Philogen: introduction to the Group

1. History

Philogen ("the Group" or "the Company"), listed on the Mercato Telematico Azionario ("EXM") managed by Borsa Italiana (Reuters: PHIL) on March 3, 2021, is an Italian-Swiss company established in 1996, active in the biotechnology sector, specializing in the research and development of drugs for the treatment of high-lethality diseases̀ . In particular, the Group is a leader in the identification of ligands (human monoclonal antibodies and small organic molecules) with high affinity for tumor antigens (i.e., proteins expressed in tumors, but not in healthy tissues). These ligands are mainly used for the purpose of delivering an active ingredient (e.g., cytokines, radionuclides, cytotoxics) selectively to the diseased area. The Group's focus is primarily related to oncology drug development, although the company has also brought products for the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases to the clinic.

In recent years, Philogen has consolidated and expanded its Pipeline, both by bringing new drugs into the clinic and by initiating experimental studies in new indications with products already in development. As of the date of this Report, the Group has a diversified Pipeline due to the conduct of several Phase II and III registrational studies. In particular, Nidlegy™ and Fibromun are the subject of international Phase III clinical trials.

The Group has the availability of a research and development facility in Zurich, through its subsidiary, where new experimental drugs are discovered. The most promising prototypes (in terms of biochemical characteristics, safety and efficacy on the basis of preclinical tumor models) are subsequently transferred to Siena where they are produced at the company's GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) facilities.

Philogen has a GMP plant in Montarioso (Siena) approved by the Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA) for the production of experimental, antibody drugs in mammalian cells. In addition to the research site in Zurich, and the GMP site based in Montarioso (Siena), the Group expanded its production capabilities through the construction of a new GMP plant in Rosia (Siena) to serve future product commercialization. The new plant has received the following approvals from AIFA in 2023:

  • o MED GMP Authorization 09.11.2023 No.aM- 149/2023):
      1. Production Authorization for Commercial Products (Filling in asepsis);
      1. Production Authorization for Clinical Products (Filling in asepsis)
  • o API GMP Authorization 12.06.2024 No.API- 133/H20204)

Certification is valid in Europe, the United States, Switzerland, England, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Israel (see Mutual Recognition Agreements of the European Medicines Agency).

The figure below illustrates the three phases of Philogen's history from 1996 to Dec. 31, 2024, with their respective industrial achievements.

Note: 1L first-line treatment (i.e., newly diagnosed patients); 3L third-line treatment (i.e., patients who have failed 2 lines of therapies); Oligomet. NSCLC: oligometastatic non-small cell lung cancer; NMSC: non-melanoma skin cancer

2. Group Strategy

Philogen is a biotechnology company with strong vertical integration, as it covers all phases of drug development, including research, GMP manufacturing, and clinical development.

In particular,

Nidgley™ : The Company together with Sun Pharma, with whom it signed a license agreement in May 2023, for the marketing, licensing and supply of Nidlegy™ in Europe, Australia and New Zealand for the treatment of skin cancer, while Philogen retains rights to all other territories and therapeutic indications.

The Company announced on October 16, 2023, in a separate press release that the Phase III study in melanoma of Nidlegy™ had successfully achieved the primary study objective. In light of the achievement of this clinical milestone, Philogen submitted the marketing application for the said product to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) on June 4, 2024. The EMA completed the first step of dossier validation on June 20, 2024. The preliminary process involves the submission of applications by EMA to which the Company must respond within an assigned deadline. The Company in October 2024 received requests for document supplementation, which it completed in March 2025. For further details, please refer to the events after the end of the fiscal year.

Fibromun: On October 1, 2024, the Philogen Group announced another licensing agreement with Sun Pharma, this time for the commercialization of Fibromun (L19TNF), an innovative cancer immunotherapy currently being tested in clinical trials by Philogen for the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma and glioblastoma. Sun Pharma will have exclusive commercialization rights to Fibromun worldwide. Philogen will complete clinical trials, pursue marketing authorization with regulatory authorities, and manufacture commercial lots. Sun Pharma will be responsible for commercialization activities.

Progress in the field of small organic molecules that characterize the pipeline of subsidiary Philochem is also highlighted.

The controlled Philochem AG group has isolated high-affinity small-molecule organic ligands from DNA-encoded Chemical Libraries against various tumor-associated antigens. Through conjugation of these ligands to potent payloads such as cytotoxic drugs or radionuclides, it has developed a number of promising diagnostic and therapeutic small-molecule compounds.

Philochem has successfully completed two Phase I clinical trials with novel small molecule radio ligands and plans to initiate three more in the same area this year. The company's success was made possible by the group's extensive experience in DNA-encoded chemical libraries and clinical trial management.

Dr. Samuele Cazzamalli, Chief of Chemistry at Philochem, was honored in 2024 with the EFMC Award, an annual recognition for outstanding young medicinal chemists in industry. Dr. Cazzamalli was honored for his achievements in the discovery of novel small-molecule ligands against tumors via DNA-encoded Chemical Libraries.

The Group also carries out collaboration, licensing and service provision activities (including GMP activities) for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, entities and institutions operating in the field of biotechnology research. It has established partnerships with numerous renowned entities.

3. Intellectual property

The Group protects the results of research and development activities by making use of a large international portfolio of patents for inventions for industrial use and pending patent applications, consolidating a patent position in the field of vascular targeting.

The function of patents and patent applications is to protect market exclusivity for product candidates, the technical processes required for their production, or related protocols for medical treatment.

The duration of individual patents depends on the legal duration of patents in the countries in which they were obtained. In most countries, including Italy, the patent term is 20 years from the first asserted filing date of a non-provisional patent application or its foreign equivalent in that country.

The Group has more than one hundred national patents filed in different countries.

The patents mainly include (i) patents on "vascular targets," relating to certain ligands with affinity for markers of angiogenesis in certain indications; (ii) "technology" patents relating to key enabling technologies used in the Group's activities; (iii) "product" patents, that is, patents relating to product candidates for preclinical and clinical development and their constituent elements; and (iv) "combination" patents relating to the combination of patented product candidates with off-patent therapeutic agents.

Patent Portfolio

For the purpose of a better understanding of the intellectual properties held by the Company, the following is an outline of patents or patent applications, which are in the name of the Parent Company or of which the Parent Company holds an exclusive license as of December 31, 2024.

Macroeconomic background

The year 2024 was a year of transition for the global economy, marked by a gradual easing of the restrictive monetary policies adopted in previous years to counter high inflation. After two years of aggressive rate hikes by major central banks, the focus shifted to the sustainability of economic growth and the possibility of a "soft landing" for advanced economies. Inflation has continued to fall, supported by lower energy commodity prices and the gradual rebalancing of supply and demand in global markets. However, persistent geopolitical tensions, uncertainties in financial markets, and economic slowdown in some regions kept volatility high.

The International Monetary Fund, in its latest survey estimates world GDP growth of 3.2 percent in 2024, up from 3.3 percent in 2023. However, this growth is uneven across economies, with the United States showing a solid performance, while the Eurozone is struggling to recover from economic weakness.

After peaking in 2022-2023, inflation fell gradually in 2024, moving closer to central bank targets. However, the pace of decline has been slower than expected due to wage pressures and uncertainties related to geopolitical tensions. In the United States, inflation averaged 3.0 percent in 2024, down from 4.1 percent a year earlier. The Federal Reserve, after holding rates steady in the early part of the year, made a 50 basis point cut in September, bringing the benchmark rate into the 4.75%-5.00% range. This decision was made in response to a cooling labor market and stabilizing core inflation. During the last two 2024 meetings, rates were cut two more times, bringing the benchmark rate into the 4.25%-4.50% range. In the euro area, inflation continued to fall, averaging 2.4 percent year-on-year. The European Central Bank began reducing interest rates in the second half of the year, bringing the deposit rate to 3.00%. The reductions were justified by continued moderation in inflation and slowing economic growth. The Chinese economy continued to show signs of weakness, with episodes of deflation alternating with moments of moderate recovery. Average inflation for the year remained close to 0.2 percent, reflecting the country's difficulty in stimulating domestic demand. The People's Bank of China maintained an accommodative approach, lowering the benchmark long-term lending rate in an effort to support the real estate sector and boost investment. The Bank of Japan ended its negative interest rate policy after years of monetary accommodation. In March, the central bank raised its benchmark rate for the first time since 2016 to 0.10 percent, signaling a gradual return to normalization of monetary policy in response to inflation above 2 percent. The year ended with a further rate hike to 0.25 percent.

Financial markets reacted positively to the central banks' more accommodative turn, with major equity indices ending 2024 in positive territory. However, in the latter part of the year, due to inflation that is seen reaching the central banks' target more slowly and new U.S. President Trump's policies seen as inflationary, the market began to discount a slower monetary workout process by central banks.

On the upswing from the second half of 2023, the health of the eurozone economy. The HOCB PMI survey shows that demand for goods and services was up in 2024 compared to last year, with a particularly healthy first half of the year. The HCOB PMI Index of Eurozone Composite Production, which consists of a weighted average of the HCOB PMI Index of Manufacturing Production and the HCOB PMI Index of Tertiary Activity, hit 49.6 in December. Over the past year, the index has seven times exceeded 50.0, the threshold separating an expanding economy from one in recession. Manufacturing activity in the eurozone, while improving over 2023, has continued to contract while services activity has been expanding for most of the year. In the United States, the composite PMI index showed an expanding economy, showing an improvement over 2023. Similar to what was shown in the Eurozone, the services sector also drove growth in the United States compared to the manufacturing sector.

In its latest publication, the International Monetary Fund confirmed its growth estimates for 2024 while raising those for 2025 slightly. In its World Economic Outlook, it now expects world GDP to rise 3.2 percent in 2024 from 3.3 percent in 2023, and then to grow +3.3 percent in 2025 (the previous estimate was +3.2 percent). As for the Eurozone, the estimates are +0.8% in 2024 and decrease by 0.2% to 1.0% in 2025. In Italy +0.6% for 2024 while estimates for 2025 are lowered by 0.1% to 0.7%. The headline inflation index is forecast to decline gradually from 6.7% in 2023 to 5.7% in 2024 and 4.2% in 2025. The forecast for 2025 was adjusted downward by 0.1%.

Philogen stock performance

Philogen's (Ticker: PHIL) share price during 2024 recorded a positive performance (+5.41 percent) ending the year at a price per share of 19.50 euros.

In comparative terms, the stock underperformed the market of Italian, but positioned itself above the benchmark sector. The FTSE MIB index, which represents the major domestic companies, performed better, at 12.63 percent; the FTSE Italia Mid Cap index, which represents companies with a similar capitalization to Philogen, also performed positively, at 7.20 percent. At the sector level, the benchmark index, the SPDR S&P Biotech, rose 0.86 percent. The stock is characterized by low liquidity.As is well known, 2024 expressed a positive market but biased toward larger capitalization and liquidity companies. Thus, company-specific newsflow was the key determinant to differentiate itself from a still very complex market where macroeconomic issues (wars, inflation, and interest rates) strongly conditioned the portfolio choices of global investors. In this context, Philogen managed to create a lot of interest in the name thanks to a pipeline of achievements well spread over the year and solid future prospects. As of December 31, 2024, market capitalization was €791.92 million. This capitalization includes both ordinary shares, which are listed on MTA, and special category B shares, which, on the other hand, are excluded from the capitalization of the Italian Stock Exchange, which only includes ordinary shares in the capitalization calculation. In particular, it should be noted that the average capitalization, net of category B shares, from the date of the start of trading (March 3, 2021) to December 31, 2024 is approximately 470 million euros.

(hereinafter also referred to as the "Company" or the "Parent Company" and together with its Swiss subsidiary Philochem, the "Group") is presented to accompany the annual financial statements of Philogen S.p.A. and the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year 2024.

This Management is intended to provide income, equity, financial and management information about the Company and the Group accompanied, where possible, by historical elements and/or alternative performance indicators and is prepared in accordance with the provisions of Article 2428 of the Civil Code and Legislative Decree No. 58 of February 24, 1998 ("Consolidated Finance Act" or "TUF").

Instead, please refer to the notes to the financial statements for all news pertaining to the illustration of the financial statements and consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

1. Group Disclosure

The Group focuses its activities on developing drugs based mainly on antibody conjugates, capable of achieving selective accumulation at the sites where the disease is present.

This is possible thanks to a scientific approach known as tumor targeting of which the Group is one of the recognized scientific leaders worldwide. In this area, the Group carries out internally all phases of its production cycle, which is divided into the discovery and production activities of new drugs and the coordination of preclinical and clinical studies, at its facilities in Siena, Italy, and at the research center in Zurich, Switzerland, where the subsidiary Philochem AG is based.

Since 2019, the Group has focused development activities mainly on two most advanced pipeline products namely Fibromun and NidlegyTM by embarking on a pathway of registration trials of the two drugs. At the same time, it has redesigned a competitive and diversified pipeline so as to opportunistically evaluate licensing agreements on its products or platforms in development

Specifically, with reference to the product NidlegyTM it is reported that the Company informed the market on October 16, 2023, that it has positively achieved the primary endpoint of the Phase III Pivotal Study in patients with locally advanced fully resectable melanoma and on June 4, 2024 - Philogen S.p.A. and Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited together with subsidiaries and/or affiliates, announced the submission of a marketing authorization application (MAA) to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for approval of the product Nidlegy™ . The submission of the MA application is based on clinical data from the Phase 3 PIVOTAL study (PH-L19IL2TNF-02/15), the primary results of which were presented at ASCO 2024, and the Phase 2 study (PH-L19IL2TNF-02/12). If approved, the Nidlegy™ product would become the first immunocytokinebased drug to come to market

On October 1, 2024, Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited together with its subsidiaries and/or affiliates, and Philogen S.p.A announced that they have entered into a license agreement for the worldwide commercialization of Philogen's innovative product, Fibromun (L19TNF). Fibromun, an innovative cancer immunotherapy, is currently being tested in registrational clinical trials by Philogen for the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma and glioblastoma. Under the terms of the agreement, Sun Pharma will have exclusive rights to commercialize Fibromun worldwide. Philogen will complete ongoing registrational clinical trials for the product, pursue marketing authorization with regulatory authorities, and manufacture commercial lots. Sun Pharma will be responsible for commercialization activities.

The Group has the availability of a research and development facility in Zurich (through its subsidiary "Philochem"), where new experimental drugs are discovered. The most promising prototypes (in terms of biochemical characteristics, safety and efficacy on the basis of preclinical tumor models) are subsequently transferred to Siena where they are produced at the Company's GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) facilities. Philogen has a GMP plant in Montarioso (Siena) approved by the Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA) for the production of experimental, antibody drugs in mammalian cells. A second GMP manufacturing plant was also built at the Rosia (Siena) site aimed at the production of both commercial drugs and for clinical trials. This new plant has received certification from AIFA's GMP MED office in 2023. The certification is valid in Europe, the United States, Switzerland, England, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Israel (see Mutual Recognition Agreements of the European Medicines Agency).

It should be noted that the Parent Company is considered an "SME" in accordance with Article 1, paragraph 1, letter w) quater 1 of the TUF which defines small and medium-sized enterprises, issuers of listed shares that have a market capitalization less than 1 billion euros, issuers of listed shares that have exceeded this limit for three consecutive financial years are not considered SMEs, (Consob publishes the list of companies on its website). Note that category B shares (multiple voting shares) are excluded from the capitalization of the Italian Stock Exchange. Philogen's average capitalization, net of category B shares, from the date of start of trading (March 3, 2021) to December 31, 2024 is 469.74 million euros.

2. Research and development activities

3. Scientific facts that occurred during the fiscal year

The following are the main scientific facts, with reference to the year ended December 31, 2024

3.1 Summary of development and GMP activities carried out in the fiscal year

The Group reports the following major industrial milestones achieved during the period:

Proprietary products

  • 1) Antibody-based products:
  • o NidlegyTM is a pharmaceutical product, proprietary Philogen, consisting of two active ingredients, L19-IL2 and L19- TNF. The L19 antibody is specific for Fibronectin B domain, a protein expressed in tumors (and other diseases), but absent in most healthy tissues. Interleukin-2 (IL2) and Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) are inflammatory cytokines with antitumor activities. NidlegyTM is currently being studied in Phase II and III clinical trials.

Regarding the European Phase III study in locally advanced melanoma, it was announced on October 16, 2023 in a special press release that Nidlegy™ had positively achieved the primary study objective. Submission for marketing application to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) was made on May 31, 2024. The EMA completed the first step of dossier validation on June 20, 2024. The preliminary process involves EMA sending questions to which the Company must respond within an assigned deadline. The Company in October 2024 received requests for document supplementation, which it completed in March 2025. For further details, please refer to the events after the end of the fiscal year.

The U.S. Phase III Study in locally advanced melanoma has enrolled more than 50 percent of patients and is being tested in about 30 clinical centers.

Finally, two Phase II studies are underway for the treatment of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). The Duncan study is active in Switzerland, Germany, and Poland and focuses on advanced basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). The study has completed patient enrollment. The Society is currently planning global registrational studies in these indications scheduled to begin in early 2025. The Intrinsic study in Italy and France is also underway, which aspires to explore the activity of Nidlegy™ in 70 patients with various types of NMSC (e.g., Kaposi's sarcoma, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, malignant adnexal skin tumors, keratocanthoma, Merkel cell carcinoma, cSCC, and BCC).

On May 30, 2023, Philogen entered into an agreement with Sun Pharma to market, license and supply Nidlegy™ in Europe, Australia and New Zealand for the treatment of skin cancer. Philogen retains rights to all other territories and indications.

In addition, on June 1, 2023, Philogen also announced a clinical collaboration agreement with Merck Sharp & Dohme. The agreement focuses on performing a Phase II clinical trial in patients with unresectable stage III and IV melanoma who have previously failed treatment with check-point inhibitors.

o Fibromun is a proprietary drug product consisting of the antibody L19 fused to TNF. The drug is currently being studied in six Phase I, Phase II and Phase III clinical trials.

Regarding the European Phase III Study in first-line soft tissue sarcoma (STS) in combination with doxorubicin, 125 of the 118 patients planned in the protocol were enrolled through the collaboration of 25 open clinical centers in Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland, and France. On February 20, 2024, an independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board reviewed the efficacy and safety data of the study in the context of a protocol-planned interim analysis and recommended that the trial be continued without changes.

Regarding the U.S. Phase IIb Study in first-line leiomyosarcoma (the most common subtype of STS) in combination with doxorubicin, the study is ongoing in seven centers in the United States. Philogen is currently opening new centers.

Regarding the European Phase II Study in third-line soft tissue sarcoma (STS) in combination with dacarbazine, 93 of 92 planned in 22 centers were enrolled.

Regarding the Phase I/II/IIb Study in first-line glioblastoma in combination with radiotherapy and temozolomide, 13 patients have been enrolled in Phase I. Cohorts 1, 2 and 3 have been completed, and cohort 4 is ongoing. A total of five cohorts are planned for Phase I, before proceeding to the single-arm portion of Phase II. Phase II with 32 patients is scheduled to begin in 2024. The randomized portion of Phase IIb, with registrational potential, envisions between 166 and 206 patients and is expected to begin when consolidated Phase II data are available.

Regarding the Phase I/II Study in European second-line Glioblastoma in combination with lomustine 15 patients were enrolled in the Phase I portion. As of December 31, 2023, 120 of the 158 patients planned for Phase II of the study have been enrolled. The encouraging data from Cohort 1 were published in the journal Science Translational Medicine last May 2023. The study is currently ongoing in Switzerland, Germany and Italy.

The Society has initiated a new Phase II study in Glioblastoma pretreated in combination with lomustine in the United States. The study has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and has enrolled 20 of the 90 patients under the protocol.

On Oct. 1, 2024, Philogen announced that it has entered into an agreement with Sun Pharma to market, license and supply Fibromun globally for the treatment of cancer.

2) Small molecule products

o OncoFAP is small molecule with very high affinity for fibroblast activation protein (FAP). The product is suitable for diagnostic and therapeutic applications of a variety of metastatic solid tumors, as FAP is over-expressed in more than 90% of epithelial tumors (e.g., breast, colorectal, ovarian, lung, skin, prostate, and pancreatic malignancies, as well as in some soft tissue and bone sarcomas).

Regarding the development of OncoFAP-radio-conjugate for diagnostic applications, several patients with different types of cancer have already undergone imaging in Germany with 68Ga-OncoFAP. In addition, it has completed the Phase I clinical trial and Partner Blue Earth Diagnostic (Bracco) will pursue product development from Phase II onward.

The therapeutic derivative, OncoFAP-23, is undergoing a Phase I clinical trial approved by AIFA. The first patient is expected in the coming weeks.

