Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative U.S. GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this report, as is permitted by such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 and notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 23, 2026. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments which are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2026 and the results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2026 or for any future period. On March 13, 2026, the Company effected a reverse stock split of its common stock at a ratio of 1-for-14. The reverse stock split did not impact the number of authorized shares of common stock or preferred stock or the par value per share of the common stock or preferred stock. All share and per share amounts in these condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Xilio Development, Inc. (“Xilio Development”), a Delaware corporation, and Xilio Securities Corporation, a Massachusetts security corporation. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the related reporting of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management considers many factors in selecting appropriate financial accounting policies and controls and in developing the estimates and assumptions that are used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements. Factors that may affect estimates include expected business and operational changes, sensitivity and volatility associated with the assumptions used in developing estimates, and whether historical trends are expected to be representative of future trends. The estimation process often may yield a range of potentially reasonable estimates of the ultimate future outcomes and management must select an amount that falls within that range of reasonable estimates. Significant estimates of accounting reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, estimates related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, the valuation of the common stock warrant liabilities, the valuation of stock-based compensation, including stock options and restricted stock units, useful life of long-lived assets and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk	Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company holds all cash and cash equivalents at accredited financial institutions. Bank accounts in the United States are generally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. Substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are FDIC insured, including funds held through an insured cash sweep program. The Company has not experienced any losses in its cash and cash equivalents and does not believe that it is subject to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships.
Segments	Segments The Company has one operating and reportable segment, the consolidated Company operations, reflecting the integrated nature of its business focused on discovering and developing masked I-O therapies. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its chief executive officer. The CODM allocates resources and assesses performance on a consolidated basis, focused on the Company’s cash resources and an assessment of the probability of success of its ongoing research and development activities. Resource allocation decisions are informed by forecasted cash expenditures and actual expenses incurred to date. The CODM is not regularly provided with disaggregated actual expense information, other than the actual expense information included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, as the Company’s integrated operating model emphasizes shared resources and centralized decision-making. All of the Company’s collaboration and license revenue is generated in the United States and all of the Company’s long-lived assets are held in the United States.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In November 2024 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
