Current report
We are a development stage life sciences company focused on creating a platform technology to quantify and unlock the complexity of the proteome. We were founded to address longstanding challenges in proteomics through the development of a new analysis method, Iterative Mapping, for the quantification of single, intact protein molecules at scale. Our mission is to transform the field of proteomics by broadening access to high-quality proteomic data and enabling fundamental advancements across human health and medicine. Iterative Mapping is designed to enable broad and deep characterization of the proteome while delivering high reproducibility through direct single-molecule counting. By repeatedly interrogating individual protein molecules and aggregating results across billions of measurements, Iterative Mapping generates digital protein counts that are intended to support consistent comparison across samples, experiments, and time. The Nautilus Voyager TM platform is designed to implement the Iterative Mapping method. The Nautilus Voyager platform integrates nanofabricated protein arrays, affinity reagent probing, advanced optics and fluidics, and machine learning–based analysis into an end-to-end workflow inclusive of instrumentation, consumables, and software.

We are a development stage life sciences company creating a platform technology for quantifying and unlocking the complexity of the proteome. Our mission is to transform the field of proteomics by democratizing access to the proteome and enabling fundamental advancements across human health and medicine. We were founded on the belief that incremental advancements of existing technologies are inadequate, and that a bold scientific leap would be required to radically reinvent proteomics and revolutionize precision medicine. Our vision is to integrate our breakthrough innovations in computer science, engineering, and biochemistry to develop and commercialize a proteomic analysis technology of extreme sensitivity and scale. To accomplish this, we have built a prototype of a proteome analysis system, an instrument to perform massively parallel single protein molecule measurements which will be further developed to deliver the speed, simplicity, accuracy, and versatility that we believe is necessary to establish a new gold standard in the field.

Research and Development Expenses
Previous report
Research and development expenses were $31.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $37.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $6.1 million, or 16%. The decrease was due to a $3.4 million decrease in laboratory supplies and equipment expense attributable to due to operating efficiencies, lower development-related costs and continued focus on cost optimization. Also contributing to the decrease was a $1.5 million decrease in salaries and related benefits driven by savings from the reduction in force implemented in March 2025, and a $1.3 million decrease in stock-based compensation. The decrease in stock-based compensation is driven by stock options granted at the time of the Merger becoming fully expensed in 2025 and lower expense associated with stock options granted since the Merger.
Previous report
General and administrative expenses were $19.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $23.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $4.0 million, or 17%. The decrease was primarily due to a $2.9 million decrease in stock-based compensation. The decrease in stock-based compensation is driven by stock options granted at the time of the Merger becoming fully expensed in 2025 and lower expense associated with stock options granted since the Merger. Also contributing to the decrease was a $1.5 million decrease in professional services attributable to legal and general consulting fees driven by professional services from fees related to the shelf registration statement filed in February 2024 and the resolution of the Standard Biotools legal matter. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.4 million increase in facilities expenses.

As previously disclosed in our current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 2, 2025, we received a deficiency letter (the “Nasdaq Letter”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff, notifying the Company that we are not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), which requires the Company to maintain a minimum bid price of at least $1 per share for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Select Market (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The Company’s failure to comply with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement was based on its common stock per share price being below the $1 threshold for a period of 30 consecutive trading days. Pursuant to the Nasdaq Letter, the Company had 180 calendar days from the date of the Nasdaq Letter, or until October 28, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. On October 15, 2025, the Company applied to transfer its listing from the Nasdaq Global Select Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Transfer”). On October 27, 2025, the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff notified the Company that the Transfer was approved, to be effective October 29, 2025. In connection with the Transfer, the Company anticipates being eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period, or until April 26, 2026, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement provided that the Company continues to meet the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market (with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement). If the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by the end of the compliance period, its common stock will become subject to delisting. In connection with obtaining approval for the Transfer, the Company notified the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff in writing of the Company’s intention to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by effecting a reverse stock split during the additional 180 day period, if necessary. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq Listing Rules.

