Description of Business
RenovoRx, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware in December 2012 and operates from its headquarters in Mountain View, California. The Company is a life sciences company developing innovative targeted oncology therapies and commercializing RenovoCath®, a novel, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)-cleared local drug-delivery device, targeting high unmet medical needs.
The Company’s clinical stage lead product candidate is a novel drug-device combination product consisting of intra-arterial delivery of the chemotherapy gemcitabine via RenovoCath which the Company refers to as “IAG.” IAG is currently the subject of a Phase III clinical study for the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer (“LAPC”).
The Company is also commercializing RenovoCath as a standalone device for use by interventional radiologists, oncologists, and other medical professionals who can use the device to treat patients within its FDA-cleared fields of use. RenovoCath is indicated for temporary vessel occlusion in applications including arteriography, preoperative occlusion, and chemotherapeutic drug infusion.
RenovoCath utilizes the patented Trans-Arterial Micro-Perfusion (“TAMP™”) therapy platform, which is designed to ensure targeted therapeutic delivery across the arterial wall near the tumor site to bathe the target tumor, while potentially minimizing a therapy’s toxicities versus systemic intravenous therapy, including chemotherapy. The Company’s novel approach to targeted treatment offers the potential for increased safety, tolerance, and improved efficacy. The Company holds a robust portfolio of 19 issued patents and 12 pending patents covering its TAMP technology.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
From the Company’s inception through December 31, 2025, it has raised an aggregate of $71.4 million from private placements of convertible preferred stock, convertible debt securities, the issuance of securities in the Company’s August 2021 initial public offering (the “IPO”), and the exercise of warrants and common stock options. As of December 31,2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $7.0 million.
The Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company reported a net loss of $11.2 million and an accumulated deficit of $61.4 million and does not expect to generate positive cash flows from operations in the foreseeable future. The Company expects to incur significant and increasing losses until regulatory approval is granted for its first product candidate, IAG. Regulatory approval is not guaranteed and may never be obtained. The Company believes it will be able to raise additional capital through debt financings, private or public equity financings, license agreements, collaborative agreements or other arrangements with other companies, or other sources of financing. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available or will be at terms acceptable to the Company. The inability to raise capital as and when needed would have a negative impact on the Company’s liquidity financial condition and its ability to pursue its business strategy. The Company will need to generate significant revenue to achieve profitability, and it may never do so.
On November 14, 2025, the Company has filed an a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 that provides for the aggregate offerings of up to $50.0 million of the Company’s securities subject to various limitations, including limited sales in any twelve-month period while the Company is subject to the “baby-shelf” rules.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and has reviewed the relevant conditions and events surrounding its ability to continue as a going concern including among others: historical losses, projected future results, negative cash flows from operations, including cash requirements for the upcoming year, funding capacity, net working capital, total stockholders’ equity and future access to capital. Based upon this review and the Company’s current financial condition, the Company has concluded its current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund its operations through at least the next 12 months from the issuance of this report.
- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC for annual reporting. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and as amended by Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
Certain prior period amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and accompanying notes have been reclassified or modified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company and its business are subject to a number of significant risks associated with clinical-stage and early commercial stage life science companies, including the risks associated with (i) its relatively early stage commercialization efforts for RenovoCath, (ii) the development of IAG or other product candidates that must receive regulatory approval before market launch, (iii) possible failure of current or future preclinical studies or clinical trials, (iv) dependence on key third parties such as device manufacturers and providers of clinical trial administration services; (v) the need to obtain and maintain insurance coding for its products and product candidates, (vi) dependence on key officer and employees, (vii) competition from larger and more established companies, (viii) obtaining and maintaining intellectual property protections, (ix) changes in the Company’s technology or industry, (x) volatility in the public capital markets, (xi) the Company’s ability to obtain adequate financing when needed to support the Company’s business plan, (xii) the ability to attract and retain additional qualified personnel to manage the anticipated growth of the Company and (xiii) general economic and political conditions.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements during the reporting periods. In preparing these financial statements, management has made its best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the financial statements. Significant estimates and assumptions made in the accompanying financial statements include, but are not limited to, accruals of certain liabilities, including clinical trial accruals and other contingences, the valuation of financial instruments, the fair value of the Company’s common stock and the fair value of options granted under the Company’s equity incentive plan. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to the fair values of assets, stock-based compensation, clinical trial accruals and other contingencies. Management bases its estimates on historical experience or on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
Concentration of Risks
Financial Instruments
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains bank deposits in federally insured financial institutions and these deposits may exceed federally insured limits of $250,000 per depositor. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institutions holding its cash and cash equivalents to the extent recorded in the balance sheets. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents to date.
