Current report
In November 2025, we presented data at The Liver Meeting 2025, organized by the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases, showing that IMC-I109V is generally well tolerated in all evaluated doses and exhibits pharmacodynamic effects consistent with its mechanism of action, including reduction in HBsAg levels, clearance of which is indicative of resolved hepatitis B infection. We have completed the SAD portion of the trial and will determine next steps in 2026.
Current report
In December 2025, we submitted the Clinical Trial Application for our first autoimmune candidate, IMC-S118AI (PPI x PD1), for the treatment of type 1 diabetes. We expect to dose the first patient in the Phase 1 dose escalation trial in the first half of 2026.
Current report
At the JP Morgan Healthcare Conference in January 2026, we announced our strategic priorities for the company. In the first half of 2026, we expect to complete enrollment in the registrational, advanced melanoma trial, TEBE-AM, with topline data expected as early as the second half of 2026. We are advancing multiple Phase 1/2 trials, with readouts expected from brenetafusp combinations in ovarian and lung cancer, from our PRAME half-life extended candidate (IMC-P115C), and from our HIV candidate, IMC-M113V, in the second half of 2026.
Current report

Collaboration revenue
Current report
For the year ended December 31, 2025, our income tax expense was $16.4 million compared to a benefit of $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. This change of $18.3 million primarily relates to a $14.7 million deferred tax expense in 2025 for a valuation allowance on our U.S. deferred tax assets as we no longer expect to be profitable in the United States jurisdiction in the short term, due to a change in intercompany pricing arrangements implemented in the year consistent with our evolution as a company and associated reallocation of income and expenses between geographic jurisdictions that aligns with global tax authority standards.
Current report
Net cash used in operating activities was $10.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $26.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease of $36.8 million was primarily driven by a reduction in accrued expenses and other liabilities, reflecting the timing of payments, partially offset by an increase in net revenue from sale of therapies and cash collections.

Under the SME program, the trading losses that arise from our qualifying R&D activities can be surrendered for a cash rebate of up to 33.35% of qualifying expenditure incurred prior to April 1, 2023, and up to 18.6% of qualifying expenditure incurred thereafter. We exceeded the size limit thresholds to qualify as a “small or medium-sized enterprise” as defined for the purposes of the SME program in 2023, and may therefore, unless we once again fall within such thresholds, cease to be eligible to claim U.K. R&D tax credits under the SME program with effect from 2023.
Previous report
Revenue from collaboration agreements decreased by $10.5 million to $0.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $10.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. This decrease was due to our February 2023 agreement with Genentech, under the terms of our Genentech Collaboration, to close the Phase 1 clinical trial and for the parties to fulfill the remaining obligations in relation to the trial.

Previous report
For the year ended December 31, 2024, the income tax benefit amounted to $1.9 million compared to a benefit of $5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. This change of $3.7 million relates to an increase in the tax charge in the US, offset by a valuation allowance release in 2023 related to US stock compensation.
Previous report
In November 2024, we paid$52.1 million to prepay in full the loans outstanding under the Pharmakon Loan Agreement with a maturity of November 8, 2028, consisting of$50.0 million principal,$0.5 million accrued interest and$1.6 million attributable to a prepayment premium and other expenses payable pursuant to the Pharmakon Loan Agreement.

Previous report
Net cash provided by our operating activities was $26.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase of $23.1 million was due to increased revenue related to KIMMTRAK and favorable working capital movements driven by higher accrued expenses relating to timing of rebate payments, partly offset by increases in R&D expenses primarily related to clinical trial costs in the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023.
Previous report
On November 8, 2024, we repaid in full the loan outstanding under the Pharmakon Loan Agreement, terminating all obligations. Further details regarding the termination of this loan facility are provided in the notes to our consolidated financial statements.

Gadeta Collaboration
Previous report
In December 2022, we entered into a collaboration, option and license agreement, (the “Gadeta Collaboration”), with Gadeta B.V., (“Gadeta”), which was acquired by Clade Therapeutics, (“Clade”), in October 2023. Under the Gadeta Collaboration, we collaborated on ‘201 γδ-TCR target discovery, and we had the option to develop ImmTAC therapies derived from the ‘201 TCR. Following the acquisition of Gadeta by Clade, the rights under the Gadeta Collaboration were transferred to a newly established entity called Ateda Therapeutics, (“Ateda”). Our rights and obligations under the terms of the Gadeta Collaboration did not alter through this transfer. In April 2024, Clade was acquired by Century Therapeutics. Our rights and obligations under the Gadeta Collaboration were not affected by the acquisition. In December 2024, we elected not to exercise the option to develop ImmTAC therapies derived from the ‘201 TCR, bringing to an end any payment obligations related to such activities. Under the surviving license terms, We retain the right to develop therapies directed to the target recognized by the ‘201 TCR provided such therapies are not derived from the ‘201 TCR. Should we elect to develop such therapies, then the defined milestones and royalties may be owed to Ateda. We have incurred amounts totaling $2.8 million under the Gadeta Collaboration as of December 31, 2024.

Since our inception, we have focused on organizing and staffing our company, raising capital, performing research and development activities to advance our research, development and technology, and commercializing KIMMTRAK. While we have successfully generated revenue from KIMMTRAK, which is our first marketed product, our ability to generate higher levels of revenue from other marketed products, which may never be fully developed or commercialized, depends on the successful development and regulatory approval of one or more of our product candidates and our ability to finance operations. Since inception, we have raised funds through our initial public offering, private placements of our ordinary and preferred shares, debt financings, revenue and historical payments from our collaboration partners. These funds have been and are being used to fund operations and invest in activities for technology creation, drug discovery and clinical development programs, infrastructure, creation of portfolio of intellectual property and commercial and administrative support.

Previous wording
Revenue from sale of therapies, net relates to the sale of KIMMTRAK following marketing approval and the sale of tebentafusp under compassionate use and early access programs in France through September 2022. We recognize net revenue from sale of therapies at the point in time that control transfers to a customer, which is typically on delivery to our distributors and healthcare providers. We also operate under consignment arrangements where control passes when our distributors take KIMMTRAK out of consignment inventory. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled, net of estimated deductions for rebates, chargebacks and product returns. These estimates consider contractual and statutory requirements, the expected payor and patient mix, sell-through data, our customers’ inventory levels, anticipated demand and the volume of customer purchase orders, internal data, and other information provided by our customers and third-party logistics providers, and, in certain countries including France, pricing negotiations. Further information on estimates is provided under the section below headed, “Critical Accounting Estimates”.

Historically, collaboration revenue arose under our collaboration agreements with Genentech and Lilly and consisted of non-refundable upfront payments, development milestone payments as well as reimbursement of certain research and development expenses. Our collaboration agreement with Lilly was terminated in 2022 and in February 2023, we and Genentech agreed to wind down the co-funding arrangements and clinical trial for IMC-C103C. We could be eligible to receive development and commercial milestone payments and royalties from Genentech on any sales of MAGE-A4 HLA-A02 targeted products arising under the Genentech collaboration. As of December 31, 2023, we determined our performance obligation under the collaboration with Genentech was complete.

Previous wording
Cost of revenue from sale of therapies represents production costs including raw materials, external manufacturing costs, and other costs incurred in bringing inventories to their location and condition prior to sale. Cost of revenue from sale of therapies may also include costs related to manufacturing losses and excess or obsolete inventory costs. Overheads and internal costs of revenue from sale of therapies are minimal under our manufacturing arrangements. Due to the low costs involved in manufacturing KIMMTRAK, cost of revenue from sale of therapies is currently not material, and while these costs are expected to increase in future periods as inflationary pressures increase, we do not expect such costs to be material for the foreseeable future.

Cost of revenue from sale of therapies represents production costs including raw materials, external manufacturing costs, and other costs incurred in bringing inventories to their location and condition prior to sale. Cost of revenue from sale of therapies may also include costs related to manufacturing losses and excess or obsolete inventory costs. For example, in June 2025, we initiated a global recall for one batch of KIMMTRAK (tebentafusp) relating to an unexpected result in routine stability testing. As of the date of this Annual Report, based on all available data to date, we do not expect there will be a material impact on KIMMTRAK or our financial statements. Overheads and internal costs of revenue from sale of therapies are minimal under our manufacturing arrangements.

Previous wording
For the year ended December 31, 2024, our external R&D expenses increased by $52.8 million. This was driven by an increase of $35.6 million in expenses incurred for our PRAME programs as a result of the initiation of our registrational Phase 3 PRISM-MEL-301 clinical trial, scale-up of manufacturing and increase in the number of patients in combination expansions in our brenetafusp Phase 1/2 clinical trial. R&D expenses incurred for our tebentafusp programs increased by $15.1 million primarily due to the progression of the advanced cutaneous melanoma ("TEBE-AM") and ATOM Phase 3 clinical trials.
Current wording
For the year ended December 31, 2025, our external R&D expenses increased by $37.6 million due to an increase in all other external clinical and preclinical costs of $36.0 million related to continued progress in the pipeline, primarily for our autoimmune programs, including clinical material manufacturing for anticipated Phase 1 initiation. In addition, R&D expenses incurred for our tebentafusp programs increased by $9.7 million as a result of continued advancement of the TEBE-AM and ATOM Phase 3 trials, and purchases of drug consumables. There was a decrease of $7.8 million in expenses incurred for our PRAME programs primarily resulting from higher costs in the year ended December 31, 2024, due to timing of manufacturing batches and purchases of drug consumables for our clinical trials, partially offset by higher costs in the year ended December 31, 2025 due to enrollment in our PRISM-MEL-301 Phase 3 clinical trial.
Previous wording
For the year ended December 31, 2024, our internal R&D expenses increased by $5.8 million. This was primarily due to an increase of $5.5 million in salaries and other employee-related costs as our average number of employees and associated personnel costs increased with the growth of our clinical and preclinical programs, and an increase of $2.3 million in other internal R&D costs related to higher information technology and facilities costs.

We held cash and cash equivalents of$455.7 million and marketable securities of $364.6 million as of December 31, 2024. Based on our current operating plans, we expect that our existing cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities balances, along with anticipated revenue from KIMMTRAK and the cash proceeds from our February 2024 Notes offering, will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least twelve months from the date of filing of this Annual Report. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our capital resources sooner than we expect. Given our need for additional financing to support the long-term clinical development of our programs, we intend to consider additional financing opportunities when market terms are favorable to us.
