The Company

Company Background

KalVista Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“KalVista” or the “Company”) is a pre-commercial stage pharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of drug therapies for diseases with significant unmet need. The Company has used its capabilities to develop sebetralstat, a novel, orally delivered, small molecule plasma kallikrein inhibitor targeting the disease hereditary angioedema (“HAE”).

The Company has filed a New Drug Application (“NDA”) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) seeking marketing approval of sebetralstat as the first oral, on-demand therapy for HAE, with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (“PDUFA”) notification date of June 17, 2025.

The Company has submitted a Marketing Authorization Application (“MAA”) for sebetralstat to the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”), which currently is being reviewed by the EMA’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (“CHMP”) under the centralized licensing procedure for all 27 Member States of the European Union, as well as the EEA countries Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. The Company also has made MAA submissions to the regulatory authorities in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Australia, and Singapore via the Access Consortium framework for which the Company has obtained a four-way sharing agreement by the Medicines and Healthcare product Regulatory Agency, Swissmedic, the Therapeutic Goods Administration and Health Sciences Authority. The Access Consortium is designed to maximize regulatory collaboration across countries and support a timely review process. In January 2025, the Company announced that it submitted a Japanese New Drug Application for sebetralstat to the Japanese Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency and also that Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has granted sebetralstat Orphan Drug Designation. If approved, sebetralstat would be the first oral on-demand treatment for HAE in each of these territories.

The Company’s headquarters is currently located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with additional offices and research activities located in Porton Down, United Kingdom; Salt Lake City, Utah; Zug, Switzerland; and Tokyo, Japan.

Liquidity

The Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to research and development, including preclinical and clinical trials of sebetralstat. The Company has not completed the development of any product candidates or commenced commercial operations. Pharmaceutical drug product candidates, like those being developed by the Company, require approvals from the FDA or foreign regulatory agencies prior to commercial sales. There can be no assurance that any product candidate will receive the necessary approvals and any failure to receive approval or delay in approval may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business and financial results. The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to companies in the pharmaceutical industry with development and commercial operations, including, without limitation, risks and uncertainties associated with: obtaining regulatory approval of a late-stage product candidate; identifying, acquiring or in-licensing additional products or product candidates; pharmaceutical product development and the inherent uncertainty of clinical success; the challenges of protecting and enhancing intellectual property rights; and complying with applicable regulatory requirements.

In November 2024, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with Jefferies LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., TD Securities (USA) LLC and Stifel Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, as the representatives of several underwriters to sell an aggregate of 5,500,000 shares of common stock at an offering price of $10.00 per share (the “November 2024 Offering”). The net proceeds from the November 2024 Offering, after deducting estimated expenses, were approximately $51.3 million.

Also in November 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with DRI Healthcare Acquisitions LP to sell an aggregate of 500,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $10.00 per share in a private placement. The net proceeds from the private placement, after deducting placement agent fees and other expenses, were approximately $4.7 million.

8


 

To date, the Company has not generated any product sales revenues and does not have any products that have been approved for commercialization. As of January 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $600.9 million and $253.2 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. The Company does not expect to generate significant revenue unless and until it obtains regulatory approval for, and commercializes, one of its current or future product candidates. The Company anticipates that it will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future, and it expects those losses to increase as it continues the development of, and seeks regulatory approvals for, product candidates, and begins to commercialize any approved products. The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to companies in the pharmaceutical industry with development and commercial operations, and it may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors that may adversely affect its business. The Company currently anticipates that, based upon its operating plans and existing capital resources, it has sufficient funding to operate for at least the next twelve months.

The Company may seek to finance future cash needs through equity offerings, debt financing, corporate partnerships and product sales. In the event of failure to obtain regulatory approval for product candidates, the Company will not be able to generate product sales, which will have a material adverse effect on the business and prospects.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Such financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in management’s opinion, necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements. There were no adjustments other than normal recurring adjustments. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending April 30, 2025, or for any other future annual or interim period. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended April 30, 2024 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 11, 2024.

Segment Reporting: The chief operating decision maker, the CEO, manages the Company’s operations as a single operating segment for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Accounting estimates and management judgments reflected in the condensed financial statements include: the accrual of research and development expenses, stock-based compensation, operating lease liabilities, interest expense on our deferred royalty obligation, and assumptions used to value the embedded derivative in our deferred royalty obligation. Although these estimates are based on the Company’s knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, actual results may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, which requires public business entities to disclose, on an annual and interim basis, disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items. The required information includes purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization and depletion. The standard will be effective for the Company beginning with annual financial statements for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2028. The Company has not yet determined the impact of adopting this guidance on its financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disclosure of disaggregated income taxes paid, prescribes standard categories for the components of the effective tax rate reconciliation, and modifies other income tax-related disclosures. ASU No. 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and allows for adoption on a prospective basis, with a retrospective option. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the amendments in this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

9


 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which provides updates to qualitative and quantitative reportable segment disclosure requirements, including enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and increased interim disclosure requirements, among others. ASU 2023-07 will be effective for the Company beginning with annual financial statements for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2025 and for interim periods starting in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. The Company does not expect the amendments in this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Net Loss per Share: Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares and the number of potential dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Potential dilutive common share equivalents consist of outstanding options, unvested restricted stock units, unvested performance stock units, and shares committed to be purchased under the employee stock purchase plan.

Potential dilutive common share equivalents consist of:

 

 

January 31,

 

 

 

2025

 

 

2024

 

Stock options and awards

 

 

5,825,195

 

 

 

6,229,313

 

In computing diluted earnings per share, common share equivalents are not considered in periods in which a net loss is reported, as the inclusion of the common share equivalents would be anti-dilutive. As a result, there is no difference between the Company’s basic and diluted loss per share for the periods presented.

The weighted average number of common shares used in the basic and diluted net loss per common share calculations includes the weighted-average pre-funded warrants outstanding during the period as they are exercisable at any time for nominal cash consideration.

Restricted Cash: Restricted cash consists of deposits held at financial institutions that are used to collateralize irrevocable letters of credit required under the Company’s lease agreements. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as reported on the consolidated balance sheets to the total of these amounts as reported at the end of the period in the consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands):

Deferred Royalty Obligation: The Company treats the debt obligation to DRI Healthcare Acquisitions LP, an affiliate of DRI Healthcare Trust (“DRI”) discussed further in Note 8, “Purchase and Sale Agreement”, as a deferred royalty obligation, amortized using the effective interest rate method over the estimated life of the revenue stream. The Company periodically assesses its expected revenues using internal projections, imputes interest on the carrying value of the deferred royalty obligation, and records interest expense using the imputed effective interest rate. To the extent its estimates of future revenues are greater or less than previous estimates or the estimated timing of such payments is materially different than previous estimates, the Company will account for any such changes by adjusting the effective interest rate on a prospective basis. The assumptions used in determining the expected repayment term of the deferred royalty obligation and amortization period of the issuance costs require that the Company makes estimates that could impact the classification of such costs, as well as the period over which such costs will be amortized.

Embedded Derivative Liability: The Company evaluates all its financial instruments to determine if such instruments contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives per ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The Purchase and Sale agreement (“PSA”) with DRI contains certain features that meet the definition of an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation as a separate compound financial instrument (the “Derivative Liability”). The Derivative Liability was recorded at fair value upon entering into the PSA and is subsequently remeasured to fair value at each reporting period with the corresponding change in fair value recognized in Other Income (Expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The PSA was initially valued and is remeasured using Monte Carlo simulation models to perform the “with-and-without” method, which involves valuing the PSA with the embedded derivative and then valuing it without the embedded derivative. The Monte Carlo simulation model requires the use of Level 3 unobservable inputs, primarily the amount and timing of expected future revenue, the estimated volatility of these revenues, the discount rate corresponding to the risk of revenue, and the probability of a change in control. The difference between values is determined to be the estimated fair value of the derivative liability. Bifurcated embedded derivatives are classified with the related host contract in the Company’s balance sheet. Refer to Note 3, “Fair Value Measurements” for details regarding the fair value.

10


 

Fair Value Measurement: The Company classifies fair value measurements using a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1, such as quoted market prices for markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

The Company’s cash equivalents, marketable securities, and derivative liability as of January 31, 2025 were carried at fair value, determined according to the fair value hierarchy. See Note 3, “Fair Value Measurements” for further discussion.

The objectives of the Company’s investment policy are to ensure the safety and preservation of invested funds, as well as to maintain liquidity sufficient to meet cash flow requirements. The Company invests its excess cash in securities issued by financial institutions, commercial companies, and government agencies that management believes to be of high credit quality in order to limit the amount of its credit exposure. The Company has not realized any material losses from its investments.

The Company classifies all of its debt securities as available-for-sale. Unrealized gains and losses on investments are recognized in accumulated comprehensive loss, unless an unrealized loss is considered to be other than temporary, in which case the unrealized loss is charged to operations. The Company periodically reviews its investments for other than temporary declines in fair value below cost basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company believes the individual unrealized losses represent temporary declines primarily resulting from interest rate changes. Realized gains and losses are included in other income in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and are determined using the specific identification method with transactions recorded on a trade date basis.

The estimated fair value of the derivative liability as of January 31, 2025 relates to the PSA and was determined using Level 3 inputs. The fair value measurement of the derivative liability is sensitive to changes in the unobservable inputs used to value the financial instrument. Changes in the inputs could result in changes to the fair value of each financial instrument.

The embedded derivative liability associated with the deferred royalty obligation, as discussed further in Note 8, “Purchase and Sale Agreement,” is measured at fair value using an option pricing Monte Carlo simulation model and is included as a component of the deferred royalty obligation on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The embedded derivative liability is subject to remeasurement at the end of each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized as a component of other income (expense), net. The assumptions used in the option pricing Monte Carlo simulation model incorporates certain Level 3 inputs including: (1) estimates of the probability and timing of related events; (2) the probability-weighted global net sales of sebetralstat, including milestones and royalties; (3) the risk-adjusted discount rate; (4) the estimated volatility of expected future revenues; and (5) the probability of a change in control occurring during the term of the instrument.

The Company recorded $4.4 million for the initial fair value of the derivative liability upon the closing of the PSA. The initial fair value allocated to the derivative liability was recorded against the deferred royalty obligation as a debt discount, which is being amortized in interest expense on the condensed consolidated statement of operations over the expected term using the effective interest method. The embedded derivative is subsequently remeasured at fair value each reporting period, with the change in fair value being recorded as a component of other income (expense) on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. During the period from November 4, 2024 through January 31, 2025, the Company recognized $0.2 million as a component of other income (expense), net as the change in fair value for the embedded derivative liability as of January 31, 2025. Refer to Note 8, “Purchase and Sale Agreement for details regarding the valuation methodology related to the embedded derivative and its related inputs.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

Clinical Studies: The Company enters into contractual agreements with contract research organizations in connection with preclinical and toxicology studies and clinical trials. Amounts due under these agreements are invoiced to the Company on predetermined schedules during the course of the studies and clinical trials and are not refundable regardless of the outcome. The Company has contractual obligations related to the expected future costs to be incurred to complete the ongoing preclinical studies and clinical trials. The remaining clinical commitments, which have cancellation provisions, totals $21.9 million at January 31, 2025.

Indemnification: In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide for general indemnification. The Company’s exposure under these agreements is unknown because it involves future claims that may be made against the Company but have not yet been made. To date, the Company has not paid any claims or been required to defend any action related to its indemnification obligations. However, the Company may record charges in the future as a result of these indemnification obligations. No amounts associated with such indemnifications have been recorded to date.

Contingencies: From time to time, the Company may have certain contingent liabilities that arise in the ordinary course of business activities. The Company accrues a liability for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. There were no contingent liabilities requiring accrual at January 31, 2025.

7. Leases

The Company has a lease agreement for approximately 8,300 square feet of space for its headquarters located in Cambridge, Massachusetts that runs through September 2028.

In July 2024, the Company signed a new headquarters lease for approximately 32,110 square feet in Framingham, Massachusetts that is expected to commence in the first half of 2025 and has an expected initial lease term of approximately 10 years. Prior to lease commencement of its new headquarters, the Company is occupying a temporary space in the same building. The Company intends to sublease its office in Cambridge, Massachusetts for occupancy once the Company has moved into its new headquarters space.

8. Purchase and Sale Agreement

Royalty Liability

On November 4, 2024, the Company, as guarantor, and KalVista Pharmaceuticals Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Subsidiary”), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “PSA”) with DRI Healthcare Acquisitions LP, an affiliate of DRI Healthcare Trust (“DRI”), for up to $179 million. Under the terms of the synthetic royalty financing agreement, the Subsidiary received an upfront payment of $100.0 million in exchange for tiered royalty payments on worldwide net sales of sebetralstat, as follows: 5.00% on annual net sales up to and including $500.0 million (the “First Tier Royalty Rate”); 1.10% on annual net sales above $500.0 million and up to and including $750.0 million; and 0.25% on annual net sales above $750.0 million.

Beginning in calendar year 2031, the First Tier Royalty Rate for any calendar year will be determined based on annual net sales of sebetralstat for the prior calendar year: 5.00% if the prior year’s annual net sales are at or above $500.0 million or 5.65% if the prior year’s annual net sales are below $500.0 million. Additionally, if sebetralstat achieves annual net sales of at least $550.0 million in any calendar year ending before January 1, 2031, the Subsidiary will earn a sales-based milestone payment of $50.0 million.

If sebetralstat is approved prior to October 1, 2025, the Subsidiary will have the option to receive a one-time cash payment of $22.0 million. If the Subsidiary chooses to receive this optional payment, the royalty rate on net sales up to and including $500.0 million will increase from 5.00% to 6.00%, and the sales-based milestone amount will increase from $50.0 million to $57.0 million.