Supply
The Company relied, and expects to rely, on a small number of third-party manufacturers to manufacture and supply its RenovoCath devices and its product candidates for commercial customers and clinical trials. These activities could be adversely affected by a significant interruption in supply of these items.
Demand
For the year ended Decemer 31, 2025, three customers each accounted for 10% or more of the total revenues. Customer A, Customer B, and Customer C represented 22.9%,22.0% and 20.7%, respectively.
Operating Segment
The Company operates and manages its business asone reportable and operating segment, which is the development of IAG via the RenovoCath delivery device both in clinical studies and commercially. The Company’s chief executive officer (“CEO”), who is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), reviews financial information on an aggregate basis for allocating resources and evaluating financial performance, see “Note 11. Segment Information” in Notes to Financial Statements.
Net Loss per Share
Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, without consideration of common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents of potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period determined using the treasury stock and if-converted methods. Potentially dilutive common stock equivalents are comprised of convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, and warrants including options and restricted stock awards outstanding under the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, there was no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding as the inclusion of the potentially dilutive securities would be anti-dilutive.
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, or an exit price, in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value measurement establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The Company determined the fair value of financial assets and liabilities using the fair value hierarchy that describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, as follows:
Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 – Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 – Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.
The estimated fair value of financial instruments disclosed in the financial statements has been determined by using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to valuation, securities are classified as Level 3.
The carrying amount of current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses are generally considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of their short-term nature.
February 2025 Offering
The Company evaluated the underwriter warrants issued in connection with the underwritten public offering in February 2025 (the "February 2025 Offering") in accordance with ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Entityand concluded that the underwriter warrants are freestanding financial instruments, meeting ASC Topic 480’s criteria for legal detachment andseparate exercisability from the common stock. The underwriter warrants are classified as equity, not liabilities, as they do not embody obligations for cash settlement or issuance of variable shares. The initial recognition involves recording proceeds in Additional Paid-In Capital (“APIC”) with issuance costs as contra-equity. For diluted Earnings Per Share (“EPS”), the treasury stock method applies, as the underwriter warrants are dilutive but not participating securities before exercise, ensuring no impact on basic EPS until shares are issued.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Available-for-sale securities, comprised of obligations of the U.S. government and its agencies, are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded within other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other than temporary, if any, on available-for-sale securities are included in earnings. Purchases and sales of investment securities are recognized on a trade date basis. The cost of investment securities sold is determined by the specific identification method.
Inventories
Inventories consist of RenovoCath devices which are finished goods held for sale manufactured under contract by the Company’s third-party RenovoCath manufacturer. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and are determined using the specific identification method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The Company periodically reviews its inventory to identify obsolete, slow-moving, or otherwise unsalable inventories based on ongoing assessments of market conditions, technological advancements, and historical sales patterns, and establishes allowances for situations in which the cost of the inventory is not expected to be recovered. Such impairment charges, if any, are recorded in cost of goods sold, on the statements of operations. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company determined that the devices returned were not warranty related, and, as such, a warranty allowance was not recorded.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable represents amounts arising from product sales and are reported at outstanding amounts where management has the intent and ability to collect and are recorded net of allowances for returns and credit losses. The Company estimates an allowance for credit losses by considering factors such as credit quality, the age of the accounts receivable balances, and current economic conditions that may impact a customer’s ability to pay. The Company has no historical write-offs of its accounts receivable and its payment terms are generally less than 90 days from the invoice date. The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of each counterparty on a regular basis. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the credit profiles for these counterparties were deemed to be in good standing and, as such, an allowance for credit losses was not recorded.
