Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this report. This discussion and analysis and other parts of this report contain forward-looking statements based upon current beliefs, plans and expectations related to future events and our future financial performance that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions, such as statements regarding our intentions, plans, objectives, expectations, forecasts and projections. Our actual results and the timing of selected events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors, including those set forth under the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report.

Overview

We are a precision medicine oncology company committed to the discovery and development of targeted therapeutics for patient populations selected using molecular diagnostics. Our approach integrates small molecule drug discovery with extensive capabilities in identifying and validating translational biomarkers to develop targeted therapies for select patient populations that are most likely to benefit from these targeted therapies. Our small molecule drug discovery expertise includes discovery and development of small molecule therapeutics. We are applying these capabilities to develop a robust pipeline in precision medicine oncology.

Our clinical pipeline includes four potential first-in-class clinical-stage product candidates – darovasertib (PKC), IDE397 (MAT2A), IDE161 (PARG) and GSK101 (Pol Theta Helicase). We own or control all commercial rights of the three most-advanced of these product candidates: darovasertib, IDE397 and IDE161. We are also advancing our Werner Helicase program for which we have selected a development candidate in collaboration with GlaxoSmithKline, or GSK and, subject to investigational new drug-, or IND-, enabling studies, are targeting an IND in 2024. We also have multiple earlier-stage preclinical programs. We have established selective, value-accretive collaborations with leading pharmaceutical companies to support our clinical development activities.

Darovasertib – PKC Inhibitor Clinical Candidate in Metastatic Uveal Melanoma and Primary Uveal Melanoma

Our most advanced clinical program is evaluating darovasertib, or IDE196 which we in-licensed from Novartis, a small molecule protein kinase C, or PKC, inhibitor, in uveal melanoma, or UM. We are evaluating darovasertib in combination with crizotinib in a potential registrational clinical trial in patients having MUM. We are also evaluating darovasertib as monotherapy in a Phase 2 clinical trial in primary UM. We are further evaluating darovasertib in combination with crizotinib in a Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with cutaneous melanoma.

We have initiated and achieved double-digit patient enrollment and have opened multiple clinical sites, including international sites, where we are recruiting patients for enrollment in a potential registration-enabling Phase 2/3 clinical trial, designated as IDE196-002, to evaluate darovasertib in combination with crizotinib, Pfizer’s investigational cMET inhibitor, in patients having metastatic UM, or MUM, with human leukocyte antigen-, or HLA-A*02:01 negative, or HLA-A2(-), serotype, as part of a second Clinical Trial Collaboration and Supply Agreement, or Second Pfizer agreement, with Pfizer. We are targeting clinical program update(s) in 2024.

We are also planning to enroll additional HLA-A*02:01 positive, or HLA-A2(+), patients as an independent clinical strategy to address HLA-A2(+) MUM patients, in a clinical study. We are further evaluating darovasertib in combination with crizotinib in a Phase 2 expansion arm of IDE196-001 clinical trial in patients with cutaneous melanoma, alternatively referred to as skin melanoma.

We separately initiated and have achieved double-digit patient enrollment in our Phase 2 clinical trial, designated as IDE196-009, evaluating darovasertib as single-agent neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy in patients having primary UM, with ongoing enrollment and multiple clinical sites open. We are targeting a clinical efficacy update in mid-year 2024 and regulatory guidance update in 2024.

We are also supporting evaluation of darovasertib as single-agent neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy in primary UM in an ongoing investigator-sponsored clinical trial, or IST, captioned as “Neoadjuvant / Adjuvant trial of Darovasertib in Ocular Melanoma”, or NADOM, and led by St. Vincent’s Hospital in Sydney with the participation of Alfred Health and the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital in Melbourne. We are targeting a clinical efficacy update in mid-year 2024.

We own or control all commercial rights in our darovasertib program in uveal melanoma, including in MUM and in primary UM, subject to certain economic obligations pursuant to our exclusive, worldwide license to darovasertib with Novartis.

IDE397 – MAT2A Inhibitor Clinical Candidate in Tumors with MTAP Deletion

IDE397, our small molecule methionine adenosyltransferase 2a, or MAT2A, inhibitor, is being evaluated in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial. We are actively enrolling into the Phase 2 monotherapy expansion cohort in selected priority indications for patients having tumors with methylthioadenosine phosphorylase, or MTAP, gene deletion, including squamous non-small cell lung cancer, or NSCLC, bladder, gastric and esophageal cancers. We observed IDE397 monotherapy responses in multiple priority solid tumor types based on experience across several patients in the early phase of the Phase 2 dose expansion.

We are enrolling patients into a Phase 2 clinical trial designated as IDE397-001 to evaluate IDE397 for patients having certain tumors with MTAP gene deletion. We are proceeding with enrollment of MTAP-deletion patients into a monotherapy Phase 2 expansion cohort with an initial focus on high priority solid tumor types, including squamous NSCLC, bladder, esophageal and gastric cancers. In June 2023, we announced selection of a Phase 2 monotherapy expansion dose for IDE397 and in connection therewith, reported preliminary evidence of clinical activity as monotherapy.

In collaboration with Amgen as part of the Amgen Clinical Trial Collaboration and Supply Agreement, or Amgen CTCSA, we initiated patient enrollment in the Amgen-sponsored Phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating IDE397 in combination with AMG 193, the Amgen investigational MTA-cooperative protein arginine methyltransferase 5, or PRMT5, inhibitor, in patients having tumors with MTAP deletion, or the IDE397/AMG 193 combination study. This potential first-in-class synthetic lethality combination targets mechanistically complementary nodes of the MTAP methylation pathway – MAT2A and PRMT5 and is supported by data demonstrating preclinical anti-tumor efficacy presented at the 2023 Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research, or AACR 2023. We are targeting the development of a joint publication strategy in 2024.

