PHATHOM PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
Notes to Condensed Unaudited Financial Statements
1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Phathom Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or the Company or Phathom, was incorporated in the state of Delaware in January 2018. The Company is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing novel treatments for gastrointestinal diseases.
On October 27, 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, approved the prior approval supplements to the Company's new drug applications, or NDAs, for VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK and VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK. Additionally, on November 1, 2023, the FDA approved the Company's NDA for VOQUEZNA tablets. The Company initiated commercial launch for VOQUEZNA for both the Erosive GERD and H. pylori indications, and VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK and VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK for treatment of H. pylori infection in the fourth quarter of 2023. Additionally, on July 17, 2024, the FDA approved VOQUEZNA 10 mg tablets for the relief of heartburn associated with Non-Erosive GERD.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
From inception to June 30, 2025, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to organizing and staffing the Company, business planning, raising capital, in-licensing its initial and approved product candidate, vonoprazan, meeting with regulatory authorities, managing the clinical trials of vonoprazan, preparing for commercialization of its initial products containing vonoprazan, commercially launching its approved products, and providing other selling, general and administrative support for these operations. The Company has a limited operating history as a commercial company, has generated limited product revenue to date, and the sales and income potential of its business remains uncertain. The Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since its inception and expects to continue to incur additional net losses in the future. The Company has funded its operations primarily through commercial bank debt, the revenue interest financing debt and various equity offerings, including the Company's at-the-market, or ATM, offerings. From inception through June 30, 2025, the Company sold 34,737,032 shares of common stock and 2,608,922 pre-funded warrants, generating net proceeds of approximately $543.3 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering costs.
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business, and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or amounts and classification of liabilities in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Management is required to perform a two-step analysis of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management must first evaluate whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern (Step 1). If management concludes that substantial doubt is raised, management is also required to consider whether its plans alleviate that doubt (Step 2).
Management believes that it has sufficient working capital on hand to fund operations through at least the next twelve months from the date these unaudited interim condensed financial statements were issued. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in acquiring additional funding, if needed, that the Company’s projections of its future working capital needs will prove accurate, or that any additional funding would be sufficient to continue operations in future years.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company in accordance with GAAP, and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for the full fiscal year. Certain information in the footnote disclosures of the financial statements has been condensed or omitted where it substantially duplicates information provided in the Company’s latest audited financial statements, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These unaudited interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial
statements and footnotes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, or the 2024 Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 7, 2025.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, there were no significant changes to the Company’s summary of significant accounting policies contained in the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K. The Company’s complete listing of significant accounting policies is set forth in Note 1 of the notes to the audited financial statements in the Company's 2024 Form 10-K. Selected significant accounting policies are discussed in detail below.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the Company’s unaudited condensed interim financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant estimates in the Company’s unaudited condensed interim financial statements relate to accruals for net product revenues and the valuation for the revenue interest financing liability. In addition, management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern involves the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash inflows and outflows. Although these estimates are based on the Company’s knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions.
Fair Value Measurements
The accounting guidance defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis. Fair value is defined as an 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 that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the accounting guidance establishes a three-tier 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.
Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, are classified within the Level 1 designation discussed above, while accounts receivable, prepaid and other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to their short maturities.
The Company has no financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis. None of the Company’s non-financial assets or liabilities are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. No transfers between levels have occurred during the periods presented.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt approximated the carrying amount given its floating interest rate basis. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was estimated for disclosure purposes only and was determined based on quoted market data for valuation, and thus categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and management believes that the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which those deposits are held.
The Company is also subject to credit risk from our accounts receivable related to our product sales. The Company monitors exposure within accounts receivable and records an allowance for credit losses as necessary. The Company extends credit primarily to wholesale distributors. Customer creditworthiness is monitored and collateral is not required. The allowance for credit losses
reflects the best estimate of expected credit losses of the accounts receivable portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, current information, and forecasts of future economic conditions. The Company determines its allowance methodology by pooling receivable balances at the customer level. The Company considers various factors, including its previous loss history, individual credit risk associated with each customer, and the current and future conditions of the general economy. These credit risk factors are monitored on a quarterly basis and updated as necessary. To the extent that any individual debtor is identified whose credit quality has deteriorated, the Company establishes allowances based on the individual risk characteristics of such customer. The Company makes concerted efforts to collect all outstanding balances due from customers; however, account balances are charged off against the allowance when management believes it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to customers.
As of June 30, 2025, three customers accounted for 82% of the accounts receivable balance, with each of these individual customers ranging from 27% to 28% of the accounts receivable balance. As of December 31, 2024, three customers accounted for 81% of the accounts receivable balance, with each of these individual customers ranging from 25% to 31% of the accounts receivable balance. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, three customers accounted for 69% and 72% of the product sales in each period, with each of these individual customers ranging from 22% to 24% of the product sales in both periods. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, three customers accounted for 67% and 68% of the product sales, respectively, with each of these individual customers ranging from 21% to 24% of the product sales in both periods.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and pre-funded warrants for the period, without consideration for other potentially dilutive securities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, basic shares outstanding includes the weighted average effect of the Company’s outstanding pre-funded warrants, the exercise of which requires little or no consideration for the delivery of shares of common stock. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had no weighted-average unvested shares to exclude from the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock and if-converted methods. Dilutive common stock equivalents are comprised of unvested common stock, options and warrants. For the periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding as inclusion of the potentially dilutive securities (warrants, stock options, and restricted stock units) would be antidilutive.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 – Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which improves income tax disclosures primarily relating to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This includes a tabular reconciliation using both percentages and reporting currency amounts, covering various tax and reconciling items, and disaggregated summaries of income taxes paid during the period. For public business entities, the guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The update will be effective for the Company beginning with its 2025 annual financial statements. The Company currently expects that this standard will not have a material impact on the footnote disclosures to its annual financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company assesses the adoption impacts of recently issued accounting standards by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies on the Company's financial statements as well as material updates to previous assessments, if any, from the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K. There were no new material accounting standards issued in the second quarter of 2025 that impacted the Company.

3. Commitments and Contingencies
License Agreement
On May 7, 2019, the Company entered into a license agreement with Takeda pursuant to which it was granted an exclusive license to commercialize vonoprazan fumarate in the United States, Canada and Europe, or the Takeda License. The Company also has the right to sublicense its rights under the agreement, subject to certain conditions. The agreement will remain in effect, on a country-by-country and product-by-product basis, until the later of (i) the expiration of the last to expire valid patent claim covering vonoprazan fumarate alone or in combination with at least one other therapeutically active ingredient, (ii) the expiration of the applicable regulatory exclusivity and (iii) 15 years from the date of first commercial sale, unless earlier terminated. The Company may terminate the Takeda License upon six months’ written notice. The Company and Takeda may terminate the Takeda License in the case of the other party’s insolvency or material uncured breach. Takeda may terminate the Takeda License if the Company challenges, or assists in challenging, licensed patents.
In consideration of the Takeda License, the Company (i) paid Takeda $25 million in cash, (ii) issued Takeda 1,084,000 shares of its common stock at a fair value of $5.9 million, (iii) issued the Takeda Warrant to purchase 7,588,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.00004613 per share at an initial fair value of $47.9 million, and (iv) issued a right to receive an additional common stock warrant, or the Takeda Warrant Right, should Takeda’s fully-diluted ownership of the Company represent less than a certain specified percentage of the fully-diluted capitalization, including shares issuable upon conversion of then outstanding convertible promissory notes, calculated immediately before the closing of the Company’s initial public offering, or IPO, with a nominal initial fair value due to the low probability of issuance. The Takeda Warrant Right expired without effect since no fair value had been allocated to it upon completion of the IPO, and no additional warrant was issued. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay Takeda up to an aggregate of $250 million in sales milestones upon the achievement of specified levels of product sales, and a low double-digit royalty rate on aggregate net sales of licensed products, subject to certain adjustments. The Takeda Warrant had an
exercise price of $0.00004613 per share, and was to expire on May 7, 2029 and became exercisable upon the consummation of the IPO. All Takeda Warrants were exercised by March 2022.
