Staff comment: As it relates to your 2023 Gilead License Agreement, you disclose that you identified three distinct performance obligations and that the transaction price was allocated to these performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling price. Please revise your future filings to quantify the amount of the transaction price allocated to each unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) performance obligation as of the end of each reporting period and an explanation as to the period over which you expect to recognize the remaining revenue. In this regard, we note that $35.9 million remains unrecognized as deferred revenue, and that you expect to recognize 31% of the remaining performance… letter →
Company response: The Company respectfully advises the Staff that, upon inception of the 2023 Gilead License Agreement, it identified three performance obligations. The agreement also provided Gilead with an option to purchase drug supply of GS-0321. The Company concluded that this option did not provide a material right and therefore did not represent a separate performance obligation. During the first half of 2026, Gilead exercised its option to purchase additional goods and services related to the supply of GS-0321. The Company undertakes to update its disclosure in future filings with the Commission to reflect the exercise of this option. The Company further advises the Staff that revenue associated with… response letter →

Staff comment: We note that in your table of selected financial data by business segment, you have a column titled “Corporate and Other” and that this column consists of general and administrative overhead costs and unallocated expenses related to stock-based compensation and purchased intangible amortization, which are not used in evaluating the results of, or in the allocation of resources to, your reportable segments. As this amount appears to represent the reconciling items between the total of the gross margin segment measures and your consolidated gross margin, rather than revenue/expenses related to other segments, it should not be given prominence as a separate column, but instead should be… letter →

Company response: to this comment, commencing with our FY 2026 Form 10-K, we will move the sections entitled “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Non-GAAP net income,” which include a discussion of non-GAAP financial measures, from their current location to a new section to be captioned “Non-GAAP financial measures” that follows the “Results of operations” section, which contains a discussion of our GAAP results, so that our discussion and analysis of our GAAP measures have equal or greater prominence than our non-GAAP discussion. Our existing section titled “Key financial and operating metrics” will accordingly be renamed “Key operating metrics” to reflect the removal of these sections, as the sections “Adjusted EBITDA”… response letter →

Staff comment: We note that when analyzing the change in revenue for each of your segments, you indicate the change resulted from a change in volume, partially offset by a change in selling price. While you have provided management's perspective on the underlying factors contributing to the change in selling price, you have not provided similar insight from management into the underlying factors contributing to the change in volume. We further note that management appears to have insight into these underlying factors based on the disaggregation of revenue by end market provided in Note 5 and the discussion in your third quarter earnings call of strong demand from infrastructure projects. Please revise… letter →

Staff comment: We note your response to prior comment 6, including your statements that you do not present GAAP gross profit or GAAP gross margin in your Consolidated Statements of Operations because certain costs related to contract revenues are expensed as incurred and included in research and development expenses and it is not practicable to allocate such expenses to cost of sales.

Staff comment: We note that on page 114 you disclose the other segment items for each of your three reportable segments and include a line for unallocated corporate expenses to arrive at a total for these amounts. Please note that presentation of this total is not consistent with the guidance in ASC 280 and should be removed as it represents a non-GAAP financial measure. Additionally, we note that you do not present significant segment expenses in your disclosure and instead disclose that individual expenses are not a primary focus in segment-level decision-making as the CODM relies on adjusted EBITDA as the key financial metric for assessing performance and allocating resources across segments.
