We are substantially dependent on the commercial success of Papzimeos
To date, we have invested substantial efforts and financial resources in the research, development and commercialization of Papzimeos and our product candidates. Our near-term prospects, including our ability to develop our product candidates and generate revenue, and our future growth are substantially dependent on the commercial success of Papzimeos. Although we received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, we are pursing regulatory approval from the European Commission, and are preparing to file for approval from other foreign regulatory bodies, for Papzimeos for the treatment of RRP in adults, we can provide no assurances that we will obtain regulatory approval in any jurisdiction other than the U.S., which could have an adverse impact on our results of operations. In addition, the successful commercialization of Papzimeos will depend on a number of factors and involves risk, including some of the risks identified in these “Risk Factors.” One or more of these risks, many of which are beyond our control, could cause significant delays or an inability to successfully commercialize Papzimeos.
We have identified conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and we may need substantial additional capital in the future in order to fund our business.
Our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 have been prepared on the basis that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred significant losses since our inception and we expect that we will continue to incur losses in the near term as we aim to successfully execute our business plan, which includes the commercialization of PRGN-2012. Based on our balance of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $97.9 million at December 31, 2024 and forecasted negative cash flows from operating activities and purchases of property, plant and equipment, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these financial statements are issued. The forecasted negative cash flows used in our going concern analysis do not include the potential revenue from PRGN-2012 for the treatment of adults with RRP, which is considered outside of our direct control, as the BLA (which was accepted by the FDA in February 2025 under a priority review with a PDUFA target action date set for August 27, 2025) has not yet been approved.
Our ability to fund our operations is dependent upon the FDA's approval of our BLA and the successful commercialization of PRGN-2012 with revenues sufficient to support our cost structure. In addition, we may decide, or be required to raise additional capital. This additional capital could be raised through a combination of non-dilutive financings (including debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances, monetization of assets, marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements), and/or dilutive financings (including equity and/or debt financings with an equity component). There can be no assurance that new financings or other transactions will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, or at all, and such financings may adversely affect the holdings or rights of our stockholders and may cause significant dilution to existing stockholders.
Further, the doubt regarding our potential ability to continue as a going concern may adversely affect our ability to obtain new financing on reasonable terms or at all. Also, any collaborations, strategic alliances, monetization of non-core assets or marketing, distribution or licensing arrangement may require us to give up some or all of our rights to a product or technology, which in some cases may be at less than the full potential value of such rights. If we are unable to successfully commercialize PRGN-2012 or obtain additional capital, we will assess our capital resources and may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate some or all of our operations, which may include research and development, clinical trials and preparing for commercial readiness, or seeking bankruptcy protection. This may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and ability to operate as a going concern. The accompanying audited financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are not able to continue as a going concern. Additionally, if we are unable to continue as a going concern, our stockholders may lose some or all of their investment in us. See also “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 1 appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional discussion of our liquidity and ability to continue as a going concern.
We have a limited number of shares of common stock available for future issuance which could adversely affect our ability to raise capital or consummate strategic transactions.
We are currently authorized to issue 400,000,000 shares of common stock under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. As of February 15, 2025, we have issued 294,042,973 shares of common stock, approximately 28,463,388 shares of common stock were committed for issuance giving effect to the assumed exercise of all outstanding options and vesting of restricted stock units and performance stock units and approximately 70,222,215 shares of common stock initially underlying the Series A Preferred Stock and 52,666,669 shares of common stock initially underlying the Warrants. The exercisability of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrants is contingent upon us obtaining stockholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock. Due to the limited number of authorized shares common stock available for future issuance, we may not be able to raise additional equity capital, complete a merger or other business combination, unless we increase the number of shares we are authorized to issue. We would need to seek stockholder approval to increase the number of our authorized shares of common stock, and we can provide no assurance that we would succeed in amending our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to increase the number of shares of common stock we are authorized to issue which could negatively impact our business, prospects and results of operations.
Our strategic prioritization and streamlining of resources undertaken to extend our cash runway and focus more of our capital resources on PRGN-2012 might not achieve our intended outcome.
On August 6, 2024, we publicly announced a strategic prioritization of our clinical portfolio and streamlining of resources, including a reduction of over 20% of our work force, to focus on potential commercialization of PRGN-2012 for the treatment of RRP. In connection with the implementation of our strategic prioritization and streamlining of resources, we recorded non-cash impairment charges to goodwill and other assets of approximately $32.9 million, net of tax, in the second quarter of 2024 and we also recorded a charge related to employee severance and termination benefits of $2.1 million, which were paid in the third quarter of 2024. We may continue to incur additional expenses not currently contemplated due to events associated with strategic prioritization and streamlining of resources; for example, the reduction in force may have a future impact on other areas of our liabilities and obligations, which could result in losses in future periods. The reduction in force may result in unintended consequences and costs, such as the loss of institutional knowledge and expertise, attrition beyond the intended number of employees, and decreased morale among our remaining employees. In addition, while positions have been eliminated, certain functions necessary to our operations remain, and we might not successfully distribute the duties and obligations of our terminated employees among our remaining employees. The reduction in workforce could also make it difficult for us to pursue, or prevent us from pursuing, new opportunities and initiatives due to insufficient personnel, or require us to incur additional and unanticipated costs to hire new personnel to pursue such opportunities or initiatives. Moreover, we may not realize, in full or in part, the anticipated benefits and savings from this strategic prioritization and streamlining of resources due to unforeseen difficulties, delays or unexpected costs. If we are unable to realize the anticipated benefits from the strategic prioritization and streamlining of resources, or if we experience significant adverse consequences from such actions, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected. In addition, we may need to undertake additional workforce reductions or restructuring activities in the future.
On August 14, 2025, we received FDA approval for Papzimeos for adults with RRP. We anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we commercialize Papzimeos, continue to advance the preclinical and clinical development of our existing product candidates and continue our research programs as well as prepare commercial capabilities for our lead product candidate,activities, and there is a significant risk that our product candidates will fail to demonstrate adequate efficacy or an acceptable safety profile, obtain regulatory approval, or become commercially viable. As we commercialize Papzimeos and if we obtain regulatory approval of Papzimeos in other jurisdictions or indications or for our other product candidates, we expect we will incur significant commercialization expenses related to product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution. We have and are devoting substantial resources to the commercial infrastructure for Papzimeos and have not yet achieved significant product revenue. A significant period of time could pass before Papzimeos generates significant product revenue, or commercialization of our various product candidates or before the execution of contractual relationships providing for up-front payments, milestones or royalties sufficient to achieve profitability. As a result, our expenses may exceed revenues for the foreseeable future, and we may not achieve profitability. If we fail to achieve profitability, or if the time required to achieve profitability is longer than we anticipate, we may not be able to continue our business. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.
Our operations have consumed substantial amounts of cash since our inception. We expect to continue to spend substantial amounts to commercialize Papzimeos, continue the preclinical and clinical development of our current and future programs and commercialization.commercialize other product candidates. We expect our future capital requirements will be substantial and will depend on many factors, including:
•the timing, receipt, and amount of sales of Papzimeos;
•capital expenditures related to building out our manufacturing capabilitiescapabilities, further commercialization of Papzimeos and preparing for commercial readiness for product candidates;
We raised approximately $30.9 million in net proceeds in an offering of equity securities in August 2024 and approximately $78.5 million in net proceeds in an offering of equity securities in December 2024.2024 and we entered into a Loan Agreement (as defined below) that provides for a 5-year senior secured term loan facility of up to $125.0 million in September 2025. If future financings involve the issuance of equity securities, our existing shareholders would suffer further dilution. If we raise further debt financing, we may be subject to additional restrictive covenants that limit our ability to conduct our business. We may not be able to raise sufficient additional funds on terms that are favorable to us, if at all. If we fail to raise sufficient funds and continue to incur losses, our ability to fund our operations, take advantage of strategic opportunities, develop product candidates or technologies, commercialize or otherwise respond to competitive pressures could be significantly limited. If this happens, we may be forced to delay or terminate research or development programs or the commercialization of our product and product candidates resulting from our technologies, curtail or cease operations or obtain funds through strategic transactions or other collaborative and licensing arrangements that may require us to relinquish commercial rights, or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. In addition, raising funds in the current macroeconomic and geopolitical environment may present additional challenges. For example, adverse macroeconomic or geopolitical conditions, such as the disruption and uncertainty caused by heightened inflation and interest rates and slower economic growth or recession, uncertainty caused by tariffs and trade policies, and geopolitical conflicts such as the war between Russia and Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East, could result in a sustained disruption in the capital markets. We cannot predict the extent or duration of such macro-economic and geopolitical disruptions, and if they deepen or persist, this could negatively impact our ability to raise capital on favorable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available, we will not be able to successfully execute our business plan or continue our business.
