Precigen, Inc.: Form 10-Q for the period ended Mar 31, 2025

The following "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial information and the notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or Quarterly Report, and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, or Annual Report.

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, expectations, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, particularly in "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors." The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report are made only as of the date hereof.

Overview

We are a dedicated discovery and clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company advancing the next generation of gene and cell therapies with the overall goal of improving outcomes for patients with significant unmet medical needs. We are leveraging our proprietary technology platforms to develop product candidates designed to target urgent and intractable diseases in our core therapeutic areas of immuno-oncology, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases. We have developed an extensive pipeline of therapies across multiple indications.

We believe that our array of technology platforms uniquely positions us among other biotechnology companies to advance precision medicine. Precision medicine is the practice of therapeutic product development that takes into account specific genetic variations within populations impacted by a disease to design targeted therapies to improve outcomes for a disease or patient population. Our proprietary and complementary technology platforms provide a strong foundation to realize the core promise of precision medicine by supporting our efforts to construct powerful gene programs to drive efficacy, deliver these programs through viral, non-viral, and microbe-based approaches to drive lower costs, and control gene expression to drive safety. Our therapeutic platforms, including UltraCAR-T, AdenoVerse immunotherapy, and ActoBiotics, are designed to allow us to precisely control the level and physiological location of gene expression and modify biological molecules to control the function and output of living cells to treat underlying disease conditions. We have developed a proprietary electroporation device, UltraPorator, designed to further streamline and ensure the rapid and cost-effective manufacturing of UltraCAR-T therapies. UltraPorator has received FDA clearance for manufacturing UltraCAR-T cells in clinical trials, and we have been dosing patients with UltraCAR-T cells manufactured with UltraPorator in our clinical trials.

Our clinical pipeline includes PRGN-2012 and PRGN-2009, which are based on our AdenoVerse immunotherapy platform; and PRGN-3005, PRGN-3006 and PRGN-3007, which are built on our UltraCAR-T platform. We have completed enrollment in the Phase 1b clinical trial of PRGN-3006. As part of the strategic prioritization of our pipeline, we have paused enrollment in the PRGN-3005 and PRGN-3007 clinical trials.

In August 2024, we announced strategic prioritization of our pipeline to focus on development of our lead program, PRGN-2012. We plan to minimize UltraCAR-T spending and focus on strategic partnerships to further advance UltraCAR-T programs. As part of this restructuring, we have paused enrollment in PRGN-3005 and PRGN-3007 UltraCAR-T clinical trials. In addition, we plan to continue PRGN-2009 Phase 2 clinical trials under a cooperative research and development agreement ("CRADA") with the National Cancer Institute ("NCI") in recurrent/metastatic cervical cancer and in newly diagnosed HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer. We have reduced our focus on preclinical programs, while continuing select projects that we believe could provide further near-term validation of our technology platforms.

These strategic changes are designed to enable us to focus on the pre-commercialization efforts on PRGN-2012, including supporting regulatory approval, conducting the confirmatory clinical trial, and manufacturing of commercial products. Additionally, we will continue acceleration of commercial readiness efforts for a potential launch. We have completed submission of a Biologics License Application ("BLA") for PRGN-2012 for the treatment of adults with Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis ("RRP") and the FDA has granted priority review with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act ("PDUFA") target action date set for August 27, 2025.

Precigen

We are developing therapies built on our "off-the-shelf" AdenoVerse immunotherapy platform and our UltraCAR-T therapeutics platform. Our AdenoVerse immunotherapy platform utilizes a library of proprietary adenovectors for the efficient gene delivery of therapeutic effectors, immunomodulators, and vaccine antigens. We have established proprietary manufacturing cell lines and production methodologies from our AdenoVerse immunotherapy platform, which we believe are scalable for commercial supply. We believe that our proprietary gorilla adenovectors, part of the AdenoVerse technology, have superior performance characteristics as compared to current competition, including standard human adenovirus serotype 5, rare human adenovirus types and other non-human primate adenovirus types.

