Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2025

  1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Nature of Business

Corbus Pharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc. (the "Company" or "Corbus") is an oncology and obesity company with a diversified portfolio and is committed to helping people defeat serious illness by bringing innovative scientific approaches to well-understood biological pathways. Corbus’ pipeline is comprised of two experimental drugs targeting solid tumors: CRB-701, a next-generation antibody drug conjugate ("ADC") that targets the expression of Nectin-4 on cancer cells to release a cytotoxic payload of monomethyl auristatin E ("MMAE") and CRB-601, an anti-integrin monoclonal antibody that blocks the activation of TGFβ expressed on cancer cells. The pipeline also includes CRB-913, a highly peripherally restricted cannabinoid type-1 ("CB1") receptor inverse agonist for the treatment of obesity. Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to business planning, research and development, recruiting management and technical staff, acquiring operating assets and raising capital. The Company’s business is subject to significant risks and uncertainties and the Company will be dependent on raising substantial additional capital before it becomes profitable, and it may never achieve profitability.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial reporting. In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the condensed consolidated financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2025 and the results of its operations and changes in stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Certain amounts in the prior year's financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. These reclassifications did not impact previously reported net loss or cash flows. The December 31, 2024 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements. The Company prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements following the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for interim reporting. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed on March 11, 2025 (the "2024 Annual Report"). The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year.

Basis of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q are consistent with those discussed in Note 3, "Significant Accounting Policies," in our 2024 Annual Report.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires entities to disclose disaggregated information about their effective tax rate reconciliations as well as expanded information on income taxes by jurisdiction. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis. The Company discloses its income tax rate reconciliation in its annual consolidated financial statements only and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Government Tax Credits

The Company is eligible to receive government assistance in the form of refundable research and development tax credits and the employee retention tax credit ("ERTC"). The Company may qualify for refundable research and development tax credits from foreign authorities in the form of cash that are earned on certain research and development expenses incurred primarily outside of the United States ("U.S.") by its foreign subsidiaries in the United Kingdom ("U.K.") and Australia. Under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020, or CARES Act, the Company was eligible to claim the ERTC, which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes. The Company records these tax credits as other income, net when the Company has reasonable assurance any conditions attached to the assistance have been met and the assistance will be received. The Company recognized $1.1 million and $2.5 million in government tax credits to other income, net for thethree months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. All amounts have been received, except for $1.1 million that is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets within the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025. No future conditions impact the recognition of these tax credits.

  1. LIQUIDITY

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred recurring losses since inception and as of March 31, 2025, had an accumulated deficit of approximately $493.9 million. The Company anticipates operating losses to continue for the foreseeable future due to, among other things, costs related to research funding, development of its product candidates and its pre-clinical and clinical programs, strategic alliances, and the development of its administrative organization. The Company expects that its cash, cash equivalents, and investments of approximately $132.8 million at March 31, 2025 will be sufficient to meet its operating and capital requirements at least twelve months from the issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The source, timing and availability of any future financing will depend principally upon market conditions, and, more specifically, on the progress of the Company’s clinical development programs. Funding may not be available when needed, at all, or on terms acceptable to the Company. Lack of necessary funds may require the Company to, among other things, delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of the Company’s planned clinical or pre-clinical trials.

  1. CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS, AND RESTRICTED CASH

The Company considers only those investments which are highly liquid, readily convertible to cash, and that mature within 90 days from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, cash equivalents were comprised of money market funds and corporate debt securities with maturities less than 90 days from the date of purchase.

Restricted cash as of March 31, 2025 included security for a stand-by letter of credit issued in favor of a landlord for $0.7 million of which $0.3 million was classified in current assets and $0.4 million was classified in noncurrent assets as of March 31, 2025.

  1. LICENSE AGREEMENTS

The Company entered into a license agreement (the "Jenrin License Agreement") with Jenrin Discovery, LLC ("Jenrin"), a privately-held Delaware limited liability company, effective September 20, 2018. Pursuant to the Jenrin License Agreement, Jenrin granted the Company exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize the Licensed Products (as defined in the Jenrin License Agreement) which includes the Jenrin library of over 600 compounds and multiple issued and pending patent filings. The compounds are designed to treat inflammatory and fibrotic diseases by targeting the endocannabinoid system.

Inconsideration of the license and other rights granted by Jenrin, the Company paid Jenrin a $0.3 million upfront cash payment and is obligated to pay potential milestone payments to Jenrin totaling up to $18.4 million for each compound it elects to develop based upon the achievement of specified development and regulatory milestones. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay Jenrin royalties in the mid, single digits based on net sales of any Licensed Products, subject to specified reductions. The Company achieved the first milestone in the amount of $0.4 million associated with theprogression into a clinical trial for CRB-913 during the three months ended March 31, 2025. This amount is included in accounts payable within the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025.

The Company entered into a license agreement (the "UCSF License Agreement") with the Regents of the University of California ("The Regents") effective May 26, 2021. Pursuant to the UCSF License Agreement, the Company received an exclusive license to certain patents relating to humanized antibodies against integrin αvβ8, one of which the Company is referring to as CRB-601, along with non-exclusive licenses to certain related know-how and materials. The Company amended the UCSF License Agreement with The Regents effective November 17, 2022 adding additional antibody patents to the agreement.