Our level of indebtedness and debt service obligations could adversely affect our financial condition and may make it more difficult for us to fund our operations.
On September 3, 2025, we and certain of our subsidiaries party thereto as guarantors entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with BioPharma Credit Investments V (Master) LP and BPCR Limited Partnership as the lenders thereunder (the “Lenders”) and BioPharma Credit PLC as the collateral agent, each of which are investment entities managed by Pharmakon Advisors, LP. The Loan Agreement provides for a 5-year senior secured term loan facility of up to $125.0 million, composed of two committed tranches: (i) an initial tranche in an aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million, which was funded on September 3, 2025; and (ii) a delayed draw tranche in an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million, which is available, subject to certain conditions, until June 29, 2027 (such tranches, collectively, the “Term Loans”). The Term Loans mature on September 3, 2030 (the “Maturity Date”). The Term Loans bear interest at Term SOFR (three-month tenor), subject to a 3.75% floor, plus 6.50%, payable quarterly. The Term Loans amortize in eight equal quarterly installments beginning on September 29, 2028 through the Maturity Date. The Term Loans may be voluntarily prepaid in whole (but not in part), and are subject to make-whole, prepayment premium and exit fees, and must be prepaid upon a Change in Control (as defined in the Loan Agreement).
Our indebtedness could also have important negative consequences for our security holders and our business, results of operations and financial condition, including:
•we will need to repay the indebtedness by making payments of interest and principal, which will reduce the amount of cash available to finance our operations, our research and development efforts and other general corporate activities;
•our failure to comply with the obligations of our affirmative and restrictive covenants in the Loan Agreement could result in an event of default that, if not cured or waived, would permit the Lenders to accelerate our obligation to repay this indebtedness, and the Lenders could seek to enforce their security interest in the assets securing such indebtedness; and
•we may be more vulnerable to downturns in our business, our industry or the economy in general.
In addition, we may borrow additional capital in the future to fund clinical development and our future growth, including pursuant to the Loan Agreement or potentially pursuant to new arrangements with different lenders. To the extent additional debt is added to our current debt levels, the risks described above could increase.
Congressional disagreement over the federal budget and the maximum amount of debt the federal government is permitted to have outstanding (commonly referred to as the “debt ceiling”) has previously caused the U.S. federal government to shut down for periods of time. Generally, if effective legislation to fund government operations and manage the level of federal debt is not enacted, the federal government may suspend its investments for certain government accounts, among other available options, in order to prioritize payments on its obligations. A failure by the U.S. Congress to pass spending bills or address the debt ceiling at any point in the future would increase the risk of default by the U.S. on its obligations, the risk of a lowering of the U.S. federal government's credit rating, and the risk of other economic dislocations. Such a failure, or the perceived risk of such a failure, could consequently have a material adverse effect on the financial markets and economic conditions in the U.S. and globally. TwiceFor example, over the last several years, the U.S. government has shut down several times, including for 43 days beginning in October 2025, and certain regulatory agencies, such as the FDA and the SEC, have had to furlough critical employees and stop critical activities. If a prolonged government shutdown or other disruption occurs again in the pastfuture, decade, by the appropriations legislation deadline Congress failed to pass a new appropriations bill or continuing resolution to temporarily extend funding, resulting in U.S. government shutdowns that caused federal agencies to halt non-essential operations andit may have negative consequences for usus, including:
OurWe businessare isheavily dependent on the successful commercialization of Papzimeos in the U.S. and other jurisdictions, where we may obtain regulatory approval, and our ability to advance our current and future product candidates through clinical trials, obtain marketing approval, and ultimately commercialize them.
We currently have one product approved for commercial sale, Papzimeos, which was approved by the FDA on August 14, 2025, for adults with RRP and are otherwise early in our development efforts. We initiated our first clinical trial for our lead programs in October 2018 andand, other than Papzimeos, currently have a pipeline of clinical and preclinical programs. Our ability to generate product revenues, which we do not expect will occur until a product candidate is approved by FDA, if ever, will depend heavily on the successful commercialization of Papzimeos in the United States and in other jurisdictions, if approved. as well as the successful development and eventual commercialization of some or all of theseour existing product candidates, and any future product candidates we develop, which may never occur. Our current and future product candidates will require additional preclinical or clinical development, management of clinical, preclinical and manufacturing activities, marketing approval in the United States and other jurisdictions, coverage from pricing and reimbursement authorities, sufficient cGMP manufacturing supply for both preclinical and clinical development and commercial production, building of a commercial organization and substantial investment, and significant marketing efforts before we generate any revenues from product sales.
•the ongoing build up of aour commercialization organization and successful launch of commercial sales of our product candidates, if approved;
•maintenance of a continued acceptable safety, tolerability and efficacy profile of the product candidates following approval;
The market opportunities for our product and product candidates may be smaller than we estimate.
Our projections of both the number of people who have the diseases we are targeting, as well as the subset of people with these diseases who are in a position to receive our product and product candidates, and who have the potential to benefit from treatment with our product and product candidates, are based on our own estimates. These estimates may be inaccurate or based on imprecise data. We do not have verifiable internal marketing data regarding the potential size of the commercial market for any of our product and product candidates, nor have we obtained current independent marketing surveys to verify the potential size of the commercial markets for our current product and product candidates or any future product candidates. Since our current product and product candidates and any future product candidates will represent novel approaches to treating various conditions, it may be difficult, in any event, to accurately estimate the potential revenues from theseproduct and product candidates.
For example, our estimates of the number of people who have recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, or RRP, the target indication for PRGN-2012,Papzimeos, is based on our own internal estimates including, commissioned research which reviewed a variety of sources, including scientific literature, surveys of treating physicians, analogous products based on disease severity, prevalent population and efficacy of therapy and other forms of market research. These estimates may be inaccurate or based on imprecise data. As RRP is a rare disease and there are currently no approved therapeutics for RRP,RRP other than Papzimeos, limited research is available regarding its prevalence and severity and the market opportunity for a therapeutic. In addition, the addressable market opportunity for PRGN-2012Papzimeos will depend on, among other things, the final labeling for PRGN-2012Papzimeos as agreed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or comparable regulatory authorities in other jurisdictions, acceptance by the medical community and patient access and drug pricing and reimbursement. In addition, the prevalence of RRP could be reduced as a result of the increased use of vaccines like Gardasil. The number of patients in the addressable markets may turn out to be lower than expected, patients may not be otherwise amenable to treatment with our product or product candidate or new patients may become increasingly difficult to identify or gain access to, all of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
The time required to obtain approval by the FDA and comparable foreign authorities is unpredictable but typically takes many years following the commencement of clinical trials and depends upon numerous factors, including the substantial discretion of the regulatory authorities. There can be no assurance that we will not experience problems or delays in developing new product candidates and that such problems or delays will not cause unanticipated costs, or that any such development problems can be solved. We also may experience unanticipated problems or delays in expanding our manufacturing capacity, which may delay or prevent the completion of clinical trials and the commercialization of our product and product candidates on a timely or profitable basis, if at all. For example, we, a collaborator, or another group may uncover a previously unknown risk with any of our product candidates, which may prolong the period of observation required for obtaining regulatory approval, may necessitate additional clinical testing, or may otherwise result in a change in the requirements for approval of any of our product candidates. For example, although Papzimeos has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of adults with RRP, we may be unable to obtain approval for Papzimeos in any jurisdiction outside the United States, including in the European Union.
The field of gene therapy is still early in development. The FDA first approved a gene therapy for use in humans in 2017, and to date has only approved a limited number. Clinical trials with gene therapies have encountered a multitude of significant technical problems in the past, including unintended integration with host DNA leading to serious adverse events, poor levels of protein expression, transient protein expression, viral overload, immune reactions to either viral capsids utilized to deliver DNA, DNA itself, proteins expressed or cells transfected with DNA. There can be no assurance that our development efforts will be timely or successful, that we or our collaborators will receive the regulatory approvals necessary to initiate clinical trials, where applicable, or that we will ever be able to successfully commercialize a product candidate other than Papzimeos enabled by our technologies. To the extent that we utilize viral constructs or other systems to deliver gene therapies and the same or similar delivery systems demonstrate unanticipated and/or unacceptable side effects in preclinical or clinical trials conducted by ourselves or others, we may be forced to, or elect to, discontinue development of such product candidates.
CellPapzimeos and geneour therapiesproduct candidates are novel, complex, and difficult to manufacture.
