MARSEILLE, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 26, 2026--
Regulatory News:
Innate Pharma SA (Euronext Paris: IPH; Nasdaq: IPHA) ("Innate" or the "Company") today reported its business update and consolidated financial results for the year ending December 31, 2025. The consolidated financial statements are attached to this press release.
"2025 has been a year of strong execution across our portfolio. With the TELLOMAK-3 design finalized and FDA clearance in hand, lacutamab is planned for confirmatory Phase 3 initiation in H2 2026, dependent on current negotiations with pharma partners and royalty structures. IPH4502, our Nectin-4 exatecan ADC, is progressing rapidly, with early signs of anti-tumor activity in heavily pre-treated patients, including in urothelial cancer post-enfortumab vedotin, where we aim to validate our preclinical hypothesis supporting a differentiated profile versus MMAE-based approaches. We continue to enrich cohorts at pharmacologically active dose levels, and explore activity in tumors with low to moderate Nectin-4 expression, where we believe IPH4502 has best-in-class potential among Topo I-based Nectin-4 ADCs. We look forward to the PACIFIC-9 readout in H2 2026, which remains a key catalyst for Innate Pharma," said Jonathan Dickinson, Chief Executive Officer of Innate Pharma.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pipeline highlights:
Lacutamab (anti-KIR3DL2 antibody):
Cutaneous T Cell Lymphoma
-- The planned confirmatory Phase 3 TELLOMAK-3 trial is an open-label,
multi-center, randomized, comparative study evaluating lacutamab in
patients with Sézary syndrome and mycosis fungoides, who have failed
at least one prior systemic therapy.
-- TELLOMAK-3 includes two cohorts: a confirmatory cohort in Sézary
syndrome, intended to support a potential Accelerated Approval based on
existing TELLOMAK Phase 2 data, and a registrational cohort in mycosis
fungoides, intended to support full approval. The primary endpoint of the
study for both cohorts is progression-free survival $(PFS)$ evaluated by
blinded central review.
-- Following the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) review of the
Phase 3 protocol, with no further comments in November 2025, the trial is
planned for initiation in H2 2026.
-- The FDA provided encouraging feedback on the TELLOMAK Phase 2 results
and the proposed regulatory pathway, which may support an Accelerated
Approval in Sézary syndrome once the Phase 3 trial is underway. In
February 2025, the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation to
lacutamab for relapsed or refractory Sézary syndrome.
-- The TELLOMAK Phase 2 trial is completed, and patients who were
receiving treatment will continue to receive lacutamab through a Post
Trial Access program.
Peripheral T Cell Lymphoma (PTCL)
-- KILT (anti-KIR in T-Cell Lymphoma) Phase 2 trial, an
investigator-sponsored, randomized study led by the Lymphoma Study
Association (LYSA) evaluating lacutamab in combination with GEMOX
(gemcitabine and oxaliplatin) versus GEMOX alone in patients with
KIR3DL2-expressing relapsed/refractory PTCL, is ongoing.
IPH4502 (Nectin-4 exatecan ADC):
-- The IPH4502-101 Phase 1 study (NCT06781983), recruiting in France and
in the United States, is evaluating the safety, tolerability, and
preliminary anti-tumor activity of IPH4502 in advanced solid tumors known
to express Nectin-4, including but not limited to urothelial carcinoma,
non-small cell lung, breast, ovarian, gastric, esophageal, and colorectal
cancers.
-- The first patient was dosed in January 2025. The maximum tolerated dose
$(MTD)$ is currently being explored, with cohort enrichment ongoing at
pharmacologically active dose levels, including in patients with
urothelial cancer relapsed or refractory to enfortumab vedotin, as well
as selected additional tumor types. Preliminary anti-tumor activity was
observed in heavily pre-treated patients with advanced solid tumors with
a favorable safety profile to date.
Monalizumab (anti-NKG2A antibody), partnered with AstraZeneca:
-- The PACIFIC-9 Phase 3 trial run by AstraZeneca evaluating durvalumab
(anti-PD--L1) in combination with monalizumab or AstraZeneca's oleclumab
(anti-CD73) in patients with unresectable, Stage III non-small cell lung
cancer (NSCLC) who have not progressed following definitive
platinum-based concurrent chemoradiation therapy $(CRT)$ is ongoing.