Through our UltraCAR-T therapeutics platform, we are able to precision-engineer UltraCAR-T cells to produce a homogeneous cell product that simultaneously expresses antigen-specific chimeric antigen receptor, or CAR, kill switch, and our proprietary membrane-bound interleukin-15, or mbIL15, genes in any genetically modified UltraCAR-T cell. Our decentralized and rapid proprietary manufacturing process allows us to manufacture UltraCAR-T cells overnight at a medical center's current good manufacturing practices facility, or cGMP, and reinfuse the patient the following day after gene transfer. This process improves upon current approaches to CAR-T manufacturing, which require extensive ex vivo expansion following viral vector transduction to achieve clinically relevant cell numbers that we believe can result in the exhaustion of CAR-T cells prior to their administration, limiting their potential for persistence in patients. We have developed a proprietary electroporation device, UltraPorator, designed to further streamline and ensure the rapid and cost-effective manufacturing of UltraCAR-T therapies. The UltraPorator system includes proprietary hardware and software solutions and potentially represents major advancements over current electroporation devices by significantly reducing the processing time and contamination risk. UltraPorator is intended to be a viable scale-up and commercialization solution for decentralized UltraCAR-T manufacturing.

PRGN-2012 is an investigational "off-the-shelf" AdenoVerse gene therapy with optimized antigen design that uses our gorilla adenovector technology, part of our proprietary AdenoVerse platform, to elicit immune responses directed against cells infected with HPV6 and HPV11. We have completed the Phase 1/2 pivotal clinical trial of PRGN-2012 in adults with RRP. The Phase 1/2 pivotal study met the primary safety and efficacy endpoints. The confirmatory clinical trial of PRGN-2012 is enrolling patients. PRGN-2012 has been granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation and Orphan Drug designation for the treatment of RRP by the FDA. PRGN-2012 has received Orphan Drug Designation for the Treatment of RRP from the European Commission as well. We have completed the submission of, and received priority review for Precigen's BLA for PRGN-2012, which is intended for treating adults with RRP. The PDUFA target action date is set for August 27, 2025.

PRGN-2009 is an "off-the-shelf" investigational gene therapy designed to activate the immune system to recognize and target human papillomavirus-positive, or HPV+, solid tumors. PRGN-2009 leverages our UltraVector and AdenoVerse platforms to optimize HPV type 16 ("HPV 16") and HPV type 18 ("HPV 18"), antigen designed for delivery via a proprietary gorilla adenovector with a large genetic payload capacity and the ability for repeat administrations. Guided by our bioinformatics analysis and in silico protein engineering, PRGN-2009 encodes for a novel, multi-epitope antigen design to target HPV16 and HPV18 infected cells and potentially differentiates from the competition. We have completed a Phase 1 clinical trial of PRGN-2009 as a monotherapy or in combination with bintrafusp alfa, or M7824, an investigational bifunctional fusion protein, for patients with HPV-associated cancers in collaboration with the NCI, pursuant to a CRADA. PRGN-2009 is being evaluated in two Phase 2 clinical trials in combination with anti-PD1 monoclonal antibody, pembrolizumab, for patients with HPV-associated cancers in collaboration with NCI pursuant to a CRADA. In addition, a Phase 2 randomized-controlled clinical trial of PRGN-2009 in combination with pembrolizumab to treat patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer is ongoing pursuant to a CRADA. As part of the strategic prioritization of our pipeline announced in August 2024, we plan to enroll patients in the PRGN-2009 clinical trials only at NCI under a CRADA.

PRGN-3006 is an investigational autologous CAR-T therapy that utilizes our UltraCAR-T platform to express a CAR to target CD33 (Siglec-3), mbIL15 and a kill switch gene. PRGN-3006 is in a Phase 1/1b clinical trial for the treatment of relapsed or refractory, or r/r, acute myeloid leukemia, or AML, and high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes, or MDS. PRGN-3006 has been granted Fast Track designation in patients with r/r AML by the FDA. Previously PRGN-3006 was granted Orphan Drug Designation in patients with AML by the FDA. We have completed the Phase 1 dose escalation trial. We have completed enrollment of the Phase 1b trial for PRGN-3006 in AML. We plan to focus on strategic partnership opportunities to advance PRGN-3006 UltraCAR-T program in AML. PRGN-3006 has been granted Orphan Drug designation in patients with AML and Fast Track Designation in patients with r/r AML by the FDA.

