Nature of the business and basis of presentation Nature of the business and basis of presentation
Rapid Micro Biosystems, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on December 29, 2006. The Company develops, manufactures, markets and sells Growth Direct systems (“Systems”), proprietary consumables, laboratory information management system (“LIMS”) connection and other software, and services to address rapid microbial analysis used for quality control in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, medical devices and personal care products. The Company’s technology uses a highly sensitive camera and the natural auto fluorescence of living cells to identify and quantify microbial growth faster and more accurately than the traditional method, which relies on the human eye. The Company currently sells to customers in North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. The Company is headquartered in Lexington, Massachusetts.
Basis of presentation
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries in Germany and Switzerland. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2026 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes related to the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 are also unaudited. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026, any other interim periods, or any future year or period.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements.
Liquidity
The Company has incurred recurring losses and net cash outflows from operations since its inception. The Company expects to continue to generate operating losses in the near to medium term. To date, the Company has funded operations primarily through proceeds from sales of redeemable convertible preferred stock, borrowings under loan agreements, revenue from sales of our products and services, proceeds from the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”), proceeds from registered offerings, and proceeds from the Company’s at-the-market facility.
On August 8, 2025, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (“LSA”) with Trinity Capital Inc. and the other lenders party thereto and Trinity Capital Inc., as administrative agent and collateral agent, with an aggregate principal amount of $45.0 million, with $20.0 million drawn on the first tranche and up to an additional $20.0 million in the aggregate, across two equal tranches, available if certain commercial and operational milestones are met, and up to an additional $5.0 million at the lenders’ sole discretion.

On May 20, 2026, as described in Note 10 - Common stock and common stock warrants, the Company sold shares of Class A common stock pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, resulting in proceeds of $8.8 million, net of underwriting discounts and estimated third-party fees. Concurrent with the Underwriting Agreement, the Company also sold shares of
Class A common stock pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain of the Company’s directors and officers, resulting in proceeds of $0.1 million.

The Company expects that its existing cash, cash equivalents and investments and additional borrowing capacity expected to become available under the LSA that is subject to the satisfaction of certain commercial and operational milestones and other conditions will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least 12 months following the date these consolidated financial statements were issued. Access to the first additional tranche under the LSA is expected in January 2027 after initial satisfaction of certain revenue and gross margin metrics in the six months ending December 31, 2026.

If the Company’s expectations and underlying assumptions of business performance, including revenue growth, gross margin improvement, and control of operating costs, are not realized, the Company may need to reduce spending or raise additional funding which could be through equity offerings, additional debt financings or a combination thereof. If the Company is unable to raise capital as, if and when, needed, or cannot draw down the first additional tranche of the LSA, the Company may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue its expansion plans including further development and commercialization efforts of one or more of its products.
