Tyra Biosciences (TYRA) berichtete in seinem Quartalsbericht über die Kapitalstruktur, jüngste Aktiengeschäfte, Verfügbarkeit des Aktienplans, Kostentreiber und Entwicklungsrisiken. Zum 30. Juni 2025 waren 53.233.494 Aktien ausgegeben und ausstehend, gegenüber 50.754.262 ausgegebenen und 50.749.945 ausstehenden Aktien zum 31. Dezember 2024. Ein Sales Agreement aus 2022 wurde im Mai 2025 beendet, ohne dass Aktien verkauft wurden; unter einem 2025er Sales Agreement waren bis zum 30. Juni 2025 ebenfalls keine Aktien verkauft worden. RA Capital tauschte 1.000.000 Aktien gegen vorausbezahlte Warrants, die zu $0,001 je Aktie ausübbar sind; der Tausch wurde am 22. Oktober 2024 abgeschlossen, und die Warrants werden im Eigenkapital ausgewiesen. Zum 30. Juni 2025 standen unter dem 2021-Plan 5.189.786 Aktien für künftige Zuteilungen zur Verfügung und im ESPP blieben 1.972.762 Aktien zum Kauf übrig, wobei der Kaufpreis 85% des jeweils niedrigeren der beiden Stichtage beträgt. Das Unternehmen meldete Kostensteigerungen: $4,1 Mio. und $9,6 Mio. durch klinischen Start und CMC-Aktivitäten sowie Erhöhungen von $2,4 Mio. und $4,5 Mio. bei Vergütungs- und Personalkosten (darunter $1,0 Mio. bzw. $2,2 Mio. höhere aktienbasierte Vergütung), teilweise ausgeglichen durch $0,2 Mio. geringere Gebäudekosten. Die Einreichung listet zahlreiche Entwicklungs-, regulatorische, operative und geopolitische Risiken auf, die Zeitpläne, Kosten und Kommerzialisierungsaussichten beeinflussen könnten.
- Exchange Warrants classified in stockholders' equity, avoiding liability treatment for the RA Capital transaction.
- 5,189,786 shares available for future grants under the 2021 Plan and 1,972,762 shares available under the ESPP, supporting employee incentives and retention.
- ESPP purchase price at 85% of lower of offering or purchase date, providing a favorable employee purchase benefit.
- Increased operating costs: $4.1 million and $9.6 million increases driven by clinical start-up, enrollment and CMC activities, indicating higher near-term cash burn.
- Higher compensation expenses: increases of $2.4 million and $4.5 million, including $1.0 million and $2.2 million in additional stock-based compensation, adding to operating expense pressure.
- Termination of the 2022 Sales Agreement in May 2025 and no shares sold under the 2025 Sales Agreement as of June 30, 2025, which may limit near-term financing flexibility from those facilities.
Insights
TL;DR Rise in R&D and personnel costs signals higher near-term cash burn; equity transactions preserved balance sheet flexibility.
The filing discloses specific increases in development spending—notably $4.1 million and $9.6 million tied to clinical start-up, enrollment and CMC—and material increases in compensation expense including stock-based compensation. These items indicate accelerating operational spending consistent with advancing multiple clinical programs (BEACH301, SURF302, SURF431). The exchange of 1,000,000 shares for pre-funded warrants that are equity-classified avoids immediate dilution from a liability-classified instrument but reflects capitalization activity. Termination of the 2022 Sales Agreement removes a prior potential financing avenue; the 2025 Sales Agreement had not produced sales as of June 30, 2025. For investors, the key implications are higher near-term funding needs driven by trial activity and continued dependence on equity financing choices.
TL;DR Equity plan capacity and ESPP remain available, while governance treatment of warrants favors shareholders' equity presentation.
The company retains 5,189,786 shares available under the 2021 equity incentive plan and nearly two million shares under the ESPP with a 15% payroll withholding limit and 85% purchase pricing feature. The Exchange Warrants were reviewed and classified within stockholders' equity, indicating they did not meet liability or derivative criteria under applicable accounting standards. The disclosure of share authorizations and outstanding counts is clear; the termination of a prior sales agreement and lack of draws under a newer agreement should be monitored as governance-level financing strategy. Overall, governance disclosures are standard and provide useful detail on dilution mechanisms and employee participation programs.

