Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Current report

On November 19, 2025, we completed a follow-on public offering pursuant to which we sold 11,500,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $19.00 per share, including 1,500,000 shares sold pursuant to the underwriters’ full exercise of their option to purchase additional shares, resulting in aggregate net proceeds of $204.8 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering costs. Sales of our common stock were made under our shelf registration on Form S-3, which we initially filed with the SEC on January 6, 2025 and that was declared effective by the SEC on January 15, 2025.

Previous report

In combination, we are investigating palazestrant in multiple Phase 1/2 studies with CDK4/6 inhibitors (palbociclib or ribociclib), a PI3Ka inhibitor (alpelisib), and with an mTOR inhibitor (everolimus). In March 2024, we increased the size of the ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical study of palazestrant in combination with ribociclib by an additional 15 patients to explore 90 mg of palazestrant in combination with 600 mg of ribociclib. We also initiated our Phase 1b/2 clinical study of palazestrant in combination with an mTOR inhibitor, everolimus, in the third quarter of 2024. Further, in October 2024, we presented new non-clinical data at the EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics showing that the combination of palazestrant with both everolimus and capivasertib may be synergistic and have the potential to result in significant tumor regression.

Previous report

We conduct our research and development programs internally and through third parties that include, among others, arrangements with vendors, consultants, CMOs, and CROs. We have contractual arrangements in the normal course of business with these parties, however, our contracts with them are cancelable generally on reasonable notice within one year and our obligations under these contracts are primarily based on services performed. We included certain contracts that have significant cancellation penalties and are material, which make the continuation of these arrangements reasonable.
Reworded paragraphs (34)

Previous wording

Our lead product candidate, palazestrant, is a novel, orally-available small molecule with dual activity as both a CERAN and SERD, currently being investigated in patients with recurrent, locally advanced or metastatic ER+/HER2-, breast cancer. In non-clinical models, palazestrant binds and completely blocks ER-driven transcriptional activity in both wild-type and mutant forms of metastatic ER+ breast cancer. In clinical studies across more than 400 patients, palazestrant has demonstrated strong anti-tumor activity, attractive pharmacokinetics and prolonged drug exposure, favorable tolerability, and combinability with CDK4/6 inhibitors with no significant drug-drug interaction. Based on the clinical results we have achieved to date, we are advancing palazestrant through late-stage clinical development both as a monotherapy and in combination with other targeted agents.

Current wording

Our lead product candidate, palazestrant, is a novel, orally-available small molecule with dual activity as both a CERAN and SERD, currently being investigated in patients with recurrent, locally advanced or metastatic ER+/HER2- breast cancer. In pre-clinical models, palazestrant binds and completely blocks ER-driven transcriptional activity in both wild-type and mutant forms of ER+ MBC. In clinical studies across more than 400 patients, palazestrant has demonstrated strong anti-tumor activity, attractive pharmacokinetics and prolonged drug exposure, favorable tolerability, and combinability with CDK4/6 inhibitors with no significant drug-drug interaction. Based on the clinical results we have achieved to date, we are advancing palazestrant through late-stage clinical development both as a monotherapy and in combination with other targeted agents.

Previous wording

In November 2023, we initiated OPERA-01, the pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of palazestrant as a monotherapy in second/third-line ER+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer. We anticipate top-line results in 2026.

Current wording

In November 2023, we initiated OPERA-01, our pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of palazestrant as a monotherapy in second/third-line ER+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer. We anticipate top-line results for this trial in the fall of 2026, expect to submit the NDA in 2027, and, if successful, anticipate potential FDA approval and commercial launch in late 2027.

Previous wording

More recently, we presented updated results from the ongoing Phase 1b/2 clinical trial of palazestrant in combination with ribociclib in patients with ER+/HER2- advanced or metastatic breast cancer at SABCS in December 2024. In March 2025, we disclosed updated median PFS (mPFS) from this study at the TD Cowen 45th Annual Health Care Conference. As of a data cutoff date of February 18, 2025, the mPFS was 13.8 months in 56 patients treated with 120 mg of palazestrant and 600 mg of ribociclib daily. 40 of the 56 patients had received prior treatment of a CDK4/6i plus an ET; the mPFS in this population was 13.1 months.These data further support our thesis that palazestrant possesses key characteristics to make it a potential backbone endocrine therapy of preference for ER+/HER2- breast cancer, while also providing the basis for a new pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of palazestrant in combination with ribociclib in front-line ER+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer, called OPERA-02. The execution of OPERA-02 will be supported by our new clinical trial collaboration and supply agreement with Novartis, which was announced in December 2024. Under the terms of the agreement, Novartis will provide Olema with ribociclib drug supply for OPERA-02, which we expect to initiate in 2025.

Current wording

In combination, we are investigating palazestrant in multiple Phase 1/2 studies with CDK4/6 inhibitors (palbociclib or ribociclib), a phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase alpha inhibitor (alpelisib), an mTOR inhibitor (everolimus), and a CDK4 inhibitor (atirmociclib). In October 2025, at ESMO, we presented updated results from the ongoing Phase 1b/2 clinical trial of palazestrant in combination with ribociclib in patients with ER+/HER2- advanced or metastatic breast cancer. This data further support our thesis that palazestrant possesses key characteristics to make it a potential backbone endocrine therapy of preference for ER+/HER2- breast cancer, while also supporting the ongoing pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of palazestrant in combination with ribociclib in front-line ER+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer, called OPERA-02. The execution of OPERA-02 is supported by our clinical trial collaboration and supply agreement with Novartis Pharma AG (Novartis), which was also announced in December 2024. Under the terms of the agreement, Novartis is providing Olema with ribociclib drug supply for the OPERA-02 trial, which we initiated in 2025. We anticipate top-line data in 2028 and, if successful, anticipate potential FDA approval and commercial launch in the frontline MBC setting in the United States in 2029.

Previous wording

Our second product candidate in clinical development, called OP-3136, is a novel, orally-available small molecule that potently and selectively inhibits KAT6, an epigenetic target that is dysregulated in breast and other cancers. We believe OP-3136 presents a potential best-in-class KAT6 inhibitor in breast and other solid tumor cancers. In October 2024, we presented new non-clinical data at the EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics demonstrating OP-3136's robust anti-tumor activity as a single agent, as well as potential synergy and enhanced anti-tumor activity in combination with palazestrant. The IND application for OP-3136 was cleared by the U.S FDA in late 2024 and the Phase 1 clinical trial is now enrolling patients.

The IND application for OP-3136 was cleared by the FDA in late 2024, and the Phase 1 study is enrolling patients, and we expect to present the first clinical data from this program in the second quarter of 2026.

Previous wording

We have incurred significant operating losses since the commencement of our operations. Our net losses were $129.5 million and $96.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We expect to incur significant and increasing losses for the foreseeable future as we continue to advance our product candidates, make potential milestone payments to our licensors, and as we continue to operate as a public company. Our net losses may fluctuate significantly from period to period, depending on the timing of expenditures on our research and development activities. As of December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $435.1 million. Our primary use of cash is to fund operating expenses, which consist primarily of research and development expenditures and general and administrative expenditures. Cash used to fund operating expenses is impacted by the timing of when we pay these expenses, as reflected in the change in our outstanding accounts payable and other current liabilities.

We will require substantial additional funding to develop our product candidates and support our continuing operations beyond our current operating plans. Until such time that we can generate significant revenue from product sales or other sources, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through the sale of equity, debt financings or other capital sources, which could include income from collaborations, strategic partnerships or marketing, distribution, licensing or other strategic arrangements with third parties, or from grants. We may be unable to raise additional funds or to enter into such agreements or arrangements on favorable terms, or at all. Our ability to raise additional funds may be adversely impacted by potential worsening global economic conditions and volatility in, the credit and financial markets in the United States and worldwide resulting from geopolitical and macroeconomic conditions. Our failure to obtain sufficient funds on acceptable terms when needed could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition, including requiring us to have to delay, reduce or eliminate our product development or future commercialization efforts. Insufficient liquidity may also require us to relinquish rights to product candidates at an earlier stage of development or on less favorable terms than we would otherwise choose. The amount and timing of our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including the pace and results of our development efforts. We cannot provide assurance that we will ever be profitable or generate positive cash flow from operating activities.

