Synlogic (OTC: SYBX) Q1 profit rises on $1.9M warrant gain

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Synlogic, Inc. reported no revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 but posted net income of $681,000, up from $317,000 a year earlier, mainly due to a non-cash $1.9 million gain from remeasuring purchase warrant liabilities.

Operating expenses were modest at $1.3 million, reflecting its status as a shell company following the 2024 shutdown of its lead PKU trial and broad restructuring to one full-time employee. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $14.1 million, and management believes this will fund operations for at least 12 months. The company’s shares were delisted from Nasdaq and now trade on the OTC marketplace, and a previously disclosed material weakness in internal controls remains unresolved as Synlogic actively pursues strategic alternatives, including a possible merger or sale.

Insights

Biotech equity analyst

Shell-stage biotech posts small profit from warrant revaluation.

Synlogic is now effectively a public shell after halting its PKU program and restructuring to one employee. Q1 2026 net income of $681,000 came entirely from non-cash items, notably a $1.9 million gain on warrant liabilities, with no operating revenue.

Operating expenses of $1.3 million reflect mainly public-company and consulting costs while management evaluates strategic alternatives, including merger or sale scenarios. Cash and equivalents of $14.1 million and an accumulated deficit of $442.0 million underscore the lack of an operating business.

The company believes current cash can support reduced operations for at least 12 months from the filing date. Shares have moved from Nasdaq to the OTC marketplace, and a previously identified material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is still in place pending further testing of remediation steps.

Key Terms

6 terms

public shell financial

"we believe that we are a “public shell” under the Nasdaq rules."

A public shell is a company that is already listed on a stock exchange but has little or no business activity or assets—think of it as an empty storefront with a legal listing. Investors should care because another business can quickly become public by combining with that shell, which can speed growth but also brings risks like limited operating history, possible hidden liabilities, and greater need for careful due diligence before investing.

purchase warrant liability financial

"Change in fair value of purchase warrant liability | | 1,872"

going concern financial

"financial statements have been prepared assuming it will continue as a going concern."

A going concern is a business that is expected to continue its operations and meet its obligations for the foreseeable future, rather than shutting down or selling off assets. This assumption matters to investors because it indicates stability and ongoing profitability, making the business a more reliable investment. Think of it as believing a restaurant will stay open and serve customers, rather than closing down suddenly.

OTC Marketplace financial

"price for shares of our common stock given that they are currently quoted on the OTC Marketplace"

material weakness financial

"management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting"

A material weakness is a significant flaw in the systems and checks a company uses to ensure its financial reports are accurate, meaning errors or fraud could happen and not be caught. For investors it matters because it raises the risk that reported results are unreliable—similar to finding a hole in a ship’s hull—potentially leading to corrected financials, regulatory action, reduced trust, and negative effects on stock value and borrowing costs.

SYNLOGIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

(1)Nature of Business

Organization

Synlogic, Inc., together with its wholly owned and consolidated subsidiaries (Synlogic or the Company), is a biopharmaceutical company that previously advanced novel therapeutics to transform the care of serious diseases. The Company focused on rare metabolic disorders, with its lead program, labafenogene marselecobac (SYNB1934), studied in Synpheny-3, a global, pivotal Phase 3 study for patients with phenylketonuria (PKU), and SYNB1353, a potential treatment for homocystinuria (HCU). Both PKU and HCU are caused by inborn errors of metabolism, and present significant need for innovation due to limitations of both efficacy and safety in the currently available medical treatment options. Since incorporation, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to the research and development of its product candidates.

In February 2024, the Company and its board of directors decided to discontinue the Synpheny-3 trial and to conduct a comprehensive review of strategic alternatives. The Company also announced a corporate restructuring that resulted in a reduction in its workforce, leaving one remaining full-time employee. In addition, the Company has engaged consultants to, among other things, support the strategic review process and current business operations. (see Note 6, Restructuring and Other Charges in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

Going Concern and Liquidity

The Company’s interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming it will continue as a going concern. The going concern assumption contemplates the continuity of operations, and the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company has historically generated negative cash flows from operations and has an accumulated deficit of $442.0 million at March 31, 2026. At March 31, 2026, the Company had $14.1 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. Following the execution of the corporate restructuring, the Company has determined its current cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026 will be sufficient to fund its operations at the current levels for at least the next 12 months from the date of this filing. As the Company continues to review strategic alternatives, the Company will continue to incur costs and expenditures in connection with the process of evaluating strategic alternatives.

(2)Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies described in the Company’s audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 12, 2026 (the 2025 Annual Report), have had no material changes during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures as of March 31, 2026 and for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2025 and 2024 audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the 2025 Annual Report. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all disclosures including notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026 or any other interim period or future year or period.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Synlogic and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other accounting standard setting boards that the Company adopts as of the effective date. Unless otherwise discussed below, recently issued pronouncements that are or will be applicable to the Company did not have, or are not expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

(3) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The tables below present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value, as described under Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the audited financial statements included in the 2025 Annual Report.

The Company’s investment portfolio includes many fixed income securities that do not always trade on a daily basis. As a result, the pricing services used by the Company applied other available information as applicable through processes such as benchmark yields, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing to prepare evaluations. In addition, model processes were used to assess interest rate impact and develop prepayment scenarios. These models take into consideration relevant credit information, perceived market movements, sector news and economic events. The inputs into these models may include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads and other relevant data.

The Company accounts for issued warrants either as derivative liabilities or as equity instruments depending on the specific terms of the agreement. Warrants that are equity-classified instruments and recorded in additional paid-in capital at issuance are not subject to remeasurement. The purchase warrants (defined below) issued in October 2023 are liability classified and recorded at fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model at issuance, with any subsequent changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). We periodically evaluate changes in facts and circumstances that could impact the classification of warrants. None of the purchase warrants have been exercised since their issuance.

At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company has classified assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as follows (in thousands):

		Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
		March 31,				Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets				Significant Other Observable Inputs				Significant Unobservable Inputs

(6) Restructuring and Other Charges

In February 2024, the Company and its board of directors decided to discontinue the Synpheny-3 trial and as a result are currently evaluating strategic options for the Company with a goal to enhance stockholder value, including the possibility of a merger or sale of the Company.

The Company also announced a corporate restructuring that included a reduction in its workforce, leaving one remaining full-time employee. In addition, the Company has engaged consultants, to, among other things, support the strategic review process and current business operations.

As of March 31, 2026, approximately $0.8 million of the total restructuring charges remain unpaid and were included in accrued restructuring charges. These charges primarily consist of personnel costs related to severance expense and retention bonuses.

(7) Stockholders’ Equity

October 2023 Financing

On October 3, 2023, the Company issued and sold in an underwritten public offering:

•3,921,928 shares of its common stock at a price of $2.84 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions;

7

•pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 3,472,435 shares of its common stock at a price of $2.839 exercisable immediately following the consummation of the offering; and

•accompanying common stock warrants (the “purchase warrants”) to purchase up to 7,394,363 shares of its common stock at a price of $3.408 per share that are exercisable immediately after issuance and expire five years from the date of issuance.

For a full description of the Company’s October 2023 Financing, refer to Note 8, Stockholders' Equity in the audited financial statements included in the 2025 Annual Report.

At March 31, 2026, the fair value of the purchase warrants was $0.7 million. Accordingly, a gain on remeasurement of the purchase warrant liability of $1.9 million was recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2026. Subsequent to their issuance and as of March 31, 2026, 2,920,126 pre-funded warrants have been exercised. None of the purchase warrants have been exercised since their issuance.

Ginkgo Warrants

In June 2019, the Company issued to Ginkgo an aggregate of 422,718 shares of common stock at a purchase price per share of $135, and pre-funded warrants (the Ginkgo pre-funded warrants) to purchase up to an aggregate of 169,874 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $135 per share, with $134.85 of such exercise price paid at the closing of the offering. The net proceeds to the Company were approximately $79.9 million. None of the Ginkgo pre-funded warrants have been exercised as of March 31, 2026.

For a full description of the Ginkgo warrants, refer to Note 8, Stockholders' Equity in the audited financial statements included in the 2025 Annual Report.