PRGN-3005 is an investigational autologous CAR-T therapy that utilizes our UltraCAR-T platform to simultaneously express a CAR targeting the unshed portion of the Mucin 16 antigen, mbIL15, and kill switch genes. PRGN-3005 is in a Phase 1/1b clinical trial for the treatment of advanced, recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. We have completed the Phase 1 dose escalation portion of the PRGN-3005 Phase 1/1b study. As part of the strategic prioritization of our pipeline announced in August 2024, we have paused enrollment in the Phase 1b clinical trial of PRGN-3005.

PRGN-3007 is an investigational autologous CAR-T therapy that utilizes the next generation UltraCAR-T platform to express a CAR which targets ROR1, mbIL15, a kill switch, and a novel mechanism for the intrinsic blockade of the programmed death 1, or PD-1, gene expression. PRGN-3007 is in a Phase 1/1b clinical trial for patients with advanced receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1-positive, or ROR1+, hematological (Arm 1) and solid tumors (Arm 2). The target patient population for Arm 1 includes relapsed or refractory CLL, relapsed or refractory MCL, relapsed or refractory B-ALL, and relapsed or refractory DLBCL. The target patient population for Arm 2 includes locally advanced unresectable or metastatic histologically confirmed TNBC. The study is designed to enroll in two parts: an initial 3+3 dose escalation in each arm followed by a dose expansion at the maximum tolerated dose. As part of the strategic prioritization of our pipeline announced in August 2024, we have paused enrollment in the Phase 1 clinical trial of PRGN-3007.

Precigen ActoBio, Inc.

ActoBio has developed a proprietary class of microbe-based biopharmaceuticals that enable expression and local delivery of disease-modifying therapeutics. We refer to these microbe-based biopharmaceuticals as ActoBiotics. ActoBio’s lead asset is AG019, a disease modifying antigen-specific, investigational immunotherapy for the prevention, delay, or reversal of type 1 diabetes mellitus, or T1D. We have completed a Phase 1b/2a clinical trial of AG019 for the treatment of early-onset T1D. As part of our strategic prioritization, we have completed the shutdown of our ActoBio subsidiary operations, including the elimination of all ActoBio personnel. In conjunction with this shutdown, ActoBio's portfolio of intellectual property is available for prospective transactions.

Precigen Exemplar

Exemplar is committed to enabling the study of life-threatening human diseases through the development of MiniSwine Yucatan miniature pig research models and services. Historically, researchers have lacked animal models that faithfully represent human diseases. As a result, a sizeable barrier has blocked progress in the discovery of human disease mechanisms; novel diagnostics, procedures, devices, prevention strategies and therapeutics; and the ability to predict in humans the efficacy of those next-generation procedures, devices, and therapeutics. Exemplar's MiniSwine models are genetically engineered to exhibit a wide variety of human disease states, which provides a more accurate platform to test the efficacy of new medications and devices.

Financial overview

We have incurred significant losses since our inception. We anticipate that we may continue to incur significant losses in the foreseeable future, and we may never achieve or maintain profitability. Our historical collaboration and licensing revenues were generated under a business model from which we have gradually transitioned, and we do not expect to expend significant resources servicing our historical collaborations in the future. We may enter into strategic transactions for individual platforms or programs in the future from which we may generate new collaboration and licensing revenues. We continue to generate product and service revenues through our Exemplar subsidiary. Products currently in our clinical pipeline will require regulatory approval and/or commercial scale-up before they may commence significant product sales and operating profits.

As we continue our efforts to focus our business and generate additional capital, we may be willing to enter into transactions involving one or more of our operating segments and reporting units for which we have goodwill and intangible assets. These efforts could result in us identifying impairment indicators or recording impairment charges in future periods. In addition, market changes and changes in judgements, assumptions, and estimates that we have made in assessing the fair value of goodwill could cause us to consider some portion or all of certain assets to become impaired.

See further discussion regarding our ability to continue as a going concern below under the Liquidity and capital resources section of Item 2.

Sources of revenue

Currently, our primary revenues arise from Exemplar, which generates product and service revenues through the development and sale of genetically engineered miniature swine models. We recognize revenue when control of the promised product or service is transferred to the customer.

In future periods, our revenues will primarily depend on our ability to advance and create our own programs and the extent to which we bring products enabled by our technologies to market. Other than for collaboration revenues recognized upon cancellation or modification of an existing collaboration or for revenues generated pursuant to future strategic transactions for any of our existing platforms or programs, we expect our collaboration revenues will continue to be minimal or zero in the near term, although if any new collaboration agreements or strategic transactions are entered into, revenue could be positively impacted. Our revenues will also depend upon our ability to maintain or improve the volume and pricing of Exemplar's current product and service offerings. We anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially if, and as, we continue to advance the preclinical and clinical development of our existing product candidates and our research programs. We expect some period of time, and in most cases a significant period of time, could pass before commercialization of our various product candidates or before the achievement of contractual milestones and the realization of royalties on product candidates commercialized under our collaborations. Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to the timing, magnitude, and predictability of revenues, if any, to which we might be entitled.

We do not expect any revenues that we may generate to be significant enough to fund our operations in the near term.

Cost of products and services

Cost of products and services, all which are related to our Exemplar reporting segment, includes primarily labor and related costs, drugs and supplies, feed used in production, and facility charges, including rent and depreciation. Fluctuations in the price of livestock and feed have not had a significant impact on our operating margins and no derivative financial instruments are used to mitigate the price risk.

Research and development expenses

We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expenses consist primarily of:

• salaries and benefits, including stock-based compensation expense and severance benefits, for personnel in research and development functions;
• fees paid to consultants and contract research organizations who perform research on our behalf and under our direction;
• costs related to laboratory supplies used in our research and development efforts and acquiring, developing, and manufacturing preclinical study and clinical trial materials as well as potential commercial products;
• costs related to certain in-licensed technology rights or in-process research and development;
• amortization of patents and related technologies acquired in mergers and acquisitions; and
• facility-related expenses, which include direct depreciation costs and expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities and other operating costs.

Our research and development expenses primarily relate to either costs incurred to expand or otherwise improve our technologies or the costs incurred to develop our own products and services. Prior to August 2024, the Company was progressing preclinical and clinical programs that targeted urgent and intractable diseases in our core therapeutic areas of immuno-oncology, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases, including PRGN-3005, PRGN-3006, PRGN-3007, PRGN-2009, PRGN-2012 and AG019. As discussed above in the Overview, in August 2024, we announced a strategic prioritization of our clinical portfolio and streamlining of resources, to focus on potential commercialization of the PRGN-2012 AdenoVerse® gene therapy for the treatment of RRP. The Company's research and development activities also include the development of new and improved pig research models.

In addition to the strategic prioritization, the amount of research and development expenses may be impacted by, among other things, the number and nature of our own proprietary programs, the number and size of programs we may support on behalf of collaboration agreements, and the potential approval of the PRGN-2012 BLA by the FDA, as certain manufacturing costs will be recorded into inventory post approval.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative, or SG&A, expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs, including stock-based compensation expense and severance benefits, for employees in executive, operational (including commercialization), finance, information technology, legal, and corporate communications functions. Other significant SG&A expenses include rent and utilities, insurance, accounting, external commercialization costs, and legal services (including the cost of settling any claims and lawsuits), and expenses associated with obtaining and maintaining our intellectual property.

SG&A expenses may fluctuate in the future depending on the scaling of our corporate functions required to support our corporate initiatives, the strategic prioritization, the build-up of our commercialization efforts and the outcomes of legal claims and assessments against us.

Other income (expense), net

Other income and expense net, consists of changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities and interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments, which may fluctuate based on amounts invested and current interest rates.

Results of operations

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the three months ended March 31, 2024

The following table summarizes our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, together with the changes in those items in dollars and as a percentage:

(In thousands)

Product, service and other revenues

Product, service and other revenues increased $0.3 million, or 26%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was primarily related to increased volume of products sold and services rendered at Exemplar.

Cost of product and services

Cost of product and services slightly increased, primarily as a result of higher revenues at Exemplar.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses decreased by $3.8 million, or 27%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a $1.8 million decrease in costs associated with ActoBio, including depreciation, amortization, personnel and other operating costs after the Company closed ActoBio operations in late 2024. Additionally, there was a decrease of $1.2 million incurred at contract research organizations and an $0.8 million decrease due to a reduction in the number of Research and Development employees as a result of the Company's asset prioritization announced in the third quarter of 2024.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

SG&A expenses increased by $2.2 million, or 22%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was primarily associated with PRGN-2012 commercial readiness. This increase was partially offset by a reduction in insurance rates and license and patent fees compared to the prior year period.

