Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
1. Business
Celularity Inc., (“Celularity” or the “Company” and formerly known as GX Acquisition Corp), was incorporated in Delaware August 24, 2018. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries include, among others, Celularity, LLC, CariCord, Inc. and Anthrogenesis, LLC. Celularity is a longevity-focused regenerative and cellular medicine company developing and manufacturing investigational cellular therapy candidates derived from the postpartum placenta.

Its business includes cellular therapy research and development, manufacturing and related services, biobanking services operated primarily under the Lifebank brand, and biomaterials activities conducted through applicable licensing, manufacturing, supply and distribution arrangements. The Company’s strategy is to concentrate resources on its cellular therapy platform and manufacturing capabilities while pursuing revenue-generating opportunities through third-party services, biobanking and retained biomaterials activities.
Going Concern
In accordance with ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern, management evaluates whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Management has evaluated the Company’s current financial position, liquidity, capital resources, and projected cash flows and has determined that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company has generally not been profitable and since its inception, the Company has incurred significant operating losses and used net cash for operating activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded net income of $874. Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,447 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which included $12,159 of proceeds from the sale of New Jersey net operating loss carryforwards; excluding those proceeds, operating activities used net cash. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $990,609 and had a working capital deficit of $64,282. While the Company raised additional debt financing in September 2026 (see Note 22 Subsequent Events), the Company needs to secure additional financing and there is no assurance that financing can be raised or at acceptable terms. These factors indicate the Company may be unable to meet its obligations as they become due over the next 12 months or sooner and continue as a going concern.
The Company has historically funded operations through sales of products and services, alongside equity and debt securities financings from both public and private investors. Based on the Company’s current cash burn rate, existing cash on hand is insufficient to fund operations, meet payroll and satisfy contractual debt obligations for the 12-month period following the issuance date of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
In early 2026, the Company implemented operational restructuring initiatives aimed at reducing overhead costs, streamlining headcount, and reallocating resources toward core commercial opportunities. Revenue growth, which is not certain, will be required to achieve break-even operating cash flows on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis.
Management is also actively seeking additional capital through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, strategic collaborations, or other financing transactions. However, these plans are not fully committed, are subject to market conditions, and remain outside of the Company’s control. Accordingly, management cannot conclude that it is probable these plans will be successfully implemented or that, if implemented, they will alleviate the substantial doubt.
On May 27, 2026, the Company received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) due to the delay in filing its Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2026. On June 9, 2026, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq indicating that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) due to its market value of listed securities falling below the $35 million threshold for 30 consecutive business days. Nasdaq provided the Company until December 7, 2026 to regain compliance with this requirement. On July 23, 2026, Nasdaq additionally notified the Company of non-compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement after its closing bid price remained below that threshold for 30 consecutive business days. Nasdaq provided the Company until January 19, 2027 to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. On August 21, 2026, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq indicating that it remained out of compliance with the timely filing requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) due to its failure to timely file its Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2026 and its continuing delinquency in filing its Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2026. The Company submitted a compliance plan to Nasdaq on September 3, 2026. Any extension granted by Nasdaq would extend no later than November 16, 2026.
To regain compliance with the market value and minimum bid price requirements, the Company must satisfy the applicable threshold for at least 10 consecutive business days within the respective compliance period, subject to Nasdaq’s discretion to require a longer period. As of the date of this report, the Company has not received written confirmation from Nasdaq that it has regained compliance with either requirement. While the Company is taking steps to regain compliance with all applicable Nasdaq rules, there can be no assurance that it will do so within the applicable periods, and failure to do so could result in the delisting of the Company’s common stock. Delisting could severely impair the liquidity and market value of the Company’s common stock and significantly restrict its ability to raise additional capital.