Another derivative in preclinical trials is OncoFAP-GlyPro-MMAE, consisting of (i) the OncoFAP ligand, (ii) a cleavable linker, and (iii) a cytotoxic drug, which is selectively released at the tumor site and has shown superior performance compared with other linker derivatives commonly used in antibody-drug conjugates (such as those with valine-citrulline). These small-molecule organic-based "drug-conjugates" are an attractive alternative to Antibody-Drug Conjugates due to their superior targeting performance and much lower manufacturing costs. To date, the drug has completed of a clinical trial in dogs with spontaneous neoplasia at University of Milan where it demonstrated the ability to induce objective responses in monotherapy. It is also planned to begin GMP production of OncoFAP-GlyPro-MMAE, preparatory to beginning clinical trials in human patients.

o OncoACP3 is small molecule with very high affinity for Prostate Acid Phosphatase protein. The product is suitable for diagnostic and therapeutic applications for prostate cancer.

Regarding the development of OncoACP3-radio-conjugate for diagnostic applications, several prostate cancer patients have already undergone imaging in Germany with 68Ga-OncoACP3. In addition, a Phase I study is planned in Italy for which an experimental protocol has been submitted.

The therapeutic derivative, OncoACP3, is undergoing preparatory activities for Phase I launch. Preclinical data show excellent tumor targeting capabilities, which are necessary for therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals.

Products in partnerships

  • o Partnerships on Nidlegy™ continue with Sun Pharma in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand (marketing, licensing, and supply agreement) and with Merck Sharp & Dohme (clinical collaboration in the United States)
  • o Start partnership on Fibromun with Sun Pharma globally for treatment of cancer
  • o Partnerships continue on Dekavil (Pfizer) and small organic molecules (Bracco).

GM

The production workshop and Quality Control Laboratories at the Philogen site in Rosia, Siena, which was already operational at the end of FY2022, reached full functionality during FY2023 and obtained certifications from the AIFA authority.

The Documentary Quality Management System has been implemented in accordance with cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practice) and mandatory EU regulatory requirements. The staff training plan is formalized on an annual basis, documented and reviewed by the Quality Assurance department. Any deviations and nonconformities are managed according to approved internal procedures, as is the management of corrective actions (CAPAs) generated by such events. In addition, change management and supplier status are monitored continuously. Machines, equipment, computerized systems and personnel, in their critical activities, undergo periodic validation plans in order to ensure a reliable reproducible and safe process.

Specifically, the production facility at the Rosia site, has obtained the following GMP authorizations from AIFA: (i) GMP MED Authorization 09.11.2023 (N°aM- 149/2023); (ii) Production Authorization for Commercial Products (Filling); (iii) Production Authorization for Clinical Products (Filling); and (iv) API GMP Authorization 12.06.2024 (N°API- 133/H20204) for the Production of Active Substances for Commercial and Clinical Use.

The Company owns an additional production site in Montarioso (Siena), whose GMP authorization was renewed by AIFA in 08/28/2023 (No. API-100/2023), a plant that is intended only for the production of experimental drugs for clinical trials. The Company has also invested to modernize the production systems with new bioreactors at that site. It should be noted that, the production site in Montarioso (Siena) during the first half of 2024 was also used for contract manufacturing activities.

4. Significant events that occurred during the fiscal year

4.1 . Cyber-attack

In January 2024, the Company experienced an attempted cyber-attack (ransomware category) to its computer systems that was promptly detected and contained by the Company's IT department, which immediately put in place the security and control procedures required by company protocols for this type of cyber attack.

The Company in this activity was supported by a leading IT company specializing in cyber security, which assisted it in the process of identifying and identifying the methods used for the attempted access to IT systems and simultaneously contributed its assistance in mapping the data and services affected by the attack.

Thanks to the commitment and dedication of the Company's various departments, the temporary suspension of IT systems attributable to the aforementioned attempt did not affect the Company's operations and business.

Following an overall analysis of the event, performed internally by the Company with the support of its consultants, it was possible to find that: (i) the percentage of data and/or information subject to the attempted attack was minimal, but more importantly (ii) there was no exfiltration of sensitive data such as to generate harm to the Company and/or third parties.

The findings of the event were detailed in a technical report ("Incident Response Report") containing specific "remediation" actions that the Company promptly began to implement be in order to further strengthen its IT infrastructure by installing new safeguards to protect it and the data it contains.

In implementation of the remediation plan, the Company implemented a Security Operation Center service, SIEM system and cloud back-up with the aim of increasing the security level of Philogen's IT infrastructure.

In addition, the Company's IT department has initiated a training and education program for all personnel, with the aim of increasing awareness and sensitivity to information security.

4.2 Internal Dealing Transactions

In the first half of 2024, Prof. Dario Neri, Dr. Duccio Neri and Dr. Giovanni Neri resigned from their positions as Strategic Executives of the Company, this decision was attributable to the growth and concomitant reorganization of the Company.

In view of the above, in order to ensure full operation and business continuity, the Board of Directors revised the delegated powers of the executive directors, particularly those of the CEO, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, and the Managing

Director Dr. Giovanni Neri. This revision of the operational proxies was carried out to respond effectively to the Company's new operational needs, with the aim of optimizing the decision-making process and fostering more efficient collaboration among the various corporate functions and departments.

4.6 License Agreement

In the third quarter of 2024 Philogen and Terapia SA (a Sun Pharma group company) entered into an Exclusive Commercialization, License and Supply Agreement for the innovative product Fibromun worldwide.

In December 2024 the Company repaid the remaining loan with Banca Intesa amounting to 1.50 million euros and consequently the underlying derivative.

For more details regarding the hedging derivative, see Note 22 to the consolidated financial statements and Note 24 to the statutory financial statements.

4.8 Construction of new building and photovoltaic system

During the first half of 2024, the Company completed a new office building/management center (approximately 700 square meters) at the Rosia (Siena) plant. The said building was constructed by Philogen within the production site in Rosia, which Philogen itself has the availability of by virtue of a real estate lease agreement signed with the company Rendo S.r.l. in May 2019. Specifically, Philogen was able to construct the said property following the authorization received from the company Rendo S.r.l. in accordance with the provisions of the lease agreement.

In light of the combined provisions of Articles 1592 and 1593 of the Civil Code, it can be considered that this property constitutes an improvement on third-party property in that it was built, on the authorization of the Rendo property, the design and construction costs of which were fully borne by the Company, to ensure that the property was built to meet specific needs of value, functionality, and above all, representation of the Company.

From an accounting point of view, such leasehold improvements are depreciated over the entire lease term of the asset to which they relate. In this specific case, the useful life has been estimated considering a tacit renewal of the lease agreement related to the Rosia site currently in place, in accordance with IFRS 16, and therefore the depreciation process will be completed in FY 2034.Please refer to the section on accounting standards for specific aspects on IAS 16 and IFRS16.

The aforementioned building is located in the immediate vicinity of the production facility built by the Company at the Rosia site, which, as specified above, has obtained the following GMP authorizations from AIFA: GMP Authorization MED 09.11.2023 N°aM- 149/2023): (i) Production Authorization for Commercial Products (Filling); (ii) Production Authorization for Clinical Products (Filling) and the Recognition and appointment of the related figure of "Qualified Person" (QP) of site.

In addition to the above, it should be noted that in March 2024, the Municipality of Sovicille issued a permit to build a photovoltaic plant at the parking lot of the Rosia site plant. The plant was completed in the year 2024. To date, it is not operational because the Enel connection has not yet been activated and the relevant regulatory documentation has not yet been completed.The construction costs are accounted for as construction in progress in these financial statements.

More information on the subject of the construction of the new building can be found in Note 30 to the consolidated financial statements and Note 32 to the annual financial statements.

4.9 Sustainability Report 2024

The Company has prepared its third Sustainability Report within which the progress made has been highlighted and the sustainability philosophy confirmed, based on concrete choices, actions and projects aimed at leading the Group towards a sustainable, solid and quo future, while continuing to generate value for investors, patients and all our Stakeholders.

Profit (Loss) for the period 45.292 61,2% (6.161) (26,6) % 51.452 835,1 %

(*) Operating costs are given by the sum of the following balance sheet items: purchases of raw materials and consumables, costs of services, costs of leases and rentals, personnel costs, and other operating costs

(**) EBITDA is operating income before depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a measure defined and used by the Group to monitor and evaluate the Group's operating performance, but it is not defined in the IFRS framework; therefore, it should not be considered as an alternative measure for evaluating the Group's operating income performance. The Company believes that EBITDA is an important metric for measuring the Group's performance because it allows the Group's margins to be analyzed by eliminating the effects arising from nonrecurring economic elements. Since EBITDA is not a measure the determination of which is regulated by the reference accounting standards for the preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements, the criterion applied to determine EBITDA may not be homogeneous with that adopted by other groups, and therefore may not be comparable.

Revenues from contracts with customers amounted to 73,996 thousand euros in the year ended December 31, 2024 showing an increase of approximately 220% (23,130 thousand euros as of December 31, 2023), due to the contracts signed during the year 2024 and the continuation of previously signed contracts

As a reminder, on May 30, 2023, Philogen announced that it had entered into an agreement with Sun Pharma to market, license, and supply Nidlegy™ in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand for the treatment of skin cancer. Philogen retains rights to all other territories and therapeutic indications.

In addition, on October 1, 2024, Philogen signed a global licensing agreement with Sun Pharma to commercialize Fibromun (L19TNF), an innovative cancer immunotherapy currently being tested for the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma and

glioblastoma. Sun Pharma will have exclusive commercialization rights to Fibromun worldwide. Philogen will complete clinical trials, pursue marketing authorization with regulatory authorities and manufacture commercial lots, while Sun Pharma will be responsible for commercialization activities. The above licensing agreement consolidates the partnership with Sun Pharma, with whom Philogen had announced in 2023, that it had entered into an agreement to commercialize, license and supply Nidlegy™ in Europe, Australia and New Zealand for the treatment of skin cancer. Philogen retains rights to all other territories and therapeutic indications

The Company has no products on the market yet but is awaiting marketing authorization for the product Nidlegy™ . Therefore, the Company's revenues are not yet stable, and up front payments, milestones, and progress on thirdparty collaboration contracts are reflected in the income statement.

Other income amounted to 3,657 thousand euros in the year ended December 31, 2024, showing an increase of approximately 83.7% over the previous year. This change is mainly attributable to the non-refundable grant related to the research and development tax credit for drugs determined on the basis of costs incurred in 2024 for this purpose.

Operating costs mainly include production material costs, clinical and preclinical service costs, personnel costs, and other operating costs and show an increase of approximately 18.8 percent from the previous year. This variance is mainly attributable to the increase in:

  • (i) costs for services, which increase from 13,989 thousand euros in 2023 to 16,483 thousand euros in 202 4. In particular, there are significant increases in cost items related to the clinical phase of drug trials.
  • (ii) Personnel cost increased from 12,175 thousand euros to 15,623 thousand euros in 2024 due to qualified new hires and the enhancement of incentive plans for employees and directors.

More details can be found in Note No. 6 to the consolidated financial statements and Note No. 6 to the statutory financial statements

EBITDA increases exponentially from a negative value of 5,119 euros to a positive value of approximately 41,618 euros, an increase of 46,818 thousand euros

Depreciation and amortization shows an increase of about 6.8 percent due to full utilization of plant machinery and depreciation of leasehold improvements.

EBIT, calculated as the difference between EBITDA and depreciation and amortization, shows a positive balance of 37,731 thousand euros for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Net financial management for the year ended December 31, 2024 shows a net positive result of Euro 2,644 thousand given by the difference between financial income of Euro 5,930 thousand and financial expenses of Euro 3,286 thousand The net result can be mainly attributed to the following items of financial income and expenses: (i) net capital gains from fair value valuation of financial assets valued at Euro 1.481 thousand, (ii) income from the realization of financial assets in the amount of Euro 1,373 thousand, (iii) foreign exchange gains in the amount of Euro 2,679 thousand, (iv) interest income in the amount of Euro 396 thousand, (v) realized capital losses in the amount of Euro 180 and from valuation in the amount of Euro 112 thousand, (vi) foreign exchange losses in the amount of Euro 2,473 thousand (vii) interest expenses on leases in the amount of Euro 341 thousand (viii) interest expenses on loans in the amount of Euro 144 thousand.

More details on financial management can be found in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements and Note 7 to the annual financial statements.

It should be noted that the Company invests excess liquidity, compared to ordinary needs, in easily liquid financial instruments, in accordance with the "Policy for Financial Investment Management" approved and periodically updated by the Board of Directors. The average stock of the portfolio of financial investments in the year 2024 amounted to 58,736 thousand euros and brought a total return of approximately 5.5% given by realized income and fair value from valuation (represented in accordance with IFRS accounting standards, partly in the income statement and partly in the equity reserve of FVOCI).

More details on current financial assets can be found in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements and Note 19 to the annual financial statements.

Taxes amounting to 4,916 thousand euros show the net balance between current taxes and deferred tax assets, the latter mainly attributable to the recognition of taxes on past tax losses.

As a result of the above, the Group closed the year as of December 31, 2024 with a net positive result of 45,292 thousand euros.

5.3 Alternative Performance Indicators

Management in order to assess the Group's performance monitors, among other things, the Alternative Equity and Financial Performance Indicators ("AHPs").

For a correct interpretation of these IAPs, the following is highlighted:

  • GPIs are constructed from historical data and are not indicative of the Group's future performance;
  • IAPs are not measures whose determination is regulated by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS);
  • KPIs should not be considered a substitute for the indicators provided by the relevant accounting standards (IFRS);
  • reading of these GPIs should be done in conjunction with the Group's financial information from the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024;
  • the definitions of IAPs used by the Group, as they are not derived from the relevant accounting standards, may not be homogeneous with those adopted by other groups and therefore comparable with them.

Below are the Alternative Economic Performance Indicators identified by the Group:

Figures in thousands of euros and in percent Year ended December 31
2024 2023
Revenue from contract with customers 73.996 23.130
EBITDA (*) 41.618 (5.199)
EBITDA Margin 56,2% (22,5)%
EBIT 37.731 (8.840)

(*) EBITDA is operating income before depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a measure defined and used by the Group to monitor and evaluate the Group's operating performance, but it is not defined in the IFRS framework; therefore, it should not be considered an alternative measure for evaluating the Group's operating income performance. Since EBITDA is not a measure whose determination is governed by the relevant accounting standards for the preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements, the criterion applied to determine EBITDA may not be homogeneous with that adopted by other groups, and therefore may not be comparable.

The following table shows the reconciliation of EBIT and EBITDA with profit (loss) for the period.

7. Organizational Management and Control Model ex Legislative Decree 231/2001 and Whistleblowing Procedure

Philogen S.p.A., in order to clearly and transparently define the set of values by which it is inspired to achieve its institutional objectives, has adopted, as of 2020, an Organization, Management and Control Model pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001, which has been updated over time to incorporate the evolution of applicable regulations ("Model").

In particular, during 2024, the Company reviewed, updated and integrated the Model and the related Code of Ethics on the basis of legislative changes and changes to the corporate governance structure adopted by the Company, in order to be able to promptly incorporate them into the Model.

In 2024, the Supervisory Board carried out the appropriate internal audits inherent in Company's application of the adopted Model, conducting constant verification of the Company's activities and noting the absence of any violations and compliance with the Organizational Model adopted by Philogen

In compliance with Directive (EU) 2019/1937 and Legislative Decree No. 24 of March 10, 2023 (the so-called "Whistleblowing Decree"), the Company has implemented a platform for handling reports of wrongdoing concerning the Company. The recipient of any reports is the Supervisory Board, which monitors, through the platform, the communications.

In addition, the Company's Supervisory Board has initiated a training and education program targeting the Company's employees with the aim of raising awareness and sensitivity on the review of the Model and Code of Ethics.

Current versions of the Organizational Model ("General Part"), Code of Ethics and Whistleblowing Procedure are available both on the Company's website (http://www.philogen.com/) in the Governance section (code-ethics-and-model-231) and on the company intranet available to employees.

8. Information on corporate governance and ownership structure

Philogen S.p.A. adheres to the Corporate Governance Code for Listed Italian Companies, adapting it according to its own characteristics.

In order to meet the transparency requirements of industry regulations, the "Report on Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure" required by Article 123-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance was prepared, containing a general description of the governance system adopted by Philogen S.p.A. as well as information on the ownership structure, the organizational model adopted pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 231 of 2001, and the degree of adherence to the Corporate Governance Code, including the main governance practices applied and the characteristics of the risk management and internal control system in relation to the financial reporting process.

In particular, the aforementioned "Report on Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure" indicates the most significant events that characterized corporate management during 2024, including, the resignation of key executives Dr. Duccio Neri, Prof. Dario Neri and Dr. Giovanni Neri, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, respectively, and the consequent revision to the powers delegated to the aforementioned executive directors, and the assessments made by the Board of Directors on the "Committee's Recommendations for 2024" contained in the letter sent to the Company by the Chairman of the Corporate Governance Committee at the Board of Directors' meeting on January 30, 2025.

This document is available on the Company's website at (http://www.philogen.com/)

9. Risk Assesment

In accordance with industry regulations, applicable laws and the Corporate Governance Code dictated by the Italian Stock Exchange, the Group has adopted an Internal Control and Risk Management System (SCIGR), a set of "tools" (directives, procedures, etc.) intended to provide reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of the objectives of operational efficiency and effectiveness, reliability of financial and management information, compliance with laws and regulations, and safeguarding of corporate assets.

The Group has a corporate governance model whose main functions and bodies involved in audit activities or recipients of audit results are:

  • Board of Directors, which plays a role in guiding and evaluating the adequacy of the system and has identified from among its members an Executive Director to oversee the functionality of the SCIGR;
  • Board of Auditors, which supervises the effectiveness of the SCIGR;
  • Risk Control Committee with the task of supporting, with adequate preliminary activity, the evaluations and decisions of the Board of Directors related to the internal control and risk management system, as well as those related to the approval of periodic financial reports;
  • Financial Reporting Officer, who oversees the adequacy and effective application of proper accounting procedures;
  • Internal Audit, a function responsible for verifying that the SCIGR is functioning and adequate;
  • Single-member Supervisory Board, with the task of verifying the efficiency and effectiveness of the Organization Control Model (and where necessary amend and supplement this Model), with respect to the prevention and commission of the crimes provided for in Legislative Decree 231/2001;
  • Function heads, responsible for overseeing the proper application of company procedures.

The adequacy of risk mapping and, consequently, the related Audit Plan is constantly monitored by the Company, which is supported in this activity by the Internal Auditor's function. During 2024, the Internal Auditor's function undertook the audit activities set forth in the Audit Plan 2022-2024, according to the Audit methods, methodologies and techniques set forth therein.

Specifically, the following risks were audited as per the audit plan: "Insider trading and market abuse" (Risk R28), "Personnel safety" (Risk R17) and "Profitability and marginality" (Risk R13). At the outcome of the audit of each area, Internal Audit sent the Company a specific Audit Report containing a summary of the activities carried out and any observations and/or suggestions addressed to the Company.

In the final part of the year 2024, the phase of defining the new three-year audit plan for the period 2025-2027 was initiated. The update of the Risk Assesment process aims to renew the tools in use, aligning them with business developments and integrating key ESG factors.

The Audit plan for the three-year period 2025-2027 will be submitted to the Board of Directors for approval on March 27, 2025.

10. Management and coordination activities

Pursuant to Paragraph 5 Article 2497-bis of the Civil Code, it is hereby announced that the Group is not subject to management and coordination activities by other companies.

11. Secondary locations

The company has no branch offices.

12. Major risks and uncertainties

The following is a more detailed analysis of the information as specifically required by the provisions of Article 2428 of the Civil Code.

The mapping and management of business risks is an activity carried out constantly by the Group to frame in terms of probability and impact all aspects that, in some way, may hinder the achievement of business objectives. Business risks are distinguished between operational, if related to business processes and activities, and financial, if related instead to the financial area.

12.1 Strategic and operational risks

Risks related to dependence on senior figures, key personnel, and specialized personnel

By virtue of the specialized nature of its activities, the Group is significantly dependent on qualified management and other key scientific personnel, for whom it faces intense competition and will need to expand in order to grow, such as, in particular, the Chairman of the Scientific Committee and CEO, who has extensive scientific research experience at some of Europe's leading research centers, including the Medical Research Council and ETH Zurich. The possible loss of key personnel, or the inability to attract and retain additional qualified personnel, could adversely affect the development and commercialization of product candidates. The occurrence of such risks could result in serious adverse effects on the Group's economic, financial and asset position.

Risks associated with conducting research, clinical and preclinical studies, and manufacturing

The Group's strategy is aimed at the commercialization of pharmaceutical products that are still in the experimental phase, only two of which are in the more advanced study phase. There are significant uncertainties related to the success of the experimental phase and obtaining approvals from the relevant authorities to market the pharmaceutical products. In addition, the products, may not meet market expectations in terms of efficacy and safety and, therefore, no revenue could be generated from their commercialization. If the Group is unable to commercialize the products and license its product candidates, or other competing products are preferred by the market over the Group's products, there will be serious adverse effects on the Group's economic, financial and asset position.

