Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation

Basis of presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding interim financial reporting and, in the opinion of management, include all normal and recurring adjustments which are necessary to state fairly the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the reported periods. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on February 26, 2025 (the 2024 Form 10-K). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All

intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The functional and reporting currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar.
Use of Estimates

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and related purchase price allocation, revenue recognition, clinical accruals, valuation of in-process research and development and developed technologies, income taxes, useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, impairment of goodwill and intangibles, impairment of in-process research and development and developed technologies, the incremental borrowing rate for determining operating lease assets and liabilities, warrant liabilities and stock-based compensation. Estimates are based on historical experience, complex judgments, facts and circumstances available at the time and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances but are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Actual results could materially differ from the Company’s estimates, and there may be changes to the estimates in future periods.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties

Concentration of credit risk and other risks and uncertainties

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. The Company maintains bank deposits in federally insured financial institutions and these deposits may exceed federally insured limits. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of a default by the financial institutions holding its bank deposits and issuers of its investments. The Company’s investment policy limits investments to money market funds, certain types of debt securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies, certificates of deposit, corporate debt and commercial paper, and places restrictions on the credit ratings, maturities and concentration by type and issuer. The Company has not experienced any significant losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents or investments.

Warrants

Warrants

Warrants assumed as part of the EQRx transaction, as described in “Note 3. Acquisition” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” contained in Part II, Item 8 of the 2024 Form 10-K, contain provisions that require them to be classified as derivative liabilities in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815). Accordingly, at the end of each reporting period, changes in fair value during the period are recognized as a change in fair value of warrant liabilities within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company adjusts the warrant liabilities for changes in the fair value until the earlier of (a) the exercise or expiration of the warrants or (b) the redemption of the warrants, at which time the warrants will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

Derivative warrant liabilities are classified as noncurrent liabilities, as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

Segment Reporting

Segment reporting

The Company determines its operating segments based on how the chief operating decision maker (CODM) views and analyzes the segment’s operations and performance and allocates resources. The President and Chief Executive Officer is the CODM. The CODM utilizes net loss as the measure of segment profit or loss. The Company has one operating and reportable segment. The Company’s CODM manages the Company’s operations on a consolidated basis for the purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The CODM assesses performance for and decides how to allocate resources based on the company’s cash and investment balance, periodic changes in cash and investments, and net loss, all of which are reported on the company’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and/or statements of cash flows. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total consolidated assets. All of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in the United States.

In addition to the significant expense categories included within consolidated net loss presented on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations, see below for disaggregated amounts that comprise research and development expenses:
