Former Enliven funded its operations primarily through private placements of its convertible preferred stock and sale of common stock, raising aggregate gross proceeds of $140.5 million from these private placements and an aggregate of $164.5 million in gross proceeds from the sale of common stock in the Former Enliven pre-closing financing (the “Financing Transaction”). In March 2024, we sold in a private placement (the "Private Placement") common stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of our common stock, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of $90.0 million, and in June 2025, we completed an underwritten public offering (the "Public Offering") of common stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of our common stock, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of $230.0 million. Through June 30, 2025, we have sold shares of our common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement and received gross proceeds of $40.0 million. As of June 30, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $490.5 million. Based on our current operating plan, our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund our planned operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months from the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q.

Previous wording

As of June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $297.4 million. We have incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception, including net losses of $89.0 million and $71.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $53.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. We expect that our operating losses and negative operating cash flows will continue for the foreseeable future as we continue to develop our product candidates.

Current wording

As of September 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $317.5 million. We have incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception, including net losses of $89.0 million and $71.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $74.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. We expect that our operating losses and negative operating cash flows will continue for the foreseeable future as we continue to develop our product candidates.

Previous wording

We do not have any products approved for commercial sale, and we have not generated any revenue from product sales or other sources. Our ability to generate product revenue sufficient to achieve and maintain profitability will depend upon the successful development and eventual commercialization of one or more of our product candidates, which we expect, if it ever occurs, will take many years. We will therefore require substantial additional capital to develop our product candidates and support our continuing operations. Accordingly, until such time that we can generate a sufficient amount of revenue from product sales or other sources, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through equity or debt financings, loans or other capital sources, which could include income from collaborations, partnerships or other marketing, distribution, licensing or other strategic arrangements with third parties, or from grants. However, we may be unable to raise additional capital from these sources on favorable terms, or at all. Our failure to obtain sufficient capital on acceptable terms when needed could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition, including requiring us to delay, reduce or curtail our research, product development or future commercialization efforts. We may also be required to license rights to product candidates at an earlier stage of development or on less favorable terms than we would otherwise choose. We cannot provide assurance that we will ever generate positive cash flow from operating activities.
