Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
- Nature of Business, Organization and Liquidity
Description of Business
Rani Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. (“Rani Holdings”, and together with its consolidated subsidiary, the “Company”) is a clinical-stage biotherapeutics company focusing on advancing technologies to enable the administration of biologics and drugs orally, to provide patients, physicians, and healthcare systems with a convenient alternative to painful injections. The Company’s technology comprises a drug-agnostic oral delivery platform, the RaniPill capsule, which is designed to deliver a wide variety of drug substances, including antibodies, proteins, peptides, and oligonucleotides. The Company is advancing a portfolio of oral therapeutics using the RaniPill capsule. The Company is headquartered in San Jose, California and operates in one segment.
Organizational Transactions
Rani Holdings was formed as a Delaware corporation in April 2021 for the purpose of facilitating an initial public offering (“IPO”) of its Class A common stock. In connection with the IPO, the Company effected a series of organizational transactions (the “Organizational Transactions”), which, together with the IPO, were completed in August 2021, that resulted in the Company becoming the ultimate parent company of Rani Therapeutics, LLC (“Rani LLC”). The Company operates its business through Rani LLC.
As part of the Organizational Transactions, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with certain individuals and entities that continued to hold economic nonvoting Class A units of Rani LLC (“Class A Units”), collectively referred to herein as the “Continuing LLC Owners”. The Continuing LLC Owners are entitled to exchange, subject to the terms of the Sixth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Rani LLC (the “Amended Rani LLC Agreement”), the Class A Units they hold in Rani LLC, together with the shares they hold of the Company Class B common stock (together referred to as a "Paired Interest"), in return for shares of the Company’s Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis provided that, at the Company’s election, the Company has the ability to effect a direct exchange of such Class A common stock or make a cash payment equal to a volume weighted average market price of one share of Class A common stock for each Paired Interest redeemed. Any shares of Class B common stock will be canceled on a one-for-one basis if, at the election of the Continuing LLC Owners, the Company redeems or exchanges such Paired Interest pursuant to the terms of the Amended Rani LLC Agreement. As of December 31, 2025, certain individuals who continue to own interests in Rani LLC but do not hold shares of the Company’s Class B common stock (“non-corresponding Class A Units”) have the ability to exchange their non-corresponding Class A Units of Rani LLC for 1,164,515 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock.
Liquidity
The Company has incurred recurring losses since its inception, including net losses of$41.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of$132.6 million and for the year ended December 31, 2025 had negative cash flows from operations of$18.7 million. The Company expects that its cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of$49.7 million as of December 31, 2025, will be sufficient to fund its operations through at least twelve months from the date of these consolidated financial statements are issued.
The Company expects to continue to generate operating losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future as it continues to develop the RaniPill capsule. The Company expects to finance its future operations with its existing cash and through strategic financing opportunities that could include, but are not limited to, future offerings of its equity, collaboration or licensing agreements, or the incurrence of debt. However, there is no guarantee that any new strategic or financing opportunities will be executed or realized on favorable terms, if at all. The Company will not generate any revenue from product sales unless, and until, it successfully completes clinical development and obtains regulatory approval of its product candidates. While the Company may generate collaboration or license revenue prior to product approval, the timing and amount of such revenue are inherently uncertain. If the Company obtains regulatory approval for the RaniPill capsule, it expects to incur significant expenses related to developing its internal commercialization capability to support manufacturing, product sales, marketing, and distribution.
The Company’s ability to raise additional capital through either the issuance of equity or debt, is dependent on a number of factors inclu ding, but not limited to, the market interest of the Company, which itself is subject to a number of development and business risks and uncertainties, as well as the uncertainty that the Company would be able to raise such additional capital at a price or on terms that are favorable to the Company.
- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
The Company operates and controls all of the business and affairs of Rani LLC and, through Rani LLC conducts its business. Because the Company manages and operates the business and controls the strategic decisions and day-to-day operations of Rani LLC and also has a substantial financial interest in Rani LLC, the Company consolidates the financial results of Rani LLC, and a portion of its net loss is allocated to the non-controlling interests in Rani LLC held by the Continuing LLC Owners. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Variable Interest Entities
The Company consolidates all entities that it controls through a majority voting interest or as the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). In determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of an entity, the Company applies a qualitative approach that determines whether it has both (1) the power to direct the economically significant activities of the entity and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to that entity. The Company’s determination about whether it should consolidate such VIEs is made continuously as changes to existing relationships or future transactions may result in a consolidation event.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis. The Company bases its estimates on its historical experience and also on assumptions that we believe are reasonable; however, actual results may differ materially and adversely from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company may generate revenue from evaluation arrangements (Note 6), under which the Company performs evaluation services of the partner's drug molecules using the Rani Pill platform technology. The Company may also generate revenue from customer-vendor components within certain collaboration and license arrangements (Note 6) with certain pharmaceutical partners, which may include the grant of licenses to the Company's intellectual property and initial information transfer. Considerations for such arrangements may include non-refundable upfront license fees; payments based on the achievement of development, regulatory, or commercialization milestones; and future royalties on net sales of licensed products. The Company disaggregates revenue by major revenue stream, including collaboration and license arrangements and evaluation arrangements, which management believes best depicts the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
Revenue is recognized when control of promised goods or services is transferred to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company determines revenue recognition for arrangements within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customer ("ASC 606") by performing the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
The majority of the Company’s contracts include only one performance obligation. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is defined as the unit of account for revenue recognition. In determining whether performance obligations meet the criteria for being distinct, the Company considers a number of factors, such as the degree of interrelation and interdependence between obligations, and whether or not the good or service significantly modifies or transforms another good or service in the contract. Revenue for an individual contract is recognized at the related transaction price, which is the amount the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring the products and/or services. Revenue is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the cumulative amount recognized will not occur in future periods. As a practical expedient, we do not adjust the transaction price for the effects of a significant financing component if, at contract inception, the period between customer payment and the transfer of goods or services is expected to be one year or less.
In certain arrangements, the nature of the Company’s promise may include a stand‑ready obligation, under which the Company provides ongoing availability of specialized personnel, technical expertise, or regulatory support over a defined period. In such cases, the customer receives and consumes benefits as the Company stands ready to perform throughout the period, and revenue is recognized over time on a straight-line basis, which faithfully depicts the transfer of those benefits.
For arrangements that include multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price to the identified performance obligations based on the standalone selling price (“SSP”) of each distinct performance obligation. In instances where SSP is not directly observable, the Company develops assumptions that require judgment to determine the SSP for each performance obligation identified in the contract. The Company hasno arrangements with multiple performance obligations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Certain contracts within the scope of ASC 606 may include variable consideration, such as milestone or other contingent payments. The Company must make judgments to determine the estimates for certain variable considerations. Variable consideration is estimated using the most likely amount method for event-based milestones and other contingent payments. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur when the uncertainty is resolved. The Company continues to re-evaluate the transaction price in each reporting period as contingencies are resolved and other changes in circumstances occur.
Evaluation Arrangements
The Company recognizes contract revenue from its evaluation arrangements using a cost-based input method, which most faithfully depicts the transfer of the performance obligation to the customer. Accordingly, the Company will recognize contract revenue based on actual costs incurred as a percentage of total estimated costs the Company expects to incur to deliver its performance obligation. These actual costs consist of the internal labor efforts, in vivo testing services and material costs related to the agreement, as the costs incurred over time will reflect the transfer of its performance obligations to the customer. The cumulative effect of revisions to estimated costs to complete the Company’s performance obligation will be recorded in the period in which changes are identified and amounts are reasonably estimable.
License Fees
As part of the collaboration and license agreement, the Company may grant licenses to its intellectual property ("IP"). Considerations for such arrangements may include non-refundable upfront license fees.
When the Company grants a license to its intellectual property, it determines whether the nature of the intellectual property is functional or symbolic. Functional intellectual property has significant standalone functionality and provides the customer with a right to use the intellectual property as it exists at the point in time the license is granted. Revenue from functional IP is recognized at the point in time when control of the distinct license is transferred to the customer. Symbolic intellectual property does not have significant standalone functionality. A license to symbolic IP provides the customer with a right to access the Company's intellectual property over time.
If a license to the Company’s intellectual property is determined to be distinct from the other promises or performance obligations identified in the arrangement, the Company recognizes the transaction price allocated to the license as licensing revenue, at the point in time, upon transfer of control of the license.
In assessing whether a promise or performance obligation is distinct from the other promises, the Company considers whether a customer can benefit from the license on its own, or with other readily available resources, or if it needs to be combined with other promises in order to generate economic benefits.
In certain collaboration arrangements, a license to functional intellectual property may not be distinct from other promised goods or services, such as initial technology or information transfer, development‑related support, or regulatory‑related obligations. When these activities significantly enhance the utility of the license, or are highly interdependent with it, the Company combines the license with those activities into a single performance obligation.
If a license is determined to not be distinct and is combined with other promises into a single performance obligation, the Company utilizes judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether it is satisfied over time or at a point in time and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenue.
Milestones and Other Contingent Payments
At contract inception, the Company evaluates whether each milestone or other contingent payments are considered probable of being achieved and estimates the amount to include in the initial transaction price using the most likely amount method. Variable consideration is included in the initial transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur when the uncertainty is resolved. The Company evaluates factors such as the scientific, clinical, regulatory, manufacturing, commercial, and other risks that must be overcome to achieve the particular contingency in making this assessment. There is considerable judgment involved in determining whether it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur. Milestones that are outside the Company's control, such as regulatory approvals, are not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received and therefore, the variable consideration is constrained. At each reporting period, the Company updates its assessment of the probability of achieving each milestone and other contingencies subject to constraint and adjusts its estimate of the transaction price as necessary. Adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis.
For arrangements that include sales-based milestone payments and royalties on net sales of licensed products, which are the result of a customer-vendor relationship and for which the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate, the Company recognizes revenue at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied or partially satisfied.
Customer options, such as options granted to allow a customer to acquire later stage evaluation services, are evaluated at contract inception in order to determine whether those options provide a material right (i.e., an optional good or service offered for free or at a discount) to the customer. If the customer options represent a material right, the material right is treated as a separate performance obligation at the outset of the arrangement. The Company allocates the transaction price to material rights based on the standalone selling price, and revenue is recognized when or as the future goods or services are transferred or when the option expires. Customer options that are not material rights do not give rise to a separate performance obligation, and as such, the additional consideration that would result from a customer exercising an option in the future is not included in the transaction price for the current contract. Instead, the option is deemed a marketing offer, and additional option fee payments are recognized as revenue when the licensee exercises the option. The exercise of an option that does not represent a material right is treated as a separate contract for accounting purposes.
Incremental costs of obtaining contracts are expensed when incurred, when the amortization period of the assets that otherwise would have been recognized is one year or less. To date, none of these costs have been material. The costs to fulfill the contracts are determined to be immaterial and are recognized as an expense when incurred.
Collaborative Arrangements
The Company enters into collaboration agreements (Note 6) that may involve joint research, development, manufacturing, or commercialization activities with third parties. The Company evaluates whether each arrangement is subject to ASC Topic 808: Collaborative Arrangements("ASC 808") based on whether they involve joint operating activities and whether both parties have active participation in the arrangement and are exposed to significant risks and rewards that depend on the ultimate commercial success of the arrangement. To the extent that the arrangement falls within the scope of ASC 808 and the Company concludes that its collaboration partner is not a customer, the Company presents amounts due from its collaboration partner as a reduction of research and development expense based on the nature of such payments.
To the extent an arrangement includes both customer‑vendor components and collaborative research or development activities, the Company applies ASC 606 to the customer‑vendor components and records reimbursements related to collaborative activities as a reduction of research and development expense under ASC 808.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development expenses consist primarily of payroll and related benefits, stock-based compensation, third-party services, facilities, materials and supplies. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Payments made prior to the receipt of goods or services to be used in research and development activities are recorded as prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets until the related goods or services are rendered.
Preclinical and Clinical Trial Accruals
The Company's preclinical and clinical trials are being supported by Contract Research Organizations (“CROs”)and other vendors. Preclinical and clinical trial costs are a component of research and development expense. As part of the process of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to estimate expenses resulting from obligations under contracts with CROs and other vendors. The financial terms of these contracts vary and may result in payment flows that do not match the periods over which materials or services are provided under such contracts. The Company accrues expenses for preclinical and clinical trial activities performed by CROs and other vendors based upon the amount of work completed on each trial. The Company maintains regular communications with the CROs and other vendors to assess the reasonableness of the accrual. To date, differences between actual preclinical and clinical trial expenses and accrued preclinical and clinical trial expenses recorded have not been material and are adjusted for in the period in which they become known. Payments made under these arrangements in advance of the receipt of the related services are recorded as prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets until the services are rendered.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and employee-related costs, including benefits and stock-based compensation, for personnel in the Company’s executive and administrative functions. Additional general and administrative costs include professional fees for legal, accounting, auditing, tax, and consulting services, as well as facility and office expenses. General and administrative costs are expensed as incurred.
Stock-Based Compensation
In July 2021, the Company adopted and its stockholders approved, the Rani Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). The Company has subsequently granted stock options to purchase shares of its Class A common stock as well as restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and restricted stock awards ("RSAs") from the 2021 Plan to both employees and non-employees. The Company measures stock-based compensation at fair value on the grant date of the award. The fair value of employee and nonemployee RSUs is determined based on the number of shares granted and the closing market price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of RSAs is determined based on the estimated fair value of the Company’s Class A common stock on the grant date and is subject to the Company's reacquisition right which is accounted for as a forfeiture provision (Note 11). For awards that vest subject to the satisfaction of service requirements, compensation expense is measured based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant and expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Stock-based compensation is classified in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss based on the function to which the related services are provided.
The Company determines the grant-date fair value of options to purchase common shares using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model which requires inputs based on certain subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility derived from historical stock volatilities of the Company’s own stock price and public peer companies, the expected term of the option, the risk-free interest rate for a period that approximates the expected term of the option, and the Company’s expected dividend yield. Such assumptions represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. If actual results are not consistent with the Company’s assumptions and judgments used in making these estimates, the Company may be required to increase or decrease compensation expense, which could be material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations.
Income Taxes
Rani LLC is a pass-through entity for United States federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes following the IPO and Organizational Transactions. As an entity classified as a partnership for tax purposes, Rani LLC is not subject to United States federal and certain state and local income taxes. Any taxable income or loss generated by Rani LLC is passed through to, and included in the taxable income or loss of, its members, including the Company. The Company is taxed as a corporation and pays corporate federal, state and local taxes with respect to income allocated to it, based on its economic interest in Rani LLC.
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method of accounting. Current income tax expense or benefit represents the amount of income taxes expected to be payable or refundable for the current year. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, as well as for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the Company expects to recover or settle those temporary differences. The Company recognizes the effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company reduces the measurement of a deferred tax asset, if necessary, by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize some or all of the deferred tax asset.
The Company’s tax positions are subject to income tax audits. The Company uses a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the consolidated financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. A tax position is recognized when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than a 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized in income tax expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. No such interest and penalties were recognized for any period presented.
In August 2021, in connection with the IPO and Organizational Transactions, the Company entered into a tax receivable agreement ("TRA") with certain of the Continuing LLC Owners. The TRA provides that the Company pay to such Continuing LLC Owners,85% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, it is deemed to realize (calculated using certain assumptions) as a result of (i) increases in the tax basis of assets of Rani LLC resulting from (a) any future redemptions or exchanges of Paired Interests or non-corresponding Class A Units of Rani LLC and (b) payments under the TRA and (ii) certain other benefits arising from payments under the TRA (collectively the “Tax Attributes”).
A liability for the payable to parties subject to the TRA, and a reduction to stockholders’ equity, is accrued when (i) an exchange of a Paired Interest or non-corresponding Class A Units of Rani LLC has occurred and (ii) when it is deemed probable that the Tax Attributes associated with the exchange will be used to reduce the Company’s taxable income based on the contractual percentage of the benefit of Tax Attributes that the Company expects to receive over a period of time (Note 12).
Pursuant to the terms of the Private Placement, the Company entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement Termination and Release Agreement (the “TRA Termination Agreement”) in December 2025 to terminate the TRA, entered into in connection with the IPO and Organizational Transactions, and disclaim any rights or interests thereunder. As a result of the termination, the Company has no further obligations under the TRA, and no tax benefit payments or early termination payments were required in connection with such termination. The TRA Termination Agreement provides for the mutual release of the parties from all obligations under the TRA, effective as of December 31, 2025.
Non-Controlling Interest
Non-controlling interest ("NCI") represents the portion of income or loss, net assets and comprehensive loss of the Company's consolidated subsidiary that is not allocable to Rani Holdings based on the Company's percentage of ownership of Rani LLC.
In August 2021, based on the Organizational Transactions, Rani Holdings became the sole managing member of Rani LLC. As of December 31, 2025, Rani Holdings held approximately 80% of the Class A Units of Rani LLC, and approximately 20% of the outstanding Class A Units of Rani LLC are held by the Continuing LLC Owners. Therefore, the Company reports NCI based on the Class A Units of Rani LLC held by the Continuing LLC Owners on its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025. Income or loss attributed to the NCI in Rani LLC is based on the Class A Units outstanding during the period for which the income or loss is generated and is presented on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Future exchanges of Paired Interests and non-corresponding Class A Units of Rani LLC will result in a change in ownership and reduce or increase the amount recorded as NCI and increase or decrease additional paid-in-capital when Rani LLC has positive or negative net assets, respectively. From the date of the Organizational Transactions to December 31, 2025, there were 5,378,539 exchanges of Paired Interests and 362,821 exchanges of non-corresponding Class A Units of Rani LLC for an equal number of shares of the Company's Class A common stock.
Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss is defined as a change in equity of a business enterprise during a period, resulting from transactions and other events and/or circumstances from non-owner sources. Other comprehensive loss represents changes in fair value of the Company's available-for-sale marketable securities.
Concentrations of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains accounts in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The Company also holds money market funds that are not federally insured.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all cash held on deposit and highly liquid investments purchased with original or remaining maturities of less than three months at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents consist of balances held in demand depositary accounts and money market funds. Restricted cash equivalents consist of cash collateral required by a bank in connection with the Company's commercial credit cards program. The Company limits its credit risk associated with cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash equivalents by maintaining its bank accounts at major financial institutions.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash equivalents reported as a component of prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet which, in aggregate, represents the amount reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):
| Year Ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $18,618 | $3,762 |
| Restricted cash equivalents | 200 | 500 |
| Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash equivalents | $18,818 | $4,262 |
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable primarily consist of amounts due from customers under revenue arrangements. Receivables are recorded when revenue is recognized and are recorded net of any allowance for current expected credit losses measured based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company evaluates its accounts receivable for expected credit losses in accordance with ASC 326 “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” (“ASC 326”). Receivables are primarily due from collaboration partners and government agencies with strong credit profiles. The Company has no history of credit losses with these counterparties and collection has historically occurred within contractual terms. Based on this evaluation, the Company determined that expected credit losses are not material, and thereforeno allowance was recorded as of December 31, 2025.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were $2.0 million and $0, respectively, of accounts receivable recorded inthe Company's consolidated balance sheets. As of January 1, 2024, there wereno accounts receivable recorded.
Contract Balances
A contract asset is created when the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to the customer. Contract assets may represent conditional or unconditional rights to consideration. The right is conditional and recorded as a contract asset if the Company must first satisfy another performance obligation in the contract before it is entitled to payment from the customer. Contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable once the right becomes unconditional. If the Company has the unconditional right to receive consideration from the customer, the contract asset is accounted for as accounts receivable and presented separately from contract assets. A right is unconditional if nothing other than the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025, net change on contract asset balance due to timing of billing, payment and recognition was $0 and $0.4 million, respectively. As of January 1, 2024, the contract asset recorded was $0.
Contract liabilities are recorded as deferred revenue when cash payments are received or due in advance of performance or where the Company has unsatisfied performance obligations. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were $8.5 million and $0, respectively, of deferred revenue recognized for unsatisfied evaluation services.
Marketable Securities
The Company invests its excess cash in marketable securities with high credit ratings including money market funds, securities issued by U.S. and international governments and their agencies, corporate debt securities and commercial paper. The Company has assessed U.S. government treasuries and agencies and money market funds as Level 1 and corporate debt securities and commercial paper as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. All the Company's marketable securities have been accounted for as available-for-sale and carried at fair value. The Company classifies all its available-for-sale marketable securities, including those with maturity dates beyond one year, as current assets on the consolidated balance sheets as the Company may sell these securities at any time for use in current operations even if they have not yet reached maturity. The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity, which is included in interest income and other, net on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Realized gains and losses on marketable securities are included in other income (expense) on the consolidated statements of operations. Gains and losses on sales are recorded based on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method.
The Company regularly reviews its investments for declines in fair value below their amortized cost basis to determine whether the impairment is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. The Company's review includes the creditworthiness of the security issuers, the severity of the unrealized losses, whether the Company has the intent to sell the securities and whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before the recovery of its amortized cost bases. When the Company determines that a portion of the unrealized loss is due to an expected credit loss, the Company recognizes the loss amount in Other income (expense), net, with a corresponding allowance against the carrying value of the security the Company holds. The portion of the unrealized loss related to factors other than credit losses is recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. The Company has made an accounting policy election to not measure an allowance for credit loss for accrued interest receivables and will recognize a credit loss for accrued interest receivables when the loss becomes probable and estimable.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the carrying values of current assets, current liabilities, short-term debt, and some of the marketable securities balances classified as level 2 approximate fair value due to their short-term nature, respectively.
To the extent that the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgement exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value of the instrument.
