Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLID ATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- Organization and Nature of Business
Kymera Therapeutics, Inc., together with its subsidiary Kymera Securities Corporation, is referred to on a consolidated basis as the “Company”. The Company is a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing small molecule therapeutics that selectively degrade disease-causing proteins by harnessing the body’s own natural cellular process, a method known as targeted protein degradation. The Company has devoted its efforts principally to research and development since formation. The Company has not yet completed product development, filed for or obtained regulatory approvals for any products, nor verified the market acceptance and demand for such products. As a result, the Company is subject to a number of risks common to emerging companies in the biotech industry. Principal among these risks are the uncertainties of the product discovery and development process, dependence on key individuals, development of the same or similar technological innovations by the Company’s competitors, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations and approval requirements, the Company’s ability to access capital and uncertainty of market acceptance of products.
The Company has historical net losses and anticipates that it will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future and had an accumulated deficit of$896.8 million as of June 30, 2025. The Company has funded these losses principally through the issuance and sale of its convertible preferred stock to outside investors and collaborators in private equity financings, its initial public offering, or IPO, follow-on offerings, Private Investment in Public Equity, or PIPE offering, and at-the market sales programs as well as from cash proceeds received in connection with the Company’s corporate collaboration agreements (see Note 5). The Company expects to continue to incur operating losses and negative operating cash flows until such time as it generates a level of revenue that is sufficient to support its cost structure.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of$963.1 million. The Company believes these cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund its operations and capital expenditure requirements through at least twelve months from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company expects to finance the future research and development costs of its product portfolio with its existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, or through strategic financing opportunities that could include, but are not limited to future offerings of its equity, collaboration agreements, or the incurrence of debt. However, there is no guarantee that any of these strategic or financing opportunities will be executed or realized on favorable terms, if at all, and some could be dilutive to existing stockholders. If the Company fails to obtain additional future capital, it may be unable to complete its planned preclinical studies and clinical trials.
2024 Follow-on Public Offerings
On January 9, 2024, the Company completed a follow-on offering of its common stock and, in lieu of common stock to certain investors, pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. The Company issued and sold 3,884,158 shares of common stock, including full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase an additional 1,633,663 shares, at a public offering price of $25.25 per share. Additionally, in lieu of common stock to certain investors, the Company issued and sold pre-funded warrants to purchase 8,640,594 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $25.2499 per pre-funded warrant, which represents the per share public offering price of each share of common stock less the $0.0001 per share exercise price for each pre-funded warrant. The aggregate gross proceeds before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company were approximately $316.2 million.
On August 21, 2024, the Company completed a follow-on offering of its common stock and, in lieu of common stock to certain investors, pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. The Company issued and sold 2,830,533 shares of common stock, including full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase an additional 828,220 shares, at a public offering price of $40.75 per share. Additionally, in lieu of common stock to certain investors, the Company issued and sold pre-funded warrants to purchase 3,519,159 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $40.7499 per pre-funded warrant, which represents the per share public offering price of each share of common stock less the $0.0001 per share exercise price for each pre-funded warrant. The aggregate gross proceeds before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company were approximately $258.7 million.
2025 Follow-on Public Offering
On June 30, 2025, the Company issued and sold 5,044,500 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $44.00 per share. Additionally, in lieu of common stock to a certain investor, the Company issued and sold pre-funded warrants to purchase 655,500 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $43.9999 per pre-funded warrant, which represents the public offering price per share of common stock less the $0.0001 per share exercise price of each pre-funded warrant. The aggregate gross proceeds from this initial closing, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, were approximately $250.8 million.
In July 2025, the Company completed the follow-on offering through the closing of the underwriters’ full exercise of their option to purchase an additional 855,000 shares of common stock. As a result, the total aggregate gross proceeds from this follow-on offering, including the proceeds from the initial closing on June 30, 2025 and the subsequent closings, were approximately $288.4 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.
Pre-funded warrants
In connection with certain offerings the Company has issued pre-funded warrants to purchase common stock in lieu of common stock. As the pre-funded warrants are indexed to the Company’s common stock (and otherwise meet the requirements to be classified in equity), the Company recorded the consideration received from the issuance of the pre-funded warrants as additional paid-in capital on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The pre-funded warrants are exercisable at any time. The holders of Pre-Funded Warrants may not exercise the warrant if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder,9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. The holders of Pre-Funded Warrants may increase or decrease such percentages not in excess of 19.99% by providing at least 61 days’ prior notice to the Company.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, no pre-funded warrants were exercised. As of June 30, 2025, there were 15,815,253 pre-funded warrants outstanding.