Property and Equipment, Net
Property and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and represent furniture and fixtures on the Company’s new occupied office lease space. The furniture and fixtures are treated as a group asset and $2,000 of depreciation was recorded for the year ended December 31,2025. Depreciation expense will be recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of seven years. Repairs and maintenance costs that do not extend the useful life are expensed as incurred.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at contract inception. Operating lease assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based upon the present value of lease payments over the lease term. When determining the lease term, the Company includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise those options. The Company utilizes the Company’s incremental borrowing rate when the implicit interest rate is not readily determinable based upon the information available at the commencement date of the lease in determining the present value of the lease payments and the implicit interest rate when readily determinable.
The lease payments used to determine the Company’s operating lease assets may include lease incentives, stated rent increases and escalation clauses linked to rates of inflation, when determinable, and are recognized in the Company’s operating lease assets in the Company’s balance sheets. In addition, the Company’s contracts may contain lease and non-lease components. The Company combines lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for together as lease components.
The Company’s operating leases are reflected in the right-of-use operating asset; operating lease liability, current portion; and operating lease liability, net of current portion in the Company’s balance sheets. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Short-term leases, defined as leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less at the commencement date, are not recorded on the Company’s balance sheets and are recognized in the statements of operations and loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Variable lease payments are the amounts owed by the Company to a lessor that are not fixed, such as reimbursement for common area maintenance and utilities costs for facility leases. Variable lease payments are expensed when incurred.
Warranties
The Company generally provides warranties for its products from manufacturing defects on a limited basis for a period of up to 120 days after purchase. During the term of the warranty, if the device fails to operate properly from defects in materials and workmanship, the Company will replace the defective product.
The Company estimates the costs that it may incur under its warranty program based on the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim. The Company has not experienced any warranty claims to date, and significant warranty claims are not expected, and accordingly no liability for warranty claims was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The provisions of ASC 606 require the following steps to determine revenue recognition: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations based on estimated selling prices; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation. At contract inception, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract, determines whether each promised good or service is distinct and identifies those that are performance obligations. The Company recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.
The Company derives revenue through sales of its FDA-cleared catheter drug-delivery device, RenovoCath, directly to end users, which began sales in the fourth quarter of 2024. The Company considers customer purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master sales agreements or standard terms and conditions, to be the contracts with a customer. The Company’s contracts with customers typically contain a single performance obligation, which is the delivery of the RenovoCath stand-alone device and generally with payment terms expected net 30 - 90 days upon shipment of device. The Company recognizes revenue from sales of products at the point in time that the customer obtains control, which is typically based upon the terms of delivery. In determining the transaction price, the Company evaluates whether the price is subject to refund or adjustment to determine the net consideration to which it expects to be entitled. The only type of variable consideration the Company offers is limited return rights relating primarily to product damage or defects identified upon receipt, and therefore the Company expects minimal returns. Returns are estimated taking into consideration several factors including these limited product return rights, historical return activity, and other relevant factors. The Company experienced limited product returns to date, and accordingly no allowance for returns was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development expenses are charged to expense as incurred. Research and development expenses includes personnel costs including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation. In addition, it includes expenses for consultants that support clinical trial studies, materials costs, external clinical drug product manufacturing costs, outside services costs, regulatory activities including filing fees, fees for maintaining licenses and other amounts due to third-party agreements, laboratory materials, clinical trial, as noted above, and supplies to support the Company's research activities, manufacturing development and non-recurring engineering costs for the next generation of RenovoCath device, including allocated facility and selling, general and administrative indirect overhead related costs. The Company also receives payments from clinical trial sites for RenovoCath delivery devices used in the Phase III clinical trial. Payments received from clinical sites cover the direct costs of manufacturing the RenovoCath delivery devices and offset research and development expenses were $344,000 and $118,000 for December 31,2025 and 2024, respectively.
