Notes to Combined Financial Statements
- Description of the Business
Organization
First Tracks Biotherapeutics, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing antibody therapies that modulate immune pathways implicated in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Our pipeline includes ANB033, a CD122 antagonist in development for celiac disease and eosinophilic esophagitis; rosnilimab, a pathogenic T cell depleter in development for rheumatoid arthritis; and ANB101, a BDCA2 modulator.
Going forward, as we continue our expansion, we may seek additional financing and/or strategic investments. However, there can be no assurance that any additional financing or strategic investments will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all. If events or circumstances occur such that we do not obtain additional funding, we will most likely be required to reduce our plans and/or certain discretionary spending, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve our intended business objectives. Our management believes our currently available resources will provide sufficient funds to enable us to meet our operating plans for at least the next 12 months from the issuance of our combined financial statements. The accompanying combined financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
The Separation
Our financial support has been provided primarily by AnaptysBio, Inc. (“AnaptysBio”), our former parent company. In September 2025, AnaptysBio announced its intent, as approved by its board of directors on September 29, 2025, to separate our operations from AnaptysBio into a separate, independent, publicly traded company (the “Spin-Off”). The Spin-Off was completed on April 20, 2026 (the “Distribution Date”).
On the Distribution Date, AnaptysBio distributed 29,100,902 shares of First Tracks Biotherapeutics common stock to its shareholders and the Company issued 5,791,479 shares of its common stock as part of the previously announced private placement, see Note 9 — Subsequent Events .
In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into a separation and distribution agreement (the "Separation and Distribution Agreement") with AnaptysBio. The Separation and Distribution Agreement identifies the assets transferred to (including the contracts assigned) or retained by, and the liabilities assumed or retained by each of us, and AnaptysBio.
- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited combined financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted. The accompanying unaudited combined financial statements include all known adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of interim periods as required by U.S. GAAP. These adjustments consist primarily of normal recurring accruals and estimates that impact the carrying value of assets and liabilities. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in our Form 10, which was filed with the SEC on March 27, 2026.
During the periods presented, we were not a separate legal entity and did not directly own the Australian subsidiary, which was legally owned by AnaptysBio. The portions of the Australian subsidiary’s assets, liabilities, income, expenses and cash flows related to our business are included in these combined financial statements.
We operate in one reportable segment, and our functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar.
Use of Estimates
Thepreparation of the accompanying combined financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We base our estimates and assumptions on historical experience when available and on various factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Significant estimates relied upon in preparing these financial statements include estimates related to accrued research and development expenses, stock-based compensation and the allocation of costs between AnaptysBio and First Tracks Biotherapeutics. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Accounting Pronouncements
We have implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and may have an impact on our combined financial statements. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe the impact of any recently issued pronouncements will not have a material impact on our combined financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disclosure about the types of costs and expenses included in certain expense captions presented on the income statement. The new disclosure requirements are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this guidance and assessing the potential impact on our financial statement disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which clarifies the guidance in Topic 270 to improve the consistency of interim financial reporting. The ASU provides a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures and introduces a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption on our financial statement disclosures.

- Collaborative Research and Development Agreements
Centessa
On November 24, 2023, we entered into an exclusive license agreement (as amended, the “Centessa Agreement”) with Centessa Pharmaceuticals (UK) Limited (“Centessa”), pursuant to which we acquired the exclusive global development and commercialization rights to a blood dendritic cell antigen 2 (BDCA2) modulator antibody portfolio, including lead asset CBS004 (renamed ANB101), and the related family of antibodies, for the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.
In connection with the Centessa Agreement, we paid Centessa an upfront cash payment of $4.0 million and an additional cash payment of $3.0 million as reimbursement to Centessa for manufacturing costs incurred. There were $0.3 million in transaction costs incurred. The total transaction amount of $7.3 million was expensed as in-process research and development and classified as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows. We accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition as the set of acquired assets did not constitute a business.
Under the terms of the Centessa Agreement, Centessa may be entitled to receive potential future payments of up to $10.0 million upon the achievement of a certain event-based milestone and would be entitled to receive on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis, a royalty of low single digits on annual net sales of any product in the territory in each calendar year. As of March 31, 2026, achievement of the milestone is not probable and, therefore, we have not recognized a liability for the associated $10.0 million contingent consideration.
Vanda
On January 31, 2025, we entered into an Exclusive License Agreement (the “Vanda License Agreement”) with Vanda pursuant to which Vanda was granted an exclusive, global license for the development and commercialization of imsidolimab (IL-36R antagonist mAb), which has completed two registration-enabling global Phase 3 trials, GEMINI-1 and GEMINI-2, evaluating the safety and efficacy of imsidolimab in patients with generalized pustular psoriasis (“GPP”).
The following milestones are payable under the Vanda License Agreement:
| Milestone Event | Amount | Quarter Recognized |
|---|---|---|
| FDA regulatory approval for marketing of first licensed product in the USA for the treatment of active flares in GPP | $5.0M | — |
| Regulatory approval for marketing of the first licensed product in the EU | $5.0M | — |
| Commercial sales first exceed $100.0 million | $25.0M | — |
| Milestones recognized through March 31, 2026 | — | — |
| Milestones that may be recognized in the future | $35.0M | — |
Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, any and all rights to receive milestone payments under the Vanda License Agreement will be retained by us.
- Related Party Transactions
We have historically operated as part of AnaptysBio and not as a standalone entity. Accordingly, the accompanying combined financial statements are derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of AnaptysBio.
Cost Allocations
The combined financial statements reflect allocations of certain expenses from the financial statements of AnaptysBio, including research and development expenses and administrative expenses. These allocations include, but are not limited to, executive management, employee compensation and benefits, facilities and operations, information technology, business development, financial services (such as accounting, audit, and tax), legal, insurance, and stock-based compensation.
Internal research and development costs that could not be specifically identified were allocated to the program level using the percentage of external research and development costs as the allocation driver. General and administrative expenses were allocated similarly to the allocation of internal research and development costs, with a portion allocated based on estimated employee headcount.
These allocations are reflected in the combined statements of operations as follows:
For thethree months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, transactions with AnaptysBio were as follows:
| (in thousands) | 2026 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Research and development | $15,313 | $13,687 |
| General and administrative | $18,856 | $9,815 |
| Total allocated operating expenses | $34,169 | $23,502 |
The combined financial statements reflect allocations of certain assets and liabilities from the financial statements of AnaptysBio. These allocations include, but are not limited to, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and accumulated deficit. Amounts that could not be specifically identified were allocated using the percentage of external research and development costs as the allocation driver.
Management believes these cost allocation methods are reasonable and reflect the services provided to First Tracks Biotherapeutics during the periods presented. The allocations may not, however, be indicative of the actual expenses that would have been incurred had First Tracks Biotherapeutics operated as a standalone public company. Actual costs that may have been incurred if First Tracks Biotherapeutics had been a standalone public company would depend on a number of factors, including the organizational structure, whether functions were outsourced or performed by First Tracks Biotherapeutics employees, and decisions made in areas such as research and development, infrastructure, and information technology.
Net Investment from AnaptysBio
Related party transactions between First Tracks Biotherapeutics and AnaptysBio have been included within net parent investment in the combined balance sheets in the historical periods presented as these related party transactions were not settled in cash. Net parent investment in the combined balance sheets and combined statements of equity represents AnaptysBio’s investment in First Tracks Biotherapeutics, the net effect of transactions with, and allocations from AnaptysBio. The components of net transfers from AnaptysBio and the reconciliation to the corresponding amount presented on the combined statements of cash flows were as follows:
| (in thousands) | 2026 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Allocations of AnaptysBio’s corporate expenses | $9,077 | $5,716 |
| Non-cash transfer of ROU assets to AnaptysBio | 12,886 | — |
| Non-cash transfer of lease liabilities to AnaptysBio | (14,112) | — |
| Total | $7,851 | $5,716 |
- Fair Value Measurements and Available-for-Sale Investments
Fair Value Measurements
Our financial instruments consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments, receivables, and accounts payable. Certain of our financial assets and liabilities have been recorded at fair value in the combined balance sheet in accordance with the accounting standards for fair value measurements.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Accounting guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2—Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities; and
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activities, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following table summarizes our assets and liabilities that require fair value measurements on a recurring basis and their respective input levels based on the fair value hierarchy:
| Fair Value Measurements at End of Period Using: | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | Fair Value | Quoted MarketPrices forIdentical Assets(Level 1) | SignificantOtherObservableInputs (Level 2) | SignificantUnobservableInputs (Level 3) |

