NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
GRAIL, Inc. (“GRAIL” or the “Company”), headquartered in Menlo Park, Californi a , is an innovative commercial-stage healthcare company focused on saving lives and shifting the paradigm of early cancer detection. The Company’s Galleri blood test is a commercially available screening test for early detection of multiple types of cancer. GRAIL’s common stock is listed under the ticker symbol “GRAL” on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange.
GRAIL was previously acquired by Illumina, Inc. (”Illumina”) in August 2021, at which point it became a 100 % owned subsidiary of Illumina, and held separate as a part of binding hold separate commitments implemented pursuant to orders issued by the European Commission (the “Acquisition”). GRAIL separated from Illumina on June 24, 2024, as described below. GRAIL was a limited liability company (“LLC”) from August 19, 2021 to June 21, 2024 when it was converted into a corporation (the “Conversion”) in anticipation of such separation.
Separation from Illumina
On June 24, 2024, (the “Distribution Date”), Illumina completed the previously announced spin-off of GRAIL (the “Spin-Off”). The Spin-Off was completed through a distribution of 85.5 % of the Company’s outstanding common stock to the holders of record of Illumina’s common stock as of the close of business on June 13, 2024 (the “Distribution”), which resulted in the distribution of 31.0 million shares of common stock. As a result of the Distribution, the Company became an independent public entity. Illumina’s ownership of GRAIL reduced to 4,502,126 shares of common stock representing 14.5 % ownership of the Company after the Spin-Off. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the “Company” or “GRAIL”, refer to (i) GRAIL, LLC prior to the Conversion and (ii) GRAIL, Inc. and its subsidiaries following the Conversion.
In co nnection with the Spin-Off, the Company entered into or adopted agreements that provide a framework for the relationship between the Company and Illumina, including, but not limited to the following:
• Separation and Distribution Agreement — governed the terms and conditions of the Spin-Off and sets forth aspects of the Company’s and Illumina’s relationship following the Spin-Off. See Note 9 — Legal And Regulatory Proceedings for more information regarding the contingencies related to this agreement.
• Tax Matters Agreement — governs the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of Illumina and the Company after the Spin-Off with respect to all tax matters and includes restrictions to preserve the tax-free status of the Distribution. See Note 12 — Taxes for more information regarding income taxes and Note 9 — Legal And Regulatory Proceedings regarding the contingencies related to this agreement.
• Employee Matters Agreement — addressed employment, compensation, and benefits matters, including the allocation and treatment of assets and liabilities relating to employees and compensation and benefits plan s and programs in which GRAIL employees participate, as well as the treatment of cash-based incentive awards in connection with the Spin-Off. See Note 8 — Stock-Based Compensation for further details regarding the treatment of equity awards.
• Stockholder and Registration Rights Agreement — governs the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of Illumina and the Company after the Spin-Off with respect to Illumina’s continuing ownership of GRAIL common stock.
• Supply and Commercialization Agreement Amendment — amended the Company’s supply and commercialization agreement with Illumina, which governs the ongoing supply and commercial relationship, including licensing, royalty payments and intellectual property between GRAIL and Illumina. See Note 14 — Related Party Transactions for more information regarding the royalty arrangements with Illumina.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Illumina provided the Company with disposal funding (the “Disposal Funding”) in the amount of $ 932.3 million in accordance with the Separation and Distribution Agreement, which was subject to a clawback feature that lapsed on September 24, 2025. See Note 9 — Legal And Regulatory Proceedings — Contingencies for details.
Our Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business are dependent on, among other things, the Company’s ability to manage its net loss and to become profitable and operate profitably, to manage the Company’s negative cash flows from operations and to generate positive cash flows from operations, and the Company’s ability to obtain financing to support working capital requirements. The Company had $ 126.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and $ 413.2 million of short-term marketable securities as of September 30, 2025.
The Company believes that its existing cash , cash equivalents, and short-term marketable securities will be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next 12 months, as of the date these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were filed.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements represent the historical operations of the standalone GRAIL legal entity and include purchase accounting adjustments and certain tax adjustments as if the Company filed a separate income tax return and was not included in Illumina’s consolidated return for the period of time the Company was owned by Illumina. All revenues and costs as well as assets and liabilities directly associated with the business activity of the Company are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Certain a ssets and liabilities were reflected at fair value under the new basis of accounting established at the closing of the Acquisition.
Management considered the need to allocate any historical shared costs incurred by the parent, Illumina, to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As previously discussed, the European Commission adopted an order requiring Illumina and GRAIL to be held and operated as distinct and separate entities. As no integration ever occurred, management concluded that no material allocations were required. Prior to the Spin-Off, the Company had generated net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state tax purposes, however, as a single member LLC disregarded for tax purposes, these tax attributes are the sole property of Illumina and remained the assets of Illumina following the Spin-off in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code. However, amounts recognized by the Company are not necessarily representative of the amounts that would have been reflected in the financial statements had the Company operated independently of the parent. Related party transactions with Illumina are discussed further in Note 14 — Related Party Transactions .
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for interim financial information and pursuant to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary to present the results fairly, and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries for the interim periods presented. All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any future period. The following information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2024 Form 10-K.

