Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Cullinan’s significant accounting policies have not changed materially from those disclosed in its annual audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 10-K”).

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") and in accordance with applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for interim financial reporting and include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company operates as one segment, which is developing early-stage therapeutics.

In the opinion of Cullinan’s management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, and necessary for fair financial statement presentation. The preparation of these unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. These unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the 2023 10-K.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued an accounting standards update to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The main provisions of this update require companies to disclose, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses, segment profit and loss, and other segments items that are regularly provided to the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (the "CODM"). This update also requires companies to disclose the title and position of the CODM and to explain how the CODM uses the reported segment measures in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The update also requires companies with a single reportable segment to provide all required segment reporting disclosures. This new standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Cullinan adopted this standard on January 1, 2024 for 2024 annual reporting and interim periods beginning in 2025.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Cullinan currently qualifies as an emerging growth company (“EGC”) under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, which allows the Company to delay adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use the extended transition period for new or revised accounting standards during the period in which it remains an EGC; however, Cullinan may adopt certain new or revised accounting standards early. Based on the market value of the Company's common stock held by non-affiliates as of June 30, 2024, the Company will cease to be an EGC as of December 31, 2024. As a result, beginning with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2024, the Company will not be able to rely on the extended transition period noted above and will be required to adopt all new accounting pronouncements within the same time periods as other public companies that are not EGCs.

In December 2023, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to enhance transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The main provisions in this update will require companies to disclose, on an annual basis, specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. This update will also require companies to disclose, on an annual basis, the amount of income taxes paid, income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit), and income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations, disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions. This new standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. The Company expects that it will adopt this new standard on January 1, 2025. The Company is evaluating the impact this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and associated disclosures.
