Research and development expenses increased by $10.9 million from $10.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $21.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily attributable to:

$5.0 million of increased costs associated with our lead program GlyphAllo, which was primarily due to advancement of our Phase 2b BUOY-1 trial which commenced in July 2025;

$4.5 million of increased costs associated with our GlyphAgo program, which was primarily due to advancement of our Phase 1 trial, for which we announced dosing of the first participant in September 2025 and completed the study in the second quarter of 2026;

$1.1 million of increased costs associated with employee compensation primarily due to increased headcount to support our research and development operations; and

$0.4 million of increased costs associated with stock-based compensation costs primarily due to additional equity grants issued under our 2024 Equity Plan, partially offset by;

$0.3 million of decreased costs associated with our Glyph2BLSD program due to timing of our research activities.

General and Administrative Expenses

The following table summarizes our general and administrative expenses (in thousands):

Three Months Ended March 31,
20262025$ Change
Employee compensation (excluding stock-based compensation)$2,446$1,902$544

Facilities, depreciation, IT, and other78774443
Total general and administrative expenses$6,112$5,651$461

General and administrative expenses increased by $0.5 million from $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to:

$0.5 million of increased employee compensation, excluding stock-based compensation due to increased headcount to support our operations; and

$0.6 million of increased stock-based compensation expense primarily due to increased headcount to support our operations, partially offset by;

$0.7 million of decreased professional fees primarily due to lower audit and legal fees.

Other Income, Net

Other income, net decreased by $0.4 million from $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The decrease in other income, net was primarily attributed to decrease in interest income on our investments and cash equivalents due to the amount of funds invested in interest bearing accounts, offset by an increase in our research and development tax credit as a result of qualifying research and development spend in Australia.

Income tax provision

Income tax provision increased by $0.5 million from $0.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The increase in the income tax provision was attributed to foreign income taxes related to our Australian subsidiary primarily as a result of our research and development tax credit in Australia.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we had a net loss of $25.4 million and $13.1 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $139.5 million. We have not generated any revenue from product sales and we do not expect to generate revenue from sales of products in the near term, if at all. We expect to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future as we advance our product candidates into and through clinical development and as we continue to develop additional product candidates. As such, we expect our research and development and general and administrative costs to continue to increase significantly, including the costs associated with operating as a public company.

To date, prior to our initial public offering, we have funded our operations with the aggregate gross proceeds of $326.1 million from the Series A and Series B Financings. During the second quarter of 2026, we raised aggregate net proceeds of $238.7 million from the sale of shares of common stock in our initial public offering, after deducting underwriter discounts, commissions and other estimated offering expenses. As of March 31, 2026, we had cash, cash equivalents and investments of $212.6 million. Based on our current operating plans, we believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and investments, together with the net proceeds from our IPO completed during the second quarter of 2026, will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into 2029.

Cash Flows

The following table provides information regarding our cash flows for the period presented (in thousands):

Our balance sheet is affected by spot exchange rates used to translate local currency amounts into U.S. dollars. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, we have eliminated the effect of foreign currency throughout our cash flow statement, except for its effect on our cash and cash equivalents.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $20.2 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Cash used in operating activities was unchanged due to an increase in our operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026, offset by a reduction in prepaid deposits for our clinical development activities and an increase in our accounts payables balance due to timing of payments.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $27.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $225.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Cash used in investing activities decreased by $253.4 million due to the initial purchases of U.S. treasuries in accordance with our investment policy during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Net Cash Used in by Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, consisting of payments of deferred offering costs. There were no cash flows from financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Future Funding Requirements

As of March 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents, and investments of $212.6 million. Based upon our current operating plans, we believe that the net proceeds from our initial public offering completed during the second quarter of 2026, together with our cash, cash equivalents and investments as of March 31, 2026, will be sufficient to fund our operations into 2029. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we expect.

Due to the inherently unpredictable nature of preclinical and clinical development and given the early stage of our programs and product candidates, we cannot reasonably estimate the costs we will incur and the timelines that will be required to complete development, obtain any marketing approval, and commercialize our products, if and when approved. For the same reasons, we are also unable to predict when, if ever, we will generate revenue from product sales or whether, or when, if ever, we may achieve profitability. Clinical and preclinical development timelines, the probability of success, and development costs can differ materially from expectations. In addition, we cannot forecast which products, if approved, may be subject to future collaborations, when such arrangements will be secured, if at all, and to what degree such arrangements would affect our development plans and capital requirements. We will need to raise substantial additional capital in the future.

Our primary uses of capital are to fund research and development activities, compensation and related expenses, and general overhead costs. We expect our expenses to increase substantially in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we advance our current and future product candidates through discovery, preclinical studies, and clinical trials.

Our funding requirements and timing and amount of our operating expenditures will depend on many factors, including:

the scope, timing, progress, costs, and results of discovery, preclinical development and clinical trials for our current or future product candidates and effectiveness of our Glyph platform;

the number of clinical trials required for regulatory approval of our current or future product candidates;

the costs, timing, and outcome of regulatory review of any of our current or future product candidates;

the costs associated with acquiring or licensing additional product candidates, technologies or assets, including the timing and amount of any milestones, royalties, or other payments due in connection with our acquisitions and licenses, as applicable;

the cost of manufacturing clinical and commercial supplies of our current or future product candidates;

the costs and timing of preparing, filing, and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights and defending any intellectual property-related claims, including any claims by third parties that we are infringing upon their intellectual property rights;

our ability to maintain existing, and establish new, strategic collaborations or other arrangements and the financial terms of any such agreements, including the timing and amount of any future milestone, royalty or other payments due under any such agreement;

the costs and timing of future commercialization activities, including manufacturing, marketing, sales, and distribution, for any of our product candidates for which we receive marketing approval;

the revenue, if any, received from commercial sales of our product candidates for which we receive marketing approval;

expenses to attract, hire, and retain skilled personnel;

the costs of operating as a public company;

our ability to establish a commercially viable pricing structure and obtain approval for coverage and adequate reimbursement from third-party and government payors;

the effect of macroeconomic trends including inflation, tariffs, and fluctuating interest rates;

addressing any potential supply chain interruptions or delays;

the effect of competing technological and market developments; and

the extent to which we acquire or invest in businesses, products, and technologies.

Until such time, if ever, that we can generate substantial product revenue, we expect to finance our operations through a combination of public and private equity offerings, debt and royalty financings, or other sources of capital, which may include additional collaborations with other companies, or licensing arrangements with third parties, or other similar arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our stockholders will or could be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders. Debt or royalty financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making acquisitions or capital expenditures, or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through additional collaborations, strategic alliances, or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs, product candidates, or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional capital or obtain adequate funding when needed or on acceptable terms, we may be required to delay, scale back, or discontinue our research, product development, or future commercialization efforts, or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Asset Transfer Agreement with PureTech

We were incorporated in April 2024 by PureTech LYT, as our sole stockholder, and upon formation issued 318 shares of our common stock to PureTech LYT.

The royalty term will expire on a country-by-country basis as to each Seaport Glyph Product on the later of the ten year anniversary of the first commercial sale of such Seaport Glyph Product in such country or the date on which the last valid claim of patent rights of such Seaport Glyph Product expires in such country.

Monash License Agreement

Under the Monash License Agreement, we have agreed to use reasonable commercial endeavors to (i) develop at least one Licensed Product, (ii) seek regulatory approval for at least one Licensed Product, and (iii) after receipt of such regulatory approval in the United States or Europe, promote and develop the sale of at least one Licensed Product in such territory. Monash University agrees to provide reasonable technical assistance and advice based on Monash University’s know-how relating to the technology licensed under the Monash License Agreement.

As consideration for the licenses granted by Monash University, we are required to pay Monash University: (i) low-single digit royalties with a rate based on net sales per calendar year (subject to certain reductions); (ii) a low-double digit percentage (within the range of 5-15%) of any net income received under a sublicense (subject to a license payment stacking reduction) with the percentage varying based on the development stage of the licensed products at the time the sublicense is granted during the term of the Monash License Agreement; (iii) an agreed upon research funding amount to progress mutually agreed research and development or commercialization activities; (iv) a mid-five-figure annual maintenance fee during the term of the agreement commencing on the third anniversary of the execution date of the Original License Agreement until the first commercial sale of a Licensed Product creditable against net income sharing, royalties, and milestone payments; (v) milestone payments in the event of successful development milestones of up to $1.075 million per Licensed Product for the first three Licensed Products; and (vi) milestone payments in the event of successful commercial milestones of up to $7.25 million per Licensed Product for the first three Licensed Products.
