We remain on track to initiate a pivotal study for ZL-1310 in SCLC this year, with the goal of securing FDA approval in 2027. In parallel, we are also exploring opportunities in first-line SCLC and other neuroendocrine tumors to unlock the full potential of this important global asset. On the commercial front, we continued to expand patient access for key products and are leveraging our existing infrastructure to support upcoming launches and our next wave of blockbuster opportunities. With a strong foundation in place, we are well positioned to drive growth and profitability, and to further our mission of becoming a leading global biopharmaceutical company.” “2025 marks a transformational year for Zai Lab , and we are executing against the key objectives we set at the start of the year,” said Josh Smiley , President and COO of Zai Lab . “Following a seasonal slowdown of VYVGART early in the year, we saw patient volumes rebound in March and April, and we anticipate a return to strong sequential growth throughout the rest of the year. Looking ahead, our late-stage pipeline, including bemarituzumab and KarXT, is expected to fuel the next wave of topline growth alongside VYVGART. At the same time, we continue to strengthen our financial position, achieving a 20% year-over-year reduction in operating loss and a 25% year-over-year reduction in adjusted operating loss1, keeping us on track to achieve profitability1 in the fourth quarter of 2025. With a strong cash position,2 a growing commercial business and an expanding global portfolio, Zai Lab is poised to capitalize on multiple upcoming catalysts and drive long-term shareholder value.” 1 Refers to adjusted income (loss) from operations (non-GAAP), calculated as GAAP income (loss) from operations adjusted to exclude certain non-cash expenses, including depreciation, amortization, and share-based compensation. For additional information on this adjusted profitability measure, refer to the “Non-GAAP Measures” section. 2 Cash position includes cash and cash equivalents, current restricted cash, and short-term investments. First Quarter 2025 Financial Results Product revenue, net was $105.7 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $87.1 million for the same period in 2024, representing 21% y-o-y growth, 23% y-o-y growth at constant exchange rate (CER). This increase was primarily driven by increased sales for VYVGART, ZEJULA, and NUZYRA. VYVGART and VYVGART Hytrulo were $18.1 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $13.2 million for the same period in 2024. Although quarter over quarter growth was impacted by seasonality, sales grew year over year driven by increasing market coverage and penetration since VYVGART’s launch in September 2023 and listing on China’s National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL) for the treatment of generalized Myasthenia Gravis (gMG) effective January 1, 2024 . ZEJULA was $49.5 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $45.5 million for the same period in 2024. ZEJULA sales remained strong as it continued to be the leading PARP inhibitor in hospital sales for ovarian cancer in mainland China . NUZYRA was $15.1 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $9.9 million for the same period in 2024. This growth was supported by increasing market coverage and penetration. VYVGART and VYVGART Hytrulo were $18.1 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $13.2 million for the same period in 2024. Although quarter over quarter growth was impacted by seasonality, sales grew year over year driven by increasing market coverage and penetration since VYVGART’s launch in September 2023 and listing on China’s National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL) for the treatment of generalized Myasthenia Gravis (gMG) effective January 1, 2024 . ZEJULA was $49.5 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $45.5 million for the same period in 2024. ZEJULA sales remained strong as it continued to be the leading PARP inhibitor in hospital sales for ovarian cancer in mainland China . NUZYRA was $15.1 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $9.9 million for the same period in 2024. This growth was supported by increasing market coverage and penetration. Research and Development (R&D) expenses were $60.7 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $54.6 million for the same period in 2024. This increase was primarily due to upfront fees totaling $20.0 million for our license and collaboration agreements. Other R&D expenses decreased as a result of resource prioritization and efficiency efforts. Selling, General and Administrative expenses were $63.4 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $69.2 million for the same period in 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by decreased personnel costs as a result of resource prioritization and efficiency efforts. Loss from operations was $56.3 million in the first quarter of 2025, $37.1 million when adjusted to exclude 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 $48.4 million in the first quarter of 2025, or a loss per ordinary share attributable to common stockholders of $0.04 (or loss per American Deposit Share (ADS) of $0.45 ), compared to a net loss of $53.5 million for the same period in 2024, or a loss per ordinary share of $0.05 (or loss per ADS of $0.55 ). These decreases in net loss were primarily due to product revenue growing faster than net operating expenses. Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and current restricted cash totaled $857.3 million as of March 31, 2025 , compared to $879.7 million as of December 31, 2024 . Recent Pipeline Highlights Below are key product updates since our last earnings release: Oncology Pipeline ZL-1310 (DLL3 ADC): Second-Line+ Extensive-Stage SCLC (ES-SCLC): In April 2025 , Zai Lab announced that updated data from an ongoing, global Phase 1a/1b clinical trial of ZL-1310 for the treatment of ES-SCLC, will be presented during a poster session at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. The updated results will include additional patients and follow-up from the ongoing trial. Other neuroendocrine tumors: In April 2025 , Zai Lab initiated a global Phase 1/2 study in patients with selected solid tumors, exploring its therapeutic potential beyond ES-SCLC. Second-Line+ Extensive-Stage SCLC (ES-SCLC): In April 2025 , Zai Lab announced that updated data from an ongoing, global Phase 1a/1b clinical trial of ZL-1310 for the treatment of ES-SCLC, will be presented during a poster session at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. The updated results will include additional patients and follow-up from the ongoing trial. Other neuroendocrine tumors: In April 2025 , Zai Lab initiated a global Phase 1/2 study in patients with selected solid tumors, exploring its therapeutic potential beyond ES-SCLC. Tisotumab Vedotin (TIVDAK, Tissue Factor ADC): In March 2025 , China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) accepted the Biologics License Application (BLA) for TIVDAK for the treatment of patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer with disease progression on or after systemic therapy. Zai Lab will leverage its commercial footprint of ZEJULA in women’s cancer to accelerate patient access to this therapy in China if approved. Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields): In April 2025 , Zai Lab partner Novocure announced that the additional results from the Phase 3 PANOVA-3 trial for pancreatic cancer will be presented as a late-breaking oral presentation at the 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting. Zai Lab participated in the study in Greater China (mainland China , Hong Kong , Macau and Taiwan , collectively) and plans to file for regulatory approval in China in 2025.​ Repotrectinib (ROS1/TRK): In April 2025 , China’s NMPA accepted the supplemental New Drug Application for repotrectinib for patients with NTRK-positive solid tumors. Repotrectinib has the potential to become a next-generation TKI that can be used across a broad range of NTRK fusion-positive solid tumors for both TKI-naïve and TKI-pretreated patients. ZL-6201 (LRRC15 ADC): In April 2025 , Zai Lab presented new data at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2025.

Based on these findings, Zai Lab plans to initiate Investigational New Drug (IND)-enabling studies of ZL-6201 as a potential treatment for patients with sarcoma and other LRRC15-positive solid tumors, such as breast cancer and other malignancies, in 2025. ZL-1222 (PD-1/IL-12): In April 2025 , Zai Lab presented data at the AACR Annual Meeting 2025, marking the first public disclosure of this global asset. Findings from preclinical studies demonstrate its potent anti-tumor activity in both anti-PD-1 sensitive and resistant tumor models, with improved systemic safety. These results indicate its potential to benefit patients who are unresponsive or resistant to the current immuno-oncology therapies. Immunology Pipeline Efgartigimod (FcRn): In April 2025 , Zai Lab partner argenx announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved VYVGART Hytrulo prefilled syringe (PFS) for self-injection in gMG and Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP). It is the third administration option providing additional flexibility and convenience for patients. Zai Lab plans to submit the Chemical Manufacturing and Control (CMC) variation for PFS for these indications in China in 2025. ZL-1102 (IL-17 Humabody®): Zai Lab has decided to discontinue the global Phase 2 clinical trial of ZL-1102 following a comprehensive review of the data from interim analysis from the first 40 enrolled participants and the subsequent recommendation of the independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board. Povetacicept (APRIL/BAFF): Zai Lab partner Vertex has completed enrollment of the interim analysis cohort in the global Phase 3 RAINIER study of povetacicept in IgA nephropathy. Zai Lab participated in the study in Greater China . Anticipated Major Milestones in 2025 Upcoming Potential NMPA Submissions Bemarituzumab (FGFR2b): BLA submission in first-line gastric cancer.

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 measures. We believe that these non-GAAP 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 accompanying GAAP financial measures.