If the Company is unable to secure sufficient additional capital or generate positive cash flows from operations to satisfy its obligations as they become due over the next 12 months, including the repayment or refinancing of outstanding indebtedness, management will be forced to pursue strategic alternatives. These alternatives may include, but are not limited to:
| ● | Severely curtailing or ceasing commercial and research operations; |
| ● | Monetizing or selling core intellectual property and operating assets; |
| ● | Completing a merger or sale of the business to a strategic or financial partner; or |
| ● | Seeking relief under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or entering into an out-of-court liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors. |
The combination of recurring operating losses, working capital deficits, insufficient cash reserves, debt maturities, and Nasdaq non-compliance status raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date these financial statements are issued. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) rules for the presentation of interim financial statements, which permit certain disclosures to be condensed or omitted. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of wholly owned subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information presented herein includes all financial information that, in the opinion of management, is necessary for a fair statement of consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, assumptions related to the Company’s goodwill and intangible asset impairment assessments, determination of incremental borrowing rates, accrual of research and development expenses, and the valuations of inventory, contingent consideration, short-term debt, stock options and stock warrants. The Company based its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates when there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value Measurements
Certain assets and liabilities of the Company are presented at fair value. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities presented at fair value are classified and disclosed in the following hierarchy:
| ● | Level 1 — Observable quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| ● | Level 2 — Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. |
| ● | Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques. |
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenue from (i) sales of degenerative disease products Biovance®, Biovance 3L®, CentaFlex®, and Interfyl® (ii) sales of biobanking umbilical cord and placental blood and tissue collection, processing and storage services and (iii) license, royalty and other arrangements. See the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for net sales by category.
Concentrations of Credit Risk and Significant Customers and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, and accounts receivable. The Company generally maintains balances in various operating accounts at financial institutions that management believes to be of high credit quality, in amounts that may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses related to its cash and cash equivalents or restricted cash and does not believe that it is subject to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships.
The Company is subject to collection risk from trade accounts receivable related to both degenerative disease product sales and biobanking services. The Company provides for estimates of uncollectible accounts receivable based on historical collection experience, the age of accounts receivable balances, and the credit quality of its customers. All product and services customers are in the United States. As of March 31, 2026, two of the Company’s customers, each of which individually comprised at least 10%, represented an aggregate 36% of the Company’s outstanding gross accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2025, two of the Company’s customers, each of which individually comprised at least 10%, represented an aggregate 37% of the Company’s outstanding gross accounts receivable.
During the three months ending March 31, 2026, the Company had two customers, each of which individually comprised at least 10%, provide for an aggregate 37% of revenue. During the three months ending March 31, 2025, the Company had two customers, each of which individually comprised at least 10%, provide for an aggregate 50% of revenue.
Equity Method Investments
The Company accounts for its investment in Defeye, Inc. using the equity method. Defeye’s shares are not publicly traded and their fair value is not readily determinable. The Company uses the measurement alternative under ASC 321; the investment was recorded at cost, adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for the same or similar securities of Defeye. In the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company determined that the fair value of the investment was fully impaired due to uncertain market prospects and was expensed.
Net Income (Loss) per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock includes the effect, if any, from the potential exercise or conversion of securities, such as redeemable convertible preferred stock, convertible debt, stock options, restricted stock units and warrants, which would result in the issuance of incremental shares of common stock. The dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock units and warrants is computed using the treasury stock method, and the dilutive effect of convertible preferred stock and convertible debt is computed using the if-converted method. However, potential common shares are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company uses the two-class method, because certain warrants are participating securities that participate in dividends with Class A common stock for basic net loss per share. Under the two-class method, undistributed earnings are allocated between Class A common stock and the participating warrants based on their respective rights to receive dividends. Net losses are not allocated to the participating warrants because the holders do not have a contractual obligation to share in the Company’s losses; accordingly, the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was not allocated to the warrants, while net income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was allocated as described above.
The computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share was as follows:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Numerator: | ||
| Net income (loss) | $874 | $(19,754) |
| Earnings allocated to participating warrants | (199) | - |
| Net income (loss) allocated to common shareholders | $675 | $(19,754) |
| Denominator: | ||
| Weighted-average shares outstanding - basic | 29,068,076 | 23,530,877 |
| Effect of dilutive securities: | ||
| Stock options | 2,555 | — |
| Preferred stock | 1,229,373 | — |
| Weighted-average shares outstanding - diluted | 30,300,004 | 23,530,877 |
| Net income (loss) per share: | ||
| Basic | $0.02 | $(0.84) |
| Diluted | $0.02 | $(0.84) |
The following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding as they would be anti-dilutive:
| March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Stock options | 3,945,712 | 3,941,137 |
| Restricted stock units | 624,193 | 581,832 |
| Market condition stock units | 28,665 | — |
| Warrants | 25,774,577 | 10,133,302 |
| Convertible debt | 1,807,229 | 1,195,302 |
| Total | 32,180,376 | 15,851,573 |
Segment Information
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the chief operating decision maker and manages Company operations inthree distinct businesses segments: Cell Therapy, BioBanking and Degenerative Disease. Assets are not tracked at a segment level.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company recognizes credit losses based on forward-looking current expected credit losses. The Company makes estimates of expected credit losses based upon its assessment of various factors, including historical collection experience, the age of accounts receivable balances, credit quality of its customers, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect its ability to collect from customers.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability. When it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company’s financial reporting, the Company undertakes a study to determine the consequences of the change to its financial statements.
