Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available in the future.
We may from time to time provide estimates, projections and other information concerning our industry, the general business environment, and the markets for certain diseases, including estimates regarding the potential size of those markets and the estimated incidence and prevalence of certain medical conditions. Information that is based on estimates, forecasts, projections, market research or similar methodologies is inherently subject to uncertainties, and actual events, circumstances or numbers, including actual disease prevalence rates and market size, may differ materially from the information provided. Unless otherwise expressly stated, we obtained this industry information, business information, market data, prevalence information and other data from reports, research surveys, studies and similar data prepared by market research firms and other third parties, industry, medical and general publications, government data, and similar sources, in each case, from sources we consider to be reliable, and in some cases applying our own assumptions and analysis that may, in the future, prove not to have been accurate.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. Nature of Operations
SpringWorks Therapeutics, Inc., together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, collectively, the Company, is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company applying a precision medicine approach to acquiring, developing and commercializing life-changing medicines for underserved patient populations suffering from devastating rare diseases and cancer. The Company has a differentiated portfolio of small molecule targeted oncology product candidates and is advancing programs in both rare tumor types as well as highly prevalent, genetically defined cancers. Two of the programs are late-stage clinical product candidates: nirogacestat and mirdametinib. In December 2022, the Company submitted a New Drug Application, or NDA, to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for nirogacestat for the treatment of adults with desmoid tumors. In February 2023, the NDA filing was accepted by the FDA and granted priority review with an assigned Prescription Drug User Fee Act, or PDUFA, target action date of August 27, 2023. On June 2, 2023, the FDA notified the Company that it had updated the PDUFA action date for the NDA by the standard extension period of three months to allow more time to review additional analyses of previously submitted data that had been provided by the Company in response to the FDA's information requests. The updated PDUFA action date for the NDA is November 27, 2023.
The Company has incurred losses and negative operating cash flows since inception and had an accumulated deficit of $721.3 million and $569.9 million, and working capital of $442.0 million and $548.7 million, as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company is subject to those risks associated with any biopharmaceutical company that has substantial expenditures for development. There can be no assurance that the Company’s development projects will be successful, that products developed will obtain necessary regulatory approval, or that any approved product will be commercially viable. In addition, the Company operates in an environment of rapid technological change and is largely dependent on the services of its employees, advisors, consultants and vendors.
The Company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $476.7 million and $597.0 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Based on the Company's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of June 30, 2023, management estimates that its current liquidity will enable it to meet operating expenses through at least twelve months after the date that these financial statements are issued.
2. Basis of Presentation
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2023. The condensed consolidated financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, such financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates and assumptions reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, research and development expenses and the valuation of stock-based compensation awards. Management bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from those estimates or assumptions. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, and adjusts those estimates and assumptions when facts or circumstances change. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known.
Research and Development Expenses
In accordance with ASC 730, “Research and Development”, expenditures for clinical development, including upfront licensing fees and milestone payments associated with products that have not yet been approved by the FDA, are charged to research and development expense as incurred. These expenses consist of expenses incurred in performing development activities, including salaries and benefits, stock-based compensation expense, preclinical expenses, clinical trial and related clinical manufacturing expenses, contract services and other outside expenses. Expenses incurred for certain research and development activities,
10

Table of Contents
including expenses associated with particular activities performed by contract research organizations, investigative sites in connection with clinical trials and contract manufacturing organizations, are recognized based on an evaluation of the progress or completion of specific tasks using either time-based measures or data such as information provided to the Company by its vendors on actual activities completed or costs incurred. Payments for these activities are based on the terms of the individual arrangements, which may differ from the pattern of expense recognition. Expenses for research and development activities incurred that have yet to be invoiced by the vendors that perform the related activities are recorded as accrued research and development expenses. Advance payments for goods or services to be received in the future for research and development activities are deferred and capitalized. The capitalized amounts are expensed as the related goods are delivered or the services are performed.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
There were no recently adopted accounting pronouncements that had a material impact on the Company's financial statements, and no recently issued accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
3. Marketable Securities

4. Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets measured on a recurring basis are classified based upon a fair value hierarchy consisting of the following three levels:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets, or liabilities.
Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the instrument.
Level 3 — Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity's pricing based upon their own market assumptions.
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following:

The Company’s corporate debt securities, non-U.S. government securities, and commercial paper are classified as Level 2 and valued utilizing various market and industry inputs.
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments that have maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. The carrying amounts for cash equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities.
5. Collaboration, Licensing and Variable Interest Entities
MapKure
In June 2019, the Company announced the formation of MapKure LLC, or MapKure, an entity jointly owned by the Company and BeiGene Ltd., or BeiGene. BeiGene licensed to MapKure exclusive rights to brimarafenib (BGB-3245), an investigational oral, small molecule selective inhibitor of specific BRAF driver mutations and genetic fusions. MapKure is advancing brimarafenib through clinical development for solid tumor patients harboring BRAF driver mutations and genetic fusions that were observed to be sensitive to the compound in preclinical studies. In addition to the Company’s equity ownership in MapKure, the Company maintains a member on each of MapKure’s joint steering committee and board of directors. The Company also contributes to clinical development and other operational activities for brimarafenib through a service agreement with MapKure.
In conjunction with the formation of MapKure in June 2019, the Company purchased 3,500,000 Series A preferred units of MapKure, or a 25.0% ownership interest, for $3.5 million and in June 2020, the Company purchased an additional 3,500,000 Series A preferred units of MapKure for $3.5 million, increasing its ownership interest to 38.9%, as required by the terms of the Series A unit purchase agreement.
In June 2022, the Company made an additional investment in MapKure and purchased 4,200,000 Series B preferred units of MapKure for $4.2 million, pursuant to the terms of a Series B preferred unit purchase agreement. In January 2023, pursuant to terms of the Series B preferred unit purchase agreement, the Company purchased an additional 2,800,000 Series B preferred units of MapKure for $2.8 million. As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s ownership interest in MapKure was 38.9%.
The Company determined that MapKure is a variable interest entity. The Company is not the primary beneficiary, as the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of MapKure. Accordingly, the Company does not consolidate the financial statements of this entity and accounts for this investment using the equity method of accounting based on a one quarter lag.
The Company recognized an equity loss of $0.9 million and $2.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively and $0.4 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The Company’s ownership interest in MapKure is included in Equity method investments. The balance of the Company’s investment was $4.8 million as of June 30, 2023, representing the maximum exposure to loss as a result of the Company’s involvement with MapKure.
GSK Expanded Non-exclusive License and Collaboration Agreement
In September 2022, the Company announced an expansion of its ongoing, non-exclusive clinical collaboration with GSK plc, formerly GlaxoSmithKline plc, or GSK, which originally commenced in June 2019. The announcement coincided with the entry by the Company and GSK into an amended and restated collaboration and license agreement, or the GSK License Agreement, for the potential continued development and commercialization of nirogacestat in combination with either belantamab mafodotin (belamaf), GSK’s antibody-drug conjugate, or ADC, targeting B-cell maturation antigen, or BCMA, or any other cytotoxic ADC targeting BCMA derived from belantamab that is controlled by GSK, either alone as a combination therapy, or together with other pharmaceutical agents.
Pursuant to the terms of the GSK License Agreement and concurrent with the execution of such agreement, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with an affiliate of GSK, Glaxo Group Limited, or GGL, under which GGL purchased 2,050,819 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, or Common Stock, in a private placement transaction for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $75.0 million, or $36.57 per share. The shares were sold at a 25% premium to the volume-weighted average share price of the Common Stock for a specified 30-day period prior to entering into the Stock Purchase Agreement. The fair value of the Common Stock based on the closing price of Common Stock on the day prior to the effective date of the Stock Purchase Agreement was $55.5 million and was recorded to equity. The $19.5 million of consideration received in excess of the fair value of the Common Stock represents consideration for the license for the potential

continued development and commercialization of nirogacestat in combination with GSK compounds, together with the clinical supply of nirogacestat for future belamaf clinical trials and certain research and development costs associated with nirogacestat. The Company recorded the $19.5 million as deferred revenue in September of 2022 and will recognize revenue as the corresponding performance obligation is satisfied in proportion to expenses incurred, including clinical supply and research and development expenses, associated with the GSK License Agreement. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the revenue related to the upfront consideration received from the GSK License Agreement is insignificant.

7. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company enters into contracts in the normal course of business for clinical trials, preclinical studies, manufacturing and other services and products for operating purposes. These contracts generally provide for termination following a certain period after notice and therefore the Company believes that non-cancelable obligations under these agreements are not material.
Additionally, the Company has excluded milestone or royalty payments or other contractual payment obligations as the timing and amounts of such obligations are unknown or uncertain.

