ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, beliefs and expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, particularly in the sections of this report titled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Overview
We have developed and are commercializing products for managing animal pest populations through fertility control and population management strategies. Our current products focus on rat and mouse populations, and are known as: ContraPest, Evolve Rat, and Evolve Mouse.
During 2025, we experienced strong growth in our Evolve product line, which now represents the majority of our total revenue. Sales of Evolve Rat and Evolve Mouse increased across all major distribution channels, led by e-commerce, pest management professionals, and retail expansion. We also announced that our products are now available on retailer e-commerce sites, which we view as an important step toward broader brick-and-mortar retail availability.
Our focus remains on achieving sustainable revenue growth while progressing toward profitability. To that end, we continue to emphasize operational efficiency, manufacturing cost reductions, and sales channel optimization. Gross margins remain strong, reflecting the favorable economics of our Evolve products and improved manufacturing throughput.

We have also expanded our distribution reach and continued to support our international distribution partners as they introduce our fertility control technology to new markets.
We believe the market opportunity for non-poison rodent control remains significant and growing, driven by regulatory restrictions on traditional rodenticides and increasing demand for safer, sustainable pest-management alternatives. Our near-term priorities are to further scale our Evolve product family, expand e-commerce and retail and professional distribution channels, and strengthen our path to profitability.
Results of Operations
The following tables provide financial and operational information to be considered in conjunction with management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations.
The results of operations are as following for the years presented (dollars in thousands):
Years Ended December 31, Increase (Decrease)
Operating expenses:
Revenues, net
Years Ended December 31,
Revenues, which are net of any discounts and promotions, were $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The $364,000, or 20%, increase in 2025 was driven by increasing unit demand for our Evolve products, partially offset by a decrease in the number of units sold of our ContraPest product offerings. Launched in January 2024, and expanded during 2024 with variations in product offerings, Evolve is a soft bait containing the active ingredient, cottonseed oil, and represented approximately 81%, or $1.8 million, of revenue for 2025 compared to 66%, or $1.2 million, of revenue for 2024. Partially offsetting this increase was a decline in the revenue related to our ContraPest product offerings. Limited erosion of demand for ContraPest products is expected to continue as Evolve products are accepted in the marketplace.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales, consisting primarily of the cost of products sold, including scrap and reserves for obsolescence, was $833,000, or 37.5% of net sales, for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared with $853,000, or 45.9% of net sales, for the year ended December 31, 2024. The lower cost of net sales is largely due to a shift in the mix of products sold, with Evolve representing 81% of sales in 2025 compared to 66% in 2024. Additionally, cost of sales in 2024 was impacted during the first quarter of 2024 from the higher cost of a key ingredient for our new Evolve product as we transitioned from development-stage raw materials pricing to production-level raw materials pricing.