Significant Accounting Policies
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, there were no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies , within the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in its 2024 Form 10-K, except as described below.
Leases
Leases are classified as operating or financing at lease inception and as necessary at modification. Leased assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.
Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. When readily determinable, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments; however, when the rate is not readily determinable, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that a company would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term and in a similar economic environment. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any initial direct costs, lease payments made prior to lease commencement, and lease incentives received. Variable lease payments are expensed as incurred and are not included within the ROU asset and lease liability calculation. Variable lease payments primarily include reimbursements of costs incurred by lessors for common area maintenance and utilities.
For each lease, the determined lease term is based on a noncancellable period, including any rent-free periods provided by the lessor, and may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease cost for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Certain lease agreements contain lease and non-lease components. The Company accounts for non-lease components as part of the lease component to which they relate.
The Company does not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases, which have a lease term of twelve months or less and do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets identified in the Acquisition include GRAIL trade names, developed technology, and GRAIL in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) and were measured at fair value as of the Closing Date.
The Company’s trade names, GRAIL and Galler i , have brand recognition in the market related to the services GRAIL provides customers and the research and development activities GRAIL performs. GRAIL’s developed technology includes intangible assets related to Galler i , its multi-cancer early detection test that was launched as a laborator y -developed test (“LDT”) in 2021, as well as a diagnostic aid for cancer (“DAC”) test. The developed technology underpins both Galler i , designed as a cancer screening test for asymptomatic individuals over 50 years of age, and DAC that is being designed to accelerate diagnostic resolution for patients for whom there is a clinical suspicion of cancer. The cost of identifiable intangible assets with finite lives, such as trade names and developed technology assets, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the assets’ respective estimated useful lives of 9 years and 18 years, respectively.
The Company’s IPR&D includes assets related to GRAIL’s development of a minimal residual disease (“MRD”) test, a post-diagnostic test, that is currently under development. IPR&D is considered indefinit e -lived and therefore is not amortized until completed and placed into service, at which point it will begin to be amortized over its estimated useful life or expensed upon abandonment of the associated research and development efforts.

GRAIL, Inc.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
While IPR&D is not amortize d , it is reviewed for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate a potential for impairment. IPR&D is considered impaired if the carrying value of the reporting unit or IPR&D asset exceeds its respective fair value.
During the indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment review, the Company assesses the qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset fair value is less than the carrying amount. The qualitative factors considered include, but are not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, and the Company’s overall financial performance. If the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that the intangible asset is less than the carrying amount, no additional assessment is necessary. If the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, the Company records an impairment loss based on the excess. The Company may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment in a period and proceed to perform the quantitative indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test.
Stock- Based Compensation Expense - 2024 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The fair value of shares to be issued under the Company’s 2024 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), is derived using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model at the commencement of six-month purchase periods in May and November of each year. The Company’s first offering period began in May 2025 with the first purchase date expected to take place in November 2025. Stock-based compensation for the ESPP is expensed using a straight-line attribution method over the offering period. Additionally, forfeitures are accounted for as incurred.

NOTE 4. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Due to the application of pushdown accounting, the Company’s balance sheet includes goodwill and intangible assets recognized by Illumina in connection with Illumina’s acquisition of the Company.
Goodwill Impairment
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price Illumina paid over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired upon the acquisition of the Company.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, prior to the Spin-Off, the approval of the Spin-Off by Illumina’s board of directors represented a potential indicator of impairment, which also aligned with the timing of Illumina’s annual goodwill impairment test date for 2024. The assessment was performed using a market approach to determine the fair value of goodwill which utilized the valuation ranges prepared by the divestment financial advisors engaged by Illumina in connection with the Spin-Off. The valuation ranges were determined using revenue multiples from public company peers for comparable companies. The implied discount rate for the goodwill impairment assessment was 51.5 %. These estimates and assumptions represent a Level 3 measurement because they include unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and reflect Company-determined and judgmental factors for these assumptions in measuring fair value. The assumptions in the assessment of an impairment analysis are inherently subjective due to uncertainty and any slight changes in these rates and assumptions could have a significant impact on the concluded value of goodwill. The Company recognized a goodwill impairment of $ 888.9 million as a result of the impairment assessment, primarily due to changes to the forecast of GRAIL’s value and the method for valuing GRAIL .
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets identified in the Acquisition include developed technology, trade names and IPR&D and were measured at fair value as of the closing date of Illumina’s acquisition of the Company ( “Closing Date”) .
The following roll-forward indicates the fair values assigned to finite-lived intangible assets from the Acquisition and the resulting amortization:

In conjunction with Illumina’s Q2 2024 goodwill impairment assessment, the IPR&D intangible asset of the GRAIL reporting unit was evaluated for potential impairment by Illumina prior to the Spin-Off. The evaluation for a potential impairment of the IPR&D intangible asset was performed by comparing its carrying value to the assessed estimated fair value, which was determined by the income approach, using a discounted cash flow model. Estimates and assumptions used in the income approach included projected cash flows and a discount rate. The discount rate selected at the time of the IPR&D intangible impairment assessment prior to the Spin-Off was 46.5 %. Based on the impairment test performed, Illumina assessed and determined that the carrying value of GRAIL’s IPR&D intangible asset exceeded its estimated fair value. As a result of push down accounting, the Company recognized an impairment of $ 420.0 million primarily due to changes to revenue projections and the discount rate utilized.
In Q2 2024, subsequent to the Spin-Off, the Company performed a portfolio review and determined to decrease investment in the development of the IPR&D asset, which impacted the amount and timing of expected future cash flows attributable to IPR&D. This determination was driven by the impact of the Company’s post-Spin-Off capital structure, constitution of the Company’s Board at the time of the Spin-Off as the key decision maker for the determination, and increased ability to revisit the Company’s business strategy and portfolio as a standalone public company without regulatory oversight. This represented a potential impairment indicator. An impairment assessment was performed using a discounted cash flow model utilizing the updated projected cash flows and discount rate. The discount rate selected was 20 % . Based on the impairment test performed, the Company assessed and determined that the carrying value of the IPR&D intangible asset exceeded its estimated fair value. As a result, the Company recognized an additional impairment of $ 112.0 million , primarily due to a decrease in projected cash flows.
In Q2 2025, the Company identified a change in market conditions in relation to its IPR&D asset which is in development. The change is expected to impact the amount of future cash flows attributable to the technology underlying the IPR&D asset. This represented a potential impairment indicator. An impairment assessment was performed using a discounted cash flow model utilizing the updated projected cash flows and discount rate. The discount rate selected was 21 % . Based on the impairment test performed, the Company assessed and determined that the carrying value of the IPR&D intangible asset exceeded its estimated fair value. As a result, the Company recognized an impairment of $ 28.0 million, resulting in write off of the entire carrying value of the IPR&D asset.
The estimates and assumptions updated in each of these evaluations represent a Level 3 measurement because they include unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and reflect Company- determined and judgmental factors for these assumptions in measuring a fair value. The assumptions in the assessment of an impairment analysis are inherently subjective due to uncertainty and any slight changes in these rates and assumptions could have a significant impact on the concluded value of the IPR&D intangible asset.
Amortization expense related to finite-lived intangible assets was $ 34.6 million for each of the three month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 and $ 103.8 million for each of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 .

The Company had one security with a fair value of $ 18.3 million in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2025 and no securities in unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2024. None of the Company’s marketable securities had been in an unrealized loss position for more than one year as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company evaluates investments that are in an unrealized loss position for impairment as a result of credit loss. It was determined that no credit losses exist as of September 30, 2025 because the change in market value for the security that was in an unrealized loss position resulted from fluctuating interest rates rather than a deterioration of the credit worthiness of the issuers. The Company does not intend to sell the money market funds and short term investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis.