Enrollment in the trial is complete, and data readout is expected in H2
2026.
Other Clinical stage assets
IPH5201 (anti-CD39 antibody, partnered with AstraZeneca): The MATISSE Phase 2 trial, evaluating IPH5201 in combination with durvalumab and platinum-based chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant lung cancer setting, is ongoing and continues recruitment, following a pre-planned interim analysis performed for efficacy on 40 patients. These interim results have been selected for an oral presentation in a Clinical Trials Plenary Session at the AACR Annual Meeting 2026 (April 17--22, 2026, San Diego).
IPH5301 (anti-CD73, proprietary): The investigator-sponsored CHANCES Phase 1 trial of IPH5301 with Institut Paoli-Calmettes is ongoing.
IPH6101 (ANKET$(R)$ anti-CD123, proprietary): Innate regained the rights to SAR'579/IPH6101 in July 2025. Innate has initiated a research collaboration to further assess next steps of development.
IPH6501 (ANKET(R) anti-CD20 with IL-2V, proprietary): The Phase 1/2 study has evaluated IPH6501 in patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-NHL). Following completion of dose escalation, the study has been discontinued as part of the Company's strategic prioritization of its pipeline. Clinical data are expected to be presented in 2026.
IPH6401/SAR'514 (ANKET(R) anti-BCMA, partnered with Sanofi): In a recent corporate update, Sanofi announced deprioritization of SAR'514, a trifunctional anti-BCMA NK-cell engager. Sanofi retains exclusive development and commercialization rights, and the license terms remain unchanged.
Corporate Update:
-- As previously announced, in line with its strategic focus, the Company
has streamlined its organization. Planned layoffs are being implemented
through a redundancy plan and should be completed in H1 2026. A
collective majority agreement supporting the redundancy plan was endorsed
by the French authorities (Dreets) in December 2025.
-- The ATM program, pursuant to which Innate may, from time to time, offer
and sell to eligible investors a total gross amount of up to $75 million
of American Depositary Shares ("ADS") is still in place. As of December
31, 2025, no sales have been made under the program. As of December 31,
2025, the balance available under our April 2023 sales agreement under
the At-The-Market program remains at $75 million.
Financial highlights for 2025:
The key elements of Innate's financial position and financial results as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 are as follows:
-- Cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and financial assets
amounting to EUR44.8 million as of December 31, 2025 (EUR91.1m as of
December 31, 2024), including EUR10.5m in non-current financial
instruments (EUR10.3m as of December 31, 2024).
-- As of December 31, 2025, financial liabilities amount to EUR22.6m
(EUR31.0m as of December 31, 2024). This change is mainly due to loan
repayments.
-- Revenue and other income amounted to EUR9.0m in 2025 (2024: EUR20.1m,
-55.2%). It mainly comprises revenue from collaboration and licensing
agreements (EUR2.8m in 2025 vs EUR12.6m in 2024, -77.9%), and research
tax credit (EUR6.2m in 2025 vs EUR7.5m in 2024, -17.1%):
-- Revenue from collaboration and licensing agreements mainly resulted
from the partial or entire recognition of the proceeds received pursuant
to the agreements with AstraZeneca and Sanofi. They are recognized when
the entity's performance obligation is met. Their accounting is made at a
point in time or spread over time according to the percentage of
completion of the work that the Company is committed to carry out under
these agreements:
-- (i) Revenue from collaboration and licensing agreements for
monalizumab decreased by EUR4.2m to EUR0.2m in 2025 ( EUR4.4m in
2024). As of December 31, 2025, the revenue from this agreement
has been fully recognized, and accordingly, no "Current contract
liabilities" related to these studies remains.
-- (ii) Revenue related to the research collaboration and licensing
agreement signed with Sanofi in 2022 amounted EUR0.4m as of December 31,
2025 (EUR2.1m as of December 31, 2024). After Sanofi's announcement in
October 2024 that it was returning the rights related to its second
option, terminating the research collaboration, the EUR1.7 million in
revenue allocated to the research work to be conducted by the company was
recognized in full in the income statement as of December 31, 2024.
Revenue related to research work on the first license amounted to
EUR401,000 during fiscal year 2025, as it did during fiscal year 2024.
-- (iii) Revenue related to the license and collaboration agreement signed
with Sanofi in 2016 decreased by EUR4.0m and are nil for year ended
December 31, 2025. Innate regained the right to SAR'579/IPH6101 in July
2025.
-- The research tax credit $(CIR)$ of EUR6.2m of as December 31, 2025
(EUR7.5m for year ended December 31, 2024). The 17% decrease resulted
from the eligible costs decrease.
-- Operating expenses amounted to EUR63.0m in 2025 (2024: EUR71.7m,
-12.1%):
-- General and administrative (G&A) expenses amounted to EUR19.4m in 2025
(2024: EUR19.7m, -1.6%). These expenses represented 27% and 31% of net
operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025
respectively. G&A expenses mainly comprise personnel costs not allocated
to research and development, as well as costs of services relating to the
management of the Company. The decrease between 2024 and 2025 results
from the combined effect of (i) lower non--scientific consulting fees and
(ii) reduced insurance expenses. Personnel expenses remained stable
despite EUR0.6 million in restructuring charges resulting from the
implementation of the Workforce Restructuring Plan (Plan de Sauvergarde
de Sauvegarde de l'Emploi).
-- Research and development (R&D) expenses from continuing activities
amounted to EUR43.6m in 2025 (2024: EUR52.0m, -16.1%). R&D expenses from
continuing operations amounted to EUR43.6 million and EUR52.0 million for
the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These expenses
represented 73% and 69% of net operating expenses from continuing
operations for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively.
The decrease between 2024 and 2025 mainly reflects lower direct research
and development costs related to clinical programs. Indirect research and
development expenses decreased primarily due to lower personnel costs
(excluding restructuring charges of EUR2.3 million), reduced scientific
consulting fees, lower depreciation and amortization, and a decrease in
intellectual property expenses, partially offset by restructuring charges
associated with the implementation of the Workforce Restructuring Plan
(Plan de Sauvegarde de l'Emploi).
-- A net financial income of EUR4.8m in 2025 (2024: EUR2.1m gain). The
financial income has been increased due to favorable foreign exchange
impact.
-- A net loss of EUR49.2m in 2025 (2024: net loss of EUR49.5m).

Revenue from collaboration and licensing agreements
Revenue from collaboration and licensing agreements from continuing operations decreased by EUR9.8 million, to EUR2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to EUR12.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. These revenues mainly result from the partial or entire recognition of the proceeds received pursuant to the agreements with AstraZeneca and Sanofi. They are recognized when the entity's performance obligation is met. Their accounting is made at a point in time or spread over time according to the percentage of completion of the work that the Company is committed to carry out under these agreements. The evolution in 2025 is mainly due to:
-- A EUR4.2 million decrease in revenue related to monalizumab to EUR0.2
million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to EUR4.4
million for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025,
the revenue from this agreement has been fully recognized, and
accordingly, no "Current contract liabilities" related to these studies
remains.
-- The recognition of EUR1,7 million in revenue as of December 31, 2024,
relating to the research collaboration and licensing agreement signed
with Sanofi in 2022 after the exercise of license options for an ANKET(R)
program in 2023 and ultimately discontinued in 2024 following the
termination of the agreement. However, research work on the first license
continued during fiscal year 2025, generating revenue of EUR0,4 million,
an amount identical to the revenue recognized during fiscal year 2024.
-- A EUR4.0 million decrease in revenue from the collaboration and
research license agreement with Sanofi. On April 15, 2024, the Company
announced the treatment of the first patient in the dose-expansion phase
2 of the study conducted by Sanofi evaluating the NK Cell Engager
IPH6101/SAR443579 in various blood cancers.
-- A EUR0.4 million decrease in revenue from invoicing of research and
development costs to EUR1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025,
as compared to EUR2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Government funding for research expenditures
Government funding for research expenditures decreased by EUR1.3 million, or 17.1%, to EUR6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to EUR7.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025, government funding is mainly comprised of research tax credit for 2025 fiscal year for an amount of EUR6.2 million as compared to EUR7.4 million euros for year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in eligible expenses in 2025 mainly results from (i) lower depreciation charges following the full amortization of intangible assets since fiscal year 2024 and the end of the depreciation period for certain laboratory equipment; (ii) a decline in eligible subcontracting expenses due to lower costs related to late--stage clinical studies and the conduct of clinical trials outside the Eurozone; and (iii) a decrease in patent--related expenses following their exclusion under the latest Finance Law applicable since February 2025.
The research tax credit is calculated as 30% of the amount of research and development expenses, net of grants received, eligible for the research tax credit for the fiscal year.
Operating expenses
The table below presents our operating expenses from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024: In thousands of euros December 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 ----------------------------------- -------------------- ------------------- Research and development expenses (43,620) (51,980) General and administrative expenses (19,394) (19,716) ----------------------------------- -------------------- ------------------- Operating expenses (63,013) (71,696) ----------------------------------- -------------------- -------------------
Research and development expenses
Research and development ("R&D") expenses decreased by EUR8.4 million, or 16.1%, to EUR43.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to EUR52.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. This decrease over the period is mainly due to a decrease in direct research and development expenses of EUR7.5 million over the period due mainly to the decrease in expenses related to more mature clinical development programs. Research and development expenses represented a total of 69.2% and 72.5% of operating expenses before impairment for years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Direct research and development expenses decreased by EUR7.5 million, or 26.5%, to EUR20.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to direct research and development expenses of EUR28.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.
This decrease is mainly due to a EUR7.3 million decrease in expenses related to the Company's clinical programs. This decrease in clinical programs expenses mainly results from (i) a EUR6.3 million decrease in expenses related to the IPH4502 program, following the reduction in CMC and toxicology activities, partially offset by higher costs associated with the progressive start--up of clinical activities; as a reminder, this program entered clinical development after the first patient was dosed in January 2025; (ii) a EUR0.7 million decrease in expenses related to the IPH5201 (anti--CD39) program; (iii) a EUR 0.5 million decrease in expenses related to the lacutamab program, whose Phase 2 clinical study is in the process of being closed. The EUR0.4 million increase in expenses related to the IPH6501 program reflects the advancement of clinical activities; as a reminder, this program entered clinical development after the first patient was dosed in June 2024.
As of December 31, 2025, the collaboration liabilities relating to monalizumab and the agreements signed with AstraZeneca in April 2015, October 2018 and September 2020 amounted to EUR38.2 million, as compared to collaborations liabilities of EUR48.6 million as of December 31, 2024. This decrease of EUR10.3 million mainly results from (i) net repayment of EUR4.8 million during year 2025 to AstraZeneca linked to the monalizumab cofinancing program, including Phase 3 trial INTERLINK-1 launched in October 2020 and PACIFIC-9 launched in April 2022, and (ii) the decrease of the collaboration commitment ("collaboration liabilities" in the consolidated statements of financial position) for an amount of EUR5.7 million linked to the Euro-dollar parity exchange rate variation.
Personnel and other expenses allocated to research and development decreased by EUR0.9 million, or 3.7%, to EUR22.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to an amount of EUR23.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had 125 employees, including Leadership Team members, in research and development functions, compared to 139 as of December 31, 2024.
We note a decrease in (i) other expenses of EUR1.6 million (primarily EUR1.3 million in scientific consulting fees and EUR0.3 million in intellectual property expenses), and (ii) amortization and depreciation expense of EUR0.6 million. As a reminder, this line item mainly consists of the amortization of the monalizumab intangible asset (acquired from Novo Nordisk), the IPH5201 asset (anti--CD39 acquired from Orega Biotech), as well as the amortization of the rights related to monalizumab (see Note 6) for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Finally, (iii) the EUR1.0 million decrease in personnel expenses (including a EUR0.7 million decrease in share--based payments and a EUR0.3 million decrease in salaries and wages) is offset by (iv) EUR2.3 million in restructuring charges related to the implementation of the Workforce Restructuring Plan (Plan de Sauvegarde de l'Emploi).
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative ("G&A") expenses decreased by EUR0.3 million, or 1.6% to EUR19.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to EUR19.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. G&A expenses represented a total of 30.8% and 27.5% of the total operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Personnel expenses, which includes the compensation paid to our employees and consultants, decreased by EUR0.6 million, or 7.0%, to EUR8.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to personnel expenses of EUR8.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. This decrease mainly results from EUR0.7 million decrease in share-based payment expenses compensated by a increase in salaries and wages of EUR0.1 million. As of December 31, 2025, we had 38 employees, including Leadership Team members, in general and administrative functions compared to 42 as of December 31, 2024.
Non-scientific advisory and consulting expenses mostly consist of auditing, accounting, legal and hiring services. These expenses decreased by EUR0.3 million, or 9.9%, to EUR3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to an amount of EUR3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. This decrease results from lower recruitment activity and reduced maintenance costs for the "At--The--Market" fundraising facility.
Other general and administrative expenses relate to intellectual property, depreciation and amortization and other general, administrative expenses. These expenses are stable at EUR7.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to an amount of EUR7.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Financial income (loss), net
We recognized a net financial gain of EUR4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to EUR2.1 million net financial gain for the year ended December 31, 2024. This change mainly results from the net foreign exchange gain of EUR3.2 million (net foreign exchange loss of EUR1.8 million in 2024), offset by a decrease of interest income on financial investments (net gain of EUR1.3 million in 2025 compared to EUR2.4 million in 2024) and the change in the fair value of certain financial instruments (net gain of EUR0.7 million in 2025 as compared to a net gain of EUR2.0 million in 2024).
Balance sheet items
Cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and financial assets (current and non-current) amounted to EUR44.8 million as of December 31, 2025, as compared to EUR91.1 million as of December 31, 2024. Net cash as of December 31, 2025 (cash, cash equivalents and current financial assets less current financial liabilities) amounted to EUR25.5 million (EUR72.1 million as of December 31, 2024).
As of the date of the issuance of the financial statements and based on its current operations, plans, and assumptions, the Company estimates that its cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to fund its operations until the end of third quarter of 2026. As such, cash and cash equivalents are not sufficient to fund operations for the next 12 months from the date of issuance of the financial statements. As such, there is substantial doubt regarding its ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company has undertaken several concurrent initiatives to secure the financing of its operations, including non-dilutive ffinancing options, such as pharma partnering and royalty structures which are currently under negotiation.
The other key balance sheet items as of December 31, 2025 are:
-- Current deferred revenue of EUR2.8 million and collaboration
liabilities of EUR38.2 million (including EUR31.7 million booked as
'Collaboration liability -- non-current portion') relating to the
remainder of the initial payment received from AstraZeneca with respect

research and the development work performed by AstraZeneca including
co-funding of the monalizumab program with AstraZeneca, notably the
INTERLINK-1 and PACIFIC-9 Phase 3 trials.

The net cash flow used over the year ended December 31, 2025 amounted to EUR38.3 million, compared to a net cash flow used of EUR4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The net cash flow used during the period under review mainly results from the following:
-- The Company's net cash flow used in operating activities increased by
EUR45.9 million to EUR52.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025
as compared to net cash flows used in operating activities of EUR6.9
million for the year ended December 31, 2024. In 2025, the net cash flow

of the Company's receivables with respect to future CIR payments
(corresponding to the CIR for the financial year ending December 31, 2024
that will be paid in 2028). As a reminder, in 2024, the net cash flow

in January 2024 following Sanofi's decision to exercise one of its two

platform, pursuant to the terms of the research collaboration and license
agreement signed in December 2022, (iv) the collection in May 2024 of
EUR4.8 million (including value-added tax) the treatment of the first

blood cancer. Excluding these specific effects, net cash flows used by
operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased by
EUR4.7 million. This decrease is mainly explained by the decrease in the
operating expenses.
