Description of the Business	6 Months Ended
Description of the Business	Jun. 30, 2021
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Description of the Business	Description of the Business Recursion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Recursion, the Company, we or us) was originally formed as a limited liability company on November 4, 2013 under the name Recursion Pharmaceuticals, LLC. In September 2016, we converted to a Delaware corporation and changed our name to Recursion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Recursion is a biotechnology company that combines automation, artificial intelligence, machine learning, in vivo validation capabilities and a highly cross-functional team to discover novel medicines that expand our collective understanding of biology. Recursion’s rich, relatable database of biological images generated in-house on the Company’s robotics platform enables advanced machine learning approaches to reveal drug candidates, mechanisms of action, novel chemistry and potential toxicity, with the eventual goal of decoding biology and advancing new therapeutics that radically improve people’s lives. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $287.7 million. The Company expects to incur substantial operating losses in future periods and will require additional capital to advance its drug candidates. The Company does not expect to generate significant revenue until the Company successfully completes significant drug development milestones with its subsidiaries or in collaboration with third parties, which the Company expects will take a number of years. In order to commercialize its drug candidates, the Company or its partners need to complete clinical development and comply with comprehensive regulatory requirements. The Company is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties similar to those of other companies of the same size within the biotechnology industry, such as the uncertainty of clinical trial outcomes, uncertainty of additional funding and a history of operating losses. The Company has funded its operations to date through the issuance of convertible preferred stock (see Note 7, “Convertible Preferred Stock” for additional information) and the issuance of Class A common stock in an Initial Public Offering (IPO), which was completed in April 2021 (see Note 8, “Common Stock” for additional details). Recursion will likely be required to raise additional capital. As of June 30, 2021, the Company did not have any unconditional outstanding commitments for additional funding. If the Company is unable to access additional funds when needed, it may not be able to continue the development of its products or the Company could be required to delay, scale back or abandon some or all of its development programs and other operations. The Company’s ability to access capital when needed is not assured and, if not achieved on a timely basis, could materially harm its business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company believes that the net proceeds from the IPO, together with the Company’s existing cash and cash equivalents and borrowings available to it, will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operating expenses and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months.

Basis of Presentation	6 Months Ended
Basis of Presentation	Jun. 30, 2021
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation Basis of Presentation The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Recursion have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Company’s final prospectus dated as of April 15, 2021 and filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) on April 16, 2021. In April 2021, the Company completed a 1.5-for-1 forward stock split of common and convertible preferred stock. All shares presented within these condensed consolidated financial statements were adjusted to reflect the forward stock split for all periods presented. See Note 8, “Common Stock” for additional details. In April 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized two classes of common stock, Class A and Class B. Certain shares of Class A were exchanged for Class B on a one for one basis. The creation and issuance of the Class B common stock did not affect the loss per share for the Class A or Class B shares for any period. The Company presented the 2021 net loss per share amounts as if the authorization and exchange occurred as of the start of the 2021 reporting period. See Note 8, “Common Stock” for additional details. It is management’s opinion that these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, operating results and cash flows. Revenues and net loss for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of future or annual results. Emerging Growth Company The Company is an emerging growth company (EGC), as defined by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the JOBS Act). The JOBS Act exempts EGCs from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply. Recursion has elected to use the extended transition period for new or revised financial accounting standards. However, the Company may adopt certain new or revised accounting standards early. This may make comparisons of the Company’s financial statements with other public companies difficult because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. Recursion may remain an EGC until December 31, 2026, although if we: (1) become a “large accelerated filer;” (2) have annual gross revenues of $1.07 billion or more in any fiscal year; or (3) issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period, the Company would cease to be an EGC as of December 31 of the applicable year. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases - Topic 842 (ASU 2016-02). Under ASC 842, the Company will be required to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) on its balance sheet at the commencement date of each lease. ASU 842 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2021 and early adoption is permitted. The Company must adopt the standard using the modified retrospective approach either: (1) as of the earliest period presented and through the comparative periods in the entity’s financial statements or (2) as of the effective date of ASC 842, with a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity. The Company expects the adoption to materially increase assets and liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to those leases classified as operating and not recognized on the Balance Sheets under current GAAP. The Company is continuing to evaluate the effect that ASU 842 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company will adopt the new standard on January 1, 2022.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]

