Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Overview Calyxt, Inc. was founded in 2010 and incorporated in Delaware. Calyxt is a plant-based synthetic biology company. The Company leverages its proprietary PlantSpring ™ ™ Prior to its IPO on July 25, 2017, the Company was a wholly owned subsidiary of Cellectis. As of December 31, 2022, Cellectis owned 49.1 percent of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock. Cellectis has certain contractual rights as well as rights pursuant to the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, in each case, for so long as it maintains threshold beneficial ownership levels in the Company’s shares. See “Risk Factors—Although Cellectis and its affiliates hold less than a majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock, Cellectis possesses certain rights that prevent other stockholders from influencing significant decisions.” Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates The Company has prepared its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP or GAAP) and has included the accounts of Calyxt and its subsidiary. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, including those related to revenue recognition, the net realizable value of inventories, stock-based compensation, and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, and Investments All investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are accounted for as cash equivalents. The Company’s restricted cash balances are cash and cash equivalents deposited in an amount equal to the future rent payments as required under the Company’s equipment lease facility. The Company may request the return of excess restricted cash collateral annually in December. The amount of the restricted cash balance the Company expects to have returned in 2023 is reflected as a current asset. The Company periodically invests its cash in high grade, highly liquid securities, and investment funds. The Company considers securities purchased with more than ninety days to their original maturity at issuance to be short-term investments. These short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale The Company ensures the credit risk in this portfolio is in accordance with its internal policies and if necessary, makes changes to investments to ensure credit risk is minimized. The Company has not experienced any counterparty credit losses. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are unsecured and are recorded at net realizable value. The Company makes judgments as to its ability to collect outstanding receivables based upon patterns of collectability, historical experience, and its evaluation of specific accounts and will provide an allowance for credit losses when collection becomes doubtful. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition on an as-needed Inventory Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value and include all costs of seed production and grain the Company purchased as well as costs to store and transport the grain. As of December 31, 2020, inventory included the costs to process the grain into finished products. Consideration received from growers when they purchase seed is recorded as a reduction of inventory. The Company evaluates inventory balances for obsolescence or estimated net realizable value on a regular basis based on the age of the inventory and its sales forecasts. At each period-end, Prior to the commercialization of its high oleic soybean products, the Company expensed all grain costs as R&D. Forward Purchase Contracts Under the Company’s former go-to-market The seed contracts often required the Company to pay prices for the seed produced at commodity futures market prices plus a premium. The seed growers had the option to fix their price with the Company throughout the term of the agreement. The Company paid a portion of the seed cost in December each year and the remainder upon delivery in either the first or second quarter of the following year. The grain grower contracts required the Company to pay prices for all grain produced at commodity futures market prices plus a premium. The grain growers had the option to fix their price with the Company throughout the term of the agreement. The grain grower contracts allowed for delivery of grain to the Company at harvest, if so specified when the agreement was executed, otherwise delivery occurred on a date that was elected by the Company through August 31, 2021. The Company paid for grain within a contractually determined number of days following delivery and final pricing. Upon delivery, the inventory was carried at historical cost but sold at prevailing market prices. As a result, the Company entered into hedging arrangements by selling futures contracts which converted its market exposure to these fixed prices to floating prices. By executing these hedging strategies, the Company could closely match the expected economic terms of the grain sale with the market, which helped stabilize margins until such inventory was sold. The Company did not account for these economic hedges as accounting hedges. All unrealized gains or losses on outstanding hedging contracts were recognized in Cost of Goods sold. The Company expected that any gains or losses from these hedging arrangements would be offset by gains or losses on the grain inventories when such grain inventories were sold. Prior to August 1, 2020, the Company designated all of its commodity derivative contracts as cash flow hedges based on the nature of its business activities. As a result, all gains or losses associated with recording those commodity derivative contracts at fair value were recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI). The Company reclassified amounts from AOCI to cost of goods sold when the underlying products were sold to which those hedges related. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company reclassified a nominal amount from AOCI to cost of goods sold, and there were no such reclassifications in 2021 or 2022. Land, Buildings, and Equipment Land, buildings, and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Assets under capital lease are stated at the lesser of their net present value of future lease payments or fair market value. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. The cost and accumulated depreciation of property and equipment retired, or otherwise disposed of, are removed from the related accounts, and any residual values are charged to expense. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives as follows: Buildings and improvements 10-20 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of lease term or 15 years Office furniture and equipment 7 years Assets under capital lease 4-20 Computer equipment and software 3-5 Vehicles 3-6 Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company has a single asset group and reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of that asset group may not be recoverable. If the impairment tests indicate that the carrying value of the asset group is greater than the expected undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the asset group, further analysis is performed to determine the fair value of the asset group. To the extent the fair value of the asset group is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the amount the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset group. If the Company’s plans or intentions change with regard to a specific asset within the asset group, that asset’s remaining useful life is assessed, and depreciation is accelerated if necessary. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Fair value is measured using a discounted cash flow model or independent appraisals, as appropriate. The Company has not recognized any impairment losses in these consolidated financial statements. Revenue Recognition The Company accounts for a contract as revenue when it has approval and commitment to perform from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are established, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of the consideration is probable. Changes to contracts are assessed for whether they represent a modification or should be accounted for as a new contract. The Company considers the following indicators, among others, when determining if it is acting as a principal in the transaction and recording revenue on a gross basis: (i) the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good or service, (ii) the Company has inventory risk before the specified good or service has been transferred to a customer or after transfer of control to the customer and (iii) the Company has discretion in establishing the price for the specified good or service. If a transaction does not meet the Company’s indicators of being a principal in the transaction, then the Company is acting as an agent in the transaction and the associated revenues are recognized on a net basis. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the good or service has passed to the customer. The following indicators are evaluated in determining when control has passed to the customer: (i) the customer has legal title to the product, (ii) the Company has transferred physical possession of the product or service to the customer, (iii) the Company has a right to receive payment for the good or service, (iv) the customer absorbs the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the good and (v) the customer has accepted the good. The Company generally does not incur costs to obtain new contracts. Performance Obligations A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s contracts may contain multiple performance obligations if a promise to transfer the individual good or service is separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, is considered distinct. Performance obligations that are not considered distinct are combined with other goods or services in the contract until that combination meets the distinct criteria above. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company determines the standalone selling price of each performance obligation and allocates the total transaction price using the relative selling price basis. The following is a description of the principal goods and services from which the Company generates revenue: Product Sales Historically, the Company sold soybean grain, oil, and meal. The Company recognized sales revenue at the point in time that title transferred to the customer, which was based on shipping terms. Sales included shipping and handling charges if billed to the customer and were reported net of trade promotion and other costs, including estimated allowances for returns, unsalable products, and prompt pay discounts. Sales, use, value-added, and other excise taxes were not recognized in revenue. Trade promotions were recorded based on estimated participation and performance levels for offered programs at the time of sale. The Company generally did not allow a right of return. During 2021 and 2020, the Company sold soybean grain to a processor and subsequent to the sale they utilized the Company’s rented third-party storage facility to hold the grain until such time they requested it be delivered. The Company was responsible for all handling charges and delivery activities. In those instances, the Company recognized revenue from the sale of grain to the processor upon the transfer of the control of the grain, which was determined to be at the time of the issuance of the purchase order and assignment of warehouse receipts to the customer. The Company determined that the reason for the arrangement was substantive, in that the customer had requested the arrangement, the product was separately identified as belonging to the customer, the product was ready for physical transfer, and the Company did not have the ability to use the product or direct it to another customer. The Company concluded that any remaining performance obligations (e.g., for custodial services) were immaterial in relation to the contract. The Company concurrently accrued all estimated future storage, handling, and delivery costs associated with that sale. All arrangements of this nature were completed prior to December 31, 2021. In certain transactions occurring in the third quarter of 2020, the Company sold grain to a processor with a commitment to provide consideration to the processor in exchange for the soybean meal resulting from the grain crushing activity. The Company determined the consideration payable to the processor was not in exchange for a distinct good or service, as the soybean meal was considered highly interrelated to the grain because they both possess Calyxt specific genetic traits, and the transactions were entered into in contemplation of one another, and therefore, were not considered to be distinct within the context of the contract. For these transactions, the Company recognized revenue from the sale of grain in the amount of the final net cash settlement with the processor, as the consideration payable to the processor was treated as a reduction of revenue. Technology Licensing The Company recognizes revenue from license agreements, which may consist of nonrefundable up-front Nonrefundable up-front Annual licensing fee payments are generally associated with services in the contract and are recognized over time as the customer receives the benefits of the services. If necessary, the Company establishes and increases a contract asset as the revenue is recognized. For these types of payments, the Company recognizes revenue using an input method, such as the completed contract or time elapsed methods, or an output method, such as the work performed or units produced methods. The Company will apply each method of revenue recognition consistently for like contracts and assess any revenue estimates periodically for cumulative adjustments. In certain instances, the receipt of payments in these arrangements are dependent upon the achievement of certain scientific, regulatory, commercial, or other milestones. The Company recognizes milestone payments when the triggering event has occurred, there are no further contingencies or services to be provided with respect to that event, and the counterparty has no right to refund of the payment. Royalty revenues are expected to arise following the commercialization of products developed using the licensed technology by the counterparty to the license agreement. The royalties may be a percentage of sales or another measurement achieved by the licensee. Royalty revenues will be recognized at the later of (i) when the licensee is generating sales subject to royalty payments or (ii) the performance obligation to which the sales-based or usage-based royalties relates has been satisfied. Product Development Agreements The Company recognizes revenue from product development agreements, which may consist of nonrefundable up-front Nonrefundable up-front In certain instances, the receipt of payments in these arrangements are dependent upon the achievement of certain scientific, regulatory, commercial, or other milestones. Milestone payments are considered variable consideration which are evaluated against the Company’s performance obligations for determination of when it is appropriate to recognize revenue. For purposes of revenue recognition, the Company considers whether the performance obligation is achieved, which may be (i) when a triggering event has occurred, (ii) there are no further contingencies or services to be provided with respect to that event, and (iii) the customer has no right to require refund of their payment. The Company recognizes milestone payments as revenue when it is highly probable that any revenue recognized will not be subsequently reversed. Annual payments are generally associated with services in the contract and are recognized over time as the customer receives the benefits of the services. If necessary, the Company establishes and increases a contract asset as the revenue is recognized. For these types of payments, the Company recognizes revenue using an input method, such as the completed contract or time elapsed methods, or an output method, such as the work performed or units produced methods. The Company will apply each method of revenue recognition consistently for like contracts and assess any revenue estimates periodically for cumulative adjustments. Agreements for the performance of R&D services and cost reimbursements are recognized as revenue over time based on work performed. Collaborative Arrangements For arrangements that do not represent contracts with a customer, the Company analyzes the transaction to assess whether the arrangement involves joint operating activities performed by parties that are both active participants in the activities and exposed to significant risks and rewards that are dependent on the commercial success of such activities. The Company had no such arrangements as of December 31, 2022. Advertising Costs The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Research and Development Expenses The Company recognizes R&D expenses as incurred. These expenses consist of direct costs for R&D and R&D-related Patents The Company expenses patent costs, including related legal costs, as incurred. Costs to write and support the research for filing patents are recorded as R&D expenses in the statements of operations. Costs to maintain, in-license, Stock-Based Compensation The Company generally measures the fair value of employee and nonemployee stock-based awards on their grant date and records compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the related service period of the award, which is generally the vesting period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value its stock option awards. The Company generally measures compensation expense for grants of restricted stock units using the Company’s share price on the date of grant. The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model when estimating the fair values of PSUs. The Company estimates fair values and accounts for employee and nonemployee awards in a similar manner. Due to the Company’s limited history, it does not always have sufficient historical stock option activity to make predictive assumptions based solely on its stock or stock option activity for the Black-Scholes option pricing model. As a result, the Company may need to use data from other comparable public companies or alternative calculation methods to make predictive assumptions. The Company estimates its future stock price volatility using the weighted-average historical volatility calculated from a group of comparable public companies over the expected term of the option. The group of comparable public companies is determined by management on an annual basis. When selecting a comparable company, management considers relevant factors including industry and strategy, size, maturity, and financial leverage. The comparable companies used by management to calculate expected volatility may change from year-to-year The expected term of stock options is estimated using the average of the vesting tranches and the contractual life of each grant for employee options, or the simplified method, as the Company has limited historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior for its stock option grants. Due to the limited historical experience of the Company’s stock awards program, it has elected to account for forfeitures of awards as they occur. If an award is forfeited prior to vesting, the associated reduction in expense is reflected net in stock-based compensation expense in that period. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded in R&D and SG&A expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Income Taxes Current income taxes are recorded based on statutory obligations for the current operating period for the jurisdictions in which the Company has operations. Deferred taxes are provided on an asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when the Company believes it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. Foreign Currency Transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates effective on the transaction dates. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the period-end non-operating Foreign currency fluctuations affect the Company’s foreign currency cash flows related primarily to payments to Cellectis. The Company’s principal foreign currency exposure is to the euro. The Company does not hedge these exposures, and it does not believe that the current level of foreign currency risk is significant to its operations. Net Loss Per Share Due to the Company’s net loss position for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, all its outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, PSUs, and Common Warrants are considered anti-dilutive and excluded from the calculation of net loss per share. Accordingly, the treasury method was not used in determining the number of anti-dilutive stock options and restricted stock units. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, No. 2018-10, 2018-11, The Company adopted the New Lease Standard as of January 1, 2022, using the transition method which does not require revisions to comparative periods. The Company elected to implement the transition package of practical expedients permitted within the New Lease Standard, which among other things, allows it to carryforward the historical lease classification. In addition, the Company elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases and it also made an accounting policy election to not record leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on its consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s adoption of the New Lease Standard required it to remove the previously reported amounts for land, buildings, and equipment associated with its headquarters and laboratory facility lease as well as the associated liability. The Company assessed the elements of its lease agreement and upon adoption, recorded an operating lease associated with the sale leaseback of land component of the lease, and a second operating lease associated with the building component of the lease. The Company recorded operating lease assets and liabilities of $14.1 million within its consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2022. The New Lease Standard had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations or cash flows. The $0.8 million cumulative effect of the adoption of the New Lease Standard was recorded to stockholders’ equity. See Note 8 for further information regarding the Company’s leases. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, 2016-13). 2016-13 lifetime expected credit losses and corresponding recognition of allowance for losses on trade and other receivables, loans, and other instruments held at amortized cost. The ASU requires certain recurring disclosures and is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning on or after December 15, 2023. The Company is analyzing the impact of this standard on its results of operations and financial position.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Going Concern	2. GOING CONCERN The Company has incurred losses since its inception. The Company’s net loss was $16.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, and it used $19.4 million of cash for operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are its cash and cash equivalents, with additional liquidity accessible, subject to market conditions and other factors, including limitations that may apply to the Company under applicable SEC and Nasdaq Capital Market (Nasdaq) regulations, from the capital markets, including under the Open Market Sale Agreement SM As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $3.5 million of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. The Company’s restricted cash is associated with its equipment financing leases and was $0.1 million as of December 31, 2022, and will be returned following the payoff of the lease obligations in 2023. Current liabilities were $1.7 million as of December 31, 2022. On October 3, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to the Open Market Sale Agreement with Jefferies for the ATM Facility that enables it, subject to the applicable baby shelf rules described below, to offer and sell up to 15,661,000 shares of its common stock. At its discretion, the Company determines the timing and number of shares to be issued under the ATM Facility. During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company issued approximately 2.0 million shares of common stock under the ATM Facility for proceeds of $0.1 million net of commissions and payments for other share issuance costs. From December 31, 2022, through the date of this report, the Company has not issued any additional shares under the ATM Facility. During the February 2022 Offering, the Company issued 3,880,000 shares of its common stock, Pre-Funded Follow-On The Company has incurred losses since its inception and anticipates that it will continue to generate losses for the next several years. Over the longer term and until the Company can generate cash flows sufficient to support its operating capital requirements, it expects to finance a portion of future cash needs through (i) cash on hand, (ii) commercialization activities, which may result in various types of revenue streams from (a) future product development agreements and technology licenses, including upfront and milestone payments, annual license fees, and royalties; and (b) product sales from its proprietary BioFactory production system; (iii) government or other third-party funding, (iv) public or private equity or debt financings, or (v) the execution of an alternative strategic transaction pursuant to the board of directors’ ongoing evaluation process, or (vi) a combination of the foregoing. However, capital generated by commercialization activities, if any, is expected to be received over a period of time and near-term additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all. Although the Company has access to the ATM Facility, based on the Company’s public float, as of the date of the filing of this Annual Report, the Company is only permitted to utilize a “shelf” registration statement for primary offerings, including the registration statement under which the ATM Facility is operated, subject to Instruction I.B.6 to Form S-3, one-third The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern will depend on its ability to obtain additional public or private equity or debt financing, obtain government or private grants and other similar types of funding, to consummate an alternative strategic transaction, attain further operating efficiencies, reduce or contain expenditures, and, ultimately, to generate revenue. The Company believes that its cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as of December 31, 2022, considering continuing actions taken to reduce its operating expenses to enable the Transactions to close, the legal settlement discussed in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, and funding to be provided by Cibus are sufficient to fund its operations through the second quarter of 2023. The Company’s management has concluded there is substantial doubt regarding its ability to continue as a going concern because it will need to raise additional capital to support its business plan for a period of 12 months or more from the date of this filing. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of the uncertainties described above. Management has implemented various cost reduction and other cash-focused measures to manage liquidity. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital in a sufficient amount or on acceptable terms or to consummate an alternative strategic transaction, the Company may have to implement increasingly stringent cost saving measures and significantly delay, scale back, or cease operations, in part or in full. If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of additional debt or equity securities, including as part of a strategic alternative, it could result in substantial dilution to its existing stockholders and increased fixed payment obligations, and these securities may have rights senior to those of the Company’s shares of common stock. Any of these events could significantly harm the Company’s business, financial condition, and prospects.

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value and Concentrations of Credit Risk	3. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE AND CONCENTRAIONS OF CREDIT RISK Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value and Financial Statement Presentation Financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable, and all other current liabilities have carrying values that approximate fair value. The Company measures Common Warrants on a quarterly basis. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tier hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value as of the measurement date as follows: Level 1: Fair values are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active trading markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2: Fair values are based on observable quoted prices other than those in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets. Level 3: Fair values are based on at least one significant unobservable input for the asset or liability. Fair Value Measurements and Financial Statement Presentation As of December 31, 2021, the Company had no financial instruments measured at fair value. The fair values of the Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value and their respective levels in the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2022, were as follows: December 31, 2022 December 31, 2022 Fair Values of Assets Fair Values of Liabilities In Thousands Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Other items reported at fair value: Common stock warrants $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 291 $ 291 Total $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 291 $ 291 The Company estimates the fair value of the Common Warrants as of the date of issuance and at the end of every fiscal period using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires it to make predictive assumptions regarding future stock price volatility and dividend yield. The Company estimates the risk-free interest rate based on the United States Treasury zero-coupon The estimated fair values of the Common Warrants, and the assumptions used for the Black-Scholes option pricing model were as follows: As of December 31, 2022 Estimated fair value of Common Warrants: $ 0.04 Assumptions: Expected term to liquidation (in years) 4.6 Expected volatility 85.0 % Risk-free interest rate 4.0 % As of December 31, 2022, the Company had no other financial instruments measured at fair value. The non-current non-current Concentrations of Credit Risk The Company invests its cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash in highly liquid securities and investment funds. The Company diversifies the risk associated with investing in securities by allocating its investments to a diverse portfolio of short-dated, high investment-grade securities, which it classifies as short-term investments that are recorded at fair value in its consolidated financial statements. The Company maintains the credit risk in this portfolio in accordance with its internal policies and if necessary, makes changes to investments to minimize credit risk. The Company has not experienced any counterparty credit losses. As of December 31, 2022, the Company did not hold any short-term investments.

Stock-Based Compensation	6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company uses broad-based stock plans to attract and retain highly qualified officers and employees and to help ensure that management’s interests are aligned with those of its shareholders. The Company has also granted equity-based awards to directors, nonemployees, and certain employees of Cellectis. In December 2014, the Company adopted the 2014 Plan, which allowed for the grant of stock options, and in June 2017, it adopted the 2017 Plan, which allowed for the grant of stock options, restricted stock units, PSUs, and other types of equity awards.

This expense will be recognized over 22 months on average. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards granted to employees of Cellectis as deemed dividends. The Company recorded deemed dividends as follows: Year ended December 31, In Thousands 2022 2021 2020 Deemed dividends from grants to Cellectis employees $ 90 $ (289 ) $ 1,168 Performance Stock Units From time-to-time, 2022 Grant In March 2022, the Company granted 530,000 PSUs under the 2017 Plan to five employees including four executive officers. The PSUs include three annual performance periods (2022, 2023, and 2024) and target performance levels for each of those periods linked to the achievement of Company objectives as determined annually for the respective period by the Compensation Committee. Once the annual objectives are approved, the associated expense will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the period through the determination date, which can be no later than March 15 of the following year. Earned awards will be settled in shares of Company stock no later than the March 15 determination date in the following calendar year. The grant date for the tranche of awards linked to 2022 performance is May 4, 2022. Determination of expense for the 2023 and 2024 tranches of PSUs will be made when the associated business objectives are determined. See Note 14 for more information about the vesting of these PSU awards. 2021 Grant In July 2021, the Company granted 600,000 PSUs under the Inducement Plan to Mr. Carr. The PSUs will vest if the Company’s stock remains above three specified price levels for 30 calendar days over the three-year performance period. The PSUs will be settled in unrestricted shares of the Company’s common stock on the vesting date. The estimated fair values of PSUs granted in 2021 and the assumptions used were as follows: Estimated fair values of performance stock units granted: At least $12 per share $ 2.16 At least $15 per share $ 1.89 At least $20 per share $ 1.55 Assumptions: Expected term (in years) 3.0 Expected volatility 90.0 % Risk-free interest rate 0.4 % The Company estimated the fair value of each tranche of the PSUs on the grant date using the Monte Carlo simulation pricing model, which required it to make predictive assumptions as to the expected term of the grant, future stock price volatility, and dividend yield. The expected term represents the expected service period of the PSUs granted. Expected volatility was based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the expected term. The Company estimates the risk-free interest rate based on the United States Treasury zero-coupon 2019 Grant forfeitures In June 2022, PSU grants made to two executive officers in 2019 were forfeited because the underlying performance criteria were not met. These PSUs contained a market condition and had a five-year service period. The Company will continue to expense these PSUs over the remaining service period for these two executive officers. During 2021, the Company recognized a benefit from the forfeiture of 166,667 PSUs held by Mr. Blome, its former Chief Executive Officer. PSU activity for the year ended December 31, 2022, is as follows: Number of PSUs Outstanding as of December 31, 2021: 745,000 Issued 530,000 Forfeited/canceled (145,000 ) Awarded — Outstanding as of December 31, 2022: 1,130,000 Stock-based compensation expense related to PSUs is as follows: Year ended December 31, In Thousands 2022 2021 2020 Stock-based compensation expenses $ 649 $ 16 $ 445 As of December 31, 2022, unrecognized compensation expense related to PSUs was $0.9 million. This expense will be recognized over 19 months on average.

The Company has established a full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets described above due to the uncertainty that enough taxable income will be generated in the taxing jurisdiction to utilize the assets. Therefore, the Company has not reflected any benefit of such deferred tax assets in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company has $239.2 million of tax loss carryforwards. Of this amount, $55.2 million are state operating loss carryforwards and $184.0 million are federal operating loss carryforwards. The federal carryforward periods are as follows: $142.0 million do not expire and $41.9 million expire between 2032 and 2037. The state net operating losses will expire between 2027 and 2041, with some amounts having indefinite carryover. The Company also has federal and state R&D credit carryovers of $2.6 million and $1.3 million, which will expire between 2032 and 2042. The Company is subject to federal income taxes in the United States as well as various state and local jurisdictions. The Company has reviewed its tax positions and concluded that no liability for uncertain tax positions is required as of December 31, 2022. The Company will classify any future interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense if incurred. The Company does not expect the amount of uncertain tax positions to change significantly in the next 12 months. The Company’s major taxing jurisdictions are in the United States, at both the federal and state levels. The number of years open for examination varies depending on the tax jurisdiction but are generally from three to five years.

Leases, Other Commitments, and Contingencies	8. LEASES, COMMITMENTS, AND CONTINGENCIES Litigation and Claims In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company reached a settlement with one of its technology vendors regarding alleged intellectual property infringement. As a result of the settlement, the Company received $0.75 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. See Note 14 for further information regarding this legal settlement. The Company is not currently a party to any other material pending legal proceedings. Sale-Leaseback of Headquarters and Laboratory Facilities In September 2017, the Company consummated a sale-leaseback transaction with a third party for its corporate headquarters and laboratory facilities in Roseville, Minnesota, which encompasses approximately 44,000 square feet including office and lab space, the first pilot BioFactory production system, greenhouses, and outdoor research plots. The Company is deemed the owner for accounting purposes. The lease has a te rm The lease commenced in May 2018. Under the lease, the Company pays an annual base rent of eight percent of the total project cost with scheduled increases in rent of 7.5 percent on the sixth, eleventh, and sixteenth anniversaries of the start of the lease commencement as well as on the first day of each renewal term. Currently, the Company pays an annual base rent of $1.4 million. The first increase will occur during 2023. The Company is also responsible for all operating costs and expenses associated with the property. If the landlord decides to sell the property, the Company has a right of first refusal to purchase the property on the same terms offered to any third party. Concurrent with entering the lease, Cellectis guaranteed the lease agreement for the Company’s headquarters. However, the Company previously agreed to indemnify Cellectis for any obligations under this guaranty, effective upon Cellectis’ ownership falling to 50 percent or less of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Accordingly, the Company’s indemnification obligation was triggered in October 2022. Prior to 2022, this lease was considered a failed sale leaseback based on the nature of the transactions and was reported as a financing-type lease. As discussed in Note 1, Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, the Company adopted the New Lease Standard as of January 1, 2022, using the transition method which does not require revisions to comparative periods. The Company elected to implement the transition package of practical expedients permitted within the New Lease Standard, which among other things, allows it to carryforward the historical lease classification. In addition, the Company elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases and it also made an accounting policy election to not record leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on its consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s adoption of the New Lease Standard required it to remove the previously reported amounts for land, buildings, and equipment associated with its headquarters and laboratory facilities lease as well as the associated liability. The Company assessed the elements of its lease agreement and upon adoption, recorded an operating lease associated with the sale leaseback of land underlying the headquarter facility, and a second operating lease associated with the building. The Company recorded operating lease assets and liabilities of $14.1 million within its consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2022. The New Lease Standard had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations or cash flows. The $0.8 million cumulative effect of the adoption of the New Lease Standard was recorded to stockholders’ equity. The impact of adoption of the New Lease Standard on the Company’s December 31, 2021, consolidated balance sheet was as follows: As Reported Adoption of As Adjusted Assets Land, buildings, and equipment $ 21,731 $ (16,543 ) $ 5,188 Operating lease right-of-use — 14,090 14,090 $ 21,731 $ (2,453 ) $ 19,278 Liabilities and stockholders’ equity Current portion of financing lease obligations $ 370 $ (4 ) $ 366 Other current liabilities 191 276 467 Financing lease obligations 17,506 (17,371 ) 135 Operating lease obligations — 13,814 13,814 Accumulated deficit (196,092 ) 832 (195,260 ) $ (178,025 ) $ (2,453 ) $ (180,478 ) Sale-Leaseback of Equipment The Company also has an equipment financing arrangement that is considered a financing-type lease which matures in 2023. The Company was required to deposit cash into a restricted account in an amount equal to the future rent payments required by the lease. As of December 31, 2022, restricted cash totaled $0.1 million, and will be returned following the payoff of the lease obligations in 2023. Recognition of Lease Liabilities The Company records its operating lease liabilities at the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. If the lease term includes options to extend or terminate the lease, those elements are included in the determination of lease term when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. The rate used to determine the present value of future lease payments is the rate stated in the lease agreement, or if not stated, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used, up to an effective rate that enables the lease liability to amortize to zero over the lease term. Rent expense for operating leases is recorded in SG&A expense in the consolidated statements of operations and in operating cash flows in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company also records operating lease ROU assets at an initial amount equal to the operating lease liability. Those ROU assets are amortized to lease expense within SG&A over the lease term using the effective interest method to ensure the ROU asset amortizes to zero concurrent with the associated liability, and the ROU asset amortization expense is also reported in operating cash flows in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company records its financing lease liabilities at the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. If the lease term includes options to extend or terminate the lease, those elements are included in the