Material Cash Requirements

Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, compensation and related expenses, clinical research and development services, laboratory operations, equipment and related supplies, legal and other regulatory expenses, general administrative costs and, from time to time, expansion of our laboratory and office facilities in support of our growth, such as the construction of our future corporate headquarters. We anticipate that a substantial portion of our cash requirements in the foreseeable future will relate to the further commercialization of our currently marketed products, the development of our future product candidates in our pipeline and the potential commercialization of these pipeline products, should their development be successful and the construction of our future corporate headquarters.

In July 2023, we entered into a definitive agreement to purchase a plot of land located in Friendswood, Texas for a purchase price of $7.6 million, subject to certain adjustments, for the purpose of developing a commercial office building where our future corporate headquarters will be located. In February 2024, we closed on the purchase of the land for cash consideration of $7.2 million. The development project will include a four-story building, which will encompass approximately 80,000 square feet of Class A office space. Construction began in May 2024 and is expected to continue through early 2026, at which time the building is expected to be ready for occupancy and use. Over the duration of this project, we expect to make significant capital expenditures in the form of payments to the developer under a percentage of completion basis. As of December 31, 2024, the development project is expected to cost a total of approximately $42.3 million. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we made $9.3 million in capital expenditures for this development project. We intend to use the proceeds from the 2024 Term Loan (as defined below), the 2024 Credit Line (as defined below) and our existing cash and cash equivalents to pay for this project.

Since our inception, we have generally incurred significant losses and negative operating cash flows, and we have relied heavily on proceeds from our financing activities to fund capital expenditures, business expansion campaigns, and to offset operating deficits. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized net income of $18.2 million and had positive operating cash flow of $64.9 million, though we may be unable to sustain profitability and positive
