SHANGHAI & CAMBRIDGE, Mass. / Nov 06, 2025 / Business Wire / Zai Lab Limited (NASDAQ: ZLAB; HKEX: 9688) today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2025, along with recent product highlights and corporate updates.

“Zai Lab is entering the next phase of our growth, powered by the rapid advancement of our global pipeline and supported by a commercially profitable and scalable business in China,” said Dr. Samantha Du, Founder, Chairperson, and CEO of Zai Lab. “With zoci moving into pivotal development less than two years after IND and multiple differentiated global programs progressing in parallel, we are demonstrating the speed, scientific rigor, and global ambition of our R&D engine. At the same time, our commercial platform in China remains strong, with new products and indications – including KarXT, povetacicept and VYVGART – broadening our long-term growth profile. Together, we are building a company that will make a lasting difference for patients and create long-term value for our shareholders.”

“This quarter, we continued to deepen the foundations of the VYVGART launch,” said Josh Smiley, President and COO of Zai Lab. “In gMG, we are seeing steady new patient starts and increasing treatment duration, supported by updated treatment guidelines and real-world experience. While adoption is building gradually, physician confidence continues to grow and reinforces the long-term potential of VYVGART as a new standard of care in the treatment of this chronic disease. Looking ahead, we are preparing for our next expected launch for KarXT in schizophrenia. We remain focused on disciplined execution as we position for the significant opportunities ahead, supported by a growing regional business and a rapidly progressing, global pipeline.”

Recent Pipeline Highlights

Below are key product updates since our last earnings release:

Oncology Pipeline

• Zocilurtatug Pelitecan (zoci, DLL3 ADC) (formerly ZL-1310):

– In October 2025, Zai Lab initiated a global registrational study of zocilurtatug pelitecan monotherapy in second-line+ extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC).

– In October 2025, Zai Lab presented updated Phase 1 results at the AACR-NCI-EORTC International Conference, demonstrating a best overall response rate of 68% at the 1.6 mg/kg dose in second-line extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. The estimated median duration of response (DoR) of 6.1 months across all doses and all lines of therapy is highly encouraging for a monotherapy in this heavily pre-treated and difficult-to-treat patient population. Meaningful activity in patients with brain metastases was also observed, including an 80% response rate in patients with untreated brain metastases. The data also demonstrated a well-tolerated safety profile at 1.6 mg/kg, with Grade ≥ 3 treatment-related adverse events of 13%, no Grade ≥2 interstitial lung disease, and no drug discontinuations. Together, these results reinforce zoci’s best-in-class potential and support the initiation of the global registrational study.

• Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields): In August 2025, Zai Lab announced that the China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) has granted Innovative Medical Device Designation for TTFields for patients with pancreatic cancer based on the positive results from the Phase 3 PANOVA-3 trial. We plan to submit for regulatory approval in China in the fourth quarter of 2025.
• Bemarituzumab (FGFR2b): In November 2025, Zai Lab partner Amgen announced FORTITUDE-102, a Phase 1b/3 study of bemarituzumab plus chemotherapy and nivolumab in patients with first-line gastric cancer, was stopped.

Immunology Pipeline

• ZL-1503 (IL-13/IL-31R): In November 2025, Zai Lab initiated a global Phase 1/1b study to evaluate safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of ZL-1503 in healthy volunteers and participants with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis.
• Efgartigimod (FcRn):

– Sjogren's disease: In September 2025, Zai Lab joined the registrational UNITY study of efgartigimod subcutaneous given by prefilled syringe in Sjogren’s disease in Greater China (mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, collectively).

– Seronegative gMG: In August 2025, Zai Lab partner argenx announced topline data from the pivotal ADAPT SERON study of VYVGART in patients with AChR-Ab seronegative gMG. The study met its primary endpoint (p-value=0.0068) and it is the first global phase 3 study to demonstrate clinically meaningful improvements in disease activity across all three subtypes – MuSK+, LRP4+, triple seronegative. Zai Lab participated in the global Phase 3 study in Greater China, enabling a potential China regulatory submission.

• Xanomeline-Trospium (or KarXT) (M1/M4-agonist): In September 2025, the “China Schizophrenia Prevention and Treatment Guidelines (2025 Edition)” were officially released, and KarXT was included for the first time, marking the first national-level guideline globally to include KarXT. The guidelines emphasize KarXT’s broad efficacy across all three symptom domains (positive, negative, and cognitive symptoms) and its unique safety profile, supporting long-term adherence and functional recovery. China’s NMPA accepted the New Drug Application (NDA) for the treatment of schizophrenia in January 2025.
• Povetacicept: In September 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) to povetacicept for the treatment of IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Subsequently, the FDA also granted a rolling review of the Biologics License Application (BLA) submission for povetacicept for this indication. Vertex has completed full enrollment of the Phase 3 study, including the interim analysis cohort for potential accelerated approval in the U.S. Zai Lab participated in the global Phase 3 RAINIER study in patients with IgAN in Greater China.

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

• Product revenue, net was $115.4 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $101.8 million for the same period in 2024, representing 13% y-o-y growth, 14% y-o-y growth at constant exchange rate (CER). This increase was primarily driven by increased sales for NUZYRA and XACDURO, partially offset by softer sales for ZEJULA:

– VYVGART and VYVGART Hytrulo were $27.7 million in the third quarter of 2025 which includes a $2.4 million reduction following a voluntary price adjustment on Hytrulo ahead of National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL) negotiation, compared to $26.5 million in the second quarter of 2025. Sales grew 4.6% quarter over quarter driven by an extension of duration of therapy and increased market penetration.

– ZEJULA was $42.4 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $48.2 million for the same period in 2024. Sales were softer due to evolving competitive dynamics within the PARPi class.

– XACDURO, which was launched in the fourth quarter of 2024, was $6.4 million in the third quarter of 2025.

– NUZYRA was $15.4 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $10.0 million for the same period in 2024. This growth was supported by increased market coverage and penetration.

• Research and Development (R&D) expenses were $47.9 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $66.0 million for the same period in 2024, primarily due to a decrease in licensing fees in connection with upfront and milestone payments.
• Selling, General and Administrative expenses were $70.1 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $67.2 million for the same period in 2024. This increase was primarily driven by higher general selling expenses to support the growth of NUZYRA and VYVGART, partially offset by decreases in selling expenses related to ZEJULA.
• Loss from operations was $48.8 million in the third quarter of 2025, $28.0 million when adjusted to exclude certain non-cash expenses including depreciation, amortization, and share-based compensation. A reconciliation of loss from operations (GAAP) to adjusted loss from operations (non-GAAP) is included at the end of this release.
• Net loss was $36.0 million in the third quarter of 2025, or a loss per ordinary share attributable to stockholders of $0.03 (or loss per American Depositary Share (ADS) of $0.33), compared to a net loss of $41.7 million for the same period in 2024, or a loss per ordinary share of $0.04 (or loss per ADS of $0.42). These decreases in net loss were primarily due to increased product revenue and decreased operating expenses.
• Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and current restricted cash totaled $817.2 million as of September 30, 2025, compared to $832.3 million as of June 30, 2025.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, we disclose growth rates that have been adjusted to exclude the impact of changes due to the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. We have also presented a measure of adjusted loss from operations that adjusts GAAP loss from operations to exclude the impact of certain non-cash expenses including depreciation, amortization, and share-based compensation, which we refer to as “profitability.” These adjusted growth rates and adjusted loss from operations are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are important for an understanding of the performance of our business operations and financial results and provide investors with an additional perspective on operational trends and greater transparency into our historical and projected operating performance. Although we believe the non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an exclusive alternative to the corresponding GAAP financial measures.
