Ocugen, Inc., together with its wholly owned subsidiaries ("Ocugen" or the "Company"), is a biotechnology company focused on discovering, developing, and commercializing novel gene therapies that improve health and offer hope for patients across the globe. The Company is headquartered in Malvern, Pennsylvania, and manages its business as one operating segment.
Going Concern

The Company has incurred recurring operating losses, generated negative cash flows from operations, and expects to continue to incur significant expenditures to support the research, development, and potential commercialization of its product candidates. The Company has funded its operations to date through the sale of common stock, warrants to purchase common stock, the issuance of convertible notes and debt, and grant proceeds. The Company incurred net losses of approximately $24.9 million and $14.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company incurred net losses of approximately $44.1 million and $30.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $452.1 million and cash and cash equivalents totaling $100.1 million.

In January 2026, the Company raised approximately $20.7 million in net proceeds through an underwritten registered direct offering of shares of common stock. In March 2026, investors partially exercised outstanding warrants, resulting in $14.2 million in net proceeds. In May 2026, the Company completed a private offering of $130.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2034 (“Convertible Notes”), generating net proceeds of approximately $112.5 million after discounts, commissions, and offering expenses. The Company used approximately $32.7 million of the net proceeds from this offering, to fully repay and terminate its Loan and Security Agreement (the “Avenue Capital Loan”) with the remaining proceeds available for general corporate purposes (See Notes 9 and 10).

Management believes these financing transactions strengthened the Company’s financial position and, based on the Company’s current cash, cash equivalents, and anticipated operating plans, provide the Company with increased flexibility to fund its operations and strategic priorities. However, management’s going concern assessment requires consideration of all known and reasonably knowable conditions and events through one year from the issuance date of these condensed consolidated financial statements, including the Company’s recurring operating losses, expected negative cash flows from operations, future clinical and commercialization expenditures, and obligations and uncertainties related to the Company’s financing arrangements, including conversion terms of the Convertible Notes.

After evaluating these conditions and management’s plans, the Company has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Management continues to evaluate and pursue plans to mitigate these conditions, which may include raising additional capital, managing the timing and scope of operating expenditures, pursuing strategic partnerships or licensing arrangements, and/or other financing or corporate transactions. There can be no assurance that such plans will be successfully implemented, that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all, or that the Company will be able to execute its strategic plans within the required timeframe. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funding or otherwise successfully execute its plans when needed, it may be required to delay, reduce, or eliminate certain research and development programs and commercialization activities, consider various strategic alternatives, including a merger or sale, or cease its operations.