Table of Contents
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $1.4 million, for a gross profit margin of 62.5%, compared with gross profit of $1.0 million, or a gross profit margin of 54.1%, for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in our gross profit margin was driven by the shift in the mix of our products sold, and increased due to our Evolve product offerings, which launched in January 2024. Additionally, the 2024 gross profit margin was impacted by both the higher-than-expected cost of a key ingredient in our new Evolve product during the first quarter of 2024, combined with an increased proportion of our sales coming from distributors, who are offered a lower price due to the quantities purchased.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred and consist primarily of costs incurred in connection with the research and development of our products and our other product candidates. Such costs include the following:
•employee related expenses, including salaries, related benefits, travel and stock-based compensation expense for employees engaged in research and development functions, including that portion of manufacturing not included in cost of goods sold;
•expenses incurred in connection with the development of our product candidates, including related regulatory and production expenses; and
•facilities, depreciation and other expenses, which include direct and allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities, insurance and supplies.
Research and development expenses consisted of the following (in thousands):
Years Ended December 31, Increase (Decrease)
Personnel-related (including stock-based compensation) $ 894 $ 1,032 $ (138)
Research and development expenses were $1.7 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. The decrease in 2025 as compared to 2024 was primarily due to cost containment efforts, including lower personnel costs resulting from changes in headcount, as well as lower consulting and legal fees required for research and development purposes. These savings were partially offset by increased transitional facility expenses associated with our April 2025 move to a new facility, and included $135,000 in non-cash operating lease costs. Additionally, supplies and maintenance costs were higher in 2025.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs, including stock-based compensation, for personnel in executive, finance, sales, marketing and administrative functions. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include free shipping offered in connection with marketing efforts, direct and allocated facility-related costs, franchise fees as well as professional fees for legal, consulting, accounting and audit services.
30
Table of Contents
Selling, general and administrative expenses consisted of the following (in thousands):
Years Ended December 31, Increase (Decrease)
Personnel-related (including stock-based compensation) $ 2,478 $ 2,630 $ (152)
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $5.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was due to higher legal fees related to an ongoing legal matter and totaled $631,000 in 2025. Additionally, franchise fees and corporate governance costs were higher in 2025 when compared with 2024. Overall, other operating expenses decreased as a result of our continued cost containment efforts.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net, consists of interest income and expense, as well as any gains or losses related to the sale of property and equipment and any other miscellaneous items. For the year ended December 31, 2025, other income, net consisted of interest income of $144,000, partially offset by interest expense of $22,000. For the year ended December 31, 2024, other income, net largely consisted of interest income of $56,000 and a gain on the sale of equipment of $28,000, partially offset by interest expense of $22,000. Interest income was higher in 2025 due to a higher average balance of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in 2025 when compared to 2024, driven by the $13.2 million of net proceeds received from equity transactions in 2025.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses related to our research and development activities and commercialization efforts and expect such losses to continue for the near future. Through December 31, 2025, we had received net proceeds of $107.7 million primarily from the sales of our equity securities, including warrant exercises, an aggregate of $7.8 million in product sales, and an aggregate of $1.7 million from licensing fees. As of December 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were $8.6 million, compared to $1.3 million as of December 31, 2024. Net cash used in operations improved to $5.8 million in 2025, compared to $6.0 million in 2024 and from $7.6 million in 2023.
Based upon our current operating plan, we expect that our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments as of December 31, 2025, in combination with anticipated revenue, will be sufficient to fund our current operations through approximately the second quarter of 2027. This estimate assumes continued execution of our current commercialization strategy, planned levels of operating expenses, and no significant changes in working capital requirements.
Our projected cash runway does not assume the receipt of additional capital from equity issuances, debt financings, strategic partnerships, or other external sources. If revenue growth does not occur at anticipated levels, or if expenses exceed current expectations, we may be required to seek additional financing sooner that currently anticipated.
We continue to evaluate various financing alternatives, including equity offerings under our existing ATM program, strategic partnerships, and other capital-raising transactions. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.
31
Table of Contents
Additional Funding Requirements
Our expenses may continue to increase in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we focus on marketing and sales of fertility control products. In addition, we will continue to incur costs associated with operating as a public company.
In particular, we may incur expenses as we:
•work to maximize market acceptance for, and generate sales of, our products, including by conducting field demonstrations at potential lead customers;
•explore strategic partnerships to enable us to penetrate additional target markets and geographical locations;
•manage the infrastructure for sales, marketing and distribution of our fertility control products and any other product candidates for which we may receive regulatory approval;
•seek additional regulatory approvals, if any, for our products, including to more fully expand the market and use for our fertility control products and, if we believe there is commercial viability, for our other product candidates;
•further develop our manufacturing processes to contain costs while being able to scale to meet future demand of our fertility control products and any other product candidates for which we receive regulatory approval;
•continue product enhancement and evolution of our existing fertility control products and advance our research and development activities and, as our operating budget permits, advance the research and development programs for other product candidates;
•maintain and protect our intellectual property portfolio; and
•add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel, including personnel to support our product development and commercialization efforts and operations as a public company.
We believe we may need additional financing to fund these expenses.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our sources and uses of cash for each of the years presented (in thousands):
Years Ended December 31,
Cash and cash equivalents, beginning of year $ 1,307 $ 5,395
Net cash provided by (used in):
Investing activities (1,102) (56)
Net change in cash and cash equivalents 6,268 (4,088)
Cash and cash equivalents, end of year $ 7,575 $ 1,307
Cash Flows from Operating Activities—Cash flows from operating activities are generally determined by the amount and timing of cash received from customers and payments made to vendors, as well as the nature and amount of non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation included in operating results during a given period.
During 2025, net cash flows used in operating activities consisted of our net loss of $6.4 million offset by non-cash charges of $518,000 and changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $115,000. Our net loss was primarily attributed to expenses incurred related to our selling, general and administrative activities as we continued efforts to commercialize our products as well as research and development activities, as revenue from our product sales did not cover our operating expenses during the year. Changes to net cash used in our operating assets and liabilities primarily consisted of decreases of
32
Table of Contents
$121,000 in accounts receivable, $80,000 in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $22,000 in other assets, and a net increase of $73,000 in accounts payable and accrued expenses, offset by an increase of $200,000 in inventory.
During 2024, net cash flows used in operating activities consisted of our net loss of $6.2 million and changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $297,000, offset by non-cash charges of $448,000. Revenue from our product sales did not cover our operating expenses during 2024. Our net loss was primarily attributed to expenses incurred related to our selling, general and administrative activities and our research and development activities. Changes to net cash used in our operating assets and liabilities primarily consisted of increases of $242,000 in accounts receivable and $36,000 in other assets related to the deposit on our new facility, and a net decrease of $25,000 in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities—Cash flows from investing activities consist of held-to-maturity investment transactions, the purchase of property and equipment, and any proceeds received in connection with sales of property and equipment. In 2025, cash used in investing activities consisted of purchases of held-to-maturity investments of $3.0 million and property and equipment purchases of $138,000, offset by maturities of held-to-maturity investments of $2.0 million. In 2024, we had property and equipment purchases of $84,000 offset by proceeds received of $28,000 related to the sale of certain equipment.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities—Financing activities provide cash for both day-to-day operations and capital requirements as needed. In 2025, net cash provided by financing activities consisted of $10.5 million from the exercise of warrants and $2.7 million from the issuance of common stock, partially offset by $56,000 of repayments of notes payable. In 2024, net cash provided by financing activities consisted of $2.0 million from the exercise of warrants, $38,000 from the issuance of common stock and $25,000 from proceeds from notes payable, partially offset by $42,000 of repayments of notes payable.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements:
Inventory Valuation. We value inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. In addition, we write down any obsolete, unmarketable or otherwise impaired inventory to net realizable value. The determination of obsolete, or excess inventory requires us to estimate the future demand for our products. The estimate of future demand is compared to inventory levels to determine the amount, if any, of obsolete or excess inventory. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those we projected at the time the inventory was written down, additional inventory write-downs may be required. Inventory valuation is re-evaluated on a quarterly basis.
Stock-Based Compensation. Stock-based compensation expenses is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for stock options and market price for restricted stock units. The use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model, requires certain estimates, including expected term of options granted, the method of calculating expected volatilities and the risk-free interest rate used in the option-pricing model. The resulting calculated fair value of stock options is recognized as compensation expenses over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. When there are changes to the assumptions used in the option-pricing model, including fluctuations in the market prices of our common stock, there will be variations in the calculated fair value of our future stock option awards, which results in variation in the stock-based compensation expensed recognized. Additionally, any modification of an award that increases its fair value will require us to recognize additional expense.
Income Taxes. We record deferred income taxes for temporary difference between the amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting purposes and we record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. We also regularly conduct a comprehensive review of our uncertain tax positions. In this regard, an uncertain tax position represents our expected treatment of a tax position taken in a filed tax return, or planned to be taken in a future tax return, that has not been reflected in measuring income tax expense for
33

