Note 1. Organization and Description of Business
Senti Biosciences, Inc. and its subsidiary (the “Company” or “Senti”), is a clinical stage biotechnology company developing next-generation cell and gene therapies engineered with its gene circuit platform technologies for patients living with incurable diseases. Senti’s mission is to create a new generation of smarter therapies that can outsmart complex diseases using novel and unprecedented approaches. Senti has built a synthetic biology platform that enables it to program next-generation cell and gene therapies with gene circuits. These gene circuits, which are created from novel and proprietary combinations of DNA sequences, reprogram cells with biological logic to sense inputs, compute decisions and respond to their cellular environments. The Company is headquartered in South San Francisco, California.
Liquidity and Going Concern
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities, and reported expenses that may be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to organizing and staffing, business planning, raising capital, and conducting preclinical and clinical studies and has not realized substantial revenues from its planned principal operations. As of September 30, 2025, the Company raised aggregate gross proceeds of $ 356.9 million from the merger in 2022, the issuance of shares of common stock, the issuance of shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock, the issuance of convertible notes, and, to a lesser extent, through collaboration agreements and governmental grants and loans.
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $ 344.1 million and $ 297.1 million , respectively. The Company’s net losses were $ 47.0 million and $ 52.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Su bstantially all of the Company’s net losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with the Company’s research and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with the Company’s operations. The Company expects to incur substantial operating losses and negative cash flows from operations for the foreseeable future as the Company advances its preclinical activities and clinical trials for its product candidates in development.
The Company concluded that substantial doubt continued to exist and that the Company’s cash and cash equivalents of $ 12.2 million as of September 30, 2025, were not sufficient for the Company to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the issuance date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. Additional funds will be necessary to maintain current operations and to continue research and development activities. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon management’s ability to raise capital and ultimately develop profitable operations. While management is devoting substantially all of its efforts to developing the Company’s business and raising capital, there can be no assurance that these efforts will be successful. Moreover, no assurance can be given that management’s actions will result in raising additional financing or profitable operations.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and include all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments that the management of Senti Biosciences believes are necessary for a fair presentation of the periods presented and are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full fiscal year or for any subsequent interim period. Any reference in these notes to

(Unaudited)
applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative U.S. GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and as amended by Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Senti Biosciences, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has one business activity and operates in one reportable segment.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the valuation of stock-based awards, the accrual for research and development expenses, the valuation of GeneFab Option, the valuation of GeneFab Economic Share, redeemable convertible preferred stock, and the determination of the incremental borrowing rate. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and adjusts those estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassification of Prior-Period Amounts
Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-period presentation. Specifically, the Company reclassified a $ 0.3 million impairment charge recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2024, from “Impairment of long-lived assets” to “General and administrative expenses.” These reclassifications did not impact total operating expenses, net loss, or cash flows for any period presented.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents which are maintained in checking and money market accounts at one financial institution, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company has not experienced any credit losses in such accounts or investments.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had prepaid future manufacturing and research services of $ 2.1 million under an agreement with GeneFab, LLC (“GeneFab”) for certain development and manufacturing services agreement which are recorded in GeneFab prepaid expenses - related party on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2025, the Company also had $ 1.6 million receivable from GeneFab related to both services provided under the transition services agreement and rent payments which was recorded in GeneFab receivable - related party in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, of which $ 1.0 million was received in October 2025. The prepaid expense and receivable balances from GeneFab potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk if the Company is unable to realize these balances. Refer to Note 3 . GeneFab Transaction for further details of the GeneFab transaction.
Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the related footnotes are unaudited. These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements, and in management’s opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2025 and its results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or any other period. The December 31, 2024 year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not include all disclosures from the annual consolidated financial statements.

