Krystal Biotech, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
1. Organization
Krystal Biotech, Inc. (the “Company,” or “we” or other similar pronouns) commenced operations in April 2016. In March 2017, we converted from a California limited liability company to a Delaware C-corporation, and changed our name from Krystal Biotech LLC to Krystal Biotech, Inc. In April 2019, we incorporated Jeune Aesthetics, Inc. (“Jeune Aesthetics”), in Delaware, a wholly-owned subsidiary, for the purpose of undertaking preclinical and clinical studies for aesthetic skin conditions. In January 2022, August 2022, December 2022, August 2023, March 2024, November 2024, and December 2024 we incorporated wholly-owned subsidiaries in Switzerland, Netherlands, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, and Spain, respectively, for the purpose of establishing initial operations in Europe and Japan for the commercialization of VYJUVEK ® and our product pipeline.
We are a fully integrated, commercial-stage, global biotechnology company focused on the discovery, development, manufacturing, and commercialization of genetic medicines to treat diseases with high unmet medical needs. Using our patented gene therapy technology platform that is based on engineered herpes simplex virus-1 (“HSV-1”), we create vectors that efficiently deliver therapeutic transgenes to cells of interest in multiple organ systems. The cell’s own machinery then transcribes and translates the transgene to treat the disease. Our vectors are amenable to formulation for non-invasive or minimally invasive routes of administration at a healthcare professional’s office or in the patient’s home. Our innovative technology platform is supported by two in-house, commercial scale Current Good Manufacturing Practice (“CGMP”) manufacturing facilities.
Liquidity
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $ 144.9 million. Our continued operating profitability is dependent upon the continued successful commercialization of VYJUVEK, our FDA and EMA approved product, as well as successful development, approval and commercialization of our product candidates. Management intends to fund future operations through its on hand cash and cash equivalents, revenue generated from the sale of VYJUVEK and the sale of equity, and may also seek additional capital through arrangements with strategic partners, debt financings or other sources. There can be no assurance that additional funding will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.
The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology industry, including but not limited to the failure of product candidates in clinical and preclinical studies, the development of competing product candidates or other technological innovations by competitors, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations and the ability to commercialize product candidates. The Company expects to incur significant costs to further its pipeline and to expand its commercialization capabilities in advance of the potential global regulatory approvals of VYJUVEK. The Company believes that its cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $ 616.8 million as of March 31, 2025 will be sufficient to allow the Company to fund its planned operations for at least the next 12 months from the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (“2024 10-K”), as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 19, 2025.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Management considers many factors in developing the estimates and assumptions that are used in the preparation of these financial statements. Management must apply significant judgment in this process. In addition, other factors may affect estimates, including expected business and operational changes, sensitivity and volatility associated with the assumptions used in developing estimates, and whether historical trends are expected to be representative of future trends. The estimation process often may yield a range of potentially
7
reasonable estimates of the ultimate future outcomes and management must select an amount that falls within that range of reasonable estimates. If actual results in the future vary from the Company’s estimates, the Company will adjust these estimates in the period these variances become known. Estimates are used in the following areas, among others: variable consideration associated with revenue recognition, stock-based compensation expense, accrued expenses, and income taxes.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 10-K. There were no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, Not Yet Adopted
There were no accounting pronouncements issued or adopted during the three months ended March 31, 2025 that are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures . The purpose of this guidance is to enhance the transparency and usefulness of income tax disclosures and provide comprehensive income tax information, particularly in relation to rate reconciliation and income taxes paid in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. This new standard will be effective for fiscal years starting after December 15, 2024, with the option to apply it retrospectively. Early adoption is also allowed. Currently, the Company is assessing the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statement disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This standard calls for enhanced disclosures about components of expense captions on the face of the income statement. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with the option to apply it retrospectively. Early adoption is allowed. Currently, the Company is assessing the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statement disclosures.

4. Net Income Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
Basic net income per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding for the period. Common stock equivalents consist of common stock issuable upon (1) exercise of stock options and (2) vesting of restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units (collectively, “restricted stock”).
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, there were 413 thousand and 154 thousand common stock equivalents outstanding in the form of stock options and 48 thousand and 78 thousand in unvested restricted stock, that have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

7. Commitments and Contingencies
Agreements with Contract Manufacturing Organizations and Contract Research Organizations
The Company enters into various agreements in the normal course of business with Contract Manufacturing Organizations (“CMOs”), Contract Research Organizations (“CROs”) and other third parties for preclinical research studies, clinical trials and testing and manufacturing services. The agreements with CMOs primarily relate to the manufacturing of our sterile gel that is mixed with in-house produced vectors as part of the final drug product for VYJUVEK. Agreements with third parties may also include research and development consulting activities, clinical-trial agreements, testing of our clinical-stage, pre-commercial and commercial stage products and/or storage, packaging and labeling. The Company is obligated to make milestone payments under certain of these contracts. The Company may also be responsible for the payment of a monthly service fee for project management services for the duration of any agreements. The estimated remaining commitments as of March 31, 2025 under these agreements was approximately $ 414 thousand. The Company has incurred research and development expenses related to commitments under these agreements of $ 2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and $ 1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be subject from time to time to various proceedings, lawsuits, disputes, or claims. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 450, Contingencie s (“ASC 450”), the Company accrues a liability for legal contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. If there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss may be incurred, ASC 450 requires disclosure of a loss contingency.
In the first quarter of 2025, the Company and certain of its employees received subpoenas from the U.S. Department of Justice requesting that the Company produce certain documents regarding its sponsored genetic testing program relating to VYJUVEK and commercial practices relating thereto. The Company is cooperating and providing information in response to the subpoenas. It is not possible to estimate the amount of any loss or range of possible loss that might result from this inquiry, and because the final outcome cannot be predicted with certainty, unfavorable or unexpected developments or outcomes could result in a material impact to the Company’s results of operations.

9. Stock-Based Compensation
In 2017, the Company adopted the 2017 IPO Stock Incentive Plan (“Plan”), which governs the issuance of equity awards to employees, certain non-employee consultants, and directors. Initially, the Company reserved 900 thousand shares for issuance under the Plan with an initial sublimit for incentive stock options of 900 thousand shares. On an annual basis, the amount of shares available for issuance under the Plan increases by an amount equal to four percent of the total outstanding shares as of the last day of the preceding calendar year. The sublimit of incentive stock options is not subject to the increase. The Company has historically granted stock options, restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs” and with RSUs commonly referred to collectively as “restricted stock units”) to certain employees.
Shares remaining available for grant under the Plan were 2.0 million as of March 31, 2025.
