Item 7.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, together with the related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this Annual Report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors. Please see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this report.
Overview
We are a medical device company focused on developing and commercializing products for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias with our novel, proprietary, catheter-based Ultra-Low Temperature Ablation (“ULTA”) technology. Our initial focus is on the treatment of ventricular tachycardia (“VT”). VT is a rapid, abnormal heart rhythm, or arrhythmia, that originates in the heart’s lower chambers, or ventricles, potentially leading to impaired blood flow and, if sustained, VT can be fatal. VT-associated sudden cardiac death (“SCD”) accounts for approximately 300,000 deaths each year in the United States. Radio Frequency (“RF”) ablation catheters currently used to treat VT were primarily designed and approved for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (“AF”) and are therefore not designed to optimally treat the specifics of the ventricular anatomy and disease. As a result, VT procedures performed with current devices can be overly complex and can lead to sub-optimal outcomes, factors that have potentially led to the limited growth in the market for VT ablations.
Our clinically tested, proprietary ULTA products are purpose-built to treat patients with VT and are designed to address the unique anatomy of the ventricle and the specific needs of the VT patient. Our ULTA approach is built on the hypothesis that large and durable lesions extending through the depth of both diseased and healthy muscular tissue of the ventricle of the heart (ventricular myocardium) is a foundation for improving the effectiveness of VT ablations and patient outcomes. Our differentiated catheters are designed for large, durable, titratable, deep lesions within the ventricle through an endocardial approach with no required irrigation. In October 2025, we announced completion of enrollment in our FULCRUM-VT Pivotal U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) Investigational Device Exemption (“IDE”) study evaluating the vCLASTM Cryoablation System for ablation of monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (“MMVT”) in patients with both ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. The vCLAS System, which was granted Breakthrough Device Designation by the FDA in April 2025, is built on our proprietary ULTA technology platform and is typically utilized with a double freeze cycle (freeze-thaw-freeze) protocol.
We believe that our purpose-built solution for treating the ventricle, with its differentiated design and benefits, has the potential to drive penetration and market growth in ablative treatment of the large, underserved VT patient population.
We have established a robust cadence of clinical data designed to evaluate our technology and gain regulatory approvals of our product portfolio. Preliminary data suggest that our approach to treating VT offers a favorable combination of safety, acute and chronic effectiveness compared to the current standard of care, including ablations performed using RF and pulsed field ablation (“PFA”) energy. Our first-in-human CRYOCURE-VT trial included 64 patients in nine centers in the European Union and Canada. The outcomes of this trial, which were used to support CE Mark approval, include a 0% rate of major adverse events, 94% acute procedural success, 60% freedom from sustained VT and 81% freedom from implantable cardioverter defibrillator (“ICD”) shock at six months. Our vCLASTM. Cryoablation System for VT has obtained European CE Mark approval. In the United States, our 209-patient FULCRUM-VT IDE pivotal clinical trial completed enrollment in October 2025 across nineteen (19) centers in the United States and Canada. The study includes patients with both ischemic and non-ischemic (NICM) cardiomyopathies (LVEF=35+/-10%, 33% NICM, 75% with congestive heart failure). In our preliminary acute safety and efficacy results, acute clinical success, defined as non-inducibility of target ventricular arrhythmias, was 97.4%, with all clinically-relevant VTs eliminated in 96.7% of patients tested by post-ablation programmed electrical stimulation. Key safety findings included a 2.4% rate of major adverse events including four (1.9%) peri-procedural deaths, of which one (0.5%) was adjudicated by an independent Clinical Events Committee as definitely related to the investigational device. We plan to share the six-month results of the FULCRUM-VT trial in April 2026 at the Heart Rhythm 2026 Conference and to submit the results of this trial to support our application for FDA approval of our vCLASTM Cryoablation System in the first half of 2026.

We are also currently developing a next-generation ULTA technology for VT. This catheter, which requires only a single freeze, is being designed to improve customer usability and integration with the existing ablation laboratory workflow. The next-generation catheter features a more flexible, smaller diameter shaft that is compatible with the industry-standard size 8.5 French sheaths, and is designed to operate at lower ablation temperatures resulting in the shorter, single-freeze ablation protocol. We have completed the design phase with this device.
We have also developed a technology that utilizes ULTA in combination with PFA, which we call Pulsed Field Cryoablation (“PFCA”). Early demonstration of PFCA technology has been performed in the European PARALELL trial in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation and in preclinical studies targeting VT ablations.
We have incurred net losses in each year since our inception in 2011. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $95.6 million and $70.6 million, respectively. Our net loss was $25.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 (Successor), $53.8 million for the period from July 31, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (Successor), and $21.3 million for the period from January 1, 2024 to July 30, 2024 (Predecessor), respectively. The net cash used in operating activities was $19.0 million, $13.5 million, and $16.0 million, respectively. Substantially all of our net losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with our research and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had cash of $17.1 million and $20.6 million, respectively.
Going Concern and Operating Outlook
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liabilities in the normal course of business. We have limited revenue and have experienced recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception and anticipate that we will continue to do so for at least the next several years.
As of the report date, we do not believe our existing cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to fund our operating and capital expenditure requirements for at least 12 months from the date of issuance of the audited consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on our current research and development plans, we expect to have sufficient resources to fund our planned operations into the third quarter of 2026. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our capital resources sooner than expected. No assurance can be given as to whether additional needed financing will be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If sufficient funds on acceptable terms are not available when needed, we may be required to suspend or forego certain planned activities. Failure to manage discretionary spending or raise additional financing, as needed, could adversely impact our ability to achieve our intended business objectives and may have an adverse effect on our results of operations and future prospects. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve-month period from the date of this filing with the SEC. Refer to Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business in our consolidated financial statements for additional information on the going concern assessment.
The need for additional capital in the future will depend in part on the scope and costs of our development and clinical activities. To date, we have not generated significant revenue from the sale of commercialized products. Once we conduct a full commercial launch, our ability to generate product revenue will depend on the successful commercialization of our products. Until such time, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through the sale of equity or debt, borrowings under credit facilities, or through potential collaborations, other strategic transactions, or government and other grants. Adequate capital may not be available to us when needed or on acceptable terms. If we are unable to raise capital, we could be forced to delay, reduce, suspend, or cease our research and development programs or any future commercialization efforts, which would have a negative impact on our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition. See the section of this Report titled “Risk Factors” for additional information.

Pursuant to the subscription agreements, the PIPE Investors committed financing valued at $64.5 million (the “2024 PIPE Financing”).
The 2024 PIPE Financing included:
Further, in connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, certain investors (“Convert Investors”) executed a securities purchase agreement, dated February 13, 2024, with ListCo (the “Convertible Security Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which ListCo issued on the Closing Date to the Convert Investors $20.0 million of 13% senior secured convertible notes (the “Convertible Securities Notes”), which were converted into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $10.00 per share, subject to adjustment, and 1,500,000 warrants (the “Convert Warrants”), each Convert Warrant being exercisable on a cashless basis or for cash at a price of $24.00 per share, subject to adjustment. Such $20.0 million of financing in the form of Convertible Securities Notes includes the conversion of the February 2024 Convertible Notes (as defined below) into Convertible Securities Notes and Convert Warrants at Closing. Refer to Note 9 - Debt in our consolidated financial statements for additional details.
As a result of the Business Combination, we became subject to the reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market, which will necessitate us to hire additional personnel and implement procedures and processes to address such public company requirements. We expect to incur additional ongoing expenses as a public company for, among other things, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director fees, and additional internal and external accounting, legal and administrative resources.
Our future results of consolidated operations and financial position may not be comparable to historical results as a result of the Business Combination.

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
We compete primarily on the basis that our products are designed to enable more physicians to treat more patients more efficiently and effectively. Our continued success depends on our ability to:
● obtain and maintain regulatory clearances or approvals;
● expand our sales force across key markets to increase physician awareness;
● cost-effectively manufacture, market and sell our products; and
Innovation
Our business strategy relies significantly on innovation to develop and introduce new products and to differentiate our products from our competitors. We expect our research and development expenditures to increase as we make additional investments to support our growth strategies. We plan to increase our research and development expenditures with internal initiatives. We also expect expenditures associated with our manufacturing organization to grow over time as production volume increases and we bring new products to market. Our internal and external investments will be focused on initiatives that we believe will offer the greatest opportunity for growth and profitability.
Regulatory
Our commercial success will depend upon a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control, including the receipt of regulatory clearances, approvals, or authorizations for existing or new product offerings by us, or product enhancements. We must complete additional clinical testing before we can seek regulatory approval in the United States and begin commercialization of our products. After our products are cleared, approved, or authorized, numerous and pervasive regulatory requirements continue to apply. As such, our ability to navigate, obtain and maintain the required regulatory clearances, approvals, or authorizations, as well as comply with other regulatory requirements, for our products will in part drive our results of operations and impact our business.
Investments in Our Growth
In order to generate future growth, we plan to continue to expand and leverage our sales and marketing infrastructure to increase our customer base and grow our business. Identifying and recruiting qualified sales and marketing personnel and training them on our products, applicable federal and state laws and regulations, and on our internal policies and procedures requires significant time, expense and attention. It often takes several months or more before a sales representative is fully trained and productive. Our ability to increase our customer base and achieve broader market acceptance of our products will also depend to a significant extent on our ability to expand our marketing efforts as our plans to dedicate significant resources to our marketing programs.
Competition
Our industry is intensely competitive, subject to rapid change and significantly affected by new product introductions and other market activities of industry participants. Our most significant competitors are large, well-capitalized companies. We must continue to successfully compete considering our competitors’ existing and future products and related pricing and their resources to successfully market to the physicians who could use our products. Publications of clinical results by us, our competitors and other third parties can also have a significant influence on whether, and the degree to which, we are able to gain market share and increase utilization of our products.

Reimbursement and Insurance Coverage
In both U.S. and non-U.S. markets, our ability to successfully commercialize and achieve market acceptance of our products depends, in significant part, on the availability of adequate financial coverage and reimbursement from third-party payors, including governmental payors (such as the Medicare and Medicaid programs in the United States), managed care organizations and private health insurers. Third-party payors decide which treatments they will cover and establish reimbursement rates for those treatments. Our products are purchased by hospitals and other providers who will then seek reimbursement from third-party payors for the procedures performed using our products. Reimbursement systems in international markets vary significantly by country and by region within some countries, and reimbursement approvals must be obtained on a country-by-country basis. In certain international markets, a product must be approved for reimbursement before it can be approved for sale in that country. Furthermore, many international markets have government-managed healthcare systems that control reimbursement for new devices and procedures. In most markets there are private insurance systems as well as government-managed systems.
Key Components of Results of Operations
Revenues
Historically, we have generated product revenue primarily from the sale of the catheters used with our consoles. We have sold our products directly to hospitals and medical centers. To a lesser extent, we also generated lease revenue from the implied rental of consoles loaned to customers at no charge. We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, when we transfer promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Please refer to Note 2- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our consolidated financial statements for additional details on our revenue recognition policy. Our revenue is subject to fluctuation due to the foreign currency in which our products are sold.
In February 2025, we announced a strategic realignment of resources to prioritize the completion of our FULCRUM-VT U.S. pivotal IDE clinical trial and our product design optimization program. As part of this realignment, we paused the limited European launch of our vCLASTM catheter and significantly reduced commercial activities. As a result, we did not generate revenue during the year ended December 31, 2025.
Costs and Operating Expenses
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue includes raw materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead, shipping and receiving costs and other less significant indirect costs related to the production of our products. Cost of revenue also includes the depreciation expense of consoles loaned to the customers.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses are expensed when incurred and are related to the development of our product candidates which includes pre-clinical, clinical, quality assurance, and research and development operational activities. These costs consist of:
● activities associated with clinical trials performed by third parties;
● professional fees;
● equipment, materials, and costs related to product manufacturing; and
● other operational costs including rent and facilities costs, and depreciation.
88
Table of Contents
We do not track research and development expenses by project or product, as we are at an earlier stage in our pre-clinical and clinical development. Our management believes that the breakdown of research and development expenses by project or product would be arbitrary and would not provide a meaningful assessment.
Management expects the research and development expenses to increase in future periods, as we will incur incremental expenses associated with our ULTA products that are currently under development and in pre-clinical and clinical trials. Product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, and employee-related costs (including stock-based compensation) for personnel in executive, finance and other administrative functions, allocated rent and facilities costs, legal fees relating to corporate matters, professional fees for accounting and consulting services, public company costs, insurance costs, and marketing costs. We expense all selling, general and administrative costs as incurred. In future periods we expect our selling, general and administrative expenses to increase as we continue to expand on our operations and grow our business.
Convertible notes fair value adjustment
We recorded the convertible notes issued in October 2022 (the “October 2022 Convertible Notes”), April 2023 (the “April 2023 Convertible Notes”), November 2023 (the “November 2023 Convertible Notes”), February 2024 (the “February 2024 Convertible Notes”, or the “2024 Bridge Financing Notes”), May 2024 (the “May 2024 Convertible Notes”), June 2024 (the “June 2024 Convertible Notes”), and July 2024 (the “July 2024 Convertible Notes”) (collectively, “Legacy Adagio Convertible Notes”), at fair value at issuance and subsequently remeasure them to fair value at each reporting period. The change in fair value of the Convertible Securities Notes, including amounts related to interest, is recorded in “Convertible notes fair value adjustment.”
In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Convert Investors executed the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which ListCo issued on the Closing Date to the Convert Investors the Convertible Securities Notes, which will be convertible into shares of our Common Stock at a conversion price of $10.00 per share, subject to adjustment, and the Convert Warrants, each Convert Warrant being exercisable on a cashless basis or for cash at a price of $24.00 per share, subject to adjustment. Such $20.0 million of financing in the form of Convertible Securities Notes includes the conversion of the 2024 Bridge Financing Notes into Convertible Securities Notes and Convert Warrants at Closing.
Warrant liabilities fair value adjustment
We accounted for certain common stock warrants outstanding as warrant liabilities at fair value, determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. The liability is subject to remeasurement at each reporting period and any change in fair value is recognized as warrant liabilities fair value adjustment in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Interest expense
Interest expense is primarily incurred from our outstanding debt obligations, including those under the October 2022 Convertible Notes, the Bridge Financing Notes, the Convertible Securities Notes and the SVB Term Loan (as defined below).
Interest Income
Interest income consists primarily of interest earned on our cash, cash equivalents, and money market accounts.

The decrease was primarily due to the repurchase of previously sold inventory during the year ended December 31, 2025 (Successor), which offset gross sales. This inventory buyback was undertaken in connection with our pause in commercial activity in Europe.

Costs of revenue and operating expenses
Cost of revenue
Cost of revenue was $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 (Successor), compared to $1.9 million and $1.4 million for the periods from July 31, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (Successor) and from January 1, 2024 to July 30, 2024 (Predecessor), respectively, representing a decrease of $2.6 million, or 79%. The decrease was primarily attributable to a pause in commercial activity in Europe during 2025 and the related impact of an inventory buyback conducted in connection thereto.
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses were $10.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 (Successor), compared to $4.6 million and $7.6 million for the period from July 31, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (Successor) and from January 1, 2024 to July 30, 2024 (Predecessor), respectively, representing a decrease of $1.6 million, or 13%. This decrease was primarily driven by a $1.0 million decrease in quality assurance costs, a $0.5 million decrease in pre-clinical trial costs and other research and development costs, and a $0.1 million decrease in operations costs.
The following is a breakdown of our research and development costs by type of expense:
Year Ended December 31,
Successor Successor Predecessor
July 31 to December 31 January 1 to July 30
Total research and development expenses $ 10,639 $ 4,634 $ 7,585
Our clinical trial expenses relate to trials for our iCLAS atrial ULTA catheter and system (CYROCURE-2), iCLAS atrial ULTA catheter and system (iCLAS for persistent atrial fibrillation), vCLAS ventricular ULTA catheter (CYROCURE-VT), vCLAS ventricular ULTA catheter (FULCRUM-VT), and PFCA catheter. Clinical trial costs include the expenses related to clinical trial studies and other related expenses. Quality assurance includes regulatory fees and third-party service fees. Pre-clinical trial costs and other research and development costs include the expenses resulting from professional fees, prototypes, and animal testing. Operational costs include expenses related to product manufacturing.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $10.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 (Successor), compared to $7.0 million and $13.0 million for the periods from July 31, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (Successor) and from January 1, 2024 to July 30, 2024 (Predecessor), respectively. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses of $9.5 million, or 47%, was primarily due to the absence of SPAC-related corporate expenses that were incurred in the periods from July 31, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (Successor) and from January 1, 2024 to July 30, 2024 (Predecessor) compared to the year ended December 31, 2025 (Successor) and a decrease in payroll and personnel expenses related to lower headcount during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Impairment – Goodwill
We recorded a $30.3 million Goodwill impairment charge in 2024, with no comparable charges in 2025. Refer to Note 7 – Goodwill, net and Intangible Assets, net in our consolidated financial statements for additional details.
Impairment - Intangible assets, net
We recorded intangible asset impairment charges of $18.9 million in 2024, with no comparable charges in 2025. Refer to Note 7 – Goodwill, net and Intangible Assets, net in our consolidated financial statements for additional details.
Convertible notes fair value adjustment
The change in convertible notes fair value resulted in a loss of $1.0 million for the year ended December 3, 2025. The change in convertible notes fair value resulted in a gain of $0.9 million and $2.1 million for the period from July 31, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (Successor) and from January 1, 2024 to July 30, 2024 (Predecessor), respectively. The changes in fair value were primarily driven by changes in the Company’s common stock price.
Warrant liabilities fair value adjustment
The change in fair value of warrant liabilities resulted in a gain of $20 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to a gain of $6.6 million and $0.2 million for the periods from July 31, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (Successor) and from January 1, 2024 to July 30, 2024 (Predecessor), respectively. The changes in fair value were primarily driven by changes in the Company’s common stock price.
Interest expense
Interest expense was $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 (Successor) and $1.1 million and $1.8 million for the periods from July 31, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (Successor) and from January 1, 2024 to July 30, 2024 (Predecessor), respectively. The decrease of $17 thousand, or 1%, was related to interest incurred from the April 2023 Convertible Notes, November 2023 Convertible Notes, February 2024 Convertible Notes, May 2024 Convertible Notes, June 2024 Convertible Notes, July 2024 Convertible Notes, and the Convertible Securities Notes.
Interest income
Interest income was $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 (Successor) and $0.4 million and $3.0 thousand for the period from July 31, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (Successor) and from January 1, 2024 to July 30, 2024 (Predecessor), respectively. The increase in interest income of $54 thousand was primarily due to the increase of cash balances in an asset management account.
Other income (expense), net
Other income, net was $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 (Successor). Other income, net was $1.9 million and other expense, net was $33.0 thousand for the periods from July 31, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (Successor) and from January 1, 2024 to July 30, 2024 (Predecessor), respectively. This net decrease in other income of $1.7 million was primarily attributable to a tax benefit in the prior period of $1.9 million as a result of the reversal of a portion of the deferred tax liability associated with the impairment of certain of our indefinite-lived intangibles in the period from July 31, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (Successor), partially offset by foreign currency unrealized and realized gains/losses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
To date, we have financed our operations primarily through the sale of equity securities, convertible promissory notes and the SVB Term Loan (as defined below). In connection with the closing of the Business Combination on July 31, 2024, we received net proceeds of $84.2 million. Since inception we have incurred operating losses and negative cash flows and anticipate continuing to do so for at least the next several years.
As of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $17.1 million and $20.6 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2025 (Successor), net losses were $25.1 million. For the period from July 31, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (Successor) and from January 1, 2024 to July 30, 2024 (Predecessor), net losses were $53.8 million and $21.3 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2025 (Successor) and the period from July 31, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (Successor) and the period from January 1, 2024 to July 30, 2024 (Predecessor), net cash used in operating activities was $19.0 million, $13.5 million, and $16.0 million, respectively.
On October 20, 2025, we announced the closing of the Private Placement (as defined below) which resulted in up front, aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $19 million.
As of December 31, 2025 (Successor), we had current obligations consisting primarily of $1.1 million of accounts payable, $7.0 million of accrued liabilities, $0.2 million of operating lease liabilities, current, and cash and cash equivalents of $17.1 million. We do not believe our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund operations for at least the next twelve months from the issuance date of the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We believe that this raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. See “—Going Concern and Operating Outlook.”
We intend to mitigate the conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern entity by (i) negotiating other cash equity or debt financing in the short-term, (ii) continuing to pursue the necessary regulatory approvals to launch commercially in the U.S. market, and (iii) executing cost-cutting measures to manage cash burn. However, there can be no assurances that the current plans will generate any liquidity to us or be available on terms acceptable to us.
2025 PIPE Offering
On October 14, 2025, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited healthcare investors (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which we issued and sold to the Purchasers in a private placement (the “Private Placement”): (i) 9,792,506 shares (the “Shares”) of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), or pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock in lieu thereof, and (ii) accompanying (a) Tranche A Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 6,012,943 shares of Common Stock (or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof) (the “Tranche A Warrants”), (b) Tranche B Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 6,012,943 shares of Common Stock (or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof) (the “Tranche B Warrants”) and (c) Tranche C Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 6,012,943 shares of Common Stock (or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof) (the “Tranche C Warrants” and, together with the Tranche A and Tranche B Warrants, the “Milestone Warrants”), for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $19 million (excluding up to approximately $31 million of additional aggregate gross proceeds that may be received in the future upon the cash exercise in full of the Milestone Warrants issued in the Private Placement), before deducting placement agent fees and other expenses payable by us. Each Share and each Pre-Funded Warrant sold pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement was accompanied by one Tranche A Warrant, one Tranche B Warrant and one Tranche C Warrant. The combined purchase price of each Share and accompanying Milestone Warrants is $1.9403 and (which includes $0.2303 for the Milestone Warrants sold with each Share in accordance with the rules and regulations of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC). The combined purchase price of each Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying Milestone Warrant is $1.9402 (equal to the combined purchase price per Share and accompanying Milestone Warrants, minus $0.001). Entities affiliated with Perceptive Advisors LLC, an affiliate of ours, purchased Pre-Funded Warrants and Milestone Warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $4,250,000.

Table of Contents
Each Milestone Warrant is exercisable for one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.71 per share. The Milestone Warrants will expire upon the earlier of (i) five years from the date of issuance or (ii) (a) for the Tranche A Warrants, the date that is thirty (30) days following our announcement of results from our FULCRUM-VT IDE pivotal clinical trial, (b) for the Tranche B Warrants, the date that is thirty (30) days following our announcement of FDA approval of our vCLAS Cryoablation System, and (c) for the Tranche C Warrants, the date that is thirty (30) days following our announcement of FDA approval of our second generation vCLAS catheter system. The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable for one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. The Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full.
A holder (together with its affiliates) of the Pre-Funded Warrants or Milestone Warrants, as the case may be, may not exercise any portion of the Pre-Funded Warrants or Milestone Warrants to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% (or, at the holder’s option upon issuance, 9.99%) of our outstanding Common Stock immediately after exercise, which percentage may be changed at the holder’s election to a lower or higher percentage not in excess of 19.99% upon 61 days’ notice to us subject to the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants or the Milestone Warrants. In lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon exercise of a Milestone Warrant, after the deadline for effectiveness of the registration statement to be filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of Common Stock determined according to a formula set forth in the Milestone Warrants, provided that such cashless exercise shall only be permitted if, at the time of such exercise, there is no effective registration statement registering the resale of shares of Common Stock underlying the Milestone Warrants or if the prospectus contained in such registration statement is not available for the resale of shares of Common Stock underlying the Milestone Warrants by the Milestone Warrant holder.
In lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon exercise of a Pre-Funded Warrant in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of Common Stock determined according to a formula set forth in the Pre-Funded Warrants.
Refer to Note 10 – Warrants in our consolidated financial statements for additional details.
Future Funding Requirements
Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, investment in clinical research and development, marketing and physician education, legal and other regulatory expenses, commercial activities, general administrative costs and working capital.
We will require additional capital to fund continued clinical activities for our next-generation product, to fund our manufacturing activities, to fund precommercial activities of our programs and for working capital and general corporate purposes. The assessment of our ability to meet our future obligations is inherently judgmental, subjective and susceptible to change.
In the future, we may need to raise additional funds through the issuance of debt and/or equity securities or otherwise. Until such time, if ever, that we can generate revenue sufficient to achieve profitability, we expect to finance our operations through equity or debt financings, which may not be available to us on the timing needed or on terms that we deem to be favorable. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of common stockholders. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making acquisitions or capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we are unable to maintain sufficient financial resources, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected. We may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product discovery and development activities or future commercialization efforts.

Table of Contents
Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with research, development and commercialization of medical products, we are unable to estimate the exact amount of our operating capital requirements. Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:
● our revenue growth;
● our research and development efforts;
● our sales and marketing activities;
● our ability to raise additional funds to finance our operations;
● the emergence and effect of competing or complementary products;
● debt service requirements; and
See the section of this Report titled “Risk Factors” for additional risks associated with our substantial capital requirements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During the periods presented, we did not have, nor do we currently have, any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. We are, therefore, not exposed to the financing, liquidity, market, or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in those types of relationships.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We base our estimates on historical experience, current business factors and various other assumptions that we believe are necessary to consider forming a basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the recorded amounts of revenue and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We are subject to uncertainties such as the impact of future events, economic and political factors, and changes in our business environment; therefore, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Accordingly, the accounting estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. Changes in estimates are made when circumstances warrant. Such changes in estimates and refinements in estimation methodologies are reflected in reported results of operations; if material, the effects of changes in estimates are disclosed in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements.