Risks related to the protection of intellectual property rights and dependence on trade secrets

The Group's business success will also depend on its ability to protect its intellectual or industrial property rights, including potential ones (including processes and use of the same products), in the European Union, the United States of America, Japan and other countries. If the Group's efforts in protecting exclusive and intellectual property rights were insufficient, competitors could exploit the Group's technologies to create competing products, erode competitive advantage, and seize all or part of market share. The occurrence of such risks could result in material adverse effects on the Group's economic, financial and asset position.

Risks associated with changes and non-compliance with industry regulations

In conducting the clinical trial activities of compounds, the Group must comply with relevant national and international regulations, including, in particular, the Good Manufacturing Practice ("GMP") and Good Clinical Practice ("GCP") guidelines. Any changes in the current regulatory framework could result in a lengthening of the expected timeframe for the production of compounds and/or the clinical testing of them, and an increase in costs, with consequent negative effects on the Group's own economic, asset and financial situation.

Risks related to information systems

Information technology systems are exposed to the risk of computer network failures and/or malfunctions, data security breaches, the risk of viruses, unauthorized access as well as natural events that could result in a loss of data or the dissemination/communication of confidential and/or proprietary information with potential negative effects on the Group's activities and prospects for growth and development. Philogen ensures the security of sensitive data and information and intellectual property by managing the entire cycle that includes detecting threats and defining countermeasures in response to attacks suffered. The Group's IT defense system includes specific organizational safeguards - in compliance with regulations and reference standards, which imply the adoption of specific requirements and timelines in the area of incident and/or data breach reporting - as well as ongoing operator training and operational tools

Financial risks and risks related to the fair value performance of the securities portfolio

Financial risks are defined as financial risks arising from owning or trading financial instruments. The Company invests by diligently following a financial investment policy approved by the Board of Directors that is constantly monitored and updated. The Group is subject to the risk of changes in the fair value of the financial instruments held in its portfolio, the value of which as of December 31, 2024 was 83,154 thousand euros. The occurrence of this risk could have significant adverse effects on the Group's economic, financial, and equity position. Detailed tables of financial risks are set out in Note No. 28 to the consolidated financial statements and Note No. 30 to the statutory financial statements

Foreign exchange risk

The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk in the case of sales, purchases, receivables and loans denominated in a currency other than the Group's functional currency. Manufacturing activities are limited to Italy and Switzerland and therefore the Group is exposed to fluctuations between the euro and the Swiss franc. The functional currency is the euro, Philogen is subject to foreign exchange risk arising from the translation of the financial statements of the Swiss subsidiary Philochem AG, affecting consolidated net income and consolidated shareholders' equity (translation risk). For more details on financial risks, see Note 28 to the consolidated financial statements and Note 30 to the statutory financial statements.

Risks associated with existing leases

As part of the management of leased properties, the Company constantly monitors rental risk, i.e., the risk arising from the possibility that leased properties will undergo changes in rents or in the duration of leases as originally contractually agreed upon (renewal could be on less favorable terms than in previous years) or in the costs associated with the management of leased space or difficulty, in the event of non-renewal of leases, in finding additional space and/or real estate at which to conduct business.

13. Environmental and occupational safety information

The locations where the Company operates and its production activities are subject to stringent environmental and occupational safety regulations.

The Company adopts safety procedures for the management of work activities in accordance with Legislative Decree 81/2008 and Legislative Decree 206/2001 regarding the handling of genetically modified microorganisms (GMOs). Personnel undergo specific training on the subject and operate according to procedures designed to minimize the risks of contamination, not only biological. Disposal of special waste is carried out in accordance with current regulations (D. Lgs.152/06), according to dedicated procedures, with the support of a specialized and authorized company.

Based on the obligations of Article 37 of Legislative Decree 81/2008 and the procedures defined by the State-Regions Agreement of December 21, 2011, periodic safety training and refresher courses are activated for all employees divided into general and specific training courses, courses that employees follow according to a schedule specified by the applicable industry regulations.

In carrying out its activities, the Company employs chemical and biological agents for which specific risk assessments are carried out in accordance with Legislative Decree 81/2008. The staff also uses equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) in line with regulations.

The Company believes that it conducts its business in compliance with environmental regulations and permits required by applicable laws, and is constantly striving to operate in an environmentally responsible manner.

Group personnel are constantly updated and trained with reference to applicable industry regulations. In particular, training and refresher courses were conducted in 2024 aimed at increasing the number of First Aid employees, depending on the increase in the workforce. This course was enriched with an optional module inherent in specific training on the use of the defibrillator, a life-saving device increasingly recommended in Companies. Fire emergency management training courses have been carried out to implement ensure full coverage at both the Rosia and Montarioso sites, and it is planned for 2025 to further implement both fire and first aid officers. During the first half of 2024, the ASPP course (Module A and Module B) for a new company figure and training and refresher courses for Managers, Supervisors, RLS and forklift drivers were held. Also in the second half of 2024, a series of training courses began that will cover work at heights, confined spaces, work on electrical equipment (PES-PAV-PEI) and 3rd degree boilermaker.

Finally, it should be noted that no final sanctions or penalties have ever been disbursed against the company for environmental crimes or damages.

14. Responsibility to the environment and climate change

The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) signals the importance for the Company to consider key climate risks and impacts when preparing and financial statements.

In this regard, ESMA notes that investors are increasingly interested in information regarding the impacts that climaterelated issues may have on companies, especially in light of commitments at the international and European level such as the 2015 Paris Agreement and the European Climate Act (EEC/EU Regulation 1119 June 30, 2021).

With a view to combating climate change, the Company is committed to contributing positively to the protection of the environment through the development of strategies and initiatives aimed at encouraging the minimization of environmental impacts related to the conduct of business activities.

In particular, the Group's production facilities are subject to current environmental regulations, specifically:

  • the Montarioso (Siena) site, has an AUA (Autorizzazione Unica Ambientale) discharge permit issued by the Municipality of Monteriggioni (Siena), which is scheduled to expire in the year 2032;
  • the Rosia (Siena) site has an AUA (Autorizzazione Unica Ambientale) discharge permit issued by the Municipality of Sovicille (Siena), which is scheduled to expire in the year 2030.

These regulations, enforced within the two sites (Montarioso and Rosia) regulate, among other things, the release of air emissions and the storage and disposal of hazardous waste.

In light of commitments at the international and European level, such as the 2015 Paris Agreement and the European Climate Act as well as the regulator's numerous interventions in recent years, the Company recognizes the importance of combating climate change and is committed to contributing positively to environmental protection through the development of strategies and initiatives aimed at encouraging the minimization of environmental impacts related to the conduct of business activities.

Therefore, the Group is committed to protecting and safeguarding the environment through continuous improvement of energy efficiency levels of consumption and promoting the use of renewable sources. The first step toward reducing energy consumption from non-renewable sources is certainly to reduce electricity consumption.

Among the improvement actions, with a view to energy efficiency and emission monitoring, a photovoltaic system was installed at the Rosia (Siena) site. For this purpose, an agreement was signed with the Gestore dei Servizi Energetici (GSE) for the recognition of incentive tariffs for electricity produced by photovoltaic conversion of the solar source, which is incentivized under Article 7 of Legislative Decree 387/03, Ministerial Decree of May 5, 2011.

With reference to water resources, the production of injectable solutions makes it necessary to use machinery to treat water taken from aqueducts in order to make it suitable for medical application. During the fine-tuning phase of the Rosia

plant, the Group installed only state-of-the-art treatment equipment, which ensures very low energy consumption compared to older equipment.

For a company such as the Group's, which is involved in biopharmaceutical research and the production of experimental drugs, the care and proper management of the waste produced is also of paramount importance.

Philogen produces both ordinary municipal waste, which is disposed of through separate collection, and special waste, which is collected by specialized firms. For the former, the separate collection system at the Montarioso site, operated by a specialized company, ensures proper disposal of all municipal waste. At the Rosia plant, the system of separate disposal of ordinary waste has also been completed. Special waste generated by the laboratories is stored inside a special warehouse, collected in approved containers for sanitary waste, and is disposed of by a specialized company in the manner prescribed by law.

Philogen relies on a company certified under ISO 14001 for the activities of "Special Waste Collection and Transport, Brokering, Asbestos Disposal and Remediation, Environmental Consulting" and present among the organizations registered under EC Regulation No. 1221/2009. Liquid waste generated by the production process, on the other hand, is conveyed by a sewage collection system and then collected in a special collection tank. Subsequently, they too are disposed of by a specialized company according to current regulations.

In order to respond promptly to the new legislation (Art. 188-bis of Legislative Decree 152/2006, DM 59/2023) Philogen implemented Rentri (National Register for Waste Traceability), the new system by which Italy introduced the digitization of documents related to the movement and transport of waste.

Rentri's goal is to improve waste traceability, as also envisioned in the National Strategy for the Circular Economy and the National Waste Management Program

Within the sustainability journey, undertaken by the Group, environmental protection occupies a central role. For further details in this regard, please refer to the Sustainability Report 2024, which can be found and accessed on the Company's website at (http://www.philogen.com/) in the Governance (Sustainability - ESG) section.

The Group has always paid close attention to issues of gender equality and inclusion.

Currently, about 59% of employees are female and come from more than 12 different countries.

Top management is gender-balanced, a feature that has distinguished the Group since the pre-listing period: the CFO has been in office since 2007, the HR Manager since 2008, and the Company Legal Counsel since 2016. In addition, since 2022 a new Deputy Chief Medical Officer has joined the Group, since 2023 a Qualified Person for the Montarioso site, authorized by AIFA in August 2023. Finally, a Head of Quality Control and a new Head of Quality Assurance joined the Group in 2024.

Since 2016, Philogen has boasted female representation on the Board of Directors, with the appointment of Dr. Nathalie Dompé, and post IPO with the inclusion of Avv. Marta Bavasso and Dr. Maria Giovanna Calloni. Senior roles within the Research function have also been filled by women, both in the past and currently. Prof. Cornelia Halin is a member of the Scientific Advisory Board, and the antibody research area has been led by a female scientist for many years.

Finally, in compliance with Italian law, Philogen employs 7 people belonging to protected categories. The Group does not detect any specific risks related to diversity and inclusion, but sees in a proper and careful management of these aspects

an opportunity to create a work environment that fosters creativity and confrontation. As of the date of this Report, the Company does not consider it necessary to adopt specific diversity policies in relation to employee composition, gender composition, and educational and professional background. Protection of information and data

The Group operates in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry sector, which, being highly regulated, provides for and requires the application and compliance with numerous laws and regulations at the European, Swiss and Italian levels regarding the protection of personal data.

17. Significant events after the end of the fiscal year

The major events after the close of FY2024 are:

  • Purchase of own shares

The share buyback program initiated in December 2024 continues in the year 2025. As of March 26, 2025, the Company held a total of 315,639 treasury shares.

AIFA Inspection.

From February 18 to 21, 2025, the Company received the inspection by AIFA, of the "general review" type of the API GMP Authorization (Authorization for the Production of Active Substances for Commercial Use) originally issued on January 5, 2024 and subsequently supplemented on June 12, 2024 for the Rosia GMP site. The inspection was successfully concluded and the Company received on March 4 the final report from AIFA with minimal observations.

  • eCTD

With reference to the submission of the authorization dossier sent to EMA on May 31, 2024, aimed at granting marketing authorization for the product Nidlegy™ , the Company will have to respond to the comments received by EMA in September 2024, by March 21, 2025.

- Internal Revenue Service

On March 7, the Siena Internal Revenue Service initiated a tax audit for direct tax purposes for tax years 2019 to 2023.

18. Foreseeable development of management

The status of various industrial programs can be summarized as follows:

Nidlegy™ - a biopharmaceutical product designed for the treatment of skin cancers

Following the submission of the Marketing Authorization Application documentation to the European Medicines Agency (EMA). The dossier review process is expected to be completed by mid-2025

Patient enrollment in the U.S. Phase III trial in stage IIIB/C melanoma continues in line with company expectations. To date, 33 centers have been opened.

The Group has completed the Phase II study (Duncan) in basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), and the Intrinsic study is underway in a basket of patients with non-melanoma skin cancers where 38 of the 70 patients under the protocol have been treated.

Preparatory activities for new registrational experimental studies in the BCC and cSCC are underway.

Fibromun - a biopharmaceutical product, proprietary to Philogen, designed for the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma (STS) and Glioblastoma

In the European Phase III study in the first-line STS, in combination with doxorubicin, completed enrollment. The study was conducted in Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland and France. Patients are randomized 1:1. Fifty percent of patients are treated with doxorubicin (control arm) and the other 50 percent of patients are treated with doxorubcine in combination with Fibromun (experimental arm). The study, whose primary endpoint is Progression Free Survival (PFS), was designed to observe at least 80% improvement in the experimental arm versus the control arm. Based on historical data, the median PFS of doxorubicin alone is expected to be around 4.6 months. As of the date of this report, events (disease progression) are awaited for completion for the study, which is expected in the first half of 2025.

The American Phase IIb study in first-line leiomyosarcoma in combination with doxorubicin is ongoing at 7 clinical centers in the United States. Please note that leiomyosarcoma is the most common subtype of STS.

The randomized phase of the European Phase II trial in the third-line STS in combination with dacarbazine continues. The trial has completed enrollment of protocol-expected patients. As of the date of this report, events (disease progression) are expected for completion for the study, which is expected in the first half of 2025.

Regarding the Phase I/II Study in second-line Glioblastoma in combination with lomustine, Phase I is completed with 15 patients divided into 3 cohorts and Phase II is ongoing. As of the date of this Report, 146 of the 158 patients scheduled for Phase II of the study have been enrolled. The study is currently ongoing in Switzerland, Italy, France and Germany. Enrollment is expected to be completed in the first half of 2025.

The Phase I/II/IIb study in first-line Glioblastoma in combination with radiotherapy and temozolomide continues at the University Hospital of Zurich. Currently, Phase I has been completed and the Group is preparing the transition to Phase II.

OncoFAP-small organic molecule with high affinity for Fibroblast Activation Protein (FAP). FAP is highly expressed in more than 90% of epithelial tumors. The Company is to date developing several pharmaceutical derivatives based on the OncoFAP ligand

68Ga-OncoFAP (radio-diagnostic derivative) has completed Phase I clinical trial in patients with solid tumors. Blue Earth Diagnostic (Bracco) is planning the Phase II study.

A company-sponsored clinical trial of 177Lu-OncoFAP-23 (radio-therapeutic derivative) has begun. The study is approved by AIFA and the first patient is expected in the near future.

Experimental data obtained in several preclinical models with OncoFAP-GlyPro-MMAE (a nonradioactive derivative of OncoFAP conjugated to cytotoxic drugs) have shown an excellent ability to block the growth of several tumor types. To date, the drug is undergoing a clinical trial in dogs with spontaneous neoplasia at University of Milan. It is also planned to begin GMP production of OncoFAP-GlyPro-MMAE, preparatory to starting clinical trials in human patients

o OncoACP3 is small molecule with very high affinity for Prostate Acid Phosphatase protein. The product is suitable for diagnostic and therapeutic applications for prostate cancer.

Regarding the development of OncoACP3-radio-conjugate for diagnostic applications, several prostate cancer patients have already undergone imaging in Germany with 68Ga-OncoACP3. In addition, a Phase I study is planned in Italy for which an experimental protocol has been approved by AIFA.

The therapeutic derivative, OncoACP3, is undergoing preparatory activities for Phase I launch. Preclinical data show excellent tumor-targeting capabilities needed for therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals. The first patient was treated in Germany under compassionate use (under the law defined by AMG 13.2b). The drug confirmed the excellent results obtained at the preclinical level in that, once administered, it remains in the tumor for at least 7 days.

Products in partnerships

Partnerships continue on (i) Dekavil (Pfizer) and (ii) on organic small molecules (Janssen and Bracco), (iii) Nidlegy™ (Sun Pharma and MSD), and (iv) Fibromun (Sun Pharma)

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Preparation criteria

1. Foreword

Philogen S.p.A. (hereinafter, the "Company"), on March 3, 2021, was admitted to listing on the Mercato Telematico Azionario organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. More specifically, 4,061,111 shares corresponding to approximately 10% of the Company's share capital were issued as of the date of the start of trading at a price of 17 euros each.

Regulation (EC) No. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and Council of July 19, 2002 (the "EU Regulation") prescribed the obligation, starting with the 2005 fiscal year, for all companies with securities admitted to trading on a regulated market to prepare consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS/IFRS. In Italy, the matter was regulated by Legislative Decree No. 38 of Feb. 28, 2005, which provided companies excluded from the obligation under the EU Regulation the option to prepare their statutory and consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS/IFRS starting with the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2005.

2. Entity that prepares consolidated financial statements

Philogen S.p.A. is headquartered in Italy. The address of the Company's registered office is Piazza La Lizza, 7 Siena.

The Group is mainly active in the field of integrated biotechnology and in particular in the development of advanced biopharmaceutical products for the treatment of diseases characterized by or associated with angiogenesis, based mainly on antibody conjugates, capable of achieving selective accumulation at the sites where the pathology is present.

Pursuant to paragraph 5 of Article 2497-bis of the Civil Code, it is hereby announced that the Company is not subject to management and coordination by another company.

3. Drafting criteria

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and endorsed by the European Union, including all International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) subject to interpretation and interpretations by the International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (IFRIC) and the former Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC).

These consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for publication by the Board of Directors of the Company on March 27, 2025.

Details regarding the main accounting principles adopted by the Group are specified in Note No. 31

Functional and presentation coin

These consolidated financial statements are expressed in Euro, the functional currency of the Parent Company. Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts expressed in Euros have been rounded to the nearest thousand. It should also be noted that any differences found in some tables are due to the rounding of amounts expressed in thousands of Euros.

Use of estimates and evaluations

As part of the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, management had to make estimates and judgments that affect the application of accounting principles and the amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses, and revenues recognized in the financial statements. However, it should be noted that since these are estimates, the results obtained will not necessarily be the same as those represented in these financial statements.

These estimates and the underlying assumptions are reviewed regularly. Any changes resulting from the revision of accounting estimates are recognized prospectively.

The following summarizes those items in the financial statements that require more subjectivity on the part of the directors than others in developing estimates and for which a change in the conditions underlying the assumptions used could have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

i) Evaluations

Decisions made by management that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are provided in the notes below:

  • Note No. 5 and 32 - accounting for revenues from contracts with customers: analysis of contracts with customers, with particular reference to the recognition at a particular point in time or over time of revenues from licensing and research and development activities on behalf of third parties and the identification of individual performance obligations.

(ii) Assumptions of uncertainties in estimates

For the year ended December 31, 2023, information on assumptions and uncertainties in estimates having a significant risk of causing material changes to the carrying value of assets and liabilities in the financial statements of the next period is provided in the following notes:

  • Notes No. 5 and 32 revenue accounting: assumptions in determining the total cost of performance obbligation in relation to customer contracts accounted for over time;
  • Note No. 32 valuation of financial instruments: main assumptions underlying the calculation of fair value;
  • Note No. 32 definition of the discount rate: main assumptions on the calculation of the Incremental Borrowing Rate (IBR), where the implicit interest rate is not present.
  • Notes No. 8 and 32 recognition of deferred tax assets: availability of future taxable profits against which deductible temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards can be used.

4. Industry disclosure

For the purposes of IFRS 8, Management has identified a single operating segment, "Biotechnology," within which all the activities carried out by the Group are brought together.

The Group is mainly active in the field of integrated biotechnology and in particular in the development of advanced biopharmaceutical products for the treatment of diseases characterized by or associated with angiogenesis, based mainly on antibody conjugates capable of achieving selective accumulation at the sites where the pathology is present.

Details of revenues from contracts with customers by type of product and service, by geographic area, and information regarding the degree of the Company's dependence on its major customers are given in Note No. 5.

Plant and machinery shows an increase of 262 thousand euros and refers mainly to the set-up of laboratories and the alarm and UPS system of production sites instrumental to the operational activities related to the Rosia site.

Industrial and commercial equipment shows an increase of 606 thousand euros and mainly includes the purchase cost incurred to further equip the production unit in Rosia (Siena).

Other tangible assets mainly refer to company cars and furniture and fixtures. Company cars are partly granted for mixed use to employees, partly assigned to some members of the Board of Directors, and partly at the disposal of company personnel.

Leasehold improvements show an increase of Euro 2,334 thousand and mainly refer to the completion of the construction of the new office building at the Rosia (Siena) site, completed in July 2024, within the area currently leased by Rendo S.r.l. to Philogen S.p.A. under the lease agreement signed in May 2019, previously classified in the category Buildings in progress. From an accounting point of view, these leasehold improvements are depreciated over the entire lease term of the asset to which they refer. In this specific case, the useful life has been estimated considering a tacit renewal of the lease agreement related to the Rosia site currently in place, in accordance with IFRS 16, and therefore the depreciation process will be completed in FY 2034. Please refer to the section on accounting standards for specific aspects on IAS 16 and IFRS16.

Plants in progress refer to the construction of a parking lot for private-company use with photovoltaic panel roofing at the Rosia site.Buildings and land, on the other hand, refer to the new building adjacent to its Philogen plant located in Montarioso (Siena) purchased in August 2023 and intended for future expansion of the Company. The fixed asset, in line with IAS 16, has not been depreciated because it is not in the condition necessary for it to be able to function in the manner intended by management.

