The three-year follow-up data from the Phase 3 CARTITUDE-4 trial provides compelling evidence of CARVYKTI's durable efficacy. The
Most remarkable is the speed of response, with the majority of patients achieving MRD negativity in under two months - significantly faster than conventional therapies that often require multiple treatment cycles. This rapid deep response has profound implications for patient quality of life and healthcare resource utilization.
Spain's reimbursement approval for second-line plus settings is clinically significant as it enables earlier intervention with CARVYKTI when patients are generally healthier and can better tolerate cellular therapy. Moving from late-line to earlier treatment settings represents the established pattern for paradigm-shifting cancer therapies.
The 5,000 patient treatment milestone provides substantial real-world experience that complements clinical trial data. This extensive patient exposure helps clinicians better understand and manage the therapy's safety profile, potentially expanding the addressable patient population by refining patient selection criteria and supportive care protocols.

“We are coming off a tremendously successful year. Our 2024 total revenue nearly achieved blockbuster status, and we are just now building out our many opportunities with CARVYKTI. There are more milestones ahead that will potentially make CARVYKTI available to even more patients,” said Ying Huang, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Legend Biotech. “CARVYKTI has already helped thousands of multiple myeloma patients. Even though CARVYKTI is the market leader for CAR-T in multiple myeloma, we are still working relentlessly to elevate our commercial, manufacturing, regulatory and clinical efforts. While we are focused on executing with excellence for CARVYKTI this year, we continue to prioritize the right investments to enhance our opportunities as a stand-alone cell therapy company for the long term.”
Key Business Developments
- Treated over 5,000 clinical and commercial patients to date.
- Announced positive three-year follow-up data from the Phase 3 CARTITUDE-4 study showing that CARVYKTI® increased the minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity rates when compared to the standard of care for patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. In the study, 89 percent of evaluable patients achieved MRD negativity at the 10-5 threshold, with the majority of patients achieving MRD negativity in less than two months.
- In the first quarter of 2025, initiated commercial production of CARVYKTI® at a Novartis production facility pursuant to the master manufacturing and supply agreement among Legend, Janssen, and Novartis.
- Spain's national health system, Sistema Nacional de Salud (“SNS”), approved reimbursement for CARVYKTI® for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior line of treatment, including an immunomodulatory agent and a proteasome inhibitor, have demonstrated disease progression after the last treatment and are refractory to lenalidomide.
- Cash and cash equivalents, and time deposits of
$1.1 billion , as of December 31, 2024, which Legend Biotech believes will provide financial runway into the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, when Legend Biotech anticipates potentially achieving an operating profit excluding unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses.

RECONCILIATION OF IFRS TO NON-IFRS MEASURES
We use Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss per Share (which we sometimes refer to as “ANI per Share”) as performance metrics. Adjusted Net Loss and ANI per Share are not defined under IFRS, are not a measure of operating income, operating performance, or liquidity presented in accordance with IFRS, and are subject to important limitations. Our use of Adjusted Net Loss has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under IFRS. For example:
- Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted Net Loss does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements.
- Adjusted Net Income (Loss) excludes unrealized foreign exchange gain (loss) which was primarily resulted from changes in the intercompany loan balances and cash balances as a result of exchange rate changes between USD and EURO.
- Adjusted Net Loss does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs.
- In addition, Adjusted Net Loss excludes such as share based compensation expense, which has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense for our business and an important part of our compensation strategy.
Also, our definition of Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss per Share may not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies.
However, we believe that providing information concerning Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss per Share enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance. We use Adjusted Net Loss as a performance metric that guides management in its operation of and planning for the future of the business. We believe that Adjusted Net Loss provides a useful measure of our operating performance from period to period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business. We define Adjusted Net Loss as net loss adjusted for (1) non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization, share based compensation, impairment loss and fair value loss of warrant liability and (2) unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss mainly related to intercompany loan balances and cash deposit balances as a result of exchange rate changes between USD and EUR.
Adjusted Net Loss per Share is computed by dividing Adjusted Net Loss by the weighted average shares outstanding.
