Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts are presented in thousands, except per share amounts)
- Organization and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
Crinetics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a pharmaceutical company committed to transforming the treatment of endocrine diseases and endocrine-related tumors through science rooted in patient needs. We are focused on discovering, developing, and commercializing novel therapies, with a core expertise in targeting GPCRs with small molecules that have specifically tailored pharmacology and properties.
Our first commercial product, PALSONIFY® (paltusotine), is the first once-daily, oral treatment approved by the FDA and EMA for the treatment of adults with acromegaly who had an inadequate response to surgery and/or for whom surgery is not an option. Paltusotine is also in clinical development for carcinoid syndrome associated with NETs. Our pipeline of programs includes late-stage investigational candidate atumelnant, which is currently in development for CAH and ADCS, and CRN09682, a nonpeptide drug conjugate candidate that is being developed to treat SST2 expressing NETs and other SST2 expressing solid tumors. Additional discovery programs are focused on a variety of endocrine targets such as thyroid stimulating hormone, parathyroid hormone, somatostatin receptor 3, and growth hormone, as well as GPCR-targeted oncology indications.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, and reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Our condensed consolidated balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 2025 was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The interim results presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or any other interim period. Our condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the FY 2025 Form 10-K.
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Liquidity
From inception, we have devoted substantially all of our efforts to drug discovery and development, conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, building the infrastructure necessary for commercial operations, and launching PALSONIFY in the U.S. We have a limited operating history and the sales and income potential of our business and market are unproven. While we have received FDA and EMA approval for our lead product PALSONIFY, we may continue to incur substantial operating losses even as we generate revenue from PALSONIFY, and a successful transition to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of revenue adequate to support our cost structure.
We have experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since our inception and have an accumulated deficit of $1.7 billion as of June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, we had $1.2 billion in cash, cash equivalents and investment securities, which we believe is sufficient to fund our operating cash needs for at least the next 12 months from the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Our future long-term liquidity requirements will be substantial and depend on many factors, including our ability to effectively commercialize PALSONIFY and other product candidates. We expect to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future and may need to raise substantial additional capital to accomplish our business objectives. We plan to continue to fund our losses from operations and capital funding needs through a combination of existing capital resources, product sales, equity offerings, debt financings or other sources, including potential collaborations, licenses and other similar arrangements. 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, or suspend or curtail planned programs. Any of these actions could materially harm our business, results of operations and prospects. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available in the future.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies from the FY 2025 Form 10-K.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The estimates in our condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, accrual of research and development expenses, valuation of stock-based awards, fair values of financial instruments, inventory valuation, and revenue recognition.
As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, we are not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require us to update our estimates, judgments or revise the carrying value of our assets or liabilities. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained, and are recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements as soon as they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates and any such differences may be material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
ASU 2024-03
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement–Reporting Comprehensive Income–Expense disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for PBEs. ASU 2024-03 does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for all PBEs for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the presentation of our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
ASU 2025-03
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity, which provides guidance for identifying the accounting acquirer in business combinations in which the legal acquiree is a VIE that meets the definition of a business. Under the ASU, the acquirer is determined using the factors in ASC 805, Business Combinations, rather than assuming the primary beneficiary is the acquirer. ASU 2025‑03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the presentation of our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
