  1. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

From time to time, we may be subject to various claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of business. We do not expect that the resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

  1. Revenue Recognition

Product Revenue

Following the regulatory approval in September 2025, we launched PALSONIFY and began recognizing product revenue in the U.S. from the sales to specialty distributors and specialty pharmacies.

The following table summarizes customers that represented 10% or greater of our consolidated gross product revenue:

Three months ended March 31, 2026
Customer A58%
Customer B42%

Collaboration and License Revenue

Sanwa Kagaku Kenkyusho Co., Ltd

In February 2022, we entered into the SKK License, pursuant to which we granted SKK an exclusive license to develop and commercialize paltusotine in Japan. Under the SKK License, SKK is responsible for clinical development and regulatory activities in Japan, and we retain all rights outside Japan. We also granted SKK the right to purchase supply of paltusotine for clinical and commercial requirements at cost plus a pre-negotiated percentage which was a market rate and therefore not a material right.

Pursuant to the SKK License, we received a $13.0 million nonrefundable upfront payment and would be eligible to receive up to $25.5 million in development, regulatory, and commercial milestone payments, as well as sales-based royalties upon market approval in Japan. In 2024, we updated the estimated transaction price to $14.0 million following the achievement of a development milestone. In April 2026, we achieved $1.5 million of development milestones related to SKK's NDA submission in Japan for paltusotine for the treatment of acromegaly.

Our performance obligations under the SKK License comprised the license and data exchange. Control of the license transferred to SKK at contract inception and we do not have an ongoing performance obligation to support or maintain the licensed intellectual property. Revenue allocated to the data exchange obligation is recognized over time using the cost-to-cost measure as this method represents a faithful depiction of progress toward certain ongoing paltusotine studies and related data transfer. Revenue is recognized on a gross basis as we are the principal. Deferred revenues represent the data exchange obligation and are expected to be recognized over the duration of certain paltusotine studies conducted by us.

As of March 31, 2026, no sales-based milestones or royalties have been recognized as there have been no sales of paltusotine in Japan to date, and remaining milestone payments are constrained.

Deferred revenue consisted of the following:

Cellular Longevity, Inc., doing business as Loyal

On March 24, 2023, we granted Loyal an exclusive license to develop and commercialize CRN01941, a somatostatin receptor type 2 agonist, for veterinary use. In return, we received a $0.1 million upfront payment and Loyal preferred stock valued at $2.0 million. We may also earn single-digit sales-based royalties if the product is approved.

  1. Investment In Radionetics

In October 2021, we entered into the Radionetics License with Radionetics, whereby we licensed our radiotherapeutics technology to Radionetics in exchange for 50,500,000 shares of Radionetics' common stock, equivalent to a 64% initial stake, and the Radionetics Warrant, which was exercisable for a number of shares of Radionetics common stock that would allow us to maintain up to 22% equity in Radionetics on a fully diluted basis.

In August 2023, we participated in a refinancing transaction, exercising the Radionetics Warrant to purchase 3,407,285 shares of Radionetics common stock, exchanging 32,344,371 shares of Radionetics common stock for Radionetics preferred stock, and investing $5.0 million for an additional 14,404,656 shares of Radionetics preferred stock. The Radionetics License was also amended to include up to $15.0 million in new sales milestones.

In June 2024, the Radionetics License was amended to reduce development targets and revert certain rights to us. Under the amended Radionetics License, we are eligible to receive potential sales milestones in excess of $300.0 million and single-digit royalties on net sales. In July 2024, Radionetics formed a strategic partnership with Lilly, receiving a $140.0 million upfront payment and granting Lilly the exclusive right to acquire Radionetics for $1.0 billion.

Although Radionetics is a VIE, we determined we are not the primary beneficiary and do not consolidate Radionetics’ results due to lack of control over key decisions, which rests with Radionetics’ independent board and management. We account for our investment in Radionetics under the equity method.

As of March 31, 2026, we held a 25% ownership in Radionetics consisting of common and preferred stock. The investment asset was previously written down to zero in the first quarter of 2024 withno gains or losses recorded thereafter.

R. Scott Struthers, Ph.D., our President and Chief Executive Officer, serves as chairman of the Radionetics board of directors. Pursuant to such arrangement, Dr. Struthers receives consideration in the form of both equity and a $50 thousand annual retainer for his service as a board member of Radionetics. As of March 31, 2026, Dr. Struthers has an approximately 1.3% ownership stake in Radionetics, consisting of common stock.

  1. Segment Reporting

We operate in a single reportable segment. The CODM, our President and Chief Executive Officer, assesses performance based on condensed consolidated net loss as reported on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss, supplemented by certain additional significant expense details reflected in the table below. There have been no changes in the determination of segments or the measurements used to determine reported segment loss or segment total assets discussed in our FY 2025 Form 10-K.

Segment revenue and significant segment expenses regularly reported to the CODM are included within the table below and are reconciled to condensed consolidated net loss:

(2)Other selling, general and administrative expenses is comprised of non-personnel related indirect costs incurred for the benefit of multiple administrative functions, including sales and marketing expenses, facility-related costs, legal and professional fees, insurance costs and costs to operate a public company.

During the second quarter of 2025, the company updated the presentation of certain segment expenses. The information for the period ended March 31, 2025 presented in the footnote has been updated to conform.

  1. Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock and if-converted methods. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding as inclusion of the potentially dilutive securities on loss per share would be antidilutive.

Potentially dilutive securities (in common stock equivalent shares) not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because to do so would be anti-dilutive are as follows:
