Previous wording

Since inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. Our net losses were $14.9 million and $14.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $266.3 million. We expect to continue to incur significant and increasing expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future, as we advance our current and future product candidates through preclinical and clinical development, manufacture drug product and drug supply, seek regulatory approval for our current and future product candidates, maintain and expand our intellectual property portfolio, hire additional research and development and business personnel and operate as a public company.

Previous wording

During the year ended December 31, 2023, we closed our initial public offering (“IPO”) and two PIPE transactions and received $37.8 million of net proceeds from these transactions.

We expect our cash and cash equivalents, and investments, totaling $28.1 million at June 30, 2025, to last into the third quarter of 2026.

Previous wording

In October 2024, we announced that the first patient had been dosed in a Phase 2, open-label, randomized, and controlled clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenously delivered Olvi-Vec oncolytic VACV for patients with recurrent non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”) in the United States. In accordance with our license agreement with our partner in China, Newsoara BioPharma Co. Ltd. (“Newsoara”), Newsoara is generally obligated to fund the Phase 2 NSCLC trial in its entirety in the United States and China. In November 2023, we agreed with Newsoara that Genelux would directly engage a contract research organization on mutually agreeable terms to conduct certain startup activities for the NSCLC trial in the U.S. only, with Newsoara reimbursing us for the costs and expenses of such agreed-upon startup activities. Newsoara is permitted to defer such reimbursement payments until the completion of its next round of financing, which Newsoara expects to occur in 2025.

In accordance with our license agreement (as amended, the “Newsoara License”) with our partner in China, Newsoara BioPharma Co. Ltd. (“Newsoara”), Newsoara is generally obligated to fund the Phase 2 NSCLC trial in its entirety in the United States and China (“VIRO-25 Trial”). In November 2023, we agreed with Newsoara that Genelux would directly engage a contract research organization (“CRO”) on mutually agreeable terms to conduct certain startup activities for the VIRO-25 Trial in the U.S. only, with Newsoara reimbursing us for the costs and expenses of such agreed-upon startup activities. Pursuant to a letter of understanding (the “LOU”), in September 2025, we agreed with Newsoara that the CRO would conduct additional study activities beyond startup for the VIRO-25 Trial in the United States and Newsoara would reimburse us for costs and expenses related to such additional activities; however, Newsoara is permitted to defer reimbursement of the foregoing costs and expenses until the earlier of: (i) completion of its next round of financing or (ii) December 31, 2026.

Previous wording

No revenue was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, under our license agreement with Newsoara, we invoiced and collected $0.2 million relating to supplying product for Newsoara to use in its clinical trials.

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Costs for certain activities are recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using data such as information provided to us by our vendors and analyzing the progress of our preclinical and clinical studies or other services performed. Significant judgement and estimates are made in determining the accrued expense balances at the end of any reporting period.

Previous wording

Research and development activities are central to our business model. Product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials. We expect research and development costs to increase significantly in the foreseeable futureas we continue the development of our current and future product candidates, commence additional clinical trials, manufacture greater volume of clinical supply and invest further in our manufacturing facilities. However, we do not believe that it is possible at this time to accurately project expenses through commercialization. There are numerous factors associated with the successful commercialization of any of our product candidates, including future trial design and various regulatory requirements, many of which cannot be determined with accuracy at this time based on our stage of development. Additionally, future commercial and regulatory factors beyond our control will impact our clinical development programs and plans.

Previous wording

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has experienced recurring losses from operations since inception and incurred a net loss of $14.9 million and used cash in operations of $12.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph in their report with respect to the uncertainty that accompanies our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional funds and implement its development strategies. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Previous wording

As of June 30, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and investments of $28.1 million. However, we do not have any committed external source of funds or other support for our developmental efforts. Until we can generate sufficient product revenue to finance our cash requirements, which we may never do, we expect to finance our future cash needs through a combination of public or private equity offerings and debt financings, which may include ATM Sales, or other capital sources such as potential collaborations, strategic alliances, licensing arrangements and other arrangements. Based on our research and development plans, we expect that our existing cash, cash equivalents and investments will fund our planned operations for the next 12 months from the date of filing of this Quarterly Report. 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. In addition, because the design and outcome of our anticipated and any future clinical trials is highly uncertain, we cannot reasonably estimate the actual amounts necessary to successfully complete the development and commercialization of Olvi-Vec or any future product candidates. Our existing cash balance may not be sufficient to complete the development of Olvi-Vec or any other product candidate.

Current wording

As of September 30, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments of $21.0 million.
