Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Note 1. Description of the Business
Recursion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Recursion, the Company, we or our) is a clinical stage TechBio company decoding biology and chemistry to industrialize drug discovery. The Recursion Operating System (Recursion OS), a platform built across diverse technologies, enables the Company to map and navigate trillions of biological and chemical relationships within the Recursion Data Universe, one of the world’s largest proprietary biological and chemical datasets. The Company integrates physical and digital components as iterative loops of atoms and bits scaling wet lab biology and chemistry data organized into virtuous cycles with computational tools to rapidly translatein silico hypotheses into validated insights and novel chemistry.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $2.3 billion. The Company expects to incur substantial operating losses in future periods and will require additional capital to advance its drug candidates. The Company does not expect to generate significant revenue until the Company successfully completes significant drug development milestones or in collaboration with third parties, which the Company expects will take a number of years. In order to commercialize its drug candidates, the Company or its partners need to complete clinical development and comply with comprehensive regulatory requirements. The Company is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties similar to those of other companies of the same size within the biotechnology industry, such as the uncertainty of clinical trial outcomes, uncertainty of additional funding and a history of operating losses.
The Company has funded its operations to date primarily through the issuance of Class A common stock (see Note 8, “Common Stock” for additional details). Additionally, the Company has received payments from its strategic partnerships (see Note 9, “Collaborative Development Contracts” for additional details). Recursion will likely be required to raise additional capital. As of June 30, 2026, the Company did not have any unconditional outstanding commitments for additional funding. If the Company is unable to access additional funds when needed, it may not be able to continue the development of its products or the Company could be required to delay, scale back or abandon some or all of its development programs and other operations. The Company’s ability to access capital when needed is not assured and, if not achieved on a timely basis, could materially harm its business, financial condition and results of operations.
Recursion believes that the Company’s existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operating expenses and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months from the issuance date of these financial statements.
Note 2. Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2025.
It is management’s opinion that these condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Revenue and net loss for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of future or annual results.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832). The new standard adds guidance to ASC 832 on the recognition, measurement and presentation of government grants. This standard will be effective for Recursion starting the annual period of 2029 and for interim reporting periods within that annual reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments can be applied on a prospective, modified prospective or retrospective basis. Recursion is currently assessing the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The new standard refines the scope of the guidance on derivatives in Topic 815 and clarifies the guidance on share-based payments from a customer in ASC 606. This standard will be effective for Recursion starting the annual period of 2027 and for interim reporting periods within that annual reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. Recursion is currently assessing the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2025-06, Accounting for internal-use software costs (Topic 350). The new standard amends specific aspects of the accounting for internal-use software costs including the criteria for capitalizing software costs. It also amends the related disclosure requirements. This standard will be effective for Recursion starting the annual period ending 2028 and for interim reporting periods within that annual reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments can be applied on a prospective, modified prospective or retrospective basis. Recursion is currently assessing the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (Topic 220). The standard requires new disclosures in the notes to the financial statements about certain caption expenses presented on the face of the Income Statement including information on: purchases of inventory; employee compensation; depreciation and intangible asset amortization. Recursion must also disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in expense captions that are not separately disaggregated. This standard will be effective for Recursion starting the annual period of 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments can be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis. Recursion is currently assessing the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
Note 3. Supplemental Financial Information
Tempus agreement
In November 2023, Recursion entered into afive-year agreement (the Tempus Agreement) with Tempus AI, Inc. (Tempus) to purchase access to their records of patient-centric multimodal oncology data and use rights for therapeutic development purposes. This data will be used to improve the training of Recursion’s artificial intelligence and machine learning models and is expected to accelerate Recursion’s drug discovery process. Recursion is making annual payments, ranging between $22.0 million and $42.0 million, up to $160.0 million in aggregate, to Tempus in cash or equity at the Company’s option. The equity value is determined by using theseven-trading day period dollar volume-weighted average price (VWAP) for Recursion Class A common stock ending on the day immediately preceding the date that isfive business days prior to the payment date.
Recursion is expensing the record purchases based on a contractually agreed price as “Research and Development” expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as the records are downloaded. To the extent that the Recursion payments to Tempus are greater than or less than the records purchased amount, Recursion records the applicable amount to “Prepaid data assets” or “Accrued data liability” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, record purchases were $3.1 million. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, record purchases were $22.7 million and $49.9 million, respectively.

Note 4. Acquisitions
RE Ventures I
In July 2025, Recursion acquired Rallybio’s interest in the joint venture, RE Ventures I, such that Recursion now owns 100% of the interest in RE Ventures I for total consideration of $20.2 million. Recursion determined that this transaction met the criteria to be accounted for as an asset acquisition since the lead asset, ENPP1 (Rec-102), an inhibitor program for the treatment of hypophosphatasia (HPP), represented substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired.
