Description of Business, Organization and Liquidity

Organization and Business

Metagenomi Therapeutics, Inc. (“Metagenomi” or the “Company”), formerly known as Metagenomi, Inc., is an in vivo genome editing company capitalizing on its proprietary technologies to create curative genetic medicines for patients.

Name Change

In the first quarter of 2026, the Company announced a corporate name change to Metagenomi Therapeutics, Inc. This change emphasized the Company’s strategic evolution focused on driving its later-stage preclinical programs into the clinic and utilizing its most advanced technologies that have the highest probability of success to deliver the benefits of gene-editing therapeutics to patients.

 

Liquidity and Going Concern

The Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $333.9 million. The Company has historically financed its operations primarily through issuance of redeemable convertible preferred stock, convertible promissory notes, its collaboration agreements, and sales of its common stock. In February 2024, the Company completed its IPO for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $80.7 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering costs totaling approximately $13.0 million. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $75.0 million of capacity available under the ATM Sales Agreement. The Company expects to continue to incur substantial losses, and its ability to achieve and sustain profitability will depend on the successful development, approval, and commercialization of any product candidates it may develop, and on the achievement of sufficient revenue to support its cost structure. The Company may never achieve profitability and, unless and until it does, it will need to continue to raise additional capital. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in acquiring additional capital at levels sufficient to fund its operations or on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. Management believes that existing cash, cash equivalents and available-for-sale marketable securities as of March 31, 2026, of $140.2 million will be sufficient to fund its current operating plan for at least the next 12 months from the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed financial statements.
