Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of Tango and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The functional and reporting currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial information, which are of a normal and recurring nature, have been made for the interim periods reported. Results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2024, any other interim periods, or any future year or period. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared on the same basis as and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the SEC on March 18, 2024.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no significant changes from the significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, except as described below.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires that the Company make estimates, judgments and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses and related disclosures. Significant estimates and assumptions made in the consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the revenue recognized from collaboration agreements, the valuation of stock-based awards and the accrual for research and development expenses. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, judgments and methodologies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities and equity and the amount of revenues and expenses. As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require the Company to update estimates, judgments or revise the carrying value of any assets or liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported results in the period in which they become known.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense is recognized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of each asset. Estimated useful lives are periodically assessed to determine if changes are appropriate. The estimated useful lives of the Company’s property and equipment are as follows:

The Company reviews long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. If indicators of impairment are present, the assets are tested for recoverability by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to the related estimated future undiscounted cash flows that the assets are expected to generate. If the expected cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset group, then the asset group is considered to be impaired and its carrying value is written down to fair value, based on the related estimated discounted future cash flows. To date, no such impairment losses have been recorded.

Costs for assets not yet placed into service are capitalized as construction-in-progress and depreciated or amortized in accordance with the above useful lives once placed into service. Upon retirement or sale, the related cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the consolidated statements of operations. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standard setting bodies that the Company adopts as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed below, the Company does not believe that the adoption of recently issued standards have or may have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures." The standard is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis for all public entities to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analyses. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Upon adoption, the standard should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this adoption on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." The standard is intended to enhance the existing income tax disclosures to provide information to better assess how an entity’s operations and related tax risks and tax planning and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Upon adoption, the standard should be applied on a prospective basis, although retrospective application is permitted. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this adoption on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses." The standard is intended to require more detailed disclosures about specified categories of expenses (including employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization) included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments may be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or (2) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this adoption on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Collaboration Agreements

In October 2018, the Company entered into a Research Collaboration and License Agreement (the 2018 Gilead Agreement) with Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Gilead). Pursuant to the terms of the 2018 Gilead Agreement, the Company received an initial upfront payment of $50.0 million. Gilead had the option to obtain exclusive, worldwide licenses to develop and commercialize up tofive validated programs (Gilead Program License).

In August 2020, the Company and Gilead entered into an Amended Research Collaboration and License Agreement (the Gilead Agreement), which superseded and replaced the 2018 Gilead Agreement. The Gilead Agreement represents a continuation of the initial target discovery and validation research and development efforts begun under the 2018 Gilead Agreement. Under the Gilead Agreement:

•

The Company received upfront, non-refundable consideration of $125.0 million from Gilead upon execution of the Gilead Agreement in 2020;

•

The term of the 2018 Gilead Agreement ended on the date the Gilead Agreement was executed. The Gilead Agreement has a research term ofseven years;

•

Gilead expanded its option to license up to 15 programs for which Gilead may obtain exclusive, worldwide licenses to develop and commercialize therapies, subject to applicable license fees;

•

Prior to exercising its option to license a program, Gilead may “extend” such program, in which case Gilead will pay research option-extension fees and the Company will continue to collaborate with Gilead to discover and develop programs, potentially through early clinical development;

•

Gilead has the option to “reserve” a target during which Gilead may: (i) license the target, (ii) “extend” the target, or (iii) decline the target, during the designated reserve target period. If, during the reserve target period Tango elects to work on the reserved target, Tango will retain full rights to the target program and Gilead receives a right of first negotiation in connection with any future partnering or licensing of such target by Tango, if any; and

•

For up to five programs licensed by Gilead, the Company has the option to co-develop and co-promote the lead product in the U.S., subject to certain exceptions, and is eligible to receive tiered royalties in the first decile on ex-U.S. sales.

The Company is eligible to receive up to $410.0 million per program in license, research option-extension, and clinical, regulatory, and commercial milestones and royalties on future sales of commercialized products, if any.

In August 2020, Gilead also made an equity investment of $20.0 million into the Company as a participant in the Company’s Series B-1 preferred stock offering. At the time of the original investment, including as of the September 30, 2024 balance sheet date, and based on current ownership of common stock, Gilead is not considered to be a related party to the Company.

Accounting for the Gilead Collaboration

The Gilead Agreement is accounted for under ASC 606. The Company identified a single combined performance obligation under the Gilead Agreement consisting of the research services and continued participation on the joint steering committee during the research term. For research option-extension fees, the Company determined that the additional goods and services relating to the continued research services were not distinct from the early-stage research services already promised to Gilead under the on-going research plan. Consideration pertaining to each of the research option-extensions is paid to the Company in equal quarterly installment payments over an agreed upon payment schedule. The research option-extension consideration are added to the transaction price under the Gilead Agreement. License fees are recognized as revenue immediately as the Company has no continued involvement in the advancement of the program, Gilead can benefit from the license on its own, and the license is separately identifiable from the research services.

Gilead Revenue Recognized

The total transaction price allocated to the combined performance obligation under the Gilead Agreement was $199.0 million at September 30, 2024. The total transaction price was comprised of the $50.0 million upfront payment pursuant to the 2018 Gilead Agreement, the $125.0 million upfront payment pursuant to the Gilead Agre ement, and $24.0 million in payment pursuant to research option-extension fees in December 2020 and in September 2021. During thethree months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $11.6 million and $10.7 million, respectively, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $25.9 million and $26.1 million, respectively, of collaboration revenue associated with the Gilead agreements based on performance completed during each period.

The Company reevaluates the transaction price and the total estimated costs expected to be incurred to satisfy the performance obligations at the end of each reporting period and as uncertain events, such as changes to the expected timing and cost of certain research and development activities that the Company is responsible for, are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had short-term deferred revenue of $15.6 million and $25.7 million, respectively, and long-term deferred revenue of $50.9 million and $66.7 million, respectively, related to the Gilead collaboration. The remaining long-term deferred revenue is expected to be recognized proportionally to the completed obligations over an expected remaining contractual term of approximately 2.9 years.

In June 2024, Gilead licensed a drug discovery program for a $12.0 million license fee. The $12.0 million license fee was recognized as revenue in the second quarter of 2024 as the Company has no continued involvement in the advancement of the program, Gilead can benefit from the license on its own, and the license is separately identifiable from the research services.

Amounts due to the Company that have not yet been received are recorded as accounts receivable and amounts received that have not yet been recognized as revenue are recorded as deferred revenue on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Costs incurred pursuant to the Gilead Agreement and the 2018 Gilead Agreement are recorded as research and development expense.

Fair Value Measurements

The following tables present information about the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

There wereno transfers between fair value levels during thenine months ended September 30, 2024.

Marketable Securities

The Company values its marketable securities using independent pricing services which normally derive security prices from recently reported trades for identical or similar securities, making adjustments based on significant observable transactions. At each balance sheet date, observable market inputs may include trade information, broker or dealer quotes, bids, offers or a combination of these data sources.

The following table summarizes the Company’s marketable debt securities, classified as available-for-sale:

The Company holds marketable debt securities with an aggregate fair value of $29.6 million asof September 30, 2024 with contractual maturity dates greater than one year.

The following table summarizes the fair value and gross unrealized losses aggregated by category and the length of time that individual securities have been in an unrealized loss position:

The Company holds investment grade marketable securities considered to be in an unrealized loss position. Although these marketable securities are held at an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2024, the Company does not intend to sell the marketable securities prior to the value of the securities being recovered and the Company has concluded that it is more likely than not that the marketable securities cost basis values will be recovered prior to sale of the securities and that there are no conditions or events that might require the Company to sell the securities before recovery of the cost basis occurs. Further, the Company didnot record any impairments to marketable securities or reserves for credit losses related to its marketable debt securities during the periods then ended. Marketable securities include $1.2 million and $1.8 million in accrued interest at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Supplemental Balance Sheet Information

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment, net consists of the following:

Depreciation expense was $1.9 million and $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities

Accrued expenses and other current liabilities include the following:

Restricted Cash

As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company maintained a restricted cash balance of $2.6 million and $3.4 million, respectively, all of which was related to a security deposit associated with the Company’s facility lease. The cash will remain restricted in accordance with the lease agreement absent the event of a lease termination or modification. The reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash to amounts presented in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows are as follows:

Commitments and Contingencies

License Agreement

In June 2024, the Company and Sesame Therapeutics, Inc. (Sesame) entered into a license agreement pursuant to which the Company granted Sesame a non-exclusive license to certain know-how associated with preclinical research (the Sesame Agreement). Pursuant to the Sesame Agreement, the Company received a $0.1 million upfront, non-refundable payment in June 2024.

Under the terms of the Sesame Agreement, the Company is eligible to receive up to $25.9 million in potential future clinical, regulatory, and commercial milestone event payments. The Company is also eligible to receive low single-digit tiered royalties on net sales of any product covered by a licensed patent.

The Company evaluated the Sesame Agreement under ASC 606. The Company identified the following promises under the agreement: (1) the non-exclusive license and (2) the initial know-how transfer, and determined that the promises were immaterial as the upfront license payment at contract inception was an inconsequential payment amount. The initial upfront license payment was recorded as license revenue on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss during the period ended June 30, 2024.

All potential future milestone payments are considered to be variable consideration and have been excluded from the transaction price. Revenue for all potential clinical and regulatory milestone achievements will be recognized when the related milestones are achieved or when it becomes probable that a significant reversal in the amount of revenue recognized relating to the milestone event will not occur. Milestone payments that are not within the control of the Company or the licensee, such as regulatory approvals, are not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received. Additionally, revenue related to potential sales milestones and royalties from the sales of the licensed products will be recognized when the related sales occur.

Due to common relationships amongst members of management and the boards of directors, the transaction above with Sesame is a related party transaction.

Clinical Trial Collaboration and Supply Agreement

In November 2024, the Company and Revolution Medicines, Inc. (RevMed) entered into a Clinical Trial Collaboration and Supply Agreement. The agreement provides that RevMed will supply two of its RAS inhibitors at no cost to the Company for use in trials that will include these combinations. The Company will be the sponsor of any combination trials and bear associated costs. Each company will retain commercial rights to its respective compounds, and the agreement is mutually non-exclusive. Due to common relationships amongst members of management and the boards of directors, this transaction is a related party transaction.

Other Funding Commitments

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had ongoing preclinical and clinical studies. The Company enters into contracts in the normal course of business with contract research organizations in connection with the preparation and operation of clinical trials, professional consultants for expert advice and other vendors for clinical supply manufacturing or other preclinical and clinical services. These contracts are generally cancellable, with notice, at the Company's option and do not have significant cancellation penalties.

Guarantees

The Company enters into certain agreements with other parties in the ordinary course of business that contain indemnification provisions. These typically include agreements with directors and officers, business partners, contractors, landlords, construction companies, contract research organizations, clinical trial sites, and other parties. Under these provisions, the Company generally indemnifies and holds harmless the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party under the terms of the contract, including as a result of the Company’s activities. These indemnification provisions generally survive termination of the underlying agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is unlimited. However, to date the Company has not incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification provisions. As a result, the estimated fair value of these obligations is minimal.

Litigation

The Company, from time to time, may be party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company was not subject to any material legal proceedings as of September 30, 2024, and no material legal proceedings are currently pending or threatened. Because of uncertainties related to claims, proceedings and litigation, assessments of potential liabilities are based on the Company's best estimates based on information available at the time of the assessment. On a periodic basis, as additional information becomes available, or based on specific events such as the outcome of litigation, court decisions or settlement of claims (and offers of settlement), the Company may reassess the potential liability related to these matters and may revise these estimates, which could result in a material adverse effect on the operating results of the Company. Costs associated with involvement in legal proceedings are expensed as incurred. The outcome of any such proceedings, regardless of the merits, is inherently uncertain. If the Company were to be unable to prevail in any such proceedings, the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and future cash flows of the Company may be materially impacted.

Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

Undesignated Preferred Stock

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended and restated, authorizes the Company to issue shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. The number of shares of preferred stock authorized to be issued is 10,000,000 shares as of September 30, 2024. The shares of preferred stock are currently undesignated andno shares are issued or outstanding.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock Incentive Plan

In March 2017, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2017 Stock Option and Grant Plan (the 2017 Plan), under which stock options and restricted stock awards were granted to eligible employees, officers, directors, consultants, or other key persons who provide services to the Company. Such issuances under the 2017 Plan were subject to vesting, forfeiture and other restrictions as deemed appropriate by the board of directors at the time of issuance.

In August 2021, the Company's stockholders approved the 2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the 2021 Plan), under which stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs) and other equity-based awards or any combination of these may be granted to eligible employees, officers, directors, consultants, or other key persons who provide services to the Company. Such issuances are subject to vesting, forfeiture and other restrictions as deemed appropriate by the board of directors at the time of issuance. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had 6,941,800 shares available for future issuance under the 2021 Plan.

The 2023 Inducement Plan (the Inducement Plan) became effective upon approval of the Company's board of directors in February 2023. The Inducement Plan allows the Company to make equity and equity-based incentive awards to individuals who were not previously employees or directors of the Company. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had 2,093,099 shares available for future issuance under the Inducement Plan.

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense in the following expense categories in its accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations:

Stock Option Activity

The following table summarizes the stock option activity for thenine months ended September 30, 2024:

As of September 30, 2024, total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options was $49.8 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a remaining weighted-average period of 2.4 years.

Restricted Stock Unit Activity

The following table summarizes the RSU activity for thenine months ended September 30, 2024:

As of September 30, 2024, total unrecognized compens ation expense related to RSUs was $8.5 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a remaining weighted-average period of 2.0 years.

2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the 2021 ESPP) was adopted and approved by the Company’s board of directors and by the Company’s stockholders and became effective upon the closing of the Business Combination. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued 106,687 shares of common stock under the 2021 ESPP.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders was calculated as follows:

In August 2023, the Company completed a private placement, in which 13,196,671 shares of common stock were sold together with pre-funded warrants to purchase 2,340,579 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. The pre-funded warrants were classified as a component of permanent equity in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet as they are freestanding financial instruments that are immediately exercisable, do not embody an obligation for the Company to repurchase its own shares and permit the holders to receive a fixed number of shares of common stock upon exercise. All of the shares underlying the pre-funded warrants have been included in the weighted-average number of shares of common stock used to calculate basic and diluted net loss per common share because the shares may be issued for little or no consideration, are fully vested and are exercisable after the original issuance date of the pre-funded warrants.

The Company’s potential dilutive securities, which include common stock options and unvested restricted common stock units, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share. Therefore, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same. The Company excluded the following potential common shares, presented based on amounts outstanding at each period end, from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the periods indicated because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:

Income Taxes

The Company’s effec tive income tax rate was -0.2% and -0.1% for thethree months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and -0.2% and -0.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The income tax provision was $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and the income tax provision was $0.2 million and $0.1 millionfor the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Consistent with the prior year, for 2024 the Company assessed the requirement to capitalize and amortize research and experimentation expenditures for US tax purposes, which remains effective as of September 30, 2024. The Company is forecasting a taxable loss position in 2024 for whichno tax benefit is recorded due to the valuation allowance maintained against the Company’s deferred tax assets.

The effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 differed from the 21.0% federal statutory rate primarily due to the valuation allowance maintained against the Company’s deferred tax assets.
