Good afternoon, and thank you for joining us today. During the second quarter, we made meaningful progress in improving operating efficiency and profitability and in advancing our product pipeline.

MODX continues to move forward with its present portfolio of five clinical trial programs in oncology, immunology, and vaccines, each with the potential to deliver first and best-in-class medicines. We initiated a Phase I, IIA clinical safety and efficacy study in the U. S. of our GLP-1 glucagon candidate, and we plan to enroll 44 healthy volunteers and presumed MASH patients to assess single-dose tolerability and pharmacokinetics. OPKO Biologics is making progress with its human growth hormone antagonist to treat acromegaly, its GLP-2 program for patients with short bowel syndrome, and its oral PTH to treat hypoparathyroidism. And Jengla, our growth hormone product, partnered with Pfizer, continues to increase market penetration as we advance label expansion clinical trials.

I'm pleased that we ended the second quarter with a strong cash position and a solid balance sheet that continues to fund our R&D portfolio at a meaningful level, while also returning capital to shareholders through our ongoing stock repurchase program.

With that brief overview, I'll turn the call over to Elias. Elias?

Sorry, I was on mute. Thank you, everyone, for joining us today. Hi, and thank you, Phil. Let me take this opportunity to highlight continued advancements in our pipeline, targeting important unmet clinical needs across large markets.

First, in immunology and immunology, I'll start with MODX, where we now have five assets in the clinic, and expect a sixth program, our in vivo CAR-T asset, to begin first-in-human clinical trials by the end of this year or in early 2027. Our collaboration with Merck for MDX 2201 focused on the vaccine against Epstein-Barr virus, commonly known as the cause of infectious mononucleosis, but is also associated with several cancers and immune-related conditions such as multiple sclerosis continues to advance. The program, fully funded by Merck, is in the late stages of data analysis of its completed Phase I trial.

We continue to expect Merck to have the data to inform the Phase II design by the end of this year, with a potential progression to Phase II clinical study next year. MDF's 2001, our lead immuno-oncology candidate for solid tumors, including head and neck, isofagial, pancreatic, lung, and prostate cancers, continues to advance in phase one and is expected to conclude dose escalation and regimen optimization by Q3 or early Q4, 2026. We then expect early data to be presented at a medical conference in late 2026 or early 2027, and we're underway with initiatives to enable subcutaneous formulations. A differentiated tetraspecific design, MDX2001 combines dual tumor antigen targeting, TROP2 and CMAT, with dual T cell activation, CD3, CD28, to enhance immune engagement and potentially deliver deeper, more durable responses than conventional T cell engagers.

Now, MDX 2003, our next generation Tetra-specific, directed to CD19, CD20 on tumor cells, and CD3, CD28 on T cell, is an engager expander designed to harness and amplify the body's immune system by precisely connecting T cells to B cell cancers, Driving enhanced T-cell activation and expansion to enable sustained anti-tubor responses, MDX 2003 has entered its phase one clinical trial is enrolling patients.

In parallel, we are also evaluating the optimal path to explore autoimmune indications for MDX 2003. Now, MDX 2004, our first-in-class tri-specific, which is a CD3, CD28, and 41BB ligand immune modulator antibody fusion molecule engineered to rejuvenate exhausted T cells and other immune cells primarily in heavily pretreated cancer patients is enrolling patients in phase one. We expect to announce preliminary data in 2027. And finally, MDX2301, our fifth MODX program in the clinic, fully funded by BARDA, is a multi-specific COVID-19 antibody that has been shown to be active against all prior and current circulating variants of the virus aimed at the prevention of COVID-19, primarily in high-risk immunocompromised patients. We're completing enrollment of its Phase I clinical trials in this third quarter of this year, with early results to be presented at medical meetings later this year or early 2027, which will inform next development stages.

In addition to COVID multi-specific antibodies, BARDA is also supporting our multi-specific influenza program, which targets conserved regions of hemagglutinin to enable broad coverage across influenza A and B strains. And we're currently conducting pre-IND work for this program. We are also excited by our continuing progress toward advancing our sixth MODEX asset, MDX3001, into clinical trials following the successful completion of all preclinical studies. Unlike traditional CAR-T therapy, we believe our in vivo CAR-T program is highly differentiated as it leverages our multispecific antibody expertise and platform with targeted lipid nanoparticles seeking to generate engineered T cells directly inside the patient body by delivering the CAR payload to the right immune cells in the body, which we can select due to our multispecific technology.