Notes Payable

Midcap Financial

In September 2019, the Company entered into a new Credit and Security Agreement with Midcap Financial Trust (Midcap) and the other lenders party thereto (the Midcap Loan Agreement). The Midcap Loan Agreement provides for a term loan facility that includes: i) an initial tranche of $11.9 million; and ii) a second tranche of up to $15.0 million, which if drawn would result in a maximum outstanding amount of $26.9 million. The Company used $11.2 million of the proceeds from the initial tranche to fully repay a previously outstanding term loan with Pacific Western Bank (Pacific). Proceeds from the term loans may be used for general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the outstanding principal balance under the Midcap loan agreement was $11.9 million.

Interest on the Midcap loan accrues on the principal amount outstanding at a floating per annum rate equal to the LIBOR rate (floor of 2.00%) plus 5.75% and is payable monthly in arrears. The Company is required to make interest-only payments from September 2019 to September 2021 and thereafter, 36 monthly principal payments of $330 thousand plus interest. The interest-only period will be extended an additional 12 months under certain conditions.

The Company may voluntarily prepay the Midcap loan, subject to certain minimum repayment requirements and prepayment fees. The Midcap loan is subject to a mandatory prepayment under certain conditions.

The debt is secured against substantially all of the Company’s assets. The Midcap Loan Agreement includes standard affirmative and restrictive covenants, including covenants limiting the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, dispose of assets, grant certain licenses, make investments, consummate mergers or acquisitions, incur debt, grant liens and make dividends or distributions, in each case subject to certain exceptions. The loan agreement also includes standard events of default, including, subject to grace periods in certain instances, payment defaults; breaches of covenants; breaches of representations and warranties; cross-defaults with certain other indebtedness; insolvency and bankruptcy defaults; a change of control of the Company or any subsidiary; or a material adverse change in the business, operations or conditions of the Company. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, Midcap may declare all outstanding obligations immediately due and payable, increase the applicable interest rate by 2% and take such other actions as set forth in the Midcap Loan Agreement. As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.

In 2019, the Company paid fees of approximately $298 thousand in connection with the origination of the Midcap Loan Agreement. These fees were deferred and recorded as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the loan payable and are being amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the agreement.

Pacific Western

In May 2018, Pacific issued a standby letter of credit of $3.8 million for the benefit of the Company’s landlord, securing certain Company obligations relating to tenant improvements. This letter of credit was transferred to J.P. Morgan during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. See Note 14, “Fair Value Measurements” for additional details. As of December 31, 2020, the outstanding letter of credit was $3.8 million, for which the Company held $4.0 million of restricted cash as collateral.

Convertible Notes

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company issued convertible promissory notes for an aggregate principal amount of $6.4 million. Under certain conditions, the principal was convertible into an amount of equity with a fair value that exceeded the amount of the notes’ principal on the conversion date. This feature of the notes was accounted for separately at fair value as a derivative liability. Changes in the fair value of the derivative were

recorded in “Other loss, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and were $323 thousand during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

In September 2020, these notes converted to 1,203,231 shares of Series D Preferred Stock. Upon conversion of the notes, the Company recorded the $1.6 million fair value of the derivative liability as equity on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Notes Payable for Tenant Improvement Allowance

In 2018, the Company borrowed $992 thousand, which was available as part of the Station 41 lease, from its landlord for use on tenant improvements (see Note 6, “Commitments and Contingencies” for additional details). Under the terms of the lease, the note will be repaid over a 10-year period at an 8% interest rate.

Notes payable under the Midcap loan agreement and for tenant improvement allowances, including accrued interest, consisted of the following:


	June 30,		December 31,
(in thousands)	2021		2020
Current portion of notes payable	$	3,135	$	1,073

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, total rent expense was $1.4 million and $2.7 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, total rent expense was $1.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively. The Komas, Station 41 and Milpitas leases described below are classified as operating leases.

Komas Lease

In August 2016, the Company entered into a new facilities lease, with the right of use and payments beginning in January 2017. The term of the lease is 7 years. This lease includes provisions for escalating rent payments. Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. This lease included an allowance for tenant improvements. Tenant improvements were recorded as property and equipment and are being depreciated over the term of the lease. In conjunction with the allowance for tenant improvements, the Company recorded a lease incentive obligation of $847 thousand which is being amortized over the term of the lease as a reduction to rent expense. As of June 30, 2021, the related unamortized lease incentive obligation was $313 thousand.

