Legend is an investment holding company. Legend’s subsidiaries are principally engaged in the discovery, development, manufacturing and commercialization of novel cell therapies for oncology and other indications.

2.1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Legend and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company”) for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS34”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the “IASB”).

The accounting policies and basis of preparation adopted in the preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company has not early adopted any other standards, interpretation or amendments that have been issued but are not yet effective.

In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, operating results and cash flows of the Company for each of the periods presented. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim periods or for the year ended December 31, 2023. The condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2022 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the disclosures required by the IASB for annual financial statements. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Greater China

Pursuant to the Corporate Income Tax Law of the People's Republic of China (the "PRC") and the respective regulations (the “CIT Law”), Legend's subsidiaries which operate in the PRC are subject to CIT at a rate of 25% on the taxable income. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the applicable income tax rate was 25%.

Dividends, interests, rent or royalties payable by Legend's PRC subsidiaries, to non-PRC resident enterprises, and proceeds from any such non-resident enterprise investor’s disposition of assets (after deducting the net value of such assets) shall be subject to 10% CIT, namely withholding tax, unless the respective non-PRC resident enterprise’s jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty or arrangements with the PRC that provides for a reduced withholding tax rate or an exemption from withholding tax.

Belgium

Under the current laws of Belgium, the subsidiary which operates in Belgium is subject to CIT at a rate of 25% on its taxable trading income. Dividend withholding tax is imposed on distributions made by Belgium companies at a rate of 30% with many exemptions provided.

Total income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

7. LOSS PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO ORDINARY EQUITY HOLDERS OF THE PARENT

The calculation of the basic loss per share amount is based on the loss for the period attributable to ordinary equity holders of Legend Biotech Corporation, and the weighted average number of ordinary shares of 348,293,363 and 314,094,019 in issue during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The calculation of the diluted earnings per share amount is based on the loss for the period attributable to ordinary equity holders of Legend Biotech Corporation. The weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation is the number of ordinary shares in issue during the period, as used in the basic earnings per share calculation, and the weighted average number of ordinary shares assumed to have been issued at no consideration on the deemed exercise of all potentially dilutive securities into ordinary shares.

No adjustment for dilution has been made to the basic loss per share amounts presented for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, as the impact of the outstanding share options, restricted share units (the "RSUs"), and warrant liability had an anti-dilutive effect on the basic loss per share amounts presented.

The calculations of basic and diluted loss per share are based on:


	Nine months ended September 30,
	2023	2022
	US$’000 (Unaudited)	US$’000 (Unaudited)

9. LEASES

The Company as a lessee

The Company has lease contracts for leasehold land, buildings and collaboration assets. Lump sum payments were made upfront to acquire the leasehold land from the owners with lease periods of 50 years, and no ongoing payments will be made under the terms of these leasehold land contracts. Collaboration assets represent the Company’s share of assets leased to the collaboration from Janssen, which purchased the assets on behalf of the collaboration, in connection with the Janssen Agreement. Collaboration assets under construction that will be leased to the collaboration from Janssen when placed into service are classified as collaboration prepaid leases on the condensed consolidated financial statements. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease terms and the estimated useful lives of the assets.

14. WARRANT LIABILITY

On May 13, 2021, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with an institutional investor (the “PIPE Investor”) relating to the offer and sale of 20,809,850 ordinary shares of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “ordinary shares”), in a private placement at a purchase price of $14.41625 per ordinary share (the “PIPE Offering”). The total proceeds from the PIPE Offering were $300.0 million. Pursuant to the subscription agreement, the Company also issued to the PIPE Investor, concurrently with the PIPE offering, a warrant (the “Warrant”) exercisable for up to an aggregate of 10,000,000 ordinary shares (such transaction together with the PIPE Offering, the “Transactions”). The Transactions closed on May 21, 2021 (the “Closing Date”). The Warrant was exercisable, in whole or in part, at an exercise price of $20.00 per ordinary share. The Warrant was exercisable after the Closing Date and prior to the two-year anniversary of the Closing Date.

On May 11, 2023, the PIPE Investor exercised the Warrant in full for an aggregate exercise price of $200.0 million, and, as a result, the Company issued 10,000,000 ordinary shares to the PIPE Investor. The Warrant was accounted for as a financial liability because the Warrant was net share settleable at the holder’s option. In 2023, up to the exercise of the warrant, the Company recorded a fair value loss of $85.8 million.

The movement of the warrant liability is set out as below:


			Total

Pursuant to the Janssen Agreement, the Company is entitled to receive funding advances from Janssen when certain operational conditions are met. As a result, the Company took an initial funding advance with principal amounting to $17.3 million on June 18, 2021, a second funding advance with principal amounting to $53.1 million on September 17, 2021, a third funding advance with principal amounting to $49.3 million on December 17, 2021, a forth funding advance with principal amounting to $5.3 million on March 18, 2022, a fifth funding advance with principal amounting to $60.9 million on June 17, 2022, a sixth funding advance with principal amounting to $60.5 million on September 16, 2022, and a seventh funding advance with principal amounting to $3.6 million on December 16, 2022, by reducing the same amount of other payables due to Janssen, respectively (collectively, the “Funding Advances”).

These Funding Advances are accounted for as interest-bearing borrowings funded by Janssen, constituted by a principal amounting to $250.0 million and applicable interests accrued amounting to $25.9 million upon such principal. The interest rate pursuant to the Janssen Agreement has transitioned in accordance with the LIBOR Act . Thus, outstanding advances accrue interest at 12 month CME term SOFR plus LIBOR/SOFR adjustment (12 month) plus a margin of 2.5%. For each of the seven batches of funding advances, interest started to accrue from June 18, 2021, September 17, 2021, December 17, 2021, March 18, 2022, June 17, 2022, September 16, 2022, and December 16, 2022, respectively

Pursuant to the terms of the Janssen Agreement, Janssen may recoup the aggregate amount of Funding Advances, together with interest thereon, from Company’s share of pre-tax profits from the first profitable year of the collaboration program and, subject to some limitations, from milestone payments due to the Company under the Janssen Agreement. The Company’s management estimated the loan will not be recouped by Janssen within one year, nor does the Company expect to repay the funding advances within one year, and thus the loan was classified as a long-term liability.

19. FAIR VALUE AND FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Management has assessed that the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, pledged deposits, time deposits, financial assets included in prepayments, other receivables and other assets, trade receivables, trade payables and financial liabilities included in other payables and accruals approximate to their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

The Company’s finance department, headed by the Corporate Controller, is responsible for determining the policies and procedures for the fair value measurement of financial instruments. The finance department reports directly to the finance manager. At September 30, 2023, the finance department analyzed the movements in the values of financial instruments and determined the major inputs applied in the valuation. The valuation was reviewed and approved by the finance manager. The valuation process and results are discussed with the directors once a year for annual financial reporting.

The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

The following table illustrates the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments:

20. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On November 10, 2023, Legend Ireland entered into a ("License Agreement") with Novartis Pharma AG (“Novartis”) pursuant to which Legend Ireland granted Novartis an exclusive worldwide license under certain intellectual property rights controlled by Legend Ireland in order to develop, manufacture, commercialize and otherwise exploit certain chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (“CAR-T”) cell therapies targeting Delta-like ligand protein 3, including Legend’s existing autologous CAR-T cell therapy candidate which Legend refers to as “LB2102” ("Licensed Products"). The provisions of the License Agreement, subject to certain customary exceptions, will not become effective until the parties obtain any necessary consents and approvals, including review by the appropriate regulatory agencies under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “Conditions to Effectiveness”).

Following the occurrence of the Conditions to Effectiveness, Novartis will be obligated to pay to Legend a $100 million upfront cash payment. In addition, Legend will be eligible to receive from Novartis up to an aggregate of $1.01 billion in milestone payments upon achievement of specified clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones. Legend will also be eligible to receive tiered royalties from the high single digits to the low teens based upon net sales of Licensed Products, subject to certain reductions and offsets. Royalty payments obligations of Novartis continue on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis, until the latest of: (i) a specified period of time after the first commercial sale of such Licensed Product in such country; (ii) the expiration of the last-to-expire qualifying valid claim of

a licensed patent that covers such Licensed Product in such country; and (iii) the expiration of regulatory exclusivity for such Licensed Product in such country.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.

