Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. Nature of the Business

Acrivon Therapeutics, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company discovering and developing precision medicines utilizing its proprietary Generative Phosphoproteomics Acrivon Predictive Precision Proteomics (“AP3”) platform designed to interpret and quantify compound-specific, drug-regulated pathway activity levels inside the intact cell in an unbiased manner, yielding terabytes of proprietary data and delivering rapid, actionable insights. The Company is currently focused on oncology and advancing its pipeline of preclinical and clinical-stage small molecule inhibitors. ACR-368 (also known as prexasertib), which is a selective small molecule inhibitor targeting CHK1 and CHK2, is in a potentially registrational Phase 2 trial focusing on endometrial cancer (“EC”). ACR-2316 is a novel, potent and selective inhibitor of WEE1 and PKMYT1 that is currently being advanced in Phase 1/2 studies for selected solid tumor types predicted sensitive by AP3. In addition, the Company is advancing ACR-6840, an internally discovered development candidate, and additional lead series targeting CDK11 towards Investigational New Drug (“IND”) filing.

The Company has received Fast Track designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for the investigation of ACR-368 as monotherapy based on OncoSignature-predicted sensitivity in patients with EC. The FDA has also granted Breakthrough Device designation for the ACR-368 OncoSignature assay for the identification of EC patients who may benefit from ACR-368 treatment. EC had not been previously studied in prior ACR-368 trials sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company (“Lilly”). Using AP3 for indication screening prior to clinical entry, this tumor type was predicted to be particularly sensitive to ACR-368, which has now been demonstrated in the ongoing Phase 2 study.

Clinical data from the ongoing, registrational-intent ACR-368 Phase 2b trial was presented in a late-breaking oral presentation at the European Society of Gynecological Oncology (“ESGO”) Annual Congress in February 2026. Consistent with higher BM levels in serous versus non-serous EC, this interim analysis across both OncoSignature-positive (“BM+”) and OncoSignature-negative (“BM-”) serous EC subjects showed a cORR of 52% (N = 23) versus an ORR of 22% (N = 37) in non-serous EC subjects; all subjects in this analysis received up to two prior lines of therapy (“LoT”), including chemotherapy and anti-PD-1. Arm 3 of the study was initiated in late 2025 to generate prospective data of ACR-368 with ultra-low dose gemcitabine (“ULDG”) sensitization in all-comer (no pre-treatment biopsy or biomarker stratification) serous EC subjects with ≤2 prior LoT. Arm 4 enrollment and dosing is now also ongoing, investigating single agent ACR-368 without ULDG in the same “serous all comer” subject group as Arm 3.

The Company’s second clinical-stage asset, ACR-2316, is a novel, selective WEE1/PKMYT1 inhibitor designed using AP3 for superior single-agent activity through strong activation of not only CDK1 and CDK2 but also of PLK1 to drive pro-apoptotic cell death, as observed in preclinical studies against benchmark inhibitors. The Phase 1/2 trial is advancing, with weekly dosing regimens established. Initial data from the monotherapy dose-escalation stage of the Phase 1/2 study showed a favorable tolerability profile and demonstrated clinical activity with tumor shrinkage, notably including partial responses and strong disease control in small cell lung cancer (“SCLC”) and squamous non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”), tumor types predicted sensitive by AP3 not previously shown sensitive to WEE1 or PKMYT1 inhibitors in development.

The Company was incorporated in March 2018 under the laws of the state of Delaware, and its principal offices are in Watertown, Massachusetts. Also in March 2018, the Company formed Acrivon AB, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, established in Lund, Sweden. In December 2021, the Company formed Acrivon Securities Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary, established in Massachusetts.

Liquidity

As an emerging growth entity, the Company has devoted substantially all of its resources since inception to organizing and staffing the Company, business planning, raising capital, establishing its intellectual property portfolio, acquiring and discovering drug candidates, research and development activities for the Company’s in-licensed lead candidate ACR-368 and for the Company’s internally discovered clinical-stage asset, ACR-2316, and other compounds, establishing arrangements with third parties for the manufacture of its drug candidates and component materials, and providing general and administrative support for these operations. As a result, the Company has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception and anticipates such losses and negative cash flows will continue for the foreseeable future.

The Company has incurred recurring losses since its inception, including net losses of $19.0 million and $19.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $293.9 million and $274.9 million, respectively. To date the Company has not generated any revenues and expects to continue generating operating losses for the foreseeable future as it continues to expand its research and development efforts.

Since its inception, the Company has funded its operations primarily with proceeds from the sales of shares of its convertible preferred stock, the issuance of convertible notes, and an initial public offering (“IPO”) and concurrent private placement. Upon the closing of the Company’s IPO on November 17, 2022, only common stock remains issued and outstanding. On April 8, 2024, the Company entered into a Private Investment in Public Equity (“PIPE”) securities purchase agreement (the “PIPE Purchase Agreement”) for a private placement with certain institutional and accredited investors (the “April 2024 Private Placement”). Pursuant to the PIPE Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue and sell to the PIPE investors an aggregate of (i)8,235,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $8.50 per share, and (ii) pre-funded warrants (“Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 7,060,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $8.499 per Pre-Funded Warrant, which represents the per share purchase price of the Company’s common stock less the $0.001 per share exercise price for each Pre-Funded Warrant. The April 2024 Private Placement closed on April 11, 2024, for aggregate net proceeds of $123.8 million, after deducting fees and expenses of $6.2 million. During thethree months ended March 31, 2026, all Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised via cashless exercise. As of March 31, 2026, no Pre-Funded Warrants remained outstanding. The April 2024 Private Placement is further described in Note 8. In April 2026, a sale was made pursuant to thesales agreement with Cowen and Company, LLC, to provide for the issuance and sale of common stock from time to time in “at-the-market” offerings (the “ATM Program”). The Company issued and sold to certain investors 4,054,954 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $1.80 per share. The ATM Program sale closed for aggregate net proceeds of $7.3 million. The ATM Program sale is further described in Note 14.

The Company expects that its existing cash, cash equivalents and investments of $97.7 million as of March 31, 2026, together with the net proceeds of $7.3 million raised from the ATM Program in April 2026, will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least 12 months from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.

The Company will need additional funding to support its planned operating activities. There can be no assurances, however, that the current operating plan will be achieved or that additional funding will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient funding, it could be required to delay its development efforts, limit activities, and reduce research and development costs, which could adversely affect its business prospects.

$76,972$111$—$77,083

Certain short-term debt securities with original maturities of less than 90 days are included in cash and cash equivalents on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are not included in the tables above. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, all short-term investments had contractual maturities withinone year.

The aggregate fair value of available-for-sale securities held by the Company in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months as of March 31, 2026 was $25.5 million. There wereno available-for-sale securities in a continuous unrealized loss position for greater than 12 months. The Company evaluated its securities for potential impairment and considered the decline in market value to be primarily attributable to current economic and market conditions. Additionally, the Company does not intend to sell the investments in an unrealized loss position and does not expect it will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity. Given the Company’s intent and ability to hold such investments until recovery, and the lack of a significant change in credit risk for these investments, the Company does not consider these investments to be impaired and there areno allowances for credit losses as of March 31, 2026.

  1. Fair Value Measurement

The following tables present information about the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the level of the fair value hierarchy to determine such fair value as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (in thousands):

Total assets$116,802$39,719$77,083$—

The Company classifies its money market funds as Level 1 assets under the fair value hierarchy as these assets have been valued using quoted market prices in active markets without any valuation adjustment. The Company typically classifies its U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. government-sponsored enterprise securities as Level 2 assets under the fair value hierarchy as these assets have been valued using information obtained through a third-party pricing service as of the balance sheet date, using observable market inputs that may include trade information, broker or dealer quotes, bids, offers, or a combination of these data sources.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025, there wereno transfers between levels. The Company uses the carrying amounts of its restricted cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other current liabilities to approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these amounts.

In October 2022, the Board of Directors (“Board”) approved the amended and restated certificate of incorporation, which was filed upon the closing of the IPO and which authorized the Company to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with a par value of $0.001. There areno shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding as of March 31, 2026.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorized the Company to issue 500,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001. The voting, dividend and liquidation rights of the holdersof the Company’s common stock are subject to and qualified by the rights, powers and preferences of the holders of preferred stock.

The holders of the common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held at all meetings of stockholders (and written actions in lieu of meetings), and there are not any cumulative voting rights. The number of authorized shares of common stock may be increased or decreased by the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of capital stock of the Company; however, the issuance of common stock may be subject to the vote of the holders of one or more series of preferred stock that may be required by terms of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

PIPE Securities Purchase Agreement

On April 8, 2024, the Company entered into the PIPE Purchase Agreement for a private placement with certain institutional and accredited investors. Pursuant to the PIPE Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue and sell to the PIPE investors an aggregate of (i)8,235,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $8.50 per share, and (ii)Pre-Funded Warrantsto purchase up to an aggregate of 7,060,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $8.499 per Pre-Funded Warrant, which represents the per share purchase price of the Company’s common stock less the $0.001 per share exercise price for each Pre-Funded Warrant. The April 2024 Private Placement closed on April 11, 2024, for aggregate net proceeds of $123.8 million, after deducting fees and expenses of $6.2 million.

The holders of Pre-Funded Warrants may not exercise a Pre-Funded Warrant if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. The holders of Pre-Funded Warrants may increase or decrease such percentage by providing at least 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, but not in excess of 19.99% in the case of an increase. The Pre-Funded Warrants are indexed to the Company’s common stock and were classified as a component of permanent equity in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as they were freestanding financial instruments that were immediately exercisable, did not embody an obligation for the Company to repurchase its own shares and permitted the holders to receive a fixed number of shares of common stock upon exercise. During thethree months ended March 31, 2026, all Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised via cashless exercise. As of March 31, 2026, no Pre-Funded Warrants remained outstanding.

Common Stock

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had reserved the following shares of common stock for the potential exercise of stock options, potential exercise of Pre-Funded Warrants, vesting of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), as well as the remaining shares available for issuance under the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”), the 2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2022 ESPP”), and the Amended and Restated 2023 Inducement Plan (the “Inducement Plan”):

  1. Stock-Based Compensation

Equity Incentive Plans

In October 2022, the Board adopted, and in November 2022 its stockholders approved, the 2022 Plan, which became effective immediately prior to and contingent upon the execution of the underwriting agreement related to the Company’s IPO. The 2022 Plan allows the Company to make equity-based and cash-based incentive awards to its officers, employees, directors, and consultants and provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, RSUs, and other stock-based awards. In addition, the number of shares reserved and available for issuance under the 2022 Plan shall automatically increase beginning on January 1, 2023 and each January 1 thereafter, byfive percent of the aggregate number of shares of common stock of all classes issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31 or such lesser number of shares of common stock as determined by the compensation committee.

In October 2022, the Board adopted, and in November 2022 its stockholders approved, the 2022 ESPP, which became effective immediately prior to and contingent upon the execution of the underwriting agreement related to the Company’s IPO. The number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2022 ESPP shall cumulatively increase beginning on January 1, 2023 and each January 1 thereafter through January 1, 2032, byone percent of the outstanding number of shares of common stock on the immediately preceding December 31 or such lesser number of shares as determined by the compensation committee. No shares of the Company’s common stock have been issued.

In June 2023, the Board adopted the Inducement Plan to facilitate the granting of equity awards as an inducement material to new employees joining the Company. In April 2025, the Board amended the Inducement Plan to reserve an additional 500,000 authorized and unissued shares of common stock. The only persons eligible to receive awards under the Inducement Plan are individuals who are new employees and satisfy the standards for inducement grants under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4) or 5635(c)(3), as applicable. The terms of the Inducement Plan are identical to the terms of the 2022 Plan, except that no incentive stock options shall be awarded under the Inducement Plan.

Stock Options

The Company has granted stock options with service-based vesting conditions. Stock options typically vest over four years and have a maximum term often years. The Company typically grants stock options to employees and non-employees at exercise prices deemed by the Board to be equal to the fair value of the common stock at the time of grant.

The assumptions that the Company used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the grant date fair value of stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were as follows:

Three Months Ended March 31,
20262025
Risk-free interest rate range3.62% - 3.98%4.09% - 4.37%
Dividend yield0.00%0.00%
Expected life of options (years)6.16.1
Volatility rate range100.94% - 101.63%89.91% - 90.82%

The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity during thethree months ended March 31, 2026:

Number ofSharesWeighted-AverageExercise PriceWeighted-AverageRemainingContractual Term(in years)AggregateIntrinsic Value(in thousands)
Outstanding as of December 31, 20256,176,141$6.017.72$1,051

Vested and exercisable as of March 31, 20263,569,491$6.506.17$200

The aggregate intrinsic value of options is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the stock options and the fair value of the Company’s common stock for those stock options that had exercise prices lower than the fair value of the common stock as of the end of the reporting period. No options were exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was immaterial.

The weighted-average grant date fair value of the Company’s stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $1.23 and $4.08 per option, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, there was $11.6 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to stock option grants. The Company expects to recognize this amount over a weighted-average period of 3.0 years.

RSUs

The Company has granted RSUs with service vesting based conditions. Unvested shares of restricted common stock may not be sold or transferred by the holder. They are legally issued and outstanding. These restrictions lapse according to the time-based vesting of each award.

The following table summarizes the Company’s RSU activity during thethree months ended March 31, 2026:

Restricted Stock UnitsWeighted-AverageGrant Date Fair Value
Unvested at December 31, 2025222,252$11.64
Vested(60,978)11.64
Forfeited(13,735)12.10
Unvested at March 31, 2026147,539$11.60

RSUs typically vest over four years. If and when an RSU vests, the Company will issueone share of common stock for each whole RSU that has vested, subject to satisfaction of the employee’s tax withholding obligations. Upon vesting and settlement of RSUs, the Company may withhold the portion of those shares with a fair market value equal to the amount of the minimum statutory withholding taxes due. The withheld shares are accounted for as repurchases of common stock.

No RSUs were granted during thethree months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. As of March 31, 2026, there was $1.4 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs. The Company expects to recognize this amount over a weighted-average period of 0.6 years.

The total fair value of RSUs vested during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $0.7 million and $2.2 million, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation expense included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for thethree months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 is as follows (in thousands):

As described in Note 8, the Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 7,060,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $8.499 per Pre-Funded Warrant were classified as a component of permanent equity in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as they were freestanding financial instruments that were immediately exercisable, did not embody an obligation for the Company to repurchase its own shares and permitted the holders to receive a fixed number of shares of common stock upon exercise. Before the exercise, all of the shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants were included in the weighted-average numberof shares of common stock used to calculate basic and diluted net loss per common share for each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, because the shares may have been issued for little or no consideration, were fully vested, and were exercisable after the original issuance date of the Pre-Funded Warrants. After the Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised, shares of common stock distributed to the investor remained in the weighted-average number of shares of common stock used to calculate basic and diluted net loss per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Shares of common stock withheld by the Company in the cashless exercise were removed from the weighted-average number of shares of common stock used to calculate basic and diluted net loss per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

The Company’s potentially dilutive securities, which include stock options and RSUs, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share. Therefore, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same. The Company excluded the following shares from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders as of March 31, 2026 and 2025 because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:

The accounting policies of the single reportable segment are identical to those described in Note 2. The chief operating decision maker, who manages the Company’s operations on a consolidated basis, assesses performance for the reportable segment using consolidated net loss to monitor budget versus actual results and to determine how to effectively allocate the Company’s resources.

Leases

The Company’s commitments under its operating leases are described in Note 7.

License Agreement

In January 2021, the Company entered into a license agreement and stock issuance agreement with Lilly (collectively, the “Lilly Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company has been granted an exclusive, royalty-bearing sublicensable license to certain patents owned or controlled by Lilly, with worldwide rights to commercially develop, manufacture, use, distribute and sell therapeutic products containing the compound prexasertib. The license from Lilly comprises three families of patent filings all relating to ACR-368. Additionally, pursuant to the Lilly Agreement, the Company received ACR-368 drug substance and drug product to be used in future research. In July 2025, the Company obtained unencumbered worldwide exclusive rights to freely engage in strategic partnerships, business development, and co-development opportunities for ACR-368, inclusive of all related intellectual property, in all territories and regions, after the triggering of Lilly’s limited right of first negotiation (“ROFN”), which the parties agreed under the terms of the agreement had expired.

As initial consideration for the license, the Company made a one-time, non-creditable, non-refundable upfront payment of $5.0 million. As additional consideration for the license, the Company is required to pay Lilly aggregate development and commercial milestone payments of up to $168.0 million, of which $5.0 million is due prior to a new drug application.

The Company is also obligated to pay a tiered percentage royalty on annual net sales ranging from single-digit up to a maximum of 10%, subject to certain specified reductions. Royalties are payable by the Company on a licensed product-by-licensed product and country-by-country basis until the later of the expiration of the last valid claim covering the licensed product in such country, expiration of all applicable regulatory exclusivities in such country for such licensed product and the tenth anniversary of the first commercial sale of such licensed product in such country, provided, that the Company’s obligation to pay royalties for a given licensed product in a given country will expire earlier upon achievement of certain sales thresholds by generic products in such country.

As of March 31, 2026, no milestone payments or royalties have been incurred related to the Lilly Agreement.

Companion Diagnostic Agreement

In June 2022, the Company entered into a companion diagnostic agreement (the “Akoya Agreement”) with Akoya Biosciences, Inc. (“Akoya”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Quanterix Corporation (“Quanterix”), pursuant to which the Company engaged Akoya to co-develop, validate, and commercialize the Company’s proprietary ACR-368 OncoSignature test, the companion diagnostic that will be used to identify patients with cancer most likely to respond to ACR-368. In February 2026, the Company and Akoya entered into a Termination and Transition Agreement (the “Termination”) pursuant to which they have mutually agreed to terminate the Akoya Agreement. The Termination does not involve any financial payments from or to any of the parties to such agreement. No milestones were achieved in 2026 prior to the Termination. No milestones were achieved during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
