During the three and nine months ending September 30, 2025, and 2024, there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3.

 

The carrying values of other current liabilities approximate fair value in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements due to the short-term nature of those instruments.

 

Valuation of Contingent Consideration

 

The fair value measurement of the contingent consideration obligations is determined using Level 3 inputs and is based on a probability-weighted income approach. The measurement is based upon unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity based on the Company’s own assumptions.

 

The following table presents a reconciliation of contingent consideration obligations measured on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs for the periods ending September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

The fair value of the liability to make potential future milestone and earn-out payments was estimated by the Company at each reporting date based, in part, on the results of a third-party valuation using a discounted cash flow analysis based on various assumptions, including the probability of achieving specified events, discount rates, and the period of time until earn-out payments are payable and the conditions triggering the milestone payments are met. The actual settlement of contingent consideration could differ from current estimates based on the actual occurrence of these specified events.

 

At each reporting date, the Company revalues the contingent consideration obligation to estimated fair value and records changes in fair value as income or expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations may result from changes in discount periods and rates, changes in the timing and amount of revenue estimates and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving the various contingent consideration obligations. The Company has classified the contingent consideration as a long-term liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

 

 

Valuation of Contingent Stock Consideration

 

The contingent stock consideration liability at September 30, 2025, is comprised of the fair value of potential future issuance of Class A common stock to CariCord participating shareholders pursuant to a settlement agreement signed during the year ended December 31, 2021. The fair value measurement of the contingent stock consideration obligation is determined using Level 3 inputs and is based on a probability weighted expected return methodology (“PWERM”). The measurement is largely based upon unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity based on the Company’s own assumptions.

 

The following table presents a reconciliation of the contingent stock consideration obligation measured on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs for the periods ending September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

The fair value of the liability to issue future shares of Class A common stock was estimated by the Company at each reporting date using a PWERM based on various inputs and assumptions, including the Company’s common share price, discount rates, and the probability of achieving specified future operational targets. The actual settlement of contingent stock consideration could differ from current estimates based on the actual achievement of these specified targets and movements in the Company’s common share price.

 

At each reporting date, the Company revalues the contingent stock consideration obligation to estimated fair value and records changes in fair value as income or expense in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Changes in the fair value of the contingent stock consideration obligation may result from changes in discount rates, changes in the Company’s common share price, and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving specified operational targets. The change in the fair value of the contingent stock consideration obligation during the three and nine months ending September 30, 2025 was de minimis. The Company has classified all of the contingent stock consideration in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as a component of accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

 

Valuation of Short-Term Debt – Yorkville and Unsecured Senior Convertible Notes

 

The Company elected the fair value option to account for the Yorkville PPA signed on September 15, 2022 (see Note 11). As of December 31, 2023, due to the short-term nature of the debt, the fair value of the Yorkville PPA approximated the settlement amount, which was fully paid on January 17, 2024. The Company also elected the fair value option to account for the Yorkville convertible promissory note signed on March 13, 2024 (see Note 11) and the unsecured senior convertible notes issued pursuant to the securities purchase agreement signed on November 25, 2024 (see Note 11). The fair value measurement of the debt is determined using Level 3 inputs and assumptions unobservable in the market. Changes in the fair value of debt that is accounted for at fair value, inclusive of related accrued interest expense, are presented as gains or losses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss under change in fair value of debt. The portion of total changes in fair value of debt attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk are determined through specific measurement of periodic changes in the discount rate assumption exclusive of base market changes and are presented as a component of comprehensive loss in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The actual settlement of the short-term debt could differ from current estimates based on the timing of when and if the investors elect to convert amounts into common shares, potential cash repayment by the Company prior to maturity, and movements in the Company’s common share price.

 

The following table presents a reconciliation of short-term debt obligations measured on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs for the nine months ended September 30, 2025:

 

Liabilities:     
Balance as of January 1, 2025  $2,485 
Conversion of debt into common shares   (922)
Settlement of debt in connection with issuance of common stock   (3,470)
Fair value adjustment through earnings   1,907 
Balance as of September 30, 2025  $ 

 

 

The fair values of the Yorkville convertible promissory note and the unsecured senior convertible notes are based on valuations which employ a Monte Carlo model and a credit default model. The Company utilized Level 3 inputs in a probability weighted model based on outcomes of a default, repayment and conversion of the notes. The measurements are based upon unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity based on the Company’s own assumptions. The fair value of the Yorkville convertible promissory note on March 13, 2024, the date of issuance, was $2,993 and the aggregate fair value of the unsecured senior convertible notes at the dates of issuance was $689.

 

Significant inputs for the Yorkville convertible promissory note valuation model were as follows:

Valuation of Warrant Liability

 

The warrant liability at September 30, 2025, is comprised of the fair value of warrants to purchase shares of Class A common stock. The Public Warrants are recorded at fair value based on the period-end publicly stated close price, which is a Level 1 input. The January 2024 Bridge Loan - Tranche #2 Warrants (prior to reclassification to equity classified) and November 2024 Purchaser Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants were recorded at fair value based on a Monte Carlo simulation model and the Registered Direct, PIPE and Sponsor Warrants are recorded at their respective closing date fair values based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model that utilizes inputs for: (i) the value of the underlying asset, (ii) the exercise price, (iii) the risk-free rate, (iv) the volatility of the underlying asset, (v) the dividend yield of the underlying asset and (vi) maturity, which are Level 3 inputs. The Black-Scholes option pricing model’s primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair values of the warrant liabilities is the expected volatility of the Class A common stock. Prior to the merger, Legacy Celularity was a private company and lacked company-specific historical and implied volatility information for its stock. Therefore, the expected stock price volatility was previously estimated using the historical volatilities of a peer group of comparable public companies. Beginning with the current period, the Company estimates expected volatility based solely on the historical volatility of its common stock. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve for time periods approximately equal to the estimated remaining term of the warrants. Inputs to the Monte Carlo and Black-Scholes option pricing models for the warrants are updated each reporting period to reflect fair value.
