Ligand Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Ligand reported Q2 revenue of $63.7 million, up 34% year-over-year, driven by a 32% increase in royalty revenue to $48.0 million. Adjusted EPS reached $2.37, reflecting strong year-over-year growth supported by gains from its royalty portfolio and strategic investments.
The company closed the XOMA Royalty acquisition, adding over 120 assets, and completed a $700 million 0% convertible debt financing. These moves significantly expand Ligand's portfolio and strengthen its capital position with $1.36 billion in cash and equivalents.
Management reaffirmed full-year revenue guidance of $270 million to $310 million and raised the low end of its Adjusted EPS guidance range to $9.00 to $9.50. The increase is attributed to cost synergies from the XOMA deal and incremental interest income from the new notes.
