SCYNEXIS, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. Description of Business and Basis of Preparation

Organization

SCYNEXIS, Inc. ("SCYNEXIS" or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation formed on November 4, 1999. SCYNEXIS is a biotechnology company, headquartered in Jersey City, New Jersey, and is pioneering innovative medicines to overcome and prevent difficult-to-treat and drug-resistant infections. The Company is developing its proprietary class of enfumafungin-derived antifungal compounds (“fungerps") as broad-spectrum, systemic antifungal agents for multiple fungal indications. Ibrexafungerp is the first representative of this novel class of antifungals with additional assets from the “fungerp” family under development, including SCY-247 which is currently in clinical stages of development. In June 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved BREXAFEMME (ibrexafungerp tablets) for treatment of patients with vulvovaginal candidiasis, also known as vaginal yeast infection, and in December 2022, the Company announced that the FDA approved a second indication for BREXAFEMME for the reduction in the incidence of recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis.

As previously disclosed, the Company and GlaxoSmithKline Intellectual Property (No. 3) Limited (“GSK”) entered into an exclusive license agreement dated March 30, 2023, which was subsequently amended by a binding memorandum of understanding dated December 26, 2023 (collectively, the “GSK License Agreement”).

As previously disclosed, the Phase 3 MARIO study of ibrexafungerp for the treatment of invasive candidiasis was placed on clinical hold in September 2023 following identification of a potential cross-contamination at the facility of the drug substance manufacturer in light of draft FDA guidance recommending that certain drugs be manufactured in separate facilities. One of these drugs, a non-antibiotic beta lactam drug called ezetimibe, was being manufactured at the same facility as ibrexafungerp. The Company has since moved the manufacture of ibrexafungerp to a new facility and has been working on generating new material with a goal of lifting the clinical hold and resuming the MARIO study. New clinical supplies to enable the re-start of the MARIO study have been manufactured and information supporting the use of these supplies to re-start clinical activities was provided to the FDA.

On April 24, 2025, the FDA notified the Company that the clinical hold on ibrexafungerp had been lifted and concluded that the Phase 3 MARIO study could resume. Subsequently, on April 28, 2025, GSK notified the Company of their intention to immediately terminate the study based on its purported rights under the GSK License Agreement to unilaterally terminate the MARIO study. GSK claimed that, as a result, it would have no obligations to pay any further development milestones related to the MARIO study, including $30.0 million tied to the resumption and continuation of the study. The Company does not believe that GSK currently has the right to unilaterally terminate the MARIO study under the GSK License Agreement.

Pursuant to the GSK License Agreement, the Company is responsible for conducting the MARIO study. The GSK License Agreement provides that certain material changes to the study, including termination, require mutual written agreement of both parties. The Company has not provided such agreement. The GSK License Agreement only provides GSK with a unilateral termination right in the event that dosage of the first new patient in MARIO had not occurred by a particular date. The date was set as April 26, 2025, subject to automatic extension of up to two months, or June 26, 2025, if the implementation of additional in process control method validation was included in the amended IND or required by GSK, resulting in additional time in the manufacturing process.

The Company is seeking to resolve this disagreement with GSK. Meanwhile, the Company is reinitiating the MARIO study, with the goal of dosing the first new patient by June 26, 2025, collecting its development milestones from GSK, and ultimately completing the study.

The Company remains committed to developing novel antifungal solutions to the rising threat of deadly fungal infections including invasive candidiasis for which there are limited treatment options and significant concerns for emergence of resistances, as highlighted by the WHO in their call to industry and other parties for research, development and public health action in this area of unmet need.

The Company had an accumulated deficit of $381.9 million at March 31, 2025. The Company's capital resources primarily comprised cash and cash equivalents and investments of $53.8 million at March 31, 2025. While the Company believes its capital resources are sufficient to fund the Company’s on-going operations for a period of at least 12 months subsequent to the issuance of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company's liquidity could be materially affected over this period by: (1) its ability to raise additional capital through equity offerings, debt financings, or other non-dilutive third-party funding; (2) costs associated with new or existing strategic alliances, or licensing

and collaboration arrangements; (3) negative regulatory events or unanticipated costs related to its development of SCY-247 and ibrexafungerp; (4) its ability to successfully achieve the development, regulatory, and commercial milestones under its GSK License Agreement; and (5) any other unanticipated material negative events or costs. One or more of these events or costs could materially affect the Company’s liquidity. If the Company is unable to meet its obligations when they become due, the Company may have to delay expenditures, reduce the scope of its research and development programs, or make significant changes to its operating plan. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and judgments include: determination of the fair value of stock-based compensation grants; the estimate of services and effort expended by third-party research and development service providers used to recognize research and development expense; and the estimates and assumptions utilized in measuring the fair value of the warrant liability each reporting period.

Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”), as contained in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification” or “ASC”) for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, the interim financial information includes all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year or the results for any future periods. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 12, 2025.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes follow the same significant accounting policies as those described in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2024, except as described below.

Basic and Diluted Net (Loss) Income per Share of Common Stock

The Company calculates net (loss) income per common share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic net (loss) income per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was determined by dividing net (loss) income applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Per ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding utilized for determining the basic net (loss) income per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 includes the outstanding prefunded warrants to purchase 7,516,267 and 3,200,000 shares of common stock issued in the April 2022 public offering and December 2020 public offering, respectively. Diluted net (loss) income per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was determined as follows (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which introduced new guidance on disclosures for reportable segments and significant segment expenses, including for entities with a single reportable segment. This guidance is effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2024 and interim periods beginning January 1, 2025. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 in the prior annual reporting period.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which introduced new guidance on disclosures for income taxes, including enhancements to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures. This guidance is effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2025. ASU 2023-09 did not have a material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which introduced new guidance on disclosures for specified costs and expenses. This guidance is effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2024-03 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company carries investments at amortized cost. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of the corporate and agency bonds totals $46.9 million and $59.1 million, respectively, which is determined based on “Level 2” inputs, which consist of quoted prices for similar assets in active markets. The Company has evaluated the unrealized loss position in the corporate and agency bonds as of the balance sheet dates and did not consider it to be indicative of an other-than-temporary impairment as the securities are highly-rated and the Company expects to realize the full principal amount at maturity.

March 2019 Note Purchase Agreement

On March 7, 2019, the Company entered into a Senior Convertible Note Purchase Agreement (the “March 2019 Note Purchase Agreement”) with Puissance. Pursuant to the March 2019 Note Purchase Agreement, on March 7, 2019, the Company issued and sold to Puissance $16.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.0% Senior Convertible Notes due 2025 (“March 2019 Notes”), resulting in $14.7 million in net proceeds after deducting $1.3 million for an advisory fee and

7


Table of Contents

 

other issuance costs. In April 2019, Puissance converted $2.0 million of the March 2019 Notes for 162,600 shares of common stock. The March 2019 Notes matured on March 15, 2025 and the Company repaid the $14.0 million due to Puissance.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s March 2019 Notes consist of the convertible debt balance of $13.7 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $0.3 million and $0.4 million in amortization of debt issuance costs and discount related to the March 2019 Notes, respectively. The March 2019 Notes bore interest at a rate of 6.0% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year.

Legal Proceedings

On November 7, 2023, a securities class action was filed by Brian Feldman against the Company and certain of the Company's executives in the United States District Court, District of New Jersey, alleging that, during the period from March 31, 2023 to September 22, 2023, the Company made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects, alleging specifically that the Company failed to disclose to investors: (1) that the equipment used to manufacture ibrexafungerp was also used to manufacture a non-antibacterial beta-lactam drug substance, presenting a risk of cross-contamination; (2) that the Company did not have effective internal controls and procedures, as well as adequate internal oversight policies to ensure that its vendor complied with current Good Manufacturing Practices ("cGMP"); (3) that, due to the substantial risk of cross-contamination, the Company were reasonably likely to recall its ibrexafungerp tablets and halt its clinical studies; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, the Company's statements about its business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. The complaint seeks unspecified damages, interest, fees and costs on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased and/or acquired shares of the Company's common stock between March 31, 2023 to September 22, 2023. The Company has filed a motion to dismiss. On May 1, 2024, and again on June 4, 2024, purported shareholder derivative complaints were filed in the United States District Court, District of New Jersey. The complaints name the Company’s directors and certain of its officers and assert state and federal claims based on the same alleged misstatements as the securities class action complaint. These cases seek unspecified damages, disgorgement, unspecified equitable relief, interest, fees and costs. The complaints have been consolidated and are currently stayed. The Company disagrees with the allegations and intends to defend these litigations vigorously. The Company has not recognized any expense for these contingencies.

7. Stockholders’ Equity

Authorized, Issued, and Outstanding Common Stock

The Company’s authorized common stock has a par value of $0.001 per share and consists of 150,000,000 shares as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024; 39,020,274 and 37,973,991 shares were issued and outstanding at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Warrants Associated with the April 2022 Public Offering

The fair value of the April 2022 outstanding warrants have been determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, and the changes in the fair value are recorded in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The outstanding warrants associated with the April 2022 public offering meet the definition of a derivative pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and do not meet the derivative scope exception given the warrants do not qualify under the indexation guidance. As a result, the April 2022 public offering warrants were initially recognized as liabilities and measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes valuation model. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized gains of $2.9 million and $9.6 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of the warrant liabilities was $5.1 million and $8.0 million, respectively.

8. Stock-based Compensation

2024 Equity Incentive Plan

In April 2024, the Company’s board of directors adopted the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (“2024 Plan”), which was subsequently approved by the Company’s stockholders and became effective on June 19, 2024. The 2024 Plan is the successor to the 2014 Plan. The 2014 Plan terminated on February 11, 2024 and no new grants may be made under the 2014 Plan after that date, although all outstanding awards granted under the 2014 Plan will continue to be subject to the terms and conditions as set forth in the agreements evidencing such awards and the terms of the 2014 Plan. As of March 31, 2025, there were 3,903,948 shares of common stock available for future issuance under the 2024 Plan.

2015 Inducement Award Plan

As of March 31, 2025, there were 637,050 shares of common stock available for future issuance under the Company’s 2015 Inducement Award Plan (“2015 Plan”). During both the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, there were options to purchase zero shares of the Company’s common stock granted under the 2015 Plan.

The fair value of RSUs is based on the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. RSUs generally vest 33% annually over a three-year period from the date of grant. Upon vesting, the RSUs generally are net share settled to cover the required withholding tax with the remaining shares issued to the holder. The Company recognizes compensation expense for such awards ratably over the corresponding vesting period.

Stock-based Compensation Cost

The stock-based compensation cost that has been charged against income for stock awards was $0.8 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

9. Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, investments, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of such instruments.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company evaluates its financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the appropriate level in which to classify them for each reporting period. This determination requires significant judgments to be made. The following table summarizes the conclusions reached as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 for financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

The Company measures cash equivalents at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of cash equivalents is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. As of March 31, 2025, the cash and cash equivalents of $6.9 million and the restricted cash balances of $0.4 million and $0.1 million within short and long term on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet, respectively, sum to the total of $7.5 million as shown in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the warrant liability for which there is no current market such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value the Level 3 warrant liability at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. This model incorporates transaction details such as the Company’s stock price, contractual terms, maturity, risk free rates, as well as volatility. The unobservable input for all of the Level 3 warrant liability includes volatility. The historical and implied volatility of the Company, using its closing common stock prices and market data, is utilized to reflect future volatility over the expected term of the warrants. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Level 3 volatilities utilized in the Black-Scholes model to fair value the warrant liability was 82.2% and 83.4%, respectively.

10. Revenue

GSK License Agreement

On March 30, 2023 (as amended in December 2023), the Company entered into the GSK License Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the GSK License Agreement, the Company granted GSK an exclusive (even as to the Company and its affiliates), royalty-bearing, sublicensable license for the development, manufacture, and commercialization of ibrexafungerp, including the approved product BREXAFEMME, for all indications, in all countries other than Greater China and certain other countries already licensed to third parties (the “GSK Territory”). If the existing licenses granted to or agreements with third parties are terminated with respect to any country, GSK will have an exclusive first right to negotiate with the Company to add those additional countries to the GSK Territory. The parties closed the transactions contemplated by the GSK License Agreement in May 2023.

The Company evaluated the GSK License Agreement in accordance with ASC 606 as it includes a customer-vendor relationship as defined under ASC 606 and meets the criteria to be considered a contract. The Company assessed the terms of the GSK License Agreement and identified the following performance obligations which include: (1) the license for the development, manufacture, and commercialization of ibrexafungerp, including the approved product BREXAFEMME, in the GSK Territory, (2) the research and development activities for the MARIO study, and (3) performance obligations for the remaining research and development activities for the ongoing clinical and preclinical studies of ibrexafungerp.

As of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company maintains a license agreement contract asset of $9.5 million, which is associated with a success-based milestone associated with the ongoing MARIO study. The Company believes that the remaining $9.5 million license agreement contract asset as of March 31, 2025 is collectible and not impaired given the Company's probability assessment of achieving the milestone as defined in the GSK License Agreement, ongoing development activities, and other information available to the Company. If the disagreement with GSK over the MARIO study is not resolved, the Company may need to recognize a reversal of the $9.5 million license agreement contract asset and corresponding revenue and recognize the remaining $2.9 million of total deferred revenue in revenue in future periods which could materially impact the financial statements. It also creates additional uncertainty of the future commercialization of ibrexafungerp associated with the invasive candidiasis indication. See Note 1 for further details.

The Company reassessed the transaction price as of March 31, 2025, including estimated variable consideration included in the transaction price and the remaining milestones continued to be constrained.

The Company recognizes the revenue associated with the MARIO study over time using an input method. The input method is based on the actual costs incurred as a percentage of total budgeted costs towards satisfying the performance obligation as this method provides the most faithful depiction of the Company’s performance in transferring control of the services promised to GSK and represents the Company’s best estimate of the period of the obligation.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $0.3 million and $1.4 million of license agreement revenue, respectively. As of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was $1.6 million and $1.3 million of current and long-term deferred revenue, respectively, which is expected to be recognized by the end of 2026.

11. Segments

The Company has one reportable segment which is drug development. The Company primarily derives revenue from its licensing of developed drugs in difficult-to-treat and drug-resistant infections and manages the business activities on a consolidated basis. The Company’s chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM assesses performance for the drug development segment and decides how to allocate resources based on consolidated net (loss) income that also is reported on the consolidated statement of operations. The CODM uses budget, forecast, and actual results of the consolidated net (loss) income in deciding what drug development programs to further progress with its existing and planned capital resources. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as consolidated assets.

The table below provides information about the Company's drug development segment and includes the reconciliation to consolidated net (loss) income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively (in thousands):

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of results that may occur in future interim periods or future fiscal years. Some of the statements in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management and involve significant elements of subjective judgment and analysis. Words such as “expects,” “will,” “anticipates,” “targets,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “potential,” “should,” “could,” variations of such words, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Our actual results and the timing of events may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2025, and in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These and many other factors could affect our future financial and operating results. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based on information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. While we believe that information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, that information may be limited or incomplete. Our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into or review of, all relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements.

Overview

SCYNEXIS, Inc. is pioneering innovative medicines to overcome and prevent difficult-to-treat and drug-resistant infections. We are developing our proprietary antifungal platform “fungerps”, a novel class of antifungal agents called triterpenoids, that are structurally distinct glucan synthase inhibitors and have generally shown in vitro and in vivo activity against a broad range of human fungal pathogens such as Candida and Aspergillus genera, including multidrug-resistant strains, as well as Pneumocystis, Coccidioides, Histoplasma and Blastomyces genera and most common mucorales species.

Ibrexafungerp is the first representative of this novel class of antifungals with additional assets from the “fungerp” family under development, including SCY-247 which is currently in clinical stages of development. In June 2021 and December 2022, we announced that the United States (U.S.) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved BREXAFEMME (ibrexafungerp tablets) for treatment of patients with vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), also known as vaginal yeast infection, and for the reduction in the incidence of recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC), respectively. Oral ibrexafungerp is also under development for other systemic fungal diseases.

MARIO Study and Clinical Hold Update

As previously disclosed, we and GlaxoSmithKline Intellectual Property (No. 3) Limited (GSK) entered into an exclusive license agreement dated March 30, 2023, which was subsequently amended by a binding memorandum of understanding dated December 26, 2023 (collectively, the GSK License Agreement).

As previously disclosed, the Phase 3 MARIO study of ibrexafungerp for the treatment of invasive candidiasis was placed on clinical hold in September 2023 following identification of a potential cross-contamination at the facility of the drug substance manufacturer in light of draft FDA guidance recommending that certain drugs be manufactured in separate facilities. One of these drugs, a non-antibiotic beta lactam drug called ezetimibe, was being manufactured at the same facility as ibrexafungerp. We have since moved the manufacture of ibrexafungerp to a new facility and have been working on generating new material with a goal of lifting the clinical hold and resuming the MARIO study. New clinical supplies to enable the re-start of the MARIO study have been manufactured and information supporting the use of these supplies to re-start clinical activities was provided to the FDA.

On April 24, 2025, the FDA notified us that the clinical hold on ibrexafungerp had been lifted and concluded that the Phase 3 MARIO study could resume. Subsequently, on April 28, 2025, GSK notified us of their intention to immediately terminate the study based on its purported rights under the GSK License Agreement to unilaterally terminate the MARIO study. GSK claimed that, as a result, it would have no obligations to pay any further development milestones related to the MARIO study, including $30.0 million tied to the resumption and continuation of the study. We do not believe that GSK currently has the right to unilaterally terminate the MARIO study under the GSK License Agreement.

Pursuant to the GSK License Agreement, we are responsible for conducting the MARIO study. The GSK License Agreement provides that certain material changes to the study, including termination, require mutual written agreement of both parties. We have not provided such agreement; in fact, GSK did not give any indication of an intent to terminate the MARIO study until the day it sent its notice. The GSK License Agreement only provides GSK with a unilateral termination right in the event that dosage of the first new patient in MARIO had not occurred by a particular date. The date was set as April 26, 2025, subject to automatic extension of up to two months if the implementation of additional in process control method validation

14


Table of Contents

 

was included in the amended IND or required by GSK, resulting in additional time in the manufacturing process. GSK has taken the position that the initial deadline was not extended. On the contrary, our position is that the triggering event for extension of the timeline for the maximum of two months clearly occurred since GSK required, and the amended IND includes, new in process control method validation that resulted in extension of the manufacturing process. Therefore, contrary to GSK’s notice, we believe that GSK does not have the unilateral right to terminate the MARIO study and we have thus informed GSK.

We are seeking to resolve this disagreement with GSK. Meanwhile, we are reinitiating the MARIO study, with the goal of dosing the first new patient by June 26, 2025, collecting its development milestones from GSK, and ultimately completing the study. While at this time it is too early to say how this disagreement may be resolved, GSK has reiterated its commitment to continued collaboration regarding other aspects of the GSK License Agreement including with respect to the commercialization of BREXAFEMME for the VVC and rVVC indications.

We remain committed to developing novel antifungal solutions to the rising threat of deadly fungal infections including invasive candidiasis for which there are limited treatment options and significant concerns for emergence of resistances, as highlighted by the WHO in their call to industry and other parties for research, development and public health action in this area of unmet need.

Class Action Lawsuit

On November 7, 2023, a securities class action was filed by Brian Feldman against us and certain of our executives in the United States District Court, District of New Jersey, alleging that, during the period from March 31, 2023 to September 22, 2023, we made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about our business, operations, and prospects, alleging specifically that we failed to disclose to investors: (1) that the equipment used to manufacture ibrexafungerp was also used to manufacture a non-antibacterial beta-lactam drug substance, presenting a risk of cross-contamination; (2) that we did not have effective internal controls and procedures, as well as adequate internal oversight policies to ensure that its vendor complied with current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP); (3) that, due to the substantial risk of cross-contamination, we were reasonably likely to recall its ibrexafungerp tablets and halt its clinical studies; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, our statements about our business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. The complaint seeks unspecified damages, interest, fees and costs on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased and/or acquired shares of our common stock between March 31, 2023 to September 22, 2023. We have filed a motion to dismiss. On May 1, 2024, and again on June 4, 2024, purported shareholder derivative complaints were filed in the United States District Court, District of New Jersey. The complaints name our directors and certain of our officers and assert state and federal claims based on the same alleged misstatements as the securities class action complaint. These cases seek unspecified damages, disgorgement, unspecified equitable relief, interest, fees and costs. The complaints have been consolidated and are currently stayed. We disagree with the allegations and we intend to defend these litigations vigorously.

Liquidity

We have operated as a public entity since we completed our initial public offering in May 2014, which we refer to as our IPO. We also completed a follow-on public offering of our common stock in April 2015 and public offerings of our common stock and warrants in June 2016, March 2018, December 2019, December 2020, and April 2022. Our principal source of liquidity is cash, cash equivalents, and investments which totaled $53.8 million as of March 31, 2025.

As of March 31, 2025, our accumulated deficit was $381.9 million. We expect we will continue to incur significant research and development expense as we continue to execute our research and drug development strategy. Consistent with our operating plan, we also expect that we will continue to incur significant selling, general and administrative expenses to support our public reporting company operations and ongoing operations. As a result, we will need additional capital to fund our operations, which we may obtain through one or more of equity offerings, debt financings, other non-dilutive third-party funding (e.g., grants), strategic alliances and licensing or collaboration arrangements. We may offer shares of our common stock pursuant to our effective shelf registration statements or our “at-the-market” offering program pursuant to the Controlled Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co.

Collaborations and Licensing Agreements

We are party to a number of licensing and collaboration agreements with partners in human health, including: (1) GSK, a pharmaceutical company, which we exclusively (even as to us and our affiliates) provide a, royalty-bearing, sublicensable license for the development, manufacture, and commercialization of ibrexafungerp, including the approved product BREXAFEMME, for all indications, in the GSK Territory; (2) Merck, a pharmaceutical company, under which we exclusively licensed the rights to ibrexafungerp in the field of human health, and agreed to pay Merck milestones upon the occurrence of specified events as well as tiered royalties based on worldwide sales of ibrexafungerp when and if it is approved (in 2014, Merck assigned to us the patents related to ibrexafungerp that it had exclusively licensed to us and, as contemplated by the agreement, we will continue to pay milestones and royalties); (3) Hansoh, a pharmaceutical company, which we have exclusively provided a license to research, develop and commercialize ibrexafungerp in the Greater China region, including

15


Table of Contents

 

mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan; Hansoh recently received Chinese approval for ibrexafungerp in VVC and we will receive a milestone upon commercialization as well as royalties of approximately 10%; (4) R-Pharm, CJSC, or "R-Pharm," a leading supplier of hospital drugs in Russia, granting R-Pharm exclusive rights in the field of human health to develop and commercialize ibrexafungerp in Russia and several non-core markets, under which we are entitled to receive potential milestones and royalties and reimbursement for certain development costs incurred by us (this agreement is not material to our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, or statements of cash flows); (5) Waterstone, an international pharmaceutical business, granting Waterstone exclusive worldwide rights to development and commercialization of SCY-635 for the treatment of viral diseases in humans, under which we are entitled to receive potential milestones and royalties; and (6) Cypralis Limited, or "Cypralis," a life sciences company, transferring to Cypralis certain cyclophilin inhibitor assets of ours, under which we are eligible to receive milestone payments upon the successful progression of certain Cypralis clinical candidates into later stage clinical studies and royalties payable upon product commercialization.

Components of Operating Results

Revenue

Revenue consists of license agreement revenue associated with GSK.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense consists of expenses incurred while performing research and development activities to discover, develop, or improve potential product candidates we seek to develop. This includes conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing and other development efforts, and activities related to regulatory filings for product candidates. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consists of:

costs related to executing preclinical and clinical trials, drug formulation, manufacturing and other development;
salaries and personnel-related costs, including benefits and any stock-based compensation, for personnel in research and development functions;
medical affairs related expense and salary that is incurred to discover, develop, or improve potential product candidates;
other costs in seeking regulatory approval of our products; and
allocated overhead.

Ibrexafungerp and SCY-247 were the only key research and development project during the periods presented. We expect to continue to incur significant research and development expense for the foreseeable future as we continue our effort to develop ibrexafungerp and SCY-247, and to potentially develop our other product candidates, subject to the availability of additional funding.

The successful development of product candidates is highly uncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or costs required to complete the remaining development of any product candidates. This is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of product candidates.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

Selling, general and administrative expense consists primarily of salaries and personnel-related costs, including employee benefits and any stock-based compensation. This includes personnel in executive, finance, human resources, business development, medical affairs, marketing and commercial, and administrative support functions. Other expenses include facility-related costs not otherwise allocated to research and development expense, professional fees for accounting, auditing, tax and legal services, consulting costs for general and administrative purposes, patent application and legal fees, information systems and marketing efforts.

Other Expense (Income)

All of our other expense (income) recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, consists of amortization of debt issuance costs and discount, interest income, interest expense, the warrant liability fair value adjustment, and the derivative liability fair value adjustment.

Income Tax Expense

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our income tax expense recognized consists primarily of an expense for U.S. federal income tax.

Revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and, 2024, revenue consists of $0.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in license agreement revenue associated with the GSK License Agreement.

Research and Development. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, research and development expenses decreased to $5.1 million compared to $7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease of $2.1 million, or 29%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was primarily driven by a decrease of $1.6 million in chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (CMC) expense, a decrease of $0.8 million in clinical expense, and a net decrease in other research and development expense of $0.1 million, offset in part by an increase of $0.4 million in preclinical expense.

The $1.6 million decrease in CMC expense is primarily associated with a $1.8 million decrease in expense associated with the manufacturing of drug product for SCY-247 and ibrexafungerp. The $0.8 million decrease in clinical expense was primarily due to a $0.6 million decrease in clinical expense for the FURI and CARES studies which were completed in the prior comparable period and a $0.1 million decrease in clinical expense associated with the Phase 3 MARIO study. The $0.4 million increase in preclinical expense was primarily associated with certain preclinical costs associated with the continued development of SCY-247.

Selling, General & Administrative. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, selling, general and administrative expenses remained consistent with the prior comparable period at $3.7 million. The increase of $0.1 million, or 2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was primarily driven by an increase of $0.3 million in business development expense and an increase of $0.2 million in salary expense, offset in part by a $0.4 million decrease in professional fees.

Amortization of Debt Issuance Costs and Discount. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized $0.3 million and $0.4 million in amortization of debt issuance costs and discount, respectively. The debt issuance costs and discount for our March 2019 convertible notes primarily consisted of an allocated portion of advisory fees and other issuance costs and the initial fair value of the derivative liability.

Interest Income. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized $0.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively, in interest income on our money market funds and investments.

Interest Expense. For both the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized $0.2 million in interest expense on our March 2019 convertible notes which were fully paid at maturity in March 2025.

Warrant Liabilities Fair Value Adjustment. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized gains of $2.9 million and $9.6 million, respectively, in the fair value adjustment related to the warrant liabilities primarily due to the decrease in our stock price during the periods.

Derivative Liability Fair Value Adjustment. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized a gain of $0.2 million in the fair value adjustment related to the derivative liability primarily due to the decrease in our stock price during the period.

Income Tax Expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our income tax expense recognized consists primarily of an expense for U.S. federal income tax.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents and investments of $53.8 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $75.1 million as of December 31, 2024. We believe our capital resources are sufficient to fund our on-going operations for a period of at least 12 months subsequent to the issuance of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2025, our accumulated deficit was $381.9 million.

Consistent with our operating plan, we expect to incur significant research and development expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses. As a result of our continued significant expenses, we may need additional capital to fund our operations, which we may obtain through one or more of equity offerings, debt financings, or other non-dilutive third-party funding, strategic alliances and licensing or collaboration arrangements.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities

The $3.5 million increase in net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to the continued development costs associated with SCY-247 and ibrexafungerp in the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Net cash used in operating activities of $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily consisted of the $5.4 million net loss adjusted for non-cash charges that included the gain on change in fair value of the warrant liability of $2.9 million, stock-based compensation expense of $0.8 million, and amortization of debt issuance costs and discount of $0.3 million, partially offset by a net unfavorable change in operating assets and liabilities of $0.2 million. The net unfavorable change in operating assets and liabilities of $0.2 million is due to a favorable change of $1.3 million due to the decrease in operating assets, offset by an unfavorable change of $1.5 million due to the decrease in operating liabilities The net $1.3 million decrease in operating assets is primarily due to a $0.5 million decrease in the license agreement receivable associated with the GSK License Agreement which was collected in the three months ended March 31, 2025, and a $0.7 million decrease in prepaid expenses, other assets, deferred costs, and other. The $0.7 million decrease in prepaid expenses, other assets, deferred costs, and other was primarily due to the $0.4 million decrease in prepaid research and development services that were recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2025 and a $0.4 million decrease in other current assets. The net unfavorable change of $1.5 million in operating liabilities is primarily due to the $1.2 million decrease in accrued expenses primarily due to the $1.3 million decrease in accrued bonus which was paid in the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Net cash used in operating activities of $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily consisted of the $0.4 million net income adjusted for non-cash charges that included the gain on change in fair value of the warrant liabilities of $9.6 million, stock-based compensation expense of $0.7 million, and amortization of debt issuance costs and discount of $0.4 million, partially offset by a net favorable change in operating assets and liabilities of $4.4 million. The net favorable change in operating assets and liabilities was due to a net decrease in operating liabilities of $1.9 million and by a net decrease of $6.3 million in operating assets. The net $6.3 million decrease in operating assets is primarily due to a $2.5 million decrease in the license agreement receivable associated with the License Agreement with GSK which was collected in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and a $4.0 million decrease in prepaid expenses, other assets, deferred costs, and other. The

18


Table of Contents

 

$4.0 million decrease in prepaid expenses, other assets, deferred costs, and other was primarily due to the collection of a $4.4 million unbilled receivable in the three months ended March 31, 2024 from GSK.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 consisted of the maturities of investments of $12.4 million.

Net cash provided by investing activities of $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 consisted of purchases and maturities of investments of $2.5 million and $8.0 million, respectively.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities of $14.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, consisted primarily of the $14.0 million repayment of the convertible debt in March 2025.

Net cash used in financing activities of $15,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, consisted primarily of deferred financing costs of $40,000.

Future Funding Requirements

We expect to incur expenses in connection with our efforts to further development activities, particularly as we continue the research, development and clinical trials of, and seek regulatory approval for, product candidates. We anticipate that we will need substantial additional funding in connection with our continuing future operations.

We are continually evaluating our operating plan and assessing the optimal cash utilization for our SCY-247 and ibrexafungerp development strategy. We have based our estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we may use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development and commercialization of product candidates, we are unable to estimate the amounts of increased capital outlays and operating expenses necessary to complete the development of product candidates.

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

our ability to successfully achieve the development, regulatory, and commercial milestones under our GSK License Agreement;
the progress, and costs, of the clinical development of SCY-247 and ibrexafungerp;
the outcome, costs and timing of seeking and obtaining FDA and any other regulatory approvals;
the ability of product candidates to progress through clinical development successfully;
our need to expand our research and development activities;
the costs associated with securing, establishing and maintaining commercialization and manufacturing capabilities;
our ability to maintain, expand and defend the scope of our intellectual property portfolio, including the amount and timing of any payments we may be required to make, or that we may receive, in connection with the licensing, filing, prosecution, defense and enforcement of any patents or other intellectual property rights;
our need and ability to hire additional management and scientific and medical personnel;
our need to implement additional, as well as to enhance existing, internal systems and infrastructure, including financial and reporting processes and systems and the associated compliance costs; and
the economic and other terms, timing and success of our existing licensing arrangements and any collaboration, licensing or other arrangements into which we may enter in the future.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of net proceeds from equity offerings, debt financings, or other non-dilutive third-party funding (e.g., grants), strategic alliances and licensing arrangements, in particular the GSK License Agreement. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interests of our common stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through sales of assets, other third-party funding, strategic alliances and licensing or collaboration arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.

Significant Estimates and Judgments

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. 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 that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our critical estimates and judgments are described within Item 7 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk.

This item is not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Management’s Evaluation of our Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") is (1) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of March 31, 2025, our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded based upon the evaluation described above that, as of March 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

On November 7, 2023, a securities class action was filed by Brian Feldman against us and certain of our executives in the United States District Court, District of New Jersey, alleging that, during the period from March 31, 2023 to September 22, 2023, we made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about our business, operations, and prospects, alleging specifically that we failed to disclose to investors: (1) that the equipment used to manufacture ibrexafungerp was also used to manufacture a non-antibacterial beta-lactam drug substance, presenting a risk of cross-contamination; (2) that we did not have effective internal controls and procedures, as well as adequate internal oversight policies to ensure that its vendor complied with current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP); (3) that, due to the substantial risk of cross-contamination, we were reasonably likely to recall its ibrexafungerp tablets and halt its clinical studies; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, our statements about our business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. The complaint seeks unspecified damages, interest, fees and costs on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased and/or acquired shares of our common stock between March 31, 2023 to September 22, 2023. We have filed a motion to dismiss. On May 1, 2024, and again on June 4, 2024, purported shareholder derivative complaints were filed in the United States District Court, District of New Jersey. The complaints name our directors and certain of our officers and assert state and federal claims based on the same alleged misstatements as the securities class action complaint. These cases seek unspecified damages, disgorgement, unspecified equitable relief, interest, fees and costs. The complaints have been consolidated and are currently stayed. We disagree with the allegations and we intend to defend these litigations vigorously.
