Current report

Concurrently, the UK completed the passage of secondary legislation on May 6, 2025, the UK government is rapidly progressing toward implementing its regulatory framework for Precision Bred Organisms (PBOs), scheduled to go live on November 13, 2025. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) and the Food Standards Agency (FSA) have published guidelines for industry and Cibus has participated as a test case for the UK’s new review process, as the Company has been active in field testing for the past two years. Cibus has been selected for this as the Company has been actively engaged in the development of regulatory guidelines and has experience conducting field trials in the UK, Cibus believes that it is well positioned to navigate this new regulatory process. Classification as a PBO will reduce regulatory barriers and is expected to provide the Company and its partners with the ability to expand product development in the UK, positioning both to move quickly once the EU NGT regulatory framework is established.

Current report

The Company believes ongoing harmonization of regulatory frameworks will open significant new market opportunities for gene editing technologies.

Current report

Previous wording

Gene-edited traits are importantly distinguishable from traits developed with genetically modified organism (GMO) technologies. While GMO technologies enabled major improvements in farming productivity, they have faced regulatory and adoption headwinds because of their use of foreign DNA, or transgenic material. For example, in the European Union (EU), GMO traits were essentially banned, and imports were heavily regulated. Numerous regulatory agencies in the Americas, including the United States, Canada, and Argentina, have confirmed that Cibus’RTDS-developed trait products are non-transgenic and are not subject to heightened GMO regulation in these markets.

Current wording

Achievements within Cibus’ opportunity programs also highlight the Company’s strong pipeline of traits available for partnerships. For instance, in the third quarter of 2025,the Company completed its 2025 North American field trials, initiated this past spring, for HT2 herbicide tolerance and pod shatter reduction (PSR) in Winter Oilseed Rape (WOSR - winter canola) initiated in the fall of 2024, demonstrating encouraging performance, positioning these traits for potential future partner development. In October 2025, Cibus announced positive field trial results for second-generation herbicide tolerance (HT2) edited Canola. Following successful greenhouse evaluations, Cibus conducted HT2 Canola field trials during the 2025 growing season at two United States locations, confirming both acceptable herbicide resistance of this improved version of the HT2 trait and similar yield to the unedited parent. The HT2 trait can be stacked with other herbicide resistance traits, giving growers additional options and greater flexibility in weed management. HT2 will be offered to potential seed licensing partners for introduction into commercial Canola seed products.

Previous wording

On the regulatory front, the Company achieved a historic milestone when the California Rice Commission's Rice Certification Committee approved Cibus' field research proposal on February 26, 2025, marking the first authorization for planting gene edited Rice in California. In April 2025, USDA-APHIS designated two of Cibus’ Canola traits as not regulated under USDA biotechnology regulations (7 CFR Part 340), including two Canola disease resistance traits. This determination with respect to Cibus’ most up-to-date RTDS technologies, as applied in these specific Canola traits, reiterated the regulatory treatment for RTDS precision gene editing technologies in the United States. In Latin America, the Company also saw a positive regulatory development in Ecuador related to Cibus’ HT1 and HT3 Rice traits in April 2025. The Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock in Ecuador determined that Cibus’ HT1 and HT3 Rice traits are equivalent to those developed through conventional breeding and subject to the same regulations as conventional seed in accordance with the provisions of the Organic Law of Agrobiodiversity, Seeds and Promotion of Sustainable Agriculture and its Regulations (LOASFAS). This determination was important since Ecuador strictly prohibits the commercial planting of transgenic (GMO) crops, reinforcing the Company’s view that the global regulatory environment is increasingly supportive of gene editing.

Previous wording

Net cash used in operating activities was $25.4 million in the first six months of 2025, a decrease in cash used of $5.1 million from the first six months of 2024. The decrease in cash used was primarily due to an increase of $5.0 million from the changes in operating assets and liabilities, which is a result of $3.0 million in higher accrued expenses balances, $1.1 million related to the rent free period of the San Diego, CA headquarters lease, and $0.6 million in lower accounts receivable balances.

Current wording

Previous wording

In June of 2025, building on efficiencies introduced through the Restructuring Initiative to date, the Company announced further streamlining of its operational focus to preserve capital resources and concentrate its working capital expenditures on the commercial advancement of the Company’s weed management traits for Rice. The Company anticipates that contemplated cost reduction actions, including rationalizing human capital resources and certain non-core facilities, have the potential to reduce the Company’s annual net cash burn to approximately $30.0 million by 2026, which is expected to contribute to improved cash flow and financial stability.

Current wording

On July 21, 2025, the Board of Directors of Cibus approved a reduction in workforce of approximately 34 full-time employees as a pivotal step in implementing the Company’s streamlined business focus. The Company expects that the reduction in workforce will be completed by December 31, 2025. The Company anticipates that contemplated cost reduction actions, including rationalizing human capital resources and certain non-core facilities, have the potential to reduce the Company’s annual net cash burn to approximately $30.0 million by 2026, which is expected to contribute to improved cash flow and financial stability.

Previous wording

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern will depend on its ability to obtain additional public or private equity or debt financing (including through the continued availability of the ATM Facility), obtain government or private grants and other similar types of funding, attain further operating efficiencies, reduce or contain expenditures, and, ultimately, to generate revenue. The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2025, is not sufficient to fund its operations for a period of 12 months or more from the date of this filing. Taking into account the impact of cost saving initiatives implemented through the date of this report and without giving effect to potential financing transactions Cibus is pursuing, Cibus expects that existing cash and cash equivalents is sufficient to fund planned operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the second quarter of 2026. The Company’s assessment of the period of time through which its financial resources will be adequate to support its operations is a forward-looking statement and involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary as a result of a number of factors. The Company has based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong. Circumstances and business conditions may change that would require the Company to use its cash resources for purposes beyond those that are currently forecast. For example, the recent decision of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, as described under “Contractual Obligations, Commitments, and Contingencies,” resulted in an unplanned current liability in the amount of $3.0 million. Any such unexpected uses of cash resources necessarily shorten the Company’s cash runway, as projected without taking into account such matters. In addition, changes in market conditions, including market volatility arising out of dynamic and shifting global trade policies, may reduce the Company’s opportunities to raise additional capital, including through the ATM Facility.

Current wording

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern will depend on its ability to obtain additional public or private equity or debt financing (which may include a future at-the-market financing facility or other continuous offering facility), obtain government or private grants and other similar types of funding, attain further operating efficiencies, reduce or contain expenditures, and, ultimately, to generate revenue. The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2025, is not sufficient to fund its operations for a period of 12 months or more from the date of this filing. Taking into account the impact of cost saving initiatives implemented through the date of this report and without giving effect to potential financing transactions Cibus is pursuing, Cibus expects that existing cash and cash equivalents is sufficient to fund planned operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into early in the second quarter of 2026.
