ITEM 7.** MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION****S**

Current report

Our proprietary pipeline also includes an early research initiative to develop a non-viral therapeutic that leverages our proprietary Voyager NeuroShuttle TM platform for the treatment of an undisclosed neurological disease. We paused investment in our apolipoprotein E, or APOE, gene therapy program to prioritize other programs. The decision is unrelated to data from the program, which have demonstrated dose-dependent APOE4 protein reduction and APOE2 protein expression in murine studies while maintaining total APOE at physiological levels.

Current report

In addition to our wholly-owned pipeline, we are advancing three programs with collaboration partners for which we retain options to participate in future development and commercialization. Two of these programs are in collaboration with Neurocrine: a frataxin (FXN) gene therapy program for FA, which we refer to as the FA Program, and a glucosylceramidase beta 1, or GBA1, gene therapy program that will focus on Gaucher and PD, which we refer to as the GBA1 Program. Neurocrine has stated that, pending successful FDA IND clearance, it intends to initiate a clinical trial with NBIB-’223 for FA in the second half of 2026. In preclinical studies, IV-administered NBIB-’223 resulted in protein expression in the brain and heart. Neurocrine has informed us that it continues to progress the GBA1 Program in addition to three gene therapy programs for which we do not have opt-in rights. We maintain an option to co-develop and co-commercialize 40% of the FA Program and 50% of the GBA1 Program for PD in the U.S.

Current report

Our third opt-in program is our collaboration with Transition Bio to develop selective small molecules for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, and frontotemporal dementia with TDP-43 pathology. We have an option for an exclusive license to the worldwide rights to develop and commercialize this program.

Current report

In addition to the three partnered programs for which we retain opt-in rights, we have entered into multiple additional collaboration and licensing agreements with collaboration partners.

Current report

We have leveraged our knowledge of BBB receptors, discovered using TRACER, to develop a second delivery platform called Voyager NeuroShuttle TM. Voyager NeuroShuttle is a non-viral delivery platform leveraging novel receptor-binding molecules to transport multiple modalities of neurotherapeutics across the blood-brain barrier. The first NeuroShuttle within the platform leverages the ALPL receptor. During the third quarter of 2025, we shared the results of initial murine proof-of-concept studies of ALPL-VYGR-NeuroShuttle demonstrating in the study sustained brain expression over three weeks, compared to less than one week for transferrin receptor, or TfR, shuttles, with no impact on circulating reticulocytes or downstream measurements of anemia. In addition to the initial murine proof-of-concept data provided for the ALPL-VYGR-NeuroShuttle, a proof-of-concept study using anti-amyloid antibodies demonstrated that the ALPL-NeuroShuttle showed similar target engagement to a TfR shuttle. We initiated a discovery program using ALPL-VYGR-NeuroShuttle to target an undisclosed neurological disease.

Current report

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the restructurings in June 2025 and December 2025 resulted in restructuring expenses of $4.3 million. Employees impacted by the restructurings were eligible to receive one-time severance benefits, including cash severance, temporary health care coverage, and transition support services, subject to each employee entering into a separation agreement, which included a general release of claims against the company. Restructuring expenses are recorded as either research and development expense or general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Current report

Collaboration revenue was $40.4 million and $80.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we recognized collaboration revenue in connection with the following agreements:

Current report

Research and development expense increased by $7.3 million from $127.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, to $134.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The following table summarizes our research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

Current report

General and administrative expense increased by $1.6 million from $35.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $37.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase in general and administrative expense was primarily attributable to $0.9 million in increased consulting fees and $1.1 million in employee-related costs primarily associated with the restructurings completed in June 2025 and December 2025, offset by $0.4 million in lower legal fees.

Current report

Net cash provided by investing activities was $125.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2025. The cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025, was primarily due to $262.0 million in proceeds from maturities and sales of marketable securities, partially offset by $133.9 million in purchases of marketable securities and $2.6 million in purchases of property and equipment.

Previous report

We are also working with our collaboration partners on multiple programs. We are advancing seven gene therapy programs with Neurocrine. Development candidates were selected for three of these programs in 2024, resulting in milestone payments to us. We expect that Neurocrine will submit IND filings in 2025 for the two most advanced of these programs, a glucosylceramidase beta 1, or GBA1, gene therapy program for Parkinson’s disease and other GBA1-mediated diseases, or the GBA1 Program, and a frataxin, or FXN, gene therapy program for FA, or the FA Program. These two programs are particularly significant to us for two reasons: the subsequent clinical trials of these programs have the potential to establish human proof-of-concept for the TRACER Capsids, and we have the option to opt-in on co-development and co-commercialization in the United States. for both products. In addition to the Neurocrine collaborations, we have partnered with Novartis on TRACER Capsid-based gene therapies for spinal muscular atrophy

Previous report

Net cash used in operating activities was $12.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. The cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2022 was primarily driven by operating expenses, net of stock-based compensation and depreciation, offset by an increase in deferred revenue partially driven by the upfront payment of $54.0 million from Novartis in connection with our entry into the 2022 Novartis Option and License Agreement during the year ended December 31, 2022.

