| Nature of the Business and Basis of Presentation | 1. Nature of the Business and Basis of Presentation Nature of Business Solid Biosciences Inc. (the “Company”) is a life sciences company focused on advancing a portfolio of current and future gene therapy candidates (collectively “Candidates”), including SGT-003 for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (“Duchenne”), SGT-212 for the treatment of Friedreich’s ataxia (“FA”), SGT-501 for the treatment of catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, SGT-601 for the treatment of TNNT2-mediated dilated cardiomyopathy, and additional assets for the treatment of genetic cardiac and neuromuscular diseases, at different stages of development with varying levels of investment. The Company is advancing its diverse pipeline across rare neuromuscular and cardiac diseases, bringing together experts in science, technology, disease management and care. Patient-focused and founded by those directly impacted by Duchenne, the Company’s mission is to improve the daily lives of patients living with these devastating diseases. The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, development by competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on licenses, protection of proprietary technology, dependence on key personnel, compliance with government regulations, and the need to obtain additional financing to fund operations. Candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive preclinical studies and clinical trials and regulatory approval, prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel infrastructure, and extensive compliance and reporting capabilities. The Company’s Candidates are in development. There can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development will be successfully completed, that adequate protection for the Company’s intellectual property will be obtained, that any products developed will obtain necessary government regulatory approval, or that any approved products will be commercially viable. Even if the Company’s product development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will generate significant revenue from product sales. The Company operates in an environment of rapid change in technology and substantial competition from, among others, other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. In addition, the Company is dependent upon the services of its employees, partners, and consultants. Liquidity Based upon its current operating plan, the Company expects that its cash, cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities of $380.7 million, excluding restricted cash of $1.3 million, as of March 31, 2026, will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. However, the Company has based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and its operating plan may change as a result of many factors currently unknown to it. As a result, the Company could deplete its capital resources sooner than it currently expects. Through March 31, 2026, the Company has funded its operations primarily with the proceeds from the sale of redeemable preferred units and member units prior to its initial public offering, as well as the sale of common stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of its common stock in private placements (including the March 2026 Private Placement (as defined below)), the sale of common stock in its initial public offering, follow-on public offerings in March 2021 and February 2025 and under its at-the-market sales agreement. The Company expects to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future and to finance its future cash needs through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic partnerships and alliances or licensing arrangements. If the Company is unable to obtain funding, the Company would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate some or all of its research and development programs, preclinical and clinical testing or commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect its business prospects. Basis of Presentation These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) along with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data presented for comparative purposes was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP to constitute a complete set of financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position at March 31, 2026 and its results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the interim periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026, for any other interim period, or for any other future year. Significant Judgments and Estimates The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments 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 periods. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, estimates related to the recognition of research and development expenses, equity-based compensation, and derivative liabilities. Estimates are periodically reviewed in light of changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ materially from the Company’s estimates. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies There have been no changes to the significant accounting policies disclosed in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10‑K. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2024‑03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Sub‑Topic 220‑40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” which requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement. The standard requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in the income statement. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The requirements should be applied on a prospective basis while retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements”. This ASU clarifies and improves existing interim reporting guidance by consolidating disclosure requirements within Topic 270 and introducing a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose events and changes occurring after the most recent annual reporting period that are expected to have a material effect on the entity’s financial condition or results of operations. The ASU does not introduce significant changes to recognition or measurement guidance. The amendments in this ASU are effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. |
