Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Nature of the Business	Nature of the Business Organization Entrada Therapeutics, Inc. (Entrada or the Company) aims to transform the lives of patients by establishing Endosomal Escape Vehicle (EEV TM ) therapeutics as a new class of medicines and to become the world’s foremost intracellular therapeutics company. The Company was incorporated in Delaware on September 22, 2016 and its principal offices are located in Boston, Massachusetts. Liquidity and Capital Resources Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its resources to its research and development efforts relating to its proprietary, highly versatile and modular EEV platform (EEV Platform), advancing development of its portfolio of programs and general and administrative support for these operations, including raising capital. The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, technical risks associated with the successful research, development and manufacturing of therapeutic candidates, development by competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, and the ability to secure additional capital to fund operations. Therapeutic candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval prior to commercialization. These efforts will require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel and infrastructure. Even if the Company’s product development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will realize revenue from product sales. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 205-40, Going Concern, the Company evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company has incurred losses since its inception, including losses of $44.9 million and $18.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $138.5 million. To date, the Company has funded its operations primarily through the sale of equity securities. The Company expects to continue to generate operating losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future. The Company expects that its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $244.3 million as of June 30, 2022 will be sufficient to fund its operations and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company will need additional financing to support its continuing operations and pursue its business strategy and may pursue additional cash resources through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances, licensing, or other arrangements. The Company may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other agreements when needed or on favorable terms or at all. The inability to raise capital as and when needed would have a negative impact on the Company’s financial condition and its ability to pursue its business strategy. The Company will need to generate significant revenue to achieve profitability, and it may never do so.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are consistent with those discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (Annual Report) , except as noted immediately below. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) and Accounting Standards Update (ASU) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual financial statements, except for the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) , as discussed further in Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Note 11 Leases . Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted, as is permitted by GAAP. These condensed consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2022, and results of operations for the interim periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 . The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report. Restricted Cash Restricted cash represents collateral provided for a letter of credit issued as a security deposit in connection with the Company’s lease of its corporate facilities located at One Design Center Place, Boston, Massachusetts. A reconciliation of the cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the balance sheet that sum to the total of the same amounts shown in the statement of cash flows is as follows (in thousands): June 30, December 31, Cash and cash equivalents $ 90,867 $ 291,064 Restricted cash 3,950 — Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 94,817 $ 291,064 Marketable Securities Investments in marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are measured and reported at fair value using quoted prices in active markets for similar securities. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Premiums or discounts from par value are amortized to investment income over the life of the underlying investment. All of the Company’s available-for-sale securities are available to the Company for use in current operations. As a result, the Company classified all of these securities as current assets even though the stated maturity of some individual securities may be one year or more beyond the balance sheet date. Realized gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method and are included in other income. The Company reviews investments in marketable securities for other-than-temporary impairment whenever the fair value of the investment is less than the cost and evidence indicates that an investment’s carrying amount is not recoverable within a reasonable period of time. To determine whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, the Company considers whether it has an intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell, the investment before recovery of the investment’s cost basis. Evidence considered in this assessment includes reasons for the impairment, the severity and duration of the impairment and changes in value subsequent to the end of the period. To date, the Company has not recorded any credit losses on its available-for-sale securities. Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss includes net loss and other comprehensive income (loss). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, comprehensive loss consists of net loss and changes in unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities. Comprehensive loss was equal to net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes all existing lease guidance. This guidance offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. The new standard requires lessees to recognize an operating lease with a term greater than one year on their balance sheets as a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability, measured at the present value of the lease payments. Lessees are required to classify leases as either finance or operating leases. If the lease is effectively a financed-purchase by the lessee, the lease is classified as a financing lease; otherwise the lease is classified as an operating lease. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Topic 842 provides accounting guidance for transactions that meet specific criteria for a leaseback transaction. If the criteria are not met, the transaction is considered a “failed sale” and the transaction must be accounted for as a financing arrangement. For EGCs, such as the Company, ASU 2016-02, as amended, is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Prior to January 1, 2022, the Company accounted for leases pursuant to ASC 840, Leases . At lease inception, the Company determined if an arrangement was an operating or capital lease. For operating leases, the Company recognized rent expense, inclusive of rent escalations, holidays and lease incentives, on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The difference between rent expense recorded and the amount paid was recorded as deferred rent. The Company classified deferred rent as current and non-current liabilities based on the portion of the deferred rent that was scheduled to mature within the next twelve months. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective approach and utilizing the effective date as its date of initial application. At contract inception, the Company determines whether an arrangement contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present in the arrangement. The lease is assessed for classification as either an operating or finance lease at the lease commencement date, defined as the date on which the leased asset is made available for use by the Company, based on the economic characteristics of the lease. The Company has elected to apply the package of practical expedients requiring no reassessment of whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, the lease classification of any expired or existing leases, or the capitalization of initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company has elected to take advantage of the short-term lease exemption, which allows for only leases with a term greater than one year to be recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as right-of-use assets, classified as non-current assets, and operating lease liabilities, classified as current and non-current liabilities. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use assets are initially recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected remaining lease term. Certain adjustments to the right-of-use asset may be required for items such as incentives received. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As a result, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate to discount lease payments, which reflects the fixed rate at which the Company could borrow on a collateralized basis the amount of the lease payments in the same currency, for a similar term, in a similar economic environment. To estimate its incremental borrowing rate, a credit rating applicable to the Company is estimated using a synthetic credit rating analysis since the Company does not currently have a rating agency-based credit rating. In transition to ASC 842, the Company utilized the remaining lease term of its leases in determining the appropriate incremental borrowing rates. Prospectively, the Company will adjust the right-of-use assets for straight-line rent expense or any incentives received and remeasure the lease liability at the net present value using the same incremental borrowing rate that was in effect as of the lease commencement or transition date. Components of a lease are split into three categories: lease components, non-lease components, and non-components. The fixed and in-substance fixed contract consideration (including any consideration related to non-components) are allocated based on the respective relative fair values to the lease components and non-lease components. The Company has elected to account for lease and associated non-lease components together as a single lease component for all underlying assets and allocate all of the contract consideration to the lease component only. Assumptions made by the Company at the commencement date are re-evaluated upon occurrence of certain events, including a lease modification. A lease modification results in a separate contract when the modification grants the lessee an additional right of use not included in the original lease and when lease payments increase commensurate with the standalone price for the additional right of use. When a lease modification results in a separate contract, it is accounted for in the same manner as a new lease. The Company assesses its right-of-use assets for impairment in a manner consistent with its assessment for long-lived assets held and used in operations. As a result of the adoption of ASC 842, the Company recorded (i) an operating lease liability of $33.4 million determined using an incremental borrowing rate as of the effective adoption date and (ii) an operating lease right-of-use asset of $33.0 million, net of the unamortized balance of prepaid/accrued rent as of the transition date. There was no impact to the Company’s results of operations and cash flows from operations other than changes to include the presentation of changes in the right-of-use asset and lease liability in the statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12), which is intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends certain aspects of the existing guidance to improve consistent application. For EGCs, such as the Company, ASU 2019-12 is effective beginning January 1, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 on January 1, 2022. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

The Company believes that any unrealized losses associated with the decline in value of its securities is temporary and primarily related to the change in market interest rates since purchase, and believes that it is more likely than not that it will be able to hold its debt securities to maturity. Therefore, the Company anticipates a full recovery of the amortized cost basis of its debt securities at maturity. Securities are evaluated for impairment at the end of each reporting period. The Company did not record any impairment related to its available-for-sale securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Cash received from employee exercises of unvested options is included in current liabilities on the balance sheet. Amounts recorded are reclassified to common stock and additional paid-in capital as the shares vest. Vesting can occur in the year of exercise and thereafter. There were 81,794 and 111,756 unvested shares related to early exercises of stock options as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the liability associated with the unvested early exercise of stock options was $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Stock Options The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity during the six months ended June 30, 2022: Number of Weighted‑ Outstanding as of December 31, 2021 3,461,870 $ 10.38 Granted 1,150,523 11.04 Exercised (30,150) 2.01 Forfeited (46,522) 11.73 Outstanding as of June 30, 2022 4,535,721 $ 10.59 Exercisable as of June 30, 2022 (1) 2,471,102 $ 6.79 (1) This represents the number of vested and unvested options exercisable as of June 30, 2022. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $7.00 per share and $5.35 per share, respectively. As of June 30, 2022, there was $24.7 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.16 years. Restricted Stock Units During the six months ended June 30, 2022, restricted stock units (RSUs) were granted to employees with vesting conditions based on continued service over time. Accordingly, stock-based compensation expense for such awards is recognized using a straight-line attribution model over the vesting term of each RSU. The fair value of each RSU is based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. A summary of restricted stock activity during the six months ended June 30, 2022 is as follows : Shares Weighted‑ Unvested as of December 31, 2021 — $ — Issued 302,279 11.57 Forfeited (7,175) 11.57 Unvested as of June 30, 2022 295,104 $ 11.57 As of June 30, 2022, there was $3.1 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock that is expected to vest.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	Leases The Company’s operating lease activity is comprised of non-cancelable facility leases for office and laboratory space in Boston, Massachusetts. The Company entered into an operating lease for office and laboratory space in Boston, Massachusetts in February 2020, and entered into subsequent amendments in 2021. The amendments run co-terminus with the existing lease. The Company has the option to terminate the lease and amendments after November 30, 2023 without penalty. The Company has a total of 42,046 square feet licensed at this facility. Consistent with the conclusion under ASC 840, it is not probable that the Company will exercise this option to terminate the lease early and, therefore, lease payments through November 2025 are included in the right-of-use asset and lease liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company paid a security deposit of $0.8 million, which is recorded as a component of other non-current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The components of operating lease cost were as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Operating lease cost $ 2,295 $ 4,185 Variable lease cost — — Total lease cost $ 2,295 $ 4,185 Supplemental information related to operating leases was as follows: Other information Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Operating cash flows used for operating leases (in thousands) $ 4,070 Weighted average remaining lease term 3.4 years Weighted average discount rate 3.81% Future payments due under operating leases as of June 30, 2022 were as follows (in thousands): Maturity of Lease Liability As of June 30, 2022 2022 (excluding the six-months ended June 30, 2022) $ 4,504 2023 9,219 2024 9,494 2025 8,650 Thereafter — Total lease payments $ 31,867 Less: imputed interest (1,952) Present value of operating lease liabilities $ 29,915 On March 16, 2022, the Company and IDB 17-19 Drydock Limited Partnership, as landlord (Landlord), entered into a lease agreement (IDB Lease) with respect to approximately 81,442 square feet of office and laboratory space (Premises) in Boston, Massachusetts, which, when available for occupancy, will become the Company’s new consolidated headquarters location and supplement its existing space in Massachusetts. The term of the IDB Lease commences the date upon which the Landlord tenders possession of the Premises to the Company following the Landlord’s substantial completion of the initial build-out of the Premises (Commencement Date) and shall continue for a period of approximately 10 years, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of the IDB Lease. The Company has (i) the option to extend the IDB Lease for an additional period of five (5) years, and (ii) a right of first offer on adjacent space to the Premises, subject to the terms and conditions of the IDB Lease. As these options are not reasonably certain of occurring, they will not be included in the initial calculation of the Company's right-of-use asset upon lease commencement. The initial fixed rental rate is $0.5 million per month, which is for a 12 month period during which the base rent is payable for 65,000 square feet, and will increase 3% per annum thereafter for the entire 81,442 square feet leased. Base rent becomes due upon the earlier of (i) the Company’s occupancy of the Premises for use in its regular operations, or (ii) 10 months following the Commencement Date, provided that in the event the Landlord’s build-out of the Premises is not complete on such date, base rent becomes due upon substantial completion of such build-out. Under the terms of the IDB Lease, the Landlord will provide an allowance in an amount not to exceed $19.5 million (calculated at a rate of $240.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises) toward the cost of completing the tenant improvements for the Premises. In addition, the Company has the right to require the Landlord to provide an additional contribution in an amount not to exceed $1.6 million (calculated at a rate of $20.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises) toward the cost of tenant improvements to the Premises, which amount shall be repaid by the Company in an amount of equal monthly payments of principal and interest as would be necessary to repay a loan in the full amount of the additional contribution used by the Company, subject to an 8% annual interest charge, on a level direct reduction basis over a 120 month period. The Company will be required to pay its share of operating expenses, taxes and any other expenses payable under the IDB Lease. In connection with the execution of the IDB Lease, the Company executed a cash-collateralized letter of credit, which may be reduced in the future subject to reduction requirements specified in the IDB Lease therein. The cash collateralizing the letter of credit is classified as restricted cash on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) and Accounting Standards Update (ASU) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual financial statements, except for the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) , as discussed further in Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Note 11 Leases . Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted, as is permitted by GAAP. These condensed consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2022, and results of operations for the interim periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 . The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report.
Restricted Cash	Restricted CashRestricted cash represents collateral provided for a letter of credit issued as a security deposit in connection with the Company’s lease of its corporate facilities located at One Design Center Place, Boston, Massachusetts.
Marketable Securities	Marketable Securities Investments in marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are measured and reported at fair value using quoted prices in active markets for similar securities. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Premiums or discounts from par value are amortized to investment income over the life of the underlying investment. All of the Company’s available-for-sale securities are available to the Company for use in current operations. As a result, the Company classified all of these securities as current assets even though the stated maturity of some individual securities may be one year or more beyond the balance sheet date. Realized gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method and are included in other income. The Company reviews investments in marketable securities for other-than-temporary impairment whenever the fair value of the investment is less than the cost and evidence indicates that an investment’s carrying amount is not recoverable within a reasonable period of time. To determine whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, the Company considers whether it has an intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell, the investment before recovery of the investment’s cost basis. Evidence considered in this assessment includes reasons for the impairment, the severity and duration of the impairment and changes in value subsequent to the end of the period. To date, the Company has not recorded any credit losses on its available-for-sale securities.
Comprehensive Loss	Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss includes net loss and other comprehensive income (loss). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, comprehensive loss consists of net loss and changes in unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities. Comprehensive loss was equal to net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes all existing lease guidance. This guidance offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. The new standard requires lessees to recognize an operating lease with a term greater than one year on their balance sheets as a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability, measured at the present value of the lease payments. Lessees are required to classify leases as either finance or operating leases. If the lease is effectively a financed-purchase by the lessee, the lease is classified as a financing lease; otherwise the lease is classified as an operating lease. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Topic 842 provides accounting guidance for transactions that meet specific criteria for a leaseback transaction. If the criteria are not met, the transaction is considered a “failed sale” and the transaction must be accounted for as a financing arrangement. For EGCs, such as the Company, ASU 2016-02, as amended, is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Prior to January 1, 2022, the Company accounted for leases pursuant to ASC 840, Leases . At lease inception, the Company determined if an arrangement was an operating or capital lease. For operating leases, the Company recognized rent expense, inclusive of rent escalations, holidays and lease incentives, on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The difference between rent expense recorded and the amount paid was recorded as deferred rent. The Company classified deferred rent as current and non-current liabilities based on the portion of the deferred rent that was scheduled to mature within the next twelve months. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective approach and utilizing the effective date as its date of initial application. At contract inception, the Company determines whether an arrangement contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present in the arrangement. The lease is assessed for classification as either an operating or finance lease at the lease commencement date, defined as the date on which the leased asset is made available for use by the Company, based on the economic characteristics of the lease. The Company has elected to apply the package of practical expedients requiring no reassessment of whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, the lease classification of any expired or existing leases, or the capitalization of initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company has elected to take advantage of the short-term lease exemption, which allows for only leases with a term greater than one year to be recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as right-of-use assets, classified as non-current assets, and operating lease liabilities, classified as current and non-current liabilities. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use assets are initially recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected remaining lease term. Certain adjustments to the right-of-use asset may be required for items such as incentives received. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As a result, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate to discount lease payments, which reflects the fixed rate at which the Company could borrow on a collateralized basis the amount of the lease payments in the same currency, for a similar term, in a similar economic environment. To estimate its incremental borrowing rate, a credit rating applicable to the Company is estimated using a synthetic credit rating analysis since the Company does not currently have a rating agency-based credit rating. In transition to ASC 842, the Company utilized the remaining lease term of its leases in determining the appropriate incremental borrowing rates. Prospectively, the Company will adjust the right-of-use assets for straight-line rent expense or any incentives received and remeasure the lease liability at the net present value using the same incremental borrowing rate that was in effect as of the lease commencement or transition date. Components of a lease are split into three categories: lease components, non-lease components, and non-components. The fixed and in-substance fixed contract consideration (including any consideration related to non-components) are allocated based on the respective relative fair values to the lease components and non-lease components. The Company has elected to account for lease and associated non-lease components together as a single lease component for all underlying assets and allocate all of the contract consideration to the lease component only. Assumptions made by the Company at the commencement date are re-evaluated upon occurrence of certain events, including a lease modification. A lease modification results in a separate contract when the modification grants the lessee an additional right of use not included in the original lease and when lease payments increase commensurate with the standalone price for the additional right of use. When a lease modification results in a separate contract, it is accounted for in the same manner as a new lease. The Company assesses its right-of-use assets for impairment in a manner consistent with its assessment for long-lived assets held and used in operations. As a result of the adoption of ASC 842, the Company recorded (i) an operating lease liability of $33.4 million determined using an incremental borrowing rate as of the effective adoption date and (ii) an operating lease right-of-use asset of $33.0 million, net of the unamortized balance of prepaid/accrued rent as of the transition date. There was no impact to the Company’s results of operations and cash flows from operations other than changes to include the presentation of changes in the right-of-use asset and lease liability in the statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12), which is intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends certain aspects of the existing guidance to improve consistent application. For EGCs, such as the Company, ASU 2019-12 is effective beginning January 1, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 on January 1, 2022. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.