financial reporting purposes. Until these positions are sustained by the taxing authorities, we do not recognize the tax benefit resulting from such positions and report the tax effect for uncertain tax positions in our balance sheets.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of SenesTech, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of SenesTech, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2025, 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 each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s 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 Company’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.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Evaluation of the Company’s Alleviation of Going Concern
Description of the Matter:
The Company’s recurring losses from operations, negative cash flows, and accumulated deficit raised substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. As disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern was alleviated as a result of successfully completing equity raises during the year and management’s significant assumptions and judgments related to forecasting future cash flows demonstrating a positive liquidity position.
We identified the evaluation of the Company’s ability to alleviate the going concern position as a critical audit matter. This matter required especially challenging auditor judgment due to the complexity and subjectivity involved in assessing management’s forecasts and assumptions, and the potential impact on the financial statements if the going concern basis was not appropriate.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit:
To evaluate the Company’s conclusion that the conditions and events raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern have been alleviated, we evaluated management’s forecasts that included underlying assumptions, budget to actual comparisons, current and projected economic and geographic factors, the impact of successfully completing equity raises and the consideration of subsequent events occurring after the balance sheet date. We also evaluated the adequacy of the Company’s disclosures regarding the alleviation of substantial doubt related to its ability to continue as a going concern and management’s plans and actions to address those concerns.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Nature of Business
SenesTech, Inc. (referred to in this report as “SenesTech,” the “Company,” “we” or “us”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada in July 2004. In November 2015, we subsequently reincorporated in the State of Delaware. Our corporate headquarters and manufacturing site are in Surprise, Arizona. We have developed and are commercializing products for managing animal pest populations through fertility control. Our current products focus on rat and mouse populations, and are known as ContraPest®, Evolve® Rat and Evolve Mouse.
CONTRAPEST. ContraPest, our initial product, is a liquid bait containing the active ingredients 4-vinylcyclohexene diepoxide and triptolide. ContraPest targets the reproductive systems of both male and female rats, is a highly palatable formulation, does not cause illness or changed behavior in rats, and leads to significant reductions in fertility and rat populations. Accordingly, ContraPest is an additional tool to use as part of an integrated pest management program.
As of the date hereof, ContraPest is registered in all 50 states and the District of Columbia (49 states and the District of Columbia have approved the removal of the Restricted Use Product designation), and two major U.S. territories, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
EVOLVE. The Evolve product line, which began in the form of Evolve Rat, launched in January 2024, and is currently our lead product. Evolve Rat is a soft bait product that is novel to the pest control industry and contains the active ingredient, cottonseed oil. Evolve Rat reduces fertility in both male and female rats. Additionally, its palatable formulation produces high acceptance for sustained consumption even when other sought-after food sources are present. Evolve Rat does not cause illness in rats and, therefore, it does not change behavior or result in bait aversion. By targeting the reproductive systems of both male and female rats, and with palatability promoting continued consumption, the use of Evolve Rat can lead to a sustained reduction of the rat population.
Evolve Rat meets the EPA’s minimum risk pesticide conditions under Section 25(b) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (“FIFRA”). Due to its classification, Evolve Rat is exempt from federal registration because it poses little to no risk to human health and the environment. Evolve Rat is also made from food ingredients with tolerance exemptions for both food and nonfood applications, which allows it to be used in agricultural applications. There are 10 states that accept the federal exemption for pesticide registration and require no additional determination or approval. In states that do not accept the federal exemption, we must obtain registration from the various state regulatory agencies. As of the date hereof, we are authorized to sell Evolve Rat in 48 states and territories.
In May 2024, we launched EvolveMouse, our latest iteration of the Evolve product line. Evolve Mouse is a modified version of our soft bait technology and contains the same active ingredient, cottonseed oil. Evolve Mouse limits reproduction of male and female mice and is also considered a minimum risk pesticide under Section 25(b) of FIFRA. As of the date hereof, we are authorized to sell Evolve Mouse in 37 states and territories.
Going Concern Substantial Doubt Alleviated
Our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were prepared under the assumption that we would continue as a going concern. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm that accompanied our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 contained a going concern qualification in which such firm expressed substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern without additional capital becoming available, based on the financial statements at that time.
In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, management evaluated the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with the Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements–Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), which requires an assessment of relevant conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that are known or reasonably knowable by management on the issuance dates of the financial statements, which indicated the probable likelihood that the Company will be able to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the issuance date of the financial statements.
As part of its evaluation, management assessed known events, trends, commitments, and uncertainties, including proceeds from recent financings. During 2025, the Company generated net proceeds of $13.2 million from the sale of common

