NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. Nature of Business

REGENXBIO Inc. (the Company) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company seeking to improve lives through the curative potential of gene therapy. The Company has developed a broad pipeline of gene therapy product candidates using its proprietary adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene delivery platform (NAV Technology Platform), which consists of exclusive rights to over 100 novel AAV vectors, including AAV7, AAV8 and AAV9. In addition to its internal product development efforts, the Company also selectively licenses the NAV® Technology Platform to other leading biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies (NAV Technology Licensees). As of March 31, 2023, the NAV Technology Platform was being applied by NAV Technology Licensees in one commercially available product, Zolgensma®, and in the preclinical and clinical development of a number of licensed products. Additionally, the Company has licensed intellectual property rights to collaborators for the joint development and commercialization of certain product candidates. The Company was formed in 2008 in the State of Delaware and is headquartered in Rockville, Maryland.

The Company has incurred cumulative losses since inception and as of March 31, 2023, had generated an accumulated deficit of $508.2 million. The Company's ability to transition to recurring profitability is dependent upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support its cost structure, which depends heavily on the successful development, approval and commercialization of its product candidates. The Company may never achieve recurring profitability, and unless and until it does, the Company will continue to need to raise additional capital, to the extent possible. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $473.5 million, which management believes is sufficient to fund operations for at least the next 12 months from the date these consolidated financial statements were issued.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which was filed with the SEC on February 28, 2023. Certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP which are normally included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations for interim reporting. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation.

The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year, any other interim periods, or any future year or period. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities for the periods presented. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other factors that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities, and other reported amounts, that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates. Significant estimates are used in the following areas, among others: license and royalty revenue, the allowance for credit losses, accrued research and development expenses and other accrued liabilities, stock-based compensation expense, interest expense under the liability related to the sale of future royalties, income taxes and the fair value of financial instruments.

Table of Contents

Reclassifications

Certain amounts reported in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current period financial statement presentation. These reclassifications are not material and have no effect on previously reported financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes money market mutual funds and other deposits used to collateralize irrevocable letters of credit required under the Company’s lease agreements and certain other agreements with third parties. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as reported on the consolidated balance sheets to the total of these amounts as reported at the end of the period in the consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands):


	As of March 31,
	2023		2022
Cash and cash equivalents	$	70,091	$	191,873
Restricted cash		2,030		2,030
Total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	72,121	$	193,903

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable primarily consist of consideration due to the Company resulting from its license agreements with customers. Accounts receivable include amounts invoiced to licensees as well as rights to consideration which have not yet been invoiced, including unbilled royalties, and for which payment is conditional solely upon the passage of time. If a licensee elects to terminate a license prior to the end of the license term, the licensed intellectual property is returned to the Company and any accounts receivable from the licensee which are not contractually payable to the Company are charged off as a reduction of license revenue in the period of the termination. Accounts receivable which are not expected to be received by the Company within 12 months from the reporting date are stated net of a discount to present value and recorded as non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The present value discount is recognized as a reduction of revenue in the period in which the accounts receivable are initially recorded and is accreted as interest income from licensing over the term of the receivables.

Accounts receivable are stated net of an allowance for credit losses, if deemed necessary based on the Company’s evaluation of collectability and potential credit losses. Management assesses the collectability of its accounts receivable using the specific identification of account balances, and considers the credit quality and financial condition of its significant customers, historical information regarding credit losses and the Company’s evaluation of current and expected future economic conditions. If necessary, an allowance for credit losses is recorded against accounts receivable such that the carrying value of accounts receivable reflects the net amount expected to be collected. Accounts receivable balances are written off against the allowance for credit losses when the potential for collectability is considered remote. Please refer to Note 8 for further information regarding the allowance for credit losses related to accounts receivable.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company is required to disclose information on all assets and liabilities reported at fair value that enables an assessment of the inputs used in determining the reported fair values. Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a hierarchy of inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy applies only to the valuation inputs used in determining the reported fair value of the investments and is not a measure of the investment credit quality. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

•

Level 1—Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

•

Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

•

Level 3—Valuations that require inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

Table of Contents

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair values of the Company’s Level 2 instruments are based on quoted market prices or broker or dealer quotations for similar assets. These investments are initially valued at the transaction price and subsequently valued utilizing third party pricing providers or other market observable data. Please refer to Note 4 for further information on the fair value measurement of the Company’s financial instruments.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents outstanding for the period, determined using the treasury-stock method. Contingently convertible shares in which conversion is based on non-market-priced contingencies are excluded from the calculations of both basic and diluted net loss per share until the contingency has been fully met. For purposes of the diluted net loss per share calculation, common stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive.

3. Marketable Securities

The following tables present a summary of the Company’s marketable securities, which consist solely of available-for-sale debt securities (in thousands):

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no available-for-sale debt securities had remaining maturities greater than three years. The amortized cost of marketable debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity, or to the earliest call date for callable debt securities purchased at a premium.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the balance in accumulated other comprehensive loss consisted solely of unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities, net of reclassification adjustments for realized gains and losses and income tax effects. The Company uses the aggregate portfolio approach to release the tax effects of unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Realized gains and losses from the sale or maturity of marketable securities are based on the specific identification method and are included in results of operations as investment income. Unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale securities, net, as presented in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss consisted of the following (in thousands):

Management estimates that the carrying values of its current accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments. Accounts receivable which contain non-current portions and certain non-current payables reported as other liabilities are recorded at their present values using a discount rate that is based on prevailing market rates on the date the amounts were initially recorded. Management does not believe there have been any significant changes in market conditions or credit quality that would cause the discount rates initially used to be materially different from those that would be used as of March 31, 2023 to determine the present value of these instruments. Accordingly, management estimates that the carrying values of its non-current accounts receivable and other liabilities approximate the fair value of those instruments. Management estimates that the carrying value of the liability related to the sale of future royalties approximates fair value. As discussed in Note 6, the carrying value of the liability related to the sale of future royalties is based on the Company’s estimate of future royalties expected to be paid by the Company over the life of the arrangement, which are considered Level 3 inputs.

