Fair Value Measurements	Note 5. Fair Value Measurements The Company’s estimates of fair value for financial assets and financial liabilities are based on the framework established in the fair value accounting guidance. The framework is based on the inputs used in valuation, it gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and requires that observable inputs be used in the valuations when available. The disclosure of fair value estimates in the fair value accounting guidance hierarchy is based on whether the significant inputs into the valuation are observable. In determining the level of the hierarchy in which the estimate is disclosed, the highest priority is given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s significant market assumptions. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is reported is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the measurement in its entirety. The three levels of the hierarchy are as follows: Level 1— Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2— Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3— Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $9.6 million and $13.2 million in Level 1 money market funds, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

Note 5. Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s estimates of fair value for financial assets and financial liabilities are based on the framework established in the fair value accounting guidance. The framework is based on the inputs used in valuation, it gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and requires that observable inputs be used in the valuations when available. The disclosure of fair value estimates in the fair value accounting guidance hierarchy is based on whether the significant inputs into the valuation are observable. In determining the level of the hierarchy in which the estimate is disclosed, the highest priority is given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s significant market assumptions. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is reported is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the measurement in its entirety. The three levels of the hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1— Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

Level 2— Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

Level 3— Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $9.6 million and $13.2 million in Level 1 money market funds, respectively. The carrying amounts of our money market funds approximate their fair value. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we did not have any Level 2 or Level 3 assets.

- Definition

Equity [Abstract]

Equity

Note 10. Equity

August 2023 Public Raise

On August 4, 2023, we completed a public offering of common stock and warrants, which included the following:

•

50,488 shares of common stock at a price of $27.28 per share.

•

Pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 132,793 shares of common stock at a price of $27.28 per with an exercise price of $0.001 per share. As of March 31, 2024, all pre-funded warrants have been exercised.

•

Series A and Series B common warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 366,562 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $27.28 per share.

We received net proceeds of $4.3 million, net of transaction costs, as a result of this offering. In the fourth quarter of 2023, an aggregate of 322,691 Series A and Series B common warrants were exercised as part of our November 2023 warrant inducement agreement with certain holders of our common warrants. As of March 31, 2024, there were 42,555 Series A and 1,316 Series B common warrants outstanding with an exercise price of $27.28 which will expire on August 4, 2028 and February 4, 2025, respectively.

If these warrants are exercised, we will receive up to an additional $1.2 million in gross proceeds.

November 2023 Warrant Inducement

On November 9, 2023, we entered into a warrant inducement agreement (the "Inducement Agreement") with certain holders of our Series A and Series B common warrants issued in connection with our August 2023 public offering to exercise for cash 140,726 Series A and 181,965 Series B common warrants at a reduced exercise price of $10.25. We received $3.3 million in gross proceeds from the exercise of these warrants and issued an aggregate of 645,382 new Series A and new Series B warrants as follows:

•

281,452 Series A common warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 281,452 shares of common stock at $10.25 per share, of which 140,726 Series A-1 common warrants were immediately exercisable and 140,726 Series A-2 common warrants were exercisable at any time on or after February 5, 2024. The Series A-1 and Series A-2 common warrants have terms of four years and eight months, and five years, respectively.

•

363,930 Series B common warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 363,930 shares of common stock at $10.25 per share, of which 181,965 Series B-1 common warrants were immediately exercisable and 181,695 Series B-2 common warrants were exercisable at any time on or after February 5, 2024. The Series B-1 and Series B-2 common warrants have terms of fourteen months and twenty-four months, respectively.

As of March 31, 2024, there were 140,726 Series A-1, 140,726 Series A-2, 181,965 Series B-1 and 181,965 Series B-2 common warrants outstanding with an exercise price of $10.25 per share, and 4,798 shares remain held in abeyance.

If these new warrants are exercised, we will receive up to an additional $6.6 million in gross proceeds.

Equity Distribution Agreement

The Company previously entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement with Piper Sandler (the "Equity Distribution Agreement") under which we could issue and sell through Piper Sandler shares of our common stock pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 which we filed on December 14, 2020, and expired in December 2023. In the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company issued 16,611 shares of common stock at an average price of $99.43 under the Equity Distribution Agreement. We received $1.6 million in proceeds from the issuance of these shares.