determination of lease term when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. The rate used to determine the present value of future lease payments is the rate stated in the lease agreement, or if not stated, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used, up to an effective rate that enables the lease liability to amortize to zero over the lease term. Expense associated with financing leases is recorded in interest, net in the consolidated statements of operations and in operating cash flows in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company is obligated under a non-cancellable The Roseville, Minnesota lease includes four options to each extend the lease for five years. These options to extend the lease are not recognized as part of the ROU assets and operating lease liabilities as it is not reasonably certain that the Company will exercise those options. The Company’s agreement does not include options to terminate the lease. Lease Expense The components of lease expense were as follows: Year Ended December 31, In Thousands 2022 2021 2020 Finance lease costs $ 75 $ 1,431 $ 1,435 Operating lease costs 1,548 46 83 Variable lease costs 942 NA NA Total $ 2,565 $ 1,477 $ 1,518 NA- Operating lease cost for short-term leases was not material for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Long-Term Debt	12. LONG-TERM DEBT The Company’s long-term debt was comprised of a $1.5 million promissory note pursuant to the PPP loan established by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act) implemented by the SBA. The Company received the funds under the PPP loan on April 19, 2020. Subject to certain conditions, the PPP loan and accrued interest were eligible to be forgiven in whole or in part by applying for forgiveness pursuant to the CARES Act and the Paycheck Protection Program. In order to be eligible for forgiveness, the proceeds of the PPP loan were required to be applied to certain eligible expenses, including payroll costs, interest on certain mortgage obligations, rent payments on certain leases, and certain qualified utility payments, with not more than 40 percent of the amount applied to non-payroll The Company applied the proceeds from the PPP loan toward qualifying expenses. On October 21, 2020, as modified December 29, 2020, the Company applied for forgiveness of the full principal amount and all accrued interest. On April 8, 2021, the Company was notified by the SBA that the full principal amount and all accrued interest of the PPP loan had been forgiven. Accordingly, the Company recognized a gain upon the extinguishment of the PPP loan for $1.5 million during the second quarter of 2021.

Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2022
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Use of Estimates	Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates The Company has prepared its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP or GAAP) and has included the accounts of Calyxt and its subsidiary. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, including those related to revenue recognition, the net realizable value of inventories, stock-based compensation, and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash	Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, and Investments All investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are accounted for as cash equivalents. The Company’s restricted cash balances are cash and cash equivalents deposited in an amount equal to the future rent payments as required under the Company’s equipment lease facility. The Company may request the return of excess restricted cash collateral annually in December. The amount of the restricted cash balance the Company expects to have returned in 2023 is reflected as a current asset. The Company periodically invests its cash in high grade, highly liquid securities, and investment funds. The Company considers securities purchased with more than ninety days to their original maturity at issuance to be short-term investments. These short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale The Company ensures the credit risk in this portfolio is in accordance with its internal policies and if necessary, makes changes to investments to ensure credit risk is minimized. The Company has not experienced any counterparty credit losses.
Accounts Receivable	Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are unsecured and are recorded at net realizable value. The Company makes judgments as to its ability to collect outstanding receivables based upon patterns of collectability, historical experience, and its evaluation of specific accounts and will provide an allowance for credit losses when collection becomes doubtful. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition on an as-needed
Inventory	Inventory Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value and include all costs of seed production and grain the Company purchased as well as costs to store and transport the grain. As of December 31, 2020, inventory included the costs to process the grain into finished products. Consideration received from growers when they purchase seed is recorded as a reduction of inventory. The Company evaluates inventory balances for obsolescence or estimated net realizable value on a regular basis based on the age of the inventory and its sales forecasts. At each period-end,
Forward Purchase Contracts	Forward Purchase Contracts Under the Company’s former go-to-market The seed contracts often required the Company to pay prices for the seed produced at commodity futures market prices plus a premium. The seed growers had the option to fix their price with the Company throughout the term of the agreement. The Company paid a portion of the seed cost in December each year and the remainder upon delivery in either the first or second quarter of the following year. The grain grower contracts required the Company to pay prices for all grain produced at commodity futures market prices plus a premium. The grain growers had the option to fix their price with the Company throughout the term of the agreement. The grain grower contracts allowed for delivery of grain to the Company at harvest, if so specified when the agreement was executed, otherwise delivery occurred on a date that was elected by the Company through August 31, 2021. The Company paid for grain within a contractually determined number of days following delivery and final pricing. Upon delivery, the inventory was carried at historical cost but sold at prevailing market prices. As a result, the Company entered into hedging arrangements by selling futures contracts which converted its market exposure to these fixed prices to floating prices. By executing these hedging strategies, the Company could closely match the expected economic terms of the grain sale with the market, which helped stabilize margins until such inventory was sold. The Company did not account for these economic hedges as accounting hedges. All unrealized gains or losses on outstanding hedging contracts were recognized in Cost of Goods sold. The Company expected that any gains or losses from these hedging arrangements would be offset by gains or losses on the grain inventories when such grain inventories were sold. Prior to August 1, 2020, the Company designated all of its commodity derivative contracts as cash flow hedges based on the nature of its business activities. As a result, all gains or losses associated with recording those commodity derivative contracts at fair value were recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI). The Company reclassified amounts from AOCI to cost of goods sold when the underlying products were sold to which those hedges related. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company reclassified a nominal amount from AOCI to cost of goods sold, and there were no such reclassifications in 2021 or 2022.
Land, Buildings, and Equipment	Land, Buildings, and Equipment Land, buildings, and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Assets under capital lease are stated at the lesser of their net present value of future lease payments or fair market value. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. The cost and accumulated depreciation of property and equipment retired, or otherwise disposed of, are removed from the related accounts, and any residual values are charged to expense. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives as follows: Buildings and improvements 10-20 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of lease term or 15 years Office furniture and equipment 7 years Assets under capital lease 4-20 Computer equipment and software 3-5 Vehicles 3-6
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition The Company accounts for a contract as revenue when it has approval and commitment to perform from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are established, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of the consideration is probable. Changes to contracts are assessed for whether they represent a modification or should be accounted for as a new contract. The Company considers the following indicators, among others, when determining if it is acting as a principal in the transaction and recording revenue on a gross basis: (i) the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good or service, (ii) the Company has inventory risk before the specified good or service has been transferred to a customer or after transfer of control to the customer and (iii) the Company has discretion in establishing the price for the specified good or service. If a transaction does not meet the Company’s indicators of being a principal in the transaction, then the Company is acting as an agent in the transaction and the associated revenues are recognized on a net basis. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the good or service has passed to the customer. The following indicators are evaluated in determining when control has passed to the customer: (i) the customer has legal title to the product, (ii) the Company has transferred physical possession of the product or service to the customer, (iii) the Company has a right to receive payment for the good or service, (iv) the customer absorbs the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the good and (v) the customer has accepted the good. The Company generally does not incur costs to obtain new contracts. Performance Obligations A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s contracts may contain multiple performance obligations if a promise to transfer the individual good or service is separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, is considered distinct. Performance obligations that are not considered distinct are combined with other goods or services in the contract until that combination meets the distinct criteria above. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company determines the standalone selling price of each performance obligation and allocates the total transaction price using the relative selling price basis. The following is a description of the principal goods and services from which the Company generates revenue: Product Sales Historically, the Company sold soybean grain, oil, and meal. The Company recognized sales revenue at the point in time that title transferred to the customer, which was based on shipping terms. Sales included shipping and handling charges if billed to the customer and were reported net of trade promotion and other costs, including estimated allowances for returns, unsalable products, and prompt pay discounts. Sales, use, value-added, and other excise taxes were not recognized in revenue. Trade promotions were recorded based on estimated participation and performance levels for offered programs at the time of sale. The Company generally did not allow a right of return. During 2021 and 2020, the Company sold soybean grain to a processor and subsequent to the sale they utilized the Company’s rented third-party storage facility to hold the grain until such time they requested it be delivered. The Company was responsible for all handling charges and delivery activities. In those instances, the Company recognized revenue from the sale of grain to the processor upon the transfer of the control of the grain, which was determined to be at the time of the issuance of the purchase order and assignment of warehouse receipts to the customer. The Company determined that the reason for the arrangement was substantive, in that the customer had requested the arrangement, the product was separately identified as belonging to the customer, the product was ready for physical transfer, and the Company did not have the ability to use the product or direct it to another customer. The Company concluded that any remaining performance obligations (e.g., for custodial services) were immaterial in relation to the contract. The Company concurrently accrued all estimated future storage, handling, and delivery costs associated with that sale. All arrangements of this nature were completed prior to December 31, 2021. In certain transactions occurring in the third quarter of 2020, the Company sold grain to a processor with a commitment to provide consideration to the processor in exchange for the soybean meal resulting from the grain crushing activity. The Company determined the consideration payable to the processor was not in exchange for a distinct good or service, as the soybean meal was considered highly interrelated to the grain because they both possess Calyxt specific genetic traits, and the transactions were entered into in contemplation of one another, and therefore, were not considered to be distinct within the context of the contract. For these transactions, the Company recognized revenue from the sale of grain in the amount of the final net cash settlement with the processor, as the consideration payable to the processor was treated as a reduction of revenue. Technology Licensing The Company recognizes revenue from license agreements, which may consist of nonrefundable up-front Nonrefundable up-front Annual licensing fee payments are generally associated with services in the contract and are recognized over time as the customer receives the benefits of the services. If necessary, the Company establishes and increases a contract asset as the revenue is recognized. For these types of payments, the Company recognizes revenue using an input method, such as the completed contract or time elapsed methods, or an output method, such as the work performed or units produced methods. The Company will apply each method of revenue recognition consistently for like contracts and assess any revenue estimates periodically for cumulative adjustments. In certain instances, the receipt of payments in these arrangements are dependent upon the achievement of certain scientific, regulatory, commercial, or other milestones. The Company recognizes milestone payments when the triggering event has occurred, there are no further contingencies or services to be provided with respect to that event, and the counterparty has no right to refund of the payment. Royalty revenues are expected to arise following the commercialization of products developed using the licensed technology by the counterparty to the license agreement. The royalties may be a percentage of sales or another measurement achieved by the licensee. Royalty revenues will be recognized at the later of (i) when the licensee is generating sales subject to royalty payments or (ii) the performance obligation to which the sales-based or usage-based royalties relates has been satisfied. Product Development Agreements The Company recognizes revenue from product development agreements, which may consist of nonrefundable up-front Nonrefundable up-front In certain instances, the receipt of payments in these arrangements are dependent upon the achievement of certain scientific, regulatory, commercial, or other milestones. Milestone payments are considered variable consideration which are evaluated against the Company’s performance obligations for determination of when it is appropriate to recognize revenue. For purposes of revenue recognition, the Company considers whether the performance obligation is achieved, which may be (i) when a triggering event has occurred, (ii) there are no further contingencies or services to be provided with respect to that event, and (iii) the customer has no right to require refund of their payment. The Company recognizes milestone payments as revenue when it is highly probable that any revenue recognized will not be subsequently reversed. Annual payments are generally associated with services in the contract and are recognized over time as the customer receives the benefits of the services. If necessary, the Company establishes and increases a contract asset as the revenue is recognized. For these types of payments, the Company recognizes revenue using an input method, such as the completed contract or time elapsed methods, or an output method, such as the work performed or units produced methods. The Company will apply each method of revenue recognition consistently for like contracts and assess any revenue estimates periodically for cumulative adjustments. Agreements for the performance of R&D services and cost reimbursements are recognized as revenue over time based on work performed. Collaborative Arrangements For arrangements that do not represent contracts with a customer, the Company analyzes the transaction to assess whether the arrangement involves joint operating activities performed by parties that are both active participants in the activities and exposed to significant risks and rewards that are dependent on the commercial success of such activities. The Company had no such arrangements as of December 31, 2022.
Advertising Costs	Advertising Costs The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.
Research and Development (R&D)	Research and Development Expenses The Company recognizes R&D expenses as incurred. These expenses consist of direct costs for R&D and R&D-related
Patents	Patents The Company expenses patent costs, including related legal costs, as incurred. Costs to write and support the research for filing patents are recorded as R&D expenses in the statements of operations. Costs to maintain, in-license,
Stock Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation The Company generally measures the fair value of employee and nonemployee stock-based awards on their grant date and records compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the related service period of the award, which is generally the vesting period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value its stock option awards. The Company generally measures compensation expense for grants of restricted stock units using the Company’s share price on the date of grant. The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model when estimating the fair values of PSUs. The Company estimates fair values and accounts for employee and nonemployee awards in a similar manner. Due to the Company’s limited history, it does not always have sufficient historical stock option activity to make predictive assumptions based solely on its stock or stock option activity for the Black-Scholes option pricing model. As a result, the Company may need to use data from other comparable public companies or alternative calculation methods to make predictive assumptions. The Company estimates its future stock price volatility using the weighted-average historical volatility calculated from a group of comparable public companies over the expected term of the option. The group of comparable public companies is determined by management on an annual basis. When selecting a comparable company, management considers relevant factors including industry and strategy, size, maturity, and financial leverage. The comparable companies used by management to calculate expected volatility may change from year-to-year The expected term of stock options is estimated using the average of the vesting tranches and the contractual life of each grant for employee options, or the simplified method, as the Company has limited historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior for its stock option grants. Due to the limited historical experience of the Company’s stock awards program, it has elected to account for forfeitures of awards as they occur. If an award is forfeited prior to vesting, the associated reduction in expense is reflected net in stock-based compensation expense in that period. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded in R&D and SG&A expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Current income taxes are recorded based on statutory obligations for the current operating period for the jurisdictions in which the Company has operations. Deferred taxes are provided on an asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when the Company believes it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Foreign Currency Transactions	Foreign Currency Transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates effective on the transaction dates. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the period-end non-operating Foreign currency fluctuations affect the Company’s foreign currency cash flows related primarily to payments to Cellectis. The Company’s principal foreign currency exposure is to the euro. The Company does not hedge these exposures, and it does not believe that the current level of foreign currency risk is significant to its operations.
Net Loss Per Share	Net Loss Per Share Due to the Company’s net loss position for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, all its outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, PSUs, and Common Warrants are considered anti-dilutive and excluded from the calculation of net loss per share. Accordingly, the treasury method was not used in determining the number of anti-dilutive stock options and restricted stock units.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, No. 2018-10, 2018-11, The Company adopted the New Lease Standard as of January 1, 2022, using the transition method which does not require revisions to comparative periods. The Company elected to implement the transition package of practical expedients permitted within the New Lease Standard, which among other things, allows it to carryforward the historical lease classification. In addition, the Company elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases and it also made an accounting policy election to not record leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on its consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s adoption of the New Lease Standard required it to remove the previously reported amounts for land, buildings, and equipment associated with its headquarters and laboratory facility lease as well as the associated liability. The Company assessed the elements of its lease agreement and upon adoption, recorded an operating lease associated with the sale leaseback of land component of the lease, and a second operating lease associated with the building component of the lease. The Company recorded operating lease assets and liabilities of $14.1 million within its consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2022. The New Lease Standard had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations or cash flows. The $0.8 million cumulative effect of the adoption of the New Lease Standard was recorded to stockholders’ equity. See Note 8 for further information regarding the Company’s leases. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, 2016-13). 2016-13 lifetime expected credit losses and corresponding recognition of allowance for losses on trade and other receivables, loans, and other instruments held at amortized cost. The ASU requires certain recurring disclosures and is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning on or after December 15, 2023. The Company is analyzing the impact of this standard on its results of operations and financial position.
