Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Organization Organization
Vir Biotechnology, Inc. (Vir Bio or the Company) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on powering the immune system to transform lives by discovering and developing medicines for serious infectious diseases and cancer. Its clinical-stage portfolio includes programs for chronic hepatitis delta and multiple dual-masked T-cell engagers (TCEs) across validated targets in solid tumor indications. Vir Bio also has a portfolio of preclinical programs across a range of infectious diseases and oncologic malignancies. Vir Bio has exclusive rights to the PRO-XTEN® masking platform for oncology and infectious disease. PRO-XTEN® is a trademark of Amunix Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Sanofi company.
Sales Agreement
In November 2023, the Company entered into a sales agreement (Sales Agreement) with Cowen and Company, LLC, as sales agent (TD Cowen), pursuant to which the Company may from time to time offer and sell shares of its common stock for an aggregate offering price of up to $300.0 million, through or to TD Cowen, acting as sales agent or principal. The shares will be offered and sold under the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 and a related prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on November 3, 2023. The Company will pay TD Cowen a commission of up to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale of shares, reimburse legal fees and disbursements and provide TD Cowen with customary indemnification and contribution rights. As of December 31, 2025, no shares have been issued under the Sales Agreement. The Sales Agreement will expire in November 2026.
Need for Additional Capital
Although the Company recorded net income for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, it has otherwise incurred net losses since inception. The Company expects to continue to incur net losses over the next several years and may need to raise additional capital to fully implement its business plan. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had accumulated deficit of $1.2 billion. The Company had $781.6 million in cash, cash equivalents, and investments as of December 31, 2025. Based on the Company’s current operating plan, management believes that the $781.6 million as of December 31, 2025 will be sufficient to fund its operations through at least the next 12 months from the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position for the periods presented. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Vir Bio and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Foreign Currency
The functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates, and non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars using historical exchange rates. Revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates throughout the respective periods. Transaction gains and losses are included in other expense, net on the consolidated statements of operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and adjusts those estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Segments
Operating segments are defined as components of an entity about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (CODM) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company manages the business activities on a consolidated basis and operates as one reportable segment that constitutes all of the consolidated entity, which is the business of powering the immune system to transform lives by discovering and developing medicines for serious infectious diseases and cancer. Factors used in determining the reportable segment include the nature of the Company’s operating activities, the organizational and reporting structure, and the type of information regularly provided to the CODM to allocate resources and evaluate financial performance. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies
Concentration of Credit Risk, Credit Loss and Other Risks and Uncertainties
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and investments. Cash and cash equivalents are deposited in checking and sweep accounts at financial institutions. Such deposits may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents. Management believes that the Company is not currently exposed to significant credit risk as the Company’s investments are held in custody at reputable third-party financial institutions.
The Company’s investment policy limits investments to certain types of securities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies and institutions with investment-grade credit ratings and places restrictions on maturities and concentration by type and issuer. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of a default by the financial institutions holding its cash, cash equivalents and investments and issuers of the investments to the extent recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has no off-balance sheet concentrations of credit risk.
The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through receivables from collaborators and through its available-for-sale debt securities. The Company’s expected loss allowance methodology for the receivables is developed using historical collection experience, current and future economic market conditions, a review of the current aging status and financial condition of the entities. Specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate allowance for customers that have a higher probability of default. Balances are written off when determined to be uncollectible. The Company’s expected loss allowance methodology for the debt securities is developed by reviewing the extent of the unrealized loss, the size, term, geographical location, and industry of the issuer, the issuers’ credit ratings and any changes in those ratings, as well as reviewing current and future economic market conditions and the issuers’ current status and financial condition. There was no allowance for losses on available-for-sale debt securities attributable to credit risk as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents, which consist of amounts invested primarily in money market funds and are stated at fair value.
Investments
Investments include available-for-sale debt securities and equity investments, which are carried at fair value.
Available-for-Sale Debt Securities
The Company’s valuations of marketable securities are generally derived from independent pricing services based on quoted prices in active markets for similar securities at period end. Generally, investments with original maturities beyond three months at the date of purchase and which mature at, or less than 12 months from the consolidated balance sheet date are considered short-term investments, with all others considered to be long-term investments. Unrealized gains and losses deemed temporary in nature are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity, which is included in interest income on the consolidated statements of operations. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.
Equity Investments
The Company measures its investment in equity securities at fair value at each reporting date based on the market price at period end if it has a readily determinable fair value. Otherwise, the investments in equity securities are measured at cost less impairment, adjusted for observable price changes for identical or similar investments of the same issuer unless the Company has significant influence or control over the investee. Changes in fair value resulting from observable price changes are presented as change in fair value of equity investments, and changes in fair value resulting from foreign currency translation are included in other expense, net on the consolidated statements of operations.
Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
Restricted cash and cash equivalents primarily includes funds to secure standby letters of credit and security deposits with financial institutions under lease agreements and funds restricted as to withdrawal or usage under grant agreements and collaboration agreements.
Property and Equipment, Net
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization and, if applicable, impairment charges. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of their useful lives or the remaining life of the lease. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the balance sheet, and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations in the period realized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
The Company reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (group) may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparing the carrying amount to the future net undiscounted cash flows that the asset (group) is expected to generate. If such asset (group) is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset (group) exceeds its fair value projected discounted future net cash flows arising from the asset (group).
Acquired Intangible Assets
The Company’s intangible assets were acquired via business combinations or asset acquisitions.
In-process research and development (IPR&D) acquired as part of an asset acquisition is recorded at cost and expensed immediately if they have no alternative future uses. IPR&D acquired in a business combination is recorded as indefinite-lived intangible assets using the estimated fair value. The Company reviews indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets might not be recoverable. If the carrying value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, then it is written down to its fair value. If a product candidate derived from the indefinite-lived intangible asset is commercialized, the useful life will be determined, and the carrying value will be amortized prospectively over that estimated useful life. Alternatively, if a product candidate is abandoned, the carrying value of the intangible asset will be charged to research and development expenses.
Finite-lived intangible assets acquired in a business combination are initially recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date. Finite-lived intangible assets acquired in an asset acquisition are initially recognized at cost. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective finite-lived intangible assets, generally seven to 15 years. Finite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (group) may not be recoverable, like that of property and equipment.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that this asset may be impaired. In testing for goodwill impairment, the Company has the option of first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the Company elects to bypass the qualitative assessment, or if a qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that the carrying value exceeds its fair value, the Company performs a quantitative goodwill impairment test to compare the fair value of its reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying value, including goodwill, exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, the Company will recognize an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value (but not in excess of the carrying value of goodwill).
Revenue Recognition
License and Collaboration Revenue
The Company analyzes its license and collaboration arrangements to assess whether they are within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification 808, Collaborative Arrangements (“ASC 808”) to determine whether such arrangements involve joint operating activities performed by parties that are both active participants in the activities and exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on the commercial success of such activities. For elements of collaboration arrangements that are accounted for pursuant to ASC 808, the Company first determines which elements of the collaboration are deemed to be a performance obligation with a customer within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606). The accounting policy pursuant to ASC 606 is outlined below. For elements of collaboration arrangements that are not subject to the guidance in ASC 606, an appropriate recognition method is determined and applied consistently. The Company’s license and collaboration revenue is accounted for under ASC 606. The Company may receive reimbursement or make payments to a collaboration partner to satisfy cost sharing requirements. These payments are generally recorded as an offset or increase to research and development expenses, respectively.
Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when the Company’s customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods and services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
Prior to recognizing revenue, the Company estimates the transaction price, including variable consideration that is subject to a constraint. Amounts of variable consideration are included in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. These estimates are re-assessed each reporting period as required. These agreements may include the following types of consideration: non-refundable upfront payments, reimbursement for research and development services, research, development or regulatory milestone payments, profit-sharing arrangements, and royalty and commercial sales milestone payments. If there are multiple distinct performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation based on their estimated standalone selling prices. The Company recognizes revenue as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements. For performance obligations satisfied over time, the Company estimates the efforts needed to complete the performance obligation and recognizes revenue by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation using an input measure.
For arrangements that include sales-based royalties, including commercial milestone payments based on pre-specified levels of sales, the Company recognizes revenue at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied). Achievement of these royalties and commercial milestones may solely depend upon the performance of the licensee.
The Company is considered an agent in elements of collaboration arrangements within the scope of ASC 808 when the collaboration partner controls the product before transfer to the customers and has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the product. In these instances, license and collaboration revenue is recorded in the period in which such sales occur and is based upon the net sales reported by the Company’s collaboration partners, net of cost of goods sold and allowable expenses (e.g., manufacturing, distribution, medical affairs, selling, and marketing expenses) in the period. The Company evaluates whether payments due to it under its collaboration arrangements, such as profit-share payments, should be recognized as revenue in the period that they become due, or whether any portion of the payments due should be constrained from revenue recognition because it is not probable that recognizing such amounts will not result in a significant reversal of cumulative revenues recognized in future reporting periods.
Grant Revenue
Grants received, including cost reimbursement agreements, are assessed to determine if the agreement should be accounted for as an exchange transaction or a contribution. An agreement is accounted for as a contribution if the resource provider does not receive commensurate value in return for the assets transferred. Contributions are recognized as grant revenue when all donor-imposed conditions have been met, usually when the specified research and development activities are performed.
