Annual Report for Fiscal Year Ending 12-31, 2025 (Form 10-K)

Item 7. 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 financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including those described in the section entitled "Forward Looking Statements and Market Data." Our actual results and the timing of selected events could differ materially from those discussed below. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below and those set forth under the section entitled "Risk Factors" or in other parts of this Annual Report.

Overview

We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing next-generation precision medicines for large opportunities in targeted oncology and genetically defined conditions, harnessing the power of Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor (FGFR) biology.

Our in-house precision medicine platform, SNÅP, enables rapid and precise drug design through iterative molecular SNÅPshots that help us design and predict which product candidates may demonstrate the highest potency, selectivity and tolerability in the clinic. Through this approach, we have built a wholly-owned pipeline of oral small molecule product candidates focused on targets that have previously been considered difficult-to-drug.

Our FGFR3 Programs-oral dabogratinib (formerly TYRA-300) for Urothelial Cancers and Skeletal Dysplasia

Alterations in the protein receptor FGFR3 are a validated driver in multiple indications with large market opportunities: urothelial cancers and skeletal dysplasia conditions. In urothelial cancer, uncontrolled activation of FGFR3 on the cell surface stimulates cellular proliferation. In skeletal dysplasia conditions, increased activity of FGFR3 expressed in growth plate chondrocytes (cartilage cells) results in excessive limitation of long bone growth.

Our lead program, oral dabogratinib, was designed to be more selective for FGFR3 over FGFR1, FGFR2, and FGFR4 to minimize off-target side effects, providing potential clinical advantages over less selective first-generation compounds and potentially addressing key unmet needs across both urothelial cancers and skeletal dysplasia conditions. To date, oral dabogratinib has been administered to over 100 participants across multiple clinical studies.

We demonstrated initial clinical proof-of-concept results with oral dabogratinib in the SURF301 study, a Phase 1 proof-of-concept study in metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC). Oral dabogratinib demonstrated encouraging anti-tumor activity and was generally well-tolerated, with infrequent FGFR2- and FGFR1-associated toxicities. Response, safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) / pharmacodynamics (PD) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) data from this study were leveraged to select doses that have the potential to achieve our target product profile for efficacy and safety in our Phase 2 trials and beyond.

We are currently advancing oral dabogratinib in three Phase 2 trials for three outsized market indications: SURF303, evaluating the treatment of low-grade upper tract urothelial carcinoma (LG-UTUC); SURF302, evaluating the treatment of intermediate risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (IR NMIBC); and BEACH301, evaluating the treatment of achondroplasia (ACH) in children. If we are successful with these Phase 2 studies, we expect to advance oral dabogratinib toward three potential registrational trials in LG-UTUC, IR NMIBC and ACH. We are calling this approach our "dabogratinib 3x3" strategy.

SURF303 for LG-UTUC: This open-label Phase 2a/b clinical trial was designed as a potential registrational trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral dabogratinib at doses of 60 mg and 80 mg once daily (QD) in participants with FGFR3-altered low-grade upper tract urothelial carcinoma, where approximately 85% of tumors are driven by FGFR3. Study startup is ongoing and the first patient in this study is anticipated to be dosed in 2026.

SURF302 for IR NMIBC: This open-label Phase 2 clinical trial is evaluating the efficacy and safety of oral dabogratinib at 50 mg and 60 mg QD in participants with FGFR3-altered low-grade IR NMIBC, where approximately 70% of tumors are driven by FGFR3. We anticipate reporting initial three-month CR data from approximately 10-20 patients per cohort from this study by the end of the first half of 2026.

BEACH301 for ACH: This study is an open-label, Phase 2 dose-escalation/dose-expansion trial evaluating oral dabogratinib at lower doses (0.125, 0.25, 0.375, 0.50 mg/kg), as compared to the oncology studies, in children ages 3 to 10 with ACH with open growth plates, where approximately 99% of cases are driven by FGFR3. The study is enrolling a safety sentinel cohort of 3 or more participants per dose level in children ages 5 to 10, and a natural history run-in for cohorts 1 and 2 with children ages 3 to 10. Initial results from the safety sentinel cohort, including 6-month average height velocity (AHV) results and interim safety, are on-track and expected to be reported in the second half of 2026.

