1.Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

Rockley specializes in the research and development of integrated silicon photonics chipsets. Rockley has developed a versatile, application specific, third-generation silicon photonics platform specifically designed for the optical integration challenges facing numerous mega-trend markets. Rockley has partnered with multiple tier-1 customers across markets to deliver complex optical systems required for transformational sensors, communications, and medical product realization.

On August 11, 2021, Rockley Photonics Limited ("Legacy Rockley") completed a business combination (the "Business Combination") with SC Health Corporation, a special purpose acquisition company ("SC Health"), with Rockley Photonics Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries surviving the merger. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company became a publicly traded company listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "RKLY". For additional information on the Business Combination, please refer to Note 2, Business Combination, to these condensed consolidated financial statements. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in these notes to "Rockley", the "Company", "we", "us", or "our" and any related terms are intended to mean the post-Business Combination consolidated company, Rockley Photonics Holdings Limited, while "Legacy Rockley" and "SC Health" refers to the entities prior to the Business Combination.

Basis of Presentation and Preparation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and shareholders’ equity for the interim periods presented. The statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information. Accordingly, these statements do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full fiscal year or future operating periods.

We accounted for the Business Combination as a forward recapitalization in accordance with GAAP (the "Forward Recapitalization"). Under this method of accounting, SC Health was treated as the acquired company and Legacy Rockley was deemed to be the accounting acquirer for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Forward Recapitalization was treated as the equivalent of Legacy Rockley issuing stock for the net assets of SC Health, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of SC Health are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. The condensed consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations prior to the Forward Recapitalization are those of Legacy Rockley. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the combined company post-Forward Recapitalization represents the combined results of Rockley and SC Health beginning August 11, 2021, the date the Business Combination was consummated. The shares, corresponding capital amounts and earnings per share available for shareholders of Legacy Rockley, prior to the Business Combination, converted into the right to receive 2.4835 (the "Exchange Ratio") ordinary shares of Rockley Photonics Holdings Limited, par value $0.000004 (the "ordinary shares"). The recapitalization of the number of ordinary shares attributable to Legacy Rockley is reflected retroactively as shares reflecting the Exchange Ratio to the earliest period presented and is utilized for calculating earnings per share in all prior periods presented.

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, reserves and allowances; valuation of intangibles; product warranties; employee compensation and benefit accruals; stock-based compensation; loss contingencies; income taxes; fair value measurements; and warrant liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Management’s estimates include, as applicable, the anticipated impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Going Concern

The Company has incurred net losses since inception, has an accumulated deficit of $552.5 million as of September 30, 2022 and negative cash flow from operations of $117.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and expects to incur losses from operations for the foreseeable future. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and investments of $4.9 million. The Company’s ability to meet its obligations in the ordinary course of business is dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing. As a result, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date these financial statements are issued. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company's future liquidity needs, and ability to address those needs, will largely be determined by its ability to obtain additional financing on terms acceptable to us. The Company will continue to seek additional capital through the sale of debt or equity, or other arrangements, however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital when needed or under acceptable terms, if at all. The sale of additional equity may dilute existing shareholders. If the Company raises funds by issuing debt securities, these debt securities would have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to the holders of ordinary shares. Issued debt securities may contain covenants that limit the Company's ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to shareholders. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, operations may be scaled back or discontinued.

Global Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has nearly reached the three-year mark and our priority continues to be the health and safety of our employees. The overall recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic has been uneven and has presented many challenges and risks from general economic uncertainty, changes in consumer demand, disruption of supply chains and challenges with hiring, labor and supply cost inflation. We continue to provide greater levels of work flexibility to employees and maintain health and safety standards for employees meeting all regulatory requirements.

We continually evaluate the nature and extent of changes to the market and economic conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic and assess the potential impact on our business, financial results and overall financial position.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Modification of Equity Classified Written Call Options, to clarify and reduce diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options such as warrants that remain equity classified after modification or exchange based on consideration of the economic substance of the modification or exchange. ASU 2021-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832) Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance. This amendment in ASU 2021-10 aims to increase transparency about government assistance transactions that are not in the scope of other GAAP guidance. The ASU requires disclosure of the nature and significant terms and considerations of the transactions, the accounting policies used and the effects of those transactions. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2021-10 on a prospective basis. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2022.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued but Not Yet Adopted

Other recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

2.Business Combination

Table of Contents

ROCKLEY PHOTONICS HOLDINGS LIMITED

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

On August 11, 2021 (the "Closing Date"), Legacy Rockley, SC Health, and Rockley Mergersub Limited, an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), consummated the business combination contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 19, 2021 (the “Business Combination Agreement”). Immediately upon the consummation of the Business Combination, Legacy Rockley became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and Merger Sub merged with and into SC Health, with SC Health surviving the merger and becoming a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Subsequently, SC Health's ordinary shares and warrants ceased trading on the NYSE while the Company's ordinary shares and warrants began trading on the NYSE under the symbols “RKLY” and “RKLY.WS,” respectively.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, each of the following transactions occurred in the following order: (i) pursuant to a scheme of arrangement approved by the UK courts (the “Scheme”), on August 9, 2021, all of Legacy Rockley’s ordinary shares, including shares issued immediately prior to the Scheme becoming effective as a result of the conversion of then-outstanding convertible loan notes and the exercise of warrants, were transferred by Rockley shareholders in exchange for an equivalent number of shares in the Company; (ii) the holders of options over shares in Legacy Rockley rolled over their options into new options to purchase shares in the Company; (iii) warrants to purchase shares in Legacy Rockley (other than one warrant instrument that by its terms was replicated at the Company) not exercised for shares in Legacy Rockley prior to the effectiveness of the Scheme described above were cancelled, such that immediately following the Scheme, Legacy Rockley became a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company; (iv) the Company subsequently completed a stock-split to prepare its share capital for Merger Sub’s merger into SC Health; (v) certain accredited investors (including entities affiliated with the SC Health Sponsor) purchased an aggregate of 15.0 million ordinary shares for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, or an aggregate purchase price of $150.0 million; (vi) on August 11, 2021, Merger Sub was merged with and into SC Health, with SC Health surviving the merger and becoming a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company; and (vii) the ordinary shares and warrants in SC Health were exchanged for ordinary shares and warrants in the Company.

The Business Combination was accounted for as a forward recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, SC Health was treated as the acquired company and Legacy Rockley was deemed to be the accounting acquirer for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on the existing shareholders of Legacy Rockley obtaining a majority voting power in the Company, and as such, having the power to appoint a majority of the members of the Company’s board of directors (the "Board"); the operations of Legacy Rockley prior to the acquisition comprising the only ongoing operations of the combined entity based on the historical operating activity and employee base; and the senior management of Legacy Rockley comprising the majority of the senior management of the Company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of the Company represent a continuation of the financial statements of Legacy Rockley with the acquisition being treated as the equivalent of Legacy Rockley issuing stock for the net assets of SC Health, accompanied by a recapitalization.

As a result of the Business Combination, the Company incurred equity issuance costs and other costs considered direct and incremental to the transaction, totaling $45.5 million and consisting of legal, accounting, financial advisory and other professional fees. These amounts are reflected within additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021.

4.Equity Method Investment

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we held an investment in Hengtong Rockley Technology Co., Ltd (“HRT”). Two of HRT's five board members were appointed by Rockley. HRT manufactures and sells optical fiber transceivers based on silicon photonics chipsets. HRT has share capital consisting solely of ordinary shares. We hold 24.9% of HRT’s ordinary shares, and the same proportion of its voting rights. We consider HRT to be a variable interest entity upon which the Company does exercise significant influence. However, considering key factors, such as ownership interest, representation on the board of directors, and participation in policy-making decisions, the Company concluded it does not control the investment. Accordingly, the investment in HRT is accounted for under the equity method. We elected to use a three-month lag to record our share of HRT’s results.

The following table summarizes our investment in HRT for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 (in thousands):


Beginning balance, January 1, 2022	$	4,879

Ending balance, September 30, 2022	$	4,358

Our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement with HRT is limited to the balance of our investment.

5.Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

The accounting guidance for fair value measurements provides a framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis, whereby the inputs used in valuation techniques are assigned a hierarchical level. The following are the three levels of inputs to measure fair value:

Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2: Inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in less active markets; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect our own assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to measure fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

We consider an active market to be one in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis, and consider an inactive market to be one in which there are infrequent or few transactions for the asset or liability, the prices are not current, or price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers. Where appropriate, our own or the counterparty’s non-performance risk is considered in measuring the fair values of liabilities and assets, respectively.

Private Placement Warrants

The Company has determined that the Private Placement Warrants are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as the fair value is estimated using the Modified Black Scholes Option Pricing Model. The discussion on the accounting of the Private Placement Warrants is fully described in Note 5—"Fair Value Measurements", to the consolidated financial statements included in “Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on March 10, 2022.

The following table presents the changes in the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants (in thousands):

May Notes

On May 27, 2022, we issued $81.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Notes (the "May Notes") and detachable warrants (the "May 144A Warrants") to purchase approximately 26.5 million ordinary shares of the Company (see Note 7, Debt and Note 8, Warrants for details). At September 30, 2022, after accounting for conversions and additional issuances described further in Note 7—"Debt", the outstanding principal balance of the May Notes was $78.5 million .

At September 30, 2022, the fair value of the outstanding principal of the May Notes was $66.5 million which was measured using a lattice model (which is discussed in further detail below) with the following significant inputs:

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded a change in fair value of $19.6 million from the remeasurement of the May Notes, as follows (in thousands).


Fair value at May 27, 2022	$	50,487

Issuance discount	(505)

Add:
Issuance in-kind of May Notes for interest make-whole provision	1,706
Change in fair value	19,554
Fair value at September 30, 2022	$	66,492

Binomial Lattice Model

A lattice model was used to determine the fair value of the May Notes based on assumptions as to when the May Notes would be converted or redeemed at each decision point. Within the lattice model, the following assumptions were made: (i) each holder shall have the option to convert the May Notes to the Company's ordinary shares at a rate of 324.6753 (the "conversion rate") per $1,000 principal amount of May Notes prior to the close of the second trading date immediately preceding the maturity date; (ii) at any time prior to the maturity date, the Company may redeem the May Notes in an amount equal to the sum of the redemption price plus the redemption premium; (iii) the holders may surrender the May Notes subject to the optional redemption or tax redemption at any time prior to the close of business on the second trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; and (iv) upon any conversion, other than a conversion "in connection with" a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, Springing Repurchase Offer, a Make-Whole Redemption or a Tax Redemption, the Company will make an interest make-whole payment to the converting holder equal to the sum of the remaining scheduled payments of interest that would have been made on the May Notes to be converted had such May Notes remained outstanding from the conversion date to and including the maturity date. The lattice model uses the stock price, maturity date, risk-free rate, estimated stock volatility, and estimated credit spread. We remeasure the fair value of the debt instrument and record the change as a gain or loss from change in fair value of debt in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss for each reporting period.

May 144A Warrants issued in connection with the May Notes

In connection with the issuance of the May Notes, we issued detachable May 144A Warrants which were bifurcated from the May Notes and recorded at fair value as a liability. At September 30, 2022, the fair value of the May 144A Warrants was $20.8 million which was measured using the Monte Carlo simulation method. The May 144A Warrants' ratchet anti-dilution provision creates path-dependent exercise prices of the May 144A Warrants. The Company therefore concluded that the Monte Carlo simulation model is the appropriate method to fair value the May 144A Warrants and the inputs of the valuation model are classified as “Level 3”.

May Notes

On May 27, 2022, we issued $81.5 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Secured Notes Due 2026 (the “May Notes”) and warrants (the "May 144A Warrants") to purchase approximately 26.5 million ordinary shares of the Company. The May Notes bear interest at a rate of 9.5% per annum if paid in cash or, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, at a rate of 12.0% per annum payable at a rate of 5.75% per annum in cash and 6.25% per annum through the issuance of additional Notes ("Payment-in-Kind" or "PIK"), which will also bear interest. Interest on the May Notes is payable quarterly in arrears on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15, commencing on August 15, 2022. The May Notes will mature on May 15, 2026 unless redeemed, repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. The May Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture (the "May Indenture"), which includes customary terms and covenants including certain events of default after which the May Notes may be due and payable immediately.

The Company has also granted the May Note holders an option to purchase up to an additional $81.5 million aggregate principal amount of notes and warrants for a period of 12 months following the date that the registration statement covering the resale of the ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the May Notes and upon exercise of the May 144A Warrants became effective.

The May Notes are convertible at an initial conversion price equal to $3.08 per ordinary share. Holders of the May Notes have the right to convert all or a portion of their May Notes at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. Upon conversion, holders of the May Notes will receive ordinary shares and an interest make-whole for interest that would have accrued from the date of conversion until the maturity date, which interest make-whole shall be paid in cash or in ordinary shares at the Company’s election.

Following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date or notice of redemption issued by the Company (as defined in the May Indenture), the Company will increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its May Notes in connection with such a corporate event or who elects to convert any May Notes called for redemption during the related redemption period. Additionally, in the event of a fundamental change (as defined in the May Indenture), the holders of the May Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their May Notes at a price equal to the aggregate principal amount of any May Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon plus a make-whole premium (as defined in the May Indenture).

The Company may redeem the May Notes in whole, and not in part, at its option, at any time prior to the maturity date, for a cash purchase price equal to the aggregate principal amount of any May Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest plus a make-whole premium as provided in the May Indenture. At any time prior to the maturity date, the Company may also redeem the May Notes in whole, if the last reported sale price of the ordinary shares exceeds 250.0% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (which need not be consecutive), for a cash purchase price equal to the aggregate principal amount of any May Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The May Notes are also subject to redemption at the option of the Company in the event of certain changes in tax law or listing status of the Company.

Net proceeds from the offering of the May Notes were $80.7 million after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount of 1.0%. As of September 30, 2022, the Company incurred approximately $11.5 million in transaction costs that was recognized as an expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations under selling, general and administrative. The Company used approximately $32.3 million of the net proceeds to repay the 2020 Term Facility Loan, which included principal and accrued interest. The Company used or intends to use the remaining net proceeds for operating expenses, working capital, general corporate purposes, and capital expenditures.

The Company allocated the proceeds from the May Notes and May 144A Warrants issued in the financing transaction using a relative fair value method at the issuance date. The issuance-date fair values for the May Notes and May 144A Warrants were measured using the binomial lattice and Monte Carlo simulation model, respectively. The initial amount recognized for the May Notes and May 144A Warrants was established by applying the respective fair values of the May Notes and May 144A Warrants to the amount of the proceeds of $81.5 million on a pro-rata basis.

The Company elected to account for May Notes at fair value as of the May 27, 2022 issuance date. Management believes that the fair value option appropriately reflects the underlying economics of the May Notes. Under the fair value election, changes in fair value will be reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, under change in fair value of debt instrument, in each reporting period subsequent to the issuance of the May Notes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded a change in fair value of $19.6 million. See Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements for information on the assumptions that the Company used to measure the fair value of the May Notes.

The Company registered the ordinary shares underlying the May Notes and the May 144A Warrants for sale by the initial purchasers pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement. The Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-266077), was filed with the SEC on July 11, 2022 and declared effective on July 27, 2022. The Company registered up to 40,316,038 ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the May 2026 Convertible Notes, which consists of (i) 26,461,038 ordinary shares initially issuable upon conversion of all of the May Notes at a conversion price of $3.08 per ordinary share; and (ii) an additional 13,855,000 ordinary shares that would have become due, assuming that the May Notes were converted on the date they were issued and the interest make-whole payment (as defined in the May Indenture) that would have become due in connection therewith was paid by the Company in ordinary shares on that date. The Company also registered up to 47,251,857 ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of all the May 144A Warrants, which consists of (i) 26,461,038 ordinary shares initially issuable upon the exercise of all of the May 144A Warrants at an exercise price of $5.00 per ordinary share; and (ii) an additional 20,790,819 ordinary shares that, together with 26,461,038 ordinary shares, would be issuable upon the exercise of all the May 144A Warrants in connection with a ratchet anti-dilution adjustment at an assumed exercise price of $2.80 per ordinary share. See Note 8 - Warrants below.

The May Notes were classified as a long-term liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, $4.8 million of the May Notes with a fair value of $5.5 million were converted for 1.5 million ordinary shares. In connection with the conversion, the noteholder was entitled to $1.7 million of interest make-whole payable in cash. However, an additional $1.7 million of May Notes were issued in-kind in accordance with the interest make-whole provision in the May Indenture agreement.

May 144A Warrants issued in connection with the May Notes

The Company issued May 144A Warrants in connection with the May Notes with a balance of $20.8 million as of September 30, 2022, classified as a liability. The May 144A Warrants have a ten-year term and can only be exercised through May 27, 2032. The May 144A Warrants are exercisable for the Company's ordinary shares at an exercise price of $5.00, and include a ratchet anti-dilution adjustment in the event any ordinary shares or other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in ordinary shares are granted, issued or sold by the Company, in each case, at a price less than the exercise price of $5.00 then in effect, which automatically decreases the exercise price of the May 144A Warrants upon the occurrence of such event, and increases the number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the May 144A Warrants, such that the aggregate exercise price of all May 144A Warrants remains the same before and after any such dilutive event; provided, that the exercise price may not be less than $2.80.

Upon the occurrence of a fundamental transaction (as defined in the May 144A Warrant Agreement), the May 144A Warrants provide each holder a put right. Upon the exercise of a put right by the holder, the Company is obligated to repurchase the May 144A Warrants from the holder for the fair market value (as defined in the May 144A Warrant Agreement) of the remaining exercised portion of the May 144A Warrants repurchased.

The May 144A Warrants also include cashless exercise rights which will go into effect if after the six months of the issue date, there is no effective registration statement registering the ordinary shares underlying the May 144A Warrants. The ordinary shares underlying the May 144A Warrants were registered for sale by the initial purchasers pursuant to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-266077), filed with the SEC on July 11, 2022 and declared effective on July 27, 2022. The Company registered for resale up to 47,251,857 ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of all the Company’s May 144A Warrants, which consists of (i) 26,461,038 ordinary shares initially issuable upon the exercise of all of the May 144A Warrants at an exercise price of $5.00 per ordinary share; and (ii) an additional 20,790,819 ordinary shares that, together with 26,461,038 ordinary shares, would be issuable upon the exercise of all the May 144A Warrants in connection with a ratchet anti-dilution adjustment at an assumed exercise price of $2.80 per ordinary share. The Company also registered up to 40,316,038 ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the May Notes, which consists of (i) 26,461,038 ordinary shares initially issuable upon conversion of all of the May Notes at a conversion price of $3.08 per ordinary share; and (ii) an additional 13,855,000 ordinary shares that would have become due, assuming that the May Notes were converted on the date they were issued and the interest make-whole payment (as defined in the May Indenture) that would have become due in connection therewith was paid by the Company in ordinary shares on that date. See Note 7 - Debt above.

The May 144A Warrants were accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and are presented within warrant liabilities on our balance sheet. The liability is remeasured on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented in the condensed consolidated statement of operations at each reporting period. The May 144A Warrants are considered to be a Level 3 liability, see Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements for description of the valuation methodology of the May 144A Warrants.

The May 144A Warrants were classified as a long-term liability and included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, an additional 553,895 May 144A Warrants were issued in connection with the additional $1.7 million of May Notes issued in-kind from the conversion of $4.8 million of May Notes to equity.

9.Income Taxes

Income tax expense (benefit) was $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Income tax expense (benefit) was $(0.1) million and $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The effective income tax rate was less than 1.0% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Our effective tax rate differs from the U.K. statutory rate primarily due to a substantially full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets where it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The income tax expense is primarily related to corporate income taxes in the United States, which operates on cost–plus arrangements and minimum filing fees in the foreign jurisdictions where we have operations.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we excluded the potential effect of outstanding and exercisable options, outstanding RSUs, and warrants in the calculation of the diluted loss per share, as the effect would be anti-dilutive due to losses incurred. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the following table presents the calculation of diluted net loss per share with adjustments to net income and shares outstanding (in thousands, except per share amounts):

As of September 30, 2022 there were approximately 15.6 million outstanding options and RSUs and 14.1 million of private and public warrants of potentially issuable shares with dilutive effect, as well as May 144A Warrants to purchase approximately 26.5 million ordinary shares and the May Notes described in Note 7 - Debt above. As of September 30, 2021, there were approximately 12.9 million potentially issuable shares with dilutive effect.

12.Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has established a number of share-based incentive plans for current employees, directors and others, including our 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2013 Plan"), our 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2021 Plan"), and our 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP").

2013 Equity Incentive Plan

The holders of Legacy Rockley stock options under our 2013 Plan continue to hold such stock options, which remain subject to the same vesting, exercise and other terms and conditions outlined in the stock option agreements and the 2013 Plan. In connection with the Business Combination, the holders of Legacy Rockley options may exercise their options to purchase a number of the Company's ordinary shares equal to the number of shares of Legacy Rockley subject to such Legacy Rockley options multiplied by the Exchange Ratio of 2.4835 (rounded down to the nearest whole share) at an exercise price per share divided by the Exchange Ratio (rounded to the nearest whole cent). The information presented herein is as if the exchange of stock options occurred as of the earliest period presented.

