million for the third quarter of 2024. The change is primarily attributable to recurring non-cash fair value remeasurements related to the refinancing transactions that were completed in the second quarter of 2024.
Net Loss: Karyopharm reported a net loss of $33.1 million, or $3.82 net loss per basic and diluted share, for the third quarter of 2025, compared to a net loss of $32.1 million, or $3.85 net loss per basic and diluted share, for the third quarter of 2024. Net loss included non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $2.8 million and $4.2 million for the third quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Cash position: Prior to the receipt of approximately $32 million of net proceeds from the financing transactions announced by the Company on October 8, 2025, cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments as of September 30, 2025 totaled $46.2 million, compared to $109.1 million as of December 31, 2024. On a proforma basis, cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments would have been approximately $78 million. The Company's cash balance as of September 30, 2025 reflects the benefit of $7.4 million of interest that was paid-in-kind and royalties that were deferred in connection with the Company's financing transactions announced on October 8, 2025.

About the Phase 3 SENTRY Trial
SENTRY (XPORT-MF-034; NCT04562389) is a Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating a once-weekly dose of 60 mg of selinexor in combination with ruxolitinib compared to placebo plus ruxolitinib in JAKi-naïve myelofibrosis patients with platelet counts >100 x 109/L. Patients are randomized 2-to-1 to the selinexor arm. The co-primary endpoints for this trial are spleen volume reduction ≥ 35% (SVR35) at week 24 and the average change in absolute total symptom score (Abs-TSS) over 24 weeks relative to baseline.
About Myelofibrosis
Myelofibrosis is a rare blood cancer that affects approximately 20,000 patients in the United States and 17,000 patients in the European Union1. The disease causes bone marrow fibrosis (scarring in the bone marrow), which makes it difficult for the bone marrow to make healthy blood cells, splenomegaly (enlarged spleen), progressive anemia which often leads to symptoms like fatigue and weakness, and other disease associated symptoms including abdominal discomfort, pain under the left ribs, early satiety, night sweats and bone pain. The only approved class of therapies to treat myelofibrosis are JAK inhibitors, including ruxolitinib. Patients treated with the most commonly prescribed JAK inhibitor often require blood transfusions, and more than 30% will discontinue treatment due to anemia.2 Anemia and transfusion dependence are correlated with poor prognosis and shortened survival.3

About the Phase 3 XPORT-EC-042 Trial
EC-042 (XPORT-EC-042; NCT05611931) is a global, Phase 3, randomized, double-blind clinical trial evaluating selinexor as a maintenance therapy following systemic therapy in patients with TP53 wild-type advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer. The EC-042 trial is expected to enroll approximately 276 patients who will be randomized 1:1 to receive either a 60 mg, once-weekly, administration of oral selinexor or placebo until disease progression. The trial includes two patient populations, for which, the primary endpoint of progression free survival will be tested sequentially and the key secondary endpoint of overall survival will be evaluated: 1) a modified intent to treat population (mITT) that will include patients with either, a) TP53 wild-type tumors with proficient mismatch repair status (pMMR); or, b) TP53 wild-type tumors with deficient mismatch repair status (dMMR), who are medically ineligible to receive checkpoint inhibitors; and, 2) the trial's original intent to treat (ITT) population, which will include all patients enrolled in the trial whose tumors are TP53 wild-type, regardless of MMR status. The mITT population is expected to include approximately 220 patients. In connection with the EC-042 trial, Karyopharm entered into a global collaboration with Foundation Medicine, Inc. to develop FoundationOne®CDx, a tissue-based comprehensive genomic profiling test to identify and enroll patients whose tumors are TP53 wild-type.
About Endometrial Cancer
Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common gynecologic malignancy in the U.S.1 In 2025, approximately 69,120 uterine cancers (predominantly endometrial) are expected to be diagnosed, with 13,860 deaths.1 In 2022, there were about 420,368 cases with 97,723 deaths worldwide.2 Both incidence and mortality have continued to rise.3,4 Key risk factors include obesity, type 2 diabetes, high-fat diets, tamoxifen or oral estrogen use, and delayed menopause.5 TP53 is a well-recognized prognostic marker for EC; >50% of advanced or recurrent EC tumors are TP53wt (gene for tumor protein P53; wild-type), and ~40%-55% are both TP53wt and mismatch repair-proficient (pMMR).6-8 While immune checkpoint inhibitors have shown benefit in patients with mismatch repair–deficient (dMMR) and pMMR, the magnitude of benefit is greater for patients with dMMR tumors versus pMMR tumors.9-10 There remains an unmet need for targeted therapies for patients with pMMR EC.11

About XPOVIO® (selinexor)
XPOVIO is a first-in-class, oral exportin 1 (XPO1) inhibitor and the first of Karyopharm's Selective Inhibitor of Nuclear Export (SINE) compounds for the treatment of cancer. XPOVIO functions by selectively binding to and inhibiting the nuclear export protein XPO1. XPOVIO is approved in the U.S. and marketed by Karyopharm in multiple oncology indications, including: (i) in combination with VELCADE® (bortezomib) and dexamethasone (XVd) in adult patients with multiple myeloma after at least one prior therapy; (ii) in combination with dexamethasone in adult patients with heavily pre-treated multiple myeloma; and (iii) under accelerated approval in adult patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), including DLBCL arising from follicular lymphoma, after at least two lines of systemic therapy. XPOVIO® (also known as NEXPOVIO® in certain countries) has received regulatory approvals in various indications in a growing number of ex-U.S. territories and countries, including but not limited to the European Union, the United Kingdom, Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Australia, South Korea, Singapore, Israel, and Canada. XPOVIO®/NEXPOVIO® is marketed in these respective ex-U.S. territories by Karyopharm's partners: Antengene, Menarini, Neopharm, and FORUS. Selinexor is also being investigated in several other mid- and late-stage clinical trials across multiple high unmet need cancer indications, including in myelofibrosis and endometrial cancer.
