Virology

•Announced U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) accepted a supplemental New Drug Application (“NDA”) submission for Yeztugo 300-mg tablet as a potential once-weekly oral formulation for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis, with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (“PDUFA”) target action date of February 2, 2027.

•T1Received FDA accelerated approval for Hepcludex for the treatment chronic hepatitis delta virus (“HDV”) infection in adults without cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis, which is now the first and only FDA-approved treatment for HDV in the U.S.

•Announced FDA accepted an NDA for bictegravir and lenacapavir for virologically suppressed people with HIV under priority review, with a PDUFA target action date of August 27, 2026.

Oncology

•Received a positive opinion from the European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use for Trodelvy in combination with Keytruda® (pembrolizumab) for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (“mTNBC”) who have not received prior systemic therapy for metastatic disease and whose tumors express PD-L1 (CPS≥10).

•Received FDA approval of Trodelvy for the first-line treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or mTNBC as either a single agent for patients who are not candidates for PD-(L)1 inhibitor-based therapy or in combination with Keytruda® (pembrolizumab) or Keytruda Qlex™ (pembrolizumab and berahyaluronidase alfa-mph) for patients whose tumors express PD-L1 (CPS ≥10).

•Announced European Commission marketing authorization for Trodelvy as a monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable locally advanced or mTNBC who have not received prior systemic therapy for metastatic disease and are not candidates for PD-(L)1 inhibitor therapy.

•Announced the discontinuation of the Phase 3 EVOKE-03 study, in partnership with Merck & Co., Inc., evaluating Trodelvy in combination with Keytruda® for the investigational treatment of first-line metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”) with high PD-L1 expression (TPS ≥50%). The decision was based on the recommendation of the external Data Monitoring Committee, following review of data from a pre-specified final analysis of progression-free survival and interim analysis of overall survival.

•Completed the acquisition of Tubulis GmbH (“Tubulis”), which brings Gilead next-generation antibody-drug conjugate (“ADC”) assets, including TUB-040, a NaPi2b-directed topoisomerase-I inhibitor ADC, and a platform to develop novel ADCs.

28

•Completed the acquisition of Arcellx, Inc. (“Arcellx”), which builds on an existing collaboration agreement with Arcellx for the development of anitocabtagene autoleucel (“anito-cel”) in relapsed or refractory (“R/R”) multiple myeloma (“MM”), and also adds Arcellx’s D-Domain BCMA binder that has the potential to strengthen Gilead’s portfolio in oncology and inflammation.

•Announced that the Biologics License Application for anito-cel in 4L+ R/R MM has been accepted by FDA, with a PDUFA target action date of December 23, 2026.

•Received FDA full approval for Tecartus in adult patients with R/R mantle cell lymphoma, following an accelerated approval in this setting in July 2020. The Tecartus label now includes efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetic data from Cohort 3 of the ZUMA-2 study in patients who are R/R after one or more lines of therapy and who are Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor-naïve.

Inflammation

•Completed the acquisition of Ouro Medicines, LLC (“Ouro Medicines”), which adds gamgertamig, a clinical stage BCMAxCD3 T cell engager for autoimmune diseases, to Gilead’s inflammation portfolio. The acquisition was completed in collaboration with Lakefront Biotherapeutics NV (“Lakefront”) (formerly known as Galapagos NV), which equally shared the upfront payment and will equally share contingent milestone payments, subject to customary adjustments.

NM - Not Meaningful

Total revenues increased 10% and 7% to $7.8 billion and $14.8 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025, primarily due to higher sales of HIV products, Trodelvy and Livdelzi, as well as higher royalty, contract and other revenues, partially offset by lower sales of Veklury as well as Cell Therapy and chronic hepatitis C virus (“HCV”) products.

Net loss was $10.5 billion and diluted loss per share was $8.45 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to net income of $2.0 billion and diluted earnings per share of $1.56 for the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily due to:

•Higher acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) expenses related to our acquisitions of Arcellx, Tubulis and Ouro Medicines;

•A pre-tax IPR&D impairment charge of $1.75 billion related to assets previously acquired from Immunomedics, Inc. (“Immunomedics”); and

•Higher operating expenses; partially offset by

•Higher revenues;

•Lower income tax expense; and

•Higher net gains from equity securities.

Net loss was $8.5 billion and diluted loss per share was $6.82 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to net income of $3.3 billion and diluted earnings per share of $2.61 for the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily due to:

•Higher acquired IPR&D expenses related to our acquisitions of Arcellx, Tubulis and Ouro Medicines;

•A pre-tax IPR&D impairment charge of $1.75 billion related to assets previously acquired from Immunomedics; and

•Higher operating expenses; partially offset by

Foreign Currency Exchange Impact

We generally face exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily in the Euro. We use foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge a portion of our foreign currency exposures.

Approximately 25% and 27% of our product sales were denominated in foreign currencies during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Foreign currency exchange, net of hedges, had a favorable impact on our total product sales of $23 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, based on a comparison using foreign currency exchange rates from the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Approximately 26% and 27% of our product sales were denominated in foreign currencies during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Foreign currency exchange, net of hedges, had a favorable impact on our total product sales of $135 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, based on a comparison using foreign currency exchange rates from the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Royalty, Contract and Other Revenues

Royalty, contract and other revenues increased to $176 million and $189 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025, primarily due to recognition of $156 million of previously constrained revenues from the sale of certain intellectual property.

Product Gross Margin

Product gross margin remained relatively flat at 79.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025.

Product gross margin increased to 79.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by the expiration of a royalty-related obligation.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense, infrastructure, materials and supplies and other support costs, research and clinical studies performed by contract research organizations and our collaboration partners and other outside services.

We manage these expenses by identifying the research and development (“R&D”) activities we expect to be performed during a given period and then prioritizing efforts based on scientific data, probability of successful technical development and regulatory approval, market potential, available human and capital resources and other considerations. We regularly review our R&D activities based on unmet medical need and, as necessary, reallocate resources among our internal R&D portfolio and external opportunities that we believe will best support the long-term growth of our business. We do not track total R&D expenses by product candidate, therapeutic area or development phase.

Research and development expenses increased 18% and 9% to $1.8 billion and $3.1 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025. Personnel, infrastructure and other support costs increased primarily due to integration expenses, including $229 million of stock-based compensation expenses related to our acquisitions of Arcellx, Ouro Medicines and Tubulis. Clinical studies and other costs decreased primarily due to lower oncology clinical study activity.

Acquired In-Process Research and Development Expenses

Acquired in-process research and development expenses are recorded when incurred and reflect costs of externally-developed IPR&D projects, acquired directly in a transaction other than a business combination, that do not have an alternative future use, including upfront and pre-commercialization milestone payments related to various collaborations and the costs of rights to IPR&D projects.

33

T6Acquired in-process research and development expenses were $11.2 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2026, primarily related to the following transactions:

•$7.0 billion Arcellx acquisition;

•$3.1 billion Tubulis acquisition; and

•$1.0 billion Ouro Medicines acquisition, comprised of $1.9 billion for our acquisition of Ouro Medicines, partially offset by $860 million related to Lakefront’s share of the upfront consideration.

Acquired in-process research and development expenses were $11.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily related to the same transactions as in the three months ended June 30, 2026 as well as $80 million for the Suzhou Genhouse Bio Co., Ltd. collaboration.

Acquired in-process research and development expenses were $61 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Acquired in-process research and development expenses were $315 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily related to $250 million associated with the LEO Pharma A/S collaboration upfront payment.

See Note 6. Acquisitions, Collaborations and Other Arrangements of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

In-Process Research and Development Impairment

2026 Impairment

T7In June 2026, we announced the discontinuation of our Phase 3 EVOKE-03 study of Trodelvy evaluating sacituzumab govitecan-hziy in combination with pembrolizumab in certain patients with previously untreated metastatic NSCLC. In consideration of this decision, and in connection with the preparation of the financial statements for the second quarter of 2026, we determined that no future cash flows were expected to be generated in relation to the NSCLC IPR&D intangible asset, and therefore, no value was attributed to the asset. As a result, we recognized an impairment charge of the remaining balance of $1.75 billion in In-process research and development impairments on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2026.

2025 Impairment

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, additional data became available indicating a more competitive market for bulevirtide where it was not yet approved. Based on our evaluation of the data, and in connection with the preparation of the financial statements for the second quarter of 2025, we performed an interim impairment test and determined that the revised estimated fair value of the bulevirtide IPR&D intangible asset was below its carrying value. As a result, we recognized a partial impairment charge of $190 million in In-process research and development impairments on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

To arrive at the revised estimated fair value as of June 30, 2025, we used a probability-weighted income approach that discounts expected future cash flows to present value, which requires the use of Level 3 fair value measurements and inputs, including critical estimated inputs, such as: revenues and operating profits related to the planned utilization of bulevirtide outside of the European Union (“EU”), which includes inputs such as addressable patient population, projected market share, treatment duration, and the life of the potential commercialized product; the probability of technical and regulatory success; the time and resources needed to complete the development and approval of bulevirtide outside of the EU; an appropriate discount rate based on the estimated weighted-average cost of capital for companies with profiles similar to our profile; and risks related to the viability of and potential alternative treatments in any future target markets. Our revised discounted cash flows for the June 30, 2025 fair value estimation primarily reflected the updated expectations for bulevirtide’s potential market share outside of the EU.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses are recorded when incurred and consist primarily of personnel costs, facilities and overhead costs, and selling, marketing and advertising expenses, as well as other general and administrative costs related to finance, human resources, legal and other administrative activities.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 41% and 29% to $1.9 billion and $3.4 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025. Selling and marketing expenses increased primarily due to higher HIV promotional expenses. General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to integration expenses, including $332 million of stock-based compensation expenses related to our acquisitions of Arcellx, Ouro Medicines and Tubulis. General and administrative expenses also increased for the six months ended June 30, 2026 due to donations of equity securities made to the Gilead Foundation.

Interest expense was $247 million and remained relatively flat for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025.

Interest expense decreased 5% to $487 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to lower average debt balances, partially offset by a higher weighted-average interest rate on the debt.

Favorable movements in Other (income) expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily related to higher net gains from equity securities.

Our effective tax rate decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same periods in 2025, primarily due to non-deductible acquired IPR&D expense in connection with our acquisitions of Arcellx, Tubulis and Ouro Medicines.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) has developed a framework to implement a global minimum corporate tax of 15% for companies with global revenues and profits above certain thresholds (referred to as “Pillar Two”), with certain aspects effective January 1, 2024 and other aspects effective January 1, 2025. Certain countries in which we operate have enacted Pillar Two legislation, and other countries are in the process of introducing legislation to implement Pillar Two. In January 2026, the OECD announced additional administrative guidance, including a “side-by-side” framework intended to coordinate the application of Pillar Two with existing minimum tax regimes in certain jurisdictions. We do not expect Pillar Two, including the side-by-side framework, to have a material impact on our results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We regularly analyze our ability to generate and obtain adequate amounts of cash to meet our short-term and long-term requirements and plans. T8Our capital priorities include: (i) investing in our business and R&D pipeline, (ii) continuing select partnerships and business development transactions, (iii) growing our dividend over time and (iv) repurchasing shares to offset dilution and opportunistically reduce share count. Based on our evaluation of our current position of liquidity, available capital resources and our material cash requirements, we believe that we can satisfy our capital needs for the next 12 months and the foreseeable future.

Liquidity

Cash and cash equivalents were $3.2 billion as of June 30, 2026. The table below summarizes our cash flow activities, followed by our analysis of changes and trends:

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities is our primary source of funds, driven mainly by collections on product sales, partially offset by operating spend. Changes in working capital balances, generally associated with the timing of collections and payments, as well as unanticipated payments related to litigation, taxes or other matters, may create some variation in any given year. Net cash provided by operating activities increased for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to lower income tax payments, collections on higher product sales, receipt of the Lakefront collaboration payment and lower inventory spend, partially offset by higher operating spend.

Investing Activities

The change in Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, was primarily due to payments made in 2026 related to the acquisitions of Arcellx, Tubulis and Ouro Medicines, partially offset by the liquidation of our marketable securities portfolio to fund the acquisitions, compared with cash used in 2025 to build up our marketable securities portfolio. Net cash used in investing activities may vary in any given year depending on the favorability of strategic opportunities for the business.

Financing Activities

The change in Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, was primarily due to proceeds from debt offerings in 2026, which did not occur in 2025, and lower common stock repurchases, partially offset by higher debt repayments and a contingent consideration payment made in 2026, which did not occur in 2025. See Notes 3. Fair Value Measurements and 9. Debt and Credit Facilities of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information. Net cash used in financing activities may vary in any given year depending primarily on the timing of debt repayments and proceeds from debt offerings and the amount of common stock repurchases.

In August 2026, we announced that our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.82 per share of our common stock, with a payment date of September 29, 2026 to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 15, 2026. Future dividends are subject to declaration by our Board of Directors.
