Forward Guidance

Precision expects that existing cash and cash equivalents, upfront and potential near-term cash from CAR T transactions, along with expected operational receipts, continued fiscal and operating discipline, and availability of Precision’s at-the-market (ATM) facility are expected to extend Precision’s cash runway into the second half of 2026. Based on its expected cash runway, Precision believes it is sufficiently capitalized to propel two wholly owned programs through Phase 1 data readouts in 2025 and 2026.

Positive Outlook

  • Cash runway extends into the second half of 2026.
  • Sufficient capital to propel two wholly owned programs through Phase 1 data readouts in 2025 and 2026.
  • Existing cash and cash equivalents.
  • Upfront and potential near-term cash from CAR T transactions.
  • Expected operational receipts, continued fiscal and operating discipline, and availability of Precision’s at-the-market (ATM) facility.