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Basis of Presentation
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, there have been no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures cash equivalents and available-for-sale debt securities at fair value. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Therefore, fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Fair value is affected by a number of factors, including the type of asset or liability, the characteristics specific to the asset or liability and the state of the marketplace, including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the accounting guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3—Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e. supported by little or no market activity).
7
Money market funds are highly liquid investments and are classified as Level 1. The pricing information for these assets is readily available and can be independently validated as of the measurement date. Available-for-sale debt securities, including U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. Agency bonds are classified as Level 2. These securities are valued using fair value from third-party pricing services, which may use observable inputs based on real-time trade data for similar assets, broker/dealer quotes, bids and/or offers and other observable inputs. The Company validates valuations obtained from third-party pricing services by understanding the models used and obtaining market values from independent sources.
Marketable Securities
Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company regularly reviews its portfolio for declines in fair value. For investments in an unrealized loss position, the Company assesses whether the decline is based on credit losses or other factor. As part of this assessment, the Company considers the cause of the impairment, the creditworthiness of the security issuers, current market conditions, the number of securities in an unrealized loss position, the severity of the losses, whether it will be required or will intend to sell the investment before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If fair value decline is determined to be due to a credit-related factor, the amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through net loss. If fair value decline is not due to credit-related factors, a loss is recorded in other comprehensive income or loss. The Company recognizes an allowance for credit losses up to the amount of the unrealized loss when appropriate.
We do not measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivables. For the purposes of identifying and measuring an impairment, accrued interest is excluded from both the fair value and amortized costs basis of the investment. Uncollectible accrued interest receivables associated with an impaired marketable security are reversed against interest income in a timely manner upon identification of the impairment.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash is comprised of cash that is restricted as to its withdrawal or use under the terms of certain contractual agreements. Restricted cash as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $
Net Loss Per Share
8
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company recognizes a liability with regard to loss contingencies when it believes it is probable a liability has been incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If some amount within a range of loss appears at the time to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the Company accrues that amount. When no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount the Company accrues the minimum amount in the range.
Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” ASU 2023-09 requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for public entities with annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on its financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses". In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date", to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. These amendments are intended to provide more information about certain costs and expenses on an interim and annual basis. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The new standards are expected to be applied prospectively, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its financial statements and related disclosures.

2021 Incentive Award Plan
In September 2021, the Company's Board of Directors adopted, and its stockholders approved, the 2021 Incentive Award Plan (the 2021 Plan). Upon the adoption of the 2021 Plan, the Company restricted the grant of future equity awards under the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2020 Plan).
The 2021 Plan provides for the grants of stock options and other equity-based awards to employees, non-employee directors, and consultants of the Company. Shares that expire, terminate or are cancelled under the 2020 Plan are added back to the 2021 Plan share reserve. In addition, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance under the 2021 Plan automatically increases on the first day of each fiscal year, beginning with the Company’s 2022 fiscal year, in an amount equal to the lesser of (1)

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In September 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted, and its stockholders approved, the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP).
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
The Company estimated the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Company accounts for forfeitures of options when they occur. Previously recognized compensation expense for an award is reversed in the period that the award is forfeited.

11. Subsequent Events
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was signed into law, which enacts significant changes to U.S. tax and related laws. The OBBBA includes provisions modifying the corporate income tax code, including the immediate expensing of domestic research and development expenditures for tax purposes and one hundred percent bonus depreciation for qualified assets. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the new tax law will have on its financial condition and results of operations. Preliminarily, the Company does not anticipate a material change to its effective income tax rate and its net deferred federal income tax assets as the Company maintains a full valuation allowance.

