Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

Note 1. Description of the Business

Recursion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Recursion, the Company, we or our) was originally formed as a limited liability

company on November 4, 2013 under the name Recursion Pharmaceuticals, LLC. In September 2016, the Company converted to a Delaware corporation and changed its name to Recursion Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Recursion is a clinical stage TechBio company decoding biology to industrialize drug discovery. The Recursion Operating System (OS), a platform built across diverse technologies, enables the Company to map and navigate trillions of biological and chemical relationships within the Recursion Data Universe, one of the world’s largest proprietary biological and chemical datasets. The Company integrates physical and digital components as iterative loops of atoms and bits scaling wet lab biology and chemistry data organized into virtuous cycles with computational tools to rapidly translate in silico hypotheses into validated insights and novel chemistry.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of ~~$704.9~~$874.6 million. The Company expects to incur substantial operating losses in future periods and will require additional capital to advance its drug candidates. The Company does not expect to generate significant revenue until the Company successfully completes significant drug development milestones with its subsidiaries or in collaboration with third parties, which the Company expects will take a number of years. In order to commercialize its drug candidates, the Company or its partners need to complete clinical development and comply with comprehensive regulatory requirements. The Company is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties similar to those of other companies of the same size within the biotechnology industry, such as the uncertainty of clinical trial outcomes, uncertainty of additional funding and a history of operating losses.

The Company has funded its operations to date primarily through the issuance of convertible preferred stock and the issuance of Class A common stock (see Note 7,8, “Common Stock” for additional details). Additionally, we have received payments ~~of $180.0 million~~ from our strategic partnerships (see Note 8,9, “Collaborative Development Contracts” for additional details). Recursion will likely be required to raise additional capital. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, the Company did not have any unconditional outstanding commitments for additional funding. If the Company is unable to access additional funds when needed, it may not be able to continue the development of its products or the Company could be required to delay, scale back or abandon some or all of its development programs and other operations. The Company’s ability to access capital when needed is not assured and, if not achieved on a timely basis, could materially harm its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Recursion believes that the Company’s existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operating expenses and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2022.

It is management’s opinion that these condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial statements. ~~Revenues~~Revenue and net loss for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of future or annual results.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

New accounting pronouncements are routinely issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standard setting bodies and adopted by Recursion as of the specified effective date. The Company does not expect

For the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and 2022, interest income primarily related to earnings on cash and cash equivalents in money market funds. Interest income was included in “Other income, net” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 4. Acquisitions

Results of operations of acquired companies are included in the Recursion results of operations as of the respective acquisition dates. The purchase price of each acquisition is allocated to the net assets acquired based on estimates of their fair values at the date of acquisition. Any purchase price in excess of these net assets is recorded as goodwill. The allocation of purchase price in certain cases may be subject to revision based on the final determination of fair values during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date.

Valence Discovery Inc.

On May 16, 2023, Recursion acquired all of the outstanding equity interests in Valence Discovery Inc. (Valence), a privately-held machine learning (ML) / artificial intelligence (AI) digital chemistry company. The integration of Valence’s AI-based chemistry engine into Recursion’s operating system will allow Recursion to expand its technology-enabled drug discovery process. This will accelerate Recursion’s digital chemistry capabilities and its drug discovery process.

The acquisition of Valence was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. The aggregate upfront consideration for the acquisition of Valence consisted of 2,168,020 shares of Recursion Class A common stock, 4,390,939 shares of a subsidiary of Recursion, exchangeable for shares of Recursion’s Class A common stock, 792,011 shares issuable upon exercise of stock options held by Valence equity award holders and deferred liabilities for additional consideration. An insignificant number of the aforementioned shares of consideration had not yet been issued as of September 30, 2023.The final number of shares to be issued has not yet been finalized and so are subject to change.

The following table summarizes total consideration:


(in thousands)
Fair value of Recursion Class A common stock	$	11,122
Fair value of Exchangeable stock	22,526
Fair value of equity awards issued to Valance equity award holders	1,933
Deferred liabilities for additional consideration	358
Total consideration	$	35,939

Table of Contents

The following table summarizes the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:


(in thousands)
Cash	$	4,235
Other receivables	485
Intangible asset - technology	15,000
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	(872)
Deferred income taxes	(2,892)
Total identifiable net assets	$	15,956
Goodwill	19,983
Total assets acquired and liabilities assumed	$	35,939

The intangible asset related to Valence’s ML and AI digital chemistry platform. The estimated fair value of the intangible asset was determined using a cost approach. This valuation technique provides the fair value of an asset based on estimates of the total costs to develop the technology. Significant inputs used to determine the total cost includes the length of time required and service hours performed by Company employees. The technology intangible asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis over its four-year useful life.

