Management Overview

Intellia Therapeutics, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “Intellia,” or the “Company”) is a leading biopharmaceutical company, focused on revolutionizing medicine leveraging CRISPR gene editing and other core technologies. Our mission is to transform the lives of people with severe diseases by developing and commercializing potentially curative treatments. With deep scientific, technical and clinical development experience, we aim to reset the standard for medicine by durably treating the root causes of disease.

For over a decade, we have applied our proprietary technologies and expertise, including CRISPR-based gene editing technologies, oligonucleotides, and lipid nanoparticles (“LNPs”), to develop novel, first-in-class product candidates. This includes the development of lonvoguran ziclumeran (“lonvo-z,” previously referred to as NTLA-2002) for the treatment of hereditary angioedema (“HAE”) and nexiguran ziclumeran (“nex-z,” previously referred to as NTLA-2001) for the treatment of transthyretin (“ATTR”) amyloidosis. These lead product candidates are the first in vivo genome editing product candidates to advance into Phase 3 clinical development. These systemically administered CRISPR-based candidates are designed to address diseases with high unmet need with a single intravenous (“IV”) infusion that is administered in an outpatient setting. In April 2026, we reported positive topline data from the global Phase 3 HAELO clinical trial of lonvo-z in HAE, and preparations are underway for the planned commercial launch of lonvo-z in the first half of 2027, if approved.

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which have been prepared by us in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim periods and with Regulation S-X, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”) for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Our strategy is to (1) advance the clinical development of our lead CRISPR-based product candidates, (2) build and leverage a fully integrated commercial-stage infrastructure, (3) expand our pipeline utilizing our expertise and proprietary technologies, and (4) collaborate with partners to expand our technology reach and maximize our return on investment. All of our revenue to date has been collaboration revenue. Since our inception and through June 30, 2026, we have funded our operations through our initial public offering (“IPO”), private placements, follow-on public offerings, at-the-market offerings, the sale of convertible preferred stock and through our collaboration agreements.

Our Pipeline

We are the first company to advance in vivo genome editing product candidates into Phase 3 clinical development. These candidates are being developed for patients with HAE and ATTR amyloidosis. Our research efforts focus on pursuing additional targets within the liver and expanding our targets and delivery technology for diseases outside the liver.

Hereditary Angioedema (“HAE”) Program

Lonvo-z is a wholly owned, investigational in vivo CRISPR-based therapeutic candidate designed to inactivate the kallikrein B1 (“KLKB1”) gene in the liver, drive consistent, deep and potentially lifelong reduction in kallikrein levels, and dramatically reduce or eliminate HAE attacks via a one-time treatment. It also aims to eliminate the significant burdens associated with currently available HAE therapies.

Lonvo-z Clinical Program

HAELO is our Phase 3 clinical study of lonvo-z for the treatment of HAE. HAELO is a global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lonvo-z planned for 60 adults with Type I or Type II HAE. Patients were randomized 2:1 to receive a single 50 mg infusion of lonvo-z or placebo. Patients randomized to the placebo arm are eligible for optional crossover to lonvo-z at week 28. The primary endpoint is the number of HAE attacks from week 5 through week 28. In January 2025, we announced that the first patient had been dosed in the global Phase 3 study. In September 2025, we announced that enrollment was completed. In total, 80 patients were enrolled in the trial and received a one-time 50 mg dose of lonvo-z or placebo.

In April 2026, we announced positive topline results from the global Phase 3 HAELO clinical trial. In June 2026, we reported additional data in a late-breaking oral session at the European Academy of Allergy & Clinical Immunology Annual Congress 2026 and in a manuscript published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The trial met its primary endpoint. For the six-month efficacy evaluation period (weeks 5 to 28), a one-time infusion of lonvo-z reduced attacks by 87% versus placebo, with a mean monthly attack rate of 0.26 in the lonvo-z arm compared with 2.10 in the placebo arm (p0.0001). The trial met all of its key secondary endpoints with statistical significance (p0.0001). These included: 62% of patients were entirely attack free and therapy free in the lonvo-z arm for the six-month efficacy evaluation period, compared with 11% of patients in the placebo arm; the mean monthly rate of attacks requiring on-demand treatment was 0.19 in the l

Results of Operations

The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the related footnotes thereto.

Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

The following table summarizes our results of operations:

Collaboration Revenue

Collaboration revenue increased by $9.8 million to $67.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $57.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in collaboration revenue during the year ended December 31, 2025 is due to a $23.7 million increase, primarily in cost reimbursements related to our collaboration with Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Regeneron”) and $9.0 million in revenue that was recognized as a result of the termination of our License, Collaboration and Option Agreement with SparingVision SAS (the “SparingVision LCA”), offset in part by the recognition of $21.0 million of previously eliminated intra-entity profit under our License and Collaboration Agreement with AvenCell Therapeutics, Inc. (the “AvenCell LCA”) in the year ended December 31, 2024. Refer to Notes 9 and 10 to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further details.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses decreased by $77.5 million to $388.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $466.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2024.

The following table summarizes our research and development expenses, together with the changes in those items in dollars and the respective percentages of change:

81

The decrease in research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to:

•
a $20.7 million increase in external costs related to the development of nexiguran ziclumeran (“nex-z”, also referred to as NTLA-2001), one of our lead product candidates, primarily due to an increase in spend on contracted services and drug components;

•
a $5.6 million increase in external costs related to the development of lonvoguran ziclumeran (“lonvo-z”, also referred to as NTLA-2002), one of our lead product candidates, primarily due to an increase in spend on drug components and contracted services;

•
a $28.7 million decrease in employee-related expenses, primarily driven by a workforce reduction in January 2025;

•
a $35.0 million decrease in research materials and contracted services primarily driven by internal research and development expenses, contracted services and drug components.

•
a $5.0 million increase in facility-related expenses primarily related to rent expense; and

•
a $44.8 million decrease in stock-based compensation caused primarily by our reduced workforce and lower grant date fair values of share-based awards granted in the current period.

Prior year external development expenses related to NTLA-3001 have been reclassified to “Research materials and contracted services” in the table above to conform with the current year’s presentation.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses decreased by $6.0 million to $119.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $125.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2024. This decrease was primarily related to a decrease in stock-based compensation offset in part by increased expenses related to the ongoing buildout of our commercial infrastructure and reductions to right-of-use assets for accelerated amortization and impairment.

Other Income, Net

The increase in other income, net of $13.1 million is primarily related to a $31.7 million change in unrealized losses of our investments in equity securities in the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the prior year, which included an unrealized loss of $27.0 million as a result of a reduction in the carrying value of our investment in AvenCell. The increase was offset in part by an $18.6 million decrease in interest income due to lower average cash and marketable securities balances in the current year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our inception through December 31, 2025, we have funded our operations through our initial public offering and concurrent private placements, follow-on public offerings, our collaboration agreements, at-the-market offerings and the sale of convertible preferred stock.

As of December 31, 2025, we had $605.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.

At-the-Market Offering Programs

2022 Sale Agreement

In 2022, we entered into an Open Market Sale Agreement (the “2022 Sale Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”), under which Jefferies is able to offer and sell, from time to time in “at-the-market” offerings, shares of our common stock having aggregate gross proceeds of up to $400.0 million.
