[10-Q] Vicarious Surgical Inc. Quarterly Earnings Report
Vicarious Surgical Inc. remains pre-revenue and reported a six-month net loss of $28.6 million and a three-month net loss of $13.2 million. Total assets declined to $40.9 million from $67.7 million, driven by lower cash and short-term investments. Cash and cash equivalents were $3.9 million and short-term investments were $20.1 million, totaling $23.96 million at June 30, 2025.
Management disclosed that these funds are insufficient to support operations for the next 12 months, raising substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern and requiring pursuit of additional equity or debt financing. The company reduced operating expenses year-over-year (R&D, G&A and S&M), improving loss from operations by ~13% for the six-month comparison. The NYSE notified the company of non-compliance with market capitalization standards but accepted the company’s cure plan for the specified review period. A CEO appointment was announced as a subsequent event.
Vicarious Surgical Inc. rimane priva di ricavi e ha riportato una perdita netta sui sei mesi di $28,6 milioni e una perdita netta trimestrale di $13,2 milioni. Le attività totali sono diminuite a $40,9 milioni da $67,7 milioni, principalmente a causa della riduzione di liquidità e investimenti a breve termine. La liquidità e gli equivalenti di cassa erano $3,9 milioni e gli investimenti a breve termine $20,1 milioni, per un totale di $23,96 milioni al 30 giugno 2025.
La direzione ha dichiarato che questi fondi sono insufficienti per sostenere le operazioni nei prossimi 12 mesi, sollevando seri dubbi sulla capacità della società di continuare come azienda in funzionamento e rendendo necessario reperire ulteriori finanziamenti tramite capitale proprio o indebitamento. La società ha ridotto le spese operative su base annua (R&D, G&A e S&M), migliorando la perdita operativa di circa il 13% nel confronto semestrale. Il NYSE ha notificato la non conformità agli standard di capitalizzazione di mercato ma ha accettato il piano di rimedio presentato per il periodo di revisione specificato. Come evento successivo è stata annunciata la nomina di un CEO.
Vicarious Surgical Inc. continúa sin ingresos y reportó una pérdida neta de seis meses de $28.6 millones y una pérdida neta trimestral de $13.2 millones. Los activos totales disminuyeron a $40.9 millones desde $67.7 millones, impulsado por menores saldos de efectivo e inversiones a corto plazo. El efectivo y equivalentes de efectivo fueron $3.9 millones y las inversiones a corto plazo $20.1 millones, sumando un total de $23.96 millones al 30 de junio de 2025.
La dirección reveló que estos fondos son insuficientes para sostener las operaciones durante los próximos 12 meses, lo que genera dudas sustanciales sobre la capacidad de la compañía para continuar como empresa en marcha y obliga a buscar financiamiento adicional mediante capital o deuda. La compañía redujo los gastos operativos interanuales (I&D, G&A y S&M), mejorando la pérdida operativa en aproximadamente un 13% en la comparación semestral. El NYSE notificó a la compañía la falta de cumplimiento con los estándares de capitalización de mercado, pero aceptó el plan de corrección para el periodo de revisión especificado. Como hecho posterior se anunció el nombramiento de un CEO.
Vicarious Surgical Inc.는 여전히 매출이 없으며 6개월 순손실이 $28.6 million, 3개월 순손실이 $13.2 million으로 보고되었습니다. 총자산은 현금 및 단기투자 감소로 $67.7 million에서 $40.9 million로 줄었습니다. 현금 및 현금성자산은 $3.9 million, 단기투자는 $20.1 million으로 2025년 6월 30일 기준 총액은 $23.96 million입니다.
경영진은 이 자금이 향후 12개월간 운영을 지원하기에 불충분하다고 밝혀 회사가 계속기업으로 존속할 수 있을지에 대한 중대한 의문을 제기했으며, 추가 지분 또는 부채 조달이 필요하다고 했습니다. 회사는 전년 대비 영업비용(R&D, G&A, S&M)을 삭감하여 반기 비교에서 영업손실을 약 13% 개선했습니다. NYSE는 시가총액 기준 미충족을 통보했으나 지정된 심사기간에 대한 회사의 시정계획을 수용했습니다. 이후 사건으로 CEO 선임이 발표되었습니다.
Vicarious Surgical Inc. demeure sans revenus et a affiché une perte nette sur six mois de 28,6 M$ et une perte nette trimestrielle de 13,2 M$. L'actif total a diminué à 40,9 M$ contre 67,7 M$, principalement en raison d'une baisse des liquidités et des placements à court terme. Les liquidités et équivalents de trésorerie s'élevaient à 3,9 M$ et les placements à court terme à 20,1 M$, soit un total de 23,96 M$ au 30 juin 2025.
La direction a indiqué que ces fonds sont insuffisants pour soutenir les activités au cours des 12 prochains mois, soulevant un doute significatif quant à la capacité de la société à poursuivre son activité et nécessitant la recherche de financements supplémentaires en capital ou en dette. La société a réduit ses dépenses opérationnelles d'une année sur l'autre (R&D, G&A et S&M), améliorant la perte d'exploitation d'environ 13 % sur la comparaison semestrielle.

La nomination d'un PDG a été annoncée en tant qu'événement postérieur.
Vicarious Surgical Inc. bleibt umsatzlos und meldete einen Nettoverlust für sechs Monate von $28,6 Millionen sowie einen Dreimonatsverlust von $13,2 Millionen. Die Gesamtaktiva sanken von $67,7 Millionen auf $40,9 Millionen, bedingt durch geringere Barbestände und kurzfristige Anlagen. Zahlungsmittel und Zahlungsmitteläquivalente beliefen sich auf $3,9 Millionen und kurzfristige Anlagen auf $20,1 Millionen, insgesamt $23,96 Millionen zum 30. Juni 2025.
Das Management gab an, dass diese Mittel nicht ausreichen, um die Geschäftstätigkeit in den nächsten 12 Monaten zu finanzieren, was erhebliche Zweifel an der Fortführungsfähigkeit des Unternehmens aufwirft und die Beschaffung zusätzlicher Eigen- oder Fremdfinanzierung erforderlich macht. Das Unternehmen senkte die operativen Aufwendungen im Jahresvergleich (F&E, G&A und S&M) und verbesserte damit den Betriebsverlust im sechsmonatigen Vergleich um rund 13 %. Die NYSE wies auf die Nichteinhaltung der Marktkapitalisierungsstandards hin, akzeptierte jedoch den Sanierungsplan für den angegebenen Prüfungszeitraum. Als nachträgliches Ereignis wurde die Ernennung eines CEO bekanntgegeben.
- NYSE accepted the company's cure plan to regain compliance with minimum market capitalization standards, allowing continued listing during the cure period.
- Operating expense reductions led to a ~13% improvement in loss from operations year-over-year for the six-month period.
- Board-level action and new CEO appointment were completed as subsequent events, showing active governance response to challenges.
- Going concern disclosed: management states $23.96M of cash and short-term investments at June 30, 2025 are insufficient to support operations for the next 12 months, raising substantial doubt.
- Pre-revenue company with significant losses: six-month net loss of $28.6M and accumulated deficit of $224.5M.
- Material decline in liquidity and assets: total assets fell to $40.9M from $67.7M, and short-term investments decreased from $39.4M to $20.1M.
- Reliance on external financing: the company explicitly states it must raise additional equity or debt and there is no assurance financing will be available on acceptable terms.
Insights
TL;DR: Material liquidity shortfall and continued cash burn make near-term financing the primary risk to the equity.
The company's six-month net loss of $28.6M, combined with cash and short-term investments of $23.96M, is explicitly stated as insufficient to fund operations for the next 12 months, creating substantial doubt about going concern. Operating expense reductions drove a 13% improvement in loss from operations versus the prior year period, but the business remains pre-revenue and capital-dependent. Short-term investments declined from $39.4M to $20.1M, and total assets fell by $26.8M. Investor focus should be on the company’s ability to execute its financing discussions and the NYSE cure plan that preserves its listing during the remedy period.
TL;DR: Governance actions are active: NYSE cure plan accepted and new CEO appointment — important but do not eliminate liquidity risk.
The NYSE accepted Vicarious Surgical’s plan to regain compliance with listing standards, allowing continued trading during the cure period; this is a positive procedural outcome. The Board expanded and appointed a new CEO (employment and option award disclosed as a subsequent event), indicating governance intervention to address operational and strategic needs. However, these governance moves are remedial responses to declining equity and constrained liquidity; they do not, by themselves, resolve the explicit going-concern financing gap described by management.

2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described in this note and elsewhere in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes.
Reverse Stock Split
On June 12, 2024, the Company effected a
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods presented. Estimates are used for, but are not limited to, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, fair value of financial instruments, and contingencies. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
US GAAP requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs for the valuation techniques. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. The most observable inputs are used, when available. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:
Level 1—Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.