We are collaborating with Gilead to clinically evaluate IDE397 in combination with Trodelvy, the Gilead Trop-2 directed ADC, in patients having MTAP deletion bladder cancer, in an IDEAYA-sponsored clinical trial pursuant to the Gilead CSCSA. We anticipate enrolling the first patient in this clinical trial in mid-year 2024.

We own all right, title and interest in and to IDE397 and the MAT2A program, including all worldwide commercial rights thereto.

IDE161 – PARG Inhibitor Clinical Candidate in Tumors with Homologous Recombination Deficiency

We are evaluating IDE161, a small molecule inhibitor of PARG being evaluated in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial designated as IDE161-001 for patients having tumors with HRD and potentially other genetic and/or molecular signatures. PARG is a novel target in a clinically validated biological pathway. PARG functions as a regulator of DNA repair in the same biochemical pathway as PARP. PARG hydrolyzes poly (ADP-ribose), or PAR, chains that are polymerized by PARP enzymes, completing the PAR cycle. Small molecule inhibitors of PARG result in a dose dependent increase in cellular PAR after DNA damage. PARG is a mechanistically distinct target relative to PARP.

We are progressing with enrollment of patients having tumors with HRD into the Phase 1 expansion portion of the Phase 1/2 clinical trial in selected priority tumors. In parallel, we are also continuing with Phase 1 dose optimization to confirm a move-forward expansion dose for the planned Phase 2 portion of the clinical trial. We are targeting clinical program update(s) in 2024. We are also validating IDE161 combination opportunities preclinically and targeting identification of potential combination(s) in 2024.

We received Fast Track Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA for IDE161 for ovarian cancer and breast cancer indications, specifically for the treatment of (i) adult, pretreated, platinum-resistant advanced or metastatic ovarian cancer patients having tumors with BRCA1/2 mutations and (ii) adult, pretreated, advanced or metastatic hormone receptor positive, or HR+, Her2- and BRCA1/2 mutant breast cancer patients.

We own or control all commercial rights in our PARG program, subject to certain economic obligations pursuant to our exclusive, worldwide license to certain PARG inhibitors, including IDE161, with CRT and University of Manchester.

Pol Theta

GSK101 (IDE705), our Pol Theta Helicase inhibitor clinical development candidate, is a potential first-in-class small molecule inhibitor of the helicase domain of Polymerase Theta, or Pol Theta. GSK101 was discovered and evaluated in preclinical studies in collaboration with GSK. Pursuant to the GSK Collaboration Agreement, GSK holds a global, exclusive

106

license to develop and commercialize Pol Theta products arising out of the Pol Theta program. GSK is leading clinical development for GSK101 and is responsible for all research and development costs for the Pol Theta program.

We are evaluating GSK101 in combination with niraparib, the GSK small molecule inhibitor of PARP for the treatment of patients having tumors with BRCA or other HR mutations, or HRD in a Phase 1 clinical trial. GSK has dosed the first patient in this trial.

GSK is leading clinical development of GSK101 pursuant to the GSK Collaboration Agreement. GSK is responsible for all research and development costs for the Pol Theta program.

We have the potential to receive an additional $10.0 million milestone payment upon initiation of Phase 1 clinical dose expansion. In August 2023, we achieved and earned a $7.0 million milestone based on acceptance of the IND by the FDA. An earlier preclinical development $3.0 million milestone payment from GSK was achieved in August 2022 in connection with ongoing IND-enabling studies to support evaluation of GSK101.

We have the potential to earn further aggregate later‐stage development and regulatory milestones of up to $465 million. Upon commercialization, we will be eligible to receive up to $475 million of commercial milestones, and tiered royalties on global net sales of GSK101 – ranging from high single-digit to sub-teen double-digit percentages, subject to certain customary reductions.

WRN Program in Tumors with High Microsatellite Instability

We selected a Werner Helicase Inhibitor DC in collaboration with GSK. This Werner Helicase Inhibitor DC is targeting the helicase domain of the Werner, or WRN, protein, for patients having tumors with high microsatellite instability, or MSI. Subject to successful completion of ongoing IND-enabling studies, we are targeting an IND submission in 2024 to enable first-in-human clinical evaluation of Werner Helicase Inhibitor DC for patients having tumors with high MSI.

We are collaborating with GSK on the ongoing IND-enabling studies and, subject to IND submission and FDA allowance of clinical development, GSK will lead clinical development for the Werner Helicase program.

In October 2023, we earned a $3 million milestone in connection with IND-enabling studies, for which payment was received in November 2023. We have the potential to earn up to an additional $17 million aggregate milestone payments through early Phase 1 clinical studies, including $7.0 million upon IND clearance. We are also eligible to receive additional future aggregate total development milestones of up to $465 million. Upon commercialization, we will be eligible to receive up to $475 million of commercial milestones, 50% of U.S. net profits and tiered royalties on global non-U.S. net sales of the Werner Helicase Inhibitor DC – ranging from high single-digit to sub-teen double-digit percentages, subject to certain customary reductions.

Other Pipeline Programs (Defined Biomarkers)

We have initiated early preclinical research programs focused on pharmacological inhibition of several new targets, or NTs, for patients with solid tumors characterized by defined biomarkers based on genetic mutations and/or molecular signatures. We believe these research programs have the potential for discovery and development of first-in-class or unique-in-class or best-in-class therapeutics. We are targeting development candidate nominations in 2024 for multiple NTs, including a development candidate to treat MTAP-deletion solid tumors. We own or control all commercial rights in our next-generation programs.

New Target and Biomarker Discovery Platform

We have invested significantly and continue to invest in capabilities for identification and validation of new precision medicine targets and biomarkers for patient selection. For targets of interest, we advance our research to discover therapeutic drugs and to further qualify relevant biomarkers.

We own or control all commercial rights in programs directed to targets identified in on our new target and biomarker discovery platform.

the overallotment option by the underwriters, pursuant to which we received aggregate net proceeds of $86.1 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses.

Corporate Update

We do not have any products approved for sale and have not generated any product revenue since inception. We have funded our operations through December 31, 2023 primarily through the sale and issuance of common stock, pre-funded warrants, redeemable convertible preferred stock, and convertible promissory notes, including our initial public offering, or IPO, in May 2019, a follow-on underwritten public offering in June 2020, a direct private placement equity investment by Glaxo Group Limited, an affiliate of GSK, in June 2020, the sale and issuance of common stock under our at-the-market facility pursuant to the August 2020 and January 2021 Sales Agreements with Jefferies as sales agent, and through additional follow-on underwritten public offerings in July 2021, September 2022, April 2023 and October 2023. Additionally, we received a non-dilutive upfront cash payment of $100 million from GSK in connection with the GSK Collaboration Agreement in July 2020. As of December 31, 2023, GSK has made aggregate payments to us in the amount of $13.0 million for the achievement of certain development and regulatory milestones with respect to Pol Theta and WRN products.

Since our inception in June 2015, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to discovering and developing our product candidates. We have incurred significant operating losses to date and expect that our operating expenses will increase significantly as we advance our product candidates through preclinical and clinical development; seek regulatory approval, and prepare for, and, if approved, proceed to commercialization; acquire, discover, validate and develop additional product candidates; obtain, maintain, protect and enforce our intellectual property portfolio; and hire additional personnel. Certain program costs that contribute to our operating expenses have been and/or will be reimbursed by GSK pursuant to the GSK Collaboration Agreement, including 100% of costs we incur for research we perform in connection with the Pol Theta program and 80% of the aggregate program costs incurred by us and GSK for research each of us performs for the Werner Helicase program. We anticipate that payments which we may make to Amgen will also contribute to our operating expenses as they are reimbursed by us pursuant to the Amgen CTCSA, including 50% of external costs Amgen incurs in connection with the Amgen-sponsored and executed IDE397 / AMG 193 Combination Study. We anticipate that we will also incur costs in accordance with the Gilead CSCSA. Gilead will bear internal or external costs incurred in connection with its supply of Trodelvy. We will bear all internal and external costs and expenses associated with the conduct of the combination study. In addition, we expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company.

Our net losses were $113.0 million and $58.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $348.4 million.

Our ability to generate product revenue will depend on the successful development, regulatory approval and eventual commercialization of one or more of our product candidates, ourselves, or for some programs, in collaboration with our strategic partners.

Until such time as we can generate significant revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through the sale of equity, debt financings, or other capital sources, including potential collaborations with other companies or other strategic transactions. Adequate funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we fail to raise capital or enter into such agreements as and when needed, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and commercialization of our product candidates.

As of December 31, 2023, we had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term and long-term marketable securities of $632.6 million.

We believe that our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term and long-term marketable securities will be sufficient to fund our planned operations for at least twelve months from the date of the issuance of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed February 20, 2024.

These funds will support our efforts through potential achievement of multiple preclinical and clinical milestones across multiple programs.

Components of Operating Results

Collaboration Revenues

To date, we have not generated any revenue from product sales, and we do not expect to generate any revenue from product sales unless and until we are able to initiate a registrational clinical trial, obtain regulatory approval and commercialize one of our product candidates in the future. Our revenue consists exclusively of collaboration revenue under the GSK Collaboration

109

Agreement, including amounts that are recognized related to previously received upfront payments and amounts due and payable to us for research and development services. The amount of revenue recognized related to the GSK Collaboration Agreement, including as related to the previously received upfront payment or to certain development milestone payments, may vary considerably by period and certain components thereof may generally decrease year-over-year as we satisfy remaining performance obligations, for example, relating to the Pol Theta and WRN R&D Services. As of December 31, 2023, we have fully recognized the contract liabilities related to the upfront payment and reimbursements for the research and development performance obligations under the GSK Collaboration Agreement. There are no remaining contract liabilities as of December 31, 2023 as we concluded all the research and development performance obligations under the GSK Collaboration Agreement. The future revenue recognition will be contingent on additional milestone earned, profit sharing and royalties on any net product sales under our collaborations. We expect that any revenue we recognize or generate under the GSK Collaboration Agreement will fluctuate from period to period due to period to period variability in milestone payments and other payments.

Operating Expenses

Research and Development Expenses

Substantially all of our research and development expenses consist of expenses incurred in connection with discovery and development of our product candidates. These expenses include certain payroll and personnel-related expenses, including salaries, employee benefit costs and stock-based compensation expenses for our research and product development employees, fees to third parties to conduct certain research and development activities on our behalf including fees to CMOs and CROs in support of manufacturing and clinical activity for darovasertib, IDE397, IDE161 and WRN, consulting costs, costs for laboratory supplies, costs for product licenses and allocated overhead, including rent, equipment, depreciation, information technology costs and utilities. We expense both internal and external research and development expenses as they are incurred.

We have entered into various agreements with CMOs and CROs. Our research and development accruals are estimated based on the level of services performed, progress of the studies, including the phase or completion of events, and contracted costs. The estimated costs of research and development provided, but not yet invoiced, are included in accrued liabilities on the balance sheet. If the actual timing of the performance of services or the level of effort varies from the original estimates, we will adjust the accrual accordingly. Payments made to CMOs and CROs under these arrangements in advance of the performance of the related services are recorded as prepaid expenses and other current assets until the services are rendered.

Costs of certain activities, such as preclinical studies, are generally recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks. Nonrefundable payments made prior to the receipt of goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities are deferred and capitalized as prepaid expenses and other current assets on our balance sheet. The capitalized amounts are recognized as expense as the goods are delivered or the related services are performed.

We do not allocate our internal costs by product candidate, including internal costs, such as payroll and other personnel expenses, laboratory supplies and allocated overhead. With respect to internal costs, several of our departments support multiple product candidate research and development programs, and therefore the costs cannot be allocated to a particular product candidate or development program. The following table summarizes our external clinical development expenses by program:

[[GREPCENT_TABLE]]

(1)
External clinical development expenses include manufacturing and clinical trial costs. These expenses are primarily for services provided by external consultants, CMOs and CROs.

(2)
IDE397 includes costs from Amgen Clinical Trial Collaboration and Supply Agreement

We are focusing substantially all of our resources on the development of our product candidates. We expect our research and development expenses to increase substantially during the next few years, as we seek to initiate and/or advance clinical trials for our product candidates, complete our clinical program, pursue regulatory approval of our product candidates and prepare for a possible commercial launch. Predicting the timing or the cost to complete our clinical program or validation of our commercial manufacturing and supply processes is difficult and delays may occur because of many factors, including factors outside of our control. For example, if the FDA or other regulatory authorities were to require us to conduct clinical trials

110

beyond those that we currently anticipate, or if we experience significant delays in enrollment in any of our clinical trials, we could be required to expend significant additional financial resources and time on the completion of clinical development. Furthermore, we are unable to predict when or if our product candidates will receive regulatory approval with any certainty.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and personnel-related expenses, including salaries, employee benefit costs and stock-based compensation expense, professional fees for legal, patent, consulting, accounting and tax services, allocated overhead, including rent, equipment, depreciation, information technology costs and utilities, and other general operating expenses not otherwise classified as research and development expenses.

We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will increase, as a result of increased personnel costs, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense, patent costs for our product candidates, expanded infrastructure and higher consulting, legal and accounting services associated with maintaining compliance with our Nasdaq stock exchange listing and requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, investor relations costs and director and officer insurance policy premiums associated with being a public company.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest Income and Other Income (Expense), Net

Interest income and other income (expense), net consists primarily of interest income earned on our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.

Collaboration Revenue

Collaboration revenue decreased by $27.5 million, or 54%, during the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. In July 2020, the GSK Collaboration Agreement became effective, and we started recognizing collaboration revenue, which consists of revenue from preclinical and Phase 1 monotherapy clinical research and development services under the MAT2A program as well as preclinical research services and the related license under the Pol Theta and WRN programs. Revenue we recognize from satisfaction of performance obligations under the GSK Collaboration Agreement is impacted by our estimates of the remaining costs to complete our obligations, which may vary due to changes to prospective collaboration research budgets or changes to respective allocation of resources and in any case require significant judgment, and may cause fluctuation in the revenue recognized from period to period.

111

During 2023, the Company recognized $23.4 million in revenue resulting from the progress in WRN R&D services and the Pol Theta program's IND acceptance milestone achievement and WRN program's toxicology study initiation milestone achievement.

As of December 31, 2023, we have fully recognized the contract liabilities related to the upfront payment and reimbursements for the research and development performance obligations under the GSK Collaboration Agreement. There are no remaining contract liabilities as of December 31, 2023 as we concluded all the research and development performance obligations under the GSK Collaboration Agreement. The future revenue recognition will be contingent on additional milestones earned, profit sharing and royalties on any net product sales under our collaborations. We expect that any revenue we recognize or generate under the GSK Collaboration Agreement will fluctuate from period to period due to period to period variability in milestone payments and other payments.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses increased by $40.0 million, or 45%, during the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to increases of $24.5 million in fees paid to CROs, CMOs and consultants related to the advancement of our lead product candidates through preclinical and clinical studies, $12.3 million in personnel-related expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation, primarily related to an increase in headcount to support our growth, and $3.2 million in costs for laboratory supplies, facilities, software and insurance premiums to support our research and development programs.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $4.4 million, or 18%, during the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increases of $1.6 million for consulting and legal services and $3.5 million in personnel-related expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation, related to an increase in headcount to support our growth, partially offset by a decrease in $0.1 million in software licenses and facility costs, and $0.6 million in directors and officer's insurance premiums.

Interest Income and Other Income (Expense), Net

Interest income increased by $17.6 million, or 458%, during the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to higher investment balances and interest rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources; Plan of Operations

Sources of Liquidity

We have funded our operations primarily through the sale and issuance of common stock, pre-funded warrants, redeemable convertible preferred stock, and convertible promissory notes, the up-front and milestone payment received from GSK. As of December 31, 2023, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $632.6 million, consisting primarily of money market funds, U.S. government securities, commercial paper, and corporate bonds.

Material Cash Requirements

We have incurred net losses since our inception. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had net losses of $113.0 million and $58.7 million, respectively, and we expect to incur substantial additional losses in future periods. As of December 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $348.4 million. Based on our current business plan, we believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund our planned operations for at least the next 12 months from the issuance date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

To date, we have not generated any product revenue. We do not expect to generate any meaningful product revenue unless and until we obtain regulatory approval of and commercialize any of our product candidates, and we do not know when, or if, it will occur. We expect to continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future, and we expect the losses to increase as we continue the development of, and seek regulatory approvals for, our product candidates and begin to commercialize any approved products. We are subject to all of the risks typically related to the development of new product candidates, and we may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors that may adversely affect our business. Moreover, we expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company.

112

We will continue to require additional capital to develop our product candidates and fund operations for the foreseeable future. We may seek to raise capital through private or public equity or debt financings, collaboration or other arrangements with corporate sources, or through other sources of financing. Adequate additional funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to pursue our business strategies. We anticipate that we will need to raise substantial additional capital, the requirements for which will depend on many factors, including:

•
the scope, timing, rate of progress and costs of our drug discovery, preclinical development activities, laboratory testing and clinical trials for our product candidates;

•
the number and scope of clinical programs we decide to pursue;

•
the scope and costs of manufacturing development and commercial manufacturing activities;

•
the extent to which we acquire or in-license other product candidates and technologies;

•
the cost, timing and outcome of regulatory review of our product candidates;

•
the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights and defending intellectual property-related claims;

•
our ability to establish and maintain collaborations on favorable terms, if at all;

•
our efforts to enhance operational systems and our ability to attract, hire and retain qualified personnel, including personnel to support the development of our product candidates;

•
the costs associated with being a public company; and

•
the cost and timing associated with commercializing our product candidates, if they receive marketing approval.

A change in the outcome of any of these or other variables with respect to the development of any of our product candidates could significantly change the costs and timing associated with the development of that product candidate. Furthermore, our operating plans may change in the future, and we will continue to require additional capital to meet operational needs and capital requirements associated with such operating plans. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience dilution. Any future debt financing into which we enter may impose upon us additional covenants that restrict our operations, including limitations on our ability to incur liens or additional debt, pay dividends, repurchase our common stock, make certain investments or engage in certain merger, consolidation or asset sale transactions. Any debt financing or additional equity that we raise may contain terms that are not favorable to us or our stockholders. If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed, we may be required to delay, reduce, or terminate some or all of our development programs and clinical trials. We may also be required to sell or license to others rights to our product candidates in certain territories or indications that we would prefer to develop and commercialize ourselves.

We lease our laboratory and office facilities in South San Francisco, California under operating leases with expiration dates in July 2024. In May 2018, we amended our South San Francisco facility lease agreement to expand the size of the original premises by adding approximately 7,340 rentable square feet of additional space. In September 2019, we further amended our South San Francisco facility lease agreement to expand the size of the premises by adding 5,588 rentable square feet of additional space. As of December 31, 2023, we expect to make the total lease payments of $1.6 million through July 2024.

In June 2023, we entered into a lease agreement for 43,966 square feet of space at 5000 Shoreline Court, South San Francisco, California. The lease term is expected to commence in June 2024 and the lease term is one hundred twenty months. In November 2023, we additionally entered into a lease for an office located in San Diego, California, where we occupy approximately 5,700 square feet of office space. The lease commenced in December 2023 and expires in March 2028.

We enter into contracts in the normal course of business with third-party contract organizations for preclinical and clinical studies and testing, manufacture and supply of our preclinical and clinical materials and providing 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.

Pursuant to the GSK Collaboration Agreement, we will be responsible for 20% of global research and development costs for the WRN program. The cost-sharing percentages will be adjusted based on the actual ratio of U.S. to global profits for WRN products, as measured three and six years after global commercial launch thereof. We may opt out of 50% U.S. net profit share and corresponding development cost share for the WRN program.

In September 2018, we entered into a license agreement with Novartis to develop and commercialize Novartis’ LXS196 (also known as IDE196), a Phase 1 PKC inhibitor, for the treatment of cancers having GNAQ and GNA11 mutations. We have renamed Novartis’ LXS196 oncology as IDE196, and which has a non-proprietary name of darovasertib. We paid Novartis

113

an upfront payment of $2.5 million and issued 263,615 shares of our Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock concurrently with the execution of the license agreement. Subject to completion of certain clinical and regulatory development milestones, we agreed to make milestone payments in the aggregate of up to $9.0 million, and subject to achievement of certain commercial sales milestones, we agreed to make milestone payments in the aggregate of up to $20.0 million. We also agreed to pay mid to high single-digit tiered royalty payments based on annual worldwide net sales of licensed products, payable on a licensed product-by-licensed product and country by country basis until the latest of the expiration of the last to expire exclusively licensed patent, the expiration of regulatory exclusivity, and the ten year anniversary of the first commercial sale of such product in such country. The royalty payments are subject to reductions for lack of patent coverage, loss of market exclusivity, and payment obligations for third-party licenses.

