Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
1. Nature of Business
Editas Medicine, Inc. (the “Company”) is a clinical stage gene editing company dedicated to developing potentially transformative genomic medicines to treat a broad range of serious diseases. The Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware in September 2013. Its principal offices are in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to business planning, research and development, recruiting management and technical staff, and raising capital. The Company has primarily financed its operations through various equity financings, payments received under a research collaboration with Juno Therapeutics, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (“BMS”), payments received under a strategic alliance and option agreement with Allergan Pharmaceuticals International Limited (together with its affiliates, “Allergan”) and payments received in connection with the Company’s license agreement with Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Vertex”) and other payments under the Vertex license agreement.
The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology industry, including but not limited to, risks of failure of preclinical studies and clinical trials, the need to obtain marketing approval for any drug product candidate that it may identify and develop, the need to successfully commercialize and gain market acceptance of its product candidates, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, development by competitors of technological innovations and ability to transition from pilot-scale manufacturing to large-scale production of products.
Liquidity
In June 2023, the Company completed a public offering in which it sold 12,500,000 shares of its common stock and received net proceeds of approximately $ 117.1 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering costs. In May 2021, the Company entered into a common stock sales agreement with Cowen and Company, LLC (“Cowen”), under which the Company from time to time can issue and sell shares of its common stock through Cowen in at-the-market offerings for aggregate gross sale proceeds of up to $ 300.0 million (the “ATM Facility”). The Company amended the common stock sales agreement with Cowen in February 2024 in connection with filing a new registration statement. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has not sold any shares of its common stock under the ATM Facility.
The Company has incurred annual net operating losses in every year since its inception. As of November 4, 2024, the issuance date of the consolidated financial statements, the Company expects that its existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least twelve months from the issuance date of the consolidated financial statements. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $ 1.4 billion at September 30, 2024, and will require substantial additional capital to fund its operations. The Company has never generated any product revenue. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing or generate product revenue or revenues from collaborative partners, on terms acceptable to the Company, on a timely basis or at all. The failure of the Company to obtain sufficient funds on acceptable terms when needed could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.

7. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is a party to a number of license agreements under which the Company licenses patents, patent applications and other intellectual property from third parties. As such, the Company is obligated to pay licensors for various costs including upfront licenses fees, annual license fees, certain licensor expense reimbursements, success payments, research funding payments, and milestones triggerable upon certain development, regulatory, and commercial events as well as royalties on future products. These contracts are generally cancellable, with notice, at the Company’s option and do not have significant cancellation penalties. The terms and conditions as well as the accounting analysis for the Company’s significant commitments and contingencies are described in Note 8, “Commitments and Contingencies” to the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report.

Licensor Expense Reimbursement
The Company is obligated to reimburse The Broad Institute, Inc. (“Broad”) and the President and Fellows of Harvard College (“Harvard”) for expenses incurred by each of them associated with the prosecution and maintenance of the patent rights that the Company licenses from them pursuant to the license agreement by and among the Company, Broad and Harvard, including the interference and opposition proceedings involving patents licensed to the Company under the license agreement, and other license agreements between the Company and Broad. As such, the Company anticipates that it has a substantial commitment in connection with these proceedings until such time as these proceedings have been resolved, but the amount of such commitment is not determinable. The Company incurred an aggregate of $ 2.1 million and $ 6.6 million in expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, for such reimbursement.

