Our royalty product portfolio has demonstrated resilience and growth; we remain excited about its long - term potential while we build out the next generation of high impact products Sizeable and differentiated Resilient and durable Diversified and growing • Differentiated respiratory therapies portfolio with over $3B annual sales • Consensus projections imply royalties of $2B+ over the next 5 years 1 • Robust products have performed well across environments despite competitive pressures • Meaningful longevity afforded by strong IP estate, with the “moat” amplified by manufacturing complexity • Broad portfolio covers all major respiratory drug classes in easy - to - use single daily dose form • Portfolio contains products across the life cycle, including relatively mature standard of care therapies (Breo / Relvar, Anoro) and fast - growing innovative products (Trelegy) • Products approved and launching in multiple geographies and indications , reducing single - market risk 1 – Projections per analyst consensus on GSK forecast website accessed Nov 26, 2021; GBP converted to USD using Nov 26 exchange rate of $1.33; 100% Trelegy royalties included; 2021 - 2025E 5 Royalty portfolio

 

 

Innoviva actively deploys its capital to maximize shareholder value Over the past twelve months we strategically repurchased GSK’s equity stake for ~$400M and deployed $300M+ into high - potential assets – with $500M+ equity and investments currently on the balance sheet Continued active search for strategically appealing opportunities with external support • Long - term, deliberate approach to direct strategic investments into promising healthcare assets, matching the meaningful duration of our cashflows Concentrated exposure to fundamentally robust, attractively priced assets with significant upside Potential capital return to shareholders as appropriate , especially when strong economic value accretion is coupled with compelling strategic benefits • E.g., GSK’s 32% equity stake repurchase in May 2021 at $12.25 per share for $392M We thoughtfully approach capital deployment with a strong value focus 6 Note: $507M equity and long - term investments assets on balance sheet as of September 30, 2021 Capital deployment

 

 

Strategic transactions detail: we approach deals in a thoughtful and disciplined manner We target fundamentally attractive , yet often overlooked or contrarian , healthcare areas where our capital and capabilities can make a difference We look for differentiated assets with meaningful value creation potential We structure and negotiate asset acquisitions on mutually beneficial terms to maximize long - term value • Focus on concentrated, long - term investments, often by purchasing majority or other large stakes • Openness to smaller investments in companies with compelling growth and risk profiles We proactively manage risks through ongoing asset stewardship and appropriate diversification • Operational and strategic support (across strategy, finance, development, commercial, governance, and other areas) as a key value creation driver Opportunity identification Strategic investment execution 7 Capital deployment

 

 

Strategic investment case study: infectious disease Infectious disease therapeutics have focused primarily on common bacteria diseases; however, there is a clear need for improved therapeutics for specific bacterial diseases, along with viral and fungal diseases Infectious disease has recently fallen out of favor due to idiosyncratic challenges, and historical underinvestment exacerbated development and commercial challenges, creating a “vicious cycle” A player with long - term vision, capital, and expertise can take advantage of market dislocations and facilitate R&D and commercialization of novel, differentiated treatments capable of generating significant value for patients and health systems – and producing strong returns Infectious disease is a promising area of high unmet medical need with currently scarce capital access Sample Innoviva transactions Pathogen - specific bacteriophage therapeutics platform for the treatment of drug resistant infections and other uses • Highly differentiated novel biologic platform with broad applicability, rooted in a well - known modality and supported by strong manufacturing capabilities • Broad development program with lead therapy focused on respiratory Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in cystic fibrosis patients, an area of high unmet need Novel antibacterial platform validated by lead asset’s highly differentiated profile in an area of unmet need • Novel potential carbapenem - resistant Acinetobacter treatment SUL - DUR has significant commercial promise following favorable efficacy and safety in pivotal trial • Ongoing Phase 3 trial for gonorrhea antibiotic • “Rational design” platform used to develop earlier stage antibiotics less susceptible to resistance $68M cost basis ~60% ownership $45M cost basis ~60% ownership $166M fair value 1 $89M fair value 1 1 – Investment fair value as of September 30, 2021 8 Capital deployment

TRC additional information • While TRC actively manages its royalty - producing relationship with GSK, under the LLC Agreement TRC is permitted to “engage in any lawful business”; additionally, Innoviva was granted broad “decision - making authority as to the LLC” • There have been two separate arbitrations brought by Theravance Biopharma against Innoviva and TRC over the last two years challenging the scope of Innoviva’s authority as Manager of TRC to deploy capital rather than simply distribute royalty income • The arbitrator ruled in favor of Innoviva and TRC in both arbitrations. The arbitrator has confirmed that the LLC Agreement broadly empowers the LLC to engage in any lawful business and that Innoviva has the “discretion” and “freedom” under the LLC Agreement to determine how to use the LLC’s cash, including in investments unrelated to Trelegy. The arbitrator did not enjoin TRC from making additional investments • Each of the arbitrator’s decisions is publicly available Arbitration background Example investments InCarda focuses on cardiovascular diseases; its lead drug is in late stage development for large, attractive PAF 1 market ImaginAb is a leader in radio - pharmaceutical imaging with a differentiated solution for IO 2 patient care and other areas of unmet medical need 17 1 – Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation 2 – Immuno - oncology Capital deployment
