  The company's cash, cash equivalents, and investments of $266.9 million as of March 31, 2026, combined with $187.9 million in net proceeds from the April 2026 public offering, are now expected to fund operations into the first quarter of 2029. This is a significant extension from the Q1 2028 runway previously reported in the March 12, 2026 10-K.

• Reduced Quarterly Net Loss

  Allogene reported a net loss of $42.6 million for Q1 2026, a 28.6% improvement compared to a net loss of $59.7 million in Q1 2025, indicating improved financial performance.

• Public Offering Finalized

  The company closed an underwritten public offering on April 16, 2026, selling 100.2 million shares at $2.00 per share, which generated approximately $187.9 million in net proceeds. This offering was previously announced and priced.

This quarterly report provides a significant update on Allogene's financial stability, extending its cash runway by a full year into Q1 2029, a critical factor for a clinical-stage biotech. The company also reported a notable reduction in its net loss for the quarter. While the recent public offering was dilutive, it successfully secured the capital needed for this extended runway. Investors should continue to monitor the ongoing intellectual property disputes related to its core gene-editing technology, as these could still impact key oncology programs.
