  1. The Company and Basis of Presentation

Spyre Therapeutics, Inc., formerly Aeglea BioTherapeutics, Inc. (“Spyre” or the “Company”), is a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on developing next generation therapeutics for patients living with inflammatory bowel disease and other immune-mediated diseases. The Company was formed as a Limited Liability Company in Delaware on December 16, 2013 under the name Aeglea BioTherapeutics Holdings, LLC and was converted from a Delaware LLC to a Delaware corporation on March 10, 2015. On November 27, 2023, the Company completed its corporate rebranding, changing the name of the Company to Spyre Therapeutics, Inc. The Company operates inone segment and has its principal offices in Waltham, Massachusetts.

On June 22, 2023, the Company acquired, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Acquisition Agreement"), the assets of Spyre Therapeutics, Inc. (“Pre-Merger Spyre”), a privately held biotechnology company advancing a pipeline of antibody therapeutics with the potential to transform the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease through a research and development option agreement (as amended, the "Paragon Agreement") with Paragon Therapeutics, Inc. ("Paragon") and Parapyre Holding LLC (“Parapyre”) (the "Asset Acquisition"). The Asset Acquisition was accomplished through a two-step reverse triangular merger whereby Aspen Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, merged with and into Pre-Merger Spyre, which existed at the time the Acquisition Agreement was entered into, and became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement. Immediately following this merger, Pre-Merger Spyre merged with and into Sequoia Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly subsidiary of the Company (“Second Merger Sub”), in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement and Pre-Merger Spyre ceased to exist. Subsequently, Aeglea BioTherapeutics, Inc. was renamed Spyre Therapeutics, Inc. and is a different entity than Pre-Merger Spyre, which ceased to exist upon merging with Second Merger Sub.

In connection with the Asset Acquisition, a non-transferable contingent value right ("CVR") was distributed to stockholders of record of the Company as of the close of business on July 3, 2023 (the "Legacy Stockholders"). Holders of the CVRs will be entitled to receive cash payments from proceeds received by the Company for athree-year period related to the disposition or monetization of its legacy assets for a period ofone-year following the closing of the Asset Acquisition.

On March 20, 2024, the Company completed a private placement of Series B non-voting convertible preferred stock, par value of $0.0001 per share ("Series B Preferred Stock") (convertible on a 40 to 1 basis) (the “March 2024 PIPE”) to a group of investors. The Company sold 121,625 shares of Series B Preferred Stock at $1,480 per share. The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $168.9 million after deducting placement and offering costs of $11.2 million.

On April 23, 2024, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with Fairmount Healthcare Fund II L.P. (the “Stockholder”), pursuant to which the Stockholder agreed to exchange an aggregate of 90,992 shares of Series A non-voting convertible preferred stock, par value of $0.0001 per share ("Series A Preferred Stock"), par value of for an aggregate of 3,639,680 shares of the Company's common stock (the “April 2024 Exchange”). The common stock issued in connection with the April 2024 Exchange was issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) in reliance on the exemption from registration contained in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. The April 2024 Exchange closed on April 25, 2024, with 346,045 shares of Series A Preferred Stock remaining outstanding following the April 2024 Exchange.

On May 14, 2024, the Company's stockholders approved the issuance of its common stock upon conversion of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock to common stock. A total of 254,958 shares of Series B

Preferred Stock automatically converted to 10,198,320 shares of common stock;16,667 shares of Series B Preferred Stock did not automatically convert and remained outstanding as of June 30, 2025.

On September 6, 2024, the Company filed a new shelf registration statement on Form S-3 that was declared effective by the SEC for the potential offering, issuance and sale by the Company of up to $500.0 million of its common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants and/or units consisting of all or some of these securities. Concurrent with the filing of the shelf-registration statement, the Company entered into a sales agreement, dated September 6, 2024, with TD Securities (USA) LLC (“TD Cowen”) ("Sales Agreement"), as its sales agent, pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell shares of its common stock for an aggregate offering price of up to $200.0 million under an at-the-market (“ATM”) offering program included in the shelf registration. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company sold an aggregate of 777,432 shares of common stock under the ATM resulting in aggregate net proceeds of approximately $20.5 million after deducting commissions paid to TD Cowen as sales agent and other offering costs.

On November 18, 2024, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") with Jefferies LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Evercore Group L.L.C. and Guggenheim Securities, LLC as representatives of the several underwriters (collectively, the "Underwriters"), pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 8,366,250 shares of its common stock, inclusive of 1,091,250 shares pursuant to the full exercise of the Underwriters' over-allotment option, at a public offering price per share of $27.50, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $215.9 million after deducting approximately $14.2 million of underwriting discounts and other offering costs (the "November 2024 Offering").

Concurrent with the effectiveness of the February 2025 Shelf Registration Statement, the offering of unsold securities under a previous shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-281975), which was initially filed with the SEC on September 6, 2024 and became effective on September 18, 2024, was deemed terminated pursuant to Rule 415(a)(6) under the Securities Act. The February 2025 Shelf Registration Statement contains a sales agreement prospectus supplement covering the offering, issuance and sale by the Company of up to $179.1 million of shares of common stock that may be issued and sold under the Sales Agreement in connection with the ATM offering program. No shares were sold under the ATM offering program during the three months ended June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, $179.1 million remained available for sale under the Sales Agreement.

Liquidity

The Company is a clinical stage biotechnology company with a limited operating history, and due to its significant research and development expenditures, the Company has generated operating losses since its inception and has not generated any revenue from the commercial sale of any products. There can be no assurance that profitable operations will ever be achieved, and, if achieved, whether profitability can be sustained on a continuing basis.

Since its inception and through June 30, 2025, the Company has funded its operations by raising an aggregate of approximately $1.3 billion of gross proceeds from the sale and issuance of convertible preferred stock and common stock, pre-funded warrants, the collection of grant proceeds, and the licensing of its product rights for commercialization of pegzilarginase in Europe and certain countries in the Middle East. As of June 30, 2025, Spyre had an accumulated deficit of $1.1 billion, and cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $526.6 million.

Based on its current operating plans, the Company has sufficient resources to fund operations for at least one year from the issuance date of these financial statements with existing cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. The Company will need to secure additional financing in the future to fund additional research and development, and before a commercial drug can be produced, marketed and sold. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing or generate license or product revenue, the lack of liquidity could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are unaudited. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2025, and its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, changes in convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or for any other future annual or interim period. The December 31, 2024 balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the "Annual Report") as filed with the SEC on February 27, 2025.

  1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and SEC instructions for interim financial information, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report. Significant accounting policies and other disclosures normally provided have been omitted since such items are disclosed in the Company's Annual Report. The Company uses the same accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements.

  1. Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures and reports certain financial instruments as assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. The following tables set forth the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis based on the three-tier fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

June 30, 2025

Liabilities:
CVR liability$—$—$61,700$61,700
Total liabilities$—$—$61,700$61,700

The Company measures the fair value of money market funds and U.S. government treasury securities on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Level 2 assets include U.S. government agency securities, commercial paper and corporate bonds, and are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices that are derived from observable market data. The Company evaluates transfers between levels at the end of each reporting period. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 during the periods presented.

CVR Liability

In connection with the Asset Acquisition, a non-transferable CVR was distributed to the Legacy Stockholders. Holders of the CVR will be entitled to receive certain cash payments from proceeds received by the Company for athree-year period, if any, related to the disposition or monetization of the Company’s legacy assets for a period ofone year following the closing of the Asset Acquisition.

The fair value of the CVR liability was determined using the probability weighted discounted cash flow method to estimate future cash flows associated with the sale of the legacy assets. Analogous to a dividend being declared/approved in one period and paid out in another, the liability was recorded at the date of approval, June 22, 2023, as a common stock dividend, returning capital to the Legacy Stockholders. Changes in fair value of the liability will be recognized as a component of Other income (expense), net in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss in each reporting period. The liability value is based on significant inputs not observable in the market such as estimated cash flows, estimated probabilities of regulatory success, and discount rates, which represent a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.

The significant inputs used to estimate the fair value of the CVR liability were as follows:

June 30, 2025
Estimated cash flow dates08/28/25 - 06/22/26
Estimated probability of success72% - 100%
Estimated reimbursement rate compared to reimbursement target49% - 100%
Risk-adjusted discount rates9.38% - 9.48%

The change in fair value between December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2025 was a $1.8 million decrease, primarily driven by changes in the likelihood of achievement of certain milestones and an increase in risk-adjusted discount rates, partially offset by time value of money adjustments.

The following table presents changes in the CVR liability for the periods presented (in thousands):

Total marketable securities$249,264$(493)$—$—$249,264$(493)

The Company evaluated its securities for credit losses and considered the decline in market value to be primarily attributable to current economic and market conditions and not to a credit loss or other factors. Additionally, the Company does not intend to sell the securities in an unrealized loss position and does not expect it will be required to sell the securities before recovery of the unamortized cost basis. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, an allowance for credit losses hadnot been recognized. Given the Company's intent and ability to hold such securities until recovery, and the lack of significant change in credit risk of these investments, the Company doesnot consider these marketable securities to be impaired as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Accounts at each of the Company'stwo U.S. banking institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 per depositor. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, cash deposits at the Company's U.S. banking institutions exceeded the FDIC limits.

There wereno realized gains or losses on marketable securities for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Interest on marketable securities is included in interest income. Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale debt securities as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, was $3.5 million and $3.4 million, respectively, and is reflected in Prepaid expenses and other current assets.

The following table summarizes the contractual maturities of the Company’s marketable securities at estimated fair value (in thousands):

June 30,2025December 31,2024
Due in one year or less$327,764$338,442
Due in 1 - 2 years117,157175,223
Total marketable securities$444,921$513,665

The Company may sell investments at any time for use in current operations even if they have not yet reached maturity. As a result, the Company classifies marketable securities, including securities with maturities beyond twelve months as current assets.

  1. Net Loss Per Share

The Company computes net loss per share of common stock, Series A Preferred Stock, and Series B Preferred Stock using the two-class method required for multiple classes of common stock and other participating securities.

The two-class method is an earnings (loss) allocation method under which earnings (loss) per share is calculated for each class of common stock. The Company has determined that the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock do not have preferential rights when compared to the Company's common stock and therefore it must allocate losses to these other classes of common stock, as illustrated in the table below.

Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares and pre-funded warrants outstanding during the period, without consideration of potential dilutive securities. The pre-funded warrants are included in the computation of basic net loss per share as the exercise price is negligible and they are fully vested and exercisable. For periods in which the Company generated a net loss, the Company does not include potential shares of common stock in diluted net loss per share when the impact of these items is anti-dilutive. The Company has generated a net loss for all periods presented, therefore diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share since the inclusion of potential shares of common stock would be anti-dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock, Series A Preferred Stock, and Series B Preferred Stock (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):