We are now in IND-enabling studies and expect to begin clinical studies by the end of 2026 or early 2027, potentially in cancer and autoimmunity indications. In May, MDX-3001 data was presented at the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy, demonstrating in vivo CAR T cell generation with B cell depletion in blood, nephoid tissues, including spleen, bone marrow, and lymph nodes. Activity was confirmed in both humanized mouse and non-human primate models.

Now, turning to research conducted with our partners, we're pleased to note continued progress with our collaboration with Regeneron, which combines their extensive library of clinically validated monoclonal antibody binders with our modular, multi-specific architecture across immunology, oncology, and metabolic diseases. We remain focused on advancing four initial discovery programs with Regeneron, using the MODX platforms to rapidly generate and optimize multi-specific antibody candidates, with the potential to expand into additional targets over time. Now, Regeneron is responsible for funding preclinical, clinical, and commercial development of selected assets, while OPKO is eligible for research, development, regulatory, and commercial milestones that could exceed $1 billion, as well as tiered royalties on global sales up to the low double digits.

We have also advanced the development of the once-weekly dual GLP-1 glucagon agonist, OPKO ADA-006. The Phase 1-2A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial is open to enrolling participants in the U. S. The first part of the trial is to evaluate the pharmacokinetic and tolerability of OPKO 88-006 at three levels of ascending doses in healthy volunteers. The Phase 2A portion of the trial will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of OPKO 88006 administered once weekly for 16 weeks in participants with presumed MASH or metabolic dysfunction associated sterohepotitis. We're also steadily advancing programs in OPKO biologics. Our pyrethroid hormone program, in collaboration with Entera Bio, as a first-in-class oral long-acting PTH tablet for hypopyrethroidism, which is structured under a 50-50 economic arrangement, reported excellent preclinical results at the recent Endocrine Society or Endo conference.

The data showed that the tablet was well tolerated, no safety concern identified, and calcemic effects were consistent with those reported for clinically validated injectable PTH replacement therapies for hypoparitalism. Ongoing studies are advancing this program towards first-in-human clinical evaluation with an intention to file an IMD later this year. Our long-acting human growth hormone antagonist program, or known as OPKO 8801001, which is designed to treat patients with acromegaly, is expected to advance to clinical trials at the end of 2026, based on the results presented at endo last month. With OPKO 8801 we envision a once weekly injection that could significantly improve upon the current standard of care which requires daily injections EnGenla our long human growth hormone commercialized by our partner Pfizer continues to progress commercially according to plan In addition, clinical label expansion through ongoing studies are underway, building on pediatric growth hormone deficiency label to further expand both market access and geographic reach.

Currently approved and commercialized in over 50 markets, the ENGENDA long-acting pediatric growth hormone deficiency product is contributing meaningfully to recurrent cash flow. Turning to our international pharmaceutical businesses, our Ibero-America business continues to grow with sustainable profitability as we focus on accelerating top-line growth and driving further operating efficiencies. Further, Rialdi, our innovative vitamin D commercialized product, continues to perform to plan and is contributing nicely to our operating cash flows.

For the quarter, global pharmaceutical product sales grew about 7% year-to-date as of June 30th of this year, due to favorable demand trends as well as foreign currency tailwinds. Now, I'd like to turn finally to our clinical diagnostics business. As previously announced, following the sale of select oncology and oncology-related clinical testing assets to LabCorp in 2025, we received $192.5 million payment at closing, along with an additional $18.4 million earn-out payment received in the second quarter of 2026. We continue to strengthen Bioreference's core diagnostics platform by leveraging our regional clinical lab operations and national specialty testing franchise with a proprietary 4K score test, serving as a key driver of growth. We continue to see 4K score tests as a unique high-value asset with the potential to deliver significant revenue and profitability as we broaden payer coverage and continue educating urologists and primary care physicians about its clinical utility.

