- From profit to four straight losses. Vir Biotechnology lost money every year from 2017 to 2020: $0.7 billion in all. 2021 was its first profit in five years: $0.5 billion.
- It outgrew its own economy many times over. Revenue rose from $0 billion in 2017 to $0.1 billion in 2025: 25.3 times as much. The US economy, counted the same way in money terms, grew about 53%. Whatever drove it, the economy around it does not account for growth of that size.
- It wasn't the cycle. The losses began in 2017, a year the US economy grew 2.5% and factories added jobs. When a company falls while its economy grows, look inside the company first.
- Still smaller than it was. Revenue reached $0.1 billion in 2025, 96% below its 2022 peak of $1.6 billion.