Our Other Programs

TYRA-430 was designed to be biased for FGFR4 and FGFR3 over the FGFR1 and FGFR2 isoforms specifically to address the FGF19 signaling pathway, while also potentially limiting side effects due to inhibition of FGFR1 and FGFR2, as well as to address acquired resistance mutations that have limited the efficacy of previous FGFR4-specific inhibitors. TYRA-430 is currently being evaluated in SURF431, a global, Phase 1, multicenter, open-label trial, with a focus on achieving clinical proof-of-concept in a cohort of patients with FGF19+ hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

TYRA-200 is an FGFR1/2/3 inhibitor designed to be active against nearly all of the clinically identified acquired resistant mutations that arise during treatment with pan-FGFR inhibitors, which we believe is necessary to address the problem of disease progression due to polyclonal resistance. TYRA-200 is currently being evaluated in SURF201, a global, Phase 1, multicenter, open-label trial, with a focus on achieving clinical proof-of-concept in a cohort of FGFR2-driven intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) resistant to previous FGFR inhibitors.

Financial Overview

Since the commencement of our operations in 2018, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to organizing and staffing the company, business planning, raising capital, developing our proprietary SNÅP platform, undertaking research and development activities for our development programs, establishing our intellectual property portfolio, and providing general and administrative support for our operations. We have not generated any revenue to date and have funded our operations primarily from our initial public offering (IPO), private placements of our convertible preferred stock and the issuance of common stock and pre-funded common stock warrants

through a private placement. Our net losses for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $119.9 million and $86.5 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $371.3 million. As of December 31, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $256.0 million.

We have incurred significant operating losses since inception. Our net losses may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year, depending on the timing of our clinical development activities, other research and development activities and capital expenditures. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future if and as we continue to develop and conduct clinical trials for our product candidates, continue our research and development activities for future product candidates, expand our clinical and regulatory capabilities, add operational and management information systems and hire additional personnel, expand and protect our intellectual property, establish marketing, sales, distribution and other commercialization capabilities if we obtain approval for any of our product candidates and incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company.

Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2025 will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditures through at least 2027. We have never generated any revenue and do not expect to generate any revenue from product sales unless and until we successfully complete the development of and obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates, which will not be for several years, if ever. In addition, if we obtain regulatory approval for any of our product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution. Accordingly, until we can generate significant revenue from sales of our product candidates, if ever, we expect to finance our cash needs through equity offerings, debt financings or other capital sources, including potential collaborations, licenses and other similar arrangements. However, we may not be able to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed or on favorable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital or enter into such arrangements when needed, we could be forced to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our research and development programs or future commercialization efforts, or grant rights to develop and market our product candidates even if we would otherwise prefer to develop and market such product candidates ourselves.

Components of Results of Operations

Operating Expenses

Research and Development Expenses

To date, our research and development expenses consist primarily of external and internal costs related to the development of our SNÅP platform and our product candidates and development programs. Our research and development expenses primarily include:

external costs, including:
o
expenses incurred in connection with conducting clinical trials, including investigator grants and site payments for time and pass-through expenses and expenses incurred under agreements with contract research organizations (CROs), central laboratories and other vendors and service providers engaged to conduct our trials;
o
expenses incurred in connection with the discovery and preclinical development of our product candidates, including under agreements with third parties, such as consultants and CROs;
o
costs associated with consultants for chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC) development, and other services;
o
the cost of manufacturing compounds for use in our preclinical studies, including under agreements with third parties, such as consultants and third-party manufacturers; and
o
costs related to compliance with drug development regulatory requirements; and
internal costs, including:
o
employee-related expenses, including salaries, related benefits, recruiting costs, travel and share-based compensation expenses for employees engaged in research and development functions;
o
the costs of laboratory supplies and acquiring, developing and manufacturing preclinical study materials; and
o
facilities, depreciation and other indirect expenses, which include allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities and supplies.

We expense research and development expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. External expenses are recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using information provided to us by our service providers or our estimate of the level of service that has been performed at each reporting date. We track external expenses on a development program and other program-specific basis. However, we do not track internal costs, such as personnel-related expenses, stock-based compensation expense, facility-related costs and supplies and certain external consultant costs on a program-specific basis because these costs are deployed across multiple programs under development.

Research and development activities are central to our business model. There are numerous factors associated with the successful development of any of our product candidates, including future trial design and various regulatory requirements, many of which cannot be determined with accuracy at this time based on our stage of development. In addition, future regulatory factors beyond our control may impact our clinical development programs. Product candidates in later stages of development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of development. As a result, we expect that our research and development expenses will increase substantially over the next several years as we advance our product candidates into later phases of clinical trials or through preclinical studies into and through clinical trials, continue to discover and develop additional product candidates and expand our pipeline, maintain, expand, protect and enforce our intellectual property portfolio and hire additional personnel.

