Previous wording
We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company with a limited operating history that may make it difficult to evaluate the success of our business to date and to assess our future viability. All of our investigational products are in development, and none have been approved for commercial sale, nor have we ever generated any revenue from product sales. Our revenues to date have been primarily from upfront and milestone payments, R&D support and clinical materials reimbursement from our strategic partners. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and year ended December 31, 2024, we had net income of $— million and net loss of $283 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $1.2 billion. While we may receive income from year to year under the Gilead Agreement and the Taiho Agreement, we generally expect to incur substantial and increasing levels of operating losses over the next several years and for the foreseeable future as we advance our investigational products. Our prior losses, combined with expected future losses, have had and will continue to have an adverse effect on our stockholders’ equity and working capital.

All of our investigational products are in development, and none have been approved for commercial sale, nor have we ever generated any revenue from product sales. Our revenues to date have been primarily from upfront and milestone payments, R&D support and clinical materials reimbursement from our strategic partners. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and year ended December 31, 2024, we had net loss of $247 million and net loss of $283 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $1.4 billion. While we may receive income from year to year under the Gilead Agreement and the Taiho Agreement, we generally expect to incur substantial and increasing levels of operating losses over the next several years and for the foreseeable future as we advance our investigational products.

Previous wording
As of June 30, 2025, we had $927 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, which, together with our available facilities, we believe will be sufficient to provide funding through our initial pivotal read-outs for domvanalimab, quemliclustat and casdatifan, which include PEAK-1. This is based on disciplined prioritization of our resources to these programs. For example, we have paused further development for etrumadenant in third-line metastatic colorectal cancer to focus our resources on our late stage clinical portfolio and research programs. However, we cannot guarantee that we will not need additional capital and if so, that we will be able to obtain additional capital in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate some or all of our R&D programs or future commercialization efforts. In addition, if we need and are able to raise additional capital, raising additional capital may cause dilution to our stockholders, restrict our operations or require us to relinquish rights to our intellectual property or investigational products. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors related to the cost and timing of developing our investigational products, including:
