Sagimet Biosciences Inc. New Standards Disclosure
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not discussed below were assessed and either determined to be not applicable or expected to have a minimal impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, a final standard on improvements to income tax disclosures. The standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions and applies to all entities subject to income taxes. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025 for EGCs under the JOBS Act. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2023-09 on a retrospective basis beginning with this Annual Report. See Note 9, Income Taxes, for the updated disclosures as a result of adopting this ASU.
New accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires public business entities
to disclose, for interim and annual reporting periods, additional information about certain income statement expense categories. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and is effective on either a prospective basis or retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its financial statements and related disclosures.
One Big Beautiful Bill Act
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was enacted in the United States. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and modifications to capitalization of research and development expenses, among others. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The Company assessed the provisions of the OBBBA and included any changes that impacted the Company in its provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2025. The OBBBA had no impact on the Company’s financial statements and results of operations due to its cumulative tax loss and tax effect of a full valuation allowance against those balances. The Company will continue to assess the future potential impacts of this legislation on its deferred tax assets, financial statements and related disclosures.

About New Standards Disclosures
New accounting standards disclosures describe recently adopted pronouncements and those not yet effective, along with management's assessment of their expected impact. This section provides an early warning system for upcoming changes to how a company reports its financial results, often years before the new rules take effect.
Key signals: when management describes a not-yet-adopted standard's impact as "material" or "still being evaluated," it signals potential significant changes to reported metrics upon adoption. Watch for standards that affect a company's core operations — for example, revenue recognition changes for software companies or lease accounting changes for retailers with large store footprints. The transition method chosen (full retrospective versus modified retrospective) affects comparability with prior periods. Companies that delay adoption to the latest permitted date may be struggling with implementation complexity. Compare the disclosed impact assessments against peers in the same industry to gauge whether management's expectations are reasonable.
