Segment lines are the figures writers cite most often, because they show where the growth in a quarter came from. Companies redraw their segments from time to time and restate the prior year to match, so a year-ago figure here can differ from the one printed a year ago. When that has happened, the note above says so.
Zai Lab Limited's outlook for 2027
From the earnings release

What Zai Lab Limited's revenue is made of
Zai Lab's total revenues were $108.2 million in Q3 2026, against $116.1 million a year earlier. Net product revenue from its commercial medicines was $107.6 million, down 7% as reported and 11% at constant exchange rates, and collaboration revenue was $0.6 million. Zai Lab said net product revenue rose 2% from Q2 2026. (Zai Lab Q3 2026 release, Nov 5, 2026; Zai Lab Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 5, 2026)
ZEJULA was Zai Lab's largest product at $32.3 million, down from $42.4 million, which Zai Lab put down to a shift in hospital utilization after volume-based procurement for generic olaparib. VYVGART and VYVGART Hytrulo brought in $24.1 million, down from $27.7 million, mainly because of a pricing adjustment tied to NRDL renewal, and OPTUNE fell to $7.8 million from $12.7 million on evolving competition in the glioblastoma market. (Zai Lab Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 5, 2026)
Zai Lab's NUZYRA rose to $21.1 million from $15.4 million on increased market coverage and penetration, and XACDURO to $8.4 million from $6.4 million on patient demand and hospital adoption, though supply limitations constrained it. KarXT, launched in June 2026, added $2.0 million. QINLOCK was $8.8 million and AUGTYRO $2.8 million. (Zai Lab Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 5, 2026)
Zai Lab offers sales rebates to distributors in mainland China and records them as a reduction of product revenue. Gross product revenue was $115.8 million in Q3 2026, and rebates and sales returns took off $8.1 million. (Zai Lab Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 5, 2026)
What Zai Lab Limited's EPS includes
Zai Lab's net loss was $46.1 million in Q3 2026, or $0.41 per American Depositary Share (ADS) and $0.04 per ordinary share, against $36.0 million, or $0.33 per ADS, a year earlier. Cost of product revenue rose to $51.3 million from $46.8 million on product mix and inventory write-downs, which were $7.5 million in the quarter and $13.6 million over the first nine months, mainly related to VYVGART Hytrulo. (Zai Lab Q3 2026 release, Nov 5, 2026; Zai Lab Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 5, 2026)
Zai Lab's loss from operations was $63.0 million. Its adjusted loss from operations, which excludes depreciation and amortization ($4.4 million) and share-based compensation ($11.0 million), was $47.6 million, against $28.0 million a year earlier. R&D expense was $49.8 million and SG&A $70.1 million. Below the operating line, $10.5 million of foreign currency gains and $5.7 million of interest income narrowed the net loss. (Zai Lab Q3 2026 release, Nov 5, 2026)
Zai Lab's weighted-average ordinary share count was 1,123,397,940, against 1,102,072,680. Cash, cash equivalents, current restricted cash and short-term investments were $659.7 million at September 30, 2026, down from $717.5 million at June 30, 2026. On October 27, 2026, after the quarter, Zai Lab closed a private placement of 11,340,000 ADSs at $22.04 each for gross proceeds of about $250.0 million. (Zai Lab Q3 2026 release, Nov 5, 2026)
Diluted EPS divides net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the quarter, plus the shares that options and other equity awards could add. Buybacks shrink that count and lift EPS for the same profit; share issuance and stock awards enlarge it.
Consensus and guidance at Zai Lab Limited
Zai Lab gives no numeric revenue or earnings guidance in its release. Its CEO said she expects the China business to return to growth in 2027, the year Zai Lab may make its first U.S. BLA submission, for its DLL3-targeting ADC zocilurtatug pelitecan (zoci). (Zai Lab Q3 2026 release, Nov 5, 2026)
Zai Lab's stated milestones include starting a global Phase 3 study of zoci with PD-L1 inhibitors in first-line extensive-stage small cell lung cancer by year-end 2026, a potential interim analysis of the Phase 3 DLLEVATE study in the second half of 2027, and topline data from the zoci epNEC expansion cohort in the first half of 2027. (Zai Lab Q3 2026 release, Nov 5, 2026)
A consensus figure is the average of the models published by the analysts who cover Zai Lab Limited, collected by a data provider and revised up to the day of the report. A quarter that lands above it says how expectations were set as much as how the business did, and the share price on the day also reflects the guidance and the lines no consensus covers.
The consensus figures on this page are Yahoo Finance's, as pulled on the date shown. Each comes with the number of analysts behind it; the smaller that number, the more one revised estimate can move the average.

What the quarter means for a holding is a separate question from what it reported. The case for and against owning ZLAB is on is ZLAB a buy or a sell?, what analysts expect next is on the ZLAB forecast, and what the company does is on the Zai Lab Limited (ZLAB) stock page.
How to check ZLAB's figures yourself
Every number on this page can be traced to a document Zai Lab Limited published. Checking one takes a couple of minutes, and it is worth doing before you quote a figure anywhere.
- The results release is the document linked in the source line above. Companies publish it on their investor relations site at the moment results go out, and it carries the headline tables: revenue, operating income, net income and EPS for the quarter and the year-ago quarter.
- The same release is filed with the SEC as Exhibit 99.1 to a Form 8-K under Item 2.02, usually on the day of the report. The SEC copy does not change after the fact, which makes it the safer thing to link when you cite a number.
- The quarterly report (Form 10-Q) follows within a few weeks and carries the full financial statements, the segment note and management's discussion of what changed. The fourth quarter is covered by the annual report (Form 10-K) instead.
- Restated comparisons are flagged in the notes on this page. When a company redraws its segments or changes how it adjusts EPS, it restates the year-ago column, so the year-ago figure in a new release can differ from the one printed a year ago. This page always uses the comparison in the newer release, because that is the like-for-like one.
