Nature of business	1. Nature of business Voyager Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) is a biotechnology company whose mission is to leverage the power of human genetics to modify the course of and ultimately cure neurological diseases. The Company’s pipeline includes programs for Alzheimer’s disease; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; Parkinson’s disease, and multiple other diseases of the central nervous system. Many of the Company’s programs are derived from its TRACER™ adeno-associated virus (“AAV”) capsid discovery platform, which the Company has used to generate novel capsids (“TRACER Capsids”) and identify associated receptors to potentially enable high brain penetration with genetic medicines following intravenous dosing. Some of the Company’s programs are wholly-owned, and some are advancing with licensees and collaborators including Alexion, AstraZeneca Rare Disease; Novartis Pharma AG, (“Novartis”); and Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. (“Neurocrine”). The Company has a history of incurring annual net operating losses. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $272.5 million. The Company has not generated any product revenue and has financed its operations primarily through public offerings and private placements of its equity securities, funding from fees, option exercise payments, and milestone payments, and cost reimbursements associated with its prior and ongoing collaborations and license agreements. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $400.5 million. Based upon the Company’s current operating plans, the Company expects that its existing cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities at March 31, 2024 to be sufficient to meet the Company’s planned operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least twelve months from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on terms acceptable to the Company or generate product revenue or revenue from collaboration partners, on a timely basis or at all. The failure of the Company to obtain sufficient funds on acceptable terms when needed could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.