On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our consolidated financial statements. These are the policies that we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Table of Contents
Stock-Based Compensation
We recognize compensation expense for all stock-based awards issued to employees and non-employees based on the estimated grant-date fair value, which is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. We have elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The determination of fair value for stock-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model requires management to make certain assumptions including expected volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends in addition to our common stock valuation. Refer to Note 14 - Stock-Based Compensation.
We do not have sufficient historical exercise and post-vesting termination activity to provide accurate data for estimating the expected term of options and have opted to use the “simplified method,” whereby the expected term equals the arithmetic average of the vesting term and the original contractual term of the option. Based on the lack of historical data of volatility for our common stock, we base our estimate of expected volatility on an average of the historical volatility of comparable public medical technology companies that reflect volatility characteristics relevant to our expected volatility analysis. The dividend yield is based upon the assumption that we will not declare a dividend over the life of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for bonds with maturities consistent with the expected term of the related award.
Due to the absence of an active market for Legacy Adagio common stock, we utilized methodologies, approaches, and assumptions consistent with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Audit and Accounting Practice Aid Series: Valuation of Privately Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation to estimate the fair value of Legacy Adagio common stock. In determining the exercise prices for options granted, we considered the fair value of the common stock as of the grant date. The fair value of the common stock is determined based upon a variety of factors, including our financial position, historical performance and operating results, our stage of development, the progress of our research and development programs, the prices at which we sold our convertible preferred stock, the superior rights, preferences and privileges of our convertible preferred stock relative to its common stock, external market conditions affecting the medical technologies industry, the lack of marketability of the Legacy Adagio common stock, prospects of a transaction and market performance of peer companies. Significant changes to the key assumptions underlying the factors used could result in different fair values of Legacy Adagio at each valuation date.
Impairment of Intangible Assets
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. In determining the estimated useful lives of definite-lived intangibles, we consider the nature, competitive position, life cycle position and expected future operating cash flows of the acquired asset, as well as its commitment to support these assets through continued investment and legal infringement protection.
Our intangible assets subject to amortization and other long-lived assets, are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, which requires that companies consider whether events or changes in facts and circumstances, both internally and externally, may indicate that an impairment of long-lived assets held for use are present. We review definite lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. In the event that such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the carrying amount of the asset, the assets are written down to their estimated fair values and the loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
For the period from January 1, 2024 to July 30, 2024 (Predecessor) and for the year ended December 31, 2025 (Successor), we determined that there was no impairment of definite-lived intangible assets. We determined that as of December 31, 2024, the fair value of our definite lived intangible assets was less than the carrying amount. As a result, we recorded a $3.8 million impairment charge during the period from July 31, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (Successor). The impairment was driven by a sustained decline in our share price and market capitalization.

Table of Contents
Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of In-Process Research and Development (“IPR&D”). In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other Intangible, assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment if impairment indicators arise and, at a minimum, annually. However, an entity is permitted to first assess qualitative factors to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. Further testing is only required if the entity determines, based on the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. Otherwise, no further impairment testing is required. The indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test consists of a one-step analysis that compares the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of an intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
For the period from January 1, 2024 to July 30, 2024 (Predecessor) and for the year ended December 31, 2025 (Successor), we determined that there was no impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets. We determined that as of December 31, 2024, the fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets was less than the carrying amount. As a result, we recorded a $15.1 million impairment charge during the period from July 31, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (Successor). The impairment was driven by a sustained decline in our share price and market capitalization.
Impairment of Goodwill
In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, we test goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. We have one reporting unit for the goodwill impairment testing purposes. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable (a “triggering event”). On the occurrence of a triggering event, an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether a quantitative impairment test is necessary. If it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, the fair value of the reporting unit (the Company) is compared with its carrying value. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, provided, the loss recognized cannot exceed the total amount of goodwill.
For the period from January 1, 2024 to July 30, 2024 (Predecessor) and for the year ended December 31, 2025 (Successor), we determined that there was no goodwill impairment. We determined that as of December 31, 2024, our fair value was less than our carrying amount. As a result, we recorded a $30.3 million goodwill impairment charge during the period from July 31, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (Successor). The impairment was driven by a sustained decline in our share price and market capitalization.
