Xencor's Audit Committee concluded on February 11, 2025 that its 2023 annual report and its three 2024 quarterly reports can no longer be relied upon. The errors involve accounting for a November 2023 royalty transaction with OMERS Life Sciences and the treatment of research and development and state tax items. The company identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting and expects to file amended reports before its 2024 Form 10-K.
The royalty deal with OMERS Life Sciences should be treated as debt, not deferred income; deferred income was overstated by $156.9 million and debt understated by $168.5 million for 2023.
Cash flow from operating activities for 2023 was overstated by $163.0 million, with financing cash flow understated by the same amount; the filing says there is no impact on cash and marketable debt securities.
Tax errors add an uncertain tax position of $5.6 million for 2023 and state income tax expense understated by approximately $2.2 million, excluding interest and penalties.
RSM US LLP recalled its February 28, 2024 audit reports, and the company plans to file amendments to each prior filing.