Cash-Based Equity Awards and 2024 Transition Incentive Awards
In connection with the Spin-Off in June 2024, outstanding cash-based equity incentive awards (the “Cash-Based Equity Awards”) and certain Cash-Based Equity Awards granted to GRAIL employees, including executives, for retention purposes in the second quarter of 2024 (the “2024 Transition Incentive Awards”), were converted into Company restricted stock units in accordance with the Employee Matters Agreement by dividing the aggregate award value by the volume-weighted average share price over the first four trading days following the Spin-Off. As a result of the modification, the Cash-Based Equity Awards and 2024 Transition Awards, which were liability-classified awards prior to the Spin-Off, were reclassified as equity-classified awards. The Cash-Based Equity Awards and the 2024 Transition Incentive Awards in the amount of $ 50.3 million and $ 4.4 million, respectively, were reclassified to Additional Paid-In Capital and converted into 4.0 million and 2.5 million RSUs, respectively. See Note 7 - Stock-based compensation in the 2024 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for further details.
2024 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The ESPP was adopted by GRAIL and approved by Illumina’s Board of Directors, in its capacity as GRAIL’s sole stockholder, in May 2024. The maximum number of shares authorized for issuance under the ESPP increased by 338,934 shares to 752,955 shares on January 1, 2025 pursuant to the annual automatic evergreen increase provision of the ESPP. As of September 30, 2025, 752,955 shares were available for issuance under the ESPP.
Under the ESPP as currently implemented, eligible employees are offered shares through a six-month offering period commencing in May and November of each year. Employees who participate in the ESPP may elect to have up to 15 % of their eligible compensation withheld to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The purchase price of the Company’s common stock will be equal to 85 % of the lower of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the beginning of each offering period or the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the end of the six-month offering period. The Company’s first offering period began in May 2025 with the first purchase date expected to take place in November 2025. No shares were offered under the ESPP during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024. No shares were issued under the ESPP during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2025 or the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024.
The fair value of employee stock purchase rights under the ESPP have been estimated with the following assumptions using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model:
Three and Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2025
Weighted-average assumptions:
Expected life (in years)
0.5
Risk-free interest rate
4.2 %
Expected volatility
108.7 %
Expected dividend
0 %
Weighted-average estimated grant date fair value per share $ 17.68
The expected term represents the term from the first day of the offering period to the purchase date. The risk-free interest rate assumption was based upon observed interest rates of Treasury bills appropriate for the expected term. The expected stock price volatility assumption was estimated using the average of the Company’s historical volatility and average volatility of the Company’s peer companies. The average of the Company’s peer companies and its own volatility is more representative of future stock price trends than the Company’s historical volatility due to its limited history as a public company. Expected dividend yield was 0 % as the Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock.

