Description of the Business

1. Description of the Business

ORIC Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (ORIC or the Company) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to improving patients’ lives by Overcoming Resistance In Cancer. The Company was incorporated in Delaware in August 2014 and has offices in South San Francisco and San Diego, California. The Company’s principal operations are in the United States and the Company operates in one segment.

Since inception, the Company has devoted its primary efforts to raising capital, internal research and development activities and business development efforts and has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. In August 2020, the Company licensed from Mirati Therapeutics, Inc. development and commercialization rights to an allosteric inhibitor program directed towards the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) and in October 2020, the Company licensed from Voronoi Inc. development and commercialization rights to a brain-penetrant, orally bioavailable, irreversible inhibitor designed to selectively target epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) with high potency against exon 20 mutations.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $692.2 million. Through December 31, 2025, all of the Company’s financial support has been provided by proceeds from the issuance of common stock and convertible preferred stock.

As the Company continues its expansion, it may seek additional financing and/or strategic investments, however, there can be no assurance that any additional financing or strategic investments will be available to the Company on acceptable terms, if at all. If events or circumstances occur such that the Company does not obtain additional funding, it will most likely be required to reduce its plans and/or certain discretionary spending, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve its intended business objectives. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if it were unable to continue as a going concern. Management believes that it has sufficient working capital on hand to fund operations through at least the next twelve months from the date of the issuance of these financial statements.

Strategic Pipeline Prioritization

On August 12, 2025, the Company announced a strategic pipeline prioritization to focus operational and financial resources on the continued advancement of its two lead clinical programs, rinzimetostat (formerly ORIC-944) and enozertinib (formerly ORIC-114). This initiative has resulted in a substantial decrease in preclinical research, primarily from the elimination of the Company’s discovery research group. This resulted in an approximately 20% workforce reduction and the Company has incurred a one-time cost of approximately $1.9 million primarily related to termination benefits, including severance and healthcare-related benefits. The workforce reduction was completed in the fourth quarter of 2025.

At-The-Market Sales Agreement and Offering

The Company previously entered into an “at the market” (ATM) sales agreement with Jefferies LLC as the Company’s sales agent, to sell shares of the Company’s common stock. On March 11, 2024, pursuant to the terms of the ATM sales agreement, the Company filed a Form S-3ASR and prospectus supplement, to allow the Company to sell from time to time up to $200.0 million of shares of the Company’s common stock in negotiated transactions or transactions deemed to be an ATM offering. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company raised net proceeds in ATM offerings, including participation from healthcare specialist funds, of approximately $117.6 million through the sale of 11,780,032 shares at a weighted average purchase price of $10.13. In January 2026, the Company raised net proceeds in an ATM offering with participation from a healthcare specialist fund of approximately $20.0 million. The Company did not raise proceeds under an ATM offering in 2024.

Private Placements

On May 23, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with a select group of institutional and accredited healthcare specialist investors for the private placement of 14,130,313 shares of common stock at a price of $6.50 per share and pre-funded warrants to purchase 5,100,532 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $6.4999 per pre-funded warrant, resulting in gross proceeds of $125.0 million. The purchase price per share represents a premium of approximately 18% to ORIC’s 10-day trailing volume-weighted average stock price as of deal signing on May 23, 2025. The pre-funded warrants have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share of common stock, were immediately exercisable and will remain exercisable until exercised in full.
