Forward guidance

Cibus has several important development and commercial milestone targets for 2024.

Tailwinds

  • Expect 8 of 10 PSR customers in Canola to have their elite germplasm edited with Cibus' trait either transferred to the customer or ready to be transferred to the customer
  • Expect to collect HT3 field testing data for Rice in Latin America
  • Expand customer base with existing developed productivity traits
  • Expect greenhouse results for a third mode of action for Sclerotinia resistance
  • Expect greenhouse results for HT2

Headwinds

  • Need for additional near-term funding to finance its activities
  • Challenges in obtaining additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all
  • Changes in expected or existing competition
  • Challenges to Cibus' intellectual property protection and unexpected costs associated with defending intellectual property rights
  • Increased or unanticipated time and resources required for Cibus' platform or trait product development efforts
