CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, which reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, our operations and financial performance. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including statements regarding our strategy, future operations, future financial position, future revenue, projected costs, prospects, plans, objectives of management and expected market growth, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “outlook,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would,” and the negative version of these words and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. We believe these factors include but are not limited to those described in the “Risk Factors” section in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and include, among other things:
We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. We have included important factors in the cautionary statements included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, particularly in the “Risk Factors” section, that we believe could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements that we make. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, collaborations, joint ventures or investments we may make or enter into.
i
You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents that we have filed as exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and we do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

Inozyme Pharma, Inc. (the “Company”) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics for rare diseases impacting bone health and blood vessel function.
Through the Company’s in-depth understanding of a key biological pathway, the PPi-Adenosine Pathway, the Company is pursuing the development of therapeutics that address pathologic mineralization and intimal proliferation, or smooth muscle cell overgrowth that leads to narrowing and the obstruction of blood vessels, to improve the underlying causes of these debilitating diseases. The ENPP1 enzyme is central to this pathway and generates plasma pyrophosphate ("PPi") and adenosine. It is well established that low levels of plasma pyrophosphate drive pathologic mineralization and low levels of adenosine drive intimal proliferation in a number of rare diseases. Disruptions in this pathway impact the levels of these molecules, leading to severe musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and neurological conditions, including ENPP1 Deficiency, ABCC6 Deficiency, calciphylaxis, and ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament ("OPLL"). The Company is initially focused on developing a novel therapy for diseases characterized by pathologic mineralization and intimal proliferation, including ENPP1 Deficiency and ABCC6 Deficiency as well as calciphylaxis.
The Company’s lead product candidate, INZ-701, is a soluble, recombinant, or genetically engineered, ENPP1 fusion protein that is designed to increase PPi and adenosine, enabling the potential treatment of multiple diseases caused by deficiencies in these molecules. By targeting the PPi-Adenosine Pathway, INZ-701 aims to correct pathologic mineralization and intimal proliferation, addressing the significant morbidity and mortality in these devastating diseases.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for audited year-end financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim period results. The results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024, any other interim periods, or any future year or period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern
Since the Company’s incorporation in 2017 and through June 30, 2024, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to raising capital, building infrastructure, developing intellectual property, and conducting research and development activities. The Company incurred net losses of $
The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and has primarily funded its operations with proceeds from the issuance of convertible preferred stock, offerings of common stock and pre-funded warrants, and its loan and security agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with K2 HealthVentures LLC (see Note 8). The Company expects its operating losses and negative operating cash flows to continue into the foreseeable future as it continues to expand its research and development efforts.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of continuity of operations, realization of assets, and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes its available cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments as of June 30, 2024 will be sufficient to fund its cash flow requirements for at least 12 months from the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Management’s expectations with respect to its ability to fund current and long-term planned operations are based on estimates that are subject to risks and uncertainties. If actual results are different from management’s estimates, the Company may need to seek additional strategic or financing opportunities sooner than would otherwise be expected. However, there is no guarantee that any of these strategic or financing opportunities will be executed on favorable terms, or at all, and some could be dilutive to existing stockholders. If the Company is
5
unable to obtain additional funding on a timely basis, it may be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate some or all of its research and development programs, portfolio expansion, or commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect its business prospects.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Inozyme Securities Corp., which is a Massachusetts subsidiary created to buy, sell, and hold securities; Inozyme Ireland Limited; and Inozyme Pharma Switzerland GmbH. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are described in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and judgments are based on historical information and other market-specific or various relevant assumptions, including, in certain circumstances, future projections that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to, the accruals for research and development expenses. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. All revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Off-Balance Sheet Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments and, from time to time, long-term investments. The Company maintains deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits and limits its exposure to credit risk by placing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company’s investments are currently composed of U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. government agency debt securities. The Company mitigates credit risk by maintaining a diversified portfolio and limiting the amount of investment exposure as to institution, maturity, and investment type.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash in readily available checking accounts, money market accounts, and certain marketable securities. Cash is carried at cost, which approximates its fair value. Cash equivalents are carried at fair market value.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash is composed of amounts held to collateralize the letter of credit related to the Company’s lease arrangements. Restricted cash is classified as either current or non-current based on the terms of the underlying lease arrangement.
3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the
6
Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

5. Fair Value Measurement
Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
The following tables represent the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the level of fair value hierarchy utilized to determine such fair values:
