Speaker #3: Thank you, Dan, and welcome, everyone, and thank you for your time today. We entered 2026 with tremendous momentum, and our Q1 performance reflects strong execution across the business and a very solid start to the year.
John V. Oyler: Thank you, Dan, and welcome everyone, and thank you for your time today. We entered 2026 with tremendous momentum, and our Q1 performance reflects strong execution across the business and a very solid start to the year. From a financial perspective, we achieved significant product revenue growth and GAAP earnings per ADS. These results underpin our confidence to raise our 2026 revenue guidance range by $100 million, as Aaron will discuss later. Our foundational hematology franchise, consisting of BRUKINSA, Sonro, and our BTK CDAC, is rapidly progressing, with approvals, launches, and key pivotal trial milestones expected in the near term. Both our heme franchise and our solid tumor pipeline will be on display at ASCO and EHA, where we have over 60 acceptances.

Speaker #3: Our foundational hematology franchise consisting of Brookinsa, Sonro, and our BTK-CDAC is rapidly progressing. With approvals launches and key pivotal trial milestones, expected in the near term.
Speaker #3: Both our heme franchise and our solid tumor pipeline will be on display at ASCO and EHA. Where we have over 60 acceptances. At ASCO, we will present proof of concept data from three exciting solid tumor programs moving into late-stage clinical trials, which Lai will tell you more about shortly.
John V. Oyler: At ASCO, we will present proof of concept data from 3 exciting solid tumor programs moving into late-stage clinical trials, which Lai will tell you more about shortly. I will begin today by highlighting the exceptional commercial and clinical progress of BRUKINSA, which has firmly established itself as the foundational BTK inhibitor. BRUKINSA continued its global leadership in the growing BTK market with Q1 sales of $1.1 billion, representing growth of 38%. We are seeing strong performance in all markets and all indications. BRUKINSA's large, consistent, and expanding body of clinical and real-world evidence has elevated the benchmark for what is possible in CLL. We believe that the data shows that only BRUKINSA provides the long-term outcomes that patients and physicians should expect and should demand. From its inception, BRUKINSA was designed to provide the best-in-class 24/7 BTK inhibition.

From its inception, BRUKINSA was designed to provide the best-in-class 24/7 BTK inhibition.
Speaker #3: I'll begin today by highlighting the exceptional commercial and clinical progress of Brookinsa. Which is firmly established itself as the foundational BTK inhibitor. Brookinsa continued its global leadership in the growing BTK market with first-quarter sales of $1.1 billion.
Speaker #3: Representing growth of 38%. We are seeing strong performance in all markets and all indications. Brookinsa's large, consistent, and expanding body of clinical and real-world evidence has elevated the benchmark for what is possible in CLL.
Speaker #3: We believe that the data shows that only Brookinsa provides the long-term outcomes that patients and physicians should expect and should demand. From its inception, Brookinsa was designed to provide the best-in-class 24/7 BTK inhibition.
Speaker #3: Our hypothesis was that achieving complete and sustained BTK inhibition would result in a superior therapeutic profile. And that has been borne out in the almost seven years since which I'll cover in the next few slides.
John V. Oyler: Our hypothesis was that achieving complete and sustained BTK inhibition would result in a superior therapeutic profile. That has been borne out in the almost 7 years since, which I'll cover in the next few slides. At ASH 2025, BRUKINSA set a new standard in front-line CLL, with 6-year progression-free survival reported at 74% and overall survival of 84%. Adjusting for COVID, those are 77% for PFS and 87% for OS at 6 years. CLL is an indolent disease, and admittedly, much of the data across the various medicines for the first 3 years looks similar. Outcomes beyond this are what truly matter to patients. This slide builds on the scatter plot, but focuses on the landmark reported PFS at years 3 through 6 across Phase 3 trials in front-line CLL.

Speaker #3: At ASH 2025, Brookinsa set a new standard in frontline CLL. With six-year progression-free survival reported at 74% and overall survival of 84%. Adjusting for COVID, those are 77% for PFS and 87% for OS.
Speaker #3: At six years. CLL is an indolent disease, and admittedly, much of the data across the various medicines for the first three years looks similar.
Speaker #3: But outcomes beyond this are what truly matter to patients. So this slide builds on the scatter plot, but focuses on the landmark reported PFS at years three through six across phase three trials in frontline CLL.
Speaker #3: On the left, we see the data for Brookinsa and the two continuous BTK inhibitors. Recognizing the limitations of cross-trial comparisons the early landmark PFS rates for Brookinsa are higher and continue to diverge over time.
John V. Oyler: On the left, we see the data for BRUKINSA and the 2 continuous BTK inhibitors. Recognizing the limitations of cross-trial comparisons, the early landmark PFS rates for BRUKINSA are higher and continue to diverge over time. In year 6, that reaches a delta of 12%, the equivalent of 1 in 8 patients not progressing. On the right, we see an even more pronounced delta between BRUKINSA's landmark PFS and that of fixed-duration regimens such as VO. In year 6, that's a delta of 21% or roughly 1 in 5 patients. In the unmutated population, which is the majority of CLL patients, the difference between continuous BRUKINSA and VO is 27%, which is more than 1 in 4 patients who started the study. Now, AV has not reported the long-term landmark PFS data to be fully represented on this chart.

Speaker #3: In year six, that reaches a delta of 12%. The equivalent of one in eight patients not progressing. On the right, we see an even more pronounced delta between Brookinsa's landmark PFS and that of fixed duration regimens.
Speaker #3: Such as VO. In year six, that's a delta of 21%. Or roughly one in five patients. In the unmutated population, which is the majority of CLL patients, the difference between continuous Brookinsa and VO is 27%.
Speaker #3: Which is more than one in four patients who started the study. Now, AV has not reported the long-term landmark PFS data to be fully represented on this chart.
Speaker #3: But I will note that, despite AMPLIFY being studied in a young, fit population with a median age of 61—versus SEQUOIA's median age of 70—it has the lowest PFS of any regimen at three years.
John V. Oyler: I will note that despite AMPLIFY being studied in a young, fit population, which has a median age of 61 versus SEQUOIA's median age of 70, it has the lowest PFS of any regimen at 3 years. The last AMPLIFY data cut was 30 April 2024, over 2 years ago, and additional follow-up data has not been provided, though. Of course, it exists. BRUKINSA is the only BTK inhibitor that has demonstrated superiority on efficacy versus ibrutinib in a head-to-head trial. Here, we can see the Kaplan-Meier curves from BRUKINSA and the other BTK inhibitors in their respective head-to-head trials versus ibrutinib in relapsed refractory BTK naive CLL patients. BRUKINSA demonstrated superiority with a hazard ratio of 0.69 and a P value of 0.001.

BRUKINSA demonstrated superiority with a hazard ratio of 0.69 and a P value of 0.001.
Speaker #3: The last amplified data cut was April 30th, 2024. Over two years ago. An additional follow-up data has not been provided, though. Of course, it exists.
Speaker #3: Brukinsa is the only BTK inhibitor that has demonstrated superiority on efficacy versus ibrutinib in a head-to-head trial. Here, we can see the Kaplan-Meier curves from Brukinsa and the other BTK inhibitors in their respective head-to-head trials versus ibrutinib in relapsed/refractory BTK-naive CLL patients.
Speaker #3: Brookinsa demonstrated superiority with a hazard ratio of 0.69 and a p-value of 0.001. When we presented the initial early cut of these data to the CLL community, the universal feedback was, "This is great." But in an indolent disease, we need to see longer follow-up.
John V. Oyler: When we presented the initial early cut of these data to the CLL community, the universal feedback was, "This is great. But in an indolent disease, we need to see longer follow-up." There was an important scientific reason for that. Ibrutinib has a known tolerability issues that could potentially influence a patient's ability to stay on the therapy during early treatment. In the ELEVATE-RR study, acalabrutinib had previously showed early PFS separation from ibrutinib, but that early separation was not sustained. As you can see in the middle panel, acalabrutinib actually crossed over and became numerically worse than ibrutinib at roughly 33 months and reported a hazard ratio of 1. Again, while early separation was an encouraging signal, CLL prescribers wanted to see with BRUKINSA sustained separation with longer follow-up to be convinced. You can see that in ALPINE, BRUKINSA showed exactly that.

You can see that in ALPINE, BRUKINSA showed exactly that.
Speaker #3: And there was an important scientific reason for that. Ibrutinib has a known tolerability issues. That could potentially influence a patient's ability to stay on the therapy during early treatment.
Speaker #3: In the ElevateRR study at Kalibrutinib, had previously showed early PFS separation from ibrutinib, but that early separation was not sustained. As you can see in the middle panel, a Kalibrutinib actually crossed over and became numerically worse than ibrutinib at roughly 33 months.
Speaker #3: And reported a hazard ratio of one. And again, while early separation was an encouraging signal, CLL prescribers wanted to see with Brookinsa sustained separation with longer follow-up to be convinced.
Speaker #3: You can see that in Alpine, Brookinsa showed exactly that. After these data were presented, the adoption of Brookinsa began in earnest. HERTO, with a very short follow-up period of only 18 months, shows the weakest early separation versus ibrutinib.
John V. Oyler: After these data were presented, the adoption of BRUKINSA began in earnest. perto, with a very short follow-up period of only 18 months, shows the weakest early separation versus ibrutinib, with a hazard ratio of 0.845 and a P value of 0.4102. The CLL community needs to see much longer follow-up data from perto. Given this curve, perto may face challenges demonstrating statistical superiority on PFS. What about tolerability? perto is self-described as a third-generation BTK inhibitor, with the hope that it would be more tolerable than the second-generation covalent BTK inhibitors. In reality, the BRUIN CLL-314 study, perto demonstrated numerically more adverse events leading to discontinuation than ibrutinib. This is important because it has potential ramifications for use in specific subgroups, such as older patients.

Speaker #3: So what about tolerability? HERTO is self-described as a third-generation BTK inhibitor with the hope that it would be more tolerable than the second generation covalent BTK inhibitors.
Speaker #3: In reality, the Bruin 314 study HERTO demonstrated numerically more adverse events leading to discontinuation than ibrutinib. This is important because it has potential ramifications for use in specific subgroups.
Speaker #3: Such as older patients. Notably, in the Bruin 313 trial in first-line CLL, the average age of patients randomized to HERTO was 65 years old.
John V. Oyler: Notably, in the BRUIN CLL-313 trial in first-line CLL, the average age of patients randomized to pirtobrutinib was 65 years old, roughly 5 years younger than the respective first-line trials for both of the second-generation covalent BTKi's. Taken together, pirtobrutinib's limited follow-up, lack of differentiation on efficacy and tolerability over ibrutinib, and its mechanistic rationale designed for covalent BTKi resistance do not support moving it from the relapse setting, where it currently plays a much-needed role. BRUKINSA's comprehensive body of evidence continues to expand. It consistently is supporting it as the foundational best-in-class BTK inhibitor. Last quarter, we highlighted three published studies that illustrate BRUKINSA's efficacy and safety benefits over the existing fixed-duration regimens, VO, IV, and AV. At ASCO, we'll present new evidence from over 58,000 real-world patient datasets, each of which demonstrate the significant real-world benefits of BRUKINSA.

Speaker #3: Roughly five years younger than the respective first-line trials for both of the second-generation covalent BTK i's. But taken together, HERTO's limited follow-up, lack of differentiation on efficacy and tolerability over ibrutinib, and its mechanistic rationale designed for covalent BTK i resistance do not support moving it from the relapse setting.
Speaker #3: Where it currently plays a much-needed role. Brookinsa's comprehensive body of evidence continues to expand. It consistently is supporting it as the foundational, best-in-class BTK inhibitor.
Speaker #3: Last quarter, we highlighted three published studies that illustrate Brookinsa's efficacy and safety benefits over the existing fixed duration regimens. VO, IV, and AV. And at ASCO, we'll present new evidence from over 58,000 real-world patient data sets each of which demonstrate the significant real-world benefits of Brookinsa.
Speaker #3: While Brookinsa's momentum is the foundational BTK continues, we're aggressively moving to redefine the fixed duration treatment landscape with our next-generation foundational BCL2 inhibitor, Sonro.
John V. Oyler: While BRUKINSA's momentum as the foundational BTK continues, we're aggressively moving to redefine the fixed-duration treatment landscape with our next-generation foundational BCL-2 inhibitor, Sonro. We intentionally designed Sonro to be 14 times more potent and 6 times more selective than venetoclax, and with a much shorter half-life to minimize drug accumulation. This differentiated profile may enable a simpler ramp-up compared to the burdensome monitoring that is required by the first-generation agent. The trial studying this optimized ramp-up schedule is progressing well. sonrotoclax's first approvals are as monotherapy, but its true transformative potential lies in combination with BRUKINSA. The clinical data that we're generating with the combination of BRUKINSA and sonrotoclax is truly exciting. In the 101 trial shown here, sonrotoclax demonstrated a uMRD rate of above 90%, a remarkably flat PFS curve, and a favorable safety profile.

Speaker #3: In the 101 trial shown here, ZS demonstrated a UMRD rate of above 90%. A remarkably flat PFS curve and a favorable safety profile. This compares very favorably with AV on the right, where in a much healthier, younger population, they saw a UMRD of only 34%.
John V. Oyler: This compares very favorably with AV on the right, where in a much healthier, younger population, they saw a uMRD of only 34%. We look forward to sharing updated data from this trial at ASCO. With 3 phase studies underway, the ZS combination has the potential to change the first-line CLL treatment paradigm and enable BeOne to participate in half of the market where today we have no presence. Finally, I wanna highlight the progress of our BTK CDAC, a novel potential therapy for patients who have progressed on other treatments. Our BTK CDAC is first in class. It shows complete BTK degradation and holds a clear mechanistic advantage in terms of BTK mutation coverage. Data presented at ASH 2025 showcased its profound efficacy in heavily pretreated patients, including those with mutations conferring resistance to both covalent and non-covalent BTK inhibitors.

Data presented at ASH 2025 showcased its profound efficacy in heavily pre-treated patients, including those with mutations conferring resistance to both covalent and non-covalent BTK inhibitors.
Speaker #3: In our phase one-two study, the patients receiving the recommended 200 milligram dose achieved an outstanding 94.4% overall response rate, with responses deepening consistently over time.
John V. Oyler: In our Phase 1/2 study, the patients receiving the recommended 200 milligram dose achieved an outstanding 94.4% overall response rate, with responses deepening consistently over time. Based on the strong efficacy and favorable safety profile of the molecule, we're advancing highly ambitious clinical development plan, including several Phase 3 trials that are well underway. We've guided to a potential accelerated approval submission in the US, relapsed refractory CLL in the H2 of this year. In summary, our foundational hematology franchise has never been stronger. BRUKINSA's driving continued global revenue growth, sonrotoclax is poised to disrupt the fixed-duration market. Our BTK CDAC is leading the next wave of innovation in CLL. Only BeOne is uniquely equipped to provide the best-in-class therapies for every CLL patient, regardless of their stage of disease.
John Oyler: In our Phase 1/2 study, the patients receiving the recommended 200 milligram dose achieved an outstanding 94.4% overall response rate, with responses deepening consistently over time. Based on the strong efficacy and favorable safety profile of the molecule, we're advancing highly ambitious clinical development plan, including several Phase 3 trials that are well underway. We've guided to a potential accelerated approval submission in the US, relapsed refractory CLL in the H2 of this year. In summary, our foundational hematology franchise has never been stronger. BRUKINSA's driving continued global revenue growth, sonrotoclax is poised to disrupt the fixed-duration market. Our BTK CDAC is leading the next wave of innovation in CLL.

Speaker #2: Thanks, John. In Q1, we sustained strong business momentum across our product portfolio. Product revenue reached $1.5 billion in the quarter, representing 34% year-over-year growth.
Aaron Rosenberg: Thanks, John. In Q1, we sustained strong business momentum across our product portfolio. Product revenue reached $1.5 billion in the quarter, representing 34% year-over-year growth. BRUKINSA global revenues totaled $1.1 billion, with strong growth and performance across all approved markets and indications. In the US, BRUKINSA Q1 sales were $761 million, principally driven by volume growth of approximately 28% versus Q1 2025. The US saw a mid-single-digit pricing benefit on a year-over-year basis, with non-recurring gross to net favorability of approximately $20 million in the period. Excluding these items, we continue to expect relatively stable pricing in 2026, consistent with prior commentary. Q1 results reflect the typical seasonality pattern seen across the BTKi class, including inventory dynamics and one fewer shipping week in the Q1.

Speaker #2: Q1 results reflect the typical seasonality pattern seen across the BTKI class, including inventory dynamics and one fewer shipping week in the first quarter. The business performed nicely relative to our range of expectations for the quarter, with increasingly positive demand signals in March, which have carried through to April.
Aaron Rosenberg: The business performed nicely relative to our range of expectations for the quarter, with increasingly positive demand signals in March, which have carried through to April. We are confident around performance in the US for the year. This is reflected in our guidance update. Meanwhile, TEVIMBRA reported a 20% increase, with sustained market leadership in China despite the competitive environment. We are pleased with contributions from launch markets, with approximately half of the growth for TEVIMBRA coming from markets outside of China. In-license and other products also showed continued strength, growing 27% year over year, including robust performance from our Amgen in-license portfolio. XGEVA continued to perform very well in the quarter, with $90 million of revenue. Of note, we did see several biosimilar entrants file for approval in April, which could lead to enhanced competition for XGEVA.

Speaker #2: We continue to drive demand growth for Brookinsa in Europe in all major markets, and there remains plenty of opportunity to increase brand share, given Brookinsa's differentiated, long-term data, across all patient types.
Aaron Rosenberg: We continue to drive demand growth for BRUKINSA in Europe in all major markets, and there remains plenty of opportunity to increase brand share given BRUKINSA's differentiated long-term data across all patient types. While the AB combination has yet to achieve broad market reimbursement, we have observed BCL-2, BTKi fixed-dose treatments gaining traction in some early markets. As we've discussed, Europe is a more mature market for these fixed-dose treatments given the legacy availability of venetoclax plus ibrutinib. The long-term data is clear on the efficacy and durability of BRUKINSA across all patient risk factors, particularly for the large unmutated population, which we expect will continue to support growth moving forward. Rest of world markets grew 104%, driven by market expansions and new launches in key markets such as Japan and Brazil. Now turning to the other components of our GAAP P&L.

Speaker #1: In addition, we acquired an exclusive option to license a novel PD1 VGF CTLA4 trispecific, which is expected to enter the clinic in June. In immunology, we made a data-driven decision not to pursue IRAC4 in rheumatoid arthritis, while the BDKC deck CSU phase 2 study is on track to initiate by year-end.

The progress you just saw reflects the very deliberate way we are building our pipeline. Our strategy starts with focus, selecting a small number of disease areas where we believe we can lead, then building depth, not just the single assets. What enables this approach is our in-house technology stack. Spanning CDAC, novel payload ADCs, cell therapy, and emerging platforms like T cell engagers. We're not bound to a specific target or platform alone. We systematically match the right biology with the right modality to build a pipeline that is deep and sustainable.

Speaker #1: We systematically match the right biology with the right modality to build a pipeline that is deep and sustainable. That engine has clearly accelerated, from 2011 to 2020, we delivered 11 new molecular entities building the foundation with assets like Zanio and Tesla.
Lai Wang: The engine has clearly accelerated. From 2011 to 2020, we delivered 11 new molecular entities, building the foundation with assets like ZANU and the tislelizumab. Between 2021 and 2023, we added another 10 NMEs, demonstrating consistent productivity and execution. The momentum stepped up again in the last two years, with 18 NMEs across small molecules, CDAC, ADC, and bi- and tri-specific antibodies, reflecting the maturation of our in-house platforms. Looking ahead, we expect to sustain a cadence of roughly 8 to 10 NMEs per year from 2026 and beyond. Innovation at BeOne is accelerating, systematic, and built to scale. As our innovation engine accelerates, it is producing a broad but intentionally focused pipeline. Across our key disease areas, we have built depth with multiple mechanisms and modalities coexisting within the same indications.

Speaker #1: This is important because it creates unique opportunities for pupil artery combinations developed entirely within our own portfolio, which drives higher return on investment rather than relying on external assets.
Lai Wang: This is important because it creates unique opportunities for proprietary combinations developed entirely within our own portfolio, which drives higher return on investment rather than relying on external assets. 2026 marks a true inflection year for our solid tumor portfolio. After several years of disciplined build-out, we now have a new wave of programs advancing toward registration. In breast cancer, our CDK4 inhibitor is moving to late-stage development in a large, well-established setting, while the B7-H4 ADC continues to advance with encouraging signals in gynecological and breast cancers. In liver cancer, the GPC3x4-1BB bispecific represents a focused first-in-class approach designed specifically for HCC, with a potentially pivotal study actively enrolling. We're also advancing our PRMT5 inhibitor, which is already being evaluated in first-line settings, underscoring its potential relevance in earlier lines of therapy.

Speaker #1: Finally, based on the exciting early data, we're planning pivotal trials for our CADC, further strengthening the solid tumor portfolio. Taken together, our solid tumor pipeline is clearly shifting from early promise to late-stage execution, with multiple programs advancing toward meaningful late-stage milestones.
Lai Wang: Finally, based on the exciting early data, we are planning pivotal trials for our CDAC, further strengthening the solid tumor portfolio. Taken together, our solid tumor pipeline is currently shifting from early promise to late-stage execution, with multiple programs advancing toward meaningful late-stage milestones. While several of these programs we highlight are in large, well-understood cancers, such as CDK4 in breast cancer, there remains less appreciation for the opportunity in hepatocellular carcinoma, HCC. As we said at JPM, there is much work left to do in cancer, and HCC is a clear example. As the sixth most common cancer worldwide, it is the third leading cause of cancer deaths, reflecting dismal five-year survival rates that are well below many other major cancers. A truly differentiated, potentially game-changing approach in this setting can meaningfully improve patient outcomes and expand what is already a multi-billion-dollar market.

Speaker #1: The unmet medical needs you just saw in HCC demand not only innovation, but the ability to execute with sense of urgency. Our first-in-class program, GPC341BB, is a clear demonstration of our unprecedented clinical execution capability.
Lai Wang: The unmet medical need you just saw in HCC demands not only innovation, but the ability to execute with sense of urgency. Our first in class program, GPC3x4-1BB, is a clear demonstration of our unprecedented clinical execution capabilities. We moved from first-in-human dosing to enrolling the first patient in a potentially registrational study in just 19 months. This is exceptionally fast for a novel bispecific in solid tumor. Dose escalation was completed in under 6 weeks per cohort. We have enrolled over 200 patients in 20 months, including over 45 first-line HCC patients treated in combination with tislelizumab and bevacizumab, giving us early experience across clinical meaningful settings. Along the way, the program has received a Fast Track and Orphan Drug Designation by FDA.

Lai Wang: At the bottom of this slide is the simple view of the potential pivotal study design, with ORR by RC as the primary endpoints. ASCO 2026 will be an important moment for BeOne. We have 24 abstracts accepted, including three oral presentations, underscoring both the breadth and the momentum of our pipeline. You will see the clinical updates across key programs, including our CDK4 inhibitor, B7-H4 ADC, and the GPC3x4-1BB. Please join us at our ASCO Investor Relations event on 1 June to learn more about our clinical data and why we are so excited about these assets. At BeOne, we move quickly to clinical proof of concept and advance only programs with the strongest data into late-stage development. You can see how that discipline is being applied across the portfolio in the actions we are taking this year.

Lai Wang: We will have additional data disclosure this year for programs such as PRMT5 and the CDAC. While new assets like ADAM9 and QRG1 have recently entered the clinic. At the same time, we have made a data-driven deprioritization decisions in programs such as CDK2 inhibitor, EGFR CDAC, c-MET inhibitor, and the Pan-KRAS inhibitor, allowing us to reallocate resource toward the potentially highest impact opportunities. This is exactly how our strategy is intended to work. Move faster to prove concept, identify the most promising candidates, and invest aggressively to maximize patient impact. In addition to our focus on our internal breakthroughs, we are further strengthening our pipeline through selective external innovation. BON-110 is a good example of that approach, and it represents a potential IO backbone for our solid tumor portfolio.

Speaker #1: While the differentiates the tri-specific from PD1 VGF bispecific is the addition of a CTRA form, which gives the potential for deeper, more durable immune activation.
Lai Wang: What differentiates the trispecific from PD-1/VEGF bispecific is the addition of a CTLA-4, which gives the potential for deeper and more durable immune activation. Importantly, this creates broad opportunity for proprietary combinations across our pipeline, including ADCs and the 4-1BB-based programs. This program is on track to enter clinic next month. We have covered most of the milestones already. I will just call out three remaining 2026 catalysts. First, we expect to initiate a solo phase 3 study in second-line plus multiple myeloma later this year, extending our BCL-2 strategy into a new important patient population. Second, in the second half of this year, assuming the data is supportive, we expect an accelerated approval submission for our BTK CDAC in relapsed refractory CLL.

Yigal Nochomovitz: Hi. Great. Thank you very much for taking the questions. John, you've consistently highlighted BRUKINSA as the only BTK to demonstrate superiority versus ibrutinib in ALPINE, as you just noted on slide 10. I'm just curious, 'cause one of your competitors, Lilly, has also been highlighting perto's performance versus as recently as some of their materials, in their recent earnings call stating 76% risk reduction versus ibrutinib in treatment-naive and 27% PFS risk reduction in relapsed/refractory BTK-naive. I'm just wondering if you could help contextualize that and sort of sort out the apparent disconnect there. Thank you.
Yigal Nochomovitz: Hi. Great. Thank you very much for taking the questions. John, you've consistently highlighted BRUKINSA as the only BTK to demonstrate superiority versus ibrutinib in ALPINE, as you just noted on slide 10. I'm just curious, 'cause one of your competitors, Lilly, has also been highlighting perto's performance versus as recently as some of their materials, in their recent earnings call stating 76% risk reduction versus ibrutinib in treatment-naive and 27% PFS risk reduction in relapsed/refractory BTK-naive. I'm just wondering if you could help contextualize that and sort of sort out the apparent disconnect there. Thank you.
Speaker #4: Hi, great. Thank you very much for taking the questions. John, you've consistently highlighted Brukinza as the only BTK to demonstrate superiority versus Ibrutinib in Alpine, as you just noted on slide 10.
Speaker #4: I'm just curious, because one of your competitors, Lilly, is also been highlighting pure dose performance versus. As recently as some of their materials in the recent earnings call, stating 76% risk reduction versus Ibrutinib in treatment naive and 27% PFS risk reduction in relapse refractory BTK naive.
Speaker #4: So I'm just wondering if you could help contextualize that and sort of sort out the apparent disconnect there. Thank you.
Speaker #2: Here you go. Thanks for the question. Appreciate it. And I think that's probably best handled by Amit.
John V. Oyler: Hey, Yigal. Thanks for the question. Appreciate it. I think that's probably best handled by Amit.
John Oyler: Hey, Yigal. Thanks for the question. Appreciate it. I think that's probably best handled by Amit.
Speaker #5: Yeah, happy to take that, John. Thank you for that question. So unequivocally, what we're saying is correct. Brukinza is the only BTKI to demonstrate superiority to Ibrutinib in a head-to-head study.
Amit Aggarwal: Yeah. Happy to take that, John. Thank you for that question. Unequivocally, what we're saying is correct. BRUKINSA is the only BTKi to demonstrate superiority to ibrutinib in a head-to-head study. Before I talk about some of the specific problems with the pirtobrutinib claims, let me just talk about a couple of important study conduct principles. In an open-label study, when you have two arms being compared, the standard industry practice based on regulatory guidance is to actually look at the data assessed by an independent review committee or an IRC, rather than relying on investigator assessments. This is for the obvious reason that investigator assessments can favor the experimental arm over the control arm. Also, it is important to ensure that there is no discordance in the investigator and IRC results, and I'll come back to that in a minute.
Amit Agarwal: Yeah. Happy to take that, John. Thank you for that question. Unequivocally, what we're saying is correct. BRUKINSA is the only BTKi to demonstrate superiority to ibrutinib in a head-to-head study.

This is for the obvious reason that investigator assessments can favor the experimental arm over the control arm. Also, it is important to ensure that there is no discordance in the investigator and IRC results, and I'll come back to that in a minute.
Speaker #5: So before I talk about some of the specific problems with the PERTO claims, let me just talk about a couple of important study conduct principles.
Speaker #5: So in an open-label study, when you have two arms being compared, the standard industry practice based on regulatory guidance is to actually look at the data assessed by an independent review committee or an IRC.
Speaker #5: Rather than relying on investigators' assessments. This is for the obvious reason that investigators' assessments can favor the experimental arm over the control arm. Also, it is important to ensure that there is no discordance in the investigator and IRC results.
Speaker #5: And I'll come back to that in a minute. A second important aspect is that there should be predefined alpha allocation for the subgroups being tested and the order of testing itself.
Amit Aggarwal: A second important aspect is that there should be predefined alpha allocation for the subgroups being tested and the order of testing itself. All of the claims have to be based on alpha-allocated predefined subgroups rather than exploratory subgroups. With that, to talk a little bit more specifically about the BRUIN 314 base claims. Now, what you may have seen in some of the presentations is a claim on risk reduction compared to ibrutinib in the relapse relapse setting of about 26%. If you actually look at the IRC data, and John had this in his previous, in his presentation, what you see is that there are only 2 events that separate the two arms. The Perto arm has reported 48 events, and the ibrutinib arm has noted 50 events.
Amit Agarwal: A second important aspect is that there should be predefined alpha allocation for the subgroups being tested and the order of testing itself. All of the claims have to be based on alpha-allocated predefined subgroups rather than exploratory subgroups. With that, to talk a little bit more specifically about the BRUIN 314 base claims.

The Perto arm has reported 48 events, and the ibrutinib arm has noted 50 events.
Speaker #5: So all of the claims have to be based on alpha allocated predefined subgroups rather than exploratory subgroups. So with that, to talk a little bit more specifically about the Bruin 314-based claims, now what you may have seen in some of the presentations is a claim on risk reduction compared to Ibrutinib in the relapse setting of about 26%.
Speaker #5: But if you actually look at the IRC data, and John had this in his previous in his presentation, what you see is that there are only two events that separate the two arms.
Speaker #5: So the PERTO arm has reported 48 events, and the Ibrutinib arm has noted 50 events. So if you compare this to the investigator curves, you can see that there is a significant discordance.
Amit Aggarwal: If you compare this to the investigator curves, you can see that there is a significant discordance, and this really highlights the importance of the IRC curves. Now, with the 2 event difference here, the likelihood of this comparison showing statistical significance, even with longer follow-up, seems to be very low. John made the important point that with ibrutinib in particular, as patients are able to tolerate it, we've seen what happened with the ELEVATE-RR study as well. Now moving on to the treatment-naïve group, the claims are even more questionable because this is a very small subgroup of the overall trial population, and according to the JCO paper, is not even listed in the hierarchy of testing. This is not a predefined group. Moreover, even in this group, when you look at the IRCSS difference, that is not statistically significant.

Speaker #5: And this really highlights the importance of the IRC curves. Now, with the two-event difference here, the likelihood of this comparison showing statistical significance, even with longer follow-up, seems to be very low.
Speaker #5: And John made the important point that with Ibrutinib in particular, as patients are able to tolerate it, we've seen what happened with the elevated RR study as well.
Speaker #5: Now, moving on to the treatment naive group, the claims are even more questionable. Because this is a very small subgroup of the overall trial population, and according to the JCO paper, is not even listed in the hierarchy of testing.
Speaker #5: So this is not a predefined group. And moreover, even in this group, when you look at the IRC assessed difference, that is not statistically significant.
Speaker #5: And finally, for the treatment naive group, given the extremely short follow-up of the Bruin study, questions around long-term safety, treatment sequencing, as well as overall benefits over other BTK inhibitors, remains quite questionable.
Amit Aggarwal: Finally, for the treatment-naïve group, given the extremely short follow-up of the BRUIN study, questions around long-term safety, treatment sequencing, as well as overall benefits over other BTK inhibitors remains quite questionable. I think really to conclude, what I can say is, based on all of this data, BRUKINSA remains the only BTK inhibitor to have shown clear superiority. Thank you.
Amit Agarwal: Finally, for the treatment-naïve group, given the extremely short follow-up of the BRUIN study, questions around long-term safety, treatment sequencing, as well as overall benefits over other BTK inhibitors remains quite questionable. I think really to conclude, what I can say is, based on all of this data, BRUKINSA remains the only BTK inhibitor to have shown clear superiority. Thank you.
Speaker #5: So I think really to conclude what I can say is based on all of this data, Brukinza remains the only BTK inhibitor to have shown clear superiority.
Speaker #5: Thank you.
John V. Oyler: Thanks, Amit. I don't think that's a, like, technical statistical answer. I think this is the governing chart, IRC, that the industry recognizes. As Amit shared, the data is what the data is. Anyway, we're very comfortable with that statement. Okay. Thank you. Operator, could we have the next question, please?
Speaker #2: Thanks, Amit. And I don't think that's a technical statistical answer. I think this is the governing chart. IRC, that the industry recognizes. And as Amit shared, the data is what the data is.