In March 2020, we entered into the Pfizer Agreement. Pursuant to the Pfizer Agreement, as amended in September 2020, April 2021, September 2021 and May 2023, Pfizer supplies us with their MEK inhibitor, binimetinib, and their cMET inhibitor, crizotinib, to evaluate combinations of darovasertib independently with each of the Pfizer compounds, in patients with tumors harboring activating GNAQ or GNA11 mutations. Under the Pfizer Agreement, we are the sponsor of the combination studies and will provide darovasertib and pay for the costs of the combination studies. Pfizer will provide binimetinib and crizotinib for use in the clinical trial at no cost to us. The Pfizer Agreement provides that we and Pfizer will jointly own clinical data generated from the clinical trial and will also jointly own inventions, if any, relating to the combined use of darovasertib and binimetinib, or independently, to the combined use of darovasertib and crizotinib. We and Pfizer have formed a joint development committee responsible for coordinating all regulatory and other activities under the agreement.

We have further expanded the scope of our relationship with Pfizer, entering into additional agreements to facilitate evaluation of darovasertib in combination with crizotinib in a potential registrational clinical trial in MUM and separately, in combination with crizotinib in other cMET-driven tumor indications.

In March 2022, we and Pfizer entered into the Second Pfizer Agreement pursuant to which we may, subject to FDA feedback and guidance, evaluate darovasertib and crizotinib as a combination therapy in MUM in a planned Phase 2/3 potential registration-enabling clinical trial. Pursuant to the Second Pfizer Agreement, we are the sponsor of the planned combination trial and we will provide darovasertib and pay for the costs of the combination trial; Pfizer will provide crizotinib for the planned combination trial at no cost to us for up to an agreed-upon number of MUM patients. We and Pfizer will jointly own clinical data from the planned combination trial and all inventions relating to the combined use of darovasertib and crizotinib. We and Pfizer have formed a joint development committee responsible for coordinating all regulatory and other activities under the Second Pfizer Agreement.

Separately, in March 2022, we and Pfizer also entered into the Third Pfizer Agreement pursuant to which we may, subject to preclinical validation and FDA feedback and guidance, evaluate darovasertib and crizotinib, as a combination therapy in cMET-driven tumors such as NSCLC and/or HCC in a Phase 1 clinical trial. Pursuant to the Third Pfizer Agreement, we are the sponsor of the planned combination trial, and we will provide darovasertib and pay for the costs of the combination trial; Pfizer will provide crizotinib for the planned combination trial at no cost to us. We and Pfizer will jointly own clinical data from the planned combination trial and all inventions relating to the combined use of darovasertib and crizotinib. We and Pfizer had formed a joint development committee responsible for coordinating all regulatory and other activities under the Third Pfizer Agreement.

In May 2023, we continued our relationship with Pfizer by entering into Amendment No. 4 to the Pfizer Agreement relating to the supply of crizotinib in support of this Phase 2 clinical trial, pursuant to which Pfizer will continue to provide us with an additional defined quantity of crizotinib at no cost.

We also expanded our relationship with Pfizer in May 2023 under an Amendment No. 1 to the Second Pfizer Agreement to support the Phase 2/3 registrational trial to evaluate darovasertib and crizotinib as a combination therapy in MUM. Under the as-amended Second Pfizer Agreement, Pfizer will provide us with a first defined quantity of crizotinib at no cost, as well as an additional second defined quantity of crizotinib at a lump-sum cost. Under Amendment No. 1 to the Second Pfizer Agreement, we also terminated the Third Pfizer Agreement.

In January 2022, we exercised our option for an exclusive worldwide license rights covering a broad class of PARG inhibitors from Cancer Research Technology Ltd. (CRT) and the University of Manchester, and in connection therewith, paid a one-time option exercise fee of £250,000. Certain of the clinical and regulatory milestones are related to and may be due and payable by us if certain milestones are achieved in connection with the IDE161-001 Phase 1/2 clinical trial. We will be obligated to make future milestone payments to CRT aggregating up to £18.75 million upon the achievement of specific development and regulatory approval events for development of a PARG inhibitor in oncologic diseases, including an aggregate of up to £1.5 million and up to £2.25 million for the achievement of certain Phase 2 and Phase 3 development milestones, respectively, in each case as relating to first (e.g., a breast cancer) and second (e.g., ovarian cancer) tumor histologies.

114

In April 2023, we incurred an obligation to pay milestone payments in an aggregate amount of £750,000 to CRT based upon the achievement of certain milestones relating to first and second tumor histologies in connection with the Phase 1 portion of the Phase 1/2 clinical trial in oncologic diseases.

Following our exercise of the option, if we sublicense certain intellectual property developed under the agreement or Cancer Research UK background patents specifically relating to PARG, we will also have an obligation to pay to Cancer Research UK low double digit percentage of sublicense revenue we receive, if any. If the agreement is terminated due to our material breach, then we are eligible to receive a percentage of sublicensing revenue that Cancer Research UK receives for licensing intellectual property.

In July 2022, we entered into the Amgen CTCSA to clinically evaluate IDE397 in combination with AMG 193 in patients having MTAP-null solid tumors, in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial. Under the mutually non-exclusive Amgen CTCSA, we will provide IDE397 drug supply to Amgen, who will be the sponsor of the Phase 1 clinical combination trial evaluating IDE397 and AMG 193. Each party will pay for fifty percent (50%) of the external third-party costs of the combination study. Each party will be responsible for its own internal costs and expenses in support of the combination study. We and Amgen will jointly oversee clinical development of the combination therapy through a Joint Oversight Committee responsible for coordinating all regulatory and other activities under the Amgen CTCSA. The parties will jointly own collaboration data and combination-related intellectual property, if any, arising from the combination clinical trial. We and Amgen each retain commercial rights to our respective compounds, including with respect to use as a monotherapy agent or combination agent.

