Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
- Nature of Business
Compass Pathways plc, or the Company, is a biotechnology company dedicated to unlocking urgently needed new treatment options in mental health care. The Company is developing its investigational COMP360 psilocybin treatment for patients with treatment-resistant depression, or TRD, and post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD.
The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to clinical stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, development by competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary intellectual property and technology, compliance with government regulations and the ability to secure additional capital to fund operations. COMP360 has advanced through clinical development and the Company is in the process of submitting a rolling New Drug Application, or NDA. Receipt of regulatory approval and state and federal rescheduling under controlled substances laws remains necessary before we can proceed with commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of capital, adequate personnel and infrastructure and extensive compliance-reporting capabilities. Even if the Company’s rolling NDA submission results in regulatory approval, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will realize revenue from sales. The Company has funded its operations primarily with proceeds from the sale of its ordinary shares and ADSs in public and private equity offerings, including in its offerings pursuant to its at-the-market, or ATM, offering program, and proceeds from a loan agreement with Hercules, or the Hercules Loan Agreement.
The Company has incurred recurring losses since its inception, including net losses of $172.4 million and $194.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. In addition, as of September 30, 2026, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $995.0 million. The Company expects to continue to generate operating losses until such time as we can generate revenue from sales of COMP360 or other therapeutic candidates sufficient to sustain profitability, if ever. The Company believes the cash and cash equivalents on hand as of September 30, 2026 of $444.0 million will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The future viability of the Company is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital to finance its operations. The Company’s inability to raise capital as and when needed could have a negative impact on its financial condition and ability to pursue its business strategies. There can be no assurance that the current operating plan will be achieved or that additional funding will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. The Company may raise additional capital through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, and other strategic transactions, including marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements. The failure of the Company to obtain sufficient funds on acceptable terms when needed could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial conditions.
Market volatility, geopolitical tensions or instability (including from the effects of changes in trade policy, announced or future tariff increases), geopolitical conflict (such as the war between Ukraine and Russia and conflict in the Middle East), fluctuating inflation and interest rates and the related impact on U.S., UK and global economies, the risk of an economic slowdown or recession in the U.S., significant changes in U.S. policies or regulatory environment or the disruption to U.S. government agencies or other factors could adversely impact the Company’s operations, financial results and ability to raise additional funding.
- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position for the reported periods.
The results of the Company’s operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of the Company’s operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed with the SEC, on March 24, 2026. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2025, was derived from audited annual consolidated financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, warrant liabilities. Estimates are periodically reviewed in light of changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
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, designed to improve disclosures, primarily through increased expense disaggregation. Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The guidance is effective for all fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The new standard can be adopted on a prospective basis with an option to be adopted retrospectively and early adoption is permitted. The Company is not early adopting the standard. We are currently evaluating this guidance to determine its impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement disclosures.
- Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
The following tables present information about the Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the level of the fair value hierarchy used to determine such fair values:
| Fair Value Measurements | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| as of September 30, 2026 | ||||
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |
| Assets: | ||||
| Cash equivalents - money market funds | $196,602 | $— | $— | $196,602 |

| $— | $60,029 | $143,697 | $203,726 | |
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3. Excluded from the tables above, is cash held in notice accounts with maturities of less than 90 days. There wasno such cash as of September 30, 2026, and $60.8 million as of December 31, 2025, for which the carrying value approximates fair value due to the short-term nature.
The Pre-funded Warrants and 2025 ADS Warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity(“ASC 815-40”), as both warrants contain contingent exercise provisions that do not meet the requirements of the indexation guidance under ASC 815-40 and could require the Company to pay cash to settle the warrants. The warrants are presented within warrant liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The warrant liabilities were measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
The Pre-funded Warrants are considered to be Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as the inputs used to determine fair market value are observable against the Company’s stock price. The 2025 ADS Warrants are considered to be Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as they have been recorded at fair value using the Black-Scholes model, using unobservable assumptions that have been probability-weighted for specified data milestones. As of September 30, 2026, the 2025 ADS Warrants were fully exercised.
The following table reflects the fair value of the Company’s warrant liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026:
| Pre-Funded Warrants | ADS Warrants | |
|---|---|---|
| Fair value as of December 31, 2025 | $60,029 | $143,697 |
| Change in fair value of warrant liabilities | 100,183 | (66,304) |
| Exercise of 2025 Financing pre-funded warrant liabilities | (33,719) | (32,542) |
| Issuance of February 2026 Offering of pre-funded warrants | 10,000 | — |
| Conversion of 2025 Financing ADS warrants to pre-funded warrants | 160,184 | (44,851) |
| Fair value as of September 30, 2026 | $296,677 | $— |
- Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
Prepaid expenses and other current assets consisted of the following (in thousands):
| September 30, | December 31, | |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| UK R&D tax credit | $15,205 | $15,387 |
| Prepaid research and development | 16,132 | 17,102 |
| Prepaid income tax | 3,148 | 3,434 |
| Other current assets | 8,659 | 5,580 |
| $43,144 | $41,503 |
For the years ended December 31, 2023 to 2025, the Company is uncertain whether it met the R&D intensity condition and is eligible for the enhanced effective rate due to uncertainties over whether impairments on intercompany loans and investments in subsidiary companies should be taken into account in determining the R&D intensity threshold. This matter is currently under discussion with His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, or HMRC, and the outcome is unknown. Given the uncertainty over the outcome of the discussions with HMRC, the enhanced R&D credits as a research intensive company have not been reflected in the financial statements. If the Company reaches a successful conclusion with HMRC, additional credits of $4.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2023, $7.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2024 and $7.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2025 could be claimed.
- Debt
On June 30, 2023, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Hercules, which provided for aggregate maximum borrowings of up to $50.0 million, including a term loan of $30.0 million, which was funded on June 30, 2023. On January 5, 2026, or the Effective Date, the Company entered into a third amendment to the loan agreement with Hercules, or the Amended Loan Agreement. The Amended Loan Agreement provides for five tranches of term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $150.0 million, consisting of (i) a term loan of $50.0 million, which was funded on the Effective Date, (ii) term loans of up to $30.0 million subject to achievement of a milestone relating to certain FDA approvals being granted, (iii)
term loans of up to $20.0 million subject to achievement of a specified commercial milestone, and (iv) term loans of up to $20.0 million, plus the $30.0 million that became available to us upon achievement of a specified clinical milestone and any remaining unborrowed amounts from the earlier tranches, subject to the approval of Hercules’ investment committee. If the conditions of each term loan are met, these tranches may be borrowed in drawings of a minimum of $5.0 million each. As required by the Amended Loan Agreement, a portion of the proceeds from the Tranche 1 Advance was used to repay the outstanding principal amounts and PIK due under the second amendment to the original loan Agreement, which is approximately $31.1 million.
Borrowings under the Amended Loan Agreement bear interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of (i)9.75% or (ii)2.75% plus the Wall Street Journal prime rate. Payments under the Amended Loan Agreement are interest only until the first principal payment is due in the first quarter of 2029, and may be deferred if the Borrowers achieve certain milestones until the scheduled maturity date on January 5, 2031. The carrying value of the Company’s outstanding debt approximates fair value, as it reflects interest rates currently available to the Company, and is classified as a Level 2 liability within the fair value hierarchy.
The Company determined that the third amendment represented a modification of debt under ASC 470-50 Debt – Modification and Extinguishment. As a result, lender fees associated with the modification were capitalized as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the debt and are being amortized over the remaining term of the instrument.
The Company incurred fees and transaction costs totaling $3.3 million associated with the initial term loan, which are recorded as a reduction to the carrying value of the long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. These fees included $0.4 million of facility fees, $0.8 million of company fees, $0.7 million in warrants. In addition, the Company incurred $1.4 million of end of term charges, which are recorded as a debt discount and amortized to interest expense over the term of the loan.
The Company incurred fees and transaction costs totaling $4.2 million associated with the third amendment to the Loan Agreement, including $0.3 million of facility fees. In addition, the Company incurred $3.9 million of end of term charges, which are recorded as a debt discount and amortized to interest expense over the term of the loan.
The fees, transaction costs, and the end of term charges are amortized to interest expense through the maturity date using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate of the Amended Loan Agreement was 12.9% as of September 30, 2026.
In 2023, the Company issued warrants to Hercules to purchase the Company’s Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient derived by dividing (i) the amount equal to (a)2.5% times (b) the aggregate principal amount of term loan advances made and funded under the Loan Agreement by (ii) the exercise price of the warrants. Upon receipt of the first term loan in June 2023,94,222 shares became exercisable to Hercules with a fair market value of $0.7 million.
The Amended Loan Agreement includes a financial covenant requiring us to maintain cash equal to at least fifty-five percent of the outstanding debt balance during the period commencing on October 1, 2027 (subject to adjustment if certain performance milestones are met). If the Company meets the performance milestones, the minimum cash covenant will not apply if its market capitalization is at least $850.0 million. The Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Amended Loan Agreement as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Long-term debt consisted of the following (in thousands):

