Current report
We have incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. Given our recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows, and based on our current operating plan, we have concluded that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date of filing of this Form 10-Q. We expect to finance our future cash needs through equity or debt financings, collaborations or a combination of these approaches. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Limited Operating History, Financial Condition and Need for Additional Capital” for additional information.
Current report
Net cash provided by financing activities for thesix months ended June 30, 2025 was $18.5 million, which primarily consisted of the net proceeds from the term loan with K2HV.

Interest expense of $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 consisted of interest expense related to our Loan Agreement, as well as amortization of debit issuance costs and accretion of the final payment fee.
Previous report
Based upon our current operating plan, we believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through at least the next 12 months following the issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements. However, we anticipate that we will need to raise additional financing in the future to fund our operationsand pursue our long-term business plan, including the development and commercialization of our product candidates, if approved. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we expect. We may also raise additional financing on an opportunistic basis in the future. We expect to continue to expend significant resources for the foreseeable future.
Reworded paragraphs (21)
Previous wording
We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company founded to confront the greatest medical challenges of our generation by bringing forward the next generation of novel therapies with brain-penetrant chemistry that offer improved treatment outcomes and quality of life for patients. Our therapeutic pipeline currently consists of programs that target novel mechanisms of action for a broad range of underserved, prevalent diseases. We are advancing a Phase 3 program for navacaprant, a novel once-daily oral kappa opioid receptor (“KOR”) antagonist that is being developed for the treatment of major depressive disorder (“MDD”), which we believe has the potential to provide significant advantages relative to the standard of care, if approved. We are also advancing NMRA-511, a highly selective, novel antagonist of the vasopressin 1a receptor (“V1aR”) being developed for the treatment of agitation associated with dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease (“AD”). Beyond navacaprant and NMRA-511, Neumora is advancing NMRA-898, a novel muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtype 4 (“M4”) positive allosteric modulator (“PAM”) with potential best in class pharmacology for the treatment of schizophrenia. Additionally, Neumora is developing NMRA-215, a highly brain-penetrant, oral NLRP3 inhibitor for the treatment of obesity. We expect several updates from these programs throughout 2026, including to report Phase 3 KOASTAL-2 and -3 topline data in the second quarter of 2026, report multiple ascending dose (“MAD”) extension data with NMRA-511 in the second half of 2026, and to report MAD data with NMRA-898 in the second half of 2026.
