• Substantial Net Loss Reported

  The company reported a net loss of $242.0 million for the full year 2025, a significant increase from $63.6 million in 2024. This figure was previously reported in a concurrent 8-K filing.

• Going Concern Warning Issued

  Management indicated that the company's ability to continue as a going concern in the long-term is dependent on successfully securing additional financing.

• New At-The-Market (ATM) Offering Launched

  In March 2026, the company terminated its previous ATM program and entered into a new sales agreement with TD Cowen to issue and sell up to $50.0 million of common stock, providing a mechanism for future capital raises.

• Contingent PIPE Second Tranche

  A second tranche of the 2025 Private Investment in Public Equity (PIPE) offering, potentially yielding $95.1 million in gross proceeds, is contingent upon FDA IND clearance for SZN-8141 on or prior to October 31, 2026.

Surrozen's 2025 10-K provides comprehensive audited financial results, confirming the substantial net loss of $242.0 million for the full year, a figure previously reported in a concurrent 8-K filing. This loss, significantly higher than the prior year and far exceeding the company's market capitalization, underscores a critical financial situation. The company explicitly included "going concern" language, highlighting its dependence on future financing. To address this, Surrozen has launched a new $50.0 million At-The-Market (ATM) offering and has a contingent $95.1 million second tranche from a 2025 PIPE, both representing significant potential dilution. While a $5.0 million milestone payment from Boehringer Ingelheim for SZN-413 is a positive development, the discontinuation of the SZN-043 program and a patent challenge from Merck against a core SWAP platform patent introduce additional pipeline and intellectual property risks. Investors should closely monitor the company's ability to secure further funding and the outcome of the patent dispute, as these factors are crucial for its long-term viability.