Previous report

Net cash used in investing activities was $7.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. The cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2022 was primarily due to $54.8 million for purchases of marketable securities and $2.5 million for purchases of property and equipment, offset by $50.0 million from proceeds from maturities and sales of marketable securities.

Previous report

As of June 30, 2024, we ceased to qualify as a smaller reporting company, which requires us to comply with disclosure requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not smaller reporting companies following the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2024, and any portions of our definitive proxy statement relating to our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders incorporated by reference therein.
Reworded paragraphs (26)

Previous wording

We are a biotechnology company whose mission is to leverage the power of human genetics to modify the course of and ultimately cure neurological diseases. Our pipeline includes programs for Alzheimer’s disease, or AD; Friedreich’s ataxia, or FA; Parkinson’s disease; and multiple other diseases of the central nervous system, or CNS. Many of our programs are derived from our TRACER™ (Tropism Redirection of AAV by Cell-type-specific Expression of RNA) adeno-associated virus, or AAV, capsid discovery platform, which we have used to generate novel capsids, or TRACER Capsids, and identify associated receptors to potentially enable high brain penetration with genetic medicines following intravenous, or IV, dosing. Some of our programs are wholly-owned, and some are advancing with licensees and collaborators including Alexion, AstraZeneca Rare Disease, or Alexion; Novartis Pharma AG, or Novartis; and Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc., or Neurocrine.

Previous wording

We are advancing our own proprietary pipeline of drug candidates for neurological diseases, with a focus on AD, and particularly on tau, which we view as a critically important AD target. Our wholly-owned prioritized pipeline includes two tau targeting programs: VY7523 (which we formerly referred to as VY-TAU01), an anti-tau antibody for AD and VY1706, a tau silencing gene therapy for AD. The murine version of VY7523 reduced tau spread by more than 60% in preclinical studies. VY7523 demonstrated an acceptable safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity profile as well as expected pharmacokinetic results in a Phase 1, single ascending dose, or SAD, clinical trial in healthy volunteers. In February 2025, we initiated a Phase 1 multiple ascending dose, or MAD, clinical trial of VY7523 in early AD patients. We believe this trial has the potential to generate proof-of-concept data for slowing the spread of pathological tau via tau positron emission tomography imaging in the second half of 2026. VY1706 was selected as the development candidate for the tau silencing gene therapy in November 2024. In a non-human primate, or NHP, study, a single 1.3E13 vector genomes per kilogram dose of VY1706 delivered intravenously resulted in reductions in tau mRNA levels of 50% to 73% across the cerebral cortex, including in areas of the brain where tau accumulates during progression of AD. We anticipate submission of an investigational new drug, or IND, for the VY1706 program in 2026. Our proprietary pipeline also includes early research initiatives to develop a vectorized anti-amyloid antibody for AD and a vectorized superoxide dismutase 1, or SOD1, knockdown gene therapy for SOD1 amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Current wording

We are advancing our own proprietary pipeline of drug candidates for neurological diseases, with a focus on AD. Our wholly-owned prioritized pipeline includes two tau targeting programs: VY1706, a tau silencing gene therapy for AD, and VY7523, an anti-tau antibody for AD. VY1706 is a gene therapy that leverages an intravenously delivered TRACER Capsid containing a vectorized small interfering RNA specifically targeting tau mRNA. In a non-human primate, or NHP, study, a single 1.3E13 vector genomes per kilogram, or vg/kg, dose of VY1706 delivered intravenously resulted in reductions in tau mRNA levels of 50% to 73% across the cerebral cortex, including in areas of the brain where tau accumulates during the progression of AD. We expect to complete a good laboratory practices, or GLP, toxicology study in the first quarter of 2026. Having had a Type C communication with the FDA in the first quarter of 2026, we anticipate the submission of an investigational new drug, or IND, application in the second quarter of 2026 and initiation of a clinical trial for the VY1706 program in the second half of 2026. VY7523 is an IV-administered, recombinant, humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody developed to inhibit the spread of pathological tau, which is closely correlated with disease progression and cognitive decline in AD. The murine version of VY7523 reduced tau spread by approximately 70% in preclinical studies. VY7523 demonstrated an acceptable safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity profile as well as expected pharmacokinetic results in a Phase 1, single ascending dose, or SAD, clinical trial in healthy volunteers. In February 2025, we initiated a Phase 1 multiple ascending dose, or MAD, clinical trial of VY7523 in early AD patients. We expect initial tau positron emission tomography, or PET, imaging data in the second half of 2026.

and Huntington’s disease. We have also licensed capsids to Novartis for three undisclosed CNS targets and to Alexion for one undisclosed rare neurological disease target. In total, these partnerships have delivered more than $500.0 million in non-dilutive funding to us to date, including upfront fees, development milestone payments, option exercise fees, license fees, and research and development expense reimbursement. Looking forward, we have the potential to earn up to $8.2 billion in milestone payments across the partnered portfolio, including $2.9 billion in potential development milestone payments, as well as royalties.

Current wording

We are collaborating with Neurocrine on three gene therapy programs against undisclosed targets. Two of these three programs have development candidates selected and are advancing through preclinical toxicology studies. In addition to the Neurocrine collaborations, we have partnered with Novartis on TRACER Capsid-based gene therapies for spinal muscular atrophy and Huntington’s disease. We have also licensed capsids to Alexion for one undisclosed rare neurological disease target and to Novartis for one undisclosed CNS target. In total, our partnerships have delivered more than $500.0 million in non-dilutive funding to us to date, including upfront fees, development milestone payments, option exercise fees, license fees, and research and development expense reimbursement. Looking forward, we have the potential to earn up to $6.8 billion in milestone payments across the partnered portfolio, including $2.4 billion in potential development milestone payments, as well as royalties.

Previous wording

All of the gene therapies in our wholly-owned and collaborative pipeline leverage TRACER. TRACER is a broadly applicable, RNA-based screening platform that enables rapid discovery of AAV capsids with robust penetration of the blood-brain barrier, or BBB, and enhanced CNS tropism in multiple species, including NHPs. We are also developing a second non-viral therapeutics platform focused on non-viral receptor-mediated transport across the BBB.

Current wording

All of the gene therapies in our wholly-owned and collaborative pipeline are delivered intravenously leveraging TRACER capsids. TRACER is a broadly applicable, RNA-based screening platform that enables rapid discovery of AAV capsids with robust penetration of the blood-brain barrier, or BBB, and enhanced CNS tropism in multiple species, including NHPs. We subsequently utilized these BBB-penetrant capsids to identify the receptors by which the capsids enter the BBB. We have identified multiple receptors, including alkaline phosphatase, or ALPL, that are capable of transporting a large biologic molecule, such as a capsid, across the BBB.

We estimate the transaction price based on the amount expected to be received for transferring the promised goods or services in the contract. The consideration may include fixed consideration and/or variable consideration. At the inception of each arrangement that includes variable consideration, we evaluate the amount of potential payment and the likelihood that the payments will be received. We utilize either the most likely amount method or expected amount method to estimate the amount expected to be received based on which method best predicts the amount expected to be received. The amount of variable consideration which is included in the transaction price may be constrained, and is included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future period.

Our contracts often include development and regulatory milestone payments which are assessed under the most likely amount method and constrained if it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would occur. Milestone payments that are not within our control or the licensee’s control, such as regulatory approvals, are not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received. At the end of each reporting period, we re-evaluate the probability of achievement of such development milestones and any related constraint, and if necessary, adjust our estimate of the overall transaction price. Given the nature of the milestone payments in our contracts with customers, most of the variable consideration is subject to a constraint that does not involve significant judgement.

We allocate the transaction price based on the estimated stand-alone selling price of each of the performance obligations. We must develop assumptions that require judgment to determine the stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation identified in the contract. We utilize key assumptions to determine the stand-alone selling price for performance obligations, which may include other comparable transactions, pricing considered in negotiating the transaction and the estimated costs. Additionally, in determining the standalone selling price for material rights, we utilize comparable transactions, industry standards for product development and clinical trial success probabilities and estimates of option exercise likelihood. We do not believe that reasonable changes in the assumptions used to determine stand-alone selling price for our performance obligations would materially impact the amount of revenue we recognize.

A significant portion of revenue recognized from the 2019 Neurocrine Collaboration Agreement and the 2023 Neurocrine Collaboration Agreement is related to performance obligations pursuant to which revenue is recognized using a proportional performance model. Revenue is recognized using input-based measurements, which involves the measurement of progress toward each performance obligation based on the actual costs incurred compared to total projected costs. We use judgement in estimating the expected remaining costs to complete the research and development services for each performance obligation based on discussions with the Joint Steering Committee for the program and discussions with our collaboration partners. We evaluate the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjust the measure and related revenue recognition. Changes in our estimates of the expected remaining costs to complete the research and development services for our performance obligations can result in significant changes to the amount of revenue we recognize each period.

Previous wording

Our expenses increased during the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared with the prior year as our development programs progressed and we increased headcount. We expect our expenses to continue to increase as we continue the research and development of, conduct clinical trials of, and seek marketing approval for our product candidates including our Phase 1 MAD clinical trial to evaluate VY7523 in 2025, and as we continue to enter into or conduct activities in connection with our collaboration agreements. In addition, if we obtain marketing approval for any of our product candidates, we expect to incur significant expenses related to program sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution to the extent that such sales, marketing and distribution are not the responsibility of potential collaborators. Furthermore, we expect to incur increasing costs associated with operating as a public company, executing financial statement controls, satisfying regulatory and quality standards, fulfilling healthcare compliance requirements, and maintaining product, clinical trial and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage. We also anticipate the cost of goods and services and the levels of compensation paid to employees will increase due to inflationary conditions existing in the general economy. Accordingly, we will need to obtain substantial additional funding in connection with our continuing operations. If we are unable to raise capital or enter into business development transactions when needed or on acceptable terms, we could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our research and development programs or any future commercialization efforts.

To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or equity-linked securities, including convertible debt, our stockholders’ ownership interests will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect our existing stockholders’ rights as holders of our common stock.
