10. Leases

In February 2026, we entered into a cancellable operating sublease for additional office space in Durham, North Carolina that consists of approximately 10,000 square feet of space. The lease expires on January 31, 2028, with the option to extend for one year with appropriate notice.

In June 2025, we entered into a non-cancelable operating lease for a second manufacturing and office space in Morrisville, North Carolina that consists of approximately 70,131 square feet of space. The lease expires on November 1, 2036, with the option to extend for two additional periods of five years each with appropriate notice. The payments under this lease are subject to escalation clauses. The lease is not expected to commence until late 2026. As the lease commencement date has not yet occurred, no right-of-use asset or lease liability has been recognized in the current period condensed consolidated financial statements. Concurrent with the execution of the lease, we provided the landlord an automatically renewable stand-by letter of credit in the amount of $3.3 million. The stand-by letter of credit is collateralized by a high-yield savings account, which is classified as restricted cash, long-term in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

We are also party to a non-cancelable operating lease for our laboratory, manufacturing and office space in Morrisville, North Carolina. The lease expires on December 31, 2031, with an option to extend for an additional period of five years with appropriate notice. We have not included the optional extension period in the measurement of lease liabilities because it is not reasonably certain that we will exercise the option to extend. The payments under this lease are subject to escalation clauses.

Operating lease cost is allocated between inventory, research and development, and selling, general, and administrative expenses based on the usage of the leased facilities. The related right-of-use assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset.

Lease Balances, Costs, and Future Minimum Payments

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. As of March 31, 2026, we have not entered into any short-term leases. For lease agreements entered into or reassessed after the adoption of ASC 842 we combine lease and non-lease components, if any. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Our lease cost is reflected in the accompanying condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss as follows:
