We caution you that the foregoing list may not contain all the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects, business strategy, and financial needs. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2024 (the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K) and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These risks are not exhaustive. Other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include additional factors that could adversely impact our business and financial performance. Furthermore, new risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We cannot assure you that the results, events, and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur, and actual results, events, or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.

 

In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

 

The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate only to events as of the date on which such statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to conform such statements to actual results or revised expectations, except as required by law.

 

Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Teknova,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refer to Alpha Teknova, Inc.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting, Presentation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations.

The unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the audited annual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the related notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2024 (the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K). Refer to Notes to Financial Statements—Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” within the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a full list of the Company’s significant accounting policies. The information in those notes has not changed except as a result of normal adjustments in the interim period.

Teknova has determined that it operates in one reporting unit, one operating segment, and one reportable segment, as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) of the Company reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance.

Going Concern

Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern, requires management to evaluate an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve-month period following the date on which the financial statements are available for issuance. Management performed an assessment to determine whether there were conditions or events that, considered individually and in the aggregate, raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve-month period following the date on which the accompanying unaudited financial statements are being issued. This assessment indicated certain negative conditions and events, described further below, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had limited capital resources to fund ongoing operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, Teknova incurred net losses of $8.1 million. In addition, as of March 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $99.9 million and a total principal amount of outstanding borrowings of $12.1 million. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $31.8 million of working capital, which included $21.6 million in cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s available capital resources may not be sufficient for the Company to continue to meet its obligations as they become due over the next twelve months if the Company cannot improve its operating results or increase its operating cash inflows. If these capital resources are not sufficient,

the Company may need to raise additional capital through the sale of equity or debt securities, enter into strategic business collaboration agreements with other companies, seek other funding facilities, or sell assets. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to accomplish any of the foregoing or do so on favorable terms. If the Company is unable to meet its obligations when they become due over the next twelve months through its available capital resources, or obtain new sources of capital when needed, the Company may have to delay expenditures, reduce the scope of its manufacturing operations, reduce or eliminate one or more of its development programs, make significant changes to its operating plan, or cease its operations.

As disclosed in Note 10. Long-term Debt, Net, the Company is subject to certain financial covenants as set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement (defined in Note 10). These financial covenants include (i) a trailing twelve months minimum net revenue covenant that must be met each calendar month, and (ii) a requirement to maintain a minimum level of cash at all times through the term of the Amended Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants as of March 31, 2024; however, the Company continues to experience unfavorable market conditions, like other companies in the industry. As a result, the Company believes it may be unable to comply with the trailing twelve months revenue covenant for the twelve-month period following the date on which the financial statements are available for issuance. If the Company violates one or more of its covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement, including the monthly revenue covenant, and is not able to obtain a waiver from or agree to an accommodation with the lender with respect to any such violation, the Company could be required to pay all or a portion of the outstanding amount under the Term Loan (defined in Note 10). In that event, the Company may need to seek other sources of capital and there can be no assurances that the Company would be able to do so on acceptable terms.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for one year following the issuance of these unaudited financial statements. As such, the accompanying unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and their carrying amounts, or the amount and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Reduction in Workforce

On January 11, 2024, the Company carried out a reduction in workforce of approximately 35 positions, aimed at reducing operating expenses. The Company incurred $1.3 million of costs in connection with the reduction in workforce related to severance pay and other termination benefits. The costs associated with the reduction in workforce were recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2024, in general and administrative expenses.

On February 1, 2023, the Company carried out a reduction in workforce of approximately 40 positions, aimed at reducing operating expenses. The Company incurred $0.7 million of costs in connection with the reduction in workforce related to severance pay and other termination benefits. The costs associated with the reduction in workforce were recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2023, in general and administrative expenses.

Warrants

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (ASC 480) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. Additionally, all disclosure requirements under the guidance are also required for public entities with a single reportable segment. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.

10


 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disclosure in the rate reconciliation table additional categories of information about federal, state and foreign income taxes and to provide more details about the reconciliation items in some categories if the items meet a quantitative threshold. The guidance also requires disclosure of income taxes paid, net of refunds, disaggregated by federal (national), state and foreign taxes for annual periods and to disaggregate the information by jurisdiction based on a quantitative threshold. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.

Recent Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Final Rules Not Yet Adopted

In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules under SEC Release No. 33-11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors, which requires registrants to provide certain climate-related information in their registration statements and annual reports. The rules require information about a registrant’s climate-related risks that have materially impacted, or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on its business, results of operations, or financial condition. In addition, certain disclosures related to severe weather events and other natural conditions will be required in the registrant’s audited financial statements. Disclosure requirements will begin phasing in for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these new final rules on its financial statements and disclosures.

 

Note 3. Revenue Recognition

Teknova recognizes revenue from the sale of manufactured products and services when the Company transfers control of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Control is transferred when the customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain benefits from the goods or services. The majority of the Company’s sales agreements contain performance obligations satisfied at a point in time when control is transferred to the customer.

Capitalized interest is recorded as part of an asset’s cost and depreciated over the asset’s useful life. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, capitalized interest costs were zero and $0.6 million, respectively.

 

Note 7. Leases

The Company leases office space, warehouse and manufacturing space, and equipment. The Companys lease agreements have remaining lease terms of one year to 14 years, and some of these leases have renewal and termination options exercisable at the Company’s election. Terms and conditions to extend or terminate such leases are recognized as part of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities where reasonably certain to be exercised. All of the Companys leases are operating leases.

Note 10. Long-term Debt, Net

On March 8, 2024, the Company entered into limited waivers and amendments (collectively Amendment No. 5) to (i) the May 10, 2022, Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement (Term Loan), as amended on November 8, 2022, March 28, 2023, July 13, 2023, and September 19, 2023 and (ii) the May 10, 2022, Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement (Revolving Loan) as amended on November 8, 2022, March 28, 2023, July 13, 2023 and September 19, 2023 (together, the Amended Credit Agreement), in each case with the Company as borrower and with MidCap Financial Trust (MidCap) as agent and lender, and the additional lenders from time to time party thereto.

Amendment No. 5 modifies the credit facility established under the Amended Credit Agreement, which provided for a $57.1 million credit facility (the Credit Facility) consisting of a $52.1 million senior secured term loan (the Term Loan) and a $5.0 million working capital facility (the Revolver).

The interest on the Term Loan is based on the forward-looking one-month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate adjusted upward by 0.10% (Term SOFR) plus an applicable margin of 7.00%, subject to a Term SOFR floor of 4.50%. If any advance under the Term Loan is prepaid at any time, a prepayment fee is based on the amount being prepaid and an applicable percentage amount, such as 4%, 3%, or 1%, based on the date the prepayment is made. Interest on an outstanding balance of the Revolver is payable monthly in arrears at an annual rate of Term SOFR plus an applicable margin of 4.00%, subject to a Term SOFR floor of 4.50%.

The Amended Credit Agreement includes minimum net revenue requirements that are measured on a trailing twelve-month basis and a minimum cash requirement. Amendment No. 5 reduced the minimum net revenue requirements for future periods up to and including for the twelve months ending December 31, 2024—for example, the Company’s minimum net revenue requirement was reduced for the twelve months ending December 31, 2024, from $42.0 million to $34.0 million. Amendment No. 5 also removed those requirements for the periods ending January 31, 2025 through December 31, 2025, instead requiring that for each applicable twelve-month period ending after December 31, 2024, the Company’s minimum net revenue requirement will be determined by MidCap in its reasonable discretion in consultation with the Company’s senior management and based on financial statements and projections delivered to MidCap in accordance with the financial reporting requirements in the Amended Credit Agreement, so long as the minimum net revenue requirements for those periods shall not be less than the greater of (x) the applicable minimum net revenue requirement for the twelve-month period ending on the last day of the immediately preceding month and (y) $34.0 million. In addition, Amendment No. 5 also removed the advance rate for finished goods inventory in the determination of the borrowing base for the Revolving Loan and increased the minimum cash requirement from $9.0 million to $10.0 million. Finally, Amendment No. 5 conditions the next borrowing under the Revolving Loan on the Company achieving net revenue for the preceding twelve-month period of at least $38.0 million down from $45.0 million. As a condition to the effectiveness of Amendment No. 5, the Company also issued equity-classified warrants with a fair value of $0.1 million as described further in Note 11, Stockholder’s Equity. These warrants were recorded as additional debt issuance costs, which are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Amended Credit Agreement using the effective interest method.

The maturity date of the Credit Facility is May 1, 2027. On the date of termination of the Term Loan or the date on which the obligations under the Term Loan become due and payable in full, the Company will pay an exit fee in an amount equal to 9.00% of the total aggregate principal amount of term loans made pursuant to the Term Loan (including amendments thereto) as of such date. All loans issued under the Credit Facility are collateralized by the Company’s assets.

Note 11. Stockholders’ Equity

At-the-Market Facility

On March 30, 2023, the Company entered into a sales agreement (the ATM Facility) with Cowen and Company, LLC (Cowen), under which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, shares of its common stock having aggregate gross proceeds of up to $50.0 million. The issuance and sale of these shares pursuant to the ATM Facility are deemed “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and are registered under the Securities Act. The Company will pay a commission of up to 3.0% of gross sales proceeds of any common stock sold under the ATM Facility. The aggregate market value of shares eligible for sale under the ATM Facility will be subject to the limitations of General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, to the extent required under such instruction.

Warrants to Purchase Common Stock

On March 8, 2024, as a condition to the effectiveness of Amendment No. 5, the Company issued to MidCap Funding XXVII a warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 125,000 shares (the Common Warrant) of common stock with an exercise price of $2.9934 per share, subject to adjustment as provided therein. The Common Warrant is exercisable immediately, and will expire on the earlier to occur of the (i) expiration of the Common Warrant pursuant to Section 1.6 thereof, or (ii) tenth (10th) anniversary of the Issue Date (as defined therein). The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Common Warrant will be subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, or similar transaction, as described in the Common Warrant. MidCap may exercise the Common Warrant for cash or by means of a “cashless exercise.”

The Company determined that the Common Warrant is not a liability within the scope of ASC 480, but met the requirements to be classified within stockholders’ equity, because the warrant is indexed to the Company’s own stock and met all of the conditions for equity classification in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, the warrants were recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital in the statements of stockholders’ equity at the time of issuance. The Common Warrant was valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: i) fair value of common stock of $2.8500, ii) exercise price of $2.9934, iii) term of 5 years, iv) dividend rate of 0%, v) volatility of 36.70%, and vi) risk free interest rate of 4.06%.

 

Note 12. Stock-Based Compensation

Equity Incentive Plans

The Company maintains a stock incentive plan, that permits the granting of incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance awards, and other stock-based awards. The equity-based awards for employees will generally vest over a four-year period, pursuant to two different vesting schedules. For initial equity-based awards granted to employees, the first vest is generally a one-year cliff vest, followed by monthly vesting for the final three years. Thereafter, annual equity-based awards granted to employees typically vest monthly over the four-year vest term. The initial equity-based awards granted to the Company’s non-employee, independent directors upon appointment to the board of directors will vest over a three-year period, with the first vest being a one-year cliff, followed by monthly vesting over the remaining two years. Thereafter, annual equity-based awards granted to the Company’s non-employee, independent directors will cliff vest after one year from the date of grant.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company also maintains an employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) that authorizes the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to purchase rights granted to eligible employees. Unless otherwise determined by the Company’s board of directors, shares of the Company’s common stock will be purchased for the accounts of employees participating in the Company’s ESPP at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) 85% of the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the first day of an offering; or (ii) 85% of the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of purchase. Offering periods are generally six months long; offering periods begin on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The Company issued zero shares of common stock under the ESPP during each of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024.

Repricing of Outstanding and Unexercised Options

In January 2024, the Company’s board of directors approved a one-time repricing of certain previously granted and still outstanding vested and unvested stock option awards held by eligible employees, executive officers, and non-employee directors. As a result, the exercise price for these awards will be lowered to $2.97 per share, which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Stock Market on March 14, 2024, so long as the holder remains employed by the Company or continues to serve as a member of the board of directors through September 14, 2025 absent earlier trigger events defined in the option repricing plan. No other terms of the stock options were modified, and the stock options will continue to vest according to their original vesting schedules and will retain their original expiration dates. As a result of the repricing, 1,631,016 vested and unvested stock options outstanding as of March 14, 2024, with original exercise prices ranging from $3.02 to $27.49, were repriced.

The repricing on March 14, 2024 resulted in incremental stock-based compensation expense of $0.9 million, of which $0.5 million related to vested stock option awards and was expensed on the repricing date. The remaining $0.4 million related to unvested stock option awards and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the weighted-average vesting period of those awards of approximately 2.38 years as of March 14, 2024.

Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options was $1.2 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options was $5.5 million at March 31, 2024, which is expected to be recognized as expense over the weighted-average period of 3.20 years.

Stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units was $0.1 million in each of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock units was $0.4 million at March 31, 2024, which is expected to be recognized as expense over the weighted-average period of 1.93 years.

Stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP was not significant in either of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Total compensation cost related to the ESPP not yet recognized was not significant at March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, $0.1 million has been withheld on behalf of employees for future purchases under the ESPP.

 

Note 13. Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 the Company's income tax benefit was not significant, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, when the Company also recorded a minimal income tax benefit. The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were 0.4% and 0.2%, respectively. The effective tax rates differ from the federal statutory rate primarily due to operating losses not expected to produce an income tax benefit.

The Company had insignificant unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. The Company does not expect the balance of unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly over the next twelve months. The Company has not accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

Note 14. Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents to the extent they are dilutive. For purposes of this calculation, stock options, restricted stock units, employee stock purchase rights, and warrants to purchase common stock, are considered to be common stock equivalents but have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive for all periods presented.

Note 15. Related Parties

The Company has identified Meeches LLC (Meeches) as a related party through common control. Meeches is controlled by Ted Davis and Irene Davis, founders and current directors, and greater than five percent stockholders of the Company. Prior to May 16, 2023, the Company leased certain real property in Mansfield, Massachusetts, from Meeches. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company paid Meeches lease payments of zero and $0.1 million, respectively.

 

Note 16. Contingencies

From time to time, we may become involved in lawsuits and other claims arising from our ordinary course of business. The Company regularly evaluates its exposure to threatened or pending litigation and other business contingencies. Because of the uncertainties related to the amount of loss from litigation and other business contingencies, the recording of losses relating to such exposures requires significant judgment about the potential range of outcomes. We establish loss provisions for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. If a loss is not both probable and reasonably estimable, or if an exposure to loss exists in excess of the amount accrued, the Company assesses whether there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional loss, may have been incurred. If there is a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional loss, may have been incurred, the Company will disclose the estimate of the possible loss or range of loss if it is material and an estimate can be made, or disclose that such an estimate cannot be made. The determination as to whether a loss can reasonably be considered to be possible or probable is based on our assessment, together with legal counsel, regarding the ultimate outcome of the matter. As additional information about current or future litigation or other contingencies becomes available, the Company will assess whether adjustments should be made to legal accruals.

In August 2023, a former Teknova employee filed a claim with the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency alleging various causes of action under California’s labor, wage, and hour laws. The plaintiff generally alleges that Teknova did not appropriately calculate and pay meal break premiums and otherwise failed to calculate and pay appropriate overtime wages or bonuses to certain of its California non-exempt employees. A mediation has been scheduled for June 6, 2024. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has accrued its best estimate of potential loss related to a possible settlement of the claims of the former employee and other employees who may assert similar claims, in the amount of $0.3 million, which is included within “Accrued liabilities” on the Balance Sheet. The actual loss attributable to the final resolution of this and related claims could differ materially from the Company’s present best estimate.

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

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited condensed financial statements and related notes thereto included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K) filed on March 27, 2024, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). For a discussion of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should review the risk factors identified in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Item 1A, Risk Factors, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

As in Item 1. of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in this Item 2, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Teknova,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Alpha Teknova, Inc.

Overview

Since our founding in 1996, we have been producing critical reagents for the discovery, development, and commercialization of novel therapies, vaccines, and molecular diagnostics. Our more than 2,500 active customers span the entire continuum of the life sciences market, including leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, contract development and manufacturing organizations, in vitro diagnostics franchises, and academic and government research institutions. Our Company is built around our knowledge, methods, and know-how in our proprietary manufacturing processes, which are highly adaptable and configurable. These proprietary processes enable us to manufacture and deliver high-quality, custom, made-to-order products with short turnaround times and at scale, across all stages of our customers’ product development, from early research through commercialization.

We have two primary product categories: Lab Essentials and Clinical Solutions. We offer three primary product types: (i) pre-poured media plates for cell growth and cloning; (ii) liquid cell culture media and supplements for cellular expansion; and (iii) molecular biology reagents for sample manipulation, resuspension, and purification. Our liquid cell culture media and supplements and molecular biology reagents are available in both of our two product categories; pre-poured media plates are available in our Lab Essentials category only.

We are ISO 13485:2016 certified, enabling us to manufacture products for use in diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Our certification allows us to offer solutions across the entire customer product development workflow, supporting our customers need for materials in greater volume and that meet increasingly stringent quality requirements as they scale from research to commercialization.

We manufacture our products at our Hollister, California, headquarters and stock inventory of raw materials, components, and finished goods at that campus. We rely on a limited number of suppliers for certain raw materials, and we have no long-term supply arrangements with our suppliers, as we order on a purchase order basis. We ship our products directly from our warehouse in Hollister, California, to our customers and distributors, generally pursuant to purchase orders. We typically recognize revenue when products are shipped.

We generated revenue of $9.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, which represents an increase of $0.2 million compared to revenue of $9.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, only 4.5% and 4.3%, respectively, of our revenue was generated from customers located outside of the United States. Our sales outside of the United States are denominated in U.S. Dollars.

We had an operating loss of $8.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to an operating loss of $8.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023. While our expenses may fluctuate over the short term, we expect our expenses will continue to increase in future periods, but at a slower rate, in connection with our ongoing activities as we:

attract, hire, and retain qualified personnel;
invest in processes and infrastructure to enable manufacturing automation and expand capacity, including the ramp up of our new, state-of-the-art manufacturing, warehouse, and distribution facilities; and
build our brand and market, and sell our products and services.

Impact of Broader Economic Trends on Our Business

We are closely monitoring economic uncertainty in the U.S. and abroad. General inflation in the U.S. has risen to levels not experienced in recent decades. General inflation, including rising prices for our raw materials and other inputs, as well as rising salaries and other expenses, negatively impact our business by increasing our cost of sales and operating expenses. In addition, the

19


 

U.S. Federal Reserve has raised, and may again raise, interest rates in response to concerns about inflation. Inflation, together with increased interest rates, may cause our customers to reduce, delay, or cancel orders for our goods and services, thereby causing a decrease in or change in timing of sales of our products and services. We cannot predict the impact of future inflation and interest rate increases on the results of our operations. For further information regarding the impact of these economic factors on the Company, please see the risk factors identified in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Total revenue was $9.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and $9.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Lab Essentials revenue was $7.3 million in each of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Lab Essentials revenue was consistent as the slight increase in number of customers, was offset by a similar decline in average revenue per customer.

Clinical Solutions revenue was $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $0.1 million, or 6.8%, compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in Clinical Solutions revenue was attributable to an increased number of customers, partially offset by lower average revenue per customer.

Gross profit percentage was 23.8% and 26.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in gross profit percentage was primarily driven by increased overhead costs, largely depreciation expense following the completion of our new manufacturing facility in the prior year, partially offset by reduced headcount.

Research and development expenses were $0.9 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease was primarily driven by reduced headcount and supplies expense.

Sales and marketing expenses were $1.7 million and $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease was primarily driven by reduced headcount.

General and administrative expenses were $7.4 million in each of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Excluding the one-time, non-recurring charges related to the reduction in workforce of $1.3 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.5 million. The decrease was driven by reduced headcount, partially offset by increased stock-based compensation expense related to the stock option repricing. See “Notes to Financial Statements—Note 12. Stock-Based Compensation” for a more detailed discussion of the stock option repricing.

Amortization of intangible assets was consistent at $0.3 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Total other expenses, net was $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to total other income, net of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in total other expenses, net was attributable to higher interest expense driven by higher interest rates despite a lower debt balance outstanding as well as lower amounts of interest capitalized, partially offset by higher interest income due to higher interest rates earned on short-term liquid investments. Capitalized interest costs were zero and $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Our benefit from income taxes was not significant in either of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were 0.4% and 0.2%, respectively. The effective tax rates differ from the federal statutory rate primarily due to operating losses not expected to produce an income tax benefit.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The primary sources of financing for our operations were our (i) initial public offering, which we completed in June 2021 (IPO) and resulted in net proceeds to us of $99.1 million, and (ii) registered direct offering and concurrent private placement (collectively, the Offerings), which we completed in September 2023 and which resulted in aggregate gross proceeds of $22.9 million before deducting offering expenses of $0.4 million and the prepayment of $10.0 million owed under the Term Loan as discussed below.

To facilitate our expected growth, we have used our sources of liquidity to make investments to expand our operations and increase capacity, and may continue to do so in the future. In particular, we have completed the build out of our new manufacturing facility and have made improvements to our warehouse and distribution facilities, all located in Hollister, California.

Our principal liquidity requirements are to fund our operations and capital expenditures. As of March 31, 2024, we have limited capital resources to fund ongoing operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we incurred net losses of $8.1 million . In addition, as of March 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $99.9 million and borrowings outstanding under our Term Loan (defined below). As of March 31, 2024, we had $31.8 million of working capital, which included $21.6 million in cash and cash equivalents. Our available capital resources may not be sufficient for us to continue to meet our obligations as they become due over the next twelve months if we cannot improve our operating results or increase our operating cash inflows. If these capital resources are not sufficient, we may need to raise additional capital through the sale of equity or debt securities, enter into strategic business collaboration agreements with other companies, seek other funding sources, or sell assets. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to accomplish any of the foregoing or do so on favorable terms. If we are unable to meet our obligations when they become due over the next twelve months through our available capital resources, or obtain new sources of capital when needed, we may have to delay expenditures, reduce the scope of our manufacturing operations, reduce or eliminate one or more of our development programs, make significant changes to our operating plan, or cease our operations.

As of March 31, 2024, we had an outstanding principal amount of $12.1 million under a senior secured term loan (the Term Loan) pursuant to Amendment No. 5 to our Credit Agreement with MidCap Financial Trust (MidCap). On March 8, 2024, we entered into limited waivers and amendments (collectively Amendment No. 5, or, as amended, the Amended Credit Agreement) which includes a waiver from MidCap of the revenue covenant violations for each of the periods ending November 30, 2023 and January 31, 2024. Amendment No. 5 also reduced the revenue covenants for future periods up to and including for the twelve months ending

22


 

December 31, 2024, from $42.0 million to $34.0 million. Amendment No. 5 also removed those requirements for the periods ending January 31, 2025 through December 31, 2025, instead requiring that for each applicable twelve-month period ending after December 31, 2024, the Company’s minimum net revenue requirement will be determined by MidCap in its reasonable discretion in consultation with the Company’s senior management and based on financial statements and projections delivered to MidCap in accordance with the financial reporting requirements in the Amended Credit Agreement, so long as the minimum net revenue requirements for those periods shall not be less than the greater of (x) the applicable minimum net revenue requirement for the twelve-month period ending on the last day of the immediately preceding month and (y) $34.0 million. In addition, Amendment No. 5 also removed the advance rate for finished goods inventory in the determination of the borrowing base for the Revolving Loan and increased the minimum cash requirement from $9.0 million to $10.0 million. Finally, Amendment No. 5 conditions the next borrowing under the Revolving Loan on the Company achieving net revenue for the preceding twelve-month period of at least $38.0 million down from $45.0 million.

We were in compliance with our financial covenants under the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2024. However, we continue to experience unfavorable market conditions, like other companies in our industry. As a result, we believe we may be unable to comply with the trailing twelve months revenue covenant for the twelve-month period following the date on which the financial statements are available for issuance. If we violate one or more of our covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement, including the monthly revenue covenant, and are not able to obtain a waiver from or agree to an accommodation with the lender with respect to any such violation, we could be required to pay all or a portion of the outstanding amount under the Term Loan. In that event, we may need to seek other sources of capital and there can be no assurances that we would be able to do so on acceptable terms. See “Notes to Financial Statements—Note 10—Debt, Net,” for a more detailed discussion of the material terms of our Amended Credit Agreement.

We also have an ATM Facility under which we may offer and sell, from time to time, shares of our common stock having aggregate gross proceeds of up to $50.0 million. We will pay a commission of up to 3.0% of gross sales proceeds of any common stock sold under the ATM Facility. The aggregate market value of shares eligible for sale under the ATM Facility will be subject to the limitations of General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, to the extent required under such instruction. See “Notes to Financial Statements—Note 11—Stockholder’s Equity,” for a more detailed discussion of the material terms of our ATM Facility.

As of March 31, 2024, our material cash requirements from known contractual obligations and commitments relate primarily to operating leases for our office, manufacturing, warehouse, and distribution facilities. See “Notes to Financial Statements—Note 7—Leases,” for a discussion of our lease obligations reflected on our balance sheet.

Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern, requires us to evaluate our ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve-month period following the date on which the financial statements are available for issuance. We performed an assessment to determine whether there were conditions or events that, considered individually and in the aggregate, raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve-month period following the date on which our financial statements are being issued. This assessment indicated certain negative conditions and events, described further above related to our availability of capital resources and ability to meet the monthly revenue covenant under our Amended Credit Agreement, that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for one year following the issuance of these unaudited financial statements. As such, the accompanying unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and their carrying amounts, or the amount and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities consists primarily of net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items (including depreciation and amortization, bad debt expense, deferred taxes, loss on disposal of property, plant, and equipment, inventory reserve, amortization of debt issuance costs, and stock-based compensation expense), and the effect of changes in working capital and other activities.