Subsequent to closing, in August 2025, Recursion issued additional consideration as part of a required milestone payment. As a result, Recursion recorded an additional expense of $2.4 million.
As part of the agreement, Rallybio is eligible to receive additional milestone payments under certain conditions. Milestone payment obligations that are incurred prior to regulatory approval of the compound will be expensed as acquired IPR&D when recognized.
Sale of Exscientia GmbH
In March 2025, Recursion completed the sale of its Austrian operations (Exscientia GmbH) to Alpha Biotechnology GmbH (Alpha). As part of the sale, Recursion obtained a 49% equity interest in Alpha. For the year ended December 31, 2025, Recursion recorded a loss on the disposal of Exscientia GmbH of $4.5 million, which was classified as “Other income (loss), net” on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Recursion also recorded a $4.4 million investment on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet within “Other assets, non-current” related to its 49% equity interest in Alpha, which was determined to be an equity method investment.
Note 5. Leases
The Company has entered into various long-term real estate operating leases primarily related to office, research and development and operating activities and an equipment financing lease related to the supercomputer. The Company’s leases have remaining terms from underone year tosix years and some of those leases include options that provide Recursion with the ability to extend the lease term, generally forfive years. The options are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.
For thesix months ended June 30, 2025, Recursion entered into operating lease modifications and terminations resulting in a decrease to the right-of-use asset and lease liability of $10.1 million. The modifications had no impact to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 9. Collaborative Development Contracts
Sanofi
In January 2022, the Company and Sanofi entered into a collaboration agreement to develop an AI-driven pipeline of precision-engineered medicines. The research is focused on up to 15 novel small molecule candidates across oncology and immunology and utilizes the Company’s AI platform. The Company is leading small molecule drug design and lead optimization activities with Sanofi assuming responsibility for preclinical and clinical development, manufacturing and commercialization.
Pricing
The Company received a $100.0 million non-refundable upfront payment. The Company has received multiple milestone payments related to this agreement totaling approximately $34.0 million. These related to the advancement of several of the discovery programs within the collaboration and the addition of an existing Company program into the collaboration. Recursion is eligible for additional milestone payments based on performance progress of the collaboration and tiered royalties ranging from high-single-digits to mid-teens. Recursion could earn a maximum of $555.0 million from all research milestones and $1.8 billion from all development and regulatory milestones.
Recursion has determined that it has at least eight performance obligations related to the small molecule projects. These performance obligations are for performing research and development services for Sanofi to design small molecules and perform lead optimization activities. The performance obligations also include potential licenses related to the intellectual property. The Company concluded that licenses within the contract are not distinct from the research and development services as they are interrelated due to the fact that the research and development services significantly impact the potential licenses. Any additional services are considered customer options and will be considered as separate contracts for accounting purposes.
The Company has determined the transaction price to be $154.7 million, for the initial performance obligations, comprised of the upfront payment, several milestones that have been achieved and estimated additional target exercises. Recursion has fully constrained the amounts of remaining variable consideration to be received from potential milestones considering the stage of development and the risks associated with the remaining development required to achieve each milestone. Recursion will re-evaluate the transaction price each reporting period.
The Company recognizes revenue over time based on costs incurred relative to total expected costs to perform the research and development services. Recursion was unable to estimate the completion date of the performance obligations due to the current stage of work.
Merck KGaA (Merck)
In September 2023, the Company and Merck entered into a collaboration agreement to discover novel small molecule drug candidates across oncology, neuroinflammation and immunology. The collaboration utilizes the Company’s AI platform and the Company is performing drug design and discovery while Merck will be assuming responsibility for the preclinical and clinical development.
Pricing
The Company received a $20.1 million non-refundable upfront payment. Recursion is eligible for additional milestone payments based on performance progress of the collaboration and tiered royalties from the mid-single-digits to low-double-digits. The Company could earn a maximum of $73.0 million for discovery, development and sales milestones per project.
Recursion has determined that it hasthree performance obligations related to the small molecule projects and the transaction price to be $20.1 million. Recursion has fully constrained the amounts of remaining variable consideration to be received from potential milestones. Recursion will re-evaluate the transaction price each reporting period.
The Company recognizes revenue over time based on costs incurred relative to total expected costs to perform the research and development services. Recursion was unable to estimate the completion date of the performance obligations due to the current stage of work.
Roche and Genentech
In December 2021, Recursion entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Roche and Genentech (collectively referred to as Roche). Recursion is constructing, using the Company’s imaging technology and proprietary machine-learning algorithms, unique maps of the inferred relationships amongst perturbation phenotypes in a given cellular context with the goal to discover and develop therapeutic small molecule programs in a gastrointestinal cancer indication and in key areas of neuroscience. Roche and Recursion will collaborate to select certain novel inferences with respect to small molecules or targets generated from the Phenomaps for further validation and optimization as collaboration programs. Roche and Recursion may also combine sequencing datasets from Roche with Recursion’s Phenomaps and collaborate to generate new algorithms to produce multi-modal maps from which additional collaboration programs may be initiated. For every collaboration program that successfully identifies potential therapeutic small molecules or validates a target, Roche will have an option to obtain an exclusive license to develop and commercialize such potential therapeutic small molecules or to exploit such target in the applicable exclusive field.