As of September 30, 2022, there were no shares available for grant under our 2013 Plan. Any new grants will become available for issuance under our 2021 Plan.

The following table summarizes the stock option activity related to the 2013 Plan:

14.Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Contingencies

From time to time, we are a party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. We apply accounting for contingencies to determine when and how much to accrue for and disclose related to legal and other contingencies. Accordingly, we disclose contingencies deemed to be reasonably possible and accrue loss contingencies when, in consultation with legal advisors, it is concluded that a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. Although the ultimate aggregate amount of monetary liability or financial impact with respect to these matters is subject to many uncertainties and is therefore not predictable with assurance, management believes that as of September 30, 2022 there is no litigation pending that could have, individually and in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Financial Commitments

In the ordinary course of business, we make commitments to third-party suppliers for various research and development activities. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $12.5 million and $13.6 million, respectively, in contractual obligations for which we have not yet received the services.

15.Defined Contribution Plan

We have defined contribution plans, under which we contribute based on a percentage of the employees’ elected contributions. We will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognized within selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Defined contributions were $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Defined contributions were $0.7 million and $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

17. Subsequent Events

On October 3, 2022, the Company issued $12.4 million aggregate original principal amount of senior secured notes due 2022 (the “Bridge Notes”) to (i) raise additional financing of $10.5 million, of which $7.5 million was received by the Company, approximately $1.9 million was applied to pay transaction expenses and the remaining amount of approximately $1.1 million was placed in an escrow account to be released at the direction of the requisite number of noteholders; and (ii) pay certain fees owing to holders of May Notes in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $1.9 million. Dr. Andrew Rickman, the Company’s founder and Chief Executive Officer, invested $0.5 million in Bridge Notes on the same terms as the holders of May Notes, and Dr. Rickman’s participation was separately reviewed and approved by the Company’s Audit Committee and independent members of the Company’s Board of Directors. In connection with the Bridge Note transaction, we also entered into a Forbearance Agreement and obtained a waiver of defaults related to the minimum liquidity covenant in the May Indenture covering the May Notes, and the minimum liquidity covenant was temporarily lowered from $20 million to $5 million. The Bridge Note transaction and related matters are described in greater detail in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 3, 2022.

On October 25, 2022, the Company (i) sold approximately $90.6 million in aggregate original principal amount of a new series of convertible senior secured notes due 2026 (the "October Notes”) with an initial conversion price of $0.6888 and warrants (the "October 144A Warrants") to purchase approximately 131.6 million ordinary shares at an exercise price of $1.1182 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments; and (ii) repurchased all of the Bridge Notes in an aggregate original principal amount of approximately $12.4 million and a portion of the May Notes in an aggregate original principal amount of $50.0 million. As a result of the conversion price of the October Notes and the initial exercise price of the October 144A Warrants being less than the initial exercise price of the May Warrants, the exercise price of the May 144A Warrants was reset to $2.80 per share and each May 144A Warrant became entitled to an additional 0.7857 shares upon exercise thereof due to the ratchet antidilution provision. The securities were issued in a private placement in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and the transactions are described in greater detail in our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 25, 2022 and October 31, 2022.

Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our audited annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the related notes thereto, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Unless the context otherwise requires, references in these notes to "Rockley", the “Company”, "we", "us", or "our" and any related terms are intended to mean the post-Business Combination consolidated company, Rockley Photonics Holdings Limited, while "Legacy Rockley" and "SC Health" refers to the entities prior to the Business Combination.

Overview

We have developed a unique sensing platform that we believe can reshape the health & wellness and healthcare industries through multiple applications in non-invasive, multi-modal biomarker monitoring. We believe products based on our technology platform could have the potential to unlock and accelerate advancements in areas such as early disease detection, nutrition management, and preventative healthcare delivery through continuous health and wellness monitoring.

To date, we have been engaged in developing customer-specific designs of our silicon photonics chipsets for incorporation into our customers’ end products and finished goods wearables targeted towards the consumer wearables and medtech markets. While all of our products are presently in the development stage, we have shipped early prototypes to multiple customers. We do not currently have any of our own end products in commercial production and have not yet shipped any products commercially. Our unique sensing platform has been built upon our silicon photonics technology, which enables compelling sensor performance, power, resolution, and density. This technology has the potential to allow monitoring devices, currently the size of clinical machines, to be condensed to the size of a wearable device. We believe this in turn has the potential to unlock additional uses in consumer electronics and medical devices. The resulting combination of technologies and manufacturing know-how is the “full-stack Rockley Platform” which is made up of photonic integrated circuits (“PICs”) in silicon with integrated III-V devices (devices incorporating certain conductor elements that offer superior electronic properties, such as lasers), ASICs, photonic and electronic co-packaging, together with biosensing algorithms and AI cloud analytics, firmware/software, system architecture, and hardware design.

As testament to the relevance of our product development, we have captured the attention of several consumer wearables and medtech companies and, as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have established strategic relationships with six of the world’s largest manufacturers of smart watches and wristbands (based on volume as reported by IDC) and two of the five largest medtech companies (based on Becker's ASC Review). We plan to leverage these relationships to develop new capabilities in consumer and medtech wearables in the near term, and to expand further into medical devices and other industry applications.

Our vision is to address many pressing healthcare concerns using our technology and we believe that there exists a large market opportunity for our platform. We estimate the consumer wearable, mobile device, and medical device markets to be over $50 billion by 2025, based on data sourced from the Yole Report, the IDTechEx Report, and the TrendForce Report. Further, our internal forecasts for smartphones, smart watches, and smart earbuds through 2025 (based on customer data), also suggests these markets are rapidly expanding as healthcare and consumer wearable devices continue to incorporate additional sensing capabilities. Our target biomarkers for consumer health and wellness include blood oxygen, core body temperature, hydration, blood pressure, alcohol, glucose (indicator), and lactate. Our high-performance lasers have up to 1,000,000 times higher resolution, 1,000 times higher accuracy and 100 times broader range in wavelengths compared with existing LED offerings in wearable solutions (based on product analysis undertaken by Rockley comparing the Rockley silicon photonics-based spectrometer chip to existing solutions). In addition, as opposed to LED-based solutions, our lasers can be turned on more intermittently, and we employ dynamic adaptive power control to optimize laser on-time and overall power consumption for each different biomarker measurement, thus our solution will be more power efficient than existing solutions.

We believe our platform will also be able to address existing applications in consumer and medtech wearables with significantly higher resolution, accuracy, and range. Further, we believe there are multiple additional markets and opportunities for our technology platform in areas such as data center connectivity (optical transceivers), machine vision (robotic and automotive LiDAR), and compute connectivity (co-packaged optics, or CPO).

Following the completion of our product development phase and introduction of our products to the consumer and medtech wearable markets, we expect our revenue to be derived from sales of both high-volume consumer wearable products and wearables targeting medical applications. In addition, we plan to offer advanced module applications with biomarker detection capabilities for advanced health metrics that can detect and classify data that could potentially alert patients and healthcare providers to take preemptive action to prevent disease. We also expect to offer a cloud analytics platform to provide

a full range of subscription services, including the deployment of our technology through a subscription and cloud-based software as a service.