Collaboration Revenue
As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s contract liabilities were primarily related to the Company’s collaboration with BMS. The following table presents changes in the Company’s accounts receivable and contract liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 (in thousands):
Balance at December 31, 2023 Additions Deductions Balance at September 30, 2024
Accounts receivable $ 10,187 $ 503 $ ( 10,564 ) $ 126
Contract liabilities:
Deferred revenue $ 68,888 $ — $ — $ 68,888
Amendment to BMS Collaboration Agreement
In March 2024, the Company entered into an amendment (“2024 Amendment”) to the Second Amended and Restated Collaboration and License Agreement, dated as of November 11 2019, by and between the Company and June (the “2019 Collaboration Agreement”) extend the collaboration to November 2026, with options to extend the collaboration for up to an additional two years , and provided BMS the ability to select up to three new gene targets for research. The 2019 Collaboration Agreement, as amended by the 2024 Amendment, is herein referred to as the 2019 Amended Collaboration Agreement.
Accounting Assessment
The Company evaluated the 2024 Amendment and concluded that the agreement qualifies as a contract with a customer under Accounting Standards Codification 606 (“ASC 606”). The contract modification was accounted for on a prospective basis as if it were a termination of the existing contract and the creation of a new contract since the promised goods and services were distinct from the goods and services that were transferred on or before the effective date of the amendment.
The Company has identified the following performance obligations under the 2024 Amendment: eighteen material rights for additional development and commercialization licenses for other gene editing tools specific to a gene target and enzyme combination (or a “Program”).
As of the amendment date and September 30, 2024, the total transaction price was appropriately $ 56.7 million, comprised of the remaining deferred revenue balance that was not recognized pursuant to the 2019 Amended Collaboration Agreement. The Company utilized the most likely amount method to estimate any development and regulatory milestone payments to be received, as well as extension term fees. As of September 30, 2024, there were no milestone or extension term fees included in the transaction price. The Company considers the stage of development and the risks associated with the remaining development required to achieve the milestone, as well as whether the achievement of the milestone is outside the control of the Company or BMS. The outstanding milestone payments and extension term fees were fully constrained as of September 30, 2024, as a result of the uncertainty of whether any of the milestones will be achieved or the term would be extended. The Company has determined that any commercial milestones and sales-based royalties will be recognized when the related sales occur. The Company reevaluates the transaction price at each reporting period and as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur.
The Company concluded that rights and attributes of each of the development and commercialization licenses are identical for both the license granted at inception and the licenses that may be issued in the future upon exercise of the associated option. Each development and commercialization license is differentiated only by the Program to which it relates. The Company has considered the early stage of the science and the uncertainty of success and concluded that the probability of scientific success and opt-in is equal amongst all Programs. In addition, each Program is multi-functional, and a combination of Programs can be utilized in the development of a product candidate. As such, the Company concluded that the standalone selling price of each material right is the same. The Company will recognize the transaction price allocated to each material right when the material right is exercised, lapsed or expired.

10. Net Loss per Share
Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period determined using the treasury stock and if converted methods. Contingently issuable shares are included in the calculation of basic loss per share as of the beginning of the period in which all the necessary conditions have been satisfied. Contingently issuable shares are included in diluted loss per share based on the number of shares, if any, that would be issuable under the terms of the arrangement if the end of the reporting period was the end of the contingency period, if the results are dilutive.
For purposes of the diluted net loss per share calculation, unvested restricted stock unit awards and outstanding stock options are considered to be common stock equivalents, but they were excluded from the Company’s calculation of diluted net loss per share allocable to common stockholders because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Therefore, basic and diluted net loss per share applicable to common stockholders were the same for all periods presented.
The following common stock equivalents were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share allocable to common stockholders because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:
September 30,
2024 2023
Unvested restricted stock unit awards 2,540,456 2,105,283
Outstanding stock options 8,167,944 6,000,626
Total 10,708,400 8,105,909
11. Subsequent Events
On October 3, 2024, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”) with DRI Healthcare Acquisitions LP (“DRI”) under which it sold, transferred, assigned, and conveyed to DRI acquired certain future license fees and other payments (the “Purchased Receivables”) owed to the Company by Vertex under the terms of its license agreement with Vertex (the “License Agreement”) in exchange for an upfront cash payment by DRI to the Company of $ 57.0 million. Under the Purchase and Sale Agreement, DRI is purchasing up to 100% of certain future fixed and sales-based annual license fees owed to the Company under the License Agreement, which fees range from $ 5.0 million to $ 40.0 million per year (inclusive of certain sales-based annual license fees that may become due) and a mid-double-digit percentage of a $ 50.0 million contingent upfront payment that the Company may receive under the License Agreement, in each case after subtracting amounts owing by the Company to Broad and Harvard (each as defined in Note 7). The Company has retained rights to its portions of certain other sales-based annual license fees and the contingent upfront payment that may become due under the License Agreement, and the amounts that correspond to its licensor obligations.
The Purchase and Sale Agreement contains other terms, conditions and agreements, including representations and warranties, covenants and indemnity provisions customary for transactions of this type. There are no financial covenants. Under specified circumstances and subject to certain conditions, the Company may be liable for liquidated damages or termination fees in the range of one to two times the amount of the upfront cash payment. The Purchase and Sale Agreement will terminate on the date on which Purchaser has received the last payment of Purchased Receivables that may become payable pursuant to the License Agreement.