Previous wording

Global economic and business activities continue to face widespread uncertainty due to the geopolitical and macroeconomic environment, generally, including economic uncertainty, market volatility, labor shortages, tariffs and trade tensions, the ongoing conflicts between Ukraine and Russia and in the Middle East, as well as any related political or economic responses and counter-responses or otherwise by various global actors, inflation rates and the responses by central banking authorities to control such inflation, monetary supply shifts, and related financial instability. The extent of the impact of these factors on our operational and financial performance, including our ability to execute our business strategies and initiatives in the expected time frame, will depend on future developments, which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. Any continued or renewed disruption resulting from these factors could negatively impact our business. We continue to monitor the impact of these geopolitical and macroeconomic factors on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Previous wording

While our research and development expenses may fluctuate from period to period, we generally expect our research and development expenses to increase substantially in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future as we advance palazestrant, OP-3136 or any other future product candidates we may develop into and through non-clinical studies and clinical trials and pursue regulatory approval of our product candidates. The process of conducting the necessary clinical research to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time-consuming. The actual probability of success for palazestrant, OP-3136 or any other future product candidates we may develop may be affected by a variety of factors including but not limited to: the safety and efficacy of our product candidates, early clinical data, investment in our clinical program, the ability of collaborators to successfully develop our licensed product candidates, competition, manufacturing capability and commercial viability. We may never succeed in achieving regulatory approval for our product candidates. As a result of the uncertainties discussed above, we are unable to determine the duration and completion costs of our research and development projects or when and to what extent we will generate revenue from the commercialization and sale of palazestrant, OP-3136 or any other future product candidates we may develop. Clinical and non-clinical development timelines, the probability of success and development costs can differ materially from expectations. We anticipate that we will make determinations as to which product candidates to pursue and how much funding to direct to each product candidate on an ongoing basis in response to the results of ongoing and future non-clinical studies and clinical trials, regulatory developments and our ongoing assessments as to each product candidate’s commercial potential. In addition, we cannot forecast whether palazestrant, OP-3136 or any other future product candidates we may develop may be subject to future collaborations, when such arrangements will be secured, if at all, and to what degree such arrangements would affect our development plans and capital requirements. We are also unable to predict when, if ever, we will generate revenue from our product candidates to offset these expenses. Our expenditures on current and future non-clinical and clinical development programs are subject to numerous uncertainties in timing and cost to completion. The duration, costs and timing of non-clinical studies and clinical trials and development of our product candidates will depend on a variety of factors, including:

Previous wording

Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $124.5 million, compared to $86.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase of $38.4 million was primarily due to (i) increased spending on clinical operations and development-related activities as we continue to advance palazestrant through late-stage clinical trials, (ii) other research and development activities associated with the advancement of our KAT6 inhibitor program, and (iii) personnel-related costs related to increased headcount, including an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $4.8 million.

Current wording

Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $157.7 million, compared to $124.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase of $33.2 million was primarily related to (i) increased spending on clinical operations and development-related activities as we continue to advance palazestrant through late-stage clinical trials and OP-3136 in early-stage clinical studies, (ii) an increase of $5.0 million in the milestone payment to Aurigene, and (iii) increased personnel-related costs due to higher headcount, partially offset by a decrease in non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $4.4 million mainly due to the lower grant-date fair value of stock options granted during the first three quarters of 2025.

Previous wording

General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $17.7 million compared to $18.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease of $1.1 million was primarily due to decreased spending on corporate-related costs, partially offset by an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $0.6 million related to increased headcount.

