Description of Business, Initial Public Offering and Liquidity and Capital Resources Description of Business Xilio Therapeutics, Inc. (“Xilio” or the “Company”) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on harnessing the immune system to achieve deep and durable clinical responses to improve the lives of patients with cancer. The Company was incorporated in Delaware in June 2020, and its headquarters are based in Waltham, Massachusetts. Initial Public Offering In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of common stock, in which it issued and sold an aggregate of 8,119,106 shares of its common stock, including 766,106 shares pursuant to the partial exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares, at a public offering price of $16.00 per share. The Company received approximately $116.4 million in net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company. Liquidity and Capital Resources Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its financial resources and efforts to research and development activities. The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including but not limited to, risks associated with the successful research, development and manufacturing of product candidates, and, if approved, any products, obtaining regulatory approvals for product candidates, and, if approved, commercialization of any products, protection and enforcement of intellectual property and proprietary technology, development by third parties of potentially competitive products or product candidates, compliance with governmental regulations, and the ability to secure additional capital to fund operations. Programs currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts, including preclinical and clinical testing and manufacturing process development and will need to obtain regulatory approval prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel and infrastructure and extensive compliance-reporting capabilities. Even if the Company’s product development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will realize revenue from product sales. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $159.4 million. The Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to enable the Company to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the first half of 2024, which is at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company expects to continue to generate negative cash flows from operations and net losses for the foreseeable future and will need additional capital in the future to support its continuing operations and growth strategy as it continues to invest significantly in research and development of its product candidates, including preclinical and clinical testing and manufacturing process development. To date, the Company has primarily funded its operations with proceeds from the sale of convertible preferred units and convertible preferred stock, a debt financing and the IPO. Management’s conclusion with respect to its ability to fund operations is based on estimates that are subject to risks and uncertainties that may prove to be incorrect. If actual results differ from management’s estimates, the Company may be required to seek additional capital sooner or curtail planned activities to reduce operating expenses, which may have an adverse impact on the Company’s ability to achieve its business objectives.
