MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this document, includes forward looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in or implied by these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Please also see the section titled “Forward Looking Statements.”

The following discussion contains references to the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which represents the condensed consolidated financial results of Rani Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiary, Rani Therapeutics, LLC (“Rani LLC”) for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Unless we state otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” and “Rani” and similar references refer to the Company and its consolidated subsidiary.

Overview

We are a clinical-stage biotherapeutics company focusing on advancing technologies to enable the administration of biologics and drugs orally, to provide patients, physicians, and healthcare systems with a convenient alternative to painful injections. Our technology comprises a drug-agnostic oral delivery platform, the RaniPill capsule, which is designed to deliver a wide variety of drug substances, including antibodies, proteins, peptides, and oligonucleotides. We are advancing a portfolio of oral therapeutics using the RaniPill capsule and we are actively pursuing partnering the technology with third party biopharmaceutical companies for the oral delivery of their biologics and drugs.

Our technology comprises a drug-agnostic oral delivery platform, the RaniPill capsule, which is designed to deliver a wide variety of drug substances, including antibodies, proteins, peptides, and oligonucleotides. We have two configurations of the platform – the RaniPill GO and the RaniPill HC. The RaniPill GO is designed to deliver up to a 3 mg dose of drug in microtablet form with high bioavailability. We have completed three Phase 1 clinical trials using the RaniPill GO. We are also developing a high-capacity version of the RaniPill capsule known as the RaniPill HC, which is intended to enable delivery of drug payloads up to 200µL in liquid form with high bioavailability. We have tested preclinically the RaniPill HC with multiple therapeutics, including multiple different antibodies and peptides. In December 2025, we initiated a Phase 1 clinical trial with the RT-114, a RaniPill HC capsule, containing a bispecific GLP-1/GLP-2 receptor agonist (PG-102) in collaboration with ProGen.

We believe the RaniPill capsule technology could enable us to deliver most biologics currently on the market with convenient, oral dosing.

We do not have any products approved for sale, and we have not yet generated any revenue from sales of a commercial product. Our ability to generate product revenue sufficient to achieve profitability, if ever, will depend on the successful development of the RaniPill capsule, which we expect will take a number of years. Given our stage of development, we have not yet established a commercial organization or distribution capabilities, and we have no experience as a company in marketing drugs or a drug-delivery platform. When, and if, any of our product candidates are approved for commercialization, we plan to develop a commercialization infrastructure or engage commercial sales organizations or distributors for those products in the United States, Europe, Asia, and potentially in certain other key markets. We may also rely on partnerships to provide commercialization infrastructure, including sales, marketing, and commercial distribution.

As is common with biotechnology companies, we rely on third-party suppliers for the supply of raw materials and active pharmaceutical ingredients ("APIs") and drug substances required for the production of our product candidates. In addition, we work with third parties to manufacture and develop biologics and drugs for inclusion in the RaniPill capsule. Design work, prototyping and pilot manufacturing are performed in house, and we have utilized third-party engineering firms to assist with the design of manufacturing lines that support our supply of the RaniPill capsule. Certain of our suppliers of components and materials are single source suppliers. We believe our vertically integrated manufacturing strategy will offer significant advantages, including rapid product iteration, control over our product quality and the ability to rapidly scale our manufacturing capacity. This capability also allows us to develop future generations of products while maintaining the confidentiality of our intellectual property. Our vertically integrated manufacturing strategy will result in material future capital outlays and fixed costs related to constructing and operating a manufacturing facility. We have invested and plan to continue to invest in automated manufacturing production lines for the RaniPill capsule. Those assets deemed to have an alternative future use have been capitalized as property and equipment while those projects related to our assets determined to not have an alternative future use have been expensed as research and development costs.

Clinical Update

In December 2025, we initiated a Phase 1 clinical trial with RT-114, a RaniPill HC capsule containing a bispecific GLP-1/GLP-2 receptor agonist (PG-102) in collaboration with ProGen. The Phase 1 trial will evaluate the safety, tolerability, bioavailability, and pharmacokinetics / pharmacodynamics of single and multiple doses of RT-114 for the treatment of obesity.