Overview
We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing next-generation precision medicines for large opportunities in targeted oncology and genetically defined conditions, with an initial focus on Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor (FGFR) biology.
Our in-house precision medicine platform, SNÅP, enables rapid and precise drug design through iterative molecular SNÅPshots that help us design and predict which product candidates may demonstrate the highest potency, selectivity and tolerability in the clinic. We have initially leveraged our SNÅP approach to develop dabogratinib (formerly TYRA-300), TYRA-430 and TYRA-200: three clinical-stage, novel small molecules designed to overcome the toxicity and resistance liabilities of first generation pan-FGFR inhibitors.
Our FGFR3 Programs - Dabogratinib for Bladder Cancer and Skeletal Conditions
Mutations in the protein receptor FGFR3 are a key driver in two indications with large market opportunities: bladder cancer and skeletal conditions. In bladder cancer, uncontrolled activation of FGFR3 on the cell surface stimulates cellular proliferation. In skeletal conditions, increased activity of FGFR3 expressed in growth plate chondrocytes (cartilage cells) results in excessive limitation of long bone growth.
17
Our lead program, dabogratinib, was designed to be more selective for FGFR3 over FGFR1, FGFR2, and FGFR4 to minimize off-target side effects, providing potential clinical advantages over less selective first-generation compounds and potentially addressing key unmet needs across both bladder cancer and skeletal conditions.
The current planned clinical development for dabogratinib includes Phase 2 clinical studies for the treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (SURF302) and the treatment of pediatric achondroplasia (BEACH301) and potentially for the treatment of metastatic urothelial carcinoma (SURF301).
BEACH301: This study is an open-label, Phase 2 dose-escalation/dose-expansion trial evaluating dabogratinib at lower doses (0.125, 0.25, 0.375, 0.50 mg/kg) in children ages 3 to 10 with achondroplasia (ACH) with open growth plates. Prior to initiation of the first two cohorts, the study has commenced enrolling a safety sentinel cohort of up to 3 participants per dose level in children ages 5 to 10. We expect to dose the first child in this study in the third quarter of 2025.
SURF302: This study is an open-label Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of dabogratinib in participants with FGFR3-altered low-grade, intermediate risk (IR) non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). The study will enroll up to 90 participants at multiple sites primarily in the United States. Participants will be randomized initially to treatment with dabogratinib at 50 mg once daily (QD) (Cohort 1) or treatment with dabogratinib at 60 mg QD (Cohort 2). Following a review of efficacy and safety, an additional dosing cohort may be evaluated. The primary endpoint is complete response (CR) rate at three months. Secondary endpoints include time to recurrence, the median duration of response, recurrence free survival, progression free survival, safety and tolerability. We dosed the first patient in this study in June 2025. We expect to report initial three-month CR data in the first half of 2026.
SURF301: This ongoing study is an international, multicenter, open-label Phase 1/2 clinical trial that was designed to determine the optimal and maximum tolerated doses (MTD), and the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of dabogratinib, as well as to evaluate the preliminary antitumor activity of dabogratinib. In late October 2024, we reported interim data that in patients with FGFR3+ metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) who received doses ≥ 90 mg once daily (QD), 6 out of 11 (54.5%) patients achieved a confirmed partial response. Preliminary data, as of the August 15, 2024 data cutoff, suggested dabogratinib was generally well-tolerated, with infrequent FGFR2- and FGFR1-associated toxicities. Dose optimization is ongoing in this study in preparation for potential future Phase 2 studies.
Our FGF19+ Program - TYRA-430 for Hepatocellular Carcinoma
FGF19 is a post-prandial enterohepatic hormone that signals through FGFR4 and its associated co-receptor Klotho Beta (KLB) to exert its normal cellular functions. In certain cancers, FGF19 is aberrantly expressed due to focal chromosomal amplifications or epigenetic mechanisms, promoting tumor cells to become dependent on the FGFR4/KLB/FGF19 oncogenic axis. Recent insights into FGF/FGFR signaling in HCC have indicated an important bypass mechanism in FGFR3, which shares the Klotho Beta coreceptor.
TYRA-430 was designed to be biased for FGFR4 and FGFR3 over the FGFR1 and FGFR2 isoforms specifically to address the FGF19 signaling pathway, while also potentially limiting side effects due to inhibition of FGFR1 and FGFR2, as well as to address acquired resistance mutations that have limited the efficacy of previous FGFR4-specific inhibitors. TYRA-430 is currently being evaluated in a global Phase 1 multicenter, open-label study, SURF431, that is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of TYRA-430 and determine the maximum tolerated dose and recommended Phase 2 dose, as well as evaluate the preliminary antitumor activity of TYRA-430. TYRA-430 is initially being studied in advanced HCC and other solid tumors with activating FGF/FGFR pathway aberrations. In April 2025, we commenced patient dosing in this study.
Our FGFR2 Program - TYRA-200 for Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma
FGFR2 is a protein receptor present on the cell surface that promotes cellular proliferation and transformation upon binding of fibroblast growth factor. Activating gene alterations of FGFR2 have been implicated in the tumorigenesis of multiple solid tumor types, with pan-FGFR inhibitors approved for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC).
TYRA-200 is an FGFR1/2/3 inhibitor designed to be active against nearly all of the clinically identified acquired resistant mutations that arise during treatment with pan-FGFR inhibitors, which we believe is necessary to
18
address the problem of disease progression due to polyclonal resistance. TYRA-200 is currently being evaluated in a multicenter, open-label Phase 1 clinical study, SURF201 that is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of TYRA-200, determine the optimal dose for further development and the MTD and RP2D, and evaluate preliminary antitumor activity, with a focus on achieving proof-of-concept in a cohort of FGFR2-driven ICC resistant to previous FGFR inhibitors.
Financial Overview
Since the commencement of our operations in 2018, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to organizing and staffing the company, business planning, raising capital, developing our proprietary SNÅP platform, undertaking research and development activities for our development programs, establishing our intellectual property portfolio, and providing general and administrative support for our operations. We have not generated any revenue to date and have funded our operations primarily from our initial public offering (IPO), private placements of our convertible preferred stock, the issuance of Simple Agreements for Future Equity and the issuance of common stock and pre-funded common stock warrants through a private placement. Our net losses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were $56.2 million and $36.9 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $307.6 million. As of June 30, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $296.3 million.
We have incurred significant operating losses since inception. Our net losses may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year, depending on the timing of our clinical development activities, other research and development activities and capital expenditures. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future particularly if and as we conduct preclinical studies and clinical trials, continue our research and development activities, utilize third parties to manufacture our product candidates and related raw materials, hire additional personnel, expand and protect our intellectual property, and incur additional costs associated with being a public company.
Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of June 30, 2025 will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditures through at least 2027. We have never generated any revenue and do not expect to generate any revenue from product sales unless and until we successfully complete the development of and obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates, which will not be for several years, if ever. In addition, if we obtain regulatory approval for any of our product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution. Accordingly, until we can generate significant revenue from sales of our product candidates, if ever, we expect to finance our cash needs through equity offerings, debt financings or other capital sources, including potential collaborations, licenses and other similar arrangements. However, we may not be able to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed or on favorable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital or enter into such arrangements when needed, we could be forced to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our research and development programs or future commercialization efforts, or grant rights to develop and market our product candidates even if we would otherwise prefer to develop and market such product candidates ourselves.

We expense research and development expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. External expenses are recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using information provided to us by our service providers or our estimate of the level of service that has been performed at each reporting date. We track external expenses on a development program and other program-specific basis. However, we do not track internal costs, such as personnel-related expenses, stock-based compensation expense, facility-related costs, and supplies, and certain external consultant costs on a program-specific basis because these costs are primarily deployed across multiple programs under development.
Research and development activities are central to our business model. There are numerous factors associated with the successful development of any of our product candidates, including future trial design and various regulatory requirements, many of which cannot be determined with accuracy at this time based on our stage of development. In addition, future regulatory factors beyond our control may impact our clinical development programs. Product candidates in later stages of development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of development. As a result, we expect that our research and development expenses will increase substantially over the next several years as we advance our product candidates through preclinical studies into and through clinical trials, continue to discover and develop additional product candidates and expand our pipeline, maintain, expand, protect and enforce our intellectual property portfolio, and hire additional personnel.
Our future research and development expenses may vary significantly based on a wide variety of factors, such as:
20
A change in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of any of our product candidates could significantly change the costs and timing associated with the development of that product candidate.
The process of conducting the necessary preclinical and clinical research to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time-consuming. The actual probability of success for our product candidates or any future candidates may be affected by a variety of factors. We may never succeed in achieving regulatory approval for any of our product candidates or any future candidates.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses, including employee salaries, bonuses, benefits, and stock-based compensation charges for personnel in executive, finance and other administrative functions. Other significant general and administrative expenses include legal fees relating to intellectual property and corporate matters, allocated facility-related costs, professional fees for accounting, tax, business development and consulting services and insurance costs. We expect our general and administrative expenses will increase for the foreseeable future to support our increased research and development activities, manufacturing activities, and the increased costs associated with operating as a public company. These increased costs will likely include increased expenses related to hiring additional personnel, audit, legal, regulatory and tax-related services associated with maintaining compliance with exchange listing and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requirements, director and officer insurance costs, and investor and public relations costs.
Other Income
Other income consists primarily of interest income from cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and accretion income from marketable securities.

Research and development expenses were $24.3 million and $18.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The overall increase of $6.3 million was primarily related to a:
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $7.1 million and $5.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase of $1.6 million was primarily related to higher compensation and other personnel expenses, including an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation costs of $0.9 million, driven by headcount growth.
22
Other Income
Other income was $3.4 million and $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease of $1.4 million was due to lower interest rates and reduced balances in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.

Research and development expenses were $49.3 million and $35.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The overall increase of $14.1 million was primarily related to a:
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $14.0 million and $10.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase of $3.3 million was primarily related to higher compensation and other personnel expenses, including an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation costs of $2.0 million, driven by headcount growth.
23
Other Income
Other income was $7.1 million and $9.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease of $1.9 million was due to lower interest rates and reduced balances in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
On February 6, 2024, we completed a private placement and issued 9,286,023 shares of our common stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate of 6,087,230 shares of our common stock (the 2024 Private Placement) for net proceeds of approximately $199.6 million, excluding issuance costs of $0.4 million.
On October 3, 2022, we entered into an ATM Sales Agreement (the 2022 Sales Agreement) with Virtu Americas LLC (the 2022 Sales Agent), under which we could have, from time to time, sold shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $150.0 million in “at the market” offerings through the 2022 Sales Agent. We did not sell any shares under the 2022 Sales Agreement. In connection with the 2025 Sales Agreement (as defined below), effective May 8, 2025, we terminated the 2022 Sales Agreement.
On May 8, 2025, we entered into a Sales Agreement (the 2025 Sales Agreement) with TD Securities (USA) LLC (the Sales Agent), under which we may, from time to time, sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $150.0 million in “at the market” offerings through the Sales Agent. Sales of the shares of common stock, if any, will be made at prevailing market prices at the time of sale or as otherwise agreed with the Sales Agent. The Sales Agent will receive a commission from us of up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds of any shares of common stock sold under the Sales Agreement. As of June 30, 2025, we had not sold any shares under the 2025 Sales Agreement.

Operating Activities
The increase of $16.9 million in net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily due to an increase of $19.4 million in net loss and an increase in net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $3.3 million, offset by an increase of $4.3 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense and a decrease of $1.5 million in non-cash net accretion on marketable securities.
Investing Activities
The increase of $179.8 million in net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, was driven by a reduction in purchases of marketable securities of $162.2 million, a $17.0 million increase in maturities of marketable securities, and a $0.6 million decrease in capital expenditures for property and equipment.
Financing Activities
The decrease of $197.9 million in net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily due to the $199.6 million in net proceeds from
24
the 2024 Private Placement received during the six months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of $1.7 million in proceeds from issuances of common stock under benefit plans.
Material Cash Requirements
Our material cash requirements consist of expected operating expenses to conduct our clinical trials and other research and development activities, personnel-related expenses and operating lease obligations.
Our primary uses of cash to date have been to fund our research and development activities, including with respect to dabogratinib, TYRA-430, TYRA-200 and other research programs, business planning, establishing and maintaining our intellectual property portfolio, hiring personnel, raising capital, and providing general and administrative support for these operations.
Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of June 30, 2025 will be sufficient to meet our anticipated operating expenses and capital expenditures through at least 2027. However, our forecast of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations is a forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could deplete our capital resources sooner than we expect. Additionally, the process of conducting preclinical studies and testing product candidates in clinical trials is costly, and the timing of progress and expenses in these studies and trials is uncertain.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenues to support our cost structure, we expect to finance our cash needs through equity offerings, debt financings or other capital sources, including potential collaborations, licenses and other similar arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our stockholders
25
could be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders. Debt financing and equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise funds through collaborations or other similar arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us and/or may reduce the value of our common stock. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market our product candidates even if we would otherwise prefer to develop and market such product candidates ourselves.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Other than disclosed below, there were no material changes outside the ordinary course of our business during the six months ended June 30, 2025 to the information regarding our contractual obligations that was disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in the 2024 Annual Report.
As of June 30, 2025, total future aggregate operating lease commitments were $8.3 million, with approximately $0.4 million due during 2025, and the remaining due in periods from 2026 through 2033.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in the 2024 Annual Report.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1 to our condensed financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for recently issued accounting pronouncements that may potentially impact our financial position and results of operations.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As of June 30, 2025, there have been no material changes surrounding our market risk, including interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange risk, and inflation risk, from the discussion provided in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in the 2024 Annual Report.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, respectively), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. 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.
Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer
26
concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
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) during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings. From time to time, we may be involved in legal proceedings or subject to claims incident to the ordinary course of business. Regardless of the outcome, such proceedings or claims can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of resources and other factors, and there can be no assurances that favorable outcomes will be obtained.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of our 2024 Annual Report.
