- Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial reporting and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required for the full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 25, 2026 (the "Annual Report").
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods reported. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the results of the interim periods have been included and consist only of normal and recurring adjustments. Certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted as permitted under U.S. GAAP. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026, any other interim periods, or any future year or period.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions. These judgments, estimates and assumptions affect the reported assets and liabilities as well as income and expenses in the financial period.
The estimates and associated assumptions are based on information available when the condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared, historical experience and various other factors which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the Company’s control. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are primarily made in relation to revenue recognition, operating lease incremental borrowing rates, share-based compensation expense, clinical accruals, and deferred tax asset valuation allowances.
Fair value measurements
Where financial and non-financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value, the Company uses appropriate valuation techniques for which sufficient data are available, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company held $361.6 million and $366.8 million, respectively, of money market funds required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis within cash and cash equivalents. In addition, as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company held $395.3 million and $396.4 million of marketable securities, respectively. The Company recorded unrealized gains of $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and $10.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, on these marketable securities. The fair value of these cash equivalents and marketable securities is based on quoted prices from active markets (Level 1 inputs). Other financial instruments, although not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt obligations.
The fair value of borrowings under the convertible senior notes (the “Notes”, disclosed in Note 5. “Interest-bearing loans and borrowings”) were based on Level 2 inputs, which include observable inputs estimated using discounted cash flows and market-based expectations for interest rates, credit risk, and the contractual terms of debt instruments. After initial recognition, borrowings are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Significant accounting policies
The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are consistent with those disclosed in Note 2. "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in the Company’s Annual Report.
Recently issued and recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). This ASU requires disclosure in the notes to the financial statements, at each interim and annual reporting period, of specified information about certain costs and expenses including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption. Also required is a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated. This ASU is effective for all public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted. This ASU should be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued after the effective date of this update or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating these new disclosure requirements and the impact of adoption on its financial statements.

Accounts receivable from contracts with customers
Accounts receivable as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were $95.4 million and $74.0 million, respectively. An allowance for lifetime expected credit losses on accounts receivable is measured using historical credit loss experience, conditions at the end of each reporting period, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectability. Expected credit losses as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were immaterial.
Accruals for rebates, chargebacks and returns
Current and non-current accruals for rebates, chargebacks and returns as of June 30, 2026 were as follows (in thousands):
| Rebates | Chargebacks | Returns | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| As of December 31, 2025 | $129,531 | $2,682 | $567 | $132,780 |

Included in the above are non-current accruals for rebates, chargebacks and returns of $26.2 million and $0.0 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, as these amounts are not required to be paid in the twelve months from the balance sheet date.
Deferred revenue
Current and non-current deferred revenue as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 relates to a revised distribution agreement with Medison entered into in November 2022. Under the revised agreement, the Company received a non-refundable payment of $5.0 million in exchange for granting Medison exclusive distribution rights in South America. The Company has determined that the deferred revenue relates to the Company’s single, combined performance obligation to supply KIMMTRAK to Medison and to grant Medison the exclusive right to distribute KIMMTRAK in South America. The revenue will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract of 10 years from the date of the first commercial sale in the territory. Following the first commercial sale in the territory during the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company began recognizing this revenue within net revenue from sale of therapies and consequently the Company classifies the portion of deferred revenue expected to be recognized over the next twelve months as current.

If the participant violates the non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality or other similar restrictive covenant provisions of any employment contract, the right of the participant to receive these shares on vesting shall terminate immediately. The Company maintains discretion over the type and terms of equity awards granted. Share options lapse on thetenth anniversary from the date of grant, and they are not subject to performance conditions or entitled to dividends. As of June 30, 2026, the Company has reserved 6,947,060 authorized shares for future issuance under the EIP.

- Basic and diluted net (loss) income per share
Basic and diluted net (loss) income per share is calculated as follows (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | 2026 | 2025 | |
| Net (loss) income | $(808) | $(10,300) | $12,163 | $(5,277) |
| Basic weighted-average number of shares outstanding | 50,973,830 | 50,294,205 | 50,868,252 | 50,191,018 |
| Adjustment for share options and RSUs with dilutive effect | — | — | 2,034,951 | — |
| Diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding | 50,973,830 | 50,294,205 | 52,903,203 | 50,191,018 |
| Basic net (loss) income per share | $(0.02) | $(0.20) | $0.24 | $(0.11) |
| Diluted net (loss) income per share | $(0.02) | $(0.20) | $0.23 | $(0.11) |
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, due to the Company's net loss position,11,803,182 potentially dilutive shares related to outstanding share options and RSUs have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share, as their effect was anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, due to the Company's net income position,2,034,951 dilutive shares related to these instruments were included in the calculation of diluted net income per share, while an additional 4,613,598 potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the calculation, as their effect was anti-dilutive.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, due to the Company's net loss position,11,220,642 potentially dilutive shares related to share options and RSUs were excluded from the calculation for diluted net loss per share, as their effect was anti-dilutive.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, shares issuable upon the potential conversion of all of the Notes were excluded from the calculation of diluted net (loss) income per share due to their anti-dilutive effect.
- Income taxes
Income tax expense is recognized at an amount determined by multiplying the net income (loss) before income taxes for the interim reporting period by the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for the tax effect of certain items recognized in full in the interim period. As such, the effective tax rate in the condensed consolidated financial statements may differ from the Company’s estimate of the effective tax rate for the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2026.
The Company’s consolidated estimated effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was (57.2)% and 4.7%, respectively. The change in effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2026, is driven by a loss before tax of $0.5 million in contrast to a profit before tax of $12.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded a tax expense of $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively (June 30, 2025: tax expense of $0.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively). For thethree and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company excluded the United Kingdom and the United States from the calculation of the annual estimated tax rate as the Company anticipates an ordinary loss in these jurisdictions for which the tax benefit cannot be recognized.
The Company benefits from the U.K. large company Research & Development Expenditure Credit ("RDEC") regime which can generate a cash rebate of up to 15% of qualifying research and development expenditures incurred after April 1, 2023. Tax credits receivable under the RDEC regime are recorded "above the line" as a reduction from research and development expenses.
No deferred tax assets have been recognized as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The majority of the Company’s deferred tax assets relate to net operating loss and R&D carryforwards that can only be realized if the Company is profitable in future periods. Accordingly, the Company has provided a valuation allowance against a substantial amount of the net deferred tax assets due to uncertainties as to their ultimate realization.
- Segment information
The Company operates inone operating segment: immunotherapies, which is focused on pioneering and delivering transformative immunomodulating medicines in the areas of cancer, infectious diseases and autoimmune diseases. The Company primarily generates revenue fromone stream, revenue from the sale of therapies, which consists of sales of KIMMTRAK. Historically, the Company had a second stream, collaboration revenue, which is no longer significant. The Company manages its business activities on a consolidated basis. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker ("CODM"), the Chief Executive Officer, in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The measure of the segment profit or loss used is consolidated net income (loss), and the measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as total assets. The accounting policies of the immunotherapies segment are the same as those described in Note 2. "Summary of significant accounting policies". The following table summarizes the reportable segment's financial information (in thousands):

This amount is not included in the present value of operating lease liabilities above as the lease had not commenced as of June 30, 2026.
Manufacturing commitments
The Company enters into a number of manufacturing commitments for the future purchase of materials and contract manufacturing services. While the majority of such contracts can be cancelled on reasonable notice, due to the significant ongoing expenditure associated with the Company’s programs, the Company estimates it has noncancellable commitments in relation to the development and supply of product candidates totaling $18.3 million, the majority of which are estimated to be paid within twelve months from the balance sheet date.
Gates collaboration
Under the terms of the Company’s agreement with the Gates Foundation, the Company is required to develop, manufacture and commercialize soluble TCR bispecific therapeutic candidates targeted to mutually agreed neglected diseases, currently HIV, with the potential to treat people at an affordable price in developing countries. In the event of certain defaults by the Company under the agreement, which the Company considers to be within its control, the Gates Foundation has the right to sell, or require the Company to buy back, any of the shareholdings in the Company held by the Gates Foundation. In such an event, if within 12 months after such redemption or sale, the Company experiences a change in control at a valuation of more than 150% of the valuation used for the redemption or the sale of the shares, the Company has agreed to pay the Gates Foundation compensation equal to the excess of what it would have received in such transaction if it still held its shares at the time of such change of control over what it received in the sale or redemption of its shares.
Other agreements
The Company has also entered into collaboration and license agreements which provide for various future milestone payments upon the achievement of specified development, regulatory, commercial and sales-based milestones, as well as potential future royalty and other payments. These future milestone payments are contingent upon future events that are not considered probable of achievement as of June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, the Company was unable to estimate the timing or likelihood of achieving these milestones, due to the early stage of development.
Legal proceedings
The Company is not currently a party to any material legal proceedings.