The single-center Phase 1 study of RT-114 is being conducted in Australia. The single dose portion of the study is underway and will evaluate the safety, tolerability and bioavailability of RT-114 administered in up to 30 healthy human participants. This part of the trial consists of two cohorts, with one cohort evaluating RT-114 containing 12 mg of PG-102, administered orally as a RaniPill capsule. The second cohort, as the control group, will receive 12 mg of PG-102 via subcutaneous injection.

The Phase 1 trial of RT-114 is ongoing as of the date of this filing, and we expect to provide an update following completion of the study in 2027.

Results of Operations

The results of operations presented below should be reviewed in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. For information with respect to recent accounting pronouncements that are of significance or potential significance to us, see “Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the “Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025

The following table summarizes our results of operations (in thousands):

*Not meaningful

Contract Revenue

Contract revenue of $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was attributable to Chugai Collaboration and License Agreement entered into in October 2025. There was $0.2 million of contract revenue from evaluation services performed for Chugai for the same period in 2025.

Research and Development Expenses

The following table reflects our research and development costs by nature of expense (in thousands):

The decrease of $1.4 million in research and development expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, was primarily attributed to lower compensation costs of $1.1 million, $0.2 million reduction in facilities, materials and supplies and $0.1 million decrease in third-party services.

General and Administrative Expenses

The decrease of $0.7 million in general and administrative expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, was primarily attributed to lower compensation costs of $1.2 million and $0.1 million reduction in facilities, materials and supplies, offset by an increase in third-party services of $0.6 million.

Other Income (Expense), Net

The increase of $1.1 million in other income (expense), net, in the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, was primarily attributed to an increase in interest income of $0.2 million from our investment in marketable securities and a decrease in interest expense of $0.9 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We have incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception, including net loss of $8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $139.6 million and for three months ended March 31, 2026, had negative cash flows from operations of $6.5 million. As of March 31, 2026, our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $43.4 million. We expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future, and our net losses may fluctuate significantly from period to period, depending on the timing of and expenditures on our planned research and development activities.

Based on our current operating plans and assumptions, we believe that our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund our operations through at least twelve months from the date that our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are issued.

Future Funding Requirements

We will need to raise substantial additional funds in the future in order to complete the development of the RaniPill platform, to complete the clinical development of our product candidates and seek regulatory approval thereof, to expand our manufacturing capabilities, to further develop the RaniPill technology and to commercialize any of our product candidates.

To date, we have not generated any commercial product revenue. We do not expect to generate any commercial product revenue unless and until we obtain regulatory approval and commercialize any of our commercial product candidates, and we do not know when, or if at all, that will occur. We will continue to require additional capital to develop our product candidates and fund operations for the foreseeable future. Our primary uses of cash are to fund our operations, which consist primarily of research and development expenses related to our programs, manufacturing automation and scaleup, and general and administrative expenses. We expect our expenses to continue to increase in connection with our ongoing activities as we continue to advance the RaniPill technology and our product candidates.

We may seek to raise capital through equity offerings or debt financings, which may include collaboration agreements, or other arrangements with other companies, or through other sources of financing. Adequate additional funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed could have a negative impact on our consolidated financial condition and our ability to pursue our business strategies. We anticipate that we will need to raise substantial additional capital, the requirements of which will depend on many factors, including:

• the progress, costs, trial design, results of and timing of our preclinical studies and clinical trials;
• the success of our current collaborations, including those with Chugai and ProGen, and our ability to receive expected milestones under these collaborations;
• the progress, costs, and results of our research pipeline;
• the willingness of the FDA, or other regulatory authorities to accept data from our clinical trials, as well as data from our completed and planned clinical trials and preclinical studies and other work, as the basis for review and approval of our product candidates or collaborator drugs or biologics paired with the RaniPill technology for various indications;
• the outcome, costs, and timing of seeking and obtaining FDA and any other regulatory approvals;
• the number and characteristics of product candidates that we pursue;
• our ability to manufacture sufficient quantities of the RaniPill capsules;
• our need to expand our research and development activities;
• the costs associated with manufacturing our product candidates, including establishing commercial supplies and sales, marketing, and distribution capabilities;
• the costs associated with securing and establishing commercial infrastructure;
• the costs of acquiring, licensing, or investing in businesses, product candidates, and technologies;
• our ability to maintain, expand, and defend the scope of our intellectual property portfolio, including the amount and timing of any payments we may be required to make, or that we may receive, in connection with the licensing, filing, prosecution, defense, and enforcement of any patents or other intellectual property rights;
• our need and ability to retain key management and hire scientific, technical, business, and engineering personnel;
• the effect of competing drugs and product candidates and other market developments;
• the timing, receipt, and amount of sales from our potential products, if approved;
• our ability to establish strategic collaborations;
• our need to implement additional internal systems and infrastructure, including financial and reporting systems;
• security breaches, data losses or other disruptions affecting our information systems;
• our ability to realize savings from any restructuring plans or cost-containment measures we may implement; and
• the economic and other terms, timing of and success of any collaboration, licensing, or other arrangements which we may enter in the future.

If we raise additional capital through debt financing, we may be subject to covenants that restrict our operations including limitations on our ability to incur liens or additional debt, pay dividends, make certain investments, and engage in certain merger, consolidation, or asset sale transactions. Any debt financing or additional equity that we raise may contain terms that are not favorable to us. If we raise funds through collaborations, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs, product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed, we may be required to delay, reduce, or terminate some or all of our development programs and clinical trials or delay investments in our manufacturing scale-up and automation. In addition, our ability to raise additional capital may be adversely impacted by potential worsening global economic conditions and the recent disruptions to and volatility in the credit and financial markets in the U.S. and worldwide resulting from the effects of ongoing military conflicts, inflationary pressures, potential future bank failures, or otherwise. In this regard, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine military conflict and the ongoing military conflict involving the U.S., Israel and Iran have created extreme volatility in the global credit and financial markets and have had and may continue to have further global economic consequences, including continued disruptions of the global supply chain and energy markets, which could continue to drive inflationary pressures and increase global recession risk.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash provided by investing activities was $18.2 million, which primarily consisted of $21.0 million in proceeds from maturities of marketable securities, partially offset by $2.7 million in purchases of marketable securities and $0.1 million in purchases of property and equipment.

Financing Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash used in financing activities was de minimis.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in financing activities was $3.7 million, which primarily consisted of repayment of debt of $3.8 million.

Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments

As of March 31, 2026, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations and other commitments compared to those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations and commitments as of March 31, 2026 (in thousands):

(1) Represents operating lease payments. See Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Critical Accounting Estimates

We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require our management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We base our estimates on our own historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable after taking account of our circumstances and expectations for the future based on available information. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial condition or results of operations would be affected.

We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (i) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (ii) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. There are items within our condensed consolidated financial statements that require estimation but are not deemed critical, as defined above.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

See Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Other Information

JOBS Act Accounting Election

We are an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). The JOBS Act permits an emerging growth company like us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. We are electing to use this extended transition period and we will therefore comply with new or revised accounting standards on the earlier of (i) when they apply to private companies; or (ii) when we lose our emerging growth company status. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable with companies that comply with public company effective dates for accounting standards. We also rely on other exemptions provided by the JOBS Act, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act unless we cease to be an emerging growth company.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (1) December 31, 2026 (the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the closing of our IPO), (2) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, (3) the last day of the fiscal year in which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which would occur if the market value of our Class A common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700.0 million as of the last business day of the second fiscal quarter of such year or (4) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act 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 the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objective and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, solely as a result of the material weakness previously identified by management and described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2026.

Previously Identified Material Weakness

As described in Part II, Item 9A, Controls and Procedures, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, we previously identified a material weakness related to the design and implementation effectiveness of the control related to the accounting for certain significant and complex or unusual transactions. While the material weakness did not result in a misstatement of our previously filed annual or interim consolidated financial statements, this material weakness, until remediated, could result in a material misstatement to one or more accounts or disclosures that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Remediation

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we continued to implement remediation measures designed to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting and remediate previously identified material weakness. These measures include revising policies and procedures and implementing additional training to enhance our risk assessment and review processes related to significant and complex transactions, particularly in evolving and growing areas of our business.

