1. Nature of business
Formation and organization
POINT Biopharma Global Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”), is a globally focused radiopharmaceutical company building a platform for the clinical development and commercialization of radioligands that fight cancer. On September 18, 2019, POINT Theranostics Inc. was incorporated under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL") and amended its name to “POINT Biopharma Inc.” on November 22, 2019. On June 30, 2021, following the Business Combination (as defined in Note 3 below), POINT Biopharma Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of POINT Biopharma Global Inc. Under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement (as defined in Note 3 below), stockholders of POINT Biopharma Inc. received approximately 3.59 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) in exchange for each common share of POINT Biopharma Inc. Also in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, RACA (as defined in Note 3 below) consummated the sale of an aggregate of 16,500,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of RACA (“Class A Common Stock”) in a private placement at a price of $10.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $165.0 million (“PIPE Financing”). In accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, upon the closing of the Business Combination, each share of Class A Common Stock and each share of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of RACA (“Class B Common Stock”) was converted into one share of Common Stock of the Company. For additional information on the Business Combination, please see Note 3.
The Company was founded on a mission to make radioligand therapy applicable to more cancers and available to more people, thereby improving the lives of cancer patients and their families everywhere.
The Company has four wholly-owned subsidiaries, POINT Biopharma Inc., POINT Biopharma USA Inc. and West 78th Street, LLC, each located in the USA, and POINT Biopharma Corp., located in Canada (collectively the "Subsidiaries"). The Company’s headquarters is located at 4850 West 78th Street, Indianapolis, Indiana, 46268.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 270, Interim Reporting and include the accounts of the Company and Subsidiaries, for financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. Except as described below, the accounting policies and methods of computation applied in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes contained therein are consistent with those applied by the Company in its audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 contained in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on March 25, 2022 (the “2021 Financial Statements”). These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2021 Financial Statements.
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic and other geopolitical events
The COVID-19 coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic, which was declared by the World Health Organization as a pandemic in March 2020 and has spread worldwide, has caused many governments to implement measures to slow the spread of the outbreak through quarantines, travel restrictions, heightened border security and other measures. COVID-19 continues to have an impact on the global economy as well as businesses and capital markets around the world. The future progression of the pandemic and its effects on the Company’s business and operations are uncertain.
6
In response to public health directives and orders and to help minimize the risk of the virus to employees, the Company has taken precautionary measures, including implementing work-from-home policies, mandatory vaccination, daily check-ins, masking and weekly testing for certain employees. The impact of the virus, including work-from-home policies, may negatively impact productivity, disrupt the Company’s business, and delay its preclinical research and clinical trial activities and its development program timelines, the magnitude of which will depend, in part, on the length and severity of the restrictions and other limitations on the Company’s ability to conduct its business in the ordinary course. Specifically, the Company may not be able to enroll additional patient cohorts on its planned timeline due to disruptions at its clinical trial sites. Other impacts to the Company’s business may include temporary closures of its suppliers and disruptions or restrictions on its employees’ ability to travel. Any prolonged material disruption to the Company’s employees or suppliers could adversely impact the Company’s preclinical research and clinical trial activities, financial condition and results of operations, including its ability to obtain financing. Further, general macroeconomic trends, including rising inflation rates, sustained supply chain disruptions, and any resulting recession, depression or other sustained adverse market event could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and the value of our Common Stock.
Additionally, financial markets may be adversely affected by the current or anticipated impact of military conflict, including escalating military fighting between Russia and Ukraine, terrorism or other or macroeconomic geopolitical events. The U.S. and other nations in response to the Russo-Ukrainian conflict have announced economic sanctions which may have an adverse effect on the global financial markets. The Company's SPLASH trial has vendor staff in Ukraine, and any political instability in the region may disrupt resourcing assigned to the trial and negatively impact our business.
The Company is monitoring the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the potential impact of the Russo-Ukrainian conflict and other macroeconomic events on its business and consolidated financial statements. To date, the Company has not experienced any material business disruptions or incurred any impairment losses in the carrying values of its assets as a result of these events and it is not aware of any specific related event or circumstance that would require it to revise its estimates reflected in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents.
Investments
The Company determines the appropriate classification of its investments in debt securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such determination at each balance sheet date. The Company classifies its investments as current or non-current based on each instrument’s underlying maturity date. Investments with original maturities of greater than three months and less than one year are classified as current and are included in short-term investments in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Investments with remaining maturities greater than one year from the balance sheet date are classified as non-current and are included in long-term investments in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s investments are classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are included in other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of shareholders’ equity until realized. Amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts are recorded in finance income (expense). Realized gains and losses on debt securities are included in other income (expense), net.
The Company evaluates its investments with unrealized losses for other-than-temporary impairment. If any adjustment to fair value reflects a decline in the value of the investment, the Company considers all available evidence to evaluate the extent to which the decline is other-than-temporary in nature. For any adjustment the Company considers to be other-than-temporary, the Company reduces the investment to fair value through a charge to the statement of operations. No such adjustments were necessary during the periods presented.
Risks and uncertainties
The Company has incurred significant net losses since inception and, prior to the Business Combination, had funded operations through equity financings. Operating losses and negative cash flows are expected to continue for the foreseeable future. As losses continue to be incurred, the Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, successful discovery and development of its product candidates, regulatory approval of its product candidates, development by competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, the ability to attract and retain qualified employees, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with governmental regulations, the impact of macroeconomic disruptions, such as those arising from the COVID-19 coronavirus and the Russo-Ukrainian conflict, the ability to secure additional capital to fund operations and commercial success of its product candidates. Product candidates currently under development will require extensive preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant
7
amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel, and infrastructure and extensive compliance-reporting capabilities. Even if the Company’s drug development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will realize significant revenue from product sales.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses for the periods presented. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the accrual of research and development expenses and the valuations of stock options and warrants. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates when there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results may differ from those estimates or assumptions.
Recently adopted accounting standards
Debt with Conversion and Other Options
The FASB has issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments, such as convertible debt or convertible preferred stock, by eliminating two potential methods in accounting for the embedded conversion feature. The standard also removes certain conditions previously used to evaluate whether a freestanding financial instrument, or certain types of embedded features, are considered to be settled in the issuer’s own equity. Finally, ASU 2020-06 requires that an entity use the if-converted method in calculating the effects of convertible instruments on diluted earnings per share, with one limited exception. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company early adopted the provisions of ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022 and there was no material impact to its interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options
The FASB has issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). ASU 2021-04 provides guidance that an entity should treat a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. The standard also provides guidance on how an entity should measure and recognize the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2021-04 on January 1, 2022 and there was no material impact to its interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
3. Business Combination
On March 15, 2021, POINT Biopharma Inc. entered into a definitive business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Therapeutics Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:RACA), d/b/a Research Alliance Corp. I (“RACA”), a special purpose acquisition company sponsored by RA Capital Management L.P., that was created for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses. On June 30, 2021, (the “Closing Date”), Bodhi Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of RACA, merged with and into POINT Biopharma Inc. (the “Business Combination”), with POINT Biopharma Inc. as the surviving company in the Business Combination and, after giving effect to such Business Combination, POINT Biopharma Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of RACA. RACA was then renamed “POINT Biopharma Global Inc.”
In accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, upon the closing of the Business Combination:
(i)each share and vested equity award of POINT Biopharma Inc. outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing Date was converted into shares of Common Stock of the Company or comparable vested equity awards that are
8
exercisable for shares of Common Stock of the Company, based on an implied vested equity value of $585.0 million (which is equal to a conversion ratio of approximately 3.59-for-1); and
(ii)all unvested equity awards of POINT Biopharma Inc. were converted into comparable equity awards that are exercisable for shares of Common Stock of the Company, determined based on the same conversion ratio at which the vested equity awards are converted into shares of Common Stock of the Company; and
(iii)each share of RACA Class A Common Stock and each share of RACA Class B Common Stock that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date became one share of Common Stock of the Company.
In connection with the Business Combination, the Company consummated the PIPE Financing, pursuant to which it received $165.0 million in exchange for 16,500,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company.
After giving effect to the Business Combination, there were 90,121,794 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.
We accounted for the Business Combination as a reverse recapitalization, in accordance with U.S. GAAP. POINT Biopharma Inc. is treated as the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree), while RACA is the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer) for financial reporting purposes. This determination is primarily based on the fact that the former POINT Biopharma Inc. stockholders retained a majority of the voting power of the Company and comprise a majority of the governing body of the Company, and the former POINT Biopharma Inc. senior management comprise substantially all of the senior management of the Company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination is treated as the equivalent of POINT Biopharma Inc. issuing shares for the net assets of RACA, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of RACA are stated at historical costs. No goodwill or other intangible assets is recorded.
In connection with the Business Combination, the Company incurred underwriting fees and other costs considered to be direct or incremental to the proceeds raised in connection with the Business Combination and PIPE Financing totaling approximately $21.9 million, consisting of costs incurred by RACA prior to the completion of the Business Combination as well as investment banker, legal, audit, tax, accounting and listing fees. These amounts are reflected within additional paid-in capital in the interim condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Summary of net proceeds
The following table summarizes the elements of the net proceeds from the Business Combination:
Recapitalization | |||||
Cash - RACA Trust and cash (net of redemptions) | 121,770,367 | ||||
Cash - PIPE Financing | 165,000,000 | ||||
Less: Underwriting fees, costs incurred by RACA and other direct and incremental costs | (21,887,685) | ||||
Net proceeds from the Business Combination, net of costs incurred by RACA and direct and incremental costs paid per the statement of cash flows | 264,882,682 |
The net proceeds noted above exclude approximately $4.7 million in transaction costs that were not considered direct and incremental to the raising of capital. These costs consist of corporate expenses in the normal course of business comprised of accounting, consulting, insurance and board retainer fees. These costs were recorded as incurred in accordance with the nature of the services received.

The primary objective of our investment portfolio is to maintain safety of principal balances, provide sufficient levels of liquidity and enhance overall returns in an efficient manner with acceptable levels of risk. Our investment policy limits interest-bearing security investments to certain types of debt and money market instruments issued by institutions with primarily investment-grade credit ratings, and it places restrictions on maturities and concentration by asset class and issuer.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had $nil and $nil realized gains or losses, respectively, on available-for-sale investments.
5. Fair value measurements
We measure fair value based on the prices that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based on a three-tier hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. These tiers include the following:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data. These inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted market prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
The following tables present information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2022 that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the level of the fair value hierarchy used to determine such fair values (in thousands):

Total | $ | 162,237,952 | $ | 123,709,495 | $ | — | $ | 285,947,447 |
Certain of our available-for-sale debt securities, including U.S. Government agency debt securities, are valued using inputs observable in active markets for identical securities and are therefore classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
We did not have any financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2022.
There have been no transfers of assets or liabilities between the fair value measurement levels.

On July 2020, the Company purchased land and a building in Indianapolis, Indiana (which has been expanded to approximately 81,000 square feet) for the purpose of retrofitting the existing building into a state-of-the-art, Good Manufacturing Practices ("GMP") compliant facility that will support the Company’s drug manufacturing operations. The purchase of the property was financed by a mortgage that was repaid on July 29, 2021 (see Note 9).
The Company commenced the manufacture of clinical supply in the Indianapolis manufacturing facility in January 2022, however, construction continues on the facility to expand capacity. The Company has determined this to be the date upon which its property, plant and equipment was available for its intended use. Property, plant and equipment that have finite lives are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is expensed from the month the particular asset is available for its intended use, using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of such asset at the following rates, which in each case are intended to reduce the carrying value of the asset to the estimated residual value:

9. Mortgage payable
On July 10, 2020, the Company obtained a mortgage loan in the amount of $3,562,500 (the “Mortgage”) for the purpose of purchasing its manufacturing facility and related land located in Indianapolis, Indiana (the “Property”) (see Note 7). The Mortgage was collateralized by a first charge over the Property. As part of the financing the Company incurred $17,194 of costs and fees from the lender that were capitalized and recorded as finance costs over the life of the Mortgage. On July 29, 2021, the Mortgage on the manufacturing facility in Indianapolis, Indiana was repaid and the related mortgage on the Company's facility in Indianapolis, Indiana was released.
Prior to its repayment, the Mortgage bore interest at 2.85% plus a minimum rate of 1-month LIBOR, subject to a LIBOR floor of 0.25%. The Mortgage required quarterly interest payments, which commenced on October 1, 2020, with the principal amount originally due at maturity on January 10, 2022.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded $8,590 and $63,195, respectively, of interest costs which were capitalized within property, in development, and recorded amortization of debt issuance costs of $6,178 and $11,840, respectively, through finance costs.
10. Stockholders’ equity
The Company is authorized to issue 430,000,000 shares of Common Stock, with a par value of $0.0001 per share, as well as 20,000,000 of shares of preferred stock, with a par value of $0.0001 per share (“Preferred Stock”). The figures below are presented giving effect to a retroactive application of the Business Combination which resulted in a conversion of the previous POINT Biopharma Inc. common shares to shares of Common Stock of the Company at a conversion ratio of approximately 3.59:1. The par value of previous POINT Biopharma Inc. common shares was $0.001. See Note 3 for additional details.
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company (a) issued 13,900,000 shares of Common Stock in connection with an underwritten public share offering at the price of $9.00 per share pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 previously filed and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, resulting in total gross proceeds of $125.1 million (excluding approximately $8.2 million of issuance costs) and (b) issued 30,000 shares of Common Stock in connection with the exercise of stock options granted to a non-employee consultant, resulting in total cash proceeds of $41,700. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company issued 13,933,168 shares of Common Stock, including the 13,930,000 shares of Common Stock discussed above. The Company issued 3,168 shares of Common Stock in connection with the exercise of stock options issued to non-employee consultants, resulting in total cash proceeds of $4,403.
During the three months ended September 30, 2021, there were no issuances of Common Stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company (a) issued 32,539,769 shares of Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination and PIPE Financing (see Note 3), resulting in total cash proceeds of $264.9 million and (b) issued 800,000 shares of common stock of POINT Biopharma Inc. (exchanged for 2,869,799 shares of Common Stock) in connection with the exercise of warrants and 18,000 shares of common stock of POINT Biopharma Inc. (exchanged for 64,570 shares of Common Stock) in connection with the exercise of stock options issued to a non-employee consultant, resulting in total cash proceeds of $20.5 million.
As of September 30, 2022, the number of total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock was 104,054,962 (December 31, 2021 – 90,121,794). As of September 30, 2022, there were no issued and outstanding shares of Preferred Stock (December 31, 2021 — nil).

Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders. Common stockholders are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be declared by the Company’s board of directors. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, no cash dividends were declared or paid by the Company (September 30, 2021 — $nil).
The Company’s board of directors has the authority to issue shares of Preferred Stock from time to time on terms it may determine, to divide shares of Preferred Stock into one or more series and to fix the designations, preferences, privileges, and restrictions of Preferred Stock, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preference, sinking fund terms, and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of any series to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, no shares of Preferred Stock were issued by the Company (September 30, 2021 — nil).
11. Stock-based compensation
In March 2020, the board of directors of POINT Biopharma Inc. approved the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 EIP”). The 2020 EIP provided for the granting of incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, performance awards and other stock-based awards to employees, directors, and consultants of POINT Biopharma Inc. Effective as of June 30, 2021, in connection with the Business Combination, the Company’s board of directors adopted the POINT Biopharma Global Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 EIP”) to replace the 2020 EIP and allow the Company to grant equity and equity-based incentive awards to officers, employees, non-employee directors and consultants of the Company. Upon the closing of the Business Combination, the Company assumed the outstanding equity awards under the 2020 EIP and each outstanding option to acquire common shares of POINT Biopharma Inc. (whether vested or unvested) under the 2020 EIP was substituted with a substantially equivalent option to acquire shares of Common Stock of the Company based on the conversion ratio for the POINT Biopharma Inc. common shares in the Business Combination and remained outstanding under the 2020 EIP. No further grants may be made under the 2020 EIP. The 2021 EIP provides that the number of shares reserved and available for issuance under the 2021 EIP will automatically increase each January 1, beginning on January 1, 2022, by 4% of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock on the immediately preceding December 31, or such lesser amount as determined by the Company's board of directors. As of January 1, 2022, the number of shares of Common Stock available under the 2021 EIP increased by 3,604,871 for a total of 7,976,452 shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 2021 EIP as of September 30, 2022.
The Company concluded that the replacement stock options issued in connection with the Business Combination did not require accounting for effects of the modification under the ASC 718 – Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) as it was concluded that (a) the fair value of the modified award is the same as the fair value of the original award immediately before the original award was modified, (b) there are no changes to the vesting conditions of the award, and (c) there is no change to the classification of the award.
The Company recorded $476,481 and $1,220,426 to research and development expense and $602,575 and $1,326,643 to general and administrative expenses for stock-based compensation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively (September 30, 2021 — $222,135 and $1,650,804 to research and development expense and $125,982 and $281,015 to general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended, respectively). The Company did not recognize a tax benefit related to stock-based compensation expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, as the Company had net operating losses carryforwards and recorded a valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset.
The following table summarizes the activity relating to the Company’s stock options. The below stock option figures are presented giving effect to a retroactive application of the Business Combination which resulted in a replacement of the previous POINT Biopharma Inc. stock options with stock options of the Company, as described above, at a conversion ratio of approximately 3.59:1. In addition, the exercise price for each replacement stock option is also adjusted using the ratio of approximately 3.59:1. See Note 3 for additional details:

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, there were no stock options granted. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, 1,948,614 stock options were granted to employees and directors of the Company, with a weighted average grant date fair value of $4.59. The vesting terms of these options are such that 25% of the options vest on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant and the remaining 75% of such stock options vest ratably over the remaining three years. On June 6, 2022, the terms of 128,070 stock options granted to directors of the Company were amended to reduce the vesting period to one year. This amendment was accounted for as a modification and there was no material impact to stock-based compensation recorded.
During the three months ended September 30, 2021, 1,004,959 stock options were granted to employees and directors of the Company, with a weighted average grant date fair value of $4.70. The vesting terms of these options are such that 25% of the options vest on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant and the remaining 75% of such stock options vest ratably over the remaining three years. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, 1,363,683 stock options were granted, including the 1,004,959 stock options discussed above as well as 358,724 stock options granted to a non-employee consultant of the Company, with a weighted average grant date fair value of $3.89. The vesting terms of the grant to the non-employee consultant were such that 25% of the options vested immediately upon grant, 10% of the options were initially to vest in a year following the grant and the remaining options were initially to vest based on certain performance milestones. Upon completion of the Business Combination, the remaining 269,043 unvested stock options immediately vested and all remaining unrecognized stock-based compensation expense associated with these stock options was recorded.

License agreements
The Company in the normal course of business enters into license and sublicense agreements in connection with its clinical trials and product development. For additional details of the Company’s license agreements, see Note 13 in the 2021 Financial Statements.
On May 6, 2022, POINT Biopharma Inc. entered into a fourth amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to that certain Exclusive Sublicense Agreement, dated April 2, 2020, between POINT Biopharma Inc. and Bach Biosciences, LLC, (“Bach Biosciences”). Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, the Company and Bach Biosciences agreed to remove all regulatory and sales milestones which would have been payable from the Company to Bach Biosciences, as well as to reduce the royalty rate payable by Company to Bach Biosciences by fifty percent (one-half). In signing the Fourth Amendment, the Company agreed to pay a one-time amendment fee to Bach Biosciences of $2.0 million, and to extend the duration of the Company’s sponsored research relationship relating to the generation of new FAPi-targeting drugs with Bach Biosciences and Tufts Medical School by an additional (2) years at the current sponsorship rate.

13. Net loss per share
Basic loss earnings per share is computed by dividing the loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of Common Stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued, using the treasury stock method. The below figures are presented giving effect to a retroactive application of the Business Combination which resulted in a conversion of the previous POINT Biopharma Inc. common shares to shares of Common Stock of the Company at a conversion ratio of approximately 3.59:1. See Note 3.
Three months ended September 30, 2022 | Three months ended September 30, 2021 | Nine months ended September 30, 2022 | Nine months ended September 30, 2021 | ||||||||||||||||||||
Net loss attributable to common stockholders | $ | 24,013,069 | $ | 17,116,632 | $ | 64,973,890 | $ | 31,705,711 | |||||||||||||||
Weighted-average common shares outstanding-basic and diluted | 92,401,484 | 90,121,794 | 90,891,031 | 68,317,492 | |||||||||||||||||||
Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders-basic and diluted | $ | 0.26 | $ | 0.19 | $ | 0.71 | $ | 0.46 |
The Company’s potentially dilutive securities, which include stock options and warrants, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share. Therefore, the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same.
14. Income Taxes
The Company has operations in both the United States and Canada, as such it is subject to tax in both countries. The income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 was $180,500 and $81,044 respectively, and the income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 was $452,021 and $245,251 respectively, each primarily in respect of current taxes in Canada. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had no uncertain tax positions (December 31, 2021 — $nil).
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal, certain state, and Canada with varying statutes of limitations. The Company is not currently subject to tax examinations by any taxing jurisdiction. However, in the event of any such examination of its tax years 2020 and 2021, there may or may not be an impact on the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards and credits. The Company does not anticipate that any potential tax adjustments resulting from such examinations would have a significant impact on its financial position or results of operations.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was passed into law. The CARES Act includes several significant business tax provisions including modification to the taxable income limitation for utilization of net operating losses incurred in 2020 and 2021, an increase to the limitation on deductibility of certain business interest expense, bonus depreciation for purchases of qualified improvement property and special deductions on certain corporate charitable contributions. The Company analyzed the provisions of the CARES Act and determined there was no impact to its income tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Pursuant to the First Amendment, the Parties agreed to amend POINT’s royalty obligation under the CanProbe Agreement from a direct percentage of Net Sales by Sublicensee (each as defined in the CanProbe Agreement) to now including royalty payments received by POINT from Sublicensees as part of its very low double digit sublicense income sharing obligation on all payments received from Sublicensees, subject to a minimum of a low single digit royalty based on Net Sales of the Sublicensee. In addition, the definition of products for which royalties would be owed by POINT or for which sublicense income would be shared by POINT was amended to include all Lutetium-177 Octreotate products.
On November 11, 2022, POINT entered into the PNT2002 Agreement and the PNT2003 Agreement (collectively the "Agreements") with affiliates of Lantheus pursuant to which Lantheus was granted exclusive world-wide licenses (excluding certain countries in Asia) to commercialize the Company's PNT2002 and PNT2003 late-stage product radiopharmaceutical therapies. The closings of the Agreements are conditional upon, among other things, Hart-Scott-Rodino antitrust clearance and customary closing conditions which are expected to be satisfied in the first half of 2023.

In the event Lantheus sub-licenses the product outside the U.S., POINT will be entitled to 40 percent of all sublicense income (i.e., up-front, milestone and royalty payments) received by Lantheus.
In addition, POINT will also be entitled to milestone payments upon European Union (“EU”), Middle East and Africa approval of $25 million for the EU, $4 million for the Middle East and $2 million for any African country.
POINT will be responsible for completing the SPLASH trial and the parties will work together to file the New Drug Application (“NDA”) with the costs incurred in connection with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") submission being borne by Lantheus. Thereafter, Lantheus will be responsible for all additional clinical and regulatory costs in the U.S., as well as all costs for development, clinical trials and regulatory approval in the rest of its territories outside the U.S., except Asia.
In connection with the PNT2003 Agreement, and subject to customary closing conditions, the Company will receive an up-front payment of $10 million, a regulatory milestone payment upon FDA approval of up to $30 million, net sales milestone payments of up to $275 million on various Lantheus annual net sales milestones, and a royalty rate of 15 percent of net sales.

Overview
Introduction
We are a globally focused radiopharmaceutical company building a platform for the clinical development and commercialization of radioligands that fight cancer. We have a pipeline of product candidates and early-stage development programs, in-house manufacturing capabilities, and a secured supply for rare medical isotopes like Actinium-225 ("225Ac") and Lutetium-177 ("177Lu").
Our team brings decades of combined experience in radiopharmaceutical clinical development and manufacturing. In a space where supply chain is often overlooked, the Company has carved out a unique advantage for itself: a 100% Company-owned facility, located in Indianapolis, Indiana, which includes an office space occupying 10,500 square feet and a manufacturing facility occupying 70,200 square feet, and which we believe has the capacity for expansion to commercially supply both North America and Europe with large volumes. Furthermore, management has leveraged their prior relationships to assemble resilient radioisotope supply chains for the Company, which even includes manufacturing the Company's own n.c.a. 177Lu isotope in-house.
Our predecessor was incorporated on September 18, 2019 as POINT Theranostics Inc. under the DGCL and subsequently amended its name to “POINT Biopharma Inc.” on November 22, 2019. Subsequent to the Business Combination, POINT Biopharma Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of POINT Biopharma Global Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “POINT” or the “Company”) on June 30, 2021.
Business Combination
On June 30, 2021, we consummated the Business Combination with POINT Biopharma Inc., pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of March 15, 2021, by and among Therapeutics Acquisition Corp. ("RACA"), Bodhi Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of RACA ("Merger Sub"), and POINT Biopharma Inc. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, on the closing date, (i) Merger Sub merged with and into POINT Biopharma Inc., with POINT Biopharma Inc. as the surviving company in the Business Combination as a wholly-owned subsidiary of RACA and (ii) RACA changed its name to “POINT Biopharma Global Inc.”
In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, at the effective time of the Business Combination, (i) each share and vested equity award of POINT Biopharma Inc. outstanding as of immediately prior to the effective time was exchanged for shares of the Common Stock of POINT or comparable vested equity awards that are exercisable for shares of Common Stock, as applicable, based on an implied POINT Biopharma Inc. vested equity value of $585.0 million (which results in a conversion ratio of approximately 3.59:1); (ii) all unvested equity awards of
21
POINT Biopharma Inc. were exchanged for comparable unvested equity awards that are exercisable for shares of Common Stock, determined based on the same exchange ratio at which the vested equity awards were exchanged for shares of Common Stock; and (iii) each share of Class A Common Stock of RACA and each share of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of RACA that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time became one share of Common Stock following the consummation of the Business Combination.
In addition, concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, on March 15, 2021, RACA entered into Subscription Agreements with certain investors (the "PIPE Investors"), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and RACA agreed to issue and sell to the PIPE Investors, an aggregate of 16,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at a price of $10.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $165.0 million (the "PIPE Financing"). The PIPE Financing was consummated concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination. We received net proceeds of approximately $260.0 million consisting of proceeds of the PIPE Financing and the proceeds remaining in RACA’s trust account. Transaction costs of approximately $27.0 million consisted of investment banker, legal, audit, tax, accounting, consulting, insurance, board retainer fees and listing fees.
Recent Developments
License agreements
On November 11, 2022, POINT entered into two License and Collaboration Agreements with affiliates of Lantheus Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:LNTH) ("Lantheus") pursuant to which Lantheus was granted exclusive world-wide licenses (excluding certain countries in Asia) to commercialize the Company's PNT2002 and PNT2003 late-stage product radiopharmaceutical therapies (such agreements, respectively, the “PNT2002 Agreement” and the “PNT2003 Agreement” and collectively, the “Agreements”). The closings of the Agreements are conditional upon, among other things, Hart-Scott-Rodino antitrust clearance and customary closing conditions which are expected to be satisfied in the first half of 2023.
In connection with the PNT2002 Agreement, and subject to the closing conditions noted above, POINT will receive an up-front payment of $250 million and a regulatory milestone payment upon FDA approval of up to $250 million. POINT will also receive up to an additional $530 million on various Lantheus annual net sales milestones up to $600 million, plus up to an additional $750 million in payments on various Lantheus annual net sales in excess of $600 million. Once certain financial thresholds have been achieved, POINT will receive a royalty rate of 20 percent on all net sales. In the event Lantheus sub-licenses the product outside the U.S., POINT will be entitled to 40 percent of all sublicense income (i.e., up-front, milestone and royalty payments) received by Lantheus.
In addition, POINT will also be entitled to milestone payments upon European Union (“EU”), Middle East and Africa approval of $25 million for the EU, $4 million for the Middle East and $2 million for any African country.
POINT will be responsible for completing the SPLASH trial and the parties will work together to file the New Drug Application (“NDA”) with the costs incurred in connection with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") submission being borne by Lantheus. Thereafter, Lantheus will be responsible for all additional clinical and regulatory costs in the U.S., as well as all costs for development, clinical trials and regulatory approval in the rest of its territories outside the U.S., except Asia.
In connection with the PNT2003 Agreement, and subject to customary closing conditions, the Company will receive an up-front payment of $10 million, a regulatory milestone payment upon FDA approval of up to $30 million, net sales milestone payments of up to $275 million on various Lantheus annual net sales milestones, and a royalty rate of 15 percent of net sales. In the event Lantheus sub-licenses the product outside the U.S., POINT will be entitled to 40 percent of all sublicense income (i.e., up-front, milestone and royalty payments) received by Lantheus. Any costs incurred in connection with the FDA submission and development costs will be the responsibility of Lantheus. For any sublicensing of PNT2003, POINT is obligated to pay the original sublicensor of PNT2003 a low double digit percent royalty fee on any upfront and milestone payments and a low-single digit percent royalty fee based on such sub-licensing royalties.
In addition, POINT will also be entitled to milestone payments upon EU, Middle East and Africa approval of $2.5 million for the EU, $1 million for the Middle East and $1 million for any African country.
POINT and Lantheus also expect to enter into a Manufacture and Supply Agreement pursuant to which the Company will manufacture the PNT2002 and PNT2003 licensed products.

PNT2002: 177Lu-based PSMA-targeted radiopharmaceutical
In September 2022, the Company published a poster at ESMO Congress 2022 containing efficacy and safety data from the 27-patient safety and dosimetry lead-in cohort for the Company’s phase 3 SPLASH trial (NCT04647526) evaluating PNT2002 for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The poster was titled “Efficacy and Safety of 177Lu-PNT2002 prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) Therapy in Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC): Initial Results from SPLASH” (e-Poster #1400P). Key findings include a median rPFS time of 11.5 months, along with a well-tolerated safety profile with no treatment-related deaths and few treatment-related adverse events of grade 3 or higher.
The SPLASH trial is currently enrolling patients across 55 sites in North America, Europe, and United Kingdom, and recruitment is expected to be completed by the end of the calendar year. The Company continues to expect to report top line data from SPLASH in mid-2023.
PNT2004: fibroblast activation protein-alpha (FAP-alpha) inhibitor
The phase 1 FRONTIER trial (NCT05432193) for the Company’s pan-cancer fibroblast activation protein-α (FAP-α) targeted program, PNT2004, commenced in July 2022. FRONTIER is evaluating PNT6555 (the lead candidate of PNT2004) in approximately 30 patients in five FAP-avid cancer indications: colorectal, pancreatic, esophageal, melanoma, and soft tissue sarcomas. A gallium-68 (68Ga)-based PNT6555 molecular imaging agent is being used to select patients for the study, those selected then receive a no-carrier-added (n.c.a.) lutetium-177 (177Lu)-based PNT6555 therapeutic agent.
The primary objective of the study is to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), as guided by a modified toxicity probability interval-2 design. Phase 1 data from FRONTIER is expected in H1 2024.
PNT2001: 225Ac-labelled next-generation PSMA-targeted radiopharmaceutical
In October 2022, POINT published promising new pre-clinical data from the Company’s next-generation radioligand therapy (RLT) program for prostate cancer, PNT2001. The new PNT2001 data were shared in E-poster #039, “Development and characterization of a next-generation 225Ac-PMSA radioligand,” at the 35th Annual Congress of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) in Barcelona, Spain. The Company is targeting an IND/CTA submission for PNT2001 in H1 2023, with the first patient expected for a phase 1 clinical trial by EOY 2023.
Corporate Updates
In September 2022, the Company closed a previously announced underwritten public offering of 13,900,000 shares of Common Stock at a public offering price of $9.00 per share. Subsequent to closing, the underwriter exercised its option to purchase an additional 1,589,779 shares. The gross proceeds to the Company from the offering, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses, were approximately $140 million.
Risks & Liquidity
Drug research and development is very expensive and involves a high degree of risk. Only a small number of research and development programs result in the commercialization of a product. We will not generate revenue from product sales unless and until we successfully complete clinical development and are able to obtain regulatory approval for and successfully commercialize the product candidates we are currently developing or may develop. We currently do not have any product candidates approved for commercial sale.
Our product candidates, currently under development or that we may develop, will require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive clinical testing and regulatory approval prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel infrastructure and extensive compliance and reporting capabilities. There can be no assurance that our research and development activities will be successfully completed, that adequate protection for our licensed or developed technology will be obtained and maintained, that products developed will obtain necessary regulatory approval or that any approved products will be commercially viable.
If we obtain regulatory approval for one or more of our product candidates, we expect to incur significant expenses related to developing our commercialization capabilities to support product sales, marketing, and distribution activities, either alone or in collaboration with others. Further, as a public company following the Business Combination, we have incurred and expect to continue incurring additional costs associated with operating as a public company. As a result, we will require substantial additional funding to support our continuing operations and pursue our growth strategy.
23
We have incurred significant net losses since our inception and have relied on the ability to fund operations through equity financings. We expect to continue to incur significant operating and net losses, as well as negative cash flows from operations, for the foreseeable future as we continue to complete clinical trials for our products and prepare for potential future regulatory approvals and commercialization of our products, if approved. We have not generated any revenue to date and do not expect to generate product revenue unless and until we successfully complete development and obtain regulatory approval for at least one of our product candidates.
On September 16, 2022, we issued 13,900,000 shares of Common Stock in connection with a public share offering at the price of $9.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $117.3 million (excluding $0.4 million of issuance costs incurred in connection with filing the S-3, as defined below) and on October 3, 2022, we issued an additional 1,589,779 shares of Common Stock at a public offering price of $9.00 per share for net proceeds to the Company of approximately $13.4 million as a result of an underwriters exercising their option to purchase additional shares pursuant to the underwriting agreement.
We believe that our available resources and existing cash and investments, which include the net proceeds from the Business Combination, PIPE Financing and recent issuance of Common Stock, are sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the fourth quarter of 2024.
As losses continue to be incurred, we are subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, successful discovery and development of our product candidates, development by competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, the ability to attract and retain qualified employees, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with governmental regulations, the impact of macroeconomic disruptions, such as those arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russo-Ukrainian conflict, the ability to secure additional capital to fund operations and commercial success of our product candidates. Product candidates currently under development will require extensive preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel, and infrastructure and extensive compliance-reporting capabilities. Even if our drug development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, we will realize significant revenue from product sales.
We anticipate that our expenses will increase significantly in connection with our ongoing activities, as we:
•advance our clinical-stage product candidates: 177Lu-PNT2003 and 177Lu-PNT2002 through clinical development;
•advance our preclinical stage product candidates: 177Lu-PNT2004, 177Lu-PNT2001, along with candidates developed with our CanSEEKTM Prodrug Platform into clinical development;
•seek to identify, acquire, and develop additional product candidates, including through business development efforts to invest in or in-license other technologies or product candidates;
•hire additional clinical, quality control, medical, scientific, and other technical personnel to support our clinical operations;
•expand our operational, financial and management systems and increase personnel to support our operations;
•meet the requirements and demands of being a public company;
•maintain, expand, and protect our intellectual property portfolio;
•make milestone, royalty, or other payments due under various in-license or collaboration agreements;
•seek regulatory approvals for any product candidates that successfully complete clinical trials; and
•undertake any pre-commercialization activities to establish sales, marketing, and distribution capabilities for any product candidates for which we may receive regulatory approval in regions where we choose to commercialize our products on our own or jointly with third parties.
COVID-19 Pandemic and other geopolitical events
The COVID-19 pandemic, which was declared by the World Health Organization as a pandemic in March 2020 and has since spread worldwide, has caused many governments to implement measures to slow the spread of the outbreak through quarantines, travel restrictions, heightened border security and other measures. COVID-19 continues to have an impact on the global economy as well as businesses and capital markets around the world. The future progression of the pandemic and its effects on our business and operations are uncertain.
In response to public health directives and orders and to help minimize the risk of the virus to employees, we have taken precautionary measures, including implementing work-from-home policies, mandatory vaccination, masking and weekly testing for certain employees. The impact of the virus, including work-from-home policies, may negatively impact
24
productivity, disrupt our business, and delay our preclinical research and clinical trial activities and our development program timelines, the magnitude of which will depend, in part, on the length and severity of the restrictions and other limitations on our ability to conduct our business in the ordinary course. Specifically, we may not be able to fulfill enrollment expectations on our planned timeline or visit clinics to conduct on-site monitoring due to disruptions at our clinical trial sites. We are currently unable to predict when potential disruptions to our clinical programs resulting from the pandemic will resolve. Other impacts to our business may include temporary closures of our suppliers and disruptions or restrictions on our employees’ ability to travel. Any prolonged material disruption to our employees or suppliers could adversely impact our preclinical research and clinical trial activities, financial condition and results of operations, including our ability to obtain financing.
Additionally, financial markets may be adversely affected by the current or anticipated impact of military conflict, including escalating military fighting between Russia and Ukraine, terrorism or other geopolitical events. The U.S. and other nations in response to the Russo-Ukrainian conflict have announced economic sanctions which may have an adverse effect on the global financial markets. Further, general macroeconomic trends, including rising inflation rates, sustained supply chain disruptions, and any resulting recession, depression or other sustained adverse market event could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and the value of our Common Stock.
We are monitoring the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the potential impact of the Russo-Ukrainian conflict and other macroeconomic events on our business and consolidated financial statements. To date, we have not experienced any material business disruptions or incurred any impairment losses in the carrying values of our assets as a result of these events and we are not aware of any specific related event or circumstance that would require us to revise our estimates reflected in the Q3 2022 Financial Statements.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, the increase in research and development expense was primarily due to increases in (a) costs incurred in clinical trials and contract manufacturing as we continue to increase the scale of our trials and operations, (b) personnel costs as the Company continues to expand its research and development headcount, most notably in our Indianapolis manufacturing facility and (c) depreciation and overhead related to our manufacturing facility. This was partially offset by decreased costs associated with our licensing agreements and related sponsored research in connection with our product candidates both preclinical and clinical, which required up-front payments in the prior year period. Although the Company does not currently track its research and development expenditures by product, it intends to begin tracking such expenditures by product in the near future.
General and administrative
General and administrative expenses were relatively flat for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, as the Company incurred certain increased legal, consulting and professional fees in the prior year period in connection with the having become a publicly traded company.
Other Income (Expenses)
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, other income (expenses) consist mainly of (a) interest and other income earned on the Company's cash, cash equivalents and investments, partially offset by (b) a foreign exchange loss primarily associated with foreign currency transactions occurring within the Company’s Canadian subsidiary. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, other expenses mainly consisted of accretion expense related to the amortization of capitalized transaction costs in connection with our previous mortgage payable which was partially offset by a foreign exchange gain associated with foreign currency transactions primarily occurring within the Company’s Canadian subsidiary.
Income Tax Expense
For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, income tax expense consisted primarily of taxes owing in Canada in relation to taxable income generated through management and research and development services performed by the Canadian subsidiary of the Company.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the increase in research and development expense was due to the same or substantially the same reasons as discussed in connection with the three month results of operations above. Although the Company does not currently track its research and development expenditures by product, it intends to begin tracking such expenditures by product in the near future.
General and administrative
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increased (a) personnel costs as the Company continues to expand its finance, information technology, human resources and other administrative headcount, and (b) insurance, legal, professional and consulting services, each in support of the growth in scale of the operations of the Company.
27
Other Income (Expenses)

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity and Capital
We have incurred significant net losses since the Company’s inception and currently rely on the proceeds for the Business Combination to fund our operations. Operating losses and negative cash flows from operations and investing activities are expected to continue for the foreseeable future. As losses continue to be incurred, we are subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, successful discovery and development of our product candidates, development by competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, the ability to attract and retain qualified employees, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with governmental regulations, the impact of COVID-19, the ability to secure additional capital to fund operations and commercial success of our product candidates. Product candidates currently under development will require extensive preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel, and infrastructure and extensive compliance-reporting capabilities. Even if our drug development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, we will realize significant revenue from product sales.
Net losses totaled $24.0 million and $17.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively and $65.0 million and $31.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
On January 28, 2021, warrants for the purchase of common shares of POINT Biopharma Inc. were exercised resulting in net proceeds of $20.0 million. On June 30, 2021, we received net proceeds of approximately $260.0 million in connection with the Business Combination consisting of proceeds of the PIPE Financing and the proceeds remaining in RACA’s trust account. On September 16, 2022, we issued 13,900,000 shares of Common Stock in connection with a public share offering at the price of $9.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $117.3 million, excluding certain costs incurred in connection with the S-3. We intend to use the net proceeds from these transactions for general corporate purposes, funding of development programs, payment of milestones pursuant to our license agreements, general and administrative expenses, licensing of additional product candidates and to support our working capital needs.
Future Funding Requirements
Our primary use of cash is to fund operating expenses, primarily related to our research and development activities. Cash used to fund operating expenses is impacted by the timing of when we pay these expenses, as reflected in the change in our outstanding accounts payable, accrued expenses and prepaid expenses.
We expect to continue to incur significant and increasing expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future. We may require additional capital to meet operational needs and capital requirements for clinical trials, other research and development expenditures, and business development activities. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development and commercialization of our product candidates, we are unable to estimate the amounts of increased capital outlays and operating expenditures associated with our current and anticipated clinical trials and preclinical studies.
Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:
•the scope, progress, results and costs of researching and developing our current product candidates, as well as other additional product candidates we may develop and pursue in the future;
28
•the timing of, and the costs involved in, obtaining marketing approvals for our product candidates and any other additional product candidates we may develop and pursue in the future;
•the number of future product candidates that we may pursue and their development requirements;
•subject to receipt of regulatory approval, the costs of commercialization activities for our product candidates, to the extent such costs are not the responsibility of any future collaborators, including the costs and timing of establishing product sales, marketing, distribution, and manufacturing capabilities;
•subject to receipt of regulatory approval, revenue, if any, received from commercial sales of our product candidates or any other additional product candidates we may develop and pursue in the future;
•the achievement of milestones that trigger payments under our various license agreements;
•the extent to which we in-license or acquire rights to other products, product candidates or technologies;
•our ability to establish collaboration arrangements for the development of our product candidates on favorable terms, if at all;
•our headcount growth and associated costs as we expand our research and development and establish a commercial infrastructure;
•the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and protecting our intellectual property rights, including enforcing and defending intellectual property related claims; and
•the costs of operating as a public company.
As of September 30, 2022, we had cash, cash equivalents and investments of approximately $291.5 million. We expect that our cash, cash equivalents and investments are sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the fourth quarter of 2024. We have based this estimate on current assumptions that may change or prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we expect.
On July 11, 2022 the SEC declared effective our shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the “S-3”) that allows the Company to offer and sell to the public up to $400.0 million of our Common Stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants to purchase our Common Stock, preferred stock or debt securities, subscription rights to purchase our Common Stock, preferred stock or debt securities and/or units consisting of some or all of these securities, from time to time in one or more offerings. The details of any future offerings, along with the use of proceeds from any securities offered, will be described in a prospectus supplement or other offering materials, at the time of offering. Also covered under the S-3 as part of the $400.0 million total amount is an at-the-market offering (“ATM”) of up to $150.0 million of our Common Stock pursuant to a distribution agreement with Piper Sandler & Co. No shares of Common Stock were issued in connection with the ATM as at September 30, 2022. Pursuant to the S-3, on September 16, 2022 we issued 13,900,000 shares of Common Stock in connection with a public share offering at the price of $9.00 per share or $125.1 million, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $117.3 million, excluding certain transaction costs incurred in connection with filing the S-3.
Until such time as we can generate substantial product revenue, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, our stockholders' ownership interest will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect rights of our stockholders. Debt financing and preferred 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 acquisitions or capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or drug candidates, or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings or other arrangements when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our research, product development or future commercialization efforts, or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.
Going Concern
We assess and determine our ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern. We have determined that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
29
Working Capital
Working capital is defined as current assets less current liabilities.
The following table summarizes our total working capital and current assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:
As of September 30, 2022 | As of December 31, 2021 | Change | |||||||||||||||||||||

Total working capital | 279,622,602 | 235,866,592 | 43,756,010 | 18.6 | % |
The increase in working capital as of September 30, 2022, primarily reflects proceeds of approximately $116.9 million from the issuance of Common Stock net of approximately $8.2 million of transaction costs, which also includes certain costs incurred in connection with filing the S-3. This is partially offset by cash used for (a) operating expenses, including, personnel costs and research and development costs as we advance our clinical trials and continue to expand our pipeline, and (b) capital expenditures for equipment and machinery used in our manufacturing facility in Indiana.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
This management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our Q3 2022 Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, POINT Biopharma Inc., POINT Biopharma Corp., POINT Biopharma USA, Inc. and West 78th Street, LLC, for financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
The preparation of the Q3 2022 Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Q3 2022 Financial Statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our 2021 Form 10-K.
ITEM 3. – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risks relating to our operations result primarily from interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk. As of September 30, 2022, there were no material changes to our market risks from the information provided in Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our 2021 Form 10-K.
Inflation generally affects us by increasing our cost of labor and clinical trial costs. We do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
ITEM 4. – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Such disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of September 30, 2022, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
31
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, based on the evaluation described above, as of September 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022 we continued to (i) adopt, improve and maintain policies, processes and documentation procedures to improve the overall efficiency and accuracy of our financial reporting; and (ii) we continued to work with third-party consultants to review the design of our systems of internal control over financial reporting and to recommend improvements. As part of this process, during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022, we continued to refine our processes in respect of our new general ledger system to improve our internal control framework.
Except as disclosed above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently aware of any such proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
ITEM 1A. – RISK FACTORS
Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are any of the risks and uncertainties described in our 2021 Form 10-K. If any of these risks are realized, our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operation.
As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to the risks and uncertainties disclosed in the 2021 Form 10-K except as amended and supplemented by the additional risk factor below. We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
We may be adversely affected by the effects of uncertainty in macroeconomic conditions such as rising inflation, supply chain disruptions and concerns regarding a potential global recession.
Our operations and performance depend on worldwide economic conditions. These conditions have been adversely impacted by continued global economic concerns over rising inflation rates, supply chain disruptions, a potential recession and other monetary and financial uncertainties. Rising inflation may adversely affect our liquidity, business, financial condition and results of operations by increasing our overall cost structure. The existence of inflation in the economy has resulted in, and may continue to result in, higher interest rates and capital costs, supply shortages, increased costs of labor, components, manufacturing and shipping, as well as weakening exchange rates and other similar effects. In response to recent inflationary pressure, the U.S. Federal Reserve and other global central banks have raised interest rates in 2022, and further interest rate increases are anticipated. These increases have led to concerns of a potential global recession. Any such events are likely to result in significant disruption of global financial markets, which may reduce our ability to access capital on favorable terms or at all. In addition, a recession, depression or other sustained adverse market event could materially and adversely affect our business and the value of our Common Stock. Although we may take measures to mitigate these events, if these measures are not effective, our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity could be materially adversely affected. Even if such measures are effective, there could be a difference between the timing of when these beneficial actions impact our results of operations and when the costs are incurred.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On November 8, 2022, we entered into a first amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Exclusive License and Commercialization Agreement (the “CanProbe Agreement”), dated December 16, 2020 between POINT; the Canadian Molecular Probe Consortium; the Centre for Probe Development and Commercialization; and The University Health Network, collectively the (“Parties”).

33
on all payments received from Sublicensees, subject to a minimum of a low single digit royalty based on Net Sales of the Sublicensee. In addition, the definition of products for which royalties would be owed by POINT or for which sublicense income would be shared by POINT was amended to include all Lutetium-177 Octreotate products.
On November 11, 2022, we entered into two License and Collaboration Agreements with affiliates of Lantheus Holdings, Inc.

In connection with the PNT2003 Agreement, and subject the satisfaction of certain closing conditions contained therein, the Company will receive an upfront, one-time, nonrefundable and non-creditable fee of $10 million, and may be eligible to receive (i) a regulatory milestone payment upon FDA approval of up to $30 million, as well as additional ex-U.S. regulatory milestone payments of up to $4.5 million; (ii) up to $275 million in potential total milestone payments based upon the achievement of specified net sales milestones; and (iii) royalties at a rate of 15 percent of net sales, including a percentage of sublicensing revenues received by Lantheus.