Therefore, as we operate with a more efficient footprint and an expanding menu of higher margin services, we're progressing towards achieving break-even and positioning the business for sustainable profitability. In summary, we're encouraged by steady advancements in our MODEX portfolio, which is fully engaged in clinical development, in our biologics portfolio and partner programs, while generating non-dilutive revenue and more profitable growth and cash flow from our global pharmaceutical business and bioreference health.

With that, I'll turn the call over to Adam to review our financial results and outlook. Adam?

Thank you, Elias. We ended the quarter with a strong cash position with over $300 million in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, which is more than sufficient to fund our ongoing operations and development plans while continuing to return capital to our shareholders through our share buyback program. During the quarter, we repurchased 9.7 million shares for approximately $13 million. We have approximately $94 million authorized to repurchase additional shares of our common stock. Let's move to the financial performance of our diagnostics business. Revenue for Q2 2026 was $74.5 million, including $6.2 million from our 4K score test. Revenue in Q2 2025 was $101.1 million, with the year-over-year decline expected due to the sale of our oncology customer accounts, LabCorp.

In the transaction that closed in September 2025, revenue from our retained business declined approximately $1.7 million versus the prior year, We will now turn the call over to management for the OPKO HEALTH, INC. earnings conference call. We have a final earn-out payment from the transaction, which offset operating expenses, as well as the continued efforts to rationalize our cost structure to align with our more focused geographic footprint and test offerings. Our diagnostic operating income was $4.8 million, compared to an operating loss of $18.2 million in Q2 2025. And the amortization came in at $3.9 million for the second quarter of 2026, down from $4.9 million in 2025.

As Elias mentioned, we remain focused on achieving break-even and operating profitability for this business. During the second quarter, the team executed on its overall plan, but had several operational headwinds resulting in slightly higher costs and expenses, Principally in employee benefit costs and professional fees. With continued execution, we anticipate achieving these profitability objectives in 2026.

Turning to our pharmaceutical business, revenue was $89 million in Q2 compared to $55.7 million in the prior year, with improvements across all revenue sources. Revenue from product sales increased to $42.9 million, up to $40.7 million, reflecting higher sales volumes, international operations, and foreign exchange tailwinds during the 2026 quarter, along with improved reality growth-to-net benefits, which were partially offset by the timing of delivery of certain products within our CDMO business. As we continue to focus on the profitability of Reality, the growth to net improvements we began to realize last year have resulted in meaningful cash flow from operations in 2020, while maintaining overall revenue levels. Reality contributed $8.1 million of revenue during Q2 2026, compared to $7.2 million last year.

Our Pfizer gross profit share was $6.4 million for the quarter, an increase to 2025, $6.1 million. Pfizer's progress in the global commercialization of Ingenla continues to show consistent growth while the market transitions away from daily growth hormone products. BARDA funding was $5 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to $6.5 million a year ago, reflecting the start of our clinical trial program under this collaboration, while the 2025 period included higher levels of CMC activities in our infectious disease antibody programs.

Finally, the overall increase was driven by $29.4 million in revenue recognized from Series A2 preferred shares that we received in connection with our partnership with NACOYA for the commercialization of Rialdi in the greater China market. As a result, IP and transfer of other revenue was $46.1 million in Q2 2026, compared to 2025's $15 million. Costs and expenses for our pharmaceutical business were $88.2 million, increasing from 2025 to $84.4 million, reflecting meaningful investments in our R&D programs. For R&D for Q2 2026, spending totaled $32.7 million, up from $29.8 million in the 2025 quarter, which reflects the increased levels of activities related to early-stage clinical trials. Our pharmaceutical operating income was $8.8 million in Q2 2026, compared to last year's operating loss of $28.7 million.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $18.5 million, which is slightly higher than 2025's $18.1 million. For our consolidated financial results, total revenues for Q2 2026 were $163.6 million, compared to $156.8 million in the second quarter of 2025. Consolidated operating loss for Q2 2026 was $7 million, which improved from 2025's $60 million operating loss. Our net loss for Q2 2026 was $8.4 million, or one penny per share, which improved from 2025's net loss of $148.4 million, or 19 cents per share. The 2025 period included a $91.7 million of expense related to the exchange of our convertible notes.

Looking forward to our outlook for the third quarter of 2026, we expect revenue to be $131 to $142 million, with revenue from services of $75 to $78 million, which reflects several assumptions around testing volumes and reimbursement pricing mix. We expect pharmaceutical product revenue of $40 to $44 million, and we expect IP and other revenue to be between $16 and $20 million, including Pfizer profit share of $8 to $10 million. Total costs and expenses for Q3 are expected to come in between $180 and $190 million, and with our expanding investments in R&D to come in between $34 and $38 million, which is partially offset by $5 to $7 million in BARDA and other collaboration funding.

Depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $22 million. And moving to our outlook for the full year 2026, we're adjusting our full year guidance to reflect several of the firsthand transactions and trends. For the year, we now expect an increase to our previously issued guidance, with total revenue now expected to be between $560 and $585 million. With revenue from services contributing $296 to $306 million, and pharmaceutical product revenue of $164 to $174 million, while other revenue from our partner collaboration agreements is expected to be between $100 to $105 million, including profit share from Pfizer of $34 to $37 million. We have reduced our total cost and expenses to now be in the range of $710 to $740 million, which excludes any future one-time items.

Our full-year investment in R&D is continued to expect to be between $125 to $135 million, offset by funding from BARDA of $18 to $22 million, as well as reimbursement from Regeneron under our collaboration agreement. Depreciation and the amortization expense is expected to be approximately $95 million. This concludes our prepared remarks. Operator, let's open the call for questions.

What do you need to see to justify moving into larger MASH study weight loss liver biomarkers tolerability dose frequency anything like that Thank you Let me take the second one and then Gary Nable can handle the first one about 2001 MDX 2001 Well, what we're doing really is showing that this molecule has a competitive profile to any other competitors. There are a couple of competitors out there. And so that's what we want to demonstrate in phase 1 and phase 2a, both in normal volunteers at the dose tolerance of three dose levels, and then in the phase, the subsequent phase, really study patients with match. Now, when we study those patients, we're not going to have biopsies to start with.

We're going to have a combination of factors that are known to correlate with the degree and the presence and degree of match, including fatty liver, including the biomarkers that are very typical of match at different stages, And then see what the difference will be between the entrance into the trial and the exit at 16 weeks. So that's the first step, is to validate that this molecule can be quite competitive as a once-a-week therapy for both weight loss as well as improvements in the status of MASH. I mean, determined by biomarkers, and based on that, then we will decide on whether we go to a full-fledged Phase II to prove the tolerability and efficacy of the drug.

Gary, do you want to take the 2001 question about indications and partnerships?

Yeah, I think you mean 3001 for the INVIVO CAR-T program, if I understood the question correctly. Absolutely. So for 3001, our initial thought is that we would pursue studies in autoimmune disease, and the targeting that we would be looking for would be to B cells. We would be looking to deplete normal B cells in patients who have autoimmune disease and look in a diverse range of autoimmune diseases as well. The CD19 CAR that's encoded by the mRNA in the antibody-targeted LNP would, of course, be the mechanism by which we would achieve that. And we have very convincing preclinical data, both in non-human primate models as well as in humanized mouse models, that those cells can be depleted in both the blood and in tissues.

We would hope to be doing the same in patients either late this year or early next year when we have completed production. In terms of partners, we are actively looking to partner with Big Pharma, and what we're looking for in a partnership are really someone who can help us move the product into the clinic, and patients who would benefit from the treatment. This would require, first and foremost, interest and expertise in the area of autoimmune disease.

Also, this technology is applicable to a wide range of different clinical targets, including oncology, including some antiviral applications, and a variety of inflammatory conditions. So we'll be looking to people who have expertise there, both commercially and in addition, scientifically and medically, in terms of understanding the pharmacokinetics, the dose-response relationships, and the regulatory pathways in those indications. So we are having discussions, but are at the early phases of those discussions presently.

Gary, you want to take that?

Sure, yeah. So, you know, the initial studies that were performed with MDX 2001 were really performed to demonstrate both the safety, the pharmacokinetics, and the immunogenicity. And so for the very first part of those studies, we were taking all comers, regardless of where we thought, you know, the drug might eventually be useful in the clinic. This was really mostly to get into a range where we could expect to see efficacy. At that point where we think we're starting to get efficacy, that's the point where we will switch into the specific tumor targets. To date, we've enrolled 39 patients in MDX 2001, and the data that we're looking at would lead us to think that we are getting to ranges where we're seeing biologic effects in vivo, and I think we are now thinking more actively about recruiting the kinds of patients you're talking about who have tumors that we think are more likely to respond to the immunotherapy.

There's, you know, there was a list of about 13 different malignancies that both bear PROP2 and C-MET. We, for various reasons, are starting to narrow down ones where we think it would be more likely to see a response. I think that non-small cell lung cancer would be very high on that list. We think perhaps some types of renal carcinomas would be high on that list. We think there's a possibility that other solid tumors, like, for example, ovarian, might be something worth exploring. So we will focus our next efforts on that. We also are going to be exploring, while we're testing IV administration, we will be planning to also look at subcutaneous injection, which might allow us to go to higher dose with good tolerability, which is, as you know, much more patient-friendly.

So all of those are ongoing. With regard to your question of how many more patients, you know, that's a bit hard to know because, you know, we're really at the signal-seeking stage. I think it's more likely it's going to be in the, you know, the tens, a multiple of 10, not multiples of 100. But, you know, we'll follow the data.

Sure.

Well, Gary, you're going to work today. Well, you can chime in any point, Elias. The 2003, you know, our initial, our thinking about initial indications for 2003 are really in the area of lymphoma, B-cell lymphomas. And in large measure, it's because that's an indication where, you know, there is clinical proof of concept. What we bring to the table with our new molecule is that in addition to the CD19, or actually in addition to the CD20 that is in successful products like glofitimab, for example, we also can include CD19 so that the problem of immune escape, which is seen quite frequently with those molecules, can be addressed in ours. And so we think that we're following a path that is significantly de-risked by prior clinical data.

And we will move as quickly as we can through the dose escalation, initially intravenously, and then I think, as Elias mentioned, also through the subcutaneous routes to follow on. And that will be our first priority. With regard to your question about autoimmunity, we remain quite interested in it, and I think there will probably be a phasing because the initial safety data that we get from the oncology studies will help us find a dose that is safe and likely to be effective in autoimmune disease. We're also leaving the door open to the possibility of maybe using another form of the molecule, one for oncology, one for autoimmunity, but that still builds on the basic premise. So short answer to your question is oncology first, autoimmune disease second, and getting to obviously a therapeutic dose in as rapid a time as we can without compromising patient safety.

Let me take that one. So no, we're definitely looking at F2, F3 to start. As determined by a composite biomarker panel, which has been validated that people are using more and more, and informed by that, then we will decide whether we go F3, F4, which is where the most unmet need is, and or F2, F3, F4, or pre-scirrhosis.

So that's the thinking, but right now we need to get the fundamental information about the behavior of this molecule in both normal volunteers and MASH patients of the categories F2, F3, more favoring F3. But as you know, the recruitment of these studies can be challenged because there's a tremendous amount of studies going on. And so we will focus on F2 F3 which is easier to enroll Maybe just one more follow on the same molecule which is that over longer terms would you consider AA006 as a monotherapy or do you think that could be used as a combination with some other approach to drug That's a great question, and it goes back to the philosophy, the scientific basis of why we picked JLP1 glucagon.

Now, you know that in the current situation, we know that there is Madrigal, and the thyroid hormone beta receptor approach, and then there is the three products, FGF21, the three companies that have launched that product and have been acquired. So we know that FGF21 is definitely a validated target, but the beauty of GLP-1 glucagon is that glucagon is upstream of FGF21. And we've shown that when we use our molecule, there is an over an increase in levels of FGF21 triggered by glucagon, in addition to the effects that glucagon itself has. So we think there is a synergy, but it's a synergy within the molecule, not a synergy by combining the two drugs. So we think that's one of the scientific reasons why we are going forward with this trial, because we believe that we will see in the biomarkers that, in fact, there is a sort of synergistic action, and we will measure that.

We will measure the levels of FGF21 before and after treatment so that we can actually demonstrate that there is a synergistic effect between the FGF21 pathway and the glucagon pathway, which are known to interact with each other. And we have demonstrated in the preclinical studies that indeed our drug compared to other drugs of the GLP-1 glucagon class seems to have a significant effect on the FGF21 pathway. I hope that helps.

Hey, Mike. It's Adam. I'll try.

