The controller’s read
What the filings say.
Generated from the numbers above using the same questions I ask when I open a client’s books: how long the cash lasts, what is driving the gap between loss and burn, and where the accounting judgment sits.
Get this read on your companyAbout 2.8 years of runway
Cash and investments of $1.00B at Q2 '26 against an average operating cash burn of $90.1M per quarter over the last four reported quarters runs out around March 2029. More than two years of runway means the finance conversation is about deployment, not survival.
Cash position down $700M since Q3 '24
Net financing inflows of $12.2M over the last four quarters, from equity, debt, or ATM sales, partly offset operating burn. The balance is the number the board watches; the trend is the number the auditors watch.
Net loss runs $43.4M above cash burn
The Q2 '26 net loss of $101M includes non-cash charges, including $15.9M of stock-based compensation, that do not consume cash. Burn, not net loss, is what runway is built on.
R&D is 65% of operating expenses
$101M of R&D against $155M of total operating expenses in Q2 '26, with G&A at $51.5M. For a clinical-stage company, the accounting questions live inside that R&D line: CRO and CMC accruals, milestone recognition, and what gets capitalized versus expensed under ASC 730.
Revenue of $44.7M in Q2 '26
Collaboration and license revenue under ASC 606 and ASC 808 is the single most judgment-heavy area in biotech accounting: performance obligations, variable consideration on milestones, and the split between revenue and cost-sharing.
Accumulated deficit of $762M
Total losses since inception. It is also roughly the size of the net operating loss carryforward the tax provision has to track, subject to Section 382 limits after each ownership change.
