Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates. We had cash, cash equivalents, short-term and long-term marketable securities of $1.3 billion as of June 30, 2026, which consisted primarily of U.S. Treasury Securities, Commercial Paper, U.S. Government Bonds, and Corporate Securities.
The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve capital to fund our operations. We also seek to maximize income from our investments without assuming significant risk. To achieve our objectives, we maintain a portfolio of investments in a variety of securities of high credit quality and short and intermediate-term duration, according to our audit committee-approved investment policy. Our investments are subject to interest rate risk and could fall in value if market interest rates increase. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest income volatility, which is sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates; however due to the low risk profiles of our investments, we do not anticipate a significant exposure to interest rate risk on the fair market value of our investments. We believe the effect of a hypothetical 10% change in market interest rates would not have had a material impact on our historical consolidated financial statements for the periods presented.
Foreign Currency Risk
The majority of our transactions occur in U.S. dollars. However, we do have certain transactions that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, and we therefore are subject to foreign exchange risk. The fluctuation in the value of the U.S. dollar against other currencies affects the reported amounts of expenses, assets and liabilities primarily associated with a limited number of clinical and manufacturing activities. Due to the uncertain timing of expected payments in foreign currencies, we do not utilize any forward exchange contracts. All foreign transactions settle on the applicable spot exchange basis at the time such payments or transactions are made. We believe the effect of a hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates applicable to our business would not have had a material impact on our historical consolidated financial statements for the periods presented.
Inflation Risk
Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial position or results of operations to date, we may experience some effect due to an impact on the costs to conduct clinical trials, manufacturing and supply costs, labor costs, and other operational costs. Inflationary costs could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