Term Loan (Predecessor)
Legacy Adagio accounts for the Predecessor term loan at residual value on the date of issuance. The expected life of the term loan is the contractual term ending on the maturity date. Legacy Adagio classifies the term loan as current liabilities within twelve months of the maturity date or when otherwise due. Interest expense is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss over the contractual term of the loan. Refer to Note 9 - Debt in our consolidated financial statements for additional information related to the term loan.
Warrants
We have Milestone Warrants (as defined below) issued along with the 2025 PIPE Pre-funded Warrants (as defined below) issued in the 2025 PIPE Financing (as defined below), which are classified as equity. We have Convert Warrants (as defined below) issued along with the Convertible Securities Notes, and PIPE Pre-funded Warrants (as defined below) issued in the 2024 PIPE Financing (as defined below), which are classified as liabilities. We also have PIPE Base Warrants (as defined below) issued in the 2024 PIPE Financing, which are classified as equity.

We determine the classification of warrants based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments and meet all of the requirements for equity classification, including whether the warrants are indexed to our own shares of common stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding. For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are classified as liabilities and are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter until settlement. Changes in the estimated fair value of the liability-classified warrants are recognized in warrant liabilities fair value adjustment in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to a liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the consolidated balance sheets as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the consolidated balance sheet date.
Refer to Note 10 - Warrants for additional information related to the warrants.
Convertible Preferred Stock (Predecessor)
We record the Legacy Adagio convertible preferred stock at fair value on the dates of issuance, net of issuance costs. Upon the occurrence of certain events that are outside the Legacy Adagio’s control, including a deemed liquidation event, holders of the convertible preferred stock can cause redemption for cash. Each share of preferred stock would automatically be converted into shares of Legacy Adagio common stock at the then effective conversion rate immediately upon the earlier of (i) the election of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of preferred stock, voting as a separate class on an as-converted to common stock basis, or (ii) the closing of the sale of the Legacy Adagio’s common stock in a firm commitment, underwritten public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with aggregate offering proceeds to Legacy Adagio (before deduction for underwriters’ discounts and expenses relating to the issuance) of at least $75.0 million and a public offering price per share equal to at least $67.83 (subject to adjustments for stock dividends, splits, combinations and similar events).
As the Legacy Adagio preferred stock was considered to be contingently redeemable, the Legacy Adagio preferred stock was classified outside of permanent equity.
Fair Value Option for Convertible Notes
As permitted under ASC 825, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825”), Legacy Adagio elected the fair value option to account for the October 2022 Convertible Notes, the April 2023 Convertible Notes, the November 2023 Convertible Notes, the February 2024 Convertible Notes, the May 2024 Convertible Notes, the June 2024 Convertible Notes, and the July 2024 Convertible Notes (collectively, “Legacy Adagio Convertible Notes”), and we elected the fair value option to account for the Convertible Securities Notes, in order to measure those liabilities at amounts that more accurately reflect the current economic environment in which the we and Legacy Adagio operated.
The Convertible Securities Notes mentioned above were recorded at fair value at issuance and subsequently were remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period. The change in fair value of the Convertible Securities Notes, including amounts related to interest, is recorded in “Convertible notes fair value adjustment”.
As a result of applying the fair value option, direct costs and fees related to the issuance of the Convertible Securities Notes were expensed as incurred (i.e., not recognized as deferred costs). Refer to Note 4 - Fair Value Measurements for further detail.

Emerging Growth Company Status
We are an emerging growth company (“EGC”), as defined in the JOBS Act. The JOBS Act permits companies with EGC status to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards, delaying the adoption of these accounting standards until they would apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period to enable us to comply with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting standards as of public company effective dates.
In addition, we intend to rely on the other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an EGC, we intend to rely on such exemptions, we are not required to, among other things: (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis); and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation-related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.
We will remain an EGC under the JOBS Act until the earliest of (i) the last date of our fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, (ii) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the rules of the SEC with at least $700.0 million of outstanding securities held by non-affiliates, or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the previous three-years.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Adagio Medical Holdings, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Adagio Medical Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, consolidated statements of convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity (deficit), and consolidated statements of cash flows for the periods January 1 to December 2025 and July 31 to December 31, 2024 (Successor), January 1 to July 30, 2024 (Predecessor), and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods January 1 to December 2025 and July 31 to December 31, 2024 (Successor), January 1 to July 30, 2024 (Predecessor), in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the entity will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the entity has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the entity’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