stock, including the exercise of outstanding warrants. The proceeds are available for operating expenses, including selling, general and administration expenses, as well as the cost of research and development. Based on its evaluation, management believes it has mitigated the circumstance that led to a doubt with respect to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, which existed at the time of the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses related to our research and development activities and commercialization efforts and we expect these losses to continue in the near term. While we have generated revenue from product sales over the past few years, those revenues have not been sufficient to cover our operating costs. Accordingly, we have primarily funded our operations to date through the sale of equity securities, including warrant exercises, and product sales. As of December 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $142.5 million and cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $8.6 million.
Our ultimate, long-term success depends upon the outcome of a combination of factors, including the following: (i) successful commercialization of fertility control products and maintaining and obtaining regulatory approval of our products and product candidates (if approved); (ii) market acceptance, commercial viability and profitability of our products and product; candidates (if approved) (iii) our ability to market our products and establish an effective sales force and marketing infrastructure to generate significant revenue; (iv) the success of our research and development; (v) our ability to retain and attract key personnel to develop, operate and grow our business; and (vi) our ability to meet our working capital needs.
Based upon our current operating plan, we expect that our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $8.6 million as of December 31, 2025, in combination with anticipated revenue will be sufficient to fund our current operations through approximately the second quarter of 2027. While we have evaluated and continue to evaluate our operating expenses and have focused our resources on the successful commercialization of fertility control products in the United States, additional financing may be needed in order to achieve our anticipated revenue and margin targets. If we are unable to raise necessary capital through the sale of our securities, credit facilities, sales of our products, government and foundation grants, third party collaborations, strategic alliances or from other sources or transactions, we may be required to take other measures that could impair our ability to be successful and operate as a going concern. In any event, additional capital may be needed in order to fund our operating losses and research and development activities before we become profitable. We may never achieve profitability or generate positive cash flows, and unless and until we do, we will continue to need to raise capital. If such capital is not available at adequate levels or on acceptable terms, we may need to delay, limit or terminate commercialization and development efforts or discontinue operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different conditions.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The guidance enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. We adopted ASU 2023-09 retrospectively as of December 31, 2025. Accordingly, the income tax disclosures for prior periods presented have been revised to conform to the 2025 presentation. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, as the guidance affects disclosure requirements only.
There have been no other recent accounting pronouncements that we believe have a significant impact, or potential significant impact, to our financial statements.

Reclassification
To conform with the 2025 presentation, we have reclassified the non-cash operating lease benefit of $8,000 from the change in other assets in the statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2024. This reclassification had no impact on our statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2024.
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less as the date of acquisition are classified as cash equivalents, of which we had $7.1 million and $1.0 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, included within Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheets.
Short-term Investments
As of December 31, 2025, we held investments in U.S. Treasuries classified as held-to-maturity and measured at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. We have both the intent and the ability to hold these securities to maturity. U.S. Treasuries with original maturities greater than 90 days and less than one year are presented as short-term investments on the balance sheet.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts based on standard prices and do not bear interest. We provide an allowance for doubtful receivables equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. That estimate is based on historical collection experience, current economic and market conditions, and a review of the current status of each customer’s trade accounts receivable. Provisions for uncollectible accounts receivable are charged to Selling, general and administrative expense, with an offsetting credit to the allowance for uncollectible accounts.
Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials, work in progress and finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or market value, using the first-in, first-out convention. Cost includes the acquired cost of raw materials, with work-in-progress and finished goods including the application of labor costs related to the manufacturing process. Raw materials are stocked to reduce the risk of impact on manufacturing for any potential supply interruptions or long lead times on certain ingredients.
Reserves for obsolete inventory consist of reserves primarily related to obsolete product containers and delivery systems.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Equipment held under finance leases are stated at the present value of minimum lease payments less accumulated amortization.
Depreciation on property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:
Research and development equipment 5 years
Office and computer equipment 3 years
Autos 5 years
Furniture and fixtures 7 years
The cost of leasehold improvements is amortized over the life of the improvement or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Equipment held under finance leases are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. The Company incurs maintenance costs on its major equipment. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require long-lived assets or asset groups to be tested for possible impairment, the Company compares the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the use of the asset or asset group to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow models and the use of third- party independent appraisals. We have not recorded an impairment of long-lived assets since our inception.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), we recognize revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform pilot studies by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.
We derive revenue primarily from commercial sales of products, net of discounts and promotions, as well as consulting and implementation services provided in conjunction with our product deployments. We recognize revenue when product is shipped at a fixed selling price with payment terms of 30 to 120 days from invoicing. We recognize any other revenue earned from pilot studies, consulting and implementation services upon the performance of specific services under the respective service contract.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses primarily consist of salaries and benefits for research and development employees, stock-based compensation, consulting fees, lab supplies, costs incurred related to conducting scientific trials and field studies, regulatory compliance costs, as well as manufacturing costs associated with process improvement and other research. Research and development expenses include an allocation of facilities related costs, including depreciation of equipment.
Stock-based Compensation
Stock-based awards, consisting of stock options and restricted stock units expected to be settled in shares of our common stock, are recorded as equity awards. The grant date fair value of these awards is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for stock options and grant date market value for restricted stock units. We expense the grant date fair value of our stock-based awards on a straight-line basis over their respective vesting periods.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and were $138,000 and $224,000 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities and net operating loss carryforwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date.
We record net deferred tax assets to the extent we believe these assets will more likely than not be realized. These deferred tax assets are subject to periodic assessments as to recoverability and if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized, valuation allowances are recorded which would increase the provision for income taxes. In making such determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued
taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. We currently maintain a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets.
We apply a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties. Only those benefits that have a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities are recognized. Based on our evaluation, we have concluded there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our financial statements.
We recognize interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. There are no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2025 or 2024 and as such, no interest or penalties were recorded in income tax expense.
Comprehensive Loss
We have no other comprehensive income items for the periods presented. As a result, our net loss and comprehensive loss were the same for all periods presented and a separate statement of comprehensive loss is not included in the accompanying financial statements.

NOTE 4: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The accounting guidance for fair value, among other things, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The framework for measuring fair value consists of a three-level valuation hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value based upon whether such inputs are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions made by the reporting entity. The three-level hierarchy for the inputs to valuation techniques is briefly summarized as follows:
Level 1 —Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;
Level 2 —Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities; and
Level 3 —Unobservable inputs that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities that are supported by little or no market data.
An asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
F-14
Table of Contents
SENESTECH, INC.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques:
A.Market approach: Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
B.Cost approach: Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).
C.Income approach: Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based upon market expectations, including present value techniques, option-pricing and excess earnings models.
Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value
The carrying amounts of our financial instruments, including accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The fair value of investments approximates cost due to their short-term nature and fixed interest rates. The estimated fair value of the long-term debt, not recorded at fair value, are recorded at cost or amortized cost, which was deemed to estimate fair value.
NOTE 5: LEASES
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception and whether the arrangement is classified as an operating or finance lease. At commencement of the lease, we record a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability in the balance sheet based on the present value of lease payments over the term of the arrangement. ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. If the implicit rate is not readily determinable in the contract, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Contract terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease, and, when we deem it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option, it is included in the ROU asset and liability.
Operating leases reflect lease expense on a straight-line basis, while any finance leases result in the separate presentation of interest expense on the lease liability and amortization expense of the ROU asset.
In August 2024, we entered into an operating lease for a new location for our corporate headquarters and manufacturing and research operations. This operating lease commenced in April 2025 and expires in 2035. The previous operating lease for our corporate headquarters expired in November 2024 and the previous operating lease for our manufacturing and research operations expired in May 2025.
The components of lease cost are as follows (in thousands):
Years Ended December 31,
Operating lease cost $ 250 $ 217
Short-term lease cost (1) 111 19
Variable lease cost (2) 33 34

NOTE 6: STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
In 2018, our stockholders approved the adoption of the SenesTech, Inc. 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”). The 2018 Plan has since been amended and restated on certain occasions, most recently on June 23, 2023, when our stockholders approved an increase to the total number of authorized shares to 207,071 shares of common stock.
Stock options are generally issued with a per share exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock at the date of grant. Options granted generally vest ratably over a 1- to 3-year period coinciding with their respective service periods, with terms generally of ten years. Certain stock option awards provide for accelerated vesting upon a change in control.
As of December 31, 2025, we had 32,266 shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2018 Plan.
Contingent Stock Options
On October 15, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the grant of stock options to purchase up to 420,000 shares of common stock to the Company’s Board members pursuant to a proposed amendment to the 2018 Plan (the “Contingent Stock Options”). The Board intends to propose to amend the 2018 Plan to increase the number of shares available for issuance thereunder to ensure that the Company has sufficient shares to attract, retain, and motivate key employees and directors.
The Contingent Stock Options have an exercise price of $4.05 per share, vest in four equal installments of 25% on each of January 15, 2026, April 15, 2026, July 15, 2026, and October 15, 2026, and have a contractual term expiring October 15, 2035. The grants are contingent upon stockholder approval of the amended 2018 Plan by October 15, 2026. If such approval is not obtained by that date, the Contingent Stock Options will be rescinded, terminated, and deemed void ab initio, as if the grant had never occurred.
As of December 31, 2025, the Contingent Stock Options remained outstanding in form. Under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, a contingency is substantive if (i) achievement is not assured at the grant date; (ii) there is meaningful uncertainty about whether it will be met; (iii) failure is plausible, based on facts and circumstances; and (iv) the conditions requires performance outcomes. Accordingly, no accounting recognition was recorded because the arrangement did not meet the definition of a grant date under ASC 718 due to the substantive contingency of stockholder approval.
Stock Options
We measure the fair value of stock options with service-based vesting criteria to employees, directors and consultants on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes valuation model requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions, including assumptions related to the expected price volatility of our stock, the expected period during which the options will be outstanding, the rate of return on risk-free investments, and the expected dividend yield for our stock.
F-16

SENESTECH, INC.

Fair value of options granted is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:
Risk-free interest rate 4.7 % 3.8 %
Expected dividend yield — % — %
Expected term (in years) 10.0 10.0
The weighted average fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $3.08 and $2.73 per share, respectively. The risk-free interest rate is estimated using treasury bill interest rates. The expected dividend yield is zero as we have not paid any dividends to date and do not expect to pay dividends in the future. Expected volatility is estimated based on the historical volatility of our common stock over the expected term as this represents our best estimate of future volatility. We use the “simplified method” to estimate expected term. Under the simplified method, an option’s expected term is calculated as the time until expiration.

A valuation allowance has been recognized to offset the net deferred tax assets as realization of such deferred tax assets have not met the more likely than not threshold.
As of December 31, 2025, we had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $103.0 million and $90.0 million, respectively, not considering the Internal Revenue Code Section 382 annual limitation discussed below. The federal loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2029, unless previously utilized. In addition, we have approximately $58.6 million of the total $103.0 million of net operating losses that do not expire, as these losses were generated after the law change introduced as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The state net operating losses begin to expire if not utilized by 2045.
Additionally, the utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards could be subject to an annual limitation under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and similar state tax provisions due to ownership change limitations that have occurred previously or that could occur in the future. These ownership changes limit the amount of net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes that can be utilized to offset future taxable income and tax, respectively. In general, an ownership change, as defined by Sections 382 and 383, results from transactions increasing ownership of certain stockholders or public groups in the stock of the corporation by more than 50 percentage points over a three-year period. We have not conducted an analysis of an ownership change under Section 382. If we experience an ownership change, our use of our pre-change net operating losses and other tax attributes to offset post-change taxable income or taxes could be limited.
We did not have any unrecognized tax benefits at the beginning and end of the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
We file income tax returns in the United States and Arizona with general statutes of limitations of three and four years, respectively. Due to net operating losses incurred, our tax returns from 2005 to date are subject to examination by taxing authorities. Our policy is to recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense. As of December 31, 2025, we had no interest or penalties accrued related to uncertain tax positions.

We are authorized to issue 100 million shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. Stockholders of common stock have unlimited voting rights and are entitled to receive the net assets of the Company upon dissolution, subject to the rights of the preferred stockholders, if any.
In June 2024, we entered into an at-the-market offering arrangement with a sales agent, pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time and at our sole discretion, shares of our common stock in transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ATM Facility”). As of December 31, 2025, there was approximately $7.5 million of capacity available under the ATM Facility.
We had the following common stock transactions in 2025 and 2024:

NOTE 10: SEGMENT INFORMATION
We operate in a single operating segment: the formulation, development, marketing and sale of fertility control products for use in managing pest populations. This single operating segment has been identified based on our internal management structure and reporting to our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), our Chief Executive Officer.
Our CODM evaluates segment performance based on the revenues, gross profit and operating loss of the segment and uses internal financial statements to make decisions regarding resource allocation. Revenues, gross profit and operating loss used by the CODM are presented on our accompanying statement of operations. The measure of segment assets is represented as total assets presented on our accompanying balance sheets. There are no intersegment revenues, as all transactions are conducted within the one operating segment.
We have not identified any reportable segments other than the single operating segment discussed.

NOTE 11: LOSS PER SHARE

stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares used in the basic loss per share calculation plus potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period determined using the treasury stock method. Warrants and stock options are considered to be potentially dilutive securities but have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share attributable to common stockholders because their effect would be anti-dilutive given the net loss reported for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Therefore, basic and diluted loss per share was the same for all periods presented.
The following shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share:

NOTE 12: CONTINGENCIES
In December 2024, Liphatech Inc. (“Liphatech”) commenced an action against us in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin Division. The complaint alleged, among other things, breach of contract, misappropriation of trade secrets, unfair competition, and unjust enrichment. These claims are based on allegations that we misappropriated and utilized proprietary information and trade secrets of Liphatech. The complaint also alleged that we breached a non-disclosure agreement that we had entered into with Liphatech. The complaint sought unspecified damages as well as injunctive relief. In March 2026, this matter was settled, see Note 14, Subsequent Events.
In addition to the matter described above, we may be subject to other legal proceedings and claims arising from contracts or other matters from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Management is not aware of any other pending or threatened litigation where the ultimate disposition or resolution could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
NOTE 13: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Related party transactions are conducted in the normal course of business and, unless otherwise noted, are measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties. In connection with a consulting agreement an aggregate of $24,000 in cash payments were made during 2025 to Hustle and Flower LLC, of which a member of our board serves as chief executive officer. There were no related party transactions for 2024.
NOTE 14: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Since December 31, 2025, we have issued 80,411 shares of common stock pursuant to the ATM Facility for gross proceeds of $182,000.
In March 2026, the parties in the Liphatech legal matter discussed in Note 12, Contingencies, have resolved all disputes between them in a manner satisfactory to all involved. All litigation has been dismissed and cannot be reinstated.
We have evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through March 12, 2026, the date at which the financial statements were issued, and determined that there were no other items that require adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In connection with the preparation of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as of December 31, 2025, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2025.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Management is committed to continue monitoring our internal controls over financial reporting and will modify or implement additional controls and procedures that may be required to ensure the ongoing integrity of our consolidated financial statements.
With the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. In making this assessment, the Company used the framework established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management has concluded that internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025 based on those criteria.
This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm due to our status as a non-accelerated filer.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2025, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