Assets for right of use for the year ended December 31, 2024 are mainly attributable to the lease of real estate used by the Group to manage its operations. The increases recognized during the 2024 fiscal year, amounting to 497 thousand euros, relate to Istat rent adjustments, contractually stipulated which were affected by the high rate of inflation during the period. It is specified that these contracts were entered into in 2019 following the functional and structural reorganization of the Group through which the real estate branch was separated from the operating branch. These contracts run until the year 2034 and altogether generate an annual cash outflow for lease payments of approximately Euro 1,184 thousand, of which Euro 771 thousand for the Italian sites and Euro 413 thousand for the Swiss site.

ii. for the lease on the property leased to the Swiss subsidiary Philochem AG, a discount rate of 3.10 percent.

As of December 31, 2024, the Group has not identified any indicators of impairment with respect to right-of-use assets.

Impairment test

We report that, as of December 31, 2024, there was no evidence that led the Directors to believe that the reasons that led to the recognition of the property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, and right-of-use assets had disallowed; nor did any additional indicators of impairment emerge that led the Directors to believe that there might be an impairment of the property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, and right-of-use assets; consequently, there was no need to conduct impairment tests on the value recorded in the financial statements.

13. Inventories

Details of inventories are as follows:

Figures in thousands of Euros 31 December 31

Raw materials and consumables 3.260 2.248
Total inventories 3.260 2.248

Stocks of raw materials and consumables accommodate inventories valued at the lower of purchase cost and market value

As of December 31, 2024, inventories, amounting to 3,260 thousand euros, showed an increase mainly due to increased procurement of consumables functional to the Group's operating activities.

14. Contract assets and liabilities

Assets arising from contracts relate to performance obligations fulfilled over time and valued on the basis of costs incurred (cost-to-cost) as they are the subject of contracts already finalized with the customer.

Assets arising from contracts are entered as assets net of related liabilities if, based on an analysis conducted on a contractby-contract basis, the gross value of the assets performed on the date is greater than the advances received from customers. Conversely, if the advances received from customers are found to be greater than the related assets from contracts, the excess is entered as liabilities.

The net balance of assets and liabilities arising from contracts is composed as follows:

Contracts with positive net balance

Figures in thousands of Euros 31 December 31
2024 2023
Advances received from customers (1.350) (2.728)
Revenue recognized on advances received 4.611 4.078
Contract activities with clients 3.261 1.350

Contracts with negative net balance

Figures in thousands of Euros December 31

December 31
2023
Advances received from customers 685 2.271
Revenue recognized on advances received (41) (1.805)
Liabilities from contract with customers 643 466

Advance payments received from customers mainly refer to up-front fees collected against performance obligations to be fulfilled by the Group in the future, which are recognized over time based on the progress of related contract costs (revenue recognized on advance payments).

Contract assets and liabilities arise from the balance of the two items above.

Customer contract liabilities are classified as current liabilities because the Group expects to complete performance obligations over the next 12 months.

15. Trade receivables

The item "Trade receivables" consists of the following:

Figures in thousands of Euros 31 December 31
2024 2023

Total trade receivables 760 1.281

As of December 31, 2024, trade receivables from customers amounted to 760 thousand euros, down by approximately 41% from December 31, 2023.

Overdue credit positions are monitored by administrative management through periodic analyses of the main positions. The estimate of the expected loss in accordance with IFRS 9 ("Expected Credit Loss") is not significant due to the type of the Group's customers, the expected contractual terms, and the timing of collection of receivablesThe value for IFRS 9 purposes is 26 thousand euros.

27. Share-based payment incentive plan

On May 31, 2021, the Company's Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting approved an incentive plan pursuant to Article 114-bis of the TUF called the "Stock Grant Plan 2024-2026" (hereinafter also the "Plan") for the Group's employees, and granted the Board of Directors all necessary and appropriate powers to implement it.

To service the said Plan, the Shareholders' Meeting also resolved to increase the share capital free of charge in divisible form, pursuant to Article 2349 of the Civil Code, to be carried out by the deadline of December 31, 2026, for a maximum amount of 123 euros.974, to be charged in full to share capital and to establish for the same amount, a special reserve, taking it from the retained earnings reserve, called "Restricted earnings reserve capital increase to service the 2024-2026 Stock Grant Plan," which will remain restricted to service the free share capital increase until the final subscription deadline.

Specifically:

  • on September 28, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors, upon the proposal of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, approved the regulations of the aforementioned Plan and implemented it, identifying the beneficiaries and defining the performance objectives and related targets, of the first allocation cycle 2021- 2024, awarding a total of 121,000 Units;
  • On Oct. 11, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors, subject to the positive opinion of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, identified the beneficiaries and defined the performance objectives and related targets, of the second granting cycle 2022-2025, awarding a total of 130,000 Units;
  • On Nov. 7, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors, subject to the positive opinion of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, identified the beneficiaries and defined the performance objectives and related targets, of the third grant cycle 2023-2026, awarding a total of 619,000 Units.

Summary of the regulation

The Plan is divided into three cycles (2021, 2022 and 2023) each having a three-year duration that provide:

  • The allocation to beneficiaries of a certain number of Units (free of charge);
  • The setting, at the assignment stage, of performance goals;
  • A three-year performance period;
  • The awarding of shares to beneficiaries, subject to the achievement of performance targets achieved in the threeyear period.

The purpose of the Plan is to grant a maximum of 877,286 Units that entitle beneficiaries to receive a maximum of 877,286 shares free of charge, corresponding to approximately 3 percent of the current share capital, with reference to ordinary shares only. The beneficiaries receive the shares following the allocation decided by the Board of Directors at the end of the performance period for each of the cycles of the Plan.

At the end of each Performance Period, the Board of Directors will evaluate the passing of the gate, if any, and the achievement of the performance goals, and determine the number of shares to be awarded to each beneficiary. Specifically, the Board of Directors, after ascertaining, the passing of the gate, if any, will evaluate the following:

a) Achievement of corporate objectives: for each Plan Cycle, the award of shares is subject to the condition that all or part of the corporate objectives related to the Company's performance and/or stock performance that will be identified by the Board of Directors for each beneficiary are achieved. The Board of Directors, in consultation with the Nominating and Compensation Committee, shall review the achievement of the corporate objectives at the end of the performance period of each Plan Cycle;

b) achievement of individual objectives: in addition to the Company's objectives, the Board of Directors, having consulted with the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, has drawn up individual objectives for the individual Beneficiaries of

the Plan on the basis of criteria mainly oriented: (i) to the development of the projects in which the individual Beneficiary is involved; (ii) to the achievement of the results of such projects in accordance with the methods and timeframes set by the Company and/or the Group; (iii) to obtaining authorizations from the relevant authorities in the biotechnology sector for the commercialization of the products developed by the Company and/or the Group; and (iv) to the conclusion of commercial agreements with leading companies in the research and development sector in which the Company operates. The Board of Directors, having consulted with the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, verifies the achievement of individual goals at the end of the performance period of each Plan Cycle.

(c) existence of the employment relationship between the Company or subsidiary and the beneficiary on the date the shares are granted.

Individual performance goals will be measured with reference to the specific three-year span of each Cycle, starting from the relevant date of assignment.

The Plan will end on the day coinciding with the grant date of the shares related to the third Cycle.

More information about the Plan is outlined in the information document available and accessible on the Company's website at (http://www.philogen.com/).

Evaluation criteria

The evaluation was carried out by considering separately the two performance targets, corporate and personal, assigned to each beneficiary. Specifically, the corporate performance component (so-called 'market based') related to the attainment of the gate and target of the Company's stock was estimated using stochastic simulation with the Monte Carlo Method, which, based on appropriate assumptions, allowed for the definition of a substantial number of alternative scenarios over the time frame considered.

With regard to individual performance goals, based on various achievement assumptions, a probability of success estimated by the Company itself has been defined.

For each option, the expected dividend rate, annual probability of exit (representing an average value for previous years) were taken into account.

Specifically, the following data were used in the valuation of fair values at the date of assignment:

28. Disclosure of financial risks

In the area of business risks, the main risks identified, monitored and, to the extent specified below, actively managed by the Group are as follows:

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that a customer or one of the counterparties to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss by failing to fulfill a contractual obligation and arises mainly from the Group's trade receivables and debt securities.The carrying value of financial assets and assets arising from contracts represents the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk.

The Group's exposure to credit risk depends mainly on the specific characteristics of each customer.

However, management also considers variables typical of the Group's customer portfolio, including the insolvency risk of the industry and country in which the customers operate. Assets under contract have as their counterparts primary pharmaceutical and multinational companies characterized by a low risk profile.

Liquidity risk

This is the risk that the Group will have difficulty meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities settled in cash or through another financial asset. The Group's approach to liquidity management is to ensure that there are always, as far as possible, sufficient funds to meet its obligations as they fall due, whether under normal or strained financial conditions, without incurring excessive charges or risking damage to its reputation.

The Group ensures that there are cash on demand and other securities in excess of the expected cash outflows for financial liabilities (other than trade payables). In addition, the Group regularly monitors the level of expected cash inflows from trade and other receivables, as well as outflows related to trade and other payables.

The following is the maturity analysis for trade receivables and payables and financial liabilities as of December 31, 2024:

In addition, the Group in addition to cash and cash equivalents, amounting to 30,574 thousand euros, holds a portfolio of financial investments totaling 83,154 thousand euros as of December 31, 2024, which is readily liquid and can be used to meet any liquidity needs. More information on the securities portfolio can be found in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices, due to changes in exchange rates, interest rates, or equity prices. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control the Group's exposure to this risk within acceptable levels while optimizing investment returns.

Foreign exchange risk

The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk when sales, purchases, receivables and loans are denominated in a currency other than the Group's functional currency.

Manufacturing activities are limited to Italy and Switzerland, so the Group is exposed to fluctuations between the euro and the Swiss franc. Sometimes contracts with customers may be in dollars. The reporting currency is the euro, Philogen is subject to foreign exchange risk arising from the translation of the financial statements of the Swiss subsidiary Philochem AG, affecting consolidated net income and consolidated shareholders' equity (translation risk).

In the year ended December 31, 2024, revenues from contracts with customers were mainly realized in Euro (the Group's functional currency) and accounted for approximately 98% of total revenues.

The following is a breakdown of revenues with customers by currency for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:

Financial investment risk management

Following careful financial planning, the Parent Company invested the portion of cash in excess of ordinary cash needs in current financial assets. The choice of investments was made on the basis of monitoring and consultations with the study office of the securities depository bank. Constant information regarding the solvency of issuers, country risk, as well as market variables are made available to the company in order to put in place prompt corrective actions.

Based on the logic described in Note No. 17 "Other Current Financial Assets," to which reference is made for more details, the Group adopted an HTCS business model. Failure to pass the SPPI Test, resulted in its evaluation at FVTPL, while passing the SPPI Test resulted in its evaluation at FVTOCI.

Country risk management

The Group does not operate with countries that are economically, politically or socially unstable. By virtue of the ESAM recommendations, published on March 14, 2022, the Company despite not dealing with counterparties residing in Russia and/or Ukraine, continues to monitor the impact on financial markets of the War in Ukraine and the sanctions adopted against Russia.

29. Disclosure of financial instruments

Categories of financial assets and liabilities

The following tables provide a breakdown of financial assets and liabilities by category, in accordance with IFRS 9, as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Figures in thousands of Euros December 31 December 31
2024 2023

Trade payables 9.550 7.799
Other current liabilities 3.239 2.317
Total financial liabilities 24.334 25.031

Given the nature of short-term financial assets and liabilities, for most of these items the carrying value is considered a reasonable approximation to fair value.

Non-current financial liabilities and assets are settled or valued at market rates, so their fair value is believed to be substantially in line with current book values.

Fair value disclosure

In relation to assets and liabilities recognized in the statement of financial position and measured at fair value, IFRS 13 requires that these values be classified based on a hierarchy of levels, reflecting the significance of the inputs used in determining fair value.

The following tables summarize the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value, broken down on the basis of the levels provided in the hierarchy:

Figures in thousands of Euros December 31, 2023
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Current financial assets measured at fair value recognized
In the profit (loss) for the year
41.771 17.938 - 59.709
Total assets measured at fair value 41.771 17.938 - 59.709

In the profit (loss) for the period
67.246 15.908 - 83.154
Total assets measured at fair value 67.246 15.908 - 83.154

Financial assets related to level 1 of the fair value hierarchy refer to portfolio securities related to bonds, equities and units of investment funds listed on regulated markets. More details on the securities portfolio can be found in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements.

Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy includes current financial assets measured at fair value recognized in profit (loss) for the period in accordance with IFRS 9, consisting of insurance investment products held by the Group for the purpose of investing excess cash (see Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements for more details on the nature of these assets).

These investments represent financial assets managed by insurance companies and are valued, as of the balance sheet date, on the basis of the NAV (Net Asset Value) reported by insurance companies, representative of the settlement value of policies as of the balance sheet date.

There were no transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy during the periods under consideration.

Relations with Rendo S.r.l. and Rendo AG

Regarding dealings with Rendo S.r.l. and Rendo AG, the above balances mainly refer to lease payments for the following properties:

  • property used as the registered and operational headquarters of Philochem, located at Libernstrasse 3 8112 Otelfingen (fee recognized to Rendo AG);
  • production plant in Montarioso (Siena) and plant in Rosia (Siena), used as the administrative and operational headquarters of Philogen S.p.A. With regard to this case, following the Company's strong growth and expansion, it became necessary to re-evaluate and revise the company's areas and spaces in order to build an office building within the area currently leased by Rendo S.r.l. to Philogen S.p.A. under the lease agreement signed in May 2019.

In this regard, the necessary permits for the construction of the building were obtained in February 2023 from the Municipality of Sovicille and construction work on the new building was started. The activities for the construction

of the building, which was completed in July 2024 and whose cost was fully borne by Philogen, was recorded in the amount of Euro 2,334 thousand under leasehold improvements, representing an addition pursuant to Article 1593 of the Civil Code. These leasehold improvements are amortized over the entire duration of the lease of the Rosia site currently in place, the duration of which is unchanged, considering a tacit renewal in accordance with the provisions of International Accounting Standard IFRS 16.

Accounting principles

31. Evaluation criteria

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention, except for financial instruments, which are measured at fair value at each reporting date.

These consolidated financial statements have also been prepared on the going concern assumption. The Directors' assessment of this assumption takes into consideration the Group's current development strategies, the Group's capital and financial strength, and the possibility of reviewing the timing and structure of its development strategy as well as its ability to raise the financial resources necessary to continue its operations, including by licensing some of its proprietary products to third parties through outlicensing agreements.

32. Main accounting principles

Drafting criteria

The consolidated financial statements consist of the mandatory financial statements required by IAS 1. All schedules comply with the minimum content required by international accounting standards and applicable provisions set forth by the national legislature and Consob. The statements used are considered adequate for the purpose of giving a fair (fair) representation of the Group's financial position, financial performance and cash flows; in particular, the income statements reclassified by nature are considered to provide reliable and relevant information for the purpose of giving a fair representation of the Group's economic performance. The schedules that make up the Financial Statements are as follows:

Consolidated statement of financial position

The statement is presented by showing current and noncurrent assets and current and noncurrent liabilities separately with a description in the notes for each asset and liability item of the amounts expected to be settled or recovered within or beyond 12 months after the balance sheet date.

An asset/liability is classified as current when it meets one of the following criteria:

  • expected to be realized/extinguished or expected to be sold or used in the Group's normal operating cycle;
  • Is owned primarily to be traded;
  • is expected to be realized/extinguished within 12 months after the balance sheet date.

In the absence of all three conditions, assets/liabilities are classified as non-current.

Consolidated statement of income

The classification of costs is by nature, highlighting intermediate results related to operating income and income before tax.

Consolidated statement of comprehensive income

The statement includes components that constitute the result for the period and income and expenses recognized directly in equity for transactions other than those entered into with shareholders.

Statement of changes in consolidated shareholders' equity

The statement shows the changes in equity items related to:

  • Allocation of profit for the period of the parent company and subsidiaries to minority shareholders;
  • Amounts related to transactions with shareholders (purchase and sale of own shares);
  • each item of profit and loss net of any tax effects, which, as required by IFRS are alternatively charged directly to equity (gains or losses from the purchase or sale of treasury stock, actuarial gains and losses generated from the valuation of defined benefit plans), or have a balancing entry in an equity reserve (share-based payments for incentive plans);
  • Changes in valuation reserves of derivative instruments hedging future cash flows, net of any tax effect.

Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows

The Statement of Cash Flows is presented using the indirect method, whereby net income is adjusted for the effects of non-cash transactions, any deferrals or accruals of prior or future operating cash receipts or payments, and items of income or expense associated with cash flows from investing or financing activities.

Income and expenses related to interest, dividends received, and income taxes are included in flows based on the type of underlying transaction that generated them.

Cash and cash equivalents included in the cash flow statement include the balance sheet balances of this item as of the reporting date. Cash flows in foreign currencies have been translated at the average exchange rate for the period.

Cash equivalents are those held to meet short-term cash commitments, rather than for investment or other purposes. For an investment to qualify as cash equivalent it must be readily convertible into a known amount of cash and be subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Cash equivalents include short-term restricted bank deposits.

Consolidation criteria

The consolidated financial statements of the Philogen Group include the period financial statements of Philogen S.p.A. and those of its subsidiary Philochem AG, a company under Swiss law in which the Parent Company has control pursuant to Article 26 of Legislative Decree 127/91. Summaries of the Group companies and consolidation methods are provided below:

Company name Registered office % of control Currency Consolidation method
Philogen S.p.A. Siena - Italy Group leader EUR Integral
Philochem AG Zurich - Switzerland 99,998% CHF Integral

Subsidiaries are those entities in which the Group has control, i.e., when the Group is exposed to variable returns from its relationship with the entity, or has rights to those returns, while having the ability to influence them by exercising its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the time when the parent company begins to exercise control until the date when such control ceases.

These financial statements are appropriately reclassified and adjusted in order to bring them in line with the parent company's accounting principles and valuation criteria where there are significant differences. All Group companies close their financial year on December 31.

The book value of investments in companies included in the consolidation is eliminated against the corresponding fractions of the equity of the investees by attributing to the individual assets and liabilities their current value on the date of acquisition. Any remaining difference, if positive, is recorded under non-current assets and residually under goodwill; if negative, it is charged to the income statement.

Changes in the Group's interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as transactions between partners in their capacity as partners.

When preparing consolidated financial statements, balances of intercompany transactions as well as unrealized intercompany revenues and expenses are eliminated. Unsupported losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, to the extent that there are no indicators that would give evidence of impairment.

Foreign currency

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of each Group entity at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction.

Monetary items in a foreign currency at the end of the period are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate on the same date. Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates in effect on the date the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate on the same date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising from the translation are generally recognized in net income/(loss) for the period within finance costs.

Foreign management

Assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from the acquisition, are translated into euros using the exchange rate recognized at the period end date. Revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Euro using the exchange rate in effect on the date of the transactions. Exchange rate differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and included in the translation reserve, except for exchange rate differences that are attributed to minority interests. When the Group disposes of an investment in a foreign operation, in whole or in part, such that it loses control, significant influence or joint control over it, the amount accumulated in the translation reserve relating to that foreign operation is reclassified to net income/(loss) for the period as an adjustment to the gain or loss on disposal.

The exchange rates used as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 for the conversions of income statement and balance sheet items in foreign currencies are summarized in the following table and refer to the subsidiary Philochem:

Financial report as of December 31, 2024
Exchange rates (CHF/EUR) 2024 2023
Spot exchange rate as of December 31 (for conversion of assets and liabilities) 0,9412 0,92600
Average change for the year (by converting costs and revenues) 0,9526 0,97173

Revenues from contracts with customers

Revenues are measured taking into account the consideration specified in the contract with the customer. The Group recognizes revenue when it transfers control of goods or services.

IFRS 15 "Revenue from contracts with customers" defines the criteria for recognizing and measuring revenue from contracts with customers. In general, IFRS 15 requires the recognition of revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity believes it is entitled in exchange for the transfer of goods or services to the customer. Specifically, IFRS 15 requires revenue recognition to be based on the following 5 steps:

  • (i) Customer contract identification;
  • (ii) identification of performance obligations (i.e., contractual promises to transfer goods and/or services to a customer;
  • (iii) determination of the transaction price;
  • (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations identified on the basis of the stand-alone selling price of each good or service;
  • (v) Revenue recognition when the relevant performance obligation is met.

The Group's revenues are mainly derived from licensing agreements and contracts to perform research and development services commissioned by customers.

Regarding contracts involving the granting of licensing rights to the Group's intellectual property, firstly it is analyzed whether the granting of licensing right is distinguishable from other performance obligations. The Group recognizes distinct performance obligations when:

  • the client can benefit from the good/service either alone or in combination with other resources that are readily available;

  • the promise to transfer a good or service is identifiable separately from other promises in the contract.