Net cash used in operating activities was $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, which primarily consisted of net loss of $8.1 million plus net adjustments for non-cash charges of $3.0 million, offset by net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $1.5 million. The primary non-cash adjustments to net loss included $1.6 million of depreciation and amortization and $1.3 million of stock-based compensation. The main drivers of the changes in operating assets and liabilities were a $1.7 million decrease in accrued liabilities, a $0.6 million increase in accounts receivable, partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in inventories, a $0.2 million decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets, a $0.1 million increase in accounts payable, and a $0.1 million decrease other non-current assets.

Net cash used in operating activities was $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, which primarily consisted of net loss of $8.8 million plus net adjustments for non-cash charges of $2.1 million, offset by net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $1.0 million. The primary non-cash adjustments to net loss included $1.1 million of depreciation and amortization and $1.0 million of stock-based compensation. The main drivers of the changes in operating assets and liabilities were a $0.7 million decrease in accrued liabilities, a $0.5 million increase in accounts receivable, a $0.4 million decrease in accounts payable, partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets, a $0.2 million decrease in inventories, and a $0.1 million decrease in other non-current assets.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was not significant for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as proceeds from the sale of certain long-lived assets of $0.1 million were partially offset by purchases of property, plant, and equipment of $0.1 million.

Net cash used in investing activities was $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, which consisted of purchases of property, plant, and equipment.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, which primarily consisted of repayments of financed insurance premiums.

Net cash used in financing activities was not significant for the three months ended March 31, 2023.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

For a discussion of our critical accounting estimates, refer to "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition" in Part II, Item 7 and the notes to our financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. See also Note 2, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our condensed financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates since our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. As long as we qualify as an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements and other burdens that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include, but are not limited to:

reduced obligations with respect to financial data, including presenting only two years of audited financial statements;
an exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements in our periodic reports, proxy statements, and registration statements; and
exemptions from the requirements of holding non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements.

24


 

In addition, under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of this exemption from adopting new or revised accounting standards, and, therefore, we will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies or that have opted out of using such extended transition period, which may make comparison of our financial statements with those of other public companies more difficult. We may take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, or, with respect to adoption of certain new or revised accounting standards, until we irrevocably elect to opt out of using the extended transition period.

Under the JOBS Act, we will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of:

the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1.235 billion or more;
the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the closing of our IPO;
the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; and
the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) (i.e., the first day of the fiscal year after we have (i) more than $700.0 million in outstanding common equity held by our non-affiliates, measured each year on the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and (ii) been public for at least 12 months).

We are also a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company even after we are no longer an emerging growth company. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies until the fiscal year following the determination that (i) the market value of our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $250.0 million measured on the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and our annual revenues are more than $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year or (ii) the market value of our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $700.0 million measured on the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

A description of recent accounting pronouncements that may potentially impact our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows is disclosed in Note 2, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our condensed financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act for this reporting period and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2024, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

25


 

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are not a party to any material legal proceedings at this time. From time to time, we may become involved in various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. For example, we may in the future become involved in legal proceedings relating to customers, employees, suppliers, competitors, government agencies, or others. We will evaluate any claims and lawsuits with respect to their potential merits, our potential defenses and counter claims, and the expected effect on us of defending the claims and a potential adverse result. However, the results of any litigation, investigation, or other legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable and potentially expensive. Any claims against us, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, damage our reputation, require significant amounts of management time, and divert significant resources. If any legal proceedings were to be determined adversely to us, or we were to enter into a settlement arrangement, we could be exposed to monetary damages or limits on our ability to operate our business, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results. Information pertaining to loss contingencies, including those arising out of potential legal liabilities and related matters, are described Note 16, Contingencies, to our condensed financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

While we attempt to identify, manage, and mitigate risks and uncertainties associated with our business to the extent practical under the circumstances, some level of risk and uncertainty will always be present. Item 1A—“Risk Factors” in the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K describes some of the risks and uncertainties associated with our business, which we strongly encourage you to review. These risks and uncertainties have the potential to materially affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, projected results, and future prospects. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We have incurred operating losses in the past and may incur losses in the future.

We have incurred operating losses in the past, may incur operating losses in the future and may never achieve or maintain profitability. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we incurred net losses of $8.1 million and $8.8 million, respectively. We have incurred and will continue to incur costs in connection with legal, accounting, and other administrative expenses related to operating as a public company and we expect that our operating expenses will increase modestly with the growth of our business. Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through revenue from our products, the sale of our equity securities (including through our June 2021 IPO and September 2023 registered direct offering, and private placements), and debt. While our revenue has generally grown over the last several years, it decreased in 2023 compared to 2022. If our revenue continues to decline or fails to grow at a rate sufficient to offset our operating expenses, we will not be able to achieve and maintain profitability in future periods. We may never be able to generate sufficient revenue to achieve or maintain profitability, and our more recent growth and historical profitability should not be considered predictive of our future performance.

A significant portion of our total outstanding shares of common stock are available for immediate resale and may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares of common stock intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our common stock. All shares sold in our IPO were freely tradable upon such sale without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, except for any shares held by our affiliates, as that term is defined under Rule 144 of the Securities Act (Rule 144), including our directors, executive officers, and other affiliates (including Telegraph Hill Partners), which may be sold only in compliance with certain limitations. The shares of our common stock issued in the course of our September 2023 registered direct offering and private placements are now also freely tradable, subject to the same limitations applicable to our directors, executive officers, and other affiliates (including Telegraph Hill Partners).

As of March 31, 2024, we have 40,823,387 shares of common stock outstanding, substantially all of which are held by directors, executive officers, and other affiliates and will be subject to volume, manner of sale, and other limitations under Rule 144. Registration of any of these outstanding shares of common stock would result in such shares becoming freely tradable without compliance with Rule 144 upon effectiveness of the registration statement.

The market price of our stock could decline if the holders of currently restricted shares of common stock sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to raise additional funds through future offerings of our shares of common stock or other securities. In addition, shares of our common stock that are issued pursuant to our equity incentive plans and our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) will become eligible for sale in the public market, subject to provisions relating to various vesting agreements, lock-up agreements, and Rule 144, as applicable.

As of March 31, 2024, there were 312,174, 1,588,076 and 2,575,190 shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding stock option awards under the 2016 Stock Plan, as amended (2016 Plan), the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (2020 Plan) and the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (2021 Plan), respectively. In addition, the 2021 Plan and the ESPP provide for annual automatic increases in the number of shares reserved thereunder. As of January 1, 2024, a total of 4,825,264 and 976,045 shares of common stock were available and have been reserved for future issuance under the 2021 Plan and our ESPP, respectively. In the future, we may also issue our securities in connection with investments or acquisitions. The amount of shares of our common stock issued in connection with an investment or acquisition could constitute a material portion of our then-outstanding shares of our common stock. Any issuance of additional securities in connection with investments or acquisitions may result in additional dilution to you.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting, Presentation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations.

The unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the audited annual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the related notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2024 (the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K). Refer to Notes to Financial Statements—Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” within the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a full list of the Company’s significant accounting policies. The information in those notes has not changed except as a result of normal adjustments in the interim period.

Teknova has determined that it operates in one reporting unit, one operating segment, and one reportable segment, as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) of the Company reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance.

Going Concern

Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern, requires management to evaluate an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve-month period following the date on which the financial statements are available for issuance. Management performed an assessment to determine whether there were conditions or events that, considered individually and in the aggregate, raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve-month period following the date on which the accompanying unaudited financial statements are being issued. This assessment indicated certain negative conditions and events, described further below, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had limited capital resources to fund ongoing operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, Teknova incurred net losses of $8.1 million. In addition, as of March 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $99.9 million and a total principal amount of outstanding borrowings of $12.1 million. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $31.8 million of working capital, which included $21.6 million in cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s available capital resources may not be sufficient for the Company to continue to meet its obligations as they become due over the next twelve months if the Company cannot improve its operating results or increase its operating cash inflows. If these capital resources are not sufficient,

the Company may need to raise additional capital through the sale of equity or debt securities, enter into strategic business collaboration agreements with other companies, seek other funding facilities, or sell assets. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to accomplish any of the foregoing or do so on favorable terms. If the Company is unable to meet its obligations when they become due over the next twelve months through its available capital resources, or obtain new sources of capital when needed, the Company may have to delay expenditures, reduce the scope of its manufacturing operations, reduce or eliminate one or more of its development programs, make significant changes to its operating plan, or cease its operations.

As disclosed in Note 10. Long-term Debt, Net, the Company is subject to certain financial covenants as set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement (defined in Note 10). These financial covenants include (i) a trailing twelve months minimum net revenue covenant that must be met each calendar month, and (ii) a requirement to maintain a minimum level of cash at all times through the term of the Amended Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants as of March 31, 2024; however, the Company continues to experience unfavorable market conditions, like other companies in the industry. As a result, the Company believes it may be unable to comply with the trailing twelve months revenue covenant for the twelve-month period following the date on which the financial statements are available for issuance. If the Company violates one or more of its covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement, including the monthly revenue covenant, and is not able to obtain a waiver from or agree to an accommodation with the lender with respect to any such violation, the Company could be required to pay all or a portion of the outstanding amount under the Term Loan (defined in Note 10). In that event, the Company may need to seek other sources of capital and there can be no assurances that the Company would be able to do so on acceptable terms.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for one year following the issuance of these unaudited financial statements. As such, the accompanying unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and their carrying amounts, or the amount and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Reduction in Workforce

On January 11, 2024, the Company carried out a reduction in workforce of approximately 35 positions, aimed at reducing operating expenses. The Company incurred $1.3 million of costs in connection with the reduction in workforce related to severance pay and other termination benefits. The costs associated with the reduction in workforce were recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2024, in general and administrative expenses.

On February 1, 2023, the Company carried out a reduction in workforce of approximately 40 positions, aimed at reducing operating expenses. The Company incurred $0.7 million of costs in connection with the reduction in workforce related to severance pay and other termination benefits. The costs associated with the reduction in workforce were recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2023, in general and administrative expenses.

Warrants

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (ASC 480) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. Additionally, all disclosure requirements under the guidance are also required for public entities with a single reportable segment. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disclosure in the rate reconciliation table additional categories of information about federal, state and foreign income taxes and to provide more details about the reconciliation items in some categories if the items meet a quantitative threshold. The guidance also requires disclosure of income taxes paid, net of refunds, disaggregated by federal (national), state and foreign taxes for annual periods and to disaggregate the information by jurisdiction based on a quantitative threshold. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.

Recent Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Final Rules Not Yet Adopted

In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules under SEC Release No. 33-11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors, which requires registrants to provide certain climate-related information in their registration statements and annual reports. The rules require information about a registrant’s climate-related risks that have materially impacted, or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on its business, results of operations, or financial condition. In addition, certain disclosures related to severe weather events and other natural conditions will be required in the registrant’s audited financial statements. Disclosure requirements will begin phasing in for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these new final rules on its financial statements and disclosures.

Note 3. Revenue Recognition

Teknova recognizes revenue from the sale of manufactured products and services when the Company transfers control of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Control is transferred when the customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain benefits from the goods or services. The majority of the Company’s sales agreements contain performance obligations satisfied at a point in time when control is transferred to the customer.

Long-Term Debt, Net

Note 10. Long-term Debt, Net

On March 8, 2024, the Company entered into limited waivers and amendments (collectively Amendment No. 5) to (i) the May 10, 2022, Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement (Term Loan), as amended on November 8, 2022, March 28, 2023, July 13, 2023, and September 19, 2023 and (ii) the May 10, 2022, Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement (Revolving Loan) as amended on November 8, 2022, March 28, 2023, July 13, 2023 and September 19, 2023 (together, the Amended Credit Agreement), in each case with the Company as borrower and with MidCap Financial Trust (MidCap) as agent and lender, and the additional lenders from time to time party thereto.

Amendment No. 5 modifies the credit facility established under the Amended Credit Agreement, which provided for a $57.1 million credit facility (the Credit Facility) consisting of a $52.1 million senior secured term loan (the Term Loan) and a $5.0 million working capital facility (the Revolver).

The interest on the Term Loan is based on the forward-looking one-month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate adjusted upward by 0.10% (Term SOFR) plus an applicable margin of 7.00%, subject to a Term SOFR floor of 4.50%. If any advance under the Term Loan is prepaid at any time, a prepayment fee is based on the amount being prepaid and an applicable percentage amount, such as 4%, 3%, or 1%, based on the date the prepayment is made. Interest on an outstanding balance of the Revolver is payable monthly in arrears at an annual rate of Term SOFR plus an applicable margin of 4.00%, subject to a Term SOFR floor of 4.50%.

The Amended Credit Agreement includes minimum net revenue requirements that are measured on a trailing twelve-month basis and a minimum cash requirement. Amendment No. 5 reduced the minimum net revenue requirements for future periods up to and including for the twelve months ending December 31, 2024—for example, the Company’s minimum net revenue requirement was reduced for the twelve months ending December 31, 2024, from $42.0 million to $34.0 million. Amendment No. 5 also removed those requirements for the periods ending January 31, 2025 through December 31, 2025, instead requiring that for each applicable twelve-month period ending after December 31, 2024, the Company’s minimum net revenue requirement will be determined by MidCap in its reasonable discretion in consultation with the Company’s senior management and based on financial statements and projections delivered to MidCap in accordance with the financial reporting requirements in the Amended Credit Agreement, so long as the minimum net revenue requirements for those periods shall not be less than the greater of (x) the applicable minimum net revenue requirement for the twelve-month period ending on the last day of the immediately preceding month and (y) $34.0 million. In addition, Amendment No. 5 also removed the advance rate for finished goods inventory in the determination of the borrowing base for the Revolving Loan and increased the minimum cash requirement from $9.0 million to $10.0 million. Finally, Amendment No. 5 conditions the next borrowing under the Revolving Loan on the Company achieving net revenue for the preceding twelve-month period of at least $38.0 million down from $45.0 million. As a condition to the effectiveness of Amendment No. 5, the Company also issued equity-classified warrants with a fair value of $0.1 million as described further in Note 11, Stockholder’s Equity. These warrants were recorded as additional debt issuance costs, which are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Amended Credit Agreement using the effective interest method.

The maturity date of the Credit Facility is May 1, 2027. On the date of termination of the Term Loan or the date on which the obligations under the Term Loan become due and payable in full, the Company will pay an exit fee in an amount equal to 9.00% of the total aggregate principal amount of term loans made pursuant to the Term Loan (including amendments thereto) as of such date. All loans issued under the Credit Facility are collateralized by the Company’s assets.

Note 11. Stockholders’ Equity

At-the-Market Facility

On March 30, 2023, the Company entered into a sales agreement (the ATM Facility) with Cowen and Company, LLC (Cowen), under which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, shares of its common stock having aggregate gross proceeds of up to $50.0 million. The issuance and sale of these shares pursuant to the ATM Facility are deemed “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and are registered under the Securities Act. The Company will pay a commission of up to 3.0% of gross sales proceeds of any common stock sold under the ATM Facility. The aggregate market value of shares eligible for sale under the ATM Facility will be subject to the limitations of General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, to the extent required under such instruction.

Warrants to Purchase Common Stock

On March 8, 2024, as a condition to the effectiveness of Amendment No. 5, the Company issued to MidCap Funding XXVII a warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 125,000 shares (the Common Warrant) of common stock with an exercise price of $2.9934 per share, subject to adjustment as provided therein. The Common Warrant is exercisable immediately, and will expire on the earlier to occur of the (i) expiration of the Common Warrant pursuant to Section 1.6 thereof, or (ii) tenth (10th) anniversary of the Issue Date (as defined therein). The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Common Warrant will be subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, or similar transaction, as described in the Common Warrant. MidCap may exercise the Common Warrant for cash or by means of a “cashless exercise.”

The Company determined that the Common Warrant is not a liability within the scope of ASC 480, but met the requirements to be classified within stockholders’ equity, because the warrant is indexed to the Company’s own stock and met all of the conditions for equity classification in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, the warrants were recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital in the statements of stockholders’ equity at the time of issuance. The Common Warrant was valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: i) fair value of common stock of $2.8500, ii) exercise price of $2.9934, iii) term of 5 years, iv) dividend rate of 0%, v) volatility of 36.70%, and vi) risk free interest rate of 4.06%.

The equity-based awards for employees will generally vest over a four-year period, pursuant to two different vesting schedules. For initial equity-based awards granted to employees, the first vest is generally a one-year cliff vest, followed by monthly vesting for the final three years. Thereafter, annual equity-based awards granted to employees typically vest monthly over the four-year vest term. The initial equity-based awards granted to the Company’s non-employee, independent directors upon appointment to the board of directors will vest over a three-year period, with the first vest being a one-year cliff, followed by monthly vesting over the remaining two years. Thereafter, annual equity-based awards granted to the Company’s non-employee, independent directors will cliff vest after one year from the date of grant.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company also maintains an employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) that authorizes the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to purchase rights granted to eligible employees. Unless otherwise determined by the Company’s board of directors, shares of the Company’s common stock will be purchased for the accounts of employees participating in the Company’s ESPP at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) 85% of the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the first day of an offering; or (ii) 85% of the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of purchase. Offering periods are generally six months long; offering periods begin on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The Company issued zero shares of common stock under the ESPP during each of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024.

Repricing of Outstanding and Unexercised Options

In January 2024, the Company’s board of directors approved a one-time repricing of certain previously granted and still outstanding vested and unvested stock option awards held by eligible employees, executive officers, and non-employee directors. As a result, the exercise price for these awards will be lowered to $2.97 per share, which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Stock Market on March 14, 2024, so long as the holder remains employed by the Company or continues to serve as a member of the board of directors through September 14, 2025 absent earlier trigger events defined in the option repricing plan. No other terms of the stock options were modified, and the stock options will continue to vest according to their original vesting schedules and will retain their original expiration dates. As a result of the repricing, 1,631,016 vested and unvested stock options outstanding as of March 14, 2024, with original exercise prices ranging from $3.02 to $27.49, were repriced.

The repricing on March 14, 2024 resulted in incremental stock-based compensation expense of $0.9 million, of which $0.5 million related to vested stock option awards and was expensed on the repricing date. The remaining $0.4 million related to unvested stock option awards and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the weighted-average vesting period of those awards of approximately 2.38 years as of March 14, 2024.

Unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options was $5.5 million at March 31, 2024, which is expected to be recognized as expense over the weighted-average period of 3.20 years.

Stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units was $0.1 million in each of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock units was $0.4 million at March 31, 2024, which is expected to be recognized as expense over the weighted-average period of 1.93 years.

Stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP was not significant in either of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Total compensation cost related to the ESPP not yet recognized was not significant at March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, $0.1 million has been withheld on behalf of employees for future purchases under the ESPP.