(Unaudited)
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the related notes included in the Company’s Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”), filed with the SEC on March 20, 2025, which provides a more complete discussion of the Company’s accounting policies and certain other information. There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures , which improves income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2025, and the adoption did not result in additional disclosures in the notes to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, and we are evaluating the impact to our year end disclosures for 2025.
Note 3. GeneFab Transaction
On August 7, 2023, the Company entered into a framework agreement (“the “GeneFab Framework Agreement”) with GeneFab and Valere Bio, Inc. (“Valere”), a Delaware corporation and the parent company of GeneFab, which is wholly owned by Celadon Partners, LLC, pursuant to which the Company, subject to the terms and conditions therein, sold, assigned and transferred its rights, title and interest in certain of the assets and contractual rights, including all of the Company’s equipment at the Company’s facilities in Alameda and certain of the Company’s non-oncology license rights, intellectual property related to the schematics for and design of the Alameda facility. The Company subleased to GeneFab its premises under a lease for the Alameda facility (the “Alameda Sublease”), and in June 2024, the Company subleased to GeneFab a portion of the Company’s headquarters’ lease (the “HQ Sublease”). The Alameda Sublease and the HQ Sublease are collectively referred to as the “GeneFab Sublease”. GeneFab is currently in default under the GeneFab Sublease and has not indicated when it will pay the Company the full amount of overdue rent payments. As of September 30, 2025, GeneFab owed the Company $ 4.7 million in past-due sublease rent payments, of which $ 1.0 million was received in October 2025. Refer to Note 5 . Operating Leases for GeneFab Sublease considerations.
On August 7, 2023, the Company and GeneFab also entered into a development and manufacturing services agreement (“DMSA”), pursuant to which GeneFab will provide certain services to the Company using the subleased Alameda facility and acquired equipment. As part of this transaction, the Company entered into a transition services agreement with GeneFab whereby certain services are to be provided by each party to the other party during a transition period beginning on August 7, 2023 (the “Transition Services Agreement”). The DMSA was amended and restated on December 10, 2024 as described below. GeneFab is a related party and the Company reports transactions with GeneFab under ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures (“ASC 850”) Refer to Note 12 . Related Parties for GeneFab related party considerations.
GeneFab prepaid expenses - related party
The Company was entitled to $ 18.9 million in future manufacturing and research activities to be rendered by GeneFab under the services agreement, which was recorded in GeneFab prepaid expenses - related party on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had utilized the full amount of this initial prepaid amount for manufacturing and research activities.

(Unaudited)
agreed to make an additional advance payment of $ 10.0 million to GeneFab, of which $ 6.0 million and $ 4.0 million was paid in December 2024 and January 2025, respectively. In June 2025, the Company made an additional advance payment of $ 2.5 million to GeneFab for additional work as part of the DMSA. These prepayments were recorded in GeneFab prepaid expenses - related party on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2025, $ 2.1 million of these prepayments were remaining to be amortized against future manufacturing and research activities.
GeneFab Economic Share
The Company and GeneFab entered into a seller economic share agreement (the “GeneFab Economic Share”), pursuant to which the Company will be entitled to receive ten percent of the realized gains of GeneFab’s parent company arising and resulting from any cash or in-kind distributions from GeneFab in connection with a dividend or sale event, subject to the terms and conditions of the GeneFab Economic Share. The Company elected to account for the GeneFab Economic Share under the fair value option in ASC 825, Financial Instruments , and the GeneFab Economic Share was recorded as an asset in GeneFab Economic Share - related party on condensed consolidated balance sheet at its fair value of $ 1.8 million on August 7, 2023. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company determined that the fair value of the GeneFab Economic Share was zero . Changes in fair value of the GeneFab Economic Share are reported as a component of other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Refer to Note 10 . Fair Value Measurements .
GeneFab Note Receivable
The total consideration in connection with the transaction was $ 37.8 million, of which $ 18.9 million was received by the Company on August 7, 2023 and such payment was netted against prepayment due to GeneFab for future manufacturing and research activities. The remaining $ 18.9 million was to be paid to the Company in installments in 2024 and 2025 (the “GeneFab Note Receivable”), subject to satisfaction of certain conditions.
The Company elected to account for the GeneFab Note Receivable under the fair value option, and the GeneFab Note Receivable was recorded as an asset in GeneFab receivable - related party on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at its fair value of $ 16.6 million on August 7, 2023. The GeneFab Note Receivable was remeasured each reporting period with changes from remeasurement included in other income (expense) on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
On December 10, 2024, in connection with the private placement described in further detail in Note 6 . Stockholders’ Equity , the Company, GeneFab and Valere entered into an amendment to the GeneFab Framework Agreement, pursuant to which the GeneFab Note Receivable was waived by the parties.
GeneFab Option
GeneFab was granted an option to purchase up to 1,963,344 shares (i.e. up to $ 20.0 million worth) of the Company’s common stock at a per share purchase price of $ 10.18670 (the “GeneFab Option”). The GeneFab Option becomes exercisable upon the execution of the license agreement, no later than August 7, 2026. The GeneFab Option may be exercised in installments of common stock equal to no more than 19.9 % of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock as of August 7, 2023. The purchase of the remaining shares under the GeneFab Option requires approval by the Company’s stockholders. The Company determined that the GeneFab Option was a derivative as the terms of the instrument contain certain provisions that preclude equity classification in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging . As such, the GeneFab Option was recorded as a liability in GeneFab Option - related party on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at its fair value of $ 9.6 million on August 7, 2023. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company determined that the fair value of the GeneFab Option was zero . The GeneFab Option was remeasured each reporting period with changes from remeasurement included in other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Refer to Note 10 . Fair Value Measurements .

(Unaudited)
The Company determined that GeneFab is a variable interest entity since its total equity at risk is not sufficient to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. The Company performed a qualitative analysis to determine if it is the primary beneficiary of GeneFab and determined it does not have the power to direct the significant activities of GeneFab. As a result, the Company determined it is not the primary beneficiary and therefore does not consolidate GeneFab.
GeneFab is a related party and the Company reports transactions with GeneFab under ASC 850. Refer to Note 12 . Related Parties for GeneFab related party considerations.

Note 5. Operating Leases
Lessee Accounting
The Company’s operating leases are for the corporate headquarters located in South San Francisco, California (“HQ lease”) and for additional office and laboratory space located in Alameda, California (“Alameda lease”). The HQ lease has an initial term of eight years expiring in 2027, with an option to renew for an additional eight years unless canceled by either party. The Alameda lease has an initial term of eleven years expiring in 2032, with an option to renew the lease for up to two additional terms of five years . The exercise of these renewal options is not recognized as part of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, as the Company did not conclude, at the commencement date of the leases, that the exercise of renewal options or termination options was reasonably certain.
Lease costs are summarized as follows:

Impairment of Long-lived Assets
As a result of GeneFab being in default under the GeneFab Sublease and not having remitted rent payments in accordance with the contractual terms under the arrangements, the Company identified a triggering event during the three months ended September 30, 2025. Accordingly, the Company performed a recoverability test under ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment , comparing the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group, which includes the right-of-use asset and related leasehold improvements allocable to the subleased spaces, to the carrying amount of those assets. The analysis indicated that the carrying amount was recoverable, and therefore no impairment loss was recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. The Company will continue to monitor GeneFab’s payment status, collectibility of sublease payments, and other relevant factors that could affect the recoverability of the underlying assets in future periods.
In the comparable prior-year period, the Company identified an impairment indicator related to the HQ lease as a result of entering into subleases for a portion of the headquarters premises. The Company compared the estimated undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying amount of the asset group, which included the right-of-use asset and related leasehold improvements allocable to the subleased space, and concluded that the carrying amount was not recoverable. The fair value of the asset group was then determined using a discounted cash-flow model that incorporated the expected net cash flows for the term of the sublease, including estimated residual cash flows, and an estimated borrowing rate of a market-participant subtenant. As a result, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $ 0.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Lessor Accounting
GeneFab Subleases - Related Party ( Note 12 )
On August 7, 2023, the Company entered into a sublease with GeneFab to sublease the facility included in the Alameda lease, expiring in September 2032.

