NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Black Diamond Therapeutics, Inc. (the Company) is a clinical-stage oncology company developing MasterKey therapies that target families of oncogenic mutations in patients with cancer, including silevertinib, a potential best-in-class brain-penetrant epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor. The Company was originally organized as a limited liability company in December 2014 under the name ASET Therapeutics LLC. In September 2016, the Company was converted to a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware under the name ASET Therapeutics, Inc. The Company changed its name to Black Diamond Therapeutics, Inc. in January 2018. Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to raising capital, obtaining financing and incurring research and development costs related to the development and advancement of its product candidates identified by its Mutation-Allostery-Pharmacology (MAP) drug discovery engine.
The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to clinical-stage companies in the biotechnology industry. There can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development will be successfully completed, that adequate protection for the Company’s technology will be obtained, that any products developed will obtain necessary government regulatory approval or that any products, if approved, will be commercially viable. The Company operates in an environment of rapid technological innovation and substantial competition from pharmaceutical and biotechnological companies. In addition, the Company is dependent upon the services of its employees, consultants and service providers. Even if the Company’s product development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will realize significant revenue from product sales.

On March 18, 2025, the Company entered into a global licensing agreement (the Servier Agreement) with Servier Pharmaceuticals LLC (Servier) for BDTX-4933, a small molecule designed by the Company to address unmet medical needs in RAF/RAS-mutant solid tumors, pursuant to which the Company granted to Servier a worldwide license to develop and commercialize BDTX-4933. Under the terms of the Servier Agreement, Servier will lead the development activities and the worldwide commercialization of BDTX-4933 across multiple indications, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with potential applications in other solid tumors. Under the Servier Agreement, the Company received an upfront payment of $70.0 million in March 2025 and will be eligible to receive up to $710.0 million in development and commercial sales milestone payments, along with tiered royalties based on global net sales. The Servier Agreement is discussed in greater detail in Note 14, License Revenue.
On November 13, 2025, the Company filed a new shelf registration statement on Form S-3, including a base prospectus and sales agreement prospectus (the New Shelf Registration Statement), with the SEC, which covers the offering, issuance and sale of the Company’s common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants and/or units of any combination thereof up to a maximum price of $500.0 million, including up to $150.0 million of shares of its common stock (the Shares) that may be offered, issued and sold under an Open Market Sale AgreementSM (the Sales Agreement) previously entered into with Jefferies LLC (Jefferies), as sales agent, on November 13, 2022 (the ATM Program). The New Shelf Registration Statement was filed to replace the Company’s prior shelf registration statement on Form S-3, originally filed with the SEC on November 14, 2022 and declared effective on November 22, 2022 (the Prior Shelf Registration Statement), which was set to expire on November 22, 2025, in accordance with applicable SEC regulations. The New Shelf Registration Statement became effective on December 3, 2025, and in accordance with Rule 415(a)(6) under the Securities Act, the offering of securities under the Prior Shelf Registration Statement was deemed terminated as of the date of effectiveness of the New Shelf Registration Statement. Upon delivery of a placement notice and subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, Jefferies may sell the Shares by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act. The Company may sell the Shares in amounts and at times to be determined by the Company from time to time subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, but the Company has no obligation to sell any Shares under the Sales Agreement. The Company or Jefferies may suspend or terminate the offering of Shares upon notice to the other party and subject to other conditions. As of June 30, 2026, the Company sold 4,490,853 shares of its common stock pursuant to the ATM Program, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $25.0 million ($24.5 million net of offering costs).
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of continuity of operations, realization of assets, and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. Historically, the Company has funded its operations primarily with proceeds from sales of common stock and preferred stock, and through the $70.0 million upfront payment received under the Servier Agreement in March 2025. The Company has had recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations in substantially all periods since inception and had an accumulated deficit of $483.7 million as of June 30, 2026. The Company expects to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future.
As of August 5, 2026, the issuance date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company expects that its cash, cash equivalents and investments will be sufficient to fund its currently planned operations for at least the next 12 months from the filing date of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company will seek additional funding through private or public equity financings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements. The Company may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all, and the Company may not be able to enter into collaborations or other arrangements. The terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of the Company's stockholders. If the Company is unable to obtain funding, the Company could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate some or all of its research and development programs, product portfolio expansion or commercialization efforts, or reduce headcount and general and administrative costs, which could adversely affect its business prospects. Although management continues to pursue these plans, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient funding on terms acceptable to the Company to fund continuing operations, if at all.