Note 13. Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 the Company's income tax benefit was not significant, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, when the Company also recorded a minimal income tax benefit. The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were 0.4% and 0.2%, respectively. The effective tax rates differ from the federal statutory rate primarily due to operating losses not expected to produce an income tax benefit.

The Company had insignificant unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. The Company does not expect the balance of unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly over the next twelve months. The Company has not accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Net Loss Per Share

Note 14. Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents to the extent they are dilutive. For purposes of this calculation, stock options, restricted stock units, employee stock purchase rights, and warrants to purchase common stock, are considered to be common stock equivalents but have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive for all periods presented.

Contingencies

Note 16. Contingencies

From time to time, we may become involved in lawsuits and other claims arising from our ordinary course of business. The Company regularly evaluates its exposure to threatened or pending litigation and other business contingencies. Because of the uncertainties related to the amount of loss from litigation and other business contingencies, the recording of losses relating to such exposures requires significant judgment about the potential range of outcomes. We establish loss provisions for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. If a loss is not both probable and reasonably estimable, or if an exposure to loss exists in excess of the amount accrued, the Company assesses whether there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional loss, may have been incurred. If there is a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional loss, may have been incurred, the Company will disclose the estimate of the possible loss or range of loss if it is material and an estimate can be made, or disclose that such an estimate cannot be made. The determination as to whether a loss can reasonably be considered to be possible or probable is based on our assessment, together with legal counsel, regarding the ultimate outcome of the matter. As additional information about current or future litigation or other contingencies becomes available, the Company will assess whether adjustments should be made to legal accruals.

In August 2023, a former Teknova employee filed a claim with the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency alleging various causes of action under California’s labor, wage, and hour laws. The plaintiff generally alleges that Teknova did not appropriately calculate and pay meal break premiums and otherwise failed to calculate and pay appropriate overtime wages or bonuses to certain of its California non-exempt employees. A mediation has been scheduled for June 6, 2024. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has accrued its best estimate of potential loss related to a possible settlement of the claims of the former employee and other employees who may assert similar claims, in the amount of $0.3 million, which is included within “Accrued liabilities” on the Balance Sheet. The actual loss attributable to the final resolution of this and related claims could differ materially from the Company’s present best estimate.

Basis of Accounting, Presentation and Use of Estimates

Basis of Accounting, Presentation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations.

The unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the audited annual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the related notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2024 (the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K). Refer to Notes to Financial Statements—Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” within the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a full list of the Company’s significant accounting policies. The information in those notes has not changed except as a result of normal adjustments in the interim period.

Teknova has determined that it operates in one reporting unit, one operating segment, and one reportable segment, as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) of the Company reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance.

Going Concern

Going Concern

Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern, requires management to evaluate an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve-month period following the date on which the financial statements are available for issuance. Management performed an assessment to determine whether there were conditions or events that, considered individually and in the aggregate, raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve-month period following the date on which the accompanying unaudited financial statements are being issued. This assessment indicated certain negative conditions and events, described further below, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had limited capital resources to fund ongoing operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, Teknova incurred net losses of $8.1 million. In addition, as of March 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $99.9 million and a total principal amount of outstanding borrowings of $12.1 million. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $31.8 million of working capital, which included $21.6 million in cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s available capital resources may not be sufficient for the Company to continue to meet its obligations as they become due over the next twelve months if the Company cannot improve its operating results or increase its operating cash inflows. If these capital resources are not sufficient,

the Company may need to raise additional capital through the sale of equity or debt securities, enter into strategic business collaboration agreements with other companies, seek other funding facilities, or sell assets. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to accomplish any of the foregoing or do so on favorable terms. If the Company is unable to meet its obligations when they become due over the next twelve months through its available capital resources, or obtain new sources of capital when needed, the Company may have to delay expenditures, reduce the scope of its manufacturing operations, reduce or eliminate one or more of its development programs, make significant changes to its operating plan, or cease its operations.

As disclosed in Note 10. Long-term Debt, Net, the Company is subject to certain financial covenants as set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement (defined in Note 10). These financial covenants include (i) a trailing twelve months minimum net revenue covenant that must be met each calendar month, and (ii) a requirement to maintain a minimum level of cash at all times through the term of the Amended Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants as of March 31, 2024; however, the Company continues to experience unfavorable market conditions, like other companies in the industry. As a result, the Company believes it may be unable to comply with the trailing twelve months revenue covenant for the twelve-month period following the date on which the financial statements are available for issuance. If the Company violates one or more of its covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement, including the monthly revenue covenant, and is not able to obtain a waiver from or agree to an accommodation with the lender with respect to any such violation, the Company could be required to pay all or a portion of the outstanding amount under the Term Loan (defined in Note 10). In that event, the Company may need to seek other sources of capital and there can be no assurances that the Company would be able to do so on acceptable terms.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for one year following the issuance of these unaudited financial statements. As such, the accompanying unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and their carrying amounts, or the amount and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Reduction in Workforce

Reduction in Workforce

On January 11, 2024, the Company carried out a reduction in workforce of approximately 35 positions, aimed at reducing operating expenses. The Company incurred $1.3 million of costs in connection with the reduction in workforce related to severance pay and other termination benefits. The costs associated with the reduction in workforce were recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2024, in general and administrative expenses.

On February 1, 2023, the Company carried out a reduction in workforce of approximately 40 positions, aimed at reducing operating expenses. The Company incurred $0.7 million of costs in connection with the reduction in workforce related to severance pay and other termination benefits. The costs associated with the reduction in workforce were recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2023, in general and administrative expenses
Warrants

Warrants

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (ASC 480) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. Additionally, all disclosure requirements under the guidance are also required for public entities with a single reportable segment. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disclosure in the rate reconciliation table additional categories of information about federal, state and foreign income taxes and to provide more details about the reconciliation items in some categories if the items meet a quantitative threshold. The guidance also requires disclosure of income taxes paid, net of refunds, disaggregated by federal (national), state and foreign taxes for annual periods and to disaggregate the information by jurisdiction based on a quantitative threshold. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.

Recent Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Final Rules Not Yet Adopted [Policy Text Block]

Recent Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Final Rules Not Yet Adopted

In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules under SEC Release No. 33-11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors, which requires registrants to provide certain climate-related information in their registration statements and annual reports. The rules require information about a registrant’s climate-related risks that have materially impacted, or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on its business, results of operations, or financial condition. In addition, certain disclosures related to severe weather events and other natural conditions will be required in the registrant’s audited financial statements. Disclosure requirements will begin phasing in for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these new final rules on its financial statements and disclosures.