Acquisitions
The Company evaluates acquisitions and other similar transactions using the guidance in ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (ASC 805), to determine whether the transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or an acquisition of asset(s) by first applying a screen test to assess if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. If the screen test is met, the transaction is accounted for as an acquisition of asset(s). If the screen test is not met, further assessment is required to determine whether the Company has acquired inputs and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs, which would meet the definition of a business.
If determined to be an acquisition of asset(s), the Company accounts for the transaction using the cost accumulation and allocation method under ASC 805-50. Under this method, the cost of the acquisition, including direct acquisition-related costs, is allocated to the assets acquired or liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis. Goodwill is not recognized in an asset acquisition, and any difference between consideration transferred and the fair value of the net assets acquired is allocated to the certain identifiable assets acquired based on their relative fair values.
Contingent consideration payments in asset acquisitions are recognized when the contingency is resolved and the consideration is paid or becomes payable (unless the contingent consideration payments are subject to guidance in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, or ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging). Upon recognition of the contingent consideration payments, the amount is included in the cost of the acquired asset or group of assets.
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method, assets acquired, including IPR&D projects, and liabilities assumed are recorded at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. Any excess fair value of consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Contingent consideration obligations incurred in connection with the business combination are recorded at their fair values on the acquisition date, are remeasured each subsequent reporting period until the related contingencies are resolved and are classified as contingent consideration on the consolidated balance sheets. The changes in fair values of contingent consideration related to the achievement of various milestones are recorded within research and development expenses or selling, general and administrative expenses based on the nature of the relevant underlying activities.
Research and Development Expenses
To date, research and development expenses have related primarily to discovery efforts and preclinical and clinical development of product candidates. Research and development expenses are recognized as incurred, and payments made prior to the receipt of goods or services to be used in research and development are capitalized until the goods or services are received. Research and development expenses include expenses related to license and collaboration agreements; contingent consideration from business acquisitions; personnel-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation for personnel contributing to research and development activities; expenses incurred under agreements with third-party contract manufacturing organizations, contract research organizations, and consultants; clinical costs, including laboratory supplies and costs related to compliance with regulatory requirements; and other allocated expenses, including expenses for rent, facilities maintenance, and depreciation and amortization.
The Company has acquired and may continue to acquire the rights to develop and commercialize new product candidates from third parties. Upfront payments and research and development milestone payments made in connection with acquired licenses or product rights are expensed as incurred, provided that they do not relate to a regulatory approval milestone or assets acquired in a business combination.
The Company’s expense accruals for clinical trials and manufacturing are based on estimates of contracted services provided by third-party vendors not yet billed. When billing terms under these contracts do not coincide with the timing of when the work is performed, the Company is required to make estimates of its outstanding obligations to those third parties as of the period end. The accrual estimates are based on a number of factors, including the Company’s knowledge of the research and development programs and clinical manufacturing activities, the status of the programs and activities, invoicing to date, and the provisions in the contracts. The Company obtains information regarding unbilled services directly from these service providers and performs procedures to support its estimates based on its internal understanding of the services provided to date. However, the Company may also be required to estimate these services based on information available to its internal clinical and manufacturing administrative staff if such information is not able to be obtained timely from its service providers.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company’s stock-based compensation programs grant awards that have included stock options, restricted stock units, restricted stock awards, and shares issued under its employee stock purchase plan. Grants are awarded to employees, directors, and non-employee service providers. The Company calculates the estimated fair value of stock options and employees’ purchase rights under the Company’s 2019 employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which requires the use of subjective assumptions including volatility and expected term, among others. The fair value of restricted stock awards (RSAs) and restricted stock units (RSUs) is based on the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Company will adjust the fair value if any are determined to be spring-loaded. Stock-based compensation is recognized using the straight-line method for awards that vest only upon the employee’s or non-employee’s continued service to the Company. Stock-based compensation expense of the employees’ purchase rights under the ESPP is recognized over the offering period. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.
Leases
In accordance with ASC 842, Leases, the Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception by assessing whether the arrangement contains an identified asset and whether it has the right to control the identified asset. Right-of-use (ROU) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets are based on the measurement of the lease liability and also include any lease payments made prior to or on lease commencement and exclude lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred, as applicable. On the lease commencement date, the Company estimates and includes in its lease payments any lease incentive amounts based on future events when (1) the events are within the Company’s control and (2) the event triggering the right to receive the incentive is deemed reasonably certain to occur. If the lease incentive received is greater or less than the amount recognized at lease commencement, the Company recognizes the difference as an adjustment to ROU asset and/or lease liability, as applicable.
As the implicit rate in the Company’s leases is generally unknown, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate estimated based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future lease payments. When calculating its estimated incremental borrowing rates, the Company considers its credit risk, the lease term, the total lease payments and the impact of collateral, as necessary. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. The Company reassesses lease terms each period. When the Company is reasonably certain it will exercise the options to extend or terminate the lease, the lease term is re-assessed to include such options. ROU assets and lease liabilities are remeasured upon lease term re-assessment and upon certain lease modifications using the present value of remaining lease payments and estimated incremental borrowing rate upon lease modification. Rent expense for the Company’s operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis within operating expenses over the reasonably assured lease term.
The Company elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for any leases within its existing classes of assets and, as a result, accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. The Company also elected to not apply the recognition requirement to any leases within its existing classes of assets with a term of 12 months or less.
ROU assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (group) may not be recoverable, like that of property and equipment.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Current income tax expense or benefit represents the amount of income taxes expected to be payable or refundable for the current year. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and net operating losses and credit carryforwards and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when such items are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax assets are reduced, as necessary, by a valuation allowance when management determines it is more likely than not that some or all of the tax benefits will not be realized. The Company’s tax positions are subject to income tax audits. The Company recognizes the tax benefit of an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable upon examination by the taxing authority, based on the technical merits. The tax benefit recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit which is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement with the taxing authority. The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions on a regular basis. The evaluations are based on several factors, including changes in facts and circumstances, changes in tax law, correspondence with tax authorities during the course of the audit, and effective settlement of audit issues. The provision for income taxes includes the effects of any accruals that the Company believes are appropriate, as well as any related net interest and penalties. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 subjects a U.S. shareholder to current tax on global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. The Company has elected to recognize the tax on GILTI as a period expense in the period the tax is incurred.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to Vir Bio by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration of common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to Vir Bio by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus any potential dilutive effects of common stock equivalents outstanding during the period calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method. For periods that the Company was in a net loss position, basic net loss per share is the same as diluted net loss per share as the inclusion of all potential common securities outstanding would have been anti-dilutive.
New Accounting Pronouncement
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Updates (ASU) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require entities to disclose (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation, (2) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated between domestic and foreign) and (3) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by federal, state and foreign). ASU 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state and local jurisdictions, among other changes. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-06 in this Annual Report on Form 10-K on a prospective basis.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (ASU 2024-03), which requires entities to disclose specific information on the types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2024-03 should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2024-03 may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (ASU 2025-06), which clarifies and modernizes the accounting for costs related to internal-use software in ASC Topic 350-40, Intangibles —Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software (ASC 350-40). ASU 2025-06 removed all references to project stages throughout ASC 350-40, and requires entities to begin capitalizing software costs when both of the following occur: (1) management, with the relevant authority, implicitly or explicitly authorizes and commits to funding a computer software project; and (2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended (referred to as the probable-to-complete recognition threshold). The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2025-06 should be either applied on a prospective basis, retrospective or modified prospective basis based on the status of the project and whether software costs were capitalized before the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2025-06 may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Derivative Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract (ASU 2025-07), which refines the scope of Topic 815 by clarifying which contracts are subject to derivative accounting and expands the scope exception for certain contracts not traded on an exchange to include contracts for which settlement is based on operations or activities specific to one of the parties to the contract. The guidance also provides clarification under Topic 606 for share-based payments from a customer in a revenue contract. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted ASU 2025-07 on a prospective basis in 2025.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet to conform to the current period presentation and enhance comparability. As a result, certain amounts related to deferred revenue, previously reflected in deferred revenue, current, were reclassified to accrued and other liabilities.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations to conform to the current period presentation and enhance comparability. As a result, the Company changed its presentation of collaboration revenue to license and collaboration revenue and its presentation of contract revenue to other revenue. In conjunction with these changes, certain license revenue, primarily related the Company’s collaboration with Glaxo Wellcome UK Limited and GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals S.A. (GSK), which were presented as part of contract revenue in prior years, are now presented as part of license and collaboration revenue.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts on the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows to conform to the current period presentation and enhance comparability. As a result, certain amounts related to collaboration receivables, previously reflected in changes in operating assets and liabilities – receivable from collaboration, were reclassified to changes in operating assets and liabilities – prepaid assets and other current assets. Additionally, certain amounts related to deferred revenue, previously reflected in changes in operating assets and liabilities – deferred revenue, were reclassified to changes in operating assets and liabilities – accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Measurements
The Company determines the fair value of financial assets and liabilities using the fair value hierarchy, which establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, as follows:
Level 1: Inputs which include quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities.

Accrued interest receivable excluded from both the fair value and amortized cost basis of the available-for-sale debt securities are presented within prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Accrued interest receivable amounted to $3.6 million and $5.0 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company did not write off any accrued interest receivable during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
The Company recognized total net unrealized gains of $1.1 million and $1.4 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The gross unrealized losses as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 were due to changes in interest rates. The Company determined that the gross unrealized losses on our investments as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 were temporary in nature. The Company currently does not intend, and it is highly unlikely that it will be required, to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. As of December 31, 2025, no securities have contractual maturities (or weighted average life for asset-backed securities) of longer than two years.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s equity investment consisted solely of ordinary shares of Brii Biosciences Limited (Brii Bio Parent). The equity securities of Brii Bio Parent are listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and are considered to be marketable equity securities measured at fair value at each reporting date. As of December 31, 2025, the Company remeasured the equity investment at a fair value of $6.1 million. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized unrealized gain of $1.7 million as other income in the consolidated statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized unrealized losses of $5.5 million and $21.9 million, respectively, as other income in the consolidated statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the unrealized gains or loss related to foreign currency translation were immaterial.
Contingent Consideration
Contingent consideration primarily includes potential milestone payments in connection with the acquisitions of Humabs BioMed SA (Humabs) in 2017. The Company classifies the contingent consideration as Level 3 financial liabilities within the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration related to the Humabs acquisition was determined by calculating the probability-weighted regulatory and commercial milestone payments based on the assessment of the likelihood and estimated timing that certain milestones would be achieved.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company achieved a $17.5 million clinical milestone upon the enrollment of the first patient in phase 3 ECLIPSE registrational program for chronic hepatitis delta, which was paid in April 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the Company calculated the estimated fair value of the remaining regulatory approval milestone related to tobevibart using the following significant unobservable inputs:
Unobservable inputValue
Discount rates11.4%
Probability of achievement85.5%
For the commercial milestones, the Company used a Monte Carlo simulation because of the availability of discrete revenue forecasts. As of December 31, 2025, the Monte Carlo simulation assumed a commercial product launch and associated discrete revenue forecasts, as well as the following significant unobservable inputs for the remaining commercial milestones related to tobevibart:
Unobservable inputValue
Volatility65.0%
Discount rate11.0%
Probability of achievement85.5%
The discount rate captures the credit risk associated with the payment of the contingent consideration when earned and due. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration related to the Humabs acquisition was $34.1 million and $40.1 million, respectively, with changes in the estimated fair value recorded in research and development expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration related to the Humabs acquisition involves significant estimates and assumptions, which give rise to measurement uncertainty.
The following table sets forth the changes in the estimated fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration (in thousands):

The developed technology primarily includes the antibody platform acquired in connection with the business combination of Humabs in 2017. The contract-based intangible assets include intangibles from the product approval of a sublicensed intellectual property right in December 2020, which was previously accounted for as IPR&D, and intangibles recognized for workforce capitalized under the Company’s Sanofi Agreement (as defined in Note 6 Collaboration and License Agreements). Amortization expense related to finite-lived intangible assets totaled $0.4 million, $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, primarily included as research and development expenses on the consolidated statements of operations. There was no impairment for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

Grant Agreements Grant Agreements
Gates Foundation Grants
The Company previously entered into various grant agreements with the Gates Foundation (formerly known as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation), under which it was awarded grants to support its HIV vaccine program, tuberculosis vaccine program, HIV vaccinal antibody program and malaria vaccinal antibody program. During 2025 all of the grant agreements expired except for the HIV vaccine program. Upon the expiration of the vaccinal antibody program grant the Company returned $9.5 million of unused grant funds to the Gates Foundation. The term of the HIV vaccine program grant agreement will expire mid 2027, unless earlier terminated by the Gates Foundation for the Company’s breach, failure to progress the funded project, in the event of the Company’s change of control, change in the Company’s tax status, or significant changes in the Company’s leadership that the Gates Foundation reasonably believes may threaten the success of the project.
In 2022, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with the Gates Foundation, under which the Gates Foundation purchased 881,365 shares of the Company’s common stock on January 13, 2022, at a price per share of $45.38, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $40.0 million, which is used in furtherance of Gates Foundation’s charitable purposes to develop the Company’s vaccinal antibody program, in each case for use in specified developing countries.
The fair market value of the common stock issued to the Gates Foundation was $28.5 million, based on the closing stock price of $37.65 per share on the closing date and taking into account a discount for the lack of marketability due to the restrictions in place on the underlying shares, resulting in a $11.3 million premium received by the Company. The Company accounted for the common stock issued to the Gates Foundation based on its fair market value on the closing date. The stock purchase premium is recognized over time as required research and development activities are performed to advance the Company’s vaccinal antibody program. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had unrecognized premium balance of $9.3 million, including $1.9 million as part of accrued and other liabilities and $7.4 million as part of other long-term liabilities.
Grant payments received in advance that are related to future research activities are deferred and recognized as grant revenue as the research and development activities are performed. The Company recognized grant revenue of $2.0 million, $4.6 million, and $13.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

Collaboration and License Agreements Collaboration and License Agreements
License Agreement with Norgine Pharma UK Limited
On December 15, 2025, the Company and Norgine Pharma UK Limited (together with its affiliates in the Norgine group of companies, Norgine) entered into a License Agreement (the Norgine Agreement) under which the Company granted Norgine an exclusive license with respect to commercial rights and certain development rights to the combination of tobevibart, an investigational monoclonal antibody, and elebsiran, an investigational small interfering ribonucleic acid (Licensed Product), for the treatment of people living with chronic hepatitis delta (CHD) in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand (collectively, the Norgine Territory), while Vir Bio will retain commercial rights for the Licensed Product in the United States and all other international markets outside of the People’s Republic of China and Taiwan. The Company and Norgine will collaborate on the development and commercialization of Licensed Product in Norgine Territory under the oversight of various joint committees, with the Company primarily responsible for development activities for the ongoing trials in Vir Bio’s ECLIPSE registrational program (ECLIPSE 1, 2 and 3) and Norgine primarily responsible for regulatory, medical affairs and commercialization activities. Vir Bio will also provide future commercial supply to Norgine. In exchange, Vir Bio received an initial reimbursement of historical development costs from Norgine in the amount of €55 million or $64.3 million in December 2025 and is eligible to receive up to an additional €495 million in clinical, regulatory and sales milestones, along with tiered, mid-teen to high-twenties percent royalties on net sales in the Norgine Territory. In addition, clinical development costs for the ongoing ECLIPSE registrational program will be shared, with Norgine contributing approximately 25% of external costs starting from January 1, 2026.
The Company determined that the Norgine Agreement is a collaborative arrangement given that both parties are (i) active participants in the development and commercialization of Licensed Product in Norgine Territory and (ii) exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on the commercial success of Licensed Product. The Company further evaluated whether the Norgine Agreement is partially within the scope of ASC 606 and identified two performance obligations, the delivery of Norgine License and the promise to conduct development activities for the ongoing ECLIPSE registrational program. The Norgine License was considered distinct from the development activities as those activities will not significantly modify or customize the Norgine License, in-part due to the late clinical stage of development at contract inception. With respect to the promise to deliver commercial supplies in the future, it is at Norgine’s option and will be provided at fair value, and therefore, it is not considered a material right or a performance obligation under the Norgine Agreement.
For each of the two units of account, the Company then assessed whether each unit was associated with a customer. The Company determined that Norgine is a customer with respect to the delivery of Norgine License and that Norgine is not a customer with respect to the development activities.
With respect to the delivery of Norgine License, the transaction price include the initial payment of €55 million, clinical, regulatory and sales milestones of up to €495 million and sales royalties. The clinical and regulatory milestones are variable considerations and are fully constrained at contract inception. Sales milestones and royalties are variable considerations and will be recognized when future sales occur. The Company will reassess revenue constraints each period. The performance obligation to deliver Norgine License was satisfied upon transfer of the license to Norgine in December 2025. With respect to the promise to conduct development activities and related cost share, the Company will account for the costs shared with Norgine as reduction of research and development expenses in the period when those costs are shared under the Norgine Agreement.
As a result, the Company recognized the €55 million or $64.3 million as license and collaboration revenue in year ended December 31, 2025.
License Agreement with Sanofi
On September 9, 2024 (Acquisition Date), the Company closed the license agreement with Amunix Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Sanofi company, previously announced on August 1, 2024 (the “Sanofi Agreement). The Sanofi Agreement provides the Company with an exclusive worldwide license to use of the proprietary PRO-XTEN® universal masking technology for oncology and infectious disease, excluding the ophthalmological field, and to three early-stage clinical dual-masked TCEs that all leverage the PRO-XTEN® universal masking platform within a range of oncology indications.
Under the Sanofi Agreement the Company made an upfront payment to Sanofi in the amount of $100.0 million and placed into escrow a $75.0 million milestone payment due to former shareholders of Amunix Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which is subject to VIR-5525 achieving “first in human dosing” by 2026. In July 2025, the first patient was dosed in phase 1 study evaluating VIR-5525. During the third quarter of 2025, the Company paid the $75.0 million milestone, which was recorded as part of research and development expenses in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Sanofi will also be eligible to receive up to an additional $323.0 million in future development and regulatory milestone payments, up to an additional $1.49 billion in commercial net sales-based milestone payments, and low single-digit to low double-digit tiered royalties on worldwide net sales. In addition, if, within a two-year period from the execution of the Sanofi Agreement, the Company executes a transaction that gives rise to Vir Bio receiving certain sublicense income related to the licenses obtained from the Sanofi Agreement, Sanofi may be eligible to receive a portion of such income.
Additionally, as part of the Sanofi Agreement, the Company paid $3.7 million to acquire certain lab equipment and cash deposits primarily related to contract manufacturing agreements. Shortly after the closing of the Sanofi Agreement, the Company hired certain former Sanofi personnel. The Company incurred approximately $4.6 million of transaction costs associated with the closing of the Sanofi Agreement. The following table summarizes the aggregate amount paid for the assets acquired by the Company in connection with the Sanofi Agreement as of the acquisition date (in thousands):
Upfront$100,000 
Equipment1,150 
Deposits2,580 
Transaction costs4,612 
Total purchase consideration$108,342 
The Company accounted for the Sanofi Agreement as an asset acquisition in accordance ASC 805-50 as substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired is concentrated in a group of similar identifiable assets. The three early clinical stage oncology TCEs use the same universal PRO-XTEN® masking technology and have similar development timelines, probabilities of risk, and loss of patent exclusivity, among other characteristics. ASC 805-50 requires the acquiring entity in an asset acquisition to recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the cost to the acquiring entity on a relative fair value basis, which includes consideration given. The total purchase price was allocated to the acquired assets based on their relative fair values as of the Acquisition Date as follows (in thousands):
IPR&D$102,836 
Property and equipment1,119 
Prepaid expenses and other current assets (1)
3,975 
Assembled workforce412 
Total purchase consideration$108,342 
__________________________________________________________
(1) Includes acquired cash deposits primarily related to contract manufacturing agreements.
The fair value of the IPR&D was estimated using a multi-period excess earnings income approach that discounts expected cash flows to present value by applying a discount rate that represents the estimated rate that market participants would require for the intangible asset. The expected cash flows and related discount rate are significant unobservable inputs categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. As the three early clinical stage oncology TCEs have not achieved regulatory approval when acquired, the portion of the purchase price allocated to the IPR&D was immediately expensed to research and development expenses as they had no alternative future use. Contingent milestone payments will be recognized when the contingency is resolved and the consideration is paid or becomes payable. Any milestone payments made in the future will either be expensed as research and development or capitalized as a developed asset based on when regulatory approval is obtained. The Company will recognize sales-based milestone and royalty payments in cost of sales as revenue from product sales is recognized. The fair value of the assembled workforce was estimated using a replacement cost method. The assembled workforce is classified as intangible assets, net and is amortized over an expected useful life of five years.
Collaboration Agreements with GSK
2020 GSK Agreement
In 2020, the Company, GSK entered into a collaboration agreement (the 2020 GSK Agreement), pursuant to which the Company and GSK agreed to collaborate to research, develop and commercialize products for the prevention, treatment and prophylaxis of diseases caused by SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, and potentially other coronaviruses. On February 8, 2023, the Company and GSK entered into two amendments to the 2020 GSK Agreement, pursuant to which the Company and GSK agreed to reduce the scope of the collaboration to include only sotrovimab and VIR-7832, and certain variants thereof. The Company retains the right to progress development of vaccine products directed to SARS-CoV-2 and other coronaviruses independently (including with or for third parties) outside the scope of the 2020 GSK Agreement, subject to the payment of tiered royalties to GSK on net sales of any vaccine products covered by certain GSK intellectual property rights in the low single digits. The Company retains the sole right to progress the development and commercialization of the terminated antibody products independently (including with or for third parties), subject to the payment of tiered royalties to GSK on net sales of such terminated antibody products at percentages ranging from the very low single digits to the mid-single digits, depending on the nature of the antibody product being commercialized. The parties share all development costs, manufacturing costs, and costs and expenses for the commercialization of sotrovimab, with the Company bearing 72.5% of such costs, except that GSK has the sole right to develop (including to seek, obtain or maintain regulatory approvals), manufacture and commercialize sotrovimab in and for People’s Republic of China and Taiwan at GSK’s sole cost and expense, and equal sharing of such costs for the functional genomics products.
In May 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted an emergency use authorization (EUA) in the United States for sotrovimab, the first collaboration product under the Antibody Program. In April 2022, the FDA excluded the use of sotrovimab in all U.S. regions due to the continued proportion of COVID-19 cases caused by certain Omicron subvariants. In December 2024, the FDA revoked EUA granted to sotrovimab.
GSK is the lead party for manufacturing and commercialization of sotrovimab. As the agent, the Company recognizes its contractual share of the profit-sharing amounts as revenue, based on sales net of various estimated deductions such as rebates, discounts, chargebacks, credits and returns, less cost of sales and allowable expenses (including manufacturing, distribution, medical affairs, selling, and marketing expenses) in the period the sale occurs. In periods when allowable expenses exceed amounts recognized for net product sales of sotrovimab, negative revenue is reported in our consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s contractual share of the profit-sharing amounts is subject to potential future adjustments to allowable expenses, which represents a form of variable consideration. At each reporting period, the Company evaluates the latest available facts and circumstances to determine whether any portion of profit-sharing amounts should be constrained. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company released $35.7 million profit-sharing amount previously constrained for certain allowable manufacturing expenses related to excess sotrovimab supply and binding reserved manufacturing capacity not utilized.
During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company recorded profit-sharing amounts, profit-sharing amounts constrained, and profit-sharing amounts previously constrained, released as components of license and collaboration revenue in the consolidated statements of operations, as follows (in thousands):

