Insights
TL;DR – Solid loan growth and margin expansion; cash burn and higher reserves warrant monitoring.
Revenue more than tripled and EPS beat prior-year despite heavy share issuance, confirming strong asset deployment post spin-off. Equity raise and revolver upsizing give SUNS headroom to fund $109 M of commitments, yet the $179 M cash draw-down highlights the capital-intensive nature of the model. CECL reserve remains light at 25 bps, but the 15× jump signals rising credit normalization risk. Dividend coverage (87 %) is close; additional originations must materialize to sustain the $0.30 quarterly payout. Overall impact: positive growth story balanced by liquidity vigilance.
TL;DR – Balance-sheet transition lowers leverage but shrinks liquidity buffer.
Management rotated from cash to loans, improving earning assets to 97 % of total, while trimming revolver usage and eliminating affiliate debt – a governance win. However, cash now covers barely one quarter’s dividend. Portfolio concentration (6 borrowers = 85 % of Q2 interest) and Sunbelt geographic focus heighten idiosyncratic risk if CRE conditions soften. Fee waivers masked rising cost run-rate. Watch covenant headroom: liquidity covenant is $5 M vs $5.6 M cash at quarter-end – razor-thin. Overall impact: neutral to slightly negative.

We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations, estimates and assumptions and analyses in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. However, whether actual results and developments will conform with our expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, including, but not limited to:

Table of Contents
You should carefully read the factors discussed in the sections titled “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and the factors discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and in our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) for additional discussion of the risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors that could cause our actual results or developments to differ materially and adversely from those projected in the forward-looking statements. The actual results or developments anticipated may not be realized or, even if substantially realized, they may not have the expected consequences to or effects on us or our businesses or operations. Such statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results or developments may differ materially and adversely from those projected in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as required by law, we disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

REGENXBIO INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. Nature of Business
REGENXBIO Inc. (the Company) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company seeking to improve lives through the curative potential of gene therapy. The Company's investigational gene therapies use adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors from its proprietary gene delivery platform (NAV Technology Platform). The NAV® Technology Platform consists of exclusive rights to a large portfolio of proprietary AAV vectors. The Company has developed a broad pipeline of gene therapy product candidates using the NAV Technology Platform as a one-time treatment to address an array of diseases. In addition to its internal product development efforts, the Company also selectively licenses the NAV Technology Platform and other intellectual property rights to other leading biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies (NAV Technology Licensees). As of June 30, 2025, the NAV Technology Platform was being applied by NAV Technology Licensees in one commercial product, Zolgensma®, and in the preclinical and clinical development of a number of other licensed products. Additionally, the Company has licensed intellectual property rights to collaborators for the joint development and commercialization of certain product candidates. The Company was formed in 2008 in the State of Delaware and is headquartered in Rockville, Maryland.
Liquidity
The Company has incurred cumulative losses since inception and as of June 30, 2025, had generated an accumulated deficit of $
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on March 13, 2025. Certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP, which are normally included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements, have been omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations for interim reporting. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods presented.
The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year, any other interim periods, or any future year or period. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities for the periods presented. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other factors that it
8
Table of Contents
believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities, and other reported amounts, that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates. Estimates are used in the following areas, among others: revenue recognition, the allowance for credit losses, accrued research and development expenses and other accrued liabilities, stock-based compensation expense, interest expense under royalty monetization liabilities, income taxes and fair value measurements.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts reported in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current period financial statement presentation, including separate presentation of service revenue in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As a result of the Company's collaboration and license agreement with Nippon Shinyaku Co., Ltd. (Nippon Shinyaku) effective in March 2025, the Company has modified the presentation of its revenues and now presents service revenues separately from license and royalty revenues. The modified presentation has been applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. The reclassifications have no effect on previously reported financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash consists of deposits held at financial institutions that are used to collateralize irrevocable letters of credit required under the Company’s lease agreements and certain other agreements with third parties.

Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consist of consideration due to the Company resulting from its agreements with customers. Accounts receivable include amounts invoiced to customers as well as rights to consideration which have not yet been invoiced, including unbilled royalties and services, and for which payment is conditional solely upon the passage of time. If a licensee elects to terminate a license prior to the end of the license term, the licensed intellectual property is returned to the Company and any accounts receivable from the licensee which are not contractually payable to the Company are charged off as a reduction of revenue in the period of the termination. Accounts receivable which are not expected to be received by the Company within 12 months from the reporting date are stated net of a discount to present value and recorded as non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The present value discount is recognized as a reduction of revenue in the period in which the accounts receivable are initially recorded and is accreted as interest income from licensing over the term of the receivables.
Accounts receivable are stated net of an allowance for credit losses, if deemed necessary based on the Company’s evaluation of collectability and potential credit losses. Management assesses the collectability of its accounts receivable using the specific identification of account balances, and considers the credit quality and financial condition of its significant customers, historical information regarding credit losses and the Company’s evaluation of current and expected future economic conditions. If necessary, an allowance for credit losses is recorded against accounts receivable such that the carrying value of accounts receivable reflects the net amount expected to be collected. Accounts receivable balances are written off against the allowance for credit losses when the potential for collectability is considered remote. The Company did not record an allowance for credit losses on its accounts receivable as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company's long-lived assets consist primarily of property and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets. The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the book values of the assets to estimated future net undiscounted cash flows that the assets are expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the book value of the assets exceed their fair value, which is measured based on the projected discounted future net cash flows arising from the assets. Please refer to Note 5 and Note 6 for further information on impairment of long-lived assets.

Table of Contents
Fair Value Measurements
The Company is required to disclose information on all assets and liabilities reported at fair value that enables an assessment of the inputs used in determining the reported fair values. Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a hierarchy of inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy applies only to the valuation inputs used in determining the reported fair value of the investments and is not a measure of the investment credit quality. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for assets and liabilities categorized in Level 3. The level within the fair value hierarchy of an asset or liability measured at fair value is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair values of the Company’s Level 2 financial instruments are based on quoted market prices or broker or dealer quotations for similar assets. These investments are initially valued at the transaction price and subsequently valued utilizing third-party pricing providers or other market observable data. Please refer to Note 4 for further information on the Company's fair value measurements.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606). ASC 606 requires entities to recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are performed to determine the appropriate revenue recognition for arrangements within the scope of ASC 606: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies the performance obligations.
The Company applies the five-step model to contracts that are within the scope of ASC 606 only when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, for contracts within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to respective performance obligations when (or as) the respective performance obligations are satisfied.
The Company evaluates its contracts with customers for the presence of significant financing components. If a significant financing component is identified in a contract and provides a financing benefit to the customer, the transaction price for the contract is adjusted to account for the financing portion of the arrangement, which is recognized as interest income over the financing term using the effective interest method. In determining the appropriate interest rates for significant financing components, the Company evaluates the credit profile of the customer and prevailing market interest rates and selects an interest rate in which it believes would be charged to the customer in a separate financing arrangement over a similar financing term.
The Company licenses its NAV Technology Platform and other intellectual property rights to other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, including collaborators for the joint development and commercialization of its product candidates. The terms of the licenses vary, and licenses may be exclusive or non-exclusive and may be sublicensable by the licensee. Licenses may grant intellectual property rights for purposes of internal and preclinical research and development only, or may include the rights, or options to obtain future rights, to commercialize drug therapies for specific diseases using the Company’s NAV Technology Platform and other licensed rights. License agreements generally have a term at least equal to the life of the underlying patents, but are terminable at the option of the licensee. Consideration payable to the Company under its license and collaboration agreements may

Table of Contents
include: (i) up-front and annual fees, (ii) milestone payments based on the achievement of certain development and sales-based milestones, (iii) sublicense fees, (iv) royalties on sales of licensed products, (v) fees for services related to the development and manufacturing of licensed products and (vi) other consideration payable upon optional goods and services purchased by licensees and collaborators.
The Company evaluates its agreements with collaboration partners to determine whether they are within the scope of ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements (ASC 808). For collaboration arrangements within the scope of ASC 808 that contain multiple elements, the Company identifies the various transactions with the counterparty and determines if any unit of account is more reflective of a transaction with a customer and therefore should be accounted for within the scope of ASC 606. For transactions that are accounted for pursuant to ASC 808, an appropriate method of recognition and presentation is determined and consistently applied. For transactions that are accounted for pursuant to ASC 606, the Company applies the five-step model as described in its revenue recognition policies.
The Company’s license and collaboration agreements are accounted for as contracts with customers within the scope of ASC 606, with the exception of transactions for which the counterparty is determined not to be a customer. At the inception of each agreement, the Company determines the contract term for purposes of applying the requirements of ASC 606. Licenses are generally terminable at the option of the licensee with advance notice to the Company. For each license granted, the Company evaluates these termination rights to determine whether a substantive termination penalty would be incurred by the licensee upon termination. If the licensee incurs a substantive termination penalty upon termination, the contract term for revenue recognition purposes is generally equal to the stated term of the license, which is the life of the underlying licensed patents. Alternatively, if the licensee does not incur a substantive termination penalty upon termination, the contract term for revenue recognition purposes may be shorter than the stated term of the license, in which case the termination rights may be accounted for as contract renewal options.
Performance obligations under the Company’s license and collaboration agreements may include (i) the delivery of intellectual property licenses, (ii) development and manufacturing services to be performed by the Company related to licensed products and (iii) options granted to purchase additional goods and services, to the extent the options convey material rights. At the inception of each license agreement which contains performance obligations for development or other services, the Company evaluates whether the license is distinct from the services, which requires judgment. In making this determination, the Company considers, among other things, the stage of development of the licensed products and whether the services will significantly impact further development of the licensed products. If it is determined that the license is not distinct from the services, the license is combined with the services into a single performance obligation. Agreements may provide licensees and collaborators with options to purchase additional goods or other services, including options to purchase commercial supply of licensed products. Options are evaluated at the inception of the agreement to determine whether they provide material rights to the customer. In making this determination, the Company considers whether the options are priced at an incremental discount to the standalone selling price of the underlying goods or services, in which case the option is considered to be a material right. Material rights are accounted for as separate performance obligations under the current arrangement.
The Company evaluates the transaction price of its license and collaboration agreements at contract inception and at each reporting date. The transaction price includes the fixed consideration payable to the Company over the contract term, as well as any variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur in the future. Fixed consideration under the agreements may include up-front and annual fees payable over the contract term and fixed fees for development and other services performed by the Company. Variable consideration under the agreements may include development and sales-based milestone payments, payments for development and other services performed by the Company, sublicense fees and royalties on sales of licensed products. Consideration contingent upon the exercise of options by the customer is excluded from the transaction price and not accounted for as part of the arrangement until the option is exercised.
The transaction price of the Company's license and collaboration arrangements is allocated to the underlying performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling prices and recognized as revenue when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied. Variable consideration payable based on services performed by the Company is allocated directly to the performance obligation for such services. Consideration allocated to performance obligations for the delivery of intellectual property licenses is recognized as license and royalty revenue in full upon the delivery of the license. Consideration allocated to performance obligations for development and manufacturing services is recognized as service revenue as the services are performed by the Company. Consideration allocated to performance obligations for material rights to purchase additional goods and services is recognized as revenue upon the satisfaction of the performance obligations underlying the optional goods and services purchased by the customer. Service revenue is recognized using a measure of progress that best reflects the pattern of satisfaction of the performance obligations. At each reporting date, the Company re-evaluates the measure of progress and adjusts service revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis to reflect its best estimate of the services performed to date versus the total services to be performed under the arrangement.

Table of Contents
Development milestone payments are payable to the Company upon the achievement of specified development milestones. At the inception of each license agreement that contains development milestone payments, the Company evaluates whether the milestones are probable of achievement and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price using the most likely amount method. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in the future, milestone payments are included in the transaction price. Milestone payments contingent on the achievement of development milestones that are not within the control of the Company or the licensee, such as regulatory approvals, are not considered probable of being achieved and are excluded from the transaction price until the milestone is achieved. At each reporting date, the Company re-evaluates the probability of achievement of each outstanding development milestone and, if necessary, adjusts the transaction price for any milestones for which the probability of achievement has changed due to current facts and circumstances. The increase to the transaction price as a result of any such adjustments is then allocated to the underlying performance obligations in a manner similar to the allocation of the initial transaction price and, to the extent the performance obligations are satisfied, recognized as revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period of the adjustment.
Royalties on sales of licensed products, sales-based milestone payments, including milestones payable upon first commercial sales of licensed products, and sublicense fees based on the receipt of certain fees by licensees from any sublicensees are excluded from the transaction price of each license and recognized as license and royalty revenue in the period that the related sales or sublicenses occur, provided that the associated license has been delivered to the licensee.
Royalty revenue to date consists primarily of royalties on net sales of Zolgensma, which is a licensed product under the Company’s license agreement with Novartis Gene Therapies, Inc. (Novartis Gene Therapies), a wholly owned subsidiary of Novartis AG (Novartis), for the development and commercialization of treatments for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). The Company recognizes royalty revenue from net sales of Zolgensma in the period in which the underlying products are sold by Novartis Gene Therapies, which in certain cases may require the Company to estimate royalty revenue for periods of net sales which have not yet been reported to the Company. Estimated royalties are reconciled to actual amounts reported in subsequent periods, and any differences are recognized as an adjustment to royalty revenue in the period the royalties are reported.
The Company receives payments from licensees and collaborators based on the billing schedules established in the associated agreements. Amounts recognized as revenue which have not yet been received from the customer are recorded as accounts receivable when the Company’s rights to the consideration are conditional solely upon the passage of time. Amounts recognized as revenue which have not yet been received from customers are recorded as contract assets when the Company’s rights to the consideration are not unconditional. Contract assets are recorded as other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets if the consideration is expected to be realized within 12 months from the reporting date, or as other assets if the consideration is expected to be realized in periods beyond 12 months from the reporting date. If a licensee elects to terminate a license prior to the end of the license term, the licensed intellectual property is returned to the Company and any consideration recorded as accounts receivable or contract assets which is not contractually payable by the licensee is charged off as a reduction of revenue in the period of the termination. Amounts received by the Company prior to the delivery of underlying performance obligations are deferred and recognized as revenue upon the satisfaction of the performance obligations by the Company. Deferred revenue which is not expected to be recognized within 12 months from the reporting date is recorded as non-current on the consolidated balance sheets.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents outstanding for the period, determined using the treasury-stock method. For purposes of computing both basic and diluted net loss per share, pre-funded warrants are considered outstanding shares upon issuance because the underlying shares may be issued for nominal consideration and are exercisable after the original issuance date. Contingently convertible shares in which conversion is based on non-market-priced contingencies are excluded from the calculations of both basic and diluted net loss per share until the contingency has been fully met. For purposes of the diluted net loss per share calculation, common stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Management estimates that the carrying values of its current accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments. Certain accounts receivable which contain non-current portions and certain non-current payables reported as other liabilities are recorded at their present values using a discount rate that is based on prevailing market rates on the date the amounts were initially recorded. Management does not believe there have been any significant changes in market conditions or credit quality that would cause the discount rates initially used to be materially different from those that would be used as of June 30, 2025 to determine the present value of these instruments. Accordingly, management estimates that the carrying values of its non-current accounts receivable and other liabilities approximate the fair value of those instruments. Management estimates that the carrying values of its royalty monetization liabilities approximate fair value. As discussed in Note 7, the carrying values of royalty monetization liabilities are based on the Company’s estimate of future royalties, milestones and other consideration to be paid over the life of the arrangement, which are considered Level 3 inputs, as well as any remaining repayment obligations upon maturity of the instruments.
Long-lived assets, if determined to be impaired, are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using Level 3 inputs. Please refer to Note 6 for further information on nonrecurring fair value measurements of long-lived assets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

In March 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to sublease its office space under the New York Lease (the New York Sublease) to a third-party subtenant. The sublease term commenced in
The New York Sublease is classified as an operating lease and the Company was not relieved of its primary obligation under the New York Lease. The Company continues to account for the New York Lease as it did prior to the commencement of the sublease.
As a result of the New York Sublease, the Company determined an impairment indicator was present as of March 31, 2024 related to the long-lived asset group subject to the sublease, which included the right-of-use asset under the New York Lease, leasehold improvements and other property and equipment allocable to the New York Sublease. The Company concluded the carrying value of the asset group as of March 31, 2024 was not recoverable, as it exceeded the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets over their remaining lives. The Company estimated the fair value of the asset group as of March 31, 2024 using a discounted cash flow method, which incorporated unobservable inputs including the net identifiable cash flows over the term of the New York Sublease and an estimated borrowing rate of a market participant subtenant. The estimated fair value of the asset group as of March 31, 2024 represents a Level 3 nonrecurring fair value measurement. The Company concluded the carrying value of the asset group of $

At each reporting date, the Company reassesses its estimate of total future royalty payments to be paid to HCR at the applicable Cap Amount, and prospectively adjusts the effective interest rate and amortization of the liability as necessary. Over the life of the arrangement, the actual effective interest rate will be affected by the amount and timing of the royalty payments paid to HCR and changes in the Company’s forecasted royalties.

Prior to the maturity date, interest and principal under the 2025 Royalty Bond shall be paid quarterly to HCR solely from proceeds received from certain specified royalties, milestone payments, license fees and other consideration payable to the Company under specified license agreements (collectively, the Royalty Interest), including (i) the Novartis License for Zolgensma, (ii) the collaboration and license agreement with Nippon Shinyaku for RGX-121 and RGX-111, and (iii) NAV Technology Platform license agreements with Rocket Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc. Zolgensma royalties under the Novartis License shall only be included in the Royalty Interest after full repayment of the applicable Cap Amount under the 2020 Royalty Purchase Agreement with HCR. The Royalty Interest excludes, and the Company retains the rights to, certain other consideration payable under the license agreements including certain milestone payments, license fees and reimbursement of certain costs as applicable. The Royalty Interest is payable to HCR net of upstream royalty and sublicense fee obligations payable by the Company to applicable licensors. The 2025 Royalty Bond is collateralized by a security interest and lien on the Royalty Interest.

In March 2022, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the Penn Letter Agreement) with Penn to buy out the Company’s obligation to pay sublicense fees under its license agreement with Penn. In connection with the execution of the Penn Letter Agreement in March 2022, the Company’s royalty obligations under the GSK License were assigned by GSK to Penn. Beginning upon the effective date of the Penn Letter Agreement in March 2022, any royalties payable by the Company under the GSK License shall be paid to Penn rather than GSK. The Company remains obligated to pay GSK sublicense fees and reimbursement of certain patent maintenance costs in accordance with the GSK License.

The Company has been notified of a potential dispute with GSK over the amount of sublicense fees paid by the Company to GSK under the GSK License. GSK claims there has been a significant underpayment by the Company as they are entitled to a sublicense payment on all amounts received by the Company from sublicensees, including royalties, and not just amounts received for GSK's sublicensed patents. The Company disagrees with GSK's interpretation of the GSK License. The Company does not believe that a loss is probable, and no reasonable range of loss is estimable, related to this matter. No liabilities related to this matter were recorded as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Collaboration Agreements
AbbVie Collaboration and License Agreement
In September 2021, the Company entered into a collaboration and license agreement with AbbVie Global Enterprises Ltd. (AbbVie), a subsidiary of AbbVie Inc., to jointly develop and commercialize ABBV-RGX-314, the Company’s product candidate for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD), diabetic retinopathy (DR) and other chronic retinal diseases (the AbbVie Collaboration Agreement). The AbbVie Collaboration Agreement became effective in November 2021.
Pursuant to the AbbVie Collaboration Agreement, the Company granted AbbVie a co-exclusive license to develop and commercialize ABBV-RGX-314 in the United States and an exclusive license to develop and commercialize ABBV-RGX-314 outside the United States. The Company and AbbVie will collaborate to develop ABBV-RGX-314 in the United States, and AbbVie will be responsible for the development of ABBV-RGX-314 in specified markets outside the United States. Through December 31, 2022, the Company was responsible for the development expenses related to certain ongoing clinical trials of ABBV-RGX-314 and the parties shared the additional development expenses related to ABBV-RGX-314. Beginning on January 1, 2023, AbbVie became responsible for the majority of all ABBV-RGX-314 development expenses.
The Company will lead the manufacturing of ABBV-RGX-314 for clinical development and U.S. commercial supply, and AbbVie will lead the manufacturing of ABBV-RGX-314 for commercial supply outside the United States. Manufacturing expenses will be allocated between the parties in accordance with the terms of the AbbVie Collaboration Agreement and mutually agreed supply agreements. If requested by AbbVie, the Company will manufacture up to a specified portion of ABBV-RGX-314 for commercial supply outside the United States at a price specified in the agreement. AbbVie will lead the commercialization of ABBV-RGX-314 globally, and the Company will participate in U.S. commercialization efforts as provided under a commercialization plan determined in accordance with the agreement. The Company and AbbVie will share equally in the net profits and net losses associated with the commercialization of ABBV-RGX-314 in the United States. Outside the United States, AbbVie will be responsible, at its sole cost, for the commercialization of ABBV-RGX-314.
In consideration for the rights granted under the AbbVie Collaboration Agreement, AbbVie paid the Company an up-front fee of $

Nippon Shinyaku Collaboration and License Agreement
In January 2025, the Company entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Nippon Shinyaku for the development and commercialization of RGX-121, the Company’s product candidate for the treatment of Mucopolysaccharidosis Type II (MPS II), and RGX-111, the Company's product candidate for the treatment of Mucopolysaccharidosis Type I (MPS I) (the Nippon Shinyaku Collaboration Agreement). The Nippon Shinyaku Collaboration Agreement became effective in March 2025.
Pursuant to the Nippon Shinyaku Collaboration Agreement, the Company granted Nippon Shinyaku a license to develop and exclusively commercialize RGX-121 and RGX-111 in the United States and certain countries in Asia. The Company is responsible for the development of RGX-121 and RGX-111 in the United States, and Nippon Shinyaku is responsible for development in licensed territories outside the United States. The Company is responsible for the manufacturing of RGX-121 and RGX-111 for clinical development and commercial supply, and manufacturing expenses will be allocated between the parties in accordance with the terms of the Nippon Shinyaku Collaboration Agreement and mutually agreed supply agreements. Nippon Shinyaku will be responsible, at its sole cost, for the commercialization of RGX-121 and RGX-111 in the licensed territories. The Company reserves the right to develop and commercialize RGX-121 and RGX-111 in countries outside the licensed territories. The Nippon Shinyaku Collaboration Agreement contains provisions for termination, including termination for convenience by Nippon Shinyaku.
In consideration for the rights granted and services to be performed under the Nippon Shinyaku Collaboration Agreement, Nippon Shinyaku paid the Company an up-front fee of $
The Company evaluated its various commitments under the Nippon Shinyaku Collaboration Agreement and identified the distinct units of account under the arrangement. For each of the distinct units of account identified, the Company determined whether the transactions should be accounted for as a contract with a customer within the scope of ASC 606 or as a collaborative arrangement within the scope of ASC 808. The Company concluded that each of the distinct units of account identified should be accounted for as revenue under ASC 606, as Nippon Shinyaku is deemed to be a customer for each of the various transactions. The Company identified the following material performance obligations under the agreement: (i) delivery of intellectual property licenses to develop and commercialize RGX-121 and RGX-111 in the United States and Asia territories, (ii) development services for RGX-121 and RGX-111 in the Unites States, including manufacturing of clinical supply and commercial supply prior to regulatory approval, and (iii) material rights granted to Nippon Shinyaku to purchase commercial supply for sales in licensed territories.
The intellectual property licensed to Nippon Shinyaku includes the rights to certain patents, data, know-how and other rights developed and owned by the Company, as well as other intellectual property rights exclusively licensed by the Company from various third parties. In determining the distinct performance obligations under the agreements, the Company concluded that the licenses granted to Nippon Shinyaku to develop and commercialize RGX-121 and RGX-111 are distinct from the other goods and services promised under the agreement, as Nippon Shinyaku can benefit from the license on a standalone basis and, based on the stage of development of the product candidates, the underlying licensed products and know-how are not expected to be significantly modified as a result of other goods and services promised under the agreement. The Company evaluated all options granted to Nippon Shinyaku under the agreement to determine whether the options represent material rights. Management concluded the options to purchase commercial supply convey material rights granted to Nippon Shinyaku, and therefore are accounted for as separate performance obligations under the current arrangement. The Company identified various promises under the Nippon Shinyaku Collaboration Agreement which were determined to be immaterial in the context of the contract and will not be accounted for as separate performance obligations.

