INTERIM RESULTS

for the six months ended 30 June 2025

ImmuPharma PLC (LSE:IMM) , ("ImmuPharma", the Group or the "Company"), the specialist drug discovery and development company, is pleased to announce its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2025 (the "Period").

Key Highlights (including post Period review)

Financials

For the period ended 30 June 2025, the Group reported a loss of £1.8 million, compared to a loss of £0.4 million for the same period in 2024. This increase is attributable to higher operational costs, in research and development, which rose to £0.7 million from £0.5 million in the previous year. Administrative expenses amounted to £0.4 million, a small increase from £0.3 million in 2024 and in addition to a loss on revaluation of the derivative financial asset of £0.7 million compared to a gain of £0.2 million in the same period for 2024. Share-based payments for the period were £0.05 million, compared with £0.03 million in the prior period.

As at 30 June 2025, the Group held a cash balance of £0.4 million, representing a decrease from £1.1 million at 30 June 2024. The derivative financial asset was valued at £0.6 million, up from £0.5 million a year earlier. The basic and diluted loss per share for the period was 0.38 pence, compared to 0.09 pence in the previous year.

Portfolio

P140 technology platform

·      In January 2025, innovative groundbreaking advancements announced in our preclinical research program focused on our P140 technology platform and the pathogenesis (the process by which diseases develop) of autoimmune diseases. These findings pave the way for earlier and more accurate diagnostics; identifying patients most likely to respond to P140 therapy; and improved monitoring of the patient's response to treatment with P140

·      In March 2025 a significant milestone announced in evidencing for the first time key hypotheses in the unique mechanism of action ("MOA") of our P140 autoimmune technology platform. Importantly, these new discoveries highlight that: P140 has a unique MOA, is non‐immunosuppressive, and is effective and safe

·      The favourable impact of P140 on immune system homeostasis (creating a stable internal environment) also supports P140 as a new potential standard of care for patients suffering from a multitude of autoimmune diseases, that are caused by the same underlying immune system malfunction. This also agrees with many preclinical models of autoimmune diseases where P140 has clearly demonstrated efficacy.

·      These findings will allow ImmuPharma to further expand its intellectual property portfolio, with additional new patents, strengthening the commercial viability of the P140 technology platform

Partnering opportunities

·      Based on recent progress and insights into the P140's MOA and autoimmune disease, active discussions continue with potential global commercial partners

Preclinical Portfolio

·      The core anti-infective program with antifungal (BioAMB) and antibacterial (BioCIN) candidates are progressing through pre-clinical studies

Incanthera

·      As confirmed on 1 April 2025, the warrants of 7,272,740 held in Incanthera, have been further extended to 30 September 2025, alongside a profit share agreement, if the warrant shares are exercised

Commenting on the statement and outlook Tim McCarthy, CEO and Chairman, said :

"We have made significant scientific progress over 2024 and into 2025, most importantly, announcing innovative groundbreaking advancements in our P140 technology platform and the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. This paves the way for earlier and more accurate diagnostics; identifying patients most likely to respond to P140 therapy; and improved monitoring of the patient's response to treatment with P140.

In addition, we also announced a significant milestone in evidencing for the first time, key hypotheses in the unique mechanism of action ("MOA") of our P140 autoimmune technology platform. These new discoveries highlight that: P140 has a unique MOA,  is non‐immunosuppressive, and is effective and safe.

As a Board, we remain focused on bringing our two key late-stage clinical assets, P140 for SLE and CIDP, closer to the market, and securing additional global partnering deals for P140 together with our earlier stage assets.

In closing, we would like to thank our shareholders for their support as well as our staff, corporate and scientific advisers and our partners including CNRS and Avion."

Chairman's Statement

Chairman's Report

The first part of 2025 has been a period of progress for ImmuPharma, with our late-stage pipeline assets, specifically within our P140 autoimmune technology platform, where we have gained new insights into the MOA strengthening our discussions with potential partners.

In January 2025, we announced innovative groundbreaking advancements in our preclinical research program focused on P140 and the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. This new discovery, conducted by the Company's R&D subsidiary ImmuPharma Biotech, has yielded data that provides novel insights into autoimmune disease mechanisms. Importantly for our autoimmune therapy P140, these findings pave the way for earlier and more accurate diagnostics; identifying patients most likely to respond to P140 therapy; and improved monitoring of the patient's response to treatment with P140.

In March 2025, we announced a significant milestone in evidencing for the first time key hypotheses relating to our P140 autoimmune technology platform. Importantly, these new discoveries highlight that: P140 has a unique mechanism of action ("MOA"), is non‐immunosuppressive, and is effective and safe.