On June 12, 2024, the Company entered into a sublease with GeneFab for a portion of the Company’s HQ lease. Total undiscounted payments to be received by the Company over the term of the HQ lease sublease are approximately $ 1.3 million.
GeneFab is currently in default under the GeneFab Sublease and has not remitted rent payments in accordance with contractual terms under the arrangements. GeneFab has not indicated when it will provide funds to satisfy its obligations. In evaluating the collectibility of future lease payments, the Company considered various factors, including the tenant’s payment history, current payment status, publicly available information about the tenant’s financial condition, and other relevant information. As of September 30, 2025, GeneFab owed the Company $ 4.7 million in past-due sublease rent payments, of which $ 1.0 million was received in October 2025.
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company determined that collectibility of certain rent payments under our related-party sublease with GeneFab were no longer probable in accordance with ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”) and that the Company should recognize sublease income only to the extent of cash received. Any sublease income previously recognized in excess of cash collected was reversed in the period collectibility was determined to be not probable.
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded a $ 3.3 million reversal of previously recognized sublease income in accordance with ASC 842, reducing cumulative sublease income to equal cumulative cash collected. The reversal was recorded against the GeneFab receivable - related party as of September 30, 2025. Following this adjustment, the Company will recognize sublease income on a cash-basis until the full outstanding amount is received and future collectibility again is determined to be probable.
As of both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $ 1.0 million receivable from GeneFab related to the sublease rent payments, which was recorded in GeneFab receivable - related party on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Alameda Lease Default
The Company’s obligations under the Alameda lease are expected to be substantially funded by sublease payments from GeneFab. On September 28, 2025, the Company received a notice of default from the landlord of the Alameda lease stating that, as of September 26, 2025, the Company was in default (the “Default”) for nonpayment of rent in the amount of approximately $ 0.4 million (the “Default Amount”). The Company’s obligations under the Alameda lease are expected to be substantially funded by sublease payments from GeneFab. GeneFab and the Company are currently in discussions with the landlord to cure the Default. As of September 30, 2025, the Alameda lease had not been terminated, and the Company continues to recognize the right-of-use asset and lease liability associated with the Alameda lease.
BKPBIOTECH and JLSA2 Therapeutics Sublease
The Company subleased a portion of the Company’s HQ lease to BKPBIOTECH, Inc. and JLSA2 Therapeutics, Inc. The subleases commenced in October 2024 and will expire on April 30, 2027. Total undiscounted payments to be received by the Company over the term of the HQ lease sublease are approximately $ 1.4 million. The sublease contains customary events of default, representations, warranties and covenants.

GeneFab Economic Share
The fair value of the GeneFab Economic Share is based on significant unobservable inputs. In determining the fair value of the GeneFab Economic Share, the Company used the option pricing method, which allocates total estimated enterprise value to various classes of equity using the Backsolve method. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company determined that the fair value of the GeneFab Economic Share was zero due to the low probability of the events triggering the payment underlying the GeneFab Economic Share. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, there was no change in fair value for the GeneFab Economic Share.
Liability Classified as Level 3
GeneFab Option
The fair value of the GeneFab Option is based on significant unobservable inputs. In determining the fair value of the GeneFab Option, the Company used a Black-Scholes option pricing model. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company determined that the fair value of the GeneFab Option was zero due to the probability that a suitable license agreement, which is a condition of GeneFab obtaining the Option, would not be

signed. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, there was no change in fair value for the GeneFab Option.
Note 11. Income Tax
The Company’s income tax provision was zero for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. While the Company is subject to federal and state income taxes in various jurisdictions, due to cumulative losses the Company’s current income tax liability is zero and deferred tax assets generated from the Company’s net operating losses have been subject to a full valuation allowance, as the Company believes it is not more likely than not that the benefit will be realized due to the Company’s losses generated to date.
On July 4, 2025, the United States government enacted into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”). The OBBBA includes a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting businesses. Based on the Company’s preliminary assessment, the provisions of the OBBBA are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