If it is found that the granting of the license right is not distinguishable from the promise to transfer other goods or services, the Group accounts for the promise to grant a license and the other promised goods or services as a single obligation to do.

If, on the other hand, it is found that the granting of the license right is distinct from the promise to transfer other goods or services, the Group analyzes whether the customer obtains an access right or a right to use the intellectual property. The client has a right of access to the company's intellectual property if all of the following conditions are met:

  • The contract requires, or the client expects, the Group to put in place activities that have significant impacts on intellectual property;

  • Such activities at the time they are performed do not transfer distinct goods/services to the customer;

  • Rights under the license expose the client to positive/negative effects for the Group's activities with reference to intellectual property.

If the granting of the license right confers a right of access to the intellectual property, revenues are recognized over the term of that right ("over time"). Conversely, if the license is in the form of a right to use the intellectual property, the related revenues are recognized at the time when that right is granted ("at a point in time").

The following is a summary outline of the main fees and related payment terms covered by the Group's license agreements:

Type of consideration Accounting Recognition
Up-front They represent consideration received in advance at the conclusion of the contract. If
referring to the granting of license fees, they are recognized:
— at point in time, in case they take the form of intellectual property use rights;
— over time, in case they take the form of intellectual property access rights.
If specific goods/services transferred to the customer are not identified when the up
front fee is collected, this collection represents an advance and is recognized as
revenue in the future when performance obligations are met ("over time").
The Group issues an invoice for the up-front fee at the same time as entering into the
contract. This invoice is usually due in 30 days. The payment terms do not include
commercial discounts.
Commercial
Options
(so
If the license right is separable from other obligations to do, they are recognized as
called "Commercial Option intellectual property use rights and the related revenue is recognized at a point in time
Fees") when such license right is granted.
If the license right is not separable from the other obligations to do, such collection
represents an advance and is recognized as revenue in the future when the
performance obligations are met ("over time").
The Group issues an invoice for the commercial option fee at the same time that the
customer notifies the Group of the desire to exercise said option. Such an invoice is
usually due in 30 days. The payment terms do not include commercial discounts.
Milestone They represent variable payments contingent on the achievement of certain significant
goals in product development (e.g., the start of Phase III clinical trials).
Upon entering into the contract, management assesses whether achievement of the
milestones is highly probable and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction
price using the most probable value method ("most likely amount"). If it is likely that
there will be no subsequent significant revenue reversal, the milestone value is included
in the transaction price.
Payments related to events that are not under the Group's control and that typically
depend on obligations to do on the part of the counterparty (such as product approval
by regulatory authorities or achievement of customer-led research milestones), are not
considered highly probable until there is certainty that the milestone will be achieved
(e.g., a communication from the customer or regulatory authorities).
At the end of each fiscal year, management reassesses the probability of achieving all
milestones and, if necessary, adjusts its estimate of the overall transaction price.
The Group issues an invoice for the milestone at the same time as the customer notifies
it of the achievement of the goal/event. This invoice is usually due in 30 days. The
payment terms do not include trade discounts.
Royalties (based on sales) The Group recognizes sales-based royalty revenue only when (or as) the latest of the
following events occurs:
— The subsequent sale or use; and
— The fulfillment (or partial fulfillment) of the obligation to do to which all or part of the
sales-based royalty was assigned.

With regard to other performance obligations contained in contracts (typically consisting of the performance of research and development services or the sale of GMP products), the Group recognizes the transaction price allocated to these activities as the performance obligation is fulfilled ("over time") if one of the following criteria is met:

  • the customer simultaneously receives and uses the benefits from the service performed by the Group as the Group performs it;
  • performance performed by the Group creates or improves the activity that the customer controls as the activity is created or improved;
  • the service does not create an asset with an alternative use for the Group, and the Group has the enforceable right to payment for the completed service up to the relevant date.

If not even one of the above criteria is met, the performance obligation is considered fulfilled at the time the good or service is transferred and the related revenue is recognized at a piont in time.

Public grants

Unrestricted government grants are recognized in profit/(loss) for the period as other income when the government grant becomes receivable. Other asset-related government grants are initially recognized at fair value as deferred revenue if there is reasonable certainty that they will be received and that the Group will comply with the expected conditions for their receipt, and are then recognized in profit/(loss) for the period as other income on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset to which they relate.

Government grants are shown in the balance sheet under current and non-current assets in relation to their possibility of utilization.

Grants that offset costs incurred by the Group are recognized in profit/(loss) for the period on a systematic basis to offset them in the same period against the costs that the grant is intended to offset.

Cost recognition

Costs are recognized when they relate to goods and services purchased or consumed during the period or by systematic allocation on an accrual basis.

Financial income and expenses

Financial income and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis based on the interest earned on the net value of the related financial assets and liabilities using the effective interest rate.

Borrowing costs are accounted for on an accrual basis and recognized in the income statement in the period accrual.

Financial income is accounted for based on the actual rate of return on an accrual basis.

Taxes

Tax expense for the period includes current and deferred taxes recognized in net income/(loss) for the period, except for those related to business combinations or items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income.

The Group has determined that interest and penalties related to income taxes, including accounting treatments to be applied to income taxes of an uncertain nature, are accounted for in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets because they do not meet the definition of income taxes.

i) Current taxes

Current taxes include the estimated amount of income taxes payable or receivable, calculated on taxable income or tax loss for the year as well as any adjustments to taxes from prior years. The amount of taxes payable or receivable, determined on the basis of tax rates in effect or substantially in effect at the end of the reporting period, also includes the best estimate of any portion payable or receivable that is subject to uncertainty factors. Current taxes also include any taxes related to dividends.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only when certain criteria are met.

ii) Deferred taxes

Deferred taxes are recognized with reference to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements and the corresponding amounts recognized for tax purposes. Deferred taxes are not recognized for:

  • temporary differences related to the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction other than a business combination that affects neither accounting profit (or loss) nor taxable income (or tax loss);
  • temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of temporary differences and it is probable that, in the foreseeable future, the temporary difference will not reverse; and

  • Taxable temporary differences related to the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which such assets can be used. Future taxable income is defined on the basis of the reversal of the related deductible temporary differences. If the amount of taxable temporary differences is not sufficient to fully recognize a deferred tax asset, future taxable income, adjusted for the cancellations of outstanding temporary differences, provided for in the business plans of individual Group companies is considered. The value of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. Such reductions must be restored when the probability of future taxable income increases.

Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that the Group will earn sufficient taxable profit in the future to utilize them.

Deferred taxes are measured using the tax rates that are expected to be applicable to temporary differences in the year in which they reverse based on tax rates established by measures in effect or substantially in effect at the end of the reporting period and reflect any uncertainties related to income taxes.

The measurement of deferred taxes reflects the tax effects arising from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of assets and liabilities

Operating income

Operating income is determined by the Group's continuing revenue-generating operating activities and other income and expenses related to operating activities. Net financial expenses and income taxes are excluded from operating income.

Earnings/loss per share

Basic earnings per share were calculated by considering the profit attributable to holders of ordinary shares and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

The calculation of diluted earnings per share was made considering the profit attributable to holders of ordinary shares and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period taking into account the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The calculation of the dilutive effect of potential ordinary shares was made on the basis of the treasury share method prescribed by IAS 33 .

Property, plant and equipment

i) Survey and evaluation

An item of property, plant and equipment is valued at cost, including capitalized borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

If an item of property, plant and equipment is composed of several components having different useful lives, these components are accounted for separately (significant components).

The gain or loss generated from the disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit/(loss) for the year under "Other income" and "Other operating expenses," respectively.

ii) Subsequent costs

Subsequent costs are capitalized only when it is probable that the related future economic benefits will flow to the Group.

iii) Depreciation

Depreciation of an item of property, plant and equipment is calculated to reduce the cost of that item by a straight-line basis, net of its estimated residual value, over the item's useful life. Depreciation is generally recognized in profit/(loss) for the period under "Depreciation and amortization." Land is not depreciated. Fixed assets are subject to depreciation when the asset is in the condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

The estimated useful lives of the current period and comparative years are as follows:

Category Rate
Buildings 3%
Plant and machinery 20%
Automatic machinery 20%
Industrial and commercial equipment 15%
Cars 25%
Furniture and furnishings 12%
Leasehold improvements 8 - 10%

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are checked at the end of the period and adjusted where necessary.

Intangible assets

i) Survey and evaluation

Research and development: research expenses are recognized in profit/(loss) in the period in which they are incurred. Development expenses are capitalized only if the cost attributable to the asset during its development can be measured reliably, the product or process is feasible in technical and commercial terms, future economic benefits are probable, and the Group intends and has sufficient resources to complete its development and use or sell the asset. Other development expenses are recognized in profit/(loss) for period as they are incurred. Capitalized development expenses are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

If all capitalization requirements are not met, costs incurred by the Group for research and development activities are charged to the income statement in the period in which they are incurred.

Other intangible assets: other intangible assets, patents and licenses that have a finite useful life, are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

ii) Subsequent costs

Costs subsequent to initial recognition are capitalized only when they increase the expected future economic benefits attributable to the asset to which they relate. All other subsequent costs, including those related to goodwill and internally generated trademarks, are charged to income/(loss) in the period in which they are incurred.

iii) Depreciation

Amortization is recognized in profit/(loss) for the year on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of intangible assets, from when the asset is available for use.

The estimated useful lives of the current period and comparative years are as follows:

Category Average rate
Patent rights and rights to use intellectual works 5%
Concessions, licenses, trademarks and similar rights 10%

Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at each period end and modified as necessary.

Activities by right of use

At the inception of the contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The contract is, or contains, a lease if, in exchange for consideration, it transfers the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group uses the definition of a lease in IFRS 16.

At the inception of a contract or upon modification of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the contract consideration to each lease component on the basis of its stand-alone price.

On the effective date of the lease, the Group recognizes the right-of-use asset and the lease liability. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, including the amount of the initial valuation of the lease liability, adjusted for lease payments due on or before the effective date, increased by the initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of the costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset or restoring the underlying asset or the site where it is located, net of lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is depreciated successively on a straight-line basis from the effective date to the end of the lease term, unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Group at the end of the lease term or, considering the cost of the right-of-use asset, the Group is expected to exercise the purchase option. In such a case, the right-of-use asset will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset, determined on the same basis as that of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is regularly decreased by any impairment losses and adjusted to reflect any changes resulting from subsequent valuations of the lease liability.

The Group values the lease liability at the present value of unpaid lease payments due on the effective date, discounting them using the lease's implicit interest rate. Where this rate cannot be easily determined, the Group uses the marginal financing rate. Generally, the Group uses the marginal financing rate as the discount rate.

The Group's marginal financing rate is calculated based on the interest rates obtained from various external financing sources by making certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and the type of leased asset.

Lease payments due included in the measurement of the lease liability include:

  • fixed payments (including substantially fixed payments);
  • Variable lease payments due that depend on an index or rate, initially evaluated using an index or rate on the effective date;
  • The amounts expected to be paid as collateral on the residual value; and
  • the exercise price of a purchase option that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise, payments due for the lease in an optional renewal period if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise the renewal option, and penalties for early termination of the lease, unless the Group is reasonably certain not to terminate the lease early.

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method and is remeasured when there is a change in the future lease payments due resulting from a change in the index or rate, when there is a change in the amount the Group expects to have to pay as security on the residual value, or when the Group changes its valuation by reference to whether or not it exercises an option to purchase, extend, or terminate, or when there is a revision in the payments due for the lease that is fixed in substance.

When the lease liability is remeasured, the lessee makes a corresponding change in the right-of-use asset. If the book value of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero, the lessee recognizes the change in profit/(loss) for the period.

The Group has applied IFRS 16 using the modified retroactive application method as of January 1, 2017.

Short-term leasing and leasing of low-value assets

The Group has decided not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to low-value assets and short-term leases, including computer equipment. The Group recognizes the related lease payments due as an expense on a straightline basis over the lease term.

Lease back

If an entity transfers a particular asset to another entity and obtains it on leaseback, it must be determined, based on the provisions of IFRS 15, whether the transfer should be accounted for as a sale. If so, the lessee-seller must measure the asset consisting of the right of use arising from the leaseback at the percentage of the previous carrying amount of the asset that transfers to the right of use retained by the lessee-seller. Accordingly, the lessee-seller should recognize only the amount of gain or loss that relates to the rights transferred to the lessor-buyer. If the fair value of the consideration for the sale of the asset does not equal the fair value of the asset, or if the lease payments due are not at market prices, the entity should make the following adjustments to measure the sale proceeds at fair value: (i) terms below market prices should be accounted for as an upfront payment of lease payments due, and (ii) terms above market prices should be accounted for as additional financing provided by the lessor-buyer to the lessee-seller.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of purchase or production cost and net realizable value. Purchase cost is defined as the actual purchase price plus ancillary charges. The purchase cost of materials includes, in addition to the price of the material, the costs of transportation, customs, other taxes and other costs directly attributable to that material. Returns, trade discounts, rebates and premiums are deducted from cost. Production cost means all direct costs and indirect costs for the portion reasonably attributable to the product relating to the period of manufacture and up to the time from which the good can be used, considered on the basis of normal production capacity. Realization value that can be inferred from market trends is equal to the estimated selling price of goods and finished products in the normal course of business, net of assumed completion costs and direct selling costs. For the purpose of determining the realizable value inferable from market trends, the rate of obsolescence and the turnaround time of inventories are taken into account, among other things. The cost of inventories is determined using the weighted average cost method. In the case of inventories of goods produced by the Group, the cost includes a share of overhead expenses determined on the basis of normal production capacity.

Financial instruments

i) Survey and evaluation

Trade receivables are recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized on the trade date, which is when the Group becomes a contractual party to the financial instrument.

Except for trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component, financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus or minus, in the case of financial assets or liabilities not measured at FVTPL, the transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of the financial asset. Upon initial recognition, trade receivables that do not have a significant financing component are valued at their transaction price.

ii) Classification and subsequent evaluation

Financial assets:

Upon initial recognition, a financial asset is classified according to its valuation: amortized cost; fair value recognized in other comprehensive income (FVOCI) - debt security; FVOCI - equity security; or fair value recognized in profit/(loss) for the period (FVTPL).

Financial assets are not reclassified after their initial recognition unless the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets. In such a case, all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first fiscal year following the change in business model.

A financial asset should be measured at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met and it is not designated at FVTPL:

  • the financial asset is owned as part of a business model whose objective is the ownership of financial assets aimed at collecting the related contractual cash flows; and
  • the contractual terms of the financial asset provide for cash flows at certain dates represented solely by payments of principal and interest on the amount of principal to be repaid.

A financial asset should be assessed at FVOCI if both of the following conditions are met and it is not designated at FVTPL:

  • the financial asset is owned as part of a business model whose objective is achieved through both the collection of contractual cash flows and the sale of financial assets; and
  • the contractual terms of the financial asset provide for cash flows at certain dates represented solely by payments of principal and interest on the amount of principal to be repaid.

Upon initial recognition of an equity security not held for trading purposes, the Group may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income. This choice is made for each asset.

All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or FVOCI, as indicated above, are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial instruments. Upon initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate the financial

asset as measured at fair value through profit (loss) for the period if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting asymmetry that would otherwise result from measuring the financial asset at amortized cost or FVOCI.

Financial activities: business model assessment

With specific reference to the Business Model, IFRS9 identifies three different business models, which in turn reflect how financial activities are managed:

  • i. "Held To Collect": a business model under which financial assets are held with the objective of realizing contractual cash flows by holding the financial instrument to maturity;
  • ii. "Held to Collect and Sell": a business model that includes financial assets held with the goal of both realizing contractual cash flows over the life of the asset and collecting proceeds from the sale of the asset;
  • iii. "Other": business model includes financial instruments that cannot be classified into the previous categories, mainly represented by financial assets held for the purpose of realizing cash flows through sale (assets held for trading).

The business model thus represents how the Group manages its financial assets, that is, how it intends to realize cash flows from them.

The Group assesses the objective of the business model under which the financial asset is held at the portfolio level as best reflecting how the asset is managed and the information reported to management. Such information includes:

  • the stated criteria and objectives of the portfolio and the practical application of those criteria, including, among others, whether management's strategy is based on obtaining interest income from the contract, maintaining a determined interest rate profile, aligning the maturity of financial assets with that of related liabilities, or expected cash flows or raising cash flows through the sale of assets;
  • how portfolio performance is evaluated and how performance is reported to the Group's key management personnel;
  • the risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within the business model) and how those risks are managed;
  • The way in which the firm's executives are compensated (for example, whether compensation is based on the fair value of assets under management or on contractual cash flows collected); and
  • the frequency, value and timing of sales of financial assets in previous years, the reasons for sales, and expectations regarding future sales.

Transfers of financial assets to third parties as part of transactions that do not result in derecognition are not considered sales for business model evaluation purposes, consistent with the Group's retention of such assets on the balance sheet.

Financial assets that meet the definition of financial assets held for trading or whose performance is measured on the basis of fair value are measured at FVTPL.

Financial assets: assessment of whether contractual cash flows are represented solely by payments of principal and interest.

For valuation purposes, 'principal' is the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition, while 'interest' is the consideration for the time value of money, for the credit risk associated with the amount of principal to be repaid during a given period of time, and for other basic risks and costs associated with the loan (e.g., liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well as for the profit margin.

In assessing whether the contractual cash flows consist solely of principal and interest payments, the Group considers the contractual terms of the instrument. Therefore, it assesses, among others, whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that changes the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that the following condition is not met. For evaluation purposes, the Group considers:

  • contingent events that would change the timing or amount of cash flows;
  • clauses that could adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable-rate elements;
  • elements of prepayment and extension; and
  • clauses that limit the Group's demands for cash flows from specific activities (e.g., non-recourse items).

The prepayment element is consistent with the criterion of "cash flows represented solely by payments of principal and interest" when the prepayment amount substantially represents the unpaid amounts of principal and accrued interest on the principal amount to be repaid, which may include reasonable compensation for early termination of the contract. In addition, in the case of a financial asset acquired at a significant premium or discount to the nominal contractual amount, an item that allows or requires a prepayment equal to an amount that substantially represents the nominal contractual amount plus accrued (but unpaid) contractual interest (which may include reasonable compensation for early termination of the contract) is accounted for in accordance with this criterion if the fair value of the prepayment item is not significant upon initial recognition.

Financial assets: subsequent valuation and gains and losses

Financial
assets
valued at FVTPL
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including dividends
or interest received, are recognized in net income/(loss) for the year.
Financial
assets
measured
at
amortized cost
These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost in accordance with the effective
interest method. The amortized cost is decreased by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign
exchange gains and losses, and impairment losses are recognized in net income/(loss) for the
period as are any gains or losses from derecognition.
Debt
securities
valued at FVOCI
These assets, after passing the SPPI Test, are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest
income calculated in accordance with the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and
losses, and impairment losses are recognized in net income/(loss) for the year. Other net gains
and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. Upon derecognition, accumulated
gains or losses in other comprehensive income are reclassified to net income/(loss) for the period.
Equity
securities
valued at FVOCI
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized in net
income/(loss) for the period unless they clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the
investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and are
never reclassified to net income/(loss) for the period.

Financial liabilities: classification, subsequent valuation, and gains and losses

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or at FVTPL. A financial liability is classified at FVTPL when it is held for trading, represents a derivative, or is designated as such upon initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and any changes, including interest expense, are recognized in profit/(loss) for the period. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains/(losses) are recognized in net income/(loss) for the period, as are any gains or losses from derecognition.

iii) Accounting elimination

Financial assets

Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from them expire, when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows under a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred, or when the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset and does not retain control of the financial asset.

The Group is involved in transactions involving the transfer of assets recognized in its statement of financial position, but retains all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred asset. In such cases, the transferred assets are not derecognized.

Financial liabilities

The Group derecognizes a financial liability when the obligation specified in the contract has been fulfilled or cancelled or has expired. The Group also derecognizes a financial liability when the relevant contractual terms are changed and the cash flows of the changed liability are substantially different. In such a case, a new financial liability is recognized at fair value based on the changed contractual terms.

The difference between the book value of the financial liability extinguished and the consideration paid (including assets not represented by cash transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit/(loss) for the period.

iv) Compensation

Financial assets and liabilities may be offset and the amount resulting from the offset is presented in the statement of financial position if, and only if, the Group currently has the legal right to offset such amounts and intends to settle the balance on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Impairment losses

i) Financial instruments and assets arising from contracts

The Group recognizes allowances for expected credit losses related to:

  • Financial assets measured at amortized cost;
  • debt securities valued at FVOCI; and
  • Activities arising from contract.

In addition, the Group recognizes among trade and other receivables allowances for expected losses over the life of the receivables implicit in lease contracts.

The Group assesses impairment provisions at an amount equal to the expected losses over the life of the loan, except as noted below, for the following twelve months:

  • Debt securities with low credit risk at the balance sheet date; and
  • other debt securities and bank accounts whose credit risk (i.e., the risk of default arising over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not significantly increased after initial recognition.