Costs associated with co-development activities performed under the 2020 GSK Agreement are included in research and development expenses on the consolidated statements of operations, with any reimbursement of costs by GSK reflected as a reduction of such expenses. Under the 2020 GSK Agreement, the Company recognized additional net research and development expenses of $5.5 million, $7.7 million, and $23.4 million during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
2021 Expanded GSK Collaboration
In 2021, the Company and GSK entered into a collaboration agreement (the 2021 GSK Agreement) under which the parties agreed to expand the 2020 GSK Agreement to collaborate on three separate programs. One of three programs granted GSK the option to select up to three non-influenza target pathogens. GSK selected respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) as its first pathogen in 2022. On February 21, 2024, the Company and GSK entered into a letter agreement (the Letter Agreement) pursuant to which the Company and GSK agreed to reduce the scope of collaboration to include only the RSV program. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company recognized $51.7 million deferred revenue as license and collaboration revenue as GSK’s rights to select the remaining up to two additional non-influenza target pathogens expired on March 25, 2024. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company opted-out of the RSV program. GSK continues to pursue the development and commercialization of the RSV program unilaterally. If the RSV program is commercialized, GSK will pay to the Company a royalty on net sales at the low single digits.
Costs associated with co-development activities performed under the 2021 GSK Agreement are included in research and development expenses in the consolidated statements of operations, with any reimbursement of costs by GSK reflected as a reduction of such expenses. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the reimbursement of research and development expenses by GSK is not material. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized additional net research and development expenses of $2.2 million.
Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
In October 2017, the Company and Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Alnylam) entered into a collaboration and license agreement (the Alnylam Agreement). Under the Alnylam Agreement, the Company obtained a worldwide, exclusive license to develop, manufacture and commercialize siRNA product candidates directed to HBV, including elebsiran, for all uses and purposes including the treatment of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis delta virus (HDV). Under the Alnylam Agreement, the Company also held options to obtain similar licenses to siRNA product candidates for up to four other infectious disease targets selected by Vir Bio, but following an amendment and restatement of the Alnylam Agreement in March 2025 (the Restated Alnylam Agreement), those options (and all rights and obligations related to those infectious disease targets) were terminated. At the same time Alnylam elected to not opt-in to the profit-sharing arrangement with respect to any licensed siRNA product candidates, including elebsiran, directed to HBV or HDV. The Company remains solely responsible, at its expense, for conducting all development, manufacture and commercialization activities for elebsiran in HBV and HDV indications, and the Company is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and commercialize elebsiran for the treatment of HBV or HDV in the United States and specified major markets.
In connection with the Restated Alnylam Agreement and Alnylam’s election to not opt-in to the profit-sharing arrangement, the Company paid Alnylam $30.0 million, which was recorded as part of research and development expenses in the Company’s statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. After this payment, the remaining amount of the development and regulatory milestones is up to $145.0 million for elebsiran. Any development and regulatory milestones for elebsiran will be payable to Alnylam only once, irrespective of dosage, formulation forms, route of administration or indication. Following commercialization, the Company will be required to pay to Alnylam up to $250.0 million in the aggregate for the first achievement of specified levels of net sales by elebsiran products directed to HBV, whether for the treatment of HBV or HDV. The Company will also be required to pay Alnylam tiered royalties at percentages ranging from the low double-digits to mid-teens on annual net sales of siRNA products directed to HBV, such as elebsiran, whether for the treatment of HBV or HDV, subject to specified reductions and offsets. The royalties are payable on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis until the later of the expiration of all valid claims of specified patents covering such product in such country and 10 years after the first commercial sale of such product in such country. Alnylam is entitled to receive a portion of any consideration the Company receives as a result of granting a sublicense under the licenses granted to Vir Bio by Alnylam under the Alnylam Agreement.
The Company did not incur any expenses under the Alnylam Agreement during the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and incurred expenses of $1.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2023.
Xencor
In August 2019, the Company entered into a patent license agreement, which was amended in February 2021, with Xencor. The Company obtained non-exclusive, sublicensable (only to its affiliates and subcontractors) licenses to incorporate Xencor’s licensed technologies into, and to evaluate, antibodies that target influenza A and HBV, and worldwide, non-exclusive, sublicensable licenses to develop and commercialize products containing such antibodies incorporating such technologies for all uses. These technologies are used in tobevibart, incorporating Xencor’s Xtend technology. In consideration for the grant of the license, the Company is obligated to pay regulatory and commercial milestones along with tiered royalties based on net sales of licensed products ranging from the low- to mid-single-digits.

Restructuring, Impairment and Related Costs Restructuring, Impairment and Related Costs
In December 2023, the Company initiated strategic steps to reduce operating expenses and focus its capital allocation on programs with the highest potential for patient impact and value creation (2023 Restructuring Plan). As part of the steps, the R&D facilities in St. Louis, Missouri and Portland, Oregon were closed in 2024. In addition, approximately 75 net positions, or 12% of the workforce, were eliminated, which includes reductions from the Company’s discontinuation of its innate immunity small molecule group that was initiated in the third quarter of 2023. In August 2024, the Company initiated a strategic restructuring to advance the development of its hepatitis programs and focus on the highest near-term value opportunities (2024 Restructuring Plan). The organizational realignment and optimization included phasing out programs in influenza, COVID-19, and the Company’s T cell-based viral vector platform, as well as a workforce reduction of approximately 25% or approximately 140 employees.
The following table is a summary of restructuring charges incurred under both the 2023 and 2024 Restructuring Plans and a roll forward of accrued restructuring costs (in thousands).

Leases [Abstract]  
Leases Leases
The Company has various operating lease arrangements for office and laboratory spaces located in California and Switzerland with contractual lease periods expiring at various dates through 2035. These leases require monthly lease payments that may be subject to annual increases throughout the lease term. Certain lease agreements also provide the Company with the option to renew for five years or the option to terminate the lease early. These options are not considered in the lease term unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options, upon which the ROU assets and lease liabilities are remeasured. Throughout the term of the lease agreements, the Company is responsible for paying certain operating costs, in addition to rent, such as common area maintenance, taxes, utilities and insurance. These additional charges are considered variable lease costs and are recognized in the period in which the costs are incurred. The discount rate used to determine the present value of the lease payments is our estimated collateralized incremental borrowing rate, based on the yield curve for the respective lease terms, as we generally cannot determine the interest rate implicit in the leases.

Indemnification
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into agreements that may include indemnification provisions. Under such agreements, the Company may indemnify, hold harmless and defend an indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party. In some cases, the indemnification will continue after the termination of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these provisions is not determinable. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain officers that may require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. To date, no demands have been made upon the Company to provide indemnification under these agreements, and thus, there are no indemnification claims that the Company is aware of that could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations, or consolidated statements of cash flows.

In September 2016, the Company adopted the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2016 Plan) for the issuance of ISO, NSO, SARs, restricted stock and other stock awards, to employees, non-employee directors, and consultants under terms and provisions established by the Company’s board of directors and approved by the stockholders. Awards granted under the 2016 Plan expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant. For ISO and NSO, the option price shall not be less than 100% of the estimated fair value on the date of grant. Awards granted typically vest over a four-year period but may be granted with different vesting terms. In conjunction with adopting the 2019 Plan, the Company discontinued the 2016 Plan with respect to the new equity awards.
2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In September 2019, the Company’s board of directors adopted, with the approval of its stockholders, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). The ESPP became effective on the completion of the Company’s IPO. The ESPP initially authorized the issuance of 1,280,000 shares of the Company’s common stock under purchase rights granted to its employees or employees of any of the Company’s designated affiliates. The number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance is subject to an automatic increase at each calendar year. Under the ESPP, the Company may specify offerings with durations of not more than 27 months and may specify shorter purchase periods within each offering. The ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a discount through payroll deductions of up to 15% of their earnings, subject to any plan limitations. Unless otherwise determined by the Company’s board of directors, employees can purchase shares at 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the first date of an offering or the purchase date. During the year ended December 31, 2025, 645,752 shares were issued under the ESPP.

The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $0.8 million, $2.4 million, and $5.9 million, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the estimated weighted-average grant date fair value of the options granted was $6.90, $7.40, and $19.13 per share, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the Company expects to recognize the remaining unamortized stock-based compensation expense of $30.0 million related to stock options, over an estimated weighted average period of 2.1 years.
Stock Options Granted to Employees
The fair value of stock options granted to employees was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
Years Ended December 31,
202520242023
Expected term of options (in years)
5.5 – 6.1
5.5 – 6.1
5.5 – 6.1

Risk-free interest rate
3.7% – 4.5%
3.5% – 4.6%
3.4% – 4.9%
Expected dividend yield
The valuation assumptions for stock options were determined as follows:
Expected Term—The expected term represents the period that the stock options granted are expected to be outstanding and is determined using the simplified method (based on the mid-point between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term) as the Company has limited historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior for its stock option grants.
Expected Volatility—The expected volatility is determined by using a blended approach of the Company and its industry peers’ historical volatilities.
Risk-Free Interest Rate—The Company determines the risk-free interest rate over the expected term of the stock options based on the constant maturity rate of U.S. Treasury securities with similar maturities as of the date of the grant.
Expected Dividend Rate—The expected dividend is zero as the Company has not paid nor does it anticipate paying any dividends on its profit interest units in the foreseeable future.
Employees Stock Purchase Plan
In June 2021, the Company initiated its first offering period under the ESPP. Each offering period is six months, which commences on the grant date on or after June 1 and December 1 of each year and ends on the purchase date on or before November 30 and May 31 of each year.
The fair value of employees’ purchase rights under the ESPP was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
Years Ended December 31,
202520242023
Expected term of ESPP (in years)0.50.50.5
Expected stock price volatility
63.5% - 95.4%
56.6% - 64.4%
41.2% - 95.1%
Risk-free interest rate
3.7% - 4.3%
4.3% - 5.2%
4.5% - 5.2%
Expected dividend yield
The expected term of employees’ purchase rights is equal to the purchase period. The expected volatility was determined based on the Company’s historical volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based on the constant maturity rate of U.S. Treasury securities with similar maturities as of the date of the grant over the expected term of the employees’ purchase rights. The expected dividend is zero as the Company has not paid nor does it anticipate paying any dividends on its profit interest units in the foreseeable future. Based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, the estimated weighted-average grant date fair value of the employees’ purchase rights granted for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $2.07, $2.99 and $4.93 per share, respectively.

