Net Income (Loss) Per Share

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2024

3. Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, plus potential dilutive common stock during the period. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share since the effect of the potentially dilutive securities is anti-dilutive. The pre-funded warrants are included in both the basic and diluted EPS calculation.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share:


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting.
Unaudited Interim Financial Information	Unaudited Interim Financial Information The accompanying interim condensed financial statements and related disclosures are unaudited, have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods presented. The condensed results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or for any other future year or interim period. The accompanying condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of the 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 liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash	Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash represents a standby letter of credit issued pursuant to an office lease.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition The Company’s revenues are primarily derived through its license, research, development and commercialization agreements. The terms of these types of agreements may include (i) licenses for the Company’s technology or programs, (ii) research and development services, and (iii) services or obligations in connection with participation in research or steering committees. Payments to the Company under these arrangements typically include one or more of the following: nonrefundable upfront and license fees, research funding, milestone and other contingent payments to the Company for the achievement of defined collaboration objectives and certain preclinical, clinical, regulatory and sales-based events, as well as royalties on sales of any commercialized products. The Company assesses whether the promises in its arrangements with customers are distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately. Judgment is required to determine whether the license to the Company’s intellectual property is distinct from the research and development services or participation on steering committees. The Company’s collaboration and license agreements may include contingent payments related to specified research, development and regulatory milestones. Such milestone payments are typically payable under the collaborations when the collaboration partner claims or selects a target, or initiates or advances a covered product candidate in preclinical or clinical development, upon submission for marketing approval of a covered product with regulatory authorities, or upon receipt of actual marketing approvals of a covered product or for additional indications. Milestone payments that are not within the control of the Company or the licensee, such as regulatory approvals, are not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received. At each reporting date, the Company re-evaluates whether the milestones are considered probable of being achieved and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price by using the most likely amount method. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur, the associated milestone value is included in the transaction price in such period of determination. The Company’s collaboration and license agreements may also include contingent payments related to sales-based milestones. Sales-based milestones are typically payable when annual sales of a covered product reach specified levels. Sales-based milestones are recognized at the later of when the associated performance obligation has been satisfied or when the sales occur. Unlike other contingency payments, such as regulatory milestones, sales-based milestones are not included in the transaction price based on estimates at the inception of the contract; instead, they are included when the sales or usage occur. Due to the early stage of the Company’s licensed technology, the license of such technology is typically combined with research and development services and steering committee participation as one performance obligation. Under the collaboration and license agreements, each collaboration target or program is generally considered to be a separate combined performance obligation. The transaction price in each arrangement is allocated to the identified performance obligations based on the relative standalone selling price (“SSP”) of each distinct performance obligation, which requires judgment. In instances where SSP is not directly observable, such as when a license or service is not sold separately, SSP is determined using information that may include market conditions and other observable inputs. Variable consideration is allocated to certain performance obligations if it is triggered by the Company’s efforts to satisfy or a specific outcome from satisfying these performance obligations. In the event that the Company receives non-cash consideration such as consideration in the form of a research license and research support services from the counterparty, the transaction price of a non-monetary exchange that has commercial substance is estimated based on the fair value of the non-cash consideration received, which may be determined through a valuation analysis. The Company recognizes revenue from upfront payments over the estimated period of performance under the agreement using an input method for the performance obligation. In applying the input method of revenue recognition, the Company uses actual full-time equivalent (FTE) hours incurred relative to estimated total FTE hours expected to be incurred for each combined performance obligation over the estimated research service period of each collaboration target. In certain cases, the Company’s performance creates an asset that does not have an alternative use to the customer and the Company has an enforceable right to payment at all times for performance completed to date. In these cases, the Company utilizes judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenue. The Company evaluates the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjusts the measure of performance and related revenue recognition. Any consideration payable to the Company’s customers is treated as a reduction to the transaction price and revenue, unless the payment to the customer is in exchange for distinct good and services.
Contract Balances	Contract Balances Customer payments are recorded as deferred revenue upon receipt or when due and may require deferral of revenue recognition to a future period until the Company satisfies its performance obligations under these arrangements. Amounts payable to the Company are recorded as accounts receivable when the Company’s right to consideration is unconditional.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted	Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"), which enhances transparency in income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 require entities to disclose (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation, (2) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated between domestic and foreign) and (3) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by federal, state and foreign). ASU 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state and local jurisdictions, among other changes. The amendments are set to be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and are required to be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is evaluating the impact on our financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements and Investments

4. Fair Value Measurements and Investments

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the Company determines the fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities using the fair value hierarchy, which establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, as follows:

•

Level I: Inputs which include quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

•

Level II: Inputs other than Level I that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

•

Level III: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The Company’s financial instruments consist of Level I and Level II assets which consist primarily of highly liquid money market funds, some of which are included in restricted cash and U.S. Treasury securities that are included in cash equivalents or short-term investments.

The following tables set forth the fair value of the Company’s investments subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis and the level of inputs used in such measurements:


		June 30, 2024
	Valuation Hierarchy	Amortized Cost		Gross Unrealized Losses			Aggregate Fair Value

U.S. Treasury Securities	Level II		113,831		(4	)		113,827
Total		$	138,194	$	(4	)	$	138,190

Total		$	175,269	$	95	$	175,364

As of June 30, 2024, the remaining contractual terms of those investments are less than a year.

AbbVie Ireland Unlimited Company

In April 2016, the Company and AbbVie entered into two agreements, a CD71 Co-Development and Licensing Agreement (the “CD71 Agreement”) and a Discovery Collaboration and Licensing Agreement (as amended and restated in June 2019, the “Discovery Agreement” and together with the CD71 Agreement the “AbbVie Agreements”). Under the terms of the CD71 Agreement, the Company and AbbVie were co-developing a conditionally activated antibody-drug conjugate (“ADC”), CX-2029, against CD71, with the Company being responsible for preclinical and early clinical development. AbbVie was to be responsible for later development and commercialization, with global late-stage development costs shared between the two companies. Under the CD71 Agreement, the Company has received in aggregate $100.0 million in upfront and milestone payments. AbbVie had entered into a license agreement with Seattle Genetics, Inc. (“SGEN”) to license certain intellectual property rights pursuant to which the Company was required to pay SGEN sublicense fees for certain milestone achievements and an annual maintenance fee. These sublicense fees were treated as reductions to the transaction price and combined with the performance obligation to which they relate.

In March 2023, the Company announced that it would evaluate the potential next steps for CX-2029 following the decision from AbbVie, to not advance CX-2029 into additional clinical studies. As a result of AbbVie’s decision, the 2016 CD71 License and Collaboration Agreement was terminated in May 2023 and the Company re-acquired full rights to CX-2029. The Company has completed the performance obligation under the CD71 Agreement as of March 31, 2023, and recognized the related remaining deferred revenue of $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2023.

In December 2022, the research on the two discovery targets under the Discovery Agreement concluded with no plans to advance the discovery targets into clinical studies or to pursue new programs. The Discovery Agreement was also terminated and all target rights have reverted back to CytomX.

In August 2023, the Company entered into a Transition Agreement (the “Transition Agreement”) with AbbVie Global Enterprises Ltd. ("AbbVie Global", an affiliate entity of AbbVie), pursuant to which the Company regained exclusive worldwide rights to develop CX-2029, a CD71-targeting conditionally activated antibody drug conjugate. The Transition Agreement supersedes the CD71 Agreement that was terminated in May 2023, and grants certain intellectual property rights from AbbVie Global to enable the continued development of CX-2029 by the Company for all human and nonhuman diagnostic, prophylactic, and therapeutic uses. Pursuant to the Transition Agreement, AbbVie

Global is eligible to receive tiered sales royalties for CX-2029 ranging from the low-to-mid single digit percentages. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company decided to not to make any further substantial investments in the CX-2029 program in the near-term but continues to view CD71 as a target of strategic interest, including novel next-generation strategies.

Amgen, Inc.

