Previous wording

Our major sources of cash have been proceeds from private placements and public offerings of equity securities, our loan and security agreements executed with Hercules (see Note 7 for more information), and the upfront payment from the Commercialization Agreement (see Note 2 for more information). Substantially all our operating losses have resulted from costs incurred in connection with our research and development programs and from selling, general and administrative costs associated with our operations, including our commercialization activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we generated $50.5 million in product revenue from sales of BRIUMVI. BRIUMVI first became commercially available in the United States in January of 2023. Even with the commercialization of BRIUMVI and the possible future commercialization of our other drug candidates, we may not become profitable. Our ability to achieve profitability depends on our ability to generate revenue and many other factors, including our ability to successfully commercialize our drug candidates alone or in partnership; successfully complete any post-approval regulatory obligations and our ability to maintain or obtain regulatory approval for our drug candidates. We may continue to incur operating losses even now that we are generating revenues from BRIUMVI.
