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) as of March 3, 2021, is an Italian-Swiss company founded in 1996, operating in the biotechnology sector and specializing in the research and development of drugs for the treatment of highly lethal diseases. In particular, the Group is a leader in the identification of high-affinity ligands (human monoclonal antibodies and small organic molecules) for tumor antigens (i.e., proteins expressed in tumors but not in healthy tissues). These ligands are primarily used to selectively deliver an active agent (e.g., cytokines, radionuclides, cytotoxic agents) to the diseased area. The Group's focus is primarily on the development of oncology drugs, although the company has also advanced products for the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases into clinical trials.
In recent years, Philogen has consolidated and expanded its pipeline, both by bringing new drugs into clinical trials and by initiating experimental studies in new indications with products already in development. As of the date of this Report, the Group maintains a diversified pipeline thanks to the conduct of numerous Phase II and III registration studies. In particular, Nidlegy™ and Fibromun are the subject of international Phase III clinical trials.
The Group has access to a research and development facility in Zurich, through its subsidiary, where new experimental drugs are discovered. The most promising candidates (in terms of biochemical characteristics, safety, and efficacy based on preclinical tumor models) are subsequently transferred to Siena, where they are manufactured at the Company's GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) facilities.
As of today, the Philogen Group has two GMP manufacturing facilities located in the province of Siena, both authorized by the Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA).
The Montarioso site is authorized to manufacture investigational medicinal products and also holds GMP compliance certification and authorization for the production/import of active pharmaceutical ingredients. The Rosia site is authorized to manufacture sterile products for clinical and commercial use and also holds authorization for the production/import of active pharmaceutical ingredients for the same purposes.
This structure enables the Group to operate through a manufacturing infrastructure capable of supporting both clinical and commercial activities.
Specifically:
- Montarioso: AIFA authorization (GMP MED) dated February 13, 2024, for the production of investigational medicinal products (IMP), No. aM-29/2024.
- Montarioso: GMP certificate of compliance issued by AIFA (GMP MED) on February 13, 2024, No. IT/38/H/2024.
- Montarioso: AIFA authorization (GMP API) dated January 15, 2025, regarding the production/importation of active pharmaceutical ingredients, No. API-7/2025.
- Rosia: AIFA authorization (MED) dated 11/09/2023 for the aseptic production of sterile drug products for clinical and commercial use, No. aM-149/2023.
- Rosia: AIFA authorization (API) dated September 10, 2025, for the production/importation of active substances for clinical and commercial use, No. GMP API – API/175/2025.

Philogen
2. The Group's Strategy
Philogen is a biotechnology company with strong vertical integration, covering all phases of drug development, including research, GMP manufacturing, and clinical development.
The Group's pipeline is presented below:

In particular,
Nidlegy™: The Company, together with Sun Pharma, with whom it signed a licensing agreement in May 2023, for the commercialization, licensing, and supply of Nidlegy™ in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand for the treatment of skin cancers, while Philogen retains the rights to all other territories and therapeutic indications.
The Company is working toward resubmitting the Marketing Authorization Application to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for melanoma. The U.S. Phase III study aimed at obtaining approval in the United States is ongoing. In addition, activities in non-melanoma skin cancers have been expanded with the launch of new registration studies in locally advanced basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC).
Fibromun: On October 1, 2024, the Philogen Group announced a further licensing agreement with Sun Pharma, this time for the commercialization of Fibromun (L19TNF), an innovative anti-tumor immunotherapy currently being tested in clinical trials by Philogen for the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma and glioblastoma. Sun Pharma will have exclusive worldwide marketing rights for Fibromun. Philogen will complete the clinical trials, pursue marketing authorization with regulatory authorities, and manufacture the commercial batches. Sun Pharma will be responsible for marketing activities.
Progress is also being made in the field of small organic molecules, which characterize the pipeline of the subsidiary Philochem.
The team at Philochem AG, a subsidiary, has isolated high-affinity small-molecule organic ligands from DNA-encoded chemical libraries targeting various tumor-associated antigens. By conjugating these ligands to potent payloads such as cytotoxic drugs or radionuclides, it has developed a series of promising small-molecule diagnostic and therapeutic compounds.
OncoFAP: The OncoFAP ligand is the subject of several clinical trials, both as a radioactive and non-radioactive derivative. 68Ga-OncoFAP is the subject of an industrial collaboration with Blue Earth Diagnostic for imaging applications. 177Lu-OncoFAP-23 is a proprietary drug being studied in Phase I for therapeutic applications. OncoFAP-GlyPro-MMAE will enter clinical development in patients in the near future.
68Ga-OncoCAIX: The Group is developing this investigational drug for imaging applications. Phase I has been completed, and preparations are underway for the launch of Phase III.
OncoACP3: On June 10, 2025, a licensing agreement was announced with RayzeBio worth up to $1.35 billion plus royalties.
The Group also engages in collaboration, licensing, and service provision (including GMP activities) for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, as well as organizations and institutions operating in the biotechnology research sector. It has established partnerships with numerous renowned entities.

3. Intellectual Property
The Group protects the results of its research and development activities through a broad international portfolio of patents for industrial inventions and pending patent applications, thereby consolidating its patent position in the field of vascular targeting.
Patents and patent applications serve to protect market exclusivity for candidate products, the technical processes necessary for their production, or the related protocols for medical treatment.
The term of individual patents depends on the statutory term of patents in the countries where they were granted. In most countries, including Italy, the patent term is 20 years from the earliest claimed filing date of a non-provisional patent application or its foreign equivalent in the country in question.
The Group holds more than one hundred national patents filed in various countries.
The patents mainly include: (i) patents on "vascular targets," relating to certain ligands with affinity for angiogenesis markers in specific indications; (ii) "technology" patents relating to the fundamental enabling technologies used in the Group's activities; (iii) "product" patents, i.e., patents relating to product candidates in preclinical and clinical development and their constituent elements; and (iv) "combination" patents relating to the combination of patented product candidates with therapeutic agents not covered by patents.

Macroeconomic Context
2025 proved to be a year of unexpected resilience for the global economy, and 2026 is inheriting a complex dynamic: on the one hand, growth exceeding expectations in the major advanced economies; on the other, a more fragile environment, marked by new geopolitical pressures and greater volatility in energy markets. Although many economies have faced recurring shocks—from rising oil prices to tensions in the Middle East—global growth has remained stronger than expected, driven largely by the private sector and resilient labor markets, as in previous years. The ability to absorb tight financial conditions—albeit less extreme than in 2022–2023—prevented major economic regions from falling into recession.
The most evident resilience was observed in the United States, which continues to be the main driver of global growth. Strong consumer spending, fueled by a still-solid labor market and growing investment in the artificial intelligence sector, offset the effects of interest rates remaining at high levels. In 2026, the Federal Reserve chose to suspend further rate cuts, adopting a wait-and-see approach to assess the impact of rising energy prices and the uncertainties generated by the conflict in Iran. Although gradually slowing, the U.S. economy is demonstrating a greater capacity to adapt than initially forecast, even as the labor market begins to show early signs of cooling.
In contrast, Europe is going through a weaker phase. The impact of the energy crisis, the industrial slowdown—particularly in Germany—and the region's greater sensitivity to shocks in gas and oil prices have led to a worsening outlook for 2026. In the third and fourth quarters of 2025, growth in the Eurozone was driven primarily by private consumption, thanks to inflation falling to levels close to the target and the gradual recovery of consumer confidence. However, the rise in energy prices linked to the conflict in the Middle East has once again increased short-term inflationary pressures. In this context, the ECB kept rates unchanged and adopted a cautious stance, signaling a more uncertain macroeconomic outlook and the need to closely monitor the transmission of monetary policy, especially in peripheral countries.
In China, the second half of 2025 and early 2026 revealed an economy in transition. Positive signs of stabilization—in both economic activity and prices—were offset by the persistent fragility of the real estate sector, which continues to slow the pace of growth. Although a growth target of between 4.5% and 5% has been set for 2026, weak domestic demand and the uncertain outlook for the real estate sector are weighing on the medium-term outlook. Authorities have stepped up measures to support demand and the quality of existing assets, but the sector's normalization remains elusive.
On the price front, the disinflationary process that continued in 2024–2025 is proving more uneven than expected. Price dynamics in 2026 have once again been affected by the surge in oil prices, driven by geopolitical tensions in the Persian Gulf and temporary disruptions to production and energy flows. While acknowledging the slowdown in core inflation, central banks have become more cautious in outlining easing paths. To preserve its credibility and avert a second wave of inflation, the Federal Reserve continues to keep rates at restrictive levels, while the ECB signals that energy pressures could keep inflation above target for a longer period than expected.
Risks to global growth remain tilted to the downside. The main source of uncertainty is geopolitical tensions: the war in the Middle East, which began between late 2025 and early 2026, has already caused oil prices to rise and could lead to new shocks to global inflation, particularly in Europe and Asia. At the same time, China's fragility and the possibility of monetary policy errors amplify the vulnerability of the global economy. An excessively prolonged tightening could further slow growth and reignite risks to financial stability, while too rapid an easing could weaken central banks' credibility regarding price stability.
Uncertainty surrounding energy prices continues to drive significant volatility. Should oil or gas prices fluctuate further, they could affect both investment values and global capital flows. Overall, 2026 is shaping up to be a year in which the resilience of the economic cycle coexists with growing risks: geopolitical tensions, energy shocks, China's transition, and Europe's sensitivity are the key variables that will determine the global macro-financial trajectory in the coming months.

Introduction
Dear Shareholders,
The Management Report of Philogen S.p.A. (hereinafter also referred to as the "Company" or the "Parent Company" and, together with its Swiss subsidiary Philochem, the "Group") is presented in conjunction with the financial statements of Philogen S.p.A. and the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year 2025.
This Management Report is intended to provide information on the Company's and the Group's income, assets, financial position, and operations, supplemented, where possible, by historical data and/or alternative performance metrics, and has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Article 2428 of the Italian Civil Code and Legislative Decree No. 58 of February 24, 1998 ("Consolidated Law on Finance" or "TUF").
Please refer to the notes to the financial statements for all information pertaining to the presentation of the separate financial statements and the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025.
1. Information on the Group
The Group focuses its activities on the development of drugs based primarily on antibody conjugates, capable of achieving selective accumulation at sites where the disease is present.
This is made possible by a scientific approach known as tumor targeting, in which the Group is a recognized global scientific leader. In this context, the Group carries out all phases of its production cycle internally, which includes the discovery and production 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 its subsidiary Philochem AG is headquartered.
Since 2019, the Group has focused its development activities primarily on the two most advanced products in its pipeline—Fibromun and Nidlegy™—embarking on a regulatory testing pathway for the two drugs. At the same time, it has redesigned a competitive and diversified pipeline to opportunistically evaluate licensing agreements for its products or platforms under development. In parallel, the Group has invested in the field of high-affinity small molecules for cancer targets, leading to the discovery of OncoFAP and OncoACP3, which are currently in the clinical trial phase.
The Group has access to a research and development facility in Zurich (through its subsidiary "Philochem"), where new experimental drugs are discovered. The most promising candidates (in terms of biochemical characteristics, safety, and efficacy based on preclinical tumor models) are subsequently transferred to Siena, where they are produced at the Company's GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) facilities. Philogen operates a GMP facility in Montarioso (Siena) approved by the Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA) for the production of experimental antibody-based drugs in mammalian cells. A second GMP production facility has also been built at the Rosia (Siena) site for the production of both commercial drugs and those intended for clinical trials. For details regarding the certifications obtained, please refer to paragraph 1, "History."
It should be noted that the Parent Company is considered an "SME" pursuant to Article 1, paragraph 1, letter w)-quater 1 of the Consolidated Law on Finance (TUF), which defines small and medium-sized enterprises as issuers of listed shares with a market capitalization of less than 1,000 million euros; issuers of listed shares that have exceeded this limit for three consecutive fiscal years are not considered SMEs, (CONSOB publishes the list of companies on its website). Please note that Class B shares (shares with multiple voting rights) are excluded from the Borsa Italiana market capitalization. Philogen's average market capitalization, net of Class B shares, from the start of trading (March 3, 2021) through December 31, 2025, amounts to €504.17 million.

4. Significant events during the fiscal year
4.1 License agreement between the subsidiary Philochem AG and RayzeBio
On June 10, 2025, Philogen S.p.A. announced to the market, via a press release published on the company's website (https://www.philogen.com/investors/press-releases/), that its subsidiary Philochem AG and RayzeBio Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bristol-Myers Squibb) had entered into a licensing agreement under which Philochem granted RayzeBio exclusive worldwide rights to develop, manufacture, and commercialize OncoACP3 (a therapeutic and diagnostic agent in clinical development for the treatment of prostate cancer).
Under the agreement, Philochem received an upfront payment of $350 million, and RayzeBio will be responsible for the development and subsequent commercialization of OncoACP3.
The license agreement also provides for milestone payments of up to $1 billion based on development, regulatory, and commercialization milestones, as well as royalties ranging from the mid-single to low double digits, payable on global net sales.
The effective date of the agreement was subject to antitrust review (waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act), which postponed the effective date of the agreement from June 10, the date of signing, to August 18, the effective closing date.
In fact, on August 18, Philochem AG and RayzeBio, Inc. announced the successful completion of the antitrust review in the United States and the entry into force of the global licensing agreement for OncoACP3.
The upfront payment was invoiced in August 2025 and received in September 2025.
4.2 Update on the Marketing Authorization Application for Nidlegy™
On June 24, 2025, Philogen S.p.A. announced to the market, via a press release published on the Company's website (https://www.philogen.com/investors/press-releases/), its decision to voluntarily withdraw the marketing authorization application submitted to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the product Nidlegy™, an application that had been filed in June 2024.
The decision to withdraw the application, the Company explained, is due to the time required to collect additional data related to Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) aspects and clinical data.
The Company plans to resubmit an updated Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) as soon as possible, subject to the time required to gather the aforementioned data.

Cash Incentive Plan ("MBO")
From June 1, 2025, through May 31, 2026, the Executive Directors (Dario Neri, Duccio Neri, and Giovanni Neri) and the Company's executives are beneficiaries of an incentive plan, known as "management by objectives" ("MBO"), under which they may be entitled to receive an annual incentive, the amount of which is commensurate with the achievement of corporate performance objectives.
The maximum impact of the MBO on the annual compensation of the Executive Directors is 75%, while for Executives it ranges from 10% to 22% of annual compensation.
Subject to the maximum MBO percentage described above, on May 27, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors, upon the proposal of the Nominating and Compensation Committee, assigned performance objectives and defined the targets associated with the maximum monetary compensation for the aforementioned Executive Directors and Company Executives for the period from June 1, 2025, to May 31, 2026.
It should be noted that, in line with the provisions of the Remuneration Policy for the year 2024, the MBO for the period April 1, 2024 – March 31, 2025 was paid to the Executive Directors in May 2025.
With regard to the 2024-2025 MBO awarded to an executive, it should be noted that one of the objectives assigned to said executive included a performance period ending on September 30, 2025; therefore, at the Board of Directors meeting held on November 11, 2025, the Company determined that the objective in question had not been met.

4.7 Relations with the Italian fiscal authority (Agenzia delle Entrate)
In March 2025, the Siena Revenue Agency initiated a tax audit regarding direct taxes for the tax years 2019 through 2023. The audit primarily concerned operating grants and capital grants received by the Company during the relevant periods, totaling €10,243 thousand, and their exclusion from the taxable base for IRES and IRAP direct taxes, which was negative in any case since the Company recorded operating losses in the relevant years.
In May 2025, the Company received notice of the initiation of the assessment report, followed by draft assessment notices issued by the Siena Revenue Agency.
The Company immediately entered into discussions with the Agency, contesting the content of the draft assessment notices in their entirety. On December 22, 2025, the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) issued a guidance document clarifying the tax treatment of such credits, thereby supporting the taxpayer's interpretation and conduct.
At present, the Company is awaiting operational guidance from the Italian Revenue Agency following the directive challenging its actions.
It should be noted that, in the event of an adverse ruling, the prior-year tax losses for the relevant years would be reduced by the amount indicated above, resulting in a reduction of deferred tax assets recognized in the financial statements by approximately €3 million, from approximately €10 million to approximately €7 million, without involving any cash outflow.
Please refer to Note 8 of the consolidated financial statements
4.8 2025 Sustainability Report
The Company has voluntarily prepared its fourth Sustainability Report, which highlights the progress made and reaffirms its sustainability philosophy based on concrete choices, actions, and projects aimed at guiding the Group toward a sustainable, solid, and long-term future, while continuing to generate value for investors, patients, and all key stakeholders.
The document has been prepared in accordance with the GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards (GRI) and includes, in the introductory section, the "Letter to Stakeholders," signed by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Board of Directors, which outlines the Company's commitment to sustainable reporting and references the strategic principles that guide the Group's decisions.
It should be noted that the Company does not currently fall within the scope of the sustainability reporting obligations set forth by the CSRD.
The 2025 Sustainability Report was approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting on March 27, 2026. Following approval, the document was published in the "Sustainability" section of the Company's website, under Governance / Sustainability – ESG (www.philogen.com).

() Operating costs consist of the sum of the following balance sheet items: purchases of raw materials and supplies, costs for services, costs for use of third-party assets, personnel costs, and other operating costs
(*) EBITDA represents operating profit 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 under IFRS; therefore, it should not be considered an alternative measure for assessing the Group's operating performance. The Company believes that EBITDA is an important metric for measuring the Group's performance as it allows for an analysis of the Group's profitability by eliminating the effects of non-recurring economic items. Since EBITDA is not a measure whose calculation is regulated by the accounting standards applicable to the preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements, the method used to calculate EBITDA may not be consistent with that adopted by other groups, and therefore may not be comparable.
Revenues from contracts with customers amounted to €314,325 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025, showing an increase of approximately 325% (€73,996 thousand as of December 31, 2024), thanks to contracts entered into during 2025 and the continuation of those previously signed.
In this regard, it should be noted that on June 10, 2025, a licensing agreement was signed between the subsidiary Philochem AG and RayzeBio, Inc. ("RayzeBio"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bristol-Myers Squibb, regarding the new therapeutic and diagnostic agent OncoACP3. The signing of this contract generated revenues for the year 2025 amounting to approximately €300,000 thousand.
Furthermore, the increase in revenue is also attributable to the progress of research and development projects related to the agreement entered into with Sun Pharma, as well as to the progress of contract manufacturing orders that the Group companies are developing.
The Group does not yet have products on the market; therefore, revenues are not yet tied to stable sales. In accordance with the Group's business model, which operates in the biotech sector, the income statement reflects upfront payments, milestones, and the progress of collaboration agreements with third parties.
Other income amounted to €5,796 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025, showing an increase of approximately 58.5% compared to the previous year. This change is primarily attributable to the contribution to operating income related to the research and development tax credit for pharmaceuticals, determined based on costs incurred in 2025 for this purpose.
Operating costs primarily include costs for production materials, costs for clinical and preclinical services, personnel costs, and other operating costs, and show an increase of approximately 62.3% compared to the previous fiscal year. This increase is primarily attributable to the rise in:
(i) costs for services ranging from €16,483,000 in 2024 to €34,262,000 in 2025. In particular, there are significant increases in cost items related to the clinical trial phase of drugs, particularly in the U.S., legal and negotiation
Phylogen
consulting fees related to the RayzeBio contract, and the pro forma accounting treatment of the "stock grant" incentive plan for executive directors.
(ii) Personnel costs, which range from €15,623 thousand to €17,885 thousand in 2025 due to new hires of qualified personnel and the valuation of incentive plans for employees.
For further details, please refer to Note 6 of the consolidated financial statements and Note 6 of the separate financial statements.
EBITDA increased from €41,618 thousand to €261,633 thousand, representing an increase of €220,014 thousand.
Depreciation and amortization increased by approximately 9.5% due to the full utilization of machinery and equipment acquired in the previous fiscal year, capital expenditures made during 2025, and the amortization of improvements to third-party property related to the building housing the new offices, which was completed in 2024.
EBIT, calculated as the difference between EBITDA and depreciation and amortization, shows a positive balance of €257,377 thousand for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
Net financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, show a net gain of €2,736 thousand, resulting from the difference between financial income of €10,901 thousand and financial expenses of €8,164 thousand. The net result is primarily attributable to the following items of financial income and expenses: (i) net gains from the fair value measurement of financial assets amounting to €1,060 thousand, (ii) proceeds from the disposal of financial assets amounting to €3,474 thousand, (iii) foreign exchange gains of €4,979 thousand, (iv) interest income of €1,388 thousand, (v) realized capital losses of €17 thousand and valuation losses of €453 thousand, (vi) foreign exchange losses of €7,322 thousand, and (vii) interest expense on leases of €330 thousand. Currency management, aimed at limiting foreign exchange risk, characterized the second half of 2025 and the first months of 2026. The collection of the $350 million upfront payment from the RayzeBio contract was progressively converted into euros by taking advantage of favorable currency fluctuations.
For further details regarding financial management, please refer to Note 7 of the consolidated financial statements and Note 7 of the separate financial statements.
It should be noted that the Group invests excess liquidity, relative to ordinary needs, in readily marketable financial instruments, in accordance with the "Policy for the Management of Financial Investments" approved and periodically updated by the Board of Directors. The total value of the financial investment portfolio as of December 31, 2025, is €252,023 thousand, and the total operating result for the 2025 fiscal year is positive by €4,224 thousand, consisting of realized gains and losses and fair value changes (recognized in accordance with IFRS, partly in the income statement under financial income and expenses for a total of €4,063 thousand and partly in the FVOCI equity reserve for €161 thousand).
For further details regarding current financial assets, please refer to Note 17 of the consolidated financial statements and Note 19 of the separate financial statements.
Taxes, amounting to €30,432 thousand, represent the net balance between current taxes and deferred tax assets. Current taxes, amounting to €30,988 thousand, relate to the net income for the year recorded by the subsidiary Philochem AG.
As a result of the above, the Group closed the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, with a net profit of €229,676 thousand.

For clarity, the reconciliation between the items shown in the Net Financial Debt table and the Balance Sheet is provided below:
- "Cash and cash equivalents" (A) are classified under the item "Cash and cash equivalents";
- "Cash equivalents" (B) are classified under the item "Cash and cash equivalents";
- "Other current financial assets" (C) are classified under the item "Other current financial assets";
- "Current financial debt" (E) is classified under "Current financial liabilities";
- "Current portion of non-current financial debt" (F) is classified under the items "Current financial liabilities" and "Current lease liabilities";
- "Non-current financial debt" (I) is classified under the items "Non-current financial liabilities" and "Non-current lease liabilities."
Net Financial Debt as of December 31, 2025 shows a financial surplus of €368,295 thousand, composed as follows:
- Cash and cash equivalents (D) amounted to €379,223 thousand, an increase of approximately 233% compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. This significant change in liquidity is primarily attributable to the positive balance between inflows and outflows of some of the most significant items, which relate to: (i) cash receipts from revenue from contracts with customers of approximately €313,505, (ii) cash receipts from net financial income of €5,314 thousand, (iii) expenditures for CAPEX investments amounting to €2,790 thousand, (iv) expenditures for procurement and operating costs of €48,691 thousand.
- Current and non-current financial debt (G+L) of €10,927 thousand is entirely represented by debt related to the right-of-use of properties (IFRS 16). It should be noted that during 2025, ISTAT adjustments were made to property lease payments, which were affected by the inflation rate for the period. The decrease in this item compared to December 31, 2024, is related to the depreciation of leased assets.
For further information, please refer to Note 12 of the consolidated financial statements and Note 13 of the separate financial statements.
5.3 Alternative Performance Indicators
In order to assess the Group's performance, management monitors, among other things, Alternative Performance Indicators (APIs) relating to equity and financial performance.
For a proper interpretation of these APIs, please note the following:
- APIs are derived from historical data and are not indicative of the Group's future performance;
- APIs are not measures whose determination is regulated by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS);
- APIs should not be considered a substitute for the indicators required by the applicable accounting standards (IFRS);
- these APIs should be read in conjunction with the Group's financial information taken from the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025;
- the definitions of the APIs used by the Group, as they do not derive from the applicable accounting standards, may not be consistent with those adopted by other groups and therefore may not be comparable to them.
The following are the Alternative Economic Performance Indicators identified by the Group:
| Data in thousands of euros and as a percentage | Fiscal year ended December 31 | |
|---|---|---|

(*) EBITDA represents operating profit 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 under IFRS; therefore, it should not be considered an alternative measure for the evaluation of the Group's operating performance. Since EBITDA is not a measure whose calculation is regulated by the accounting standards applicable to the preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements, the method used to calculate EBITDA may not be consistent with that adopted by other groups, and therefore may not be comparable.

7. Organization, Management, and Control Model pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001 and Whistleblowing Procedure
Philogen S.p.A., in order to clearly and transparently define the set of values that guide it in achieving its institutional objectives, has adopted, effective 2020, an Organization, Management, and Control Model pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001, which has been updated over time to reflect changes in applicable legislation ("Model").
In particular, during 2025, the Company continued to monitor any legislative changes as well as modifications to the corporate governance structure adopted by the Company following its listing, in order to promptly incorporate them into the Model.
The current versions of the Organizational Model ("General Section") and the Code of Ethics are available on the Company's website (http://www.philogen.com/) in the Governance section (codice-etico-e-modello-231).
The Company has implemented a review process of its Organizational Model, with the support and under the supervision of the Supervisory Body, to verify its adequacy following recent regulatory updates.
8. Information on corporate governance and ownership structure
Philogen S.p.A. adheres to the Corporate Governance Code for listed Italian companies, adapting it to its specific characteristics.
In order to meet the transparency obligations set forth by sector regulations, the "Report on Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure" required by Article 123-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance has been prepared, containing a general description of the governance system adopted by Philogen S.p.A. In addition to information on ownership structures, the organizational model adopted pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 231 of 2001, and the degree of compliance
with 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—are also provided.
In particular, the aforementioned “Report on Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure” details the most significant events that characterized corporate management during 2025, including the renewal of the Board of Directors and its committees (see the section “Appointment of the Board of Directors and Board Committees”), the subsequent appointment of Mr. Duccio Neri, Prof. Dario Neri, and Mr. Giovanni Neri as Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer, and Managing Director, respectively, and the subsequent revision of the powers delegated to the aforementioned executive directors, as well as the assessments made by the Board of Directors regarding the “Committee Recommendations for 2025” contained in the letter sent to the Company by the Chairman of the Corporate Governance Committee on the occasion of the Board of Directors’ meeting of January 29, 2026.
This document is available on the Company’s website at www.philogen.com.
9. Risk Assessment
In accordance with industry regulations, applicable laws, and the Corporate Governance Code established by Borsa Italiana, the Group has implemented an Internal Control and Risk Management System (SCIGR), a set of “tools” (guidelines, procedures, etc.) designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of operational efficiency and effectiveness objectives, the reliability of financial and management information, compliance with laws and regulations, and the safeguarding of corporate assets.
The Group has adopted a Corporate Governance model whose main functions and the bodies involved in audit activities or recipients of the results thereof are:
- The Board of Directors, which is responsible for setting policy and assessing the adequacy of the system, has designated an Executive Director from among its members to oversee the functioning of the SCIGR. Specifically, at its meeting on November 11, 2025, the Board of Directors gave a positive assessment of the adequacy of the organizational, administrative, and accounting structure;
- Board of Statutory Auditors, which monitors the effectiveness of the SCIGR;
- Risk Control Committee, tasked with supporting, through appropriate preliminary investigations, the Board of Directors’ assessments and decisions regarding the internal control and risk management system, as well as those related to the approval of periodic financial reports;
- The Manager Responsible for the Preparation of Corporate Accounting Documents, who oversees the adequacy and effective application of proper accounting procedures;
- Internal Audit, a function responsible for verifying that the SCIGR is operational and adequate;
- Single-member Supervisory Body, tasked with verifying the efficiency and effectiveness of the Organizational and Control Model (and, where necessary, modifying and supplementing said Model) with respect to the prevention and commission of the offenses provided for by Legislative Decree 231/2001;
- Department Heads, responsible for overseeing the proper application of company procedures.
Toward the end of 2024, the process of defining the new three-year audit plan for the period 2025–2027 was initiated. The update of the Risk Assessment process aims to renew the tools in use, aligning them with business evolution and integrating key ESG factors. The Audit Plan for the 2025–2027 period was submitted for approval to the Board of Directors on March 27, 2025.
The adequacy of the risk mapping and, consequently, of the related Audit Plan is constantly monitored by the Company, which is supported in this activity by the Internal Audit function. During 2025, the Internal Audit function undertook the verification activities provided for in the 2025–2027 Audit Plan, in accordance with the procedures, methodologies, and audit techniques specified therein.
Specifically, the following risks were audited as provided for in the audit plan: "Human Resources Management" and "Procurement and Supplier Management." Upon completion of the audit for each area, the Internal Audit function submitted a specific Audit Report to the Company containing a summary of the activities performed and any observations and/or recommendations addressed to the Company.
10. Management and Coordination Activities
Pursuant to paragraph 5 of Article 2497-bis of the Italian Civil Code, it is hereby disclosed that the Group is not subject to management and coordination by other companies.
11. Branch Offices
The company has the following branch offices:
- Monteriggioni (SI) Local Unit – Via Montarioso No. 11, ZIP Code 53035;
- Sovicille (SI) branch – Località Bellaria No. 35; ZIP Code 53018.
It is also noted that a local unit was opened at Via Privata Maria Teresa 7, Milan (MI), 20123 on December 17, 2025.
12. Key Risks and Uncertainties
The information specifically required by Article 2428 of the Italian Civil Code is analyzed in greater detail below.
The mapping and management of business risks is an activity carried out continuously by the Group to assess, in terms of probability and impact, all aspects that, in any way, may hinder the achievement of corporate objectives. Business risks are categorized as operational, if related to business processes and activities, and financial, if related to the financial area.
12.1 Strategic and Operational Risks
Risks related to dependence on senior executives, key personnel, and specialized staff
Given the specialized nature of its activities, the Group relies significantly on qualified management and other key scientific personnel, for whom it faces intense competition and whom it must recruit 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 potential loss of key personnel or the inability to attract and retain additional qualified personnel could have negative effects on the development and commercialization of candidate products. The occurrence of such risks could have serious negative effects on the Group's economic, financial, and financial position.
Risks related to the conduct of research, clinical and preclinical studies, and production
The Group's strategy is focused on the commercialization of pharmaceutical products that are still in the experimental phase, only two of which are in a more advanced stage of development. There are significant uncertainties regarding the success of the experimental phase and the Group's ability to obtain marketing authorizations from the relevant regulatory authorities. Furthermore, the products may fail to meet market expectations in terms of efficacy and safety, and therefore no revenue may be generated from their marketing. Should the Group be unable to market the products and license its product candidates, or should other competing products be preferred by the market over those of the Group, this would result in serious adverse effects on the Group's economic, financial, and equity position.
Phylogen
Risks related to the protection of intellectual property rights and reliance on trade secrets
The Group's commercial success will also depend on its ability to protect its intellectual or industrial property rights, including potential ones (such as processes and the use of the products themselves), in the European Union, the United States of America, Japan, and other countries. If the Group's efforts to protect its exclusive rights and intellectual property were insufficient, competitors could exploit the Group's technologies to create competing products, erode its competitive advantage, and capture all or part of its market share. The occurrence of such risks could have significant negative effects on the Group's economic, financial, and financial position.
Risks related to changes in and non-compliance with industry regulations
In conducting clinical trials of compounds, the Group must comply with applicable national and international regulations, including, in particular, the guidelines for Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and Good Clinical Practice (GCP). Any changes to the current regulatory framework could result in delays in the production of the compounds and/or their clinical trials and an increase in costs, with consequent negative effects on the Group's economic, financial, and equity position.
Risks Related to Information Systems
IT systems are exposed to the risk of failures and/or malfunctions of the IT network, data security breaches, the risk of viruses, unauthorized access, as well as natural events that could result in data loss or the dissemination/disclosure of confidential and/or proprietary information, with potential negative effects on the Group's operations and its growth and development prospects. Philogen ensures the security of data, sensitive information, and intellectual property by managing the entire cycle, which includes threat detection and the definition of countermeasures in response to attacks. The Group's cybersecurity system includes specific organizational controls—in compliance with regulations and relevant standards—which entail the adoption of specific requirements and timelines regarding the reporting of incidents and/or data breaches, as well as the ongoing training of personnel and operational tools. For the sake of completeness, it should be noted that on April 13, 2025, the Company was classified as a "significant entity" by the National Cybersecurity Agency (ACN).
Financial risks and risks related to changes in the fair value of the securities portfolio
Financial risks refer to risks arising from the holding or trading of financial instruments. The Company invests by diligently following a financial investment policy approved by the Board of Directors, which is constantly monitored and updated. The policy is based on selecting financial investments that are easily liquidated and predominantly have a low-risk profile. The Group is subject to the risk of changes in the fair value of financial instruments held in its portfolio, whose value as of December 31, 2025, amounts to €252,023 thousand. The occurrence of such risk could have significant negative effects on the Group's economic, financial, and equity position. Detailed tables of financial risks are presented in Note 28 of the consolidated financial statements and in Note 30 of the separate financial statements.
Foreign exchange risk
The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk in connection with sales, purchases, receivables, and loans denominated in a currency other than the Group's functional currency. The Group's production activities are limited to Italy and Switzerland; therefore, the Group is exposed to fluctuations between the euro and the Swiss franc. The reference currency for the purposes of the Group's consolidation is the euro. Philogen is subject to foreign exchange risk arising from the translation of the financial statements of its Swiss subsidiary Philochem AG, which affects consolidated net income and consolidated equity (translation risk). Finally, starting in 2025, following the signing of the agreement with RayzeBio, the Group is exposed to exchange rate risk between the Euro and the U.S. dollar ( ) arising from the receipt of the upfront payment and subsequent contractually agreed milestones in U.S. dollars. For further details on financial risks, please refer to Note 28 of the consolidated financial statements and Note 30 of the annual financial statements.
Risks related to existing lease agreements
As part of the management of leased properties, the Company constantly monitors rental risk, namely the risk arising from the possibility that leased properties may undergo changes in rent or in the duration of leases as originally agreed upon contractually (renewal could occur under less favorable terms than in previous years) or in the costs associated with managing the leased spaces, or difficulties, in the event of non-renewal of lease agreements, in finding additional spaces and/or properties in which to conduct its business.

13. Environmental and Occupational Safety Disclosure
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 (GMMs). Staff undergo specific training on the subject and operate according to procedures designed to minimize the risks of contamination, not only biological.
The disposal of special waste is carried out in accordance with current regulations (Legislative Decree 152/06), following dedicated procedures, with the support of a specialized and authorized company.
In accordance with 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 provided for all employees, divided into general and specific training courses, which employees attend according to a schedule specified by applicable industry regulations.
In the course of its operations, the Company uses chemical and biological agents for which specific risk assessments are conducted in accordance with Legislative Decree 81/2008. Personnel also use personal protective equipment (PPE) in compliance with regulations.
The Company believes it conducts its business in compliance with environmental regulations and the authorizations required by applicable laws and is constantly committed to operating in an environmentally responsible manner.
Group personnel are continuously updated and trained regarding applicable industry regulations. In particular, during the first half of 2025, training courses were once again conducted to update and increase the number of employees assigned to First Aid, in line with the growth in the workforce. This course was enhanced with an optional module covering specific training on the use of a defibrillator, a life-saving device increasingly recommended in companies. In addition, refresher training was conducted for RLS representatives, and training and refresher courses were held for managers and supervisors; training courses were also completed for work at heights, confined spaces, electrical work (PES-PAV-PEI), and third-level boiler operators.
During the second half of 2025, the Company further strengthened its occupational health and safety measures by training additional personnel in fire emergency response and evacuation, in accordance with current regulations and the company's emergency management plan. This initiative increased the number of qualified and formally designated personnel, ensuring greater organizational coverage across various sites and shifts, as well as more effective management of potential risk situations. The training covered both theoretical aspects (relevant regulations, internal procedures, roles, and responsibilities) and practical exercises, with particular attention to alarm activation procedures, coordination of evacuation operations, and the use of firefighting equipment.
This initiative is part of the Company's broader program of continuous training and prevention, aimed at strengthening a safety culture and reducing exposure to operational risks, thereby contributing to the maintenance of high standards of compliance and the protection of people.
Finally, it should be noted that no fines or definitive penalties have ever been imposed on the company for environmental crimes or damage.
14. Environmental Responsibility and Climate Change
The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) highlights the importance for the Company to consider key climate risks and impacts when preparing financial statements.
Phylogen
innovating targeting
Financial Report as of December 31, 2025
In this regard, ESMA notes that investors are increasingly interested in information regarding the impacts that climate-related issues may have on companies, especially in light of international and European commitments such as the 2015 Paris Agreement and the European Climate Law (Regulation (EU) 2021/1119 of June 30, 2021).
In light of international and European commitments, such as the 2015 Paris Agreement and the European Climate Law, as well as numerous regulatory interventions in recent years, the Company recognizes the importance of combating climate change and is committed to making a positive contribution to environmental protection through the development of strategies and initiatives aimed at minimizing the environmental impacts associated with its business operations.
In this context, the Group's production facilities operate in compliance with applicable environmental regulations and the authorizations to which they are subject, specifically:
- the Montarioso (Siena) site holds an AUA (Single Environmental Authorization) discharge permit issued by the Municipality of Monteriggioni (Siena), which is set to expire in 2032;
- the Rosia (Siena) site holds an AUA (Single Environmental Authorization) discharge permit issued by the Municipality of Sovicille (Siena), which is set to expire in 2030;
- With regard to the laboratories in Switzerland, Philochem ensures compliance with the "CFSL Directive," which governs the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of laboratories that use chemicals or flammable and hazardous substances to ensure they are efficient and safe. The company ensures the uniform, appropriate, and technically up-to-date application of relevant legal provisions, including the "Federal Environmental Protection Act."
These regulations, applied at the two sites (Montarioso and Rosia), govern, among other things, the release of emissions into the air and the storage and disposal of hazardous waste.
The Group is committed to protecting and safeguarding the environment through continuous improvement in energy efficiency and by promoting the use of renewable sources. The first step toward reducing energy consumption from nonrenewable sources is undoubtedly the reduction of electricity consumption.
At the GMP plant in Rosia, two new photovoltaic systems have come online, helping to increase the supply of energy from renewable sources. This initiative is part of a broader commitment to environmental sustainability, which also includes the adoption of innovative and responsible practices within the supply chain, with the aim of reducing the overall environmental impact and promoting a more efficient production model that respects the local environment.
As evidence of this commitment, among the measures aimed at improving the energy efficiency of processes, the Group has focused on replacing obsolete machinery with more modern equipment in numerous facilities, contributing to a reduction in overall energy consumption. In recent years, Phylogen has invested in advanced technologies and innovative practices to optimize energy consumption within its three facilities.
With regard to water resources, the production of injectable solutions requires the use of machinery to treat water drawn from the municipal water supply to make it suitable for medical use. During the commissioning phase of the Rosia plant, the Group installed only state-of-the-art treatment systems, which ensure significantly lower energy consumption compared to older systems.
For an organization like the Group, involved in the biopharmaceutical research sector and the production of experimental drugs, attention to and proper management of the waste produced is also of fundamental importance. Phylogen produces both ordinary municipal waste, which is disposed of through separate collection, and special waste, which is collected by specialized companies. For the former, the separate collection system at the Montarioso site, operated by a specialized company, ensures the proper disposal of all municipal waste. A separate collection system for ordinary waste has also been completed at the Rosia plant. Special waste generated by the laboratories is stored in a dedicated warehouse, collected in containers approved for medical waste, and disposed of by a specialized company in accordance with legal requirements.
Philogen relies on a company certified under ISO 14001 for the activities of "Collection and transport of special waste, Brokerage, Disposal and Asbestos Remediation, Environmental Consulting" and listed among the organizations registered under EC Regulation No. 1221/2009. Liquid waste generated by the production process, on the other hand, is channeled through a wastewater collection system and then collected in a dedicated storage tank. Subsequently, it is also disposed of by a specialized company in accordance with current regulations.

The Group reaffirms its ongoing commitment to promoting gender equality and the principles of diversity and inclusion. Currently, approximately 55–60% of the workforce consists of female employees, and staff members represent over 15 nationalities, reflecting a multicultural, open, and inclusive work environment.
The composition of the top management reflects a gender balance that has distinguished the Group since before its initial public offering. Key appointments include:
- the Chief Financial Officer (2007);
- the Head of Human Resources (2008);
- the Company Legal Counsel (2016).
In more recent years, these roles have been joined by:
Management Report
- a Deputy Chief Medical Officer (2022);
- a Qualified Person for the Rosia site;
- three executives hired in the first half of 2025 in the Clinical Operations department.
Since 2016, Philogen has also had a female representative on the Board of Directors, beginning with the appointment of Dr. Nathalie Dompé. Subsequently, following the IPO, Marta Bavasso, Esq., and Dr. Maria Giovanna Calloni joined the Board of Directors (her term ended in May 2025). During the most recent Board renewal, Flavia Scarpellini, Esq., Prof. Chiara Falciani, and Dr. Patrizia Sacchi were also appointed.
In the field of research as well, key leadership roles are held by women: Prof. Cornelia Halin is a member of the Scientific Advisory Committee, and the antibody research division has been led by a female scientist for years.
In accordance with current regulations, Philogen also employs eight individuals from protected categories.
The Group does not identify any specific risks related to diversity and inclusion; on the contrary, it considers the conscious and structured management of these aspects a strategic opportunity to foster a stimulating, innovative, and collaborative work environment.
As of the date of this Report, the Company does not consider it necessary to adopt further specific policies regarding diversity, believing that the composition of the workforce, the gender balance in leadership roles, and professional development pathways are already consistent with the principles of inclusion and the promotion of diversity.

The improvement measures indicated by the regulatory authorities in the aforementioned reports are currently being implemented.
18. Outlook
The Group reports the following key industrial milestones achieved during the period:
Proprietary products
1) Antibody-based products:
- Nidlegy™ - a biopharmaceutical product designed for the treatment of skin cancers
Following the withdrawal in 2025 of the Marketing Authorization Application previously submitted to the EMA for the melanoma indication, the Company is working on preparing a new submission in Europe this year.
In the United States, a Phase III clinical trial for locally advanced melanoma is currently underway in the U.S., Spain, and Switzerland, with plans to expand to additional countries. In March 2026, a Type C meeting was held with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), during which data from the European study were presented and an agreement was reached on the regulatory pathway aimed at obtaining approval for melanoma in the United States, subject to the completion and positive outcome of the ongoing study.
In the non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) program, the Phase II "Duncan" study, conducted in patients with basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), has been completed. The excellent results in BCC were presented at the 2025 European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) conference and published in the Journal of
the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, reporting complete pathological responses in 52.6% of patients. The results for the SCC group will be published in 2026.
The Phase II "Intrinsic" study is currently underway, with a target of 70 patients with various forms of NMSC; to date, 65 patients have been treated in Italy and France.
The very positive results observed in the "Duncan" and "Intrinsic" trials have provided a solid rationale for launching three new registration studies in these indications in Europe and the United States for BCC and cSCC. The design of these studies has already been discussed with the relevant regulatory authorities, and enrollment of the first patients is expected in the second quarter of 2026.
Finally, an additional Scientific Advice session with the FDA was completed to define a fourth registration study in first-line BCC, in which the performance of Nidlegy™ will be compared with that of Hedgehog pathway inhibitors (HHIs); the study is expected to begin in mid-2026.
Fibromun - STS and Glioblastoma
Following the results of the FIBROSARC study in first-line soft tissue sarcoma, which showed encouraging signals in terms of survival in patients with liposarcoma and other types of sarcoma, we requested a Parallel Scientific Advice with the FDA and EMA to define the design of a new Phase III registration study (FIBROSARC-2). The conclusion of this process is expected in the second quarter of 2026, following which the study is scheduled to begin, with overall survival as the primary endpoint. The rationale for this program is further supported by the observation of complete remissions in patients treated with Fibromun in combination with doxorubicin.
The Phase II FLASH study in last-line soft tissue sarcoma enrolled 94 patients randomized 1:1 to receive Fibromun + dacarbazine or dacarbazine alone. The study did not meet its primary endpoint, Progression-Free Survival (PFS). Pretreated soft tissue sarcoma remains a highly aggressive disease with a significant unmet medical need. The company remains committed to advancing innovative therapeutic approaches with the goal of improving outcomes for patients with soft tissue sarcoma.
Regarding studies in glioblastoma, the Phase II GLIOSTAR clinical trial conducted in 163 second-line patients did not meet its primary objective. Despite the significant unmet medical need, this indication remains extremely challenging, as other drugs (VEGF blockers, antibody-drug conjugates, anti-PD1 antibodies) have also failed to demonstrate an increase in patient survival. However, for GLIOSTAR, an improvement in survival was observed in the subpopulation of patients not previously exposed to alkylating agents. The company remains committed to conducting the GLIOSUN clinical trial, which is being conducted in treatment-naïve (i.e., first-line) glioblastoma patients and therefore those not previously exposed to alkylating agents. GLIOSUN has completed the dose-escalation phase and is initiating the subsequent dose-expansion clinical phase. Finally, the GLIOSTELLA study, underway in patients with last-line glioblastoma, has completed patient enrollment in the United States and expects to report survival data in September 2026.
2) Small-molecule products:
OncoFAP – FAP Platform
This is a small molecule with very high affinity for fibroblast activation protein. The product is suitable for diagnostic and therapeutic applications for various solid tumors.
The diagnostic study $^{68}$Ga-OncoFAP has completed Phase I (solid tumors).
The Phase I therapeutic study $^{177}$Lu-OncoFAP-23 (solid tumors) is continuing with encouraging results.
The OncoFAP-GlyPro-MMAE conjugate has demonstrated marked antitumor activity in both preclinical studies and a Phase I veterinary clinical trial conducted at the University of Milan. A substantial reduction in disease was reported in six out of seven treated animal patients. GMP manufacturing is underway in preparation for the start of clinical trials in 2027. Additionally, a new immunotherapy candidate based on the OncoFAP ligand is showing promising signs of efficacy in a
Phase I veterinary study. These results lay the groundwork for the expansion of the future pipeline based on small molecule drug conjugates.
- OncoACP3 – PAP target (prostate)
This is a small molecule with very high affinity for the Prostatic Acid Phosphatase protein. The product is suitable for diagnostic and therapeutic applications for prostate cancer.
On the diagnostic front, Phase I with $^{68}\mathrm{Ga}$-OncoACP3 has been completed in Italy. On the therapeutic front, preparatory activities are underway with RayzeBio for Phase I (the first patient has already been treated in Germany under a compassionate use protocol [AMG 13.2b], with tumor retention of ≥7 days).
- OncoCAIX – CAIX target (kidney cancer and hypoxic tumors)
On the diagnostic front, Phase I with $^{68}\mathrm{Ga}$-OncoCAIX has been completed in Italy (20 out of 20 patients enrolled) with excellent results that have already been presented at international scientific conferences.
Preparatory activities are underway to launch a Phase III registration study directly in 2027. A Scientific Advice meeting with the FDA is scheduled to finalize the Phase III study design in Q2 2026.
Discovery and development of new prototypes
The Group’s DNA-encoded chemical libraries, containing billions of compounds, are generating highly specific ligands against targets of pharmaceutical interest, with significant biomedical and commercial potential.
- Strengthening of activities related to artificial intelligence
Following the collaboration with Google, which was the subject of a dedicated scientific publication, the Phylogen Group has expanded its artificial intelligence team to support and optimize the activities of the clinical and production departments.
These activities promise to accelerate the discovery and development of new drugs, helping to improve the Company’s operational efficiency and competitive positioning in the medium to long term.

