DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Description of Business Precision BioSciences, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on January 26, 2006 under the laws of the State of Delaware and is based in Durham, North Carolina. The Company is a gene editing company dedicated to improving life by developing in vivo therapies for genetic and infectious diseases with the application of the Company’s wholly-owned proprietary ARCUS genome editing platform. Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to research and development activities, recruiting skilled personnel, establishing its intellectual property portfolio and providing general and administrative support for these operations. The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to those of other companies conducting early-stage research and development of product candidates. Principal among these risks are the Company’s dependence on key individuals and intellectual property, competition from other products and companies, and the technical risks associated with the successful research, development and clinical manufacturing of its product candidates. The Company’s success is dependent upon its ability to continue to raise additional capital in order to fund ongoing research and development, obtain regulatory approval of its products, successfully commercialize its products, generate revenue, meet its obligations, and, ultimately, attain profitable operations. Unaudited Interim Financial Information The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements and notes have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 26, 2025. The unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s condensed financial position as of June 30, 2025 and its condensed results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, have been made. The Company’s condensed results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. Discontinued Operations In August 2023, the Company announced its strategic decision to operate as a single platform company focused exclusively on developing in vivo gene editing therapies with the completion of the sale of its chimeric antigen receptor (“CAR”) T infrastructure to Imugene Limited, an Australian corporation (“Imugene Limited”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary Imugene (USA) Inc. (“Imugene US”), a Nevada corporation (collectively, “Imugene”). Additionally, the Company licensed its lead allogeneic CAR T candidate for cancer, azercabtagene zapreleucel (“azer-cel”), to Imugene. Accordingly, the accompanying condensed financial statements have been recast for all periods presented to reflect the assets, liabilities and expenses related to the Company’s CAR T programs as discontinued operations (see Note 8, Discontinued Operations). The accompanying condensed financial statements are generally presented in conformity with the Company’s historical format. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The Company’s complete listing of significant accounting policies is set forth in Note 1, Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the Notes to Condensed Financial Statements on its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no changes to these policies as of June 30, 2025. Accounting Standards Updates Recently Issued Accounting Standards In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes. Upon adoption, companies will be required to disclose additional specified categories in the rate reconciliation. Companies will also be required to disclose the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction, among other disclosure requirements. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. We plan to adopt the standard in our 2025 annual period and are currently assessing its effect on our financial statement disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, to improve disclosures around an entity’s expenses. Upon adoption, companies will be required to disclose in the notes to the financial statements a disaggregation of certain expense categories included within the expense captions on the face of the income statement. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. We plan to adopt the standard in our 2027 annual period and are currently assessing its effect on our financial statement disclosures.