The Company has reserved for future issuance the following shares of common stock related to the potential exercise of warrants and stock options:

	March 31, 2026
Common stock issuable under pre-funded warrants		552,309
Common stock issuable under purchase warrants		7,394,363
Common stock issuable under Ginkgo pre-funded warrants		169,874
Options exercisable to purchase common stock		211,780
Total		8,328,326

(8) Equity-based Compensation

On January 1, 2026, the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2025 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the 2025 Plan) was increased by 467,956 shares due to the annual evergreen provision to increase shares available under the 2025 Plan. As of March 31, 2026, there were an aggregate of 1,506,677 shares available for future grant under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2017 Plan) and the 2025 Plan.

The following table summarizes equity‑based compensation expense within the Company’s interim unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands):

		Three Months Ended March 31,
		2026				2025
Research and development		$	—			$	—
General and administrative			10				25
Restructuring charges: expense acceleration			—				—
		$	10			$	25

The following table summarizes equity‑based compensation expense by type of award for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands):

		Three Months Ended March 31,
		2026				2025
Stock options		$	6			$	14
Restricted stock awards			4				11
		$	10			$	25

8

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company did not grant any stock options. As of March 31, 2026, there was $0.01 million of unrecognized share-based compensation related to unvested stock option grants which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.80 years. The total unrecognized share-based compensation cost will be adjusted for actual forfeitures as they occur.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company did not grant any restricted stock awards. As of March 31, 2026, there was approximately $2 thousand of unrecognized share-based compensation related to restricted stock awards granted, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.0 years. The total unrecognized share-based compensation cost will be adjusted for actual forfeitures as they occur.

For a full description of the Company’s equity plans, refer to Note 9, Equity-based Compensation and Equity Incentive Plans in the audited financial statements included in the 2025 Annual Report.

(9) Net Income per Share

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. In computing diluted net income per share, the sum of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period is used and only when their effect is dilutive, the weighted-average number of potential shares of common stock are included. In June 2019, the Company sold 422,718 shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate of 169,874 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $135 per share, with $134.85 of such exercise price paid at the closing of the offering (see Note 8, Stockholders' Equity, in the audited financial statements included in the 2025 Annual Report). The shares of common stock into which the warrants may be exercised are considered outstanding for the purposes of computing net loss per share.

Basic and diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were calculated as follows (in thousands, except share and per share data):

		Three Months Ended March 31,
		2026				2025
Numerator:
Net income (loss)		$	681			$	317
Denominator:
Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding			12,394,912				12,283,543
Effect of dilutive securities			3,613				105,052
Diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding			12,398,525				12,388,595
Basic and Diluted EPS		$	0.05			$	0.03

The following potential shares of common stock, presented based on amounts outstanding at each period end, were excluded from the calculation of the diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the period indicated, because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect.

		As of March 31,
		2026				2025
Purchase warrants			7,394,363				7,394,363
Outstanding options to purchase common stock			234,349				323,983
			7,628,712				7,718,346

(10) Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation as the Company operates in an industry susceptible to patent legal claims. The Company accounts for estimated losses with respect to legal proceedings and claims when such losses are probable and estimable. Legal costs associated with these matters are expensed when incurred. The Company is not currently a party to any material legal proceedings.

The Company’s commitments described in the Company’s audited financial statements included in the 2025 Annual Report have had no material changes during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

9

(11) Income Taxes

The Company did not record an income tax benefit in its interim unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 as it is more likely than not that the Company will not recognize the federal and state deferred tax benefits generated by its losses. The Company has provided a valuation allowance for the full amount of its net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, as management has determined it is more likely than not that any future benefit from deductible temporary differences and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards would not be realized. The Company did not record any amounts for unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was enacted in the United States. The OBBBA includes significant changes to federal tax law and other regulatory provisions, with certain provisions becoming effective in 2025. The Company has considered the enacted tax law changes in its forecasted annual effective tax rate. Adjustments to deferred tax assets and liabilities as a result of the tax law changes do not impact the Company’s deferred tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

(12) Segment Information

Operating segments are defined 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 principal executive officer (PEO) is the CODM. The Company operates in one operating segment; discovery and development of Synthetic Biotics.