Rights Plan

On November 8, 2020, our Board of Directors (the "Board") approved and adopted a Rights Agreement (the "Rights Agreement"), dated as of November 8, 2020, by and between the Company and Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., as rights agent, pursuant to which the Board declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (each, a "Right") for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock held by stockholders as of the close of business on November 23, 2020. One Right also will be issued together with each Common Share issued by the Company after November 23, 2020, but before the Distribution Date (as defined in the Rights Agreement) (or the earlier redemption or expiration of the Rights) and, in certain circumstances, after the Distribution Date. When exercisable, each Right initially would represent the right to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of a newly-designated series of preferred stock, Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company. Subject to various exceptions, the Rights become exercisable in the event any person (excluding certain exempted or grandfathered persons) becomes the beneficial owner of ten percent (10%) or more of the Company’s common stock without the approval of the Board. On November 2, 2023, we entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Rights Agreement and extended the expiration of such agreement to November 4, 2024 and changed the exercise price to $2.02 per one one-thousandth of a Series A Junior Participating Preferred Share, subject to adjustment.

2018 Stock Incentive Plan

On June 1, 2018, at the 2018 Annual Meeting of the Stockholders, the Company’s stockholders approved a new 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2018 SIP"), which replaced the Restated 2016 Plan on a go-forward basis. All stock options, RSUs or other equity awards granted subsequent to June 1, 2018 have been and will be issued out of the 2018 SIP, which has 0.02 million shares of Aptevo common stock authorized for issuance. The 2018 SIP became effective immediately upon stockholder approval at the 2018 Annual Meeting of the Stockholders. Any shares subject to outstanding stock awards granted under the 2016 SIP that (a) expire or terminate for any reason prior to exercise or settlement; (b) are forfeited because of the failure to meet a contingency or condition required to vest such shares or otherwise return to the Company; or (c) otherwise would have returned to the 2016 SIP for future grant pursuant to the terms of the 2016 Plan (such shares, the “Returning Shares”) will immediately be added to the share reserve under the 2018 SIP as and when such shares become Returning Shares, up to a maximum of 0.02 million shares.

On June 7, 2022, at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our stockholders approved the Amended and Restated 2018 SIP to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2018 SIP by 500,000 shares of common stock. As of March 31, 2024, there are 1,558 shares available to be granted under the 2018 SIP.

Stock options and RSUs under the Amended and Restated 2018 SIP generally vest pro rata over a one-year or three-year period. Stock options terminate ten years from the grant date, though the specific terms of each grant are determined individually. The Company’s executive officers, members of our board of directors, and certain other employees and consultants may be awarded options and/or RSUs with different vesting criteria, and awards granted to non-employee directors will vest over a one-year period. Option exercise and RSU grant prices for new awards granted by the Company equal the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the date of grant.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation expense includes amortization of stock options and RSUs granted to employees and non-employees and has been reported in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations as follows:


	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2024		2023
Research and development	$	242	$	310
General and administrative	$	477	$	605
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	719	$	915

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation by measuring the cost of employee services received in exchange for all equity awards granted based on the fair value of the award as of the grant date. The Company recognizes the compensation expense over the vesting period. All assumptions used to calculate the grant date fair value of non-employee equity awards are generally consistent with the assumptions used for equity awards granted to employees. In the event the Company terminates any of its consulting agreements, the unvested equity underlying the agreements would also be forfeited.

Stock Options

Aptevo utilizes the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of all stock options granted. Set forth below are the assumptions used in valuing the stock options granted:


	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024		2023
Expected dividend yield		—		—
Expected volatility		—	103.63%
Risk-free interest rate		—	4.18%
Expected average life of options		—	5 years

The Company did not grant stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, management has applied an estimated forfeiture rate of 30%.

The following is a summary of option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2024:


	Number of Shares			Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Term
Balance at December 31, 2023		9,946		$	563.19		7.38
Granted		—			—		—
Exercised		—			—		—
Forfeited		(34	)		709.25		—
Outstanding at March 31, 2024		9,912			561.59		7.14
Exercisable March 31, 2024		7,209			679.55		6.64
Vested and expected to vest at March 31, 2024		9,195			593.56		7.03

As of March 31, 2024, we had $0.4 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to options expected to vest over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 0.9 years. The weighted-average grant date fair value per share of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $73.83. The total fair value of stock options vested for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $0.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

The aggregate intrinsic value is the total pretax intrinsic value (the difference between the closing stock price of Aptevo’s common stock on the last trading day of March 2024 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in the money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all the option holders exercised their options on the last trading day of the quarter.

Restricted Stock Units

The following is a summary of RSU activity for the three months ended March 31, 2024:


	Number of Units			Weighted Average Fair Value per Unit
Balance at December 31, 2023		6,342		$	205.08
Granted		1,643			7.24
Vested		(2,070	)		287.68
Forfeited		(56	)		69.21
Outstanding and expected to vest at March 31, 2024		5,859		$	121.72

As of March 31, 2024, there was $0.5 million unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested RSUs expected to vest over the weighted-average period of 1.21 years.

The fair value of each RSU has been determined to be the closing trading price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant as quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Net Income (Loss) per Share

Note 9. Net Income (Loss) per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period using the as-if converted method. Shares of the Company's common stock underlying pre-funded warrants and shares held in abeyance resulting from the previous exercise of warrants are included in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share because there is little to no consideration required for delivery of shares. For the purpose of this calculation, warrants, stock options and restricted stock units ("RSUs") are only included in the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share when their effect is dilutive.

We utilize the control number concept in the computation of diluted earnings per share to determine whether potential common stock instruments are dilutive. The control number used is income (loss) from continuing operations or income from discontinued operations. The control number concept requires that the same number of potentially dilutive securities applied in computing diluted earnings per share from continuing operations be applied to all other categories of income or loss, regardless of their anti-dilutive effect on such categories.

Common stock equivalents include warrants, stock options and unvested RSUs.

The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per share (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):


	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024			2023
Net (loss) income from continuing operations	$	(6,834	)	$	1,827
Income from discontinued operations		—			946
Net (loss) income	$	(6,834	)	$	2,773

Basic and diluted net (loss) income per share from continuing operations:
Basic	$	(9.95	)	$	11.45
Diluted	$	(9.95	)	$	11.45
Basic and diluted net income per share from discontinued operations:
Basic	$	—		$	5.93
Diluted	$	—		$	5.93
Basic and diluted net (loss) income per share:
Basic	$	(9.95	)	$	17.38
Diluted	$	(9.95	)	$	17.38
Shares used in calculation:
Basic		686,735			159,597
Diluted		686,735			159,597

The following table represents all potentially dilutive shares:


	As of March 31,
(in thousands)	2024		2023
Warrants		689		7
Outstanding options to purchase common stock		10		10
Unvested RSUs		6		7

We use the treasury stock method when determining dilutive shares. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company was in a net loss position, therefore the share number used to calculate diluted earnings per share is the same as the basic earnings per share. As of March 31, 2023, we determined that outstanding warrants, options, and RSUs are not dilutive as the exercise and grant prices were higher than our average share price for the three.

$1.3499 per Pre-funded Warrant and accompanying Common Warrants, which is equal to the public offering price per share of Common Stock and accompanying Common Warrant less the $0.0001 per share exercise price of each such Pre-funded Warrant. We received $4.6 million in gross proceeds from the offering. Our net proceeds from the offering amounted to approximately $4.0 million after deducting offering expenses payable by us, including placement agent and other fees. The Common Warrants have an exercise price of $1.35 per share and are exercisable immediately following the date of issuance and will expire in April 2029. If the Common Warrants are exercised, we will receive up to an additional $9.2 million in proceeds.

XOMA Transaction

Note 3. XOMA Transaction

On March 29, 2023, we entered into and closed a Purchase Agreement with XOMA pursuant to which we sold to XOMA our right, title and interest in and to all of the deferred payments and a portion of the milestone payments from Medexus under our LLC Purchase Agreement. Under the terms of our Purchase Agreement with XOMA, we received $9.6 million at closing and an additional post-closing payment of $0.05 million. In exchange for the Closing Payment, we sold to XOMA our right, title and interest to the following payments under the LLC Purchase Agreement: (i) 100% of the Company’s entitlement to receive the deferred payments that may become due and payable following March 29, 2023 (including, for avoidance of doubt, any and all payments earned during Q1 2023), (ii) 25% of the Company’s entitlement to receive the Canadian Approval Milestone Payment; and (iii) 50% of the Company’s entitlement to receive the European Approval Milestone Payments and Net Sales Milestone Payment.

We accounted for the $9.6 million Closing Payment and the $0.05 million post-closing payment from XOMA as other income in accordance with ASC 610-20 Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets in the first quarter of 2023. Contractual rights sold to XOMA represent an intangible asset under ASC 610-20 Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets for which XOMA bears all benefit and Aptevo has no obligations going forward. The Company will continue to account for its portion of future milestones under our LLC Purchase Agreement with Medexus as contingent consideration under ASC 450-30 Gain Contingencies and will record income when proceeds are received.

Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and changes in these estimates are recorded when known. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our wholly owned subsidiary, Aptevo Research and Development LLC. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent liabilities in the unaudited condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, clinical accruals, useful lives of equipment, commitments and contingencies, stock-based compensation, and incremental borrowing rate (IBR) used for our lease. Given the global economic and geopolitical climate, these estimates are becoming more challenging, and actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Gain Related to Sale of Nonfinancial Asset	Gain Related to Sale of Nonfinancial Asset to XOMA (US) LLC On March 29, 2023, we entered into and closed a payment interest purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with XOMA (US) LLC (“XOMA”) pursuant to which we sold to XOMA our right, title and interest in all of the deferred payments and a portion of the milestone payments from Medexus pursuant to our LLC Purchase Agreement with Medexus, dated February 28, 2020 (the "LLC Agreement"). Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we received $9.6 million at closing (the “Closing Payment”) and an additional post-closing payment of $0.05. We accounted for the $9.6 million Closing Payment and the $0.05 million post-closing payment from XOMA as other income in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 610-20 Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets in the first quarter of 2023. Contractual rights sold to XOMA represent an intangible asset under ASC 610-20 Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets for which XOMA bears all benefit and Aptevo has no obligations going forward. The Company will continue to account for its portion of future milestones under our LLC Purchase Agreement with Medexus as contingent consideration under ASC 450-30 Gain Contingencies and will record income when proceeds are received.
Other Significant Accounting Policies	Other Significant Accounting Policies Our other significant accounting policies were reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 that was filed with the SEC on March 5, 2024. Our other significant accounting policies have not changed materially from the policies previously reported.

Collaboration Agreements

Collaboration Agreements

Note 4. Collaboration Agreements

Alligator Bioscience AB

On July 20, 2017, our wholly owned subsidiary Aptevo Research and Development LLC ("Aptevo R&D"), entered into a collaboration and option agreement (the "Collaboration Agreement") with Alligator Bioscience AB ("Alligator"), pursuant to which Aptevo and Alligator have been collaboratively developing ALG.APV-527, a first-in-class bispecific antibody candidate simultaneously targeting 4-1BB (CD137), a member of the TNFR superfamily of a costimulatory receptor found on activated T cells, and 5T4, a tumor antigen widely overexpressed in a number of different types of cancer.

We assessed the arrangement in accordance with ASC 606 and concluded that the contract counterparty, Alligator, is not a customer. As such the arrangement is not in the scope of ASC 606 and is instead treated as a collaborative agreement under ASC 808 – Collaborative Arrangements ("ASC 808"). In accordance with ASC 808, we concluded that because the Collaboration Agreement is a cost sharing agreement, there is no revenue.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we recorded approximately $0.6 million and $0.8 million, which represent our 50% cost share, in our research and development expense related to the Collaboration Agreement, respectively.

Reverse Stock Split [Abstract]

Reverse Stock Split

Note 8. Reverse Stock Split

On February 5, 2024, we held a Special Meeting of Stockholders at which our stockholders approved a series of alternate amendments to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect, at the option of our Board of Directors (the "Board"), a reverse split of Aptevo's common stock at a ratio ranging from 1-for-15 to 1-for-44, inclusive, with the effectiveness of one of such amendments and the abandonment of the other amendments, or the abandonment of all amendments, to be determined by the Board in its sole discretion following the Special Meeting. The specific 1-for-44 reverse split ratio was subsequently approved by the Board on February 27, 2024. On March 5, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment of Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-44 reverse stock split of the Company's outstanding common stock (the "Reverse Stock Split"). The Reverse Stock Split became effective on March 5, 2024 at 5:01 p.m. Eastern Time, and our common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market, on a split-adjusted basis, at market open on March 6, 2024.

No fractional shares were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders of record who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share received a cash payment in lieu thereof.

