Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Cibus, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP or GAAP) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) applicable to interim financial statements and has included the accounts of Cibus and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the Company’s opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of its statements of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented but they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Except as otherwise disclosed herein, these adjustments consist of normal recurring items. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole or any other interim period.

For further information, refer to the 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, filed with the SEC on March 17, 2026 (Annual Report). The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report.
Use of Estimates Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis. Although estimates are based on the Company’s historical experience, knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately materially differ from these estimates and assumptions. Key estimates made by the Company include revenue recognition, useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets, valuation of equity-based awards and related equity-based compensation expense, valuation of intangible assets, valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, the assumptions underlying the determination of the estimated incremental borrowing rate for the determination of the Company’s operating leases, valuation of warrant liabilities, and the valuation of the Royalty Liability (which refers to the Company’s future royalty payment obligations that the Company undertook to provide to certain investors, including related parties, in exchange for certain warrants that these investors acquired in financing transactions in November 2013 and December 2014 and subsequently surrendered to Cibus Global).
Contract Assets and Liabilities Contract Assets and Liabilities

Contract assets primarily include amounts related to contractual rights to consideration for completed performance not yet invoiced. The Company recognized $0.1 million in contract assets as of March 31, 2026. There was $0.2 million in contract assets as of December 31, 2025, which are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.The Company records contract liabilities when cash payments are received or due in advance of performance, primarily related to advances of upfront and milestone payments from contract research and collaboration agreements. Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company expects to recognize the amounts included in deferred revenues within one year.
Net Loss Per Share of Class A Common Stock

Net Loss Per Share of Class A Common Stock

Weighted average shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding excludes unvested Class A Common Stock, which will be treated as outstanding for financial statement presentation purposes only after such awards have vested and, therefore, have ceased to be subject to a risk of forfeiture. Accordingly, unvested shares of Class A Restricted Stock (as defined below) are excluded from the calculation of net loss per share of Class A Common Stock.
See Note 5 for a detailed discussion of pre-funded warrants issued in January 2025 and subsequent exercises. Outstanding pre-funded warrants are considered equity instruments and are reported in stockholders’ equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The weighted average shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding includes the shares issuable upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants and are included in the determination of the Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share of Class A Common Stock.

For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding as inclusion of the common stock equivalent securities would be antidilutive.

The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share of Class A Common Stock for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025:

Three Months Ended March 31,
In Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Amounts20262025
Numerator:
Net loss attributable to Cibus, Inc. stockholders$(21,222)$(46,886)
Denominator:
Weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding64,802,24430,602,692
Effect of pre-funded warrants400,0004,450,000
Weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding – basic and diluted65,202,24435,052,692
Basic and diluted net loss per share of Class A common stock$(0.33)$(1.34)
The Company’s potential dilutive securities, which include common stock warrants, unvested restricted stock units, unvested restricted stock awards, and options to purchase Class A Common Stock, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share of Class A Common Stock as the effect would be antidilutive. Therefore, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share of Class A Common Stock is the same.
Segment Reporting Segment Reporting

Cibus has one operating and reportable segment. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) is the Interim Chief Executive Officer who manages business activities, assesses performance, and allocates resources on a consolidated basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, all revenues from the Company’s external customers were derived, and all long-lived assets were located, in the United States. The operating segment revenues are derived from customers as a result of Cibus providing research and development (R&D) services to develop plant traits which are specific genetic characteristics in the DNA of a plant’s seed.
The CODM utilizes consolidated net loss in assessing performance and allocating resources by comparing net loss against prior periods and the Company’s forecast. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as total consolidated assets.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

From time-to-time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.