This MD&A contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of present and historical facts and conditions are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can often be identified by words or phrases, such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “aim,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “is/are likely to,” “potential,” “continue” or other similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations and views of future events, but are not assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, our financial needs, our operational results and other future conditions. These forward-looking statements involve various risks and uncertainties. Many important factors may adversely affect such forward-looking statements and cause actual results to differ from those in any forward-looking statement, including, without limitation, our strategies and objectives; statements relating to CARVYKTI, including our expectations for CARVYKTI, such as our manufacturing and commercialization expectations for CARVYKTI and the potential effect of treatment with CARVYKTI; uncertainties involved in the development of new pharmaceutical products; unexpected clinical trial results, including as a result of additional analysis of existing clinical data or unexpected new clinical data; unexpected regulatory actions or delays, including requests for additional safety and/or efficacy data or analysis of data, or government regulation generally; unexpected delays as a result of actions undertaken, or failures to act, by our third party partners; uncertainties arising from challenges to Legend Biotech’s patent or other proprietary intellectual property protection, including the uncertainties involved in the U.S. litigation process; competition in general; government, industry, and general product pricing and other political pressures; the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and governmental and regulatory measures implemented in response to the evolving situation, commercialization factors, including regulatory approval and pricing determinations; disruptions to access to raw materials; delays or disruptions at manufacturing facilities; proliferation and continuous evolution of new technologies; dislocations in the capital markets; and other important factors described under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2023 (the “Annual Report”) and under “Risk Factors” in any other reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result of these factors, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this interim report will prove to be accurate. Furthermore, if our forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by us or any other person that we will achieve our objectives and plans in any specified time frame or at all. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this report, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods.

Overview

We are primarily a global, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery, development, manufacturing and commercialization of novel cell therapies for oncology and other indications. Our team of approximately 1,700 employees in the United States, China and Europe, our differentiated technology, global development and manufacturing strategy and expertise provide us with the ability to generate, test and manufacture next-generation cell

therapies targeting indications with high unmet needs. Our lead product candidate, ciltacabtagene autoleucel, ("cilta-cel") (referred to as LCAR- B38M for purposes of our LEGEND-2 trial), is a CAR-T cell therapy we are jointly developing with our strategic partner, Janssen Biotech, Inc. ("Janssen"), for the treatment of multiple myeloma (“MM”). Clinical trial results achieved to date demonstrate that cilta-cel has the potential to deliver deep and durable anti-tumor responses in relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (“RRMM”) patients with a manageable safety profile.

On February 28, 2022, cilta-cel was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) under the trademark CARVYKTI for the treatment of adults with RRMM who have received four or more prior lines of therapy, including a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory agent, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody. CARVYKTI was our first product approved by a health authority.

Recent Business Developments

•We, through our wholly owned subsidiary, Legend Biotech Ireland Limited, entered into an exclusive, global license agreement with Novartis Pharma AG. We granted Novartis the rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize LB2102 (NCT05680922) and other potential chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies selectively targeting Delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3). Subject to closing, Novartis has agreed to pay us an upfront payment of $100 million after closing the transaction and up to $1.01 billion in milestone payments, as well as tiered royalties on net sales

•CARVYKTI (ciltacabtagene autoleucel; cilta-cel) generated approximately $152 million in net trade sales during the quarter, an increase of 30 percent over the previous quarter, driven by ongoing market launches, expanding market share and capacity improvements

•The first patient was randomized in the Phase 3 CARTITUDE-6 (NCT05257083) clinical trial evaluating daratumumab, bortezomib, lenalidomide and dexamethasone (DVRd) followed by cilta-cel versus DVRd followed by autologous stem cell transplant in participants with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (sponsored by the European Myeloma Network)

•CARVYKTI is now available in Germany, as commercial demand continues

•The state-of-the-art facility that will manufacture cilta-cel in Ghent has received a license from the Federal Agency for Medicines and Health Products in Belgium to begin clinical supply manufacturing

•In September 2023, we received payment for a milestone under the Janssen Agreement in the amount of $20.0 million

•In November 2023, we appointed Jim Pepin as General Counsel. Mr. Pepin has been practicing law for over two decades. Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Pepin was Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of Aimmune Therapeutics. Prior to that, he also served as Vice President and General Counsel of Nestle HealthCare Nutrition for ten years. Mr. Pepin holds a Bachelor of Arts in Foreign Affairs from the University of Virginia and a Juris Doctor from the University of Virginia School of Law

•Cash and cash equivalents, deposits and investments of $1.4 billion, as of September 30, 2023, which we believe will fund our operations through 2025.

Global Economic Conditions

Changes in macroeconomic conditions have led to higher inflation, which has led to an increase in costs and has caused changes in fiscal and monetary policy, including increased interest rates. Product manufacturing in both the U.S. and China have continued. Currently we have not experienced any material impact to our material supply chain or as a result of inflation and rising interest rates. Increased quantities of certain raw materials and consumables have been stocked as an appropriate safety measure. We believe we have established robust sourcing strategies for all necessary materials and do not expect any significant impact.

Although we do not believe that these macroeconomic conditions have had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, if these changes in economic conditions continue or if they increase in severity, it could result in further economic uncertainty and volatility in the capital markets in the near term, and could negatively affect our operations.

Revenue

License Revenue

License revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $35.2 million, compared to $50.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This decrease of $14.8 million was primarily driven by the nature and timing of milestones achieved as outlined in the Global Development Plan under the Janssen Agreement for cilta-cel for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Collaboration Revenue

Collaboration revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $170.4 million, compared to $39.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This increase of $131.1 million was due to an increase in revenue generated from sales of CARVYKTI in connection with the Janssen Agreement.

Other Revenue

Other revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was consistent with the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Other revenue relates to the licensing of certain patents to Nanjing Probio Biotech Co., Ltd. and its affiliates.

Operating Expenses

Collaboration cost of revenue

Collaboration cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $111.8 million compared to $42.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This increase $69.4 million is a combination of our share of cost of

sales incurred in the United States in connection with CARVYKTI sales under the Janssen Agreement and expenditures to support expansion in manufacturing capacity that cannot be capitalized.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $276.5 million compared to $254.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This increase of $21.6 million was primarily due to continuous research and development activities in cilta-cel, including higher patient enrollment for Phase 3 clinical trials for cilta-cel, and an increase in research and development activities for other pipeline items. The other pipeline expenses include continued investment in our solid tumor programs, which include two Investigational New Drug approvals that advanced into Phase 1 development.

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $78.1 million compared to $54.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase of $24.1 million was primarily due to the expansion of supporting administrative functions to facilitate continuous business growth and continued investment in building global information technology infrastructure.

Selling and Distribution Expenses

Selling and distribution expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $60.5 million compared to $67.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This decrease of $7.1 million was primarily due to non-recurring launch expenses incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to support the commercialization in the U.S market.

Other Income and Gains

Other income and gains for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $49.8 million compared to $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase of $45.1 million was primarily due to an increase in interest income and gain on investments.

Other Expenses

Other expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $0.2 million compared to $9.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to an unrealized foreign currency exchange gain in 2023 and an unrealized foreign currency exchange loss in 2022.

Finance Costs

Finance costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $16.0 million compared to $5.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to interest on advance funding, which is interest-bearing borrowings funded by Janssen under the Janssen Agreement and constituted of principal and applicable interests upon such principal.

Fair Value (Loss)/ Gain of Warrant Liability

Fair value loss of warrant liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $85.8 million, compared to a fair value gain of $30.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was due to the fair value loss recorded on the full exercise of the warrant, which took place on May 11, 2023.

Loss for the Period

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net loss was $373.4 million, or $1.07 per share, compared to a net loss of $310.5 million, or $0.99 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $0.1 million compared to $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. We expect to incur operating losses over the next several years as we advance the preclinical and clinical development of our research programs and product candidates. The Company's cash and cash equivalents, deposits and investments of $1.4 billion, as of September 30, 2023, extends cash runway through 2025, strengthened by recently completed financing. We might need additional capital to fund our operations in 2026 and beyond, which we may obtain from additional equity or debt financings, collaborations, licensing arrangements or other sources.

With the exception of our first product, CARVYKTI, which was approved by the FDA on February 28, 2022 for the treatment of adults with RRMM who have received four or more prior lines of therapy, including a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory agent, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, we do not currently have any approved products and we have not generated any revenue from product sales for other products. From inception through September 30, 2023, we have funded our operations primarily with approximately:

•$3.9 million in capital contributions from Genscript;

•$160.5 million in gross proceeds from the sale of our Series A preference shares;

•$685.0 million in upfront and milestone payments from Janssen under our collaboration and license agreement;

•$450.1 million in net proceeds from our U.S. initial public offering and an additional $12 million from a concurrent private placement with Genscript;

•$300.0 million in net proceeds from our private placement to an investor and related warrant issuance in May 2021;

•$323.4 million in net proceeds from our public offering of ADSs that closed in December 2021

•$250.0 million in advances from Janssen under our the Janssen Agreement;

•$377.6 million in net proceeds from our public offering of ADSs that closed in July 2022;

•$234.4 million in net proceeds from private placements to certain investors in May and June 2023;

•$349.3 million in net proceeds from our public offering of ADS that closed in May 2023; and

•$199.7 million in net proceeds from the exercise in full of a warrant held by one of our investors

As of September 30, 2023, we had approximately $1.0 billion in cash and cash equivalents, approximately $278.8 million of time deposits, approximately $185.8 million of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss and accumulated losses of $1.3 billion.

Certain of our subsidiaries, including those registered as wholly foreign-owned enterprises in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC"), are required to set aside at least 10.0% of their after-tax profits to their general reserves until such reserves reach 50.0% of their registered capital. Under PRC regulations, foreign-invested enterprises may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profit, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. A PRC company is not permitted to distribute any profits until any losses from prior fiscal years have been offset. Profits retained from prior fiscal years may be distributed together with distributable profits from the current fiscal year. Although we do not currently require any such dividends from our PRC subsidiaries to fund our operations, should we require additional sources of liquidity in the future, such restrictions may have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and capital resources. For more information, see “Item 4.B-Business Overview - Government Regulation - PRC Regulation - Other PRC National- and Provincial-Level Laws and Regulations - Regulations Relating to Dividend Distributions” in our Annual Report.

Cash Flows

The following table shows a summary of our cash flow:


	Nine months ended September 30,
	2023	2022
	US$’000 (Unaudited)
Net cash used in operating activities	(297,631)	(151,539)
Net cash used in investing activities	(314,723)	(102,024)
Net cash provided by financing activities	790,565	378,759
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents	178,211	125,196

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $297.6 million, primarily as a result of net loss before tax of $373.3 million after adjusting for non-cash items, and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash items are mainly from $85.8 million of fair value loss of warrant liability and $35.1 million of equity-settled share-based compensation expense. Changes in operating assets and liabilities mainly include a decrease in trade payables of $15.7 million and a decrease in other payables and accruals of $28.8 million, partially offset by approximately $32.9 million of interest income received.

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $151.5 million, primarily as a result of net loss before tax of $310.0 million after adjusting for non-cash items, and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash items are mainly from $30.2 million of fair value loss of warrant liability and $25.4 million of equity-settled share-based compensation expense. Changes in operating assets and liabilities mainly include a decrease in trade receivables of $50.4 million offset by an increase in prepayments, other receivables, and other assets of $63.4 million and a increase in other payables and accruals of $117.5 million.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $314.7 million, consisting primarily of the prepayment to Janssen for collaboration assets of $80.2 million and an increase of time deposits of $2,948.7 million, offset by a decrease of time deposits of $2,722.7 million.

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $102.0 million, consisting primarily of purchase of financial assets measured through fair value through profit or loss of $160.0 million, offset by $100.0 million cash received from the withdrawal of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss and $30.0 million of cash received from the withdrawal of financial assets measured at amortized cost. There was an approximately $370.0 million increase of time deposits, offset by a decrease of time deposits of $320.6 million.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $790.6 million, consisting primarily of proceeds from issuance of ordinary shares for a follow on public offering, net of issuance costs, of $349.3 million, $199.7 million of net proceeds from the exercise of warrant by the warrant holder, and $234.4 million of net proceeds from the issuance of ordinary shares to institutional investors.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $378.8 million, consisting primarily of proceeds from issuance of ordinary shares for a follow on public offering, net of issuance costs, of $377.6 million.

Capital Expenditure

Our capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 amounted to $90.6 million and $44.5 million, respectively. These expenditures primarily consisted of property, plant, equipment and collaboration prepaid leases.

Funding Requirements

We expect to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future as we advance the preclinical and clinical development of our research programs and product candidates, particularly as we continue the research and development of, continue or initiate clinical trials of, and seek marketing approval for, our product candidates. In addition, following FDA’s approval of CARVYKTI, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant commercialization expenses related to program sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution to the extent that such sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution are not the responsibility of potential collaborators. For example, in addition to investing in our own facilities, we expect to supplement our manufacturing capabilities and infrastructure by entering into agreements with one or more CMOs. Furthermore, we expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company. Accordingly, we will need to obtain substantial additional funding in connection with our continuing operations. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our research and development programs or future commercialization efforts.

Although consequences of the macroeconomic conditions, including the COVID-19 pandemic and inflation, and resulting economic uncertainty could adversely affect our liquidity and capital resources in the future, and cash requirements may fluctuate based on the timing and extent of many factors such as those discussed below, we currently expect our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

•the scope, progress, results and costs of product discovery, preclinical studies and clinical trials;

•the scope, prioritization and number of our research and development programs;

•the costs, timing and outcome of regulatory review of our product candidates;

•our ability to establish and maintain collaborations on favorable terms, if at all;

•the achievement of milestones or occurrence of other developments that trigger payments under the Janssen Agreement and any other collaboration agreements we enter into;

•the extent to which we are obligated to reimburse, or entitled to reimbursement of, clinical trial costs under collaboration agreements, if any;

•the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights and defending intellectual property-related claims;

•the extent to which we acquire or in-license other product candidates and technologies;

•the costs of securing manufacturing arrangements for commercial production; and

•the costs of establishing or contracting for sales and marketing capabilities if we obtain regulatory approvals to market our product candidates.

In addition to cilta-cel, we have a broad portfolio of earlier-stage product candidates. Identifying potential product candidates and conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials is a time-consuming, expensive and uncertain process that takes many years to complete, and we may never generate the necessary data or results required to obtain marketing approval and achieve product sales for such product candidates. In addition, our product candidates, if approved, may not achieve commercial success. Our commercial revenues, if any, will be derived from sales of product candidates that we do not expect to be commercially available for many years, if at all. Accordingly, we will need to continue to rely on additional financing to achieve our business objectives. Adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenues, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, holders of our ADSs will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our shareholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends.

If we raise funds through additional collaborations, strategic alliances or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.

Under the Janssen Agreement, until such time as our collaboration experiences its first profitable year, we are entitled to receive advances from Janssen if the collaboration’s estimated working capital for any year falls below $50 million. In such event, Janssen provides advances to us in an amount equal to the excess of $50 million over the collaboration’s working capital for the year. The total amount of such advances in any calendar year may not exceed $125 million and the total amount of such advances outstanding at any time may not exceed $250 million.The interest rate pursuant to the Janssen Agreement has transitioned in accordance with the LIBOR Act. Thus, outstanding advances accrue interest at 12-month CME Term SOFR plus LIBOR/SOFR adjustment (12 month) plus a margin of 2.5%. Janssen has the right to recoup such advances and interest from our share of the collaboration’s pre-tax profits and, subject to some limitations, from milestone payments due to us under the Janssen Agreement. We are not otherwise obligated to repay the advances or interest, except in connection with a change in control of our company or a termination of the Janssen Agreement by Janssen due to our material breach of the agreement. We may at any time in our discretion voluntarily pre-pay any portion of the then outstanding advances or associated interest. As of September 30, 2023, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such advances and interest was approximately $250.0 million and $25.9 million, respectively.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our cash is held in readily available operating accounts and short to medium term deposits and securities. These securities are principal secured and not adversely impacted by interest rate fluctuations. As a result, a change in market interest rates would not have any significant impact on our cash balance.