During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded $4.0 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of royalty expense under the Takeda License, of which $4.0 million is included within accrued expenses as of June 30, 2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded $6.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of royalty expense under the Takeda License.
Purchase Commitments
In December 2020, the Company entered into a supply agreement with Sandoz pursuant to which Sandoz has agreed to supply commercial quantities of amoxicillin capsules and clarithromycin tablets, package these antibiotics with vonoprazan, and provide in finished convenience packs. The supply agreement commits the Company to a minimum purchase obligation of €2.9 million, or approximately $3.4 million, in the first 24-month period following the launch of the final product. The Company incurred $0.1 million and $0.2 million under the agreement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The Company incurred no expenses under the agreement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2025, €1.6 million, or approximately $1.9 million, remains of the minimum purchase obligation and the Company has not recorded any liability related to the minimum purchase obligation.
The Company has been informed by Sandoz that there could be a disruption in the supply of clarithromycin tablets, a component of the VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK. The VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK represents approximately 1% of our total revenue. The Company is in discussions with Sandoz and continues to actively monitor the situation. While the Company has not experienced any commercial disruption to date, any disruption for such supply would result in our inability to continue to commercialize the VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK. The VOQUEZNA bottles and the VOQUEZNA DUAL PAKs are not impacted, as they do not include clarithromycin.
Contingencies
In the event the Company becomes subject to claims or suits arising in the ordinary course of business, the Company would accrue a liability for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated.
4. Lease Commitments
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had operating leases for office space in both Buffalo Grove, Illinois and Florham Park, New Jersey, with weighted average remaining lease terms of 4.9 years and 0.2 years, respectively. Some operating leases contain an option to extend the term for one additional five year period, which was not considered in the determination of the right-of-use asset or lease liability as the Company did not consider it reasonably certain that it would exercise such options.
The total rent expense for each of the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $0.3 million. Total rent expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively. Total short-term lease costs relating to leased vehicles were approximately $1.8 million and $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Total short-term lease costs relating to leased vehicles were approximately $3.6 million and $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
As of June 30, 2025, the future minimum annual lease payments under the operating leases were as follows (in thousands):

On September 17, 2021, or the Closing Date, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement, or, the Loan Agreement, with Hercules Capital, Inc., in its capacity as administrative agent and collateral agent and as a lender, or, in such capacity, the Agent or Hercules, and the other financial institutions that from time to time become parties to the Loan Agreement as lenders, or, collectively, the Lenders.
The Loan Agreement provides for term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $200 million, or the Term Loan, under multiple tranches. The tranches consist of (i) a first tranche consisting of term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $100 million, all of which was funded on the Closing Date, or the First Advance, (ii) a second tranche consisting of up to an additional $50 million, (iii) a third and fourth tranches consisting of an additional total $50 million, which became available in May 2022.
On September 27, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to the Loan Agreement, or the Second Loan Amendment, pursuant to which the date the second tranche of funding of $50 million was available to the Company and was moved to May 15, 2023, rather than December 15, 2022.
On May 9, 2023, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, or the Third Loan Amendment, with the lenders, pursuant to which, among other things, (i) the second tranche availability was extended from through May 15, 2023, to through December 15, 2023, and became available on October 1, 2023, (ii) the third tranche availability was extended from through September 30, 2023, to through December 15, 2023, and became available on October 1, 2023, (iii) the effective date of the performance covenants was amended to provide an option to extend the covenant trigger date to May 15, 2024, subject to the achievement of the FDA approval of vonoprazan for Erosive GERD or the EE Milestone, prior to February 15, 2024, and (iv) the warrant agreement with Hercules was amended as described below. On November 1, 2023, the EE Milestone was achieved and the covenant trigger date was extended to May 15, 2024. In connection with the Third Loan Amendment, a tranche extension amendment fee of $150,000 and a covenant extension amendment fee of $100,000 was paid to the Agent. These fees
have been recorded as debt discount and are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the remaining term of the Term Loan.
On December 14, 2023, the Company entered into a Fourth Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, or the Fourth Loan Amendment, with the lenders, which, among other things, (i) increased the aggregate principal amount of the term loans from $200 million to $300 million; (ii) provided for the possibility of accessing the remaining $200 million commitment through five tranches referred to as the second through sixth tranches, which are available subject to certain milestones and conditions: (a) Second Tranche: $50 million, $40 million of which was funded on December 14, 2023, and the remaining $10 million of which was funded on March 15, 2024, (b) Third Tranche: $25 million which was funded on June 14, 2024, (c) Fourth Tranche: $25 million which was funded on December 15, 2024, (d) Fifth Tranche: $50 million which was, subject to the achievement of a specified revenue milestone, or the Fifth Tranche milestone, through June 30, 2025 and which the Company did not draw down, and (e) Sixth Tranche: $50 million available, subject to the achievement of a specific revenue milestone, or the Sixth Tranche milestone, through December 31, 2025; (iii) extended the interest only period and the maturity date from October 2026 to December 2027, (iv) reduced the cash interest rate from 10.75% (floating annual rate equal to the greater of (a) 5.50% and (b) the Prime Rate (as reported in the Wall Street Journal) plus 2.25% to 9.85% (floating rate based on the greater of (a) 9.85% or (b) US WSJ Prime + 1.35%), provided that the cash interest rate shall be capped at 10.35% and upon the Company achieving the Sixth Tranche milestone, the cash interest floating rate shall be decreased by 0.35% to 9.50%, and (v) decreased the payment-in-kind interest rate from 3.35% per annum to 2.15% per annum. In connection with the Fourth Loan Amendment, an amendment fee of $250,000 was paid to the Agent and was recorded as a debt discount and is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the remaining term of the Term Loan.
The Term Loan will mature on December 1, 2027, or the Maturity Date. The Term Loan bears (i) cash interest at a variable annual rate equal to the greater of (a) 9.85% and (b) the Prime Rate (as reported in the Wall Street Journal) plus 1.35%, or the Interest Rate, and (ii) payment-in-kind interest at a per annum rate of interest equal to 2.15%. The Company may make payments of interest only through the Maturity Date. After the interest-only period, the principal balance and related interest will be required to be repaid in full on the Maturity Date.
In addition, the Company is obligated to pay a final payment fee of 7.50% of the original principal amount of amounts actually advanced under the Term Loan, or each a Term Loan Advance and together, the Term Loan Advances. In connection with the Fourth Loan Amendment, the final payment fee was amended to be $1 million plus 3.00% of any future tranche drawdowns under the agreement, due upon final maturity. Additionally, the initial final payment fee for the first Term Loan Advance was amended to become payable on October 1, 2026. As of June 30, 2025, the aggregate $11.5 million of final payment fees includes the first Term Loan Advance of $7.5 million, $2.5 million for the second Term Loan Advance, $0.8 million for the third Term Loan Advance, and $0.7 million for the fourth Term Loan Advance and have been recorded within other long-term liabilities.
Under the Fourth Loan Amendment the Company may elect to prepay all or a portion of the Term Loan Advances prior to maturity, subject to a prepayment fee of up to 1.25% of the then outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan Advances being prepaid when such prepayment occurs prior to October 1, 2026, or 0.50% if such prepayment occurs on or after October 1, 2026. After repayment, no Term Loan amounts may be borrowed again.
As collateral for the obligations, the Company has granted to Hercules a senior security interest in all of Company’s right, title, and interest in, to and under substantially all of Company’s property, inclusive of intellectual property.
