* Expected timing of events throughout this press release is based on calendar year quarters. Fiscal Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Financial Results Revenue for the three months and twelve months ended November 30, 2023, was $15.2 million and $77.0 million, respectively, compared with $6.8 million and $38.6 million for the three and twelve months ended November 30, 2022, respectively. The increase for the twelve-month period was primarily due to a higher percentage of completion of performance obligations and an increase in the value of milestones achieved in the current period. The increase was also due to the receipt of $20.0 million related to the license option exercise payment from Gilead. During the year ended November 30, 2023, Nurix achieved research milestones under its collaborations with Gilead and Sanofi totaling $12.5 million and $7.0 million, respectively. Research and development expenses for the three months and twelve months ended November 30, 2023, were $49.7 million and $189.1 million, respectively, compared to $46.1 million and $184.5 million for the three and twelve months ended November 30, 2022, respectively. For the twelve-month period, there was an increase in compensation and related personnel costs and an increase in clinical costs as Nurix continued its clinical trial programs and ongoing patient enrollment, offset by a decrease in research related costs and in contract manufacturing. General and administrative expenses for the three months and twelve months ended November 30, 2023, were $10.8 million and $42.9 million, respectively, compared to $9.4 million and $38.0 million for the three and twelve months ended November 30, 2022, respectively. The increase for the twelve-month period was primarily related to an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expense and an increase in professional service costs related to the Pfizer collaboration agreement, offset by a decrease in outside consulting costs. Net loss for the three months and twelve months ended November 30, 2023, was $42.0 million or ($0.77) per share and $143.9 million or ($2.65) per share, respectively, compared with $46.7 million or ($0.87) per share and $180.4 million or ($3.71) per share for the three and twelve months ended November 30, 2022, respectively. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities was $295.3 million as of November 30, 2023, compared to $268.7 million as of August 31, 2023. About Nurix Therapeutics, Inc. Nurix Therapeutics is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of innovative small molecules and antibody therapies based on the modulation of cellular protein levels as a novel treatment approach for cancer, inflammatory conditions, and other challenging diseases. Leveraging extensive expertise in E3 ligases together with proprietary DNA-encoded libraries, Nurix has built DELigase, an integrated discovery platform, to identify and advance novel drug candidates targeting E3 ligases, a broad class of enzymes that can modulate proteins within the cell. Nurix’s drug discovery approach is to either harness or inhibit the natural function of E3 ligases within the ubiquitin-proteasome system to selectively decrease or increase cellular protein levels. Nurix’s wholly owned, clinical stage pipeline includes targeted protein degraders of Bruton’s tyrosine kinase, a B-cell signaling protein, and inhibitors of Casitas B-lineage lymphoma proto-oncogene B, an E3 ligase that regulates activation of multiple immune cell types including T cell and NK cells.
