| Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities | 4. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
The following tables present information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the level of the fair value hierarchy used to determine such fair values:
During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3.
The carrying values of the Company’s remaining current liabilities approximate fair value in the accompanying consolidated financial statements due to the short-term nature of those instruments.
Valuation of Acquisition-Related Contingent Consideration
The fair value measurement of the contingent consideration obligations is determined using Level 3 inputs and is based on a probability-weighted income approach. The measurement is based upon unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity based on the Company’s own assumptions.
The following table presents a reconciliation of contingent consideration obligations measured on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:
The fair value of the liability to make potential future milestone and earn-out payments was estimated by the Company at each reporting date based, in part, on the results of a third-party valuation using a discounted cash flow analysis based on various assumptions, including the probability of achieving specified events, discount rates, and the period of time until earn-out payments are payable and the conditions triggering the milestone payments are met. The actual settlement of contingent consideration could differ from current estimates based on the actual occurrence of these specified events.
At each reporting date, the Company revalues the contingent consideration obligation to estimated fair value and records changes in fair value as income or expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations may result from changes in discount periods and rates, changes in the timing and amount of revenue estimates and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving the various contingent consideration obligations. The Company has classified the contingent consideration as a long-term liability in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. See Note 14 for more information on contingent consideration.
Valuation of Contingent Stock Consideration
The contingent stock consideration liability at December 31, 2025 and 2024 is comprised of the fair value of potential future issuance of Class A common stock to CariCord participating shareholders pursuant to a settlement agreement signed during the year ended December 31, 2021. The contingent stock consideration liability was settled during the year ended December 31, 2025 with the issuance of shares of common stock. As a result, the contingent stock consideration liability balance was reduced to $0. The fair value measurement of the contingent stock consideration obligation was determined using Level 3 inputs and is based on a probability-weighted expected return methodology (“PWERM”). The measurement is largely based upon unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity based on the Company’s own assumptions.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the contingent stock consideration obligation measured on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:
The fair value of the liability to issue future shares of Class A common stock was estimated by the Company at each reporting date, and at the settlement date, using a PWERM based on various inputs and assumptions, including the Company’s common share price, discount rates, and the probability of achieving specified future operational targets.
At each reporting date, the Company revalues the contingent stock consideration obligation to estimated fair value and records changes in fair value as income or expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Changes in the fair value of the contingent stock consideration obligation may result from changes in discount rates, changes in the Company’s common share price, and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving specified operational targets. The change in the fair value of the contingent stock consideration obligation during the year ended December 31, 2025 was $27. The Company has classified the contingent stock consideration within accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Valuation of Short-Term Debt - Unaffiliated
The Company elected the fair value option to account for the Yorkville PPA signed on September 15, 2022 (see Note 10). As of December 31, 2023, due to the short-term nature of the debt, the fair value of the Yorkville PPA approximated the settlement amount, which was fully paid on January 17, 2024.
The following table presents a reconciliation of short-term debt obligations measured on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:
Yorkville Convertible Promissory Note
The Company elected the fair value option to account for the Yorkville convertible promissory note signed on March 13, 2024.
The fair values of the Yorkville convertible promissory note is based on valuations which employ a Monte Carlo model and a credit default model. The Company utilized Level 3 inputs in a probability weighted model based on outcomes of a default, repayment and conversion of the notes. The measurements are based upon unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity based on the Company’s own assumptions. The fair value of the Yorkville convertible promissory note on March 13, 2024, the date of issuance, was $2,993. The Yorkville convertible promissory note was fully converted into common shares during 2025. At the time of conversion, the fair value of the Yorkville convertible promissory note approximated the fair value of the conversion amount and therefore its fair value was determined based on the value of the common stock it converted into. At the time of conversion, the fair value of the Yorkville promissory note was $3,469.
Significant inputs for the Yorkville convertible promissory note valuation model were as follows:
Unsecured Senior Convertible Notes
The Company elected the fair value option to account for the unsecured senior convertible notes issued pursuant to the securities purchase agreement signed on November 25, 2024 (see Note 10). The fair values of the unsecured senior convertible notes are based on valuations which employ a Monte Carlo model and a credit default model. The Company utilized Level 3 inputs in a probability weighted model based on outcomes of a default, repayment and conversion of the notes. The measurements are based upon unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity based on the Company’s own assumptions. The fair value of the unsecured senior convertible notes at the dates of issuance was $689. The unsecured senior convertible notes were fully converted into common shares during 2025. At the time of conversion, the fair value of the unsecured convertible notes approximated the fair value of the conversion amount and therefore their fair value was determined based on the value of the common stock they converted into. At the time of conversion, the fair value of the unsecured convertible notes was $922.
Significant inputs for the unsecured senior convertible notes valuation model were as follows:
December 2025 Convertible Note and December 2025 Promissory Note
On December 19, 2025, the Company entered into a series of definitive agreements with an investor whereby the company issued the investor warrants, a senior secured non-convertible promissory note (the “December 2025 Promissory Note”) and a secured convertible note financing (the “December 2025 Convertible Note”).
Due to certain embedded features within the December 2025 Promissory Note and December 2025 Convertible Note, the Company elected to account for both notes and all the embedded features at fair value at inception. Subsequent changes in fair value are recorded as a component of non-operating loss in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. See Note 10 for more information.
The fair values of the December 2025 Promissory Note and December 2025 Convertible Note are based on a PWERM based on various inputs and assumptions, including the likelihood of various possible scenarios, and a yield rate. The fair value of the December 2025 Convertible Note was $2,687 as of December 31, 2025. The fair value of the December 2025 Promissory Note was $6,876 as of December 31, 2025.
Significant inputs for the December 2025 Promissory Note valuation model were as follows:
Significant inputs for the December 2025 Convertible Note valuation model were as follows:
Valuation of Warrant Liability
The warrant liability at December 31, 2025 is comprised of the fair value of warrants to purchase shares of Class A common stock. The Public Warrants are recorded at fair value based on the period-end publicly stated close price, which is a Level 1 input. The January 2024 Bridge Loan - Tranche #2 Warrants (prior to reclassification to equity classified) and November 2024 Purchaser Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants were recorded at fair value based on a Monte Carlo simulation model and the Registered Direct, PIPE and Sponsor Warrants are recorded at their respective closing date fair values based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model that utilizes inputs for: (i) the value of the underlying asset, (ii) the exercise price, (iii) the risk-free rate, (iv) the volatility of the underlying asset, (v) the dividend yield of the underlying asset and (vi) maturity, which are Level 3 inputs. The Black-Scholes option pricing model’s primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair values of the warrant liabilities is the expected volatility of the Class A common stock. Prior to the merger, Legacy Celularity was a private company and lacked company-specific historical and implied volatility information for its stock. Therefore, the Company estimates its expected stock price volatility using its volatility since the merger and the historical volatility of publicly traded peer companies. Beginning with the current period, the Company estimates expected volatility based solely on the historical volatility of its common stock. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve for time periods approximately equal to the estimated remaining term of the warrants. Inputs to the Monte Carlo and Black-Scholes option pricing models for the warrants are updated each reporting period to reflect fair value.
As described in Note 10 – Debt, on July 21, 2025 the Company issued a former Director of the Company the KTL Note in exchange for $6,812 (Note 10). The KTL Note was issued with a warrant (the “KTL Warrant”) to purchase up to 3,700,000 shares of the Company’s class A common stock. The KTL Warrant was initially exercisable at the closing price at the date when the warrants of RWI were repriced as contemplated by the term sheet dated as of February 12, 2025 between RWI and the Company, with a discount of 20%. As this amount was not known on issuance, the KTL Warrants were required to be liability classified and subsequently remeasure to fair value as they did not meet the “fixed-for-fixed” criteria under ASC 815-40-15-7C. On July 24, 2025, the KTL Warrants became exercisable at $ per share for five (5) years from the date of issuance. As such, the Company recorded the KTL Warrant as a liability at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The Company utilized the Black Scholes Model to calculate the value of the KTL Warrants issued during the year ended December 31, 2025.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the warrant liabilities measured on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:
Significant inputs for the May 2022 PIPE Warrants and the 2023 Registered Direct Warrants were as follows:
On July 24, 2025 the RWI Bridge Warrants were reclassified from liability to equity classification. The Company also issued an additional tranche of 500,000 equity-classified warrants to RWI. The additional tranche of warrants was issued at a fair value of $1,340 and the issuance resulted in the extinguishment of a promise to issue warrants liability which had previously been included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The promise to issue warrants liability was initially recorded on February 12, 2025 at a fair value of $710. The change in fair value of the promise to issue warrants liability during the year ended December 31, 2025 was $630 and is recorded within change in fair value of warrant liabilities on the consolidated statement of operations (Note 15). Significant inputs for the RWI Bridge Warrants were as follows:
On July 24, 2025 the KTL Warrants were reclassified from liability to equity classification. Significant inputs for the KTL Warrants were as follows:
Significant inputs for the Sponsor Warrants were as follows:
Valuation of Derivative Liability
The Company’s Series A Preferred Stock was determined to be more akin to an equity-like host than a debt-like host. The Company identified certain embedded features that required bifurcation from the equity host instrument. These features were bundled together, assigned probabilities of being affected and measured at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value of these features are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The Company estimates the fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative using a Monte Carlo simulation model and utilizing the with and without method, whereby the probability weighted difference between the scenarios with the derivative and the plain vanilla maturity scenario without a derivative is measured. See Note 15 for more information relating to the Series A Preferred Stock.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the derivative liabilities measured on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs for the years ended December 31, 2025:
Significant inputs for the bifurcated derivative Monte Carlo valuation model are as follows:
Valuation of Standby Equity Purchase Agreement
On March 13, 2024, the Company and Yorkville entered into a SEPA. Under the SEPA, the Company has the right to sell to Yorkville up to $10,000 of its Class A common stock, par value $ per share subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA, from time to time, over a 36-month period. Sales of the common stock to Yorkville under the SEPA, and the timing of any such sales, are at the Company’s option, and the Company is under no obligation to sell any shares of common stock to Yorkville under the SEPA except in connection with notices that may be submitted by Yorkville, in certain circumstances as described below.
In connection with the entry into the SEPA, on March 13, 2024, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with Yorkville, pursuant to which the Company agreed to file with the SEC no later than May 3, 2024, a registration statement for the resale by Yorkville of the shares of common stock issued under the SEPA (including the commitment fee shares). The Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective within 45 days of such filing and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement during the 36-month commitment period. The Company will not have the ability to request any Advances under the SEPA (nor may Yorkville convert the Initial Advance into common stock) until such resale registration statement is declared effective by the SEC. The Company has not yet filed a registration statement with the SEC for the resale by Yorkville.
The Company determined that the SEPA should be accounted for as a derivative measured at fair value, with changes in the fair value recognized in earnings. Because the Company has not yet filed a registration statement and no shares can currently be issued under the SEPA, the SEPA is deemed to have no value as of the issuance date and as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
