关于前瞻性声明的警示

本季度10-Q表格中包含根据联邦证券法解释的“前瞻性声明”,包括1933年证券法修正案第27A条和其下规定的法规,以及1934年证券交易法修正案第21E条和其下规定的法规。公司在提交给证券交易委员会(SEC)的其他报告中,提供给股东的文件和新闻发布中也可能包含前瞻性声明。此外,公司代表可能不时发表口头前瞻性声明。

公司依赖于1995年美国私人证券诉讼改革法案的安全港规定,提出了这些前瞻性声明。虽然公司认为前瞻性声明中反映的期望是合理的,但无法保证未来的结果、活动水平、表现或成就。在某些情况下,您可以通过前瞻性词汇识别这些声明,比如“预期”,“相信”,“继续”,“可能”,“估计”,“期待”,“打算”,“可能”,“计划”,“预测”,“计划”,“安排”,“应该”,“目标”,“将会”,或这些术语的否定形式和其他类似术语。本报告中的前瞻性声明包括有关公司未来财务表现的声明,包括流动性和资本资源、现金运营时间以及作为持续经营实体运营的能力;公司平台开发和作物平台基因开发的推进、时间安排和进展情况;与基因编辑有关的数据展示时间安排和其他运营活动;向客户优质种质资源转移基因的时间安排;种子公司客户商业化公司产品的时间安排及其实际商业化后农民对带有公司特质的种质的采纳时间和程度;公司生产力特质提供竞争性产量提升的能力;基因编辑解决大规模气候变化的能力;基因编辑相关监管发展的时间和性质;公司植物特质市场机会,包括可达到的面积数量和公司预期获得的特质费用;以及公司进入并保持重要客户合作的能力。这些及其他前瞻性声明是基于公司当前期望、目标和意图对未来事件和趋势的预测和展望,并基于目前的假设。由于各种因素,包括但不限于:公司需要额外的近期资金来为其活动提供资金,并面临着以可接受条件或根本无法获得额外资本的挑战;预期或现有竞争发生变化;公司知识产权保护面临挑战以及捍卫知识产权权利所需的意外成本;用于公司平台或特质产品开发工作所需的时间和资源增加或意外要求;公司在开发活动中倚赖第三方,并用于商业化;与有效许可生产力特质和可持续成分产品相关的挑战;农民未能认识含有公司特征的种质的价值或农民和加工商在有效地与含有公司特质的作物合作方面出现失败的风险;在考虑到公司重新调整的战略重心时,在公司平台或特质产品开发工作中出现的延误或中断,尤其是在非稻谷和非疾病项目方面发生的挑战;公司在大规模上廉价生产高质量植物和种子的依赖程度;公司依赖Cibus Global的分配以付税和支付公司及一般开支的风险;不利或对基因编辑过程或产品施加重大负担的监管发展;欧盟有关监管发展的延误和不确定性;公司实现商业成功的能力;农业部门面临的商品价格和其他市场风险;可能使公司技术过时的技术发展;公司减少工作人员数量和其他减成本措施带来的影响,可能包括运营和战略挑战;宏观经济和市场条件的变化,包括通胀、供应链限制和利率上升;资本市场的扭曲和获得流动性的挑战以及这种流动性挑战对公司能否按照其业务计划执行的影响;与合并交易相关的任何诉讼的结果;公司对金融资源支持运营的时间段的评估;以及《项目1A.风险》中描述的风险和不确定性。

市场数据

本季度10-Q表格中包含了基于独立行业出版物、其他公开信息以及公司内部信息和估计(包括其对产品潜在市场的了解和迄今为止的经验)的市场数据和行业统计数据和预测。虽然公司认为第三方来源是可靠的,但并不保证从这些来源提取的信息的准确性或完整性,公司也没有独立验证这些信息。同样地,尽管公司认为其管理估计是合理的,但这些估计并未经过任何独立来源的验证。本季度报告中提供的市场和行业数据和估计涉及风险和不确定性,并可能根据各种因素发生变化,包括《1A.风险因素》部分中讨论的内容,以及提交给SEC的年度报告和其他后续10-Q表格和8-k表格中讨论的内容。有关公司行业或其所在行业绩效的预测和其他前瞻性估计涉及前瞻性陈述的风险和不确定性,具体描述在标题为“关于前瞻性陈述的注意事项”的部分下。因此,独立方和公司所做估计中表达的结果可能与此信息上的表达有实质差异,投资者不应过度依赖这些信息。

Nature of Business and Organization

Cibus, Inc. completed the Merger Transactions (as defined below under “—Completion of Merger Transactions”) on May 31, 2023, with Cibus Global, LLC (Cibus Global), and the Company carries on its business through Cibus Global and its subsidiaries. Cibus is the sole managing member of Cibus Global and as sole managing member, the Company operates and controls all of the business and affairs of Cibus Global. As a result, the Company consolidates the financial results of Cibus Global and its subsidiaries and reports redeemable noncontrolling interest representing the economic interest in Cibus Global held by the other members of Cibus Global.

Cibus Global, a Delaware limited liability company, was formed on May 10, 2019. Immediately prior to the effective date of this formation, Cibus Global was organized as a British Virgin Islands company (Cibus Global, Ltd.), which was formed on September 11, 2008.

Cibus Global is a plant trait company using gene editing technologies to develop and license gene edited plant traits that improve farming productivity or produce renewable low carbon plant products.

Completion of Merger Transactions

On May 31, 2023, the Company completed the business combination transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 13, 2023, as amended by the First Amendment thereto dated as of April 14, 2023 (as amended, the Merger Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, the Merger Transactions), by and among Legacy Calyxt; Calypso Merger Subsidiary, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company; Cibus Global; and certain blocker entities party thereto. Among other things, as part of the Merger Transactions, the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation was further amended and restated (the Amended Certificate of Incorporation). The Company is organized in an “Up-C” structure, and the Company’s only material asset consists of membership units of Cibus Global.
The Amended Certificate of Incorporation designates two classes of the Company’s common stock: (i) Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Class A Common Stock), which shares have full voting and economic rights, and (ii) Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Class B Common Stock), which shares have full voting, but no economic rights. Each share of Legacy Calyxt’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (Legacy Common Stock) existing and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Transactions remained outstanding as a share of Class A Common Stock without any conversion or exchange thereof.

At the closing of the Merger Transactions, the Company contributed all of its assets and liabilities to Cibus Global, in exchange for common units of Cibus Global (Common Units). The Company issued an aggregate of 16,527,484 shares of Class A Common Stock (including 1,019,282 shares of restricted Class A Common Stock) and 4,642,636 shares of Class B Common Stock to Cibus Global equityholders, as consideration in the Merger Transactions, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Upon closing, Legacy Calyxt stockholders held approximately 4.8 percent of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company and legacy holders of membership units of Cibus Global (including profits interest units and warrants) held approximately 95.2 percent of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company.

The primary purpose of the merger was to bring together the technology platforms and facilities of two pioneering companies to create a leading agricultural technology company for the development of productivity traits and to consolidate significant patented plant

agricultural gene editing technology.

Reverse Stock Splits

Prior to the Merger Transactions, Legacy Calyxt effected a one-for-ten reverse stock split (the First Reverse Stock Split) of the Legacy Common Stock, which became effective on April 24, 2023. The First Reverse Stock Split was reflected on the Nasdaq Capital Market beginning with the opening of trading on April 25, 2023.

Immediately prior to the Merger Transactions, the Company effected a one-for-five reverse stock split (the Second Reverse Stock Split and, together with the First Reverse Stock Split, the Reverse Stock Splits) of the Legacy Common Stock, which became effective on May 31, 2023. The Second Reverse Stock Split was reflected on the Nasdaq Capital Market beginning with the opening of trading of the Class A Common Stock on June 1, 2023.