Leases
In October 2018, the Company entered into a lease for its corporate headquarters in Stamford, CT. In January 2022, the Company amended this lease agreement to extend the lease term through April 2028, with two five-year renewal options or one ten-year renewal option. Pursuant to the amendment, the Company is entitled to $0.5 million in tenant allowances, which may be used to offset certain future capital expenditures, and the lease payments increase by 2.5% each year commencing December 1, 2022.
In March 2023, the Company entered into a five-year operating lease in Research Triangle Park in Durham, NC (the location of the Company’s discovery lab and translational operations), with two consecutive five-year renewal options. The lease payments increase by 3.0% in each of the subsequent four years of the five-year operating lease term. Rental payments under the renewal period will be at current market rates for the premises.
In August 2018, the Company entered into a five-year operating lease in Durham, NC, for additional office space which houses various corporate functions including clinical development operations. In May 2023, the Company amended this lease agreement to extend the lease term through September 30, 2026, with two consecutive five-year renewal options. Pursuant to the amendment, the lease payments increase by 3.0% each year, commencing October 1, 2023.
As of June 30, 2023, future lease payments under non-cancelable leases with terms greater than one year are as follows:

Contingencies
From time to time, the Company may be involved in disputes or regulatory inquiries that arise in the ordinary course of business. When the Company determines that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, a liability is recorded and disclosed if the amount is material to the financial statements taken as a whole. When a material loss contingency is only reasonably possible, the Company does not record a liability, but instead discloses the nature and the amount of the claim, and an estimate of the loss or range of loss, if such an estimate can reasonably be made.
As of June 30, 2023, there was no litigation or contingency with at least a reasonable possibility of a material loss.
8. Stock-Based Compensation
2019 Equity Incentive Plan
The Company's 2019 Stock Option and Equity Incentive Plan, or 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, restricted stock awards, unrestricted stock awards and dividend equivalent rights to the Company’s officers, employees, directors and other key persons (including consultants). The number of shares available for issuance under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan is cumulatively increased each January 1, through and including January 1, 2030, by 5% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31 or such lesser number of shares determined by the Company’s compensation committee.
As of June 30, 2023, there were 2,643,308 shares available for issuance in connection with future awards under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan.

Overview
We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company applying a precision medicine approach to acquiring, developing and commercializing life-changing medicines for underserved patient populations suffering from devastating rare diseases and cancer. We have a differentiated portfolio of small molecule targeted oncology product candidates and are advancing programs in both rare tumor types as well as highly prevalent, genetically defined cancers. Our strategic approach and operational excellence across research, translational science, and clinical development have enabled us to rapidly advance our two lead product candidates into late-stage clinical trials and generate clinical data to support a regulatory filing for our lead product candidate. We have also entered into multiple shared-value partnerships with industry leaders to expand our portfolio. From this foundation, we are continuing to build a differentiated fully-integrated biopharmaceutical company intensely focused on understanding patients and their diseases in order to develop transformative targeted medicines.
Our most advanced product candidate, nirogacestat, is an investigational oral, small molecule gamma secretase inhibitor in development as a monotherapy for the treatment of desmoid tumors, a rare and often debilitating and disfiguring soft tissue tumor for which there are currently no therapies approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA. In December 2022, we submitted a New Drug Application, or NDA, to the FDA for nirogacestat for the treatment of adults with desmoid tumors. On February 27, 2023, we announced that the FDA accepted the NDA filing and granted priority review with an assigned Prescription Drug User Fee Act, or PDUFA, target action date of August 27, 2023. On June 2, 2023, the FDA notified the Company that it had updated the PDUFA action date for the NDA by the standard extension period of three months to allow more time to review additional analyses of previously submitted data that had been provided by the Company in response to the FDA's information requests. The updated PDUFA action date for the NDA is November 27, 2023. The FDA has granted Fast Track and Breakthrough Therapy designations to nirogacestat for the treatment of adult patients with progressive, unresectable, recurrent or refractory desmoid tumors or deep fibromatosis. Nirogacestat has also received Orphan Drug designation from the FDA for the treatment of desmoid tumors and from the European Commission for the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma. The NDA submission is supported by positive data from the Phase 3 DeFi trial, a global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in adult patients with desmoid tumors. These positive Phase 3 data were announced in May 2022 and subsequently published in the New England Journal of Medicine, with additional data presented at various top tier scientific conferences, including the European Society for Medical Oncology Congress (ESMO) 2022 and American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting 2023. The Phase 3 DeFi trial met its primary endpoint of improving progression-free survival demonstrating a statistically significant improvement for nirogacestat over placebo, with a 71% reduction in the risk of disease progression (hazard ratio (HR) = 0.29 (95% CI: 0.15, 0.55); p < 0.001). Nirogacestat also demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in objective response rate and in patient-reported outcomes all of which were prespecified secondary endpoints of the study. In addition, nirogacestat exhibited a manageable safety profile in the Phase 3 DeFi trial, with 95% of all treatment-emergent adverse events, or TEAEs, reported as Grade 1 or 2. The most frequently reported TEAEs in participants receiving nirogacestat were diarrhea, nausea, and fatigue. Furthermore, events of ovarian dysfunction, which was defined by investigator-reported events of amenorrhea, premature menopause, menopause, and ovarian failure, and which was observed in 75% of women of childbearing potential receiving nirogacestat, resolved in 74% of the affected participants.

Table of Contents
We are actively engaged in commercial preparations to support the U.S. launch of nirogacestat, if approved, for the treatment of adults with desmoid tumors. We also expect to file a Marketing Authorization Application with the European Medicines Agency in the European Union in 2024.

We are also evaluating nirogacestat for the treatment of ovarian granulosa cell tumors, or GCT, a subtype of ovarian cancer. In May 2023, we announced full enrollment of the ongoing Phase 2 trial evaluating nirogacestat as a monotherapy in patients with recurrent ovarian GCT. We expect to report initial data from the trial in 2024.

Our second product candidate is mirdametinib, an investigational oral, small molecule MEK inhibitor currently in development for the treatment of neurofibromatosis type 1-associated plexiform neurofibromas, or NF1-PN, a rare tumor of the peripheral nerve sheath that causes significant pain and disfigurement. We believe that mirdametinib has the potential to offer a best-in-class profile in order to enable the long-term treatment required for this patient population, as compared to other MEK inhibitors. The FDA has granted mirdametinib both Orphan Drug Designation and Fast Track Designation for NF1-PN, and the European Commission has granted mirdametinib Orphan Drug Designation for NF1. In November 2021, we announced full enrollment of the ReNeu trial, a potentially registrational Phase 2b clinical trial of mirdametinib for pediatric and adult patients with NF1-PN, and we expect to report topline data for the ReNeu trial in the fourth quarter of 2023 and, if these data are positive, we plan to submit an NDA for mirdametinib to the FDA for the treatment of NF1-PN in the first half of 2024.

In hematologic malignancies, we are evaluating novel combination regimens of nirogacestat alongside B-cell maturation antigen, or BCMA, directed therapies for the treatment of multiple myeloma. We have entered into several clinical collaboration agreements with industry partners to evaluate nirogacestat in combination with several different BCMA-directed therapies. In June 2023, updated clinical data from the GSK-sponsored Phase 1/2 trial of nirogacestat in combination with low-dose belamaf (belantamab mafodotin-blmf) and initial clinical data from the Janssen Research and Development, LLC, or Janssen,-sponsored Phase 1b clinical trial evaluating nirogacestat in combination with teclistamab, a bispecific antibody targeting BCMA and CD3, were presented at the European Hematology Association (EHA) 2023 Congress. The updated clinical data from the GSK-sponsored trial, as of the December 9, 2022 data cut-off date, continued to support that combining nirogacestat with a low dose of belamaf may result in comparable efficacy to a higher monotherapy belamaf dose, while simultaneously and substantially reducing the frequency of high-grade ocular adverse events. The initial clinical data from the Janssen-sponsored trial, as of the December 16, 2022 data cut-off date, represented the first clinical data set of nirogacestat in combination with a BCMA bispecific agent, with the results demonstrating high and deep response rates for the nirogacestat plus teclistamab combination across all dose levels assessed and an optimized safety profile with delayed administration of lower-dose nirogacestat. In addition to our industry collaborations, we are working with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute to further explore nirogacestat’s ability to potentiate BCMA-directed therapies as part of sponsored research agreements.