The Loan Agreement contains customary closing fees, prepayment fees and provisions, events of default, and representations, warranties and covenants, including financial covenants. The financial covenants under the Fourth Loan Amendment include (i) a minimum cash covenant and (ii) a performance covenant as follows:
(i)Minimum cash covenant - The Company must maintain a minimum cash balance of 20% of the outstanding principal balance at all times. The minimum cash balance may be increased to 35% or 50% under performance covenant (b) below if the performance covenants (a) or (c) are not met beginning September 30, 2024 and all times thereafter.
(ii)Performance covenant - Beginning September 30, 2024 and all times thereafter the Company must satisfy any one of the following:
a.Market capitalization exceeding $900 million;
b.Minimum cash balance exceeding (x) outstanding principal amount of term loans, multiplied by (y) (A) 50%, prior to achieving trailing three months net product revenue of greater than $35 million, and (B) 35% thereafter; or
c.Trailing three months net product revenue of at least (x) 30% of agreed upon projected net revenues for periods in the calendar year 2024 and 25% for all periods thereafter or (y) $120 million.
Upon the occurrence of an event of default, subject to any specified cure periods, all amounts owed by the Company may be declared immediately due and payable by Hercules, as collateral agent.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Loan Agreement. Based on the Company’s current revenue projections, the Company does not expect to meet the revenue threshold to draw the Sixth Tranche. The Company’s current operating plan does not anticipate a need to draw any additional amounts under the Loan Agreement.
In connection with the entry into the Loan Agreement, the Company issued to Hercules a warrant, or the Warrant, to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 2.5% of the aggregate amount of the Term Loan advances funded, and will issue to Hercules additional warrants if any future Term Loan advances are funded. On the Closing Date, the Company issued a Warrant for 74,782 shares of common stock. The Warrant will be exercisable for a period of seven years from the date of issuance at a per-share exercise price equal to $33.43, which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock on September 16, 2021. In connection with the entry into the Third Loan Amendment, the Company amended the form of warrants to be issued upon drawdowns of future tranches such that the exercise price of such warrants shall be equal to the lesser (i) of $11.6783, which was the trailing ten-day VWAP prior to entering into the Third Loan Amendment and (ii) the trailing ten-day VWAP preceding the date on which the Company drawdown future tranches. In connection with the entry into the Fourth Loan Amendment, the Company eliminated the warrant agreement for all future tranches. The Warrant issued with the initial tranche was not modified as part of this amendment. The exercise price and terms of the outstanding Warrant remain unchanged.
The initial $1.3 million fair value of the Warrant, the $11.5 million final interest payment fees and $4.6 million of debt issuance costs have been recorded as debt discount and are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the Loan Agreement.
Future minimum principal payments under the Term Loan, including the final payment fee, as of June 30, 2025 are as follows (in thousands):

6. Revenue Interest Financing Liability
On May 3, 2022, the Company entered into a Revenue Interest Financing Agreement with Initial Investors NQ, Sagard, and Hercules pursuant to which the Company had the right to receive up to $260 million in funding from the Initial Investors. Under the terms of the Revenue Interest Financing Agreement, the Company received $100 million at the initial closing and received an additional $160 million upon FDA approval of VOQUEZNA for treatment of Erosive GERD during the fourth quarter of 2023.
Additionally, on October 31, 2022, the Company entered into a Joinder Agreement with the Initial Investors and CO Finance LVS XXXVII LLC, or the Additional Investor, and Hercules, together as the investors. Under the terms of the Joinder Agreement, the Company received $15 million in additional funding upon FDA approval of vonoprazan for Erosive GERD, or Approval Additional Funding, during the fourth quarter of 2023, and provided for $25 million in additional funding for achievement of a sales milestone, or Milestone Additional Funding, and, together with the Approval Additional Funding, or the Additional Investor Funding. The Initial Investors waived their rights of first offer regarding the Additional Investor Funding and the Additional Investor and joined the Revenue Interest Financing Agreement to extend commitments for the Additional Investor Funding. On December 23, 2024, CO Finance LVS XXXVII LLC agreed to assign and transfer to OC III LVS LX LP all of its rights, title and interest as an Additional Investor and in connection therewith, OC III LVS LX LP executed a Joinder Agreement. The total amount funded by the Initial Investors and any subsequent investors is referred to herein as the Investment Amount. As of June 30, 2025, no additional funding is available under the Revenue Interest Financing Agreement.
Under the Revenue Interest Financing Agreement, the investors are entitled to receive a 10% royalty on net sales of products containing vonoprazan. The royalty rate is subject to a step-down on net sales exceeding certain annual thresholds and when the Company received FDA approval for vonoprazan for an indication relating to the treatment of heartburn associated with Non-Erosive GERD, which occurred on July 17, 2024. The investors’ right to receive royalties on net sales will terminate when the investors have aggregate payments equal to 200% of the Investment Amount. In addition, at any time after April 30, 2024, the Company has the right to make a cap payment equal to 200% of the Investment Amount less any royalties already paid, at which time the agreement will terminate.
If the investors have not received aggregate payments of at least 100% of the Investment Amount by December 31, 2028, and at least 200% of the Investment Amount by December 31, 2037, each a Minimum Amount, then the Company will be obligated to make a cash payment to the investors in an amount sufficient to gross the investors up to the applicable Minimum Amount.
Upon the occurrence of an event of default taking place between April 1, 2025 and April 1, 2028, or after April 1, 2028, the Company is obligated to pay 1.30 times Investment Amount, 1.65 times Investment Amount, and 2.0 times investment amount, respectively, less any amounts the Company previously paid pursuant to the agreement.
The Company has evaluated the terms of the Revenue Interest Financing Agreement and concluded that the features of the Investment Amount are similar to those of a debt instrument. Accordingly, the Company has accounted for the transaction as a debt obligation with interest expense based on an imputed effective rate derived from the initial carrying value of the obligation and the expected future payments. The Company recalculates the effective interest rate each period based on the current carrying value and the revised estimated future payments. As of June 30, 2025, the effective interest rate of the revenue interest financing liability was approximately 9.26%. Changes in future payments from previous estimates are included in the current and future interest expense. The carrying value of the revenue interest financing liability was $368.5 million and $353.0 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $10.3 million and $12.3 million, respectively, of interest expense in connection with the revenue interest financing liability. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $21.3 million and $24.4 million, respectively, of interest expense in connection with the revenue interest financing liability.
The Company will record liabilities associated with achievement of the sales milestone when such contingent event occurs. To determine the accretion of the liability related to the Revenue Interest Financing Agreement, the Company is required to estimate the total amount of future royalty payments and estimated timing of such payments based on the Company’s revenue projections. As royalty payments are made, the balance of the debt obligation will be effectively repaid. Based on the Company’s periodic review, the exact timing of repayment is likely to be different in each reporting period as compared to those estimated in the Company’s initial revenue projections. A significant increase or decrease in actual net sales of vonoprazan compared to the Company’s revenue projections could impact the interest expense associated with the revenue interest financing liability. Also, the Company’s total obligation can vary depending on default events and achievement of the sales milestone.
7. Stockholders’ Equity
Common Stock
Underwritten Public Offerings
In August 2024, the Company sold 8,695,652 shares of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share and pre-funded warrants to purchase 2,608,922 shares of common stock at a price of $11.499 per pre-funded warrant for total gross proceeds of $130.0 million. The net purchase price after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses, was $10.77 per share, which generated net proceeds of $121.8 million. Certain affiliates of Frazier Life Sciences IX, L.P. (collectively, "Frazier"), a significant stockholder and Dr. James Topper, who currently serves on the Company's Board of Directors, share voting and investment power of the securities held by Frazier. Frazier participated in the offering by purchasing pre-funded warrants on the same terms as all other investors at a purchase price of $11.499, which represents the per share public offering price for the common stock less the $0.001 per share exercise price for each pre-funded warrant. Each pre-funded warrant became exercisable upon issuance and will not expire until exercised in full. The pre-funded warrants may not be exercised if the aggregate number of ordinary shares beneficially owned by the holders thereof immediately following such exercise would exceed a specified beneficial ownership limitation.
The pre-funded warrants were classified as a component of equity in the Company's balance sheets as they are freestanding financial instruments that are immediately exercisable, do not embody an obligation for the Company to repurchase its own shares and permit the holders to receive a fixed number of shares of common stock upon exercise. The Company valued the pre-funded warrants at issuance, concluding that their sales price approximated their fair value, and allocated net proceeds from the sale proportionately to the common stock and pre-funded warrants, of which $28.2 million was allocated to the pre-funded warrants and recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital. As of June 30, 2025, none of the pre-funded warrants have been exercised.
ATM Offerings
In November 2020, the Company entered into an Open Market Sale AgreementSM, or the Sales Agreement, with Jefferies LLC, or the Sales Agent, under which the Company may, from time to time, sell shares of common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to an amount registered under an effective registration statement through the Sales Agent.
In November 2023, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 which was declared effective by the SEC on November 17, 2023, which included an at-the-market prospectus pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, sell up to an aggregate of $150 million of the Company's common stock through the Sales Agent, or the 2023 ATM Offering. The Company is not obligated to, and cannot provide any assurances that the Company will, make any sales of the shares under the Sales Agreement. The Sales Agreement may be terminated by the Sales Agent or the Company at any time. No shares were sold during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. As of June 30, 2025, all of the available $150 million under the 2023 ATM Offering remains available.

Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized to issue up to 40 million shares of preferred stock. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Equity Incentive Plan
The Company’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, or the Prior Incentive Plan, provided for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, and other stock awards to eligible recipients, including employees, directors or consultants of the Company. The Company had 2,231,739 shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the Prior Incentive Plan, of which, 1,400,528 stock options and 16,260 restricted stock awards were granted in 2019. As a result of the adoption of the 2019 Incentive Award Plan, or the 2019 Plan, in October 2019, no further awards may be available for issuance under the Prior Incentive Plan.
2019 Incentive Award Plan
In October 2019, the Board of Directors adopted, and the Company’s stockholders approved, the 2019 Plan, which became effective in connection with the IPO. Under the 2019 Plan, the Company may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (RSUs), performance stock units (PSUs) and other awards to individuals who are then employees, officers, non-employee directors or consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries. The number of shares initially available for issuance will be increased by (i) the number of shares subject to stock options or similar awards granted under the Prior Incentive Plan that expire or otherwise terminate without having been exercised in full after the effective date of the 2019 Plan and unvested shares issued pursuant to awards granted under the Prior Incentive Plan that are forfeited to or repurchased by the Company after the effective date of the 2019 Plan, with the maximum number of shares to be added to the 2019 Plan pursuant to clause (i) above or equal to 1,416,788 shares, and (ii) an annual increase on January 1 of each calendar year beginning in 2020 and ending in 2029, equal to the lesser of (a) 5% of the shares of common stock outstanding on the final day of the immediately preceding calendar year and (b) such smaller number of shares as determined by the Board of Directors.
As of June 30, 2025, 1,563,263 shares remain available for issuance, which reflects 5,326,681 stock options, RSUs and PSUs granted, and 1,885,143 of awards cancelled or forfeited, during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as well as an annual increase of 3,425,913 shares authorized on January 1, 2025.
2025 Employment Inducement Incentive Award Plan
On March 30, 2025, the Board of Directors adopted the 2025 Employment Inducement Incentive Award Plan, or the Inducement Plan, and reserved 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance pursuant to equity awards granted under the Inducement Plan to individuals not previously employees or non-employee directors of the Company (or following such individuals’ bona fide period of non-employment with the Company) as an inducement to join the Company. The Inducement Plan provides for the grant of equity-based awards, including nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock units, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, performance shares and performance stock units, and its terms are substantially similar to the Company’s 2019 Plan, but with such other terms and conditions intended to comply with the Nasdaq inducement award exception or to comply with the Nasdaq acquisition and merger exception. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company granted 2,071,908 stock options, RSUs and PSUs under the Inducement Plan. As of June 30, 2025, 428,092 shares remain available for issuance.
Performance-Based Units
In 2025, the Board of Directors approved a performance-based unit, or PSU, grants whereby vesting depends on certain revenue performance milestones each year and over the next three years. The Company estimates the likelihood of achievement of performance milestones for all PSU awards at the end of each reporting period. To the extent those awards or portions thereof are considered probable of being achieved, such awards or portions thereof are expensed over the performance period. As of June 30, 2025, the Company did not deem the achievement of any performance milestones to be probable.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $13.5 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years. The total fair value of RSUs vested during the six months ended June 30, 2025, was approximately $9.6 million.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In October 2019, the Board of Directors adopted, and the Company’s stockholders approved, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or the ESPP, which became effective in connection with the IPO. The ESPP permits participants to purchase common stock through payroll deductions of up to 20% of their eligible compensation, which includes a participant’s gross base compensation for services to the Company, including overtime payments and excluding sales commissions, incentive compensation, bonuses, expense reimbursements, fringe benefits and other special payments. A total of 270,000 shares of common stock were initially reserved for issuance under the ESPP. In addition, the number of shares available for issuance under the ESPP will be annually increased on January 1 of each calendar year beginning in 2020 and ending in 2029, by an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) 1% of the shares outstanding on the final day of the immediately preceding calendar year and (ii) such smaller number of shares as is determined by the Board of Directors. As of June 30, 2025, 1,541,702 shares of common stock remain available for issuance under the ESPP, which includes the 321,099 shares sold to employees during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as well as an annual increase of 685,183 shares authorized on January 1, 2025.
The ESPP is considered a compensatory plan, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded related stock-based compensation of $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, compared to $0.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2024. The weighted-average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of ESPP awards using the Black-Scholes option valuation model were as follows:

The estimated weighted-average fair value of ESPP awards for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, was $2.81 and $3.59, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to the ESPP was $0.1 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 0.5 months.
401(k) Plan
During 2020, the Company established a 401(k) savings plan. The Company’s contributions to the plan are discretionary. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred $1.3 million and $3.1 million, respectively, of expense related to estimated employer contribution liabilities, which was based on a 75% match of employees’ contributions during the periods, compared to $1.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Board of Directors approved employer matching contributions settled by contributing 290,165 and 93,736, respectively, shares of common stock.
Stock Options
The fair value of each employee and non-employee stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company, prior to the IPO on October 29, 2019, was a private company and lacked company-specific historical and implied volatility information. Therefore, the Company estimated its expected volatility based on the historical volatility of a publicly traded set of peer companies. Due to the lack of historical exercise history, the expected term of the Company’s stock options for employees was determined utilizing the “simplified” method for awards. The expected term of stock options granted to non-employees was equal to the contractual term of the option award. The risk-free interest rate was determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. Expected dividend yield was zero based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

The estimated weighted-average fair value of employee and nonemployee director stock options granted for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $3.77 and $5.52, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $21.2 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.1 years.
The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the stock options and the fair value of the Company's common stock for those stock options that had exercise prices lower than the fair value of the Company's common stock at June 30, 2025. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was approximately $0.1 million.

8. Revenue Recognition
To date, our only source of revenue has been from the U.S. sales of VOQUEZNA products, which the Company began selling during the fourth quarter of 2023. The Company records its best estimate of chargebacks, sales discounts and other reserves to which customers are likely expected to be entitled to as contra accounts receivable charges, and within accrued expenses if payable to a third-party or related to product returns on the condensed balance sheets. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $68.0 million and $9.2 million, respectively, of net product revenues related to sales of VOQUEZNA, VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK and VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK.

9. Segment Information
The Company's chief operating decision maker, or CODM, the Chief Executive Officer, manages the Company’s business activities as a single reportable segment. The segment derives its current revenues from the sale of VOQUEZNA products. Accordingly, the CODM uses net loss to measure segment profit or loss, allocate resources and assess performance. Further, the CODM reviews and utilizes functional expenses (research and development, general and administrative, sales and marketing and stock-based compensation) to manage the Company’s operations. Other segment items included in net loss are interest income, interest expense and other expense, which are reflected in the condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed balance sheets as total assets.
The following table presents selected financial information with respect to the Company’s single operating segment for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):

10. Restructuring
In May 2025, the Company implemented a cost reduction and organizational restructuring plan to reduce cash burn and focus resources on commercial execution. In connection with the restructuring, the Company's workforce was reduced by 28 employees, or approximately 6%, including certain leadership changes all designed to right-size the organization. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, total restructuring charges incurred were $8.0 million consisting of one-time termination benefits to affected employees for severance, non-cash stock-based compensation costs, healthcare benefits and outplacement assistance. The costs are included in research and development and selling, general, and administrative expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

Overview
We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing novel treatments for gastrointestinal, or GI, diseases. Our approved products, VOQUEZNA®, VOQUEZNA® TRIPLE PAK® and VOQUEZNA® DUAL PAK®, contain vonoprazan, an oral small molecule potassium-competitive acid blocker, or PCAB. PCABs are a novel class of medicines that block acid secretion in the stomach. Vonoprazan is the first gastric anti-secretory agent from a novel class approved in the United States, Europe, or Canada in over 30 years, and has shown rapid, potent, and durable anti-secretory effects. Vonoprazan has also demonstrated clinical benefits over the current standard of care as a single agent in the treatment of erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease, or Erosive GERD, and in combination with antibiotics for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori, or H. pylori, infection. Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, or Takeda, developed vonoprazan and has received marketing approval in numerous countries in Asia and Latin America as well as Russia. Vonoprazan generated peak net sales for Takeda of approximately $850 million and continues to achieve volume growth during its tenth full year on the market since its approval in Japan in 2014. In May 2019, we in-licensed the U.S., European, and Canadian rights to vonoprazan from Takeda.
In May 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, approved the NDAs for vonoprazan triple therapy, under the brand name VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK, and vonoprazan dual therapy, under the brand name VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK. Subsequently, on November 1, 2023, the FDA approved vonoprazan, under the brand name VOQUEZNA, as a treatment for adults for the healing of all grades of Erosive GERD, maintenance of healing of all grades of Erosive GERD, and relief of heartburn associated with Erosive GERD, as well as in combination with amoxicillin, with or without clarithromycin, for the treatment of H. pylori infection in adults. We initiated commercial launch for VOQUEZNA for both the Erosive GERD and H. pylori indications, and VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK and VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK for treatment of H. pylori infection in the fourth quarter of 2023. In September 2023, we submitted an NDA seeking approval of vonoprazan as a once-daily treatment for heartburn symptoms associated with Non-Erosive GERD in adults. On July 17, 2024, the FDA approved VOQUEZNA 10 mg tablets for the relief of heartburn associated with Non-Erosive GERD, the largest category of GERD.
We are independently commercializing VOQUEZNA, VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK, and VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK in the United States. Our commercial launch for VOQUEZNA continues to build momentum and launch data shows strong physician and patient demand. As of July 25, 2025, over 580,000 prescriptions for VOQUEZNA tablets, VOQUEZNA Triple Pak, and VOQUEZNA Dual Pak have been filled since launch written by more than 29,300 prescribers. We continue to maintain broad commercial coverage for VOQUEZNA with over 120 million, or over 80%, of total U.S. commercial lives with access to VOQUEZNA tablets.
We continue to evaluate potential commercial partnerships for vonoprazan in Europe and Canada as well as potential development of vonoprazan into other indications, dosing regimens and alternative formulations and packaging. We also plan to evaluate the in-license or acquisition of additional clinical or commercial stage product candidates for the treatment of GI diseases in a capital efficient manner. We plan to initiate our Phase 2 clinical trial of vonoprazan in eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) trial during the fourth quarter of 2025.
In May 2021, the FDA granted qualified infectious disease product, or QIDP, designations for VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK and VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK and we thereby received an extension of five years of new chemical entity, or NCE, exclusivity based on the vonoprazan component in the applicable NDAs. In December 2024, we submitted a citizen petition requesting that FDA update the Orange Book listings to reflect the same ten-year period of NCE exclusivity for VOQUEZNA as reflected on the VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK and VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK Orange Book listings. On June 16, 2025, we announced that the FDA has updated the Orange Book listing for VOQUEZNA tablets to reflect the full ten-year period of NCE exclusivity now extended through May 3, 2032.
We have been informed by Sandoz that there could be a disruption in the supply of clarithromycin tablets, a component of the VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK. The VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK represents approximately 1% of our total revenue. We are in discussions with Sandoz and continue to actively monitor the situation. While we have not experienced any commercial disruption to date, any disruption for such supply would result in our inability to continue to commercialize the VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK. The VOQUEZNA bottles and the VOQUEZNA DUAL PAKs are not impacted, as they do not include clarithromycin
We commenced our operations in 2018 and have devoted substantially all of our resources to date to organizing and staffing our company, business planning, raising capital, in-licensing vonoprazan, meeting with regulatory authorities, managing our clinical trials of vonoprazan, preparing for commercialization of our initial products containing vonoprazan, commercially launching our approved products, and providing other selling, general and administrative support for our operations. Our operations to date have been funded primarily through commercial bank debt, our revenue interest financing debt and various equity offerings, including our at-the-market offerings. From inception through June 30, 2025, we sold 34,737,032 shares of our common stock and 2,608,922 pre-funded warrants, generating net proceeds of approximately $543.3 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering costs. As of June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $149.6 million. Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents together with anticipated product revenues, are sufficient to fund operations for at least the next twelve months.
Since inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. Our net losses were $170.1 million and $174.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $1.4 billion. We expect to continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future. It could be several years, if ever, before our current products or potential future product candidates, if successfully developed and approved, generate significant revenues to offset these operating losses. As a result, we are uncertain when or if we will achieve profitability and, if so, whether we will be able to sustain it. The net losses we incur may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year.
While we have generated revenue to date, until such time as we can generate significant revenue from sales of our approved products containing vonoprazan, we expect to finance our cash needs through equity offerings, potentially the Loan Agreement, our Revenue Interest Financing Agreement, additional debt financings or other capital sources, including potential collaborations, licenses and other similar arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all, and this risk could be exacerbated by the impact of ongoing conflicts throughout the world and global economic conditions. Our failure to raise capital or enter into such other arrangements when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.
Restructuring
In May 2025, we implemented a cost reduction and organizational restructuring plan to reduce cash burn and focus resources on commercial execution. In connection with the restructuring, our workforce was reduced by 28 employees, or approximately 6%, including certain leadership changes all designed to right-size the organization. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, total restructuring charges incurred were $8.0 million consisting of one-time termination benefits to affected employees for severance, non-cash stock-based compensation costs, healthcare benefits and outplacement assistance. As of June 30, 2025, approximately $2.6 million of restructuring related accruals remain on the condensed balance sheet.
License Agreement with Takeda
On May 7, 2019, we and Takeda entered into an exclusive license, or the Takeda License, pursuant to which we in-licensed the U.S., European, and Canadian rights to vonoprazan fumarate. During the term of the Takeda License, we and our affiliates are not permitted to commercialize any pharmaceutical product, other than vonoprazan, that treats acid-related disorders, except for certain generic and OTC competing products in specified circumstances. We will be responsible at our cost for the development, manufacture and commercialization of vonoprazan products. We are required to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and commercialize the vonoprazan products in our licensed territory.