| December 31, 2030 | 25,975 |
| December 31, 2031 | 6,226 |
| Total | $55,300 |

For the three-month period, the average price per ADS was $13.8042, resulting in gross proceeds of $24.8 million and net proceeds of $24.2 million. For the nine-month period, the average price per ADS was $13.7736, resulting in gross proceeds of $26.2 million and net proceeds of $25.6 million. As of September 30, 2026, approximately $123.8 million remain available for future sales under the February 27, 2025 Sales Agreement.
Warrants
Equity-classified
On June 30, 2023, the Company entered into a Warrant Agreement with Hercules, which provides Hercules with the right to purchase a number of the Company’s Ordinary Shares, equal to the quotient derived by dividing (i) the amount equal to (a)2.5% times (b) the aggregate principal amount of term loan advances made and funded under the Loan Agreement by (ii) the exercise price. Upon receipt of each term loan, the Warrant will automatically become exercisable and will expire in 10 years (on June 30, 2033). On June 30, 2023, with the receipt of the first term loan,94,222 shares became exercisable to Hercules with a fair market value of $0.7 million.
On August 18, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue in a private placement transaction, or a PIPE, (i)16,076,750 ADSs, and (ii) PIPE Warrants to purchase up to 16,076,750 ADSs, at a purchase price of approximately $7.78 per ADS ,and accompanying PIPE Warrant to purchaseone ADS. Each PIPE Warrant has an exercise price of $9.93 per ADS and is exercisable for athree-year period beginning in February 2024. The PIPE Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis if there is no effective registration statement registering the shares underlying the PIPE Warrants. As of September 30, 2026 PIPE Warrants had been exercised for an aggregate of 8,051,411 ADSs, resulting in proceeds of $80.0 million. During the nine-months ended September 30, 2026, PIPE Warrants were exercised for an aggregate of 4,299,361 ADSs, resulting in proceeds of $42.7 million. The Company may receive up to an additional approximately $79.7 million in gross proceeds if the PIPE Warrants are fully exercised for cash.
Liability-classified
On January 13, 2025, in connection with the 2025 Financing, the Company issued and sold (i)24,014,728 ADSs, each representingone ordinary share, nominal value £0.008 each, of the Company and accompanying warrants to purchase up to
24,014,728 ADSs, and (ii) in lieu of ADSs, to certain investors, Pre-funded Warrants to purchase up to 11,044,720 ADSs and accompanying 2025 ADS Warrants to purchase up to 11,044,720 ADSs.

The 2025 Financing comprised of ADSs, Pre-funded Warrants and 2025 ADS Warrants, resulted in aggregate proceeds of $149.8 million, with issuance costs of $9.4 million. Since the Pre-funded Warrants and 2025 ADS Warrants have been classified as a liability and recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, the aggregate proceeds have been allocated first to these warrants at their respective fair values at the issuance date. The residual has been allocated to the ADSs issued as part of the 2025 Financing and recognized within equity.
In February 2026,35,059,448 2025 ADS Warrants were exercised and the Company received net proceeds of $203.2 million. Upon exercise of these outstanding warrants, the Company issued 15,160,619 ADSs and in lieu of ADSs, to certain institutional investors, Pre-funded Warrants to purchase up to 19,898,829 ADSs. During the three-months ended March 31, 2026,6,000,000 Pre-funded Warrants were exercised resulting in a $33.7 million reduction in warrant liabilities. As of September 30, 2026,23,848,829 Pre-funded Warrants remain outstanding.

- Net Loss Per Share
The Company computes basic net loss per share by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Net loss reflects the allocation of undistributed earnings to participating securities, including certain pre-funded warrants, pursuant to the two-class method. The Company computes diluted net loss per share by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares and dilutive potential share equivalents then outstanding during the period.
Considered within the weighted-average number of ordinary shares used in net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, are ADSs issuable upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, as the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable at any time for nominal consideration, and as such are considered outstanding for the purpose of calculating diluted net loss per share.
The Company’s potentially dilutive securities, which include unvested ordinary shares, unvested restricted share units, options granted and equity-classified warrants, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share.
The following table sets forth the computation of the Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share:
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (In thousands, except per share amounts) | 2026 | 2025 | 2026 | 2025 |

- Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company may become involved in litigation or other legal proceedings. The Company records a loss contingency accrual for a legal proceeding when it considers the potential loss probable and it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss or determine a probable range of loss. The Company provides disclosure when it considers a loss reasonably possible or when it determines that a loss in excess of a reserve is reasonably possible. The Company provides an estimate of such reasonably possible losses or an aggregate range of such reasonably possible losses, unless the Company believes that such an estimate cannot be made. There were no material loss contingencies accrued as of September 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025.
In August 2022, Terran Biosciences, Inc., or Terran, filed a lawsuit against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland asserting claims of trade secret misappropriation under the federal and Maryland state law, as well as a number of state law business-related torts. The trade secret at issue is not used in the Company’s investigational COMP360 psilocybin treatment. Terran does not allege otherwise. Instead, the allegations are directed to publication of the trade secret, not use in any product by Compass. As of the fourth amended complaint entered July 11, 2025, the parties include plaintiffs Terran, the University of Maryland, Baltimore, and Professor Scott Thompson (collectively, the Plaintiffs) and defendants include the Company and two of its former officers and directors (collectively, the Defendants). The complaint sought unspecified compensatory and exemplary damages, reasonable attorneys’ fees and equitable relief, including an injunction enjoining the Company from retaining, using or disclosing the alleged trade secrets. On September 25, 2026, the court denied the Company's motion for summary judgment. The case is scheduled for trial in September 2027. The Company strongly disputes the allegations, believes it has substantial defenses to the claims and intends to defend the matter vigorously. The outcome of the litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and the Company is unable at this time to reasonably estimate the possible loss, if any.
Indemnification
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into agreements that may include indemnification provisions. Pursuant to such agreements, the Company may indemnify, hold harmless and defend an indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party. Some of the provisions will limit losses to those arising from third party actions. In some cases, the indemnification will continue after the termination of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these provisions is not determinable. The Company has not incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification provisions. The Company has also entered into deeds of indemnity with its directors and officers that may require the Company to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers in accordance with the indemnification obligations under its Articles of Association. The Company currently has directors’ and officers’ insurance.