Clinical Trial Expenses
The Company makes payments in connection with its ongoing Phase III clinical trial under contracts with clinical trial sites and contract research organizations that support conducting and managing clinical trials. The financial terms of these agreements are subject to negotiation and vary from contract to contract and may result in uneven payment flows. Generally, these agreements set forth the scope of work to be performed at a fixed fee, unit price or on a time and materials basis. A portion of the obligation to make payments under these contracts depends on factors such as the successful enrollment or treatment of patients or the completion of other clinical trial milestones.
Expenses related to clinical trials are accrued based on estimates and/or representations from service providers regarding work performed, including actual level of patient enrollment, completion of patient studies and progress of the clinical trials. Other incidental costs related to patient enrollment or treatment are accrued when reasonably estimable. If amounts and obligations to pay under clinical trial agreements are modified (for instance, as a result of changes in the clinical trial protocol or scope of work to be performed), the accruals are adjusted accordingly. Revisions to contractual payment obligations are charged to expense in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become reasonably certain.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation for personnel in executive, finance and administrative functions, professional services and associated costs related to accounting, tax, audit, legal, intellectual property, consulting costs, conferences and travel, including allocated facility and selling, general and administrative indirect overhead related costs to research and development expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses are expensed in the period incurred.
Marketing
The Company implements a comprehensive multi-channel digital marketing program focused on 1) growing awareness around its therapeutic offerings and its pipeline of clinical stage drug candidates and 2) a national campaign to accelerate patient recruitment for the ongoing Phase III clinical trial study. The marketing efforts aim is to increase Company awareness focusing on name recognition, disease awareness, current treatment alternative options and recent clinical accomplishments and successes. Digital marketing expenses are classified as research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses and are expensed in the period incurred. Digital marketing expenses for patient recruitment for the ongoing Phase III clinical trial study are considered research and development expenses and were $73,000 andnil for December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Marketing expenses to increase Company awareness are classified as selling, general and administrative and were $290,000 and $413,000 for December 31,2025 and 2024, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which incorporates various assumptions including volatility, expected term and risk-free interest rate. Compensation related to service-based awards is recognized starting on the grant date on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, which is generally four years. Forfeitures are recorded as they occur.
The determination of the fair value of each stock award using this option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the fair value of the common stock at the date of grant, the expected term of the awards, the expected stock price volatility over the expected term of the awards, the risk-free interest rate, and the dividend rate as follows:
Fair Value of Common Stock
For grants issued post-IPO the closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the date of grant will determine the fair value of the Company’s common stock, as shares of the Company’s common stock are traded in the public market.
Expected Term—The expected term represents the period that the stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding. The Company determines the expected term using the simplified method for awards. The simplified method deems the term to be the average of the time-to-vesting and the contractual life of the options for employees. For non-employees and board members the expected term is ten years.
Expected Volatility—Given the absence of a public trading market, pre-IPO and post IPO, the expected volatility is estimated by taking the average historic price volatility for industry peers, consisting of several public companies in the Company’s industry that are either similar in size, stage, or financial leverage, over a period equivalent to the expected term of the awards.
Risk-Free Interest Rate—The risk-free interest rate is calculated using the average of the published interest rates of U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with maturities that are commensurate with the expected term.
Dividend Rate—The dividend yield assumption is zero as the Company has no plans to make dividend payments.
The Company generally granted stock options, pre-IPO, to its employees and consultants for a fixed number of shares with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the underlying shares at date of grant. For all post-IPO grants issued, the fair value will be the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. The Company accounts for all stock option grants using the fair value method and stock-based compensation is recognized as the underlying options vest.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance for the full amount of deferred assets, which would otherwise be recorded for tax benefits relating to operating loss and tax credit carryforwards for all periods presented, as realization of such deferred tax assets cannot be determined to be more likely than not. Due to losses incurred for all periods presented, the Company does not record a tax provision or benefit for income taxes.
Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company Status
The Company is an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and may take advantage of reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from complying with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with those standards. The Company has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. The Company expects to lose its status as an emerging growth company status as of December 31, 2026, the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of closing its IPO in August 2021.
The Company is also a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. If the Company is a smaller reporting company at the time the Company ceases to be an emerging growth company, the Company may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company, the Company may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K and, like emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard-setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09). ASU 2023-09 modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to enhance the transparency and decision-usefulness of income tax disclosures, particularly in the rate reconciliation table and disclosures about income taxes paid. The amendments are intended to address investors’ requests for income tax disclosures that provide more information to help them better understand an entity’s exposure to potential changes in tax laws and the ensuing risks and opportunities and to assess income tax information that affects cash flow forecasts and capital allocation decisions. The guidance also eliminates certain existing disclosure requirements related to uncertain tax positions and unrecognized deferred tax liabilities. The guidance is effective for all entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. All entities should apply the guidance prospectively but have the option to apply it retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the standard as of December 31, 2025 on a prospective basis.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)(ASU 2024-03). ASU 2024-03 modifies the rules on income statement disclosures to enhance the transparency of and include more detailed information about the types of expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion, in commonly presented expense captions such as cost of sales, research and development, and selling, general and administrative expenses. The amendments are intended to address investors’ requests for income statement expense disclosures that provide more information to help them better understand the components of an entity’s expenses, make their own judgments about the entity’s performance, and more accurately forecast expenses, and enable investors to better assess an entity’s prospects for future cash flows. It will also provide contextual information for an entity’s presentation and consideration of management’s discussion and analysis of financial position and results of operations. The guidance is effective for all entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026. All entities should apply the guidance prospectively but have the option to apply it retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is continuing to assess the timing of adoption and the potential impacts of ASU 2024-03 on the financial statements and related disclosures.
The Company continues to monitor new accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB and does not believe any accounting pronouncements issued through the date of this report will have a material impact on the Company’s condensed interim financial statements.

Common Stock Warrants Liability, Changes on Level 3 Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following table reflects the change in the Company’s Level 3 common stock warrant liability for the year ended December 31,2025 (in thousands):
Schedule of Level 3 Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
| Fair value as of December 31, 2024 | $1,519 |
|---|---|
| Change in fair value | (915) |
| Fair value as of December 31, 2025 | $604 |
The Company remeasures the fair value of its common stock warrant liability at each reporting date. The fair value of the common stock warrants was determined using a probability weighted scenario method with a Monte Carlo simulation and Black-Scholes model. The scenario-based method estimates the fair value of the Company’s common stock warrants by considering various outcomes as assessed by the Company. Quantitative elements associated with the inputs impacting the fair value measurement of the common stock warrants include the underlying fair value of common stock, timing of the expected scenarios, risk-free rate, and volatility of the Company’s shares. The risk-free rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve for the respective time periods based on the remaining contractual term of the warrants. The volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The Monte Carlo simulation projects the Company’s volume weighted average stock price based on the various fundamental transaction scenarios considered and utilizes a Black-Scholes model to value the warrants within these scenarios.
The following table details the assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the fair value of the common stock warrant liability:
| December 31,2025 · December 31,2024 | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stock price | $0.84 | $1.29 | ||||
| Expected volatility | 102.0% - 122.0% | 108.0% | ||||

- Leases, Commitments and Contingencies
Operating Leases
In October 2024, the Company entered into a 36-month lease agreement, commencing on December 1, 2024, non-cancelable operating lease consisting of approximately 1,900 rentable square feet of office space in Mountain View, California. The lease has a one-time option to renew the term for an extension period of 36 months. The office space lease has a remaining lease term of approximatelytwo years. The option to renew the term was not included for purposes of determining the right-of-use asset and associated lease liabilities as the Company determined that the renewal of the lease is not reasonably certain so only the original lease term was taken into consideration. The accounting lease commencement in accordance with ASC 842, Leases, occurred on December 1, 2024, and the Company recorded a total associated right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability of $285,000.
Classification of the Company’s operating lease on the balance sheets are as follows (in thousands):
| Years Ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Assets | ||
| Right-of-use operating asset | $190 | $278 |
| Liability | ||
| Operating lease liability – current | $105 | $66 |
| Operating lease liability – noncurrent | 107 | 212 |
| Total liability | $212 | $278 |
The current operating lease of $105,000 is classified as an accrued expense on the balance sheet, see “Note 5. Accrued Expenses” in Notes to Financial Statements.