These remediation efforts are subject to ongoing senior management review, as well as oversight by the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the relevant control has been designed and implemented effectively for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that the control is effective. We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of our remediation efforts and make additional improvements as management deems necessary.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except as noted above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the three months ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and are effective at the reasonable assurance level. However, our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. 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, controls 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.

Other than described below, management believes that there have been no significant changes to the risk factors associated with our business as compared to those disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

We currently do not meet, and may not regain compliance with, the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, or Nasdaq, and as a result our Class A common stock may be delisted. Delisting could adversely affect the liquidity of our Class A common stock and the market price of our Class A common stock could decrease, and our ability to obtain sufficient additional capital to fund our operations and to continue to operate as a going concern would be substantially impaired.

Our Class A common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Global Market, which has minimum requirements that a company must meet in order to remain listed. These requirements include maintaining a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share, which closing bid price cannot fall below $1.00 per share for a period of more than 30 consecutive trading days, or the Bid Price Requirement. On May 11, 2026, we received a deficiency notice, or the Notice, from the Listing Qualifications Staff, or the Staff, of Nasdaq notifying us that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of our Class A common stock had closed below $1.00 per share, thereby failing to satisfy the Bid Price Requirement set forth in the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of our Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have 180 calendar days, or until November 9, 2026, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement by having shares of our Class A common stock maintain a minimum closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days. In the event we do not regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement prior to the expiration of the compliance period, our Class A common stock may be subject to a delisting action by Nasdaq.

Alternatively, we may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day compliance period if we elect to transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market to take advantage of the additional compliance period offered on that market. To qualify, we will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards, with the exception of the Bid Price Requirement, and will need to provide written notice of our intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split if necessary. If we do not regain compliance within the compliance period(s), including any extensions that may be granted by Nasdaq, then the Class A common stock will be subject to delisting. We intend to monitor the closing bid price of our Class A common stock and consider our available options to resolve the noncompliance with the Bid Price Requirement. There can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Global Market’s continued listing requirements or that Nasdaq will grant us a further extension of time to regain compliance, if applicable.

A reverse stock split may allow us to meet the Bid Price Requirement, but we cannot assure you that a reverse stock split will be approved by our stockholders or that any reverse stock split, if implemented, will be sufficient to enable us to maintain our Nasdaq listing. Additionally, if a reverse stock split is implemented, there can be no assurance that the market price per post-split share of our Class A common stock following the reverse stock split will remain unchanged or will increase in proportion to the reduction in the number of pre-split shares of our Class A common stock outstanding before the reverse stock split. The liquidity of the shares of our Class A common stock may be affected adversely by any reverse stock split given the reduced number of shares of our Class A common stock that will be outstanding following such reverse stock split. Furthermore, following any reverse stock split, the resulting market price of our Class A common stock may not attract new investors and may not satisfy the investing requirements of those investors.

In the event that our Class A common stock is delisted from Nasdaq as a result of our failure to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement, as a result of Nasdaq not granting us an extension or the panel not granting us a favorable decision or due to our failure to continue to comply with any other requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq, trading of our Class A common stock could be conducted in the over-the-counter market or on an electronic bulletin board established for unlisted securities such as the Pink Sheets or the OTC Bulletin Board, but there can be no assurance that our Class A common stock will be eligible for trading on such alternative exchange or market.

Additionally, if our Class A common stock is delisted from Nasdaq, the liquidity of our Class A common stock would be adversely affected, the market price of our Class A common stock could decrease, our ability to obtain sufficient additional capital to fund our operations and to continue to operate as a going concern would be substantially impaired and transactions in our Class A common stock could lose federal preemption of state securities laws. Furthermore, there could also be a further reduction in our coverage by securities analysts and the news media and broker-dealers may be deterred from making a market in or otherwise seeking or generating interest in our Class A common stock, which could cause the price of our Class A common stock to decline further. Moreover, delisting may also negatively affect our collaborators’, vendors’, suppliers’ and employees’ confidence in us and employee morale.
