Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting.
Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements | Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 and reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024 or for any other future annual or interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date and, due to its summary nature, does not include all the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP in audited financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on March 1, 2024.
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For the Company and its subsidiary in Israel, the functional currency has been determined to be the U.S. Dollar.
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions made in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include but are not limited to accruals for uncertain tax positions, accrued research and development expenses and the valuation of stock options. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and adjusts those estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels are directly related to the amount of subjectivity with the inputs to the valuation of these assets or liabilities as follows: Level 1—Observable inputs such as unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date; Level 2—Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable inputs for similar assets or liabilities. These include quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, cash equivalents and marketable securities were the only financial instruments measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value The Company’s financial instruments, including cash, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at cost which approximates their fair value because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The fair value of the Company’s term loan approximates its carrying value, or amortized cost, due to the prevailing market rates of interest it bears.
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less from the purchase date to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents primarily consist of amounts invested in money market funds, commercial paper and U.S. government Treasury securities and are carried at fair value.
Marketable Securities | Marketable Securities The Company invests its excess cash in marketable securities with high credit ratings including money market funds, commercial paper, securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies and corporate debt securities. The Company accounts for all marketable securities as available-for-sale, as the sale of such securities may be required prior to maturity. These marketable securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until realized. The cost of debt securities is adjusted for accretion of premiums and amortization of discounts to maturity. Such amortization and accretion, as well as interest and dividends, are included in interest income and other, net. Realized gains and losses from the sale of marketable securities, if any, are determined on a specific identification basis and are also included in interest income and other, net. The Company’s marketable securities are classified as current assets, which reflects management’s intention to use the proceeds from sales of these securities to fund its operations, as necessary, even though the stated maturity date may be one year or more beyond the current balance sheet date. The Company periodically assesses its marketable securities for impairment. For marketable securities in an unrealized loss position, this assessment first takes into account the Company’s intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of these criteria are met, the marketable security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through interest income and other, net. For marketable securities in an unrealized loss position that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Company assesses whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, the Company considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and any adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss may exist, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses will be recorded in interest income and other, net, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any additional impairment not recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive loss. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. These changes are recorded in interest income and other, net.
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions using a more-likely-than-not threshold for recognizing and resolving uncertain tax positions. This evaluation is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, effectively settled issues under audit, and new audit activity. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are included within income tax expense. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded income tax expense related to its foreign operations in Israel of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share | Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share Basic and diluted net loss per share is calculated based upon the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Shares of common stock that are potentially issuable for little or no cash consideration at issuance, such as the Company’s pre-funded warrants issued in July 2022 and December 2023, are included in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share, even if they are antidilutive. During periods of income, participating securities are allocated a proportional share of income determined by dividing total weighted-average participating securities by the sum of the total weighted-average common shares and participating securities (the “two-class method”). Shares of the Company’s common stock warrants participate in any dividends that may be declared by the Company and are therefore considered to be participating securities. Participating securities have the effect of diluting both basic and diluted earnings per share during periods of income. During periods of loss, no loss is allocated to participating securities since they have no contractual obligation to share in the losses of the Company. Diluted loss per share is computed after giving consideration to the dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance stock units (“PSUs”) and common stock warrants, except where such non-participating securities would be anti-dilutive. As the Company incurred net losses for the periods presented, basic net loss per share is the same as diluted net loss per share since the effects of potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive.
Recent Adopted And Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Adopted Accounting Standards The Company did not adopt any new standards or updates issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) during the six months ended June 30, 2024 that had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant expenses. ASU 2023-07 requires disclosures to include significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), a description of other segment items by reportable segment, and any additional measures of a segment’s profit or loss used by the CODM when deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU also requires all annual disclosures required by Topic 280 to be included in interim periods. All disclosure requirements under this ASU are also required for public entities with a single reportable segment. The ASU is effective for the Company’s annual periods beginning on January 1, 2024 and interim periods beginning on January 1, 2025. Early adoption is permitted and requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2023-07 in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2024 and in the interim periods thereafter. The Company is in the process of evaluating the requirements of this update, which is expected to result in expanded disclosures within the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires companies to disclose, on an annual basis, specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. In addition, ASU 2023-09 requires companies to disclose additional information about income taxes paid. The ASU is effective for the Company’s annual periods beginning on January 1, 2025 and will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2023-09 in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2025 and in annual periods thereafter. The Company is in the process of evaluating the requirements of this update, which is expected to result in expanded disclosures within the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
