The core value here is the immediate cash flow from the six commercial assets, which acts as a cushion while the nine Phase 3-stage assets work through the final hurdles for approval. This structure is designed to mitigate the single-asset risk that plagues many smaller biotech firms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere’s the quick math on that near-term value: In the first nine months of 2025, XOMA Royalty collected $43.9 million in cash from its partners, with $30.3 million coming directly from royalties and commercial sales. That’s real money funding operations and acquisitions, like the recent ones for LAVA Therapeutics, Turnstone Biologics, and HilleVax.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eValue: Immediate Cash Flow \u0026amp; Pipeline Optionality\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe portfolio provides tangible value now, not just promises later.
