(BUSINESS WIRE) -- BeOne Medicines Ltd. (NASDAQ: ONC; HKEX: 06160; SSE: 688235), a global oncology company, today announced financial results and corporate updates from the first quarter of 2026.
John V. Oyler, Co-Founder, Chairman, and CEO, BeOne, said:
“These strong first-quarter results reinforce BeOne’s continued growth as a global oncology leader, driven by disciplined commercial execution, and underpinned by our established hematology leadership, and an impressive, rapidly emerging solid tumor pipeline. The sustained competitive advantages of our global superhighway for clinical development and manufacturing are now clear. BRUKINSA has firmly established itself as the foundational, best-in-class BTK inhibitor with unmatched long-term efficacy and safety data for the treatment of CLL and as the only BTKi with proven efficacy superiority over ibrutinib which has resulted in clear global revenue leadership. The fixed-duration combination of sonrotoclax, a foundational, next-generation BCL2 inhibitor, and BRUKINSA represents a potential new standard-of-care in first-line CLL, with BTK CDAC BGB-16673 emerging as a potential first-in-class therapy in the relapsed or refractory setting. With more than 20 abstracts across our hematology and solid tumor pipeline accepted for presentation at ASCO, BeOne has solidified its position as a leading oncology company.”
Product Revenue totaled $1.5 billion for the first quarter of 2026, representing growth of 34% compared to the prior-year period.
BRUKINSA: Global sales totaled $1.1 billion for the first quarter of 2026, representing growth of 38% compared to the prior-year period; U.S. sales of BRUKINSA totaled $761 million in the first quarter of 2026, representing growth of 35% compared to the prior-year period.
TEVIMBRA (tislelizumab): Global sales totaled $206 million in the first quarter of 2026, representing growth of 20% compared to the prior-year period.
Amgen in-licensed products: Global sales totaled $142 million in the first quarter of 2026, representing growth of 25% compared to the prior-year period.
Gross Margin as a percentage of global product sales for the first quarter of 2026 was 89%, compared to 85% in the prior-year period on a GAAP basis. The gross margin percentage increased due to a proportionally higher sales mix of global BRUKINSA compared to other products in our portfolio. Gross margin also benefited from productivity improvements resulting in lower costs for both BRUKINSA and TEVIMBRA.
Research and Development (R&D) Expenses increased for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the prior-year period on both a GAAP and adjusted basis due to advancing preclinical programs into the clinic and early clinical programs into late stage.
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses increased for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the prior-year period on both a GAAP and adjusted basis due to continued investment to support commercial growth. SG&A expenses as a percentage of product sales were 37% for the first quarter of 2026, compared to 41% in the prior-year period.
Net Income and Basic/Diluted Earnings Per Share
GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2026 was $227 million, an increase of $226 million over the prior-year period, primarily attributable to revenue growth and improved operating leverage.
For the first quarter of 2026, basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.16 and $0.15 per share and $2.05 and $1.96 per American Depositary Share (ADS), compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.00 per share and $0.01 per ADS in the prior-year period.
Free Cash Flow for the first quarter of 2026 was $161 million, representing an increase of $173 million over the prior-year period.

Updated Full Year 2026 Guidance
BeOne’s total revenue guidance for full year 2026 of $6.3 billion to $6.5 billion includes expectations for strong revenue growth driven by BRUKINSA’s leadership position in the U.S. and continued global expansion in both Europe and other important rest of world markets. Gross margin percentage is expected to be in the high-80% range and includes the impact of product mix and a full year of 2026 productivity improvements. Guidance for combined operating expenses on a GAAP basis includes expectations of investment to support growth in both commercial and research at a pace that continues to deliver meaningful operating leverage.
The Company is providing the following additional guidance on items impacting net income and earnings per ADS:
Other income (expense): Estimated range of $25 million to $50 million in expense, includes interest amortization from Royalty Pharma arrangement.
Income tax outlook: Earnings may provide sufficient positive evidence to reverse certain valuation allowances in 2026, resulting in a material tax benefit when recognized; the timing and magnitude of a potential reversal is uncertain; prior to reversal, income tax expense should trend with earnings per historical relationship. See Form 10-Q for additional updates on income tax uncertainties.
Diluted ADS outstanding: The Company expects diluted ADSs outstanding of approximately 118 million.
