<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">SAN FRANCISCO, March 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Nektar Therapeutics
(Nasdaq: NKTR) today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2016.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">Cash and investments in marketable securities at December 31, 2016
were $389.1 million as compared to $308.9 million at December 31, 2015.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&ldquo;Nektar begins 2017 in a strong position with highly promising
wholly-owned immuno-oncology and immunology clinical programs and several important data readouts expected throughout this year,&rdquo;
said Howard W. Robin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Nektar. &ldquo;Our Phase 1/2 study evaluating NKTR-214 as a potential
combination treatment regimen with Opdivo&reg; in collaboration with Bristol-Myers Squibb is proceeding nicely.&nbsp;We plan to
report initial data from the dose-escalation part of the study in the middle of this year.&nbsp; Later this month, we will have
data from our Phase 3 efficacy study of NKTR-181 in patients with chronic low back pain.&nbsp; Finally, we are pleased that we
will initiate&nbsp;a first-in-human trial shortly for NKTR-358, our proprietary T regulatory cell stimulator, which has the potential
to become a first-in-class resolution therapeutic for a wide range of immune disorders.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"><B>Summary of Financial Results</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $37.5 million as compared
to $39.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $165.4 million
as compared to $230.8 million in 2015. Revenue in 2016 included recognition of $31.0 million from AstraZeneca as&nbsp;a result
of its sublicense of MOVENTIG&reg; (naloxegol) to Kyowa Kirin in Europe.&nbsp; In addition, product sales, royalty revenue, and
non-cash royalty revenue increased in 2016 compared to 2015.&nbsp; Revenue in 2015 included recognition of a total of $130.0 million
of milestone payments from AstraZeneca following the first commercial sale of MOVANTIK&reg; in the U.S. in Q1 2015 and the first
commercial sale of MOVENTIG in the EU in Q3 2015.&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">Total operating costs and expenses in the fourth quarter of 2016
were $69.6 million as compared to $68.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Total operating costs and expenses increased primarily
as a result of higher research and development (R&amp;D) expense.&nbsp; Total operating costs and expenses for the year ended December
31, 2016 were $278.3 million as compared to $260.2 million in 2015.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">R&amp;D expense in the fourth quarter of 2016 was $50.2 million
as compared to $47.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2015.&nbsp; R&amp;D expense for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $203.8
million as compared to $182.8 million in 2015. R&amp;D expense increased primarily due to expenses for our NKTR-214 and NKTR-358
programs.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">General and administrative (G&amp;A) expense was $12.8 million in

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements<BR>
<I>This press release contains forward-looking statements which can be identified by words such as: &ldquo;anticipate,&rdquo; &ldquo;intend,&rdquo;
&ldquo;plan,&rdquo; &ldquo;expect,&rdquo; &ldquo;believe,&rdquo; &ldquo;should,&rdquo; &ldquo;may,&rdquo; &ldquo;will&rdquo; and similar references
to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make regarding the timing of the
availability of Phase 3 data for our NKTR-181 efficacy study and for our partnered programs with Bayer, the timing of the European
CHMP decision for conditional approval of ONZEALD, the timing of the availability of data for the dose-escalation study for NKTR-214
in combination with Opdivo, the future clinical development plans for our products (including&nbsp;NKTR-358 and NKTR-262),&nbsp;the
timing of availability of future clinical results, the timing of planned regulatory filings, the potential of NKTR-214 in combination
with other immunotherapy agents including Bristol-Myers Squibb&rsquo;s Opdivo (nivolumab), the timing of the completion of the NKTR-181
HAL study, and the potential of our technology and drug candidates in our research and development pipeline.&nbsp; Forward-looking
statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs,
expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, anticipated events and trends,
the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent
uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our
actual results may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on
any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those
indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others: (i) clinical study outcomes, including the Phase 3 clinical
study outcome of NKTR-181, remain very unpredictable and it is possible that a clinical study could fail due to efficacy, safety
or other important clinical findings; (ii) the CHMP and&nbsp;FDA have substantial discretion as to whether to grant marketing approval
for pharmaceutical products (including ONZEALD and those of our partners) and the decisions from these regulatory authorities are
difficult to predict and these decisions have significant financial consequences; (iii) NKTR-214 is in early-stage clinical development
and there are substantial risks that can unexpectedly occur for numerous reasons including negative safety and efficacy findings
in the ongoing Phase 1 clinical study notwithstanding positive findings in preclinical studies; (iv) our drug candidates and those
of our collaboration partners are in various stages of clinical development and the risk of failure is high and can unexpectedly
occur at any stage prior to regulatory approval for numerous reasons including negative safety and efficacy findings even after
positive findings in previous preclinical and clinical studies; (v) the timing of the commencement or end of clinical trials and
the availability of clinical data may be delayed or unsuccessful due to regulatory delays, slower than anticipated patient enrollment,
manufacturing challenges, changing standards of care, evolving regulatory requirements, clinical trial design, clinical outcomes,
competitive factors, or delay or failure in ultimately obtaining regulatory approval in one or more important markets; (vi) scientific
discovery of new medical breakthroughs is an inherently uncertain process and the future success of applying our technology platform
to potential new drug candidates (such as NKTR-181,&nbsp;NKTR-214 and NKTR-358) is therefore highly uncertain and unpredictable
and one or more research and development programs could fail; (vii) patents may not issue from our patent applications for our
drug candidates including NKTR-181 and NKTR-214, patents that have issued may not be enforceable, or additional intellectual property
licenses from third parties may be required; and (viii) certain other important risks and uncertainties set forth in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the&nbsp;Securities and Exchange Commission&nbsp;on&nbsp;March
1, 2017. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this press release is based only on information currently available to us
and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether
written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.</I></P>
