License, Research and Collaboration Agreements

Collaboration Agreements

ABL Bio Corporation ("ABL Bio") Agreement

In November 2018, the Company and ABL Bio, a South Korean biotechnology company, entered into an exclusive global (excluding South Korea) license agreement which granted the Company a license to CTX-009 (ABL001), ABL Bio’s bispecific antibody targeting DLL4 and VEGF-A. Under the terms of the agreement, the two companies would jointly develop CTX-009, with ABL Bio responsible for development of CTX-009 throughout the end of Phase 1 clinical trials and the Company responsible for the development of CTX-009 from Phase 2 and onward. ABL Bio received a $5 million upfront payment and $6 million development milestone payment. In addition, ABL Bio is eligible to receive up to $96 million of development and regulatory milestone payments, and up to $303 million of commercial milestone payments and tiered single-digit royalties on net sales of CTX-009 in oncology. ABL Bio is also eligible to receive up to $75 million in development and regulatory milestones and up to $110 million in commercial milestone payments and tiered, single-digit royalties on net sales of CTX-009 in ophthalmology.

In May 2021, the Company and ABL Bio terminated license agreements to several preclinical assets. As a result of the return of these assets to ABL Bio and termination of the license agreements, the Company is eligible to receive royalty payments if ABL Bio develops or licenses two bispecific antibodies that were previously licensed to the Company.

Adimab Agreement

The Company entered into a collaboration agreement with Adimab, LLC on October 16, 2014. The agreement includes provisions for payment of royalties at rates ranging in the single digits as a percentage of future net sales within a specified term from the first commercial sale for certain antibodies, including our product candidate, CTX-471. There were no milestone payments made during the first nine months of 2024. As of September 30, 2024, future potential milestone payments in connection with this agreement amounted to $2.0 million.

Elpiscience Agreement

The Company entered into a license agreement with Elpiscience Biopharmaceuticals Co., Limited (“Elpiscience”) on January 16, 2021. Under the agreement, the Company granted certain rights, including to develop, manufacture and commercialize CTX-009, to Elpiscience for the territory of Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau in exchange for royalties and milestones. In April 2024, Elpiscience completed its phase 1 clinical trial which required a $1 million milestone payment due to the Company. Per the ABL Bio Agreement noted in this footnote, sub-licensing revenue is subject to a 15% royalty. License revenue reflects the $1 million, net of the ABL Bio royalty. License revenue is shown net of this royalty.

7.	Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

The Company has evaluated its leases under ASC 842, Leases, and determined that it has one lease that is classified as an operating lease. The classification of this lease is consistent with the Company’s determination under the previous accounting standard.

When available, the Company will use the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, the Company’s current lease does not provide an implicit rate. Therefore, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate of 6.25% to discount the lease payments based on the date of the lease commencement.

The Company has one operating lease for its corporate office and laboratory facility (“Facility”) that was signed in December 2020. The Company moved into the Facility in January 2021. The Facility lease has an initial term of four years and five months, beginning on January 1, 2021.

The terms of the Facility lease were modified effective September 27, 2024 through the execution of a new lease. The modified terms extended the non-cancelable lease term through May 2031. The modified terms also included the right to use an additional 10,724 square feet that is expected to commence and be available for the Company’s use in May 2025. The classification and incremental borrowing rate for the lease did not change as a result of this lease modification. Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities due to the lease modification were $6.1 million for a total right-of-use assets as of September 30, 2024 of $7.0 million. The remaining lease term of the Facility lease is 6.7 years as of September 30, 2024. The Company has $568 thousand of restricted cash associated with an irrevocable letter of credit required by the landlord to enter into this lease.

Lease costs related to the Facility were $0.3 million for the three months ending September 30, 2024 and 2023 and $1.0 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2024 and 2023. Cash payments related to the Facility were $0.3 million for the three months ending September 30, 2024 and 2023 and $1.0 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2024 and 2023.

The table below presents the undiscounted cash flows for the lease term. The undiscounted cash flows are reconciled to the operating lease liabilities recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet (in thousands):

Defined Contribution Plan

The Company has a 401(k) defined contribution plan (the “401(k) Plan”) for substantially all its employees. Eligible employees may make pre-tax or post-tax (Roth) contributions to the 401(k) Plan up to statutory limits. Since January 1, 2020, the Company has been matching employee contributions to the plan up to 4% of salary. On July 1, 2023, the Company increased the employee matching contribution from 4% to 6%. The Company made matching contributions of $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company made matching contributions of $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Business Description and Basis of Presentation [Text Block]

1.	Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

Compass Therapeutics, Inc. (“Compass” or the “Company”) is a clinical-stage, oncology-focused biopharmaceutical company developing proprietary antibody-based therapeutics to treat multiple human diseases. Our scientific focus is on the relationship between angiogenesis and the immune system. Our pipeline includes novel product candidates that leverage our understanding of the tumor microenvironment, including both angiogenesis-targeted agents and immune-oncology focused agents. These product candidates are designed to optimize critical components required for an effective anti-tumor response to cancer. These include modulation of the microvasculature via angiogenesis-targeted agents; induction of a potent immune response via activators on effector cells in the tumor microenvironment; and alleviation of immunosuppressive mechanisms used by tumors to evade immune surveillance. We plan to advance our product candidates through clinical development as both standalone therapies and in combination with our proprietary drug candidates as long as their continued development is supported by clinical and nonclinical data. References to Compass or the Company herein include Compass Therapeutics, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to companies in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. There can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development will be successfully completed, that adequate protection for the Company’s technology will be obtained, that any products developed will obtain necessary government regulatory approval or that any approved products will be commercially viable. The Company operates in an environment of rapid change in technology and substantial competition from pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. In addition, the Company is dependent upon the services of its employees and consultants.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments (which consist primarily of accruals, estimates and assumptions that impact the financial statements) considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2024 and its consolidated results of operations, comprehensive loss and changes in stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Compass Therapeutics, Inc. and its subsidiaries, and have been prepared by the Company in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Report”).

Liquidity

Since our inception, we have devoted substantially all of our efforts to organizing and staffing our Company, business planning, raising capital, research and development activities, building our intellectual property portfolio and providing general and administrative support for these operations. We have funded our operations with proceeds from the sale of our equity securities and borrowing from debt arrangements. Through September 30, 2024, we have received $430 million in gross proceeds from the sale of equity securities. As of September 30, 2024, we had cash and marketable securities of $135 million. Based on our research and development plans, we expect that such cash resources will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the first quarter of 2027.