Level 2—Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived from, or corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3—Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of checking accounts, money market funds, U.S. treasury securities and U.S. government agency securities. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
6
Restricted Cash
The Company has an agreement to maintain a cash balance
of $
Short-Term Investments
All of the Company’s investments, which consist of
U.S. treasury securities and U.S. government agency securities, are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value. There
were unrealized losses of $
Concentrations of Credit Risk and Off-Balance-Sheet Risk
The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet risk, such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts, or other foreign hedging arrangements. Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents principally with accredited financial institutions of high-credit standing. Periodically, there may be times when the deposits exceed the FDIC insurance limits.
Warrant Liabilities
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge its exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. Management evaluates all of the Company’s financial instruments, including issued warrants to purchase its Class A common stock, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815-15. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.
As part of the Business Combination, the Company assumed
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or disposed of, the assets and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is included in the determination of net loss. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company continually evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate that the estimated remaining useful life of its long-lived assets may warrant revision or that the carrying value of these assets may be impaired. The Company does not believe that any events have occurred through June 30, 2025, that would indicate its long-lived assets are impaired.
7
Guarantees and Indemnifications
As permitted under Delaware law, the Company indemnifies its officers, directors, consultants and employees for certain events or occurrences that happen by reason of the relationship with, or position held at, the Company. Through June 30, 2025, the Company had not experienced any losses related to these indemnification obligations, and no claims were outstanding. The Company does not expect significant claims related to these indemnification obligations and, consequently, concluded that the fair value of these obligations is negligible, and no related liabilities have been established.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed in the period incurred. Research and development costs include payroll and personnel expenses, consulting costs, software and web services, legal, raw materials and allocated overhead such as depreciation and amortization, rent and utilities. Advance payments for goods and services to be used in future research and development activities are recorded as prepaid expenses and are expensed over the service period as the services are provided or when the goods are consumed.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for all stock-based compensation, including stock options, performance-based stock options (“PSOs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance-based RSUs (“PSUs”), warrants and other forms of equity issued as compensation for services, at fair value and recognizes stock-based compensation expense for those equity awards, net of actual forfeitures, over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award.
The fair value of the Company’s stock options and PSOs on the date of grant is determined by a Black-Scholes option pricing model utilizing key assumptions such as stock price, expected volatility and expected term. The Company’s estimates of these assumptions are primarily based on the fair value of the Company’s stock, historical data, and judgment regarding future trends. The Company uses its publicly traded stock price as the fair value of its common stock.
The fair value of RSUs and PSUs are based on the closing stock price on the grant date.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method pursuant to ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that management believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized in the future. In making such a determination, management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations.
The Company provides reserves for potential payments of
taxes to various tax authorities related to uncertain tax positions. Amounts recognized are based on a determination of whether a tax
benefit taken by the Company in its tax filings or positions is “more likely than not” to be sustained on audit. The amount
recognized is equal to the largest amount that is more than
8
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, including potential dilutive common stock. For the purpose of this calculation, outstanding stock options, PSOs, RSUs, PSUs and stock warrants are considered potential dilutive common stock and are excluded from the computation of net loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive.
Accordingly, in periods in which the Company reports a net loss, such losses are not allocated to such participating securities. In periods in which the Company reports a net loss attributable to common stockholders, diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, since dilutive common shares are not assumed to be outstanding when their effect is anti-dilutive.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”). Pursuant to the JOBS Act, an emerging growth company is provided the option to adopt new or revised accounting standards that may be issued by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or the SEC either (i) within the same periods as those otherwise applicable to non-emerging growth companies or (ii) within the same time periods as private companies. The Company currently takes advantage of the exemption for complying with new or revised accounting standards within the same time periods as private companies and intends to continue to do so as long as the Company qualifies as an emerging growth company. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different than the information disclosed by other public companies. The Company’s emerging growth company status will expire on December 31, 2025.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires enhanced income tax disclosures, including specific categories and disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation, disaggregated information related to income taxes paid, income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit, and income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations. The requirements of the ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on its related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which is intended to improve disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses, primarily through additional disaggregation of income statement expenses. The requirements of the ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on its related disclosures.

3. | SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS |
Short-term investments consist of U.S. treasury and U.S. government agency securities and are classified as available-for-sale.
Available-for-sale investments are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. The fair values of the Company’s available-for-sale cash and cash equivalents securities are Level 1 measurements, based on quoted prices from active markets for identical assets. The fair values of our available-for-sale short-term investments securities are Level 2 measurements, based on quoted prices from inactive markets for identical assets.