As of September 30, 2025, unrecognized compensation costs related to the ESPP was $ 0.6 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.1 years.
Performance-Based Awards
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company granted performance-based restricted stock unit (“PSU”) awards under the 2024 Plan with vesting conditions tied to achievement of Company-specific performance and continued service. One-third of the PSUs subject to the awards vest upon the achievement of a Company-specific performance condition and the remaining two-thirds of the PSUs subject to the awards vest in substantially equal installments upon each of the first and second anniversaries of the initial vesting date, in each case, subject to the holder’s continued service with the Company through the applicable vesting date. The PSU awards had an aggregate grant date fair value of $ 1.0 million and expire, to the extent unvested, in May 2035. As of September 30, 2025, it was not probable that the performance conditions associated with the PSU awards will be achieved and, therefore, no stock-based compensation expense has been recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company also has one performance-based award outstanding for a former employee for which vesting is based on future revenues. The award has an aggregate potential value of up to $ 78.0 million and expires, to the extent unvested, on August 27, 2030. One-fourth of the total potential value of the award vests immediately upon the achievement of cumulative net revenues in any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of $ 500.0 million, $ 750.0 million, $ 1.5 billion, and $ 2.0 billion. The Company assesses the probability of achieving the performance conditions associated with the award on a quarterly basis at each reporting period. If and to the extent that the liability becomes due and payable prior to 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time December 24, 2026 (the “Disposal Funding Period”) and paid by GRAIL, in cash, during the Disposal Funding Period, Illumina shall reimburse GRAIL all or such portion of the liability paid by GRAIL in accordance of the terms of the Separation and Distribution Agreement. As of September 30, 2025, it was not probable that the performance conditions associated with the award will be achieved and, therefore, no stock-based compensation expense, or corresponding loss recovery asset or liability, has been recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 9. LEGAL AND REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS
The Company is subject to various claims, complaints, regulatory proceedings, and legal actions that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business.
Federal Securities Class Actions
On November 11, 2023, the first of three securities class action complaints was filed against Illumina and certain of its current and former executive officers in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. The first-filed case is captioned Kangas v. Illumina, Inc. et al., the second-filed case is captioned Roy v. Illumina, Inc. et al., and the third-filed case is captioned Louisiana Sheriffs’ Pension & Relief Fund v. Illumina, Inc. et al. (collectively, the “Actions”). The complaints generally allege, among other things, that defendants made materially false and misleading statements and omitted material facts relating to Illumina’s acquisition of Grail. The complaints seek unspecified damages, interest, fees, and costs. On January 9, 2024, four movants filed motions to consolidate the Actions and to appoint a lead plaintiff (“Lead Plaintiff Motions”). On April 11, 2024, the Court issued an order consolidating the Actions into a single action (captioned in re Illumina, Inc. Securities Litigation No. 23-cv-2082-LL-MMP), and appointed Universal-Investment-Gesellschaft mbH, UI BVK Kapitalverwaltungsgesellschaft mbH, and ACATIS Investment Kapitalverwaltungsgesellschaft mbH as lead plaintiffs. (the “Lead Plaintiffs”). On June 21, 2024, the Lead Plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint. The amended complaint alleges that GRAIL, in addition to Illumina, and certain of their respective current and former directors and others violated sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act and SEC Rule 10b-5 in connection with Illumina's acquisition of GRAIL and disclosures concerning the same. GRAIL has an indemnification obligation for certain current and former directors and officers involved in the matter pursuant to indemnification agreements entered into by these individuals and GRAIL. On September 13, 2024 the plaintiffs further amended the complaint. On November 12, 2024, the Company moved to dismiss Lead Plaintiffs’ second amended complaint for failure to state a claim under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act. Lead Plaintiffs

filed their opposition to the motion to dismiss on December 20, 2024, and the Company filed its reply in support of its motion to dismiss on February 3, 2025. On September 26, 2025, the court granted the motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim with leave to amend, and ordered the plaintiffs to file an amended complaint, if any, by October 27, 2025. On October 27, 2025, the Lead Plaintiffs filed their third amended complaint. The Company denies the allegations in the complaints and intends to vigorously defend the litigation. In light of the fact that the lawsuits are in an early stage, the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the suits.
Other Legal Matters
Legal matters include various claims, complaints, and legal actions that arise from time to time. In addition to direct involvement in legal matters, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its current and former directors, executive officers, and certain other officers to provide these directors and officers, and has certain indemnification obligations under the Company’s charter and bylaws to these individuals, which may give rise to liability for the Company even if the Company is not directly named. The Company has indemnification obligations in respect of the Actions and with respect to other legal matters that may arise, or have arisen, from time to time. There can be no assurance that existing or future legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business or otherwise will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
The Company is involved in various lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including actions with respect to employment matters. In connection with these matters, the Company assesses, on a regular basis, the probability and range of possible loss based on the developments in these matters. A liability is recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements if it is believed to be probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Since litigation is inherently unpredictable and unfavorable resolutions could occur, assessing contingencies is highly subjective and requires judgments about future events. The Company regularly reviews outstanding legal matters to determine the adequacy of the liabilities accrued and related disclosures. The Company may change its estimates if its assessment of the various factors changes and the amount of ultimate loss may differ from estimates, resulting in a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and/or cash flows. As of September 30, 2025, the Company is unable to estimate a range of possible loss in excess of the amounts accrued .
Contingencies
Contingencies primarily correspond to claims arising in the ordinary course of business. If necessary, these contingencies will be accrued, to the extent believed to be reasonably estimable to resolve the matter. The accrued contingency amounts are included in other current liabilities. Should the Company not be able to secure the terms it expects, these estimates may change and will be recognized in the period in which they are identified.
In connection with the Spin-Off, Illumina provided the Company with disposal funding in the amount of $ 932.3 million in accordance with the Separation and Distribution Agreement, which was subject to a clawback feature that lapsed on September 24, 2025.
On June 21, 2024, in connection with the Spin-Off, Illumina and the Company also entered into the Tax Matters Agreement to govern the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of Illumina and the Company after the Spin-Off with respect to all tax matters and will include restrictions to preserve the tax-free status of the Distribution. The Tax Matters Agreement included a number of restrictions on the Company to preserve the intended tax treatment of the Spin-Off. Breach of any covenant or representation contained in the Tax Matters Agreement will result in liability to specific separation taxes. As of September 30, 2025 , as it was not probable that the Company will breach the agreement, no contingent liability was recorded in connection with the Tax Matters Agreement.