Our future research and development expenses may vary significantly based on a wide variety of factors, such as:

the number and scope, rate of progress, expense and results of our discovery and preclinical development activities and clinical trials;
the number of trials required for approval;
the number of sites included in each of our trials;
the countries in which the trials are conducted;
the length of time required to enroll eligible patients;
the number of patients that participate in the trials;
the ability to identify appropriate patients eligible for our clinical trials;
the number of doses that patients receive;
the drop-out or discontinuation rates of patients;
potential additional safety monitoring requested by regulatory agencies;
the duration of patient participation in the trials and follow-up;
the phase of development of the product candidate;
the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidate;
the timing, receipt, and terms of any approvals from applicable regulatory authorities including the FDA and non-U.S. regulators;
maintaining a continued acceptable safety profile of our product candidates following approval, if any;
the cost and timing of manufacturing our product candidates;
significant and changing government regulation and regulatory guidance;
the ability to attract and retain personnel;
the impact of any business interruptions to our operations or to those of the third parties with whom we work;
geopolitical instability, including war and terrorism;
adverse effects on the financial markets, the global economy, the supply chain and our expenses due to tariffs and trade policies, pandemic or epidemic diseases, geopolitical instability, inflation, interest rates and other factors; and
the extent to which we establish additional strategic collaborations or other arrangements.

A change in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of any of our product candidates could significantly change the costs and timing associated with the development of that product candidate.

The process of conducting the necessary preclinical and clinical research to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time-consuming. The actual probability of success for our product candidates or any future candidates may be affected by a variety of factors. We may never succeed in achieving regulatory approval for any of our product candidates or any future candidates.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses, including employee salaries, bonuses, benefits, and stock-based compensation charges for personnel in executive, finance and other administrative functions. Other significant general and administrative expenses include legal fees relating to intellectual property and corporate matters, allocated facility-related costs, professional fees for accounting, tax, business development and consulting services and insurance costs. We expect our general and administrative expenses will increase for the foreseeable future to support our increased research and development activities, manufacturing activities, and the increased costs associated with operating as a public company. These increased costs will likely include increased expenses related to hiring additional personnel, audit, legal, regulatory and tax-related services associated with maintaining compliance with exchange listing and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requirements, director and officer insurance costs, and investor and public relations costs.

Other Income

Other income consists primarily of interest income from cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and accretion income from marketable securities.

Research and development expenses were $102.9 million and $80.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase of $22.8 million was primarily driven by:

a $17.0 million increase in external costs, including an $11.5 million increase related to development activities for oral dabogratinib, reflecting ongoing BEACH301 and SURF302 clinical trials and start-up costs for SURF303, as well as a $3.4 million increase in development expenditures for SURF431; and
an increase of $5.8 million in compensation and other personnel expenses.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $29.8 million and $24.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase of $5.7 million was primarily related to higher compensation and other personnel expenses, including an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation costs of $3.7 million, driven by headcount growth.

Other Income

Other income was $12.8 million and $17.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease of $4.9 million was due to lower interest rates and reduced balances in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

On October 3, 2022, we entered into an ATM Sales Agreement (the 2022 Sales Agreement) with Virtu Americas LLC (the 2022 Sales Agent), under which we could have, from time to time, sold shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $150.0 million in "at the market" offerings through the 2022 Sales Agent. We did not sell any shares under the 2022 Sales Agreement. In connection with the 2025 Sales Agreement (as defined below), effective May 8, 2025, we terminated the 2022 Sales Agreement.

On May 8, 2025, we entered into a Sales Agreement (the 2025 Sales Agreement) with TD Securities (USA) LLC (the 2025 Sales Agent), under which we may, from time to time, sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $150.0 million in "at the market" offerings through the 2025 Sales Agent. Sales of the shares of common stock, if any, will be made at prevailing market prices at the time of sale or as otherwise agreed with the 2025 Sales Agent. The 2025 Sales Agent will receive a commission from us of up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds of any shares of common stock sold under the 2025 Sales Agreement. As of December 31, 2025, we had not sold any shares under the 2025 Sales Agreement.

Operating Activities

The increase of $25.4 million in net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily due to an increase of $33.5 million in net loss and a decrease in net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $0.9 million, offset by an increase of $5.2 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense and a decrease of $3.8 million in non-cash net accretion on marketable securities.

Investing Activities

The increase of $170.9 million in net cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, was driven by a reduction in purchases of marketable securities of $162.4 million, a $8.0 million increase in maturities of marketable securities, and a $0.5 million decrease in capital expenditures for property and equipment.

Financing Activities

The decrease of $194.0 million in net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily due to the $199.6 million in net proceeds

from the 2024 Private Placement received during the year ended December 31, 2024. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of $5.6 million in proceeds from issuances of common stock under benefit plans.

Material Cash Requirements

Our material cash requirements consist of expected operating expenses to conduct our clinical trials and other research and development activities, personnel-related expenses and operating lease obligations.

Our primary uses of cash to date have been to fund our research and development activities, including with respect to dabogratinib, TYRA-430, TYRA-200 and other research programs, business planning, establishing and maintaining our intellectual property portfolio, hiring personnel, raising capital, and providing general and administrative support for these operations.

Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2025 will be sufficient to meet our anticipated operating expenses and capital expenditures through at least 2027. However, our forecast of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations is a forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could deplete our capital resources sooner than we expect. Additionally, the process of conducting preclinical studies and testing product candidates in clinical trials is costly, and the timing of progress and expenses in these studies and trials is uncertain.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

the initiation, type, number, scope, results, costs and timing of our ongoing and planned preclinical studies and clinical trials of existing product candidates or clinical trials of other potential product candidates we may choose to pursue in the future, including based on feedback received from regulatory authorities;
the costs and timing of manufacturing for current or future product candidates, including commercial scale manufacturing if any product candidate is approved;
the costs, timing and outcome of regulatory review of current or future product candidates;
the costs of obtaining, maintaining and enforcing our patents and other intellectual property rights;
our efforts to enhance operational systems and hire additional personnel to satisfy our obligations as a public company, including enhanced internal controls over financial reporting;
the costs associated with hiring additional personnel and consultants as our business grows, including additional executive officers and clinical development personnel, as well as retaining personnel;
the costs and timing of establishing or securing sales and marketing capabilities if any current or future product candidate is approved;
our ability to achieve sufficient market acceptance, coverage and adequate reimbursement from third-party payors and adequate market share and revenue for any approved products;
costs associated with any products or technologies that we may in-license or acquire; and
delays or issues with any of the above, including that the risk of each may be exacerbated by tariffs or trade policies, any future pandemics or epidemic diseases, potential geopolitical instability, war, terrorism, inflation or rising interest rates.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenues to support our cost structure, we expect to finance our cash needs through equity offerings, debt financings or other capital sources, including

potential collaborations, licenses and other similar arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our stockholders could be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders. Debt financing and equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise funds through collaborations or other similar arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us and/or may reduce the value of our common stock. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market our product candidates even if we would otherwise prefer to develop and market such product candidates ourselves.

We lease our corporate office and laboratory space in Carlsbad, California. As of December 31, 2025, total future aggregate operating lease commitments were $7.8 million, with approximately $0.9 million due in 2026, and the remaining due in periods from 2027 through 2033. These obligations are further described in Note 9 to our audited financial statements.

In addition, we enter into agreements and purchase orders in the normal course of business with vendors for the provision of goods and services. These agreements may include certain provisions for termination, with notice, which typically consist of payments for services provided or expenses incurred through the date of cancellation. We believe that our non-cancelable obligations under these agreements are not material.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events, and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 1 to our financial statements included elsewhere in this filing, we believe the following accounting policies and estimates to be most critical to the preparation of our financial statements.

Accrued Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist of external and internal costs associated with the Company's research and development activities, including its discovery and research efforts and the preclinical and clinical development of its product candidates. Research and development costs are expensed in the period incurred.

The Company has entered into various research and development contracts with clinical research organizations, clinical manufacturing organizations, clinical sites and other vendors and consultants. Payments for these activities are based on the terms of the individual agreements, which may differ from the pattern of costs incurred, and payments made in advance of or after the performance are reflected in the accompanying balance sheets as prepaid expenses or accrued liabilities, respectively. The Company records accruals for estimated costs incurred for ongoing research and development activities. When evaluating the adequacy of the accrued liabilities, the Company analyzes the progress of the services, including the phase or completion of events, invoices received and contracted costs. The Company holds discussions with applicable personnel and outside service providers as to the progress of clinical trials, or the services completed. Significant judgments and estimates may be made in determining the status and timing of services performed, and actual results could differ from the Company's

estimates. Nonrefundable advance payments for goods and services, including fees for process development, are deferred and recognized as expenses in the period that the related goods are consumed or services are performed.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

A description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that may potentially impact our financial position and results of operations is disclosed in Note 1 to our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company Status

We are an "emerging growth company" as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (JOBS Act). We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have more than $1.235 billion in annual revenue; (ii) the date we qualify as a "large accelerated filer," with at least $700 million of equity securities held by non-affiliates; (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period; and (iv) December 31, 2026. As a result of this status, we have taken advantage of reduced reporting requirements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and may elect to take advantage of other reduced reporting requirements in our future filings with the SEC. In particular, in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have provided only two years of audited financial statements and have not included all of the executive compensation-related information that would be required if we were not an emerging growth company.

In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, delaying the adoption of these accounting standards until they would apply to private companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period to enable us to comply with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date on which we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company and (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

We are also a "smaller reporting company" as defined in the Exchange Act. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter or (ii) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter. If we are a smaller reporting company at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company, we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and, similar to emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation and other matters.
