Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements
- Description of the Business
ORIC Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (ORIC or the Company) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to improving patients’ lives by Overcoming Resistance In Cancer. The Company was incorporated in Delaware in August 2014 and has offices in South San Francisco and San Diego, California. The Company’s principal operations are in the United States and the Company operates inone segment.
Since inception, the Company has devoted its primary efforts to raising capital, internal research and development activities and business development efforts, and has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. In August 2020, the Company licensed from Mirati Therapeutics, Inc. (Mirati) development and commercialization rights to an allosteric inhibitor program directed towards the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) and in October 2020, the Company licensed from Voronoi Inc. (Voronoi) development and commercialization rights to a brain-penetrant, orally bioavailable, irreversible inhibitor designed to selectively target epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) with high potency against exon 20 insertion mutations.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $661.7 million. Through September 30, 2025, all of the Company’s financial support has been provided by proceeds from the issuance of common stock and convertible preferred stock.
As the Company continues its expansion, it may seek additional financing and/or strategic investments, however, there can be no assurance that any additional financing or strategic investments will be available to the Company on acceptable terms, if at all. If events or circumstances occur such that the Company does not obtain additional funding, it will most likely be required to reduce its plans and/or certain discretionary spending, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve its intended business objectives. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if it were unable to continue as a going concern. Management believes that it has sufficient working capital on hand to fund operations through at least the next twelve months from the date of the issuance of these financial statements.
Strategic Pipeline Prioritization
On August 12, 2025, the Company announced a strategic pipeline prioritization to focus operational and financial resources on the continued advancement of its two lead clinical programs, ORIC-944 and enozertinib (formerly ORIC-114). This initiative has resulted in a substantial decrease in preclinical research, primarily from the elimination of the Company’s discovery research group. This resulted in an approximately 20% workforce reduction and the Company has incurred a one-time cost of approximately $1.9 million primarily related to termination benefits, including severance and healthcare-related benefits. The workforce reduction was substantially completed in the third quarter of 2025.
Private Placements

The purchase price per share represents a premium of approximately 18% to ORIC’s 10-day trailing volume-weighted average stock price as of deal signing on May 23, 2025. The pre-funded warrants have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share of common stock, were immediately exercisable and will remain exercisable until exercised in full. After deducting expenses related to the private placement of $0.6 million, the net proceeds to the Company from the private placement were $124.4 million.

The purchase price per share represents a premium to ORIC's 5-day trailing average stock price at the time of sale. After deducting expenses related to the private placement of $0.2 million, the net proceeds to the Company from the private placement were $124.8 million. The private placement closed on January 23, 2024. On January 26, 2024, the Company filed a Form S-3 registering the shares sold in the private placement.

Under the Voronoi License Agreement, Voronoi granted the Company an exclusive, sublicensable license under Voronoi’s rights to certain patent applications directed to certain small molecule compounds that bind to EGFR and HER2 with one or more exon 20 insertion mutations and certain related know-how, in each case, to develop and commercialize certain licensed compounds and licensed products incorporating any such compound in the ORIC Territory, defined as worldwide other than in the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. Pursuant to an amendment to the Voronoi License Agreement that the Company entered into with Voronoi on March 20, 2024, the Company also obtained the right to conduct and control certain clinical trials for the licensed products at specified clinical sites within Voronoi’s territory to support the development and commercialization of licensed products in the ORIC Territory.

The Company is not obligated to pay Mirati milestones or royalties.
Unless earlier terminated, the Mirati License Agreement will continue in effect on a country-by-country and licensed product-by-licensed product basis until the later of (a) the expiration of the last valid claim of a licensed patent covering such licensed product in such country or (b)ten years after the first commercial sale of such licensed product in such country. Following the expiration of the Mirati License Agreement, the Company will retain its licenses under the intellectual property Mirati licensed to it on a royalty-free basis. ORIC and Mirati may each terminate the Mirati License Agreement if the other party materially breaches the terms of such agreement, subject to specified notice and cure provisions, or enters into bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings.

- Fair Value Measurements
The accounting guidance defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the accounting guidance establishes a three-tier fair-value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s interest receivable, included in prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are generally considered to be representative of their fair value because of their short-term nature. The Company’s investments, which may include money market funds and available-for-sale investments consisting of U.S. treasury securities, certificates of deposit and high-quality, marketable debt instruments of corporations and government sponsored enterprises, are measured at fair value in accordance with the fair value hierarchy.
Following are the major categories of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):
