Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Caris and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Information

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2026, its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026, or for any other future annual or interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date and should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP in the United States requires the use of estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, including the amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods reported.

Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to:

•revenue recognition

•fair value of stock-based awards

•fair value of financial assets and liabilities

Future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty. Accordingly, the accounting estimates require the exercise of judgment. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained, and the operating environment changes. The Company will evaluate and update the assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis and may employ outside experts to assist in its evaluation, as considered necessary. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Marketable Securities

The Company classifies its marketable securities, which mainly consist of high-grade U.S. Treasury Notes, as available-for-sale. High-grade U.S. Treasury Notes with original maturities from date of acquisition between three and twelve months from the balance sheet dates are classified as short-term marketable securities, while those with maturities over twelve months from the balance sheet dates are classified as long-term marketable securities. The Company records all marketable securities at fair value, with changes reflected within unrealized gain or loss on available-for-sale securities on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The cost of short-term investments is adjusted for amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts to maturity, and such amortization or accretion is included in interest income.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Revenue is recognized when control of goods and services are transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services.

ASC 606 provides for a five-step model that includes:

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer.

Step 2: Identify performance obligations in the contract.

Step 3: Determine the transaction price.

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.

Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company derives revenue fromtwo distinct channels:

•Molecular profiling services involving the provision of precision oncology solutions utilizing MI Profile, Caris Assure, Caris Detect, Caris MI Clarity and Caris ChromoSeq

•Pharma research and development services involving delivery of laboratory, strategic data, and research services to biopharmaceutical customers

Molecular Profiling Services

For the majority of its molecular profiling services, the Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its precision oncology solutions, provided to customers, including certain hospitals, institutions and patients, at the point in time when the results of the profiling services are delivered to ordering physicians. Most cases requested on behalf of customers are provided without a written agreement; however, the Company determines that an implied contract exists with its customers for whom a physician orders the case. Results from molecular profiling services are delivered via fax, electronically, or in hard copy. Shipping and handling activities are considered fulfillment activities and as such, amounts incurred are recorded within Cost of Services - Molecular profiling services on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company identifies each sale of the Company's profiling service as a distinct performance obligation. Payment terms are a function of a patient’s existing insurance benefits and applicable reimbursement contracts established between the Company and payers. Collection of consideration the Company expects to receive typically occurs within 90 to 120 days of billing. Occasionally, payers may recoup or we may refund consideration, mainly as a result of claim processing.

The total consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for the Company’s services may be fixed or variable. Consideration includes reimbursement from patients, hospitals, and third-party commercial and governmental payers, such as insurance companies, adjusted for variable consideration related to implicit price concessions that the Company may grant. The Company estimates the variable consideration under a portfolio approach for third-party payers, hospitals and patients with similar reimbursement characteristics. This includes analysis of an average reimbursement per case per portfolio and a percentage of cases reimbursed by considering the historical reimbursement data (including any refunds and recoupments) from such third-party payers, hospitals and patients. Specifically, the Company calculates the historical average reimbursement rates for each portfolio and applies an estimated reimbursement rate, based on historical trends, to the number of cases delivered each period. The period for which historical data is drawn upon is determined on a by-portfolio basis for each payer group, taking into consideration the average collection period. Additionally, the estimate also considers current contractual and statutory requirements, patient insurance eligibility and payer reimbursement contracts, and any known current or anticipated reimbursement trends not reflected in the historical data and only recognizes revenue for variable consideration that the Company determines is probable will not result in a significant reversal in the future. The Company monitors the estimated amount to be collected at each reporting period based on actual cash collections in order to assess whether a revision to the estimate is required. Subsequent changes to the estimate of the transaction price are recorded as adjustments to molecular profiling services revenue in the period where such changes occur. Both the estimate and any subsequent revision are uncertain and require the use of management’s judgment in the estimation of the variable consideration and application of the constraint for such variable consideration.

Pharma Research and Development Services

The Company collaborates with biopharmaceutical companies to provide commercial services and prospective and retrospective testing, along with data and bioinformatics collaborations and novel target identification and discovery solutions.

Contracts with biopharmaceutical customers may include multiple distinct performance obligations, such as molecular profiling services, pharma research and development services, and strategic data services. The Company evaluates the terms and conditions included within its contracts with biopharmaceutical customers for proper revenue recognition, including whether services are capable of being distinct and considered distinct within the context of the contract. The performance obligations for biopharmaceutical customers vary by contract. Such contracts may include a performance obligation to provide molecular profiling services, to facilitate the development and regulatory approval of drugs, or to provide target discovery services. Under those contracts, the Company receives payments upon the achievement of milestones, as well as provision of on-going support. The transaction price of the development services contracts may include variable consideration, due to the uncertainty associated with the achievement of the milestones. In making the assessment of whether variable consideration should be included in the transaction price, the Company considers its historical experience with similar milestones, the degree of complexity and uncertainty associated with each milestone, and whether achievement of the milestone is dependent on parties other than the Company. The Company recognizes pharma research and development services revenue over the period in which biopharmaceutical research and development services are provided. Depending on the nature of the service, the Company recognizes revenue using either the output or input method to measure progress, whichever provides a more faithful depiction of the transfer of goods or services. Use of an output method or input method to depict the transfer of services generally does not result in a material difference with respect to the timing of revenue recognition because most services commence and end within the same reporting period. A constraint for variable consideration is applied such that it is probable a significant reversal of revenue will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the contingency is resolved. Application of the constraint for variable consideration is updated at each reporting period as a revision to the estimated transaction price.

Standalone Selling Price

The Company determines standalone selling prices by considering the historical selling prices of its performance obligations in similar transactions, where applicable, as well as other factors, including, but not limited to, the price that customers in the market would be willing to pay, competitive pricing from other vendors, industry publications, current pricing practices and management estimates.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of an allowance for credit losses. A receivable is recognized in the period the Company delivers goods or provides services, or when the right to consideration is unconditional. In situations where revenue recognition occurs before invoicing, an unbilled receivable is created, which represents a contract asset. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the unbilled receivable balance was $5.9 million and $7.2 million, respectively, which is included in accounts receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company recognizes contract liabilities primarily related to payments received in advance of satisfaction of performance obligations from contracts with customers. Contract liabilities are relieved as the Company fulfills its obligations under the contract and revenue is recognized. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the contract liability balance was $21.1 million and $24.5 million, respectively, with the short-term contract liability balance included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and the long-term contract liability included in other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following table shows the changes in the contract liabilities during the period:

The amount of revenue recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2025 pertaining to amounts deferred as of December 31, 2024 was $5.5 million.

Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations

The transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes contract liabilities and non-cancelable amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods and excludes performance obligations that are subject to cancellation terms. The Company has elected not to disclose information regarding the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations for which the original expected duration of the contract is one year or less. The amount of transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations for contracts with original expected duration over one year as of June 30, 2026 was $17.2 million. The Company expects to recognize substantially all of this amount within the next twelve months.

Additionally, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded $23.6 million and $12.0 million, respectively, of adjustments to revenue related to services delivered in prior periods, which is based on variability that was subsequently resolved. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded $34.0 million and $15.9 million, respectively, of adjustments to revenue related to services delivered in prior periods, which is based on variability that was subsequently resolved.

Collaboration Agreements

The Company is party to various collaboration and licensing agreements under which the Company out-licenses certain know-how and molecular data. The collaboration arrangements are intended to solidify the Company’s third-party partnerships to align oncology capabilities and create industry-leading molecular oncology research platforms to accelerate drug development and novel research. Under these collaboration arrangements, the Company generally receives a split of fees from its collaborative partners that are earned pursuant to statements of work (“SOWs”) executed with end users of the Company’s licensed molecular data.

