Organization and Nature of the Business

Organization and Business

Alumis Inc. (the “Company”) is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on identifying, acquiring, and accelerating the development and commercialization of transformative medicines for autoimmune disorders. The Company leverages its proprietary precision data analytics platform, biological insights, and a team of experts with deep experience in precision medicine drug discovery, development, and immunology, in its mission to create medicines that significantly improve the lives of patients by replacing broad immunosuppression with targeted therapies.

The Company was founded on January 29, 2021, as a Delaware corporation under the name FL2021-001, Inc. FL2021-001, Inc.’s name was changed to Esker Therapeutics, Inc. on March 8, 2021, and to Alumis Inc. on January 6, 2022. The Company is headquartered in South San Francisco, California. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had one wholly owned subsidiary, ACELYRIN, Inc. (“ACELYRIN”), a Delaware corporation incorporated on July 27, 2020 and its wholly owned subsidiary, WH2, LLC. Arrow Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary incorporated in January 2025, was merged with and into ACELYRIN in May 2025.

Initial Public Offering and Concurrent Private Placement

On July 1, 2024, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”), pursuant to which it issued and sold 13,125,000 shares of its common stock at $16.00 price per share to the public. Net proceeds from the IPO were $193.3 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering costs totaling $16.7 million. On July 17, 2024, an existing investor and a holder of more than 5% of the Company’s capital stock, purchased an additional 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at the IPO price per share for total gross and net proceeds of $40.0 million in a private placement transaction (the “Concurrent Private Placement”).

Immediately prior to the closing of the IPO on July 1, 2024, all of the shares of the Company’s redeemable convertible preferred stock then outstanding converted into 28,855,656 shares of Class A common stock and 7,184,908 shares of Class B common stock at a 1-for-4.675 conversion ratio (the “Preferred Stock Conversion”). All outstanding Class A common stock shares and all outstanding Class B common stock shares were redesignated immediately thereafter into the same number of shares of voting common stock and non-voting common stock, respectively. Unless the context otherwise requires a different meaning, all references to “common stock” in these notes refers to the Company’s voting common stock and non-voting common stock combined.

ACELYRIN Merger

On February 6, 2025, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, and, on April 20, 2025, the Company entered into an Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger (collectively the “Merger Agreement”) with ACELYRIN and Merger Sub, a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into ACELYRIN, with ACELYRIN continuing as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “ACELYRIN Merger”). The Merger Agreement was approved by the disinterested directors on the Company’s board of directors and the board of directors of ACELYRIN and was approved by the stockholders of each company on May 13, 2025. On May 21, 2025, the Company completed the ACELYRIN Merger with ACELYRIN in a common stock transaction valued at approximately $238.1 million settled through the issuance of

48,653,549 shares of the Company’s common stock to acquire net assets with a fair value of $426.0 million. See Note 3 for additional information.

Liquidity

The Company has incurred negative operating cash flows and significant losses from operations since its inception. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred net loss of $110.8 million, $93.1 million, $150.4 million and $199.5 million, respectively. Cash used in operating activities was $297.6 million and $180.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $808.9 million.

The Company has historically funded its operations primarily through issuance of common stock, including in its IPO and Concurrent Private Placement, the issuance of redeemable convertible preferred stock and convertible promissory notes in private placements and, most recently, the acquisition of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities in connection with the ACELYRIN Merger and payments received under its collaboration and license agreement with Kaken Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. The Company expects to continue to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future, and its ability to achieve and sustain profitability will depend on the successful development, approval, and commercialization of any product candidates it may develop, and on the achievement of sufficient revenue to support its cost structure. The Company may never achieve profitability and, unless and until it does, it will need to continue to raise additional capital. The Company believes that, based on its current operating plan, its existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $377.7 million as of September 30, 2025, will be sufficient to meet its operating and capital requirements for at least 12 months from the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company will need to raise significant additional capital to fund ongoing research and development activities and maintain future operations. The Company’s management continuously monitors and, where necessary, may reduce its operating expenses in response to its clinical development progress and its ability and need to raise additional capital through a combination of public and private equity, debt financings, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. For example, should any of the Company’s ongoing trials not meet its clinical development objectives, the Company may scale back or discontinue related activities and reallocate its working capital to extend its ability to meet its operating and capital requirements. The Company’s ability to access capital when needed is not assured and, if capital is not available to the Company when, and in the amounts, needed, on the terms which are favorable, the Company could be required to delay, scale back, or abandon some or all of its planned development programs and other operations, which could materially harm the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