The amortized cost, gross unrealized holding gains, gross unrealized holding losses and fair value of the Company’s marketable securities by type of security as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows:

Money market funds are classified as cash and cash equivalents. U.S. treasury securities are classified as cash equivalents when the date from initial purchase to maturity is less than 90 days. The remaining investments are classified as short-term investments.
The carrying values of prepaid expenses, right of use assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The fair values of the Company’s short-term investments are Level 2 measurements as the US government securities are not the most recent offerings and are therefore not traded in an active market.

The fair value of the Public Warrants was determined from their trading value on public markets. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions used in the model were the Company’s stock price, exercise price, expected term, volatility, interest rate, and dividend yield.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized
a gain to the statement of operations resulting from a decrease in the fair value of liabilities of $
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized
a gain to the statement of operations resulting from a decrease in the fair value of liabilities of $
The Company estimates the volatility of its warrants based on implied volatility from the Company’s Public Warrants and from historical volatility of select peer companies’ common stock that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero.
The following table provides quantitative information regarding the inputs used in determining the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 liabilities:

From time to time, the Company may face legal claims or actions in the normal course of business. At each reporting date, the Company evaluates whether a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under the provisions of the authoritative guidance that addresses accounting for contingencies. The Company expenses as incurred the costs related to its legal proceedings.

For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company did not record a tax provision as the Company did not earn any taxable income in either period and maintains a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets.
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. government enacted The One Beautiful Bill Act of 2025, (known as the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act or "OBBBA") which makes permanent many of the tax provisions enacted in 2017 as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that were set to expire at the end of 2025. In addition, the OBBBA makes changes to certain U.S. corporate tax provisions, but many are generally not effective until 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new legislation but does not expect it to have a material impact on the results of operations.

of Class A common stock to certain employees and members of the Board of Directors. The RSUs vest over a four-year period. PSUs are issued
in the form of performance share units. PSUs include threshold, target, and maximum achievement levels based on the achievement of specific
performance measures. PSUs are subject to forfeiture if applicable performance measures are not attained. The expense is recognized over
the vesting period, based on the best available estimate of the number of share units expected to vest. Estimates are subsequently revised
if there is any indication that the number of share units expected to vest differs from previous estimates. Any cumulative adjustment
prior to vesting is recognized in the current period. In July 2023,

The Company grants stock options to employees at exercise prices deemed by the Board of Directors to be equal to the fair value of the Class A common stock at the time of grant. For options with a service condition, the fair value of the Company’s stock options on the date of grant is determined by a Black-Scholes pricing model utilizing key assumptions such as common stock price, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, expected volatility and expected life. The Company’s estimates of these assumptions are primarily based on the fair value of the Company’s stock, historical data and judgement regarding future trends. The Company uses its publicly traded stock price as the fair value of its common stock.

The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the term of the related stock options. The expected life of employee and non-employee stock options was calculated using the average of the contractual term of the option and the weighted-average vesting period of the option, as the Company does not have sufficient history to use an alternative method to calculate an expected life for employees. The Company does not pay a dividend and is not expected to pay a dividend in the foreseeable future.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 17, 2025, and our other public reports filed with the SEC. This discussion contains forward looking statements and involves numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those described in the “Risk Factors” section in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “we”, “us”, “our”, and “the Company” are intended to mean the business and operations of Vicarious Surgical Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, present the financial position and results of operations of Vicarious Surgical Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. In preparing this MD&A, we presume that readers have access to and have read the MD&A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, pursuant to Instruction 2 to paragraph (b) of Item 303 of Regulation S-K.
Overview
We are combining advanced miniaturized robotics, computer science, sensing and 3D visualization to build a new category of intelligent and affordable, single-port surgical robot that virtually transports surgeons inside the patient to perform minimally invasive surgery. With our next-generation robotics technology that is being designed with proprietary human-like motion, we are seeking to improve patient outcomes, as well as the cost and efficacy of surgical procedures. Led by a visionary team of engineers from MIT, we intend to deliver the next generation in robotic surgery, designed to solve the shortcomings of both open surgery, as well as current manual and robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery.
We estimate there are over 45 million soft tissue surgical procedures (including an estimated 3.9 million ventral hernia procedures), addressable annually worldwide by our technology. Of these procedures, it is estimated that more than 50% are performed using open surgery, and less than 5% are performed by current robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery.
We believe this slow adoption of robot-assisted surgery has occurred because of several factors, including the following:
● | Significant Capital Investment. Legacy robotic systems require high upfront acquisition costs and burdensome annual service contracts that are often prohibitively expensive, especially in outpatient settings. Based on discussion with industry sources, we estimate these capital costs to be up to $2.0 million or more per system upfront, plus an additional 10% to 20% annually for maintenance and service contracts. |
● | Low Utilization. In addition to the significant acquisition costs, existing robotic systems create inefficiencies and increase costs to medical facilities considering adoption. Due to their large size and limited portability, existing robotic systems require the construction of a dedicated operating room, occupying valuable real estate within the hospital. Once in place, these robotic systems require extensive set-up and operating room turnover times, which limits the number of procedures that can be performed with the robotic system. |
● | Limited Capabilities. Existing robotic systems have limited capabilities and are ill-suited for many outpatient procedures. Due to their limited degrees of freedom inside the abdomen, they depend on significant, complicated, robotic motion outside the body, and they have limited ability to operate in multiple quadrants, difficulty operating on the “ceiling” of the abdomen, create collisions inside and outside of the patient’s abdomen, and restrict overall access of the operating team to the patient. |
● | Difficult to Use. Existing robotic systems require the surgeon to develop an extensive procedure plan in advance to determine appropriate incision sites and angles for each procedure, in order to avoid collisions inside and outside of the patient’s abdomen. Surgeons must develop this plan with fewer degrees of freedom than they would employ using open surgery, restricting their natural movements. Becoming proficient at manipulating these legacy robotic systems to perform the procedures they otherwise were trained to perform via open surgery requires extensive training and several dozen procedures on live patients. As these systems are maintained in dedicated, expensive, operating rooms, obtaining access to train on the system becomes a significant impediment to adoption, resulting in more open surgeries. |
21
The single-port Vicarious Surgical System with advanced, miniaturized robotics and exceptional visualization is designed to address the significant limitations of open surgery and existing single- and multi-port robotic surgical approaches to improve patient outcomes and enhance adoption by hospitals and other medical facilities. The Vicarious Surgical System is designed with a fundamentally different architecture, and proprietary “de-coupled actuators,” to overcome many of the limitations of open surgery or existing robot-assisted surgical procedures with a minimally invasive and more capable robotic system. This architecture enables unprecedented dexterity inside the abdomen through an ultra-thin support tube, providing significant improvement over existing legacy robotic systems and minimizing the complications and trauma associated with open surgery. The Vicarious Surgical System has not yet been authorized by the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”). We have had pre-submission meetings with the FDA to align on our regulatory strategy and plan to file a de novo application with the FDA for use in ventral hernia procedures as our first indication.
The dollar amounts set forth in this section are presented in thousands, except for per share amounts.
Recent Developments
Compliance with NYSE Continued Listing Requirements
As previously reported, on April 10, 2025, we received a notice (“the Notice”) from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) indicating we were no longer in compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing standards set forth in Section 802.01B of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual (the “Minimum Market Capitalization Standard”) due to the fact that our average global market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading-day period was less than $50 million and, at the same time, our stockholders’ equity was less than $50 million, so that we no longer met the NYSE’s continued listing criterion. On May 27, 2025, we submitted our plan to the NYSE advising it of the definitive action(s) we have taken, are taking, or plan to take that would bring us into conformity with the Minimum Market Capitalization Standard within 18 months of receipt of the Notice (the “Cure Period”). On July 8, 2025, the NYSE notified us that it has accepted our plan to come into conformity with the relevant listing standards within the Cure Period. The NYSE will review us on a quarterly basis during the Cure Period to confirm compliance with the plan.
The Notice and plan have no immediate impact on the listing of our Class A common stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE during the Cure Period, subject to our continued compliance with the plan and NYSE’s other continued listing standards.
Financial Highlights
We are pre-revenue generating as of June 30, 2025.