The favourable impact of P140 on immune system homeostasis also supports P140 as a new potential standard of care for patients suffering from a multitude of autoimmune diseases, that are caused by the same underlying malfunction. This also agrees with many preclinical models of autoimmune diseases where P140 has clearly demonstrated efficacy.

Based on this recent  progress and insights into P140's MOA and autoimmune disease, the Company is actively in discussions with potential global commercial partners. 

P140 for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus ("SLE")

P140 is a peptide technology platform that targets autoimmune diseases such as SLE.  Like all autoimmune diseases there is currently no cure against SLE. There are 2 approved monoclonal antibody treatments that are prescribed for SLE patients but most cases are treated with steroids. Overall, the treatments are mainly immunosuppressants which can have significant side effects.

·      P140 has the potential to be a new standard of care therapy for the treatment of SLE.

·      P140 has a unique MOA: Recent results provide direct evidence for the first time of a major key hypothesis of the unique MOA of P140.

·      P140 is safe, well-tolerated and patient friendly, and potentially can be self-administered through a subcutaneous injection, twice monthly for SLE.

P140 for Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy ("CIDP")

P140 shows compelling data in another autoimmune disease, CIDP a progressive inflammatory condition of the nerves.

P140's efficacy has been proven in early pre-clinical models of CIDP.

P140 offers the potential to:

·      reduce the frequency of CIDP disease flares

·      reduce the need for hospital Intravenous Immunoglobulin Therapy ("IVIg") therapy

·      convenience of a simple auto-injection twice monthly by patient at home

·      reduce costs for patient and healthcare system

P140 - Other autoimmune indications

A number of additional autoimmune-related indications have already been identified in pre-clinical studies for the P140 platform. They all share the same common cause at the mechanistic level of the cell. Pre-clinical studies have confirmed P140 activity in asthma (acute and chronic), gout, periodontitis and IBD. There have been no new significant drug classes addressing these indications for many years.

Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique

ImmuPharma continues to have important collaboration arrangements with the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique ("CNRS"), the French National Council for Scientific Research and the largest basic research organisation in Europe.

Anti-Infection

Anti-infectives were chosen as a core therapy focus because of the ever-looming threat of new and resistant organisms, with few significant new products or even classes having been discovered or developed now for many years.

The innovative peptide technology at ImmuPharma Biotech has been a huge success and has given rise to a number of novel development programs, out of which we have identified two core programs, in pre-clinical development: BioAMB and BioCin, which we believe have the best commercial opportunity and speed to market. Despite the preclinical stage, these programs are based on existing drugs that have been used for decades so the PK, efficacy and safety of those drugs is well understood. They will also be patent protected.

Share issue

On 13 February 2025 the Company announced an equity fundraise of c.£2.91 million. The fundraise comprised  an oversubscribed placing to raise gross proceeds of £1.034 million through the issue of 27,586,667 new ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the Company with institutional and other investors at a price of 3.75 pence per Ordinary Share ("Issue Price") and a £1.875 million subscription sharing agreement with the then 6.5% shareholder Lanstead Capital Investors L.P ("Lanstead") through the issue of 50,000,000 new Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price. 

Current Activities and Outlook

In recent years, throughout the development of our clinical program, our primary focus in R&D has been to maximize the chances of success in clinical trials by gaining a deeper understanding of the MOA of P140 and the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. We firmly believe that the fastest path to market lies in the execution of well-designed clinical trials; o to achieve positive results and ultimately ensure that all individuals suffering from autoimmune diseases have the opportunity to benefit from our unique drug, P140.

Significant scientific progress has been achieved over 2024 and into 2025, most importantly, announcing innovative groundbreaking advancements on P140 and the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. Importantly paving the way for earlier and more accurate diagnostics; identifying patients most likely to respond to P140 therapy; and improved monitoring of the patient's response to treatment with P140.

In addition, we also announced a significant milestone in evidencing for the first time key hypotheses relating to  our P140 autoimmune technology platform. Importantly, these new discoveries highlight that: P140 has a unique MOA, is non‐immunosuppressive, and is effective and safe.

We will continue throughout 2025 to strengthen our intellectual property position in P140 and to move towards completing new global commercial deals.

At an operational level, we have maintained a strong focus on rigorous cost control measures and strategic outsourcing to minimise fixed overheads, while advancing our research and development efforts. These initiatives are aligned with our preparation for upcoming patent filings this year.s. Furthermore, we strengthened the balance sheet and extended our cash runway through the successful completion of an oversubscribed placing in February 2025.

We look forward to providing further updates on the progress of our pipeline and commercial deals throughout the remaining period of 2025.

In closing, we would like to thank our shareholders for their support as well as our staff, corporate and scientific advisers and our partners including CNRS and Avion.