Kalpit Patel: Good morning, thanks for taking the questions. One on BRUKINSA's CELESTIAL trial. We were expecting uMRD results, but we didn't see that on the slide deck. Curious on the update there. Second, for the degrader, the CDAC, what hurdle are you targeting, what efficacy hurdle for filing for accelerated approval? Thank you.
Speaker #5: Good morning and thanks for taking the questions. One on Brukinza's Celestial TNCLL trial. We were expecting you, MRD results, but we didn't see that on the slide deck.

Second, for the degrader, the CDAC, what hurdle are you targeting, what efficacy hurdle for filing for accelerated approval? Thank you.
Speaker #5: So curious on the update there. And then second, for the degrader, the CDAC, what hurdle are you targeting? What efficacy hurdle for filing for accelerator approval?
Speaker #5: Thank you.
Speaker #2: Thanks so much. Those are great questions, but I think we're back to you, Amit.
John V. Oyler: Thanks so much. Those are great questions, but I think we're back to you, Amit.
John Oyler: Thanks so much. Those are great questions, but I think we're back to you, Amit.
Speaker #5: Yeah, happy to take those as well. Thank you, John. So for the Celestial UMRD question, let me start by talking a little bit about how that study is set up.
Amit Aggarwal: Yeah, happy to take those as well. Thank you, John. For the CELESTIAL UMRD question, let me start by talking a little bit about how that study is set up. Just as a quick reminder, the CELESTIAL 301 study effectively has dual primary endpoints. One is the UMRD at the end of the treatment in the 2 arms, and the other is PFS, or progression-free survival. In our case, progression-free survival is the traditional regulatory endpoint and is the base case for our filing. We expect PFS to be the endpoint that will support regulatory approval for that regimen. UMRD is not currently accepted as a regulatory endpoint, obviously it remains scientifically very interesting, as well as there's efforts ongoing from a regulatory perspective as well.
Amit Agarwal: Yeah, happy to take those as well. Thank you, John. For the CELESTIAL UMRD question, let me start by talking a little bit about how that study is set up.

Speaker #5: So just as a quick reminder, the Celestial 301 study effectively has dual primary endpoints. One is the UMRD at the end of the treatment in the two arms.
Speaker #5: And the other is PFS or progression-free survival. So in our case, progression-free survival is the traditional regulatory endpoint. And is the base case for our filing?
Speaker #5: So we expect PFS to be the endpoint that will support regulatory approval for that regimen. UMRD is not currently accepted as a regulatory endpoint, but obviously remains scientifically very interesting.
Speaker #5: As well as there's efforts ongoing from a regulatory perspective as well. So in Q3 of this year, our IDMC will review the UMRD data across the arms and tell us whether statistical significance has been met or not.
Amit Aggarwal: In Q3 of this year, our IDMC will review the UMRD data across the arms and tell us whether statistical significance has been met or not. Irrespective of the outcomes for UMRD, we will disclose that externally at the next proximate opportunity, and the study will continue to the PFS readout, essentially unchanged with no change in the study conduct. It is worth noting that demonstrating statistical significance versus VO is an extremely high bar, and if positive, the CELESTIAL 301 study would be the first study to show UMRD superiority for a BTK and BCL-2 combination over VO. In prior large studies, VO has shown the highest benchmark UMRD rates. Just as an example, if you look at the recently reported CLL17 trial, the UMRD rates for VO are 73.3%, and for VI they are 47.2%.

Speaker #5: Irrespective of the outcomes for UMRD, we would disclose that externally at the next proximate opportunity and the study will continue to the PFS readout essentially unchanged with no change in the study conduct.
Speaker #5: Now, it is worth noting that demonstrating statistical significance versus VO is an extremely high bar. And if positive, the Celestial 301 study would be the first study to show UMRD superiority for a BTK and BCL2 combination over VO.
Speaker #5: In prior large studies, VO has shown the highest benchmark UMRD rates. So just as an example, if you look at the recently reported CLL17 trial, the UMRD rates for VO are 73.3% and for VI, they are 47.2%.
Speaker #5: Even with the UMRD rate difference of 25% in the two arms, the PFS for VO and VI are essentially superimposable. So you can imagine that even if the ZS UMRD rates are on par with the VO rates, we will actually feel quite good about the likelihood of demonstrating PFS benefit.
Amit Aggarwal: Even with the uMRD rate difference of 25% in the two arms, the PFS for VO and VI are essentially superimposable. You can imagine that even if the ZS uMRD rates are on par with the VO rates, we will actually feel quite good about the likelihood of demonstrating PFS benefit. Based on this data and the data that we've seen to date with the sonrotoclax 101 study, we remain very confident in achieving the PFS endpoint, even if uMRD is not statistically significant. Also, we have a separate ongoing Phase 3 head-to-head versus AV, which we feel based on the data presented so far, represents a meaningfully lower bar for uMRD than VO in terms of the MRD rates. Either trial can enable global registration in that frontline setting. We look forward to bringing ZS to patients based on these two trials.

Speaker #5: Now, quickly, just on the degrader, we've been enrolling patients in the relapse refractory patients in a Phase 2 study. And as far as benchmarks are concerned, I think this is an evolving area depending on what are considered available and approved therapies in the US.
Amit Aggarwal: Now, quickly, just on the degrader, we've been enrolling relapsed refractory patients in a phase 2 study. As far as benchmarks are concerned, I think this is an evolving area depending on what are considered available and approved therapies in the US. Certainly, you know, based on that study and as well as studies run with pirtobrutinib as monotherapy, we're sort of looking at a benchmark of somewhere between 50% to 70%, depending on the population. Back to you, John.

Speaker #5: But certainly, based on that study and as well as the studies run with PERT or BRUTNIB as monotherapy, we're sort of looking at a benchmark of somewhere between 50% to to 70% depending on the population.
Speaker #5: Thank you, John.
Speaker #2: Thanks so much for the answer. And could we have the next question, please?
John V. Oyler: Thanks so much for the answer. Could we have the next question, please?
John Oyler: Thanks so much for the answer. Could we have the next question, please?
Speaker #3: Thank you. Yes, our next question is from Jessica Fy from JPMorgan. Please unmute your line and ask your question.
Operator: Thank you. Yes. Our next question is from Jessica Fye from JP Morgan. Please unmute your line and ask your question.
Operator: Thank you. Yes. Our next question is from Jessica Fye from JP Morgan. Please unmute your line and ask your question.
Speaker #4: Hey, guys. Good morning. Thanks for taking my questions. I was just hoping you could give us a status update of where you think we're at with Brukinsa's launch in Europe.
Jessica Fye: Hey, guys. Good morning. Thanks for taking my questions. I was just hoping you could give us a status update of what inning you think we're in of BRUKINSA's launch in Europe.
Jessica Fye: Hey, guys. Good morning. Thanks for taking my questions. I was just hoping you could give us a status update of what inning you think we're in of BRUKINSA's launch in Europe.
Speaker #4: And then for the BTK CDAC, which I believe you suggested could be launching next year in relapse refractory CLL following potential filing later this year, can you talk about how we should think about the initial launch ramp for that one?
Jessica Fye: For the BTK CDAC, which I believe you suggested could be launching next year in relapsed/refractory CLL, following potential filing later this year. Can you talk about how we should think about the initial launch ramp for that one? Thank you.
Jessica Fye: For the BTK CDAC, which I believe you suggested could be launching next year in relapsed/refractory CLL, following potential filing later this year. Can you talk about how we should think about the initial launch ramp for that one? Thank you.
Speaker #4: Thank you.
John V. Oyler: Perhaps I can kind of answer the first question. I'm not very good at innings because I'm from Pittsburgh, and our baseball team is not so great. You know, I think as we all know, Europe takes a while to launch and to work your way onto reimbursement. You know, I think we've always been behind there versus the US. We're very encouraged by what we see, but I think that it's still pretty early in those days, and we see the opportunity for substantial growth for BRUKINSA as a single agent. Of course, with the combination, when Sonro comes into play, you know, we think this is, you know, game-changing. You know, the opportunity for that is just, you know, tremendous in every country across the world. That's the first question. The second question-
Speaker #2: Perhaps I can kind of answer the first question. I'm not very good at innings because I'm from Pittsburgh and our baseball team is not so great.
John Oyler: Perhaps I can kind of answer the first question. I'm not very good at innings because I'm from Pittsburgh, and our baseball team is not so great.

Of course, with the combination, when Sonro comes into play, you know, we think this is, you know, game-changing. You know, the opportunity for that is just, you know, tremendous in every country across the world. That's the first question. The second question-
Speaker #2: But I think as we all know, Europe takes a while to launch and to work your way on to reimbursement. And I think we've always been behind there versus the US.
Speaker #2: We're very encouraged by what we see, but I think that it's still pretty early in those days and we see the opportunity for substantial growth for Brukinza as a single agent.
Speaker #2: Of course, with the combination, when SONRO comes into play, we think this is game-changing. And the opportunity for that is just tremendous in every country across the world.
Speaker #2: That's the first question. The second question, let's see that launch ramp. On the CDAC launch ramp, I think that's a question that we could refer to Matt.
Matt Shaulis: The CDAC launch ramp.
Jessica Fye: The CDAC launch ramp.
John V. Oyler: On the CDAC launch ramp, I think that's a question that we could refer to Matt.
John Oyler: On the CDAC launch ramp, I think that's a question that we could refer to Matt.
Speaker #1: Yeah. Hi. Glad to take that question around CDAC launch ramp. I think you've already heard from Amit and also from John about aspects of the CDAC clinical profile.
Matt Shaulis: Yeah. Hi. Glad to take that question around CDAC launch ramp. I think you've already heard from Amit and also from John about aspects of the CDAC clinical profile, which we anticipate will be very strong, and particularly note the head-to-head trial design versus pirtobrutinib in those later lines of therapy. In terms of overall launch ramp, we think that it should be relatively robust. Would anticipate, you know, typical S-shaped uptake curve. Again, we think it's a well-prepared market, and we're confident about its prospects.
Matt Shaulis: Yeah. Hi. Glad to take that question around CDAC launch ramp. I think you've already heard from Amit and also from John about aspects of the CDAC clinical profile, which we anticipate will be very strong, and particularly note the head-to-head trial design versus pirtobrutinib in those later lines of therapy. In terms of overall launch ramp, we think that it should be relatively robust. Would anticipate, you know, typical S-shaped uptake curve. Again, we think it's a well-prepared market, and we're confident about its prospects.
Speaker #1: Which we anticipate will be very strong and particularly note the head-to-head trial design versus peer-toe in those later lines of therapy. So in terms of overall launch ramp, we think that it should be relatively robust.
Speaker #1: Would anticipate a typical S-shaped uptake curve, but again, we think it's a well-prepared market. And we're confident about its prospects.
Speaker #2: And I think one of the nice things about that, programming and SONRO is both of these largely leverage the existing infrastructure that we have in place.
John V. Oyler: I think one of the nice things about that, you know, program and Sonro is both of these largely leverage the existing infrastructure that we have in place, you know, which is, you know, great for us and makes it a much easier effort. It's also, you know, economically highly favorable. That's a great thing about having several programs that overlap on the, you know, clinicians that are using those medicines. Okay. Thank you so much. Can we have the next question, please?
John Oyler: I think one of the nice things about that, you know, program and Sonro is both of these largely leverage the existing infrastructure that we have in place, you know, which is, you know, great for us and makes it a much easier effort. It's also, you know, economically highly favorable. That's a great thing about having several programs that overlap on the, you know, clinicians that are using those medicines. Okay. Thank you so much. Can we have the next question, please?
Speaker #2: Which is great for us and makes it much easier effort. But it's also economically highly favorable. So that's a great thing about having several programs that overlap on the clinicians that are using those medicines.
Speaker #2: Okay, thank you so much. Can we have the next question, please?

Speaker #5: Hey, guys. Thanks for taking my question. Just wanted to ask on the immunology programs. Looks like CSU is moving ahead potentially to a Phase 2, I guess.
Leonid Timashev: Hey, guys. Thanks for taking my question. Just wanted to ask on the immunology programs. Looks like CSU is moving ahead potentially to a Phase 2, I guess. Is that suggesting that you're encouraged by what you're seeing out of the Phase 1b? Related to that, could you maybe provide some color on why the IRAK4 in RA was discontinued? Thanks.
Leonid Timashev: Hey, guys. Thanks for taking my question. Just wanted to ask on the immunology programs. Looks like CSU is moving ahead potentially to a Phase 2, I guess. Is that suggesting that you're encouraged by what you're seeing out of the Phase 1b? Related to that, could you maybe provide some color on why the IRAK4 in RA was discontinued? Thanks.
Speaker #5: Does that suggest that you're encouraged by what you're seeing out of the Phase 1b? And, related to that, could you maybe provide some color on why the IRAC4 in RA was discontinued?
Speaker #5: Thanks.
Speaker #2: Sure. I think probably lie your best to answer that question, please.
John V. Oyler: Sure. I think probably Lai, you're best to answer that question, please.
John Oyler: Sure. I think probably Lai, you're best to answer that question, please.
Speaker #1: Yeah. We are planning to initiate the Phase 2 for our BTK CDAC program in the CSU by the end of the year. In terms of based on the current data we have seen from the Phase 1 study, in terms for the IRAC4 in the rheumatoid arthritis, we decided to not further pursue the RA trial based on emerging new data.
Lai Wang: Yeah. We are planning to initiate the Phase 2 for our BTK CDAC program in the CSU by the end of the year. In term, based on the current data we have seen from the Phase 1 study. In term for the IRAK4, in the rheumatoid arthritis, we decide to not further pursue the IE trial based on emerging new data. We are in the process of analyzing the data and decide the next steps for this program.
Lai Wang: Yeah. We are planning to initiate the Phase 2 for our BTK CDAC program in the CSU by the end of the year. In term, based on the current data we have seen from the Phase 1 study.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question is from Ziyi Chen from Goldman Sachs. Please unmute your line and ask your question.
Ziyi Chen: Thank you for taking my question. Congrats on a very strong first quarter. Just 1 question regarding the recent deal on the HH160, the PD-1/VEGF CTLA-4 trispecific. Could you share a bit more about your view on the SN, particularly amid the competition of emerging PD-1/VEGF bispecific and different strategy for trispecific? Talking about the Fc silent strategy, it's definitely gonna be reduced toxicity of DC204, but it's gonna lose potentially TREG depletion. What is your view on that? Thank you.
Speaker #1: Thank you for taking my question and congrats at a very strong first quarter. Just one question regarding the recent deal on the Touch 160, the PD-1 VHF CTLA-4 tri-specific.
Ziyi Chen: Thank you for taking my question. Congrats on a very strong first quarter. Just 1 question regarding the recent deal on the HH160, the PD-1/VEGF CTLA-4 trispecific. Could you share a bit more about your view on the SN, particularly amid the competition of emerging PD-1/VEGF bispecific and different strategy for trispecific? Talking about the Fc silent strategy, it's definitely gonna be reduced toxicity of DC204, but it's gonna lose potentially TREG depletion. What is your view on that? Thank you.
Speaker #1: Could you share a bit more about your view on the asset and particularly amid the competition of emerging PD-1 VHF bispecific and also different strategy for tri-specific?
Speaker #1: And also talking about the FC silent strategy, it's definitely going to be reduced toxicity of the CTLA-4, but also it's going to lose potentially TREC depletion.
Speaker #1: So what is your view on that? Thank you.
Speaker #2: Sure. Thank you so much for the question. Again, I think we'll go right back to lie.
John V. Oyler: Sure. Thank you so much for the question. I think we'll go right back to Lai.
John Oyler: Sure. Thank you so much for the question. I think we'll go right back to Lai.
Speaker #1: Yeah. This molecule, we call it BON110, previously called HH160, was engineered to simultaneously block in the three well-established pathways. And there certainly has been bispecific between the PD-1 VGF and the PD-1 CTLA-4 demonstrating clinical activity.
Lai Wang: Yeah. This molecule, we call the BON-110, previous called the HH160, was engineered to simultaneously block the 3 well-established pathway. That certainly has been bispecific between the PD-1 VEGF and the PD-1 CTLA-4, demonstrating clinical activity. We believe by adding the CTLA-4 arm will present potential differentiation from the current ecosystem bispecifics. As for the tuning out the Fc function is to exactly to the point you raised, is to try to mitigate the tox concern. We do believe from frequent data, this kind of engineering will be able to still retain largely the efficacy by removing some of the safety liabilities.
Lai Wang: Yeah. This molecule, we call the BON-110, previous called the HH160, was engineered to simultaneously block the 3 well-established pathway.