Station 41 Lease

In August 2017, the Company entered into a new facilities lease, with the right of use beginning in December 2017 and payments beginning in June 2018. The term of the lease is 10 years, with one five-year renewal option exercisable by the Company. This lease includes provisions for escalating rent payments. Rent expense is recognized straight-line over the term of the lease. This lease included an allowance for tenant improvements of $4.0 million, the full amount of which was drawn in 2017. Tenant improvements were recorded as property and equipment and are being depreciated over the remaining term of the lease. In conjunction with the allowance for tenant improvements, the Company recorded a leasehold obligation, which is being amortized over the term of the lease as a reduction to rent expense. As of June 30, 2021, the related unamortized lease incentive obligation was $2.6 million.

In 2018, the Company elected to draw an additional tenant improvement loan of $992 thousand available under the Station 41 lease. This loan is incorporated into and acts to increase the base rent over the remaining life of the lease.

The Company accounts for this additional tenant improvement loan as a note payable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with the current portion included in the Current Portion of Notes Payable.

The Company has agreed to indemnify its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences, while the officer or director is or was serving at the Company’s request in such capacity. The Company purchases directors and officers liability insurance coverage that provides for reimbursement to the Company for covered obligations and this is intended to limit the Company’s exposure and enable it to recover a portion of any amounts it pays under its indemnification obligations.

The Company has issued preferred stock as part of various financing events. In April 2021, all outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock converted into 115,598,018 shares of Class A common stock as part of the IPO (see Note 8, “Common Stock” for additional details on the IPO). There was no convertible preferred stock outstanding as of June 30, 2021.

No new convertible preferred stock was issued during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. As of June 30, 2020, there were no cumulative dividends owed or in arrears on the preferred stock.

Balance Sheet Classification

The Company’s convertible preferred stock was classified outside of stockholders’ equity (deficit) on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets because the holders of such shares have liquidation rights in the event of a deemed liquidation that, in certain situations, are not solely within the control of the Company and would require the redemption of the then-outstanding convertible preferred stock. The convertible preferred stock was not redeemable, except in the event of a deemed liquidation event.