Current wording

General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $21.0 million compared to $17.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase of $3.3 million was primarily related to higher corporate-related costs and personnel-related costs, partially offset by a decrease in non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $0.6 million due to the lower grant-date fair value of stock options granted during the first three quarters of 2025.

Previous wording

Other income for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $12.8 million, compared to $8.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase of $4.5 million was primarily due to an increase in interest income from our marketable securities due to higher investment balance.

Current wording

Other income for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $16.2 million, compared to $12.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase of $3.4 million was primarily due to an increase in interest income from our marketable securities due to higher investment balance.

Previous wording

We expect to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future as we advance the clinical development of palazestrant, OP-3136 and non-clinical studies. We expect that our research and development and general and administrative costs will increase in connection with conducting additional non-clinical studies and clinical trials for our current and future research programs and product candidates, contracting with CMOs to support non-clinical studies and clinical trials, expanding our intellectual property portfolio, and providing general and administrative support for our operations. As a result, we will need additional capital to fund our operations, which we may obtain from additional equity or debt financings, collaborations, licensing arrangements or other sources.

We expect our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities as of December 31, 2024, as well as the available balance under the Credit Facility, will enable us to fund our current operating plan for at least the next 12 months from the filing date of these consolidated financial statements.

We expect our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities as of December 31, 2025, as well as the available balance under the Credit Facility, will enable us to fund our current operating plan through mid-2028. We have based this estimate of cash runway on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we expect.

In addition, under the Aurigene Agreement, we have payment obligations that are contingent upon future events such as the achievement of specified development, regulatory and commercial milestones. Financial terms of the Aurigene Agreement include potential future milestone payments of up to $55.0 million in clinical development and regulatory milestones, and up to $370.0 million in commercial milestones. Aurigene is also eligible to receive mid-single digit to the low double digit royalties as percentages of product sales, if any. The amount and timing of milestone obligations are unknown or uncertain as we are unable to estimate the timing or likelihood of achieving the milestone events. Additionally, the amount of royalty payments are based upon future product sales, which we are unable to predict with certainty. These potential obligations are further described in Note 12 to our audited consolidated financial statements.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenues, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, existing stockholders’ ownership interests will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of existing stockholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends.

Previous wording

Net cash used in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2023 consisted primarily of our net loss of $96.7 million and non-cash interest income on our marketable securities of $5.5 million, offset by net non-cash charges of $17.8 million and a net increase of $0.6 million in operating assets and liabilities. The net loss consisted primarily of $86.1 million in research and development expenses and $18.8 million in general and administrative expenses. The non-cash charges consisted primarily of stock-based compensation of $17.3 million, depreciation and amortization expenses of $0.4 million, loss on disposal of equipment of $0.1 million, and non-cash lease expense of less than $0.1 million, net of cash payments of $1.2 million. The change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to (i) an increase of $2.9 million in other current liabilities, (ii) an increase of $2.3 million in accounts payable, whic primarily resulted from timing of invoicing by vendors and related payments, and (iii) a decrease of $0.7 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets. The changes are mainly offset by an increase of $5.3 million in other assets and long-term deposits.

Current wording

Net cash used in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2025 consisted primarily of our net loss of $162.5 million and non-cash interest income on our marketable securities of $6.3 million, offset by non-cash charges of $18.0 million and net increase in operating assets and liabilities of $4.0 million.

The net increase in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to (i) an increase of $11.0 million in other current liabilities, which is primarily related to increased spending on clinical development-related activities as we advanced palazestrant through late-stage clinical trials, including initiation activities for OPERA-02, and the OP-3136 program, and (ii) an increase of $4.6 million in accounts payable, which is primarily related to timing of invoicing by vendors and related payments. These increases were partially offset by (i) an increase of $6.1 million in other assets and long-term deposits due to project deposits paid to CROs as we advance the OP-3136 program and conduct initiation activities for OPERA-02, and (ii) an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $5.4 million.