Emerging Growth Company Accounting Election
Previous report
The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act, permits an “emerging growth company” such as us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period under the JOBS Act until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of issuers who are required to comply with the effective dates for new or revised accounting standards that are applicable to public companies, which may make comparison of our financials to those of other public companies more difficult.
Previous report
We will cease to be an emerging growth company on the date that is the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of $1.235 billion or more, (ii) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the closing of ARYA’s initial public offering, or December 31, 2025, (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Previous wording
Since our incorporation in 2016, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to research and development activities, including with respect to our proteomics platform, or Nautilus platform, business planning, establishing and maintaining our intellectual property portfolio, hiring personnel, raising capital and providing general and administrative support for these operations. We do not have any products available for commercial sale, and we have not generated any revenue from our Nautilus platform or other sources since inception. Our ability to generate revenue sufficient to achieve profitability, if ever, will depend on the successful development and eventual commercialization of our Nautilus platform, which we expect, if it ever occurs, will take a number of years. Our Nautilus platform, which includes our end-to-end solution comprised of instruments, consumables, and software analysis, is currently under development and will require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive testing prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital and adequate personnel infrastructure. There can be no assurance that our research and development activities will be successfully completed, or that our Nautilus platform will be commercially viable.

In order to commercialize our Nautilus platform in volume, we will need to establish internal manufacturing capacity or to contract with one or more manufacturing partners, or both. Our technology is complex, and the manufacturing process for our products will be similarly complex, involving a large number of unique precision parts in addition to the production of various reagents and antibodies. We may encounter unexpected difficulties in manufacturing our Nautilus platform, instruments, and related consumables. Among other factors, we will need to develop reliable supply chains for the various components in our Nautilus platform, instruments, and consumables to support large-scale commercial production. In connection with our Nautilus platform, we intend to utilize over 300 complex reagents and various antibodies in order to generate deep proteomic information at the speed and scale which we expect our Nautilus platform to perform. Such reagents and antibodies are expected to be more difficult to manufacture and more expensive to procure. There is no assurance that we will be able to build manufacturing or consumable production capacity internally or find one or more suitable manufacturing or production partners, or both, to meet the volume and quality requirements necessary to be successful in the proteomics market.

Previous wording
Given our stage of development, we have not yet established a commercial organization or distribution capabilities. We do intend to build a commercial infrastructure to support sales of our products. We expect to manage sales, marketing and distribution through both internal resources and third-party relationships. We plan to commercialize our proteomics platform using a three-phase plan that has been shown to be effective and optimal for introducing disruptive products in numerous life sciences technology markets. The first phase is expected to involve research collaborations with biopharmaceutical companies and key academic opinion leaders exploring utility of pre-commercial versions of the platform, during which we do not expect to recognize significant revenue, if any. The second phase will include an early access limited release in which we expect to engage with customers using a service model to generate pilot data on the platform in our facilities, or through on-site installation and testing to evaluate the platform at the customers’ facilities. Finally, the third phase is anticipated to include a broader commercial launch. We are currently in the collaboration phase during which we have entered into collaborations with a small number of research customers, including with biopharmaceutical companies and key academic opinion leaders in proteomics whose assessment and validation of our products can significantly influence other researchers in their respective markets and/or fields. During the second phase, we plan to provide early access to our collaborators with broadscale and targeted analysis and profiling of samples analyzed in our facility and shared via a cloud platform. We expect to work closely with early access collaborators to demonstrate the unique value proposition of our Nautilus platform. As part of the early access limited release during the second phase, we plan to leverage our publications to drive awareness and customer demand to pre-sell instruments and reagents to select customers performing large-scale proteomics research. We expect to launch early access to our platform starting with target specific service offerings in the first half of 2026 for the analysis of the microtubule-associated protein tau (or “Tau” for short), which has been broadly associated with the onset and progression of Alzheimer’s disease in human patients. Over time, we plan to extend this early access framework into a dual model that supports both targeted assays like Tau and broadscale workflows, which will offer broader proteome coverage. We do not anticipate these activities will result in any material revenue. We expect this second phase to lead into the third phase of launch of our proteome analysis platform in late 2026 and subsequent broad commercialization thereafter. Voice of customer studies have suggested strong interest in our product with recognition that our planned offering represents an entirely new class of measurement. Consequentl…