The Company estimates the fair value of its Level 2 financial instruments by taking into consideration valuations obtained from third-party pricing services. The third-party pricing services utilize industry standard valuation models, for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, to estimate fair value. These inputs include reported trades of and broker/dealer quotes on the same or similar securities; issuer credit spreads; benchmark securities; and other observable inputs.
Property and Equipment, Net
Property and equipment, net are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally between three and five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the related lease term or useful life. The Company’s property and equipment as of December 31, 2025 consists of laboratory equipment, office equipment, software, and leasehold improvements. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred, while betterments or renewals are capitalized. When property and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation and amortization accounts are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in the results of operations. Construction-in-progress consists of production equipment that will be used to scale-up the manufacturing of the RaniPill capsule for clinical trials and that has been determined to have an alternative future use.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews the carrying amounts of its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (or asset group) may not be recoverable. If indicators of impairment exist, an impairment loss would be recognized when the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount. The impairment charge is determined based upon the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its estimated fair value, with estimated fair value determined based upon an estimate of discounted future cash flows or other appropriate measures of estimated fair value.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company assessed the recoverability of the long-lived assets and determined there were no indicators of impairment.
Leases
The Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present at the inception of the arrangement and if such a lease is classified as a financing lease or operating lease. The Company has elected not to recognize on the balance sheet leases with terms of one year or less. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and operating lease liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025.
ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease contract. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. In determining the net present value of lease payments, the interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As such, the Company utilizes the appropriate incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”), which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Certain adjustments to the ROU asset may be required for items such as initial direct costs paid or incentives received and impairment charges if the Company determines the ROU asset is impaired. The Company considers a lease term to be the noncancelable period during which it has the right to use the underlying asset, including any periods where it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the option to extend the contract. Periods covered by an option to extend are included in the lease term if the lessor controls the exercise of that option.
The operating lease ROU assets also include any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. The Company has elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for its leased assets and accounts for all lease and non-lease components of its agreements as a single lease component. The lease components resulting in a ROU asset have been recorded on the consolidated balance sheet and amortized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Warrants
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” ("ASC 480"), and ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” ("ASC 815"). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own shares, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are recorded at their initial fair value of the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of liability classified warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the consolidated statements of operations. Costs associated with issuing the warrants classified as derivative liabilities are charged to operations when the warrants are issued.
Net Loss Per Class A Common Share Attributable to Rani Holdings
Basic net loss per Class A common share attributable to Rani Holdings is computed by dividing net loss attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of Class A common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration of potential dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per Class A common share is computed giving effect to all potentially dilutive shares. Diluted net loss per Class A common share for all periods presented is the same as basic loss per share as the inclusion of potentially issuable shares would be antidilutive.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act, until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 requires enhanced annual disclosures regarding the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025 for entities that qualify as emerging growth companies and may be adopted on a prospective or retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted this accounting standard in the fourth quarter of 2025 and applied the guidance on a prospective basis. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. The amendments clarify the scope of interim reporting guidance in U.S. GAAP, consolidate interim disclosure requirements from other Codification topics, and introduce a disclosure principle requiring entities to describe events occurring after the end of the most recent annual period that have a material effect on the entity. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this update; however, because the amendments primarily clarify existing interim reporting requirements and do not significantly expand disclosure obligations, the Company does not expect the ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025‑05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which amends the guidance for estimating expected credit losses for financial assets within the scope of ASC 326. The amendments allow all entities to elect a practical expedient to assume that the current conditions as of the balance sheet date will remain unchanged for the remaining life of the asset when developing a reasonable and supportable forecast as part of estimating expected credit losses on these assets. Entities are required to disclose their practical expedient and accounting policy elections. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), to provide disaggregated information about certain income statement costs and expenses. The guidance is effective for the Company’s annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

| Total cash equivalents, restricted cash equivalents and marketable securities | $25,775 | $5 | $— | $25,780 |
All marketable securities are classified as short-term. The Company regularly reviews its available-for-sale marketable securities in an unrealized loss position and evaluates the current expected credit loss by considering factors such as historical experience, market data, issuer-specific factors, and current economic conditions. As of December 31, 2025, the aggregate difference between the amortized cost and fair value of each security in an unrealized loss position was de minimis. Since any provision for expected credit losses for a security held is limited to the amount the fair value is less than its amortized cost, no allowance for expected credit loss was deemed necessary at December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, interest income receivable recorded as a component of prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet was deminimis for both years.