Go ahead, Adam. No, no, I was going to ask you to take it.

All right, great. So, 4K, we're still pending some of the confirmations from Medicare before we were to actively pursue some of those broader market opportunities. Reimbursement, broadly speaking, continues to go well. There's opportunities for improvement, but we think until we hear definitively on the CMS approvals for changing the Medicare requirements, We're going to be cautious in the primary care space. But we think there remains large opportunity. We think it's double-digit growth opportunities from a volume and reimbursement perspective, so it should be a significant tailwind once that comes through. At this stage, it has not, so we would expect probably to be more of a 2027 and beyond impact.

It is coming out of the diagnostics. They're mostly tied to the earn-out payment that we received from LabCorp on the second closing that happened back in May. So beyond that, we've got some modest decreases coming, but the majority of that came from the gain offset that came through.

Let me also say, in addition, we focused our efforts at increasing productivity on multiple vectors. One is the reduction in headcounts. We're right now at 1,400, correct me if I'm wrong, Adam, but in the low 1,400s, which we started, you know, if you go back two years, we were at 3,300. And that relates to both efforts in efficiencies, as well as the divestment of the outside of New York, New Jersey business and the oncology business. So that's one. The second is really operationally, when you look at the test-by-test analysis, what we found is that we can reduce our costs by not doing some of the esoteric tests that are expensive and not in high demand, and we basically partner that with significant partners who can do that at lower costs than we do.

So that's the second one. And then the footprint. We've really looked at our patient service centers, and we've relocated some of them, closed some of them. So we're reorganizing our footprint in the New Jersey and New York area. And then we have also looked at using our resources in a more efficient way. For example, looking at clinical trials. And we are now participating as a lab for clinical trial entities, CROs, that do phase one trials right now. But also, we've also been partners with entities that really look at samples, and so we've monetized, if you will, our ability to truly use what we call our leftover samples for purposes that relate to many demands by pharma companies and CRO companies for analyzing large-scale population data.

So those are the sort of vectors we're using, in addition to the operational efficiencies that you gain by locating and re-look at your patient center configuration, which reduces, as a consequence, your logistical costs.

No problem. I think the Ingenla performance for the first half of the year was within exactly where we got it, and I think the full-year guide hold remains. And you'll remember that each year the gross profit share resets on January 1st, and as the year progresses, the percentages and the amounts go up depending on the share of Ingenla compared to genotropin as well as the growth of the overall franchise. So the cyclical nature of that does weigh quite happily on the second half of each year. But we're quite pleased with the progress that Pfizer's made and feel like the gross profit share is precisely on track to the first half guide, and we expect the full year to come in within that $34 to $37 million guide.

So I think there's a couple of the things that drove the, I think it was about a $4 million drop on the top end and a $6 million drop on the top end of the revenue guide. And that's primarily coming from some of the lines of business that Elias mentioned are taking a little longer to mature. They're still deeply in the pipeline, and that slight adjustment down when we looked at the first half of the year and the mix that was coming through on the core business saw that that was – the mix was overall coming in strong, But some of those new revenue verticals were taking more time to come through than not. They're not significant revenue drivers in 2026, but they did have the primary driver to come down.

4K is also slightly behind our expectations, as we had expected some positive movement on the Novotov decision that hasn't come true yet either. But overall, those are the drivers behind the guide. I will say on the pharmaceutical product revenue, we did take that guide up. That business continues to perform well. Rialdi is ahead of our expectations as we stand now, and our operations in Spain, Mexico, and Chile remain quite strong and have expectations for improvement within our CVMO business in Ireland. So those are the main drivers behind the movements in the guide, both in the diagnostics business but also our pharmaceutical business.

Now, good question. The answer is yes. I mean, this is what we're aiming for. You know, these anti-growth hormone are given daily with injections. This one will be once a week. And definitely, in terms of comparing results, based on the data we have, it is more efficacious. So we believe that based on the data we presented, plus the fact that it's once a week, and really the demand is there. It's a significant demand in terms of finding more convenient ways of treating these patients with less safety issues. I think it's a product that I have a lot of hope for.

Thanks for your questions, and above all, thanks for your interest in OPKO. We look forward to speaking with you again at the end of the third quarter, and I'll leave you with have a good evening.