The Company’s collaboration and licensing agreements are within the scope of ASC Topic 808, Collaborative Arrangements (“ASC 808”) and ASC 606 because the counterparty to these agreements meets the definition of a customer. As such, the Company recognizes revenue earned from the licenses of molecular data granted to the Company’s collaborative partners in accordance with ASC 606. Each license of molecular data granted by the Company to a collaborative partner represents a distinct performance obligation in the contract. The transaction price for a given arrangement is entirely variable and depends on the SOWs executed by the counterparty with end users. The amount of revenue allocated to each license is equal to the amount of revenue to which the Company expects to be entitled. The Company recognizes revenue at the point in time that it delivers the molecular data to the third-party collaborative partner. For thethree months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized collaboration revenue of$2.5 million and$5.5 million, respectively, and$2.5 million and$6.9 million for thesix months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which is included in revenue from pharma research and development services on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash primarily with domestic financial institutions of high credit quality, with balances that exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

The Company invests in treasury notes issued by the U.S. Government. U.S. treasury notes with original maturities of three months or less are classified within cash equivalents. Short-term marketable securities are comprised of U.S. treasury notes with original maturities between three and twelve months. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities and performs periodic evaluations of the credit standing of such institutions. The goal of the Company’s investment policy is to ensure safety and preservation of the principal balance, and diversification of risk over cash balances held on deposit.

The Company is subject to credit risk from its accounts receivable. The Company’s accounts receivable arise from the provision of molecular profiling services and pharma research and development services, primarily with biopharmaceutical companies, all of which have high credit ratings. The Company has not experienced any material losses related to receivables from individual customers, or groups of customers. The Company does not require collateral. Accounts receivable are recorded net of allowance for credit losses, if any. Concentrations of credit risk are limited due to the number of payers and their dispersion across multiple geographic regions.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company's revenues were primarily derived from the sale of Caris molecular profiling services. As discussed above, payment terms of the services are a function of a patient’s existing insurance benefits and applicable reimbursement contracts established between the Company and payers. Revenue associated with each payer, including its affiliated entities, as a percentage of the Company’s total revenue for the respective period, and accounts receivable balance attributable to each payer, including its affiliated entities, as a percentage of the Company’s total accounts receivable balance at the respective condensed consolidated balance sheet date, are as follows:

*Represents major payers below 10.0%.

Supplies

Supplies consist primarily of laboratory items and reagents used by the Company in providing services. All supplies are raw materials and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company periodically reviews its supplies for excess or obsolescence and writes down obsolete or otherwise unmarketable supplies to their estimated net realizable value.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The basis for these assumptions establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

•Level 1 - Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

•Level 2 - Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

•Level 3 - Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of three valuation techniques. The three valuation techniques are as follows:

•Market approach – Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities;

•Cost approach – Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (i.e., replacement cost); and

•Income approach – Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on market expectations (including present value techniques, option-pricing models, and lattice models).

Financial instruments consist of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term marketable securities, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, debt, warrants, and derivative instruments.

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying amounts of the Company’s cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their fair value based on the short-term nature of these items. There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 or 3 for the periods ended June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis and the level of inputs used in such measurements were as follows:

Short-term marketable securities

The Company’s short-term marketable securities, which have maturities of less than one year, are mainly comprised of U.S. Treasury Notes that have observable quoted prices. There wereno outstanding U.S. Treasury Notes as of December 31, 2025. The following is a summary of the Company’s U.S. Treasury Notes, which are classified as available-for-sale securities, as of June 30, 2026:

Debt - 2026 Term Loan

As of June 30, 2026, the estimated fair value of the 2026 Term Loan (as defined in Note 6) was $408.0 million, compared to a carrying value of $392.7 million. The Company estimated the fair value of the 2026 Term Loan as of June 30, 2026 using a discounted cash flow analysis, which represented the use of Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.

Debt - 2023 Term Loan

As of December 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of the Company’s 2023 Term Loan (as defined in Note 6) previously in effect was $373.5 million, compared to a carrying value of $378.5 million. The Company estimated the fair value of the 2023 Term Loan as of December 31, 2025 based on a discounted cash flow analysis, which represented the use of Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The Company repaid the outstanding balance of the 2023 Term Loan on April 1, 2026.

Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Shareholders

The Company calculates basic net loss per share by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Because the Company has reported a net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, basic net loss per share attributable to common shareholders is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average common stock outstanding during the period, without consideration for potential common stock equivalents. Net loss attributable to common shareholders is equal to net loss less accretion on preferred securities to their redemption value to the extent such securities are outstanding during the period, where applicable. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common shareholders is calculated by adjusting the weighted-average stock outstanding for the dilutive effect of potential common stock equivalents outstanding. For purposes of calculating the diluted net loss per share attributable to common shareholders, restricted stock units, shares committed under employee stock purchase plans, and stock options are considered to be potential common stock equivalents but are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common shareholders because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Therefore, basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common shareholders was the same for all periods presented.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement- Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense disaggregation disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU requires disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to financial statements. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Adoption of this ASU should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the disclosures within our financial statements, and expect to adopt this ASU for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2027.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software. This ASU removes all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages throughout Subtopic 350-40. This will require an entity to change how it starts capitalizing software costs, along with updating how entities evaluate the probable-to-complete recognition threshold. For all entities, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendments of this ASU can be applied using any of the following three approaches: prospective transition approach; modified transition approach that is based on the status of the project and whether software costs were capitalized before the date of adoption; and retrospective transition approach. We are currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have, and expect to adopt this ASU for the year ending December 31, 2028.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270) Narrow-Scope Improvements. This ASU clarifies interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of Topic 270. The amendment's objective is to provide clarity on the current interim reporting requirements. The ASU also includes a disclosure principle that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The amendments of this ASU are required to be adopted for interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments of this ASU can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have.

The Company determines its best estimate of the annual effective tax rate at each interim period using expected annual pre-tax earnings, statutory tax rates, and available tax planning opportunities. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur, which can cause variability in the effective tax rate from quarter to quarter. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as an income tax expense.

The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and various states and foreign jurisdictions. Due to the net operating loss carryforwards, all years remain open for income tax examination by the taxing authorities.

Note 5. Shareholders’ Equity and Equity Compensation

Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. As of June 30, 2026, there wereno shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.

Common Stock

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025,2,800,000,000 shares of common stock with a $0.001 par value were authorized. There were 282,582,915 and 282,526,097 shares outstanding as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Each share of common stock entitles the holder toone vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company's shareholders. Common shareholders are entitled to receive dividends if and when declared by the Company's board of directors, subject to the preferential dividend rights of any preferred stock then outstanding and compliance with our contractual obligations. No dividends have been declared or paid by the Company since its inception.

Share Repurchase Program

On June 7, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $100.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock pursuant to a share repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”).

Under the Repurchase Program, the Company may repurchase shares of common stock on a discretionary basis through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Any shares repurchased under the Repurchase Program, along with all 1,611,713 shares that were previously held as treasury stock, will be retired and will resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of common stock. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined based on a variety of factors, including market conditions, the trading price of the Company’s common stock, general business conditions, and other factors the Company deems relevant. The Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares, has no expiration date, and may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time.

The total cost of repurchased shares of common stock in excess of par value, including the cost of commissions and excise taxes, is recorded to treasury stock. The Company records the retirement of treasury stock at cost and records the excess of the repurchase price over the par value of shares acquired in additional paid-in capital, to the extent available.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had repurchased and retired 1,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the Repurchase Program for $17.9 million, leaving $82.1 million available to repurchase additional shares.

2020 Incentive Plan

Prior to the initial public offering (“IPO”), the 2020 Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) provided for the Company’s grant of awards of options, restricted awards, performance awards or share appreciation rights to employees, consultants, and directors of the Company. A total of 21,362,801 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance upon the exercise of all awards granted or available to be granted under the 2020 Plan as of June 30, 2026. Following the June 2025 IPO and the adoption of the 2025 Incentive Plan (as defined below), the Company will not make any additional grants under the 2020 Plan. Any outstanding awards granted under the 2020 Plan remain subject to the terms of the 2020 Plan, and any shares underlying outstanding awards under the 2020 Plan that expire or are repurchased, forfeited, canceled, or withheld will become available for issuance under the 2025 Incentive Plan.

2025 Incentive Plan

Effective May 23, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted, and the shareholders approved, the 2025 Incentive Plan (the “2025 Plan”). The 2025 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options (“ISOs”), nonstatutory stock options (“NSOs”), share appreciation rights, restricted awards, performance awards, and other awards. As of June 30, 2026, a total of 8,098,188 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance in settlement of awards granted under the 2025 Plan. The material terms of the 2025 Plan are substantially similar to the 2020 Plan, except with respect to the number of authorized shares, which initially equaled 15,125,002 shares, plus the number of shares that would return to the share reserve of the 2020 Plan following the pricing of the Company's IPO.

The 2025 Plan’s share reserve will increase on January 1 of each calendar year during the term of the 2025 Plan, beginning in 2026, by a number of shares as determined by the administrator of the 2025 Plan and in consultation with the Company, provided, that such increase (if any) will be no greater than the amount by which (y)4% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of our common stock as of the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year exceeds (z) the aggregate number of shares remaining available for grant under the 2025 Plan on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year.

To the extent permitted by applicable laws or any exchange rule, any shares of common stock issued under the 2025 Plan that are issued (a) in connection with the Company's acquisition of an unaffiliated business entity, (b) to the employees of such entity, and (c) in substitution of equity incentive awards previously issued to such employees by such entity shall not reduce the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2025 Plan.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company’s Board of Directors has adopted, and the shareholders approved, the 2025 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which became effective in connection with the IPO. The ESPP enables eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock with payroll deductions. A total of 2,571,250 shares of the Company’s common stock were initially reserved for issuance under the ESPP. As of June 30, 2026,2,618,462 shares under the ESPP were available to purchase.

The number of shares reserved for issuance and sale under the ESPP will increase automatically on January 1 of each calendar year during the term of this Plan beginning in 2026, by a number of shares equal to 1% of the Common Stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, unless the ESPP administrator should decide to increase the number of shares available under the ESPP by a lesser amount.

The purchase price designated by the ESPP administrator will be no less than the lower of 85% of the closing trading price per share of our common stock on the first trading date of an offering period in which a participant is enrolled or 85% of the closing trading price per share on the purchase date, which will occur on the last trading day of each purchase period within an offering period. Common stock sold to employees pursuant to the ESPP may be authorized but unissued common stock or reacquired common stock (however reacquired).

Unless otherwise determined by the compensation committee, the ESPP will provide for separatesix-month offering periods beginning on December 1 and June 1 of each year.

The Company began recognizing stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP upon commencement of the initial offering period on December 1, 2025. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over thesix-month offering period, based on the fair value of the purchase rights granted to participants as determined under ASC 718. During the six months ended June 30, 2026,206,978 shares of common stock were purchased pursuant to the ESPP for approximately $2.9 million and delivered to participants.

Option Activity

Under the 2020 Plan, the Company has granted incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options to its employees and other service providers (non-employees). Most of the Company’s stock options vest incrementally over five years, subject to the grantee's continuous employment with the Company (“time-vesting options”). The Company recognizes compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for its time-vesting options. In addition to its time-vesting options, the Company has also granted stock options to certain non-employees for which vesting is tied to the grantee’s performance (“performance-vesting options”). The Company evaluates whether it is probable that the performance metric will be achieved for its performance-vesting options and recognizes compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the implied service period if achievement of the performance metric is deemed probable. No option shall be exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the date it was granted. The exercise price of each option shall be not less than 100.0% of the fair market value of the common stock subject to the option on the date the option is granted. The Company has not granted stock options under the 2025 Plan as of June 30, 2026.

The following table summarizes the Company's stock option activity during the six months ended June 30, 2026:

Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock and the exercise price of outstanding, in-the-money options.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised was$1.6 million and $10.8 million during thethree months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $3.1 million and $12.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, there was approximately$34.3 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to the unvested options under the 2020 Plan, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.27 years.

Restricted Awards Activity

The Company grants restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that will be settled in shares of the Company's common stock upon vesting to its employees, consultants and non-employee directors. Vesting of restricted stock units granted generally occurs incrementally over four years, subject to the grantee's continuous service with the Company.

In March 2026 and May 2026, the Company granted performance restricted stock units (“PSUs”) as a form of stock-based compensation. A percentage of the number of PSUs will vest based upon achieving the Company’s operational target as of the end of 2026, and subject to continuous service by the employees through March 2028. Fifty percent of the aggregate number of achieved PSUs (if any) will vest upon certification in March 2027, with the remaining fifty percent vesting in March 2028. The grant date fair value of the PSUs was determined using the closing price of our common shares on the trading day prior to the grant date. Compensation expense for the PSUs is calculated based upon the most probable outcome of the possible performance conditions, and is recognized using the graded attribution method, which recognizes each separate vesting portion of the award as a separate award on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

The following table summarizes the Company's RSU and PSU activity for the six months ended June 30, 2026:

As of June 30, 2026, there was approximately $142.7 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to unvested RSUs and PSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.99 years. The fair value of RSUs vested for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $17.4 million and $22.0 million, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as follows:

Valuation of Stock-Based Awards

The Company records stock-based compensation expense for stock-based awards based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of the grant. The fair value of the Company’s restricted stock units is based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the closing market price on the day before the date of grant.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Prior to the IPO, the absence of a public market for the Company’s common stock required the Company’s Board of Directors to estimate the fair value of its common stock for purposes of granting options and for determining stock-based compensation expense by considering several objective and subjective factors, including contemporaneous third-party valuations, actual and forecasted operating and financial results, market conditions and performance of comparable publicly traded companies, developments and milestones in the Company, the rights and preferences of common and convertible preferred stock, transactions involving the Company’s common stock, and assumptions for a discount for lack of marketability. The fair value of the Company’s common stock was determined in accordance with the applicable elements of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Accounting and Valuations Guide, Valuation of Privately Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation. Following the IPO, the fair value of the Company’s common stock is determined based on its closing market price.

The key assumptions used in determining the fair value of options granted and a summary of the methodology applied to develop each assumption are as follows:

There wereno options granted for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock purchase rights granted under the ESPP at the start of the offering period using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model. Key weighted-average assumptions used in the model include expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected term (equal to thesix-month offering period), expected dividend yield, and expected forfeiture rate. The Company uses historical data to estimate expected volatility and other assumptions consistent with those used for stock option valuations.

Expected volatility. This is a measure of the amount by which the share price has fluctuated or is expected to fluctuate. An increase in the expected price volatility will increase the fair value of the option granted and the related compensation expense. As the Company was not publicly traded prior to June 2025, the expected price volatility for the Company's options was determined by using an average of historical volatilities of selected industry peers deemed to be comparable to the business corresponding to the expected term of the awards. Subsequent to the Company’s IPO, expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of its common stock.

Risk-free interest rate. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for U.S. Treasury notes with maturities corresponding to the expected term of the awards.

Expected term. This is the period of time over which the options granted are expected to remain outstanding and is based on the Company’s estimate, taking into consideration vesting term, contractual term and historical actual lives. Options granted have a maximum term often years. An increase in the expected life will increase the fair value of the option granted and the related compensation expense. Due to the lack of historical share option exercise data, the Company utilizes the simplified method for determining the expected term.

Dividend rate. The Company has not made any dividend payments, nor does it have plans to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, an expected dividend yield ofzero is utilized.

Forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and reduce compensation expense ratably over the vesting period. This estimate is adjusted periodically based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from the previous estimate.