We do believe from frequent data, this kind of engineering will be able to still retain largely the efficacy by removing some of the safety liabilities.
Speaker #1: We believe by adding the CTLA-4, we'll present potential differentiation from the current existing bispecifics. As for the tuning out to the FC function, it's too exactly to the point you raised.
Speaker #1: It's to try to mitigate the toxic concern. We do believe from preclinical data, this kind of engineering will be able to still retain largely the efficacy, but removing some of the safety liabilities.
John V. Oyler: Thank you, Lai. All right. Could we have another question, please?

Gregory Renza: Great. Thanks. Good morning, John and team. Congrats on the quarter. Thanks for taking my question. Maybe I'll weave in Aaron here for a bit and just ask a bit on the guidance. Aaron, you acknowledged that you like what you see with the growth in the markets, but also some assessment of recent trends. Perhaps you could just elaborate further on the pieces that enabled you to feel confident about revenue performance for the rest of the year. If you could, if I may just ask a bit about some of the factors to consider when it comes to the net pricing.

Speaker #1: And if you could, if I may, just ask a bit about some of the factors to consider when it comes to the net pricing.
Speaker #1: I think we heard you mention consistency, but just wanted to give you an opportunity to elaborate further on maybe some of those headwinds, but also pressures—if they are by and large past—and into guidance at this point.
Gregory Renza: I think we heard you mention consistency, but just wanted to give you an opportunity to elaborate further on maybe some of those headwinds, but also the pressures if they are by and large, passed into guidance at this point. Thanks so much.

Speaker #1: Thanks so much.
Speaker #4: Great. Thanks for the question, Greg. So as I said in the prepared remarks, we really do like what we see. And the setup for the year Q1 came in on expectations, but particularly we were encouraged by performance in the United States, both in March and into April.
Aaron Rosenberg: Great. Thanks for the question, Greg. As I said in the prepared remarks, you know, we really do like what we see in the setup for the year. Q1 came in on expectations, but particularly we were encouraged by performance in the United States, both in March and into April. You mentioned price. You know, when we issued our original guidance, we talked about relatively stable net pricing. We feel very confident in that as we enter the year, given where we are with our various contracting opportunities. We feel really good about that moving forward for the balance of 2026. I did touch on in Q1, we had $20 million or so of non-recurring gross to net.
Aaron Rosenberg: Great. Thanks for the question, Greg. As I said in the prepared remarks, you know, we really do like what we see in the setup for the year.

Speaker #4: So we feel really good about that moving forward in the for the balance of 2026. I did touch on in Q1, we had 20 million or so of non-recurring gross to net.
Speaker #4: So that obviously occurred in Q1 and we anticipate that will pass through for the year. So overall, we really like where the business is sitting.
Aaron Rosenberg: That obviously occurred in Q1, and we anticipate that will pass through for the year. Overall, we really like where the business is sitting. Strength in the United States, but really strong performance across all of our geographies. I think you see really strong growth with our European business. Our China business continues to perform and demonstrate leadership. You know, we're still in very, you know, using Jessica's analogy, very early innings in Rest of World where the business doubled again in Q1. We really like the setup. That's what gives us confidence for the guidance update with the $100 million improvement across the range. Thanks for the question.

Michael Schmidt: Hey, guys. Congrats on the great Q1 here. Perhaps, switching back to the pipeline, a question about the BGB-B2033 bispecific, where sounds like there's, you know, things are starting to emerge that are quite interesting. Perhaps could you just comment a bit more about the pivotal study in second-line HCC? How should we think about the efficacy bar in this setting? It seems like there's an ORR readout planned. Longer term, how do you think about the overall opportunity for this asset, perhaps in frontline HCC and other opportunities? Thanks so much.

Lai Wang: Feel happy to address this question. In term for the, we're in the process of having the discussion with health authorities to discuss about, you know, the bar. You will see our the phase 1 data at this year's ASCO. The abstract should be released soon, we will have further data updates at the ASCO oral presentation, as well as at our investor relationship events. We're quite confident about the early data we have seen with this asset. Certainly, we have already enrolled over 40 patients in the frontline HCC in combination with tislelizumab as well as bevacizumab. The early data is quite encouraging. We're looking forward to bring this effective medicine to patients around the globe with HCC.

Reni Benjamin: Great. Thanks very much for taking the questions, and congratulations on a great quarter. My question is regarding sonrotoclax and the launch in China. Can you talk a little bit, you know, about kind of how that's going? You know, kind of Is it tracking like BRUKINSA did, or is it tracking according to, you know, internal expectations? Maybe related to that, you know, what do you think might be the competitive dynamics once sonrotoclax is approved here in the US, even though it'll be for MCL. You know, any sort of on-label or potential off-label use that might impact BRUKINSA or, you know, the, the CLL market as a, as a whole? Thank you.
Reni Benjamin: Great. Thanks very much for taking the questions, and congratulations on a great quarter. My question is regarding sonrotoclax and the launch in China.

Speaker #6: Any sort of on-label or potential off-label use that might impact McKinsey or the CLL market as a whole? Thank you.
Speaker #2: Okay. Thanks for the question. Xiaobing, do you want to start? Maybe I can finish.
John V. Oyler: Hey, thanks for the question. Xiaobin Wu, do you wanna start? Maybe I can finish.
John Oyler: Hey, thanks for the question. Xiaobin Wu, do you wanna start? Maybe I can finish.
Speaker #1: Yeah. So the launch is very encouraging. In China, we got approval in January, and eight days later, we launched the product. So far, year-to-date, we have over 300 hospitals across the country.
Xiaobin Wu: The launch is very encouraging. In China, we got approval in January, and 8 days later, we launched the product. YTD, we have over 300 hospitals across the country starting to treat patient in China. sonrotoclax is also included in China in the CSCO guideline for 1st-line CLL, 2nd-line CLL, and also 2nd-line Mantle Cell. For the IML,
Xiaobin Wu: The launch is very encouraging. In China, we got approval in January, and 8 days later, we launched the product. YTD, we have over 300 hospitals across the country starting to treat patient in China. sonrotoclax is also included in China in the CSCO guideline for 1st-line CLL, 2nd-line CLL, and also 2nd-line Mantle Cell. For the IML,
Speaker #1: Started to treat patients in China. And also Soronto is also included in China in the Cisco guideline for first-line CAA, second-line CAA, and also second-line mental CAA.
Speaker #1: And also for the IML, so second-line IML is also listed in the guideline. And we are very, very happy the initial feedback from hospitals are very encouraging.
Xiaobin Wu: Second line MCL is also listed in the guideline. We are very, very happy the initial feedback from hospital is very encouraging. This is China situation.
Xiaobin Wu: Second line MCL is also listed in the guideline. We are very, very happy the initial feedback from hospital is very encouraging. This is China situation.
Speaker #1: So this is China situation.
Speaker #2: Yeah, thanks so much, Xiaobin. I think that with the launch in the US, we're very encouraged by everything we see with Sunro. As we've described, it's a more potent, more selective, specifically designed PK parameters to try to make this a very differentiated and more effective medicine.
John V. Oyler: Yeah. Thanks so much, Xiaodong Wang. I think that with the launch in the US, you know, we're very encouraged by everything we see with BRUKINSA. As we've described, you know, it's a more potent, more selective, specifically designed, you know, PK parameters to try to make this a very differentiated and more effective medicine. We believe that'll be the case in the initial indication where it's approved as a single agent. The combination data, it's just, in our minds, game-changing. Now, you have to work your way to approvals before you're an official commercial product, and we are working our way through that process. At the same time, you know, we will take the data that we have, and we'll share it with the guideline committees all across the world and see if they are willing to have those join the guidelines.
John Oyler: Yeah. Thanks so much, Xiaodong Wang. I think that with the launch in the US, you know, we're very encouraged by everything we see with BRUKINSA. As we've described, you know, it's a more potent, more selective, specifically designed, you know, PK parameters to try to make this a very differentiated and more effective medicine. We believe that'll be the case in the initial indication where it's approved as a single agent. The combination data, it's just, in our minds, game-changing. Now, you have to work your way to approvals before you're an official commercial product, and we are working our way through that process. At the same time, you know, we will take the data that we have, and we'll share it with the guideline committees all across the world and see if they are willing to have those join the guidelines.
Speaker #2: We believe that'll be the case in the initial indication where it's approved as a single agent. And the combination data is just in our minds game-changing.
Speaker #2: Now, you have to work your way to approvals before you're an official commercial product. And we are working our way through that process. At the same time, we will take the data that we have and we'll share it with the guideline committees, all across the world, and see if they are willing to have those join the guidelines.
John V. Oyler: You know, it's great data. You know, hopefully there's some chance that that can occur. We're very, very excited about this as game-changing medicine in many indications based on the data we see today. Okay. Thank you so much. Could we take another question or two, and then we probably have to wrap up.
Speaker #2: And it's great data. So hopefully, there's some chance that that can occur. But we're very, very excited about this as game-changing medicine in many indications based on the data we see today.

Speaker #2: Okay. Thank you so much. Could we take another question or two and then we probably have to wrap up?
Speaker #3: Thank you, our next question is from Yaron Weber from Decowen. Please unmute your line and ask your question.
Operator: Thank you. Our next question is from Yaron Werber from TD Cowen. Please unmute your line and ask your question.
Operator: Thank you. Our next question is from Yaron Werber from TD Cowen. Please unmute your line and ask your question.
Yaron Werber: Great. Thanks so much. Maybe a couple of questions. The first one, you mentioned a little bit that AV, Aaron, is gaining some traction in some markets. I wasn't sure if those were sort of ex-US, and I don't know if you can expand on that. Secondly, on the CDK4 inhibitor at ASCO, any sense sort of what can we expect? How mature would the durability data be at that point on efficacy? Thank you.
Yaron Werber: Great. Thanks so much. Maybe a couple of questions. The first one, you mentioned a little bit that AV, Aaron, is gaining some traction in some markets.

Speaker #6: I wasn't sure if those were sort of ex-US and I don't know if you can expand on that. And then secondly, on the CDK4 inhibitor at ASCO, any sense sort of what can we expect, how durability data be at that point and efficacy?
Speaker #6: Thank you.
John V. Oyler: Thanks, Yaron. Nice to hear your voice too. You stuck in two questions there. I think on the AV question, you know, I think that what Aaron Rosenberg was referring to probably is the statements that they've made that they're having some international, you know, success in some perspective. I think from our point of view, it's not something that we've seen widely in the US, and it's hard for us to track exactly. From the CDK4 perspective, at ASCO, I do believe that we have Mark Lanasa back connected. Let's see if he can handle that question and we can hear him.
Speaker #2: Thanks, Yaron. Nice to hear your voice too. You're stuck in two questions there. I think on the AV question, what Aaron was referring to probably is the statements that they've made that they're having some international success in some perspective.

Speaker #2: From the CDK4 perspective, at ASCO, I do believe that we have marked back connected. So let's see if he can handle that question and we can hear him.
Speaker #7: Thank you, John. And I hope you could hear me okay. Thank you, Yaron, for the super. Thank you, Yaron, for the question. We're very excited to share our updated data at ASCO for our CDK4 program.
Mark Lanasa: Thank you, John. I hope you could hear me okay.
Mark Lanasa: Thank you, John. I hope you could hear me okay.
John V. Oyler: Sounds great.
John Oyler: Sounds great.
Mark Lanasa: Thank you, Yaron, for the question. We're very excited to share our updated data at ASCO for our CDK4 program. We encourage everyone listening to the call to visit our poster, which will be on Monday morning of ASCO. We'll be sharing data from approximately 60 patients who are front line for stage 4 disease treated in combination with letrozole. What we will show is a strong response rate across a range of doses tested that informed our phase 3 dose selection. We'll also be showing early but encouraging data about the beneficial effect of food in improving the GI tolerability profile. Because the anticipated progression-free survival for front line breast cancer is over 2 years, the maturity still remains quite low at this time. Again, we're very excited to share the early efficacy and safety data.

Sean Laaman: Good morning, John and team. Hope everyone's well. John, in the business, you're showing some really strong operating leverage and you've now got meaningfully positive operating income and net income. Maybe it's a question for Aaron, but looking out, how would you characterize sort of growth in OpEx, you know, versus the top line and, you know, just the efficiencies that you're really showing in your R&D engine? Thanks.
Speaker #4: Good morning, John and team. Hope everyone's well. John, in the business, you're showing some really strong operating leverage and you've now got meaningfully positive operating income and net income.

Speaker #2: Please, Aaron.
Speaker #7: Great. Thanks for the question, Sean. I happen to be amongst my favorite questions because that means our pipeline has so much opportunity is going to make such a difference for patients.
Aaron Rosenberg: Great. Thanks for the question, Sean Laaman. I happen to be amongst my favorite questions because that means our pipeline has so much opportunity, it's gonna make such a difference for patients. Ultimately, as you know, that's what creates value in this industry. You know, we don't provide long-term guidance, I've shared a number of times, you know, we really have two objectives as we think about managing the business financially. The first is that we are undoubtedly a growth company. You see that in our performance and in our guidance. The second, to do that in a sustainable way, which means driving continuous operating leverage. Now, we've talked about moving toward margin expansion continuously but in a measured way that matches the opportunity in front of us.

Speaker #7: Now, we've talked about moving toward margin expansion, continuously, but in a measured way that matches the opportunity in front of us. So we really like the setup to be able to hit on both of those objectives.
Aaron Rosenberg: We really like the setup to be able to hit on both of those objectives and look forward to running the business and making a difference relative to our purpose for the long term. Thank you.

John V. Oyler: Thanks a lot, Aaron, I do wanna thank everyone for participating in the call. I think again, in summary, we delivered a very strong first quarter and a solid start to 2026. We executed against our priorities, we drove revenue growth, and we're raising our full year outlook. At the same time, as you can see, the pipeline's entering a really critical phase of execution with foundational strength in hematology and a clear inflection point in solid tumors as our programs are advancing into later-stage development. We have demonstrated again the power of the BeOne superhighway and our strategic competitive advantage that we have in executing, which help make investment in R&D more attractive in our organization than other places in the industry.
Speaker #2: Thanks a lot, Aaron. And I do want to thank everyone for participating in the call. I think, again, in summary, we delivered a very strong first quarter.

Speaker #2: And again, the aspiration and vision of our company, which we feel closer to than we ever have, is to be the company that is creating the most impact for cancer patients globally.
John V. Oyler: Again, the aspiration and vision of our company, which we feel closer to than we ever have, is to be the company that is creating the most impact for cancer patients globally. That means lots of medicines and lots of indications that are truly game-changing for patients. I feel more confident today than I ever have that we're on a path to being that company, not in decades, but in years. I really wanna thank the patients and the families that we serve, our physicians and our partners, and our more than 12,000 colleagues and their families whose focus and urgency make our progress possible. We're really encouraged by the momentum. We're confident where we're headed, and we're focused on developing medicines that are great for patients. Thank you all so much for joining us today, and have a wonderful week.
