Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. Nature of the Business

Organization

Sionna Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”), formerly known as Sling Therapeutics, Inc., was incorporated in Delaware in August 2019 and is headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts. The Company is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company on a mission to revolutionize the current treatment paradigm for cystic fibrosis(“CF”)patients by developing novel medicines that normalize the function of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein to deliver clinically meaningful benefit to CF patients.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to a number of risks common to other companies in the biotechnology industry, including but not limited to, development by competitors of new technological innovations, risks of failure of preclinical studies and clinical trials, development and manufacturing of product candidates, obtaining regulatory approval for product candidates, competition from substitute products, the need to successfully commercialize and gain market acceptance of its product candidates, protection of proprietary technology, dependence on key personnel, the ability to attract and retain qualified employees, reliance on third-party organizations, compliance with government regulations, and the need to obtain additional financing. Product candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive clinical testing and regulatory approval, prior to commercialization. These efforts will require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel infrastructure, and extensive compliance reporting capabilities. Even if the Company’s development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will realize significant revenue from product sales.

Liquidity and Going Concern

The Company has incurred annual net operating losses and has generated negative operating cash flows in every year since inception. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $313.0 million. The Company expects its operating losses to continue into the foreseeable future as it continues to pursue its research and development efforts.

The Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and 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 that these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company believes that its existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $268.3 million as of June 30, 2026, will be sufficient to allow the Company to fund operations beyond twelve months from the date that the financial statements are issued.

In March 2026, the Company entered into a sales agreement with Leerink Partners LLC (“Leerink”), under which the Company, from time to time, may issue and sell shares of the Company’s common stock through an "at the market" equity offering program under which Leerink is acting as sales agent, for aggregate gross sale proceeds of up to $250.0 million. As of June 30, 2026, the Company has not sold any shares of common stock under the sales agreement.

  1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2,“Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the audited consolidated annual financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 2, 2026 (the “Annual Report”). Since the date of those annual financial statements, there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2026, and the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, statements of convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity and statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, are unaudited. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2026, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods presented. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes related to the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, are also unaudited. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026, or for any other subsequent period.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, Derivatives Scope Refinement, ("ASU 2025-07"). ASU 2025-07 creates a scope exception within ASC 815 for certain contracts with underlyings tied to a party's operations or activities (such as regulatory approval, clinical, or earnings milestones), which may cause some arrangements that previously met the derivative definition to no longer be accounted for as derivatives. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the guidance prospectively as of January 1, 2026, for contracts entered into or modified after the adoption date. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses("ASU 2024-03"), which requires entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2024-03 may be applied retrospectively or prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
