DUBLIN, Aug. 10, 2026 — Theravance Biopharma, Inc. ("Theravance Biopharma" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: TBPH) today reported financial and operational results for the second quarter of 2026.

"During the second quarter, we entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Zymeworks, marking the culmination of a comprehensive strategic review process and what we believe achieves the greatest value for Theravance Biopharma shareholders," said Rick E Winningham, Chief Executive Officer of Theravance Biopharma. "At the same time, YUPELRI® delivered another strong quarter, underscoring the durability and value of our core commercial asset and the continued execution of our collaboration with Viatris. We continued to execute well against our restructuring plan and expect to close the Zymeworks transaction in the second half of 2026 subject to shareholder approval and customary closing conditions."

Pending Acquisition by Zymeworks

On June 29, 2026, following a comprehensive strategic alternatives review process conducted by the Company's Strategic Review Committee and Board of Directors, Theravance Biopharma announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which Zymeworks Inc. will acquire the Company for $17.00 per share in cash, plus a contingent value right (CVR) entitling shareholders to 80% of net proceeds realized from any future license, divestiture or other monetization of ampreloxetine over the next ten years.

The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to approval by Theravance Biopharma shareholders and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

Operational Highlights

YUPELRI® (revefenacin) inhalation solution, the first and only once-daily, nebulized LAMA (long-acting muscarinic antagonist) bronchodilator approved in the U.S. for the maintenance treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD):

  • Quarterly U.S. net sales of $70.7 million, recognized by Viatris, in Q2 2026, increasing 7% year-over-year (YoY) (Q2 2026 vs Q2 2025)1 driven by customer demand growth of 10% YoY (Q2 2026 vs Q2 2025).3
  • Increased doses pulled through the hospital channel by 25% YoY (Q2 2026 vs Q2 2025), reflecting another excellent quarter of growth.4

TRELEGY

GSK reported second quarter 2026 global net sales of approximately $1.0 billion and year-to-date net sales of approximately $1.9 billion5:

  • FY 2025 global net sales of approximately $3.9 billion triggered a $50M milestone payment from Royalty Pharma, with cash received in February 2026.
  • FY 2026 global net sales of ~$3.5 billion required to trigger an additional $100M milestone payment from Royalty Pharma.

Organizational Restructuring Update

  • Following the announcement of the Company's Phase 3 CYPRESS results in March 2026, Theravance Biopharma has made substantial progress on its organizational restructuring.
  • As an indicator of this progress, operating expenses (excluding restructuring and transaction costs) decreased 35% year-over-year in Q2 2026 compared to Q2 2025, with additional reductions expected in 2H 2026.
  • The restructuring is expected to reduce operating expenses by approximately 60%, relative to 2025 actuals of $111.1 million. The full run-rate cost savings of approximately $70 million are expected to materialize in the second half of 2026. This is expected to result in approximately $60 - $70 million of annualized cash flow (excluding restructuring and transaction costs), with the benefit expected to be realized beginning in the second half of 2026.

Second Quarter Financial Results

  • Revenue: Total revenue for the second quarter of 2026 was $20.7 million, consisting entirely of Viatris collaboration revenue. Viatris collaboration revenue increased by $2.0 million, or 11%, in the second quarter compared to the same period in 2025. The Viatris collaboration revenue represents amounts receivable from Viatris and comprises the Company's 35% share of net sales of YUPELRI, as well as its proportionate amount of the total shared commercial costs incurred by the two companies. The non-shared YUPELRI costs incurred by Theravance Biopharma are recorded within operating expenses. While Viatris records the total net sales of YUPELRI within its financial statements, Theravance Biopharma's implied 35% share of net sales of YUPELRI for the second quarter of 2026 was $24.7 million which represented a 7% increase compared to the same period in 2025.
  • Research and Development (R&D) Expenses: R&D expenses for the second quarter of 2026 were $4.7 million, compared to $10.5 million in the same period in 2025. The reduction was driven by the corporate restructuring announced in March 2026 and the ongoing wind-down of the CYPRESS clinical trial. Second quarter R&D expenses included total non-cash share-based compensation of $0.6 million.
  • Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses: SG&A expenses for the second quarter of 2026 were $14.2 million, compared to $18.4 million in the same period in 2025. The reduction was primarily driven by the corporate restructuring announced in March 2026. Second quarter SG&A expenses included total non-cash share-based compensation of $3.6 million.
  • Restructuring Expenses: Restructuring expenses for the second quarter of 2026 were $4.0 million and were comprised of severance costs and termination-related benefits. Cash restructuring expenses were $2.2 million and non-cash restructuring expenses were $1.8 million.
  • Transaction-Related Expenses: Transaction-related expenses associated with the pending acquisition by Zymeworks were $6.1 million in the second quarter of 2026 and were related to legal and financial advisory services.
  • Share-Based Compensation: Total share-based compensation expenses for the second quarter of 2026 were $6.0 million which included restructuring-related share-based compensation expenses. Excluding restructuring-related expenses, share-based compensation was $4.1 million, compared to $4.5 million in the same period in 2025. Share-based compensation expenses for the second quarter of 2026 consisted of $0.6 million for R&D, $3.6 million for SG&A, and $1.8 million related to the restructuring.
  • Net Loss: Net loss was $5.9 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to net income of $54.8 million in the same period in 2025. The second quarter of 2025 net income was primarily due to a $75.1 million net gain on contingent milestone and royalty assets (representing the sale of our remaining interest in TRELEGY royalties in June 2025).
  • Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) from Operations****6: Non-GAAP net income from operations was $9.5 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to a non-GAAP net loss from operations of $4.2 million in the same period in 2025. See the section titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for more information.
  • Cash Position: Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $387.7 million as of June 30, 2026.
  • Shares Outstanding: The Company had 51,890,754 ordinary shares outstanding as of June 30, 2026.