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03,Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, as subsequently amended by ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date, which is intended to provide more detailed information about specified categories of expenses (purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization) included in certain expense captions presented on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The guidance in this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments may be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for periods after the effective date of this ASU or (2) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of the adoption of ASU 2025-11 on the consolidated financial statements
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-04,Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards and Accounting for Certain Share-Based Payment Awards Issued to a Customer. This update clarifies how to determine whether a profits interest or similar award should be accounted for under Topic 718 and provides guidance on accounting for share-based payment awards granted to customers in conjunction with revenue arrangements. The ASU removes the option to elect a policy to account for forfeitures as they occur, instead requiring entities to estimate forfeitures. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of the adoption of ASU 2025-11 on the consolidated financial statements
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-07,Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration From a Customer in a Revenue Contract. ASU 2025-07 introduces guidance for applying derivative accounting to contracts that include features tied to the operations or activities of one of the parties to the contract. It also aims to reduce diversity in how share-based payments are accounted for in revenue contracts. ASU 2025-07 will be effective for the annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the consolidated financial statements.
3. Asset Purchases and Sales
Sequence Asset Purchase
In October 2024, the Company acquired Sequence LifeScience, Inc. (“Sequence”) Rebound™ full thickness placental-derived allograft matrix product and related intangible assets in exchange for $5,500, comprised of cash payments totaling of $1,500 and monthly milestone payments totaling $4,000. A contingent liability was recorded for future milestone payments. Transaction costs were not significant. The fair value of the net assets acquired exceeded the initial cash payments for the purchase and the value of intangible assets acquired were reduced accordingly. Milestone payments are calculated at 20% of net related product sales collected from customers during the preceding calendar month andmilestone payments made reduce the contingent consideration liability. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the accrued milestone payments were $3,127.
License
In March 2026 and as amended in April 2026, the Company sold NexGel, Inc. an exclusive, transferable and sublicensable license to develop and commercialize certain degenerative disease products in exchange for $13.3 million. NexGel paid the Company $4.8 million cash at closing, $.6 million cash in the 2 nd quarter of 2026, which was contingent on the Company filing its 2025 Report on Form 10-K, NexGel assumed the obligation to pay sales commissions of $2.9 million earned by and owed to certain Celularity employees, and NexGel issued Celularity a $5.0 million 18-month convertible note which, subject to certain conditions, is convertible into NexGel common stock. The note was subsequently split into two notes of $2.5 million each, one of which was assigned to Helena Global Investment Opportunities, Ltd as partial satisfaction of amounts due Helena and one of which was assigned to Sequence LifeSciences, Inc. as partial satisfaction of amounts due Sequence, see Subsequent Events.
TheNexGel license agreement entitles the Company to earn up to $20.0 million in milestone payments, with the first milestone payment of $2.5 million due to the Company upon the earlier of NexGel achieving $25.0 million in net sales or 15 months, provided that net sales of at least $15.0 million have been achieved.
4. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
The following tables present information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the level of the fair value hierarchy used to determine such fair values:
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Liabilities: | ||||
| Acquisition-related contingent consideration obligations | $— | $— | $1,413 | $1,413 |
| December 2025 Convertible Note | — | — | 2,687 | 2,687 |
| Warrant liability - July 2023 Registered Direct Warrants | — | — | 640 | 640 |
| Warrant liability - April 2023 Registered Direct Warrants | — | — | 565 | 565 |
| Warrant liability - May 2022 PIPE Warrants | — | — | 283 | 283 |
| Warrant liability - Public Warrants | 144 | — | — | 144 |
| Bifurcated embedded derivative - Series A Preferred Stock | — | — | 92 | 92 |
| Total fair value liabilities | $144 | $— | $5,680 | $5,824 |
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Liabilities: | ||||
| Acquisition-related contingent consideration obligations | $— | $— | $1,413 | $1,413 |
| December 2025 Convertible Note | — | — | 2,687 | 2,687 |
| December 2025 Promissory Note | — | — | 6,876 | 6,876 |
| Warrant liability - July 2023 Registered Direct Warrants | — | — | 534 | 534 |
| Warrant liability - April 2023 Registered Direct Warrants | — | — | 483 | 483 |
| Warrant liability - May 2022 PIPE Warrants | — | — | 240 | 240 |
| Warrant liability - Public Warrants | 288 | — | — | 288 |
| Bifurcated embedded derivative - Series A Preferred Stock | — | — | 92 | 92 |
| Total fair value liabilities | 288 | $— | $12,325 | $12,613 |
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3. The carrying values of other current liabilities approximate fair value in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements due to the short-term nature of those instruments.
Valuation of Contingent Consideration
The fair value measurement of the contingent consideration obligations is determined using Level 3 inputs and is based on a probability-weighted income approach. The measurement is based upon unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity based on the Company’s own assumptions.
The following table presents a reconciliation of contingent consideration obligations measured on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs for the periods ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
| Balance as of January 1, 2026 | Net transfers in to (out of) Level 3 | Purchases, settlements and other net | Fair value adjustments | Balance as of March 31, 2026 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Liabilities: | |||||
| Acquisition-related contingent consideration obligations | $1,413 | $— | $— | $— | $1,413 |
| Balance as of January 1, 2025 | Net transfers in to (out of) Level 3 | Purchases, settlements and other net | Fair value adjustments | Balance as of December 31, 2025 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Liabilities: | |||||
| Acquisition-related contingent consideration obligations | $1,413 | $— | $— | $— | $1,413 |
The fair value of the liability to make potential future milestone and earn-out payments was estimated by the Company at each reporting date based, in part, on the results of a third-party valuation using a discounted cash flow analysis based on various assumptions, including the probability of achieving specified events, discount rates, and the period of time until earn-out payments are payable and the conditions triggering the milestone payments are met. The actual settlement of contingent consideration could differ from current estimates based on the actual occurrence of these specified events.
At each reporting date, the Company revalues the contingent consideration obligation to estimated fair value and records changes in fair value as income or expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations may result from changes in discount periods and rates, changes in the timing and amount of revenue estimates and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving the various contingent consideration obligations. The Company has classified the contingent consideration as a long-term liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Valuation of Short-Term Debt –Unaffiliated
The following table presents a reconciliation of short-term debt obligations measured on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs for the year ended December 31, 2025 and three months ended March 31, 2026:

| Fair value adjustment through earnings | 1,809 |
| Fair value adjustment through accumulated other comprehensive income | (5) |
| Balance as of December 31, 2025 | $9,563 |
December 2025 Convertible Note and December 2025 Promissory Note
On December 19, 2025, the Company entered into a series of definitive agreements with an investor whereby the company issued the investor warrants, a senior secured non-convertible promissory note (the “December 2025 Promissory Note”) and a secured convertible note financing (the “December 2025 Convertible Note”).
Due to certain embedded features within the December 2025 Promissory Note and December 2025 Convertible Note, the Company elected to account for both notes and all the embedded features at fair value at inception. Subsequent changes in fair value are recorded as a component of non-operating loss in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
The fair values of the December 2025 Promissory Note and December 2025 Convertible Note are based on a PWERM based on various inputs and assumptions, including the likelihood of various possible scenarios, and a yield rate. The fair value of the December 2025 Convertible Note was $2,687 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The fair value of the December 2025 Promissory Note was $0 and $6,876 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Significant inputs for the December 2025 Promissory Note valuation model were as follows:
| March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Likelihood of optional redemption | N/A | 70.00% |
| Likelihood of optional redemption upon default | N/A | 5.00% |
| Likelihood of default | N/A | 5.00% |
| Yield | N/A | 15.09% |
Significant inputs for the December 2025 Convertible Note valuation model were as follows:
| March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Likelihood of optional conversion | $20.00% | 20.00% |
| Likelihood of dissolution | 15.00% | 15.00% |
| Yield | 14.98% | 14.98% |
Valuation of Warrant Liability
The warrant liability on March 31, 2026, is comprised of the fair value of warrants to purchase shares of Class A common stock. The Public Warrants are recorded at fair value based on the period-end publicly stated close price, which is a Level 1 input. The Registered Direct, and PIPE Warrants are recorded at their respective closing date fair values based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model that utilizes inputs for: (i) the value of the underlying asset, (ii) the exercise price, (iii) the risk-free rate, (iv) the volatility of the underlying asset, (v) the dividend yield of the underlying asset and (vi) maturity, which are Level 3 inputs. The Black-Scholes option pricing model’s primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair values of the warrant liabilities is the expected volatility of the Class A common stock. The Company estimates expected volatility based solely on the historical volatility of its common stock. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve for time periods approximately equal to the estimated remaining term of the warrants. Inputs to the Black-Scholes option pricing models for the warrants are updated each reporting period to reflect fair value.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the warrant liabilities measured on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs for the three months ended March 31, 2026:
| Warrant liabilities: | |
|---|---|
| Balance as of January 1, 2026 | $1,257 |
| Loss recognized in earnings from change in fair value | 231 |
| Balance as of March 31, 2026 | $1,488 |

12. Lease Agreements
ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company’s lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date to determine the appropriate discount rate by multiple asset classes. Variable lease payments that are not based on an index or that result from changes to an index subsequent to the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability are not included in the measurement of lease ROU assets or liabilities and instead are recognized in earnings in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise any such options. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. Rent expense, including related property taxes, was $1,117 and $1,114 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. These amounts are included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company made contributions of $34 and $0, respectively.
19. Income Taxes - Sale of Rights to Net Operating Loss Carryforwards
Under the State of New Jersey Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program, qualifying technology and biotechnology businesses may sell unused New Jersey net operating loss carryforwards and research and development tax credits to unaffiliated corporate taxpayers. The Company accounts for proceeds from these sales when the transfer is approved by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority and the sale is completed, at which point the proceeds are realizable and no longer contingent.
Because the Company maintains a full valuation allowance against its New Jersey deferred tax assets, no deferred tax asset was recognized for the carryforwards sold and the sale therefore generated no reversal of a previously recognized asset. The Company presents the proceeds within other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, and within cash flows from operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
In February 2026, the Company sold New Jersey net operating loss carryforwards and received net proceeds of $12,159. There were no comparable sales during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company’s ability to participate in the program in future periods depends on continued eligibility, annual program funding and State approval, and no assurance can be given that further sales will be available or approved.

The loan provided for annual interest of 2.0% and had a maturity date of March 21, 2026. A portion of the loan proceeds were to be used to repay the Starr loan. The KTL Note was issued with a warrant to purchase up to 3,700,000 shares of the Company’s class A common stock at an exercise price of $2.53 per share and has a 5-year term. The warrants were considered equity due to their fixed exercise price.

The sale granted Celeniv an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license. Royalties are due Celeniv in amount equal to 12.5% of the purchase price payable in quarterly installments commencing on the one-year anniversary through the earlier of (A) the closing of the Asset Purchase (as defined below) and (B) the fifth anniversary of the License Agreement (including the Negotiation Period). Each quarterly installment is equal to approximately $1,057. As of March 31, 2026 the Company had not made any payments to Celeniv for the License Agreement.
Pursuant to the License Agreement, the Company has the option to purchase from Celeniv all (not part) of Celeniv’s right, title and interest in the Licensed Technology (as defined in the License Agreement) and Licensed Marks (“Asset Purchase”). The Option shall be in effect for a period of five years beginning August 13, 2025 (the “Option Period”). Unless terminated earlier or otherwise extended pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, the License Agreement shall terminate on August 13, 2030.

(“NexGel”), pursuant to which the Company granted NexGel an exclusive, transferable and sublicensable license to develop and commercialize certain products within the Company’s degenerative disease business. The licensed products include certain biomaterial products and pipeline programs that are part of the Company’s advanced biomaterials platform and are subject to underlying rights licensed from Celeniv Pte.

Helena Settlement
On April 17, 2026, Helena delivered to the Company a notice of event of default (the “Helena Default Notice”) under the Helena Note. In the Helena Default Notice, Helena asserted that one or more events of default had occurred under the Helena Note, including among other things, the Company’s failure to comply with the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including becoming delinquent in its filings. The Company believes the asserted reporting default arose from the Company’s failure to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
Under the Helena Note, if an event of default is not cured within the applicable cure period, which is five business days for this type of asserted default, Helena may declare due and payable the “Mandatory Default Amount,” which is equal to 115% of the outstanding principal amount, accrued interest and all other amounts owing under the Helena Note. In addition, following an event of default, any outstanding principal balance accrues interest at a rate of 15% per annum, compounded annually.
Subsequent to the default notice, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Helena (the “Helena Settlement”) to compromise and resolve all triggering events, default notices, and related claims. Under the terms of the Helena Settlement, the Company agreed to pay Helena $500 in cash at closing, make five consecutive monthly cash installment payments of $100 each, totaling an additional $500, and assign to Helena a portion of the convertible promissory note to be received from NexGel. The Company subsequently breached the Helena Settlement by failing to timely pay amounts due thereunder and is currently negotiating with Helena to resolve the breach. There can be no assurance that the parties will reach a resolution.
