Q2 Net Loss Widens to $67M
Net loss of $67.0 million, or $2.32 per share, compared to $37.3 million in Q2 2025. The increase was driven by a $32.1 million non-cash charge from fair value remeasurement of warrants and embedded derivatives.
-
Cash Runway Only Into September
Cash, cash equivalents, and investments totaled $65.4 million as of June 30, 2026. The company expects this to fund operations only into September 2026, with a $15.8 million principal payment due September 10, 2026 under its senior secured term loan.
-
Liquidity Covenant Breach Risk
If the September 10 payment is made without additional financing or a lender waiver, cash would fall below the $10.0 million minimum liquidity covenant, triggering an event of default.
-
Financing and Strategic Alternatives Underway
The company is working with Centerview Partners to evaluate financing opportunities and strategic alternatives to extend its cash runway and maximize shareholder value.