We incurred net losses of $28,609 and $32,206 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. These losses include losses of $53 and $277 related to the change in valuation of our warrant obligations for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. Our loss from operations prior to the warrant loss and other income and expense items was $29,266 and $33,822 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively, representing a period-over-period gain of 13%, which was primarily due to decreases of $2,542 in personnel-related expenses and $2,900 in professional services and partially offset by an increase of $1,094 in supplies and materials. The decrease in personnel-related expense was due primarily to a decrease in average headcount of 6%, from an average of 129 people in the six months ended June 30, 2024 to an average of 121 people for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
22
Factors Affecting Results of Operations
The following factors have been important to our business and we expect them to impact our results of operations and financial condition in future periods:
Revenue
To date, we have not generated any revenue. We do not expect to generate revenue unless and until we receive FDA authorization of our product candidate. The amount of revenue, if any, from initial sales of a new product is difficult to predict and, even if we successfully commercialize our product candidate upon approval and begin generating revenue, such revenues will initially only modestly reduce our continued net losses resulting from our research and development and marketing activities which we expect to continue to increase even after market authorization is received.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses consist primarily of engineering, product development, regulatory expenses, medical affairs, and other costs associated with product candidates and technologies that are in development. These expenses include employee compensation, including stock-based compensation, supplies, consulting, prototyping, testing, materials, travel expenses, depreciation and an allocation of facility overhead expenses. Additionally, R&D expenses include internal and external costs associated with our regulatory compliance and quality assurance functions and overhead costs. We expect R&D expenses to vary over time depending on the level and timing of our new product development efforts, as well as our clinical development, clinical trial and other related activities.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses consist primarily of compensation for personnel, including stock-based compensation, related to executive, finance and accounting, information technology and human resource functions. Other G&A expenses include travel expenses, professional services fees (including legal, audit and tax fees), insurance costs, general corporate expenses and allocated facilities-related expenses. We expect G&A expenses to continue to increase in absolute dollars as we expand our infrastructure to both drive and support the anticipated growth due to additional legal, accounting, insurance and other expenses associated with being a public company.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing (“S&M”) expenses consist primarily of compensation for personnel, including stock-based compensation, related to selling and marketing functions and physician education programs. Other S&M expenses include training, travel expenses, promotional activities, marketing initiatives, market research and analysis, conferences and trade shows, professional services fees and allocated facilities-related expenses. We expect S&M expenses to continue to increase in absolute dollars as we increase potential customers’ awareness of our presence and prepare our sales and marketing function for our product launch at a future, yet undetermined date.
Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liabilities
The change in fair value of warrant liability represents the mark-to-market fair value adjustments to the outstanding Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants assumed as part of the consummation of the Business Combination on September 17, 2021. The change in fair value of our Private Placement Warrants is primarily the result of the change in the underlying stock price of our stock used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model while the Public Warrants are marked-to-market based on their price on the NYSE. The warrant liability was measured at fair value initially on September 17, 2021 and is remeasured at exercise, and for warrants that remain outstanding at the end of each subsequent reporting period.
Interest Income
Interest income consists primarily of interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments.

Comparison of the Three Months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024
Research and Development Expenses. R&D expenses decreased $1,874, or 17%, to $9,050 during the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $10,924 during the three months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to decreases of $3,038 in professional services and partially offset by increases of $799 in materials and supplies and $342 in personnel-related expenses.
Sales and Marketing Expenses. S&M expenses decreased $848, or 71%, to $349 during the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $1,197 during the three months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $834 in personnel-related expenses. The decrease in personnel-related expense was due primarily to a decrease in average headcount of 40%, from an average of 10 people in the three months ended June 30, 2024 to an average of 6 people in the three months ended June 30, 2025.
24
General and Administrative Expenses. G&A expenses decreased $1,472, or 26%, to $4,120 during the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $5,592 during the three months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to decreases of $1,215 in personnel-related expenses, $155 in professional services and $112 of insurance expense. The decrease in personnel-related expense was due primarily to a decrease in average headcount of 6%, from an average of 16 people in the three months ended June 30, 2024 to an average of 15 people in the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liabilities. The change in fair value of warrant liabilities during the three months ended June 30, 2025 was a $40 gain. The change in fair value of the warrant liability resulted from the remeasurement of the public and private placement warrant liabilities between March 31, 2025 and the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2025.
Interest and Other Income. Interest and other income decreased by $654, or 71%, to $264 during the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $918 during the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in interest income from short-term investments.
Income Taxes. Our income tax provision consists of an estimate for U.S. federal and state income taxes based on enacted rates, as adjusted for allowable credits, deductions, uncertain tax positions, changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities and changes in tax law. Due to historical cumulative losses and expected future losses, we maintain a full valuation allowance against our U.S. and state deferred tax assets.

Comparison of the Six Months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024
Research and Development Expenses. R&D expenses decreased $2,427, or 12%, to $18,465 during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $20,892 during the six months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $3,108 in professional services and partially offset by an increase of $1,088 in materials and supplies.
Sales and Marketing Expenses. S&M expenses decreased $948, or 41%, to $1,390 during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $2,338 during the six months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $982 in personnel-related expenses. The decrease in personnel-related expense was due primarily to an average headcount decrease of 40%, from an average of 10 people in the six months ended June 30, 2024 to an average of 6 people for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
General and Administrative Expenses. G&A expenses decreased $1,181, or 11%, to $9,411 during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $10,592 during the six months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $1,244 in personnel-related expenses. The decrease in personnel-related expense was due primarily to an average headcount decrease of 6%, from an average of 16 people in the six months ended June 30, 2024 to an average of 15 people for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liabilities. The change in fair value of warrant liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was a $53 loss. The change in fair value of the warrant liability resulted from the remeasurement of the public and private placement warrant liabilities between December 31, 2024 and the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2025.
Interest and Other Income. Interest and other income decreased by $1,183 to $710 during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $1,893 during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in interest income from short-term investments.
Income Taxes. Our income tax provision consists of an estimate for U.S. federal and state income taxes based on enacted rates, as adjusted for allowable credits, deductions, uncertain tax positions, changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities and changes in tax law. Due to historical cumulative losses and expected future losses, we maintain a full valuation allowance against our U.S. and state deferred tax assets.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
To date, our primary sources of capital have been private placements of preferred stock prior to the Business Combination, public and private sales of securities and the issuance of common stock. Net cash used in our operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024 was $25,300 and $25,479, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, we held cash and cash equivalents of $3,910, short-term investments of $20,053 and had an accumulated deficit of $224,544.
26
Excluding the non-cash impact of potential changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities, we expect net losses to continue in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we continue to invest in commercialization and new product development. Based on our current planned operations, we do not believe that our current cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balance of $23,963 as of June 30, 2025 will be sufficient to support our operations beyond the next 12 months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. We currently expect that our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient to support our operations into the first quarter of 2026. As such, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We may consider raising additional capital to expand our business, to pursue strategic investments, to take advantage of financing opportunities or for other reasons.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, any changes in the size, number and scope of clinical trials we may be required to conduct, the timing and conditions of market authorization (if any) for the Vicarious Surgical System, whether we are able to successfully commercialize the Vicarious Surgical System, if approved, additional product candidates we may choose to develop, fluctuations in the cost and timing of our business activities, including manufacturing, hiring and protection of our intellectual property portfolio, and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” sections in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 17, 2025, and in other filings that we make with the SEC from time to time.
We expect that we will need to obtain substantial additional funding in order to conduct and complete our clinical trials, obtain market authorization for the Vicarious Surgical System, and commercialize it, if approved. Until such time, if ever, as we can generate sufficient revenues to support our expenses, we may seek to sell additional common or preferred equity or convertible debt securities, enter into an additional credit facility or another form of third-party funding or seek other debt financing. The sale of equity and convertible debt securities may result in dilution to our stockholders. Preferred equity securities or convertible debt could provide for rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our common stock, including liquidation or other preferences that could adversely affect the rights of our existing stockholders. The terms of debt securities issued or borrowings pursuant to a credit agreement could impose significant restrictions on our operations. If we raise funds through collaborations and licensing arrangements, we might be required to relinquish significant rights to our platform technologies or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us, or that we would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves. Additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all, particularly given the current macroeconomic environment, including diminished liquidity and credit availability, declines in consumer confidence and economic growth, rising interest rates, inflation, uncertainty about economic stability and potential for economic recession. If the equity and credit markets deteriorate, it may make any necessary debt or equity financing more difficult to obtain, more costly and more dilutive. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we could be forced to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development, market authorization or commercialization of the Vicarious Surgical System or future product candidates, or seek collaborators at an earlier stage than otherwise would be desirable or on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available.
On October 7, 2022, we filed a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Form S-3”), which was declared effective by the SEC on October 27, 2022, on which we registered for sale up to $400 million of any combination of our Class A common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, rights and/or units from time to time and at prices and on terms that we may determine, which includes up to $100 million of Class A common stock that we may issue and sell from time to time, through Cowen and Company, LLC acting as our sales agent, pursuant to the sales agreement that we entered into with Cowen and Company, LLC on October 7, 2022 for our “at-the-market” equity program. In December 2022, we issued 3,048,781 shares of Class A common stock under our sales agreement with Cowen and Company, LLC, resulting in gross proceeds of $10.0 million. We did not sell any shares of our Class A common stock under our sales agreement with Cowen and Company, LLC during the six months ended June 30, 2025 or for the year ended December 31, 2024.
27
Cash
Our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments balance as of June 30, 2025 was $3,910 and $20,053, respectively. Our future capital requirements may vary from those currently planned and will depend on various factors, including the timing and extent of R&D spending and spending on other strategic business initiatives.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During the periods presented, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities, which were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. 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 as of the consolidated balance sheet date, as well as the reported expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
While our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to our historical condensed consolidated financial statements (see Note 2 of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements), we believe the following critical accounting policy requires significant judgment and estimates in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements:
Warrant Liabilities
We recognize our warrants as liabilities at fair value and adjust the warrant liability to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the statement of operations. The fair value of Public Warrants is determined from their trading value on public markets. The fair value of Private Placement Warrants is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions used in the model are our stock price, exercise price, expected term, volatility, interest rate, and dividend yield.
We estimate the volatility of our warrants based on implied volatility from our Public Warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which we anticipate remaining at zero.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
A description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that may potentially impact our financial position and results of operations is disclosed in Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements” in our condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Emerging Growth Company
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. Pursuant to the JOBS Act, an emerging growth company is provided the option to adopt new or revised accounting standards that may be issued by FASB or the SEC either (i) within the same periods as those otherwise applicable to non-emerging growth companies or (ii) within the same time periods as private companies. We intend to take advantage of the exemption for complying with new or revised accounting standards within the same time periods as private companies. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different than the information you receive from other public companies.
We also intend to take advantage of some of the reduced regulatory and reporting requirements of emerging growth companies pursuant to the JOBS Act so long as we qualify as an emerging growth company, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation, and exemptions from the requirements of holding non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation and golden parachute payments.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
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.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Background and Remediation of Material Weaknesses
In connection with our evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures covering our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. We have concluded that material weaknesses exist in our disclosure controls and procedures, including internal control over financial reporting, as we do not have the necessary business processes, personnel and related internal controls to operate in a manner to satisfy the accounting and financial reporting requirements of a public company. These material weaknesses manifested themselves in ways that included the improper segregation of duties relating to review of the recording of journal entries and the reconciliation of key accounts and safeguarding of assets, as well as the analysis of accounting for certain transactions and accounts, improper controls related to information technology, ineffective risk assessment process and documentation and monitoring of control processes, accounting policies and procedures.
We are focused on designing and implementing effective internal controls measures to improve our evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures, including internal control over financial reporting, and remediate the material weaknesses. In order to remediate these material weaknesses, we have taken and plan to take the following actions:
● | the hiring and continued hiring of additional accounting, finance and legal resources with public company experience; and |
● | implementation of additional review controls and processes requiring timely account reconciliation and analyses of certain transactions and accounts. |
These actions and planned actions are subject to ongoing evaluation by management and will require testing and validation of design and operating effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting over future periods. We are committed to the continuous improvement of our internal control over financial reporting and will continue to review the internal control over financial reporting.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of June 30, 2025 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Securities and Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports 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 or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of such internal control required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) under the Exchange Act that occurred during the three months 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
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, to our knowledge, we are not party to and our property is not subject to any material pending legal proceedings. However, from time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings or subject to claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business activities. Regardless of the outcome, such legal proceedings or claims could have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including the risk factors described under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 17, 2025, and the risk factor described below. We may disclose changes to risk factors or additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to satisfy the continued listing standards of the NYSE.
On April 10, 2025, we received a notice (“the Notice”) from the NYSE indicating we were no longer in compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing standards set forth in Section 802.01B of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual (the “Minimum Market Capitalization Standard”) due to the fact that our average global market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading-day period was less than $50 million and, at the same time, our stockholders’ equity was less than $50 million, and we therefore no longer met the NYSE’s continued listing criterion. As described in the Notice, as of April 9, 2025, our 30 trading-day average market capitalization was approximately $47.4 million and our last reported stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2024, was approximately $46.7 million.
On May 27, 2025, we submitted our plan to the NYSE advising it of the definitive action(s) we have taken, are taking, or plan to take that would bring us into conformity with the NYSE’s Minimum Market Capitalization Standard within the 18 months of receipt of the Notice (the “Cure Period”). On July 8, 2025, the NYSE notified us that it has accepted our plan to come into conformity with the relevant listing standards within the Cure Period. The NYSE will review us on a quarterly basis during the 18 months to confirm compliance with the plan.
If the NYSE delists our Class A common stock from trading on its exchange and we are not able to list such securities on another national securities exchange, we expect such securities could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, we and our stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences including:
● | A limited availability of market quotations for our Class A common stock; |
● | Reduced liquidity for our Class A common stock; |
● | A limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and |
● | A decreased ability to obtain additional financing in the future. |