The unvested shares of RSUs have not been included in the shares issued and outstanding. As of December 31, 2025, there was $47.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock units, all of which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 2.4 years.

Although the Company has taxable income for the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, it has otherwise incurred accumulated tax losses since inception. Based on the available objective evidence, the Company cannot conclude it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company has provided a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded a valuation allowance increase of $73.7 million. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of $1.2 billion for federal purposes and $446.4 million for state tax purposes. If not utilized, these carryforwards will begin to expire in 2036 for federal and in 2037 for state tax purposes. As of December 31, 2025, the Company also has net operating loss carryforwards of $34.2 million for Australian tax purposes, which have an indefinite carryforward period, and $16.0 million net operating loss carryforwards for Swiss tax purposes, which have a seven-year carryforward period.
Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amounts of and benefits from net operating loss carryforwards may be impaired or limited in certain circumstances. Events which cause limitations in the amount of net operating losses that the Company may utilize in any one year include, but are not limited to, a cumulative ownership change of more than 50% over a three-year period. The Company completed its Section 382 analysis as of December 31, 2025, and based on this analysis, it does not expect that the annual limitations will significantly impact its ability to utilize its net operating loss or tax credit carryforwards prior to expiration.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company has research and development tax credit carryforwards of $16.4 million and $30.5 million for federal and state tax purposes, respectively. If not utilized, the federal carryforward will expire in various amounts beginning in 2036. The California credits can be carried forward indefinitely.
On July 4, 2025, legislation formally titled An Act to Provide for Reconciliation Pursuant to Title II of H. Con. Res. 14, commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), was signed into law by President Trump. The application of the OBBBA did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements during the year ended December 31, 2025.
Uncertain Tax Positions
As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company had an unrecognized tax benefit balance of $17.3 million and $17.9 million, respectively, primarily related to transfer pricing and research and development tax credits. A portion of the unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2025, if recognized, would increase the Company’s effective tax rate by 2.3%. Other unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2025, if recognized, would be in the form of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, which attract a full valuation allowance offset, and would not impact the Company’s effective tax rate. Because the statute of limitations does not expire until after the net operating loss and credit carryforwards are actually used, the statutes are still open on calendar years ending December 31, 2017 and forward for federal and state purposes.
The Company recognized $1.3 million expense for interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions during 2025, all of which was recorded as accrued and other liabilities as of December 31, 2025. The Company files U.S. federal, state, Switzerland and Australia tax returns. The Company’s tax years remain open for all years. As of December 31, 2025, the Company was not under examination by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or foreign tax jurisdiction.

The Company manages the business activities on a consolidated basis and operates as one reportable segment that constitutes all of the consolidated entity, which is the business of powering the immune system to transform lives by discovering and developing medicines for serious infectious diseases and cancer. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The measure of segment profit or loss is segment net loss that also is reported on the consolidated statements of operations as consolidated net loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets. The CODM uses segment net loss to monitor spending, assess performance for the Company and management, evaluate the progress of completing corporate goals, decide how to allocate resources among the Company’s clinical and pre-clinical portfolios, and make strategic decisions about business development opportunities.
The segment revenue, segment profit or loss, and significant segment expenses regularly provided to CODM are summarized as follows (in thousands).

Subsequent Event Subsequent Event
On February 19, 2026, the Company and Astellas US LLC (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates (including its indirect parent, Astellas Pharma Inc.), Astellas) entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the Astellas Agreement). Upon closing of the transaction contemplated by the Astellas Agreement, the Company and Astellas will enter into a global strategic collaboration to co-develop and co-commercialize VIR-5500, an investigational PRO-XTEN® dual-masked CD3 TCE targeting PSMA (Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen) for the treatment of prostate cancer that is currently in Phase 1 development, through a sharing of expenses and revenues. The Company has agreed to grant to Astellas, subject to certain intellectual property rights of Sanofi, an exclusive license to develop, manufacture, commercialize and otherwise exploit VIR-5500 and certain related derivative compounds throughout the world for therapeutic, prophylactic, palliative and diagnostic uses.
Under the terms of the Astellas Agreement, in the U.S., the Company will share profits and losses from future sales of VIR-5500 equally with Astellas, should VIR-5500 receive regulatory approval, and the Company will have the option to co-promote VIR-5500. Outside of the U.S., Astellas will obtain exclusive rights to commercialize VIR-5500 and be responsible for all commercialization costs. The Company and Astellas will jointly develop VIR-5500, with global clinical development costs shared 40% by the Company and 60% by Astellas, while costs of U.S.-specific studies will be shared equally, and Astellas will be solely responsible for costs of ex-U.S.-specific studies. In addition, the Company has the option to opt out of development cost sharing responsibilities and U.S. profit sharing, and in such case, Astellas will pay the Company royalties on net sales made in the U.S., as described below.
The Company will receive $335 million in upfront and near-term milestone payments, including $240 million in cash, a $75 million equity investment pursuant to a separate Stock Purchase Agreement (the Astellas SPA, described further below), and a near-term $20 million milestone payment upon completion of manufacturing technology transfer, anticipated in the second quarter or third quarter of 2027. The Company will also be eligible to receive up to $1.37 billion in future development, regulatory and ex-U.S. sales milestones, along with tiered, double-digit royalties on ex-U.S. net sales, which royalties are subject to reduction under certain specified circumstances. If the Company elects to opt out of development cost sharing responsibilities and U.S. profit sharing, it would be eligible to receive up to $1.37 billion (or $1.60 billion if the Company has met a pre-defined limited funding threshold at the time of the opt-out) in future development, regulatory and global sales milestones, along with tiered, double-digit royalties on global net sales, which royalties are subject to reduction under certain specified circumstances. Further, certain opt-out milestones, if met, will include reimbursement of a portion of the Company’s previously expensed development and commercialization spend. The closing of the transaction is subject to the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended.
Under the terms of the Sanofi Agreement, the Company will share with Sanofi 20% of certain future collaboration proceeds, including the upfront payment, equity premium and the portion of milestones, profit-share and royalties that exceed amounts already owed to Sanofi.
Concurrently with the execution of the Astellas Agreement, the Company also entered into the Astellas SPA, pursuant to which Astellas has agreed to purchase 7,239,382 shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $75 million, subject to customary closing conditions and the closing of the Astellas Agreement. The purchase price per share of the Company’s common stock of $10.36 is equal to a 50% premium of the 30-day volume weighted average price of a share of the Company’s common stock as of February 17, 2026. The Astellas SPA includes standstill, voting and lockup provisions, with customary exceptions, that expire one year after the date of the anticipated closing of the Astellas SPA. One year after the anticipated closing of the Astellas SPA, Astellas will have, under certain circumstances, a customary right to require the Company to register the resale of the shares purchased pursuant to the Astellas SPA.

Material Terms of Trading Arrangement
On December 19, 2025, for estate and financial planning purposes, Brent Sabatini, MBA, our Senior Vice President, Finance and Chief Accounting Officer, adopted a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan for the sale of our common stock that is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Exchange Act Rule 10b5-1(c) (the Sabatini Trading Plan). The Sabatini Trading Plan provides for sales of RSU and Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) shares pursuant to market orders, which orders will be in effect from March 23, 2026 to June 12, 2026. The RSU share sales are intended to generate funds to satisfy Mr. Sabatini’s tax obligations in connection with RSU shares that will vest in 2026 pursuant to RSU awards granted to him. The total number of RSU shares that will be sold under this arrangement is not currently determinable as the number will vary based on the extent to which vesting conditions are satisfied and the number of RSU shares that are sold upon vesting pursuant to the mandatory sell to cover tax withholding arrangements. The total number of ESPP shares that will be sold under this arrangement also is not currently determinable as the number will vary based upon how many ESPP shares are purchased by Mr. Sabatini in May 2026 in accordance with the Company’s ESPP provisions. Under the Company’s 10b5-1 plan guidelines, Mr. Sabatini is prohibited from selling more than 50,000 shares in a single trading day.