The Company evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon the realizability of its deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Based on the Company’s history of operating losses, and other relevant facts and circumstances, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that the benefit of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the Company provided a full valuation allowance for its net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
In July 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was enacted into law. The OBBBA amends U.S. tax laws, including provisions related to bonus depreciation and deductions for research and development expenses. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the OBBBA on its consolidated financial statements.

13. Net Loss Per Share
Since the Company incurred net losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, common stock equivalents were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share for such periods as their effect would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, basic and diluted net loss per share were the same for such periods. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used in the basic and diluted net loss per share calculations includes the weighted-average effect of pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock, as the pre-funded warrants are exercisable at any time for nominal cash consideration. The following potentially dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding at the end of the period were excluded from the computations of weighted-average diluted common shares for the periods indicated as their effects would be anti-dilutive (in thousands):

14. Segment Information
Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (CODM), or decision-making group, in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The CODM reviews and evaluates consolidated net income (loss) for purposes of assessing performance, making operating decisions and allocating resources. The CODM uses net income (loss) to assess performance versus operating budgets and in the preparation of near-term and long-range operating plans to inform decisions on resource and capital allocation. The CODM reviews consolidated cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as a measure of segment assets. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $

In addition, you should read the “Risk Factors” and “Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.
Overview
We are a leading clinical-stage biotechnology company seeking to improve lives through the curative potential of gene therapy. Our investigational gene therapies are designed to deliver functional genes to address genetic defects in cells, enabling the production of therapeutic proteins or antibodies that are intended to impact disease. Through a single administration, gene therapy could potentially alter the course of disease significantly and deliver improved patient outcomes with long-lasting effects.
Overview of Product Candidates
We have developed a broad pipeline of gene therapy programs using our proprietary adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy delivery platform (NAV Technology Platform) as a one-time treatment to address an array of diseases. Our lead programs and product candidates are described below:
Wet AMD
Subretinal Delivery
Enrollment continues to be on track in the ATMOSPHERE® and ASCENT™ pivotal trials for the treatment of patients with wet AMD using subretinal delivery. These trials are expected to support global regulatory submissions with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Topline data from these trials are expected to be shared in 2026.
Suprachoroidal Delivery
The AAVIATE® trial is a multi-center, open label, randomized, controlled, dose-escalation Phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of suprachoroidal delivery of ABBV-RGX-314 for the treatment of wet AMD. As of July 29, 2024, ABBV-RGX-314 at dose level 3 with short course prophylactic steroid eye drops continues to be well tolerated with no drug-related serious adverse events (SAEs) and no cases of intraocular inflammation, endophthalmitis, vasculitis, retinal artery occlusion, choroidal effusion or hypotony. Mild episcleritis occurred in three patients, all resolved and completed treatment with topical steroids. There were no cases of elevated intraocular pressure. Based on this favorable safety profile, the Phase II AAVIATE trial continues to enroll a new cohort to evaluate ABBV-RGX-314 at dose level 4 (1.5x10e12 GC/eye). Patients in this cohort will also receive short course prophylactic steroid eye drops.

DR and DME
The ALTITUDE® trial is a multi-center, open label, randomized, controlled, dose-escalation Phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of ABBV-RGX-314 using suprachoroidal delivery for the treatment of DR. In November 2023, we announced data showing ABBV-RGX-314 was well tolerated at dose levels 1 and 2 and positive signals of efficacy, including 20.8% of patients exhibiting >2-step Diabetic Retinopathy Severity Scale (DRSS) improvement without additional DR treatment at one year.
In August 2025, we announced new data from the ALTITUDE trial and plans to initiate a pivotal program. New ALTITUDE trial data demonstrate a durable safety and efficacy profile observed in patients with non-proliferative DR through two years with a single, in-office injection. As of June 9, 2025, ABBV-RGX-314 was well tolerated at dose levels 1, 2 and 3, with no drug-related serious adverse events. No intraocular inflammation was observed through two years at dose level 3 (1.0x10e12 GC/eye) (n=15) with short-course topical prophylactic steroids. In August 2025, we and AbbVie executed an amendment to our collaboration agreement and announced plans to initiate a pivotal two-part placebo-controlled Phase IIb/III trial, with the primary endpoint being ≥2-step DRSS improvement at one year. Site selection for the Phase IIb/III trial is in progress.
The ALTITUDE trial includes a new cohort of patients with center-involved DME evaluating ABBV-RGX-314 at dose level 4. Enrollment completed in this cohort in June 2025. DME is a vision-threatening complication of DR; an estimated 34 million people globally have DME. Patients will receive a one-time, in-office injection of ABBV-RGX-314 at dose level 4 (1.5x10e12 GC/eye) with short course prophylactic steroid eye drops.
AFFINITY DUCHENNE® is a multicenter, open-label Phase I/II/III trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability and clinical efficacy of a one-time intravenous dose of RGX-202 in patients with Duchenne aged one and older. The initiation of the pivotal study, which is expected to enroll approximately 30 patients in the U.S. and Canada, as well as positive interim safety and efficacy data from the Phase I/II portion of the study were announced in November 2024. These data included positive biomarker data from the first nine patients, which demonstrated consistent, robust microdystrophin and transduction, as well as positive initial functional data. Subsequent findings were presented in March 2025 at the 2025 Muscular Dystrophy Association Clinical & Scientific Conference and in June 2025 via a Company webcast. In sum, these data were positive and demonstrate potential for RGX-202 to serve as a differentiated gene therapy for Duchenne. As of May 2025, we had reported positive microdystrophin data on 12 patients and positive initial functional data from five patients. We also reported a favorable safety profile with no serious adverse events or adverse events of special interest observed (n=13).
As of May 2025, the pivotal study was beyond 50% enrolled. In August 2025, we announced expectations to complete enrollment by October 2025, earlier than previous guidance of year-end 2025. Upon completion of enrollment in the pivotal trial, we expect to continue enrollment to support a planned confirmatory trial. We expect to share topline data in the first half of 2026 and submit a Biologics License Application (BLA) under the accelerated approval pathway in mid-2026.
We are also recruiting patients in the AFFINITY BEYOND® trial, an observational screening study. The primary objective is to evaluate the prevalence of AAV8 antibodies in patients with Duchenne up to 12 years of age. Information collected in this study may be used to identify potential participants for the AFFINITY DUCHENNE trial and potential future trials of RGX-202.
In February 2024, we announced that, in the pivotal phase of the Phase I/II/III CAMPSIITE® trial, RGX-121 achieved its primary endpoint, a reduction in cerebrospinal fluid Heparan sulfate levels of D2S6, a biomarker indicative of brain disease activity, with statistical significance. In September 2024, we announced positive data from the pivotal dose level of RGX-121 demonstrating long-term systemic effect. We plan to use levels of cerebrospinal fluid Heparan sulfate D2S6 as a surrogate endpoint reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit for accelerated approval. A BLA for RGX-121 seeking accelerated approval was submitted to the FDA in March 2025. In May 2025, the FDA granted priority review of the BLA and a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date of November 9, 2025 was assigned. A mid-cycle

