78 Facilities and other research and development expenses decreased $2.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to 2023, primarily driven by reduced costs for digital transformation activities as well as currency fluctuations in the revaluation of our lease and capital obligations. General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses decreased $10.3 million, or 14%, during the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to 2023, primarily driven by stock-based compensation expense related to previously issued higher value awards becoming fully vested. Interest Income Interest income decreased $5.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to 2023, which was mainly attributable to the decrease in cash available to earn interest during 2024. Other Income (Expense), Net Other income (expense), net decreased $0.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to 2023, which was mainly attributable to the settlement of foreign currency forward contracts. Comparison of the Fiscal Years Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 For a comparison of our results of operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, refer to “Part II, Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 28, 2024. Liquidity and Capital Resources; Plan of Operations Sources of Liquidity We have funded our operations primarily through the issuance of common stock and the sale of future royalties. As of December 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $168.1 million. We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to support our current and planned operations into 2026. Future Funding Requirements We have incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. As of December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $1,328.7 million. We expect to continue to incur operating losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future and as a result, there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. We plan to raise additional capital to maintain current operations and to continue research and development activities. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience dilution. Any future debt financing into which we enter may impose upon us covenants that restrict our operations, including limitations on our ability to incur liens or debt, pay dividends, repurchase our common stock, make certain investments and engage in certain merger, consolidation or asset sale transactions. Any debt financing or additional equity that we raise may contain terms that are not favorable to us or our stockholders. If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed, we may be required to pause, scale back or discontinue one or more of our development programs. We may also be required to sell or license rights to our product candidates or indications in certain territories to others that we would prefer to develop and commercialize ourselves. Adequate additional funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed could have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to pursue our business strategies. Refer to the section of this report titled “Part I, Item 1A — Risk Factors” for additional risks associated with our substantial capital requirements. To date, we have not generated any product revenue. We do not expect to generate any product revenue unless and until we obtain regulatory approval of and commercialize any of our product candidates or enter into collaborative agreements with third parties, and we do not know when, or if, either will occur. We expect to continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future, and we expect our losses to increase as we continue the development of, and seek regulatory approvals for, our product candidates, and begin to commercialize any approved products. We are subject to all of the risks typically related to the development of new product candidates, and we may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors that may adversely affect our business.
