Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

Preliminary Estimate of Selected Fiscal Year End 2018 Financial Results

Kezar Life Sciences, Inc. (“Kezar”) preliminarily estimates that its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2018 was approximately $107.4 million and that it had 19.1 million shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2018. These preliminary estimates are not a comprehensive statement of Kezar’s financial results for the year ended December 31, 2018 and have not been audited, reviewed, or compiled by its independent registered public accounting firm. Kezar’s actual consolidated cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance and shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2018 may differ from these estimates due to the completion of Kezar’s year-end closing and auditing procedures.

 

The information provided in this Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any of the Company’s filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