Common Stock	6 Months Ended
Common Stock	Jun. 30, 2021
Equity [Abstract]
Common Stock	Common Stock Each share of Class A common stock entitles the holder to one vote per share and each share of Class B common stock entitles the holder to 10 votes per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders. Common stockholders are entitled to receive dividends, as may be declared by the Company’s board of directors. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, no dividends had been declared. Initial Public Offering On April 20, 2021, the Company closed its IPO and issued 27,878,787 shares of its common stock at a price of $18.00 per share for net proceeds of $462.4 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $35.1 million and other offering costs of $4.3 million. In connection with the IPO, all shares of Series A, A-1, B, C and D convertible preferred stock converted into 115,598,018 shares of Class A common stock. Stock Split In April 2021, the Board of Directors approved a 1.5-for-1 forward stock split of the Company’s common and convertible preferred stock. Each shareholder of record on April 9, 2021 received 1.5 shares for each then-held share. The split proportionally increased the authorized shares and did not change the par values of the Company’s stock. The split affected all stockholders uniformly and did not affect any stockholder's ownership percentage of the Company's shares of common stock. All shares and per share amounts presented within these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were adjusted to reflect the forward stock split for all periods presented. Class A and B Common Shares Authorization In April 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized two classes of common stock, Class A and Class B. The rights of the holders of Class A and B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share. Each share of Class B common stock is entitled to 10 votes per share and is convertible at any time into one share of Class A common stock. All Class B common stock is held by Christopher Gibson, Ph.D., our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), or his affiliate. As of June 30, 2021, Dr. Gibson and his affiliate held outstanding shares of Class B common stock representing approximately 38% of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding shares. This voting power may increase over time as Dr. Gibson vests in and exercises equity awards outstanding. If all the equity awards held by Dr. Gibson had been fully vested and exercised and exchanged for shares of Class B common stock as of June 30, 2021, Dr. Gibson and his affiliate would hold approximately 41% of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding shares. As a result, Dr. Gibson will be able to significantly influence any action requiring the approval of Recursion stockholders, including the election of the board of directors; the adoption of amendments to the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws; and the approval of any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or other major corporate transaction.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for shareholders' equity comprised of portions attributable to the parent entity and noncontrolling interest, including other comprehensive income. Includes, but is not limited to, balances of common stock, preferred stock, additional paid-in capital, other capital and retained earnings, accumulated balance for each classification of other comprehensive income and amount of comprehensive income.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Collaborative and Other Research and Development Contracts	Collaborative and Other Research and Development Contracts Bayer AG In August 2020, the Company entered into a Research Collaboration and Option Agreement (the Bayer Agreement) with Bayer AG (Bayer) for a five-year term pursuant to which the Company and Bayer may initiate approximately 10 research projects related to fibrosis across multiple organ systems, including the lung, liver and heart. Under the agreement, the Company contributed compounds from our proprietary library and Bayer contributed compounds from its proprietary library and will contribute scientific expertise throughout the collaboration. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company received a non-refundable upfront payment of $30.0 million, which was recorded as unearned revenue on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company determined that it has one performance obligation under the agreement, which is to perform research and development services for Bayer. Recursion determined the transaction price to be the $30.0 million upfront payment received and allocated the amount to the single performance obligation. The Company is recognizing the revenue over time using a cost-based input method, based on labor costs incurred to perform the research and development services. This method of recognizing revenue requires the Company to make estimates of the total costs to provide the services required under the performance obligation. A significant change in these estimates could have a material effect on the timing and amount of revenue recognized in future periods. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized $2.5 million and $5.0 million, respectively, of revenue resulting from the collaboration. There was $10.0 million and $11.7 million of current and non-current unearned revenue, respectively, remaining as of June 30, 2021. The allocation of unearned revenue between current and non-current is based on Recursion’s estimates of when the Company expects to incur the related costs. Under each research project, the Company will work with Bayer to identify potential candidates for development. Under the agreement, Bayer has the first option for licenses to potential candidates. Each such license could potentially result in option exercise fees and development and commercial milestone payments payable to the Company, with an aggregate value of up to approximately $100.0 million (for an option on a lead series) or up to approximately $120.0 million (for an option on a development candidate), as well as tiered royalties for each such license, ranging from low- to mid-single digit percentages of sales, depending on commercial success. The National Institute of Health During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company was awarded a grant by the National Institute of Health, which included potential funding of $1.4 million. Revenue recognized related to this grant during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was $49 thousand and $111 thousand, respectively. Revenue recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $186 thousand and $246 thousand, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, $346 thousand of the potential funding remained available. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $49 thousand and $140 thousand of outstanding receivables, respectively with the National Institute of Health, which was deemed to be collectible.

Stock-Based Compensation

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

Stock-Based Compensation

The following table presents the classification of stock-based compensation expense for stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs) for employees and non-employees within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss:


	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
(in thousands)	2021		2020		2021		2020
Research and development	$	1,067	$	288	$	1,696	$	976
General and administrative	3,910		481		4,980		1,058
Total	$	4,977	$	769	$	6,676	$	2,034

Key Personnel Incentive Plan

In November 2013, the Company adopted the Key Personnel Incentive Plan (the KPI Plan). The KPI Plan provides for the grant of restricted units and non-statutory option awards to employees, non-employee directors and consultants of the Company. As of June 30, 2021, there were no shares of common stock available for grant under the KPI Plan.

2016 Equity Incentive Plan

In August 2016, the Board of Directors and the stockholders of the Company adopted the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan. Under the 2016 Plan, 25,686,958 shares of common stock were reserved. As of June 30, 2021 there were no shares of common stock available for grant under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan.

2021 Equity Incentive Plan

In April 2021, the Board of Directors and the stockholders of the Company adopted the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2021 Plan). Under the 2021 Plan, 16,186,000 shares of Class A common stock were reserved. Additionally, shares were reserved for all outstanding awards under the 2016 Plan. The Company may grant stock options, RSUs, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and other forms of stock-based compensation.

As of June 30, 2021, 15,507,871 shares of Class A common stock were available for grant.

Stock Options

Stock options generally vest over four years and expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant. Stock option activity during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was as follows:


(in thousands except share data)	Shares	Weighted-Average Exercise Price		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Life (In Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding as of December 31, 2020	20,937,443	$	1.85	8.5	$	12,956
Granted	2,722,835	10.02
Cancelled	(680,666)	2.28
Exercised	(2,504,497)	1.18			9,629
Outstanding as of June 30, 2021	20,475,115	$	2.84	8.6	$	647,397
Exercisable as of June 30, 2021	7,146,350	$	1.79	7.6	$	213,533

The fair value of options granted to employees is calculated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The weighted-average grant-date fair values of stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $5.96 and $1.49, respectively.

The following weighted-average assumptions were used to calculate the grant-date fair value of employee stock options:


	Six months ended June 30,
	2021		2020
Expected term (in years)	6.2		6.2
Expected volatility	66	%	65	%
Expected dividend yield	—		—
Risk-free interest rate	0.97	%	1.00	%

In February 2021, the Company granted 150,000 shares of stock options with a performance and service condition that had a fair value of $358 thousand. The grant was fully expensed during the three months ended June 30, 2021 as the performance and service conditions were met.

In March 2020, the Company granted 1,500,000 shares of stock options with performance, market and service conditions. At grant date, the Company estimated that the fair value of the options was approximately $2.0 million. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, $1.6 million of expense was recorded as several of the conditions were met. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, no expense was recorded as the performance conditions were not considered probable.

During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2017, the Company granted options to purchase 120,000 and 330,000 shares, respectively, of common stock to non-employee consultants. These options were granted in exchange for consulting services and vest over a period that approximates the term of the services to be provided by the Company. The fair value of the options granted prior to 2020 were remeasured in each period until they were fully vested. Following the adoption of ASU 2018-07 on January 1, 2020, the fair value of options granted to non-employees were no longer remeasured subsequent to the grant date. The fair value of each option on the date of grant was calculated using the Black-Scholes option model. There were no grants to non-employee consultants during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

As of June 30, 2021, $28.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options is expected to be recognized as expense over approximately the next 3 years.

RSUs

In April 2021, Recursion redesigned certain aspects of its long-term incentive program. As a result, equity awards granted to employees since the redesign generally consist of a combination of stock options and RSUs. RSUs awarded to employees pursuant to the 2021 Plan generally vest over four years. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of RSUs generally is determined based on the number of units granted and the quoted price of Recursion’s common stock on the date of grant.

The following table summarizes Recursion’s RSU activity during the six months ended June 30, 2021:


	Stock units	Weighted-average grant date fair value
Outstanding as of December 31, 2020	—	$	—
Granted	76,762	30.42
Vested	—	—
Forfeited	—	—
Outstanding as of June 30, 2021	76,762	$	30.42

As of June 30, 2021, $2.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs is expected to be recognized as expense over approximately the next 2.75 years.

Employee share purchase plan (ESPP)

In April 2021, the Board of Directors and stockholders of the Company adopted the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the 2021 ESPP). Under the 2021 ESPP, 3,238,000 shares of Class A common stock were reserved. The 2021 ESPP has consecutive six month offering periods. The offering periods will be scheduled to start on the first trading day on or after May 20 and November 20 of each year, except the first offering period, which commenced on the Plan Effectiveness Date and will end on the last trading day on or after November 20, 2021. The second offering period will commence on the first trading day on or after November 20, 2021. The per share purchase price will be 85% of the lower of the fair market value on 1) the first trading day of the offering period or 2) the exercise date.

Fair value of the ESPP grants are measured at grant date. The fair value is determined considering the purchase discount and the fair value of the look-back feature. Black-Scholes pricing models are used to calculate the fair value of the look-back feature. The weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes models were as follows:


	Three months ended		Six months ended
	June 30, 2021
Expected term (in years)	0.6		0.6
Expected volatility	69	%	69	%
Expected dividend yield	—		—
Risk-free interest rate	0.04	%	0.04	%

As of June 30, 2021, no shares have been issued under the 2021 ESPP. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, Recursion recognized expense of $216 thousand for the 2021 ESPP. As of June 30, 2021, $407 thousand of unrecognized compensation cost related to the 2021 ESPP is expected to be recognized as expense over approximately the next 5 months.

Warrants

In connection with the execution of the Pacific loan agreement (see Note 5, “Notes Payable” for additional details), the Company issued to Pacific fully vested warrants to purchase 84,486 Series A Preferred Stock (Series A warrants) at a purchase price of $0.71 per share. In May 2017, the Company drew on additional borrowing capacity under the Pacific loan agreement, which required the Company to issue additional fully vested warrants for 28,161 Series A Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $0.71 per share. These Series A warrants were exercised in April 2021. As of December 31, 2020, their fair value was $77 thousand.

In July 2018, the Company drew on additional borrowing capacity under an amended agreement. This required the Company to issue fully vested warrants to purchase 25,762 Series B Preferred Stock (Series B warrants) at a purchase price of $2.79 per share. These Series B warrants were exercised in April 2021. As of December 31, 2020, their fair value was $48 thousand.

In January 2020, the Company issued warrants to purchase 180,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock (Series C warrants) at a purchase price of $6.51 per share as part of a services agreement. The warrants vest ratably over 18

months. The Series C warrants remained outstanding and 170,000 were vested and exercisable as of June 30, 2021. The grant date fair value was $4.10 per share. As of June 30, 2021, $35 thousand of unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested warrants is expected to be recognized over 1 month.

The FASB has issued accounting guidance on the classification of freestanding warrants and other similar instruments on shares that are redeemable (either puttable or mandatorily redeemable). The guidance requires liability classification for certain warrants that are exercisable into convertible preferred stock. The initial fair values of Series A and B warrants were recorded as debt issuance costs, which resulted in a reduction in the carrying value of the debt and subsequent accretion. The Company remeasured the Series A and B warrants on each Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet date. The change in valuation was recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss in “Other loss, net.” The liability was recorded to equity upon the exercise of the Series A and B warrants.

The Series C warrants’ compensation expense is being recorded in general and administrative expense ratably over the requisite service period based on the award’s fair value at the date of grant. These warrants were classified as equity as they were issued to non-employees for services and the convertible preferred stock was not redeemable, except in the event of a deemed liquidation event, which was not considered probable.

The following is a summary of the changes in the Company’s Series A and B warrant liability balance during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:


(in thousands)
Balance as of December 31, 2019	$	128
Net increase in fair value of warrants	5
Balance as of June 30, 2020	$	133

Balance as of December 31, 2020	$	125
Increase in fair value of warrants	2,215
Recorded in equity upon exercise	(2,340)
Balance as of June 30, 2021	$	—

Income Taxes	6 Months Ended
Income Taxes	Jun. 30, 2021
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company did not record any income tax expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The Company has historically incurred operating losses and maintains a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. Valuation allowances are recorded when the expected realization of the deferred tax assets does not meet a “more likely than not” criterion. Realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets are dependent upon the generation of future taxable income, the amount and timing of which are uncertain. Net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) and tax credit carry-forwards are subject to review by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and may become subject to annual limitations due to ownership changes that have occurred previously or that could occur in the future under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company has not conducted a study to assess whether a change of control has occurred or whether there have been multiple changes of control since inception due to the significant complexity and cost associated with such a study. Any limitation may result in expiration of a portion of the NOLs or research and development tax credit carryforwards before utilization. Further, until a study is completed and any limitation is known, no amounts are being presented as an uncertain tax position. The Company files income tax returns in the United States, Utah and California. The Company is not currently under examination in any of these jurisdictions. The Company is subject to income tax examinations on all federal returns since the 2018 tax return.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for income taxes. Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.

Net Loss Per Share

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2021

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Net Loss Per Share

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, Recursion calculated net loss per share of Class A and Class B common stock using the two-class method. Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares and the effect of potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities consist of stock options and other contingently issuable shares. For periods presented in which the Company reports a net loss, all potentially dilutive shares are anti-dilutive and as such are excluded from the calculation. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company reported a net loss and therefore basic and diluted loss per share are the same.

The rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights, of the holders of the Company’s Class A and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting. As a result, the undistributed earnings for each period are allocated based on the contractual participation rights of the Class A and Class B common shares as if the earnings for the period had been distributed. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis and the resulting amount per share for Class A and Class B common stock was the same for three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

Recursion issued certain convertible preferred stock that were outstanding until April 2021 and was concluded to be participating securities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, there was only one class of common stock outstanding. Due to the presence of participating securities, Recursion calculated net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 using the more dilutive of the treasury stock or the two-class method. For periods presented in which the Company reports a net loss, the losses are not allocated to the participating securities. As the Company reported a net loss during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, diluted net loss per share was the same as basic net loss per share, since dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive. The preferred stock converted to common stock in April 2021 as part of the Company’s IPO. See Note 8, “Common stock” for additional details.

The following tables set forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share of Class A and Class B common stock during 2021:


	Three months ended				Six months ended
	June 30, 2021				June 30, 2021
(in thousands, except share amount)	Class A		Class B		Class A		Class B
Numerator:
Allocation of undistributed earnings	$	(40,432)	$	(2,970)	$	(65,457)	$	(8,661)
Denominator:
Weighted average common shares outstanding	128,892,763		9,467,883		71,554,357		9,467,883
Net loss per share, basic and diluted	$	(0.31)	$	(0.31)	$	(0.91)	$	(0.91)

The Company excluded the following potential common shares from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the periods indicated because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:

•Level 1 — Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the company has the ability to access;

•Level 2 — Valuations based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in the market; and

•Level 3 — Valuations using significant inputs that are unobservable in the market and include the use of judgment by the company's management about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash) included bank deposits held in checking and savings accounts. The Company is required to maintain a balance in a collateralized account to secure the Company’s credit cards. Additionally, the Company holds restricted cash related to an outstanding letter of credit issued by J.P. Morgan, which was obtained to secure certain Company obligations relating to tenant improvements.

The Company measured the Series A and B preferred stock warrant liabilities at fair value using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. See Note 10, “Stock-based Compensation” for details on the valuation of the warrant liabilities and a reconciliation of the balance.

The following tables summarize the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

In addition to the financial instruments that are recognized at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, the Company has certain financial instruments that are recognized at amortized cost or some basis other than fair value. The carrying amount of these instruments are considered to be representative of their approximate fair values.

The following tables summarize the Company’s financial instruments that are not measured at fair value:

Basis of Presentation (Policies)	6 Months Ended
Basis of Presentation (Policies)	Jun. 30, 2021
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of presentation and emerging growth company	Basis of Presentation The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Recursion have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Company’s final prospectus dated as of April 15, 2021 and filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) on April 16, 2021. In April 2021, the Company completed a 1.5-for-1 forward stock split of common and convertible preferred stock. All shares presented within these condensed consolidated financial statements were adjusted to reflect the forward stock split for all periods presented. See Note 8, “Common Stock” for additional details. In April 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized two classes of common stock, Class A and Class B. Certain shares of Class A were exchanged for Class B on a one for one basis. The creation and issuance of the Class B common stock did not affect the loss per share for the Class A or Class B shares for any period. The Company presented the 2021 net loss per share amounts as if the authorization and exchange occurred as of the start of the 2021 reporting period. See Note 8, “Common Stock” for additional details. It is management’s opinion that these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, operating results and cash flows. Revenues and net loss for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of future or annual results. Emerging Growth Company The Company is an emerging growth company (EGC), as defined by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the JOBS Act). The JOBS Act exempts EGCs from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply. Recursion has elected to use the extended transition period for new or revised financial accounting standards. However, the Company may adopt certain new or revised accounting standards early. This may make comparisons of the Company’s financial statements with other public companies difficult because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. Recursion may remain an EGC until December 31, 2026, although if we: (1) become a “large accelerated filer;” (2) have annual gross revenues of $1.07 billion or more in any fiscal year; or (3) issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period, the Company would cease to be an EGC as of December 31 of the applicable year.
Recent accounting pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases - Topic 842 (ASU 2016-02). Under ASC 842, the Company will be required to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) on its balance sheet at the commencement date of each lease. ASU 842 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2021 and early adoption is permitted. The Company must adopt the standard using the modified retrospective approach either: (1) as of the earliest period presented and through the comparative periods in the entity’s financial statements or (2) as of the effective date of ASC 842, with a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity. The Company expects the adoption to materially increase assets and liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to those leases classified as operating and not recognized on the Balance Sheets under current GAAP. The Company is continuing to evaluate the effect that ASU 842 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company will adopt the new standard on January 1, 2022.
