Business Outlook

A key growth vector is the continued expansion of ENHANZE collaborations. Halozyme currently has thirteen ENHANZE collaborations and licensing agreements, and the company intends to work with existing partners to expand collaborations to add new targets and develop targets and product candidates under the terms of the operative collaboration agreements. The company will also continue its efforts to enter into new collaborations to derive additional revenue from its proprietary technology. The company expects royalty revenue to grow further as a result of anticipated increasing partner product sales of DARZALEX SC, Phesgo and VYVGART Hytrulo, the largest drivers of royalty revenues. The total of all other products is also expected to grow, mainly driven by recently launched ENHANZE partner products, TECENTRIQ SC and OCREVUS SC by Roche, RYBREVANT SC by Janssen and Opdivo Qvantig by BMS, partially offset by modest price erosion expected to continue on earlier launched ENHANZE partner products, Herceptin and MabThera.

Another growth vector is the expansion of the drug delivery technology portfolio through the recently acquired Hypercon and Surf Bio technologies. With the acquisitions of Elektrofi and Surf Bio, the company's goal is to extend the number of partners and products being developed and commercialized by offering the Hypercon and Surf Bio technologies to further expand the drug delivery portfolio. The Hypercon technology is an innovative microparticle approach enabling hyperconcentration of monoclonal antibodies, certain complex proteins and peptides while maintaining syringeability, enabling biologic product formulation concentrations of ~500 mg/ml, which can be up to four to five times higher than standard aqueous solution formulations for biologics today. The Surf Bio technology is an innovative, polymer-enabled approach enabling hyperconcentration SC of monoclonal antibodies, other biologics and small molecules while maintaining syringeability, enabling concentrations of up to 500 mg/mL. The company also intends to extend the range of auto-injectors available to current and new partners, and it is the company's goal to further extend the number of partners for the current auto-injectors and add new partners for the high-volume auto-injector that utilizes ENHANZE technology.

Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $81,490,000 . Purchases of property and equipment for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $6,970,000 . In February 2024, the Board of Directors authorized a capital return program to repurchase up to $750.0 million of outstanding common stock. As of December 31, 2025, $92.3 million had been used to repurchase approximately 1.7 million shares at an average price of $52.89 per share under the third tranche of this program. The company has never declared or paid any dividends on its common stock and currently intends to retain available cash for funding operations, stock repurchases and other capital initiatives, and does not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future.

A structural headwind is the potential for modest price erosion on earlier launched ENHANZE partner products such as Herceptin and MabThera, which are later in their life cycle. The company also faces risks related to the expiration of patents, including an issued U.S. patent which expires in 2027 and additional patents that are valid into 2029, which the company believes cover the products and product candidates under its ENHANZE collaborations and Hylenex recombinant. Upon expiration of these patents, other pharmaceutical companies may seek to compete by developing, manufacturing and selling biosimilars to the active drug ingredient in the ENHANZE technology. Additionally, the company faces risks from changes in U.S. trade policy, including tariffs and potential countermeasures by trading partners, which could delay regulatory approval and increase costs, disrupt global supply chains and have a material adverse impact on the business.

A key constraint is the company's reliance on a limited number of third-party manufacturers for bulk rHuPH20, including Avid Bioservices, Inc. and Catalent Indiana LLC, and the company expects Lonza Sales AG to eventually produce bulk rHuPH20. Any disruption in the supply of bulk rHuPH20 or other components by these manufacturers or vendors could delay or suspend development or commercialization efforts. The company also faces risks related to the concentration of revenues and accounts receivable among a few partners, with approximately 69% of the accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2025 representing amounts due from Janssen, Roche and argenx, and approximately 60% of the accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2024 representing amounts due from Janssen and Roche.

Risk Factors

The company is heavily dependent on its ENHANZE collaborations, and any adverse development regarding the rHuPH20 enzyme could substantially impact multiple areas of the business, including current and potential ENHANZE collaborations and revenues, as well as any proprietary programs. The company relies on a limited number of third-party manufacturers for bulk rHuPH20, including Avid Bioservices, Inc. and Catalent Indiana LLC, and any disruption in supply could delay or suspend development or commercialization efforts. The company faces significant customer concentration risk, with approximately 69% of the accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2025 representing amounts due from Janssen, Roche and argenx. The company has substantial debt, with aggregate consolidated indebtedness, net of debt discount, of $2,142.6 million as of December 31, 2025, and failure to fulfill obligations under debt agreements could cause repayment obligations to accelerate. The company's ability to license its ENHANZE and device technologies depends on the validity of its patents, and an issued U.S. patent expires in 2027, with additional patents valid into 2029, which could lead to loss of patent protection and reduced revenues.

Management Priorities

Management's message emphasizes the company's position as a leader in converting IV biologics to SC delivery and extending the dosing interval of SC drugs using the commercially-validated ENHANZE technology. The strategic priorities for the period ahead include working with existing partners to expand collaborations to add new targets and develop product candidates, continuing efforts to enter into new collaborations to derive additional revenue from proprietary technology, and extending the number of partners and products being developed and commercialized by offering the Hypercon and Surf Bio technologies to further expand the drug delivery portfolio. Management also intends to extend the range of auto-injectors available to current and new partners and add new partners for the high-volume auto-injector that utilizes ENHANZE technology.