6. Liability Related to Sale of Future Royalties

In December 2020, the Company entered into a royalty purchase agreement (the Royalty Purchase Agreement) with entities managed by Healthcare Royalty Management, LLC (collectively, HCR). Under the agreement, HCR purchased the Company’s rights to a capped amount of Zolgensma royalty payments under the Company’s license agreement (the Novartis License) with Novartis Gene Therapies, Inc. (formerly AveXis, Inc.) (Novartis Gene Therapies), including $4.0 million of royalty payments received by the Company in the fourth quarter of 2020 (the Pledged Royalties). In consideration for these rights, HCR paid the Company $200.0 million (the Purchase Price), less $4.0 million representing the payment of the Pledged Royalties to HCR. Beginning upon the effective date of the Royalty Purchase Agreement, Zolgensma royalty payments, up to a specified threshold, shall be paid to HCR, net of upstream royalties payable by the Company to certain licensors in accordance with existing license agreements.

Pursuant to the Royalty Purchase Agreement, the total amount of royalty payments to be received by HCR under the agreement is subject to an increasing cap (the Cap Amount) equal to (i) $260.0 million applicable for the period from the effective date of the Royalty Purchase Agreement through November 7, 2024, and (ii) $300.0 million applicable for the period from November 8, 2024 through the effective date of termination of the Novartis License. If, on or prior to the defined dates for each Cap Amount, the total

Table of Contents

amount of royalty payments received by HCR equals or exceeds the Cap Amount applicable to such date, the Royalty Purchase Agreement will automatically terminate and all rights to the Zolgensma royalty payments will revert back to the Company. The Company has no obligation to repay any amounts to HCR if total future Zolgensma royalty payments are not sufficient to achieve the applicable Cap Amount prior to the termination of the Novartis License.

The Company has a call option to repurchase its rights to the purchased royalties from HCR for a repurchase price equal to, as of the option exercise date, $300.0 million minus the total amount of royalty payments received by HCR; provided, however, that with respect to a call option exercised on or before November 7, 2024, in the event that the then applicable Cap Amount minus the total amount of royalty payments received by HCR is less than $1.0 million, the repurchase price shall equal such difference.

The proceeds received from HCR of $196.0 million were recorded as a liability, net of transaction costs of $3.5 million, which is amortized over the estimated life of the arrangement using the effective interest method. In order to determine the amortization of the liability, the Company is required to estimate the total amount of future royalty payments to be received by HCR, subject to the Cap Amount, over the life of the arrangement. The total amount of royalty payments received by HCR under the Royalty Purchase Agreement, less the net proceeds received by the Company of $192.5 million, is recorded as interest expense over the life of the arrangement using the effective interest method. Due to its continuing involvement in the Novartis License, the Company continues to recognize royalty revenue on net sales of Zolgensma and records the royalty payments to HCR as a reduction of the liability when paid. As such payments are made to HCR, the balance of the liability will be effectively repaid over the life of the Royalty Purchase Agreement.

The Company estimates the effective interest rate used to record interest expense under the Royalty Purchase Agreement based on its estimate of future royalty payments to be received by HCR. As of March 31, 2023, the estimated effective interest rate under the Royalty Purchase Agreement was 7.7%. Over the life of the arrangement, the actual effective interest rate will be affected by the amount and timing of the royalty payments received by HCR and changes in the Company’s forecasted royalties. At each reporting date, the Company reassesses its estimate of total future royalty payments to be received by HCR at the applicable Cap Amount, and prospectively adjusts the effective interest rate and amortization of the liability, as necessary.

The following table presents the changes in the liability related to the sale of future royalties under the Royalty Purchase Agreement with HCR (in thousands):


	Liability Related to
	Sale of Future Royalties
Balance at December 31, 2022	$	137,606

7. Commitments and Contingencies

The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania

In February 2009, the Company entered into a license agreement (the Penn License), which has been amended from time to time, with The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania (together with the University of Pennsylvania, Penn) for exclusive, worldwide rights to certain patents owned by Penn underlying the Company’s NAV Technology Platform, as well as exclusive rights to certain data, results and other information. In March 2022, the Company and Penn entered into a letter agreement (the Penn Letter Agreement) pursuant to which the Company will pay to Penn a total of $20.0 million, consisting of (i) $8.0 million paid in April 2022 to satisfy payment of any sublicense fees due or owed in the future under the Penn License as a result of the Company’s collaboration and license agreement with AbbVie Global Enterprises Ltd., and (ii) $12.0 million to satisfy any other past or future obligations of the Company to pay sublicense fees under the Penn License, which is payable in four equal annual installments of $3.0 million beginning in March 2023. The Penn Letter Agreement amended the Penn License to remove the Company’s obligations to pay sublicense fees under the license agreement. The Company remains obligated to pay Penn royalties on net sales of licensed products, milestone fees and reimbursement of certain patent maintenance costs in accordance with the Penn License.

The Company recognized a charge of $9.2 million as cost of revenues upon the execution of Penn Letter Agreement in March 2022, which consisted of $17.3 million representing the present value of the $20.0 million payable under the Penn Letter Agreement, less $8.1 million in sublicense fees previously recognized as expense by the Company in prior periods and accrued as liabilities prior to the effectiveness of the Penn Letter Agreement. The present value discount is accreted as interest expense over the contractual

payment period using the effective interest method. In addition to other amounts payable under the Penn License, as of March 31, 2023, the Company had recorded a total of $7.4 million payable under the Penn Letter Agreement, net of present value discount, of which $2.2 million was included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $5.2 million was included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

8. License and Collaboration Agreements

License and Royalty Revenue

As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s NAV Technology Platform was being applied by NAV Technology Licensees in one commercially available product, Zolgensma, and in the development of a number of licensed products. Additionally, the Company has licensed intellectual property rights to collaborators for the joint development of certain product candidates. Consideration to the Company under its license agreements may include: (i) up-front and annual fees, (ii) milestone payments based on the achievement of certain development and sales-based milestones, (iii) sublicense fees, (iv) royalties on sales of licensed products and (v) other consideration payable upon optional goods and services purchased by licensees. Sublicense fees vary by license and range from a mid-single digit percentage to a low-double digit percentage of license fees received by licensees as a result of sublicenses. Royalties on net sales of commercialized products vary by license and range from a mid-single digit percentage to a low double-digit percentage of net sales by licensees.

License and royalty revenue consisted of the following (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
Zolgensma royalties	$	16,125	$	21,539
Other license and royalty revenue		3,013		679
Total license and royalty revenue	$	19,138	$	22,218

Outstanding development milestone payments are evaluated each reporting period and are only included in the transaction price of each license and recognized as license revenue to the extent the milestones are considered probable of achievement. Sales-based milestones are excluded from the transaction price of each license agreement and recognized as royalty revenue in the period of achievement. As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s license agreements, excluding additional licenses that could be granted upon the exercise of options by licensees, contained unachieved milestones which could result in aggregate milestone payments to the Company of up to $1.56 billion, including (i) $537.8 million upon the commencement of various stages of clinical trials, (ii) $17.0 million upon the submission of regulatory approval filings, (iii) $133.0 million upon the approval of commercial products by regulatory agencies and (iv) $875.0 million upon the achievement of specified sales targets for licensed products, including milestones payable upon the first commercial sales of licensed products. To the extent the milestone payments are realized by the Company, the Company will be obligated to pay sublicense fees to licensors based on a specified percentage of the fees earned by the Company. The achievement of these milestones is highly dependent on the successful development and commercialization of licensed products and it is at least reasonably possible that some or all of the milestone fees will not be realized by the Company.

Performance obligations satisfied in previous periods	$	18,132	$	21,541

Contract assets as of March 31, 2023 are included in other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company did not record any contract assets as of December 31, 2022.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had recorded deferred revenue of $1.3 million which represents consideration received or unconditionally due from licensees for performance obligations that have not yet been satisfied by the Company. Unsatisfied performance obligations as of March 31, 2023 consisted of research and development services to be performed by the Company related to licensed products, which will be satisfied as the research and development services are performed. As of March 31, 2023, the aggregate transaction price of the Company’s license agreements allocated to performance obligations not yet satisfied, or partially satisfied, was $2.7 million, which is expected to be satisfied over a period of approximately two years.

Revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods, as presented in the table above, was primarily attributable to Zolgensma royalties and changes in the transaction prices of the Company’s license agreements. Changes in transaction prices were primarily attributable to development milestones achieved or deemed probable of achievement during the periods which were previously not considered probable of achievement, resulting in a cumulative catch-up adjustment to revenue. Revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 resulting from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods included $2.0 million and zero, respectively, in cumulative catch-up adjustments for changes in the probability of achievement of development milestones.

The Company did not record a provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Zolgensma License with Novartis Gene Therapies

In March 2014, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement (as amended, the Novartis License) with Novartis Gene Therapies (formerly AveXis, Inc.). Under the Novartis License, the Company granted Novartis Gene Therapies an exclusive, worldwide commercial license, with rights to sublicense, to the NAV Technology Platform, as well as other certain rights, for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) in humans by in vivo gene therapy. In 2019, Novartis Gene Therapies launched commercial sales of Zolgensma, a licensed product under the Novartis License. In accordance with the Novartis License, the Company recognizes royalty revenue on net sales of Zolgensma.

The Company recognized the following amounts under the Novartis License (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
Zolgensma royalties	$	16,125	$	21,539
Total license and royalty revenue	$	16,125	$	21,539

Interest income from licensing	$	8	$	5

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had recorded total accounts receivable of $18.0 million and $27.3 million, respectively, from Novartis Gene Therapies under the Novartis License, which consisted primarily of Zolgensma royalties receivable. The Zolgensma royalties receivable recorded as of March 31, 2023 included $13.0 million expected to be paid to HCR in accordance with the Royalty Purchase Agreement discussed in Note 6. The Company recognizes royalty revenue from net sales of Zolgensma in the period in which the underlying products are sold by Novartis Gene Therapies, which in certain cases may require the Company to estimate royalty revenue for periods of net sales which have not yet been reported to the Company. Estimated royalties are reconciled to actual amounts reported in subsequent periods, and any differences are recognized as an adjustment to royalty revenue in the period the royalties are reported.

Settlement Agreement with Abeona Therapeutics

In November 2021, the Company entered into a settlement agreement and mutual release with Abeona (the Settlement Agreement) related to claims associated with a license agreement between the parties which was terminated in May 2020. The Settlement Agreement resolved all arbitration and legal proceedings and mutually released each party from any and all claims under the terminated license agreement. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Abeona will pay the Company a total of $30.0 million as follows: (i) $20.0 million which was paid in November 2021, (ii) $5.0 which was paid in November 2022, and (iii) $5.0 million payable on the earlier of the third anniversary of the Settlement Agreement in November 2024 or the closing of a specified type of transaction by Abeona.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had recorded gross, non-current accounts receivable of $4.3 million and $4.2 million, respectively, from Abeona under the Settlement Agreement. The gross accounts receivable of $4.3 million as of March 31, 2023 consisted of the $5.0 million payment due by November 2024, net of discount to present value. While the Company anticipates taking appropriate measures to enforce the full collection of all amounts due from Abeona under the Settlement Agreement, the Company assessed the collectability of the accounts receivable from Abeona as it relates to credit risk. In performing this assessment, the Company evaluated Abeona’s credit profile and financial condition, as well its expectations regarding Abeona’s future cash flows and ability to satisfy the contractual obligations of the Settlement Agreement. As a result of its analysis, the

Table of Contents

Company recorded an allowance for credit losses of $4.3 million and $4.2 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, related to the non-current accounts receivable due from Abeona. No provision for credit losses was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 related to the receivable from Abeona. The present value discount of the non-current accounts receivable from Abeona is accreted as interest income from licensing through the contractual due date using the effective interest method. The Company has elected to record increases in the allowance for credit losses associated with the accretion of the present value discount of the receivable as a reduction of the associated interest income, resulting in no interest income recognized during the periods related to the accretion of the present value discount on the non-current receivable from Abeona.

Collaboration Agreements

AbbVie Collaboration and License Agreement

Effective in November 2021, the Company entered into a collaboration and license agreement with AbbVie Global Enterprises Ltd. (AbbVie), a subsidiary of AbbVie Inc., to jointly develop and commercialize ABBV-RGX-314, the Company’s product candidate for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD), diabetic retinopathy (DR) and other chronic retinal diseases (the AbbVie Collaboration Agreement).

Pursuant to the AbbVie Collaboration Agreement, the Company granted AbbVie a co-exclusive license to develop and commercialize ABBV-RGX-314 in the United States and an exclusive license to develop and commercialize ABBV-RGX-314 outside the United States. The Company and AbbVie will collaborate to develop ABBV-RGX-314 in the United States, and AbbVie will be responsible for the development of ABBV-RGX-314 in specified markets outside the United States. Through December 31, 2022, the Company was responsible for the development expenses related to certain ongoing clinical trials of ABBV-RGX-314 and the parties shared the additional development expenses related to ABBV-RGX-314. Beginning on January 1, 2023, AbbVie is responsible for the majority of all ABBV-RGX-314 development expenses.

The Company will lead the manufacturing of ABBV-RGX-314 for clinical development and U.S. commercial supply, and AbbVie will lead the manufacturing of ABBV-RGX-314 for commercial supply outside the United States. Manufacturing expenses will be allocated between the parties in accordance with the terms of the AbbVie Collaboration Agreement and supply agreements determined in accordance with the agreement. If requested by AbbVie, the Company will manufacture up to a specified portion of ABBV-RGX-314 for commercial supply outside the United States at a price specified in the agreement. AbbVie will lead the commercialization of ABBV-RGX-314 globally, and the Company will participate in U.S. commercialization efforts as provided under a commercialization plan determined in accordance with the agreement. The Company and AbbVie will share equally in the net profits and net losses associated with the commercialization of ABBV-RGX-314 in the United States. Outside the United States, AbbVie will be responsible, at its sole cost, for the commercialization of ABBV-RGX-314.

In consideration for the rights granted under the AbbVie Collaboration Agreement, AbbVie paid the Company an up-front fee of $370.0 million upon the effective date of the agreement in November 2021 and is required to pay to the Company up to $1.38 billion upon the achievement of specified development and sales-based milestones, of which $562.5 million are based on development milestones and $820.0 million are sales-based milestones. AbbVie is also required to pay to the Company tiered royalties on net sales of ABBV-RGX-314 outside the United States at percentages in the mid-teens to low twenties, subject to specified offsets and reductions.

The Company applied the requirements of Topic 606 to the AbbVie Collaboration Agreement for the units of account in which AbbVie was deemed to be a customer. The Company determined that there is only one material performance obligation under the agreement for the delivery of the intellectual property license to develop and commercialize ABBV-RGX-314 globally. The intellectual property licensed to AbbVie includes the rights to certain patents, data, know-how and other rights developed and owned by the Company, as well as other intellectual property rights exclusively licensed by the Company from various third parties. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the transaction price of the AbbVie Collaboration Agreement was $370.0 million, which consisted solely of the up-front payment received from AbbVie in November 2021. The $370.0 million transaction price was fully recognized as revenue upon the delivery of the license to AbbVie in November 2021. Variable consideration under the AbbVie Collaboration Agreement, which has been excluded from the transaction price, includes $562.5 million in payments for development milestones that have not yet been achieved and were not considered probable of achievement. Additionally, the transaction price excludes sales-based milestone payments of $820.0 million and royalties on net sales of ABBV-RGX-314 outside the United States. Development milestones will be added to the transaction price and recognized as revenue upon achievement, or if deemed probable of achievement. In accordance with the sale- or usage-based royalty exception under Topic 606, royalties on net sales and sales-based milestones will be recognized as revenue in the period the underlying sales occur or milestones are achieved. There were no changes in the transaction price of the AbbVie Collaboration Agreement, and no revenue was recognized, during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Overview

We are a leading clinical-stage biotechnology company seeking to improve lives through the curative potential of gene therapy. Our investigational gene therapies are designed to deliver functional genes to address genetic defects in cells, enabling the production of therapeutic proteins or antibodies that are intended to impact disease. Through a single administration, gene therapy could potentially alter the course of disease significantly and deliver improved patient outcomes with long-lasting effects.

Overview of Product Candidates

We have developed a broad pipeline of gene therapy programs using our proprietary adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy delivery platform (NAV Technology Platform) to address genetic diseases. Our programs and product candidates are described below:

•

ABBV-RGX-314: In May 2023 we announced updates from our eye care collaboration with AbbVie, including the transfer of the Investigational New Drug (IND) applications to AbbVie for all ongoing clinical trials and the expansion of the ATMOSPHERE® and ASCENT™ pivotal trials of RGX-314 delivered subretinally for the treatment of patients with wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD) to support new global registration plans. As part of the IND transfers, the investigational gene therapy RGX-314 has been renamed ABBV-RGX-314 and all references to this program are now “ABBV-RGX-314”. We are developing ABBV-RGX-314 in collaboration with AbbVie as a potential one-time treatment for wet AMD, diabetic retinopathy (DR) and other additional chronic retinal conditions which cause total or partial vision loss. ABBV-RGX-314 is currently being evaluated in nine ongoing clinical trials in the U.S. and Canada, including two pivotal trials, a Phase II bridging study, a Long-term Follow-up study, and a Fellow Eye study in patients with wet AMD, all utilizing subretinal delivery, as well as two Phase II clinical trials in patients with wet AMD and DR, and two corresponding Long-term Follow-up studies, all utilizing in-office suprachoroidal delivery.

We are evaluating two separate routes of administration of ABBV-RGX-314 to the eye: a subretinal delivery procedure as well as a targeted, in-office administration to the suprachoroidal space. ABBV-RGX-314 uses the NAV® AAV8 vector to deliver a gene encoding a therapeutic antibody fragment to inhibit vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). We have licensed certain exclusive rights to the SCS Microinjector® from Clearside Biomedical, Inc. (Clearside) to deliver gene therapy treatments to the suprachoroidal space of the eye.

The pivotal trials utilizing subretinal delivery are now expected to add new sites in Europe, Japan and Israel to advance global development plans. Additional clinical trial applications will be submitted to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency in Japan. The ATMOSPHERE® and ASCENT™ trials are also expected to expand enrollment up to 540 and 660 patients, respectively. As prospectively allowed in the pivotal trial protocols, the enrollment expansion is also expected to support increase in power of primary and secondary endpoints to support additional global marketing approval and labeling requirements. The new global site plans and expanded enrollment targets are expected to support regulatory submissions with the U.S. Food and Drug Agency (FDA) and the EMA in late 2025 through the first half of 2026.

We are also evaluating the pharmacodynamics, safety and efficacy of ABBV-RGX-314 in patients with wet AMD using the subretinal delivery approach in a Phase II bridging study using cGMP material produced by our NAVXpress™ suspension platform process. In February 2023, interim data was presented demonstrating that ABBV-RGX-314 manufactured using our NAVXpress™ suspension platform process was well-tolerated and exhibited a similar clinical profile to the initial adherent cell culture process used in the Phase I/IIa trial. Patients in the two high dose cohorts also demonstrated stable to improved best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central retinal thickness (CRT), and meaningful reductions in anti-VEGF burden, with a majority of subjects injection-free. This material has been incorporated in the pivotal trials.

A Fellow Eye Treatment study has also been initiated in the subretinal program. The Fellow Eye Treatment study will evaluate the safety, efficacy, and immunogenicity of subretinal ABBV-RGX-314 administration in the fellow eye of

Table of Contents

patients from ATMOSPHERE and ASCENT having bilateral disease who previously received a subretinal injection of ABBV-RGX-314. Data from patients enrolled in this study are expected to further support global regulatory submission plans.

We have completed enrollment of Cohort 6 in the AAVIATE® trial, a multi-center, open label, randomized, controlled, dose-escalation Phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of suprachoroidal delivery of ABBV-RGX-314 for the treatment of wet AMD. Cohort 6 (dose level 3) incorporated short-course prophylactic ocular steroids following ABBV-RGX-314 administration to evaluate the ability to prevent or reduce the occurrence of the mild to moderate intraocular inflammation seen in previous cohorts. Patients were enrolled in Cohort 6 regardless of neutralizing antibody (NAb) status. We expect to report additional interim trial data from the Phase II AAVIATE® trial, including initial data from Cohort 6, in the second half of 2023.

We have completed enrollment in Cohorts 4 and 5 (dose level 3) in the ALTITUDE® trial, a multi-center, open label, randomized, controlled, dose-escalation Phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of ABBV-RGX-314 for the treatment of DR. In these cohorts, patients were stratified by Diabetic Retinopathy Severity Scale (DRSS) levels and all patients received short-course prophylactic ocular steroids following ABBV-RGX-314 administration. We expect to report additional interim trial data, including initial data from the third dose level, in the second half of 2023.

•

RGX-202: We are developing RGX-202 for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (Duchenne), a rare disease caused by mutations in the gene responsible for making dystrophin, a protein of central importance for muscle cell structure and function. Without dystrophin, muscles throughout the body degenerate and become weak, eventually leading to loss of movement and independence, required support for breathing, cardiomyopathy and premature death.

AFFINITY DUCHENNE™, a multicenter, open-label dose evaluation and dose expansion clinical trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability and clinical efficacy of a one-time intravenous (IV) dose of RGX-202 in patients with Duchenne continues to recruit patients and is expected to use commercial-scale cGMP material from our NAVXpress™ bioreactor platform process in the clinical trial. We expect to report initial data from this trial in the second half of 2023.

In April 2023, the FDA granted Fast Track designation to RGX-202 for the treatment of Duchenne. Fast Track designation aims to facilitate the development and expedite the review of new therapeutics to treat serious or life-threatening conditions and that demonstrate the potential to address unmet medical needs.

The AFFINITY BEYOND™ trial, an observational screening study, is also active and recruiting patients. The primary objective is to evaluate the prevalence of AAV8 antibodies in patients with Duchenne up to 12 years of age. Information collected in this study may be used to identify potential participants for the AFFINITY DUCHENNE trial and potential future trials of RGX-202.

•

RGX-121: We are developing RGX-121 for the treatment of Mucopolysaccharidosis Type II (MPS II), a rare disease caused by a deficiency of the IDS gene which encodes I2S, an enzyme that is responsible for the breakdown of structures that dispose of waste products inside cells.

Enrollment is ongoing in the pivotal program of CAMPSIITETM, a Phase I/II/III multi-center, open-label trial to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability and pharmacodynamics of RGX-121 in patients with MPS II aged 4 months up to 5 years old. The trial is expected to complete enrollment of 10 MPS II patients in the first half of 2023 to support a BLA filing in 2024 using the accelerated approval pathway. The trial is expected to incorporate material from our NAVXpress™ suspension platform process to support the future commercialization of RGX-121, if approved.

In February 2023, additional interim data was presented from the Phase I/II part of the CAMPSIITETM trial demonstrating that RGX-121 continued to be well-tolerated across 15 patients. Patients receiving the pivotal program dose level continued to demonstrate the largest reductions in cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), including Heparin Sulfate (HS) and HS D2S6, which approached normal levels at 48 weeks. CSF GAGs have the potential to be considered a surrogate biomarker that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit in MPS II disease under the accelerated approval pathway, as buildup of GAGs in the CSF of MPS II patients correlates with clinical manifestations, including neurodevelopmental deficits. In addition, improvements in neurodevelopmental and daily activity skill acquisition were observed up to three years after RGX-121 administration.

A second Phase I/II trial of RGX-121 is ongoing for the treatment of pediatric patients with MPS II ages 5-18 years old to evaluate the safety of a single administration of RGX-121, the effects of RGX-121 on biomarkers of I2S enzyme activity, and changes in cognitive function, adaptive behavior, daily function and quality of life.

RGX-111: We are developing RGX-111 for the treatment of Mucopolysaccharidosis Type I (MPS I), a rare disease caused by a deficiency of IDUA, an enzyme required for the breakdown of structures that dispose of waste products inside cells.

We are conducting a Phase I/II clinical trial in patients with MPS I to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacodynamics of RGX-111, as well as the effects of RGX-111 on biomarkers of IDUA activity, neurocognitive development and other outcome measures. The RGX-111 trial for the treatment of MPS I is fully enrolled with follow-up ongoing. The Company has completed the manufacture of commercial-scale cGMP material using the NAVXpress™ platform process to support the continued development of RGX-111. As of February 2023, we received data that RGX-111 was well-tolerated in 8 patients. Biomarker and neurodevelopmental assessments indicated an encouraging central nervous system (CNS) profile in patients dosed with RGX-111. We expect to complete analytical characterization of the commercial-scale cGMP material and share additional updates on program plans in the second half of 2023.

•

RGX-181: We are developing RGX-181 for the treatment of late-infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 2 (CLN2) disease, a form of Batten disease, caused by mutations in the tripeptidyl peptidase 1 (TPP1) gene.

Physician investigators continue with follow up in the first child with CLN2 disease dosed with RGX-181 under a single-patient investigator-initiated study. We plan to provide a program update by the end of 2023.

•

RGX-381: We are developing RGX-381 for the treatment of the ocular manifestations of CLN2 disease using the NAV AAV9 vector to deliver the TPP1 gene directly to the retina. The Phase I/II first-in-human, open-label, dose-escalation clinical trial of RGX-381 is on track to initiate in the second quarter of 2023. The trial will evaluate the safety and tolerability, as well as the effect on retinal anatomic and functional outcomes, of the subretinal delivery of RGX-381 for the treatment of ocular manifestations of CLN2 disease.

Overview of Our NAV Technology Platform

In addition to our internal product development efforts, we also selectively license the NAV Technology Platform to other leading biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, which we refer to as NAV Technology Licensees. As of March 31, 2023, our NAV Technology Platform was being applied in one commercialized product (Zolgensma®), and the preclinical and clinical development of a number of partnered programs. Licensing the NAV Technology Platform allows us to maintain our internal product development focus on our core disease indications and therapeutic areas while still expanding the NAV gene therapy pipeline, developing a greater breadth of treatments for patients, providing additional technological and potential clinical proof-of-concept for our NAV Technology Platform and creating potential additional revenue.

Financial Overview

Revenues

Our revenues to date consist primarily of license and royalty revenue resulting from the licensing of our NAV Technology Platform and other intellectual property rights. We have not generated any revenues from commercial sales of our own products. If we fail to complete the development of our product candidates in a timely manner or obtain regulatory approval and adequate labeling, our ability to generate future revenues will be materially compromised.

We license our NAV Technology Platform and other intellectual property rights to other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, including collaborators for the joint development and commercialization of our product candidates. The terms of the licenses vary, and licenses may be exclusive or non-exclusive and may be sublicensable by the licensee. Licenses may grant intellectual property rights for purposes of internal and preclinical research and development only, or may include the rights, or options to obtain future rights, to commercialize drug therapies for specific diseases using the NAV Technology Platform and other licensed rights. License agreements generally have a term at least equal to the life of the underlying patents, but are terminable at the option of the licensee. Consideration from licensees under our license agreements may include: (i) up-front and annual fees, (ii) milestone payments based on the achievement of certain development and sales-based milestones, (iii) sublicense fees, (iv) royalties on sales of licensed products and (v) other consideration payable upon optional goods and services purchased by licensees.

Table of Contents

Future license and royalty revenues are dependent on the successful development and commercialization of licensed products, which is uncertain, and revenues may fluctuate significantly from period to period. Additionally, we may never receive consideration in our license agreements that is contemplated on option fees, development and sales-based milestone payments, royalties on sales of licensed products or sublicense fees, given the contingent nature of these payments. Our revenues are concentrated among a low number of licensees and licenses are terminable at the option of the licensee. The termination of our licenses by licensees may materially impact the amount of revenue we recognize in future periods.

Zolgensma Royalties

Royalty revenue to date consists primarily of royalties on net sales of Zolgensma, which is marketed by Novartis Gene Therapies, Inc. (formerly AveXis, Inc.) (Novartis Gene Therapies), a wholly owned subsidiary of Novartis AG (Novartis), for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Zolgensma is a licensed product under our license agreement with Novartis Gene Therapies for the development and commercialization of treatments for SMA using the NAV Technology Platform.

Collaboration and License Agreement with AbbVie

In accordance with our revenue recognition policy, interest income from licensing consists of imputed interest recognized from significant financing components identified in our license agreements with NAV Technology Licensees as well as interest income accrued on unpaid balances due from licensees.

Investment Income

Investment income consists of interest income earned and gains and losses realized from our cash equivalents, marketable securities and non-marketable equity securities, as well as unrealized gains and losses on marketable equity securities. Cash equivalents are comprised of money market mutual funds and highly liquid debt securities with original maturities of 90 days or less at acquisition. Marketable securities are comprised of available-for-sale debt securities and equity securities.

Interest Expense

Interest expense consists primarily of interest imputed on the liability related to the sale of future Zolgensma royalties to entities managed by Healthcare Royalty Management, LLC (collectively, HCR). Interest expense is recognized using the effective interest method, based on our estimate of total royalty payments expected to be received by HCR under the royalty purchase agreement. For further information regarding the royalty purchase agreement with HCR, please refer to Note 6, “Liability Related to Sale of Future Royalties” to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities for the periods presented. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities, and other reported amounts, that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our significant accounting policies are fully described in Note 2 to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and in Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates since December 31, 2022.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

License and Royalty Revenue. License and royalty revenue decreased by $3.1 million, from $22.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $19.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to Zolgensma royalty revenues, which decreased by $5.4 million, from $21.5 million for the first quarter of 2022 to $16.1 million for the first quarter of 2023. As reported by Novartis, sales of Zolgensma for the first quarter of 2023 decreased by 15% (USD) as compared to the first quarter of 2022, primarily declining in Europe, mainly due to price mix and other one-time events as the number of patients treated was relatively stable.

Table of Contents

Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues decreased by $11.6 million, from $15.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to a non-recurring charge of $9.2 million recognized in the first quarter of 2022 related to the amendment of our license agreement with The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) to buy out our obligation to pay sublicense fees to Penn under the license agreement.

Research and Development Expense. Research and development expenses increased by $2.9 million, from $55.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $58.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to the following:

•

an increase of $3.6 million in costs for laboratories and facilities used by research and development personnel, including a $1.6 million increase in depreciation expense allocated to research and development functions, largely driven by the activation of our cGMP facility in mid-2022; and

•

an increase of $2.1 million in personnel-related costs as a result of increased headcount of research and development personnel, including a $0.4 million increase in stock-based compensation expense, largely driven by the commencement of in-house manufacturing of clinical supply in mid-2022.

The increase in research and development expenses was partially offset by a decrease of $3.1 million in costs associated with clinical trial and regulatory activities, which was largely driven by an increase in net development cost reimbursement from AbbVie under our ABBV-RGX-314 collaboration. In accordance with the AbbVie Collaboration Agreement, through December 31, 2022, we were responsible for development expenses related to certain ongoing clinical trials of ABBV-RGX-314 and the remaining ABBV-RGX-314 development expenses were shared with AbbVie. Beginning in 2023, AbbVie is responsible for the majority of all ABBV-RGX-314 development expenses.

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expenses remained consistent, increasing by $0.3 million, from $22.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $22.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

As of March 31, 2023, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $473.5 million, which were primarily derived from the sale of our common stock, license and royalty revenue and the monetization of our Zolgensma royalty stream. We expect that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of March 31, 2023, will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements, and are sufficient to meet our financial commitments and obligations, for at least the next 12 months from the date of this report, based on our current business plan.

We intend to devote the majority of our current capital to clinical development, seeking regulatory approval of our product candidates and, if approved, commercialization of our product candidates, as well as additional capital expenditures needed to support these activities. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development and commercialization of gene therapy product candidates, we are unable to estimate the total amount of operating expenditures and capital outlays necessary to complete the development of our product candidates. Additionally, our estimates are based on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we may use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect.

Cash Flows

Our consolidated cash flows were as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023			2022
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(80,918	)	$	(55,911	)
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities		63,094			(90,591	)
Net cash used in financing activities		(9,037	)		(6,834	)
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	(26,861	)	$	(153,336	)

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Our net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased by $25.0 million from the three months ended March 31, 2022. We expect to continue to incur regular net cash outflows from operations for the foreseeable future as we continue the development and advancement of our product candidates and other research programs.

Table of Contents

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, our net cash used in operating activities of $80.9 million consisted of a net loss of $66.7 million and unfavorable changes in operating assets and liabilities of $29.6 million, offset by adjustments for non-cash items of $15.4 million. The unfavorable changes in operating assets and liabilities include a decrease in total accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $18.5 million, which were driven primarily by decreases in accrued sublicense fees and royalties and accrued personnel expenses, and an increase in total prepaid expenses and other current assets of $15.3 million, which was driven primarily by an increase in amounts due from AbbVie for net reimbursement of development costs under our ABBV-RGX-314 collaboration. Other changes in operating assets and liabilities occurred in the normal course of business as a result of changes in operating working capital. Adjustments for non-cash items primarily consisted of stock-based compensation expense of $11.2 million and depreciation and amortization expense of $4.2 million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, our net cash used in operating activities of $55.9 million consisted of a net loss of $76.7 million, offset by adjustments for non-cash items of $14.8 million and favorable changes in operating assets and liabilities of $6.0 million. Adjustments for non-cash items primarily consisted of stock-based compensation expense of $10.8 million and depreciation and amortization expense of $2.6 million. The changes in operating assets and liabilities included a decrease in accounts receivable of $5.7 million primarily attributable to a decrease in Zolgensma royalties receivable, a decrease in other current assets of $3.0 million which was largely driven by a decrease in amounts due from AbbVie for net reimbursement of development costs under our ABBV-RGX-314 collaboration, and an increase in other liabilities of $6.9 million which was driven largely by a long-term liability recorded during the period resulting from the amendment of our license agreement with Penn. The favorable changes in operating assets and liabilities were partially offset by a net decrease in total accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $9.7 million which was driven primarily by a decrease in accrued personnel costs. Other changes in operating assets and liabilities occurred in the normal course of business as a result of changes in operating working capital.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, our net cash provided by investing activities consisted of $67.9 million in maturities of marketable debt securities, offset by $4.8 million to purchase property and equipment.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, our net cash used in investing activities consisted of $129.5 million to purchase marketable debt securities and $11.0 million to purchase property and equipment, offset by $49.9 million in maturities of marketable debt securities.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, our net cash used in financing activities primarily consisted of $9.7 million of Zolgensma royalties paid, net of imputed interest, under our royalty purchase agreement with HCR, and was partially offset by $1.1 million in proceeds received from the exercise of stock options and issuance of common stock under our employee stock purchase plan.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, our net cash used in financing activities primarily consisted of $7.5 million of Zolgensma royalties paid, net of imputed interest, under our royalty purchase agreement with HCR, and was partially offset by $1.0 million in proceeds received from the exercise of stock options and issuance of common stock under our employee stock purchase plan.

Additional Capital Requirements

Our material capital requirements from known contractual and other obligations primarily relate to vendor service contracts and purchase commitments, in-license agreements, operating lease agreements and our Zolgensma royalty purchase agreement with HCR. Our material commitments and obligations are further described in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Other than the changes described in the notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements accompanying this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including Note 7, “Commitments and Contingencies,” there have been no material changes to our commitments and obligations since December 31, 2022.

Future Funding Requirements

We have incurred cumulative losses since our inception and had an accumulated deficit of $508.2 million as of March 31, 2023. Our transition to recurring profitability is dependent upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support our cost structure, which

Table of Contents

depends heavily on the successful development, approval and commercialization of our product candidates. We do not expect to achieve such revenues, and expect to continue to incur losses, for at least the next several years. We expect that our research and development and general and administrative expenses will continue to increase for the foreseeable future as we continue the development of, and seek regulatory approval for, our product candidates. Subject to obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses for product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution. Additionally, we expect to continue to incur capital expenditures associated with building out additional laboratory and manufacturing capacity to further support the development of our product candidates and potential commercialization efforts. As a result, we will need significant additional capital to fund our operations, which we may obtain through one or more equity offerings, debt financings or other third-party funding, including potential strategic alliances and licensing or collaboration arrangements.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

•

the timing of enrollment, commencement and completion of our clinical trials;

•

the results of our clinical trials;

•

the results of our preclinical studies for our product candidates and any subsequent clinical trials;

•

the scope, progress, results and costs of drug discovery, laboratory testing, preclinical development and clinical trials for our product candidates;

•

the costs associated with building out additional laboratory and manufacturing capacity;

•

the costs, timing and outcome of regulatory review of our product candidates;

•

the costs of future product sales, medical affairs, marketing, manufacturing and distribution activities for any of our product candidates for which we receive marketing approval;

•

revenue, if any, received from commercial sales of our products, should any of our product candidates receive marketing approval;

•

revenue received from commercial sales of Zolgensma and the timing and amount of Zolgensma royalties paid to HCR under our royalty purchase agreement;

•

revenue received from other commercial sales of our licensees’ and collaborators’ products, should any of their product candidates receive marketing approval, and other revenue received under our licensing agreements and collaborations;

•

the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights and defending any intellectual property-related claims;

•

our current licensing agreements or collaborations remaining in effect, including the AbbVie Collaboration Agreement;

•

our ability to establish and maintain additional licensing agreements or collaborations on favorable terms, if at all; and

•

the extent to which we acquire or in-license other product candidates and technologies.

Many of these factors are outside of our control. Identifying potential product candidates and conducting preclinical testing and clinical trials is a time-consuming, expensive and uncertain process that takes years to complete, and we may never generate the necessary data or results required to obtain regulatory and marketing approval and achieve product sales. In addition, our product candidates, if approved, may not achieve commercial success. Our product revenues, if any, and any commercial milestones or royalty payments under our licensing agreements, will be derived from or based on sales of products that may not be commercially available for many years, if at all. In addition, revenue from our NAV Technology Platform licensing is dependent in part on the clinical and commercial success of our licensing partners, including the commercialization of Zolgensma, and on maintaining our license agreements with our licensor partners, including GlaxoSmithKline LLC and Penn. Accordingly, we will need to continue to rely on additional financing to achieve our business objectives.

The issuance of additional securities, whether equity or debt, by us, or the possibility of such issuance, may cause the market price of our common stock to decline. Adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. We also could be required to seek funds through arrangements with partners or otherwise that may require us to relinquish rights to our intellectual property, our product candidates or otherwise agree to terms unfavorable to us.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

For information regarding market risk, refer to Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. There have been no material changes to our exposure to market risk during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Control systems, no matter how well conceived and operated, are designed to provide a reasonable, but not an absolute, level of assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in any control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
