The financial trajectory between 2018 and 2022 is characterized by expanding operational losses funded primarily through aggressive capital raising activities. A consistent increase in net loss is observed, accelerating from -106.3 million US dollars in 2018 to -389.0 million US dollars in 2022. This operational deficit is mirrored in the net cash used in operating activities, which reached -299.5 million US dollars in 2022, indicating a significant increase in the company's cash burn rate.

Operational Cash Flow and Non-Cash Adjustments
A widening gap is evident between net loss and net cash used in operations, driven largely by non-cash expenses. Stock-based compensation expense has grown substantially, rising from 9.8 million US dollars in 2018 to 47.9 million US dollars in 2022, serving as a critical non-cash offset to the net loss. Non-cash interest expenses related to revenue participation rights and debt also contribute significantly to the reconciliation, particularly in 2022 when these combined expenses increased. The year 2020 represents a brief anomaly where net cash provided by operating activities turned positive (8.9 million US dollars), primarily due to a large increase in deferred revenue (87 million US dollars).
Investing Activities and Capital Allocation
Investing activities are dominated by high-volume movements in short-term investments. Purchases of investments increased steadily, peaking at 855.4 million US dollars in 2022, while maturities provided a corresponding inflow. Capital expenditures for property and equipment showed a sharp peak in 2021 at 48.9 million US dollars before receding to 11.3 million US dollars in 2022. Overall, net cash used in investing activities grew from a small surplus of 5.1 million US dollars in 2018 to a deficit of 262.1 million US dollars in 2022.
Financing Strategy and Capital Structure
Financing activities have been the primary source of liquidity to sustain operations. There is a clear shift in funding mechanisms; while 2020 and 2021 relied heavily on public offerings of common stock (totalling approximately 485.8 million US dollars across those two years), 2022 saw a strategic pivot toward convertible debt. In 2022, proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt reached 523.6 million US dollars, which funded the repayment of existing convertible debt (140.3 million US dollars) and term loans (47.7 million US dollars). Net cash provided by financing activities increased dramatically over the period, ending at 516.2 million US dollars in 2022.
Liquidity Position
The cash position has remained volatile. Cash and equivalents ended 2018 at 42.3 million US dollars and peaked at 112.7 million US dollars by the end of 2021. However, despite the massive financing inflows in 2022, the combined impact of increased operational burn and investing outflows led to a net decrease in cash of 45.5 million US dollars during that year, resulting in a closing balance of 67.2 million US dollars.
