2026 Financial Outlook Based on its current operating plans, Karyopharm expects the following for full year 2026:
The Company, together with its financial advisor Centerview Partners and other advisors, is actively evaluating a range of financing opportunities and strategic alternatives with the objective of maximizing both near- and long-term value for stakeholders while preserving strategic flexibility as it advances its myelofibrosis program. The Company expects its existing liquidity, including cash, cash equivalents and investments, together with anticipated cash flow from net product revenue and license and other revenue, to fund its current operating plans into September 2026. As discussed above, the Company is actively evaluating a range of financing opportunities and strategic alternatives with the objective of extending its cash runway, preserving strategic flexibility and maximizing long-term shareholder value as it advances its myelofibrosis program. On September 10, 2026, a $15.8 million principal payment is due under the Company's senior secured term loan facility. If that payment is made without additional financing or a waiver from the Company's lenders, the Company expects its cash, cash equivalents and investments would fall below its $10.0 million minimum liquidity covenant, which would constitute an event of default under the term loan. Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results Total revenue: Total revenue for the second quarter of 2026 was $33.4 million, compared to $37.9 million for the second quarter of 2025. Net product revenue: Net product revenue was $30.8 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $29.7 million for the second quarter of 2025. Net product revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026, reflects relatively consistent demand for XPOVIO in an increasingly competitive multiple myeloma marketplace. License and other revenue: License and other revenue was $2.6 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $8.2 million for the second quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $6.5 million reduction in development-related reimbursement revenue from Menarini following the expiration, on December 31, 2025, of Menarini's annual $15.0 million research and development obligation. Cost of sales: Cost of sales was $1.1 million for both the second quarter of 2026 and 2025. R&D expenses: R&D expenses were $29.0 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $32.8 million for the second quarter of 2025. The decrease was driven by our continued prioritization, focus, and efficient spending while advancing our late-stage programs, with our Phase 3 trials having completed full enrollment. SG&A expenses: SG&A expenses were $25.9 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $28.5 million for the second quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by proactive cost containment while maintaining disciplined alignment of pre-launch investments with clinical and regulatory milestones. Loss from operations: Loss from operations was $22.5 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $24.4 million for the second quarter of 2025. The improvement reflects the benefit of cost reduction initiatives implemented over the past several years. Interest income: Interest income was $0.7 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $0.6 million for the second quarter of 2025. Interest expense: Interest expense was $13.1 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $11.2 million for the second quarter of 2025. The increase reflects higher outstanding debt and higher interest rates following the Company's financing transactions executed in October 2025. Other expense, net: Other expense, net was $32.1 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2025. This expense is primarily non-operational and non-cash due to fair value of embedded derivatives and liability-classified common stock warrants related to the refinancing transactions completed in the second quarter of 2024 and the fourth quarter of 2025. The fair value of these instruments is remeasured each reporting period and is impacted by various inputs, including changes in the Company's share price. Net loss: Net loss was $67.0 million, or $2.32 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $37.3 million, or $4.32 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025. Net loss for the second quarter of 2026 reflects an operating loss of $22.5 million and $44.5 million in non-operating expense comprised of $13.1 million of interest expense and $32.1 million of other expense partially offset by $0.7 million of interest income. Cash position: Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments as of June 30, 2026, totaled $65.4 million.

About the Phase 3 SENTRY Trial SENTRY (XPORT-MF-034; NCT04562389) is a Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating a once-weekly dose of 60 mg of selinexor in combination with ruxolitinib compared to placebo plus ruxolitinib in JAKi-naïve myelofibrosis patients with platelet counts >100 x 109/L (N=353). Patients were randomized 2-to-1 to the selinexor arm. The co-primary endpoints for this trial are spleen volume reduction ≥ 35% (SVR35) at week 24 and the average change in absolute total symptom score (Abs-TSS) over 24 weeks relative to baseline. The results from the Phase 3 SENTRY trial were presented at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting and were simultaneously published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Clinical Oncology. In addition, the results were presented at the 2026 European Hematology Association Congress, where the presentation was recognized as one of the six best abstracts at the meeting. About Myelofibrosis Myelofibrosis is a rare blood cancer that affects approximately 20,000 patients in the United States and 17,000 patients in the European Union1. The disease causes bone marrow fibrosis (scarring in the bone marrow), which makes it difficult for the bone marrow to make healthy blood cells, splenomegaly (enlarged spleen), progressive anemia which often leads to symptoms like fatigue and weakness, and other disease associated symptoms including abdominal discomfort, pain under the left ribs, early satiety, night sweats and bone pain. The only approved class of therapies to treat myelofibrosis are JAK inhibitors, including ruxolitinib.
About the Phase 3 XPORT-EC-042 Trial EC-042 (XPORT-EC-042; ENGOT-EN20; GOG-3083; NCT05611931) is a global, Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluating selinexor as a maintenance-only therapy following chemotherapy or chemotherapy plus a checkpoint inhibitor in patients with TP53 wild-type advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer (N=257). Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive either a 60 mg, once-weekly, administration of oral selinexor or placebo until disease progression. The trial includes two patient populations, for which the primary endpoint of progression-free survival was tested sequentially: 1) a modified intent to treat population (mITT) that includes patients with either, a) TP53 wild-type tumors with proficient mismatch repair status (pMMR); or, b) TP53 wild-type tumors with deficient mismatch repair status (dMMR), who are medically ineligible to receive checkpoint inhibitors; and, 2) the trial's original intent to treat (ITT) population, which includes all patients enrolled in the trial whose tumors are TP53 wild-type, regardless of MMR status. Overall survival is a key secondary endpoint. The mITT population enrolled 236 patients. As of the data cut-off, 106 progression-free survival events as assessed by the investigator had been observed in the mITT population. In connection with the EC-042 trial, Karyopharm entered into a global collaboration with Foundation Medicine, Inc. to develop FoundationOne®CDx, a tissue-based comprehensive genomic profiling test to identify and enroll patients whose tumors are TP53 wild-type. The trial is being conducted in collaboration with the European Network of Gynaecological Oncological Trial groups (ENGOT) and the GOG Foundation, Inc. About Endometrial Cancer Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common gynecologic malignancy in the U.S.1 In 2026, approximately 68,000 uterine cancers (predominantly endometrial) are expected to be diagnosed, with approximately 14,000 deaths.1 Worldwide there were about 420,368 cases with 97,723 deaths in 2022.2 Both incidence and mortality have continued to rise.3,4 Key risk factors include obesity, type 2 diabetes, high-fat diets, tamoxifen or oral estrogen use, and delayed menopause.5 TP53 is a well-recognized prognostic marker for EC; >50% of advanced or recurrent EC tumors are TP53wt (gene for tumor protein P53; wild-type), and ~40%-55% are both TP53wt and mismatch repair-proficient (pMMR).6-8 While immune checkpoint inhibitors have shown benefit in patients with mismatch repair–deficient (dMMR) and pMMR, the magnitude of benefit is greater for patients with dMMR tumors versus pMMR tumors.9-10 There remains an unmet need for targeted therapies for patients with pMMR EC.11
