  1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments that are necessary to fairly present the statements of financial position, operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any other future annual or interim period.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted from these condensed consolidated financial statements, as permitted by rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company believes the disclosures made in these condensed consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information herein not misleading. The Company recommends that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with its audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements. There have been no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies since the date of those financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are stated in U.S. dollars and are prepared under U.S. GAAP. These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The financial statements of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries are recorded in their functional currency and translated into the reporting currency. The cumulative effect of changes in exchange rates between the foreign entity’s functional currency and the reporting currency is reported in Accumulated other comprehensive lossin the condensed consolidated balance sheet. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2023 has been derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

Liquidity

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately$436.0 million. The Company used cash in operating activities of approximately$43.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The cost to further develop and obtain regulatory approval for any drug is substantial and, as noted below, the Company may have to take certain steps to maintain a positive cash position. Although the Company has sufficient capital to fund many of its planned activities, it may need to continue to raise additional capital to further fund the development of, and seek regulatory approvals for, its product candidate and begin to commercialize any approved product.

The Company is currently focused on the development of molgramostim for the treatment of aPAP and believes such activities will result in the continued incurrence of significant research and development and other expenses related to this program. If the Company’s product candidate does not gain regulatory approval or, if approved, fails to achieve market acceptance, the Company may never become profitable. Even if the Company achieves profitability in the future, it may not be able to sustain profitability in subsequent periods. The Company intends to cover its future operating expenses through cash and cash equivalents on hand, short-term investments, and through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, government or other third-party funding, and other collaborations and strategic alliances with partner companies. The Company cannot be sure that additional financing will be available when needed or that, if available, financing will be obtained on terms favorable to the Company or its stockholders.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents of$23.9 million and short-term investments of$97.7 million as of June 30, 2024 are sufficient to fund the Company’s operations for at least the next twelve months subsequent to the issuance date of these condensed consolidated financial statementsand excludes a registered direct offering completed on July 1, 2024 (the “July 2024 Offering”) that resulted in gross proceeds of approximately $100.0 million, refer to Note 12. Subsequent Events. The Company may continue to raise additional capital as needed through the issuance of additional equity securities and potentially through borrowings and strategic alliances with partner companies. However, if such additional financing is not available timely and at adequate levels, the Company will need to reevaluate its long-term operating plans. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

In order to mitigate risks associated with our banking deposits, the Company maintains a significant portion of its liquidity in U.S. Treasury money market funds and other short-term investments with custodial services provided by U.S. Bank, N.A., refer to Note 5. Short-term Investments and Note 7. Fair Value Measurements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management’s estimates include, but are not limited to, those related to the accrual and prepayment of research and development expenses and general and administrative costs, certain financial instruments recorded at fair value, stock-based compensation, and the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, changes in circumstance and facts, and on various other market-specific and relevant assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results could be materially different from those estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties

The product candidate being developed by the Company requires approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or foreign regulatory agencies prior to commercial sales. There can be no assurance that the Company’s product candidate will receive the necessary approvals. If the Company is denied regulatory approval of its product candidate, or if approval is delayed, it will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, results of operations, and its financial position.

The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to other life science companies, including, but not limited to, risks related to the successful discovery and development of drug candidates, raising additional capital, development of competing drugs and therapies, protection of proprietary technology, and market acceptance of the Company’s product. As a result of these and other factors and the related uncertainties, there can be no assurance of the Company’s future success.

Concentration of Credit Risk

We are subject to credit risk from our portfolio of cash equivalents and marketable securities. These investments were made in accordance with our investment policy which specifies the categories, allocations, and ratings of securities we may consider for investment. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing the income we receive without significantly increasing risk. We maintain our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities with a limited number of financial institutions. Deposits held with the financial institutions exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. We are exposed to credit risk in the event of a default by the financial institutions holding our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities to the extent recorded on the consolidated balance sheets.

Segment Reporting

Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company's chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer. We haveone operating segment, specialty pharmaceuticals within the respiratory system.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There are no recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, or the SEC that are believed by the Company's management to have a material effect, if any, on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

There wereno significant realized gains or losses related to investments for thesix months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

  1. Long-term Debt

On April 21, 2022, the Company and its subsidiary, Aravas Inc. (“Aravas”) entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amended Loan Agreement”), as co-borrowers, and Silicon Valley Bank, a division of First Citizens BancShares, as lender (the “Lender”) which provides for a $26.5 million term loan facility.

Pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement, the loan has an interest-only monthly payment through April 21, 2026 (the “Interest-Only Period”) and thereafter equal monthly installments of principal plus interest over 12 months until April 21, 2027 (the “Maturity Date”). However, the Company may elect to extend the Interest-Only Period until the Maturity Date if it maintains cash and cash equivalents equal to at least 1.75 times the outstanding principal amount of the loan during the fifth year. If the Interest-Only Period is extended, all principal and unpaid interest is due and payable on the Maturity Date.

The loan bears interest at a floating rate equal to the greater of (i)3% and (ii) the prime rate reported in The Wall Street Journal, minus a spread of 0.5%. The Company is obligated to pay customary closing fees and a final payment of 2.75% of the principal amount advanced under the facility. The Company may currently prepay the loan in whole or in part at any time without penalty or prepayment fee.

The Lender was granted a perfected first priority lien in all of the Company's assets with a negative pledge on intellectual property. The Amended Loan Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including among others, covenants that limit the Company's and its subsidiaries’ ability to dispose of assets, permit a change in control, merge or consolidate, make acquisitions, incur indebtedness, grant liens, make investments, make certain restricted payments, and enter into transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to certain exceptions.

Additionally, the Amended Loan Agreement contains an affirmative covenant providing that if the Company’s balance of cash and cash equivalents falls below $40.0 million, the Company is required to maintain cash and cash equivalents equal to at least (i) six months of operating expenses and (ii) 1.2 times the outstanding principal amount of the loan (or 1.75 in the final year of the loan if the Interest-Only Period is extended).

Approximately $0.1 million of fees paid to the Lender were capitalized and will be amortized over the term of the Amended Loan Agreement. Expenses paid to third parties associated with the Amended Loan Agreement were immediately expensed and recorded in the Interest income (expense) line item in our consolidated statement of operations.

  1. Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures and reports certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis and evaluates its financial instruments subject to fair value measurements on a recurring and nonrecurring basis to determine the appropriate level in which to classify them in each reporting period.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. These assets and liabilities can include acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) and other long-lived assets that are written down to fair value if they are impaired.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company experienced a decrease of approximately$0.3 million and an increase of approximately$0.1 million, respectively, in the carrying value of IPR&D due to foreign currency translation.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company determined that certain investments in debt securities classified as available-for-sale securities were Level 1 financial instruments.

Additional investments in corporate debt securities, commercial paper, and asset-backed securities are considered Level 2 financial instruments because the Company has access to quoted prices but does not have visibility to the volume and frequency of trading for all of these investments. For the Company’s investments, a market approach is used for recurring fair value measurements and the valuation techniques use inputs that are observable, or can be corroborated by observable data, in an active marketplace.

The fair value of these instruments as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was as follows (in thousands):

The Company didnot transfer any assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis to or from Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 during thesix months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

  1. Stockholders’ Equity

Registered Direct Offering of Common Stock

On July 17, 2023, the Company sold (i) an aggregate of 21,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) for $3.00 per share which represented a 1% premium over the closing price on that date and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,666,667 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share (the “2023 Pre-Funded Warrants”) for $2.999 per warrant pursuant to a registered direct offering (the “July 2023 Offering”).

The Company determined that the securities issued in the July 2023 Offering were free-standing and that the 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants meet the equity classification requirements pursuant to ASC 480, Distinguishing Liability from Equity, ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging and Subtopic 815-40, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants were sold at the same price as the underlying common stock, less $0.001 (which represents the exercise price of the warrants).

The July 2023 Offering resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $74.9 million, after deducting final underwriting discounts, commissions, and other estimated offering expenses, as follows (in thousands):

Financial instrumentsProceeds
Common stock$63,000
2023 Pre-funded warrants16,994
Total79,994
Offering expenses$(5,120)
Net proceeds$74,874

The Company has used and intends to continue to use the net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes, which include, but are not limited to, the funding of clinical development of and pursuing regulatory approval for molgramostim, investing in our commercialization infrastructure, commercial launch preparation activities in the United States, initiating pre-commercial work in Europe, and administrative expenses.

Prospectively, the Shares will be offered and sold pursuant to the 2024 Registration Statement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, Evercore will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Shares from time to time, based upon the Company’s instructions. The Company has provided Evercore with customary indemnification rights, and Evercore will be entitled to a commission at a fixed commission rate equal to 3% of the gross proceeds per Share sold. Sales of the Shares, if any, under the Sales Agreement may be made in transactions that are deemed to be “at the market offerings” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Shares and may at any time suspend sales under the Sales Agreement or terminate the Sales Agreement.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company didnot sell any shares of common stock under the Sales Agreement.

  1. Commitments and Contingencies

Manufacturing and Other Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is subject to various royalties and manufacturing and development payments related to its product candidate, molgramostim. Under a manufacture and supply agreement with an active pharmaceutical ingredients (“API”) manufacturer for molgramostim, as amended on December 7, 2022 and December 13, 2023, the Company must make certain payments to the API manufacturer upon achievement of the milestones outlined in the table set forth below. Additionally, upon first receipt of marketing approval by the Company from a regulatory authority in a country for a product containing the API for therapeutic use in humans and ending the earlier of (i) ten (10) years thereafter or (ii) the date a biosimilar of such product is first sold in such country, the Company shall pay the API manufacturer a royalty equal to low-single digits of the net sales in that country.