meeting and pre-license and Bioresearch Monitoring inspections were successfully completed in July and August 2025, respectively.
Potential approval of the BLA for RGX-121 could result in receipt of a Rare Pediatric Disease Priority Review Voucher in 2025, assuming the statutory criteria are met. If approved, RGX-121 would be the first approved gene therapy and one-time treatment for MPS II.
In November 2023, future development of RGX-111 was halted as a result of a strategic pipeline prioritization and corporate restructuring. Prior to that announcement, RGX-111 demonstrated to be well tolerated and indicated encouraging biomarker and neurodevelopmental results in a Phase I/II study. Efforts to continue development of RGX-111 as part of the strategic partnership with Nippon Shinyaku are ongoing.
AbbVie Collaboration for ABBV-RGX-314
In September 2021, we entered into a collaboration and license agreement with AbbVie Global Enterprises Ltd. (AbbVie), a subsidiary of AbbVie Inc., to jointly develop and commercialize ABBV-RGX-314 (the AbbVie Collaboration Agreement). Pursuant to the AbbVie Collaboration Agreement, both we and AbbVie are active participants in the development of ABBV-RGX-314 and development expenses are shared between the parties in accordance with the agreement. The Company will lead the manufacturing of ABBV-RGX-314 for clinical development and U.S. commercial supply, and AbbVie will lead the global commercialization of ABBV-RGX-314. We received an up-front fee of $370.0 million from AbbVie upon the effective date of the AbbVie Collaboration Agreement in November 2021, and we are eligible to receive up to $1.38 billion from AbbVie upon the achievement of specified development and sales-based milestones. Additionally, the parties will share equally in the net profits and net losses associated with the commercialization of ABBV-RGX-314 in the United States, and we are eligible to receive tiered royalties on net sales by AbbVie of ABBV-RGX-314 outside the United States. For additional information regarding the AbbVie Collaboration Agreement, please refer to Note 10, “License and Collaboration Agreements—AbbVie Collaboration and License Agreement” to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.
In August 2025, we and AbbVie entered into an amendment to the AbbVie Collaboration Agreement which modifies the development plan and milestone payment structure for the ABBV-RGX-314 DR program. Under the amendment, we will conduct the first registration enabling trial for DR suprachoroidal (SCS) treatment as a combined Phase IIb/III trial performed in two parts (Part 1 and Part 2), and AbbVie will conduct the second registration enabling trial as a separate, standalone Phase III trial. In lieu of the $200.0 million milestone due under the original AbbVie Collaboration Agreement upon first patient dosed in the first registration enabling trial for DR SCS treatment, AbbVie will pay us $100.0 million upon first patient dosed in the Phase IIb/III trial for DR SCS treatment and an additional $100.0 million upon first patient dosed in the subsequent Phase III trial. Also pursuant to the amendment, AbbVie will lead a new Phase IIIb randomized controlled study (the ACHIEVE Study) to assess the injection burden, adverse events, change in disease activity, and long-term preservation of visual acuity of ABBV-RGX-314 in adult participants with neovascular AMD. We will be responsible for our development expenses to conduct Part 1 of the Phase IIb/III trial for DR and the parties will share the development expenses related to Part 2 of the Phase IIb/III trial and the subsequent Phase III trial for DR in accordance with the existing terms of the AbbVie Collaboration Agreement. AbbVie will be responsible for all development expenses related to the ACHIEVE Study.
Nippon Shinyaku Collaboration for RGX-121 and RGX-111
In January 2025, we entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Nippon Shinyaku Co., Ltd. (Nippon Shinyaku) for the development and commercialization of RGX-121 and RGX-111 (the Nippon Shinyaku Collaboration Agreement). Pursuant to the Nippon Shinyaku Collaboration Agreement, we are responsible for the development of RGX-121 and RGX-111 in the United States, and Nippon Shinyaku is responsible for development in licensed territories outside the United States. We are responsible for the manufacturing of RGX-121 and RGX-111 for clinical development and commercial supply, and manufacturing expenses will be allocated between the parties in accordance with the terms of the Nippon Shinyaku Collaboration Agreement. Nippon Shinyaku is responsible, at its sole cost, for the commercialization of RGX-121 and RGX-111 in the licensed territories. Under the terms of the Nippon Shinyaku Collaboration Agreement, we received an up-front payment of $110.0 million from Nippon Shinyaku following the effective date of the agreement in March 2025 and are eligible to receive up to $700.0 million from Nippon Shinyaku upon the achievement of specified development and sales-based milestones. We are also eligible to receive double-digit royalties on net sales of RGX-121 and RGX-111 by Nippon Shinyaku, subject to specified offsets and reductions. We retain all rights to, and any proceeds related to the sale of, any priority review vouchers that may be issued upon the potential approvals of RGX-121 and RGX-111.

For additional information regarding the agreement with Nippon Shinyaku, please refer to Note 10, “License and Collaboration Agreements—Nippon Shinyaku Collaboration and License Agreement” to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.
In May 2025, we entered into a loan agreement with entities managed by Healthcare Royalty Management, LLC (collectively and with other affiliated entities, HCR). Pursuant to the terms of the loan agreement, future royalties, sales-based milestone payments and certain development milestone payments earned under the Nippon Shinyaku Collaboration Agreement, along with consideration earned under various other NAV Technology Platform license agreements, shall be used to repay principal and interest owed to HCR. For additional information regarding the May 2025 loan agreement with HCR, please refer to Note 7, “Royalty Monetization Liabilities—2025 Royalty Bond” to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.
NAV Technology Licensing Platform
In addition to our internal product development efforts, we also selectively license the NAV Technology Platform and other intellectual property rights to other leading biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, which we refer to as NAV Technology Licensees. As of June 30, 2025, our NAV Technology Platform was being applied in one commercial product, Zolgensma®, and the preclinical and clinical development of a number of other licensed products. Licensing the NAV Technology Platform allows us to maintain our internal product development focus on our core disease indications and therapeutic areas while still expanding the NAV gene therapy pipeline, developing a greater breadth of treatments for patients, providing additional technological and potential clinical proof-of-concept for our NAV Technology Platform and creating additional revenue opportunities.
Financial Overview
Revenues
Our revenues to date have consisted primarily of revenue generated from the licensing of our NAV Technology Platform and other intellectual property rights to NAV Technology Licensees and collaborators. We have not generated any revenues from commercial sales of our own products. If we fail to complete the development of our product candidates in a timely manner or obtain regulatory approval and adequate labeling, our ability to generate future revenues will be materially compromised.
We license our NAV Technology Platform and other intellectual property rights to other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, including collaborators for the joint development and commercialization of our product candidates. The terms of the licenses vary, and licenses may be exclusive or non-exclusive and may be sublicensable by the licensee. Licenses may grant intellectual property rights for purposes of internal and preclinical research and development only, or may include the rights, or options to obtain future rights, to commercialize drug therapies for specific diseases using the NAV Technology Platform and other licensed rights. License agreements generally have a term at least equal to the life of the underlying patents, but are terminable at the option of the licensee. Consideration to the Company under our license and collaboration agreements may include: (i) up-front and annual fees, (ii) milestone payments based on the achievement of certain development and sales-based milestones, (iii) sublicense fees, (iv) royalties on sales of licensed products, (v) fees for services related to the development and manufacturing of licensed products and (vi) other consideration payable upon optional goods and services purchased by licensees and collaborators.
Future revenues under our license and collaboration arrangements are dependent on the successful development and commercialization of licensed products, which is uncertain, and revenues may fluctuate significantly from period to period. Additionally, we may never receive consideration under our license or collaboration agreements that is contemplated on optional goods and services, development and sales-based milestones, royalties on sales of licensed products or sublicense fees, given the contingent nature of these payments. Our revenues are concentrated among a low number of licensees and collaborators and the arrangements are terminable at the option of the counterparty. The termination of our license and collaborations arrangements may materially impact the amount of revenue we recognize in future periods.
Zolgensma Royalties
Royalty revenue to date consists primarily of royalties on net sales of Zolgensma, which is marketed by Novartis Gene Therapies, Inc. (Novartis Gene Therapies), a wholly owned subsidiary of Novartis AG (Novartis), for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Zolgensma is a licensed product under our license agreement with Novartis Gene Therapies for the development and commercialization of treatments for SMA using the NAV Technology Platform.

Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses consist primarily of cost of license and royalty revenues, research and development expenses and general and administrative expenses. Personnel costs including salaries, wages, benefits, bonuses and stock-based compensation expense, comprise a significant component of research and development and general and administrative expenses. We allocate indirect expenses associated with our facilities, information technology costs, depreciation and other overhead costs between research and development and general and administrative categories based on employee headcount and the nature of work performed by each employee or using other reasonable allocation methodologies.
Cost of License and Royalty Revenues
Our cost of license and royalty revenues consists primarily of upstream fees due to our licensors as a result of revenue generated from the licensing of our NAV Technology Platform and other intellectual property rights, including sublicense fees and royalties on net sales of licensed products. Sublicense fees are based on a percentage of license fees received by us from licensees and are recognized in the period that the underlying license revenue is recognized. Royalties are based on a percentage of net sales of licensed products by licensees and are recognized in the period that the underlying sales occur. Future costs of revenues are uncertain due to the nature of our license agreements and significant fluctuations in cost of license and royalty revenues may occur from period to period.
Research and Development Expense
Our research and development expenses consist primarily of:
Up-front fees incurred in obtaining technology licenses for research and development activities, as well as associated milestone payments, are charged to research and development expense as incurred if the technology licensed has no alternative future use.
34
Table of Contents
We expect to continue to incur significant research and development expenses for the foreseeable future as we continue the development of our product candidates and engage in early research and development for prospective product candidates and new technologies. The following table summarizes our research and development expenses incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):

Direct expenses related to the development of ABBV-RGX-314 include $17.1 million and $31.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and $21.3 million and $46.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, in net cost reimbursement from AbbVie under our eye care collaboration, which were recorded as a reduction of research and development expenses. In addition to reimbursement of direct development expenses, net cost reimbursement from AbbVie includes reimbursement of personnel and overhead costs attributable to the development of ABBV-RGX-314, the underlying costs of which are reported as unallocated expenses in the table above. We typically utilize our employee and infrastructure resources across our development programs. As a result, we generally do not allocate personnel and other internal costs, such as facilities and other overhead costs, to specific product candidates or development programs.
Platform and early research reported in the table above includes direct costs not identifiable with a specific lead product candidate, including costs associated with our research and development platform used across programs, process and analytical development, early research and development for prospective product candidates and new technologies, and other costs in support of research and development activities.
General and Administrative Expense
Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, wages and personnel-related costs, including benefits, travel and stock-based compensation, for employees performing functions other than research and development. This includes certain personnel in executive, commercial, corporate development, finance, legal, human resources, information technology, facilities and administrative support functions. Additionally, general and administrative expenses include costs associated with accounting, legal, commercial and other corporate advisory services, obtaining and maintaining patents, insurance, information systems and other general corporate activities, as well as facility-related costs and other corporate overhead costs not otherwise allocated to research and development expense. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase as we continue to develop, and potentially commercialize, our product candidates. Specifically, we expect general and administrative costs associated with the potential commercialization of our product candidates to increase in future periods as we and/or our commercial partners prepare for and carry out product launch efforts, in particular for the potential commercialization of our RGX-202 and ABBV-RGX-314 product candidates.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest Income from Licensing
In accordance with our revenue recognition policy, interest income from licensing consists of imputed interest recognized from significant financing components identified in our license agreements with NAV Technology Licensees.
35
Table of Contents
Investment Income
Investment income consists of interest income earned and gains and losses realized from our cash equivalents, marketable securities and non-marketable equity securities. Cash equivalents are comprised of money market mutual funds and highly liquid debt securities with original maturities of 90 days or less at acquisition. Marketable securities are comprised of available-for-sale debt securities.
Interest Expense
Interest expense is primarily associated with our royalty monetization liabilities, including our December 2020 Zolgensma royalty purchase agreement (2020 Royalty Purchase Agreement) and May 2025 royalty bond (2025 Royalty Bond) with HCR. For further information regarding our royalty monetization liabilities and associated interest expense, please refer to Note 7, “Royalty Monetization Liabilities” to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities for the periods presented. 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, and other reported amounts, that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our significant accounting policies are fully described in Note 2 to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and in Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Other than the accounting policies described below, there have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates since December 31, 2024.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606). ASC 606 requires entities to recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are performed to determine the appropriate revenue recognition for arrangements within the scope of ASC 606: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies the performance obligations.
We apply the five-step model to contracts that are within the scope of ASC 606 only when it is probable that we will collect the consideration we are entitled to in exchange for the goods or services we transfer to the customer. At contract inception, for contracts within the scope of ASC 606, we assess the goods or services promised within each contract and determine those that are performance obligations and whether each promised good or service is distinct. We then recognize as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to respective performance obligations when (or as) the respective performance obligations are satisfied.
We evaluate our contracts with customers for the presence of significant financing components. If a significant financing component is identified in a contract and provides a financing benefit to the customer, the transaction price for the contract is adjusted to account for the financing portion of the arrangement, which is recognized as interest income over the financing term using the effective interest method. In determining the appropriate interest rates for significant financing components, we evaluate the credit profile of the customer and prevailing market interest rates and select an interest rate which we believe would be charged to the customer in a separate financing arrangement over a similar financing term.
We license our NAV Technology Platform and other intellectual property rights to other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, including collaborators for the joint development and commercialization of our product candidates. The terms of the licenses vary, and licenses may be exclusive or non-exclusive and may be sublicensable by the licensee. Licenses may grant intellectual property rights for purposes of internal and preclinical research and development only, or may include the rights, or options to obtain future rights, to commercialize drug therapies for specific diseases using the NAV Technology Platform and other licensed rights. License agreements generally have a term at least equal to the life of the underlying patents, but are terminable at the
36
Table of Contents
option of the licensee. Consideration payable to us under our license and collaboration agreements may include: (i) up-front and annual fees, (ii) milestone payments based on the achievement of certain development and sales-based milestones, (iii) sublicense fees, (iv) royalties on sales of licensed products, (v) fees for services related to the development and manufacturing of licensed products and (vi) other consideration payable upon optional goods and services purchased by licensees and collaborators.
We evaluate our agreements with collaboration partners to determine whether they are within the scope of ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements (ASC 808). For collaboration arrangements within the scope of ASC 808 that contain multiple elements, we identify the various transactions with the counterparty and determine if any unit of account is more reflective of a transaction with a customer and therefore should be accounted for within the scope of ASC 606. For transactions that are accounted for pursuant to ASC 808, an appropriate method of recognition and presentation is determined and consistently applied. For transactions that are accounted for pursuant to ASC 606, we apply the five-step model as described in our revenue recognition policies.
Our license and collaboration agreements are accounted for as contracts with customers within the scope of ASC 606, with the exception of transactions for which the counterparty is determined not to be a customer. At the inception of each agreement, we determine the contract term for purposes of applying the requirements of ASC 606. Licenses are generally terminable at the option of the licensee with advance notice to us. For each license granted, we evaluate these termination rights to determine whether a substantive termination penalty would be incurred by the licensee upon termination. If the licensee incurs a substantive termination penalty upon termination, the contract term for revenue recognition purposes is generally equal to the stated term of the license, which is the life of the underlying licensed patents. Alternatively, if the licensee does not incur a substantive termination penalty upon termination, the contract term for revenue recognition purposes may be shorter than the stated term of the license, in which case the termination rights may be accounted for as contract renewal options.
Performance obligations under our license and collaboration agreements may include (i) the delivery of intellectual property licenses, (ii) development and manufacturing services to be performed by us related to licensed products and (iii) options granted to purchase additional goods and services, to the extent the options convey material rights. At the inception of each license agreement which contains performance obligations for development or other services, we evaluate whether the license is distinct from the services, which requires judgment. In making this determination, we consider, among other things, the stage of development of the licensed products and whether the services will significantly impact further development of the licensed products. If it is determined that the license is not distinct from the services, the license is combined with the services into a single performance obligation. Agreements may provide licensees and collaborators with options to purchase additional goods or other services, including options to purchase commercial supply of licensed products. Options are evaluated at the inception of the agreement to determine whether they provide material rights to the customer. In making this determination, we consider whether the options are priced at an incremental discount to the standalone selling price of the underlying goods or services, in which case the option is considered to be a material right. Material rights are accounted for as separate performance obligations under the current arrangement.
We evaluate the transaction price of our license and collaboration agreements at contract inception and at each reporting date. The transaction price includes the fixed consideration payable to us over the contract term, as well as any variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur in the future. Fixed consideration under the agreements may include up-front and annual fees payable to us over the contract term and fixed fees for development and other services. Variable consideration under the agreements may include development and sales-based milestone payments, payments for development and other services, sublicense fees and royalties on sales of licensed products. Consideration contingent upon the exercise of options by the customer is excluded from the transaction price and not accounted for as part of the arrangement until the option is exercised.
The transaction price of our license and collaboration arrangements is allocated to the underlying performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling prices and recognized as revenue when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied. Variable consideration payable based on services performed is allocated directly to the performance obligation for such services. Consideration allocated to performance obligations for the delivery of intellectual property licenses is recognized as license and royalty revenue in full upon the delivery of the license. Consideration allocated to performance obligations for development and manufacturing services is recognized as service revenue as we perform the services. Consideration allocated to performance obligations for material rights to purchase additional goods and services is recognized as revenue upon the satisfaction of the performance obligations underlying the optional goods and services purchased by the customer. Service revenue is recognized using a measure of progress that best reflects the pattern of satisfaction of the performance obligations. At each reporting date, we re-evaluate the measure of progress and adjust service revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis to reflect our best estimate of the services performed to date versus the total services to be performed under the arrangement.
Development milestone payments are payable to us upon the achievement of specified development milestones. At the inception of each license agreement that contains development milestone payments, we evaluate whether the milestones are probable of achievement and estimate the amount to be included in the transaction price using the most likely amount method. If it is probable that
37
Table of Contents
a significant revenue reversal will not occur in the future, milestone payments are included in the transaction price. Milestone payments contingent on the achievement of development milestones that are not within our control or the control of the licensee, such as regulatory approvals, are not considered probable of being achieved and are excluded from the transaction price until the milestone is achieved. At each reporting date, we re-evaluate the probability of achievement of each outstanding development milestone and, if necessary, adjust the transaction price for any milestones for which the probability of achievement has changed due to current facts and circumstances. The increase to the transaction price as a result of any such adjustments is then allocated to the underlying performance obligations in a manner similar to the allocation of the initial transaction price and, to the extent the performance obligations are satisfied, recognized as revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period of the adjustment.
Royalties on sales of licensed products, sales-based milestone payments, including milestones payable upon first commercial sales of licensed products, and sublicense fees based on the receipt of certain fees by licensees from any sublicensees are excluded from the transaction price of each license and recognized as license and royalty revenue in the period that the related sales or sublicenses occur, provided that the associated license has been delivered to the licensee.
Royalty revenue to date consists primarily of royalties on net sales of Zolgensma, which is a licensed product under our license agreement with Novartis Gene Therapies for the development and commercialization of treatments for SMA. We recognize royalty revenue from net sales of Zolgensma in the period in which the underlying products are sold by Novartis Gene Therapies, which in certain cases may require us to estimate royalty revenue for periods of net sales which have not yet been reported to us. Estimated royalties are reconciled to actual amounts reported in subsequent periods, and any differences are recognized as an adjustment to royalty revenue in the period the royalties are reported.
We receive payments from licensees and collaborators based on the billing schedules established in the associated agreements. Amounts recognized as revenue which have not yet been received from the customer are recorded as accounts receivable when our rights to the consideration are conditional solely upon the passage of time. Amounts recognized as revenue which have not yet been received from customers are recorded as contract assets when our rights to the consideration are not unconditional. Contract assets are recorded as other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets if the consideration is expected to be realized within 12 months from the reporting date, or as other assets if the consideration is expected to be realized in periods beyond 12 months from the reporting date. If a licensee elects to terminate a license prior to the end of the license term, the licensed intellectual property is returned to us and any consideration recorded as accounts receivable or contract assets which is not contractually payable by the licensee is charged off as a reduction of revenue in the period of the termination. Amounts received by us prior to the delivery of underlying performance obligations are deferred and recognized as revenue upon the satisfaction of the performance obligations. Deferred revenue which is not expected to be recognized within 12 months from the reporting date is recorded as non-current on the consolidated balance sheets.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024
License and Royalty Revenue. License and royalty revenue decreased by $3.4 million, from $21.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to $18.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to Zolgensma royalty revenues, which decreased by $3.3 million, from $21.8 million for the second quarter of 2024 to $18.4 million for the second quarter of 2025. Novartis reported Zolgensma sales of $297 million for the second quarter of 2025, a decrease of 15% from the second quarter of 2024, driven by lower incidence of SMA during the period.
Service Revenue. Service revenue increased by $2.4 million, from $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to $2.7 million of development service revenue recognized under our collaboration with Nippon Shinyaku in the second quarter of 2025.
Research and Development Expense. Research and development expenses increased by $10.6 million, from $48.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to $59.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to the following:
General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expenses increased by $1.0 million, from $18.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to $19.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to personnel-related costs for general and administrative personnel and professional services and consulting fees, including legal and other corporate advisory services.

Table of Contents
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $10.5 million, from $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to $11.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to interest expense under our royalty monetization liabilities, driven largely by an increase in forecasted Zolgensma royalties expected to be paid to HCR under the 2020 Royalty Purchase Agreement and interest expense incurred to date under the 2025 Royalty Bond issued in May 2025.
Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024
License and Royalty Revenue. License and royalty revenue increased by $68.3 million, from $37.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to $105.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to $70.0 million of upfront license revenue recognized under our collaboration with Nippon Shinyaku in the first quarter of 2025.
Service Revenue. Service revenue increased by $4.1 million, from $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to $4.5 million of development service revenue recognized under our collaboration with Nippon Shinyaku in the first half of 2025.
Research and Development Expense. Research and development expenses increased by $8.9 million, from $103.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to $112.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to the following:
The increase in research and development expenses was partially offset by a decrease of $2.7 million in overall costs for clinical trials, preclinical activities and other early-stage development.
General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expenses increased by $3.1 million, from $37.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to $40.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to personnel-related costs for general and administrative personnel and professional services and consulting fees, including legal and other corporate advisory services.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $17.1 million, from $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to $19.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to interest expense under our royalty monetization liabilities, driven largely by an increase in forecasted Zolgensma royalties expected to be paid to HCR under the 2020 Royalty Purchase Agreement and interest expense incurred to date under the 2025 Royalty Bond issued in May 2025.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
As of June 30, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $363.6 million, which were primarily derived from the royalty monetization in May 2025 and the up-front payment received under the Nippon Shinyaku Collaboration Agreement in March 2025, each as described below, and the sale of our common stock and pre-funded warrants in March 2024. We expect that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of June 30, 2025 will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements, and are sufficient to meet our financial commitments and obligations, for at least the next 12 months from the date of this report based on our current business plan.
In May 2025, we entered into a loan agreement with HCR pursuant to which HCR will provide us with an aggregate limited recourse loan of up to $250.0 million (the 2025 Royalty Bond). The 2025 Royalty Bond is disbursable to us in three tranches, with $150.0 million funded on the closing date in May 2025, $50.0 million available to be funded if sales of a specified product exceed a specified sales threshold prior to December 31, 2026, and $50.0 million available to be funded if both parties exercise an option in 2027. Proceeds received from the initial funding tranche of the 2025 Royalty Bond in May 2025, net of discounts and transaction costs, were $144.5 million. The 2025 Royalty Bond matures in 2035, subject to potential extension, and bears interest at a rate of 9.75% plus the 3-month secured overnight financing rate as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (SOFR), with a minimum interest rate of 14.0%. Prior to the maturity date, interest and principal under the 2025 Royalty Bond shall be paid quarterly to HCR solely from proceeds received, net of upstream obligations to licensors, from certain specified royalties, milestone payments, license fees and other consideration payable to us under the Zolgensma license with Novartis Gene Therapies, the Nippon Shinyaku Collaboration Agreement and certain other NAV Technology Platform license agreements.

Table of Contents
In January 2025, we entered into the Nippon Shinyaku Collaboration Agreement for the development and commercialization of RGX-121 and RGX-111 in the United States and certain countries in Asia. Pursuant the Nippon Shinyaku Collaboration Agreement, we received an up-front payment of $110.0 million following the effective date of the agreement in March 2025 and are eligible to receive up to $700.0 million upon the achievement of specified development and sales-based milestones. We are also eligible to receive double-digit royalties on net sales of RGX-121 and RGX-111 by Nippon Shinyaku, subject to specified offsets and reductions.
We intend to devote the majority of our current capital to preclinical research, clinical development, seeking regulatory approval of our product candidates and, if approved, commercialization of our product candidates, as well as additional capital expenditures needed to support these activities. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development and commercialization of gene therapy product candidates, we are unable to estimate the total amount of operating expenditures and capital outlays necessary to complete the development of our product candidates. Additionally, our estimates are based on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we may use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect which could accelerate our liquidity needs.
At-the-Market Offering Program
In December 2024, we entered into a Sales Agreement with Leerink Partners LLC (Leerink) pursuant to which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $150.0 million from time to time through Leerink, acting as our sales agent (the Leerink ATM Program). As of June 30, 2025, no shares of common stock had been sold under the Leerink ATM Program. We intend to use proceeds obtained from the sale of shares under the Leerink ATM Program, if any, for general corporate purposes.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Our net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 decreased by $85.2 million from the six months ended June 30, 2024, largely as a result of the $110.0 million up-front fee received from Nippon Shinyaku in March 2025. We expect to continue to incur regular net cash outflows from operations for the foreseeable future as we continue the development and advancement of our product candidates and other research programs.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, our net cash used in operating activities of $15.7 million consisted of a net loss of $64.8 million, offset by favorable changes in operating assets and liabilities of $24.0 million and adjustments for non-cash items of $25.1 million. The changes in operating assets and liabilities include an increase in deferred revenue of $37.7 million, which was driven primarily by the deferred portion of the $110.0 million up-front payment received under our collaboration with Nippon Shinyaku in the first quarter of 2025. The favorable changes in operating assets and liabilities were partially offset by an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $7.3 million, which was driven primarily by an increase in net cost reimbursement due from AbbVie under our ABBV-RGX-314 collaboration and increases in prepaid clinical trial services and software licenses. Other changes in operating working capital occurred in the normal course of business. Adjustments for non-cash items primarily consisted of stock-based compensation expense of $17.2 million and depreciation and amortization expense of $7.9 million.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, our net cash used in operating activities of $101.0 million consisted of a net loss of $116.3 million and unfavorable changes in operating assets and liabilities of $12.2 million, offset by adjustments for non-cash items of $27.6 million. The changes in operating assets and liabilities include a decrease in total accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $14.0 million, which was driven largely by decreases in accrued sublicense fees, royalties and personnel-related expenses. Other changes in operating working capital occurred in the normal course of business. Adjustments for non-cash items primarily consisted of stock-based compensation expense of $19.0 million and depreciation and amortization expense of $8.2 million.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, our net cash used in investing activities consisted of $230.3 million used to purchase marketable debt securities and $1.4 million used to purchase property and equipment, offset by $136.0 million in maturities of marketable debt securities.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, our net cash provided by investing activities consisted of $151.7 million in maturities of marketable debt securities, offset by $137.7 million used to purchase marketable debt securities and $1.0 million used to purchase property and equipment.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, our net cash provided by financing activities primarily consisted of $144.5 million in proceeds received from the issuance of the 2025 Royalty Bond and warrants to HCR in May 2025, net of discounts and transaction costs paid during the period, and was partially offset by $10.9 million of royalties paid, net of interest, under our royalty monetization liabilities.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, our net cash provided by financing activities primarily consisted of $131.4 million in proceeds received from the public offering of common stock and pre-funded warrants completed in March 2024, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses paid during the period, and $1.5 million in proceeds received from the exercise of stock options and issuance of common stock under our employee stock purchase plan. Our net cash provided by financing activities was partially offset by $20.5 million of royalties paid, net of interest, under our royalty monetization liabilities.
Additional Capital Requirements
Our material capital requirements from known contractual and other obligations primarily relate to our vendor service contracts and purchase commitments, in-license agreements, operating lease agreements and royalty monetization liabilities. Our material commitments and obligations are further described in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Other than the changes described in the notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements accompanying this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including Note 7, "Royalty Monetization Liabilities," and Note 8, “Commitments and Contingencies,” there have been no material changes to our commitments and obligations since December 31, 2024.
Future Funding Requirements
We have incurred cumulative losses since our inception and had an accumulated deficit of $996.9 million as of June 30, 2025. Our transition to recurring profitability is dependent upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support our cost structure, which depends heavily on the successful development, approval and commercialization of our product candidates. We do not expect to achieve such revenues, and expect to continue to incur losses, for at least the next several years. We expect to continue to incur significant research and development and general and administrative expenses for the foreseeable future as we continue the development of, and seek regulatory approval for, our product candidates. Subject to obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses for product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution. Additionally, we expect to continue to incur capital expenditures associated with building out additional laboratory and manufacturing capacity to further support the development of our product candidates and potential commercialization efforts. As a result, we will need significant additional capital to fund our operations, which we may obtain through one or more equity offerings, debt financings or other third-party funding, including potential strategic alliances and licensing or collaboration arrangements.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
42
Table of Contents
The issuance of additional securities, whether equity or debt, by us, including through our at-the-market program, or the possibility of such issuance, may cause the market price of our common stock to decline. Adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. We also could be required to seek funds through arrangements with partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to our intellectual property, our product candidates or otherwise agree to terms unfavorable to us.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
For information regarding market risk, refer to Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no material changes to our exposure to market risk during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

Table of Contents
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Control systems, no matter how well conceived and operated, are designed to provide a reasonable, but not an absolute, level of assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in any control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
