Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
- Formation and Business of the Company
The Company
Pulmonx Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of California in December 1995 as Pulmonx and reincorporated in the state of Delaware in December 2013. The Company is a commercial-stage medical technology company that provides a minimally invasive treatment for patients with severe emphysema, a form of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (“COPD”). The Company’s solution, which is comprised of the Zephyr Endobronchial Valve (“Zephyr Valve”), the Chartis Pulmonary Assessment System (“Chartis System”) and the LungTraX Platform, is designed to treat a broad pool of patients for whom medical management has reached its limits and either do not want or are ineligible for surgical approaches. The Company has subsidiaries in Germany, Switzerland, Australia, the United Kingdom, Italy, France, Hong Kong and Japan.
Liquidity and Going Concern
The Company has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations to date and has an accumulated deficit of $482.0 million as of March 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, the Company used $13.2 million and $11.8 million of cash in its operating activities, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $88.7 million. Historically, the Company’s activities have been financed through the sale of its products, the sale of equity securities, and debt financing arrangements.
The Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the Company continuing as a going concern for the next 12 months. Management believes that the Company’s existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will allow the Company to continue its planned operations for at least the next 12 months from the date of the issuance of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative U.S. GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2025 and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), for interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on February 25, 2025. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2025 and condensed consolidated results of operations and condensed consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Although these estimates are based on the Company’s knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately materially differ from these estimates and assumptions.
Significant estimates and assumptions include reserves and write-downs related to inventories, classification of short-term and long-term inventories, the recoverability of long-term assets, stock-based compensation, goodwill, deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances and impact of contingencies.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and consideration of default and credit risk, the carrying value of the term loan approximates their fair value. The fair value of marketable debt securities is estimated using Level 1 and Level 2 inputs (Note 4).
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents balances with established financial institutions and, at times, such balances with any one financial institution may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured limits. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company also had cash on deposit with foreign banks of approximately $5.2 million and $5.8 million, respectively, that was not federally insured.
The Company earns revenue primarily from the sale of its products to hospitals and other customers such as distributors. Sales of Zephyr Valves and delivery catheters accounted for most of the Company’s revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024. The Company’s accounts receivable are derived from revenue earned from customers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally requires no collateral from its customers. The Company had one customer that accounted for 10% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025. That same customer accounted for 17% of accounts receivable as of March 31, 2025. No other customers accounted for more than 10% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 or March 31, 2024, or more than 10% of accounts receivable as of March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
The Company relies on single source suppliers for the components, sub-assemblies and materials for its products. These components, sub-assemblies and materials are critical and there are no or relatively few alternative sources of supply. The Company’s suppliers have generally met the Company’s demand for their products and services on a timely basis in the past.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction Gains and Losses
The functional currencies of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries in Switzerland, Germany, Australia, the United Kingdom, France and Hong Kong are the Swiss franc. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries in Italy and Japan is the Euro and Yen, respectively. Accordingly, asset and liability accounts of Switzerland, France, Germany, Australia, the United Kingdom, Italy, Hong Kong and Japan operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and equity accounts are translated into U.S. dollars using historical rates. The revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates in effect during the period, and gains and losses from foreign currency translation adjustments are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and was $0.1 million and $(0.5) million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in other income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and was $0.1 million and $0.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
Credit Losses—Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at the amounts billed less estimated allowances for credit losses for any potential uncollectible amounts. The Company continually monitors customer payments and maintains an allowance for estimated losses resulting from a customer’s inability to make required payments. The Company considers factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of the accounts receivable balances, geographic related risks and economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. Accounts receivable are written-off and charged against an allowance for credit losses when the Company has exhausted collection efforts without success. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, accounts receivable is presented net of an allowance for credit losses of less than $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively.
Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding during the period, without consideration of potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common stock and potentially dilutive securities assuming the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, unvested restricted stock units, and shares issuable related to the ESPP. Because the Company has reported a net loss for all periods presented, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share for those periods.
- Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The
Company adopted ASU 2023-09 as of January 1, 2025 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disclosure in the notes to the financial statements of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU, or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
All other newly issued accounting pronouncements not yet effective have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.
- Fair Value Measurements
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the consolidated financial statements are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels which are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to the valuation of these assets or liabilities are as follows:
Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2—Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value.
Assets and Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis—Financial assets and liabilities held by the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basis include money market funds and marketable securities.
Assets and Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis—The Company determines the fair value of long-lived assets held and used by reference to independent appraisals, quoted market prices (e.g., an offer to purchase) and other factors. An impairment charge is recorded when the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. There have been no impairment charges recorded to date. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and consideration of default and credit risk, the carrying value of the term loan approximates the fair value. The fair value of the term loan is estimated using Level 2 inputs.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability.

- Long Term Debt
CIBC Loan
In February 2020, the Company executed a Loan and Security Agreement with Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (“CIBC”), which the Company subsequently amended in April 2020 and December 2020 (as amended, the “CIBC Agreement”). The CIBC Agreement originally provided the Company with the ability to borrow up to $32.0 million in debt financing (“CIBC Loan”) consisting of $17.0 million advanced at the closing of the agreement (“Tranche A”), with the option to draw up to an additional $8.0 million (“Tranche B”) and an additional financing tranche (“Tranche C”) of up to $7.0 million on or prior to February 20, 2022. Neither Tranche B nor Tranche C was drawn before the option expired. The CIBC Loan originally had afive-year term maturing on February 20, 2025, which included 24 months of interest only payments followed by 36 months of equal payments of principal and interest. In April 2020, the Company entered into a First Amendment to CIBC Agreement that changed the maturity date to March 15, 2022.
In March 2021, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with CIBC (as amended, the “Amended and Restated CIBC Agreement”) which, among other things, extended the loan maturity date of the CIBC Loan from March 15, 2022 to February 20, 2025, and modified certain financial covenants. Per the amended terms,36 equal payments of principal plus accrued interest would be due beginning March 31, 2022.
In October 2021, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated CIBC Agreement, which extended the interest only period of the loan from 24 months to 36 months. Under the amended terms, principal repayment will begin in February 2023.
In October 2022, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to the Amended and Restated CIBC Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) with CIBC, which amended certain provisions of the CIBC Loan. The amendment provided the option to draw up to an additional $20.0 million (“Amended Tranche B”) on or prior to October 31, 2023, which can be drawn in increments of at least $5.0 million. Upon request by the Company, CIBC may, in its sole discretion, make additional term loans of up to $10.0 million (“Amended Tranche C”) at any time. The Third Amendment extended the maturity date of the CIBC Loan from February 20, 2025 to October 31, 2027 and provided for a new interest only period of 24 months from the signing date of the Third Amendment, with the possibility of an additional extension of such interest only period of up to 12 months, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Third Amendment.
In February 2023, the Company drew $20.0 million of the Amended Tranche B which has the same interest rate and repayment terms as Tranche A of the CIBC Loan.
In May 2024, as a result of satisfying certain conditions set forth in the Third Amendment, the Company extended the interest-only period of the CIBC Loan from 24 months to 36 months. Principal repayment will begin in November 2025. There was no change to the loan interest rate, maturity date, or other terms of the loan.
Upon draw of the Amended Tranche B, the financial covenants in the Amended and Restated CIBC Agreement require that, when the cash and cash equivalents of the Company as defined in the Amended and Restated CIBC Agreement is less than $100.0 million, the Company have revenue for the trailing three-month period ending on the last day of each fiscal quarter of not less than 80.0% of the revenue for the trailing three-month period, as set forth in the annual projections delivered to the CIBC. Further, the Company is required to maintain unrestricted cash in an aggregate amount equal to the greater of $20.0 million and the Adjusted EBITDA loss as defined in the Amended and Restated CIBC Agreement for thesix-month period ending on any date of determination. As of March 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in the Amended and Restated CIBC Agreement.
The CIBC Loan bears interest at a floating rate equal to 1.0% above the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate at any time. The CIBC Loan is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, intellectual property and equipment. The Company may prepay the borrowings under the Amended and Restated CIBC Agreement, subject to certain conditions, including a prepayment fee equal to 2.0% of the principal amount repaid during the first year after the effective date of the Third Amendment or 1.0% of the principal amount prepaid during the second year after the effective date of the Third Amendment. As of March 31, 2025, the CIBC Loan had an annual effective interest rate of 9.0% per year.
The CIBC Loan consists of the following (in thousands):
| March 31, | December 31, | |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Term loan | $37,000 | $37,000 |

| Long-term debt | 29,204 | 33,818 |
| Total term loan | $36,912 | $36,901 |
The Company paid $0.5 million fees to the lender and third parties which is reflected as a discount on the CIBC Loan and is being accreted over the life of the term loan using the effective interest method.
During each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, the Company recorded interest expense related to debt discount and debt issuance costs of the CIBC Loan of less than $0.1 million.
Interest expense on the CIBC Loan was $0.8 million and $0.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
Credit Agreement
In May 2020, Pulmonx International Sàrl, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, received 0.5 million Swiss Francs ($0.5 million U.S. dollar equivalent) from a COVID-19 Credit Agreement under a Swiss Federal Government program designed to mitigate the economic impact of the spread of the coronavirus. The COVID-19 Credit Agreement bore no interest through March 31, 2023. Beginning April 1, 2023, the COVID-19 Credit Agreement bears interest at a rate of 1.5% per year, payable at the end of each calendar quarter. The loan principal is being repaid intwelve equal installments, paid semi-annually, which began in March of 2022. Interest expense was immaterial during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, Pulmonx International Sàrl has repaid $0.3 million to the lender.

The Company has a lease for its headquarters location in Redwood City, California, which consists of approximately 24,591 square feet of office space (the “existing premises”) and was scheduled to expire on July 31, 2025 (the “Office Lease”). The Company leases additional facilities in Redwood City, California, under a sublease agreement, which consist of approximately 25,254 square feet of office space (the “expansion premises”) and was scheduled to expire on September 30, 2024 (the “Sublease”).
In the second quarter of 2024, the Company entered into a third amendment to Sublease (the “Third Amendment to Sublease”) to extend the lease term of the expansion premises through May 31, 2028. The Third Amendment to Sublease contains a rent-free period between November 1, 2024 and February 28, 2025, after which rent is approximately $0.1 million per month and is subject to an annual increase of approximately 3%.
The Company also entered into a third amendment to Office Lease (the “Third Amendment to Office Lease”) to extend the lease term of the existing premises through July 31, 2035. The Third Amendment to Office Lease contains a rent-free period between August 1, 2025 and November 30, 2025, after which rent is approximately $0.1 million per month and is subject to an annual increase of approximately 3.5%.

Contingencies
From time to time, the Company may be a party to various litigation claims in the normal course of business. Legal fees and other costs associated with such actions are expensed as incurred.

Accrual estimates are recorded when and if it is determinable that such a liability for litigation and contingencies are both probable and reasonably estimable.
In December 2022, the Company received a civil investigative demand (“CID”) from the U.S. Department of Justice (“USDOJ”), Civil Division in connection with an investigation under the Anti-Kickback Statute and False Claims Act. The CID requested information and documents regarding the Company’s relationships with certain health care providers, medical practices, and hospitals in connection with the sales and marketing of the Zephyr Valves and related products and services. The Company provided the USDOJ with documents and answers to written interrogatories. In March 2025, the USDOJ informed the Company that its investigation was based on a lawsuit brought by an individual plaintiff under federal and state False Claims Acts (the “Qui Tam Action”), and that the United States and the various states named in the lawsuit were electing not to intervene or pursue the matter further. As a result of the USDOJ filing a Notice of Election to Decline Intervention, the Court unsealed the Qui Tam Action. The Company is unable to express a view at this time as to when the Qui Tam Action may be resolved or what impact, if any, the outcome of this matter might have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