The manufacturing processes that we use to produce our product and product candidates for human therapeutics are complex, novelcomplex and have not been validated for commercial use.novel. Several factors could cause production interruptions, including equipment malfunctions, facility contamination, raw material shortages or contamination, natural disasters, disruption in utility services, human error, or disruptions in the operations of our suppliers. Our synthetic biology product candidates require processing steps that are more complex than those required for most chemical pharmaceuticals. Moreover, unlike chemical pharmaceuticals, the physical and chemical properties of a biologic often cannot be fully characterized. As a result, assays of the finished product may not be sufficient to ensure that the product will perform in the intended manner. Accordingly, it is necessary to employ multiple steps to control our manufacturing process to assure that the product or product candidate is made strictly and consistently in compliance with the process. Problems with the manufacturing process, even minor deviations from the normal process, could result in product defects or manufacturing failures that result in lot failures, product recalls, product liability claims, or insufficient inventory. We have developed our proprietary electroporation device, UltraPorator, to permit the rapid and cost-effective manufacturing of our UltraCAR-T therapies, but we may face challenges in the production and implementation of this device, which may, in turn, adversely impact the therapeutic candidates. We may encounter problems achieving adequate quantities and quality of clinical-grade materials that meet FDA, EMA, or other applicable standards or specifications with consistent and acceptable production yields and costs.
Our product and our product candidates may cause undesirable side effects or have other properties that could halt their clinical development, delay or prevent their regulatory approval, limit their commercial potential, or result in significant negative consequences.
Additionally, for Papzimeos or if any of our other product candidates receive marketing approval, the FDA could require us to adopt a REMS to ensure that the benefits outweigh its risks, which may include, among other things, a medication guide outlining the risks of the product for distribution to patients, a communication plan to healthcare practitioners, and provider certification. Such requirements could prevent us from achieving or maintaining market acceptance of our product or product candidates and could significantly harm our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.
We have chosen to prioritize commercialization of Papzimeos and the selective development of certain of our product candidates. We may expend our limited resources on product candidates or indications that do not yield a successful product and fail to capitalize on other opportunities for which there may be a greater likelihood of success or may be more profitable.
Because we have limited resources, we are required to strategically prioritize our application of resources to particular development efforts, as we have done in our strategic reprioritization that we announced on August 2024, to focus onincluding the potential commercialization of PRGN-2012Papzimeos for the treatment of RRP. As part of the strategic prioritization, we decided to minimize spending on our UltraCAR-T spend,programs, and have paused enrollment in PRGN-3005 and PRGN-3007 UltraCAR-T clinical trials. We have also reduced our focus on preclinical programs, while continuing select projects we believe could provide future near-term validation of our technology platforms. We have also shutdownshut down our ActoBio subsidiary operations. ThereThough we have started to commercialize Papzimeos, there is no assurance that PRGN-2012Papzimeos will successfully be commercialized and be profitable and by deprioritizing the other programs and product candidates, we may be failing to capitalize on opportunities for which there may be a greater likelihood of success or be more profitable, and our revenues, financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected.
We may seek designation for our AdenoVerse platform technology as a designated platform technology, but we might not receive such designation, and even if we do, such designation may not lead to a faster regulatory review or approval process.
We may seek designation for our AdenoVerse platform technology as a designated platform technology. Under FDORA, a platform technology incorporated within or utilized by a drug or biological product is eligible for designation as a designated platform technology if: (1) the platform technology is incorporated in, or utilized by, a drug approved under an NDA or BLA; (2) preliminary evidence submitted by the sponsor of the approved or licensed drug, or a sponsor that has been granted a right of reference to data submitted in the application for such drug, demonstrates that the platform technology has the potential to be incorporated in, or utilized by, more than one drug without an adverse effect on quality, manufacturing, or safety; and (3) data or information submitted by the applicable person indicates that incorporation or utilization of the platform technology has a reasonable likelihood to bring significant efficiencies to the drug development or manufacturing process and to the review process. A sponsor may request the FDA to designate a platform technology as a designated platform technology concurrently with, or at any time after, submission of an IND application for a drug that incorporates or utilizes the platform technology that is the subject of the request. If so designated, the FDA may expedite the development and review of any subsequent original NDA or BLA for a drug that uses or incorporates the platform technology. Even if we believe our AdenoVerse platform technology meets the criteria for such designation, the FDA may disagree and instead determine not to grant such designation. In addition, the receipt of such designation for a platform technology does not ensure that a drug will be developed more quickly or receive a faster FDA review or approval process. Moreover, the FDA may revoke a designation if the FDA determines that a designated platform technology no longer meets the criteria for such designation. For example, in July 2025, the FDA revoked Sarepta Therapeutics’ platform technology designation for AAVrh74 given new safety information that suggested the preliminary evidence on which the designation was based was insufficient to demonstrate that its platform technology had the potential to be incorporated in, or utilized by, more than one drug without an adverse effect on safety.
Risks Related to the Commercialization of our Product and Product Candidates and Other Legal Compliance Matters
Even if a current or futureOur product candidateand receivesproduct marketing approval, itcandidates may fail to achieve the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, third-party payers, and others in the medical community necessary for commercial success.
Ethical, social, and legal concerns about gene and cell therapies could result in additional regulations restricting or prohibiting our product and product candidates. Even with the requisite approvals from the FDA in the United States, the EMA in the European Union, and other regulatory authorities internationally, the commercial success of Papzimeos and of our product candidates will depend, in part, on their acceptance by physicians, patients, and healthcare payers as medically necessary, cost-effective, and safe. Public perception may be influenced by claims that gene and cell therapies are unsafe, and Papzimeos and any product candidate that we commercialize may not gain acceptance by physicians, patients, healthcare payers, and others in the medical community. In particular, our success will depend upon appropriate physicians prescribing treatments that involve the use of our product and product candidates in lieu of, or in addition to, existing treatments they are already familiar with and for which greater clinical data may be available. If these products do not achieve an adequate level of acceptance, we may not generate significant product revenue to make the products profitable.
Failure by us to maintain a manufacturing supply chain to appropriately and adequately supply Papzimeos for commercial and future clinical uses would adversely affect our ability to commercialize Papzimeos and our business and business prospects could be severely harmed.
The manufacture of Papzimeos must comply with applicable regulatory standards for commercial uses and current and potential future clinical trials. The process of manufacturing Papzimeos is complex and subject to several risks, including:
•the ability to consistently manufacture and attain sufficient production yields with acceptable quality control and quality assurance to meet market demand for our commercialization of Papzimeos, as well as the needs for continuing clinical trials;
•our ability to maintain existing commercial supply agreements and to establish additional or alternative supply agreements if necessary, including our ability to successfully transfer manufacturing technology and attain regulatory approval at any such additional or alternative suppliers;
•supply chain issues, including the timely availability of product and management of shelf-life, including raw materials, active pharmaceutical ingredient, or API, and drug product and other supplies, and the cost of procuring the foregoing, any of which may be impacted by a number of factors, including the effects of macroeconomic or other global conditions, such as increased tariffs, renegotiation of existing international trade agreements, escalating trade tensions and other trade restrictions;
•shortage of qualified personnel internally or at any of our third party suppliers;
•our ability to safeguard our manufacturing facilities from harm by physical or cyber threats; and
•ongoing compliance with regulatory requirements, which vary in each country.
As a result of these and other risks, we may be unable to maintain a manufacturing infrastructure and supply chain capable of providing Papzimeos for commercial use, which could delay or adversely affect our product commercialization efforts; result in lost sales; delay or result in a cessation of our current or potential future clinical trials; delay or preclude potential future regulatory approvals of Papzimeos in other jurisdictions or indications; and could cause financial and reputational harm.
We rely on third parties for certain aspects of the manufacture of our product, and we expect to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. This reliance on third parties increases the risk that we will not have sufficient quantities of our product or that such quantities may not be available at an acceptable cost, which could delay, prevent or impair our development or potential future commercialization efforts.
While we currently use our internal cGMP manufacturing capabilities in Germantown, Maryland for the commercial manufacturing of Papzimeos bulk drug substance, we rely, and expect to continue to rely, on third parties for certain aspects of commercial manufacture, packaging and distribution. This reliance on third parties increases the risk that we will not have sufficient quantities of our product on a timely basis or at all, or that such quantities will be available at an acceptable cost or quality, which could delay, prevent or impair our development ongoing commercialization efforts.