Allowances for impairment of trade receivables (including those related to leases) and contract assets are always valued at an amount equal to the expected losses over the life of the receivable.

To determine whether credit risk relating to a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition in order to estimate expected credit losses, the Group considers reasonable and demonstrable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Group's historical experience, credit assessment as well as information indicative of expected developments ('forwardlooking information').

Long-lived expected credit losses are the expected credit losses arising from all possible defaults over the expected life of a financial instrument.

Expected credit losses at 12 months are expected credit losses arising from possible defaults within 12 months of the reporting date (or within a shorter period if the expected life of a financial instrument is less than 12 months).

The maximum period to be considered in assessing expected credit losses is the maximum contractual period during which the Group is exposed to credit risk.

Evaluation of expected credit losses

Expected credit losses (ECLs) are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Accounts receivable losses are the present value of all foregone collections (i.e., the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows the Group expects to receive).

ECLs are discounted using the effective interest criterion of the financial asset.

Non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the Group tests whether there is objective evidence of impairment with respect to the carrying values of its nonfinancial assets, excluding, investment properties, inventories, assets arising from contracts, and deferred tax assets. If on the basis of this review, it appears that the assets are indeed impaired, the Group estimates their recoverable amount.

Share capital

In accordance with IAS 32, ordinary shares and other shares issued by the parent company are classified as equity instruments.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of ordinary shares are recognized as a decrease in equity. Income taxes related to the transaction costs of an equity transaction are recognized in accordance with IAS 12.

Funds

The amount of the provisions is the present value of estimated expected cash flows, discounted at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the specific risks associated with the liability.

Employee benefits

As of January 1, 2007, the 2007 Budget Law and its implementing decrees introduced significant changes in the rules governing severance pay, including the worker's choice as to whether to allocate his or her accruing severance pay to supplementary pension funds or to the "Treasury Fund" managed by INPS. It follows, therefore, that the obligation to INPS and the contributions to supplementary pension funds assume, under IAS 19, the nature of "Defined Contribution Plans," while the portions booked to the TFR retain the nature of "Defined Benefit Plans."

The Group's net obligation arising from defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have accrued in exchange for service in the current and prior periods; this benefit is discounted and the fair value of any plan assets are deducted from liabilities.

The calculation is performed by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. Where the calculation generates a benefit to the Group, the amount of the asset recognized is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future plan contributions. In order to determine the present value of economic benefits, the minimum funding requirements applicable to any Group plan are considered.

Actuarial gains and losses, returns from plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (excluding any interest) arising on remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income. Net interest period on the net defined benefit liability/(asset) is calculated by applying to the net defined benefit liability/(asset), the discount rate used to discount the defined benefit obligation, determined at the beginning of the period, considering any changes in the net defined benefit liability/(asset) that occurred during the period as a result of contributions received and benefits paid. Net interest and other costs related to defined benefit plans, on the other hand, are recognized in net income/(loss) for the period.

When changes are made to the benefits of a plan or when a plan is reduced, the portion of the economic benefit relating to past service or the gain or loss resulting from the reduction of the plan is recognized in profit/(loss) for period when the adjustment or reduction occurs.

Share-based payments

The grant date fair value of incentives recognized in equity-settled share-based payment granted to employees is usually recognized as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period during which employees earn the right to the incentives. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of incentives for which the conditions of continued employment and non-market performance have vested, so that the final amount recognized as an expense is based on the number of incentives that meet these conditions as of the vesting date. In the case of incentives

recognized in share-based payment whose conditions are not to be considered vesting, the fair value at the grant date of the share-based payment is measured to reflect those conditions. With respect to non-vesting conditions, any differences between the assumptions made on the grant date and the actual assumptions will have no impact on the financial statements.

The fair value of the amount payable to employees in respect of cash-settled share appreciation rights is recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in the liability over the period during which employees accrue the unconditional right to receive payment. The liability is measured at each period end date and at the settlement date based on the fair value of the stock appreciation rights. Any changes in the fair value of the liability are recognized in profit/(loss) for the period.

Fair value assessments

Various accounting standards and certain disclosure requirements require the Group to measure the fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. In assessing the fair value of an asset or liability, the Group uses observable market data to the extent possible. Fair values are separated into various hierarchical levels based on the input data used in the valuation techniques, as illustrated below

  • Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  • Level 2: Input data other than the quoted prices in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).
  • Level 3: Input data related to the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

Fair value is the price that would be received at the measurement date for the sale of an asset or that would be paid for the transfer of a liability in a regular transaction between market participants in the principal (or most advantageous) market to which the Group has access at that time. The fair value of a liability reflects the effect of a default risk.

Where available, the Group assesses the fair value of an instrument using the quoted price of that instrument in an active market. A market is active when transactions in the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide useful pricing information on an ongoing basis.

In the absence of a quoted price in an active market, the Group uses valuation techniques by maximizing the use of observable input data and minimizing the use of unobservable input data. The chosen valuation technique includes all factors that market participants would consider in estimating the transaction price.

If an asset or liability measured at fair value has a bid price and a ask price, the Group values assets and long positions at the bid price and liabilities and short positions at the ask price.

The best evidence of the fair value of a financial instrument at initial recognition is usually the transaction price (i.e., the fair value of the consideration given or received). If the Group notices a difference between the fair value at initial recognition and the transaction price, and the fair value is not determined either by using a quoted price in an active market for identical assets or liabilities, or by means of a valuation technique whose unobservable inputs are considered insignificant, the financial instrument is initially measured at fair value, adjusted to defer the difference between the fair value at initial recognition and the transaction price. Thereafter, this difference is recognized in profit/(loss) for the period the life of the instrument by an appropriate method, but no later than when the valuation is fully supported by observable market data or the transaction is completed.

Operating area

IFRS 8 - Operating Segments - defines an operating segment as a component:

  • Involving revenue- and cost-generating business activities;
  • whose operational results are reviewed periodically at the highest decision-making level;
  • For which separate economic and financial data are available.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is identified in the Executive Chairman.

The CODM receives information, primarily from the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), regarding the progress of research programs, licensing contracts, and products in order to monitor business progress and take related decision-making actions.

In this regard, the Company's management has identified a single business segment. The substantially homogeneous type of business, together with the status of projects under development, does not allow the division into multiple segments subject to different risks and benefits from other business segments. In addition, the services provided, the nature of production processes, and the type of customers by product do not allow the company's business to be split into several business segments. Therefore, the company believes that at present an economic and financial representation by business and geographic segments would not provide a better representation and understanding of the business or its risks and rewards.

Changes in international accounting standards, interpretations and amendments

Below are the new accounting standards, interpretations and improvements issued by the IASB and adopted as of January 1, 2024:

Amendments to IFRS 16 - Liabilities for Leases in a Sale and leaseback (mandatory application from January I, 2024)

The amendments introduce a new accounting model and require the landlord-seller to revalue transactions entered into since 2019. They are effective Jan. 1, 2024, and must be applied retrospectively. Early application is permitted.

This change had no impact on the Group.

Amendments to IAS 1 - Non-current liabilities with covenants and classification of current and non-current liabilities.

Under amendments to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements," the classification of some liabilities as current or noncurrent may change (e.g., convertible debt). In addition, companies may have to provide new disclosures for liabilities subject to covenants.

The changes apply as of January 1, 2024 and are to be applied retrospectively.

This change had no impact on the Group.

Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 - Financing Arrangements with Suppliers.

Amendments issued in May 2023 to clarify the characteristics of financial arrangements with suppliers and require more disclosures in the financial statements. Disclosure details will enable understanding of the effects of arrangements on liabilities, cash flows, and exposure to liquidity risk. Effective January 1, 2024, with early application permitted.

This change had no impact on the Group

Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations not yet endorsed by the European Union as of December 31, 2024

The following accounting standards, amendments and interpretations have been issued by the IASB but not yet transposed by the EU:

  • IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (mandatory application as of January 1, 2027);
  • Amendments to IAS 21 Impossibility of Foreign Exchange (effective January 1, 2025);
  • Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7- Amendments to the classification and measurement of financial investments (effective January 1, 2026);
  • Amendments to IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without public accountability: disclosures (effective January 1, 2027).

The Group has not early adopted any principles, interpretations or improvements issued but not yet in force.

The Group is still evaluating the possible impact related to the adoption of the new standards listed above, but from a preliminary assessment, no significant impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements is expected.

Notes to the financial statements as of December 31, 202 4

Preparation criteria

1. Foreword

Philogen S.p.A. (hereinafter, the "Company"), on March 3, 2021, was admitted to listing on the Mercato Telematico Azionario organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. More specifically, 4,061,111 shares corresponding to approximately 10% of the Company's share capital were issued as of the date of the start of trading at a price of 17 euros each.

Regulation (EC) No. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and Council of July 19, 2002 (the "EU Regulation") prescribed the obligation, as of fiscal year 2005, for all companies with securities admitted to trading on a regulated market to prepare their financial statements in accordance with IAS/IFRS. In Italy, the matter was regulated by Legislative Decree No. 38 of Feb. 28, 2005, which provided companies excluded from the obligation under the EU Regulation the option to prepare their financial statements in accordance with IAS/IFRS starting with the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2005.

2. Entity that prepares annual financial statements

Philogen S.p.A. is headquartered in Italy. The address of the company's registered office is Piazza La Lizza, 7 Siena. The company is mainly active in the field of integrated biotechnology and in particular in the development of advanced biopharmaceutical products for the treatment of diseases characterized by or associated with angiogenesis, mainly based on antibody conjugates, capable of achieving selective accumulation at the sites where the pathology is present. Philogen holds a controlling interest in Philochem AG of 99.998%, of the share capital of the subsidiary, based in Zurich, Switzerland, which is engaged in pharmaceutical research and discovery of therapeutic antibodies and self-assembling chemical libraries, encoded through DNA fragments.

Pursuant to paragraph 5 of Article 2497-bis of the Civil Code, it is hereby announced that the Company is not subject to management and coordination by another company.

3. Drafting criteria

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and endorsed by the European Union, including all International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) subject to interpretation and the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (IFRIC) and the former Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC).

These financial statements were approved and authorized for publication by the Board of Directors of the Company on March 27, 2025.

Details regarding the accounting principles adopted are specified in Note No. 34.

Functional and presentation coin

These financial statements are expressed in Euros, the Company's functional currency. Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts expressed in Euros have been rounded to the nearest thousand. It should also be noted that any differences found in some tables are due to the rounding of amounts expressed in thousands of Euros.

Use of estimates and evaluations

As part of the preparation of the annual financial statements, management had to make estimates and judgments that affect the application of accounting principles and the amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses, and revenues recognized in the financial statements. However, it should be noted that since these are estimates, the results obtained will not necessarily be the same as those represented in these financial statements.

These estimates and the underlying assumptions are reviewed regularly. Any changes resulting from the revision of accounting estimates are recognized prospectively.

The following summarizes the items in the financial statements that require more subjectivity on the part of the directors in developing estimates than others and for which a change in the conditions underlying the assumptions used could have a significant impact on the financial statements.

Assessments

Decisions made by management that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are provided in the notes below:

  • Note No. 5 and 35 - accounting for revenues from contracts with customers: analysis of contracts with customers, with particular reference to the recognition at a particular point in time or over time of revenues from licensing and research and development activities on behalf of third parties and the identification of individual performance obligations.

Assumptions of uncertainties in estimates

For the year ended December 31, 2024, information on assumptions and uncertainties in estimates having a significant risk of causing material changes to the carrying value of assets and liabilities in the financial statements of the next period is provided in the following notes:

  • Notes No. 5 and 35 revenue accounting: assumptions in determining the total cost of performance obbligation in relation to customer contracts accounted for over time;
  • Note No. 35 valuation of financial instruments: main assumptions underlying the calculation of fair value;
  • Note No. 35 definition of the discount rate: main assumptions on the calculation of the Incremental Borrowing Rate (IBR), where the implicit interest rate is not present.
  • Notes No. 9 and 35 recognition of deferred tax assets: availability of future taxable profits against which deductible temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards can be used.
  • Notes No. 13 and 14 impairment test of non-current assets and equity investments: main assumptions for determining recoverable values;

4. Industry disclosure

For the purposes of IFRS 8, Management has identified a single operating segment, "Biotechnology," within which all the activities carried out by the Company and its subsidiary are brought together.

The Company is mainly active in the field of integrated biotechnology and in particular is active in the development of advanced biopharmaceutical products for the treatment of diseases characterized by or associated with angiogenesis, based mainly on antibody conjugates capable of achieving selective accumulation at the sites where the pathology is present.

Details of revenues from contracts with customers by type of product and service, by geographic area, and information regarding the degree of the Company's dependence on its major customers are given in Note No. 5.

Revenues from contracts with customers

In the year ended December 31, 2024, revenues from contracts with customers amounted to 74,749 thousand euros, an increase of 51,011 thousand euros from the previous period. The change is attributable to new third-party contracts entered into in 2024 and the advancement of previous contracts.

Recall that partnerships on Nidlegy™ continue with Sun Pharma in Europe, Australia and New Zealand (marketing, licensing and supply agreement) and with Merck Sharp & Dohme (clinical collaboration in the United States). Partnerships on Dekavil (Pfizer) and small molecule organics (Bracco) also continue.

Plant and machinery shows an increase of 233 thousand euros and refers mainly to the equipping of laboratories and production sites instrumental to operations.

Industrial and commercial equipment shows an increase of 552 thousand euros and mainly includes the purchase cost incurred to equip the production unit in Rosia (Siena).

Leasehold improvements show an increase of Euro 2,334 thousand and mainly refer to the completion of the construction of the new office building at the Rosia (Siena) site, completed in July 2024, within the area currently leased by Rendo S.r.l. to Philogen S.p.A. under the lease agreement signed in May 2019, previously classified in the category Buildings in progress. From an accounting point of view, these leasehold improvements are depreciated over the entire lease term of the asset to which they refer. In this specific case, the useful life has been estimated considering a tacit renewal of the lease agreement relating to the Rosia site currently in place, in accordance with the provisions of International Financial Reporting Standard IFRS 16, and therefore the depreciation process will be completed in fiscal year 2034. Please refer to the section on accounting standards for specific aspects on IAS 16 and IFRS16.

Impairment test

We report that, as of December 31, 2023, there was no evidence that led the Directors to believe that the reasons that led to the recognition of the property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, and right-of-use assets had been disallowed; there were also no additional indicators of impairment that led the Directors to believe that there might be an impairment of the property, plant and equipmentintangible assets, and right-of-use assets; consequently, it was not necessary to conduct impairment tests on the value recorded in the financial statements.

As of December 31, 2024, inventories, amounting to 3,149 thousand euros, showed an increase compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 mainly due to the increased procurement of consumables functional to the Company's operations.

16. Contract assets and liabilities

Assets arising from contracts relate to performance obligations fulfilled over time and valued on the basis of costs incurred (cost-to-cost) as they are the subject of contracts already finalized with the customer.

Assets arising from contracts are entered as assets net of related liabilities if, based on an analysis conducted on a contractby-contract basis, the gross value of the assets performed on the date is greater than the advances received from customers. Conversely, if the advances received from customers are found to be greater than the related assets from contracts, the excess is entered as liabilities.

The net balance of assets and liabilities arising from contracts is composed as follows:

Contracts with positive net balance

Figures in thousands of Euros December 31 December 31
2024 2023
Advances received from customers (1.350) (2.679)
Activities arising from contract 4.611 4.029

Contracts with negative net balance

2023
Advances received from customers 475 2.271
Revenue recognized on advances received (98) (1.805)
Liabilities from contract with customers 377 466

Advance payments received from customers mainly refer to up-front fees collected against performance obligations to be fulfilled by the Company in the future, which are recognized over time based on the progress of the related contract costs (revenue recognized on advance payments).

Contract assets and liabilities arise from the balance of the two items above.

Customer contract liabilities are classified as current liabilities because the Company expects to complete performance obligations over the next 12 months.

29. Share-based payment incentive plan

Share-Based Payment Incentive Plan On May 31, 2021, the Company's Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting approved an incentive plan pursuant to Article 114-bis of the TUF called the "Stock Grant Plan 2024-2026" ("Plan") reserved for Group employees, and granted the Board of Directors all necessary and appropriate powers to implement it.

To service the said Plan, the Shareholders' Meeting also resolved to increase the share capital free of charge in divisible form, pursuant to Article 2349 of the Italian Civil Code, to be carried out by the deadline of December 31, 2026, for a maximum amount of 123.974 thousand, to be charged in full to share capital, and to set up for the same amount, a special reserve, taking it from the retained earnings reserve, called "Restricted earnings reserve capital increase to service the 2024-2026 Stock Grant Plan," which will remain restricted to service the free share capital increase until the final subscription deadline.

Specifically:

  • on September 28, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors, upon the proposal of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, approved the regulations of the aforementioned Plan and implemented it, identifying the beneficiaries and defining the performance objectives and related targets, of the first granting cycle 2021- 2024, awarding a total of 121,000 Units;
  • On Oct. 11, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors, subject to the positive opinion of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, identified the beneficiaries and defined the performance objectives and related targets, of the second granting cycle 2022-2025, awarding a total of 130,000 Units;
  • On Nov. 7, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors, subject to the positive opinion of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, identified the beneficiaries and defined the performance objectives and related targets, of the third grant cycle 2023-2026, awarding a total of 619,000 Units.

Summary of the regulation

The Plan is divided into three cycles (2021, 2022 and 2023) each having a three-year duration that provide:

  • The allocation to beneficiaries of a certain number of Units (free of charge);
  • The setting, at the assignment stage, of performance goals;
  • A three-year performance period;
  • The awarding of shares to beneficiaries, subject to the achievement of performance targets achieved in the threeyear period.

The purpose of the Plan is to grant a maximum of 877,286 Units that entitle beneficiaries to receive a maximum of 877,286 shares free of charge, corresponding to approximately 3 percent of the current share capital, with reference to ordinary

shares only. The beneficiaries receive the shares following the allocation decided by the Board of Directors at the end of the performance period for each of the cycles of the Plan.

At the end of each Performance Period, the Board of Directors will evaluate the passing of the gate, if any, and the achievement of the performance goals, and determine the number of shares to be awarded to each beneficiary. Specifically, the Board of Directors, after ascertaining, the passing of the gate, if any, will evaluate the following:

a) Achievement of corporate objectives: for each Plan Cycle, the award of shares is subject to the condition that all or part of the corporate objectives related to the Company's performance and/or stock performance that will be identified by the Board of Directors for each beneficiary are achieved. The Board of Directors, in consultation with the Nominating and Compensation Committee, shall review the achievement of the corporate objectives at the end of the performance period of each Plan Cycle;

b) achievement of individual objectives: in addition to the Company's objectives, the Board of Directors, having consulted with the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, has drawn up individual objectives for the individual Beneficiaries of the Plan on the basis of criteria mainly oriented: (i) to the development of the projects in which the individual Beneficiary is involved; (ii) to the achievement of the results of such projects in accordance with the methods and timeframes set by the Company and/or the Group; (iii) to obtaining authorizations from the relevant authorities in the biotechnology sector for the commercialization of the products developed by the Company and/or the Group; and (iv) to the conclusion of commercial agreements with leading companies in the research and development sector in which the Company operates. The Board of Directors, having consulted with the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, verifies the achievement of individual goals at the end of the performance period of each Plan Cycle.

(c) existence of the employment relationship between the Company or subsidiary and the beneficiary on the date the shares are granted.

Individual performance goals will be measured with reference to the specific three-year span of each Cycle, starting from the relevant award date.The Plan will end on the day coinciding with the award date of the actions related to the third Cycle.

Two additional incentive plans were approved during the year 2024. One for the benefit of the Company's employees called the 2027-2029 stock grant plan and a one-cycle director stock plan for 2024-2026.

The 2027-2029 Stock Grant Plan is aimed at Employees and Consultants who, in the sole and discretionary judgment of the Board of Directors (BoD), having consulted with the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, play a key role thereby actively contributing to the development of the Company. The Plan, like its predecessor, is divided into three cycles (2024, 2025 and 2026) each having a three-year duration that provide. The characteristics are the same as the previous Stock Grant Plan, only the access gate has been eliminated.

Finally, the 2024-2026 director plan is for the Company's Executive Directors.

The purpose of the Plan is to grant a maximum of 600,000 Units which entitle the Grantees to receive a maximum of 600,000 Shares free of charge. The Grantees receive the Shares on the Delivery Date at Performance, have achieved the assigned Corporate Performance Goal, and the directorship relationship persists.

In the event that the Board of Directors (BoD) identifies a new Beneficiary, the BoD itself may - at its own discretion determine the number of Units due to the said new Beneficiary on the basis of a pro-rata temporis criterion, having, in particular, regard to the period during which the new Beneficiary participates in the Plan and taking into account, therefore, that such Beneficiary has not participated in the Plan since the date of its inception.

More information about the Plans is outlined in the information document available and accessible on the Company's website at (http://www.philogen.com/).

Evaluation criteria

Consistent with the valuation of the first and second Cycles of the Plan, the valuation of the third Cycle (2023-2026) was carried out reflecting the financial market conditions valid on the grant date (December 01, 2023).

The evaluation was carried out by considering separately the two performance targets, corporate and personal, assigned to each beneficiary. Specifically, the corporate performance component (so-called 'market based') related to the attainment of the gate and target of the Company's stock was estimated using stochastic simulation with the Monte Carlo Method, which, based on appropriate assumptions, allowed for the definition of a substantial number of alternative scenarios over the time frame considered.

With regard to individual performance goals, based on various achievement assumptions, a probability of success estimated by the Company itself has been defined.

For each option, the expected dividend rate, annual probability of exit (representing an average value for previous years) was taken into account.

Specifically, the following data were used in the valuation of fair values at the date of assignment:

The purpose of the Employee Plan is to grant a maximum of 600,000 Units entitling Beneficiaries to receive a maximum of 600,000 Shares free of charge. The Grantees receive the Shares on the Grant Date provided that, during the Performance Period, they have achieved their assigned Performance Goals and their employment or consulting relationship continues, and for each Grantee, the Grant Letter indicates (i) the number of Units granted, (ii) the Company's Performance Goal, and (iii) the date from which the Performance Period will commence.

30. Disclosure of financial risks

Within the scope of business risks, the main risks identified, monitored and, to the extent specified below, actively managed by the Company are as follows:

- Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that a customer or one of the counterparties to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss by failing to fulfill a contractual obligation and arises primarily from the Company's trade receivables and debt securities.

The book value of financial assets and contract assets represents the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk.

The Company's exposure to credit risk depends mainly on the specific characteristics of each customer.

However, management also considers variables typical of the Company's customer portfolio, including the insolvency risk of the industry and country in which the customers operate. Assets under contract have as their counterparts primary pharmaceutical and multinational companies characterized by a low risk profile.

- Liquidity risk

This is the risk that the Company will have difficulty meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities settled in cash or through another financial asset. The Company's approach to liquidity management is to ensure that there are always, as far as possible, sufficient funds to meet its obligations as they fall due, whether under normal or strained financial conditions, without incurring excessive charges or risking damage to its reputation.

The Company ensures that there are cash on demand and other securities in excess of the expected cash outflows for financial liabilities (other than trade payables). In addition, the Company regularly monitors the level of expected cash inflows from trade and other receivables, as well as outflows related to trade and other payables.

The following is the maturity analysis for trade receivables and payables and financial liabilities as of December 31, 2024:

In addition, the Company holds, in addition to cash and cash equivalents, a portfolio of financial investments totaling 83,154 thousand euros as of December 31, 2024, which is readily liquid and can be used to meet any liquidity needs. Please refer to Note No. 19 of the annual financial statements.

- Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices, due to changes in exchange rates, interest rates, or equity prices. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control the Company's exposure to this risk within acceptable levels while optimizing investment returns.

- Foreign exchange risk

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk when sales, purchases, receivables, and loans are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency.

Manufacturing activities are limited to Italy and Switzerland and therefore the Company is exposed to fluctuations between the euro and the Swiss franc. The reporting currency is the euro, Philogen is subject to foreign exchange risk arising from the translation of the financial statements of the Swiss subsidiary Philochem AG, affecting net income and equity (translation risk).

- Financial investment risk management

Following careful financial planning invested the portion of cash in excess of ordinary cash needs in current financial assets. Investments were chosen on the basis of monitoring and consultations with the study office of the securities' custodian bank. Constant information regarding the solvency of issuers, country risk, as well as market variables are made available to the company in order to put in place prompt corrective actions.

Based on the logic described in Note No. 17 "Other Current Financial Assets," to which reference is made for more details, the Company adopted an HTCS business model. Failure to pass the SPPI Test, resulted in its evaluation at FVTPL, while passing the SPPI Test, resulted in its evaluation at FVTOCI.

Country risk management

The Company does not operate with countries that are unstable economically, politically or socially. By virtue of the ESMA recommendations, published on March 14, 2022, the Company despite not having relations with Russia and Ukraine, continues to monitor the impact on financial markets of the War in Ukraine and the sanctions adopted against Russia.

31. Disclosure of financial instruments

Categories of financial assets and liabilities

The following tables provide a breakdown of financial assets and liabilities by category, in accordance with IFRS 9, as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Figures in thousands of Euros December 31 December 31
2024 2023

Trade payables 10. 8.890
Other current liabilities 2. 2.001
Total financial liabilities 20.079 25.618

Given the nature of short-term financial assets and liabilities, for most of these items the carrying value is considered a reasonable approximation to fair value.

Non-current financial liabilities and assets are settled or valued at market rates, so their fair value is believed to be substantially in line with current book values.

Fair value disclosure

In relation to assets and liabilities recognized in the statement of financial position and measured at fair value, IFRS 13 requires that these values be classified based on a hierarchy of levels, reflecting the significance of the inputs used in determining fair value.

The following tables summarize the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value, broken down on the basis of the levels provided in the hierarchy:

Figures in thousands of Euros December 31, 2023
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total

In the profit (loss) for the year
67.246 15.908 - 83.154
Total assets measured at fair value 67.246 15.908 - 83.154

Financial assets related to level 1 of the fair value hierarchy refer to portfolio securities related to bonds, equities and units of investment funds listed on regulated markets. Please refer to Note No. 19 for more details.

Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy includes current financial assets measured at fair value through profit (loss) for the year in accordance with IFRS 9, consisting of insurance investment products held by the Company for the purpose of investing excess cash (see Note 19 for more details on the nature of these assets).

These investments represent financial assets managed by insurance companies and are valued, as of the balance sheet date, on the basis of the NAV (Net Asset Value) reported by insurance companies, representative of the settlement value of policies as of the balance sheet date.

There were no transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy during the periods under consideration.

Relations with Rendo S.r.l.

Regarding dealings with Rendo S.r.l. and Rendo AG, the above balances mainly refer to lease payments for the following properties:

  • production plant in Montarioso (Siena) and plant in Rosia (Siena), used as the administrative and operational headquarters of Philogen S.p.A. With regard to this case, following the Company's strong growth and expansion, it became necessary to reevaluate and revise the company's areas and spaces in order to build an office building within the area currently leased by Rendo S.r.l. to Philogen S.p.A. under the lease agreement signed in May 2019.

In this regard, the necessary permits for the construction of the building were obtained in February 2023 from the Municipality of Sovicille and construction work on the new building was started. The activities for the construction of the building, which was completed in July 2024 and whose cost was fully borne by Philogen, was recorded in the amount of Euro 2,334 thousand under leasehold improvements, representing an addition pursuant to Article 1593 of the Civil Code. These leasehold improvements are amortized over the entire term of the lease agreement for the Rosia site currently in place, the duration of which is unchanged, considering a tacit renewal in accordance with the provisions of International Accounting Standard IFRS 16.

Accounting principles

34. Evaluation criteria

These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention, except for financial instruments, which are measured at fair value at each reporting date.

These financial statements have also been prepared on the going concern assumption. The Directors' assessment of this assumption takes into consideration the Company's current development strategies, the Company's capital and financial strength, and the possibility of reviewing the timing and structure of its development strategy as well as its ability to raise the financial resources necessary to continue its operations, including by licensing some of its proprietary products to third parties through outlicensing agreements.

35. Main accounting principles

Drafting criteria

The financial statements consist of the mandatory financial statements required by IAS 1. All schedules comply with the minimum content required by international accounting standards and applicable provisions set forth by the national legislature and Consob. The schedules used are considered adequate for the purpose of fair representation (fair) of the Company's financial position, financial position and cash flows; in particular, the income statements reclassified by nature are considered to provide reliable and relevant information for the purpose of fair representation of the Company's economic performance. The schedules that make up the Financial Statements are as follows:

Statement of financial position

The presentation of the statement is done through separate disclosure of current and non-current assets and current and non-current liabilities with a description in the notes for each asset and liability item of the amounts expected to be settled or recovered within or beyond 12 months after the balance sheet date.

An asset/liability is classified as current when it meets one of the following criteria:

  • ii) expected to be realized/extinguished or expected to be sold or used in the Company's normal operating cycle;
  • iii) Is owned primarily to be traded;
  • iv) is expected to be realized/extinguished within 12 months after the balance sheet date.

In the absence of all three conditions, assets/liabilities are classified as non-current.

Statement of income statement

The classification of costs is by nature, highlighting the results related to operating income and income before taxes.

Statement of comprehensive income

The statement includes components that constitute the result for the year and income and expenses recognized directly in equity for transactions other than those entered into with shareholders.

Statement of Changes in Equity

The statement shows the changes in equity items related to:

  • Allocation of the profit for the year of the Company and subsidiaries to third-party shareholders;
  • Amounts related to transactions with shareholders (purchase and sale of own shares);
    • vi) each item of profit and loss net of any tax effects, which, as required by IFRS are alternatively charged directly to equity (gains or losses from the purchase or sale of treasury stock, actuarial gains and losses generated from the valuation of defined benefit plans), or have a balancing entry in an equity reserve (share-based payments for incentive plans);
    • vii) Changes in valuation reserves of derivative instruments hedging future cash flows, net of any tax effect.

Cash flow statement

The Statement of Cash Flows is presented according to the indirect method, whereby net income is adjusted for the effects of non-cash transactions, any deferrals or accruals of prior or future operating cash receipts or payments, and items of income or expense associated with cash flows from investing or financing activities.

Income and expenses related to interest, dividends received, and income taxes are included in flows based on the type of underlying transaction that generated them.

Cash and cash equivalents included in the cash flow statement include the balance sheet balances of this item as of the reporting date. Cash flows in foreign currencies have been translated at the average exchange rate for the period.

Cash equivalents are those held to meet short-term cash commitments, rather than for investment or other purposes. For an investment to qualify as cash equivalent it must be readily convertible into a known amount of cash and be subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Cash equivalents include short-term restricted bank deposits.

Foreign currency

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the Company's functional currency at the exchange rate in effect on the date of the transaction.

Monetary items that are denominated in a foreign currency on the reporting date are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate on that date. Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates in effect on the date the fair value was determined. Nonmonetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate on the same date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising from the translation are generally recognized in net income/(loss) for the year under finance costs.

Foreign management

Assets and liabilities of the foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from the acquisition, are translated into euros using the exchange rate recognized as of the reporting date. Revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Euro using the exchange rate in effect on the date of the transactions. Exchange rate differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and included in the translation reserve, except for exchange rate differences that are attributed to minority interests. When the Company disposes of an investment in a foreign operation, in whole or in part, such that it loses control, significant influence or joint control over it, the amount accumulated in the translation reserve relating to that foreign operation is reclassified to net income/(loss) for the year as an adjustment to the gain or loss on disposal.

Revenues from contracts with customers

Revenues are measured taking into account the consideration specified in the contract with the customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers control of goods or services.

IFRS 15 "Revenue from contracts with customers" defines the criteria for recognizing and measuring revenue from contracts with customers. In general, IFRS 15 requires the recognition of revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity believes it is entitled in exchange for the transfer of goods or services to the customer. Specifically, IFRS 15 requires revenue recognition to be based on the following 5 steps:

  • (i) Customer contract identification;
  • (ii) identification of performance obligations (i.e., contractual promises to transfer goods and/or services to a customer;
  • (iii) determination of the transaction price;
  • (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the identified performance obligations based on the stand-alone selling price of each good or service;
  • (v) Revenue recognition when the relevant performance obligation is met .

The Company's revenues are mainly derived from licensing agreements and contracts to perform research and development services commissioned by customers.

Regarding contracts involving the granting of license rights to the Company's intellectual property, firstly it is analyzed whether the granting of license right is distinguishable from other performance obligations. The Group recognizes distinct performance obligations when:

  • the client can benefit from the good/service either alone or in combination with other resources that are readily available;
  • the promise to transfer a good or service is identifiable separately from other promises in the contract.

If it is found that the grant of licensing right is not distinguishable from the promise to transfer other goods or services, the Company accounts for the promise to grant a license and the other promised goods or services as a single obligation to do.

If, on the other hand, it is found that the granting of the license right is distinct from the promise to transfer other goods or services, the Company analyzes whether the customer obtains an access right or a right to use the intellectual property. The customer has a right of access to the Society's intellectual property if all of the following conditions are met:

  • The contract requires, or the client expects, the Company to engage in activities that have significant impacts on intellectual property;
  • Such activities at the time they are performed do not transfer distinct goods/services to the customer;

  • Rights under the license expose the client to positive/negative effects for the Company's activities with respect to intellectual property.

If the granting of the license right confers a right of access to the intellectual property, revenues are recognized over the term of that right ("over time"). Conversely, if the license is in the form of a right to use the intellectual property, the related revenues are recognized at the time when that right is granted ("at a point in time").

The following is a summary outline of the main fees and related payment terms covered by the Company's license agreements:

Type of consideration Accounting Recognition
Up-front They represent consideration received in advance at the conclusion of the contract. If
referring to the granting of license fees, they are recognized:
1.
at point in time, in case they take the form of intellectual property use rights;
2.
over time, in case they take the form of intellectual property access rights.
If specific goods/services transferred to the customer are not identified when the up
front fee is collected, this collection represents an advance and is recognized as
revenue in the future when performance obligations are met ("over time").
The Company issues an invoice for the up-front fee at the same time as the contract is
signed. This invoice is usually due in 30 days. The payment terms do not include trade
discounts.
Commercial
Options
(so
called "Commercial Option
Fees")
If the license right is separable from other obligations to do, they are recognized as
intellectual property use rights and the related revenue is recognized at a point in time
when such license right is granted.
If the license right is not separable from the other obligations to do, such collection
represents an advance and is recognized as revenue in the future when the
performance obligations are met ("over time").
The Company invoices for the commercial option fee at the same time that the customer
notifies the Company of the customer's willingness to exercise said option. Such an
invoice is usually due in 30 days. The payment terms do not include commercial
discounts.
Milestone They represent variable payments contingent on the achievement of certain significant
goals in product development (e.g., the start of Phase III clinical trials).
Upon entering into the contract, management assesses whether achievement of the
milestones is highly probable and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction
price using the most probable value method ("most likely amount"). If it is likely that
there will be no subsequent significant revenue reversal, the milestone value is included
in the transaction price.
Payments related to events that are not under the Company's control and that typically
depend on obligations to do on the part of the counterparty (such as product approval
by regulatory authorities or achievement of customer-led research milestones) are not
considered highly probable until there is certainty that the milestone will be achieved
(e.g., a communication from the customer or regulatory authorities).
At the end of each fiscal year, management reassesses the probability of achieving all
milestones and, if necessary, adjusts its estimate of the overall transaction price.
The Company issues an invoice for the milestone at the same time that the customer
notifies the company that the goal/event has been achieved. This invoice is due,
usually, in 30 days. Payment terms do not include trade discounts.
Royalties (based on sales) The Company recognizes sales-based royalty revenue only when (or as) the latest of
the following events occurs:
1.
The subsequent sale or use; and
2.
The fulfillment (or partial fulfillment) of the obligation to do to which all or part
of the sales-based royalty was assigned.

With regard to other performance obligations contained in contracts (typically consisting of the performance of research and development services or the sale of GMP products), the Company recognizes the transaction price allocated to these activities as the performance obligation is fulfilled ("over time") if one of the following criteria is met:

  • i. the client simultaneously receives and uses the benefits from the service performed by the Company as the latter performs it;
  • ii. the Company's performance creates or improves the activity that the customer controls as the activity is created or improved;
  • iii. the service does not create an asset that presents an alternative use for the Company, and the latter has the enforceable right to payment for the completed service up to the relevant date.

If even one of the above criteria is not met, the performance obligation is considered fulfilled when the good or service is transferred and the related revenue is recognized At a piont in time.

Public grants

Unrestricted government grants are recognized in profit/(loss) for the period as other income when the government grant becomes receivable. Other asset-related government grants are initially recognized at fair value as deferred revenue if there is reasonable certainty that they will be received and that the Group will comply with the expected conditions for their receipt, and are then recognized in profit/(loss) for the period as other income on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset to which they relate.

Government grants are shown in the balance sheet under current and non-current assets in relation to their possibility of utilization.

Grants that offset costs incurred by the Group are recognized in profit/(loss) for the period on a systematic basis to offset them in the same period against the costs that the grant is intended to offset.

Cost recognition

Costs are recognized when they relate to goods and services purchased or consumed during the period or by systematic allocation on an accrual basis.

Financial income and expenses

Financial income and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis based on the interest earned on the net value of the related financial assets and liabilities using the effective interest rate.

Borrowing costs are accounted for on an accrual basis and recognized in the income statement in the year they accrue.

Financial income is accounted for based on the actual rate of return on an accrual basis.

Taxes

Tax expense for the year includes current and deferred taxes recognized in net income/(loss) for the year, except for those related to business combinations or items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income.

The Company has determined that interest and penalties related to income taxes, including accounting treatments to be applied to income taxes of an uncertain nature, are accounted for in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets because they do not meet the definition of income taxes.

(i) Current taxes

Current taxes include the estimated amount of income taxes payable or receivable, calculated on taxable income or tax loss for the year as well as any adjustments to taxes from prior years. The amount of taxes payable or receivable, determined on the basis of tax rates in effect or substantially in effect at the end of the fiscal year, also includes the best estimate of any portion payable or receivable that is subject to uncertainty factors. Current taxes also include any taxes related to dividends.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only when certain criteria are met.

(ii) Deferred taxes

Deferred taxes are recognized with reference to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements and the corresponding amounts recognized for tax purposes. Deferred taxes are not recognized for:

  • temporary differences related to the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction other than a business combination that affects neither accounting profit (or loss) nor taxable income (or tax loss);
  • Temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures to the extent that the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of temporary differences and it is probable that, in the foreseeable future, the temporary difference will not reverse; and
  • Taxable temporary differences related to the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which such assets can be used. Future taxable income is defined on the basis of the reversal of the related deductible temporary differences. If the amount of taxable temporary differences is not sufficient to fully recognize a deferred tax asset, future taxable income, adjusted for the cancellations of outstanding temporary differences, provided for in the company's business plan is considered. The value of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. These reductions must be restored when the probability of future taxable income increases.

Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that the Company will earn sufficient taxable profit in the future to utilize them.

Deferred taxes are measured using the tax rates that are expected to be applicable to temporary differences in the year in which they reverse based on tax rates established by measures in effect or substantially in effect at the end of the reporting period and reflect any uncertainties related to income taxes.

The valuation of deferred taxes reflects the tax effects arising from the manner in which the Company expects, as of the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying value of assets and liabilities. The presumption that the carrying value of investment properties measured at fair value will be recovered in full through a sale transaction has not been rebutted.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when certain criteria are met.

Operating income

Operating income is determined by the Company's continuing revenue-generating operating activities and other income and expenses related to operating activities. Net financial expenses and income taxes are excluded from operating income.

Earnings/loss per share

Basic earnings per share were calculated by considering the profit attributable to holders of ordinary shares and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

The calculation of diluted earnings per share was made considering the profit attributable to holders of ordinary shares and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year taking into account the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The dilutive effect of potential ordinary shares was calculated based on the treasury share method required by IAS 33.

Property, plant and equipment

iii) Survey and evaluation

An item of property, plant and equipment is valued at cost, including capitalized borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

If an item of property, plant and equipment is composed of several components having different useful lives, these components are accounted for separately (significant components).

The gain or loss generated from the disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit/(loss) for the year under "Other income" and "Other operating expenses," respectively.

iv) Subsequent costs

Subsequent costs are capitalized only when it is probable that the related future economic benefits will flow to the Company.

v) Depreciation

Depreciation of an item of property, plant and equipment is calculated to reduce the cost of that item by a straight-line basis, net of its estimated residual value, over the item's useful life. Depreciation is generally recognized in profit/(loss) for the year under "Depreciation and amortization." Land is not depreciated.

The estimated useful lives of the current and comparative years are as follows:

Category Rate
Buildings 3%
Plant and machinery 20%
Industrial and commercial equipment 15%
Cars 25%
Furniture and furnishings 12%
Leasehold improvements 8%

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are checked at the end of the fiscal year and adjusted where necessary.

Intangible assets

iv) Survey and evaluation

Research and development: research expenses are recognized in profit/(loss) for the year in which they are incurred. Development expenses are capitalized only if the cost attributable to the asset during its development can be reliably estimated, the product or process is feasible in technical and commercial terms, future economic benefits are probable, and the Company intends and has sufficient resources to complete its development and use or sell the asset. Other

development expenses are recognized in profit/(loss) for the year as they are incurred. Capitalized development expenses are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

If all capitalization requirements are not met, costs incurred by the Company for research and development activities are charged to the income statement in the year in which they are incurred.

Other intangible assets: other intangible assets, patents and licenses that have a finite useful life, are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

v) Subsequent costs

Costs subsequent to initial recognition are capitalized only when they increase the expected future economic benefits attributable to the asset to which they relate. All other subsequent costs, including those related to goodwill and internally generated trademarks, are charged to income/(loss) in the year in which they are incurred.

vi) Depreciation

Amortization is recognized in profit/(loss) for the year on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of intangible assets, from when the asset is available for use.

The estimated useful lives of the current and comparative years are as follows:

Category Average rate
Patent rights and rights to use intellectual works 5%
Concessions, licenses, trademarks and similar rights 10%

Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at each fiscal year-end and modified as necessary.

Activities by right of use

At the inception of the contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The contract is, or contains, a lease if, in exchange for consideration, it transfers the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company uses the definition of a lease in IFRS 16.

At the inception of the contract or upon modification of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the contract consideration to each lease component on the basis of its stand-alone price.

On the effective date of the lease, the Company recognizes the right-of-use asset and the lease liability. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, including the amount of the initial valuation of the lease liability, adjusted for lease payments due on or before the effective date, increased by the initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of the costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset or restoring the underlying asset or the site where it is located, net of lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is depreciated successively on a straight-line basis from the effective date to the end of the lease term, unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Company at the end of the lease term or, considering the cost of the right-of-use asset, the Company is expected to exercise the purchase option. In such a case, the right-to-use asset will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset, determined on the same basis as that of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is regularly decreased by any impairment losses and adjusted to reflect any changes resulting from subsequent valuations of the lease liability.

The Company values the lease liability at the present value of unpaid lease payments due on the effective date, discounting them using the lease's implicit interest rate. Where this rate cannot be easily determined, the Company uses the marginal financing rate. Generally, the Company uses the marginal financing rate as the discount rate.

The Company's marginal financing rate is calculated based on the interest rates obtained from various external financing sources by making certain adjustments that reflect the terms of the lease and the type of leased asset.

Lease payments due included in the measurement of the lease liability include:

  • fixed payments (including substantially fixed payments);
  • Variable lease payments due that depend on an index or rate, initially evaluated using an index or rate on the effective date;
  • The amounts expected to be paid as collateral on the residual value; and
  • the exercise price of a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, payments due for the lease in an optional renewal period if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the renewal option, and penalties for early termination of the lease, unless the Company is reasonably certain not to terminate the lease early.

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method and is remeasured when there is a change in the future lease payments due resulting from a change in the index or rate, when there is a change in the amount the Company expects to have to pay as security on the residual value, or when the Company changes its valuation with reference to whether or not it exercises an option to purchase, extend, or terminate, or when there is a revision in the payments due for the lease that is fixed in substance.

When the lease liability is remeasured, the lessee makes a corresponding change in the right-of-use asset. If the book value of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero, the lessee recognizes the change in profit/(loss) for the year.

The Company has applied IFRS 16 using the modified retroactive application method as of January 1, 2019.

Short-term leasing and leasing of low-value assets

The Company has decided not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to low-value assets and shortterm leases, including computer equipment. The Company recognizes the related lease payments due as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Equity investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and enterprises

Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are included in the financial statements using the equity method, as permitted by IAS 27 and in accordance with IAS 28 (Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures).

Subsidiaries, affiliates, and joint ventures are included in the financial statements from the date that control, significant influence, or joint control begins and until that situation ceases.

The financial statements of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are appropriately amended and reclassified, where necessary, to conform to international accounting standards and uniform classification criteria within the Group.

In applying the equity method, an investment in a subsidiary, associate, or joint venture is initially recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the investor's share of the investee's profits or losses realized after the date of acquisition. The investor's share of the investee's profit (loss) for the year is recognized in the separate income statement. Dividends received from an investee reduce the carrying value of the investment. Adjustments to the carrying value of the investment are also due to changes in items in the investee's other comprehensive income (e.g., changes arising from foreign currency translation differences). The investor's share of such changes is recognized in other comprehensive income. If an entity's share of losses in a subsidiary, associate, or joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the subsidiary, associate, or joint venture, the entity discontinues recognition of its share of the additional losses. After zeroing out the interest, the further losses are accrued and recognized as a liability, only to the extent that the entity has entered into implied legal obligations or made payments on behalf of the subsidiary, associate or joint venture. If the subsidiary or associate or joint venture later makes profits, the entity resumes recognizing its share of profits only after it has equalized its share of unrecognized losses. Gains and losses arising from "upward" and "downward" transactions between an entity and a subsidiary, associate or joint venture are recognized in the entity's financial statements only to the extent of the minority interest in the subsidiary, associate or joint venture. The investor's share of the subsidiary's, associate's, or joint venture's profits and losses resulting from such transactions is eliminated in the income statement line "income from investments" with an offset against the value of the asset, in "upward" transactions, and the value of the investment, in "downward" transactions. If there is objective evidence of impairment, the equity investment is subjected to the impairment test procedure, described in the section "Impairment" to which we refer for more details.

Finally, please note that the separate financial statements are prepared in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the subsidiary, associate or joint venture operates (functional currency). For the purpose of applying the equity method, the financial statements of each foreign entity are expressed in euros, which is the functional currency of Philogen S.p.A. and the presentation currency of the separate financial statements.

All assets and liabilities of foreign companies in currencies other than the euro are translated using the exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date (current exchange rate method). Income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. Foreign exchange differences resulting from the application of this method, as well as foreign exchange differences resulting from a comparison of opening shareholders' equity converted at current exchange rates and the same converted at historical exchange rates, flow through the statement of comprehensive income and are accumulated in a special equity reserve until the investment is sold.

The exchange rates used to translate the financial statements of subsidiaries, affiliates and joint ventures into euros are shown in the appropriate table:

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of purchase or production cost and net realizable value. Purchase cost is defined as the actual purchase price plus ancillary charges. The purchase cost of materials includes, in addition to the price of the material, the costs of transportation, customs, other taxes and other costs directly attributable to that material. Returns, trade discounts, rebates and premiums are deducted from cost. Production cost means all direct costs and indirect costs for the portion reasonably attributable to the product relating to the period of manufacture and up to the time from which the good can be used, considered on the basis of normal production capacity. Realization value that can be inferred from market trends is equal to the estimated selling price of goods and finished products in the normal course of business, net of assumed completion costs and direct selling costs. For the purpose of determining the realizable value inferable from market trends, the rate of obsolescence and the turnaround time of inventories are taken into account, among other things. The cost of inventories is determined using the weighted average cost method. In the case of inventories of goods produced by the Company, the cost includes a share of overhead expenses determined on the basis of normal production capacity.

Financial instruments

iv) Survey and evaluation

Trade receivables and debt securities issued are recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized on the trade date, which is when the Company becomes a contractual party to the financial instrument.

Except for trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component, financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus or minus, in the case of financial assets or liabilities not measured at FVTPL, the transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of the financial asset. Upon initial recognition, trade receivables that do not have a significant financing component are valued at their transaction price.

Classification and subsequent evaluation

Financial assets:

Upon initial recognition, a financial asset is classified according to its valuation: amortized cost; fair value recognized in other comprehensive income (FVOCI) - debt security; FVOCI - equity security; or fair value recognized in profit/(loss) for the year (FVTPL).

Financial assets are not reclassified after their initial recognition unless the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets. In such a case, all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first fiscal year following the change in business model.

A financial asset should be measured at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met and it is not designated at FVTPL:

  • the financial asset is owned as part of a business model whose objective is the ownership of financial assets aimed at collecting the related contractual cash flows; and
  • the contractual terms of the financial asset provide for cash flows at certain dates represented solely by payments of principal and interest on the amount of principal to be repaid.

A financial asset should be assessed at FVOCI if both of the following conditions are met and it is not designated at FVTPL:

  • the financial asset is owned as part of a business model whose objective is achieved through both the collection of contractual cash flows and the sale of financial assets; and
  • the contractual terms of the financial asset provide for cash flows at certain dates represented solely by payments of principal and interest on the amount of principal to be repaid.

Upon initial recognition of an equity security not held for trading purposes, the Company may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income. This choice is made for each asset.

All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or FVOCI, as indicated above, are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial instruments. Upon initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate the financial asset as measured at fair value through profit or loss if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting asymmetry that would otherwise result from measuring the financial asset at amortized cost or FVOCI.

Financial activities: evaluation of the business model

With specific reference to Business Model, IFRS 9 identifies three different business models, which in turn reflect the ways in which financial activities are managed:

  • "Held To Collect": a business model under which financial assets are held with the objective of realizing contractual cash flows by holding the financial instrument to maturity;
  • "Held to Collect and Sell": a business model that includes financial assets held with the goal of both realizing contractual cash flows over the life of the asset and collecting proceeds from the sale of the asset;
  • "Other": business model includes financial instruments that cannot be classified into the previous categories, mainly represented by financial assets held for the purpose of realizing cash flows through sale (assets held for trading).

The business model thus represents how the Company manages its financial assets, that is, how it intends to realize cash flows from them.

The Company evaluates the objective of the business model under which the financial asset is held at the portfolio level as best reflecting how the asset is managed and the information reported to management. Such information includes:

  • the stated criteria and objectives of the portfolio and the practical application of those criteria, including, among others, whether management's strategy is based on obtaining interest income from the contract, maintaining a certain interest rate profile, aligning the duration of financial assets with that of related liabilities, or expected cash flows or raising cash flows through the sale of assets;
  • how portfolio performance is evaluated and how performance is reported to the Company's key management personnel;
  • the risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within the business model) and how those risks are managed;
  • The way in which the firm's executives are compensated (for example, whether compensation is based on the fair value of assets under management or on contractual cash flows collected); and
  • the frequency, value and timing of sales of financial assets in previous years, the reasons for sales, and expectations regarding future sales.

Transfers of financial assets to third parties as part of transactions that do not result in derecognition are not considered sales for business model evaluation purposes, consistent with the Company's retention of such assets on its balance sheet.

Financial assets that meet the definition of financial assets held for trading or whose performance is measured on the basis of fair value are measured at FVTPL.

Financial assets: assessment of whether contractual cash flows are represented solely by payments of principal and interest.

For valuation purposes, 'principal' is the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition, while 'interest' is the consideration for the time value of money, for the credit risk associated with the amount of principal to be repaid during a given period of time, and for other basic risks and costs associated with the loan (e.g., liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well as for the profit margin.

In assessing whether the contractual cash flows consist solely of principal and interest payments, the Company considers the contractual terms of the instrument. Therefore, it assesses, among others, whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that changes the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that the following condition is not met. For evaluation purposes, the Company considers:

  • contingent events that would change the timing or amount of cash flows;
  • clauses that could adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable-rate elements;
  • prepayment and extension elements; and clauses that limit the Company's demands for cash flows from specific activities (e.g., non-recourse elements).

The prepayment element is consistent with the criterion of "cash flows represented solely by payments of principal and interest" when the prepayment amount substantially represents the unpaid amounts of principal and accrued interest on the principal amount to be repaid, which may include reasonable compensation for early termination of the contract. In addition, in the case of a financial asset acquired at a significant premium or discount to the nominal contractual amount, an item that allows or requires a prepayment equal to an amount that substantially represents the nominal contractual amount plus accrued (but unpaid) contractual interest (which may include reasonable compensation for early termination of the contract) is accounted for in accordance with this criterion if the fair value of the prepayment item is not significant upon initial recognition.

valued at FVOCI
These assets, after passing the SPPI Test, are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest
income calculated in accordance with the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and
losses, and impairment losses are recognized in net income/(loss) for the year. Other net gains
and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. Upon derecognition, accumulated
gains or losses in other comprehensive income are reclassified to net income/(loss) for the year.
Equity
securities
valued at FVOCI
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized in net
income/(loss) for the year unless they clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the
investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and are
never reclassified to net income/(loss) for the year.

Financial liabilities: classification, subsequent valuation, and gains and losses

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or at FVTPL. A financial liability is classified at FVTPL when it is held for trading, represents a derivative, or is designated as such upon initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and any changes, including interest expense, are recognized in profit/(loss) for the year. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains/(losses) are recognized in net income/(loss) for the year, as are any gains or losses from derecognition.

Financial assets

Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from them expire, when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows under a transaction in which substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred, or when the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset and does not retain control of the financial asset.

The Company is involved in transactions involving the transfer of assets recognized in its statement of financial position, but retains all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred asset. In such cases, the transferred assets are not derecognized.

Financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when the obligation specified in the contract has been fulfilled or cancelled or has expired. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when the relevant contractual terms are changed and the cash flows of the changed liability are substantially different. In such a case, a new financial liability is recognized at fair value based on the changed contractual terms.

The difference between the book value of the extinguished financial liability and the consideration paid (including assets not represented by cash transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit/(loss) for the year.

vi) Compensation

Financial assets and financial liabilities may be offset and the amount resulting from the offset is presented in the statement of financial position if, and only if, the Company currently has the legal right to offset such amounts and intends to settle the balance on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Impairment losses

v) Financial instruments and assets arising from contracts

The Company recognizes allowances for expected credit losses related to:

  • Financial assets measured at amortized cost;
  • debt securities valued at FVOCI; and
  • Activities arising from contract.

In addition, the Company recognizes among trade and other receivables allowances for expected losses over the life of the receivables implicit in the lease contracts.

The Company assesses allowances for impairment at an amount equal to the expected losses over the life of the loan, except as noted below, for the following twelve months:

  • Debt securities with low credit risk at the balance sheet date; and
  • other debt securities and bank accounts whose credit risk (i.e., the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not significantly increased after initial recognition.

Allowances for impairment of trade receivables (including those related to leases) and contract assets are always valued at an amount equal to the expected losses over the life of the receivable.

To determine whether credit risk related to a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition in order to estimate expected credit losses, the Company considers reasonable and demonstrable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Company's historical experience, credit evaluation as well as information indicative of expected developments ('forwardlooking information').

Long-lived expected credit losses are the expected credit losses arising from all possible defaults over the expected life of a financial instrument.

Expected credit losses at 12 months are expected credit losses arising from possible defaults within 12 months of the reporting date (or within a shorter period if the expected life of a financial instrument is less than 12 months).

The maximum period to be considered in assessing expected credit losses is the maximum contractual period during which the Company is exposed to credit risk.

Evaluation of expected credit losses

Expected credit losses (ECLs) are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Accounts receivable losses are the present value of all uncollectibles (i.e., the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows the Company expects to receive).

ECLs are discounted using the effective interest criterion of the financial asset.

Non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the Company tests whether there is objective evidence of impairment with respect to the carrying values of its nonfinancial assets, excluding, investment properties, inventories, assets arising from contracts, and deferred tax assets. If on the basis of this review, it appears that the assets are indeed impaired, the Company estimates their recoverable amount.

Share capital

In accordance with IAS 32, ordinary shares and other shares issued by the Company are classified as equity instruments.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of ordinary shares are recognized as a decrease in equity. Income taxes related to the transaction costs of an equity transaction are recognized in accordance with IAS 12.

Funds

The amount of the provisions is the present value of estimated expected cash flows, discounted at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the specific risks associated with the liability.

Employee benefits

As of January 1, 2007, the 2007 Budget Law and its implementing decrees introduced significant changes in the rules governing severance pay, including the worker's choice as to whether to allocate his or her accruing severance pay to supplementary pension funds or to the "Treasury Fund" managed by INPS. It follows, therefore, that the obligation to INPS and the contributions to supplementary pension funds assume, under IAS 19, the nature of "Defined Contribution Plans," while the amounts registered for severance pay retain the nature of "Defined Benefit Plans."

The Company's net obligation arising from defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have accrued in exchange for service in the current and previous years; this benefit is discounted and the fair value of any plan assets are deducted from liabilities.

The calculation is performed by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. If the calculation generates a benefit to the Company, the amount of the asset recognized is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future plan contributions. In order to determine the present value of economic benefits, the minimum funding requirements applicable to any plan of the Company shall be considered.

Actuarial gains and losses, returns from plan assets (excluding interest), and the effect of the asset ceiling (excluding any interest) arising on remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income. Net interest for the year on the net defined benefit liability/(asset) is calculated by applying to the net defined benefit liability/(asset), the discount rate used to discount the defined benefit obligation, determined at the beginning of the year, considering any changes in the net defined benefit liability/(asset) that occurred during the year as a result of

contributions received and benefits paid. Net interest and other costs related to defined benefit plans, on the other hand, are recognized in net income/(loss) for the year.

When changes are made to a plan's benefits or when a plan is reduced, the portion of the economic benefit relating to past service or the gain or loss resulting from the reduction of the plan is recognized in net income/(loss) for the year when the adjustment or reduction occurs.

Share-based payments

The grant date fair value of incentives recognized in equity-settled share-based payment granted to employees is usually recognized as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period during which employees earn the right to the incentives. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of incentives for which the conditions of continued employment and non-market performance have vested, so that the final amount recognized as an expense is based on the number of incentives that meet those conditions as of the vesting date. In the case of incentives recognized in share-based payment whose conditions are not to be considered vesting, the fair value as of the grant date of the share-based payment is measured to reflect those conditions. With respect to non-vesting conditions, any differences between the assumptions made on the grant date and the actual assumptions will have no impact on the financial statements.

The fair value of the amount payable to employees in respect of cash-settled share appreciation rights is recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in the liability over the period during which employees accrue the unconditional right to receive payment. The liability is measured at each reporting date and the settlement date based on the fair value of the stock appreciation rights. Any changes in the fair value of the liability are recognized in net income/(loss) for the year.

Fair value assessments

Various accounting standards and certain disclosure requirements require the Company to measure the fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. In assessing the fair value of an asset or liability, the Company uses observable market data to the extent possible. Fair values are separated into various hierarchical levels based on the input data used in the valuation techniques, as illustrated below

  • Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  • Level 2: Input data other than the quoted prices in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).
  • Level 3: Input data related to the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

Fair value is the price that would be received at the measurement date for the sale of an asset or that would be paid for the transfer of a liability in a regular transaction between market participants in the principal (or most advantageous) market to which the Company has access at that time. The fair value of a liability reflects the effect of a default risk.

Where available, the Company assesses the fair value of an instrument using the quoted price of that instrument in an active market. A market is active when transactions in the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide useful pricing information on an ongoing basis.

In the absence of a quoted price in an active market, the Company uses valuation techniques by maximizing the use of observable input data and minimizing the use of unobservable input data. The chosen valuation technique includes all factors that market participants would consider in estimating the transaction price.

If an asset or liability measured at fair value has a bid and a ask price, the Company values the asset and long positions at the bid price and the liability and short positions at the ask price.

The best evidence of the fair value of a financial instrument at initial recognition is usually the transaction price (i.e., the fair value of the consideration given or received). If the Company notices a difference between the fair value at initial recognition and the transaction price, and the fair value is not determined either by using a quoted price in an active market for identical assets or liabilities, or by means of a valuation technique whose unobservable inputs are considered insignificant, the financial instrument is initially measured at fair value, adjusted to defer the difference between the fair value at initial recognition and the transaction price. Thereafter, this difference is recognized in profit/(loss) for the period

over the life of the instrument by an appropriate method, but no later than when the valuation is fully supported by observable market data or the transaction is completed.

Operating area

IFRS 8 - Operating Segments - defines an operating segment as a component:

  • Involving revenue- and cost-generating business activities;
  • whose operational results are reviewed periodically at the highest decision-making level;
  • For which separate economic and financial data are available.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is identified in the Executive Chairman.

The CODM receives information, primarily from the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), regarding the progress of research programs, licensing contracts, and products in order to monitor business progress and take related decision-making actions.

In this regard, the Company's management has identified a single business segment. The substantially homogeneous type of business, together with the status of projects under development, does not allow the division into several segments subject to different risks and benefits from other business segments. In addition, the services provided, the nature of production processes, and the type of customers by product do not allow the Company's activities to be split into different business segments. Therefore, the Company believes that at present, an economic and financial representation by business and geographic segments would not provide a better representation and understanding of the business or its risks and rewards.

Changes in international accounting standards, interpretations and amendments

Below are the new accounting standards, interpretations and improvements issued by the IASB and adopted as of January 1, 2024:

Amendments to IFRS 16 - Liabilities for Leases in a Sale and leaseback (mandatory application from January I, 2024)

The amendments introduce a new accounting model and require the landlord-seller to revalue transactions entered into since 2019. They are effective Jan. 1, 2024, and must be applied retrospectively. Early application is permitted.

This change had no impact on the Group.

Amendments to IAS 1 - Non-current liabilities with covenants and classification of current and non-current liabilities.

Under amendments to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements," the classification of some liabilities as current or noncurrent may change (e.g., convertible debt). In addition, companies may have to provide new disclosures for liabilities subject to covenants.

The changes apply as of January 1, 2024 and are to be applied retrospectively.

This change had no impact on the Group.

Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations not yet endorsed by the European Union as of December 31, 2024

The following accounting standards, amendments and interpretations have been issued by the IASB but not yet transposed by the EU:

  • IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements(mandatory application from January 1, 2027);
  • Amendments to IAS 21 Impossibility of Foreign Exchange (effective January 1, 2025);