To date, we have generated revenue primarily from non-recurring engineering ("NRE") and development services for customer-specific designs of silicon photonics chipsets for incorporation into their customers’ end products and we have financed our operations primarily through the Business Combination, issuance of convertible loan notes, as well as private placements of ordinary shares. From the date of our formation through September 30, 2022 we have raised aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $371.5 million from the issuance of convertible loan notes and ordinary shares. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had net loss of $151.6 million and utilized $117.3 million in cash to fund our operations.

While we remain committed to being efficient in the use of cash in our operations, we have built a framework to enable a rapid move to commercial production by focusing our capital and operating expenditures on:

•investing in our technology and our silicon photonics solutions;

•developing innovative solutions and applications for our technology;

•commercializing our silicon photonics solutions;

•investing in our sales and marketing activities and distribution channels;

•improving our operational, financial, and management information systems;

•obtaining, maintaining and expanding our intellectual property portfolio; and

•enhancing our internal functions to support our operations as a public company.

Impact of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has nearly reached the three-year mark and our priority continues to be the health and safety of our employees. The overall recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic has been uneven and has presented many challenges and risks from general economic uncertainty, changes in consumer demand, disruption of supply chains, challenges with hiring, and labor and supply cost inflation. However, as we implemented our phased return to office plan starting in July 2021, we were able to provide greater levels of work flexibility to employees and maintain health and safety standards for employees meeting all regulatory requirements.

We continually evaluate the nature and extent of changes to the market and economic conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic and assess the potential impact on our business and financial position. Despite the emergence of vaccines and vaccine boosters, the end of the COVID-19 pandemic is still uncertain. As such, we expect that the pandemic may continue to have an effect on our results, although the magnitude, duration, and full effects of the pandemic on our future results of operations or cash flows remain difficult to predict at this time.

For further discussion of the risks posed to our business from the COVID-19 pandemic, refer to Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Key Factors Affecting Operating Results

We believe that our performance and future success depend on several factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on March 10, 2022, and in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

	2022		2021		$		%		2022		2021		$		%
Revenue	$	556	$	1,839	$	(1,283)	(70)	%	$	3,023	$	5,805	$	(2,782)	(48)	%

Revenue decreased by $1.3 million, or 70%, to $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Revenue decreased by $2.8 million, or 48%, to $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This decrease is primarily driven by timing of project milestones for our significant customers in fiscal 2022 when compared to fiscal 2021.

To date, we have primarily generated revenue from development services, which entail developing customer-specific designs of silicon photonics chipsets. Our contracts with customers include specific achievement of agreed-upon projects and a substantive acceptance criteria for each agreed-upon project. In the event an agreed-upon project is successful and the customer provides acceptance, we allocate the contract consideration related to the performance obligations that are satisfied during the period and recognize the revenue at that point in time.

Cost of revenue decreased by $1.4 million, or 40%, to $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Cost of revenue decreased by $4.0 million, or 34%, to $7.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $11.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. For both the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022, the decrease in cost of revenue was primarily driven by an overall decrease in revenue and decrease in allocation of costs related to revenue generating activities when comparing to the corresponding periods in the prior year.

Gross profit remained relatively flat when comparing the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 when comparing to the corresponding periods in the prior year.

Our gross margin has fluctuated and may fluctuate from period to period based on a number of factors, including the timing of completion of project milestones with each project requiring differing levels of time and costs. The projects we undertake are determined by our customer commitments and our long-term strategy goals.

To date, our cost of revenue has included cost related to our development services which include cost of materials, cost associated with packaging and assembly, testing and shipping, cost of talent, including stock-based compensation, and equipment associated with manufacturing support, logistics, and quality assurance, overhead, and occupancy costs. Once we commence commercial production of our silicon photonics chipsets, cost of revenues will include direct parts, material, and labor costs, manufacturing overhead, including amortized tooling costs, shipping and logistics costs, and reserves for estimated warranty expenses.

Gross profit is calculated based on the difference between our revenue and cost of revenue. Gross margin is the percentage obtained by dividing gross profit by our revenue. As we approach commercial production of spectra-sense chipsets, advanced module applications, and Rockley Photonics Cloud Analytics technology, we expect our gross profit and gross margin to vary.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (in thousands, except for percentages)

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $0.6 million, or 4%, to $13.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $13.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in professional fees of $1.9 million from the prior year quarter, and a decrease in human capital costs of $0.3 million offset by a $0.6 million increase in stock-based compensation costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $17.5 million, or 64%, to $45.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $27.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in professional fees of $8.6 million from the prior year corresponding period, mainly related to our financing activities in fiscal 2022. Further, the increase in expense related to general corporate growth, of which $3.7 million was due to an increase in insurance expense, $2.0 million and $1.5 million were due to increased human capital and stock-based compensation costs, respectively.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses consist of human capital related expenses for employees involved in general corporate functions, including executive management and administration, accounting, finance, tax, legal, information technology, marketing, and human resources; depreciation expense and rent relating to facilities; travel costs; professional fees;

and other general corporate costs. Human capital expenses primarily include salaries, benefits, bonuses, and stock-based compensation. We proactively manage our selling, general and administrative expenses and we believe our current headcount is sufficient to support anticipated growth in our business, and to operate as a public company, including compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, legal, audit, additional general and director and officer insurance expenses, investor relations activities, and other administrative and professional services.

Research and Development Expenses (in thousands, except for percentages)


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Change				Nine Months Ended September 30,				Change
	2022		2021		$		%		2022		2021		$		%

Research and development expenses decreased by $0.7 million, or 3%, to $25.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $26.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to an decrease in human capital and third-party engineering costs of $3.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively, partially offset by an increase in IT infrastructure costs of $1.1 million, a decrease in allocation of expenses of $1.6 million to R&D, and increased stock-based compensation costs of $0.6 million.

Research and development expenses increased by $16.9 million, or 28%, to $76.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $59.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in human capital and stock-based compensation expenses of $3.8 million and $4.1 million, respectively. The increase was also attributable to higher IT infrastructure costs of $4.1 million and a decrease in allocation of expenses of $4.9 million to R&D.

Research and development expense consists primarily of talent costs for engineers and third parties engaged in the design and development of products, software, and technologies, including salary, bonus, and stock-based compensation expense, project material costs, services, and depreciation of our research and development facilities and equipment. We expense research and development costs as they are incurred. Research and development expense also includes the research and development tax credits that we are able to claim in accordance with the relevant U.K. tax legislation. These tax credits are payable to us in cash and are carried on the consolidated balance sheets at the amount claimed and expected to be received from the U.K. government within the next 12 months. We proactively manage research and development expense whilst remaining focused in the development of our products and technology.

Provision for income tax	$	270	$	598	$	(328)	(55)	%	$	(67)	$	808	$	(875)	(108)	%

Change in provision for income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 is due to an overall decrease in expenditures. The effective income tax rate was less than 1.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Our effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to a substantially full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets where it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The income tax expenses shown above are primarily related to corporate income taxes in the United States, which operates on a cost-plus arrangement and minimum filing fees in the foreign jurisdictions where we have operations.

