2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Standards
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted from this report, as is permitted by such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 28, 2024 (the “Annual Report”).
The financial information as of September 30, 2024, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, is unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including those which are normal and recurring) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information have been included. The balance sheet data as of December 31, 2023 was derived from audited consolidated financial statements. The results of the Company’s operations for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year.
Based on its current operating plan, the Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024, will be adequate to fund its currently anticipated operating expenses for at least twelve months from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company will need to secure additional funding in the future, from one or more equity or debt financings, collaborations, or other sources, in order to carry out all of the Company’s planned research and development activities and regulatory activities; commercialize product candidates; or conduct any substantial, additional development requirements requested by the FDA. Additional funding may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all. If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it will be required to significantly decrease the amount of planned expenditures and may be required to cease operations. In addition, any disruption in the capital markets could make any financing more challenging, and there can be no assurance that Pulmatrix will be able to obtain such financing on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Curtailment of operations would cause significant delays in the Company’s efforts to develop and introduce its products to market, which is critical to the realization of its business plan and the future operations of the Company.
Use of Estimates
In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Due to inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results may differ from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions. The most significant estimates and assumptions in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have included, but are not limited to, estimates of future expected costs in order to derive and recognize revenue and estimates related to clinical trial accruals and upfront deposits.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Cash is a financial instrument that potentially subjects the Company to concentrations of credit risk. For all periods presented, substantially all of the Company’s cash was deposited in accounts at a single financial institution that management believes is creditworthy, and the Company has not incurred any losses to date. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by this financial institution for amounts in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, revenue from two customers accounted for 100% of revenue recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, revenue from one customer accounted for 100% of revenue recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, one customer accounted for 100% of accounts receivable.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2,Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Standards, in the Annual Report. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company did not make any changes to its significant accounting policies.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. The Company did not adopt any new accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 that had a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2023-07,Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). The guidance in ASU 2023-07 expands prior reportable segment disclosure requirements by requiring entities to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and details of how the CODM uses financial reporting to assess their segment’s performance. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The standard is required to be applied retrospectively upon adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2023-07 may have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2023-09,Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures(“ASU 2023-09”). The guidance in ASU 2023-09 improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The standard becomes effective for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2023-09 may have on its consolidated financial statements.
As of September 30, 2024, there are no other new, or existing recently issued, accounting pronouncements that are of significance, or potential significance, that impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

6. Significant Agreements
Development and Commercialization Agreement with Cipla Technologies LLC (“Cipla”)
On April 15, 2019, the Company entered into a Development and Commercialization Agreement (the “Cipla Agreement”) with Cipla for the co-development and commercialization, on a worldwide exclusive basis, of PUR1900, the Company’s inhaled iSPERSE*™*drug delivery system (the “Product”) enabled formulation of the antifungal drug itraconazole, which is only available as an oral drug, for the treatment of all pulmonary indications, including allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (“ABPA”) in patients with asthma. The Company entered into an amendment to the Cipla Agreement on November 8, 2021 (the “Second Amendment”) and a subsequent amendment on January 6, 2024 (the “Third Amendment”). All references to the Cipla Agreement herein refer to the Cipla Agreement, as amended.
The Company received a non-refundable upfront payment of $22.0 million (the “Upfront Payment”) under the Cipla Agreement. Upon receipt of the Upfront Payment, the Company irrevocably assigned to Cipla the following assets, solely to the extent that each covers the Product in connection with any treatment, prevention, and/or diagnosis of diseases of the pulmonary system (“Pulmonary Indications”): all existing and future technologies, current and future drug master files, dossiers, third-party contracts, regulatory filings, regulatory materials and regulatory approvals, patents, and intellectual property rights, as well as any other associated rights and assets directly related to the Product, specifically in relation to Pulmonary Indications (collectively, the “Assigned Assets”), excluding most specifically the Company’s iSPERSE*™* technology. A portion of the Upfront Payment was deposited by the Company into a bank account, along with an equal amount from the Company, and was dedicated to the development of the Product (the “Initial Development Funding”). The Initial Development Funding was depleted during the year ended December 31, 2021, at which point the Company and Cipla each became responsible for a portion of the development costs actually incurred as described below (the “Co-Development Phase”).
Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the Company and Cipla were each responsible for 60% and 40%, respectively, of the Company’s overhead costs and the time spent by the Company’s employees and consultants on development of the Product (“Direct Costs”). The Company shared all other development costs with Cipla that were not Direct Costs, such as the cost of clinical research organizations, manufacturing costs and other third-party costs, on a 50/50 basis.
Pursuant to the Third Amendment, the Company and Cipla agreed that, during the period commencing on January 6, 2024 and ending July 30, 2024 (the “Wind Down Period”), the Company would complete all Phase 2b activities, assign or license all patents to Cipla and their registration with the appropriate authorities in regions other than the United States, complete a physical and demonstrable technology transfer and secure all data from the Phase 2b study for inclusion in the safety database. The Company shared costs with Cipla during the Wind Down Period in the same proportions in effect with the Second Amendment discussed above, but subject to a maximum reimbursement amount by Cipla as approved by the joint steering committee. The Company completed all Phase 2b activities by the end of the Wind Down Period. The Company is in the process of settling certain final bills with its PUR1900 contractors, which together comprise an immaterial balance recorded within accounts payable as of September 30, 2024.
Accounting Treatment
The Company originally concluded that because both it and Cipla are active participants in the arrangement and are exposed to the significant risks and rewards of the collaboration, the Company’s collaboration with Cipla is within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 808,Collaborative Arrangements(“ASC 808”). The Company concluded that Cipla is a customer since they contracted with the Company to obtain research and development services and a license to the Assigned Assets, each of which is an output of the Company’s ordinary activities, in exchange for consideration. Therefore, the Company has applied the guidance in ASC 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers(“ASC 606”) to account for the research and development services and a license within the contract. The Company determined that the research and development services and license to the Assigned Assets are considered highly interdependent and highly interrelated and therefore are considered a single combined performance obligation because Cipla cannot benefit from the license without the performance by the Company of the research and development services. Such research and development services are highly specialized and proprietary to the Company and therefore not available to Cipla from any other third party.
The Company initially determined the total transaction price to be $22.0 million – comprised of $12.0 million for research and development services for the Product and $10.0 million for the irrevocable license to the Assigned Assets. Any consideration related to the Co-Development Phase was not initially included in the transaction price as such amounts were subject to the variable consideration constraint. Additionally, the Company has fully constrained any transaction price that might be realized upon commercialization.
Revenue is recognized for the Cipla Agreement as the research and development services are provided using an input method, according to the ratio of costs incurred to the total costs expected to be incurred in the future to satisfy the Company’s obligations. In management’s judgment, this input method is the best measure of the transfer of control of the combined performance obligation. The amounts received that have not yet been recognized as revenue are recorded in deferred revenue on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, with amounts expected to be recognized in the next 12 months recorded as current.
The Company concluded that the Third Amendment is a contract modification that should be accounted for as part of the existing contract. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized $0.3 million and $6.9 million, respectively, in revenue related to the research and development services and irrevocable license to the Assigned Assets in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, as compared to $1.8 million and $5.1 million, respectively, recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The revenue recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily associated with the cumulative catch-up recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2024, from the contract modification, that had been included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the period. As of September 30, 2024, all of the Company’s performance obligations have been satisfied.
Agreements with MannKind Corporation (“MannKind”)
On May 28, 2024, the Company executed certain agreements with MannKind and the Company’s landlord (collectively, the “MannKind Transaction”), all of which closed during July 2024. The agreements with MannKind included a Bill of Sale and Assignment Agreement (the “Bill of Sale”) with respect to the assignment of the Company’s rental facility at 36 Crosby Drive, Bedford, Massachusetts (the “Bedford Facility”) to MannKind along with the transfer of all leasehold improvements, laboratory equipment and other related personal property. In connection with the assignment of the Bedford Facility, the Company, MannKind and Cobalt Propco 2020, LLC (the “Landlord”) entered into an Amendment to Lease and Consent to Assignment of Lease (the “Lease Assignment Agreement”) pursuant to that certain Lease Agreement, dated as of January 7, 2022 (the “Lease Agreement”), by and between the Company and the Landlord. Pursuant to the Lease Assignment Agreement, MannKind assumed all of the Company’s obligations under the Lease Agreement, including all rent and other payments.
In connection with these transactions, the Company and MannKind entered into an Intellectual Property Cross License Agreement (the “Cross License Agreement”). Pursuant to the Cross License Agreement, the Company granted to MannKind (i) an exclusive license to develop, use, manufacture, market, offer and sell iSPERSE formulations of Clofazimine, (ii) an exclusive license to develop, use, manufacture, market, offer and sell formulations of iSPERSE with one more active pharmaceutical ingredients for the treatment of nontuberculous mycobacteria lung disease in humans, (iii) an exclusive license to develop, use, manufacture, market, offer and sell iSPERSE formulations of insulin, (iv) a non-exclusive license to develop, use, manufacture, market, offer and sell formulations of iSPERSE with one more active pharmaceutical ingredients for the treatment of endocrine disease in humans, and (v) a non-exclusive license to develop, use, manufacture, market, offer and sell formulations of iSPERSE with one more active pharmaceutical ingredients for the treatment of interstitial lung diseases (including IPF, PPF and other related lung diseases) in humans (collectively, the “Out-License”).
Additionally, pursuant to the Cross License Agreement, MannKind granted to the Company (i) the exclusive right to develop, use, manufacture, market, offer and sell its single-use disposable dry powder inhaler (including all modifications or improvement thereto made by or on behalf of the Company, the “Cricket Device”) for the inhaled delivery of dihydroergotamine in any formulation whatsoever, including the Company’s PUR3100 treatment of acute migraine and (ii) a non-exclusive license to develop, use, manufacture, market, offer and sell the Cricket Device for the inhaled delivery of one more active pharmaceutical ingredients formulated with iSPERSE for the treatment of neurological disease in humans (collectively, the “In-License”).
Additionally, pursuant to the Master Services Agreement, by and between the Company and MannKind, MannKind shall provide certain development services to the Company, including but not limited to, activities to develop a dry powder formulation of the active pharmaceutical ingredient that the Company provides to MannKind for oral inhalation using iSPERSE.
To maintain continuity of iSPERSE platform knowledge, MannKind hired certain members of the Company’s research and development staff in July 2024.
Accounting Treatment
The Company determined that the MannKind Transaction represents a combined agreement for accounting purposes, as the individual components have the same overall commercial objectives and the consideration under each component is dependent on the other components.
The consideration due to the Company in the MannKind Transaction consists solely of the non-cash consideration in the form of the In-License. The fair value of the non-cash consideration received should be allocated to the other components of the MannKind Transaction to determine the consideration received for the other components. The Company determined that the fair value of the In-License is immaterial given that adequate alternative inhaler devices are already available on the market (and indeed, the Company has already established use of another third-party inhalation device in their PUR3100 Phase 1 trial that performed well as a DHE delivery device as reported in a peer-reviewed publication), and considering optional purchases of Cricket Devices are at market prices. Accordingly, the consideration allocated to other components of the MannKind Transaction was immaterial.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company accounted for the Lease Assignment Agreement upon execution as a lease modification that reduced the lease term to the assignment date in July 2024. Accordingly, the Company remeasured its operating lease liability as of the modification date to reflect the decrease in fixed lease payments, with the amount of the remeasurement, $8.4 million, adjusted by a corresponding reduction to the right-of-use asset.
The Company determined that its operating lease right-of-use asset and property and equipment subject to the Bill of Sale represented a disposal group that became held for sale during the second quarter of 2024 and remained classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2024. The Company recorded a full write-down of the disposal group’s carrying value as of June 30, 2024, in the amount of $2.6 million. Upon the closing of the MannKind Transaction in July 2024, the disposal group was disposed.
Concurrent with the closing of the MannKind Transaction, the Company terminated and MannKind hired the majority of the Company’s research and development employees, representing approximately two-thirds of the Company’s workforce at the time. The Company agreed to provide termination benefits to these employees, which has been fully paid as of September 30, 2024.
7. Common Stock
In May 2021, the Company entered into an At-The-Market Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright and Co., LLC (“HCW”) to act as the Company’s sales agent with respect to the issuance and sale of up to $20.0 million of the Company’s shares of common stock, from time to time in an at-the-market public offering (the “ATM Offering”). Upon filing of the Annual Report, the Company continued to be subject to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, pursuant to which in no event willthe Company sell its common stock in a registered primary offering using Form S-3 with a value exceeding more than one-third of its public float in any 12 calendar month period so long as its public float remains below $75,000,000. Therefore, the amount that may be able to be raised using the ATM Offering will be significantly less than $20,000,000, until such time as the Company’s public float held by non-affiliates exceeds $75,000,000.
Sales of common stock under the Sales Agreement are made pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was filed with the SEC on May 17, 2024, and subsequently declared effective on May 30, 2024 (File No. 333-279491), and a related prospectus. HCW acts as the Company’s sales agent on a commercially reasonable efforts basis, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations and the rules of The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”). If expressly authorized by the Company, HCW may also sell the Company’s common stock in privately negotiated transactions. There is no specific date on which the ATM Offering will end, there are no minimum sale requirements and there are no arrangements to place any of the proceeds of the ATM Offering in an escrow, trust or similar account. HCW is entitled to compensation at a fixed commission rate of 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, no shares of the Company’s common stock were sold under the Sales Agreement.

In some instances, the contracts, subject to certain conditions, may be cancelled by the third party. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had no material noncancellable commitments not expected to be reimbursed under the Cipla Agreement.
Legal Proceedings
In the ordinary course of its business, the Company may be involved in various legal proceedings involving contractual and employment relationships, patent or other intellectual property rights, and a variety of other matters.

11. Leases
New Corporate Headquarters
The Company has limited leasing activities as a lessee which are primarily related to its corporate headquarters, which were relocated during the third quarter of 2023 and again during the third quarter of 2024.
In June 2024, the Company entered into a short-term lease agreement for its new headquarters at 945 Concord Street, Framingham, Massachusetts. No lease liability or right-of-use asset has been recorded for this short-term lease, and the short-term lease cost associated with this lease is immaterial.
Previous Headquarters
On May 28, 2024, as part of the MannKind Transaction (see further discussion in Note 6,Significant Agreements), the Company and the Landlord executed the Lease Assignment Agreement to assign the Lease Agreement to MannKind in July 2024. The Company accounted for the Lease Assignment Agreement as a lease modification that reduced the lease term to the assignment date in July 2024. Accordingly, during the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company remeasured its lease liability as of the modification date to reflect the decrease in fixed lease payments, with the amount of the remeasurement, $8.4 million, adjusted by a corresponding reduction to the right-of-use asset.
Following the closing of the MannKind Transaction, $1.4 million of restricted cash was released in August 2024, which had been held in a depository account at a financial institution to collateralize a conditional stand-by letter of credit related to the Lease Agreement.
The components of lease expense for the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:
| Three Months Ended September 30, · Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 · 2023 · 2024 · 2023 | |||||
| Lease cost | |||||

| Variable lease cost | 8 | 203 | 214 | 484 | |
| Total lease cost | $8 | $756 | $892 | $1,833 | |
| Other information | |||||
| Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities | $24 | $2,699 | $681 | $3,562 | |
| Weighted-average remaining lease term | - | 10.2 years | |||
| Weighted-average discount rate | - | 11.00% | |||
12. Income Taxes
The Company hadno income tax expense due to operating losses incurred for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Management of the Company evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon the realizability of its deferred tax assets and determined that it is more likely than not that the Company will not recognize the benefits of the deferred tax assets. As a result, a full valuation allowance was recorded as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
The Company applies ASC 740,Income Taxes, for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. Unrecognized tax benefits represent tax positions for which reserves have been established. A full valuation allowance has been provided against the Company’s deferred tax assets, so that the effect of the unrecognized tax benefits is to reduce the gross amount of the deferred tax asset and the corresponding valuation allowance. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
13. Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing the weighted-average number common shares outstanding during the period, after taking into consideration any potentially dilutive effects from outstanding stock options or warrants.
Basic and diluted net loss per share were the same for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, as the effect of potentially dilutive securities would have been anti-dilutive.
The following potentially dilutive securities outstanding have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding, because such securities had an anti-dilutive impact:
| Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Options to purchase common stock | 250,897 | 364,975 |
| Warrants to purchase common stock | 934,373 | 1,161,493 |
| Total options and warrants to purchase common stock | 1,185,270 | 1,526,468 |