We have adjusted all common stock and stock equivalent figures retroactively in this Form 10-Q for all periods presented to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

Organization and Liquidity

Aptevo Therapeutics Inc. (Aptevo, we, us, or the Company) is a clinical-stage, research and development biotechnology company focused on developing novel immuno-oncology candidates for the treatment of different forms of cancer. We have developed two versatile and enabling platform technologies for rational design of precision immune modulatory drugs. Our clinical candidates, APVO436 and ALG.APV-527, and preclinical candidates, APVO603 and APVO711, were developed using our ADAPTIR™ modular protein technology platform. Our preclinical candidate APVO442 was developed using our ADAPTIR-FLEX™ modular protein technology platform.

We are currently trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “APVO.”

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes we will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty of our ability to continue as a going concern, nor do they include adjustments to reflect the possible future effects of the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we had a net loss of $6.8 million. We had an accumulated deficit of $230.3 million as of March 31, 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash used in our operating activities was $6.7 million. We have suffered recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities. When considered in aggregate, these factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the one-year period from the date of issuance of these financial statements. We will need to raise additional funds to support our operating and capital needs in addition to our existing cash resources, cash to be generated from future milestones related to IXINITY sales and regulatory approvals achieved by Medexus Pharmaceuticals ("Medexus"), and exercise of common warrants. We may choose to raise additional funds to support our operating and capital needs in the future.

We continue to face significant challenges and uncertainties and, as a result, our available capital resources may be consumed more rapidly than currently expected due to: (a) changes we may make to the business that affect ongoing operating expenses; (b) changes we may make in our business strategy; (c) changes we may make in our research and development spending plans; (d) whether and to what extent potential milestones are received from Medexus with respect to IXINITY; (e) macroeconomic conditions such as rising interest rates, inflation and costs; and (f) other items affecting our forecasted level of expenditures and use of cash resources. We may attempt to obtain other public or private financing, collaborative or licensing arrangements with strategic partners, or through credit lines or other debt financing sources to increase the funds available to fund operations. However, we may not be able to secure such funding in a timely manner or on favorable terms, if at all. Furthermore, if we issue equity or debt securities to raise additional funds, our existing stockholders may experience dilution, and the new equity or debt securities may have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of our existing stockholders. If we raise additional funds through collaboration, licensing, or other similar arrangements, it may be necessary to relinquish valuable rights to our potential products or proprietary technologies, or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. Without additional funds, we may be forced to delay, scale back, or eliminate some of our research and development activities or other operations and potentially delay product development in an effort to provide sufficient funds to continue our operations. If any of these events occurs, our ability to achieve our development goals may be adversely affected. Given the continuing global economic and geopolitical climate, including rising interest rates and stock market volatility, we may experience delays or difficulties in the financing environment and raising capital due to economic uncertainty.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and changes in these estimates are recorded when known.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our wholly owned subsidiary, Aptevo Research and Development LLC. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent liabilities in the unaudited condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, clinical accruals, useful lives of equipment, commitments and contingencies, stock-based compensation, and incremental borrowing rate (IBR) used for our lease. Given the global economic and geopolitical climate, these estimates are becoming more challenging, and actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Significant Accounting Policies

Gain Related to Sale of Nonfinancial Asset to XOMA (US) LLC

On March 29, 2023, we entered into and closed a payment interest purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with XOMA (US) LLC (“XOMA”) pursuant to which we sold to XOMA our right, title and interest in all of the deferred payments and a portion of the milestone payments from Medexus pursuant to our LLC Purchase Agreement with Medexus, dated February 28, 2020 (the "LLC Agreement"). Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we received $9.6 million at closing (the “Closing Payment”) and an additional post-closing payment of $0.05.

We accounted for the $9.6 million Closing Payment and the $0.05 million post-closing payment from XOMA as other income in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 610-20 Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets in the first quarter of 2023. Contractual rights sold to XOMA represent an intangible asset under ASC 610-20 Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets for which XOMA bears all benefit and Aptevo has no obligations going forward. The Company will continue to account for its portion of future milestones under our LLC Purchase Agreement with Medexus as contingent consideration under ASC 450-30 Gain Contingencies and will record income when proceeds are received.

Other Significant Accounting Policies

Our other significant accounting policies were reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 that was filed with the SEC on March 5, 2024. Our other significant accounting policies have not changed materially from the policies previously reported.