Goodwill was calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized. The goodwill recognized represents the assembled workforce and expected synergies, including the ability to: (i) leverage Valence’s digital chemistry platform across Recursion’s business; (ii) leverage Valence’s ML and AI capabilities; (iii) integrate Recursion’s data and operating system into Valence’s platform; and (iv) accelerate Recursion’s pipeline. Goodwill was also impacted by the establishment of a deferred tax liability for the acquired identifiable intangible assets which have no tax basis. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

Subsequent to the acquisition date, the Company made certain adjustments to decrease the fair value of consideration transferred by $7.8 million, which also resulted in a decrease to goodwill of $7.8 million. These adjustments have been reflected in the tables above. The Company made these adjustments to reflect facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and did not result from intervening events subsequent to such date. These adjustments did not have a material impact on Recursion's results of operations.

Recursion’s condensed consolidated statement of operations included no net revenue and an immaterial operating loss associated with Valence’s operations. As the acquisition occurred in May 2023, the Company is still finalizing the allocation of the purchase price to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The allocation of the purchase price included in the current period balance sheet is based on the best estimate of management and is preliminary and subject to change. The primary areas subject to change relate to the valuation of the intangible asset, other receivables and deferred taxes. To assist management in the allocation, the Company engaged external specialists. The Company will finalize the amounts recognized as the information necessary to complete the analysis is obtained. The Company expects to finalize these amounts as soon as possible but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

Cyclica Inc.

On May 25, 2023, Recursion acquired all of the outstanding equity interests in Cyclica Inc. (Cyclica), a privately-held Company that has built a digital chemistry software suite which enables mechanism of action deconvolution and generative chemistry suggestions based on desired targets. Cyclica’s platform is expected to enhance the optimization of Recursion’s compounds for efficacy while minimizing liabilities through generative machine learning approaches.

The acquisition of Cyclica was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. The aggregate upfront consideration for the acquisition of Cyclica consisted of 5,706,089 shares of Recursion Class A common stock, cash payments, 1,000,873 shares issuable upon exercise of stock options held by Cyclica equity award holders and deferred liabilities for additional consideration. Approximately 194 thousand of the aforementioned shares of Class A common stock consideration had not yet been issued as of September 30, 2023.

The following table summarizes total consideration:


(in thousands)
Fair value of Recursion Class A common stock	$	49,415

Other liabilities, non-current	(139)
Total identifiable net assets	$	30,254
Goodwill	31,965

The intangible assets are related to Cyclica’s digital chemistry platforms. The estimated fair value of the intangible assets were determined using a cost approach. This valuation technique provides the fair value of an asset based on estimates of the total costs to develop the technology. Significant inputs used to determine the total cost includes the length of time required and service hours performed by Company employees. The technology intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their three-year useful lives.

Goodwill was calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized. The goodwill recognized represents the assembled workforce and expected synergies, including the ability to: (i) leverage Cyclica’s digital chemistry platform across Recursion’s business; (ii) leverage Cyclica’s ML and AI capabilities; (iii) integrate Recursion’s data and operating system into Cyclica’s platform; and (iv) accelerate Recursion’s pipeline. Goodwill was also impacted by the establishment of a deferred tax liability for the acquired identifiable intangible assets. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

Recursion’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 included immaterial net revenue and a $6.0 million operating loss associated with Cyclica’s operations. As the acquisition occurred in May 2023, the Company is still finalizing the allocation of the purchase price to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The allocation of the purchase price included in the current period balance sheet is based on the best estimate of management and is preliminary and subject to change. The primary areas subject to change relate to the valuation of the intangible assets, other receivables and deferred taxes. To assist management in the allocation, the Company engaged external specialists. The Company will finalize the amounts recognized as the information necessary to complete the analysis is obtained. The Company expects to finalize these amounts as soon as possible but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

The unaudited pro forma financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting and was based on the historical financial information of Recursion, Valence and Cyclica. In order to reflect the occurrence of the acquisition on January 1, 2022 as required, the unaudited pro forma financial information includes adjustments to reflect the incremental amortization expense to be incurred based on the fair values of the identifiable intangible assets acquired, the additional stock compensation expense associated with the issuance of equity compensation related to the acquisitions and the reclassification of acquisition costs incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the consolidated results of operations would have been had the acquisition been completed on January 1, 2022. In addition, the unaudited pro forma financial information is not a projection of the future results of operations of the combined company nor does it reflect the expected realization of any cost savings or synergies associated with the acquisition.

Note 5. Leases

The Company has entered into various long-term real estate leases primarily related to office, research and development and operating activities. The Company’s leases have remaining terms from under 1 year to 109 years and some of those leases include options that provide Recursion with the ability to extend the lease term for five years. The options are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.

For the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023,, Recursion entered into a lease ~~modification~~modifications resulting in an increase to the ~~related~~ right-of-use asset and lease liability of ~~$3.5~~$3.4 million. The ~~modification~~modifications had no impact to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In May 2022, the Company entered into a lease agreement for laboratory and office space in Toronto, Ontario with approximately ~~26,320~~28,110 square feet (the “Toronto Lease”). This lease was separated into multiple lease components based on the intended use of the portions of the space. For some of those components, the right of use began May 2022 when the control of the assets ~~were~~was obtained. The right of use ~~asset~~ for the remaining ~~lease~~ component ~~is expected to begin in~~began June 2023 when the ~~second quarter~~control of ~~2023~~.the asset was obtained. The Toronto Lease terms for each component are ten years with a five-year renewal option. The Toronto Lease includes provisions for escalating rent payments and a tenant improvement allowance of up to ~~$1.5~~$1.6 million. Total fixed payments are expected to be approximately ~~$10.8~~$11.1 million with additional variable expenses, including building expenses.

See Note ~~6, “Commitments~~7, “Commitments and Contingencies” for information on the Industry lease.

Note 8.9. Collaborative Development Contracts

Roche and Genentech

Description

In December 2021, Recursion entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Roche and Genentech (collectively referred to as Roche). Recursion is constructing, using the Company’s imaging technology and proprietary machine-learning algorithms, unique maps of the inferred relationships amongst perturbation phenotypes in a given cellular context with the goal to discover and develop therapeutic small molecule programs in a gastrointestinal cancer indication and in key areas of neuroscience. Roche and Recursion will collaborate to select certain novel inferences with respect to small molecules or targets generated from the Phenomaps for further validation and optimization as collaboration programs. Roche and Recursion may also combine sequencing datasets from Roche with Recursion’s Phenomaps and collaborate to generate new algorithms to produce ~~multi-modal~~multi-

Table of Contents

modal maps from which additional collaboration programs may be initiated. For every collaboration program that successfully identifies potential therapeutic small molecules or validates a target, Roche will have an option to obtain an exclusive license to develop and commercialize such potential therapeutic small molecules or to exploit such target in the applicable exclusive field.

Pricing

In January 2022, Recursion received a $150.0 million non-refundable upfront payment from the Company’s collaboration with Roche. Recursion is eligible for additional milestone payments based on performance progress of the collaboration. Each of the Phenomaps requested by Roche and created by Recursion may be subject to either an initiation fee, acceptance fee or both. Such fees could exceed $250.0 million for 16 accepted Phenomaps. In addition, for a period of time after Roche’s acceptance of certain Phenomaps, Roche will have the option to obtain, subject to payment of an exercise fee, rights to use outside the collaboration the raw images generated in the course of creating those Phenomaps. If Roche exercises its external use option for all 12 eligible Phenomaps, Roche’s associated exercise fee payments to Recursion could exceed $250.0 million. Under the collaboration, Roche may initiate up to 40 programs, each of which, if successfully developed and commercialized, could yield more than $300.0 million in development, commercialization and net revenue milestones for Recursion, as well as tiered royalties on net revenue.

Accounting

This agreement represents a transaction with a customer and therefore is accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606. Recursion has determined that it has three performance obligations, one related to gastrointestinal cancer and two in neuroscience. These performance obligations are for performing research and development services for Roche to identify targets and medicines. The performance obligations also include potential licenses related to the intellectual property. The Company concluded that licenses within the contract are not distinct from the research and development services as they are interrelated due to the fact that the research and development services significantly impact the potential licenses. Any additional services are considered customer options and will be considered as separate contracts for accounting purposes.

The Company has determined the transaction price to be $150.0 million, comprised of the upfront payment. Recursion will fully constrain the amounts of variable consideration to be received from potential milestones considering the stage of development and the risks associated with the remaining development required to achieve each milestone. Recursion will re-evaluate the transaction price each reporting period.

The transaction price was allocated to the performance obligations based on the estimated relative stand-alone selling price of each performance obligation as determined using an expected cost plus margin approach. The Company recognizes revenue over time based on costs incurred relative to total expected costs to perform the research and development services. Recursion determined that this method provides a faithful depiction of the transfer of control to the customer. This method of recognizing revenue requires the Company to make estimates of total costs to provide the services required under the performance obligations. Significant inputs used to determine the total costs included the length of time required, service hours performed by Company employees and materials

~~Table of Contents~~

costs. A significant change in these estimates could have a material effect on the timing and amount of revenue recognized in future periods. Recursion has estimated the completion of the performance obligations by 2025.

Bayer AG

Description

In August 2020, the Company entered into a Research Collaboration and Option Agreement (the Bayer Agreement) with Bayer AG (Bayer) for a five-year term pursuant to which the Company and Bayer may initiate approximately 10 research projects related to fibrosis across multiple organ systems, including the lung, liver and heart. Under the agreement, the Company contributed compounds from its proprietary library and Bayer contributed compounds from its proprietary library and will contribute scientific expertise throughout the collaboration. Under each research project, the Company will work with Bayer to identify potential candidates for development. Under the agreement, Bayer has the first option for licenses to potential candidates.

Pricing

In October 2020, the Company received a $30.0 million non-refundable upfront payment. Each such license could potentially result in option exercise fees and development and commercial milestone payments payable to the Company, with an aggregate value of up to approximately $100.0 million (for an option on a lead series) or up to

Table of Contents

approximately $120.0 million (for an option on a development candidate), as well as tiered royalties for each such license, ranging from low- to mid-single digit percentages of sales, depending on commercial success.

Accounting

The Company determined that it has one performance obligation under the agreement, which is to perform research and development services for Bayer. Recursion determined the transaction price to be $30.0 million, comprised of the upfront payment. The Company allocated the amount to the single performance obligation. The Company is recognizing revenue over time by measuring progress towards completion of the performance obligation. This method of recognizing revenue requires the Company to make estimates of the total time to provide the services required under the performance obligation. A significant change in these estimates could have a material effect on the timing and amount of revenue recognized in future periods. Recursion has estimated the completion of the performance obligation inby 2023.

Additional Revenue Disclosures

Recursion recognized ~~$12.1~~$10.1 million and $33.3 million of operating revenue during the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, respectively, primarily all of which was included in the unearned revenue balance as of December 31, 2022. Of the revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, $2.5 million ~~was~~and $7.5 million, respectively, were included in the unearned revenue balance as of December 31, 2021. Revenue recognized was from upfront payments received at the inception of the related contracts, which decreased the initial unearned revenue recognized. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, the Company had ~~$7.2~~$7.9 million of costs incurred to fulfill a contract on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet within “Other current assets.”

Unearned revenue was classified as short-term and long-term on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the Company’s estimate of revenue that will be recognized during the next twelve months.

Note 9.10. Stock-Based Compensation

In April 2021, the Board of Directors and the stockholders of the Company adopted the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2021 Plan). Under the 2021 Plan, 16,186,000 shares of Class A common stock were reserved. Additionally, shares were reserved for all outstanding awards under the previous 2016 Plan. The Company may grant stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and other forms of stock-based compensation.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, ~~20,652,818~~8,868,107 shares of Class A common stock were available for grant.

Note ~~10.~~11. Income Taxes

The Company did not record any U.S. income tax expense during the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and 2022. The Company has historically incurred operating losses and maintains a full valuation allowance

Table of Contents

against its net deferred tax assets. Foreign taxes were insignificant during the three and nine months ended ~~March 31, 2023.~~September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Net operating losses (NOLs) and tax credit carry-forwards are subject to review and possible adjustment by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and may become subject to annual limitation due to ownership changes that have occurred previously or that could occur in the future under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended and similar state provisions. These ownership changes may limit the amount of carryforwards that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income. In general, an ownership change, as defined by Section 382, results from transactions increasing the ownership of certain shareholders or public groups in the stock of a corporation by more than 50% over a three-year period. The Company ~~has not conducted~~is conducting a study to assess whether a change of ownership has occurred or whether there have been multiple ownership changes since ~~inception due to the significant complexity and cost associated with such a study.~~inception. If the Company has experienced a change of ownership, as defined by Section 382, at any time since inception, utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards or research and development tax credit carryforwards would be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382, which is determined by first multiplying the value of the Company’s stock at the time of the ownership change by the applicable long-term tax-exempt rate and then could be subject to additional adjustments, as required. Any limitation may result in expiration of a portion of the net operating loss carryforwards or research and development tax credit carryforwards before utilization. Further, until a study is completed and any limitation is known, no amounts are being presented as an uncertain tax position.

The Company files income tax returns in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Utah, California and Massachusetts. The Company is not currently under examination in any of these jurisdictions. The Company is subject to income tax examinations on all federal returns since the ~~2019~~2016 tax return.

Note ~~11.~~12. Net Loss Per Share

For the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and 2022,, Recursion calculated net loss per share of Class A, ~~and~~ Class B and Exchangeable common stock using the two-class method. Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares and the effect of potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities consist of stock options and other contingently issuable shares. For periods presented in which the Company reports a net loss, all potentially dilutive shares are anti-dilutive and as such are excluded from the calculation. For the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and 2022~~2022,~~ , the Company reported a net loss and therefore basic and diluted loss per share were the same.

The rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights, of the holders of the Company’s Class A, ~~and~~ Class B and Exchangeable common stock are substantially identical, except with respect to voting. As a result, the undistributed earnings for each period are allocated based on the contractual participation rights of the Class A, ~~and~~ Class B and Exchangeable common shares as if the earnings for the period had been distributed. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the undistributed earnings

Note ~~12.~~13. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:

•Level 1 — Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the company has the ability to access;

•Level 2 — Valuations based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in the market; and

•Level 3 — Valuations using significant inputs that are unobservable in the market and include the use of judgment by the company's management about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company is required to maintain a cash balance in a collateralized account to secure the Company’s credit cards. Additionally, the Company holds restricted cash related to an outstanding letter of credit issued by J.P. Morgan, which was obtained to secure certain Company obligations relating to tenant improvements. Recursion also holds restricted cash related to a Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation grant.

~~Cyclica Inc.~~

On May 8, 2023, Recursion and its indirect wholly owned subsidiary (the “Cyclica Purchaser”) entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which, subject to applicable closing conditions, the Cyclica Purchaser will, among other things acquire all of the outstanding equity securities of Cyclica Inc. (“Cyclica”) to be paid in the form of shares of Recursion Class A common stock (the “Class A Shares”), cash and the assumption by Recursion of outstanding options to purchase shares of Cyclica. Following the completion of the Cyclica Acquisition, Recursion would issue up to approximately 6.9 million Class A Shares in the Cyclica Acquisition (including Class A Shares issuable upon the exercise of options to purchase shares of Cyclica assumed by Recursion in the Cyclica Acquisition) based on a reference price of Class A Shares of $5.78 (the “Reference Price”), which is the volume weighted average price of Class A Shares over the 30 days ended May 5, 2023. The purchase price for the Cyclica Acquisition is subject to customary closing and post-closing purchase price adjustments, which may result in the issuance of additional or fewer Class A Shares. In addition, under the terms of the Cyclica Purchase Agreement, in certain circumstances Recursion may pay cash consideration to Cyclica shareholders in lieu of Class A Shares at a value based on the Reference Price, which may result in the issuance of fewer Class A Shares. Recursion expects to close the transaction in the second quarter of 2023.

Cyclica has built a digital chemistry software suite which enables mechanism of action deconvolution and generative chemistry suggestions based on desired targets. Cyclica’s platform is expected to enhance the optimization of Recursion’s compounds for efficacy while minimizing liabilities through generative machine learning approaches. Cyclica is located in Toronto Canada and the teams at Cyclica will be fully integrated into Recursion.

~~Valence Discovery Inc.~~

On May 8, 2023, Recursion and its indirect wholly owned subsidiary (the “Valence Purchaser”) entered into a definitive agreement (the “Valence Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which, subject to applicable closing conditions, the Valence Purchaser will, among other things, acquire all of the outstanding equity securities of Valence Discovery Inc. (“Valence”) to be paid in the form of (i) Class A Shares and shares of the Valence Purchaser

Overview

Recursion is a clinical stage TechBio company leading this burgeoning space by decoding biology and chemistry to industrialize drug discovery. Central to our mission is the Recursion Operating System (OS), a platform built across diverse technologies that enables us to map and navigate trillions of biological and chemical relationships within the Recursion Data Universe, one of the world’s largest proprietary biological and chemical datasets. We frame this integration of the physical and digital components as iterative loops of atoms and bits. Scaled ‘wet-lab’ biology and chemistry data built in-house (atoms) are organized into virtuous cycles with ‘dry-lab’ computational tools (bits) to rapidly translate in silico hypotheses into validated insights and novel chemistry. Our focus on mapping and navigating the complexities of biology and chemistry beyond the published literature and in a target-agnostic way differentiates us from other companies in our space and leads us to confront a fundamental cause of failure for the majority of clinical-stage programs - the wrong target is chosen due to an incomplete and reductionist view of biology. Our balanced team of life scientists and computational and technical experts creates an environment where empirical data, statistical rigor and creative thinking are brought to bear on our decisions.

We leverage our Recursion OS to enable three key value drivers:

1.An expansive pipeline of internally-developed clinical and preclinical programs focused on genetically-driven rare diseases and oncology with significant unmet need and market opportunities in some cases potentially in excess of $1 billion in annual sales

2.Transformational partnerships with leading biopharma companies to map and navigate intractable areas of biology, identify novel targets and develop potential new medicines that are further developed in resource-heavy clinical trials overseen by our partners

3.Development of one of the largest fit-for-purpose proprietary biological and chemical datasets in the world at a time when advances in AI paired with the right training data are creating disruptive value.

•◦~~Valence:~~ Valence is a ML/AI-native digital chemistry company which has pioneered the development of novel hybrid graph neural networks and transformers for state-of-the-art chemical property prediction. The small team at Valence has led a massive open-science movement with a network of academic collaborators at the pinnacle of machine learning, chemistry and other fields. Based in Montréal, where Recursion also maintains a ML research team, Valence will work on cutting-edge applied ML research across chemistry and biology. We believe that the technology they have built and will build will enable acceleration of our work at Recursion across many fields, beginning with generative design of new molecules, DMPK predictions and more. Combined with Recursion’s wet-lab data generation capabilities and oneTerms of the ~~largest relatable datasets~~Tempus Collaboration: Recursion entered into an agreement with Tempus to access its patient-centric data as part of a 5-year licensing agreement.

•~~Financial Impact~~Supercomputer Expansion: We have committed to working with NVIDIA to expand BioHive-1, our on-premise supercomputer. After the expansion, which will be completed in the first half of ~~Acquisitions:~~ ~~See Note 13, “Subsequent Events~~”2024, BioHive-1 computational capacity will increase by over 4x (adding more than 500 NVIDIA H100 GPUs to the ~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.~~more than 300 NVIDIA A100s already in place). We project that upon completion and benchmarking, BioHive-1 will be in the top 50 most powerful supercomputers in the world across any industry (according to the Top500 list) and will be the most powerful supercomputer owned and operated by any biopharma company. These additional computational resources will continue to support the construction of the largest foundation models across biology and chemistry using Recursion’s vast datasets and data generation capabilities as well as tools based on interactive large language models and autonomous agents.

•Foundation Models: Our supercomputer expansion is meant to build on the deployment of our first Phenomics Foundation Model, PHENOM-1, which is a vision transformer utilizing hundreds of millions of parameters trained on billions of biological images from our proprietary phenomics library. PHENOM-1 demonstrated the scaling hypothesis within a biological context, namely that larger models trained on more diverse datasets lead to increased performance and emergent properties. With our recent acquisitions of digital chemistry company Cyclica and the deep-learning research team at Valence Discovery (now Valence Labs), the vast patient-centric data from Tempus and our own growing proprietary multi-omic datasets, we anticipate the construction and application of more foundation models and large language models across biology, chemistry and translation. Together, we believe these increasingly sophisticated models will enable us to drive new, better programs into clinical development both in our own pipeline and with our current and future partners at scale.

We anticipate that we will need to raise additional financing in the future to fund our operations, including the potential commercialization of any approved product candidates. Until such time, if ever, as we can generate significant product revenue, we expect to finance our operations with our existing cash and cash equivalents, any future equity or debt financings and upfront, milestone and royalty payments, if any, received under current or future license or collaboration agreements. We may not be able to raise additional capital on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.

Components of Operating Results

Revenue

Operating revenue is generated through research and development agreements derived from strategic alliances. We are entitled to receive variable consideration as certain milestones are achieved. The timing of revenue recognition is not directly correlated to the timing of cash receipts.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists of the Company’s costs to provide services for drug discovery required under performance obligations with partnership customers. These primarily include materials costs, service hours performed by our

~~Table of Contents~~

employees and depreciation of property and equipment.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses account for a significant portion of our operating expenses. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Research and development expenses consist of costs incurred in performing activities including:

•costs to develop and operate our platform;

•costs of discovery efforts which may lead to development candidates, including research materials and external research;

•costs for clinical development of our investigational products;

•costs for materials and supplies associated with the manufacture of active pharmaceutical ingredients, investigational products for preclinical testing and clinical trials;

•personnel-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, bonuses and stock-based compensation for employees engaged in research and development functions;

•costs associated with operating our digital infrastructure; and

•other direct and allocated expenses incurred as a result of research and development activities, including those for facilities, depreciation, amortization and insurance.

We recognize expenses associated with third-party contracted services as they are incurred. Upon termination of contracts with third parties, our financial obligations are generally limited to costs incurred or committed to date. Any advance payments for goods or services to be used or rendered in future research and product development activities pursuant to a contractual arrangement are classified as prepaid expenses until such goods or services are rendered.

General and Administrative

We expense general and administrative costs as incurred. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of ~~salaries~~salaries; including employee benefits and stock-based compensation. General and administrative expenses also include facilities, depreciation, information technology, professional fees for auditing and tax, legal fees for corporate and patent matters and insurance costs.

Other Income, ~~(Loss),~~ Net

Other income, ~~(loss),~~ net consists primarily of interest earned on cash and cash equivalents.

Significant components of research and development expense include the following allocated by development phase: Platform, which refers primarily to expenses related to screening of product candidates through hit identification; Discovery, which refers primarily to expenses related to hit identification through development of candidates; and Clinical, which refers primarily to expenses related to development of candidates and beyond.

For the three and ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, the increase in research and development expenses compared to the prior period was due to increased platform costs as we have expanded and upgraded our capabilities in platform including our chemical technology, machine learning and transcriptomics platform. Additionally, for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 platform costs decreased due to a reallocation of spending to cost of revenue for our strategic partnerships.

These estimates are based on available historical information as well as future expectations and the estimates are inherently uncertain. The use of alternative estimates and assumptions could increase or decrease the estimated fair values, the amounts allocated to identifiable intangible assets acquired, future amortization expense and the value of goodwill.

See Note 2, “Basis of Presentation” in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information regarding recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates of our cash and cash equivalents. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, our cash and cash equivalents primarily consisted of money market funds. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest income sensitivity, which is affected by changes in U.S. interest rates. A

Table of Contents

hypothetical 100 basis point decrease in interest rates as of as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, would have an insignificant effect on net loss in the ensuring year.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

Our employees and our operations are primarily located in the United States and Canada and our expenses are generally denominated in U.S. and Canadian dollars. We also have entered into a limited number of contracts with vendors for research and development services that have underlying payment obligations denominated in foreign currencies. We are subject to foreign currency transaction gains or losses on our contracts denominated in foreign currencies. To date, foreign currency transaction gains and losses have not been material to our financial statements, and we do not have a formal hedging program with respect to foreign currency. A 10% increase or decrease in current exchange rates would not have had a material effect on our financial results during the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and ~~2022~~.2022.

Inflation Risk and Market Volatility

In recent months, inflation has continued to increase significantly in the U.S. and overseas resulting in rising costs for transportation, wages, construction and other goods and services. Inflation and supply chain disruptions have increased our overall operating expenses. In addition, the capital and credit markets have been experiencing volatility and disruption, which has exerted downward pressure on stock prices and credit capacity. There is no assurance that such markets will be a source of future financing for Recursion, nor that other funding sources would be available or sufficient, particularly if current levels of market disruption and volatility continue or worsen. Although we do not believe that the above conditions have materially changed our overall financial position, if our costs continue to increase, we may not be able to fully offset those increased costs through reduced spending or additional financing efforts and failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer (our Chief Executive Officer) and principal financial officer (our Chief Financial Officer), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management has evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives as management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit

~~Table of Contents~~

relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As of September 30, 2023, management is in the process of integrating the internal controls of the acquired businesses into Recursion's existing operations as part of planned integration activities. There ~~has been~~were no ~~change~~other changes in ~~our internal control over~~ financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