Additionally, the Company is subject to a purchase requirement under which for ten years following the date of receipt of approval by a regulatory authority of the first regulatory filing for the marketing and sale of the first molgramostim product in any country, each year, the Company will purchase from the API manufacturer the API required to produce a percentage of such molgramostim product it sells (the “Purchase Requirement”); provided, however, that the Purchase Requirement will no longer apply if (i) the price charged by the API manufacturer exceeds a certain price charged by an alternative supplier, (ii) there is a shortage of supply, or (iii) API manufacturer at any time fails to materially fulfill a purchase order of the Company.

The Company is also subject to certain contingent milestone payments, disclosed in the following table, payable to the manufacturer of the nebulizer used to administer molgramostim. In addition to these milestones, the Company will owe a royalty of three-and one-half percent (3.5%) to the manufacturer of the nebulizer based on net sales.

The following table summarizes manufacturing commitments and contingencies as of the period indicated (in thousands):

Molgramostim manufacturer:
Achievement of certain milestones related to validation of API and regulatory approval of molgramostim$1,300
Molgramostim nebulizer manufacturer:
Achievement of various development activities and regulatory approval of nebulizer utilized to administer molgramostim536
Total manufacturing and other commitments and contingencies$1,836

The milestone commitments disclosed above reflect the activities that have (i) not been met or incurred; (ii) not been remunerated; and (iii) not accrued, as the activities are not deemed probable or reasonably estimable, as of June 30, 2024.

Further, in February 2024, the Company entered into a master services agreement with an additional manufacturer to provide development and manufacturing services related to API for the Company’s molgramostim product candidate in accordance with the terms of separate scope of work agreements to be entered into by the parties and to perform a manufacturing campaign for process performance qualification of the API of molgramostim. Under that master services agreement, work orders and subsequent change orders, the Company is currently obligated to pay the second source manufacturer, in total, estimated fees of$20.0 million. These costs are subject to various cancellation fees ranging from ten percent (10%) to one hundred percent (100%) of the cost of the respective activity based upon the timing of the commencement date and status of the activity.

Contract Research

As part of its development of molgramostim for the treatment of aPAP, the Company entered into a Master Services Agreement (“MSA”) with Parexel International (IRL) Limited (“Parexel”) pursuant to which Parexel will provide contract research services related to clinical trials. Contemporaneously with entering the MSA, a work order was executed with Parexel, under which they will provide services related to the IMPALA-2 trial. Under that work order and subsequent change orders, the Company will pay Parexel service fees, pass-through expenses, and investigator fees estimated to be approximately$42.5 million over the course of the IMPALA-2 clinical trial and trial close-out activities.

In the second quarter of 2024, the Company initiated an open-label, multicenter clinical trial of inhaled molgramostim in pediatric subjects with aPAP ("Pediatric Study") under a separate work order with Parexel. Pursuant to the Pediatric Study, Parexel has the opportunity to earn up to approximately$3.6 million in various milestone payments primarily dependent upon patient enrollment, site management, project oversight and the compliance with defined study protocols.

Risk Management

The Company maintains various forms of insurance that the Company's management believes are adequate to reduce the exposure to certain risks associated with operating the Company’s business to an acceptable level.

  1. Stock-Based Compensation

Equity Incentive Plans

The Company’s 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”) was adopted by the Company’s board of directors in March 2024, was approved by the Company’s stockholders on June 6, 2024, and became effective on June 7, 2024. The 2024 Plan was intended to replace the Company’s Amended and Restated 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), and upon the effectiveness of the 2024 Plan, no further grants may be made under the 2015 Plan. All outstanding awards under the 2015 Plan will continue in accordance with the 2015 Plan and any award agreement executed in connection with such outstanding awards. The 2024 Plan provides for the grant of stock options (both incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance units, shares, and other stock-based awards. Stock-based awards are subject to terms and conditions established by the board of directors or the compensation committee of the board of directors.

The Company’s 2021 Inducement Equity Incentive Plan (the “Inducement Plan”) was adopted by the Company’s board of directors in May 2021 and subsequently amended to increase the shares available for grant. The Inducement Plan provides for the grant of non-statutory stock options, restricted stock, RSUs, stock appreciation rights, performance units, and performance shares. Each award under the Inducement Plan is intended to qualify as an employment inducement grant in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4). As of June 30, 2024, the number of shares of common stock available for grant under the Inducement Plan was 486,217 shares.

The Savara Inc. Stock Option Plan (the “2008 Plan”) was adopted in 2008, and the Companyno longer issues awards under the 2008 Plan.