(1)
Included in cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying combined balance sheets.
(2)
Included in short-term investments in the accompanying combined balance sheets.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
Marketable Securities. For fair values determined by Level 1 inputs, which utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets, the level of judgment required to estimate fair value is relatively low. For fair values determined by Level 2 inputs, which utilize quoted prices in less active markets for similar assets, the level of judgment required to estimate fair value is also considered relatively low.
Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.
Available-for-Sale Investments
We invest our excess cash in agency securities, debt instruments of financial institutions and corporations, commercial obligations, and U.S. Treasury securities, which we classify as available-for-sale investments. These investments are carried at fair value and are included in the tables above. The aggregate market value, cost basis, and gross unrealized gains and losses of available-for-sale investments by security type, classified in short-term and long-term investments as of March 31, 2026 are as follows:
| (in thousands) | AmortizedCost | GrossUnrealizedGains | TotalFairValue |

Of our outstanding commercialand corporate obligations, $5.0 million have maturity dates of less than one year and $0.0 million have a maturity date of betweenonetotwo years as of March 31, 2026.
(2)
Of our outstanding U.S. Treasury securities, $33.0 million have maturity dates of less than one year and $0.0 million have a maturity date of betweenonetotwo years as of March 31, 2026.
The aggregate market value, cost basis, and gross unrealized gains and losses of available-for-sale investments by security type, classified in cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments as of December 31, 2025 are as follows:

(2)
Of our outstanding U.S. Treasury securities $63.3 million have maturity dates of less than one year and $0.0 million have a maturity date of betweenone totwo years as of December 31, 2025.
There wereno available-for-sale investments in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025. Accordingly, no allowance for credit losses was recorded.
- Equity Compensation Plan
As of March 31, 2026, we had no stock-based compensation plan. Under AnaptysBio’s stock-based compensation plan, 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”), AnaptysBio may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other awards to individuals who are then our employees, officers, directors or consultants. All awards granted under AnaptysBio’s 2017 Plan were based on AnaptysBio’s common stock and, as such, are reflected in AnaptysBio’s consolidated statement of equity and not in our combined statements of equity.
All awards granted under AnaptysBio’s equity plans consist of shares of AnaptysBio’s common stock. Accordingly, the amounts presented are not necessarily indicative of future stock-based compensation and do not necessarily reflect the amounts that we would have recorded as an independent, publicly traded company for the periods presented. The activity presented in the tables that follow this paragraph represent the stock options and stock units for AnaptysBio.
Stock Options
Stock options granted to employees and non-employees generally vest over afour-year period while stock options granted to directors generally vest over aone-year period. Each stock option award has a maximum term of 10 years from the date of grant, subject to earlier cancellation prior to vesting upon cessation of service to us. A summary of the activity related to stock option awards during thethree months ended March 31, 2026 is as follows:
| SharesSubject toOptions | Weighted-AverageExercisePrice perShare | Weighted-AverageRemainingContractualTerm (in years) | AggregateIntrinsicValue(in thousands) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Outstanding at January 1, 2026 | 6,897,768 | $23.35 | 6.93 | $180,434 |

| Exercisable at March 31, 2026 | 3,926,781 | $26.11 | 6.15 | $120,688 |
Time-Based Restricted Stock Units
Each restricted stock unit (“RSU”) represents one equivalent share of our common stock to be issued after satisfying the applicable continued service-based vesting criteria over a specified period. The fair value of these RSUs is based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of the grant. We measure compensation expense over the expected vesting period on a straight-line basis. The RSUs do not entitle the participants to the rights of holders of common stock, such as voting rights, until the shares are issued.
| Number ofRestrictedStock Units | Weighted-AverageGrant DateFair Value | Weighted-AverageRemainingContractualTerm (in years) | AggregateIntrinsicValue(in thousands) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Outstanding at January 1, 2026 | 1,373,205 | $18.95 | 1.17 | $66,573 |

| RSU expected to vest at March 31, 2026 | 1,394,430 | $27.50 | 1.66 | $77,335 |
Performance Stock Units
A performance stock unit (“PSU”) represents one equivalent share of our common stock to be issued after achievement of the performance metrics specified in the grant. The following table presents a summary of activity with respect to our PSUs:

| Outstanding at March 31, 2026 | 471,500 | $24.69 | — | $— | 471,500 | $24.69 |
Market-Based Awards
The fair value of our PSUs is estimated as of the grant date of July 22, 2024, based upon the expected achievement of the performance metrics specified in the grant and the closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant. The grant date fair value is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation using the following assumptions:
| Three months ended March 31, | |
|---|---|
| Volatility of common stock | 59.0% |
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.1% |
| Contract term (in years) | 3.9 |
The compensation expense for the awards is recognized over the requisite service period regardless of whether the market conditions are achieved and will only be adjusted for pre-vesting forfeitures due to the termination of the recipient’s employment with the Company prior to the expiration of the requisite service period. The requisite service period over which the compensation expense will be recognized is July 22, 2024 through July 1, 2028.
Performance-Based Awards
The performance-based stock units granted in 2026 vested in March 2026 based upon (i) continued service through the vesting date and (ii) the achievement of specific performance targets, as approved by the Board of Directors. There was no unrecognized compensation expense as of March 31, 2026.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
We recognize stock-based compensation expense for awards issued to employees and non-employees over the requisite service period based on the estimated grant-date fair value of such awards. We record the expense for stock-based compensation awards subject to performance-based milestone vesting over the requisite service period when management determines that achievement of the milestone is probable. Management evaluates when the achievement of a performance-based milestone is probable based on the expected satisfaction of the performance conditions at each reporting date. The estimated fair values of stock option awards granted were determined on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Risk-free interest rate | 3.9% | 4.5% |
| Expected volatility | 84.0% | 81.8% |
| Expected dividend yield | — % | — % |
| Expected term (in years) | 6.35 | 6.35 |
| Weighted average grant date fair value per share | $32.67 | $10.95 |
We determine the appropriate risk-free interest rate, expected term for employee stock-based awards, contractual term for non-employee stock-based awards, and volatility assumptions. The weighted-average expected option term for employee and non-employee stock-based awards reflects the historical option term. Expected volatility incorporates the historical volatility of our stock price. The risk-free interest rate is based upon U.S. Treasury securities with remaining terms similar to the expected or contractual term of the stock-based payment awards. The assumed dividend yield is based on our expectation of not paying dividends in the foreseeable future.
Stock-based compensation expense was allocated to us using a proportionate cost allocation method, which management believes is consistent and reasonable. For the research and development portion, costs were allocated using the percentage of external research and development costs as the allocation driver. For the general and administrative portion, costs were allocated similarly to the allocation of research and development costs, with a portion allocated based on estimated employee headcount.
Stock-based compensation expense under AnaptysBio’s 2017 Plan allocated to us and included within our combined statements of operations consisted of the following (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | 2026 | 2025 |
| Research and development | $4,546 | $4,438 |
| General and administrative | 6,957 | 3,308 |
| Total stock-based compensation expense | $11,503 | $7,746 |
- Segment Reporting
We operate asone reportable segment focused on research and development activities to deliver immunology therapeutics for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Segment profit or loss is measured as the net loss reported on our combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and net loss is used to monitor results. The measure of segment assets is reported on our combined Balance Sheets as total assets.
The chief executive decision maker ("CODM") is our Chief Executive Officer. The CODM manages the business activities on a combined basis in making decisions regarding resource allocation and performance assessment.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “potentially,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “project,” “plan,” and “expect,” and similar expressions that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report include, among other things, statements about:
the success, cost, and timing of our product candidate development activities and ongoing and planned clinical trials;
our plans and ability to develop and commercialize antibodies;
the likelihood that the clinical data generated in any study we performed, are performing, or plan to perform in a non-U.S. jurisdiction will be subsequently accepted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) and/or by foreign regulatory authorities outside of the jurisdiction where the study was being performed;
the potential benefits and advantages of our product candidates and approaches versus those of our competitors;
the success of competing therapies that are or may become available;
the timing of and the ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approvals for our product candidates;
the rate and degree of market acceptance and clinical utility of any approved product candidates;
the size and growth potential of the markets for any approved product candidates, and our ability to serve those markets;

the impact of political, economic or public health events on our business and the U.S. and global economies;
our ability to attract and retain key scientific or management personnel;
general macroeconomic factors, including volatility in equity markets, fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates and political and regulatory developments or changes in trade policy, including tariffs;
our ability to obtain funding for our operations on favorable terms or at all, including funding necessary to complete further development and commercialization of our product candidates;

the risk of significant volatility in our stock price or an active trading market for shares of our common stock not developing or being sustained; and
our estimates regarding expenses, future revenue, capital requirements, and needs for additional financing.
These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including those described in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Moreover, we operate in a competitive and rapidly changing environment, and new risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this Quarterly Report may not occur, and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.
You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance, or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations, except as required by law.
You should read this Quarterly Report with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance, and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect.
Unless the context indicates otherwise, as used in this Quarterly Report, when we refer to “we”, “us”, “our,” or the “Company,” we refer to First Tracks Biotherapeutics following the Spin-Off and the combined company with AnaptysBio prior to the Spin-Off. First Tracks Biotherapeutics is our common law trademark. This Quarterly Report contains additional trade names, trademarks, and service marks of other companies, which are the property of their respective owners.
