Description of Operations

FibroGen, Inc. (“FibroGen” or the “Company”) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on development of novel therapies at the frontiers of cancer biology and anemia.

The Company is developing FG-3246, a potential first-in-class antibody-drug conjugate (“ADC”) targeting CD46, for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (“mCRPC”) and potentially other cancers. This program also includes the development of FG-3180, an associated CD46-targeted positron emission tomography (“PET”) biomarker and imaging agent. The Company initiated a Phase 2 monotherapy dose optimization study of FG-3246 for the treatment of mCRPC, along with the exploratory analysis of FG-3180, in the third quarter of 2025.

The Company and its collaboration partners developed roxadustat (爱瑞卓®, EVRENZOTM), which is currently approved in the People’s Republic of China (“China”), Europe, Japan, and numerous other countries for the treatment of anemia in chronic kidney disease (“CKD”) patients on dialysis and not on dialysis.

On August 29, 2025, the Company closed the sale of its China operations through FibroGen International (Hong Kong) Ltd. (“FibroGen International”) to AstraZeneca Treasury Limited pursuant to the share purchase agreement entered into by the Company and AstraZeneca Treasury Limited on February 20, 2025, as amended (“Share Purchase Agreement”) for a total consideration of $220.4 million comprised of $85.0 million in enterprise value and $135.4 million in net cash held in China. AstraZeneca AB (“AstraZeneca”) was the Company’s long-time commercialization partner for roxadustat in greater China. For additional details, refer to Note 2, Discontinued Operations and Divestiture.

FibroGen has retained the rights to roxadustat in the United States of America (“U.S.”), Canada, Mexico, and in all markets not held by AstraZeneca or licensed to Astellas Pharma Inc. (“Astellas”). Astellas is commercializing roxadustat (EVRENZOTM) in Europe and Japan to treat anemia under two development and commercialization license agreements: one for Japan, and one for Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States, the Middle East and South Africa.

The Company continues to work on its development plan for roxadustat in anemia associated with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (“MDS”), a high-value indication with significant unmet medical need. The Company had a positive Type-C meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in July 2025, and reached alignment on several elements of our proposed Phase 3 study design for roxadustat in anemia associated with lower-risk MDS, including the starting dose and the inclusion criteria.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) applicable to interim financial reporting and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, therefore, do not include all information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements. The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed on March 17, 2025.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FibroGen, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its majority-owned subsidiaries, as well as any variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which FibroGen is the primary beneficiary. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company operates as one reportable segment — the development and commercialization of novel therapeutics to treat serious unmet medical needs.

Discontinued Operations

On February 20, 2025, the Company entered into the Share Purchase Agreement with AstraZeneca Treasury Limited pursuant to which FibroGen and its subsidiary FibroGen China Anemia Holdings, Ltd. agreed to sell all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of FibroGen International to AstraZeneca Treasury Limited (the “Transaction”). This sale includes all of FibroGen’s roxadustat assets in China, including FibroGen International’s subsidiary FibroGen (China) Medical Technology Development Co., Ltd (“FibroGen Beijing”) and its 51.1% interest in Beijing Falikang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Falikang”). The Transaction was closed on August 29, 2025 for a total consideration of $220.4 million, subject to certain customary adjustments as set forth in the purchase agreement, comprised of $85.0 million in enterprise value and $135.4 million in net cash held in China.

The Company analyzed the quantitative and qualitative factors and concluded that the sale of FibroGen International represents a strategic shift in FibroGen’s business and qualified as a discontinued operation since December 31, 2024. As a result, the Company determined that FibroGen International met the “held for sale” criteria and the “discontinued operations” criteria in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205, Presentation of Financial Statements. Accordingly, the operating results related to FibroGen International are classified as discontinued operations, and have been reflected as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented, and therefore, the condensed consolidated statements of operations and the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements were recasted for all comparative periods presented to classify FibroGen International as discontinued operations. In addition, the related assets and liabilities were classified within the condensed consolidated balance sheets as held for sale for each balance sheet date before the Transaction closes since December 31, 2024. See Note 2, Discontinued Operations and Divestiture, for related disclosures. Unless otherwise noted, discussion in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, relates to solely to the Company’s continuing operations.

Liquidity and Going Concern

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

As disclosed in previous filings (including the September 30, 2024 Form 10-Q and subsequent Form 10-K and Form 10-Qs), if the Company was unable to complete the above-mentioned Transaction, access additional cash from its China operations, or raise additional capital in the U.S., the Company would not have sufficient liquidity to continue operations in the U.S. for the 12 months from the date that the financial statements were issued and would not be able to comply with its financial covenant that required a minimum balance of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents to be held in accounts in the U.S. Upon an event of default, the Company’s senior secured term loan facilities with Morgan Stanley Tactical Value (“MSTV”) would become immediately due and payable. These factors had raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

On August 29, 2025, upon the Transaction close, the Company received cash for the sale of $210.4 million and repaid its senior secured term loan facilities with MSTV, outstanding interest and related premium and fees for approximately $80.9 million. With the cash proceeds from the Transaction close, based on its current operating plan, the Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund the Company’s planned operating requirements for at least the 12 months following the issuance of the financial statements for September 30, 2025.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The more significant areas requiring the use of management estimates and assumptions include valuation and recognition of revenue and deferred revenue, specifically, estimates in variable consideration for drug product sales, and estimates in transaction price per unit for the China performance obligation, which was completed during the third quarter of 2025 upon the above-mentioned Transaction close. On an ongoing basis, management reviews these estimates and assumptions. Changes in facts and circumstances may alter such estimates and actual results could differ from those estimates. In the Company’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of its financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.

The accounting policies used by the Company in its presentation of interim financial results are consistent with those presented in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed on March 17, 2025.

Net Income (Loss) per Share

Potential common shares that would have the effect of increasing diluted earnings per share are considered to be anti-dilutive and as such, these shares are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. The Company reported a loss from continuing operations for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. Therefore, dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued since their effect is anti-dilutive for these periods.

Diluted weighted average shares excluded the following potential common shares related to stock options, service-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance-based RSUs (“PRSUs”), total shareholder return (“TSR”) awards and shares to be purchased under the 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) for the periods presented as they were anti-dilutive (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2025		2024		2025		2024
Employee stock options		459		611		486		572
RSUs, PRSUs and TSR awards		27		136		38		147
