Forward Guidance
Werewolf Therapeutics expects to continue incurring substantial and increasing expenses and net losses for the foreseeable future as it advances product candidates through preclinical and clinical development. The company anticipates needing substantial additional funding beyond its current cash and cash equivalents to support future operations and growth strategy.
Positive Outlook
- Expects existing cash and cash equivalents to fund operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least twelve months from the date of issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
- Plans to present interim data from WTX-124 monotherapy and combination expansion arms in the second half of 2025.
- Initiated a Phase 1b/2 clinical trial of WTX-330 in the first quarter of 2025.
- Continues to build its PREDATOR platform to generate a pipeline of innovative therapeutics.
- Expects to nominate its first INDUCER development candidate in the second quarter of 2025.
Challenges Ahead
- Will need substantial additional funding to finance operations and complete development of product candidates beyond the current cash runway.
- Failure to raise capital on acceptable terms could force delays, reductions, or elimination of research and development programs.
- Uncertainty regarding the timing and amount of expenses for successful completion of product candidate development and commercialization.
- Risk of not achieving profitability, or not being able to sustain it, even if products are approved.
- Potential for significant dilution to stockholders if additional capital is raised through equity or convertible debt securities.