Under the Takeda License, Takeda has the sole right and authority, with our input, to prepare, file, prosecute, and maintain all Takeda and joint patents on a worldwide basis at its own cost. We are responsible, at our cost, for preparing, filing, prosecuting, and maintaining patents on inventions made solely by us in connection with vonoprazan, subject to input from Takeda.
We paid Takeda upfront consideration consisting of a cash fee of $25 million, 1,084,000 shares of our common stock, a warrant to purchase 7,588,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.00004613 per share, or the Takeda Warrant, and issued Takeda a right to receive an additional common stock warrant, or the Takeda Warrant Right, if Takeda’s fully-diluted ownership of the Company represented less than a certain specified percentage of the fully-diluted capitalization, including shares issuable upon conversion of then outstanding convertible promissory notes, calculated immediately prior to the closing of our IPO. The Takeda Warrant Right expired without effect since no fair value had been allocated to it upon completion of our IPO, and no additional warrant was issued. We agreed to make milestone payments to Takeda upon achieving certain tiered aggregate annual net sales of licensed products in the United States, Europe and Canada up to a total maximum milestone amount of $250 million. We also agreed to make tiered royalty payments at percentages averaging in the low double digits on net sales of licensed products, subject to specified offsets and reductions. Royalties will be payable, on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis from the first commercial sale of such product in such country, until the latest of expiration of the licensed patents covering the applicable product, expiration of regulatory exclusivity in such country, or 15 years following first commercial sale in such country. We currently pay royalties to Takeda on sales of VOQUEZNA tablets, VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK and VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK in the U.S.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
We began to recognize revenue from product sales, net of rebates, chargebacks, discounts, and other adjustments, in November 2023 in conjunction with the commercial launch of VOQUEZNA, VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK, and VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK in the United States.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue includes the cost of producing and distributing inventories that are related to product sales. This also includes royalties payable to Takeda, pursuant to the Takeda License Agreement (Refer to Note 3 for further details). In addition, shipping and handling costs for product sales are recorded as incurred. Cost of revenue also includes costs related to excess or obsolete inventory adjustment charges.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development
To date, our research and development expenses have related to the development and regulatory approvals of vonoprazan. Research and development expenses are recognized as incurred and payments made prior to the receipt of goods or services to be
used in research and development are capitalized until the goods or services are received. We do not track total research and development expenses by indication.
Research and development expenses include:
•Clinical development expenses: external research and development expenses incurred under agreements with CROs, regulatory costs, and consultants to conduct and support our clinical trials of vonoprazan;
•Personnel related expenses: salaries, payroll taxes, and employee benefits;
•Chemistry manufacturing and controls, or CMC, expenses: costs related to the manufacturing of vonoprazan for our clinical trials;
•Consulting, professional and other costs: external costs related to consulting and professional services and other research costs incurred; and
•Stock-based compensation expenses: stock-based compensation expense recognized for those individuals involved in research and development efforts.

We plan to invest in our research and development expenses for the foreseeable future as we continue the development of vonoprazan and potentially also develop in the future additional product candidates. We cannot determine with certainty the timing of initiation, the duration or the completion costs of current or future clinical trials and nonclinical studies of vonoprazan or any future product candidates due to the inherently unpredictable nature of clinical and preclinical development. Clinical and preclinical development timelines, the probability of success and development costs can differ materially from expectations. In addition, we cannot forecast which product candidates, if any, may be subject to future collaborations, when such arrangements will be secured, if at all, and to what degree such arrangements would affect our development plans and capital requirements.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of salaries and employee-related costs, including stock-based compensation, for personnel in commercial, executive, finance, accounting, legal, human resources and other administrative functions, legal fees relating to intellectual property and corporate matters, and professional fees for accounting and consulting services. We anticipate that our selling, general and administrative expenses will decrease in the future in conjunction with our organizational restructuring implemented in the second quarter of 2025.
Interest Income
Interest income consists of interest on our money market funds.
Interest Expense
Revenue Interest Financing Agreement
Interest expense under the Revenue Interest Financing Agreement is based on the imputed effective interest rate derived from expected future payments and the carrying value of the obligation. We recalculate the effective interest rate each period based
on the current carrying value and the revised estimated future payments. Changes in future payments from previous estimates are included in current and future interest expense.
Loan Agreement with Hercules
Interest expense under the Loan Agreement consists of (i) cash interest at a variable annual rate equal to the greater of (a) 9.85% and (b) the Prime Rate (as reported in the Wall Street Journal) plus 1.35% and provided that the cash interest rate shall be capped at 10.35% and upon us achieving the certain milestones, the cash interest shall be decreased by 0.35%, (ii) payment-in-kind interest at a per annum rate of interest equal to 2.15%, and (iii) amortization of the Loan Agreement debt discount recorded in connection with the fair value of warrants issued to the lenders, the debt issuance costs incurred, and the obligation to make a final payment.

Revenue. Product revenues were $39.5 million and $7.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to sales of VOQUEZNA, VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK, and VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK which were launched in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue were $5.0 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In periods prior to receiving FDA approval for VOQUEZNA, we recognized inventory and related costs associated with the manufacture of VOQUEZNA as research and development expense and as such, the cost of revenue and related gross profits are not necessarily indicative of future costs of revenue and gross profit. Therefore, the manufacturing costs related to the inventory purchased before FDA approval were already expensed in a prior period and are therefore excluded from the cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025. These previously expensed costs were not material.
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses were $9.1 million and $7.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase of $1.7 million consists of $2.0 million related to higher personnel-related expenses due to restructuring charges, partially offset by a decrease of $0.3 million of consulting expenses.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $85.3 million and $75.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase of $9.4 million was due to increases of $8.9 million in personnel-related expenses due to restructuring charges and an increase of $0.5 million of commercial related expenses.
Other Income (Expense). Other expense of $15.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 consisted of $17.5 million of interest expense under the Hercules Loan Agreement and Revenue Interest Financing Agreement, partially offset by $1.8 million of interest income related to cash held in money market funds. Other expense of $14.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 consisted of $17.8 million of interest expense under the Hercules Loan Agreement and Revenue Interest Financing Agreement, partially offset by $3.6 million of interest income related to cash held in money market funds.

Revenue. Product revenues were $68.0 million and $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to sales of VOQUEZNA, VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK, and VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK which were launched during the fourth quarter of 2023.
Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenues were $8.8 million and $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In periods prior to receiving FDA approval for VOQUEZNA, we recognized inventory and related costs associated with the manufacture of VOQUEZNA as research and development expense and as such, the cost of revenue and related gross profits are not necessarily indicative of future costs of revenue and gross profit. Therefore, the manufacturing costs related to the inventory purchased before FDA approval were already expensed in a prior period and are therefore excluded from the cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025. These previously expensed costs were not material.
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses were $18.3 million and $16.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase of $1.5 million consists of $1.7 million related to higher personnel-related expenses due to restructuring charges, partially offset by $0.2 million of lower project and consulting costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $179.8 million and $137.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase of $41.9 million was due to increases of $32.5 million of advertising and promotional expenses in support of our ongoing commercial launch of VOQUEZNA, and an increase of $8.9 million in personnel-related expenses due to restructuring charges, and an increase of $0.5 million in legal and professional fees.
Other Income (Expense). Other expense of $31.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 consisted of $35.6 million of interest expense under the Loan Agreement and Revenue Interest Financing Agreement, partially offset by $4.4 million of interest income related to cash held in money market funds. Other expense of $27.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 consisted of $34.9 million of interest expense under the Loan Agreement and Revenue Interest Financing Agreement, partially offset by $7.9 million of interest income related to cash held in money market funds. Interest expense increased due to a higher debt balance under the Loan Agreement as well as a higher liability related to our Revenue Interest Financing Agreement versus the prior period, partially offset by interest income on our cash position.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception and anticipate we will continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. As of June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $149.6 million.
Loan Agreement with Hercules
On September 17, 2021, or the Closing Date, we entered into the Loan Agreement with Hercules (in such capacity, the Agent or Hercules), as administrative agent and collateral agent and as a lender and the other financial institutions that from time to time become parties to the Loan Agreement as lenders (collectively, the Lenders).
The Loan Agreement provides for term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $200 million, or the Term Loan, under multiple tranches. The tranches consist of (i) a first tranche consisting of term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $100 million, all of which was funded on the Closing Date, or the First Advance, (ii) a second tranche consisting of up to an additional $50 million, (iii) a third and fourth tranches consisting of an additional total $50 million, which became available to us in May 2022.
On September 27, 2022, we entered into an amendment to the Loan Agreement, or the Second Loan Amendment, pursuant to which the date the second tranche of funding of $50 million will remain available to us and was moved to May 15, 2023, rather than December 15, 2022.
On May 9, 2023, we entered into the Third Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, or the Third Loan Amendment, with the lenders, pursuant to which, among other things, (i) the second tranche availability was extended from through May 15, 2023, to through December 15, 2023, and became available on October 1, 2023, (ii) the third tranche availability was extended from through September 30, 2023, to through December 15, 2023, and became available on October 1, 2023, (iii) the effective date of the Performance Covenants was amended to provide an option to extend the covenant trigger date to May 15, 2024, subject to the achievement of the FDA approval of vonoprazan for Erosive GERD or the EE Milestone, prior to February 15, 2024, and (iv) the warrant agreement with Hercules was amended as described below. On November 1, 2023, the EE Milestone was achieved and the covenant trigger date was extended to May 15, 2024. In connection with the Third Loan Amendment, a tranche extension amendment fee of $150,000 and a covenant extension amendment fee of $100,000 was paid to the Agent. These fees have been recorded as debt discount and are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the remaining term of the Term Loan.
On December 14, 2023, we entered into a Fourth Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, or the Fourth Loan Amendment, with the lenders, which, among other things, (i) increased the aggregate principal amount of the term loans from $200 million to $300 million; (ii) provided for the possibility of accessing the $200 million commitment through five additional tranches referred to as tranches 2 through 6, which are available subject to certain milestones and conditions: (a) Tranche 2: $50 million, $40 million of which was funded on December 14, 2023, and the remaining $10 million of which was funded on March 15, 2024, (b) Tranche 3: $25 million, which was funded on June 14, 2024, (c) Tranche 4: $25 million, which was funded on December 14, 2024, (d) Tranche 5: $50 million which was available, subject to the achievement of a specified revenue milestone, through June 30, 2025 and which we did not draw down, and (e) Tranche 6: $50 million available, subject to the achievement of a specified revenue milestone, through December 31, 2025; (iii) extended the interest only period and the maturity date from October 2026 to December 2027, (iv) reduced the cash interest rate from 10.75% (floating annual rate equal to the greater of (a) 5.50% and (b) the Prime Rate (as reported in the Wall Street Journal) plus 2.25% to 9.85% (floating rate based on the greater of (a) 9.85% or (b) US WSJ Prime + 1.35%), provided that the cash interest rate shall be capped at 10.35% and upon us achieving the certain milestones, the cash interest shall be decreased by 0.35%, and (v) decreased the payment-in-kind interest rate from 3.35% per annum to 2.15% per annum. In connection with the Fourth Loan Amendment, an amendment fee of $250,000 was paid to the Agent and was recorded as a debt discount and being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the remaining term of the Term Loan.
The Term Loan will mature on December 1, 2027, or the Maturity Date. The Term Loan bears (i) cash interest at a variable annual rate equal to the greater of (a) 9.85% and (b) the Prime Rate (as reported in the Wall Street Journal) plus 1.35%, or the Interest Rate, and (ii) payment-in-kind interest at a per annum rate of interest equal to 2.15%. We may make payments of interest only through the Maturity Date. After the interest-only period, the principal balance and related interest will be required to be repaid in full on the Maturity Date.
In addition, we are obligated to pay a final payment fee of 7.50% of the original principal amount of amounts actually advanced under the Term Loan, or each a Term Loan Advance and together, the Term Loan Advances. In connection with the Fourth
Loan Amendment, the final payment fee was amended to be $1 million plus 3.00% of any future tranche drawdowns under the agreement, due upon final maturity. Additionally, the initial final payment fee for the first term Loan advance was amended to become payable on October 1, 2026. As of June 30, 2025, the aggregate $11.5 million of final payment fees includes the first Term Loan Advance of $7.5 million, $2.5 million for the second Term Loan Advance, $0.8 million for the third Term Loan Advance, and $0.7 million for the fourth Term Loan Advance and have been recorded within other long-term liabilities.
Under the Fourth Loan Amendment, we may elect to prepay all or a portion of the Term Loan Advances prior to maturity, subject to a prepayment fee of up to 1.25% of the then outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan Advances being prepaid when such prepayment occurs prior to October 1, 2026, or 0.50% if such prepayment occurs on or after October 1, 2026. After repayment, no Term Loan amounts may be borrowed again.
The Loan Agreement contains customary closing fees, prepayment fees and provisions, events of default, and representations, warranties and covenants, including financial covenants. The financial covenants under the Fourth Loan Amendment include (i) a minimum cash covenant and (ii) a performance covenant as follows:
(i)Minimum cash covenant - We must maintain a minimum cash balance of 20% of the outstanding principal balance at all times. The minimum cash balance may be increased to 35% or 50% under performance covenant (b) below if the performance covenants (a) or (c) are not met beginning September 30, 2024 and all times thereafter.
(ii)Performance covenant - Beginning September 30, 2024 and all times thereafter we must satisfy any one of the following:
a.Market capitalization exceeding $900 million;
b.Minimum cash balance exceeding (x) outstanding principal amount of term loans, multiplied by (y) (A) 50%, prior to achieving trailing three months net product revenue of greater than $35 million, and (B) 35% thereafter; or
c.Trailing three months net product revenue of at least (x) 30% of agreed upon projected net revenues for periods in the calendar year 2024 and 25% for all periods thereafter or (y) $120 million.
Upon the occurrence of an event of default, subject to any specified cure periods, all amounts owed by us may be declared immediately due and payable by Hercules, as collateral agent.
As of June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Loan Agreement. Based on the current revenue projections, we do not expect to meet the revenue threshold to draw the Sixth Tranche. The current operating plan does not anticipate a need to draw any additional amounts under the Loan Agreement.
As collateral for the obligations, we granted Hercules a senior security interest in all of our right, title, and interest in, to and under substantially all of our property, inclusive of intellectual property.
In connection with the entry into the Loan Agreement, we issued to Hercules a warrant, or the Warrant, to purchase a number of shares of our common stock equal to 2.5% of the aggregate amount of the Term Loan advances funded, and will issue to Hercules additional warrants if any future Term Loan advances are funded. On the Closing Date, we issued a Warrant for 74,782 shares of common stock. The Warrant is exercisable for a period of seven years from the date of issuance at a per-share exercise price equal to $33.43, which was the closing price of our common stock on September 16, 2021. In connection with the entry into the Third Loan Amendment, we amended the form of warrants to be issued upon drawdowns of future tranches such that the exercise price of such warrants shall be equal to the lesser (i) of $11.6783, which was the trailing ten-day VWAP prior to entering into the Third Loan Amendment and (ii) the trailing ten-day VWAP preceding the date on which we drawdown future tranches. In connection with the entry into the Fourth Amendment, we eliminated the warrant agreement for all future tranches. The Warrant issued with the initial tranche was not modified as part of this amendment. The exercise price and terms of the outstanding Warrant remain unchanged.
The initial $1.3 million fair value of the Warrant, the $11.5 million final interest payment fees and $4.6 million of debt issuance costs have been recorded as debt discount and are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the Term Loan.
Revenue Interest Financing Agreement
On May 3, 2022, we entered into a Revenue Interest Financing Agreement, or the Revenue Interest Financing Agreement, with entities managed or advised by NovaQuest Capital Management, or NQ, Sagard Holdings Manager LP, or Sagard, and Hercules,
together with NQ and Sagard, or the Initial Investors, pursuant to which we had the right to receive up to $260 million in funding from the Initial Investors. Under the terms of the Revenue Interest Financing Agreement, we received $100 million at the initial closing and received an additional $160 million upon FDA approval of vonoprazan for treatment of Erosive GERD in the fourth quarter of 2023. Additionally, on October 31, 2022, we entered into a Joinder and Waiver Agreement with the Initial Investors and CO Finance LVS XXXVII LLC, or the Additional Investor, and Hercules in its capacity as administrative agent and collateral agent for itself and the lenders under that certain Loan Agreement, or the Joinder Agreement, in respect of the Revenue Interest Financing Agreement. Under the terms of the Joinder Agreement, we received $15 million in additional funding upon FDA approval of vonoprazan for Erosive GERD, or Approval Additional Funding, in the fourth quarter of 2023 and provided for $25 million in additional funding for achievement of a sales milestone, or Milestone Additional Funding, and, together with the Approval Additional Funding, or the Additional Investor Funding. The Initial Investors waived their right of first offer for any Additional Investor Funding. On December 23, 2024, CO Finance LVS XXXVII LLC agreed to assign and transfer to OC III LVS LX LP all of its rights, title and interest as an Additional Investor and in connection therewith, OC III LVS LX LP executed a Joinder Agreement. The total amount funded by the Initial Investors and any subsequent investors is referred to herein as the Investment Amount. As of June 30, 2025, no additional funding is available under the Revenue Interest Financing Agreement.
Under the Revenue Interest Financing Agreement, the Initial Investors and the Additional Investors, are entitled to receive a 10% royalty on net sales of products containing vonoprazan. The royalty rate is subject to a step-down on net sales exceeding certain annual thresholds and upon FDA approval for vonoprazan for an indication relating to the treatment of heartburn associated with Non-Erosive GERD, which occurred on July 17, 2024. The investors’ right to receive royalties on net sales will terminate when the investors have aggregate payments equal to 200% of the Investment Amount. In addition, at any time after April 30, 2024, we have the right to make a cap payment equal to 200% of the Investment Amount less any royalties already paid, at which time the agreement will terminate.
If the investors have not received aggregate payments of at least 100% of the Investment Amount by December 31, 2028, and at least 200% of the Investment Amount by December 31, 2037, each a Minimum Amount, then we will be obligated to make a cash payment to the investors in an amount sufficient to gross the investors up to the applicable Minimum Amount.
Upon the occurrence of an event of default taking place between April 1, 2025 and April 1, 2028, or after April 1, 2028, we are obligated to pay 1.30 times Investment Amount, 1.65 times Investment Amount, and 2.0 times investment amount, respectively, less any amounts we previously paid pursuant to the agreement.
At-the-Market-Offerings
In November 2020, we entered into an Open Market Sale AgreementSM, or the Sales Agreement, with Jefferies LLC, or the Sales Agent, under which we may, from time to time, sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to an amount registered under an effective registration statement through the Sales Agent.
In November 2023, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 which was declared effective by the SEC on November 17, 2023, which included an at-the-market prospectus pursuant to which we may, from time to time, sell up to an aggregate of $150 million of our common stock through the Sales Agent, or the 2023 ATM Offering. We are not obligated to, and we cannot provide any assurances that we will, make any sales of the shares under the Sales Agreement. The Sales Agreement may be terminated by the Sales Agent or us at any time. No shares were sold during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. As of June 30, 2025, all of the available $150 million under the 2023 ATM Offering remains available.
Underwritten Public Offerings
On August 20, 2024, we completed an underwritten public offering, in which we sold 8,695,652 shares of our common stock at a price of $11.50 per share and pre-funded warrants to purchase 2,608,922 shares of our common stock at a price of $11.499 per pre-funded warrant for total gross proceeds of $130.0 million. The net purchase price after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses, was $10.77 per share or net proceeds of $121.8 million.
Funding Requirements
Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents together with anticipated product revenues, are sufficient to fund operations for at least the next twelve months. However, our forecast of the period of time through which our financial resources may be adequate to support our operations is a forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties and actual results could vary materially. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be inaccurate,
and we could deplete our capital resources sooner than we expect based on the amount and timing of product sales and operating expenses, among other factors. Additionally, the process of testing product candidates in clinical trials is costly, and the timing of progress and expenses in these trials is uncertain.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
•our ability to realize the benefits of our organizational changes and restructuring;
•our ability to achieve sufficient market acceptance, coverage and adequate reimbursement from third-party payers and adequate market share and revenue for any approved products;
•the costs of sales and marketing activities in support of the commercial launch of our approved products, or any future product candidates we may choose to pursue, if successfully developed and approved;
•patients’ willingness to pay out-of-pocket for any approved products in the absence of coverage and/or adequate reimbursement from third-party payers;
•the costs and timing of manufacturing for vonoprazan and supply of antibiotics for use in VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK and VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK or any future product candidates;
•the initiation, type, number, scope, results, costs and timing of our clinical trials of vonoprazan, and preclinical studies or clinical trials of other potential product candidates we may choose to pursue in the future, including feedback received from regulatory authorities;
•the costs, timing and outcome of regulatory review of future vonoprazan applications or such applications for any future product candidates;
•the costs of obtaining, maintaining and enforcing our patents and other intellectual property rights;
•the costs associated with hiring additional personnel and consultants as our business grows and enhancing our operational systems;
•the timing and amount of the milestone or other payments we must make to Takeda and any future licensors;
•the terms and timing of establishing and maintaining collaborations, licenses and other similar arrangements; and
•costs associated with any products or technologies that we may in-license or acquire.
Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenues to support our cost structure, we expect to finance our cash needs through equity offerings, the Revenue Interest Financing Agreement, debt financings, potentially the Loan Agreement or other capital sources, including potential collaborations, licenses and other similar arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be or could be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders. Debt financing and equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise funds through collaborations, or other similar arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us and/or may reduce the value of our common stock. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market our product candidates even if we would otherwise prefer to develop and market such product candidates ourselves.
Including our existing cash and cash equivalents, we believe that we have sufficient working capital on hand to fund operations such that there is no substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern at the date the unaudited interim condensed financial statements were issued. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in acquiring additional funding, that our projections of future working capital needs will prove accurate, or that any additional funding would be sufficient to continue operations in future years. Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents together with anticipated product revenues, are sufficient to fund operations for at least the next twelve months.

The net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was due to approximately $132.1 million spent on ongoing research and development and selling, general and administrative activities and a $7.6 million net change in operating assets and liabilities. The net change in operating assets and liabilities primarily related to a $4.0 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses (including interest, operating lease assets and liabilities), and a $11.6 million net increase in accounts receivable, inventory, and prepaid assets and other current assets in support of our growth and launch of our commercial products.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments
There were no material changes outside the ordinary course of our business during the six months ended June 30, 2025 to the information regarding our contractual obligations that was disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our 2024 Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements and accompanying notes. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
For a description of our critical accounting policies, please see the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates” contained in our 2024 Form 10-K. There have not been any material changes to the critical accounting policies discussed therein during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Other Company Information
Smaller Reporting Company Status
We are a smaller reporting company as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies and will be able to take advantage of these scaled disclosures for so long as (i) our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter or (ii) our annual revenue is less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The information required by this item is included in Note 1, Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in Part 1, Item 1 of this quarterly report.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During the periods presented we did not have, nor do we currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC rules.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As of June 30, 2025, there have been no material changes surrounding our market risk, including interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange risk, and inflation risk, from the discussion provided in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of our 2024 Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic and current reports that we file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. In addition, the design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our second fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
