INVIVYD, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Nature of the Business and Basis of Presentation
Invivyd, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”), is a biopharmaceutical company on a mission to rapidly and perpetually deliver antibody-based therapies that protect vulnerable people from the devastating consequences of circulating viral threats, beginning with SARS-CoV-2. The Company's technology works at the intersection of evolutionary virology, predictive modeling, and antibody engineering, and is designed to identify high-quality, long-lasting antibodies with the potential to resist viral escape. The Company is generating a robust pipeline of product candidates which could be used in prevention or treatment of serious viral diseases, starting with COVID-19 and expanding into influenza and other high-need indications.
In March 2023, the Company announced dosing of the first participants in a Phase 1 clinical trial of VYD222, a monoclonal antibody (“mAb”) candidate for prevention of COVID-19. In May 2023, the Company completed the dosing of all participants in the Phase 1 clinical trial. The Phase 1 randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging trial, which is being conducted in Australia, will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, tolerability, and serum virus neutralizing activity of VYD222 in healthy adult volunteers. The dose-ranging trial will evaluate three different doses, each administered as a single IV push. All doses are designed to provide durability in the face of viral evolution and flexibility at the time of regulatory submission. Additionally, in April 2023, the Company announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) cleared its Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application for VYD222.
VYD222 is the Company’s second mAb candidate to enter clinical testing. VYD222 has demonstrated in vitro neutralizing activity against prior and current SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (“VoCs”), including Omicron sublineages up to and through XBB.1.5. VYD222 was engineered from adintrevimab, the Company’s investigational mAb that has a robust safety data package and demonstrated clinically meaningful results in global Phase 3 clinical trials for both the prevention and treatment of COVID-19.
Beyond VYD222, the Company plans to leverage its expanded laboratory capabilities and integrated discovery platform to produce additional candidates designed to optimize their ability to stay ahead of the evolving SARS-CoV-2 virus. In addition, the Company continues to engage with regulatory agencies with the goal of streamlining the development of novel antibodies to protect immunocompromised and other high-risk populations against the evolving SARS-CoV-2 virus. The Company is also developing its commercialization approach to determine how best to bring its product candidates, if authorized or approved, to these populations.
The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware in June 2020. The Company operates as a hybrid company with employees working at its corporate headquarters in Waltham, Massachusetts and remotely. In June 2022, and subsequently amended in September 2022, the Company entered into a lease for dedicated laboratory and office space in Newton, Massachusetts for research and development purposes. In 2022, the Company expanded its research team in order to enable internal discovery and development of its mAb candidates, while continuing to leverage the Company’s existing partnership with Adimab, LLC (“Adimab”). The Company is focused on antibody discovery and use of Adimab’s platform technology while building its own internal capabilities. In addition, the Company performs research and development activities internally and engages third parties, including Adimab, to perform ongoing research and development and other services on its behalf.
The Company is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biopharmaceutical industry, including, but not limited to, completing clinical trials, the ability to raise additional capital to fund operations, obtaining regulatory approval for product candidates, market acceptance of products, competition from substitute products, protection of proprietary intellectual property, compliance with government regulations, the impact of COVID-19, dependence on key personnel, the ability to attract and retain qualified employees, and reliance on third-party organizations for the discovery, manufacturing, clinical and commercial success of its product candidates.
The Company has not generated any revenue since inception. The Company’s product candidates require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive clinical testing and regulatory approval prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel and infrastructure and compliance-reporting capabilities. Even if the Company’s development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will generate revenue from product sales, including government supply contracts.
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. The Company has primarily funded its operations with proceeds from sales of convertible preferred stock and proceeds from the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”). The Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception, including a net loss of $
5
The Company expects to seek additional funding through a combination of equity offerings, government or private-party funding or grants, debt financings, collaborations with other companies, strategic alliances and 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 rights of the Company’s stockholders.
If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient capital, the Company will be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate some or all of its research and development programs, product portfolio expansion, or future commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect its business prospects, or the Company may be unable to continue operations. 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.
Impact of COVID-19 on the Company's Operations
The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the disease continues to evolve and change as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and such impact will directly affect the potential commercial prospects of VYD222 and other product candidates for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. The severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, the evolution of the disease and the continued emergence of VoCs, and the availability, administration and acceptance of vaccines, mAbs, antiviral agents and other therapeutic modalities will affect the design and enrollment of the Company’s clinical trials, the potential regulatory authorization or approval of the Company’s product candidates and the commercialization of the Company’s product candidates, if authorized or approved.
Similarly, it is not possible to determine the scale and rate of economic recovery from the pandemic, supply chain disruptions, and labor availability and costs, or the impact of other indirect factors that may be attributable to the pandemic. The ultimate extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business, financial condition, operations and product development timelines and plans remains uncertain and will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of outbreaks and the continued emergence of variants, its impact on the Company’s clinical trial design and enrollment, trial sites, clinical research organizations (“CROs”), contract development and manufacturing organizations (“CDMOs”), and other third parties with which the Company does business, as well as its impact on regulatory authorities and the Company’s key scientific and management personnel. To date, the Company has experienced some delays and disruptions in its development activities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Some of the Company’s CROs, CDMOs and other service providers also continue to be impacted. The Company will continue to monitor developments as it addresses the disruptions, delays and uncertainties relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. If the financial markets and/or the overall economy are impacted for an extended period, the Company’s results and operations may be materially adversely affected and may affect the Company’s ability to raise capital.
Basis of Presentation

6
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2023 and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, which are included in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the condensed consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the condensed consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 and changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 have been made. The Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates 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, research and development expenses and related prepaid or accrued costs and stock-based compensation expense. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or relevant factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates as there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates or assumptions.
The Company is monitoring the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business and condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require any update to its estimates or judgments reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements or a revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities as of the issuance date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained.

4. Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements
Certain assets of the Company are carried at fair value under U.S. GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or an exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:
|
|
|
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|
|
|
Level 2 — Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. |
|
|
|
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques. |
The Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities are carried at fair value, determined according to the fair value hierarchy described above. The carrying values of the Company’s accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these liabilities.
The following tables present the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):