We rely on third-party manufacturers, which entails additional risks, including:
•failure of third-party manufacturers to comply with regulatory requirements and maintain quality assurance;
•failure of third-party manufacturers to perform the manufacturing process adequately;
•breach of supply agreements by the third-party manufacturers;
•failure to supply components, intermediates, services, or product according to our specifications;
•failure to supply components, intermediates, services, or product according to our schedule or at all;

We are a dedicated discovery and clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company advancingspecializing in the next generationadvancement of geneinnovative andprecision cellmedicines therapiesto address difficult-to-treat diseases with the overall goal of improving outcomes for patients with significanthigh unmet medicalpatient needs.need. Precigen is dedicated to advancing scientific breakthroughs from proof-of-concept through commercialization. We are leveraging our proprietary technology platforms to develop product candidates designed to target urgent and intractable diseases in our core therapeutic areas of immuno-oncology, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases. We have developed an extensive pipeline of therapies across multiple indications.
We believe that our array of technology platforms uniquely positions us among other biotechnology companies to advance precision medicine. Precision medicine is the practice of therapeutic product development that takes into account specific genetic variations within populations impacted by a disease to design targeted therapies to improve outcomes for a disease or patient population. Our proprietary and complementary technology platforms provide a strong foundation to realize the core promise of precision medicine by supporting our efforts to construct powerful gene programs to drive efficacy, deliver these programs through viral, non-viral, and microbe-based approaches to drive lower costs, and control gene expression to drive safety. Our therapeutic platforms, including UltraCAR-T, AdenoVerse immunotherapy, UltraCAR-T, and ActoBiotics, are designed to allow us to precisely control the level and physiological location of gene expression and modify biological molecules to control the function and output of living cells to treat underlying disease conditions. We have developed a proprietary electroporation device, UltraPorator, designed to further streamline and ensure the rapid and cost-effective manufacturing of UltraCAR-T therapies. UltraPorator has received FDA clearance for manufacturing UltraCAR-T cells in clinical trials, and we have been dosing patients with UltraCAR-T cells manufactured with UltraPorator in our clinical trials.
Our commercial product, Papzimeos (zopapogene imadenovec-drba, PRGN-2012), is the first and only US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved therapy for the treatment of adults with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (“RRP”). Papzimeos is a non-replicating adenoviral vector-based immunotherapy designed to express a fusion antigen comprising selected regions of human papillomavirus (HPV) types 6 and 11 proteins. Papzimeos is designed to generate an immune response directed against HPV 6 and HPV 11 proteins in patients with RRP. Discovered and designed in Precigen's labs using Precigen's proprietary AdenoVerse therapeutic platform, Papzimeos represents a new therapeutic paradigm for RRP.
Our clinical pipeline includes PRGN-2012 and PRGN-2009, which are based on our AdenoVerse immunotherapy platform; and PRGN-3005, PRGN-3006 and PRGN-3007, which are built on our UltraCAR-T platform. We have completed enrollment in the Phase 1b clinical trial of PRGN-3006. As part of the strategic prioritization of our pipeline,pipeline announced in August 2024, we have paused enrollment in the PRGN-3005 and PRGN-3007 clinical trials.trials, minimized UltraCAR-T spending and plan to focus on strategic partnerships to further advance UltraCAR-T programs.

In August 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") granted full approval of Papzimeos for the treatment of adults with RRP. RRP is a rare, debilitating, and potentially life-threatening disease caused by chronic human papillomavirus ("HPV") 6 or HPV 11 infection, which results in recurrent benign tumors in the respiratory tract. RRP can lead to severe voice disturbance, a compromised airway, and recurrent post-obstructive pneumonias. Management of RRP has primarily consisted of repeated surgeries, which do not address the root cause of the disease and can be associated with significant morbidity as well as significant patient and health system burden. The approval of Papzimeos marks a historic milestone for the RRP patient community as the first and only FDA-approved therapy for the treatment of adults with RRP. As a result of Papzimeos receiving full FDA approval, a confirmatory clinical trial is not required.
Papzimeos is a non-replicating adenoviral vector-based immunotherapy designed to express a fusion antigen comprising selected regions of HPV types 6 and 11 proteins—the root cause of RRP. Papzimeos is delivered via four subcutaneous injections over a 12-week interval. Papzimeos approval is supported by safety and efficacy data from the pivotal Phase 1/2 clinical trial published in the Lancet Respiratory Medicine. The pivotal study successfully met its primary safety and pre-specified primary efficacy endpoints. Papzimeos was well-tolerated with no dose-limiting toxicities and no treatment-related adverse events greater than Grade 2. Of the patients in our study, 51% (18 out of 35) achieved complete response, requiring no surgeries in the 12 months after treatment with Papzimeos. These complete responses have been durable after Papzimeos treatment with median follow-up of 36 months as of a September 19, 2025 data cutoff.
In August 2024, we announced strategic prioritization of our pipeline to focus on development of our lead program, PRGN-2012. We plan to minimize UltraCAR-T spend and focus on strategic partnerships to further advance UltraCAR-T programs. As part of this restructuring, we have paused enrollment in PRGN-3005 and PRGN-3007 UltraCAR-T clinical trials. In addition, we are continuing PRGN-2009 Phase 2 clinical trials under a cooperative research and development agreement ("CRADA") with the National Cancer Institute ("NCI") in recurrent/metastatic cervical cancer and in newly diagnosed HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer. We have reduced our focus on preclinical programs, while continuing select projects that we believe could provide further near-term validation of our technology platforms. We have completed the shutdown of our ActoBio subsidiary operations, including the elimination of all ActoBio personnel. In conjunction with this shutdown, ActoBio's portfolio of intellectual property is available for prospective transactions. These strategic changes are designed to enable us to focus on pre-commercialization efforts on PRGN-2012, including supporting regulatory approval, conducting the confirmatory clinical trial, and manufacturing of commercial product. Additionally, we will continue acceleration of commercial readiness efforts for a potential launch.
In December 2024, we announced the completion of the rolling submission for a BLA to the FDA for PRGN-2012 for the treatment of adults with RRP. The FDA has accepted the BLA and granted priority review, with a PDUFA target action date set for August 27, 2025.
Currently, our primary revenues arise from Exemplar, whichExemplar generates product and service revenues through the development and sale of genetically engineered miniature swine models. We recognize revenue when control of the promised product or service is transferred to the customer. In 2025, revenues generated by Exemplar became less significant to the Company, and we expect this significance to greatly diminish into the future.
During the fourth quarter of 2025, we began generating revenue from commercial sales of Papzimeos, our FDA‑approved immunotherapy for RRP. While revenues from Papzimeos were limited in the year due to the timing of our commercial launch, we anticipate our future revenue to primarily be generated from Papzimeos product sales.
As we transition to a commercial‑stage company, our future revenues will increasingly depend on our ability to successfully commercialize Papzimeos, advance our proprietary programs, and bring additional products enabled by our technology platforms to market.
We anticipate that collaboration revenue will remain minimal in the near term, except in cases of future strategic transactions involving our platforms or programs. Should new collaboration agreements or strategic transactions be executed, revenue could be positively impacted.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to the timing, magnitude, and predictability of revenues, if any, to which we might be entitled.
In future periods, our revenues will primarily depend on our ability to advance and create our own programs and the extent to which we bring products enabled by our technologies to market. Other than for collaboration revenues recognized upon cancellation or modification of an existing collaboration or for revenues generated pursuant to future strategic transactions for any of our existing platforms or programs, we expect our collaboration revenues will continue to be minimal or zero in the near term, although if any new collaboration agreements or strategic transactions are entered into, revenue could be positively impacted. Our revenues will also depend upon our ability to maintain or improve the volume and pricing of Exemplar's current product and service offerings. We anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially if, and as, we continue to advance the preclinical and clinical development of our existing product candidates and our research programs. We expect some period of time, and in most cases a significant period of time, could pass before commercialization of our various product candidates or before the achievement of contractual milestones and the realization of royalties on product candidates commercialized under our collaborations. Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to the timing, magnitude, and predictability of revenues, if any, to which we might be entitled.
We do not expect any revenues that we may generate in the near term to be significant enough to fund our operations.
Cost of products and services and gross margin
Cost of products and services consists of manufacturing costs, transportation and freight-in, and indirect overhead costs (including salary and benefits related and stock-based compensation expenses) associated with the commercial manufacturing and distribution of Papzimeos, and costs related to our Exemplar business, which includes primarily labor, supplies, feed used in production, and facility charges. Approximately $4.4 million of our cost of products and services in 2025 relates to our Exemplar business.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the cost of products and services includes the costs of Papzimeos sales. Prior to August 14, 2025, regulatory approval and subsequent commercialization of Papzimeos and thus the possibility of future economic benefits from Papzimeos sales were not considered probable and inventory-related costs were expensed as incurred. As such, the inventory recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2025 does not include any costs incurred prior to August 14, 2025, which is referred to as pre-launch inventory. In addition, the cost of products related to Papzimeos on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 is comprised of the sale of pre-launch inventory, which only includes costs incurred subsequent to August 14, 2025, including period costs that were not absorbed into inventory. As of December 31, 2025, the amount of future estimated net revenues represented by existing physical pre-launch inventories is approximately $85 million based on our current pricing assumptions and projected demand for our recently approved commercial product. Due to the fact that commercialization began in late 2025, these estimates are inherently subject to significant uncertainty.
The Company expects that it will finish selling all of the pre-launch inventories in 2026. Projected sales derived from pre-launch inventories depend on several factors that could materially impact actual realized results, including the timing and scale of product adoption within our target patient population, and payer coverage. As a result, the cost of products sold related to Papzimeos will initially reflect a lower average per unit cost of materials (excluding period costs that are expensed as incurred), as pre-launch inventory is utilized for commercial production and sold to customers. As pre-launch inventory continues to absorb costs through the manufacturing process, we expect the current gross margins (exclusive of period costs expensed as incurred) will gradually decrease as pre-launch inventory is sold and will stabilize between high 80 percentages and low 90 percentages when pre-launch inventories are expected to be completely sold based on current forecasts, which include significant risks given that Papzimeos is the first therapy available to patients with RRP.
Cost of products and services, all which are related to our Exemplar reporting segment, includes primarily labor and related costs, drugs and supplies, feed used in production, and facility charges, including rent and depreciation. Fluctuations in the price of livestock and feed have not had a significant impact on our operating margins and no derivative financial instruments are used to mitigate the price risk.
•salaries and benefits, including stock-based compensation expense, as well as severance costs related to personnel in research and development functionsfunctions, if such costs exist;
•amortization of patents and related technologies acquired in mergers and acquisitions; and
•facility-related expenses, which include direct depreciation costs and unallocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities and other operating costs.costs; and
•other manufacturing costs related to the manufacture of drug products that have not yet been approved by the FDA.
Our research and development expenses are generally incurred by our reportable segments and primarily relate to either costs incurred to expand or otherwise improve our technologies,technologies or the costs incurred to develop our own products and services. Prior to August 2024, ourthe Biopharmaceuticals segmentCompany was progressing preclinical and clinical programs that targeted urgent and intractable diseases in our core therapeutic areas of immuno-oncology, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases, including PRGN-3005, PRGN-3006, PRGN-3007, PRGN-2009, AG019PRGN-2012 and PRGN-2012.AG019. As discussed in "Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 1 " appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report, in August 2024, we announced a strategic prioritization of our clinical portfolio and streamlining of resources, to focus on potential commercialization of the PRGN-2012 AdenoVerse® gene therapyimmunotherapy for the treatment of RRP. OurWe Exemplaralso segment'scontinue to advance PRGN-2009, and we have completed enrollment in the Phase 1b clinical trial of PRGN-3006.

We currently track external research and development ("R&D") expenses by platform, although we do not accumulate or track R&D expenses by individual product candidate or program. Preparing such information solely for external reporting would not reflect management’s view of the business or how R&D activities are managed. A significant portion of our R&D spending supports the development, optimization, and operation of our core therapeutic platforms and shared technologies rather than any single drug candidate.
Management evaluates R&D activities and makes resource allocation decisions based on the nature of the underlying expenses, which align with how our R&D operations are structured and managed.The table below presents R&D expenses by nature of cost for the periods presented.
In addition to the strategic prioritization,prioritization in 2024, the amount of research and development expenses may be impacted by, among other things, the number and nature of our own proprietary programs.
Selling, general and administrative, or SG&A,administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs, including stock-based compensation expense and severance,severance benefits, for employees in executive, operationalcommercial (including commercializationsales), operational, finance, information technology, legal, and corporate communications functions. Other significant SG&A expenses include rent and utilities, insurance, marketing and promotion activities, sales operations, accounting, and legal services (including the cost of settling any claims and lawsuits), and expenses associated with obtaining and maintaining our intellectual property.
SG&A expenses may fluctuate in the future depending on the scaling of our corporate functions required to support our corporate initiatives, the strategic prioritization,prioritization of assets, the build-up of our commercialization efforts and the outcomes of legal claims and assessments against us.
Other income and expense, net consists primarily of changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities (until the warrants were classified into equity in 2025), interest expense related to the term loans entered into in 2025 that mature in 2030, and interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investmentsinvestments, (which may fluctuate based on amounts invested and currentchanging interest rates),rates. gainSee on"Notes dispositionsto ofthe intellectualConsolidated Financial Statements - Notes 10 and property12 rights" (appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report for 2024),further and gain on convertible debt retirement (for 2023).discussion.
Other expense consists primarily of interest on our convertible notes, which were fully retired in the second quarter of 2023, and the reclassification of cumulative foreign translation losses due to closing the operations of ActoBio in the third quarter of 2024. See "Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements - Notes 10 and 12 " appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report for further discussion.
Segment performance
We use Segment Adjusted EBITDA as our primary measure of segment performance. We define Segment Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before (i) interest expense and interest income, (ii) income tax expense or benefit, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) stock-based compensation expense, (v) loss on settlement agreements where noncash consideration is paid, (vi) adjustments for accrued bonuses paid in equity awards, (vii) gain or loss on disposals of assets, (viii) loss on impairment of goodwill and other noncurrent assets, (ix) equity in net income (loss) of affiliates, (x) reclassification of cumulative translation gain (loss), and (xi) recognition of previously deferred revenue associated with upfront and milestone payments as well as cash outflows from capital expenditures and investments in affiliates, but includes proceeds from the sale of assets in the period sold. See "Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 16" appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report for further discussion of Segment Adjusted EBITDA.
Collaboration and licensing revenues increased by $1.8 million, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. In September 2025, the Company and PTC Therapeutics mutually agreed to terminate their existing exclusive channel collaboration ("ECC") agreement. As a result, the Company recognized the remaining deferred revenue associated with the agreement, totaling $1.8 million. There was no comparable revenue recognized in the prior year period.
Collaboration and licensing revenues decreased $0.1 million, or 100.0%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to the termination of the License Agreement with Alaunos in 2024.
Product and services revenues, and cost of products and servicesrevenues
Product and service revenues increased $3.9 million or 100.4%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by the commencement of Papzimeos product revenue, which totaled $3.4 million in 2025 following its commercial launch, and no such revenue existed in 2024. Exemplar service revenue increased by $0.5 million, reflecting growth in service activity.

Research and development expenses decreased by $11.7 million, or 22.1%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by a $5.4 million reduction in costs associated with ActoBio, including depreciation, amortization, personnel and other research and development costs after its operations were closed in 2024. External services also declined by approximately $4.0 million, due to reduced activity for contract research organizations as a result of the strategic prioritization of our pipeline announced in the third quarter of 2024. In addition, in August 2025, manufacturing related costs began to be classified as inventory with the FDA approval of Papzimeos. These costs were classified as research research and development expenses prior to the FDA approval.
Research and development expenses increased $4.5 million, or 9.2%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. This increase was primarily the result of $3.1 million of increased costs associated with the initiation of the PRGN-2012 confirmatory clinical trial, increased drug manufacturing material costs related to PRGN-2012 for potential commercial use, and professional fees incurred in conjunction with the Company’s completed BLA submission and commercial readiness planning as well as the design and implementation of our manufacturing facility. Additionally, employee-related expenses rose by $3.0 million primarily due to severance charges incurred as a result of the Precigen workforce reduction in 2024 and the suspension of ActoBio's operations.These increases were partially offset by a $1.9 million reduction in depreciation and amortization expense as a result of the impairment of noncurrent assets related to the suspension of ActoBio’s operations during the second quarter of 2024, as well as a reduction in clinical study expenses associated with programs that were deprioritized during the third quarter of 2024.
SG&A expenses increased by $28.8 million, or 69.8%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily driven by a $27.3 million increase in costs incurred related to Papzimeos commercial readiness, including sales force expansion, marketing and advertising as well as professional and other fees associated with the commercial launch of Papzimeos.
SG&A expenses increased $0.9 million, or 2.2%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. As a result of the Company's increased focus on PRG-2012, commercial readiness cost increased in the current quarter versus prior year period. In addition, the second and third quarters of 2024 included higher severance cost associated with the suspension of ActoBio's operations and the 2024 Precigen workforce reduction. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in stock compensation and insurance rates in 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.
In connection with the suspension of ActoBio’s operations, the Companywe recorded $34.5 million of impairment charges related to goodwill and long-lived assets in the second quarter of 2024. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2025, we recorded $3.9 million of impairment charge related to the Exemplar reporting unit, compared to $5.8 million of impairment chargescharge related to ourthe Exemplar reporting segment,unit compared to a $10.8 million impairment loss recorded duringin the yearprior ended December 31, 2023.year. See "Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 9" appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report for further discussion of ActoBio long-lived assets and goodwill impairment and Exemplar goodwill impairment.
Total other income (expense) net, changed from income of $7.0 million to expense of $140.1 million, resulting in a decrease of $147.1 million, or >(200)% compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by a $139.5 million increase in the fair value of warrant liabilities prior to their reclassification into permanent equity in the third quarter of 2025. Substantially all of the increase in the fair value of warrant liabilities was as a result of an increase in our common stock price at the valuation date compared to December 31, 2024.
TotalIn other income, net, increased $3.6 million, or 106% compared toaddition, the prior year ended December 31, 2023. This increase was primarily derived fromincluded an $8.5 million gain on the sale of intellectual property rights and royalty rights related to FCX-007 in December 20242024, aswhich welldid asnot a $0.5 million reduction in interest expense due to the final retirement of our Convertible Notesrecur in the secondcurrent quarter of 2023. This increase was partially offset by a reclassification of cumulative translation losses of $2.9 million, which resulted from the final closing of the ActoBio facilities in the third quarter of 2024, as well as a reduction of $1.8 million in interest income due to lower investment balances compared to the same period in 2023.year. See "Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 2" appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report for further discussion on gain on transfers of nonfinancial assets.
Deemed dividend on preferred stock
On September 15, 2025, all Series A Preferred Stockholders converted their 79,000 shares (stated value of $79.0 million) into 54,937,411 shares of common stock at the then-current conversion rate of 695.4103 shares per $1,000. Because the conversion feature resulted in a variable number of common shares to be issued, the conversion was accounted for as a redemption under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 260, resulting in the recording of a $179.0 million non-cash deemed dividend as a reduction to additional paid-in capital (and an increase in net loss attributable to common shareholders when computing net loss per share).
Net loss per share attributable to common shareholders
Net loss per share attributable to common shareholders (basic and diluted) increased to $1.37 for the year ended December 31, 2025 , compared to $0.47 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by the changes noted above (including the $139.5 million change in fair value of warrant liabilities, representing $0.45 per basic and diluted share) plus the deemed dividend, as discussed above (representing $0.57 per basic and diluted share), partially offset by a higher weighted-average number of shares outstanding, primarily due to the conversion of preferred shares into common shares during the third quarter of 2025.
Segment performance
The following table summarizes Segment Adjusted EBITDA, which is our primary measure of segment performance, for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, for each of our reportable segments.
For a reconciliation of Segment Adjusted EBITDA to net loss from continuing operations before income taxes, see "Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 16" appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report.
The following table summarizes revenues from external customers for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, for each of our reportable segments.
Biopharmaceuticals
The decline in revenues for Biopharmaceuticals was primarily due to the cancellation of the License Agreement with Alaunos in 2024. See "Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 5 " appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report for further detail. The increase in Segment Adjusted EBITDA loss was driven by capital expenditures incurred related to the build out of our cGMP manufacturing capabilities for PRGN-2012 production, costs associated with our BLA submission, the confirmatory clinical trial for PRGN-2012, the conclusion of pivotal clinical trial activities for PRGN-2012 and an increase in severance expenses linked to the closure of ActoBio and restructuring expenses at Precigen. There was also an increase in commercialization cost in preparation for PRGN-2012’s market readiness.
These increased costs were partially offset by the sale of intellectual property and royalty rights related to FCX-007 in December 2024.
Exemplar
Revenues for Exemplar decreased due to a decrease in services performed resulting from a lower demand from existing customers. The decline in Segment Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to the decreased revenues, offset by cost reduction initiatives implemented at Exemplar.

Our commercial product, Papzimeos™ (zopapogene imadenovec-drba, PRGN-2012), is the first and only USU.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved therapy for the treatment of adults with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (“RRP”). RRP is a rare, debilitating, and potentially life-threatening disease caused by chronic human papillomavirus (HPV) 6 or HPV 11 infection, which results in recurrent benign tumors in the respiratory tract. Papzimeos is a non-replicating adenoviral vector-based immunotherapy designed to express a fusion antigen comprising selected regions of HPV types 6 and 11 proteins. Papzimeos is designed to generate an immune response directed against HPV 6 and HPV 11 proteins in patients with RRP.
Papzimeos is a non-replicating adenoviral vector-based immunotherapy designed to express a fusion antigen comprising selected regions of HPV types 6 and 11 proteins. Papzimeos is delivered via four subcutaneous injections over a 12-week interval. Papzimeos approval is supported by safety and efficacy data from the pivotal Phase 1/2 clinical trial published in the Lancet Respiratory Medicine. The pivotal study successfully met its primary safety and pre-specified primary efficacy endpoints. Papzimeos was well-tolerated with no dose-limiting toxicities and no treatment-related adverse events greater than Grade 2. 51% (18 out of 35) of study patients achieved Complete Response, requiring no surgeries in the 12 months after treatment with Papzimeos. These Complete Responses remained durable for over 12 months. CompleteFifteen out of 18 (83%) complete responders demonstrated ongoing complete responses haveafter been durable aftertheir Papzimeos treatment for at least 36 months with median follow-up of 36 months (range: 36 to 51 months) as of athe SeptemberApril 19,30, 20252026 data cutoff.
Following the FDA-approval,FDA approval, we launched Papzimeos in the United States as the first and only FDA approved treatment for adults with RRP. We estimate that there are approximately 27,000 adult patients in the United States living with RRP.
Papzimeos had been granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation and Orphan Drug designation for the treatment of RRP by the FDA. In May 2026, the FDA granted a seven-year period of orphan drug exclusivity for Papzimeos for the treatment of adults with RRP through August 14, 2032. In addition, zopapogene imadenovec-drbaimadenovec has received Orphan Drug Designation for the Treatment of RRP from the European Commission as well. We submitted a Marketing Authorization Application (“MAA”) for zopapogene imadenovec-drbaimadenovec for the treatment of adults with RRP to the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”). The MAA has been validated by the EMA and is currently under review.
PRGN-2009, an investigational non-replicating adenoviral vector-based immunotherapy, based on our AdenoVerse platform, is designed to activate the immune system to recognize and target human papillomavirus-positive, or HPV+, solid tumors. PRGN-2009 leverages our UltraVector and AdenoVerse platforms to optimize HPV type 16 ("HPV 16") and HPV type 18 ("HPV 18"),18, antigen designed for delivery via a proprietary gorilla adenovector with a large genetic payload capacity and the ability for repeat administrations. Guided by our bioinformatics analysis and in silico protein engineering, PRGN-2009 encodes for a novel, multi-epitope antigen design to target HPV16 and HPV18 infected cells and potentially differentiates from the competition.
Through our UltraCAR-T therapeutics platform, we are able to precision-engineer UltraCAR-T cells to produce a homogeneous cell product that simultaneously expresses antigen-specific chimeric antigen receptor, or CAR, kill switch, and our proprietary membrane-bound interleukin-15, or mbIL15, genes in any genetically modified UltraCAR-T cell. Our decentralized and rapid proprietary manufacturing process allows us to manufacture UltraCAR-T cells overnight at a medical center's current good manufacturing practices facility ("cGMP") and reinfuse the patient the following day after gene transfer. This process improves upon current approaches to CAR-T manufacturing, which require extensive ex vivo expansion following viral vector transduction to achieve clinically relevant cell numbers that we believe can result in the exhaustion of CAR-T cells prior to their administration, limiting their potential for persistence in patients. We have developed a proprietary electroporation device, UltraPorator, designed to further streamline and ensure the rapid and cost-effective manufacturing of UltraCAR-T therapies. The UltraPorator system includes proprietary hardware and software solutions and potentially represents a major advancement over current electroporation devices by significantly reducing the processing time and contamination risk. UltraPorator is intended to be a viable scale-up and commercialization solution for decentralized UltraCAR-T manufacturing.
ActoBio developed a proprietary class of microbe-based biopharmaceuticals designed to enable expression and local delivery of disease-modifying therapeutics. We refer to these microbe-based biopharmaceuticals as ActoBiotics. In 2024, the Company completed the shutdown of ActoBio's operations. ActoBio’s lead asset, AG019, is a disease modifying antigen-specific, investigational immunotherapy for the prevention, delay, or reversal of type 1 diabetes mellitus, or T1D. We have completed a Phase 1b/2a clinical trial of AG019 in patients with early-onset T1D. In connection with the shutdown of ActioBio'sActoBio's operations, ActoBio's portfolio of intellectual property is nowbecame available for prospective transactions.
