Operations and Business

Applied Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a pipeline of novel product candidates against validated molecular targets in indications of high unmet medical need. In particular, the Company is currently targeting treatments for rare diseases such as Galactosemia and Sorbitol Dehydrogenase (“SORD”) deficiency. The Company was incorporated in Delaware on January 20, 2016 and is headquartered in New York, New York.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Annual Report, filed with the SEC on March 6, 2024 (the “Annual Report”).

The unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2024, results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.

Liquidity and Going Concern

Liquidity and Going Concern

Under ASC Topic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern, management is required at each reporting period to evaluate whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. As of June 30, 2024, financing through the Company’s March 2024 Private Placement, Leerink ATM Agreement and warrant exercises has resulted in net proceeds of $113.8 million, after deducting placement agent commissions and other offering expenses (see Note 7 and Note 8). The Company continues to evaluate several potential long-term financing options, including equity capital, debt, convertible debt, and synthetic royalty financing. Additionally, the Company is in active dialogue with several potential partners regarding business development opportunities related to one or more of its programs. There can be no assurances that the Company’s discussions with any of the current counterparties will be successful, and the Company expects to continue to pursue additional opportunities.

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $81.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and has an accumulated deficit of $549.6 million as of June 30, 2024. The exclusive licensing agreement with Advanz Pharma for commercialization rights to AT-007 in Europe provides a source of capital to the Company based on clinical and regulatory milestones. The Company received a $10.7 million upfront payment from Advanz Pharma in January 2023 in conjunction with signing the agreement. If actualization of these milestones aligns with the projected timelines, and product approvals are received in the timeframes expected, this source of capital may be sufficient to cover operating expenses through expected product approvals and potential revenues. However, there are no guarantees that this will materialize timely or at all, and delays or unexpected data could disrupt this potential liquidity. Broadly, the Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its

operating costs and is dependent on debt and equity financing to fund its operations. The Company currently expects that its existing cash and cash equivalents of $122.2 million as of June 30, 2024, will fund its operating expenses and capital requirements for at least twelve months from the date this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is issued.

Risk and Uncertainties

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology industry, including but not limited to, risks of failure of preclinical studies and clinical trials, the need to obtain marketing approval for any product candidate that it may identify and develop, the need to successfully commercialize and gain market acceptance of its product candidates, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, development by competitors of technological innovations and reliance on third-party manufacturers.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. In preparing the financial statements, management used estimates in the following areas, among others: prepaid and accrued expenses; warrant liabilities valuation; license revenue; research and development services revenue; stock-based compensation expense; the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets; and the evaluation of the existence of conditions and events that raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