Pricing
In January 2022, Recursion received a $150.0 million non-refundable upfront payment from the Company’s collaboration with Roche. In September 2024, Recursion received a $30.0 million milestone payment ( “acceptance fee 1”), which was an acceptance fee related to the first accepted neuroscience Phenomap. In October 2025, Recursion received another $30.0 million milestone payment (“acceptance fee 2”), which was an acceptance fee related to the second accepted neuroscience Phenomap. Recursion is eligible for additional milestone payments based on performance progress of the collaboration. Each of the Phenomaps requested by Roche and created by Recursion may be subject to either an initiation fee, acceptance fee or both. Such fees could exceed $250.0 million for 16 accepted Phenomaps. In addition, for a period of time after Roche’s acceptance of certain Phenomaps, Roche will have the option to obtain, subject to payment of an exercise fee, rights to use outside the collaboration the raw images generated in the course of creating those Phenomaps. If Roche exercises its external use option for all 12 eligible Phenomaps, Roche’s associated exercise fee payments to Recursion could exceed $250.0 million. Under the collaboration, Roche may initiate up to 40 programs, each of which, if successfully developed and commercialized, could yield more than $300.0 million in development, commercialization and net revenue milestones for Recursion, as well as tiered royalties on net revenue.
Recursion has determined that it hasthree performance obligations, one related to gastrointestinal cancer andtwo in neuroscience. These performance obligations are for performing research and development services for Roche to identify targets and medicines. The performance obligations also include potential licenses related to the intellectual property. The Company concluded that licenses within the contract are not distinct from the research and development services as they are interrelated due to the fact that the research and development services significantly impact the potential licenses. Any additional services are considered customer options and will be considered as separate contracts for accounting purposes.
The Company has determined the transaction price to be $210.0 million, comprised of the upfront payment and the acceptance fees. The consideration did not include the $30.0 million variable consideration for the first acceptance fee until the map was accepted, which was during the third quarter of 2024. As a result of Roche’s acceptance of the neuroscience Phenomap, Recursion is now recognizing the acceptance fee as part of the transaction price over the completion period of one of the neuroscience performance obligations. The consideration did not include the $30.0 million variable consideration for the second acceptance fee until the map was accepted, which was during the fourth quarter of 2025. As a result of Roche’s acceptance of the neuroscience Phenomap, Recursion is now recognizing the acceptance fees as part of the transaction price over the completion period of one of the neuroscience performance obligations. Recursion has fully constrained the remaining amounts of variable consideration to be received from potential milestones considering the stage of development and the risks associated with the remaining development required to achieve each milestone. Recursion will re-evaluate the transaction price each reporting period.
The Company recognizes revenue over time based on costs incurred relative to total expected costs to perform the research and development services. Recursion has estimated the completion of the performance obligations by 2028.
Additional Revenue Disclosures
Of the revenue recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, $7.0 million and $11.4 million was included in the unearned revenue balance as of December 31, 2025. Of the revenue recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, $15.4 million and $30.2 million was included in the unearned revenue balance as of December 31, 2024, respectively. Revenue recognized was from the upfront and variable consideration payments received from the related contracts, which decreased the aggregate unearned revenue recognized. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $5.3 million of costs incurred to fulfill a contract on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet within “Other Current Assets.”
Unearned revenue was classified as short-term and long-term on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the Company’s estimate of revenue that will be recognized during the next twelve months.
Note 10. Stock-Based Compensation
In April 2021, the Board of Directors and the stockholders of the Company adopted the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2021 Plan). The Company may grant stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and other forms of stock-based compensation. As of June 30, 2026,29.3 million shares of Class A common stock were available for grant in the 2021 plan. In November 2024, the Board of Directors and the stockholders of the Company adopted the 2024 Inducement Equity Incentive Plan (the 2024 Plan) as part of the Exscientia acquisition. As of June 30, 2026,8.5 million shares of Class A common stock were available for grant in the 2024 plan.
The following table presents the classification of stock-based compensation expense for stock options and RSUs for employees and non-employees within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:
| Three months ended June 30, | Six months ended June 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | 2026 | 2025 | 2026 | 2025 |
| Cost of revenue | $874 | $814 | $1,774 | $3,764 |
| Research and development | 9,945 | 14,089 | 21,821 | 31,889 |
| General and administrative | 8,486 | 10,898 | 17,705 | 25,737 |
| Total | $19,305 | $25,801 | $41,300 | $61,390 |
RSUs
Equity awards granted to employees primarily consist of RSUs and generally vest over four years. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of RSUs generally is determined based on the number of units granted and the quoted price of Recursion’s common stock on the date of grant.
The following table summarizes Recursion’s RSU activity during the six months ended June 30, 2026:
| Stock units | Weighted-average grant date fair value | |
|---|---|---|
| Outstanding as of December 31, 2025 | 27,489,925 | $6.55 |
| Granted | 9,920,891 | 3.62 |
| Vested | (5,519,151) | 6.54 |
| Forfeited | (4,423,590) | 6.17 |
| Outstanding as of June 30, 2026 | 27,468,075 | $5.56 |
The fair market value of RSUs vested was $36.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, $142.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs is expected to be recognized as expense over approximately the next three years.
Note 11. Income Taxes
The Company did not incur a significant amount of U.S. income tax expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. The Company has historically incurred operating losses and continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against most of its U.S. net deferred tax assets. Foreign income tax benefits were insignificant for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The Company didnot incur a significant amount for 2025.
The Company’s U.S. net operating loss (“NOL”) and tax credit carryforwards are subject to review and adjustment by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and may be subject to annual limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended and similar state provisions in the event of certain ownership changes. These ownership changes may limit the amount of NOLs and other tax attributes that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income. In general, an ownership change, as defined by Section 382, occurs when the ownership of certain shareholders or public groups increases by more than 50% over a rolling three-year period. As of June 30, 2026, the Company completed a Section 382 study covering the period through January 31, 2025 and concluded that a deemed ownership change occurred on September 25, 2017. As a result, the Company’s ability to utilize its NOLs and other tax attributes may be subject to annual limitations. The Company is currently working to update the study and review ownership changes that could result in additional limitations on the utilization of its tax attributes.
Note 12. Net Loss Per Share
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, Recursion calculated net loss per share of Class A, Class B and the Exchangeable common stock. Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares and the effect of potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities consist of stock options and other contingently issuable shares. For periods presented in which the Company reports a net loss, all potentially dilutive shares are anti-dilutive and as such are excluded from the calculation. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company reported a net loss and therefore basic and diluted loss per share were the same.
The rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights, of the holders of the Company’s Class A, Class B and the Exchangeable common stock are identical, except with respect to voting. As a result, the undistributed earnings for each period are allocated based on the contractual participation rights of the Class A, Class B and the Exchangeable common stock as if the earnings for the period had been distributed. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis and the resulting amount per share for Class A, Class B and the Exchangeable common stock was the same during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
The following tables set forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share of Class A, Class B and Exchangeable common stock:
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Six months ended June 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (in thousands, except share and per share amounts) | 2026 | 2025 | 2026 | 2025 |
| Numerator: | ||||
| Net loss | $(131,005) | $(171,897) | $(248,509) | $(374,384) |
| Denominator: | ||||
| Weighted average common shares outstanding | 532,460,085 | 417,361,147 | 530,890,753 | 410,268,199 |
| Net loss per share, basic and diluted | $(0.25) | $(0.41) | $(0.47) | $(0.91) |
The Company excluded the following potential common shares from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the periods indicated because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Six months ended June 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | 2026 | 2025 | |
| Stock based compensation | 3,469,936 | 7,273,308 | 3,761,944 | 9,658,580 |
| Tempus agreement | — | 6,286,466 | — | 6,286,466 |
| Total | 3,469,936 | 13,559,774 | 3,761,944 | 15,945,046 |
Note 13. Fair Value Measurements
The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:
Level 1 — Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access;
Level 2 — Valuations based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in the market; and
Level 3 — Valuations using significant inputs that are unobservable in the market and include the use of judgment by the Company's management about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The Company is required to maintain a cash balance in a collateralized account to secure the Company’s credit cards. Additionally, the Company holds restricted cash related to an outstanding letter of credit issued by J.P. Morgan, which was obtained to secure certain Company obligations relating to tenant improvements. Recursion also holds restricted cash as required by a lease agreement. The Company also holds restricted cash as required by several grant agreements.
The following tables summarize the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Note 14. Segment Information
Segment loss
Recursion operates as a single operating segment that is managed on a consolidated basis. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (CODM) is its Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses segment net loss to evaluate the performance of its segment, analyze financial trends, compare the budget to the actual operating results and make resource allocation decisions. Segment net loss represents the Company’s consolidated net loss. All corporate costs, global function support costs, overhead costs and other shared costs are included within this segment. The salaries and consumables segment expenses contain all related Company amounts. The consumables category includes all Tempus record costs. Other segment items primarily include general and administrative expenses including facilities, information technology, professional fees (including auditing, tax and legal) and insurance.
The following table presents Recursion’s segment revenue, significant segment expenses and segment net loss:
