What it owns
What Nektar Therapeutics reports owning in its annual reports to the SEC: buildings, land and equipment, real estate and locations, investments, intangible assets and inventory, at the end of its latest fiscal year and a year before.
We lease a 155,215 square foot facility in the Mission Bay Area of San Francisco, California (Mission Bay Facility), under an operating lease which expires in January 2030. The Mission Bay Facility is our corporate headquarters. We also lease 135,936 square feet of office space in San Francisco (the Third Street Facility), under an operating lease which expires in January 2030.
The rest of Item 2
In connection with our 2022 and 2023 Restructuring Plans, we have consolidated our San Francisco operations in our Mission Bay Facility, and we have vacated our Third Street Facility and certain laboratory and office spaces at our Mission Bay Facility. We have sublet approximately 29,000 square feet of office and laboratory space in our Mission Bay Facility and are seeking to sublease all of the remaining spaces in both Facilities.
Alabama
We previously owned facilities consisting of approximately 124,000 square feet in Huntsville, Alabama, which housed laboratories as well as administrative, clinical and commercial manufacturing facilities for our PEGylation and advanced polymer conjugate technology operations as well as manufacturing of APIs for early clinical studies. These facilities were sold to Gannet BioChem, an affiliate of Ampersand Management LLC d/b/a Ampersand Capital Partners via the Asset Purchase Agreement on December 2, 2024.
The company is engaged in developing a proprietary pipeline of drug candidates for several therapeutic areas including oncology, pain, anti-infectives, anti-viral and immunology. The company's research and development involve in small molecule and biologic drug candidates. Its drug candidate base consists of naloxegol (Movantik), a Phase III oral opioid antagonist, etirinotecan pegol, a topoisomerase inhibitor under Phase III clinical study as of 2012, NKTR 061, NKTR-181, NKTR-214, etc.
In 2013, the company was assigned a patent which was developed by the company and other four co-inventors. The products of the company is served as a supplement to improve the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, half-life, bioavailability and other areas of drugs for the patients worldwide. As of March 2014, the company had a market capitalization of $1.7 billion with an enterprise value of $1.67 billion.
As of December 2024, at a stock price-per-share of roughly $1, the market cap is roughly $171 million. Nektar underwent periods of downsizing after unsuccessful partnerships were ended with Eli Lilly in 2023 and Bristol Myers Squibb in 2022, resulting in layoffs of most company employees.
Pipeline
Etirinotecan pegol was in the phase III BEACON trial as well as in the I-SPY2 adaptive clinical trial for breast cancer in 2016. The European Medicines Agency refused a marketing authorisation in 2017.
Bempegaldesleukin (NKTR-214) is a CD122-biased immune-stimulatory cytokine, Phase I results were announced in November 2016. It is now in a phase 2 trial in combination with nivolumab for various advanced cancers.
In 2023 Nektar's partnership with Eli Lilly in development of "rezpeg" was ended. Eli Lilly claimed the drug lacked suitable efficacy, while Nektar responded that Eli Lilly had botched the analysis.
Nov 26, 2025Phase 2 trial completed Phase 2 trial of Rezpegaldesleukin in Alopecia Areata: primary completion Nov 26, 2025, no results posted yet (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT06340360).75

Risk factors and legal proceedings
The risks Nektar Therapeutics names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Mar 13, 2026: 47 risks under these headings, as written.15
Risks Related to our Business
We are highly dependent on the success of drug candidates, particularly rezpegaldesleukin (previously referred to as NKTR-358). If these drug candidates fail in clinical development our business will be significantly harmed.
Delays in clinical studies are common and have many causes, and any significant delay in clinical studies being conducted by us or our partners could result in delay in regulatory approvals and jeopardize the ability to proceed to commercialization.
We currently rely on academic and private non-academic institutions to conduct investigator-sponsored clinical studies or trials of our drug candidates. Any failure by the investigator-sponsor to meet its obligations with respect to the clinical development of our drug candidates may delay or impair our ability to obtain regulatory approval or commercialize for other drug candidates.
The outcomes from the clinical trials of drug candidates from others, and the discovery and development of new potential therapies in immunology and oncology, could have a material and adverse impact on the value of the drug candidates in our research and development pipeline.
The risk of clinical failure for any drug candidate remains high prior to regulatory approval and there can be no assurance that our drug candidates will obtain regulatory approval for any particular indications.
Significant competition could render our partnered and proprietary drugs and drug candidates obsolete or noncompetitive, which would negatively impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Preliminary and interim data from our clinical studies that we announce or publish from time to time are subject to audit and verification procedures that could result in material changes in the final data and may change as more patient data become available.
Risks Related to our Financial Condition and Capital Requirement
Our results of operations and financial condition depend significantly on the ability of our collaboration partners to successfully develop and market drugs and they may fail to do so.
We have substantial future capital requirements and there is a risk that we may not have access to sufficient capital to meet our current business plan. If we are unable to raise additional capital in one or more financing transactions, execute new high value collaborations or other arrangements, or do not receive substantial milestone or royalty payments from our existing collaboration agreements, we would be unable to continue our current level of investment in research and development.
The commercial potential of a drug candidate in development is difficult to predict. If the market size for a new drug is significantly smaller than we anticipate, it could significantly and negatively impact our revenue, results of operations and financial condition.
The other 37 risks
If government and private insurance programs do not provide payment or reimbursement for our partnered drug or proprietary drugs, those drugs will not be widely accepted, which would have a negative impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
If we are unable to establish and maintain collaboration partnerships on attractive commercial terms, our business, results of operations and financial condition could suffer.
Our revenue has historically been exclusively derived from our collaboration agreements, which can result in significant fluctuation in our revenue from period to period, and our past revenue is therefore not necessarily indicative of our future revenue.
We expect to continue to incur substantial losses and negative cash flow from operations and may not achieve or sustain profitability in the future.
Additional cost-savings measures may be necessary following implementation of our strategic reorganization plan and cost restructuring plans.
Risks Related to Supply and Manufacturing
If our contract manufacturers are not able to manufacture biologic substance or substances in sufficient quantities that meet applicable quality standards, it could delay clinical studies or constitute a breach of our contractual obligations, any of which could significantly harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our CMOs purchase some of the starting material for biologics and biologic candidates from a single source or a limited number of suppliers and we are dependent on Gannet BioChem for the suppy of the PEG reagents, and the partial or complete loss of one of these suppliers could cause production delays and clinical trial delays.
The manufacturing operations of our contract manufacturers are subject to laws and other governmental regulatory requirements, which, if not met, would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Risks Related to Business Operations
We depend on third parties to conduct the preclinical studies and clinical trials for our drug candidates and any failure of those parties to fulfill their obligations according to protocol standards could harm our development plans and adversely affect our business.
Our future depends on the proper management of our current and future business operations and their associated expenses.
Because competition for highly qualified technical personnel is intense, we may not be able to attract and retain the personnel we need to support our operations and growth.
We are dependent on our management team and key technical personnel, and the loss of any key manager or employee may impair our ability to develop our products effectively and may harm our business, operating results and financial condition.
Inflation has increased our operating costs and could negatively impact our operations.
Our business could be adversely affected by the effects of future health epidemics.
Risks Related to Intellectual Property, Litigation and Regulatory Concerns
If we or our partners do not obtain regulatory approval for our drug candidates on a timely basis, or at all, or if the terms of any approval impose significant restrictions or limitations on use, our business, results of operations and financial condition will be negatively affected.
We may seek orphan drug status or Breakthrough Therapy or Fast Track designations or other designation for one or more of our drug candidates, but even if any such designation or status is granted, it may not lead to a faster
development process or regulatory review and may not increase the likelihood that our drug candidates will receive marketing approval, and we may be unable to maintain any benefits associated with such designations or status, including market exclusivity.
Even if we receive regulatory approval of our drug candidates, we will be subject to ongoing regulatory obligations and continued regulatory review, which may result in significant additional expense and we may be subject to penalties if we fail to comply with regulatory requirements or experience unanticipated problems with our drug candidates.
We are a party to numerous collaboration agreements and other significant agreements which contain complex commercial terms that could result in disputes, litigation or indemnification liability that could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We may not be able to obtain intellectual property licenses related to the development of our drug candidates on a commercially reasonable basis, if at all.
If any of our pending patent applications do not issue, or are deemed invalid following issuance, we may lose valuable intellectual property protection.
We rely on trade secret protection and other unpatented proprietary rights for important proprietary technologies, and any loss of such rights could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
If product liability lawsuits are brought against us, we may incur substantial liabilities.
If we or current or future collaborators or service providers fail to comply with healthcare laws and regulations, we or they could be subject to enforcement actions and civil or criminal penalties.
Healthcare legislative or regulatory reform measures may have a negative impact on our business and results of operations.