In genetically defined metastatic solid tumors, our current clinical-stage efforts center on the mitogen activated protein kinase, or MAPK, pathway. We are evaluating mirdametinib for the treatment of solid tumors harboring MAPK aberrations in both monotherapy and combination approaches. In collaboration with BeiGene, Ltd., or BeiGene, we are exploring the combination of mirdametinib with BeiGene’s lifirafenib in RAS mutated and other MAPK aberrant cancers. In addition, we are exploring the use of brimarafenib (BGB-3245) in a distinct set of genetically defined BRAF mutated tumors via MapKure, LLC an entity jointly owned by us and BeiGene. In April 2023, we presented clinical data from both the ongoing Phase 1b trial evaluating mirdametinib in combination with lifirafenib in patients with advanced or refractory solid tumors with RAS mutations, RAF mutations and other MAPK pathway aberrations and the ongoing Phase 1a/1b trial evaluating brimarafenib in patients with advanced or refractory solid tumors harboring MAPK pathway aberrations at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting. These clinical data showed manageable safety profiles and clinical activity in various solid tumors with MAPK pathway aberrations. Dose expansion studies are currently planned or ongoing for each program. In February 2023, the first patient was dosed in a Phase 1/2a open-label, dose escalation and expansion trial evaluating mirdametinib in combination with brimarafenib in patients with advanced solid tumors harboring MAPK mutations. In academic-sponsored studies supported by SpringWorks, mirdametinib is being evaluated for the treatment of low-grade gliomas in children and young adults and other advanced solid tumors harboring various MAPK-activating mutations.

Furthermore, we intend to continue to build our portfolio with assets that have strong biological rationales and validated mechanisms of action, such as the TEA Domain, or TEAD, inhibitor program that we in-licensed from Katholieke Universiteit Leuven and the Flanders Institute for Biotechnology, and the portfolio of epidermal growth factor receptor small molecule inhibitors that we in-licensed from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. In the fourth quarter of 2022, we nominated a TEAD inhibitor development candidate, SW-682, and we plan to file an Investigational NDA for SW-682 in 2023. We continue to invest in our R&D infrastructure to support both our drug discovery capabilities and our translational medicine activities for development programs.

We plan to continue using shared-value partnerships to maximize the potential of our therapies to serve patients. We have invested in building leading preclinical, clinical, medical and commercial capabilities and have focused on structuring innovative partnerships that seek to align incentives and optimize business outcomes for each party involved. We believe that this approach will continue to allow us to expand our collaborative relationships with innovators, maximize the potential of our

existing and future portfolio, and support the building of a scalable and sustainable business focused on the efficient advancement and commercialization of product candidates that hold the potential to transform the lives of oncology patients.
Components of our results of operations
Revenue
We have not generated any commercial revenue from the sale of products. If our development efforts for our current product candidates or additional product candidates that we may develop in the future are successful and can be commercialized, we may generate revenue in the future from product sales. We may enter into collaboration and license agreements from time to time that provide for certain payments due to us. Accordingly, we may generate revenue from such collaboration or license agreements in the future.
Operating expenses
Research and development expenses
Our research and development expenses consist of expenses incurred in connection with the development of our product candidates. These expenses include:
employee-related expenses, which include salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation for our research and development personnel;
fees paid to consultants for services directly related to our research and development programs;
expenses incurred under agreements with third-party contract research organizations investigative clinical trial sites, academic institutions and consultants that conduct research and development activities on our behalf or in collaboration with us;
costs associated with discovery biology and medicinal chemistry efforts and with preclinical and clinical trials;
costs associated with the manufacture of drug substance and finished drug product for preclinical testing and clinical trials;
costs associated with technology and intellectual property licenses; and
an allocated portion of facilities and facility-related costs, which include expenses for rent and other facility-related costs and other supplies.
External costs for research and development expenses are tracked on a program-by-program basis. Expenditures for clinical development, including upfront licensing fees and milestone payments associated with our product candidates, are charged to research and development expense as incurred. These expenses consist of expenses incurred in performing development activities, including salaries and benefits, materials and supplies, preclinical expenses, clinical trial and related clinical manufacturing expenses, depreciation of equipment, contract services and other outside expenses. Costs for certain development activities, such as manufacturing and clinical trials, are recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using either time-based measures or data such as information provided to us by our vendors on actual activities completed or costs incurred.
We expect our research and development expenses to increase for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in activities related to developing our product candidates and our preclinical programs, and as certain product candidates advance into later stages of development, including nirogacestat, for which we submitted an NDA in December 2022, and the ReNeu trial. The process of conducting the necessary clinical trials to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time-consuming, and the successful development of our product candidates is highly uncertain. As a result, we are unable to determine the duration and completion costs of our research and development projects or when and to what extent we will generate revenue from the commercialization and sale of any of our product candidates.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs, including stock-based compensation, for personnel in executive, finance, corporate, commercial, business development and administrative functions. General and administrative expenses also include: commercial readiness activities; legal fees relating to patent and corporate matters; professional fees for accounting, auditing, tax and administrative consulting services; insurance costs; administrative travel expenses; and facility-related expenses, which include direct depreciation costs and allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities and other operating costs.
19

Table of Contents
We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future as we increase our headcount to support the continued development of our product candidates and expand operations to support the organization, including commercialization of our product candidates.
Interest and other income
Interest and other income consists primarily of interest income. Interest income consists of interest earned on our cash, cash equivalents and available-for-sale marketable securities.
Equity investment loss
The equity investment loss represents our share of losses from the MapKure investment, which is accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

Research and development expense decreased by $2.2 million to $35.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $38.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of 6%.
The decrease in research and development expense was primarily attributable to a decrease of $2.7 million in external costs related to drug manufacturing, clinical trials and other research, partially offset by an increase of $0.6 million in internal costs driven by the growth in employee costs associated with increases in the number of personnel, including an increase in stock-based compensation expense.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expense was $47.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $16.0 million from $31.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
The increase in general and administrative expense was largely attributable to commercial readiness activities to support the U.S. launch of nirogacestat, if approved, for the treatment of adults with desmoid tumors. The increase in general and administrative expense included a $10.4 million increase in internal costs and a $5.6 million increase in consulting and professional services. The increase in internal costs was attributable to the growth in employee costs associated with increases in the number of personnel, including an increase in stock-based compensation expense, driven by the growth of our commercial organization, which included establishing certain sales, marketing, and commercialization functions. The increase

in consulting and professional services was also primarily attributable to commercial readiness activities as we expand the capabilities of the organization.
Interest and Other Income
The increase in interest and other income was driven by an increase in interest income, net, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was attributable to higher market yield and increased cash from financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2022.

The decrease in research and development expense was primarily attributable to a decrease of $6.5 million in external costs related to drug manufacturing, clinical trials and other research, partially offset by an increase of $3.8 million in internal costs driven by the growth in employee costs associated with increases in the number of personnel, including an increase in stock-based compensation expense.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expense was $91.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $32.8 million or 56% from $58.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
The increase in general and administrative expense was largely attributable to commercial readiness activities to support the U.S. launch of nirogacestat, if approved, for the treatment of adults with desmoid tumors. The increase in general and administrative expense included a $19.5 million increase in internal costs and a $13.3 million increase in consulting and professional services. The increase in internal costs was attributable to the growth in employee costs associated with increases in the number of personnel, including an increase in stock-based compensation expense, driven by the growth of our commercial organization, which included establishing certain sales, marketing, and commercialization functions. The increase in consulting and professional services was also primarily attributable to commercial readiness activities as we expand the capabilities of the organization.
Interest and Other Income
The increase in interest and other income was driven by an increase in interest income, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
We have incurred operating losses and experienced negative operating cash flows since our inception and anticipate that we will continue to incur losses for at least the foreseeable future. Our net loss was $151.3 million and $130.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We had an accumulated deficit of $721.3 million and $569.9 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Based on our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balances as of June 30, 2023, management estimates that our liquidity position will enable it to meet operating expenses through at least twelve months after the date that this Quarterly Report is filed. Our marketable securities consist of high-quality, highly liquid available-for-sale debt securities including corporate debt securities, U.S. government securities, non-U.S. government securities, and commercial paper.

Funding Requirements
22

Table of Contents
Our primary use of cash is to fund operating expenses, including our research and development programs, as well as our commercialization activities and corporate operations. Cash used to fund operating expenses is impacted by the timing of when we pay these expenses, as reflected in the change in our outstanding accounts payable, accrued expenses and prepaid expenses.
Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including the following:
the initiation, progress, timing, costs and results of preclinical studies and clinical trials for our product candidates;
the cost of establishing sales, marketing and distribution capabilities for any product candidates for which we may receive regulatory approval in regions where we choose to commercialize our products on our own;
the degree of commercial success achieved following the successful completion of development and regulatory approval activities for a product candidate;
the clinical development plans we establish for our product candidates;
the number and characteristics of product candidates that we develop;
the outcome, timing and cost of meeting regulatory requirements established by the FDA, the European Medicines Agency and other comparable foreign regulatory authorities;
the terms of our existing and any future license or collaboration agreements we may choose to enter into, including the amount of upfront, milestone and royalty obligations;
the other costs associated with in-licensing new technologies, such as any increased costs of research and development and personnel;
the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing our patent claims and other intellectual property rights;
the cost of defending intellectual property disputes, including patent infringement actions brought by third parties against us or our product candidates;
the effect of competing technological and market developments; and
the cost and timing of completion of commercial-scale outsourced manufacturing activities.
We will need additional funds to meet operational needs and capital requirements for clinical trials, other research and development expenditures, commercial activities and business development efforts. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development and commercialization of our product candidates, we are unable to estimate the amounts of increased capital outlays and operating expenditures associated with our current and anticipated clinical studies.
Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenue, we expect to finance our operations through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, current ownership interests will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect rights of common stockholders. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making acquisitions or capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates, or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings or other arrangements when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our research, product development or future commercialization efforts, or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.
Effects of Inflation
Although our operations are influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our business, financial condition, or operating results during the periods presented.
Contractual Obligations
In October 2018, the Company entered into a lease for its corporate headquarters in Stamford, CT. In January 2022, the Company amended this lease agreement to extend the lease term through April 2028, with two five-year renewal options or one ten-year renewal option. Pursuant to the amendment, the Company is entitled to $0.5 million in tenant allowances, which may be used to offset certain future capital expenditures, and the lease payments increase by 2.5% each year commencing December 1, 2022.
In March 2023, the Company entered into a five-year operating lease in Research Triangle Park in Durham, NC (the location of the Company’s discovery lab and translational operations), with two consecutive five-year renewal options. The lease payments
23

Table of Contents
increase by 3.0% in each of the subsequent four years of the five-year operating lease term. Rental payments under the renewal period will be at current market rates for the premises.
In August 2018, the Company entered into a five-year operating lease in Durham, NC, for additional office space which houses various corporate functions including clinical development operations. In May 2023, the Company amended this lease agreement to extend the lease term through September 30, 2026, with two consecutive five-year renewal options. Pursuant to the amendment, the lease payments increase by 3.0% each year, commencing October 1, 2023.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company's future lease payments under non-cancelable leases with terms greater than one year are as follows:

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, there were no other material changes to our contractual obligations and commitments than those described under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Contractual Obligations” in Part II Item 6. of our 2022 Form 10-K.
We enter into contracts in the normal course of business for clinical trials, preclinical studies, manufacturing and other services and products for operating purposes. These contracts generally provide for termination following a certain period after notice and therefore we believe that our non-cancelable obligations under these agreements are not material.
Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the related disclosures in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These accounting policies involve critical accounting estimates because they are particularly dependent on estimates and assumptions made by management about matters that are uncertain at the time the accounting estimates are made. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or relevant factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments; however, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results may differ from those estimates, judgments or assumptions, and such differences could be material. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, judgments and assumptions, and adjust those estimates, judgments and assumptions when facts or circumstances change. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Although we believe that these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ.
We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 3, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the notes to the financial statements included in our 2022 Form 10-K. We discuss our critical accounting estimates in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in our 2022 Form 10-K. There have been no changes in our significant accounting policies or critical accounting estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
There were no material changes to our market risks from those described in Part II Item 7A. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, of our 2022 Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
24

Table of Contents
as amended, or the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective at a reasonable assurance level in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure. We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we are not a party to any material legal proceedings. In the future, we may be involved in various claims and legal proceedings relating to claims arising out of our operations. The outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty and some lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to us, which could materially affect our financial condition or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information contained elsewhere in this report and below, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in our “Part I, Item 1A—Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, or 2022 Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2023, which could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. New risk factors can emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict the impact that any factor or combination of factors may have on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. The risk factors disclosure in our 2022 Form 10-K is qualified by the information that is described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The risks described below and in our 2022 Form 10-K are not our only risks. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results. See below for additional risks and those risks which we consider materially updated from our 2022 Form 10-K.
Adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, such as actual events or concerns involving liquidity, defaults, or non-performance by financial institutions or transactional counterparties, could adversely affect the Company’s current and projected business operations and its financial condition and results of operations.
Actual events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions, transactional counterparties or other companies in the financial services industry or the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds or other similar risks, have in the past and may in the future lead to market-wide liquidity problems. For example, on March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank, or SVB, was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, as receiver. Similarly, on March 12, 2023, Signature Bank and Silvergate Capital Corp. were each swept into receivership. Although a statement by the Department of the Treasury, the Federal Reserve and the FDIC indicated that all depositors of SVB would have access to all of their money after only one business day of closure, including funds held in uninsured deposit accounts, borrowers under credit agreements, letters of credit and certain other financial instruments with SVB, Signature Bank or any other financial institution that is placed into receivership by the FDIC may be unable to access undrawn amounts thereunder or obtain such access in a timely manner. If any of our counterparties to any such instruments were to be placed into receivership, we may be unable to access such funds. In addition, if any of our customers, suppliers or other parties with whom we conduct business are unable to access funds pursuant to such instruments or lending arrangements with such a financial institution, such parties’ ability to pay their obligations to us or to enter into new commercial arrangements requiring additional payments to us could be adversely affected. In this regard, counterparties to SVB credit agreements and arrangements, and third parties such as beneficiaries of letters of credit (among others), may experience direct impacts from the closure of SVB and uncertainty remains over liquidity concerns in the broader financial services industry. Similar impacts have occurred in the past, such as during the 2008-2010 financial crisis.
Inflation and rapid increases in interest rates have led to a decline in the trading value of previously issued government securities with interest rates below current market interest rates. Although the U.S. Department of Treasury, FDIC and Federal Reserve Board have announced a program to provide up to $25 billion of loans to financial institutions secured by certain of such government securities held by financial institutions to mitigate the risk of potential losses on the sale of such instruments, widespread demands for customer withdrawals or other liquidity needs of financial institutions for immediately liquidity may exceed the capacity of such program. Additionally, there is no guarantee that the U.S. Department of Treasury, FDIC and Federal Reserve Board will provide access to uninsured funds in the future in the event of the closure of other banks or financial institutions, or that they would do so in a timely fashion.
Although we assess our banking and customer relationships as we believe necessary or appropriate, our access to funding sources and other credit arrangements in amounts adequate to finance or capitalize our current and projected future business operations could be significantly impaired by factors that affect the Company, the financial institutions with which the Company may have credit agreements or arrangements directly, or the financial services industry or economy in general. These factors could include, among others, events such as liquidity constraints or failures, the ability to perform obligations under various types of financial, credit or liquidity agreements or arrangements, disruptions or instability in the financial services industry or financial markets, or concerns or negative expectations about the prospects for companies in the financial services industry. These factors could involve financial institutions or financial services industry companies with which the Company
26

Table of Contents
has financial or business relationships, but could also include factors involving financial markets or the financial services industry generally.
The results of events or concerns that involve one or more of these factors could include a variety of material and adverse impacts on our current and projected business operations and our financial condition and results of operations. These could include, but may not be limited to, the following:
Delayed access to deposits or other financial assets or the uninsured loss of deposits or other financial assets; or
Termination of cash management arrangements and/or delays in accessing or actual loss of funds subject to cash management arrangements.
In addition, investor concerns regarding the U.S. or international financial systems could result in less favorable commercial financing terms, including higher interest rates or costs and tighter financial and operating covenants, or systemic limitations on access to credit and liquidity sources, thereby making it more difficult for us to acquire financing on acceptable terms or at all. Any decline in available funding or access to our cash and liquidity resources could, among other risks, adversely impact our ability to meet our operating expenses, financial obligations or fulfill our other obligations, result in breaches of our financial and/or contractual obligations or result in violations of federal or state wage and hour laws. Any of these impacts, or any other impacts resulting from the factors described above or other related or similar factors not described above, could have material adverse impacts on our liquidity and our current and/or projected business operations and financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, any further deterioration in the macroeconomic economy or financial services industry could lead to losses or defaults by our customers or suppliers, which in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our current and/or projected business operations and results of operations and financial condition. For example, a customer may fail to make payments when due, default under their agreements with us, become insolvent or declare bankruptcy, or a supplier may determine that it will no longer deal with us as a customer. In addition, a customer or supplier could be adversely affected by any of the liquidity or other risks that are described above as factors that could result in material adverse impacts on the Company, including but not limited to delayed access or loss of access to uninsured deposits or loss of the ability to draw on existing credit facilities involving a troubled or failed financial institution. Any customer or supplier bankruptcy or insolvency, or the failure of any customer to make payments when due, or any breach or default by a customer or supplier, or the loss of any significant supplier relationships, could result in material losses to the Company and may have a material adverse impact on our business.