Current wording
We are in the early stages of establishing our commercial organization and distribution capabilities. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we made our first sales hire as an initial step toward building an internal sales infrastructure, and we intend to continue expanding these capabilities to support the sales of our products. We anticipate commercializing our Nautilus Voyager platform in phases that began with research collaborations with leading biopharmaceutical companies, academic institutions, and research organizations exploring utility of pre-commercial versions of the platform. The next phases of our strategy involve a land-and-expand strategy in which we provide customers with access to the Iterative Mapping method on the Nautilus Voyager platform for an initial application, and over time, add additional applications in both targeted proteoform analysis and broadscale proteomics, which customers would access depending upon their specific proteomics needs. Initial customer access to the Nautilus Voyager platform is expected to be through our Early Access Program in which we will perform analysis and profiling of samples analyzed in our facility and shared via a cloud platform. We expect to work closely with early access collaborators to demonstrate the unique value proposition of our Nautilus Voyager platform. With data gained from our Early Access Program customers, we plan to leverage publications to drive awareness and customer demand and later sell instruments and reagents to select customers performing targeted proteoform and broadscale proteomics research.We announced the launch of our Iterative Mapping Early Access Program starting with target specific service offerings in January 2026 for the analysis of the microtubule-associated protein tau (or “Tau” for short), which has been broadly associated with the onset and progression of Alzheimer’s disease in human patients. Over time, we plan to extend this early access framework to include additional proteoforms in new disease areas like oncology and into a dual model that supports both targeted assays, and broadscale workflows, which are designed to offer broader proteome coverage. We do not anticipate that these early access activities will result in any material revenue. We expect to initiate our commercial launch in late 2026 by opening the Nautilus Voyager platform for pre-orders, with instrument installations at customer sites beginning in early 2027. At launch, we expect general availability to include the Voyager instrument, our Tau proteoform assay, and a second proteoform assay. We anticipate general availability of Broadscale proteomics capabilities in the first half of 2027, as we continue expanding the platform’s assay portfolio. Our first generally available broadscale consumable kits are designed to deliver strong initial performance, with subsequent releases expected to further expand capabilities and enable the platform to meet or exceed our previously annou…

Until such time as we can generate significant revenue from commercialization of our products, if ever, we will continue to require substantial additional capital to develop our Nautilus platform and fund operations for the foreseeable future. We intend to obtain such capital through public or private equity offerings or debt financings (including potential sales under the Sales Agreement), credit or loan facilities or a combination of one or more of these funding sources. We may also seek additional financing opportunistically. We may be unable to raise additional funds on favorable terms or at all. Our ability to raise additional funds may be adversely impacted by potential worsening global economic conditions and disruptions to, and volatility in, the credit and financial markets in the United States and worldwide, any potential future financial institution failures, the conflicts in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and in other countries, and otherwise. Our failure to raise additional capital, if needed, would have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to execute our business plan.

Further, even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, we may still qualify as a “smaller reporting company,” which would allow us to take advantage of many of the same exemptions from disclosure requirements, including reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements. We cannot predict if investors will find our common shares less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common shares and our share price may be more volatile.
Current wording
We are currently a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements, as well as reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in periodic reports and proxy statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (i) the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $250 million as of the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, or (ii) our annual revenue exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our second fiscal quarter. We cannot predict if investors will find our common shares less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common shares and our share price may be more volatile.