- Marketable Securities
The following tables summarize the available-for-sale debt securities held at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands):
| Description | AmortizedCost | UnrealizedGains | UnrealizedLosses | FairValue |

| Total | $732,131 | $652 | $(2,136) | $730,647 |
As of June 30, 2025, the Company held 119 securities that had been in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months with an aggregate fair value of $315.1 million. As of December 31, 2024, the Company held 121 securities that had been in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months with an aggregate fair value of $342.1 million. As of June 30, 2025, the Company heldno securities that had been in an unrealized loss position for greater than 12 months. As of December 31, 2024, the Company held 4 securities that had been in an unrealized loss position for greater than 12 months with an aggregate fair value of $7.6 million.
As of June 30, 2025 the Company had 113 securities with a fair value of $329.6 million with a contractual maturity of less than 12 months and 108 securities with a fair value of $297.6 million with a contractual maturity of greater than 12 months. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had 129 securities with a fair value of $368.5 million with a contractual maturity of less than 12 months and 116 securities with a fair value of $362.2 million with a contractual maturity of greater than 12 months.
The Company is required to determine whether a decline in the fair value below the amortized cost basis of available-for-sale securities is due to credit-related factors. At each reporting date, the Company performs an evaluation of impairment to determine if any unrealized losses are the result of credit losses. Impairment is assessed at the individual security level. Factors considered in determining whether a loss resulted from a credit loss or other factors include the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investment until the recovery of its amortized cost basis, the extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer, any historical failure of the issuer to make scheduled interest or principal payments, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, any adverse legal or regulatory events affecting the issuer or issuer’s industry, and any significant deterioration in economic conditions.
Unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities presented in the previous table have not been recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations because the securities are high credit quality, investment grade securities that the Company does not intend to sell and will not be required to sell prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value is attributable to factors other than credit losses. Based on its evaluation, the Company determined it doesnot have any credit losses related to its available-for-sale securities as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
- Collaborations
Gilead Agreement
Agreement Terms
On June 25, 2025, the Company entered into an exclusive option and license agreement (the “Gilead Agreement”) with Gilead Sciences, Inc. (“Gilead”), to collaborate on developing novel molecular glue degraders directed against cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (“CDK2”). Under the Gilead Agreement, the Company granted to Gilead an exclusive option, exercisable during a defined option period, to exercise an exclusive, worldwide license to develop, manufacture, and commercialize certain CDK2 degraders generated under the collaboration.
Pursuant to the Gilead Agreement, the Company is responsible for all discovery and preclinical research activities through the delivery of a complete data package as defined in the agreement. If, after receiving the complete data package, Gilead exercises its option to license the program, Gilead will have global rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize all products resulting from the collaboration.
If Gilead does not exercise the option during the option period defined in the agreement, then the Gilead Agreement will terminate. Following option exercise, the Gilead Agreement will expire on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis upon the expiration of all royalty obligations under the agreement. Gilead may terminate the agreement for convenience upon advance written notice. Each party may also terminate the agreement for material breach, insolvency, and the agreement may be terminated for certain other customary reasons, including Gilead’s right to terminate certain provisions of the agreement following a change of control of the Company.
In consideration for the exclusive option and rights granted under the Gilead Agreement, the Company received a non-refundable upfront payment of $40.0 million. In addition, if Gilead exercises the option, the Company is entitled to receive an option exercise payment of $45.0 million and will be eligible to receive up to $665.0 million upon the achievement of certain development, regulatory and commercial milestones. The Company is also eligible to receive tiered royalties on net sales by Gilead ranging from high single-digit to mid-teen percentages, subject to customary reductions in certain circumstances.
The Company evaluated the Gilead Agreement under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and determined that the arrangement represents a contract with a customer. The Company identified the following material promises under the Gilead Agreement: (1) the discovery and preclinical research activities and (2) an option granting Gilead the right to acquire an exclusive license to the program.