Total other income (expense), net

Total other income (expense), net changed from income of $0.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 to expenses of $31.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. This change was primarily driven by the recording of a $32.5 million increase in the fair value of warrant liabilities, which was influenced by an increase in the stock price of Precigen and to a lesser extent, an increase in the liability to account for the additional warrants that will be issued as part of the paid-in-kind dividends related to the Company's Series A Preferred Stock. This decrease was partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in interest income resulting from increased investments balances.

Liquidity and capital resources

Sources of liquidity

We have incurred losses from continuing operations since our inception, and as of March 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $2.1 billion. From our inception through March 31, 2025, we have funded our operations principally with proceeds received from private and public equity and debt offerings, cash received from our collaborators, and through product and service sales made directly to customers. As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $6.1 million and investments of $74.9 million. Cash in excess of immediate requirements is typically invested primarily in money market funds, certificate of deposits and U.S. government debt securities in order to maintain liquidity and preserve capital.

In August 2024, we closed a public offering of 39,878,939 shares of our common stock, resulting in net proceeds to us of $30.9 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, fees, and an estimate of other offering expenses.

In December 2024, we issued 79,000 shares of 8.00% Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock with an initial liquidation preference and stated value of $1,000 per share, together with warrants to purchase 52,666,669 shares of common stock for net proceeds of approximately $78,463, after deducting offering expenses, which expenses had not been paid as of March 31, 2025.

Cash flows

The following table sets forth the significant sources and uses of cash for the periods set forth below:

(In thousands)

Cash flows from operating activities:

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, our net loss was $54.2 million, which includes the following significant noncash expenses and benefits totaling $35.6 million: (i) $32.5 million of unrealized appreciation in the fair value of warrant liabilities, (ii) $2.7 million of stock-based compensation expense, (iii) $0.6 million of depreciation and amortization expense, and (iv) $0.5 million of shares issued as payment for services, partially offset by non-cash benefits of $0.7 million due to amortization of discounts on investments. In addition, changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $2.2 million of cash for operating activities.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, our net loss was $23.7 million, which includes the following significant noncash expenses and benefits totaling $4.3 million: (i) $2.6 million of stock-based compensation expense, (ii) $1.6 million of depreciation and amortization expense and (iii) $0.5 million of shares issued as payment for services, offset by non-cash benefits of $0.4 million due to amortization of discounts on investments.

Cash flows from investing activities:

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we received $5.8 million of investments, from sales and maturities, net of purchases, and purchased $0.6 million of property, plant and equipment, primarily related to the build-out of our manufacturing facility.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we received $28.4 million of investments, from sales and maturities, net of purchases, and purchased $4.4 million of property, plant and equipment.

Cash flows from financing activities:

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we paid $0.4 million in issuance costs related to a prior year equity issuance, paid $0.5 million to taxing authorities related to vesting of performance stock units, and received $0.2 million from the exercise of stock options. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we did not have any cash inflows or outflows from financing activities.

Future capital requirements

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

• progress in our research and development programs, as well as the magnitude and speed of development of these programs;
• capital expenditures to building out our manufacturing capabilities;
• the speed and scale of building our commercial operations as we prepare for commercial readiness:
• the timing of regulatory approval of our product candidates and those of our collaborations;
• the timing, receipt, and amount of any payments received in connection with strategic transactions;
• the timing, receipt, and amount of upfront, milestone, and other payments, if any, from present and future collaborators, if any;
• the timing, receipt, and amount of sales and royalties, if any, from our product candidates;
• the timing and capital requirements to scale up our various product candidates and service offerings and customer acceptance thereof;
• our ability to maintain and establish new collaborative arrangements and/or new strategic initiatives;
• the resources, time, and cost required for the preparation, filing, prosecution, maintenance, and enforcement of our intellectual property portfolio;
• strategic mergers and acquisitions, if any, including both the upfront acquisition cost as well as the cost to integrate, maintain, and expand the strategic target; and
• the costs associated with legal activities, including litigation, arising in the course of our business activities and our ability to prevail in any such legal disputes.

Until such time, if ever, as we can regularly generate positive operating cash flows, we plan to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity offerings, debt or royalty monetization financings, government, or other third-party funding, strategic alliances, sales of assets, and licensing arrangements. We may not be able to raise sufficient additional funds on terms that are favorable to us, if at all. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interests of our common shareholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common shareholders. Our current stock price may make it more difficult to pursue equity financings and lead to substantial dilution if the price of our common stock does not increase. Debt 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 additional funds through strategic transactions, collaborations, or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs, or product candidates, or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.

We are subject to a number of risks similar to those of other companies conducting high-risk, early-stage research and development of product candidates. Principal among these risks are dependence on key individuals and intellectual property, competition from other products and companies, and the technical risks associated with the successful research, development, and clinical manufacturing of its product candidates. Our success is dependent upon our ability to continue to raise additional capital in order to fund ongoing research and development, obtain regulatory approval of our products, successfully commercialize our products, generate revenue, meet our obligations, and, ultimately, attain profitable operations.

Our consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2025 have been prepared on the basis that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

Based on current projections, management believes that its existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, combined with anticipated potential revenue from the commercialization of PRGN-2012, which is outside of our direct control, will enable us to continue our operations for at least one year from the date of this filing. These assumptions include the receipt of future payments that are dependent upon the successful FDA approval of the PRGN-2012 BLA, and therefore revenue from this product is uncertain at this time. Based on this factor, we do not know when, or if, we will generate sufficient revenue from commercialization to offset our operating expenses. We are subject to all of the risks inherent in the development of new products, and we may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors that may adversely affect our business. In addition, because our forecasted potential revenues are currently outside of our direct control, they have not been included in our going concern analysis. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for at least 12 months after the issuance of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the successful execution of management’s plans, which include the successful commercialization of PRGN-2012. In addition, we may decide, or be required to raise additional capital. This additional capital could be raised through a combination of non-dilutive financings (including debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances, monetization of non-core assets, marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements), dilutive financings (including equity and/or debt financings with an equity component) and, ultimately from revenue related to product sales, to the extent our product candidates receive marketing approval and can be commercialized. There can be no assurance that new financings or other transactions will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, or at all, and such financings may adversely affect the holdings or rights of our stockholders and may cause significant dilution to existing stockholders. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

See the section entitled "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report for additional risks associated with our substantial capital requirements.

Contractual obligations and commitments

The following table summarizes our significant contractual obligations and commitments from continuing operations as of March 31, 2025 and the effects such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods:

(In thousands)

In addition to the obligations in the table above, as of March 31, 2025, we are party to license agreements with various third parties that contain future milestones and royalty payment obligations related to development milestones and/or commercial sales of products that incorporate or use their technologies. Because these agreements are generally subject to termination by us or are dependent on certain condition precedents within our control, no amounts are included in the tables above. As of March 31, 2025, we also had research and development commitments with third parties totaling $4.9 million that had not yet been incurred.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC rules.

Critical accounting policies and estimates

Our management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. 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. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies from those described in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in our Annual Report.

Recent accounting pronouncements

For information with respect to recent accounting pronouncements and the impact of these pronouncements on our condensed consolidated financial statements, see "Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) - Note 2" appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

The following sections provide quantitative information on our exposure to interest rate risk. We make use of sensitivity analyses that are inherently limited in estimating actual losses in fair value that can occur from changes in market conditions.

Interest rate risk

We had cash, cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments of $81.0 million and $97.9 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Our cash and cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments consist of cash, money market funds, U.S. government debt securities, certificates of deposit, and corporate bonds. The primary objectives of our investment activities are to preserve principal, maintain liquidity, and maximize income without significantly increasing risk. Our cash and cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments may be subject to market risk due to changes in prevailing interest rates that may cause the fair values of our investments to fluctuate. We believe that a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would not materially affect the fair value of our interest-sensitive financial instruments and any such losses would only be realized if we sold the investments prior to maturity.

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), we carried out an evaluation, under supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), who is our principal executive officer, and our Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), who is our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that 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 our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2025, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

As disclosed in "Summary of Risk Factors" and "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report, there are a number of risks and uncertainties that may have a material effect on the operating results of our business and our financial condition. There are no additional material updates or changes to our risk factors since the filing of our Annual Report.

In evaluating our risks, readers also should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or operating results, in addition to the other information set forth in this report and in our other filings with the SEC.