The CODM manages and allocates resources to the operations of the Company on a total company basis by assessing the overall level of resources available and how to best deploy these resources across functions and research and development projects that are in line with long-term company-wide strategic goals. In making these decisions, the PEO uses consolidated financial information for purposes of evaluating performance, forecasting future period financial results, allocating resources and setting incentive targets. The CODM performs this assessment based on the Company's consolidated net income (loss) that is reported on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Through this analysis, the CODM assesses performance by comparing actual consolidated net income (loss) versus the budget, and then decides how to allocate resources to invest in the Company's research and development programs. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total assets. In addition, research and development, general and administrative expenses, and restructuring charges are significant segment expenses regularly provided to the PEO with the following categories (in thousands):

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Forward-Looking Information

The interim financial statements and this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read together with our audited financial statements and accompanying notes for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 12, 2026, as amended on April 30, 2026 (the “2025 Annual Report”). In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Please see “Risk Factors” beginning on page 18 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of certain risk factors applicable to our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Operating results are not necessarily indicative of results that may occur for the full fiscal year or any other future period. On August 28, 2017, Synlogic, Inc., formerly known as Mirna Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: MIRN) (Mirna), completed a business combination with Synlogic, a private company, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of May 15, 2017 (the Merger Agreement), pursuant to which the private Synlogic entity survived as a wholly owned subsidiary of Mirna (the Merger). Immediately after completion of the Merger, Mirna changed its name to “Synlogic, Inc.” (NASDAQ: SYBX). Unless otherwise indicated, references to the terms the “combined company,” “Synlogic,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Synlogic, Inc. (formerly known as Mirna Therapeutics, Inc.) and its subsidiaries upon the consummation of the Merger described herein.

Overview

We are a biopharmaceutical company that previously advanced novel therapeutics to transform the care of serious diseases. We focused on rare metabolic disorders, with our lead program, labafenogene marselecobac (SYNB1934), studied in Synpheny-3, a global, pivotal Phase 3 study for patients with phenylketonuria (PKU), and SYNB1353, a potential treatment for homocystinuria (HCU). Both PKU and HCU are caused by inborn errors of metabolism, and present significant need for innovation due to limitations of both efficacy and safety in the currently available medical treatment options. In February 2024, we made the decision to discontinue Synpheny-3, our pivotal study of our lead product candidate, labafenogene marselecobac (SYNB1934), as a potential treatment for PKU. The decision to end Synpheny-3 is based on results of an internal review in advance of an upcoming independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) assessment, which indicated the trial was unlikely to meet its primary endpoint. The decision was not based on concerns regarding safety or tolerability. As a result, our current corporate strategy is focused on pursuing strategic initiatives to enhance stockholder value, including but not limited to, a merger or the sale of the Company. Our strategic process is both active and ongoing and includes a range of interactions with transaction counterparties. Thus, we believe it is in our stockholders’ best interest to allow sufficient opportunity to pursue and consummate one or more such transactions and to consider additional alternatives that may materialize in the future. However, there can be no assurance that such activities will result in any agreements or transactions that will enhance stockholder value. Further, any strategic transaction that is completed ultimately may not deliver the anticipated benefits or enhance stockholder value.

Nasdaq Delisting

On November 21, 2025, we received the Notice from the Staff of Nasdaq that stated the Staff’s belief that we were a “public shell” and that, therefore, the continued listing of its securities was no longer warranted in the view of the Staff. On January 16, 2026, we received notice from Nasdaq that our shares would be suspended at the open of business on January 21, 2026. The delisting became effective on January 21, 2026. The Company’s common stock is traded on the OTCID Basic Market, under the symbol “SYBX.”

Following the suspension of trading of our shares of common stock on Nasdaq and delisting of our shares of common stock from Nasdaq, we believe that we are a “public shell” under the Nasdaq rules. Our shares of common stock have been quoted on the OTC since January 21, 2026. As a shell company, our operating expenses have consisted primarily of, and we expect them to continue to consist primarily of, customary public company expenses, including personnel, accounting, financial reporting, legal, audit and other related public company costs.

Effects of Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our business or operating results during the periods presented. However, inflationary costs could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Increased inflation has had, and may continue to have, an effect on interest rates. Increased interest rates may adversely affect our borrowing rate and our ability to obtain, or the terms under which we can obtain, any potential additional funding.

Financial Overview

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense consists of expenses incurred in connection with the discovery and development of our product candidates, which are expensed as they are incurred.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation, benefits and other employee-related expenses. Other general and administrative costs include the legal costs of pursuing patent protection of our intellectual property, information technology infrastructure costs, directors’ and officers’ insurance, and professional fees for accounting, tax, legal and consulting services. We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses may increase in the future as we explore strategic alternatives, including potential legal, accounting and advisory expenses and other related charges. We also anticipate that we will continue to incur accounting, legal, regulatory, compliance and directors' and officers' insurance costs as well as investor and public relations expenses associated with being a public company.

Restructuring and Other Charges

In February 2024, we made the decision to discontinue Synpheny-3, our pivotal study of our lead product candidate, labafenogene marselecobac (SYNB1934), as a potential treatment for PKU. As a result, we started to undertake certain operational and organizational steps in connection with a strategic reorganization plan and related cost-saving measures. We initiated a plan to review strategic alternatives in which we substantially reduced our operations and reduced the workforce, leaving one remaining full-time employee. In addition, the Company has engaged consultants, to, among other things, support the strategic review process and current business operations.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest and investment income consists of income earned on investments. Other income (expense) consists primarily of gains and losses on foreign currency invoices and gains and losses on remeasurement of the purchase warrant liability.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods and related disclosures.

Our critical accounting policies are described in our 2025 Annual Report. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, there were no new or material changes to our existing critical accounting policies. We believe that these identified policies are critical to fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations.

Our estimates and assumptions, including those related to warrants, are monitored and analyzed by us for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. The judgment regarding the inputs used to value liability-classified warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model involves a greater degree of judgment, and therefore we consider warrants to be our critical accounting policy. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe that this identified policy is critical to fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations.

Operating Expenses

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense was $0.05 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to research and development expenses of $0.02 million in the corresponding period in 2025, a change of $0.03 million. The increase was due to additional storage costs for product candidates.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense was $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $0.8 million for the corresponding period in 2025. The increase was primarily due to increased professional services costs.

Restructuring and Other Charges

In February 2024, the Company and its board of directors decided to discontinue the Synpheny-3 trial and to conduct a comprehensive review of strategic alternatives. We also announced a corporate restructuring that resulted in a reduction in our workforce, leaving one remaining full-time employee. In addition, we have engaged consultants, to, among other things, support the strategic review process and current business operations. We recorded restructuring and other charges of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $0.04 million for the corresponding period in 2025. The increase was primarily due to increased legal and professional fees as we explore strategic alternatives.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income was $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to other income of $1.2 million for the corresponding period in 2025. The increase in other income of $0.8 million was primarily related to the change in fair value of the purchase warrants classified as liabilities on the interim unaudited consolidated balance sheet.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred losses since our inception on March 14, 2014 and as of March 31, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $442.0 million. We have financed our operations to date primarily through the sale of preferred stock, common stock, preferred units and warrants, payments received under prior collaboration agreements, interest earned on investments, and cash received in the Merger. At March 31, 2026, we had $14.1 million in cash and cash equivalents. Our cash and cash equivalents include amounts held in money market funds, stated at cost plus unrealized gains and losses, which approximates fair market value. We invest cash in excess of immediate requirements in accordance with our investment policy, which limits the amounts we may invest in any one type of investment and requires all investments held by us to maintain minimum ratings from Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations so as to primarily achieve liquidity and capital preservation.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance decreased by $0.6 million. This decrease was primarily due to the cash used to operate our business. In the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recorded restructuring charges in connection with the restructuring.