The option to acquire an exclusive license to the program was evaluated as a material right. The Company determined that the option to acquire an exclusive license in the future was not priced at a discount, and that the option exercise fee is at or above the standalone selling price for research at this stage of development; as such, the options and the underlying licenses are excluded from the performance obligation and the option exercise fees are excluded from the transaction price until the underlying option is exercised.
The total transaction price as of June 30, 2025, was determined to be $40.0 million, which represents the upfront payment. The option exercise payment and all future milestone and royalty payments are excluded from the initial transaction price as they are contingent on future events and were deemed constrained due to the uncertainty of achievement and the Company’s limited control over their occurrence.
The Company recognizes revenue associated with the performance obligation as the discovery and preclinical research activities areprovided using an input method, according to costs incurred and the costs expected to be incurred in the future to satisfy that individual performance obligation. The transfer of control occurs over this time period and, in management’s judgment, is the best measure of progress towards satisfying each performance obligation. As of June 30, 2025, the Company has not recognized revenue under the Gilead Agreement. The remaining deferred revenue of $40.0 million will be recognized over the remainder of the estimated research period, which is expected to conclude within the next 1.0 years.
All option and milestone payments were constrained as the achievement of such milestones are contingent upon the success of the underlying research and development activities and are generally outside the control of the Company. Any amounts related to the option exercise fee or milestone payments will be included in the transaction price and recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis when the risk of revenue reversal is resolved. Royalties and commercial milestone payments, if any, will be recognized at the later of when the related sales occur or when the associated performance obligation has been satisfied.
Sanofi Agreement
Agreement Terms
On July 7, 2020, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement, or the Sanofi Agreement, with Sanofi, to co-develop drug candidates directed to two biological targets. Under the Sanofi Agreement, the Company granted to Sanofi a worldwide exclusive license to develop, manufacture and commercialize certain lead compounds generated during the collaboration directed against IRAK4, or Collaboration Target 1, and one additional undisclosed target in an undisclosed field of use, or Collaboration Target 2. Such license is exercisable on a collaboration target-by-collaboration target basis only after specified milestones. For compounds directed against IRAK4, the field of use includes diagnosis, treatment, cure, mitigation or prevention of any diseases, disorders or conditions, excluding oncology and immuno-oncology.
Pursuant to the Sanofi Agreement, the Company is responsible for discovery and preclinical research and conducting a Phase 1 clinical trial for at least one degrader directed against IRAK4 plus up to three backup degraders. With respect to both targets, Sanofi is responsible for development, manufacturing, and commercialization of product candidates after a specified development milestone occurs with respect to each collaboration candidate.
In addition, pursuant to the Sanofi Agreement, Sanofi will grant to the Company an exclusive option, or Opt-In Right, exercisable on a collaboration target-by-collaboration target basis that will include the right to (i) fund 50% of the United States development costs for collaboration products directed against such target in the applicable field of use and (ii) share equally in the net profits and net losses of commercializing collaboration products directed against such target in the applicable field of use in the United States. In addition, if the Company exercises the Opt-In Right, Sanofi will grant to the Company an exclusive option, applicable to each collaboration target, which upon exercise will allow the Company to conduct certain co-promotion activities in the field in the United States.
The Sanofi Agreement, unless earlier terminated, will expire on a product-by-product basis on the date of expiration of all payment obligations under the Sanofi Agreement with respect to such product. The Company or Sanofi may terminate the agreement upon the other party’s material breach or insolvency or for certain patent challenges. In addition, Sanofi may terminate the Sanofi Agreement for convenience or for a material safety event upon advance prior written notice, and the Company may terminate the Sanofi Agreement with respect to any collaboration candidate if, following Sanofi’s assumption of responsibility for the development, commercialization or manufacturing of collaboration candidates with respect to a particular target, Sanofi ceases to exploit any collaboration candidates directed to such target for a specified period.
In consideration for the exclusive licenses granted to Sanofi under the Sanofi Agreement, Sanofi paid to us an upfront payment of $150.0 million. In addition to the upfront payment, under the agreement we were eligible to receive certain development milestone payments of up to $1.48 billion, and commercial milestone payments of up to $700.0 million, in the aggregate. The Company will further be eligible to receive tiered royalties on net sales ranging from the high single digits to high teens, subject to low-single digits upward adjustments in certain circumstances.