Lease expense and cash paid by lease type that was recognized during the years ended December 31,2025 and 2024 are as follows (in thousands):
| Years Ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Operating lease | $108 | $9 |
| Short-term lease | 6 | 76 |
| Total lease expense | $114 | $85 |
Short-term leases for periods ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 of $6,000 and $76,000, respectively, were month-to-month lease arrangements where the Company recognized the lease payments as an expense in the period in which the obligation for those payments incurred. The Company made an election policy not to apply the recognition requirements under ASC 842, Leases, for month-to-month lease agreements.
The minimum lease payments are expected to be as follows for the years ending December 31, (in thousands):
| 2026 | $118 |
| 2027 | 111 |
| Total lease payments | $229 |
| Less imputed interest | (17) |
| Present value of operating lease liability | $212 |
The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable and as such, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate of 7.75% based on the information available at the lease commencement date, which represents an internally developed rate that would be incurred to borrow, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. As of December 31,2025, the Company has a remaining lease term of 1.92 years.
Commercial Supply Agreement
The Company entered into a Supply Agreement with Medical Murray, Inc., the Company’s primary third-party RenovoCath manufacturer, with an effective date of June 5, 2025. Under the supply agreement, the Company has agreed to purchase certain minimum order quantities of the Company’s RenovoCath device, based on issued purchase orders modified for limited cancellations or delays as provided in the supply agreement. Beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognizes the release of RenovoCath devices from Medical Murray as finished goods and records as inventory.
The supply agreement has an initial three-year term, with an automatic one-year renewal unless either party provides written notice of termination at least 30 days prior to the expiration date. The supply agreement may be terminated by either party in the event of a force majeure, bankruptcy or insolvency of the other party, and uncured material breach. The Company may terminate the supply agreement if RenovoCath is withdrawn or suspended by a government authority. In addition, either party may terminate for convenience with one-year written notice. In the event of early termination, the Company is obligated to pay the shortfall commitment as of the date of termination.
As of December 31, 2025, the value of the Company’s outstanding non-cancellable purchase commitments associated with the supply agreement is approximately $0.8 million. Approximately $0.2 million in payments were made under the supply agreement during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.
The Company was not subject to any material legal proceedings during the year ended December 31, 2025, and no material legal proceedings are subsequently outstanding or pending.
Guarantees and Indemnification
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into agreements that may include indemnification provisions. As permitted under Delaware law and in accordance with its bylaws, the Company indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is or was serving in such capacity. The Company is also party to indemnification agreements with its officers and directors. In some cases, the indemnification will continue after the termination of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under these provisions is not determinable. The Company has never incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification provisions. The Company is not currently aware of any indemnification claims. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any liabilities for these indemnification rights and agreements as of December 31, 2025.
- Equity Incentive Plan – Stock-Based Compensation Expense
2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan
On July 19, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the RenovoRx, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan, which became effective immediately prior to the closing of the IPO, initially reserved 2,185,832 shares of common stock, which included 10,832 shares of common shares reserved but unissued under the Amended and Restated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”). The Company’s 2013 Plan was terminated immediately prior to the closing of the IPO; however, shares subject to awards granted under the 2013 Plan will continue to be governed by the 2013 Plan. In accordance with the terms of the 2021 Plan, on January 1, 2025, the number of shares reserved and available for issuance increased by 721,040 shares.
On April 29, 2025, the Board approved the following amendments to the 2021 Plan to be adopted at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, (i) the addition of 913,794 shares of common stock to the total number of shares of common stock available under the 2021 Plan and (ii) an increase in in the 2021 Plan’s evergreen provision to increase the size of the 2021 Plan each year from three percent of shares outstanding on the final day of the immediately preceding calendar year to five percent. The amendments to the 2021 Plan were adopted at the Annual Shareholder’ Meeting on June 24, 2025.
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees, consultants and non-employee directors in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. The Company estimates the fair value of stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the date of grant using the assumptions in the table below. Stock options granted to employees and consultants generally vest over four years and have a term of ten years. Stock-based compensation expense for stock options is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. As the Company has not paid dividends since inception, nor does it expect to pay any dividends for the foreseeable future, the expected dividend yield assumption is zero. The expected volatility is estimated based on the historical stock volatility of the Company’s own common stock over a period equal to the expected term of the options including by taking the average historic price volatility for industry peers, consisting of several public companies in the Company’s industry that are either similar in size, stage, or financial leverage, over a period equivalent to the expected term of the awards. The risk-free rate of the stock options is based on the U.S. Treasury rate in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the stock options.

Our effective income tax rates for the years ended December 31, 2025, and December 31,2024, are same at 0%. The Company’s annual effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024 differs from the statutory rate of 21% primarily because the Company is only liable for minimum taxes in a handful of states, deferred tax adjustments, impacts from fair value adjustments of warrant liability, and the change in valuation allowance.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the United States. Certain provisions of OBBBA became effective during 2025, while other provisions will become effective in periods subsequent to 2025. The Company has evaluated the provisions of OBBBA applicable to its operations and, based on its assessment as of December 31, 2025, has determined the impact on its financial statements to be immaterial. The Company will continue to monitor developments and evaluate the effects of any additional guidance or interpretive regulations issued in connection with OBBBA.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets.
The components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows (in thousands):

(1) Federal and state tax credit carryforward are presented net of certain liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits.
At December 31, 2025, valuation allowances against deferred tax assets in the U.S. totaled $19.8 million, an increase of $3.0 million from valuation allowance at December 31, 2024 of $16.8 million. The Company will maintain the valuation allowances until it determines it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will be realized. The net increase in the deferred tax valuation allowance in 2025 is primarily attributable to federal and state net operating loss and foreign tax credits that the Company does not expect to realize.
At December 31, 2025, the Company had federal and state net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward amounts of $49.5 million and $49.1 million, respectively. The federal NOL carryforwards consists of $4.7 million generated before January 1, 2018, which will begin to expire in 2030 but are able to offset 100% of taxable income and $44.9 million generated after December 31, 2017 which can be carried forward indefinitely and may be able to be used against 100%. The state NOL carryforward will begin to expire in 2033.
The utilization of the Company’s NOLs may be subject to a U.S. federal limitation due to the “change in ownership provisions” under Section 382 and 383 of the IRC and similar limitations for states. In general, under Section 382, a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” (as defined under Section 382 of the Code and applicable Treasury
Regulations) is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its pre-change NOLs to offset its future taxable income. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not conducted an analysis of an ownership change under Section 382. To the extent that a study is completed, and an ownership change is deemed to occur, in the past or future, such limitations may result in a reduction of the amount of net operating loss carryforwards in future years and possibly the expiration of certain net operating loss carryforwards before their utilization.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had federal and state tax credit carryforwards of $3.4 million which will begin to expire in 2033, and California tax credit carryforwards of $0.5 million which do not expire.
Uncertain Income Tax Positions
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2025, is $1.0 million which relates to federal and state tax credits. The Company did not have tax-related interest and penalties at December 31, 2025. If recognized, none of the unrecognized tax benefits would affect the effective tax rate.

- Segment Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the CODM in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company operates as asingle reporting segment, focused on developing novel targeted oncology therapies and offering RenovoCath delivery system as stand-alone device targeting high unmet medical needs. The Company’s measure of segment profit or loss is net loss. The CODM is the CEO. The CODM manages and allocates resources to the operations of the Company on a total company basis. Managing and allocating resources on a company basis enables the CEO to assess the overall level of resources available and how to best deploy these resources across functions, clinical, manufacturing and research and development projects that are in line with the Company’s long-term company-wide strategic goals. Consistent with this decision-making process, the CEO uses financial information for purposes of evaluating performance, forecasting future period financial results, allocating resources and setting incentive targets. Operating expenses are used to monitor budget versus actual results. The CODM also uses net loss in competitive analysis by benchmarking to the Company’s peer group. The competitive analysis along with the monitoring of budgeted versus actual results are used in assessing performance of the segment. All the Company’s assets are held in the United States and all the Company’s revenues are derived from the United States.
The following table is representative of revenue and significant expense categories regularly provided to the CODM when managing the Company’s single reporting segment (in thousands).