On September 29, 2017, the Company and Amgen, Inc. (“Amgen”) entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “Amgen Agreement”). Pursuant to the Amgen Agreement, the Company received an upfront payment of $40.0 million in October 2017. Concurrent with the Amgen Agreement, the Company and Amgen entered into a Share Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Amgen purchased 1,156,069 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $17.30 per share for total proceeds of $20.0 million.

In October 2021, CytomX and Amgen executed an amendment to the Amgen Agreement primarily to (1) extend the target selection date for Amgen to select its additional targets for research and development, and (2) reduce the total number of milestone events and increase the total amount of milestone payments for EGFR Products. In each of May 2023 and March 2024, CytomX and Amgen executed an amendment to the Amgen Agreement to extend the target selection period for Amgen to select its additional targets for research and development as further discussed below.

Under the terms of the Amgen Agreement, as amended, the Company and Amgen will co-develop a conditionally activated T-cell engager (“TCE”) targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (the “EGFR Products”). The Company is responsible for early-stage development of EGFR Products and Amgen will be responsible for late-stage development and commercialization of EGFR Products. Following early-stage development, the Company will have the right to elect to participate financially in the global co-development of EGFR Products with Amgen, during which the Company would bear a certain percentage of the worldwide development costs for EGFR Products and Amgen would bear the rest of such costs (the “EGFR Co-Development Option”). If the Company exercises its EGFR Co-Development Option, the Company will share in somewhat less than 50% of the profit and losses from sales of such EGFR Products in the U.S., subject to certain caps, offsets, and deferrals. If the Company chooses not to exercise its EGFR Co-Development Option, the Company will not bear any costs of later stage development. The Company is also eligible to receive up to $460.0 million in development, regulatory, and commercial milestone payments for EGFR Products, and royalties in the low-double-digit to mid-teen percentage of worldwide commercial sales, provided that if the Company exercises its EGFR Co-Development option, it shall receive a profit and loss split of sales in the United States and royalties in the low-double-digit to mid-teen percentage of commercial sales outside of the United States. In January 2022, the IND for the EGFR product (CX-904) was allowed to proceed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and the program continues in an ongoing Phase 1 study.

Amgen also has the right to select a total of up to three targets, including the two additional targets discussed below. The Company and Amgen collaborate in the research and development of conditionally activated T-cell engaging bispecifics therapies directed against such targets. Amgen has selected one such target (the “Amgen Other Product”). If Amgen exercises its option within a specified period of time, it can select two such additional targets (the “Amgen Option Products” and, together with the Amgen Other Product, the “Amgen Products”). Except with respect to preclinical activities to be conducted by CytomX, Amgen will be responsible, at its expense, for the development, manufacture, and commercialization of all Amgen Products. If Amgen exercises all of its options and advances all three of the Amgen Products, CytomX is eligible to receive up to $950.0 million in upfront, development, regulatory, and commercial milestones and tiered high single-digit to low-teen percentage royalties. The Company concluded that, at the inception of the agreement and subsequent amendments, Amgen’s option to select the two additional targets is not a material right and does not represent a performance obligation of the agreement.

At the initiation of the collaboration, CytomX had the option to select from programs specified in the Amgen Agreement, an existing preclinical stage TCE product from the Amgen preclinical pipeline. In March 2018, CytomX selected the program and this program is currently in preclinical development. CytomX is responsible, at its expense, for converting this program to a conditionally activated TCE product, and thereafter, will be responsible for development, manufacturing, and commercialization of the product (“CytomX Product”). Amgen is eligible to receive up to $203.0 million in development, regulatory, and commercial milestone payments for the CytomX Product, and tiered mid-single digit to low double-digit percentage royalties.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, deferred revenue related to the EGFR Products performance obligation was $10.5 million and $12.8 million, respectively. Deferred revenue related to the Amgen Other Products performance obligation was immaterial as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Astellas Pharma Inc.

The Company and Astellas Pharma, Inc. (“Astellas”) entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “Astellas Agreement”) on March 23, 2020, the effective date, to collaborate on preclinical research activities to discover and develop certain antibody compounds for the treatment of cancer using the Company’s PROBODY therapeutic technology.

Under the terms of the Astellas Agreement, the Company granted Astellas an exclusive, worldwide right to develop and commercialize PROBODY therapeutics for up to four collaboration targets including one initial target and three additional targets (“Additional Targets”). In addition, Astellas had the right to expand the number of Additional Targets from three up to five (the “Expansion Option”) before the third anniversary of the effective date. Furthermore, for a specified number of targets, at a pre-specified time prior to the initiation of the first pivotal study of a product against such target, the Company may elect to participate in certain development costs and share in the profits generated in the United States with respect to such product (“Cost Share Option”). The Cost Share Option, if exercised, will also provide the option for the Company to co-commercialize such product in the United States. The Company does not consider the Cost Share Option as a performance obligation at the inception of the agreement as participation is at the Company’s discretion.

Pursuant to the Astellas Agreement, the consideration from Astellas is comprised of an upfront fee of $80.0 million and contingent payments for development, regulatory and sales milestones of up to an aggregate of approximately $1.6 billion. The Company is also entitled to tiered royalties from high-single digit to mid-teen percentage royalties from potential future sales. Astellas is responsible for all preclinical research costs incurred by either party as set forth in the preclinical research plan and the Company will receive research and development service fees based on a prescribed full-time employee ("FTE") rate.

In January 2023, the Company announced that it achieved a clinical candidate milestone under the Astellas Agreement which triggered a $5.0 million milestone payment to the Company. The $5.0 million milestone payment was fully recognized in the first quarter of 2023 as the Company had completed its related performance obligation of the collaboration target which resulted in the clinical candidate nomination for further development. In March 2024, the Company announced that it achieved the good laboratory practices ("GLPs") toxicology milestone for this candidate which triggered a $5.0 million milestone payment to the Company. The $5.0 million milestone payment was fully recognized in the first quarter of 2024 as the Company had completed its related performance obligation of the collaboration target. Also, in March 2024, the Company announced that it achieved a clinical candidate milestone for a second collaboration target under the Astellas Agreement which triggered an additional $5.0 million milestone payment to the Company. The $5.0 million milestone payment was fully recognized in the first quarter of 2024 as the Company had completed its related performance obligation of the collaboration target which resulted in the clinical candidate nomination for further development.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, deferred revenue relating to the Astellas Agreement was $23.6 million and $31.0 million, respectively. The amount due from Astellas under the Astellas Agreement was $1.5 million as of June 30, 2024 and $2.2 million as of December 31, 2023.

Bristol Myers Squibb Company

On May 23, 2014, the Company and Bristol Myers Squibb Company (“Bristol Myers Squibb”) entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “BMS Agreement”) to discover and develop compounds for use in human therapeutics aimed at multiple immuno-oncology targets using the Company’s PROBODY therapeutic technology, including the target CTLA-4. The effective date of the BMS Agreement was July 7, 2014.

Under the terms of the BMS Agreement, the Company granted Bristol Myers Squibb exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize PROBODY therapeutics for up to four oncology targets. Bristol Myers Squibb had additional rights to substitute up to two collaboration targets within three years of the effective date of the BMS Agreement. These rights expired in May 2017. Each collaboration target had a two-year research term and the two additional targets had to be nominated by Bristol Myers Squibb within five years of the effective date of the BMS Agreement. The research term for each collaboration target could be extended in one year increments up to three times.

Pursuant to the BMS Agreement, the financial consideration from Bristol Myers Squibb was comprised of an upfront payment of $50.0 million and estimated research and development service fees, and the Company was initially entitled to receive contingent payments of up to $25.0 million for additional targets and contingent payments for development, regulatory and sales milestones. In addition, the Company was entitled to royalty payments in the mid-single digits to low double-digit percentages from potential future sales.

On March 17, 2017, the Company and Bristol Myers Squibb amended the BMS agreement and entered into Amendment Number 1 to Extend Collaboration and License Agreement (“Amendment 1”). Amendment 1 granted Bristol Myers Squibb exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize PROBODY therapeutics for up to eight additional targets. The effective date of Amendment 1 was April 25, 2017 (“Amendment Effective Date”). Under the terms of Amendment 1, the Company continued to have obligations to Bristol Myers Squibb to discover and conduct preclinical development of PROBODY therapeutics against any targets they chose to select during the research period under the terms of Amendment 1.

Pursuant to Amendment 1, the financial consideration from Bristol Myers Squibb was comprised of an upfront payment of $200.0 million, estimated research and development service fees, and contingent payments for development, regulatory and sales milestones for the eight targets. The Company was also entitled to tiered mid-single to low double-digit percentage royalties from potential future sales. Amendment 1 did not change the term of Bristol Myers Squibb’s royalty obligation under the BMS Agreement. Bristol Myers Squibb’s royalty obligation continues on a licensed-product by licensed-product basis until the later of (i) the expiration of the last claim of the licensed patents covering the licensed products in the country, (ii) the twelfth anniversary of the first commercial sale of a licensed product in a country, or (iii) the expiration of any applicable regulatory, pediatric, orphan drug or data exclusivity with respect to such product.

The initial transaction price for the BMS Agreement and Amendment 1, collectively, was $304.7 million consisting of the upfront fees of $250.0 million, target selection fees for the third and fourth targets of $25.0 million, estimated research and development service fees of $17.7 million and milestone payments received up to January 1, 2018, of $12.0 million. The Company determined that the remaining potential milestone payments were probable of significant revenue reversal as their achievement was highly dependent on factors outside the Company’s control. Therefore, these payments were fully constrained and were not included in the transaction price upon the adoption of ASC 606 on January 1, 2018. The initial transaction price for the combined obligation for each collaboration target is recognized using an input measure.

In February 2021, the Company and Bristol Myers Squibb amended the BMS agreement and entered into Amendment Number 2 to amend the Collaboration and License Agreement (“Amendment 2”), as previously amended by Amendment 1. Subsequent to Amendment 2, in addition to Bristol Myers Squibb’s ongoing development of the CTLA-4 program, Bristol Myers Squibb also had the exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize PROBODY therapeutics for up to five oncology targets. Under the terms of Amendment 2, the period for target selection was extended and in 2022, all remaining targets were selected. The Company will continue to collaborate with Bristol Myers Squibb to discover and conduct preclinical development of PROBODY therapeutics against targets selected by Bristol Myers Squibb over the estimated research period, which is projected to end in April 2025. Pursuant to Amendment 2, the Company was eligible to receive contingent payments for development, regulatory and sales milestones. It is also entitled to tiered mid-single to low double-digit percentage of royalties from potential future sales. The Company accounted for Amendment 2 as a modification and reallocated the remaining unrecognized transaction price to the remaining performance obligations.

In October 2022, the Company and Bristol Myers Squibb amended the BMS Agreement and entered into Amendment Number 3 (“Amendment 3”), as previously amended by Amendment 1 and Amendment 2, to clarify the rights and restrictions of certain new proprietary antibodies that the parties exchanged. There were no substantive changes to each party's performance obligations.

In March 2024, following a Bristol Myers Squibb corporate portfolio prioritization process, Bristol Myers Squibb notified CytomX that it does not intend to continue the development of BMS-986288 beyond the current Phase 2 study and terminated its collaboration license on the CTLA-4 target under the collaboration. BMS-986288 was Bristol Myers Squibb’s leading next generation PROBODY CTLA-4 program that it had previously prioritized over BMS-986249, which was a PROBODY version of ipilumamab.

In June 2024, Bristol Myers Squibb prioritized its pre-clinical research activities under the collaboration and revised the research scope by one collaboration target. The Company determined that it has no further obligations related to the target that was deprioritized and accounted for the reduction of the target as a modification and the related remaining unrecognized transaction price was reallocated to the remaining performance obligations. The Company continues to be obligated to perform research work under Amendment 2 executed in February 2021 for multiple ongoing research programs.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company is eligible to receive approximately $1.3 billion in contingent payments for development, regulatory and sales milestones for the ongoing collaboration programs.

The Company reevaluated the remaining potential milestone payments and determined that significant revenue reversal was probable as the achievement of such milestones was highly dependent on factors outside the Company’s control. As a result, these payments continued to be fully constrained and were not included in the transaction price as of June 30, 2024.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, deferred revenue relating to the BMS Agreement was $86.8 million and $119.9 million, respectively.

ModernaTX, Inc.

The Company and ModernaTX, Inc. (“Moderna”) entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “Moderna Agreement”) on December 30, 2022, the effective date, to collaborate on discovery and preclinical research and development activities to create investigational messenger RNA (mRNA) based conditionally activated therapies using the Company’s PROBODY therapeutic technology. Moderna is solely responsible for the development (preclinical and clinical), manufacturing, and commercialization of any products under the Moderna Agreement.

Under the terms of the Moderna Agreement, the Company granted Moderna an exclusive, worldwide right to develop and commercialize PROBODY therapeutics for the collaboration programs. In exchange, the Company received an upfront payment of $35.0 million in January 2023, including $5.0 million of prepaid research and development service fees. The Company will continue to receive research and development service fees according to the preclinical research work plans based on a prescribed FTE rate and is eligible to receive up to approximately $1.2 billion in future development, regulatory, and commercial milestone payments. The Company is also eligible to receive tiered royalties from high-single digit to low-teen percentage rates of annual global net sales of any products that are commercialized under the Moderna Agreement.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, deferred revenue relating to the Moderna Agreement was $19.1 million and $24.2 million, respectively. The amount due from Moderna under the Moderna Agreement was $0.2 million as of June 30, 2024 and $0 as of December 31, 2023.

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

The Company and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Regeneron”) entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “Regeneron Agreement”) on November 16, 2022, to collaborate on creation of conditionally-activated investigational bispecific cancer therapies utilizing the Company’s PROBODY® therapeutic platform and Regeneron’s Veloci-Bi® bispecific antibody development platform. The Company and Regeneron will collaborate on preclinical research and discovery activities for initially agreed upon collaboration programs (“Collaboration Program”) with an option to expand additional Collaboration Programs (“Additional Collaboration Program Option”).

Under the Collaboration and License Agreement, the Company granted Regeneron an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license under certain Company intellectual property to develop, manufacture, commercialize and otherwise exploit licensed products (“Licensed Products”) for all human and non-human diagnostic, prophylactic and therapeutic uses in oncology. Regeneron is responsible for funding the cost of preclinical research and discovery activities of both parties for all Licensed Products and for funding the cost of development, manufacturing and commercialization of all Licensed Products worldwide.

Pursuant to the Regeneron Agreement, the consideration from Regeneron is comprised of an upfront fee of $30.0 million, contingent payments for development and regulatory milestones and commercial milestone payments of up to an aggregate of approximately $0.8 billion. If Regeneron exercises its Additional Collaboration Program Option, the Company would be eligible to receive additional upfront and milestone payments aggregating up to approximately $1.2 billion. The Company is also entitled to tiered royalties from high-single digit to low-teen percentage royalties from potential future sales. In addition, the Company will receive research and development service fees based on a prescribed FTE rate.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, deferred revenue relating to the Regeneron Agreement was $20.4 million and $24.4 million, respectively. The amount due from Regeneron under the Regeneron Agreement was $1.0 million and $1.1 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

License Agreement

. License Agreement

UCSB Agreement

In August 2010, the Company entered into an exclusive, worldwide license agreement with University of California, Santa Barbara (“UCSB”), relating to the use of certain patents and technology relating to its core technology, including its therapeutic antibodies, and to certain patent rights the Company co-owns with UCSB covering PROBODY antibodies and other pro-proteins (the “UCSB Agreement”). Pursuant to the UCSB Agreement, the Company is obligated to (i) make royalty payments to UCSB on net sales of its products covered under the agreement, subject to annual minimum amounts, (ii) make milestone payments to UCSB upon the occurrence of certain events, (iii) make a milestone payment to UCSB upon occurrence of an IPO or change of control, and (iv) reimburse UCSB for prosecution and maintenance of the licensed patents. As part of the UCSB Agreement, the Company has annual minimum royalty obligations of $0.2 million under the terms of certain exclusive licensed patent rights. In April 2019, the Company entered into Amendment No.3 to the UCSB Agreement to adjust and clarify certain sublicense terms (“Amendment No.3”). Under the terms of Amendment No.3, the Company and UCSB agreed to modify the determination of sublicense revenues payable by the Company to UCSB on certain existing collaboration agreements and on collaboration agreements executed subsequent to Amendment No.3. In exchange, the Company agreed to make an upfront payment of $1.0 million as well as additional annual license maintenance fees of $0.8 million through 2031.

In March 2024, the Company incurred $0.6 million of sublicense fees triggered by achieving the GLP toxicology studies milestone for the first clinical candidate which was nominated by Astellas in 2023, as well as by achieving the clinical candidate nomination milestone for a second collaboration target under the Astellas Agreement.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred sublicense expenses of $0.1 million and $1.6 million under the provisions of the UCSB Agreement. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred sublicense expenses of $0 and $1.1 million under the provisions of the UCSB Agreement.

ImmunoGen (acquired by AbbVie in 2024)

In December 2019, the Company entered into a License Agreement (the “ImmunoGen 2019 License”) with ImmunoGen, Inc. to obtain an exclusive license with respect to epithelial cell adhesion molecule (“EPCAM”). Under the ImmunoGen 2019 License, ImmunoGen agreed to transfer its know-how, patents, intellectual property rights, and technology transfer materials and information related to its EpCAM program. The license gives the Company the sole ability to develop, manufacture, use and commercialize any licensed product that incorporates, is comprised of, or otherwise derived from PROBODY technology that targets EpCAM in any human therapeutic field on a worldwide basis.

In April 2024, the Company incurred a $5.0 million milestone payment to AbbVie (formerly ImmunoGen) with respect to achieving the milestone of dosing the first patient for CX-2051 under the ImmunoGen 2019 License Agreement.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

On March 4, 2020, Vytacera Bio, LLC filed a patent infringement lawsuit against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. The lawsuit alleges that the Company's use, offers to sell, and/or sales of the PROBODY® technology platform for basic research applications constitutes infringement. The complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages. In September 2022, the Company filed a motion

to dismiss the case and the Court granted the parties’ stipulation to stay all pending case deadlines until that motion is finally resolved. On October 30, 2023, Magistrate Judge Burke issued a Report & Recommendation that recommended granting Company’s motion to dismiss all counts of the complaint. In January 2024, the case was transferred to a new Judge and the case will remain stayed pending a ruling by the trial judge on the Magistrate’s Report & Recommendation. The Company believes that the lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself. The Company does not believe a loss is probable and has not recorded any amount as a contingent liability for claims associated with this lawsuit as of June 30, 2024.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The accompanying interim condensed financial statements and related disclosures are unaudited, have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods presented.

The condensed results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or for any other future year or interim period. The accompanying condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the 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 liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash represents a standby letter of credit issued pursuant to an office lease.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues are primarily derived through its license, research, development and commercialization agreements. The terms of these types of agreements may include (i) licenses for the Company’s technology or programs, (ii) research and development services, and (iii) services or obligations in connection with participation in research or steering committees. Payments to the Company under these arrangements typically include one or more of the following: nonrefundable upfront and license fees, research funding, milestone and other contingent payments to the Company for the achievement of defined collaboration objectives and certain preclinical, clinical, regulatory and sales-based events, as well as royalties on sales of any commercialized products.

The Company assesses whether the promises in its arrangements with customers are distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately. Judgment is required to determine whether the license to the Company’s intellectual property is distinct from the research and development services or participation on steering committees.

The Company’s collaboration and license agreements may include contingent payments related to specified research, development and regulatory milestones. Such milestone payments are typically payable under the collaborations when the collaboration partner claims or selects a target, or initiates or advances a covered product candidate in preclinical or clinical development, upon submission for marketing

approval of a covered product with regulatory authorities, or upon receipt of actual marketing approvals of a covered product or for additional indications. Milestone payments that are not within the control of the Company or the licensee, such as regulatory approvals, are not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received. At each reporting date, the Company re-evaluates whether the milestones are considered probable of being achieved and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price by using the most likely amount method. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur, the associated milestone value is included in the transaction price in such period of determination.

The Company’s collaboration and license agreements may also include contingent payments related to sales-based milestones. Sales-based milestones are typically payable when annual sales of a covered product reach specified levels. Sales-based milestones are recognized at the later of when the associated performance obligation has been satisfied or when the sales occur. Unlike other contingency payments, such as regulatory milestones, sales-based milestones are not included in the transaction price based on estimates at the inception of the contract; instead, they are included when the sales or usage occur.

Due to the early stage of the Company’s licensed technology, the license of such technology is typically combined with research and development services and steering committee participation as one performance obligation. Under the collaboration and license agreements, each collaboration target or program is generally considered to be a separate combined performance obligation. The transaction price in each arrangement is allocated to the identified performance obligations based on the relative standalone selling price (“SSP”) of each distinct performance obligation, which requires judgment. In instances where SSP is not directly observable, such as when a license or service is not sold separately, SSP is determined using information that may include market conditions and other observable inputs. Variable consideration is allocated to certain performance obligations if it is triggered by the Company’s efforts to satisfy or a specific outcome from satisfying these performance obligations. In the event that the Company receives non-cash consideration such as consideration in the form of a research license and research support services from the counterparty, the transaction price of a non-monetary exchange that has commercial substance is estimated based on the fair value of the non-cash consideration received, which may be determined through a valuation analysis. The Company recognizes revenue from upfront payments over the estimated period of performance under the agreement using an input method for the performance obligation. In applying the input method of revenue recognition, the Company uses actual full-time equivalent (FTE) hours incurred relative to estimated total FTE hours expected to be incurred for each combined performance obligation over the estimated research service period of each collaboration target.

In certain cases, the Company’s performance creates an asset that does not have an alternative use to the customer and the Company has an enforceable right to payment at all times for performance completed to date. In these cases, the Company utilizes judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenue. The Company evaluates the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjusts the measure of performance and related revenue recognition.

Any consideration payable to the Company’s customers is treated as a reduction to the transaction price and revenue, unless the payment to the customer is in exchange for distinct good and services.

Contract Balances

Customer payments are recorded as deferred revenue upon receipt or when due and may require deferral of revenue recognition to a future period until the Company satisfies its performance obligations under these arrangements. Amounts payable to the Company are recorded as accounts receivable when the Company’s right to consideration is unconditional.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"), which enhances transparency in income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 require entities to disclose (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation, (2) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated between domestic and foreign) and (3) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by federal, state and foreign). ASU 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state and local jurisdictions, among other changes. The

amendments are set to be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and are required to be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is evaluating the impact on our financial statements.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

11. Income Taxes

The Company maintains a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets due to the Company’s history of losses through December 31, 2023.

The Company files income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, the state of California and various other U.S. states. The state of California contested the Company’s tax position on revenue apportionment for upfront and milestone payments resulting from the Company’s collaboration and licensing agreements for the years 2017 and 2018. In September 2023, the Company received Notice of Proposed Assessment (“NOPA”) from the Franchise Tax Board. The Company recorded an uncertain tax position of $4.0 million in long term liabilities for the proposed tax assessment, penalties and interest through June 30, 2024. Of the unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2024, approximately $4.0 million would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. In addition, utilization of carryforward attributes and indirect federal tax effects of the assessment would result in a reduction in deferred tax assets of $5.1 million. The Company filed a protest to

contest the proposed assessment in November 2023. Due to the ongoing nature of the examination and discussions with the state of California, the Company is unable to estimate a date by which this matter will be resolved.