Pursuant to the Janssen Agreement, the advances we receive from Janssen accrue interest at 12-month CME Term SOFR plus LIBOR/SOFR adjustment (12 month) plus a margin of 2.5%. Accordingly, changes in SOFR could result in fluctuations in our cash flows. For example, based on the $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of advances outstanding from Janssen as of September 30, 2023, a 0.5% (fifty basis point) per annum increase in SOFR would result in an additional $1.3 million per year in interest payable by us.

Inflation generally affects us by increasing our cost of labor and clinical trial costs. We do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

We also do not believe that we are exposed to any material foreign currency exchange rate risk.

Revenue

License Revenue

License revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $20.1 million compared to no license revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was due to the achievement of a milestone under our collaboration and license agreement (Janssen Agreement) with Janssen Biotech, Inc. (Janssen) during the three months ended September 30, 2023. License revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $35.2 million, compared to $50.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This decrease of $14.8 million was primarily driven by the nature and timing of milestones achieved as outlined in the Global Development Plan under the Janssen Agreement for cilta-cel.

Collaboration Revenue

Collaboration revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $75.9 million and $170.4 million, respectively, compared to $27.3 million and $39.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increases of $48.6 million and $131.2 million for the three and nine month periods, respectively, were due to an increase in revenue generated from sales of CARVYKTI® in connection with the Janssen Agreement.

Operating Expenses

Collaboration Cost of Revenue

Collaboration cost of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $43.5 million and $111.8 million, respectively, compared to $25.5 million and $42.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increases of $18.0 million and $69.4 million for the three and nine months periods, respectively, were a combination of Legend Biotech’s share of the cost of sales in connection with CARVYKTI® sales under the Janssen Agreement and expenditures to support expansion in manufacturing capacity that could not be capitalized.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $95.9 million and $276.5 million, respectively, compared to $104.5 million and $254.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The decrease of $8.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to three months ended September 30, 2022 was due to timing of expenses incurred in connection with the Global Development Plan under the Janssen Agreement. The increase of $21.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to continuous research and development activities in cilta-cel, including higher patient enrollment for Phase 3 clinical trials for cilta-cel, and an increase in research and development activities for other pipeline items. The other pipeline expenses include continued investment in Legend Biotech’s solid tumor programs, which include two Investigational New Drug approvals that advanced into Phase 1 development.

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $28.1 million and $78.1 million, respectively, compared to $23.2 million and $54.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The increases of $4.9 million and $24.1 million for the three and nine month periods, respectively, were primarily due to the expansion of administrative functions to facilitate continuous business growth and continued investment in building Legend Biotech’s global information technology infrastructure.

Selling and Distribution Expenses

Selling and distribution expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $21.1 million and $60.5 million, respectively, compared to $18.9 million and $67.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase of $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 was due to costs associated with the commercialization of CARVYKTI®. The decrease of $7.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to non-recurring launch expenses incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to support the commercial launch of CARVYKTI® in the U.S market.

Other Income and Gains

Other income and gains for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $35.8 million and $49.8 million, respectively, compared to $3.9 million and $4.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The increases of $31.9 million and $45.1 million for the three and nine month periods, respectively, were primarily attributable to an increase in interest income, fair value gain on financial assets and foreign currency exchange gain.

Other Expenses

Other expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, compared to $2.0 million and $9.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in both comparative periods was primarily due to an unrealized foreign currency exchange gain in 2023 and an unrealized foreign currency exchange loss in 2022.

Finance Costs

Finance costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $5.7 million and $16.0 million, respectively, compared to $3.2 million and $5.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in both comparative periods was primarily due to interest on advance funding, which is interest-bearing borrowings funded by Janssen under the Janssen Agreement and constituted of principal and applicable interests upon such principal.

Fair Value (Loss)/Gain of Warrant Liability

There was no fair value (loss)/gain of warrant liability for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to a gain of $61.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, because the warrant was exercised on May 11, 2023. Fair value loss of warrant liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $85.8 million, compared to a fair value gain of $30.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was due to the fair value loss recorded on the full exercise of the warrant, which took place on May 11, 2023.

Loss for the Period

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, net loss was $62.2 million, or $0.17 per share, compared to net loss of $85.0 million, or $0.26 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net loss was $373.4 million, or $1.07 per share, compared to a net loss of $310.5 million, or $0.99 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