No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Splits and instead, fractional shares were rounded up to the nearest whole share number.
The par value and authorized shares of Legacy Common Stock and preferred stock of the Company were not adjusted as a result of the Reverse Stock Splits.

Pursuant to the Amended Certificate of Incorporation, following the consummation of the Merger Transactions, the Company is authorized to issue up to 310,000,000 shares, consisting of (i) up to 300,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, divided into (A) up to 210,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and (B) up to 90,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock and (ii) up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. Unless otherwise noted, all share and per share amounts in these financial statements have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to give effect to the Reverse Stock Splits.

Share information related to the Company's common stock as of September 30, 2024, is as follows:

Class A Common StockClass B Common StockTotal Common Stock
Authorized210,000,00090,000,000300,000,000
Issued26,866,9043,112,51629,979,420
Outstanding26,429,6303,112,51629,542,146


Class A Restricted Stock

In connection with the Merger Transactions, the Company issued restricted shares of Class A Common Stock (Class A Restricted Stock), which remain subject to vesting conditions, to Cibus Global Members that held unvested profits interest units at the time of the consummation of the Merger Transactions. Shares of Class A Restricted Stock are considered to be legally issued and outstanding as of the date of grant, notwithstanding that the shares remain subject to risk of forfeiture if the vesting conditions for such shares are not met. For financial statement presentation purposes, Class A Restricted Stock is treated as issued, but will only be treated as outstanding after such awards have vested and, therefore, have ceased to be subject to a risk of forfeiture. Accordingly, unvested shares of Class A Restricted Stock are excluded from the calculation of net loss per share of Class A Common Stock.

Going Concern

The Company has incurred losses since its inception. The Company’s net loss was $256.9 million and cash used for operating activities was $44.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The Company’s primary source of liquidity is its cash and cash equivalents, with additional capital resources accessible, subject to market conditions and other factors, from the capital markets, including through offerings of common stock or other securities.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $28.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and $21.9 million of current liabilities.

The Company anticipates that it will continue to generate losses for the next several years. Over the longer term and until the Company can generate cash flows sufficient to support its operating capital requirements, it expects to finance a portion of future cash needs through (i) cash on hand, (ii) commercialization activities, which may result in various types of revenue streams from future product development agreements and technology licenses, including upfront and milestone payments, annual license fees, and royalties, (iii) government or other third party funding, (iv) public or private equity or debt financings, or (v) a combination of the foregoing.

On January 2, 2024, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement (Sales Agreement) with Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (Stifel). Pursuant to the terms of the Sales Agreement, the Company may offer and sell through Stifel, from time-to-time and at its sole discretion, shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $80.0 million (ATM Facility). During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued 974,727 shares of Class A Common Stock and received net proceeds of approximately $16.9 million from the ATM Facility.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The financial statements do not
- 11 -


include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of the uncertainties described above.

Management will need to raise additional capital to support its business plans to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these financial statements are issued. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company instituted cost reduction initiatives designed to preserve capital resources for the advancement of its priority objectives. Such initiatives included reductions in capital expenditures, streamlining of independent contractor utilization and cost management, reduced and prioritized spending on business travel, careful management of contract approvals to ensure they align with priority objectives, and prioritization of near-term payment obligations.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company initiated additional cost reduction actions designed to preserve capital resources for the advancement of its streamlined priority objectives, which initiatives include reductions in expenditures for consultants and other third-party service providers, organizational restructuring and related talent optimization, and streamlining of rent and facility expenses, including the non-renewal of the lease for the Company’s trait development facility for editing plants in San Diego, California upon expiration in August 2025.

These cost reduction initiatives alone will not be sufficient to forestall a cash deficit. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital in a sufficient amount or on acceptable terms, the Company may have to implement additional, more stringent cost reduction measures to manage liquidity, and the Company may have to significantly delay, scale back, or cease operations, in part or in full. If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of additional debt or equity securities, including as part of a strategic alternative, it could result in substantial dilution to its existing stockholders and increased fixed payment obligations, and these securities may have rights senior to those of the Company’s shares of common stock. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date of issuance of these financial statements. Any of these events could significantly impact the Company’s business, financial condition, and prospects.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis. Although estimates are based on the Company’s historical experience, knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately materially differ from these estimates and assumptions. Key estimates made by the Company include revenue recognition, useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets, valuation of equity-based awards and related equity-based compensation expense, valuation of intangible assets, valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, the assumptions underlying the determination of the estimated incremental borrowing rate for the determination of the Company’s operating lease right-of-use (ROU) assets, valuation of warrant liabilities, and the valuation of the Royalty Liability (defined below under “Royalty Liability - Related Parties
).

Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in these condensed consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. Under ASC 820, fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts its business. ASC 820 clarifies fair value should be based on assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability and establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to observable unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

The carrying amounts reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for notes payable with similar terms and consideration of default and credit risk, the carrying value of the notes payable approximates fair value, which is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash in readily available checking and money market accounts. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses with these financial institutions.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Finite-Lived Intangible Assets

The Company evaluates long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets for potential impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company reviews the recoverability of the net book value of long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets whenever events and circumstances indicate that the net book value of an
- 12 -


asset may not be recoverable from the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition (Triggering Event). In cases where a Triggering Event occurs and undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the net book value, the Company recognizes an impairment loss equal to an amount by which the net book value exceeds the fair value of the asset. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company experienced a Triggering Event and assessed its long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets for impairment, however, the assets net book values did not exceed their fair values based on expected undiscounted future cash flows and no impairment loss was recognized. The Company has not recognized any impairment losses related to long-lived assets or finite-lived intangible assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023.

Goodwill

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the purchase consideration paid in a business combination over the fair value of the assets acquired less liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment at least annually or when events and circumstances indicate that fair value of a reporting unit may be below its carrying value. The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill for impairment annually as of November 1 each year. The Company has one reporting unit. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount or elects to bypass such assessment. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, or the Company elects to bypass the qualitative assessment, it performs a quantitative test by determining the fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, then an impairment loss is recognized for the difference.

During the third quarter of 2024, the Company experienced a Triggering Event and assessed its goodwill for impairment. The Company considered the decline in its stock price since its last annual assessment and concluded it was more likely than not that its goodwill would be impaired. The Company then performed a quantitative analysis and concluded that its goodwill was impaired. Management makes critical assumptions and estimates in completing impairment assessments of goodwill. The Company utilized the discounted cash flow method to calculate the fair value for its goodwill. The Company's cash flow projections look several years into the future and include assumptions on variables such as future royalties and operating margins, economic conditions, probability of success, market competition, inflation, and discount rates. The Company utilized its most recent cash flow projections in combination with the decline of the Company's stock price as of September 30, 2024, to calculate the fair value of its goodwill using a long-term growth rate of 3 percent and a discount rate of 37 percent, which is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement.
The Company determined its goodwill was impaired by $181.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, which was recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Contract assets primarily include amounts related to contractual rights to consideration for completed performance not yet invoiced. The Company recognized $0.1 million in contract assets as of September 30, 2024, which are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. There were $0.2 million in contract assets as of December 31, 2023.

The Company records contract liabilities when cash payments are received or due in advance of performance, primarily related to advances of upfront and milestone payments from contract research and collaboration agreements. Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company expects to recognize the amounts included in deferred revenues within one year.

The following table represents the deferred revenue activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2024:

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, $0.1 million of the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2022, was recognized as revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Royalty Liability – Related Parties

The royalty liability - related parties (Royalty Liability) calculation is based on the Company’s current estimates of future Subject Revenues (as defined in Note 10) collected by the Company from customers and, in turn, expected Royalty Payments (as defined in Note 10) based on these Subject Revenues to be paid to Royalty Holders (as defined in Note 10) over the life of the arrangement based on 10 percent of the actual Subject Revenues collected. The Warrant Exchange Agreement (as defined in Note 10) is on a cash basis meaning that all Royalty Payments to Royalty Holders in a given period are based on cash actually collected by the Company for Subject Revenues in that period. The Company will periodically reassess the estimated future Royalty Payments using internal projections and external sources. If the amount or timing of these payments significantly deviates from the original estimates, an adjustment will be recorded prospectively as an increase or decrease to interest expense. Fluctuations in the Royalty Liability balance, resulting from changes in Cibus' business model and anticipated Subject Revenues, may cause fluctuations in the Company’s earnings.

Estimates of total future Subject Revenues to be collected from customers are inherently uncertain. Such estimates are impacted by management’s estimate of the number of total acres for various geographies on which seeds with each Cibus trait will be planted, which is based on industry sources or references regarding the need for a specific trait in specific crops and geographies, taking into account assumptions about competition, trait relevance, switching costs and adoption timeframes, and various other factors. Such estimates are also impacted by management’s assumptions regarding the potential per acre fees that the Company may receive in respect of applicable traits, taking into account available market information regarding competitors’ current trait fees as well as assumptions regarding competition, trait relevance and trait value in specific geographies and potential savings to farmers, switching costs, and various other factors.

See Note 10 for further details.

Stock-Based Compensation

The valuation of stock options is a critical accounting estimate that requires the use of judgments and assumptions that are likely to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company generally measures the fair value of employee and nonemployee stock-based awards on their grant date and records compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the related service period of the award, which is generally the vesting period. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option on the grant date, or other measurement date if applicable, using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires it to make predictive assumptions regarding employee exercise behavior, future stock price volatility, and dividend yield. The Company generally measures compensation expense for grants of restricted stock units and restricted stock awards using the Company’s share price on the date of grant. The Company may use a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model when estimating the fair values of performance stock units (PSUs), which requires the Company to make predictive assumptions. The Company estimates fair values and accounts for employee and nonemployee awards in a similar manner.

Due to the Company’s limited history, it does not always have sufficient historical stock option activity to make predictive assumptions based solely on its stock or stock option activity for the Black-Scholes option pricing model. As a result, the Company may need to use data from other comparable public companies or alternative calculation methods as allowed by GAAP.

The Company estimates its future stock price volatility using a weighted average historical volatility which takes into consideration the Company's historical volatility and historical volatility from a group of guideline companies, over the expected term of the option. The group of comparable public companies is determined by management on an annual basis. When selecting a comparable company, management considers relevant factors including industry and strategy, size, maturity, and financial leverage. The comparable companies used by management to calculate expected volatility may change from year-to-year because of changes in those factors and because a new comparable company may become publicly traded.

The expected term of stock options is estimated using the average of the vesting tranches and the contractual life of each grant for employee options, or the simplified method, as the Company has limited historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior for its stock option grants.
- 15 -



The Company estimates the risk-free interest rate based on the United States Treasury zero-coupon yield curve at the date of grant for the expected term of the option.

The Company has elected to account for forfeitures of awards as they occur. If an award is forfeited prior to vesting, the associated reduction in expense is reflected net in stock-based compensation expense in that period. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded in research and development (R&D) and selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.


Net Loss Per Share of Class A Common Stock

Weighted average shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding excludes unvested Class A Common Stock, which will be treated as outstanding for financial statement presentation purposes only after such awards have vested and, therefore, have ceased to be subject to a risk of forfeiture. Accordingly, unvested shares of Class A Restricted Stock are excluded from the calculation of net loss per share of Class A Common Stock.

See Note 6 for a detailed discussion of the 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants issued in December 2023. The 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants remain outstanding and exercisable, subject to an ownership limitation, as of September 30, 2024. The 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants are considered equity instruments and are reported in stockholders’ equity in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The weighted average shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding includes the shares issuable upon exercise of the 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants and are included in the determination of the Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share of Class A Common Stock.

For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding as inclusion of the common stock equivalent securities would be antidilutive.

The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share of Class A Common Stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023:

The Company’s potential dilutive securities, which include warrants issued by the Company (which can be exercised to purchase the Company's Class A Common Stock) in a follow-on offering in 2022 (the 2022 Common Warrants) and in a registered direct offering in June 2024 (the 2024 Common Warrants
and, together with the 2022 Common Warrants, the Common Warrants
), unvested restricted stock units, unvested restricted stock awards, and options to purchase Class A Common Stock, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share of Class A Common Stock as the effect would be antidilutive. Therefore, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share of Class A Common Stock is the same. The following potential dilutive securities, presented on an as converted basis, were excluded from the calculation of net loss per share of Class A Common Stock due to their antidilutive effect:

Stock Splits. The 2022 Common Warrants have been classified as a liability because they include a put option election available to their holder that is contingently exercisable if the Company enters into a fundamental transaction (Fundamental Transaction). Pursuant to the terms of the 2022 Common Warrants, a Fundamental Transaction occurs if (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another person in which the Company is not the surviving entity, (ii) the Company (and all of its subsidiaries, taken as a whole), directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance, or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer, or exchange offer is completed pursuant to which holders of the Company’s Class A Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender, or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50 percent or more of the outstanding Class A Common Stock of the Company, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization, or recapitalization of the Class A Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Class A Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash, or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination with another person or group of persons whereby such other person or group acquires more than 50 percent of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock (not including any shares of Class A Common Stock held by the other person or other persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (the Fundamental Change Put). If the Fundamental Change Put is exercised by the holder of a 2022 Common Warrant, holder may elect to receive either the consideration of the Fundamental Transaction or put the 2022 Common Warrants back to the Company in exchange for cash, based on terms and timing specified in the 2022 Common Warrant agreement. If the Fundamental Change Put option is exercised, the Company is required to pay cash to the holder in an amount as determined by the Black-Scholes pricing model, with assumptions determined in accordance with the terms of the 2022 Common Warrants. The Company believes that the Merger Transactions did not qualify as a Fundamental Transaction.

2024 Common Warrants

The Company issued the 2024 Common Warrants in the 2024 Follow-On Offering, defined below in Note 6. The Common Warrants included in the table above include 1,298,040
outstanding 2024 Common Warrants which are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $10.00 per share (or $10.07 per share, in the case of 2024 Common Warrants issued to one of the Company’s executive officers) until fully exercised, subject to ownership limitations, and expire five years after their date of issuance. The 2024 Common Warrants are recorded as a liability in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Common Warrants

The Common Warrants are reported at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings. The Company reports the changes in fair value of the Common Warrants in non-operating income (expense), net in its condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

From time-to-time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting
ASU 2023-09.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, requiring public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. Public entities with a single reportable segment are also required to apply the disclosure requirements. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07.

2. MERGER WITH CIBUS GLOBAL

As described in Note 1, on May 31, 2023, the Company completed the Merger Transactions.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

All of the issued and outstanding Cibus Global membership units (Common Units) are held solely by the Company and certain members of Cibus Global who elected in connection with the Merger Transactions to receive units (Up-C Units), each consisting of one share of Class B Common Stock and one Common Unit, at the closing of the Merger Transactions (Electing Members). The Up-C Units are generally exchangeable for shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain restrictions. In accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation, Cibus Global is considered a Variable Interest Entity with Cibus as its sole managing member and primary beneficiary. As such, Cibus consolidates Cibus Global, and the remaining Common Unit holders that hold economic interest directly in Cibus Global are presented as redeemable noncontrolling interest on the Company’s financial statements. There are no restrictions on the use of assets of Cibus Global.

Redeemable noncontrolling interest represents the portion of Cibus Global Common Units that are not owned directly by the Company. Redeemable noncontrolling interest is classified as temporary equity because the Common Units contained certain redemption features that were not solely within the control of the Company. As of May 31, 2023, (the closing date of the Merger Transactions) the Common Unit holders of the redeemable noncontrolling interest owned approximately 22 percent of Cibus Global. As of September 30, 2024, the Common Unit holders of the redeemable noncontrolling interest owned approximately 11 percent of Cibus Global.


Purchase Price

The purchase price for Cibus Global was determined as follows:

Number of shares of Common Stock received by Cibus Global, LLC equityholders as merger consideration (1)
20,150,838 
Multiplied by the fair value per share of Cibus, Inc. Class A Common Stock (2)
$31.50 
Purchase price$634,751,397 

___________________________________________
(1) This share number represents the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued to Cibus Global members in the Merger Transactions and comprises: 15,508,202 shares of Class A Common Stock and 4,642,636 shares of Class B Common Stock. This share number excludes 1,019,282 shares of Class A Restricted Stock, which are treated as issued and outstanding for financial statement presentation purposes only after such awards have vested and, therefore, have ceased to be subject to a risk of forfeiture.
(2) Reflects the purchase price per share of the Company's Class A Common Stock, which was the closing price of the Class A Common Stock on May 31, 2023, the closing date of the Merger Transactions.

Purchase Price Allocation

The acquisition of Cibus Global was accounted for using the acquisition method, whereby all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized at their fair value on the acquisition date, with any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value recorded as goodwill.

Identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interest, if applicable, are recorded at their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. Significant judgment is required in determining the acquisition date fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, predominantly with respect to intangible assets and the Royalty Liability. Evaluations included numerous inputs, including forecasted cash flows that incorporate the specific attributes of each asset. The Company evaluated all available information, as well as all appropriate methodologies, when determining the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interest. In addition, the Company determined the amortization period and method of amortization for each finite-lived intangible asset.

The weighted average amortization period for the Company's finite-lived intangible assets, including developed technology and trade names, was 20 years.

The Company incurred expenses of approximately $8.2 million in connection with the completion of the Merger Transactions, of which approximately $0.4 million was recognized in 2022. During 2023, approximately $3.5 million in legal and professional fees, $1.9 million in severance costs resulting from pre-existing employment agreements, and $1.1 million in stock compensation expense from accelerated share vesting per the individual stock award agreements, were included in SG&A expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, during 2023, approximately $1.3 million in stock compensation expense from accelerated share vesting per the individual stock award agreements, was included in R&D expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

These unaudited pro forma figures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, have been prepared as though the business combination had occurred on January 1, 2022.

Tax Receivable Agreement

In conjunction with the Merger Transactions, the Company entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement (TRA) with the Electing Members. Pursuant to the TRA, the Company generally will be required to pay to the Electing Members, in the aggregate, 85 percent of the net income tax savings that the Company actually realizes (or in certain circumstances, is deemed to realize) as a result of (i) certain favorable tax attributes the Company acquired from the blocker entities party to the Merger Agreement in connection with the Merger Transactions (including net operating losses), (ii) increases to the Company's allocatable share of the tax basis of Cibus Global's assets resulting from future redemptions or exchanges of Common Units for shares of Class A Common Stock or cash, (iii) tax attributes resulting from certain payments made under the TRA and (iv) deductions in respect of interest under the TRA. The payment obligations under the TRA are the Company's obligations and not obligations of Cibus Global.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, there were 30,120 Up-C Units exchanged by Electing Members for shares of Class A Common Stock. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets as the realizability of the tax benefit is not at the more likely than not threshold. Since the benefit has not been recorded, the Company determined that the TRA liability is not probable and therefore no TRA liability has been recorded as of September 30, 2024.


3. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE AND CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value and Financial Statement Presentation
The accounting guidance establishes a three-tier hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value as of the measurement date as follows:
Level 1: Fair values are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active trading markets for identical assets and liabilities.
- 20 -


Level 2: Fair values are based on observable quoted prices other than those in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.
Level 3: Fair values are based on at least one significant unobservable input for the asset or liability.

The Company's policy is to recognize transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy on the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023.
Fair Value Measurements and Financial Statement Presentation

The Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value and their respective levels in the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, were as follows:

The Company estimates the fair value of the Common Warrants as of the date of issuance and at the end of every reporting period using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires it to make assumptions regarding future stock price volatility and dividend yield. The Company estimates the risk-free interest rate based on the United States Treasury zero-coupon yield curve for the remaining life of the Common Warrants. The Company estimates its future stock price volatility using a weighted average historical volatility which takes into consideration the Company's historical volatility and historical volatility from a group of guideline companies, over the remaining life of the Common Warrants. The Company does not pay dividends and does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

The assumptions used for the initial valuation of the 2024 Common Warrants consisted of a risk-free interest rate of 4.4 percent, expected volatility of 102.7 percent, and an expected term of five years which resulted in an estimated fair value of $7.82 per 2024 Common Warrant.

Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company invests its cash and cash equivalents in highly liquid securities and interest-bearing deposit accounts. The Company diversifies the risk associated with investing in securities by allocating its investments to a diverse portfolio of short-dated, high investment-grade securities, which it classifies as cash and cash equivalents that are recorded at fair value in its condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company maintains the credit risk in this portfolio in accordance with its internal policies and, if necessary, makes changes to investments to minimize credit risk. The Company has not experienced any counterparty credit losses. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company did not hold any short-term investments.

8. INCOME TAXES

The Company provides for a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that it will not realize a portion of the deferred tax assets. The Company has established a full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty that enough taxable income will be generated in the taxing jurisdiction to utilize the assets. Therefore, the Company has not reflected any benefit of such deferred tax assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual income, statutory tax rates, and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, to determine its quarterly provision for income taxes. Current income taxes are recorded based on statutory obligations for the current operating period for the foreign jurisdictions in which the Company has operations. As such, the Company recorded a nominal income tax provision for foreign jurisdictions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. No current income tax provision has been recorded for United States operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, due to the Company's history of net operating losses, and the maintenance of a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, there were 30,120 Up-C Units exchanged by Electing Members for shares of Class A Common Stock. As described in Note 2, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets as the realizability of the tax benefit is not at the more likely than not threshold. Since the benefit has not been recorded, the Company determined that the TRA liability is not probable and therefore no TRA liability has been recorded as of September 30, 2024.

As of September 30, 2024, there were no material changes to what the Company disclosed regarding tax uncertainties or penalties as of December 31, 2023.
9. LEASES, COMMITMENTS, AND CONTINGENCIES
Leases

The Company's financing lease ROU assets are included in other non-current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company is obligated under non-cancellable operating leases, primarily for office, laboratory, greenhouse, and warehouse space, as follows:

Total$34,432 $21,685 

The Roseville, Minnesota lease includes four options to extend the lease for five years. These options to extend the lease are not recognized as part of the associated operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities as it is not reasonably certain that the Company will exercise those options. The Company’s lease agreement does not include options to terminate the lease.

The Company's headquarters are located in San Diego, California where it leases its headquarters facility, which includes office and laboratory space, and it has a trait development facility for editing plants with terms that expire in March 2033 and August 2025, respectively. In June 2024, the headquarters facility lease term was extended until March 2033. The headquarters facility lease includes one option to extend the lease that the Company is not reasonably certain to exercise at the lease commencement; therefore, the
- 28 -


extension term is not recognized in the calculation of the lease liability. The Company had one option to extend the trait development facility lease for one year, but will terminate the lease in August 2025. As the Company was not reasonably certain to exercise this option at lease commencement, the option was not recognized as part of the associated operating lease ROU asset or lease liability.

Additionally, the Company has certain leases for greenhouse and warehouse facilities, with terms that expire in August 2028 and August 2026, respectively. The Company had one option to extend the term of the greenhouse lease, for five years, and executed this right with an amended lease agreement beginning in September 2023 and expiring at the end of August 2028. There are no other options to extend this lease. The Company has one option to extend the warehouse lease for five years. However, as the Company is not reasonably certain to exercise this option at lease commencement, the option was not recognized as part of the associated operating lease ROU asset or lease liability.

Certain leases include rent abatement, rent escalations, tenant improvement allowances, and additional charges for common area maintenance and other costs. The Company is required to pay base rent expense as well as its proportionate share of the facilities operating expenses. The non-lease components, consisting primarily of common area maintenance, are paid separately based on actual costs incurred. Therefore, the variable non-lease components were not included in the operating lease ROU assets or lease liabilities and are reflected as expense in the period incurred.

Cibus Non-Profit Foundation

During 2022, Cibus Global created the Cibus Charitable Foundation, Inc., a nonprofit legal entity (the Cibus Non-Profit Foundation). As of September 30, 2024, the Cibus Non-Profit Foundation has not received any donations or commenced operations. The Company is obligated to make donations to the Cibus Non-Profit Foundation each fiscal year at a rate of 1.0 percent of all net royalty revenue in the applicable fiscal year that is equal to or greater than $100 million up to, and including, $1.0 billion, and then steps up to 2.0 percent in respect of any portion of such net royalty revenue in excess of $1.0 billion. For purposes of this calculation, net royalty revenue refers to all royalty payments received by the Company, net of all taxes (other than income taxes) and all amounts payable pursuant to the Royalty Liability. The donation payable by the Company may be reduced, including to zero, to the extent necessary to comply with any covenant or obligation in any instrument evidencing third party indebtedness, to permit a financing to occur, to preclude undercapitalization, to satisfy working capital requirements or provide for strategic needs of the Company, to ensure timely payment of the Company's liabilities and debts to third parties as they become due, or to comply with applicable law. The Company has agreed not to enter any change of control transaction unless the surviving entity assumes the obligation to pay such donations to the Cibus Non-Profit Foundation.

This obligation is contingent upon the Cibus Non-Profit Foundation obtaining and maintaining its status as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, although such registration has not yet been achieved. The Cibus Non-Profit Foundation must use all donations received consistent with its mission statement: to drive sustainable agriculture and sustainable agricultural communities in the developing world. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2024, the Company had not recorded a liability related to its obligations to the Cibus Non-Profit Foundation within the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Litigation and Claims
The Company is not currently a party to any material pending legal proceeding.

10. ROYALTY LIABILITY - RELATED PARTIES

On December 31, 2014, Cibus Global entered into a Warrant Transfer and Exchange Agreement (Warrant Exchange Agreement) and a related Intellectual Property Security Agreement (IP Security Agreement), pursuant to which certain investors, including certain directors of the Company and entities affiliated with directors of the Company (collectively, Royalty Holders), exchanged warrants issued by Cibus Global in previous financing transactions, for the right to receive future royalty payments (Royalty Payments). The Warrant Exchange Agreement and IP Security Agreement remain in place following the Company’s acquisition of Cibus Global in the Merger Transactions.

Under the Warrant Exchange Agreement, the Royalty Holders are entitled to future Royalty Payments equal to 10 percent of specified Subject Revenues (as defined in the Warrant Exchange Agreement) actually collected, attributable to product sales, license fees, sublicense payments, distribution fees, milestones, maintenance payments, royalties, and distributions to the Company, arising from products or technology developed using or based upon intellectual property rights in
RTDS or oligonucleotide directed mutagenesis technology applied in plants, biologicals, animals, and humans, as well as improvements related to such products or technology. Subject Revenues exclude revenues attributable to certain Nucelis product lines (certain applications in microorganisms), amounts received from the sale or disposition of the Company’s assets to the extent the purchaser agrees to be bound by the Warrant Exchange Agreement, fair market value payments for Cibus Global capital stock, and revenues attributable to collaboration and research projects. Royalty Payments are contingent because they are based upon the actual cash amounts constituting Subject Revenues that are collected from the
- 30 -


Company’s customers.

Royalty Payments will not begin until after the first fiscal quarter in which the aggregate Subject Revenues cash inflow during any consecutive 12 month period equals or exceeds $50.0 million, at which point Cibus Global will be obligated to pay all aggregated but unpaid payments under the Warrant Exchange Agreement. As of September 30, 2024, the amount of aggregated, but unpaid, Royalty Payments is $0.6 million.

The initial term of the Warrant Exchange Agreement is 30 years from the date the first Royalty Payment becomes due and may be extended for an additional 30-year term upon written notice and a $100 payment. Pursuant to the IP Security Agreement, Cibus Global’s payment and performance obligations under the Warrant Exchange Agreement are secured by a security interest in substantially all of Cibus Global’s intellectual property.

The Royalty Liability calculation is based on the Company’s current estimates of future Subject Revenues collected by the Company from customers and, in turn, expected Royalty Payments based on these Subject Revenues to be paid to Royalty Holders over the life of the arrangement based on 10 percent of the actual Subject Revenues collected. The Warrant Exchange Agreement is on a cash basis meaning that all Royalty Payments to Royalty Holders in a given period are based on cash actually collected by the Company for Subject Revenues in that period. The Company recorded the Royalty Liability obligation at fair value as of May 31, 2023, in connection with the acquisition of Cibus Global, LLC. The Company will periodically reassess the estimated future Royalty Payments using internal projections and external sources. Any change in estimated future Royalty Payments, resulting from changes in Cibus’ business model and anticipated Subject Revenues, is recognized prospectively as an adjustment to the effective yield as an increase or decrease to interest expense.

As of September 30, 2024, the Royalty Liability reflected an effective yield of 17.8 percent. As of December 31, 2023
, the Royalty Liability reflected an effective yield of 21.7 percent.

The Royalty Liability activity is as follows:

13. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Cellectis, the Company's largest shareholder prior to the completion of the Merger Transactions, has guaranteed the lease agreement for the Company’s Roseville, Minnesota facility. Cellectis’ guarantee of the Company’s obligations under the lease will terminate at the end of the second consecutive calendar year in which the Company’s tangible net worth exceeds $300 million. The Company agreed to indemnify Cellectis for any obligations incurred by Cellectis under its guaranty of the obligations under the lease, effective upon Cellectis’ ownership falling to 50 percent or less of the Company’s outstanding common stock. This indemnification obligation was triggered in October 2022.

Prior to the Merger Transactions, amounts payable to Cellectis were reported in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets as Due to related parties. Beginning with the three months ended June 30, 2023, any amounts payable to Cellectis are included in accrued expenses in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Strategic Realignment

On October 16, 2024, the Board of Directors of Cibus approved a strategic realignment, which included an immediate reduction in workforce of approximately 26 full-time employees. The Company estimates that it will incur approximately $0.4 million of one-time cash expense in the fourth quarter of 2024 in connection with the reduction in workforce, primarily related to accrued vacation and severance payments along with approximately $0.2 million of one-time non-cash stock compensation expense related to the acceleration of unvested RSAs approved by the Board of Directors of Cibus. The Company communicated the workforce reduction to affected employees on October 18, 2024.

The Company has initiated additional cost reduction actions designed to preserve capital resources for the advancement of its streamlined priority objectives, which initiatives include reductions in expenditures for consultants and other third-party service providers, organizational restructuring and related talent optimization, and streamlining of rent and facility expenses, including the non-renewal of the lease for the Company’s trait development facility for editing plants in San Diego, California upon expiration in August 2025.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read together with its condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, which are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 21, 2024 (Annual Report), including the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes incorporated therein.

OVERVIEW AND BUSINESS UPDATE

Cibus is a leading agricultural biotechnology company that uses proprietary gene editing technologies to develop plant traits (or specific genetic characteristics) in seeds. Its primary business is the development of plant traits that help address specific productivity or yield challenges in farming such as traits for weed management and disease resistance. These traits are referred to as productivity traits because they can improve farming productivity, profitability and sustainability. Certain productivity traits lead to the reduction in the use of chemicals like fungicides, insecticides, or the reduction of fertilizer use, while others make crops more adaptable to their environment or to climate change. The ability to develop productivity traits in seeds that can increase farming productivity and reduce the use of chemicals in farming is the promise of gene editing technologies.

In addition to Cibus' pipeline of five productivity traits, Cibus is developing, through a partner-funded project, sustainable ingredients or materials for the consumer packaged goods industry that do not negatively impact the environment during production, use, or disposal.

Cibus’ core technology is its propriety gene editing platform called the Rapid Trait Development System™ or
RTDS®. It is the underlying technology in Cibus’ Trait Machine™ process: a standardized end-to-end semi-automated high-throughput gene editing system that directly edits seed companies’ elite germplasm. It is a timebound, reproducible, and predictable science-based breeding process. RTDS is covered by over 500 patents or patents pending. The Company considers the Trait Machine process an important technological milestone that represents a breakthrough in the achievement of a standardized high-throughput gene editing system that provides the speed, precision, and scale that is the promise of gene editing.

A key aspect of Cibus' Trait Machine process is that plant traits developed using this technology are indistinguishable from plant traits developed using conventional plant breeding (or, from nature). Because of this, most major jurisdictions have either passed regulations or started processes to introduce regulations that generally treat traits developed using gene editing on the same basis as traits developed using conventional plant breeding. All traits developed using
RTDS comprise the types of changes that arise naturally in conventional plant breeding programs. GMO technologies enabled major improvements in farming productivity. Unfortunately, because GMO technologies use foreign DNA, or transgenes, the development of major GMO traits has faced headwinds. For example, in the European Union (EU), GMO traits were essentially banned, and imports were heavily regulated. Changes in place in key countries and presently under consideration in Europe are aimed at harmonizing how gene edited traits are regulated in order to align with regulations for traits from conventional plant breeding. These changes highlight the major global evolution away from the heavily regulated GMO technology and acceptance of gene editing technologies. This is a big moment for Cibus that the Company has been working towards since its founding.

Cibus believes that its
RTDS technologies and Trait Machine process represent a paradigm shift in plant breeding: the ability to materially change the productivity of the breeding process that currently averages more than a decade with a scientifically based process whose trait products are indistinguishable from traits developed through conventional plant breeding and that are regulated as such. The Trait Machine process materially changes not only the speed and scale of the breeding process, but it also exponentially changes the range of possible genetic solutions from breeding and with it, the capability to develop desired characteristics or traits needed for greater farming sustainability and food security.

Cibus is a leader in the gene editing era—an industry characterized by high-throughput gene editing processes serving as extensions of plant breeding operations for seed company customers. Cibus is the leader in this vision. Cibus and its Trait Machine process do not compete with seed companies’ breeding operations, they augment them. Cibus provides complex traits that it edits in the elite germplasm of its customers for commercialization. Its role is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of developing the complex traits needed to address farming’s most pressing productivity challenges. Importantly, Cibus and its Trait Machine process provides the ability to efficiently gene edit these complex traits directly into elite germplasm of any of the major crops with a new speed, precision, and scale.

Cibus believes that this is the Future of Breeding™. Cibus believes that its gene editing technologies and trait products have the potential to accelerate agriculture’s jump to a climate smart, more sustainable, crop production system and industry’s move to sustainable, natural, and low carbon materials or ingredients.

The Company believes that a measure of the success of its
RTDS technologies and its Trait Machine process is that Cibus has been able to develop a pipeline of five productivity traits, four of which are applicable to multiple crops.

Three of Cibus' five productivity traits are developed, meaning that they have been edited in a customer's elite germplasm and have been validated in field trials. In Canola and Winter Oilseed Rape (WOSR), the Company's Pod Shatter Reduction (PSR) trait has been edited into the elite lines of customer seed company partners and transferred back to these customers in their elite germplasm for potential commercial launch. In Rice, gene-edited herbicide tolerance (HT) traits HT1 and HT3 are being introgressed into multiple customers’ genetics for United States and Latin America, and Cibus is also initiating efforts to directly edit the HT1 and HT3 traits in certain
- 33 -


customers’ germplasm. Two of the pipeline traits are advanced, meaning that the editing and trait development process is underway with known edit targets. Currently, these advanced traits include a trait for Sclerotinia (white mold disease) resistance and herbicide tolerance in Canola (HT2).

Activities in 2024 through the date of this filing have been transformative for Cibus, including significant progress across crop platforms for its developed traits and achieving important milestones in its advanced traits. On October 18, 2024, the Company announced a restructuring initiative, as it continues its transformation from a Research and Development (R&D) driven organization to a focused commercial stage gene editing company in agriculture. Cibus' related cost reduction actions, including a reduction in force, are expected to save the Company approximately $10.0 million on an annualized run-rate basis. When these and other initiatives are fully implemented by early 2025, the Company expects them to translate to a reduction in monthly cash use by approximately 20 percent.

These initiatives are a result of the Company's realigned organization focus, which focuses the allocation of its capital resources toward its commercial effort priorities through advancement of Cibus' weed management traits HT1 and HT3 for Rice,
Sclerotinia resistance trait for Soybean and Canola, and the continuing development of Cibus' Soybean platform, while enabling continued progress on Cibus' PSR trait and its third weed management trait HT2 with a more streamlined use of resources. The Company will also continue to opportunistically pursue partner-funded projects.

In regards to the commercial progress for its HT1 and HT3 developed traits in Rice, Cibus has made substantial advancement with its trait transfer process having received germplasm from all four of its major Rice seed company customers and has either completed or initiated trait transfer to the customer germplasm. In addition, the company completed a successful field trial with one of its customer's germplasm in the third quarter of 2024. Additionally, Cibus, RTDC Corporation Limited (RTDCCL), and Albaugh LLC (Albaugh) entered into an amendment to certain existing agreements to continue a collaboration that brings Cibus’ HT3 trait in Rice, which is Clethodim-tolerant, to seed customers in the United States utilizing Albaugh’s herbicide registration and crop protection expertise. The agreement also establishes Cibus' financial obligations, including with respect to the allocation of trait fees and royalties received by Cibus to RTDCCL and Albaugh. The Company also completed its first field trial for stacked gene edited HT traits in an elite variety.

Within the Company’s Canola platform, Cibus achieved significant progress with its developed PSR trait in WOSR, completing an initial field trial in the United Kingdom with multiple customers' germplasm. This achievement is an important milestone in furthering Cibus' commercialization efforts for WOSR in Europe.

With respect to Cibus' multi-crop advanced traits, Cibus made important advancements in line with its anticipated milestones. For its Sclerotinia resistance trait in Canola, the Company has received field trial results for the second mode of action and expects greenhouse data for the third mode of action in the fourth quarter of 2024. This progress with the Sclerotinia resistance trait is particularly significant as it represents advancement toward providing durable disease resistance to White Mold across multiple crops, including Canola and Soybean. The Company also received positive greenhouse data for its HT2 trait in Canola, with additional field trials anticipated to be completed in 2025.

The Company continues to make progress in developing its Soybean platform. Once the Soybean platform is operational, it will be possible for Cibus to develop and commercialize its multi-crop traits contemporaneously in any or all of three major crops (Rice, Canola, and Soybean).

Supporting Cibus’ commercial efforts is the Company’s proprietary gene editing platform, which represents a paradigm shift in breeding complex traits, built on decades of rigorous research and development and backed by an extensive intellectual property portfolio. Through the first nine months of 2024, Cibus received additional patents across 10 plant gene editing and trait families, which further strengthened the Company’s IP portfolio including in its weed management and herbicide tolerance trait families. The Company's IP expansion covers gene editing, productivity traits, and quality traits patent coverage in geographies including, but not limited to, Europe, Asia, Latin America, and North America.

The advancing global regulation of gene editing technologies in agriculture continued its general positive progression. In May 2024, Canada joined other jurisdictions endorsing additional policies to regulate gene editing technology in feed (including that used in Cibus'
RTDS) similar to conventional breeding methods. Previously, on February 7, 2024, the Parliament of the EU voted in favor of new laws that would differentiate gene editing technologies from GMO technology. The proposal adopted by the EU Parliament would regulate certain traits from gene editing as “conventional-like” or like traits developed using conventional plant breeding. There is still ongoing discussion of how to address traits for HT in the EU. Final approval of the EU Parliament's proposal will be based upon ongoing negotiations among the EU Parliament, the EU Council, and the European Commission to finalize legislation for adoption.

While the legislative process remains ongoing in the EU, other major developed market countries including Canada, the United Kingdom, United States, and the major markets in South America are now treating traits from gene editing as conventional-like. Although there can be no assurance when the final EU legislation will be adopted, its passage would bring the EU closer to other major developed markets resulting in more consistent regulations for the planting, import, and export of products or commodities. For this reason, Cibus believes the impact of these regulations is indicative of the beginning of the gene editing era – an era in which products from the most advanced technologies in breeding and gene editing will be regulated on the same basis as products developed using conventional breeding — an era in which technology promises to change the speed and scale of trait development as new technologies have done in many industries and an era that Cibus believes represents agriculture’s analog to digital moment: the ability to develop traits more accurately and with less time and cost involved in conventional breeding of traits or in GMO trait breeding.

The Company has incurred net losses since its inception. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $708.1 million. The Company’s net loss was $256.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. As Cibus continues to develop its pipeline of productivity traits and as a result of its limited commercial activities, Cibus expects to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the next several years. Those expenses and losses may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year.

ATM Facility

On January 2, 2024, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement (Sales Agreement) with Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (Stifel). Pursuant to the terms of the Sales Agreement, the Company may offer and sell through Stifel, from time-to-time and at its sole discretion, shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $80.0 million (ATM Facility). During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued 974,727 shares of Class A Common Stock and received net proceeds of approximately $16.9 million from the ATM Facility.

June 2024 Registered Direct Offering

In June 2024, the Company issued 1,298,040 shares of its Class A Common Stock together with accompanying warrants (2024 Common Warrants) to purchase up to 1,298,040 shares of Class A Common Stock in a registered direct offering (2024 Follow-On Offering). The combined offering price for each share of Class A Common Stock and the accompanying 2024 Common Warrant was $10.00 per share, except that each share of Class A Common Stock and the accompanying 2024 Common Warrant issued to one of the Company’s executive officers was issued at a combined offering price of $10.20 per share. The 2024 Common Warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $10.00 per share (or $10.07 per share, in the case of 2024 Common Warrants issued to one of the Company’s executive officers) until fully exercised, subject to ownership limitations, and expire five years after their date of issuance. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $12.0 million from the 2024 Follow-On Offering, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company.

September 2024 SEC-Registered Underwritten Offering

In September 2024, the Company issued 3,289,953 shares of its Class A Common Stock in an SEC-registered underwritten offering, including shares issued to one of the Company’s executive officers. The offering price for each share of Class A Common Stock was $4.00 per share. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $12.1 million after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company.

Strategic Realignment

On October 16, 2024, the Board of Directors of Cibus approved a strategic realignment, which included an immediate reduction in workforce of approximately 26 full-time employees. The Company estimates that it will incur approximately $0.4 million of one-time cash expense in the fourth quarter of 2024 in connection with the reduction in workforce, primarily related to accrued vacation and severance payments along with approximately $0.2 million of one-time non-cash stock compensation expense related to the acceleration of unvested awards of Class A Restricted Stock (RSAs) approved by the Board of Directors of Cibus. The Company communicated the workforce reduction to affected employees on October 18, 2024.

The Company has initiated additional cost reduction actions designed to preserve capital resources for the advancement of its streamlined priority objectives, which initiatives include reductions in expenditures for consultants and other third-party service providers, organizational restructuring and related talent optimization, and streamlining of rent and facility expenses, including the non-renewal of the lease for the Company’s trait development facility for editing plants in San Diego, California upon expiration in August 2025.

Revenue

Revenue was $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of $1.2 million from the third quarter of 2023. The increase was driven by
amounts earned from collaboration agreements related to contract research for Soybean. Revenue in the third quarter of 2023 from Legacy Calyxt's operations was primarily associated with the Company’s agreement with a large food ingredient manufacturer to develop a palm oil alternative.

Research and Development Expense

R&D expense was $13.0 million in the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of $4.5 million from the third quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower non-cash stock compensation expense and the strategic realignment and reduction in force announced during the fourth quarter of 2023 which included decreases in personnel costs and supplies.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expense

Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) expense was $7.7 million in the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of $1.1 million from the third quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower non-cash stock compensation expense.

Goodwill Impairment

Goodwill impairment was $181.4 million in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of $181.4 million from the third quarter of 2023.
The increase was due to the impairment of goodwill resulting from a fair value assessment, based on the decline of the Company's stock price, performed in the third quarter of 2024.

Royalty Liability Interest Expense - Related Parties

Royalty liability interest expense - related parties was $8.9 million in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of $0.7 million from the third quarter of 2023. The increase was due to the increase in the Royalty Liability balance.

Other Interest Income, net

Other interest income, net was $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of $0.1 million from the third quarter of 2023. The decrease was driven by interest earned on lower cash balances.

Non-Operating Income (Expense), net

Non-operating income (expense), net was income of $7.7 million in the third quarter of 2024, an increase in income of $8.6 million from the third quarter of 2023.

Net Loss Attributable to Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

Net loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest was $21.5 million in third quarter of 2024, an increase in net loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest of $13.4 million, from the third quarter of 2023. The increase in net loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest is a result of the Up-C Units created as part of the closing of the Merger Transactions, and the amount for the period is based on the percentage of Cibus Global that is not owned by Cibus, Inc.

Revenue

Revenue was $3.1 million in the first nine months of 2024, an increase of $2.3 million from the first nine months of 2023. The increase was driven by the acquisition of Cibus Global revenue which included
amounts earned from collaboration agreements related to contract research for Rice and Soybean. Revenue from operations associated with Legacy Calyxt in 2024 and 2023 was primarily associated with the Company’s agreement with a large food ingredient manufacturer to develop a palm oil alternative.

Research and Development Expense

R&D expense was $38.0 million in the first nine months of 2024, an increase of $9.8 million from the first nine months of 2023. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Cibus Global which included increases in headcount, laboratory supplies, and facility costs. The increase was partially offset by decreases of $1.4 million of stock compensation expense related to RSAs granted as part of the completion of the Merger Transactions, $1.3 million in one-time expenses due to the closing of the Merger Transactions in the first six months of 2023, and a decrease in Legacy Calyxt expenses due to lower headcount and cost reduction efforts in preparation for the Merger Transactions.


Selling, General, and Administrative Expense

SG&A expense was $24.0 million in the first nine months of 2024, an increase of $1.9 million from the first nine months of 2023. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Cibus Global which included increases in headcount, professional fees, and stock compensation expense related to RSAs granted as part of the completion of the Merger Transactions. These expenses were partially offset by $6.5 million in one-time expenses due to the closing of the Merger Transactions in the first six months of 2023 as well as a decrease in Legacy Calyxt expenses due to lower headcount and cost reduction efforts in preparation of the Merger Transactions.

Goodwill Impairment

Goodwill impairment was $181.4 million in the first nine months of 2024, an increase of $181.4 million from the first nine months of

2023. The increase was due to the impairment of goodwill resulting from a fair value assessment, based on the decline of the Company's stock price, performed in the third quarter of 2024.

Royalty Liability Interest Expense - Related Parties

Royalty liability interest expense - related parties was $26.0 million in the first nine months of 2024, an increase of $15.2 million from the first nine months of 2023. The increase was due to the assumption of the Royalty Liability as part of the Merger Transactions.



Other Interest Income, net

Other interest income, net was $0.5 million in the first nine months of 2024, an increase of $0.2 million from the first nine months of 2023. The increase was driven by interest earned on cash balances.

Non-Operating Income (Expense), net

Non-operating income (expense), net was income of $8.9 million in the first nine months of 2024, an increase in income of $9.4 million from the first nine months of 2023. The increase in income was driven by the fair value adjustment of the Common Warrants (as defined in Note 1 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements).

Net Loss Attributable to Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

Net loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest was $28.6 million in the first nine months of 2024, an increase in net loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest of $18.7 million from the first nine months of 2023. The increase in net loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest is a result of the Up-C Units created as part of the closing of the Merger Transactions, and the amount for the period is based on the percentage of Cibus Global that is not owned by Cibus, Inc.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

The Company’s primary source of liquidity is its cash and cash equivalents, with additional capital resources accessible from the capital markets, subject to market conditions and other factors, including limitations that may apply to the Company under applicable Nasdaq regulations.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $28.8 million of cash and cash equivalents. Current liabilities were $21.9 million as of September 30, 2024.

The Company’s liquidity funds its non-discretionary cash requirements and its discretionary spending. The Company has contractual obligations related to recurring business operations, primarily related to lease payments for its corporate and laboratory facilities. The Company’s principal discretionary cash spending is for salaries, capital expenditures, short-term working capital payments, and professional and other transaction-related expenses incurred as the Company pursues additional financing. Until the Company is able to obtain additional public or private financing, it currently expects to satisfy its near-term requirements with existing cash on hand and proceeds raised from the ATM Facility.

The Company incurred a net loss of $256.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $708.1 million and expects to continue to incur losses in the future.

Net cash used by operating activities was $44.0 million in the first nine months of 2024, an increase in cash used of $14.9 million from the first nine months of 2023. The increase in cash used was primarily driven by a $11.3 million increase in net loss related to the operations acquired in the Merger Transactions and a decrease of $3.5 million from the changes in operating assets and liabilities related to assets and liabilities assumed from the closing of the Merger Transactions with Cibus Global, LLC.

The Company expects cash used by operating activities in 2024 to be higher than 2023 driven by a full year of combined companies in 2024 versus only seven months of combined companies in 2023.

offset by the $2.5 million receipt of funds from draws on the revolving line of credit from Cibus Global and by the $1.3 million issuance of notes payable related to equipment and insurance policy purchases, both in the prior year period.

The Company expects cash provided by financing activities in 2024 to be higher than 2023 driven by the need to raise capital to fulfill the Company's anticipated spending in 2024 and beyond.

Capital Resources

The Company’s primary source of liquidity is its cash and cash equivalents, with additional capital resources accessible, subject to market conditions and other factors, including limitations that may apply to the Company under applicable Nasdaq regulations, from the capital markets, including through stock offerings of common stock or other securities, which may be implemented pursuant to the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued 974,727 shares of Class A Common Stock and received net proceeds of approximately $16.9 million from the ATM Facility.

Operating Capital Requirements

The Company has incurred losses since its inception and its net loss was $256.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and it used $44.0 million of cash for operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $28.8 million of cash and cash equivalents. Current liabilities were $21.9 million as of September 30, 2024.

In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company initiated cost reduction initiatives designed to preserve capital resources for the advancement of its priority objectives. Such initiatives included reductions in capital expenditures, streamlining of independent contractor utilization and cost management, reduced and prioritized spending on business travel, careful management of contract approvals to ensure they align with priority objectives, and prioritization of near-term payment obligations.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company initiated additional cost reduction actions designed to preserve capital resources for the advancement of its streamlined priority objectives, which initiatives include reductions in expenditures for consultants and other third-party service providers, organizational restructuring and related talent optimization, and streamlining of rent and facility expenses, including the non-renewal of the lease for the Company’s trait development facility for editing plants in San Diego, California upon expiration in August 2025.

The Company has incurred losses since its inception and anticipates that it will continue to generate losses for the next several years. Over the longer term and until the Company can generate cash flows sufficient to support its operating capital requirements, it expects to finance a portion of future cash needs through (i) cash on hand, (ii) commercialization activities, which may result in various types of revenue streams from future trait R&D collaboration agreements and technology licenses, including upfront and milestone payments, annual license fees, and royalties; (iii) government or other third party funding (iv) public or private equity or debt financings, or (v) a combination of the foregoing. However, capital generated by commercialization activities, if any, is expected to be received over a period of time and near-term additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of the uncertainties described above.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern will depend on its ability to obtain additional public or private equity or debt financing (including through the continued availability of the ATM Facility), obtain government or private grants and other similar types of funding, attain further operating efficiencies, reduce or contain expenditures, and, ultimately, to generate revenue. The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024, is not sufficient to fund its operations for a period of 12 months or more from the date of this filing. Taking into account the impact of cost saving initiatives implemented through the date of this report and without giving effect to potential financing transactions Cibus is pursuing, Cibus expects that existing cash and cash equivalents will fund planned operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into late in the first quarter of 2025. The Company's assessment of the period of time through which its financial resources will be adequate to support its operations is a forward-looking statement and involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary as a result of a number of factors. The Company has based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong. Circumstances and business conditions may change that would require the Company to use its cash resources for purposes beyond those that are currently forecast, which would shorten its cash runway. In addition, changes in market conditions may reduce the Company’s opportunities to raise additional capital, including through the ATM Facility.

The Company will need to raise additional capital to support its business plans to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital in a sufficient amount or on acceptable terms in the near term, the Company may have to implement additional, more stringent cost reduction measures to manage liquidity, and the Company may have to significantly delay, scale back, or cease operations, in part or in full. If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of additional debt or equity securities, including as part of a strategic alternative, it could result in substantial dilution to its existing stockholders and increased fixed payment obligations, and these securities may have rights senior to those of the Company’s shares of common stock. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's
- 40 -


ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date of issuance of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Any of these events could impact the Company’s business, financial condition, and prospects.

The Company’s financing needs are subject to change depending on, among other things, the success of its trait and product development efforts, the effective execution of its business model, its revenue, and its efforts to effectively manage expenses. The effects of macroeconomic events and potential geopolitical developments on the financial markets and broader economic uncertainties may make obtaining capital through equity or debt financings more challenging and may exacerbate the risk that such capital, if available, may not be available on terms acceptable to the Company.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS, COMMITMENTS, AND CONTINGENCIES

In June 2024, the Company's headquarters facility lease term was extended until March 2033. The additional operating lease right-of-use asset and associated operating lease liability was $16.4 million.

As of September 30, 2024, other than described above, there were no other material changes in the Company's commitments under contractual obligations as disclosed in its Annual Report.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preceding discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon its condensed consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures, which have been prepared in accordance with United States GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the reported amounts in its condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company believes the policies discussed in Note 1, Nature of Business & Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, are the most critical to an understanding of its financial condition and results of operations because they require it to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain.

As of September 30, 2024, there were no material changes in the Company's critical accounting policies and estimates as disclosed in its Annual Report.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

No changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
