Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including X4 Pharmaceuticals (Austria) GmbH, which is incorporated in Vienna, Austria, and X4 Therapeutics, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the accrual of research and development expenses, the accrual of operational and financial license milestones, the accrual of reserves for variable consideration related to product revenue, and the impairment or lack of impairment of long-lived assets including operating lease right-of-use assets and goodwill. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the
circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates when there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require the Company to update its estimates, assumptions and judgments or revise the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and any such differences may be material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Marketable Securities The Company’s cash equivalents consisted of money market funds invested in U.S. Treasury securities. The money market funds were valued based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets, which represents a Level 1 measurement. All marketable securities are classified as short-term investments as all are due within one year and include investments in U.S. Treasury notes, U.S. Treasury bills and federal government agency notes. The amortized cost of each investment, individually and in aggregate, approximated fair value. The Company has evaluated each marketable security for impairment that is other-than-temporary and concluded that no marketable security was impaired as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Valuation of Embedded Derivative Liability Valuation of Embedded Derivative Liability The fair value of the embedded derivative liability recognized in connection with the Company’s Hercules Loan Agreement, which is associated with additional fees due to Hercules upon non-credit related events of default, was determined based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of this embedded derivative liability, which is reported within other non-current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, is estimated by the Company at each reporting date based, in part, on the results of third-party valuations, which were prepared based on a discounted cash flow model that considered the timing and probability of occurrence of a redemption upon an event of default, the potential amount of prepayment fees or contingent interest upon an event of default and the Company’s risk-adjusted discount rate of 17%.
Net (Loss) Income Per Share
Net (Loss) Income Per Share
Basic net (loss) income per common share is calculated based on net (loss) income divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. The calculation of diluted loss per common share excludes the impact of potential common stock as their inclusion would be to reduce net loss per common share and are thus antidilutive. The calculation of diluted income per share includes the impact of dilutive securities as described below.
Recently Announced Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (Topic 220) (“ASU 2024-03”) requiring that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The requirements in ASU 2024-03 may be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the future adoption of ASU 2024-03 to its consolidated financial statements.