The following table sets forth the major sources and uses of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash for each of the periods below:

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash used in operating activities was $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The primary source of cash was our net income of $0.7 million, changes in our assets and liabilities of $0.6 million, offset by $1.9 million non-cash items primarily including the change in fair value of purchase warrants and equity-based compensation. The changes in our assets and liabilities include decreases in prepaid expenses and other current assets and increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Net cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash used in operating activities was $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The primary source of cash was our net income of $0.3 million, partially offset by changes in our assets and liabilities of $0.9 million, and $1.0 million non-cash items primarily including the change in fair value of purchase warrants, equity-based compensation, and gain on disposal of property and equipment. The changes in our assets and liabilities include decreases in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

There was no cash used in or provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $0.01 million and resulted primarily from the proceeds from sales of property and equipment.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

There was no cash used in or provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Funding Requirements

We currently expect our expenses to remain roughly the same in the near term following our decision to discontinue our Synpheny-3 clinical trial while we explore strategic alternatives. Pending the outcome of our review of strategic alternatives, we expect to incur additional costs in connection with such activities.

We have generated revenue from our prior collaborations, but have not generated any product revenue since our inception and do not expect to generate any product revenue. We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026 will be sufficient to fund our operations at the current levels for at least the next 12 months from the date of this filing.

Our funding requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, the following:

•the outcome, success, timing and cost of any strategic transactions, business combinations or divestiture;

•the costs of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights;

•the terms and timing of any additional collaborative, licensing or other arrangements that we may establish;

•the acquisition of businesses, products and technologies;

•our need to implement additional infrastructure and internal systems; and

•other risks and uncertainties, including those listed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our 2025 Annual Report.

Contractual Commitments and Obligations

There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations and commitments set forth under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Contractual Obligations and Commitments” in our 2025 Annual Report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

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

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Definition and limitations of disclosure controls

Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluates these controls and procedures on an ongoing basis.

There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. These limitations include the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures and reasonable resource constraints. In addition, because we have designed our system of controls based on certain assumptions, which we believe are reasonable, about the likelihood of future events, our system of controls may not achieve its desired purpose under all possible future conditions. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures provide reasonable assurance, but not absolute assurance, of achieving their objectives.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, it was determined that due to the material weakness described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Additionally, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive and Principal Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Material Weakness

As previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, while preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. As described in the 2025 Annual Report, management has designed a plan and is prepared to execute remediation actions to address the material weakness, however we have not had an instance of a significant and non-routine transaction in order to test the effectiveness of the remediation actions taken to date. As a result, the material weakness continues to be present as of March 31, 2026. The material weakness cannot be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

Changes in Internal Control

There have not been any changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation of such internal control that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

FAQ

How did Synlogic (SYBX) perform financially in Q1 2026?

Synlogic reported net income of $681,000 for Q1 2026, compared with $317,000 a year earlier. The improvement was driven by a $1.9 million non-cash gain from remeasuring purchase warrant liabilities, while the company generated no revenue and remained a shell entity.

What is Synlogic’s (SYBX) cash position and runway as of March 31, 2026?

Synlogic held $14.1 million in cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2026. Management believes this balance, after its restructuring, will be sufficient to fund operations for at least 12 months from the filing date while it evaluates strategic alternatives.

Why is Synlogic (SYBX) considered a public shell and where is its stock traded?

After discontinuing its lead PKU trial and drastically reducing operations, Synlogic describes itself as a public shell under Nasdaq rules. Its common stock was delisted from Nasdaq in January 2026 and is now quoted on the OTC marketplace under the symbol SYBX.

What drove Synlogic’s other income in Q1 2026?

Other income totaled $2.0 million in Q1 2026, primarily from a $1.9 million gain related to the change in fair value of liability-classified purchase warrants. Interest and investment income contributed an additional $128,000, offsetting the company’s modest operating expenses.

What are Synlogic’s (SYBX) main operating expenses as a shell company?

In Q1 2026, Synlogic recorded $1.3 million in operating expenses, including $49,000 of research and development, $1.1 million of general and administrative costs, and $206,000 of restructuring and related charges. These costs mainly reflect public-company and advisory expenses during its strategic review.

Does Synlogic (SYBX) have any material weaknesses in internal controls?

Yes. Synlogic previously identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to significant, non-routine transactions. Remediation steps have been designed but not fully tested, so the material weakness remained in place as of March 31, 2026.

What strategic alternatives is Synlogic (SYBX) considering?

Synlogic states that it is actively pursuing strategic alternatives to enhance stockholder value, including a possible merger or sale of the company. Management notes that discussions with potential counterparties are ongoing, but there is no assurance any transaction will be completed or prove beneficial.
