Foreign Currency Translation Gain (Loss)
Current report
Service revenue was $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $10.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease of $10.5 million was due to decreased activity of PPQ services under the Asset Purchase Agreement and related agreements as the work was substantially completed as of September 30, 2025.
Current report
Cost of service revenue was $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $12.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease of $11.7 million was due to decreased activity of PPQ services under the Asset Purchase Agreement and related agreements as the work was substantially completed as of September 30, 2025.
Current report
Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $32.5 million, compared to $26.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase of $6.3 million was primarily due to an increase in manufacturing costs due to both a lower allocation of clinical trial material batch costs to our clinical programs and a lower allocation of costs to cost of service revenue reflecting PPQ services provided under the Asset Purchase Agreement and related agreements being substantially complete by September 30, 2025. Other cost increases arose in our clinical programs for other ocular diseases, primarily due to an increase in manufactured clinical trial material batches related to these programs, and our preclinical programs for gene regulation reflecting preclinical studies initiated during the three months ended September 30, 2025. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in our AAV-hAQP1 program due to the required clinical trial material being substantially manufactured in the prior year.

RMAT Designation:
Previous report
The requirements for receiving an RMAT designation include that the drug candidate is an advanced regenerative medicine, in this case a gene therapy; that the therapy is targeting a serious condition, in this case, Parkinson’s disease; and that the applicant has presented clinical evidence demonstrating that the drug candidate has the potential to address an unmet need in the serious condition. The RMAT requirement for clinical data supporting a benefit in an unmet need is a high hurdle, with less than half of all RMAT designation applications granted.
Previous report
RMAT designation includes the benefits of Fast Track and Breakthrough Therapy designations with rolling review and potential Priority Review of a product’s BLA. RMAT designation also allows for increased interaction with the FDA and immediate multidisciplinary comprehensive discussions of the ongoing product development program, clinical trials and plans for expediting the manufacturing development strategy, both clinical and CMC.

Based on our cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable – related party and tax incentive receivable at June 30, 2025, together with the $17.0 million deposit received from Hologen Limited during the third quarter 2025 and the remaining proceeds from the anticipated closing of the strategic collaboration with Hologen Limited as described below, we estimate that such funds will be sufficient to enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into 2027 and to repay our debt obligation of $75.0 million to Perceptive (due in August 2026). This estimate does not include the $285.0 million in milestones we are eligible to receive under the Asset Purchase Agreement upon first commercial sale of an RPGR Product in the United States and in at least one of the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain and Italy, for completion of the transfer of certain manufacturing technology to Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine and upon regulatory approval of a Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine-selected manufacturing facility in each of the United States and European Union, or EU, for commercial manufacture of the RPGR Product. We have based these estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we may use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources.” Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of our product candidates, any future product candidates, our platform and technology and because the extent to which we may enter into collaborations with third parties for development of any of our product candidates is unknown, we are unable to estimate the amounts of increased capital outlays and operating expenses associated with completing the research and development of our product candidates.

Previous wording
Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were $66.3 million, compared to $69.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease of $3.0 million was primarily due to a decrease of $10.8 million in manufacturing costs primarily due to a reclassification of batch costs to the AAV-GAD program and reclassification of cost of service revenue due to progress of PPQ services provided under the Asset Purchase Agreement and related agreements, a decrease of $1.1 million related to the bota-vec program as Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine is now primarily funding the expenses related to this program as a result of the Asset Purchase Agreement, a decrease of $0.1 million related to gene regulation research costs, and a decrease of $3.4 million in other research and development costs. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $6.8 million in clinical trial expenses primarily due to an increase in costs associated with our AAV-GAD program, an increase of $1.3 million for the AAV-hAQP1 program, an increase of $1.1 million in other ocular diseases, an increase of $0.9 million in preclinical ocular diseases, a reduction in a prior period credit of $0.4 million for the AAV-CNBGB3 and AAV-CNBGA3 programs, and a reduction in reimbursements from Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine of $1.9 million.
Current wording
Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $98.8 million, compared to $95.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase of $3.3 million was primarily due to an increase in costs associated with our AAV-GAD program and other ocular diseases, both reflecting increased clinical trial material manufactured in the period. Other cost increases also arose in our preclinical programs for ocular diseases and gene regulation reflecting preclinical studies initiated in the period. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in costs related to our AAV-hAQP1 program due to the required clinical trial material being substantially manufactured in the prior year, a decrease in other research and development expenses due to a decrease in share-based compensation expenses and a decrease in costs related to the bota-vec program as Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine is now primarily funding the expenses related to this program as a result of the Asset Purchase Agreement.