On receipt of the $100.0 million payment from DRI, the Company recorded a deferred royalty obligation of $93.6 million, net of the initial fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative liability upon execution of the PSA, and debt issuance costs incurred.

14


 

The PSA is considered a sale of future revenues and is accounted for as long-term debt recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is calculated based on the rate that would enable the debt to be repaid in full over the anticipated life of the arrangement. During the three and nine months ended January 31, 2025, the Company recorded $2.8 million of interest expense related to this arrangement on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The interest rate on this liability may vary during the term of the agreement depending on a number of factors, including the level of forecasted net sales. The company evaluates the interest rate quarterly based on its current net sales forecasts utilizing the prospective method. A significant increase or decrease in actual or forecasted net sales may materially impact the revenue interest liability, interest expense, other income, and the time period for repayment. The deferred royalty obligation, net of the bifurcated embedded derivative liability had a net carrying amount of $96.5 million as of January 31, 2025.

The PSA is denominated in US Dollars and was executed with the Company’s wholly owned U.K. Subsidiary, whose functional currency is the British Pound. As such, the Company will remeasure the liability each reporting period at current exchange rates and recognize unrealized gains and loss in other income (expense).

Embedded Derivative Liability

Under the PSA, the Subsidiary has the option (the “Buy-Back Option”) to repurchase future Revenue Participation Rights at any time until December 31, 2026 either (i) in the event of a change of control of the Subsidiary or (ii) in the event that confirmation that payment of the Revenue Participation Rights will not receive certain tax treatment has not been obtained. Additionally, the Purchaser has an option (the “Put Option”) to require the Subsidiary to repurchase future Revenue Participation Rights in the event of a change of control of the Subsidiary exercisable until December 31, 2026. If the Put Option or the Buy-Back Option is exercised terminating the PSA, the required repurchase price is an amount equal to (a) 1.5 multiplied by (b) the Investment Amount, net of the sum of any payments received by the Purchaser prior to such Put Option or Buy-Back Option repurchase date, as applicable.

 

The Buy-Back and Put Options are considered embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation as a single compound derivative instrument. The Company estimated the fair value of the derivative liability using a “with-and-without” method. The with-and-without methodology involves valuing the whole instrument on an as-is basis and then valuing the instrument without the individual embedded derivative. The difference between the entire instrument with the embedded derivative compared to the instrument without the embedded derivative is the fair value of the derivative liability.

The Company recorded $4.4 million for the initial fair value of the derivative liability upon the closing of the PSA. The initial fair value allocated to the derivative liability was recorded against the deferred royalty obligation as a debt discount, which is being amortized in interest expense on the condensed consolidated statement of operations over the expected term using the effective interest method. The embedded derivative is subsequently remeasured at fair value each reporting period, with the change in fair value being recorded as a component of other income (expense) on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. During the period from November 4, 2024 through January 31, 2025, the Company recognized $0.2 million as a component of other income (expense), net as the change in fair value for the embedded derivative liability as of January 31, 2025. This change in fair value consists of foreign currency remeasurement due to the PSA being denominated in US Dollars and executed with the Company’s wholly owned U.K. Subsidiary, whose functional currency is the British Pound. Bifurcated embedded derivatives are classified with the related host contract in the Company’s balance sheet. Of the $100.9 million deferred royalty obligation as of January 31, 2025, the embedded derivative had a fair value of $4.4 million.

The estimated probability and timing of underlying events triggering the exercisability of the Buy-Back and Put Options contained in the PSA, forecasted cash flows and the discount rate are significant unobservable inputs used to determine the estimated fair value of the entire instrument with the embedded derivative. As of January 31, 2025, the discount rate used for valuation of the derivative liability was 9.15%.

9. Income Taxes

As a result of the PSA between the Company, as guarantor, the Subsidiary, and DRI, the $100.0 million up-front payment was treated as income for tax purposes in the UK under the Research and Development Expenditure Credit scheme. After applying the estimated net operating loss carryforwards and research and development tax credits, the Company recorded income tax expense of $4.1 million for the three months ended January 31, 2025 due to an increase in the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. The $7.5 million R&D tax credit receivable balance on the consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2025 is the amount due to the Company from R&D claims payable to the company from the prior fiscal year plus current year additions, net of the current year payable.

The Company has also recorded income tax expense of $0.1 million for US federal income tax purposes due to the recognition of Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income from the royalty arrangement.

Management Overview

We are a pre-commercial stage pharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of drug therapies for diseases with significant unmet need. We have used our capabilities to develop sebetralstat, a novel, orally delivered, small molecule plasma kallikrein inhibitor targeting the disease hereditary angioedema (“HAE”).

HAE is a rare and potentially life-threatening, genetically driven disease that features episodes of debilitating and often painful swelling in the skin, gastrointestinal tract or airways. Although multiple therapies have been approved for the disease, we believe people living with HAE are in need of alternatives that better meet their objectives for quality of life and ease of disease control. Other than one oral therapy approved for prophylaxis, currently marketed therapies are all administered by injection, which patients find challenging despite their efficacy because they are painful, time consuming to prepare and administer, and difficult to transfer and store. As a result, many attacks are treated too late to prevent significant symptoms, and a large percentage are not treated at all, leading to needless suffering. We anticipate that there will be strong interest in a safe and effective, orally delivered on-demand treatment, which would provide patients a new and compelling option with which to treat their disease.

We have filed a New Drug Application (“NDA”) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) seeking marketing approval of sebetralstat as the first oral, on-demand HAE therapy for adults as well as adolescents ages 12 and above, and have a PDUFA notification date of June 17, 2025. We believe the adolescent population has a particularly high unmet need, as patients in this age group frequently experience attacks yet currently only have approved access to injectable on-demand therapies, which causes them to have particularly long delays in treatment of attacks.

We have submitted a Marketing Authorization Application (“MAA”) for sebetralstat to the European Medicines Agency (“EMA), which currently is being reviewed by the EMA’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (“CHMP”) under the centralized licensing procedure for all 27 Member States of the European Union, as well as the EEA countries Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. We also have made MAA submissions to the regulatory authorities in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Australia, and Singapore via the Access Consortium framework for which we have obtained a four-way sharing agreement by the Medicines and Healthcare product Regulatory Agency, Swissmedic, the Therapeutic Goods Administration and Health Sciences Authority. The Access Consortium is designed to maximize regulatory collaboration across countries and support a timely review process. In January 2025, we announced that we submitted a Japanese New Drug Application for sebetralstat to the Japanese Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency, and also that the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has granted sebetralstat Orphan Drug Designation. If approved, sebetralstat would be the first oral on-demand treatment for HAE in all of these territories.

In June 2024, we initiated a pediatric clinical trial (KONFIDENT-KID), using an orally disintegrating tablet (“ODT”) formulation of sebetralstat developed specifically for pediatric use. We intend to submit a supplemental NDA (“sNDA”) filing seeking marketing authorization of sebetralstat for pediatric use in 2026. If approved, sebetralstat ODT would be the first oral therapy for pediatric patients

16


 

aged 2 to 11 years old. In the fourth quarter of 2024, we began conversion of adolescent and adult participants in the ongoing KONFIDENT-S open label extension trial to an ODT formulation, enabling a potential 2025 supplemental NDA (“sNDA”) filing with the FDA for adolescent and adult usage of this formulation. If approved, the ODT formulation would provide people living with HAE with an additional novel option for oral on-demand treatment.

Sebetralstat has received Fast Track and Orphan Drug designations from the FDA, as well as Orphan Drug Designation and an approved Pediatric Investigational Plan from the EMA and Orphan Drug Status in Switzerland. The U.K. Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) awarded the Innovation Passport for sebetralstat.

We believe our preclinical oral Factor XIIa inhibitor program has the potential to be the first orally delivered Factor XIIa inhibitor for indications across a wide variety of therapeutic areas. We are undertaking a strategic review of this program, to evaluate the potential for further progress and indications for future development, and we intend to make further decisions on this program following completion of this process.

In November 2024, we, as guarantor, and KalVista Pharmaceuticals Limited, our wholly owned subsidiary (the “Subsidiary), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement the (“PSA”) with DRI Healthcare Acquisitions LP (the “Purchaser”), an affiliate of DRI Healthcare Trust, pursuant to which the Subsidiary sold to the Purchaser the right to receive payments from the Subsidiary at a tiered percentage of future worldwide net sales of sebetralstat.

Under the terms of the PSA, the Subsidiary received an upfront payment of $100.0 million in exchange for tiered payments on worldwide net sales of sebetralstat, as follows: 5.00% on annual net sales up to and including $500.0 million; 1.10% on annual net sales above $500.0 million and up to and including $750.0 million; and 0.25% on annual net sales above $750.0 million. The Subsidiary is entitled to a potential one-time sales-based milestone payment of $50.0 million if annual global net sales of sebetralstat meet or exceed $550.0 million in any calendar year before January 1, 2031.

If sebetralstat is approved prior to October 1, 2025, the Subsidiary will have the option to receive a one-time payment of $22.0 million. If the Subsidiary chooses to receive this optional payment, the royalty rate on net sales up to and including $500 million will increase from 5.00% to 6.00%, and the sales-based milestone amount will increase from $50.0 million to $57.0 million.

Also in November 2024, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Jefferies LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., TD Securities (USA) LLC, and Stifel, Nicholas & Company Incorporated (the “Underwriters”) pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell an aggregate of 5,500,000 shares of our common stock, to the Underwriters at an offering price of $10.00 per share (the “Offering”). The net proceeds from the Offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and Offering expenses, were approximately $51.3 million.

Further in November 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with the Purchaser pursuant to which we agreed to sell and issue to the Purchaser an aggregate of 500,000 shares of our common stock, at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The net proceeds from the private placement, after deducting placement agent fees and other expenses, were approximately $4.7 million.

Financial Overview

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses primarily consist of costs associated with our research activities, including the preclinical and clinical development of product candidates. We contract with clinical research organizations to manage our clinical trials under agreed upon budgets for each study, with oversight by our clinical program managers. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Costs for certain research and development activities, such as manufacturing development activities and clinical studies are recognized based on the contracted amounts, as adjusted for the percentage of work completed to date. Payments for these activities are based on the terms of the contractual arrangements, which may differ from the pattern of costs incurred, and are reflected on the consolidated balance sheets as prepaid or accrued expenses. We defer and capitalize non-refundable advance payments made for research and development activities until the related goods are delivered or the related services are performed.

We expect to continue to spend a significant amount of our resources on research and development activities for the foreseeable future as we continue to conduct clinical development, manufacturing, and toxicology studies. Product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials, additional drug manufacturing requirements, and later stage toxicology studies

17


 

such as carcinogenicity studies. The process of conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time consuming. The probability of success for each product candidate is affected by numerous factors, including preclinical data, clinical data, competition, manufacturing capability and commercial viability. Accordingly, we may never succeed in achieving marketing approval for any of our product candidates.

Completion dates and costs for clinical development programs as well as our research program can vary significantly for each current and future product candidate and are difficult to predict. As a result, we cannot currently estimate with any degree of certainty the costs associated with development of our product candidates. We anticipate making determinations as to which programs and product candidates to pursue and how much funding to direct to each program and product candidate on an ongoing basis in response to the scientific success of early research programs, results of ongoing and future clinical trials, our ability to enter into collaborative agreements with respect to programs or potential product candidates, as well as ongoing assessments as to the commercial potential of each current or future product candidate.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits and equity-based compensation expenses for personnel in executive, finance, legal, medical affairs, information technology, human resources, investor relations, and commercial functions. Other significant general and administrative expenses include facility costs not otherwise included in research and development expenses, legal fees relating to patent and corporate matters and fees for accounting, consulting services, and corporate expenses. We expect general and administrative expense to increase as we continue to invest in building the infrastructure to support the commercialization of sebetralstat.

Other Income

Other income consists of interest income earned on bank interest and marketable securities, research and development tax credits from the United Kingdom government’s tax incentive programs set up to encourage research and development in the United Kingdom, realized gains and losses from marketable securities and realized and unrealized exchange rate gains and losses on cash held in foreign currencies and transactions settled in foreign currencies.

Deferred Royalty Obligation

We treat the liability related to the sale of future royalties as a debt instrument, amortized under the effective interest rate method over the estimated life of the revenue stream. We recognize interest expense thereon using the effective rate, which is based on our current estimates of future revenues over the life of the arrangement. We periodically assess our expected revenues using internal projections, impute interest on the carrying value of the deferred royalty obligation, and record interest expense using the imputed effective interest rate. To the extent our estimates of future revenues are greater or less than previous estimates or the estimated timing of such payments is materially different than previous estimates, we will account for any such changes by adjusting the effective interest rate on a prospective basis, with a corresponding impact to the reclassification of the deferred royalty obligation. The assumptions used in determining the expected repayment term of the deferred royalty obligation and amortization period of the issuance costs requires that we make estimates that could impact the classification of such costs, as well as the period over which such costs will be amortized.

Income Taxes

We historically have incurred net losses and have had no corporation tax liabilities. We file U.S. Federal tax returns, as well as certain state returns. We also file returns in the United Kingdom. Under the U.K. government’s research and development tax incentive scheme, we have incurred qualifying research and development expenses and filed claims for research and development tax credits in accordance with the relevant tax legislation. The research and development tax credits are paid out to us in cash and reported as other income. As a result of the November 2024 PSA, the $100.0 million up-front payment was treated as income for tax purposes in the UK under the Research and Development Expenditure Credit scheme. After applying the estimated net operating loss carryforwards and research and development tax credits, we recorded income tax expense of $4.1 million for the three months ended January 31, 2025 due to an increase in the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. We also recorded income tax expense of $0.1 million for US federal income tax purposes due to the recognition of Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income from the royalty arrangement. Because of the operating losses and the full valuation allowance provided on all deferred tax assets, including the net operating losses, no tax provision had been recognized in the three and nine months ended January 31, 2024.

For tax purposes, pursuant to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, we are required to capitalize and subsequently amortize all R&D expenditures over five years for research activities conducted in the U.S. and over fifteen years for research activities conducted outside of the U.S. We adopted ASU 2019-12 as of January 1, 2022.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses decreased $9.9 million to $12.6 million for the three months ended January 31, 2025 compared to $22.5 million in the same period in the prior fiscal year due to decreases in spending on sebetralstat of $6.9 million, personnel costs of $1.0 million, and other R&D activities of $2.0 million. The impact of exchange rates on research and development expenses was immaterial for the three months ended January 31, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, which is reflected in the figures above.

Research and development expenses by major programs or categories were as follows (in thousands):

Expenses for the sebetralstat program decreased primarily due to the Phase 3 KONFIDENT trial completing in February 2024. We anticipate that these expenses will remain approximately at current levels as both the KONFIDENT-S and KONFIDENT-KID trials are ongoing and continue to enroll participants.

Personnel expenses will remain at or slightly below current levels as we prioritize commercial launch efforts.

Other costs decreased primarily due to decreased spending on preclinical activities and a transition to recognizing expense associated with sebetralstat pre-commercial awareness within General & Administrative. We anticipate Other Costs to remain at current levels as we continue development of the oral Factor XIIa inhibitor program and other preclinical activities.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by $19.7 million primarily due to increases in personnel costs of $8.6 million, commercial expenses of $5.7 million, sebetralstat awareness of $1.9 million, professional fees of $1.9 million, and other administrative expenses of $1.6 million. We anticipate that expenses will continue at or above current levels as we continue to expand to support the growth of the Company and the planned commercialization of sebetralstat.

Other Income (Expense), net. Other income decreased $5.4 million primarily due to an increase in net interest expense of $2.1 million, a decrease in foreign currency exchange rate gains of $2.1 million, and a decrease of $1.1 million in income from research and development tax credits.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses decreased $5.1 million to $55.8 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2025 due to a decrease in spending on sebetralstat of $3.9 million, a decrease in spending on KVD824 of $0.8 million, and a decrease in other R&D activities of $1.7 million as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. These decreases were offset by an increase in personnel costs of $1.3 million. The impact of exchange rates on research and development expenses resulted in an increase to expenses of $0.7 million in the nine months ended January 31, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, which is reflected in the figures above.

Expenses for the sebetralstat program decreased primarily due to the Phase 3 KONFIDENT trial completing in February 2024.

Expenses for KVD824 decreased primarily due to the termination of the Phase 2 KOMPLETE clinical trial in October 2022. These expenses have ceased as we do not anticipate any further development of KVD824.

Personnel expenses increased primarily due to higher research and development headcounts compared to the same period in the prior year.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $46.1 million primarily due to increases in personnel costs of $18.1 million, commercial strategy expenses of $16.4 million, sebetralstat awareness of $4.5 million, professional fees of $3.2 million and other administrative expenses of $3.8 million.

Other Income (Expense), net. Other income decreased $4.0 million primarily due to an increase in net interest expense of $0.8 million, a decrease in foreign currency exchange rate gains of $0.7 million, and a decrease of $2.5 million in income from research and development tax credits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, we have not generated any revenue from product sales and have incurred losses since inception and cash outflows from operating activities for the nine months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024. We have funded operations primarily through the issuance of capital stock, pre-funded warrants, and royalty financing. Our working capital, primarily cash and marketable securities, is anticipated to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months from the date these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

In February 2024, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Jefferies LLC, Leerink Partners LLC, Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., as the representatives of several underwriters to sell an aggregate of 7,016,312 shares of our common stock at a price of $15.25 per share and pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 3,483,688 shares of our common stock at a price of $15.249 per pre-funded warrant (the “February 2024 Offering”). The net proceeds from the February 2024 Offering, after deducting expenses, were approximately $150.1 million. As of January 31, 2025, no pre-funded warrants from the February 2024 Offering have been exercised.

In July 2024, we filed the Registration Statement pursuant to which we may offer and sell securities having an aggregate public offering price of up to $300 million. During the three months ended January 31, 2025, we did not offer or sell any shares pursuant to the Registration Statement.

In November 2024, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Jefferies LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., TD Securities (USA) LLC and Stifel Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, as the representatives of several underwriters to sell an aggregate of 5,500,000 shares of our common stock at an offering price of $10.00 per share (the “November 2024 Offering”). The net proceeds from the November 2024 Offering, after deducting estimated expenses, were approximately $51.3 million.

Also in November 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with DRI Healthcare Acquisitions LP to sell an aggregate of 500,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $10.00 per share in a private placement. The net proceeds from the private placement, after deducting placement agent fees and other expenses, were approximately $4.7 million.

Finally, in November 2024 we entered into a royalty purchase agreement with DRI Healthcare Acquisitions LP, an affiliate of DRI Healthcare Trust Royalty Pharma to monetize a portion of our future sebetralstat worldwide net sales. Under the terms of the agreement, we received an upfront payment of $100.0 million in exchange for tiered royalty payments on worldwide net sales of sebetralstat.

Net cash used in operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $112.5 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2025 and primarily consisted of a net loss of $131.2 million adjusted for stock-based compensation of $8.7 million, interest expense and issuance cost amortization associated with the sale of future royalties of $2.9 million, realized gains from available for sale securities of $1.2 million, and other changes in net working capital. Net cash used in operating activities was $74.1 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2024 and primarily consisted of a net loss of $82.0 million adjusted for stock-based compensation of $9.2 million, an increase in the research and development tax credit receivable of $6.2 million, realized gains from available for sale securities of $1.1 million, a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets of $0.9 million and other changes in net working capital.

Net cash provided by investing activities

Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended January 31, 2025 was $94.4 million and primarily consisted of the sales and maturities of marketable securities of $102.3 million offset by purchases of marketable securities of $7.5 million, as compared to $41.5 million provided by investing activities during the same period in the prior year primarily due to sales and maturities of marketable securities of $89.5 million offset by purchases of marketable securities of $47.7 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended January 31, 2025 was $155.1 million and primarily consisted of $98.0 million in net proceeds from the PSA with DRI, $55.9 million in aggregate net proceeds from the November 2024

Offering and private placement, and $4.0 million from the issuance of common stock from equity incentive plans. Net cash provided by financing activities during the same period in the prior year was $0.6 million which consisted of the issuance of common stock from equity incentive plans.

Operating Capital Requirements

To date, we have not generated any revenues from the sale of products, and we do not have any products that have been approved for commercialization. We do not expect to generate product revenue unless and until we obtain regulatory approval for, and commercialize, one of our current or future product candidates. We anticipate that we will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future, and we expect the losses to increase as we continue the development of, and seek regulatory approvals for, product candidates, and begin to commercialize any approved products. We are subject to all of the risks inherent in the development of new therapeutic products, and we may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors that may adversely affect our business. We currently anticipate that, based upon our operating plans and existing capital resources, we have sufficient funding to operate for at least the next twelve months. The amount and timing of our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including the pace and results of our preclinical and clinical development efforts, future growth to support commercial sales of any approved products, and other activities we may choose to undertake.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial revenues, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity and debt financings, collaborations, strategic partnerships, royalty financings, and licensing arrangements. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of stock or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these newly issued securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of common stockholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include increased fixed payment obligations and covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures, declaring dividends, selling or licensing intellectual property rights and other operating restrictions that could adversely impact our ability to conduct business. Additional fundraising through collaborations, strategic partnerships or licensing arrangements with third parties may require us to relinquish valuable rights to product candidates, including our other technologies, future revenue streams or research programs, or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and commercialize other product candidates even if we would otherwise prefer to develop and commercialize such product candidates internally.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

We enter into contracts in the normal course of business with contract research organizations and clinical trial sites for the conduct of clinical trials, preclinical and clinical studies, professional consultants and other vendors for clinical supply manufacturing or other services. These contracts generally provide for termination on notice, and therefore are cancelable contracts and not included in the table of contractual obligations and commitments in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024, filed with the SEC on July 11, 2024. We are party to several operating leases for office and laboratory space as of January 31, 2025.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements and the reported revenue and expenses during the reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events, contractual milestones and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. See Note 2 to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of our significant accounting policies and assumptions used in applying those policies. The accounting policies and estimates that we deem to be critical are discussed in more detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024, filed with the SEC on July 11, 2024. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and significant estimates in the nine months ended January 31, 2025 except for the deferred royalty obligation and its embedded derivative liability, as discussed in Note 2.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of January 31, 2025. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance of achieving the desired objectives. Also, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of January 31, 2025.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended January 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the risk factors described in the section captioned “Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024.

The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or operating results.