Our Head of Information Technology (HIT), together with our Head of Information Security (HIS), and other members of our management team meet regularly to review current cybersecurity risks. The HIT and management team representatives meet with the Audit Committee routinely to discuss and review our cybersecurity program and risk landscape.
Collaborative Approach: We have implemented a cross-functional approach involving all employees to help in identifying, preventing, and mitigating cybersecurity threats and incidents. We have implemented processes that provide for the prompt escalation of known cybersecurity incidents so that decisions regarding the public disclosure and reporting of such incidents can be made by our management team, together with the Audit Committee, in a timely manner.
Technical Safeguards: We deploy technical safeguards designed to protect our information systems from cybersecurity threats, including firewalls, intrusion prevention and detection systems, and access controls. We also employ multi-factor authentication and a managed endpoint detection and response solution for malware. These measures are evaluated and improved through vulnerability assessments and penetration testing completed by third party experts, as well as cybersecurity threat intelligence.
Incident Response and Recovery: We have established and maintain an incident response plan that addresses our response to a cybersecurity incident. This plan is evaluated regularly.
Third-Party Risk Management: We maintain a risk-based approach to identifying and overseeing cybersecurity risks presented by third parties, including vendors, service providers and third-party systems.
Education and Awareness: We provide regular training on cybersecurity threats to equip our personnel with effective tools to address them and to communicate our latest information security policies, processes and practices.
We periodically evaluate and test our policies, standards, processes, and practices to address cybersecurity threats and incidents. These efforts include a wide range of activities, including third party assessments, vulnerability testing, and other exercises focused on evaluating the effectiveness of our cybersecurity measures. The results of such assessments and reviews are reported to our management team, the Audit Committee and the Board, and we adjust our cybersecurity program as necessary based on the information provided by these assessments and reviews.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)
12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2025
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position for the periods presented. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Vir Bio and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Foreign Currency
Foreign Currency
The functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates, and non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars using historical exchange rates. Revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates throughout the respective periods. Transaction gains and losses are included in other expense, net on the consolidated statements of operations.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and adjusts those estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Segments
Segments
Operating segments are defined as components of an entity about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (CODM) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company manages the business activities on a consolidated basis and operates as one reportable segment that constitutes all of the consolidated entity, which is the business of powering the immune system to transform lives by discovering and developing medicines for serious infectious diseases and cancer. Factors used in determining the reportable segment include the nature of the Company’s operating activities, the organizational and reporting structure, and the type of information regularly provided to the CODM to allocate resources and evaluate financial performance. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies
Concentration of Credit Risk, Credit Loss and Other Risks and Uncertainties
Concentration of Credit Risk, Credit Loss and Other Risks and Uncertainties
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and investments. Cash and cash equivalents are deposited in checking and sweep accounts at financial institutions. Such deposits may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents. Management believes that the Company is not currently exposed to significant credit risk as the Company’s investments are held in custody at reputable third-party financial institutions.
The Company’s investment policy limits investments to certain types of securities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies and institutions with investment-grade credit ratings and places restrictions on maturities and concentration by type and issuer. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of a default by the financial institutions holding its cash, cash equivalents and investments and issuers of the investments to the extent recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has no off-balance sheet concentrations of credit risk.
The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through receivables from collaborators and through its available-for-sale debt securities. The Company’s expected loss allowance methodology for the receivables is developed using historical collection experience, current and future economic market conditions, a review of the current aging status and financial condition of the entities. Specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate allowance for customers that have a higher probability of default. Balances are written off when determined to be uncollectible. The Company’s expected loss allowance methodology for the debt securities is developed by reviewing the extent of the unrealized loss, the size, term, geographical location, and industry of the issuer, the issuers’ credit ratings and any changes in those ratings, as well as reviewing current and future economic market conditions and the issuers’ current status and financial condition. There was no allowance for losses on available-for-sale debt securities attributable to credit risk as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Cash Equivalents
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents, which consist of amounts invested primarily in money market funds and are stated at fair value.
Investments
Investments
Investments include available-for-sale debt securities and equity investments, which are carried at fair value.
Available-for-Sale Debt Securities
The Company’s valuations of marketable securities are generally derived from independent pricing services based on quoted prices in active markets for similar securities at period end. Generally, investments with original maturities beyond three months at the date of purchase and which mature at, or less than 12 months from the consolidated balance sheet date are considered short-term investments, with all others considered to be long-term investments. Unrealized gains and losses deemed temporary in nature are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity, which is included in interest income on the consolidated statements of operations. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.
Equity Investments
The Company measures its investment in equity securities at fair value at each reporting date based on the market price at period end if it has a readily determinable fair value. Otherwise, the investments in equity securities are measured at cost less impairment, adjusted for observable price changes for identical or similar investments of the same issuer unless the Company has significant influence or control over the investee. Changes in fair value resulting from observable price changes are presented as change in fair value of equity investments, and changes in fair value resulting from foreign currency translation are included in other expense, net on the consolidated statements of operations.
Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
Restricted cash and cash equivalents primarily includes funds to secure standby letters of credit and security deposits with financial institutions under lease agreements and funds restricted as to withdrawal or usage under grant agreements and collaboration agreements.
Property and Equipment, Net
Property and Equipment, Net
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization and, if applicable, impairment charges. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of their useful lives or the remaining life of the lease. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the balance sheet, and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations in the period realized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
The Company reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (group) may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparing the carrying amount to the future net undiscounted cash flows that the asset (group) is expected to generate. If such asset (group) is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset (group) exceeds its fair value projected discounted future net cash flows arising from the asset (group).
Acquired Intangible Assets
Acquired Intangible Assets
The Company’s intangible assets were acquired via business combinations or asset acquisitions.
In-process research and development (IPR&D) acquired as part of an asset acquisition is recorded at cost and expensed immediately if they have no alternative future uses. IPR&D acquired in a business combination is recorded as indefinite-lived intangible assets using the estimated fair value. The Company reviews indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets might not be recoverable. If the carrying value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, then it is written down to its fair value. If a product candidate derived from the indefinite-lived intangible asset is commercialized, the useful life will be determined, and the carrying value will be amortized prospectively over that estimated useful life. Alternatively, if a product candidate is abandoned, the carrying value of the intangible asset will be charged to research and development expenses.
Finite-lived intangible assets acquired in a business combination are initially recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date. Finite-lived intangible assets acquired in an asset acquisition are initially recognized at cost. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective finite-lived intangible assets, generally seven to 15 years. Finite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (group) may not be recoverable, like that of property and equipment.
Goodwill
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that this asset may be impaired. In testing for goodwill impairment, the Company has the option of first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the Company elects to bypass the qualitative assessment, or if a qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that the carrying value exceeds its fair value, the Company performs a quantitative goodwill impairment test to compare the fair value of its reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying value, including goodwill, exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, the Company will recognize an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value (but not in excess of the carrying value of goodwill).
Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition
License and Collaboration Revenue
The Company analyzes its license and collaboration arrangements to assess whether they are within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification 808, Collaborative Arrangements (“ASC 808”) to determine whether such arrangements involve joint operating activities performed by parties that are both active participants in the activities and exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on the commercial success of such activities. For elements of collaboration arrangements that are accounted for pursuant to ASC 808, the Company first determines which elements of the collaboration are deemed to be a performance obligation with a customer within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606). The accounting policy pursuant to ASC 606 is outlined below. For elements of collaboration arrangements that are not subject to the guidance in ASC 606, an appropriate recognition method is determined and applied consistently. The Company’s license and collaboration revenue is accounted for under ASC 606. The Company may receive reimbursement or make payments to a collaboration partner to satisfy cost sharing requirements. These payments are generally recorded as an offset or increase to research and development expenses, respectively.
Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when the Company’s customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods and services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
Prior to recognizing revenue, the Company estimates the transaction price, including variable consideration that is subject to a constraint. Amounts of variable consideration are included in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. These estimates are re-assessed each reporting period as required. These agreements may include the following types of consideration: non-refundable upfront payments, reimbursement for research and development services, research, development or regulatory milestone payments, profit-sharing arrangements, and royalty and commercial sales milestone payments. If there are multiple distinct performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation based on their estimated standalone selling prices. The Company recognizes revenue as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements. For performance obligations satisfied over time, the Company estimates the efforts needed to complete the performance obligation and recognizes revenue by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation using an input measure.
For arrangements that include sales-based royalties, including commercial milestone payments based on pre-specified levels of sales, the Company recognizes revenue at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied). Achievement of these royalties and commercial milestones may solely depend upon the performance of the licensee.
The Company is considered an agent in elements of collaboration arrangements within the scope of ASC 808 when the collaboration partner controls the product before transfer to the customers and has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the product. In these instances, license and collaboration revenue is recorded in the period in which such sales occur and is based upon the net sales reported by the Company’s collaboration partners, net of cost of goods sold and allowable expenses (e.g., manufacturing, distribution, medical affairs, selling, and marketing expenses) in the period. The Company evaluates whether payments due to it under its collaboration arrangements, such as profit-share payments, should be recognized as revenue in the period that they become due, or whether any portion of the payments due should be constrained from revenue recognition because it is not probable that recognizing such amounts will not result in a significant reversal of cumulative revenues recognized in future reporting periods.
Grant Revenue
Grants received, including cost reimbursement agreements, are assessed to determine if the agreement should be accounted for as an exchange transaction or a contribution. An agreement is accounted for as a contribution if the resource provider does not receive commensurate value in return for the assets transferred. Contributions are recognized as grant revenue when all donor-imposed conditions have been met, usually when the specified research and development activities are performed.
Acquisitions
Acquisitions
The Company evaluates acquisitions and other similar transactions using the guidance in ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (ASC 805), to determine whether the transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or an acquisition of asset(s) by first applying a screen test to assess if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. If the screen test is met, the transaction is accounted for as an acquisition of asset(s). If the screen test is not met, further assessment is required to determine whether the Company has acquired inputs and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs, which would meet the definition of a business.
If determined to be an acquisition of asset(s), the Company accounts for the transaction using the cost accumulation and allocation method under ASC 805-50. Under this method, the cost of the acquisition, including direct acquisition-related costs, is allocated to the assets acquired or liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis. Goodwill is not recognized in an asset acquisition, and any difference between consideration transferred and the fair value of the net assets acquired is allocated to the certain identifiable assets acquired based on their relative fair values.
Contingent consideration payments in asset acquisitions are recognized when the contingency is resolved and the consideration is paid or becomes payable (unless the contingent consideration payments are subject to guidance in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, or ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging). Upon recognition of the contingent consideration payments, the amount is included in the cost of the acquired asset or group of assets.
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method, assets acquired, including IPR&D projects, and liabilities assumed are recorded at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. Any excess fair value of consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Contingent consideration obligations incurred in connection with the business combination are recorded at their fair values on the acquisition date, are remeasured each subsequent reporting period until the related contingencies are resolved and are classified as contingent consideration on the consolidated balance sheets. The changes in fair values of contingent consideration related to the achievement of various milestones are recorded within research and development expenses or selling, general and administrative expenses based on the nature of the relevant underlying activities.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and Development Expenses
To date, research and development expenses have related primarily to discovery efforts and preclinical and clinical development of product candidates. Research and development expenses are recognized as incurred, and payments made prior to the receipt of goods or services to be used in research and development are capitalized until the goods or services are received. Research and development expenses include expenses related to license and collaboration agreements; contingent consideration from business acquisitions; personnel-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation for personnel contributing to research and development activities; expenses incurred under agreements with third-party contract manufacturing organizations, contract research organizations, and consultants; clinical costs, including laboratory supplies and costs related to compliance with regulatory requirements; and other allocated expenses, including expenses for rent, facilities maintenance, and depreciation and amortization.
The Company has acquired and may continue to acquire the rights to develop and commercialize new product candidates from third parties. Upfront payments and research and development milestone payments made in connection with acquired licenses or product rights are expensed as incurred, provided that they do not relate to a regulatory approval milestone or assets acquired in a business combination.
The Company’s expense accruals for clinical trials and manufacturing are based on estimates of contracted services provided by third-party vendors not yet billed. When billing terms under these contracts do not coincide with the timing of when the work is performed, the Company is required to make estimates of its outstanding obligations to those third parties as of the period end. The accrual estimates are based on a number of factors, including the Company’s knowledge of the research and development programs and clinical manufacturing activities, the status of the programs and activities, invoicing to date, and the provisions in the contracts. The Company obtains information regarding unbilled services directly from these service providers and performs procedures to support its estimates based on its internal understanding of the services provided to date. However, the Company may also be required to estimate these services based on information available to its internal clinical and manufacturing administrative staff if such information is not able to be obtained timely from its service providers.
Stock-based Compensation
Stock-based Compensation
The Company’s stock-based compensation programs grant awards that have included stock options, restricted stock units, restricted stock awards, and shares issued under its employee stock purchase plan. Grants are awarded to employees, directors, and non-employee service providers. The Company calculates the estimated fair value of stock options and employees’ purchase rights under the Company’s 2019 employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which requires the use of subjective assumptions including volatility and expected term, among others. The fair value of restricted stock awards (RSAs) and restricted stock units (RSUs) is based on the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Company will adjust the fair value if any are determined to be spring-loaded. Stock-based compensation is recognized using the straight-line method for awards that vest only upon the employee’s or non-employee’s continued service to the Company. Stock-based compensation expense of the employees’ purchase rights under the ESPP is recognized over the offering period. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.
Leases
Leases
In accordance with ASC 842, Leases, the Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception by assessing whether the arrangement contains an identified asset and whether it has the right to control the identified asset. Right-of-use (ROU) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets are based on the measurement of the lease liability and also include any lease payments made prior to or on lease commencement and exclude lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred, as applicable. On the lease commencement date, the Company estimates and includes in its lease payments any lease incentive amounts based on future events when (1) the events are within the Company’s control and (2) the event triggering the right to receive the incentive is deemed reasonably certain to occur. If the lease incentive received is greater or less than the amount recognized at lease commencement, the Company recognizes the difference as an adjustment to ROU asset and/or lease liability, as applicable.
As the implicit rate in the Company’s leases is generally unknown, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate estimated based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future lease payments. When calculating its estimated incremental borrowing rates, the Company considers its credit risk, the lease term, the total lease payments and the impact of collateral, as necessary. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. The Company reassesses lease terms each period. When the Company is reasonably certain it will exercise the options to extend or terminate the lease, the lease term is re-assessed to include such options. ROU assets and lease liabilities are remeasured upon lease term re-assessment and upon certain lease modifications using the present value of remaining lease payments and estimated incremental borrowing rate upon lease modification. Rent expense for the Company’s operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis within operating expenses over the reasonably assured lease term.
The Company elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for any leases within its existing classes of assets and, as a result, accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. The Company also elected to not apply the recognition requirement to any leases within its existing classes of assets with a term of 12 months or less.
ROU assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (group) may not be recoverable, like that of property and equipment.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Current income tax expense or benefit represents the amount of income taxes expected to be payable or refundable for the current year. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and net operating losses and credit carryforwards and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when such items are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax assets are reduced, as necessary, by a valuation allowance when management determines it is more likely than not that some or all of the tax benefits will not be realized. The Company’s tax positions are subject to income tax audits. The Company recognizes the tax benefit of an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable upon examination by the taxing authority, based on the technical merits. The tax benefit recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit which is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement with the taxing authority. The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions on a regular basis. The evaluations are based on several factors, including changes in facts and circumstances, changes in tax law, correspondence with tax authorities during the course of the audit, and effective settlement of audit issues. The provision for income taxes includes the effects of any accruals that the Company believes are appropriate, as well as any related net interest and penalties. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 subjects a U.S. shareholder to current tax on global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. The Company has elected to recognize the tax on GILTI as a period expense in the period the tax is incurred.
Net Loss Per Share
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to Vir Bio by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration of common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to Vir Bio by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus any potential dilutive effects of common stock equivalents outstanding during the period calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method. For periods that the Company was in a net loss position, basic net loss per share is the same as diluted net loss per share as the inclusion of all potential common securities outstanding would have been anti-dilutive.
New Accounting Pronouncement Not Yet Adopted
New Accounting Pronouncement
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Updates (ASU) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require entities to disclose (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation, (2) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated between domestic and foreign) and (3) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by federal, state and foreign). ASU 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state and local jurisdictions, among other changes. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-06 in this Annual Report on Form 10-K on a prospective basis.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (ASU 2024-03), which requires entities to disclose specific information on the types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2024-03 should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2024-03 may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (ASU 2025-06), which clarifies and modernizes the accounting for costs related to internal-use software in ASC Topic 350-40, Intangibles —Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software (ASC 350-40). ASU 2025-06 removed all references to project stages throughout ASC 350-40, and requires entities to begin capitalizing software costs when both of the following occur: (1) management, with the relevant authority, implicitly or explicitly authorizes and commits to funding a computer software project; and (2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended (referred to as the probable-to-complete recognition threshold). The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2025-06 should be either applied on a prospective basis, retrospective or modified prospective basis based on the status of the project and whether software costs were capitalized before the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2025-06 may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Derivative Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract (ASU 2025-07), which refines the scope of Topic 815 by clarifying which contracts are subject to derivative accounting and expands the scope exception for certain contracts not traded on an exchange to include contracts for which settlement is based on operations or activities specific to one of the parties to the contract. The guidance also provides clarification under Topic 606 for share-based payments from a customer in a revenue contract. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted ASU 2025-07 on a prospective basis in 2025.
