Nkarta Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results and Corporate Highlights

• Enrollment continues across all indications in Ntrust-1 and Ntrust-2 at the 4 billion cell dose level (12 billion cells in 3-dose cycle)

• Initial clinical data from Ntrust-1 and Ntrust-2 expected to be presented at a medical conference in 2026

• Cash balance of $243.2 million on June 30, 2026, including cash, cash equivalents and investments, expected to fund operations into 2029

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., August 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nkarta, Inc. (Nasdaq: NKTX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing engineered natural killer (NK) cell therapies to treat autoimmune diseases, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

“Expanding access to NKX019 in the communities where autoimmune patients already receive care is central to how we're advancing this program," said Paul J. Hastings, Chief Executive Officer of Nkarta. "This quarter, we continued to enroll patients across all indications in Ntrust-1 and Ntrust-2 at the 4 billion cell dose level. Following our recent agreement with the FDA on outpatient dosing, we have begun administrating NKX019 through our expanding network of community-based sites, with re-dosing available, if needed, to patients in both trials. We look forward to presenting our initial clinical dataset from Ntrust-1 and Ntrust-2 at a medical conference in 2026.”

NKX019 Clinical Program Progress and Upcoming Milestones

• Enrollment continues across Ntrust-1 and Ntrust-2, our multi-center, open-label, dose-escalation clinical trials evaluating NKX019 in multiple autoimmune diseases.

• Outpatient dosing is underway within our network of community-based sites, broadening patient access beyond those who can travel to academic medical centers.

• Patients are being dosed at 4 billion cells per dose x 3 doses (12 billion cells total) across all indications in Ntrust-1 and Ntrust-2.

• Initial clinical data from Ntrust-1 and Ntrust-2 are planned for presentation at a medical conference in 2026.

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights

• Nkarta had cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investments in marketable securities of $243.2 million as of June 30, 2026.

• Research and development (R&D) expenses were $29.0 million for the second quarter of 2026. Non-cash stock-based compensation expense included in R&D expense was $0.7 million for the second quarter of 2026.

• General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $14.1 million for the second quarter of 2026. Non-cash stock-based compensation expense included in G&A expense was $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2026.

• Net loss was $40.4 million, or $0.54 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2026. This net loss includes non-cash charges of $11.8 million that consisted primarily of share-based compensation of $1.9 million, depreciation of $2.7 million, and impairment of right-of-use assets, leasehold improvements and other equipment of $8.0 million.

Financial Guidance

• Nkarta expects its current cash and cash equivalents to fund its current operating plan into 2029.

About the Ntrust℠ Clinical Trials in Autoimmune Disease

Ntrust-1 (NCT06557265) and Ntrust-2 (NCT06733935) are multi-center, open label, dose escalation clinical trials in patients with autoimmune disease receiving lymphodepletion followed by CD19-targeted CAR-NK cell therapy. Both trials will assess the safety of NKX019 in people living with autoimmune diseases as well as its potential to achieve durable remission via a “reset” of the immune system through the elimination of pathogenic B cells.

The Ntrust trials are enrolling up to 12 patients per dose level per disease indication across systemic sclerosis, idiopathic inflammatory myopathy, ANCA-associated vasculitis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus nephritis, and primary membranous nephropathy. Additional participants may be enrolled if needed to refine patient populations for further study.

In both studies, patients now receive a three-dose cycle of NKX019 on Days 0, 3, and 7 following lymphodepletion with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide or cyclophosphamide alone, if they have significant cytopenia at baseline. Leveraging the engineering of NKX019, no patients in either trial will receive supplemental cytokines or antibody-based therapeutics. This approach is designed to evaluate the single-agent activity of NKX019 and facilitate a more rapid path to regulatory approval. Patients in both trials may also receive additional cycles, if needed, to restore response or enable a deeper response.

About NKX019

NKX019 is an allogeneic, cryopreserved, off-the-shelf immunotherapy candidate that uses natural killer (NK) cells derived from the peripheral blood of healthy adult donors. It is engineered with a humanized CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) for enhanced cell targeting and a proprietary, membra

IRB approval of our protocol amendments has been secured across multiple sites, with additional approvals underway. These advancements will enable us to expand patient access beyond urban hubs and major academic centers by engaging community research centers and local rheumatology practices in the neighborhoods where most patients live. We look forward to providing our initial dataset in 2026.”

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On March 26, 2025, Nkarta, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the Company’s financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2024. A copy of the Company’s press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (including Exhibit 99.1) shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be, or be deemed, incorporated by reference in any filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), unless the Company specifically states that the information is to be considered “filed” under the Exchange Act or incorporates it by reference into a filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On March 26, 2025, the Company initiated a reduction in force (the “Reduction”) that is expected to result in a reduction of approximately 34% of the Company’s workforce, or 53 positions. The Company has previously announced the deprioritization of further development of NKX101, as well as NKX019 for non-Hodgkin lymphoma, in order to direct primary resources to the development of NKX019 for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. The Company undertook the Reduction to decrease its costs and create a more streamlined organization to enable achievement of clinical milestones for NKX019, including clinical data updates expected during the second half of 2025, as described further below, and to preserve the Company’s cash reserves following the realization of these milestones. The cost reductions realized from the Reduction are expected to extend the Company’s cash runway into 2029.

In connection with the implementation of the Reduction, the Company currently estimates it will incur approximately $5.5 million to $6.5 million in expenses, consisting primarily of cash severance costs, benefits, payroll taxes and other termination costs for impacted employees, which the Company expects to primarily recognize in the first quarter of 2025. The Company expects to substantially complete the Reduction by the end of 2025.

The estimates of costs and expenses that the Company expects to incur in connection with the Reduction are subject to a number of assumptions and actual results may differ materially. The Company may also incur additional costs not currently contemplated due to events that may occur as a result of, or that are associated with, the Reduction.

(the “Company”) announced that, based upon preliminary estimates and information available to the Company, it expects to report that it had cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments of approximately $278.4 million as of September 30, 2023. A copy of the Company’s press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The preliminary financial information presented above is not a comprehensive statement of the Company’s financial position, and is subject to change following the completion of the Company’s financial closing procedures. Complete results will be included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On October 16, 2023, the Company committed to a reduction in force (the “Reduction”) that is expected to result in a reduction of 18 positions, representing approximately 10% of the Company’s workforce. The Company undertook the Reduction to decrease its costs and create a more streamlined organization to support its operations through multiple clinical data updates expected in 2024. The Reduction, together with other cost containment measures, is expected to extend the Company’s cash runway by one year into 2026.

In connection with the implementation of the Reduction, the Company currently estimates it will incur approximately $1 million to $1.5 million in costs, consisting primarily of cash severance costs and transition support services for impacted employees, which the Company expects to recognize in the fourth quarter of 2023. The Company expects to substantially complete the Reduction by the end of 2023.

The estimates of costs and expenses that the Company expects to incur in connection with the Reduction are subject to a number of assumptions and actual results may differ materially. The Company may also incur additional costs not currently contemplated due to events that may occur as a result of, or that are associated with, the Reduction.

Item. 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On October 17, 2023, the Company issued a press release announcing clearance of an Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to evaluate NKX019 for the treatment of lupus nephritis (“LN”) and other corporate updates, which is discussed in more detail in Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

Also on October 17, 2023 and as previously disclosed, the Company hosted a conference call to discuss its clinical programs and other corporate updates.

The information in Items 2.02 and 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (including Exhibit 99.1) shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Se

Our machine learning models analyze historical earnings data, pre-earnings price patterns, volume changes, and volatility to predict 1-day, 5-day, and 20-day returns after each earnings release.

Earnings transcripts are sourced directly from SEC EDGAR filings. Predictions are generated using gradient boosting models trained on NKTX's historical earnings reactions. All predicted returns are shown as percentages, and predicted prices are calculated from the closing price at the time of prediction. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