In November 2023, we entered into the Gilead CSCSA with Gilead to clinically evaluate IDE397 in combination with Trodelvy (sacituzumab-govitecan-hziy), a Trop-2 directed ADC, in patients having MTAP-deletion bladder cancer, in a Phase 1 clinical trial. Under the mutually non-exclusive Gilead CSCSA, we will receive Trodelvy drug supply from Gilead and will sponsor the Phase 1 clinical combination trial evaluating ID397 and Trodelvy. Gilead will bear internal or external costs incurred in connection with its supply of Trodelvy. We will bear all internal and external costs and expenses associated with the conduct of the combination study. We and Gilead will jointly oversee clinical development of the combination therapy through a Joint Steering Committee responsible for coordinating all regulatory and other activities under the Gilead CSCSA. We and Gilead each retain commercial rights to our respective compounds, including with respect to use as a monotherapy agent or combination agent.

Adequate additional funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. See the section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K titled “Part I, Item 1A. – Risk Factors” for additional risks associated with our substantial capital requirements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $115.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Cash used in operating activities was primarily due to the use of funds in our operations to develop our product candidates resulting in a net loss of $113.0 million, adjusted for net non-cash charges of $10.9 million and changes in net operating assets and liabilities of $13.2

115

million. Our non-cash charges consisted of $18.5 million in stock-based compensation, and $2.5 million in depreciation and amortization of right of use asset of $1.5 million, partially offset by $11.6 million accretion of discounts on marketable securities. The net change in our operating assets and liabilities consisted primarily of decreases of $13.8 million in contract liabilities due to revenue recognized under the GSK Collaboration Agreement, $2.0 million in prepaid and other assets, and $1.9 million in lease liabilities, partially offset by $1.6 million accrued and other liabilities due to CRO fees in support of research and manufacturing activities, $2.6 million in accounts payable, and $0.2 million in accounts receivable from GSK for estimated program costs under the GSK Collaboration Agreement.

Net cash used in operating activities was $87.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Cash used in operating activities was primarily due to the use of funds in our operations to develop our product candidates resulting in a net loss of $58.7 million, adjusted for net non-cash charges of $14.4 million and changes in net operating assets and liabilities of $43.0 million. Our non-cash charges consisted of $11.6 million in stock-based compensation, and $2.1 million in depreciation, and $1.4 million of amortization of right of use asset, partially offset by $0.7 million accretion of discounts on marketable securities. The net change in our operating assets and liabilities consisted primarily of decreases of $46.5 million in contract liabilities due to revenue recognized under the GSK Collaboration Agreement, $2.1 million in prepaid and other assets, and $1.7 million in lease liabilities, partially offset by $4.6 million accrued and other liabilities due to CRO fees in support of research and manufacturing activities, $1.9 million in accounts payable, and $0.9 million in accounts receivable from GSK for estimated program costs under the GSK Collaboration Agreement.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $97.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, which consisted primarily of $86.1 million of net proceeds from our follow-on offering, $8.8 million of proceeds from ATM offering, $1.4 million of proceeds from exercise of common stock options, and $0.8 million of proceeds from ESPP purchase.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported revenue recognized and 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates. For more detail on our critical accounting policies, refer to Note 2 to the financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

116

Revenue Recognition

Licenses of intellectual property: If a license to our intellectual property is determined to be distinct from the other promised goods or services identified in an arrangement, we recognize revenue from non-refundable, upfront fees allocated to the license at the point in time when the license is transferred to the customer and the customer is able to use and benefit from the license. For licenses that are bundled with other goods or services, we utilize judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress toward satisfying the performance obligation for purposes of recognizing revenue from non-refundable, upfront fees. We evaluate the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjust the measure of progress and related revenue recognition.

Customer options for additional goods or services: If a contract contains customer options that allow the customer to acquire additional goods or services, including a license to our intellectual property, the goods and services underlying the customer options are evaluated to determine whether they are deemed to represent a material right. In determining whether the customer option has a material right, we assess whether there is an option to acquire additional goods or services at a discount. If the customer option is determined not to represent a material right, the option is not considered to be a performance obligation. If the customer option is determined to represent a material right, the material right is recognized as a separate performance obligation. We allocate the transaction price to material rights based on the relative standalone selling price, which is determined based on the identified discount and the probability that the customer will exercise the option. Amounts allocated to a material right are not recognized as revenue until the option is exercised.

Milestone payments: At the inception of each arrangement or amendment that includes development, regulatory or commercial milestone payments, we evaluate whether the milestones are considered probable of being reached and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price. ASC 606 prescribes two methods to use when estimating the amount of variable consideration: the expected value method and the most likely amount method. Under the expected value method, an entity considers the sum of probability-weighted amounts in a range of possible consideration amounts. Under the most likely amount method, an entity considers the single most likely amount in a range of possible consideration amounts. Whichever method is used, it should be consistently applied throughout the life of the contract; however, it is not necessary for us to use the same approach for all contracts. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur when the uncertainty associated with the milestone is resolved, the associated milestone value is included in the transaction price. Milestone payments that are highly susceptible to factors outside our influence, such as regulatory approvals, are not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received. If there is more than one performance obligation, the transaction price is then allocated to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. We recognize revenue as or when the performance obligations under the contract are satisfied. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, we re-evaluate the probability or achievement of each milestone and any related constraint, and if necessary, adjust our estimates of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which would affect revenues and earnings in the period of adjustment.

Royalties: For arrangements that include sales-based royalties, including milestone payments based on the level of sales, and the license deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate, we recognize revenue at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied).

Upfront payments and fees are recorded as contract liabilities upon receipt or when due and may require deferral of revenue recognition to a future period until we perform our obligations under these arrangements. Amounts payable to us are recorded as accounts receivable when our right to consideration is unconditional. We do not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if the expectation at contract inception is such that the period between payment by the customer and the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer will be one year or less.

Contractual cost sharing payments received from a customer or collaboration partner are accounted for as variable consideration. We include an expected value in the transaction price. Contractual cost sharing payments made to a customer or collaboration partner are accounted for as a reduction to the transaction price if such payments are not related to distinct goods or services received from the customer or collaboration partner.

Contracts may be amended to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. Contract modifications exist when the amendment either creates new, or changes existing, enforceable rights and obligations. When contract modifications create new performance obligations and the increase in consideration approximates the standalone selling price for goods and services related to such new performance obligations as adjusted for specific facts and circumstances of the contract, the modification is accounted for as a separate contract. If a contract modification is not accounted for as a separate contract, we account for the promised goods or services not yet transferred at the date of the contract modification (the

117

remaining promised goods or services) prospectively, as if it were a termination of the existing contract and the creation of a new contract, if the remaining goods or services are distinct from the goods or services transferred on or before the date of the contract modification. We account for a contract modification as if it were a part of the existing contract if the remaining goods or services are not distinct and, therefore, form part of a single performance obligation that is partially satisfied at the date of the contract modification. In such case the effect that the contract modification has on the transaction price, and on the entity’s measure of progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation, is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) at the date of the contract modification (the adjustment to revenue is made on a cumulative catch-up basis).

Upfront payment contract liabilities resulting from our license and collaboration agreements do not represent a financing component as the payment is not financing the transfer of goods and services, and the technology underlying the licenses granted reflects research and development expenses already incurred by us. As such, we do not adjust our revenues for the effects of a significant financing component.

Determination of the estimate of standalone selling price (SSP)

Prior to entering into the GSK Collaboration Agreement, we have never entered into a similar collaboration agreement nor have ever recognized any revenue, and the SSP of performance obligations identified in the GSK Collaboration Agreement is not directly observable. Accordingly, we developed an estimate of the SSP of each performance obligation based on the information known to us on the Effective Date and on input from an independent third-party valuation firm.

We applied the income approach as a primary methodology to determine the SSP of each performance obligation. Specifically, based on our early stage of development and other relevant factors, we determined to use the following methodologies:

(1)
Preclinical and Phase 1 Monotherapy clinical research and development services under the MAT2A program (MAT2A R&D Services) – the expected costs of satisfying the performance obligation, adjusted for probabilities of technical success where appropriate;

(2)
Preclinical research services and the related license to IDEAYA-owned technology under the Pol Theta program (Pol Theta R&D Services) – a combination of risk-adjusted net present value analysis and the expected costs of satisfying the performance obligation, adjusted for probabilities of technical success where appropriate;

(3)
Preclinical research services and the related license to IDEAYA-owned technology under the WRN program (WRN R&D Services) – a combination of risk-adjusted net present value analysis and the expected costs of satisfying the performance obligation, adjusted for probabilities of technical success where appropriate;

(4)
The Option – risk-adjusted net present value analysis;

(5)
Material right associated with the option to license to IDEAYA-owned technology under the MAT2A program to the extent necessary for preclinical activities in preparation for the MAT2A Combination Trial (Preclinical MAT2A License) – the expected costs of satisfying the performance obligation; and,

(6)
Material right associated with the supply of MAT2A product for the MAT2A Combination Trial (MAT2A Supply) – the expected costs of satisfying the performance obligation.

The assumptions used to determine the SSP of each performance obligation are based on numerous objective and subjective factors, combined with management judgment, including:

•
projected preclinical and clinical research and development expenses;

•
the probability of technical success for the development, regulatory approval and commercialization of our product candidates;

•
projected cash flow during development and commercialization periods;

•
discount rates based on cost of capital;

•
the probability of exercise of the Option; and,

•
the projected manufacturing cost and overhead expense for IDE 397.

We considered reasonably available data points, market conditions and entity-specific factors in estimating the SSP of performance obligations. However, some of these assumptions are specific to us and are not directly observable. We also applied our own judgment as management in determining these assumptions. Accordingly, these assumptions are subject to

118

uncertainty, and changing methodology and/or assumption could materially impact the estimate of the SSP of performance obligations, and as a result, an amount of subsequent revenue recognition and/or its timing.

Determination of the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations

We recognize revenue from the MAT2A R&D Services, Pol Theta R&D Services and WRN R&D Services over time, as GSK simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by our performance as we perform. We measure our progress toward complete satisfaction of the MAT2A R&D Services, Pol Theta R&D Services and WRN R&D Services based on the costs incurred as a percentage of the estimated total costs to be incurred to complete the performance obligations.

The estimated total costs to be incurred to complete the MAT2A R&D Services, Pol Theta R&D Services and WRN R&D Services may evolve and be updated throughout the performance period with the consultation with GSK through the joint development committee. The change in the estimated total costs and/or the timing of completion may materially impact an amount of subsequent revenue recognition and/or its timing. MAT2A R&D Services and Pol Theta R&D Services are completed. The expected timing of completing the WRN R&D Services may be updated.

JOBS Act Accounting Election

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act, permits an “emerging growth company” which we were until December 31, 2023 to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. As of June 30, 2023, the aggregate market value of the voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates was $1.3 billion, and we are deemed a large accelerated filer as of January 1, 2024, commencing with this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2023. As a result, we are ceased to be an emerging growth company as of December 31, 2023.