NOTE 10. RESTRUCTURING
On August 9 , 2024, following a portfolio review, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan (“Restructuring Plan”) designed to re-prioritize the Company’s resources to focus on its core multi-cancer early detection (“MCED”) business and reduce overall spend as the Company progresses towards completion of registrational studies and premarket approval application (“PMA”) submission . The Restructuring Plan was substantially completed in the fourth quarter of 2024, and the Company incurred $ 18.3 million of total restructuring charges from August 9, 2024 through December 31, 2024, consisting primarily of employee severance, benefits, payroll taxes, asset impairments and other associated costs. The following table presents the total restructuring charges by function for the period indicated:

NOTE 11. NET LOSS PER SHARE
Prior to the completion of the Spin-Off from Illumina, the Company had no common shares issued and outstanding. In connection with the Spin-Off, on June 24, 2024, there were 31.0 million shares of GRAIL common stock distributed to Illumina stockholders. This share amount is utilized for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods presented prior to the Spin-Off.

NOTE 12. TAXES
For interim financial statement purposes, U.S. GAAP provision (benefit) for taxes related to ordinary income is determined by applying an estimated annual effective income tax rate against a company’s ordinary income, subject to certain limitations on the benefit of losses. Provision (benefit) for taxes related to items not characterized as ordinary income is recognized as a discrete item when incurred. The estimation of the Company’s income tax provision requires the use of management forecasts and other estimates, application of statutory income tax rates, and an evaluation of valuation allowances. The Company’s estimated annual effective income tax rate may be revised, if necessary, in each interim period.
The worldwide effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 was 26.03 % and 5.45 %, respectively. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 primarily relates to the Company’s 2024 valuation allowance impacts against pre-tax losses prior to the Spin-off.
The effective tax rate was higher than the 21% U.S. federal statutory rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to state taxes, offset by discrete tax benefits from stock-based compensation.
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions using a more-likely-than-not threshold for recognizing and resolving uncertain tax positions. This evaluation is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, effectively settled issues under audit, and new audit activity. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are included within income tax expense. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded income tax expense related to its Federal and California research and development credits of $ 0.5 million and $ 0.3 million, respectively.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. As of the date of this filing, the Company is not currently under examination by income tax authorities in federal, state, or other jurisdictions. All tax returns will remain open for examination by the federal and state authorities for three and four years, respectively, from the date of utilization of any net operating loss or credits.
As discussed in Note 1 — Organization And Description Of Business , prior to the Spin-Off, for tax purposes, the Company operated as a subsidiary of Illumina and not as a separately regarded taxable entity. Accordingly, the effective worldwide income tax rate for the period prior to the Spin-Off was calculated using the separate return method as if the Company filed income tax returns on both a standalone basis and on a carve-out basis.

NOTE 13. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company operates and manages its business as one reportable operating segment which provides multi-cancer early detection testing and services. The Company's chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the chief executive officer. The chief operating decision maker reviews financial information on an aggregate basis for the purposes of evaluating financial performance and allocating resources based on net income (loss), adjusted gross margin and adjusted EBITDA. Net income (loss) is the measure of segment profit most consistent with U.S. GAAP that is regularly reviewed by the CODM to allocate resources and assess performance. The CODM does not evaluate operating segment performance using asset information.
The following table is representative of the significant expense categories regularly provided to the CODM when managing the Company’s single reporting segment. A reconciliation to the consolidated net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 is included in the table below:
