Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

1. Formation and Business of the Company

Organization and Liquidity

PMV Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware in March 2013. Since inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its time and efforts to performing research and development activities and raising capital. The Company is a precision oncology company pioneering the discovery and development of small molecule, tumor-agnostic therapies targeting p53 mutations. The Company’s headquarters are located in Cranbury, New Jersey.

The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry including, but not limited to, technical risks associated with the successful research, development and manufacturing of product candidates, development by competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations and the ability to secure additional capital to fund operations. Current and future programs will require significant research and development efforts, including extensive preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel and infrastructure. Even if the Company’s product development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will realize significant revenue from product sales.

On September 25, 2020, the Company completed an initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 13,529,750 shares of common stock, at a public offering price of $18.00 per share including the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase up to 1,764,750 additional shares of commons stock, for aggregate gross proceeds of $243,536 and its shares started trading on The Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol “PMVP.”  The Company received $223,161 in net proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company.  In connection with the closing of the IPO, all of the Company’s outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock outstanding at the time of the IPO automatically converted into 28,188,110 shares of common stock. On September 18, 2020, the Company amended its certificate of incorporation to effect a 5.2651-for-1 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common and convertible preferred stock. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements and related notes give retroactive effect to the reverse stock split for all periods presented.

The Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company incurred a net loss of $11,602 and used $12,904 of cash for operations. At March 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $121,482. Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2021 were $208,783.  Short and long term marketable securities totaled $139,597 at March 31, 2021. Management expects to incur substantial additional operating losses for the next several years and will need to obtain additional debt or equity financings in order to complete development of its products, obtain regulatory approvals, launch and commercialize its products and continue research and development programs. The Company believes it has adequate cash and cash equivalents to operate for at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed financial statements.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 3, 2021. Since the date of those financial statements, there have been no changes to its significant accounting policies except as noted below.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the interim period reporting requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The condensed balance sheet as of March 31, 2021, the condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss, and condensed statements of convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ (deficit) equity for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, and the condensed statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 are unaudited, but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which we consider necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.  The results for any interim period are not

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

necessarily indicative of results for the year ending December 31, 2021 or for any other subsequent interim period.The condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2020 has been derived from our audited financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience when available and on various factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these financial statements include, but are not limited to, the fair values of common stock, convertible preferred stock and stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Reverse Stock Split

In September 2020, the Company’s board of directors and stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to effect a 5.2651-for-1 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock and convertible preferred stock, which was effected on September 18, 2020. The par value of the common stock and convertible preferred stock were not adjusted as a result of the reverse stock split. Accordingly, all common stock, convertible preferred stock, stock options, and related per share amounts in these unaudited condensed financial statements have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to give effect to the reverse stock split.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

Management considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

The Company’s marketable debt securities have been classified and accounted for as available-for-sale. The Company classifies its marketable debt securities as either short-term or long-term based on each instrument’s underlying contractual maturity date. Marketable debt securities with maturities of 12 months or less are classified as short-term and marketable debt securities with maturities greater than 12 months are classified as long-term. The Company’s marketable debt securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ deficit. Premiums and discounts on marketable debt securities are amortized into earnings over the life of the security. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded $167 and $87 of amortization, respectively.      

Comprehensive Loss

The Company presents comprehensive loss in a single statement within its financial statements.  Other comprehensive loss consists of unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities, net of tax.

Leases

At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the circumstances present. The Company accounts for a contract as a lease when it has the right to control the asset for a period of time while obtaining substantially all of the asset’s economic benefits. The Company determines the initial classification and measurement of its operating right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities at the lease commencement date, and thereafter if modified. The lease term includes any renewal options that the Company is reasonably assured to exercise. The Company’s policy is to not record leases with a lease term of 12 months or less on its balance sheets. The Company’s only existing lease is for office space.

The ROU asset represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term. The lease liability represents the present value of the lease payments under the lease. The present value of lease payments is determined by using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate is readily determinable; otherwise, the Company uses its estimated secured incremental borrowing rate for that lease term.

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

(unaudited)

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the reasonably assured lease term based on the total lease payments and is included in operating expense in the statements of operations.

Payments due under each lease agreement include fixed and variable payments. Variable payments relate to the Company’s share of the lessor’s operating costs associated with the underlying asset and are recognized when the event on which those payments are assessed occurs. Neither of the Company’s leases contain residual value guarantees.

The interest rate implicit in lease agreements is typically not readily determinable, and as such, the Company utilizes the incremental borrowing rate to calculate lease liabilities, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), as amended by multiple standards updates, in order to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. The most significant change arising from the new standard is the recognition of right of use assets and lease liabilities for leases classified as operating leases. The right-of-use lease liability for operating leases is based on the net present value of future minimum lease payments. Additionally, the right-of-use asset for operating leases is based on the lease liability adjusted for the reclassification of certain balance sheet amounts such as the long term portion of straight line rent liability and deferred lease incentives. Under the standard, disclosures are required to enable financial statement users to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from the leases. Companies are also required to recognize and measure leases existing at, or entered into after, the adoption date using a modified retrospective approach, with certain practical expedients available. Comparative periods prior to adoption have not been retrospectively adjusted.

The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2021 using the modified retrospective transition method. Upon adoption, the Company applied the package of practical expedients that allows an entity to not reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (iii) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. The Company elected the practical expedient not to apply the recognition requirements to short-term leases, defined as a lease that at the commencement date has a lease term of 12 months or less that does not include a purchase option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. Furthermore, the Company has elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components by class of underlying asset for its existing leases. As the Company enters into new leases, it will continue to evaluate this accounting policy for any new classes of underlying assets.

Upon adoption, the Company recorded ROU assets of $970 and lease liabilities of $1,129. The standard did not have a material impact on the statement of operations or statement of cash flows.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The new guidance simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing several exceptions in the current standard and adding guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas, such as requiring that an entity reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2021. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. Cash and cash equivalents includes a checking account held at one financial institution. At times, such deposits may be in excess of insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s marketable debt securities are carried at fair value and include any unrealized gains and losses. Any investments with unrealized losses are considered to be temporarily impaired.

The Company’s future results of operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Factors that could affect the Company’s future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, rapid technological change, uncertainty of market acceptance of the product, competition from substitute products and larger companies, protection of proprietary technology, any future strategic relationships and dependence on key individuals.

Products developed by the Company require clearances from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or other international regulatory agencies prior to commercial sales. There can be no assurance the Company’s product candidates will receive the necessary clearances. If the Company is denied clearance, clearance is delayed or it is unable to maintain clearance, it could have a materially adverse impact on the Company.

In January 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern,” which continues to spread throughout the world.  The outbreak has adversely impacted global commercial activity and contributed to significant volatility in financial markets. The COVID-19 outbreak and government responses are creating disruption in global supply chains and adversely impacting many industries. The outbreak could have a continued material adverse impact on economic and market conditions and trigger a period of global economic slowdown. The Company continues to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak closely. The full extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak will impact its operations or financial results remains uncertain.

Operating Leases

In June 2015, the Company executed a noncancelable operating lease for approximately 13,000 square feet of laboratory, research and development, and office space in Cranbury, New Jersey for an initial base rent of $20.00 per square foot. This location operates as the Company’s headquarters. In June 2017, the Company obtained an additional noncancelable operating lease for about 6,000 square feet of laboratory space in the same corporate center at an initial rental rate at $22.00 per square foot. As a result of the additional space, both leases will expire July 2022, with an option to renew for an additional five-year term. Both leases include a common area maintenance expense for $3.00 per square foot with an increase of 3% on the first month of each calendar year during the lease term and a management fee of 3% of the base rent.The Company is obligated to pay, on a pro-rata basis, real estate taxes and operating costs related to the premises.

In August 2018, the Company executed two noncancelable operating leases. One lease for approximately 6,000 square feet for vivarium, laboratory and general office space in South Brunswick, New Jersey. The initial annual base rent is $15.50 per square foot and a management fee of 3% of the base rent. The Company is obligated to pay, on a pro-rata basis, insurance premiums, real estate taxes and operating costs related to the premises. The lease expires in July 2022, with an option for additional five-year term. The second lease is for office space in Lexington, Massachusetts, that expires August 2023, with an option to renew for a one-time, three-year extension. The initial annual base rent is $28.50 per square foot and will increase $1.00 per square foot at the end of each rent year.

The lease agreement in Lexington, Massachusetts allows for a tenant improvement allowance not to exceed $165 to be applied to the total cost of tenant improvements to the leased premises. Tenant improvement allowances due or received are recorded as deferred rent incentives on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, which are amortized to rent expense over the term of the lease. As of March 31, 2021, deferred rent incentives totaled $88.

Exercisable					2,644,954		$	2.20		5.81	$	81,134

At March 31, 2021, the total compensation cost related to nonvested awards not yet recognized is $4,683. The weighted-average period over which the nonvested awards is expected to be recognized is 3.0 years.

The Company estimated the fair value of the options using the Black-Scholes options valuation model. The fair value of the options is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. The fair value was estimated using the following assumptions:

	Three Months Ended	Year Ended
	March 31,	December 31,
	2021	2020
Risk-free interest rate	0.65%	0.31% - 1.51%
Expected life (in years)	6.25	4.92 - 6.40
Dividend yield	0%	0%
Expected volatility	79.90%	70.70% - 77.60%

Expected Term: The Company uses the simplified method to calculate expected term described in the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, which takes into account vesting term and expiration date of the options.

Volatility: Volatility is based on an average of the historical volatilities of comparable publicly traded companies for the expected term.

Risk Free Interest Rate: The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected term of the option.

Dividend Yield: The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends and does not plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future, and therefore, used an expected dividend yield of zero in the valuation model.

Stock-based compensation expense recorded under ASC 718 related to stock options granted was allocated to research and development and general and administrative expense as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31,		March 31,
	2021		2020
Research and development	$	251	$	142
General and administrative		376		154
Total stock-based compensation	$	627	$	296

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

You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our audited financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, including Contractual Obligations and Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 3, 2021.  Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to PMV Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

In addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to those set forth under the captions “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Furthermore, past operating results are not necessarily indicative of results that may occur in future periods.

Overview

We are a precision oncology company pioneering the discovery and development of small molecule, tumor-agnostic therapies targeting p53 mutations. p53 is a well-defined tumor suppressor protein known as the “guardian of the genome,” and normal, or wild-type, p53 has the ability to eliminate cancer cells. However, mutant p53 proteins can be misfolded and lose their wild-type tumor suppressing function. These p53 mutations are found in approximately half of all cancers. The field of p53 biology was established by our co-founder Dr. Arnold Levine when he discovered the p53 protein in 1979. We have leveraged more than four decades of research experience and developed unique insights into p53 to create a precision oncology platform designed to generate selective, small molecule, tumor-agnostic therapies that structurally correct specific mutant p53 proteins to restore their wild-type function. We are deploying our precision oncology platform to target the top ten most frequent, or hotspot, p53 mutations that are collectively associated with approximately 10-15% of all cancers.

Since our formation in March 2013, we have devoted substantially all of our time and efforts to performing research and development activities and raising capital. We are not profitable and have incurred losses in each year since our inception. Our net losses were $34.4 million and $25.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $11.6 million and $7.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $121.5 million. We do not currently have any product candidates approved for sale, and we continue to incur significant research and development and general administrative expenses related to our operations. We initiated a Phase 1/2 clinical trial in October 2020 for our lead product candidate, PC14586. In October 2020, we were granted FDA Fast Track Designation of PC14586 for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have a p53 Y220C mutation. We dosed our first patient in this clinical trial in the fourth quarter of 2020. We expect that our operating expenses will increase significantly as we advance our product candidates through preclinical and clinical development, seek regulatory approval and prepare for and, if approved, proceed to commercialization; acquire, discover, validate and develop additional product candidates; obtain, maintain, protect and enforce our intellectual property portfolio; and hire additional personnel. In addition, we have incurred, and will continue to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company, and expect to continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future.

Our ability to generate product revenue will depend on the successful development, regulatory approval and eventual commercialization of one or more of our product candidates. Until such time as we can generate significant revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through private or public equity or debt financings, collaborative or other arrangements with corporate sources, or through other sources of financing. Adequate funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we fail to raise capital or enter into such agreements as and when needed, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and commercialization of our product candidates.

We plan to continue to use third-party service providers, including clinical research organizations, or CROs, and contract manufacturing organization, or CMOs, to carry out our preclinical and clinical development and to manufacture and supply the materials to be used during the development and commercialization of our product candidates. We do not currently have a sales force.

14

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

To date, we have not generated any revenue from any sources, including from product sales, and we do not expect to generate any revenue from the sale of products in the foreseeable future. If our development efforts for our product candidates are successful and result in regulatory approval, or license agreements with third parties, we may generate revenue in the future from product sales. However, there can be no assurance as to when we will generate such revenue, if at all.

Operating Expenses

Research and Development Expenses

Our research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred to conduct research, such as the discovery and development of our product candidates as well as the development of future product candidates. Research and development expenses include personnel costs, including stock-based compensation expense, third-party contractor services, laboratory materials and supplies, sourcing of raw materials and manufacturing of product candidates, depreciation and maintenance of research equipment and an allocation of related facilities costs. We expense research and development costs as they are incurred.

As we are at a very early stage of development, we do not allocate our costs by product candidate or development program, as a significant amount of research and development expenses include compensation costs, materials, supplies, depreciation on and maintenance of research equipment, and the cost of services provided by outside contractors, which are not tracked by product candidate or development program. In particular, with respect to internal costs, several of our departments support multiple product candidate research and development programs, and therefore the costs cannot be allocated to a particular product candidate or development program. Substantially all of our research and development costs are associated with our lead product candidate, PC14586. In October 2020, we initiated a Phase 1/2 clinical trial for PC14586 and also were granted FDA Fast Track Designation of PC14586 for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have a p53 Y220C mutation. We dosed our first patient in this clinical trial in the fourth quarter of 2020.

We expect our research and development expenses to increase substantially in absolute dollars in the future as we advance our product candidates into and through clinical trials and pursue regulatory approval of our product candidates. The process of conducting the necessary clinical research to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time-consuming. The actual probability of success for our product candidates may be affected by a variety of factors including: the safety and efficacy of our product candidates, early clinical data, investment in our clinical program, the ability of any future collaborators to successfully develop our licensed product candidates, competition, manufacturing capability, and commercial viability. We may never succeed in achieving regulatory approval for any of our product candidates. As a result of the uncertainties discussed above, we are unable to determine the duration and completion costs of our research and development projects.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses include personnel costs, expenses for outside professional services and other allocated expenses. Personnel costs consist of salaries, bonuses, benefits and stock-based compensation. Outside professional services consist of legal, accounting and audit services and other consulting fees. Allocated expenses consist of rent expense related to our office and research and development facility. We expect to incur additional expenses as a public company, including expenses related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, and those of any national securities exchange on which our securities are traded, additional insurance expenses, investor relations activities and other administrative and professional services. We expect to increase our headcount significantly to operate as a public company. We also expect to increase our general and administrative expenses as we advance our product candidates through preclinical research and development, manufacturing, clinical development and commercialization.

Interest Income, Net

Interest income, net primarily consists of interest income from our interest-bearing cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities and interest costs related to amortization of premiums and discounts on short-term marketable securities.

Research and Development Expenses

The following table summarizes our research and development expenses incurred during the periods indicated (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
Statement of operations data:	2021		2020		Change
Research	$	2,481	$	1,645	$	836
Development		2,861		2,390		471

Stock-based compensation		251		142		109
Total	$	7,500	$	5,955	$	1,545

Research and development expenses were $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase of $1.5 million was primarily due to the following:

• $0.8 million increase in research expenses, largely driven by increased contractual research organization costs focused on discovery research; and

• $0.5 million increase in development expenses associate with advancing our lead product candidate, PC14586, through the Phase 1/2 clinical trial; and

• $0.2 million increase in expenses for personnel related costs and stock-based compensation, primarily driven by increased headcount for developing PC14586, including our on-going Phase 1/2 clinical trial for this product candidate.

16

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase of $2.5 million was primarily due to the following:

• $1.3 million increase in personnel and office related expense due to increased headcount to build out general and administrative infrastructure; and

• $1.2 million increase in insurance and outside services, $0.6 million of which is for directors and officers insurance, $0.6 million of which is for finance and legal support

Interest Income, Net

Interest income, net primarily consists of interest income from our interest-bearing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and interest costs related to amortization of premiums and discounts on marketable securities. Interest income, net was $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease of $0.3 million is driven by decreased income from cash investments in marketable securities and U.S treasuries during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

Since our inception, we have not generated any revenue from any product sales or any other sources and have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from our operations. We have not yet commercialized any of our product candidates and we do not expect to generate revenue from sales of any product candidates for several years, if at all. As of March 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $208.8 million, short-term marketable securities of $122.7 million, long-term marketable securities of $16.9 million, and an accumulated deficit of $121.5 million. We have financed our operations primarily through issuances of our convertible preferred and common stock. In 2019, we sold an aggregate of 5,469,606 shares of our Series C convertible preferred stock to accredited investors, generating gross proceeds of $61.9 million. In July 2020, we sold an aggregate of 5,321,864 shares of our Series D convertible preferred stock to accredited investors, generating gross proceeds of $70.0 million. In September 2020, we completed an IPO of 13,529,750 shares of our common stock, which includes the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase 1,764,750 additional shares of common stock, at a public offering price of $18.00 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $243.5 million.  We received $223.2 million in net proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by us.

Plan of Operation and Future Funding Requirements

We use our capital resources primarily to fund operating expenses, mainly research and development expenditures. We plan to increase our research and development expenses for the foreseeable future as we continue the preclinical and clinical development of our product candidates. At this time, due to the inherently unpredictable nature of preclinical and clinical development and given the early stage of our product candidates, we cannot reasonably estimate the costs we will incur and the timelines that will be required to complete development, obtain marketing approval and commercialize our current product candidates or any future product candidates, if at all. For the same reasons, we are also unable to predict when, if ever, we will generate revenue from product sales or whether, or when, if ever, we may achieve profitability. Clinical and preclinical development timelines, the probability of success, and development costs can differ materially from expectations. In addition, we cannot forecast which product candidates may be subject to future collaborations, when such arrangements will be secured, if at all, and to what degree such arrangements would affect our development plans and capital requirements.

Due to our significant research and development expenditures, we have generated substantial operating losses in each period since inception. We have incurred an accumulated deficit of $121.5 million through March 31, 2021. We expect to incur substantial additional losses in the future as we expand our research and development activities. Based on our research and development plans, we expect that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of March 31, 2021 will be sufficient to fund our operations at least through 2023.

We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, however, and we could use our capital resources sooner than we expect.

The timing and amount of our operating expenditures will depend largely on:

• the timing and progress of preclinical and clinical development activities;

• the number and scope of preclinical and clinical programs we decide to pursue;

17

• the timing and amount of milestone payments we may receive under any future collaboration agreements;

• our ability to maintain future licenses and research and development programs and to establish new collaboration arrangements;

• the costs involved in prosecuting and enforcing patent and other intellectual property claims;

• the cost and timing of regulatory approvals; and

• our efforts to enhance operational systems and hire additional personnel, including personnel to support development of our product candidates and satisfy our obligations as a public company.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, we expect to fund our operations and capital funding needs through equity and/or debt financing. We may also consider entering into collaboration arrangements or selectively partnering for clinical development and commercialization. The sale of additional equity would result in additional dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of debt financing would result in debt service obligations and the instruments governing such debt could provide for operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations or our ability to incur additional indebtedness or pay dividends, among other items. If we raise additional funds through governmental funding, collaborations, strategic partnerships and alliances or marketing, distribution or licensing 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. If we are not able to secure adequate additional funding, we may be forced to make reductions in spending, extend payment terms with suppliers, liquidate assets where possible, and/or suspend or curtail planned programs. Any of these actions could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the period indicated (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2021			2020
	(unaudited)			(unaudited)
Cash used in operating activities	$	(12,904	)	$	(8,138	)
Cash used in investing activities		(139,897	)		(6,384	)
Cash provided by financing activities		162			—
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	(152,639	)	$	(14,522	)

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was $12.9 million, which consisted primarily of net loss of $11.6 million partially offset by non-cash charges of $0.9 million.  Changes in our net operating assets decreased operating cash by $2.2 million.  The non-cash charges primarily consisted of stock-based compensation of $0.6 million and depreciation and amortization of $0.3 million. The change in our net operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets, a decrease in accrued expenses, and a decrease in outstanding payables.  Included in the increase of prepaid expenses and other assets is a cash deposit of $0.8 million for our new facility in NJ.

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020, was $8.1 million, which consisted primarily of net loss of $7.3 million partially offset by non-cash charges of $0.5 million, and a net change of $1.4 million in our net operating assets. The non-cash charges primarily consisted of stock-based compensation of $0.3 million and depreciation and amortization expense of $0.2 million. The change in our net operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to an increase in amounts owed to vendors in 2020.

Investing Activities

Our investing activities used $139.9 million of cash during the three months ended March 31, 2021, which consisted primarily of purchases of marketable securities in addition to the purchase of property and equipment of $0.1 million.

Our investing activities used $6.4 million of cash during the three months ended March 31, 2020, which consisted primarily of purchases of marketable securities of $14.8 million, partially offset maturities in our marketable securities of $8.5 million.  We also had purchases of property and equipment of $0.1 million.

18

Financing Activities

Our financing activities provided $0.2 million of cash during the three months ended March 31, 2021, which consisted primarily of proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

Our financing activities did not generate an increase or decrease in cash and cash equivalents for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not currently have, nor in the past had, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC, during the periods presented.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in those financial statements and accompanying notes. Although we believe that the estimates we use are reasonable, due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making those estimates, actual results reported in future periods could differ from those estimates.

We believe that the accounting policies described below involve a high degree of judgment and complexity. Accordingly, these are the policies we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of our operations. During the three ended March 31, 2021, there were no material changes to our critical accounting policies from those described in our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 3, 2021, except as noted below.

Research and Development Costs, Accrued Research and Development Costs and Related Prepaid Expenses

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses consist principally of personnel costs, including salaries, stock-based compensation and benefits for employees, third-party license fees and other operational costs related to our research and development activities, including sourcing of raw materials and manufacturing of our product candidates, allocated facility-related expenses and external costs of outside vendors, and other direct and indirect costs. Non-refundable research and development advance payments are deferred and capitalized. The capitalized amounts are expensed as the related goods are delivered or services are performed.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a description of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 2 of the notes to our unaudited condensed financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

JOBS Act Accounting Election

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended, or JOBS Act, enacted in April 2012. For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, or Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years following the year in which we completed our IPO, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the closing of our IPO, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which requires the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates to exceed $700 million as of the prior June 30th, or (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period. We expect to lose our EGC status as of December 31, 2021.

Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can also delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. For as long as we continue to be an EGC, we have elected to use the

19

extended transition period to enable us to comply with new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, we will adopt new or revised accounting standards at the time private companies adopt the new or revised accounting standard and will do so until such time that we either (i) irrevocably elect to “opt out” of such extended transition period or (ii) no longer qualify as an emerging growth company.

Even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, we may still qualify as a “smaller reporting company,” which would allow us to continue to take advantage of many of the same exemptions from disclosure requirements, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily relate to interest rate risks.

We had cash and cash equivalents of $208.8 million as of March 31, 2021, which consists of interest-bearing U.S. treasury securities, money market funds and corporate debt securities. Our exposure due to changes in interest rates is not material due to the nature and amount of our money-market funds and short-term marketable securities.

We are not currently exposed to significant market risk related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates; however, we may contract with foreign vendors that are located outside the United States in the future. This may subject us to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates in the future.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

We carry out a variety of ongoing procedures, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2021.

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter 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 involved in any litigation or legal proceedings that, in management’s opinion, are likely to have any material adverse effect on the Company.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Other than as disclosed below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s risk factors as set forth in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on March 3, 2021. You should carefully review and consider the information regarding certain factors which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on March 3, 2021.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock by our existing stockholders in the public market could cause our stock price to fall.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our common stock.

Certain holders of shares of our common stock have rights, subject to certain conditions, to require us to file registration statements covering their shares or to include their shares in registration statements that we may file for ourselves or other stockholders. Registration of these shares under the Securities Act would result in the shares becoming freely tradeable in the public market, subject to the restrictions of Rule 144 in the case of our affiliates. Any sales of securities by these stockholders could have a material adverse effect on the market price for our common stock.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Not applicable.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information.

Not applicable.