Inconsideration for the license and other rights granted to the Company under the UCSF License Agreement, the Company paid The Regents a license issue fee of $1.5 million. In consideration for the additional antibody patents granted to the Company, the Company paid The Regents a license issue fee of $0.8 million, paid in two equal installments of $0.4 million.

The Company further amended the UCSF License Agreement with The Regents effective August 14, 2023 to incorporate certain new technology rights and amend the payment schedule for the development milestone for the filing of patent rights and the development milestone for the filing of an Investigational New Drug ("IND").

-10-

In addition to the license issuance fees, the Company is obligated to pay an annual license maintenance fee, as well as up to $150.8 million in remaining potential milestone payments, excluding indication milestones for antibodies used for diagnostic products and services that will be an additional $50.0 thousand for each new indication, for the achievement of certain development, regulatory, and sales milestones. In addition, the Company is also obligated to pay royalties in the lower, single digits on sales of products falling within the scope of the licensed patents, which is subject to a minimum annual royalty obligation, and a percentage share of certain payments received by the Company from sublicensees or in connection with the sale of the licensed program. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company paid $1.6 million under the UCSF License Agreement for previously achieved milestone payments. This amount was included within accounts payable within the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024.

The Company entered into a license agreement (the "CSPC License Agreement") with CSPC Megalith Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd. ("CSPC"), a subsidiary of CSPC Pharmaceutical Group Limited, effective February 12, 2023. Pursuant to the CSPC License Agreement, the Company received an exclusive license to develop and commercialize a novel clinical stage ADC targeting Nectin-4, which the Company is referring to as CRB-701, in the U.S., Canada, the European Union (including the European Free Trade Area), the U.K., and Australia.

In consideration for the license granted to the Company under the CSPC License Agreement, the Company paid CSPC an upfront payment of $7.5 million ($5.0 million paid at signing during the first quarter of 2023 followed by $2.5 million paid during the third quarter of 2024). The Company is obligated to pay potential milestone payments to CSPC totaling up to $130.0 million based upon the achievement of specified development and regulatory milestones and $555.0 million in potential commercial milestone payments. In addition, we are obligated to pay royalties in the low double digits based on net sales of any Licensed Products, as defined in the CSPC License Agreement.

The Company determined that substantially all of the fair value of the Jenrin License Agreement and CSPC License Agreement was attributable to a single in-process research and development asset which did not constitute a business. The Company determined that substantially all of the fair value of the UCSF License Agreement was attributable to separate groups of in-process research and development assets which did not constitute a business. The Company concluded that it did not have any alternative future use for the acquired in-process research and development assets. Thus, the Company recorded the various upfront payments to research and development expenses in the quarter the license deals became effective. The Company will account for the development, regulatory, and sales milestone payments in the period that the relevant milestones are achieved as either research and development expense or as an intangible asset as applicable. Research and development expenses associated with upfront payments and clinical milestones was $0.4 million for thethree months ended March 31, 2025 related to the CRB-913 milestone payment in accordance with the Jenrin License Agreement. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, no research and development expense associated with upfront payments or clinical milestones were incurred under any of the above agreements.

  1. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AWARDS

On May 16, 2024, the Company's stockholders approved the 2024 Equity Compensation Plan (the "2024 Plan") authorizing the issuance of up to 2,000,000 shares, succeeding the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2014 Plan"), under which no further grants may be made pursuant to the terms of the 2014 Plan. Pursuant to the 2024 Plan, the Board may grant nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance shares, performance units, incentive bonus awards, other cash-based awards and other stock-based awards to employees, officers, non-employee directors, and other individual service providers.

Under the terms of the 2024 Plan and 2014 Plan, the Company granted stock options and RSUs to employees, officers, non-employee directors, consultants and advisors. Stock options have a ten-year term and an exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the grant date. Stock options generally vest over four years with 25% vesting on the one-year anniversary of the grant date and the remainder vesting in equal monthly installments thereafter, except for grants to non-employee directors that vest annually. RSUs generally vest over a period of one to four years in annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date.

As of March 31, 2025, an aggregate of 829,334 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise or vesting of outstanding awards under the 2014 Plan. No additional grants can be made under the 2014 Plan.

Total stock-based compensation$1,714$982

Stock Options

The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes stock option pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table, except for the expected term for non-employees as noted in the following paragraph. The expected term of employee and non-employee director stock options granted under the 2014 Plan and 2024 Plan, all of which qualify as "plain vanilla" per SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 107, is determined based on the simplified method due to the Company’s limited operating history. The expected term is applied to the stock option grant group as a whole, as the Company does not expect substantially different exercise or post-vesting termination behavior among our employee population. For non-employee stock options, excluding directors, the Company has elected to utilize the contractual term as the expected term. The risk-free rate is based on the yield of a U.S. Treasury security with a term consistent with that used to value the stock option. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

The weighted average assumptions used principally in determining the fair value of stock options granted to employees were as follows:

Three Months Ended March 31,