On November 15, 2022, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Collaboration and License Agreement with Sanofi, or the Amended Sanofi Agreement, which amended the Original Sanofi Agreement to revise certain research terms and responsibilities set forth under the Original Sanofi Agreement. The Amended Sanofi Agreement also specifies details around the timing and number of Phase 2 trials required under the terms of the collaboration. The Amended Sanofi Agreement became effective on December 5, 2022.
Additionally with respect to Sanofi, on December 2, 2022, Sanofi provided the Company with written notice of its intention to advance the collaboration target 1 candidate, KT-474, into Phase 2 clinical trials. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company achieved two milestones of $40.0 million and $15.0 million relating to the dosing of the first patient in the Phase 2 clinical trial for the first and second indications, respectively. In the first quarter of 2025, the Company achieved a development milestone related to certain preclinical activities associated with the IRAK4 program. In connection with this milestone the Company unconstrained $20.0 million of consideration in the first quarter of 2025.
In September 2023, the Company and Sanofi mutually agreed to cease activities related to Collaboration Target 2.
In June 2025, Sanofi communicated its decision to exercise its full participation election under the terms of the companies’ collaboration agreement, and to advance KT-485/SAR447971, into clinical testing. As a result, Sanofi intends to stop development of KT-474. In connection with the IRAK4 program, the Company remains eligible to receive up to $975 million in development and commercial milestones upon the achievement of certain developmental or regulatory events and upon the achievement of certain net sales thresholds.
The Company analyzed the discovery and preclinical research activities as well as the exclusive license grants under the Sanofi Agreement and concluded that the arrangement was indicative of a vendor-customer relationship and would be accounted for under ASC 606.
The Company identified the following material promises under the arrangement: (1) research services for Collaboration Target 1, (2) research license for Collaboration Target 1, (3) exclusive license for Collaboration Target 1, (4) research services for Collaboration Target 2, (5) research license for Collaboration Target 2, (6) exclusive license for Collaboration Target 2, (7) option to extend the research term, and (8) optional research services during the development period.
The Company determined that Collaboration Targets 1 and 2 are distinct from each other. The research associated with degraders directed to each target is at different stages and the licensed field, should development activities be successful, are different from each other. As such, all promises associated with each target are considered distinct from promises associated with the other target.
The research and development services for each collaboration target were determined not to be distinct from the research license and the exclusive license and have been combined into a single performance obligation for each collaboration target. That is, two performance obligations were identified, the combined research services, research license and exclusive license for Collaboration Target 1 and the combined research services, research license and exclusive license for Collaboration Target 2. The exclusive license for each target is not distinct from the preclinical and clinical research and development services under the Sanofi Agreement, primarily due to the highly specialized nature of the research and novel technology involved with developing protein degraders – the preclinical activities and studies and first phase 1 clinical trial could not be conducted by another party in the manner required.
The option to extend the research term and optional research services during the development period were evaluated as material rights. The fees associated with each option are at or above the standalone selling price. As such, the underlying options are not performance obligations and fees associated with each option are excluded from the transaction price until the underlying option is exercised.
The Company determined the total transaction price to be $150.0 million, which consists solely of the upfront payment. All milestone payments and option payments were constrained as the achievement of such milestones are contingent upon the success of the underlying research and development activities and are generally outside the control of the Company. The reimbursement of costs for the IRAK4 backup degrader is also treated as constrained variable consideration as the criteria for reimbursement may not always be met, under which circumstances the Company would be responsible for the costs related to the backup degrader. Upon becoming unconstrained, the reimbursement consideration will be added to the transaction price and allocated to Collaboration Target 1.
The Company allocated the upfront payment to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price, as follows:
Collaboration Target 1: $120.0 million
Collaboration Target 2: $30.0 million
The Company determined the allocation of the $150.0 million transaction price between Collaboration Target 1 and Collaboration Target 2 based on the value of the research and development for the programs from projected research and development costs for each collaboration target plus a developer’s profit and the total potential milestones for each collaboration target.
The Company recognizes revenue associated with each performance obligation as the research and development services are provided using an input method, according to costs incurred as related to the research and development activities for each individual program and the costs expected to be incurred in the future to satisfy that individual performance obligation. The transfer of control occurs over this time period and, in management’s judgment, is the best measure of progress towards satisfying each performance obligation. Milestone and reimbursement consideration added to the transaction price will be recognized as revenue with a cumulative catch-up upon becoming unconstrained.
With Sanofi's exercise of its full participation election under the agreement for Collaboration Target 1, the performance obligation associated with Collaboration Target 1 has been fully satisfied as of June 30, 2025. The performance obligation associated with Collaboration Target 2 has been fully satisfied.
In the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized $11.5 million in revenue under the Sanofi Agreement, all of which was associated with Collaboration Target 1. In the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized $33.6 million in revenue under the Sanofi Agreement, all of which was associated with Collaboration Target 1. In the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized $25.7 million in revenue under the Sanofi Agreement, all of which was associated with Collaboration Target 1. In the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized $35.9 million in revenue under the Sanofi Agreement, all of which was associated with Collaboration Target 1. Of the $33.6 million of revenue recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2025, $13.6 million was recognized from amounts that were recorded in deferred revenue as of December 31, 2024. The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the Company’s unsatisfied performance obligations and recorded in deferred revenue at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 is $0 and $13.6 million, respectively. This decrease was the result of on-going activity under the collaboration agreement as well as a $11.5 million cumulative catch-up to revenue related to the Company satisfying the performance obligation under Collaboration Target 1 that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company received $0.9 million in cost reimbursement payments.
In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company achieved two development milestones relating to the dosing of the first patient in the KT-474 Phase 2 clinical trials for the first and second indications, respectively. In connection with these milestones the Company unconstrained $55.0 million of consideration in the fourth quarter of 2023. In the first quarter of 2025, the Company achieved a development milestone related to certain preclinical activities associated with the IRAK4 program. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized $3.7 million and $23.6 million of revenue from the unconstrained milestones, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, all of the $75.0 million of consideration has been recorded as revenue.
Vertex Agreement
On May 9, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a collaboration agreement (the “Vertex Agreement”) with Vertex to advance small molecule protein degraders against up to six targets. Under the Vertex Agreement, Vertex had the exclusive option to license the rights to the product candidates developed for the designated targets at which point Vertex would control development and commercialization. Pursuant to the Vertex Agreement, the Company was only responsible for discovery and preclinical research on the targets, and Vertex was responsible for development, manufacturing, and commercialization of the product candidates after it exercises its option to license. The initial research term of the collaboration was four (4) years, extendable for an additional one (1) year period upon mutual agreement by the parties and payment by Vertex of certain per-target fees.
Vertex provided the Company with a non-refundable upfront payment of $50.0 million and purchased 3,059,695 shares of the Company’s Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B-1 Preferred Stock”) at $6.54 a share, pursuant to a separate, but simultaneously executed Share Purchase Agreement. The shares were purchased at a premium of $5.9 million, which was included in the transaction price and will be recognized as revenue over the period of performance. As a result of this purchase, Vertex was considered a related party. Vertex is no longer considered a related party.
The Company was eligible to receive up to $170.0 millionin payments per target, including development, regulatory and commercial milestones as well as option exercise payments. In addition, Vertex was obligated to pay the Company tiered royalties on futurenet sales on any products that may result from the Vertex Agreement. None of the payments under the Vertex Agreement are refundable. The Company may also perform follow-on research for an optioned target upon Vertex’s request and at Vertex’s expense.
The term of the Vertex Agreement began on the Effective Date and expired upon the completion of the initial research term on May 9, 2023.
The Company analyzed the joint research activities required under the Vertex Agreement and concluded that the arrangement was indicative of a vendor-customer relationship and would be accounted for under ASC 606.
The Company identified the following material promises under the arrangement: (1) the non-exclusive, royalty-free research license; (2) the research and development services to be performed on up to six targets; and (3) the option to license each of the targets for development, manufacturing, and commercialization efforts. The research and development services were determined not to be distinct from the research and development license and have been combined into a single performance obligation. The Company determined that the option to license the targets in the future was not priced at a discount, and that the option exercise fee for each target is at or above the standalone selling price for research at this stage of development; as such, the options and the underlying licenses are excluded from the performance obligation and the option exercise fees are excluded from the transaction price until the underlying option is exercised.
As part of its evaluation of constraining the research and development milestones, the Company considered numerous factors, including the fact that the achievement of the research and development milestones is contingent upon the results of the underlying research and development activities and is thus outside of the control of the Company.
At the commencement of the arrangement, two units of accounting were identified: the issuance of 3,059,695 shares of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock and the research activities the Company will perform over the Research Term. The Company determined the total transaction price to be $55.9 million, which consists of $5.9 million attributed to the premium from the shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock sold to Vertex and the $50.0 million upfront payment. To determine the fair value of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock issued to Vertex, the Company performed a valuation of the shares of the Company’s common and preferred stock, which took into consideration recent financings, and the Company’s recent development and future exit strategies, as well as a discount for lack of marketability.
The Company recognizes revenue associated with the performance obligation as the research and development services are provided using an input method, according to the costs incurred as related to the research and development activities on each program and the costs expected to be incurred in the future to satisfy the performance obligation. The transfer of control occurs over this time period and, in management’s judgment, is the best measure of progress towards satisfying the performance obligation. The Vertex collaboration agreement expired upon completion of the initial research term in May of 2023. Accordingly, the Company fully satisfied its performance obligation and recognized all remaining deferred revenue associated with the Vertex collaboration in May 2023. There was no revenue recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. There wereno unsatisfied performance obligations as of June 30, 2025. The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the Company’s unsatisfied performance obligation and recorded in deferred revenue is $0 at both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Amortization expense related to right-of-use assets during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively.
- Leases
In October 2019, the Company entered into a noncancelable facility lease agreement (the “2019 Lease”) for 34,522 square feet of research and development and office space in Watertown, Massachusetts. The term of the 2019 Lease is 120 months and expires on March 31, 2030. The 2019 Lease has an option to be extended for an additional five years. The lease is not reasonably certain to be extended and as such the additional term is not included in the measurement of the lease. The 2019 Lease includes a rent escalation clause, and rent expense is being recorded on a straight-line basis. In accordance with the lease agreement, the Company is required to maintain a security deposit and provided a letter of credit to the landlord, which is recorded in restricted cash as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The letter of credit totaled $1.3 million and $1.3 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
In December 2021, the Company entered into a noncancelable lease (the “2021 Lease”) for 100,624 square feet of office and laboratory space in Watertown, Massachusetts, which the Company began occupying in February 2024. The 2021 Lease is subject to base rent of $0.8 million per month beginning two months after the commencement date, plus the Company’s ratable share of taxes, maintenance and other operating expenses. Base rent is subject to a 3% annual increase over the lease term of approximately 134 months following the commencement date. The Company also has two consecutive options to extend the term of the lease forfive years each at then-market rates. The 2021 Lease also includes a tenant improvement allowance of approximately $20.1 million. In connection with the signing of the 2021 Lease, the Company issued a letter of credit for $4.5 million which is classified as restricted cash as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
The 2021 Lease required the landlord to build-out the base building prior to the construction of the Company’s premises. The Company concluded the accounting commencement date occurred when the landlord completed the build-out of the base building and control passed to the Company, which occurred in early January 2023. The Company assessed the classification of the 2021 Lease at the accounting commencement date and concluded the lease should be accounted for as an operating lease. The Company recorded an operating lease liability of $48.9 million, measured as the present value of the remaining lease payments discounted using the incremental borrowing rate as of the accounting commencement date. The Company recorded an operating lease right-of-use asset of $48.9 million, measured as the present value of the remaining lease payments, net of the tenant incentives.
The Company concluded the improvements paid for by the landlord in connection with the tenant improvement allowance represent lessee assets and therefore recorded $20.1 million of leasehold improvements in property and equipment. The Company recorded an additional $17.9 million of leasehold improvements in excess of the tenant improvement allowance, all of which were placed in service in 2024.
Upon occupancy of the 2021 Lease facility in February of 2024, the Company exited the 2019 Lease facility and is actively looking to sublease the entire facility for the remaining noncancellable lease term through March 31, 2030. These actions resulted in an impairment charge of $4.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company continues to evaluate the potential recovery of the ROU asset under sublease scenarios, and thus it is possible that additional impairments could be identified in future periods, and such amounts could be material.
The impairment charge reduces the carrying value of the associated ROU asset, leasehold improvements and certain furniture and fixture assets that remained in the facility to their estimated fair values. The fair values are estimated using a discounted cash flows approach based on forecasted future cash flows expected to be derived from the property based on current sublease market rent, which is considered a level 3 input in the fair value hierarchy, and other key assumptions such as future sublease market conditions and the discount rate.
The Company’s finance lease obligations consist of certain property and equipment financed through finance leases.

- Other Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation as the Company operates in an industry susceptible to patent legal claims. The Company accounts for estimated losses with respect to legal proceedings and claims when such losses are probable and estimable. Legal costs associated with these matters are expensed when incurred. The Company is not currently a party to any legal proceedings.
Indemnification Arrangements
As permitted under Delaware law, the Company has agreements whereby it indemnifies its investors, employees, officers, and directors (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) for certain events or occurrences while the Indemnified Parties are, or were serving, at its request in such capacity. The term of the indemnification period is for the Indemnified Parties’ lifetime. The Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company indemnifies, holds harmless, and agrees to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally the Company’s business partners or customers, in connection with any U.S. patent or any copyright or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to the Company’s products. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. The Company is not aware of any claims under indemnification arrangements, and it hasnot accrued any liabilities related to such obligations as of June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
- Equity-Based Compensation
2018 Stock Option and Grant Plan
In November 2018, the Company adopted, and its stockholders approved, the 2018 Stock Option and Grant Plan (the “2018 Plan”), which provides for the granting of stock options and other equity-based awards at the discretion of the Board of Directors or any subcommittee of the Board of Directors to the Company’s employees, officers, directors, and independent contractors. No further grants will be made under the 2018 Plan. However, the 2018 Plan will continue to govern outstanding equity awards granted thereunder. To the extent outstanding options granted under the 2018 Plan are cancelled, forfeited or otherwise terminated without being exercised and would otherwise have been returned to the share reserve under the 2018 Plan, the number of shares underlying such awards will be available for future grant under the 2020 Stock Option and Incentive Plan.
2020 Stock Option and Incentive Plan
In August 2020, the Company and its stockholders approved the 2020 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”), which became effective on August 20, 2020. The 2020 Plan replaced the 2018 Plan as the Company’s Board of Directors has determined not to make additional awards under the 2018 Plan following the closing of the Company’s IPO. The 2020 Plan allows the Company to make equity-based and cash-based incentive awards to its officers, employees, directors and consultants. The Company initially reserved 4,457,370 shares of its common stock for the issuance of awards under the 2020 Plan, which includes the shares of common stock remaining available for issuance under its 2018 Plan as of the business day immediately prior to the effective date of the registration statement. The 2020 Plan provides that the number of shares reserved and available for issuance will automatically increase on January 1, 2021 and each January 1 thereafter, by 4% of the Company’s outstanding number of shares of common stock on the immediately preceding December 31, or such lesser number of shares as determined by the Company’s compensation committee. These limits are subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend or other change in the Company’s capitalization. In June 2024, in connection with the Company's 2024 annual shareholder meeting, shareholders approved an amendment to the 2020 stock option plan that redefined the definition of common stock outstanding for the purposes of calculating the annual increase to the shares available for issuance. After the amendment, outstanding equity includes all outstanding common shares as well as outstanding pre-funded warrants. As of June 30, 2025, there were an aggregate of 4,147,079 shares remaining available for future grants.
2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In August 2020, the Company and its stockholders approved the 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2020 ESPP”), which became effective August 20, 2020. The 2020 ESPP initially reserved and authorized the issuance of up to a total of 445,653 shares of common stock to participating employees. The 2020 ESPP provides that the number of shares reserved and available for issuance will automatically increase on January 1, 2021 and each January 1 thereafter through January 1, 2030, by the lesser of (i)438,898 shares of common stock, (ii)1% of the Company’s outstanding number of shares of common stock on the immediately preceding December 31 or (iii) such lesser number of shares of common stock as determined by the administrator of the 2020 ESPP. The number of shares reserved under the 2020 ESPP is subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend or other change in the Company’s capitalization. As of June 30, 2025, there were an aggregate 2,318,998 shares remaining available for future grants.

The total number of PSOs that may vest will range from 0 to a maximum of 100%of the target number of options granted. The
PSOs will vest in three separate installments based upon the achievement of three clinical milestones. The achievement of one clinical milestone will result in the vesting of 40% of the Target Amount, the achievement of a second clinical milestone will result in the vesting of 40% of the Target Amount and the achievement of third clinical milestones will result in the vesting of 20% of the Target Amount. None of the PSOs with respect to the clinical milestone objective may vest prior to the first anniversary of the grant date. During the 6 months ended June 30, 2025, the Company granted 88,000 PSOs with a weighted average strike price of $30.17. As of June 30, 2025 there are 88,000 PSOs outstanding with a weighted average strike price of $30.17. As of June 30, 2025 the Company has concluded that it is not deemed probable that the clinical milestone based performance conditions will be achieved, and as such, no stock based compensation has been recorded for PSOs.

Concurrently with the June 2025 follow-on offering, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Baker Brothers Life Sciences, L.P. and 667, L.P. (collectively, the “BBA Funds”), entities affiliated with Atlas Venture (“Atlas”) and entities affiliated with BVF Partners L.P.

The Registration Rights Agreement provides that, subject to certain limitations, upon written request from the Affiliated Entities, beginning on February 28, 2026 the Company will be required to file a registration statement covering the resale of the registrable securities held by the Affiliated Entities. Furthermore, the Affiliated Entities will be entitled to include their registrable securities in a registration statement filed by the Company in connection with a public offering. The Registration Rights Agreement also requires the Company to pay certain expenses relating to such registrations and to indemnify the Affiliated Entities against certain liabilities.
Jefferies Open Market Sale Agreement SM
On October 31, 2024, prior to Dr. Maraganore joining Jefferies, the Company entered into an Open Market Sale Agreement SM (the “Jefferies Sales Agreement”) with Jefferies, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell shares of its common stock having aggregate gross proceeds of up to $300.0 million from time to time in “at-the-market” offerings through Jefferies, as its sales agent. The Company agreed to pay Jefferies a commission of up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds of any shares sold by Jefferies under the Jefferies Sales Agreement. As of June 30, 2025, the Company has not sold any shares of its common stock under the Jefferies Sales Agreement.
Other than the aforementioned items, the Company had no related party transactions for the periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, which have not otherwise been discussed in these notes to the consolidated financial statements.
- Income Taxes
Income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 have been calculated based on an estimated annual effective tax rate and certain discrete items. The Company recorded immaterial income tax expense related to investment income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
The Company has never been examined by the Internal Revenue Service or any other jurisdiction for any tax years and, as such, all years within the applicable statutes of limitations are potentially subject to audit.
- Net Loss per Share
Net Loss per Share
Basic and diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average common stock outstanding for the period. The Company had 15,815,253 and 11,640,594 pre-funded warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Each pre-funded warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. Due to the nominal exercise price of the pre-funded warrants, they are considered to be outstanding shares of common stock for purposes of the calculation of earnings per share. (in thousands, except for share and per share data):

| Weighted average common shares outstanding, basic and diluted | 65,282,527 | 61,418,804 | 65,135,585 | 60,740,533 |
| Weighted average pre-funded warrants outstanding, basic and diluted | 15,166,878 | 11,640,594 | 15,163,355 | 11,168,430 |
| Total weighted average common stock outstanding, basic and diluted | 80,449,405 | 73,059,398 | 80,298,940 | 71,908,963 |
| Net loss per share: | ||||
| Net loss per share, basic and diluted | $(0.95) | $(0.58) | $(1.77) | $(1.26) |
The Company’s potentially dilutive securities, which include restricted stock and stock options, 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 from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders at June 30, 2025 and 2024 because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:
| Six Months EndedJune 30, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Unvested restricted stock | 1,275,001 | 636,585 |
| Options to purchase common stock | 10,954,981 | 9,902,836 |
| Total | 12,229,982 | 10,539,421 |
- Segment Reporting
The Company operates and manages its business asone reportable segment andone operating segment, which is dedicated to reinventing the treatment of human disease through the development of innovative, highly differentiated medicines that address significant health problems and that meaningfully improve patients’ lives. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, or CODM, is the chief executive officer. The CODM assesses performance for the segment and decides how to allocate resources based on consolidated net loss that is also reported on the consolidated statements of operations.
The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total consolidated assets. All material long-lived assets are located in the United States. Long-lived assets consist of property and equipment, net, and operating lease right-of-use assets.
The chief operating decision maker uses net loss to monitor budget versus actual results and to analyze cash flows in assessing performance of the segment and allocating resources.
Factors used in determining the reportable segment include the nature of the Company’s operating activities, the organizational and reporting structure and the type of information reviewed by the CODM to allocate resources and evaluate financial performance. The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in Note 2 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.