We are subject to income taxes in the United Kingdom, the United States, Finland, Ireland, and Switzerland. Our income tax provision consists of an estimate of federal, state, and foreign income taxes based on enacted federal, state, and foreign tax rates, as adjusted for allowable credits, deductions, uncertain tax positions, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, and changes in tax laws. Due to cumulative losses, we maintain a valuation allowance against our U.S. federal and foreign deferred tax assets.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe the following non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operational performance. We use the following non-GAAP financial information to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively and in context, may be helpful to investors in assessing our operating performance and trends and in comparing our financial measures with those of comparable companies which may present similar non-GAAP financial measures.

Limitations of Non-GAAP Measures

These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, are supplemental in nature, and are not intended, and should not be construed, as the sole measure of our performance, and should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, including the following:

•EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude certain recurring, non-cash charges, such as depreciation of property and equipment and/or amortization of intangible assets. While these are non-cash charges, we may need to replace the assets being depreciated and amortized in the future and Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect cash requirements for these replacements or new capital expenditure requirements;

•EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect interest expense, net, which may constitute a significant recurring expense in the future;

•Adjusted EBITDA excludes stock-based compensation, which may constitute a significant recurring expense in the future, as equity awards are expected to continue to be an important component of our compensation strategy; and

•Future expenses may be similar to the non-recurring special items that are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

Because of these limitations, you should consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including net income (loss) and our other GAAP results.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

We define “EBITDA” as net income (loss) before interest expense, net, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation, non-capitalized transaction costs, and other non-recurring special items determined by management that are not considered representative of our underlying operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is intended as a supplemental measure of our performance that is neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. Our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our computation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies, because all companies may not calculate EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA in the same fashion.

Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA on a supplemental basis. You should review the reconciliation of our net income (loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Due to our history of recurring losses from operations, negative cash flows from operations, and a significant accumulated deficit, management concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion for the year ended December 31, 2021 as to the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has financed its operations primarily through Business Combination, the issuance and sale of convertible loan notes, ordinary shares, agreed-upon projects, and research and development tax credit receivables in accordance with the relevant U.K. tax legislation. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the cash, cash equivalents and investments balance was $4.9 million and $81.4 million, respectively. The Company will need to raise additional capital in the short- and long-term in order to fund its operations and execute on its business strategy.

Liquidity Requirements

In October 2021, the Company entered into an equity line of credit arrangement (“ELOC”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company ("LPCF"). The ELOC is a private placement with registration rights, providing LPCF the ability to purchase up to 7.8 million of the Company's ordinary shares for up to $50.0 million over 24 months. Proceeds from the sale of shares will go towards the Company to be used for working capital.

On May 27, 2022, the Company issued the May Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $81.5 million pursuant to the May Indenture, dated as of May 27, 2022, among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors, and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as trustee and as collateral agent in a private placement financing and in connection therewith agreed to comply with the affirmative and negative covenants contained in the May Indenture, including a covenant that requires the Company to pledge at all time at least $20.0 million of cash and cash equivalents to secure the May Notes. This minimum cash and cash equivalents requirement potentially limits the Company’s liquidity position. See “Risk Factors — We are subject to restrictive debt covenants that limit our ability to finance our future operations and capital needs and to pursue business opportunities and activities.” for a discussion of risks related to restrictive covenants in the May Indenture.

Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2022, we have yet to generate any material revenue from our business operations. Management continues to explore a range of options to further address the Company’s capitalization and liquidity. If we raise funds by issuing debt securities or incurring loans, this form of financing would have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of holders of our ordinary shares. The availability and the terms under which we can borrow additional capital could be disadvantageous, and the terms of debt securities or borrowings could impose significant restrictions on our operations. Macroeconomic conditions and credit markets could also impact the availability and cost of potential future debt financing. If we raise capital through the issuance of additional equity, such sales and issuance would dilute the ownership interests of the existing holders of the Company’s ordinary shares. There can be no assurances that any additional debt or equity financing would be available to us or if available, that such financing would be on favorable terms to us.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our anticipated cash needs are significant in order to fund the execution of our business strategy, including (1) investing in research and developments activities, including completion and commercialization of our wearables, smart phone and point-of-care technologies, (2) investing in backend processing, intellectual property protection, quality control and process, (3) expanding sales and marketing activities, and (4) pursuing strategic partnerships. However, our anticipated cash needs could vary materially as a result of a number of factors, including:

•Timing and the costs involved in bringing our products to market;

•Anticipated customer contracts and design wins may not materialize;

•Delay in launching our products due to technical challenges from our customers or our product development team;

•Pricing and the volume of sales of our products may be different from our forecast;

•Execution delays due to resources constraints;

•Assisting our fabless manufacturing partners with expansion of production capacity;

•The cost of maintaining, expanding and protecting our intellectual property portfolio, including litigation costs and liabilities;

•The cost of additional general and administrative talent, including accounting and finance, legal and human resources, as a result of becoming a public company;

•The costs associated with financing activities required to fund the execution of our business strategy, including our convertible senior notes; and

•Other risks discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

If adequate funds are not available, we will need to curb our expansion plans or limit our research and development activities, which would have a material adverse impact on our business prospects and results of operations. In addition, we have substantial debt obligations and limited liquidity. If we are unable to pay our obligations as they become due, our creditors could exercise their remedies under our debt agreements, which could include seizing control of our bank accounts, which in turn could require us to initiate bankruptcy proceedings. These actions could have the effect of substantially reducing or completely eliminating the value of our ordinary shares. You should not invest in our ordinary shares unless you are willing and able to withstand the complete loss of your investment.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $42.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily related to the proceeds received from the sale of marketable securities of $45.1 million and from the purchases of property and equipment to be used in the ordinary course of business. Net cash used in investing activities was $56.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily related to the purchase and the sale of marketable securities of $54.8 million and $5.0 million, respectively, and also from the purchases of property and equipment to be used in the ordinary course of business.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $43.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily related to the proceeds from the May Notes, partially offset by the principal payments we have made on the 2020 Term Facility Loan and payment on transaction costs. Net cash provided by financing activities was $203.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily consisting of proceeds received from issuance of ordinary shares and proceeds received from convertible loan notes, partially offset by the payment of transaction costs.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Purchase obligations include commitments to third-party suppliers for various research and development activities. As of September 30, 2022, we had $12.5 million in contractual obligations for which we have not yet received services.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Since the date of our incorporation, we have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Please refer to Note 1 of our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information about recent accounting pronouncements, the timing of their adoption, and our assessment, to the extent we have made one, of their potential impact on our financial condition and our results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP as set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification, and we consider the various staff accounting bulletins and other applicable guidance issued by the SEC. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported expenses incurred 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. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

There have been no substantial changes to these estimates, or the related policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. For a full discussion of these estimates and policies is fully described in "Item 7—Management’s

Table of Contents

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on March 10, 2022.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company is a smaller reporting company, as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is not required to provide this item.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) designed to ensure that the 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 rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures under the Exchange Act as of September 30, 2021. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting were effective at the reasonable level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, in designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any system of internal control over financial reporting, including Rockley’s, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business, but cannot assure you that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

Item 1.Legal Proceedings

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, any material legal proceeding threatened against us or any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such.

Item 1A.Risk Factors

The Company’s business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition, as well as the price of the Company’s ordinary shares, can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including those described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 ("2021 Form 10-K") under the heading “Risk Factors.” When any one or more of these risks materialize from time to time, the Company’s business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition, as well as the price of the Company’s ordinary shares, could be materially and adversely affected. Below are additions to our risk factors since our 2021 Form 10-K.

We are subject to restrictive debt covenants that limit our ability to finance our future operations and capital needs and to pursue business opportunities and activities.

On May 27, 2022, we issued and sold convertible senior secured notes (the “May Notes”) and warrants (the “May 144A Warrants”) to certain investors pursuant to an Amended and Restated Subscription Agreement dated May 26, 2022. On October 25, 2022, we issued and sold new convertible senior secured notes (the "October Notes" and, together with the May Notes, the "Notes") and new warrants (the "October 144A Warrants" and, together with the May 144A Warrants, the 144A Warrants) to certain investors pursuant to a Repurchase and Subscription Agreement dated as of October 24, 2022. The May Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of May 27, 2022 (the “May Indenture”) and the October Notes were issued pursuant to a new indenture dated as of October 25, 2022 (the "October Indenture" and, together with the May Indenture, the "Indentures"). The Indentures impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us and our subsidiaries. These restrictions limit our ability, among other things, to:

•issue securities convertible or exercisable into ordinary shares;

•incur additional indebtedness or issue certain disqualified stock and preferred stock;

•pay dividends and limit our subsidiaries' ability to pay dividends and make other payments to us;

•enter into agreements limiting subsidiary distributions;

•redeem or repurchase equity securities;

•prepay subordinated indebtedness;

•make certain investments, including acquisitions;

•engage in transactions with affiliates;

•sell certain assets or merge with or into other companies;

•guarantee indebtedness; and

•create liens.

In addition, the Indentures require us to pledge cash and cash equivalents to secure the Notes in an amount, together with the aggregate amount of funds then on deposit in an escrow account under the October Indenture, of $5.0 million until December 29, 2022 and $20.0 million thereafter, which requirement further limits our liquidity position.

As a result of these covenants and restrictions, we may be limited in how we conduct our business and we may be unable to raise additional debt or equity-linked financings to pursue our business plan or otherwise compete effectively or to take advantage of new business opportunities. The terms of any future indebtedness we incur could include more restrictive covenants. There is no assurance that we will be able to maintain compliance with these covenants or have the ability to obtain waivers from the holders of the Notes and/or amend the covenants in the Indentures.

These restrictions significantly limit our ability to operate our businesses and may prohibit or limit activity to enhance our operations or take advantage of potential business opportunities as they arise. All of these limitations are subject to significant exceptions and qualifications. These covenants could limit our ability to finance our future operations and capital needs and our ability to pursue business opportunities and activities that may be in our interest. If we breach any of these covenants, we would be in default under our indebtedness, which may then become immediately due and payable. In addition, we will become subject to significant penalties if we fail to meet our obligations under the financing documents relating to these securities, including the registration rights agreements entered into in connection with these financings, and we may not have,

Table of Contents

or be able to obtain, sufficient funds to make accelerated or penalty payments which may become due. If we are unable to pay our obligations as they become due, our creditors could exercise their remedies under our debt agreements with them, which could include seizing control of our bank accounts, which in turn could require us to initiate bankruptcy proceedings. These actions could have the effect of substantially reducing or completely eliminating the value of our ordinary shares. You should not invest in our ordinary shares unless you are willing and able to withstand the complete loss of your investment. Our ability to comply with the provisions of our financing arrangements may be affected by changes in economic or business conditions or other events beyond our control. These restrictions and covenants, or our failure to maintain compliance with them, would materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, our growth prospects and our ability to continue operations.

We will need to raise additional capital and if we are able to raise additional capital in the future, our shareholders could be diluted or securities we issue may have rights senior to the rights of a holder of ordinary shares. If we fail to raise additional capital, it would materially and adversely affect our ability to continue to fund our operations and pursue our business plan.

On October 25, 2022, after giving effect to the transactions related to the issuance of the October Notes, we had approximately $14.5 million in cash in the Escrow Account (as defined in the October Indenture) which will only be released to us by the requisite number of holders of the October Notes and approximately $14.5 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. We will need to raise additional capital in the short- and long-term in order to fund our operations and execute on our business strategy. Any potential financing may include ordinary shares, preferred shares, warrants to purchase ordinary shares or preferred shares, debt securities, convertible securities, rights to purchase the foregoing securities, equity investments from strategic partners, or some combination of the foregoing. Any issuance of equity we may undertake in the future to raise additional capital could cause the price of our ordinary shares to decline, or require us to issue shares at a price that is lower than that paid by holders of our ordinary shares in the past, which would result in those newly issued shares being dilutive, and such dilution could be significant. If we obtain funds through a credit facility or through the issuance of debt or preferred securities, these securities would likely have rights senior to the rights of an ordinary shareholder, which could impair the value of our ordinary shares.

Due to our history of recurring losses from operations, negative cash flows from operations, and a significant accumulated deficit, our management concluded that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. This determination could further materially limit our ability to raise additional funds. There can be no assurance that we will ever become profitable or be able to continue as a going concern. Further, we cannot assure you that any additional financing, whether from the issuance of equity securities, debt or convertible debt financing, or other means of financing, will be available on a timely basis, in the amounts needed, on reasonable terms, on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we fail to raise additional capital, it would materially and adversely affect our ability to continue to fund our operations and pursue our business plan, and may even lead to a bankruptcy filing and/or reorganization of our business and capital structure.

We have a significant number of securities outstanding that can be converted into, or exercised for, ordinary shares and certain of our outstanding warrants contain anti-dilution protection, all which may cause significant dilution to our shareholders, have a material adverse impact on the market price of our ordinary shares and make it more difficult for us to raise funds through future equity offerings.

As of October 20, 2022, we had outstanding 132,660,683 ordinary shares. On October 25, 2022, after giving effect to the transactions related to the issuance of the October Notes, we had outstanding May Notes convertible into 9,238,961 ordinary shares (excluding any ordinary shares which may be issued in connection with interest make-whole payments), May 144A Warrants exercisable into an aggregate of 48,240,955 ordinary shares (as a result of the ratchet antidilution feature thereof which was triggered by the issuance of the October Notes), October Notes convertible into 131,600,861 ordinary shares (excluding any ordinary shares which may be issued in connection with interest make-whole payments) and October 144A Warrants exercisable into an aggregate of 131,600,861 ordinary shares. We also granted an overallotment option to purchase additional May Notes and additional May 144A Warrants convertible or exercisable into ordinary shares in connection with our private placement financing in May 2022. We also granted, in connection with our private placement of the October Notes, an overallotment option that may be exercised by a holder of October Notes solely in connection with an interest make-whole payment due upon a conversion of all or a portion of the October Notes held by such holder to purchase additional October Notes and additional October 144A Warrants convertible or exercisable into ordinary shares. To the extent we issue such ordinary shares upon the conversion or exercise of these securities (including any ordinary shares which may be issued in connection with interest make-whole payments upon conversion of the Notes), it would dilute the percentage ownership interest of all shareholders, might dilute the book value per share of our ordinary shares, and would increase the number of our publicly traded shares, which could depress the market price of our ordinary shares. Our October 144A Warrants contain a ratchet anti-dilution provision which, subject to limited exceptions, would reduce the exercise price of such securities (and increase the number of shares issuable) in the event that we in the future issue ordinary shares, or securities convertible into or exercisable to purchase ordinary shares, at a price per share lower than the exercise price then in effect. This ratchet anti-dilution provision

Table of Contents

would be triggered by the future issuance by us of ordinary shares or ordinary share equivalents at a price per share below the then applicable exercise price of the October 144A Warrants, subject to limited exceptions. If issued pursuant to the overallotment option, the additional 144A Warrants will contain similar ratchet anti-dilution terms.

In addition to the dilutive effects described above, the perceived risk of dilution as a result of the significant number of increased outstanding ordinary shares due to the conversion of the Notes and the exercise of the 144A Warrants, as well as the additional Notes and additional 144A Warrants that may be issued if the overallotment option is exercised, may cause our ordinary shareholders to be more inclined to sell their shares, which would contribute to a downward movement in the price of our ordinary shares. Moreover, the perceived risk of dilution and the resulting downward pressure on our ordinary share price could encourage investors to engage in short sales of our ordinary shares, which could further contribute to price declines in our ordinary shares. The fact that our shareholders, note holders and warrant holders can sell substantial amounts of our ordinary shares in the public market, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, as well as the existence of the ratchet anti-dilution provision in the 144A Warrants and, if issued pursuant to the overallotment option, the additional 144A Warrants could make it more difficult for us to raise additional funds through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate, or at all. Any of the foregoing would likely cause our stock price to decline.

If we fail to meet the continued listing standards of the NYSE, it could result in a de-listing of our ordinary shares.

Our ordinary shares are listed on the NYSE under the symbol “RKLY.” On October 18, 2022, we received a notice from the NYSE that, because the average closing price for our ordinary shares has fallen below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days, we no longer comply with the price criteria for continued listing on the NYSE. The NYSE continued listing criteria provide us with a compliance period of six months in which to regain compliance. On November 7, 2022, the last reported sale price of our ordinary shares on the NYSE was $0.43 per share. If we fail to satisfy the continued listing standards of the NYSE, such as the corporate governance requirements or the minimum average closing price requirement of $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days, the NYSE may take steps to de-list our ordinary shares. Such a de-listing would most likely have a negative effect on the price of our ordinary shares and would impair shareholders’ ability to sell or purchase our ordinary shares when they wish to do so. In the event of a de-listing, we would attempt to take actions to restore our compliance with the NYSE’s listing requirements, but we can provide no assurance that any such action taken by us would allow our ordinary shares to become listed again, stabilize the market price, improve the liquidity of our ordinary shares, prevent our ordinary shares from dropping below the NYSE minimum average closing price requirement or prevent future non-compliance with the NYSE’s listing requirements.

If our shares are delisted from the NYSE and become subject to the penny stock rules, it would become more difficult to trade our shares.

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or authorized for quotation on certain automated quotation systems, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. If we do not maintain a listing on the NYSE and if the price of our ordinary shares is less than $5.00 at such time, our ordinary shares will be deemed a penny stock. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document containing specified information. In addition, the penny stock rules require that before effecting any transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive (i) the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement; (ii) a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks; and (iii) a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our ordinary shares, and therefore stockholders may have difficulty selling their shares.

Rockley has a history of recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations, and a significant accumulated deficit, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a “going concern.”

Since inception, Rockley has financed its operations primarily through the issuance and sale of convertible debt, ordinary shares and revenue received from agreed-upon projects. As of December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022, Rockley’s cash and cash equivalents balance was $36.8 million and $4.9 million, respectively, and it had an accumulated deficit of $400.9 million and $552.5 million, respectively. Due to Rockley’s history of recurring losses from operations, negative cash flows from operations, and a significant accumulated deficit, its management concluded that there is substantial doubt about Rockley’s ability to continue as a going concern. There have been no adjustments to the accompanying financial statements of Rockley to reflect this uncertainty. Rockley’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon it becoming profitable in the future or obtaining the necessary capital to meet its obligations. Rockley’s determination of substantial doubt about its ability to

Table of Contents

continue as a going concern could materially limit its ability to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities, debt financing or otherwise. There can be no assurance that any such issuance of equity securities, debt financing or other means of financing will be available in the future, or the terms of any such financing will be acceptable to Rockley. Further, there can be no assurance that Rockley will ever become profitable or continue as a going concern.

Our business depends substantially on the efforts of our executive officers, including our Chief Executive Officer and founder, Dr. Andrew Rickman, OBE, our President and Chief Financial Officer, Richard A. Meier, and other highly skilled talent, and our operations may be severely disrupted if we lost their services.

We are highly dependent on our founder and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Andrew Rickman, OBE, our President and Chief Financial Officer, Richard A. Meier, as well our other executive officers, and the loss of their services could adversely affect our business because their loss could make it more difficult to, among other things, compete with other market participants, manage our research and development activities, and retain existing customers or cultivate new ones. Competition for highly-skilled talent is often intense, we may incur significant costs to attract highly-skilled talent, and we may not be successful in attracting, integrating, or retaining qualified talent to fulfill our current or future needs. We have, from time to time, experienced, and expect to continue to experience, difficulty in hiring and retaining highly skilled employees with appropriate qualifications. In addition, we have experienced, and may in the future experience, changes in our senior management.

In addition, job candidates and existing employees often consider the value of the equity awards they receive in connection with their employment. If the perceived value of our equity or equity awards declines, it may adversely affect our ability to retain highly skilled employees. If we fail to attract new talent or fail to retain and motivate our current talent, or if we fail to effectively manage any transitions among our senior management, our business, operations, and future growth prospects could be adversely affected.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On October 25, 2022, the Company (i) sold approximately $90.6 million in aggregate original principal amount of a new series of convertible senior secured notes due 2026 (the “October Notes”) with an initial conversion price of $0.6888 and warrants ("October 144A Warrants") to purchase approximately 131.6 million ordinary shares at an exercise price of $1.1182 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments; and (ii) repurchased all of the Bridge Notes in an aggregate original principal amount of approximately $12.4 million and a portion of the May Notes in an aggregate original principal amount of $50.0 million. As a result of the conversion price of the October Notes and the initial exercise price of the October 144A Warrants being less than the initial exercise price of the May Warrants, the exercise price of the May 144A Warrants was reset to $2.80 per share and each May 144A Warrant became entitled to an additional 0.7857 shares upon exercise thereof due to the ratchet antidilution provision. The securities were issued in a private placement in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and the transactions are described in greater detail in our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 25, 2022 and October 31, 2022.