In the second quarter of 2026, we achieved profitability from continuing operations for the first time since our strategic transformation into a healthcare company in 2020, marking a pivotal milestone in our evolution. Prior to this quarter, we have incurred significant losses since our inception. Although we have recently generated income, our long-term transition to sustained profitability will depend on the continued successful commercialization of Papzimeos and the potential commercialization of other product candidates to achieve sufficient revenues to support the Company's cost structure. Products currently in our clinical pipeline will require regulatory approval and/or commercial scale-up before they may commence significant product sales and operating profits, if any. We may also enter into strategic transactions for individual platforms or programs in the future from which we may generate collaboration and licensing revenues.
We have incurred significant losses since our inception. We may continue to incur losses in the foreseeable future, and we may never achieve or maintain profitability. Our historical collaboration and licensing revenues were generated under a business model from which we have transitioned. We may enter into strategic transactions for individual platforms or programs in the future from which we may generate new collaboration and licensing revenues. We continue to generate product and service revenues through our Exemplar subsidiary and from commercial sales of Papzimeos, our FDA‑approved immunotherapy for RRP (for which we began to recognize revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025). Products currently in our clinical pipeline will require regulatory approval and/or commercial scale-up before they may commence significant product sales and operating profits.
As we continue our efforts to focus our business and generate additional capital, we may be willing to enter into transactions involving one or both of our reporting units for which we have goodwill and/or intangible assets. These efforts could result in us identifying impairment indicators or recording impairment charges in future periods. In addition, market changes and changes in judgments, assumptions, and estimates that we have made in assessing the fair value of goodwill could cause us to consider some portion or all of certain assets to become impaired.
During the fourth quarter of 2025, we commenced commercial sales of Papzimeos, our FDA-approved immunotherapy for RRP. Revenues generated from Papzimeos during 2025 were limited, primarily due to the timing of the product’s commercial launch late in the year. Looking ahead, we expect that the majority of our future revenues for the foreseeable future will be derived from sales of Papzimeos as we continue to expand our commercial activities and market presence.
As we continue to transition to a commercial‑stage company, our future revenues will increasingly depend on our ability to successfully commercialize Papzimeos, advance our proprietary programs, and bring additional products enabled by our technology platforms to market.
In addition, Exemplar generates product and service revenues through the development and sale of genetically engineered miniature swine models. We recognize revenue when control of the promised product or service is transferred to the customer. In 2025, revenues generated by Exemplar became less significant to the Company,us, and we expect this significance to greatly diminish into the future.
We do not anticipate that we will be recognizing material collaboration revenue in the near term, except in cases of future strategic transactions involving our platforms or programs. Should new collaboration agreements or strategic transactions be executed, revenue could be positively impacted.
Cost of products and services consists of manufacturing costs, transportation and freight-in, and indirect overhead costs (including salary and benefits related and stock-based compensation expenses) associated with the commercial manufacturing and distribution of Papzimeos, and costs related to our Exemplar business, which includes primarily labor, supplies, feed used in production, and facility charges. Approximately $1.0$1.1 million and $2.1 million of our cost of products and services for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 20262026, respectively, relates to our Exemplar business. Cost of products and services may also include periodic costs related to certain manufacturing services, including costs related to excess or obsolete inventory, abnormal costs, unabsorbed manufacturing and overhead costs, and manufacturing variances.
For the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the cost of products and services includes the costs of Papzimeos sales. Prior to August 14, 2025, regulatory approval and subsequent commercialization of Papzimeos and thus the possibility of future economic benefits from Papzimeos sales were not considered probable and inventory-related costs were expensed as incurred. As such, the inventory recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 does not include any costs incurred prior to August 14, 2025, which is referred to as pre-launch inventory. In addition, the cost of products related to Papzimeos on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 is comprised of the sale of pre-launch inventory, which only includes costs incurred subsequent to August 14, 2025, and includes certain period costs incurred during the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 that were not absorbed into inventory. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the amount of future estimated net revenues represented by existing physical pre-launch inventories is approximately $63$9 million based on our current pricing assumptions and projected demand for our recently approved commercial product. Due to the fact that commercialization began in late 2025, these estimates are inherently subject to significant uncertainty.
TheWe Company expectsexpect that itwe will finish selling all of the pre-launch inventories in the third quarter of 2026. Projected sales derived from pre-launch inventories depend on several factors that could materially impact actual realized results, including the timing and scale of product adoption within our target patient population, and payer coverage. As a result, the cost of products sold related to Papzimeos will initially reflect a lower average per unit cost of materials (excluding period costs that are expensed as incurred), as pre-launch inventory is utilized for commercial production and sold to customers. As pre-launch inventory continues to absorb costs through the manufacturing process, we expect the current gross margins (exclusive of period costs expensed as incurred) will gradually decrease as pre-launch inventory is soldsold. and will stabilize between high 80 percentages and low 90 percentages when pre-launch inventories are expected to be completely sold basedBased on current forecasts, which include significant risks given that Papzimeos is the first therapy available to patients with RRP.RRP, we expect that gross margins will stabilize between high 80 percentages and low 90 percentages when pre-launch inventories are completely sold.
Our research and development expenses primarily relate to either costs incurred to expand or otherwise improve our technologies or the costs incurred to develop our own products and services, including regulatory costs. Prior to August 2024, the Company was progressing preclinical and clinical programs that targeted urgent and intractable diseases in our core therapeutic areas of immuno-oncology, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases, including PRGN-3005, PRGN-3006, PRGN-3007, PRGN-2009, PRGN-2012 (now Papzimeos) and AG019. As noted above in the Overview section, as part of the strategic prioritization of our pipeline announced in August 2024, we paused enrollment in the PRGN-3005 and PRGN-3007 clinical trials, and ceased further development of AG019. We continue to advance PRGN-2009, and we have completed enrollment in the Phase 1b clinical trial of PRGN-3006 in AML. Following the FDA approval of Papzimeos in August 2025, we no longer expect to record research and development expenses related to PRGN-2012 for adults. Future costs associated with this product for adults are expected to be classified as costs of products or capitalized as inventory. We have initiated an open-label clinical trial to evaluate safety, vector shedding, and retreatment efficacy of zopapogene imadenovec-drba in adults with RRP. Additionally, we plan to initiate a clinical trial to evaluate safety and efficacy of zopapogene imadenovec-drba in pediatric RRP patients. We continue to advance PRGN-2009, and we have completed enrollment in the Phase 1b clinical trial of PRGN-3006 in AML. Costs incurred with respect to botheach of these trials will be recorded as research and development expenses in the period for which they are incurred. Exemplar's research and development activities relate to new and improved pig research models, and those costs are not significant.
Management evaluates R&D activities and makes resource allocation decisions based on the nature of the underlying expenses, which align with how our R&D operations are structured and managed.Themanaged. The table below presents R&D expenses by nature of cost for the periods presented.
In addition, although not significant, shipping and handling costs on outgoing shipments to customers are recorded as incurred in SG&A and were approximately $395$813 and $0 for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $1,208 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Advertising expense was approximately $747 and $76 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $857 and $77 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Comparison of the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025
The following table summarizes our results of operations for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025, together with the changes in those items in dollars and as a percentage (dollars are in $000s):
Total revenues increased by $21.9$54.1 million, or >200%, compared to the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025.The2025. The significant increase in total revenues for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, was primarily due to the ramp uprecording of commercial sales of Papzimeos following its FDA approval in August 2025. Revenues related to the sale of Papzimeos for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 waswere $21.6$53.1 million. No Papzimeos sales were recorded for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025, as the product had not yet been approved or launched.
Cost of productproducts and services increased $1.5by $1.7 million, or 132.6%,156.9%, compared to the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025 almost entirely due to costs related to the ramp uprecording of commercial sales of Papzimeos following its FDA approval in August 2025. Prior to regulatory approval, costs associated with the production of Papzimeos were expensed as research and development in accordance with our accounting policy. Upon FDA approval and the commencement of commercial sales, these costs are now capitalized as inventory and recognized in cost of product and services as product is sold.
R&D expenses decreased by $4.8$4.2 million, or 46.2%,36.6%, compared to the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025, primarily due to the change in the accounting treatment of Papzimeos manufacturing costs. Prior to the FDA approval of Papzimeos in August 2025, costs associated with the manufacturing of Papzimeos were expensed as R&D, as regulatory approval and the probability of future economic benefit had not yet been established. Following the FDA approval and the commencement of commercial sales, these production costs are no longer expensed as research and development, but are capitalized as inventory on the balance sheet and recognized as cost of product and services as the product is sold. We expect that R&D expenses will increase as the year progresses as we further develop PRGN-2009 and increase our research efforts.progresses.
SG&A expenses increased by $8.7$6.1 million, or 70.3%,37.9%, compared to the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025. This increase was primarily driven by commercial activities related to Papzimeos following its FDA approval in August 2025. The higher expenses reflect increased costs to support commercialization, expanded marketing and promotional activities to drive product awareness and adoption, and increased personnel costs, including stock compensation expense.
Impairment of Goodwill and other noncurrent assets
In the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded $3.9 million in impairment related to our Exemplar reporting unit with no comparable charge in the second quarter of 2026.
Total other expense, net decreasedwas by$2.6 $29.6million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to other income, net of $5.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a change of $7.7 million, or 93.9%,150.2%, compared to the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025 .2025. This change was primarily attributable to the absence of a $32.5$4.5 million chargegain related to the increasedecrease in the fair value of warrant liabilities that was recorded in the prior-year period. The prior-year increase in warrant liabilities was mainly driven by a rise in Precigen’s stock price and, to a lesser extent, by an increase in the liability for additional warrants that were expected at that point to be issued as paid-in-kind dividends on the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. The remaining change (an increase in other expense) primarily relates to an increase of $2.9$3.0 million in interest expensesexpense related to long-term debt that was entered into in the third quarter of 2025.
Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2026 and the six months ended June 30, 2025
The following table summarizes our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 (dollars in thousands):
Total revenues
Total revenues increased by $76.0 million, or >200%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The significant increase in total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was primarily due to the recording of commercial sales of Papzimeos following its FDA approval in August 2025. Revenues related to the sale of Papzimeos for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were $74.7 million. No Papzimeos sales were recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as the product had not yet been approved or launched.
Cost of product and services
Cost of products and services increased by $3.2 million, or 144.7%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 almost entirely due to costs related to the recording of commercial sales of Papzimeos following its FDA approval in August 2025. Prior to regulatory approval, costs associated with the production of Papzimeos were expensed as research and development in accordance with our accounting policy. Upon FDA approval and the commencement of commercial sales, these costs are now capitalized as inventory and recognized in cost of product and services as product is sold.
Research and development expenses
R&D expenses decreased by $9.0 million, or 41.2%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to the change in the accounting treatment of Papzimeos manufacturing costs. Prior to the FDA approval of Papzimeos in August 2025, costs associated with the manufacturing of Papzimeos were expensed as R&D, as regulatory approval and the probability of future economic benefit had not yet been established. Following the FDA approval and the commencement of commercial sales, these production costs are no longer expensed as research and development, but are capitalized as inventory on the balance sheet and recognized as cost of product and services as the product is sold. We expect that R&D expenses will increase as the year progresses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
SG&A expenses increased by $14.8 million, or 52.0%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was primarily driven by commercial activities related to Papzimeos following its FDA approval in August 2025. The higher expenses reflect increased costs to support commercialization, expanded marketing and promotional activities to drive product awareness and adoption, and increased personnel costs, including stock compensation expense.
Impairment of Goodwill and other noncurrent assets
In the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded $3.9 million in impairment related to our Exemplar reporting unit with no comparable charge in the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Total other expense, net
Total other expense, net decreased by $21.9 million, or 83.0%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. This decrease was primarily attributable to the absence of a $28.0 million charge related to the increase in the fair value of warrant liabilities that was recorded in the prior-year period. The prior-year increase in warrant liabilities was mainly driven by a rise in Precigen’s stock price and, to a lesser extent, by an increase in the liability for additional warrants that were expected at that point to be issued as paid-in-kind dividends on the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. The remaining change (an increase in other expense) primarily relates to an increase of $5.9 million in interest expense related to long-term debt that was entered into in the third quarter of 2025.
WeIn the second quarter of 2026, we achieved profitability from continuing operations for the first time since our strategic transformation into a healthcare company in 2020, marking a pivotal milestone in our evolution. Prior to this quarter, we have incurred significant losses since our inception, and as of March 31, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $2.3 billion.billion as of June 30, 2026. From our inception through MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we have funded our operations principally with proceeds received from private and public equity and debt offerings, cash received from our collaborators, cash received through sales of businesses, and through product and service sales made directly to customers. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7.5$16.3 million and investments of $49.3$22.4 million. Cash in excess of immediate requirements is typically invested primarily in money market funds, certificatecertificates of depositsdeposit and U.S. government debt securities in order to maintain liquidity and preserve capital.
In August 2024, we closed a public offering of 39,878,939 shares of our common stock, resulting in net proceeds to us of $30.9 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, fees, and an estimate of other offering expenses.
In December 2024, we issued 79,000 shares of 8.00% Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock with an initial liquidation preference and stated value of $1,000 per share, together with warrants to purchase 52,666,669 shares of common stock for net proceeds of approximately $78.5 million, after deducting offering expenses. The Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock was converted into 54,937,411 shares of common stock of the Company in the third quarter of 2025. See "Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 11" appearing elsewhere in this Report for further discussion on the issuance of the preferred stock and the conversion of such into common shares.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, our net loss was $7.9 million, which includes the following significant noncash expenses and benefits totaling $4.5 million: (i) $3.0 million of stock-based compensation expense, (ii) $1.1 million of depreciation and amortization expense, and (iii) $0.5 million of shares issued as payment for services. In addition, changes in operating assets and liabilities used $40.5 million of cash for operating activities.
During the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025,2026, our net lossincome was $54.2$12.1 million, which includes the following significant noncash expenses and benefits totaling $35.6$9.4 million: (i) $32.5 million of unrealized appreciation in the fair value of warrant liabilities, (ii) $2.7$6.6 million of stock-based compensation expense, (iiiii) $0.6$2.2 million of depreciation and amortization expense, and(iii) $0.7 million of accretion of debt discount, (iv) $0.5 million of shares issued as payment for services, partially offset by non-cash(v) benefits of $0.7$0.6 million due toof amortization of discounts on investments. In addition, changes in operating assets and liabilities providedused $2.2$83.2 million of cash for operating activities.activities, driven primarily by increases in accounts receivable and inventory in connection with the commercial launch and ramp-up of Papzimeos sales. Our customer payment terms on sales of Papzimeos are 127 days, driving the significant increase in accounts receivables.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, our net loss was $80.8 million, which includes the following significant noncash expenses and benefits totaling $36.8 million: (i) $28.0 million of unrealized appreciation in the fair value of warrant liabilities, (ii) $3.9 million impairment of goodwill, (iii) $4.3 million of stock-based compensation expense, (iv) $1.3 million of depreciation and amortization expense, and (v) $0.5 million of shares issued as payment for services, partially offset by non-cash benefits of $1.2 million due to amortization of discounts on investments. In addition, changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $8.6 million of cash for operating activities.
During the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we received $21.2$48.3 million of cash from sales and maturities of investments, net of purchases, and purchased $0.3$0.7 million of property, plant and equipment, primarily related to our manufacturing facility.
During the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025, we received $5.8$23.6 million of cash, from sales and maturities of investments, net of purchases, and purchased $0.6$1.6 million of property, plant and equipment, primarily related to the build-out of our manufacturing facility.
During the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we received $0.3$1.6 million of cash from the exercise of stock options and paid $0.1$1.5 million to taxing authorities in connection with the vesting of performance stock units.
InDuring the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025, we paid $0.4 million in issuance costs related to a prior year equity issuance, $0.5 million related to the prior year preferred stock issuance cost, and $0.5$1.8 million to taxing authorities inrelated connection with theto vesting of performanceequity stockawards, units. Weand received $0.2 million from the exercise of stock options.
Our condensed consolidated financial statements as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 have been prepared on the basis that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
Based on current projections, management believes that its existing cash, cash equivalents and short and long-term investments, combined with anticipated collection of potentialaccounts revenuereceivables from the commercialization of Papzimeos,Papzimeos (including future sales), will enable us to continue our operations for at least one year from the date of this filing. We are subject to all of the risks inherent in the development of new products (including manufacturing and commercialization of Papzimeos), and we may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors that may adversely affect our business.
The following table summarizes our significant contractual obligations and commitments from continuing operations as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and the effects such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods:
(*) Interest is calculated using a static annual rate of 10.25%, although our long-term debt carries a variable interest rate (see "Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) - Note 9" appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report).
In addition to the obligations in the table above, as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we are party to license agreements with various third parties that contain future milestones and royalty payment obligations related to development milestones and/or commercial sales of products that incorporate or use their technologies. Because these agreements are generally subject to termination by us or are dependent on certain conditions precedent within our control, no amounts are included in the tables above. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we also had research and development commitments with third parties totaling $5.0$5.4 million that had not yet been incurred.
