Description of Business

Neumora Therapeutics, Inc. (the Company), was originally incorporated in the State of Delaware in November 2019, and is headquartered in Watertown, Massachusetts.

The Company is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company founded to confront the global brain disease crisis by taking a fundamentally different approach to the way treatments for brain diseases are developed. The Company’s therapeutic pipeline currently consists of seven neuroscience programs that target novel mechanisms of action for a broad range of underserved neuropsychiatric disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. The Company’s most advanced product candidate, navacaprant (NMRA-140), is a novel once-daily oral kappa opioid receptor (KOR) antagonist that is being developed for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD), which the Company believes has the potential to provide significant advantages relative to the standard of care, if approved. Navacaprant is being investigated in the KOASTAL pivotal Phase 3 program, evaluating navacaprant monotherapy in patients with moderate to severe MDD. The Company’s next most advanced product candidate is NMRA-511, a highly selective, novel antagonist of the vasopressin 1a receptor (V1aR) being developed for the treatment of agitation associated with dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The Company is advancing a Phase 1b signal-seeking study investigating NMRA-511 initially in healthy elderly adult participants and then people with agitation associated with dementia due to AD. The Company’s M4 positive allosteric modular (PAM) franchise comprises multiple novel compounds that each have different chemical composition and what the Company believes are optimal pharmacological properties, which have demonstrated robust activity in preclinical efficacy models and high selectivity for the M4 receptor subtype.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company has devoted a significant portion of its financial resources and efforts to building its organization, acquiring technologies and companies, executing clinical and preclinical studies, conducting research and development, identifying and developing potential product candidates, building its precision neuroscience tools, organizing and staffing the Company, business planning, establishing, maintaining and protecting its intellectual property portfolio, raising capital and providing general and administrative support for these operations. The Company has not generated revenue from the sale of products.

Liquidity

The Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and as of March 31, 2025, had an accumulated deficit of $1,015.2 million. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $249.4 million, which are available to fund future operations. The Company believes that its existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of March 31, 2025 will be sufficient to support operations for at least the next 12 months from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

The Company expects to incur additional losses in the future as it continues its research and development efforts, advances its product candidates through preclinical and clinical development, enhances its precision neuroscience approach and programs, expands its product pipeline, potentially seeks regulatory approval, prepares for potential commercialization, as well as hires additional personnel, protects its intellectual property and potentially grows its business. The Company will need to raise additional capital to support its continuing operations and pursue its long-term business plan, including to complete the development and commercialization of its product candidates, if approved. Such activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including clinical failure which can impact the Company’s ability to secure additional funding. The Company expects to finance its cash needs through a combination of public or private equity offerings or debt financings or other capital sources, which may include strategic collaborations or other arrangements with third parties, or other sources of financing. However, there is no guarantee that any of these financing or opportunities will be executed or realized on favorable terms, if at all, and some could be dilutive to existing stockholders.