Proposed allocation of net income as of December 31, 2025
The financial statements of Philogen S.p.A., as illustrated in this Report and the accompanying Notes, show a net income for the 2025 fiscal year of €229,680,710.49.
The Board of Directors preliminarily notes that:
- the Company's net profit for the year derives entirely from the value of the investment in the subsidiary Philochem A.G., recorded in the financial statements as of December 31, 2025, at a value of €251,622,464.33;
- pursuant to the law, given that the Company's net profit for the fiscal year as of December 31, 2025, derives from the valuation of the aforementioned equity interest using the equity method, it is necessary to establish a restricted equity reserve of equivalent value;
- the statutory reserve has exceeded the legal limit set forth in Article 2430 of the Italian Civil Code.
The Board of Directors therefore proposes to:
- allocate the current fiscal year's net profit, amounting to €229,680,710.49, to the restricted equity reserve arising from the valuation of equity investments;
- allocate to the aforementioned restricted reserve arising from the valuation of equity investments, in addition:
(i) a portion of the "Retained Earnings/(Losses)" reserve amounting to €12,463,463.35, which would thus decrease from the current €43,026,357.41 to €30,562,894.06; and
(ii) a portion of the "Share Premium" reserve amounting to €9,478,290.49, which would thus decrease from the current €92,757,689.83 to €83,279,399.34;
so that, as a result, the three provisions together reach the value of the equity valuation of the investment in the subsidiary Philochem A.G., recorded in the financial statements as of December 31, 2025, in the amount of €251,622,464.33.
In light of the foregoing, the Board of Directors further proposes the distribution of a dividend of €0.70 per share, gross of statutory withholding taxes, for each Philogen share entitled to dividends as of the ex-dividend date, net, therefore, of treasury shares held in the portfolio as of the record date pursuant to Article 83-terdecies of the Consolidated Law on Finance (the so-called record date), for an estimated total amount of €[28,180,796], to be drawn from the "Retained Earnings/(Losses)" reserve amounting to €30,562,894.06.
The estimated total amount of €28,180,796 is calculated based on the 40,258,280 shares entitled to dividends as of the date of this Report (28,890,030 ordinary shares and 11,368,250 Class B special shares), without taking into account the 352,831 treasury shares held in the portfolio, it being understood that the final total amount actually allocated to the payment of the dividend will be calculated based on the number of shares (common and Class B special shares) entitled to dividends as of the ex-dividend date.
It should be noted that, if on the ex-dividend date the Company did not hold any treasury shares and therefore the dividend were distributed to all 40,611,111 shares comprising the share capital, for a total amount of €28,427,778, the "Retained Earnings/(Losses)" reserve would remain sufficient.
The Board of Directors states that:
- the distribution of the available reserve as a dividend, as proposed in this report, represents a form of remuneration for the Shareholders' investment in the Company;
- the distribution in the amount indicated does not compromise the Company's balance sheet, financial, and economic stability;
-
the payment of the dividend through the distribution of the aforementioned reserve will be made using available cash, without the need to resort to financing;
-
the Company's statutory reserve has exceeded the legal limit set forth in Article 2430 of the Italian Civil Code.
Should the distribution of the dividend covered by the proposal set forth in this report be approved by the Shareholders' Meeting, it is proposed that the dividend be paid effective May 20, 2026, with a record date of May 19, 2026, and coupon detachment date No. 1 on May 18, 2026.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Basis of preparation
1. Introduction
Philogen S.p.A. (hereinafter the "Company") was admitted to trading on the Mercato Telematico Azionario (electronic stock market) organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. on March 3, 2021. More specifically, 4,061,111 shares were issued, corresponding to approximately 10% of the Company's share capital as of the trading commencement date, at a price of €17 per share.
Regulation (EC) No. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of July 19, 2002 (the "EU Regulation") mandated, effective from the 2005 fiscal year, that all companies with securities admitted to trading on a regulated market prepare their consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS/IFRS. In Italy, this matter was regulated by Legislative Decree No. 38 of February 28, 2005, which provided that companies exempt from the obligation under the EU Regulation had the option to prepare their separate and consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS/IFRS starting with the financial year ended December 31, 2005.
2. Entity Preparing the 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 operates primarily in the integrated biotechnology sector and, in particular, in the development of advanced biopharmaceutical products for the treatment of diseases characterized by or associated with angiogenesis, based predominantly on antibody conjugates capable of achieving selective accumulation at sites where the pathology is present.
Pursuant to paragraph 5 of Article 2497-bis of the Italian Civil Code, it is hereby disclosed that the Company is not subject to management and coordination by another company.
3. Basis of Preparation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and adopted by the European Union, including all International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) subject to interpretation and the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) and the former Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC).
These consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for publication by the Company's Board of Directors on March 27, 2026.
Details regarding the principal accounting policies adopted by the Group are provided in Note 31.
Functional and presentation currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in euros, 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 discrepancies found in certain tables are due to the rounding of amounts expressed in thousands of euros.
Use of Estimates and Judgments
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management has had to make estimates and judgments that affect the application of accounting principles and the amounts of assets, liabilities, costs, 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 presented 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.
Phylogen Group
Financial Statements
The following is a summary of the financial statement items that, more than others, require greater judgment on the part of the Directors in preparing estimates and for which a change in the conditions underlying the assumptions used could have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
i) Assessments
The decisions made by management that have the most significant impact on the amounts reported in the financial statements are provided in the following notes:
- Notes 5 and 32 - Recognition of revenue from contracts with customers: analysis of contracts with customers, with particular reference to the recognition of revenue from licensing and third-party-commissioned research and development activities at a specific point in time or over time, and the identification of individual performance obligations.
(ii) Assumptions and uncertainties in estimates
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, information regarding assumptions and uncertainties in estimates that pose a significant risk of causing material changes to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements of the subsequent period is provided in the following notes:
- Notes 5 and 32 - Revenue recognition: assumptions in determining the total cost of the performance obligation in relation to contracts with customers recognized over time;
- Note No. 32 - Valuation of financial instruments: key assumptions underlying the calculation of fair value;
- Note No. 32 - Determination of the discount rate: key assumptions regarding the calculation of the incremental borrowing rate (IBR), where the implicit interest rate is not available.
-
Notes 8 and 32 - Recognition of deferred tax assets: availability of future taxable income against which deductible temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards can be utilized.
-
Segment reporting
For the purposes of IFRS 8, management has identified a single operating segment, "Biotechnology," which encompasses all activities carried out by the Group.
The Group operates primarily in the integrated biotechnology sector and, in particular, in the development of advanced biopharmaceutical products for the treatment of diseases characterized by or associated with angiogenesis, based predominantly on antibody conjugates capable of achieving selective accumulation at sites where the pathology is present.
Details of revenue from contracts with customers by product and service type, by geographic area, and information regarding the Company's degree of dependence on its major customers are provided in Note 5.

Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenues from contracts with customers primarily relate to payments for upfront fees, milestones, and/or maintenance fees, research and development services, as well as revenues from contract manufacturing that the Group performs under existing contracts.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, revenue from contracts with customers amounted to €314,325 thousand, representing a significant increase of over €240,000 thousand compared to the previous year.
This significant increase is attributable to the licensing agreement signed in June 2025 between the subsidiary Philochem AG and RayzeBio Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bristol-Myers Squibb), which generated revenues of approximately €300,000 thousand.
It should also be noted that partnerships continue for Nidlegy™ and Fibromun with Sun Pharma (a marketing, licensing, and supply agreement involving milestones and royalties) and with Merck Sharp & Dohme (clinical collaboration in the United States). The partnership for Dekavil (Pfizer) and for small organic molecules (Bracco) also continues.
Further details on revenue from contracts with customers are provided below.

| Total other income | 5,796 | 3,657 |
Other income relates primarily to tax incentives provided for by law and, to a lesser extent, to research grants for projects co-financed by the European Union, the Tuscany Region, and Eurostars projects.

The item "capital grants" includes the Industry 4.0 capital grant related to investments made for the equipment and interconnection of the new GMP facility at the Rosia (Siena) site, as provided for by Law 160/2019 (the so-called 2020 Budget Law) and Law 178/2020 (the so-called 2021 Budget Law). The Industry 4.0 credit related to the interconnection of the new GMP facility totaled €2,586 thousand and is recognized in the amount of the depreciation expense for the period, which is €391 thousand.
Compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the "other income" line item shows an increase of approximately 58% as of December 31, 2025, primarily due to the "operating grants" line item related to the R&D tax credit for drugs and vaccines, amounting to 20% of the research and development costs incurred in 2025, with this increase compared to the previous fiscal year being attributable to the greater research activities carried out.
For further details on the credits available to the Company, please refer to Note 16 and Note 26 of the consolidated financial statements.
6. Operating Costs
The following table provides a breakdown of operating costs as of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024:
| Figures in thousands of euros | Year ended December 31 | |
|---|---|---|

Costs for purchases of raw materials and consumables
Costs for purchases of raw materials and consumables, amounting to €5,305 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025 (€3,092 thousand in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024), are primarily attributable to the cost of materials used in operations, the variation of which is linked to the production of drugs for clinical trials, GMP manufacturing required for clinical trials of the proprietary pipeline, and contract manufacturing for third parties.
Costs for services
The "Costs for services" item includes, among others, the following categories:
| Data in thousands of euros | Year ended December 31 | |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Costs related to Clinical Centers and CROs | 9,594 | 7,739 |
| Outsourced services for research and development activities | 3,420 | 2,192 |
| Compensation for corporate officers (net of contributions) | 2,178 | 1,527 |
| Incentive plans for directors* | 3,472 | - |
| Social security contributions on compensation for corporate bodies | 137 | 79 |

| TFM for directors | 108 | 69 |
| Consulting fees | 11,007 | 709 |
| Utilities and general expenses | 1,733 | 1,675 |
| Other service costs | 1,891 | 1,904 |
| Total service costs | 34,262 | 16,483 |
*Please note that, as of now, this item does not include €1,959 thousand relating to the portion of costs attributable to 2025, set aside for the current Executive Directors who, as of the date of the Units' grant, were employees of the Company. This amount is, however, still included in the costs for Cycle III of the 2024–2027 Stock Grant Plan, together with the costs for other employee beneficiaries, and is reported under the item 'Personnel costs.' The total costs attributable to 2025 for the Directors' Incentive Plan therefore amount to €5,431 thousand.
Service costs consist primarily of costs related to the Group's operating activities, namely costs incurred for clinical trials at clinical centers and costs related to outsourced research and development services. The most significant changes are:
(i) The increase in costs related to clinical centers and CROs, amounting to €1,855 thousand, is attributable to higher costs incurred in the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the previous period, due to the progress of ongoing trials;
(ii) The increase in the item "outsourced R&D services" amounting to €1,228 thousand is primarily attributable to the GMP production of small organic molecules by the subsidiary and, to a lesser extent, to activities related to GMP contracts for third-party production;
(iii) The increase in the item "Director Incentive Plans," amounting to €3,472 thousand, relates to the provision for costs associated with the new cycle of the 2024–2027 Stock Grant Plan for directors;
(iv) The increase in MBO, linked to the compensation of executive directors, rose by €133 thousand compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, following the increase in compensation approved in May 2025 for the new powers granted to executive directors. The calculation percentage for short-term incentives was also increased.
(v) The increase in corporate and consulting expenses amounts to €10,298 thousand and is primarily related to legal, patent, and tax consulting fees incurred by the group during the reporting period.
Costs for the use of third-party assets
Rental expenses amounted to €573 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025. This item includes rental expenses, exclusively relating to leases with a term of less than twelve months and those of a minor amount (excluded from the scope of IFRS 16), as well as variable payments linked to incidental expenses calculated on an actual basis, which are also not included in the calculation of the financial liability and the related right-of-use asset under IFRS 16. Specifically, given the increase in staff during the reporting period, there was a rise in costs for the use of third-party assets, attributable to higher costs incurred for new corporate software/license agreements with a duration of less than one year.
Personnel Costs
The following table details the composition of the Group's personnel costs for the years ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024:
| Figures in thousands of euros | Year ended December 31 | |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Wages and Salaries | 12,021 | 9,779 |
| Personnel costs for group incentive plans(*) | 2,429 | 3,062 |
| Social security contributions | 2,713 | 2,234 |
| MBO costs - Executives | 106 | - |
| Provision for severance pay | 617 | 548 |
| Total personnel costs | 17,885 | 15,623 |
*Please note that, as of now, this item includes €1,959 thousand relating to the portion of costs attributable to 2025 for the Third Cycle of the 2024-2027 Stock Grant Plan, set aside for the current Executive Directors who, as of the date of the Units' grant, were employees of the Company.
The overall increase in personnel costs, amounting to €2,262 thousand, is primarily attributable to the rise in the average number of employees, as shown in the table below, as well as to higher costs associated with group incentive plans, which are provisioned based on the fair value resulting from actuarial valuations of the plan. This amount includes the portion of the third cycle of the 2024-2026 stock grant plan and the valuation of the first and second cycles of the new 2027-2029 stock grant plan reserved for employees. Finally, it should be noted that in 2025, 38,200 shares relating to the second cycle of the 2024-2026 plan were granted to employees who met the set objectives, using treasury shares purchased by the company in the preceding months.
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | Change | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average number of employees | 203 | 176 | 27 |
For the exact number of employees as of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, please refer to paragraph 15 of the management report.
For further details regarding the incentive plan, please refer to paragraph 4.2 of the management report and note 27 of the consolidated financial statements.
Depreciation and Amortization

|---|---|---|
| Depreciation of right-of-use assets | 1,112 | 1,007 |
| Total depreciation and amortization | 4,256 | 3,887 |
The increase in depreciation and amortization primarily reflects the depreciation of general and site-specific equipment and facilities at the Rosia (Siena) and Montarioso sites, as well as the amortization of the right-of-use and improvements on third-party property related to the building housing the new offices, which was completed in 2024.

In addition to income from the management of the Group's securities portfolio, the statement reflects the impact of foreign exchange losses recorded upon receipt of the dollar-denominated invoice for the upfront payment under the contract with Rayzebio, which was affected by exchange rate fluctuations. It should be noted, in fact, that in September 2025 the Company collected the invoice relating to the upfront fees provided for in the contract; this collection resulted in foreign exchange losses recorded in the financial statements of the subsidiary Philochem AG linked to the fluctuation of the USD/CHF exchange rate between the invoice date and the collection date. This foreign exchange loss was recovered in the following months by the Company, which managed exchange rate fluctuations favorably through the conversion of dollar amounts into euros and Swiss francs in tranches.
For further details regarding the composition of the securities portfolio, please refer to Note 17 of the consolidated financial statements.
8. Taxes
The Group has provided for taxes based on the application of current tax regulations.
Taxes and duties have been provisioned based on estimates made during the preparation of the financial statements and will be calculated in their final form in the second half of 2026 during the preparation of the tax return, with possible subsequent adjustments to the calculation.
Current taxes refer to taxes for the period calculated on the 2025 net income. Of these taxes, €30,988 thousand relate to the profit recorded by the subsidiary Philochem AG as of December 31, 2025.
The following table provides a breakdown of income taxes recorded for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024:
| Amounts in thousands of euros | Year ended December 31 | |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Current taxes | (30,869) | (3,449) |
| Deferred taxes | 437 | 8,365 |
| Total taxes | (30,432) | 4,916 |
Reconciliation of the effective tax rate
The reconciliation between the tax expense reported in the consolidated financial statements and the theoretical tax expense calculated based on the IRES rate applicable to the Group for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, is presented below.
For further details on the tax credits available to the Group, please refer to Note 16 and Note 26 of the consolidated financial statements.
| Amounts in thousands of euros | Year ended December 31 | |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Income before taxes | 260,113 | 40,375 |
| Theoretical tax rate | 24% | 24 |
| Theoretical IRES tax expense/benefit (A) | 62,427 | 9,690 |
| Adjustments for: | ||
| Tax effect on prior-year losses | (1,913) | - |
| Tax effect on tax incentives | (1,449) | (861) |
| Tax effect on unrecognized tax losses | - | (7,232) |
| Tax effect from patent box relief | (22,504) | (1,428) |
| Tax effect on other increases (decreases) | 8,045 | 127 |
| Tax effect on the Group's different tax rates | (14,174) | 1,267 |

| Total effective income taxes (A+B) | 30,432 | 1,563 |
| Effective tax rate | 11.7% | 3.9% |
The Group's tax expense is primarily related to the taxation of the operating profit of the subsidiary Philochem AG. Under Swiss law, the maximum applicable tax rate is 19%. The application of certain local tax incentives is currently being
evaluated, which could reduce the tax burden to as low as 14%. The Group, with the assistance of a leading consulting firm, has estimated the impact of Swiss taxes and duties over the 12 months of 2025.
Changes in deferred taxes during the period
The following details and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities from January 1 to December 31, 2024, and from January 1 to December 31, 2025, are provided below; these balances arise from the transition to IAS/IFRS accounting standards, as well as from prior-year tax losses:

Uncertainties regarding the accounting treatment to be applied to taxes
It should be noted that as of December 31, 2025, there are no ongoing disputes with tax authorities that could give rise to uncertainties regarding the treatment of income taxes. Regarding the tax audit initiated by the Italian Revenue Agency in March 2025, please refer to Note 4.7 "Relations with the Italian Revenue Agency."
9. Earnings/(Loss) per Share
Basic earnings per share were calculated based on the profit attributable to holders of common shares and the weighted average number of the Company's common shares outstanding during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024.
Diluted earnings per share were calculated by considering the profit attributable to holders of common stock and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period to account for the effects of all potential common shares with dilutive effect.
The following table presents the income and share information used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share:
| Figures in thousands of euros
Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share | Year ended December 31 | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| | 2025 | 2024 |
| Net income (loss) for the year – in thousands of euros (A) | 229,681 | 45,292 |
| Weighted average number of common shares outstanding (B) | 40,275,017 | 40,293,635 |
| Weighted average number of potential dilutive common shares outstanding (C) | - | - |
| Weighted average number of outstanding stock options granted (D) | - | - |
| Weighted average number of shares outstanding, adjusted for dilutive effects (E=B+C+D) | 40,275,017 | 40,293,635 |
| Basic earnings (loss) per share – in euros (A/B1000) | 5.70 | 1.12 |
| Diluted earnings (loss) per share – in Euro (A/C100) | 5.70 | 1.12 |
(A) Net income (loss) for the year.
(B) Weighted average number of outstanding common shares
(D) The weighted average number of outstanding stock options potentially equal to 1,464,000 Units as of December 31, 2024, and 1,648,500 Units as of December 31, 2025, was considered to be 0 for the purposes of the calculation, since, in accordance with IAS 33, as of the end of the reporting period, these instruments did not meet the necessary criteria for issuance. For further information, please refer to Note 27 of the consolidated financial statements.

Plant and machinery show an increase of €225 thousand and primarily relate to the fitting out of laboratories and the alarm and UPS systems at the production sites instrumental to operations at the Rosia site. Furthermore, during 2025, expenses related to the revamping of the Montarioso facility and, to a lesser extent, those incurred for photovoltaic panels were reclassified under this item.
Industrial and commercial equipment shows an increase of €1,703 thousand and primarily includes the purchase cost incurred for laboratory equipment and machinery to further equip the Rosia (Siena) production unit.
Leasehold improvements, an item comprising expenses incurred for the construction of the office building at the Rosia (Siena) site, show an increase of €222 thousand, primarily attributable to expenses incurred for the creation of an open-plan office and a cafeteria in the Rosia building and, to a lesser extent, to expenses incurred for the refurbishment of the archive of the Clinical Department (Rosia). From an accounting perspective, these improvements to third-party property are amortized over the entire term of the lease agreement for the asset to which they relate. In this specific case, the useful life was estimated by assuming a tacit renewal of the current lease agreement for the Rosia site, in accordance with the provisions of International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 16, and therefore the amortization process will be completed in fiscal year 2034. Please refer to the accounting policies section for specific details regarding IAS 16 and IFRS 16.
Finally, this item includes, for €350 thousand, the capitalization of the structure housing the photovoltaic panels.
Other tangible assets primarily consist of company vehicles and furniture and fixtures. Company vehicles are partly made available for mixed use by employees, partly assigned to certain members of the Board of Directors, and partly made available to company staff.
The property and land, on the other hand, refer to the building adjacent to the Company's Philogen plant in Montarioso (Siena), which was purchased in August 2023 and is intended for a future expansion of the Company. In accordance with IAS 16, this asset has not been depreciated because it does not currently meet the conditions necessary for it to function as intended by management.
11. Intangible Assets
The following table shows the changes in intangible assets from January 1 to December 31, 2024, and from January 1 to December 31, 2025:
| Figures in thousands of euros | Patent rights and rights to use intellectual property | Concessions, licenses, trademarks, and similar rights | Intangible assets in progress and prepayments | Other intangible assets | Total |

As of December 31, 2025, the Group holds approximately 40 international patent families and over 100 valid national patents. The increases recorded in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, amounting to €200 thousand, relate to expenses incurred by the Group for the filing of new patent applications, their nationalization, and the granting of patents in specific countries around the world.
Concessions, licenses, and trademarks primarily include the cost of corporate software licenses. The increases recorded in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, amounting to €42 thousand, mainly consist of costs incurred for warehouse management software.
It should also be noted that there are no assets with an indefinite useful life, goodwill, or intangible assets not yet in use.
12. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities
The main balance sheet information regarding lease agreements held by the Group, which acts exclusively as a lessee, is presented in the following tables:
| Figures in thousands of euros | Real estate | Vehicles | IT services | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Historical cost | 13,322 | 246 | 329 | 13,897 |
| Accumulated Depreciation | (3,525) | (139) | (270) | (3,933) |

| Book value as of December 31, 2025 | 8,552 | 125 | 142 | 8,820 |
Right-of-use assets for the year ended December 31, 2025, are primarily attributable to the lease of properties used by the Group for the management of its operating activities. The increases recognized during the 2025 fiscal year, amounting to €498 thousand, relate to contractually stipulated ISTAT adjustments to the lease payments, which were affected by the inflation rate for the period. It should be noted that these contracts were entered into in 2019 following the Group's functional and structural reorganization, through which the real estate division was separated from the operating division. These contracts run through 2034 and collectively generate an annual cash outflow for rent of approximately €1,483 thousand, of which €1,011 thousand is for Italian sites and €472 thousand for the Swiss site.
The following table shows the changes in financial liabilities arising from leases from January 1 to December 31, 2024, and from January 1 to December 31, 2025:
| Amounts in thousands of euros | |
|---|---|
| Lease liabilities as of January 1, 2024 | 12,099 |
| Increases | 497 |

| Principal repayments | (1,153) |
| Foreign exchange effect | 77 |
| Lease liabilities as of December 31, 2025 | 10,883 |
| Of which current | 1,164 |
| Of which non-current | 9,719 |
The following table presents the reconciliation of cash outflows related to leases for the periods ended December 31, 2025, and 2024:
| Amounts in thousands of euros | Year ended December 31 | |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Principal portion of property leases | 948 | 880 |
| Interest expense on leases (real estate) | 322 | 335 |
| Principal portion of car loans | 47 | 27 |
| Interest expense on leases (passenger cars) | 3 | 2 |
| Principal portion of IT services | 157 | 86 |
| Interest expense on leases (IT services) | 7 | 4 |
| Total cash outflows from leases | 1,484 | 1,332 |
It should be noted that, for the purpose of determining lease liabilities and the related right-of-use assets, the Group applied:
i. for leases relating to real estate, vehicles, and IT services leased to the Parent Company, a discount rate of 2.73%;
ii. for the lease relating to the property leased to the Swiss subsidiary Philochem AG, a discount rate of 3.10%.
As of December 31, 2025, the Group has not identified any indicators of impairment regarding right-of-use assets.
Impairment test
We note that, as of December 31, 2025, no factors have been identified that would lead the Directors to believe that the reasons for the initial recognition of property, plant, and equipment, intangible assets, and right-of-use assets are no longer valid; nor have any further indicators of impairment emerged that would lead the Directors to believe that there may be a reduction in the value of property, plant, and equipment, intangible assets, and right-of-use assets; consequently, it was not necessary to perform impairment tests on the carrying amount reported in the financial statements.
13. Inventories
The breakdown of inventory is as follows:
| Figures in thousands of euros | December 31 2025 | December 31 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Raw materials and supplies | 2,961 | 3,260 |
| Total inventory | 2,961 | 3,260 |
Inventories of raw materials and consumables include inventory valued at the lower of cost or market value.
As of December 31, 2025, inventories, amounting to €2,961 thousand, show a decrease primarily due to lower procurement of consumables used in the Group's operating activities.
14. Contract assets and liabilities
Assets arising from contracts relate to performance obligations fulfilled over time and are valued on a cost-to-cost basis, as they are the subject of contracts already finalized with the customer.
Contract assets are recognized as assets net of related liabilities if, based on a contract-by-contract analysis, the gross value of work performed as of the reporting date exceeds the advance payments received from customers. Conversely, if advance payments received from customers exceed the related contract assets, the excess amount is recognized as a liability.
The net balance of assets and liabilities arising from contracts is composed as follows:
Contracts with a positive net balance
| Figures in thousands of euros | December 31 2025 | December 31 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Advances received from customers | (2,081) | (1,350) |
| Revenue recognized on advance payments received | 5,018 | 4,611 |
| Contract assets with customers | 2,937 | 3,261 |
Contracts with a negative net balance
| Figures in thousands of euros | December 31 2025 | December 31 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Advance payments received from customers | 2,185 | 685 |
| Revenue recognized on advance payments received | (351) | (41) |
| Contract liabilities to customers | 1,834 | 643 |
Advances received from customers primarily relate to up-front fees collected in connection with performance obligations that the Group must fulfill in the future, which are recognized over time based on the progress of the related contract costs (revenue recognized against advances).
Contract assets and liabilities arise from the balance of the two items indicated above.
Contract liabilities with customers are classified as current liabilities because the Group expects to complete the performance obligations within the next 12 months.
15. Trade receivables
The "Trade receivables" item is composed as follows:
| Amounts in thousands of euros | December 31 2025 | December 31 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Accounts receivable | 1,269 | 760 |
| Total trade receivables | 1,269 | 760 |
As of December 31, 2025, trade receivables from customers amounted to €1,269 thousand, an increase of approximately 67% compared to December 31, 2024.
Past-due receivables are monitored by management through periodic analyses of the main positions. The estimated expected credit loss under IFRS 9 is not significant given the nature of the Group's customers, the contractual terms in place, and the collection timelines for receivables. The amount for IFRS 9 purposes is €13 thousand.
As of the date of approval of these financial statements, the remaining balance of trade receivables outstanding as of December 31, 2025, is €333 thousand.
Breakdown of receivables recorded under current assets by geographic area
The following table shows the breakdown by geographic area of receivables recorded under current assets.
| Amounts in thousands of euros | Geographic area | |
|---|---|---|
| December 31 2025 | December 31 2024 | |
| Italy | 14 | 330 |
| European Union | 1,162 | 24 |
| Outside the European Union (USA) | 80 | 56 |
| Outside the European Union (Other) | 13 | 350 |
| Total trade receivables | 1,269 | 760 |
16. Tax receivables and payables
The item "Tax receivables" is composed as follows:
| Figures in thousands of euros | December 31 2025 | December 31 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| VAT receivables | 2,953 | 2,318 |
| Other tax receivables | 4,002 | 3,023 |
| Miscellaneous tax credits | 3,440 | 4,911 |
| Total tax credits | 10,395 | 10,253 |
The item "VAT Receivables" amounts to €2,953 and shows an increase compared to the previous fiscal year due to the increase in purchases subject to VAT. It should be noted that the Company makes purchases primarily in Italy and sales primarily abroad; therefore, the VAT credit cannot currently be offset against VAT payable but is used to offset other taxes. The amount exceeding €2,000 thousand (the maximum annual offset limit) has been claimed for refund.
The item "Other tax receivables" includes IRES receivables arising from advance tax payments, foreign withholdings on the granting of license rights, and, to a lesser extent, receivables for withholdings on other income, interest income, and financial income.
The item "Miscellaneous tax credits" as of December 31, 2025, includes the portions of tax credits available to the Company that can be offset in future fiscal years. The portion of these credits extending beyond the current fiscal year is reclassified as non-current assets under the item "Other non-current assets."
The following table details the credits available as of December 31, 2025:

27. Stock-based compensation plan
On May 31, 2021, the Company's Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting approved an incentive plan pursuant to Article 114-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance (TUF) entitled "2024-2026 Stock Grant Plan" (hereinafter also the "Plan") reserved for Group employees, and granted the Board of Directors all necessary and appropriate powers to implement it.
In support of the aforementioned Plan, the Shareholders' Meeting also resolved to carry out a split-off capital increase without consideration, pursuant to Article 2349 of the Italian Civil Code, to be executed by the deadline of December 31, 2026, for a maximum of €123,974, to be allocated in full to share capital, and to establish, for the same amount, a specific reserve, drawn from the retained earnings reserve, named "Reserve of earnings restricted for capital increase in support of the 2024-2026 Stock Grant Plan," which will remain restricted for the purpose of 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 Compensation Committee, approved the regulations of the aforementioned Plan and implemented them, identifying the beneficiaries and defining the performance objectives and related targets for the first allocation cycle (2021–2024), allocating a total of 121,000 Units;
- On October 11, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors, following a positive opinion from the Nomination and Compensation Committee, identified the beneficiaries and defined the performance objectives and related targets for the second allocation cycle (2022–2025), allocating a total of 130,000 Units;
- On November 7, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors, following a favorable opinion from the Nominating and Compensation Committee, identified the beneficiaries and defined the performance objectives and related targets for the third allocation cycle (2023–2026), allocating a total of 619,000 Units.
Summary of the Regulations
The Plan is divided into three cycles (2021, 2022, and 2023), each with a three-year duration, which provide for:
- the allocation to beneficiaries of a certain number of Units (free of charge);
- the definition, at the time of allocation, of performance objectives;
- a three-year performance period;
- the allocation of shares to beneficiaries, subject to the achievement of the performance targets set for the three-year period.
The Plan provides for the allocation of up to 877,286 Units, which entitle the holders to receive, free of charge, up to 877,286 shares, corresponding to approximately $3\%$ of the current share capital, with reference solely to common shares. Beneficiaries receive the shares following the allocation approved by the Board of Directors at the end of the performance period for each cycle of the Plan.
At the end of each Performance Period, the Board of Directors will assess whether any threshold has been met and whether the performance objectives have been achieved, determining the number of shares to be allocated to each beneficiary. In particular, after verifying that any threshold has been met, the Board of Directors will evaluate the following:
a) achievement of corporate objectives: for each Cycle of the Plan, the allocation of shares is subject to the condition that the corporate objectives related to the Company's performance and/or the stock's performance—which will be identified by the Board of Directors for each beneficiary—are achieved, in whole or in part. The Board of Directors, after consulting
with the Nominating and Compensation Committee, verifies the achievement of corporate objectives at the end of the performance period for each Cycle of the Plan;
b) Achievement of individual objectives: In addition to the corporate objectives, the Board of Directors, after consulting with the Nominating and Compensation Committee, has established individual objectives for each beneficiary of the Plan based on criteria primarily focused on: (i) the development of the projects in which the individual beneficiary is involved; (ii) the achievement of results for such projects in accordance with the methods and timelines established by the Company and/or the Group; (iii) the obtaining of authorizations from the competent authorities in the biotechnology sector for the commercialization of products developed by the Company and/or the Group; (iv) the conclusion of commercial agreements with leading companies in the research and development sector in which the Company operates. The Board of Directors, after consulting with the Nominating and Compensation Committee, verifies the achievement of individual objectives at the end of the performance period for each Cycle of the Plan.
c) the existence of an employment relationship between the Company or the subsidiary and the beneficiary as of the date of share grant.
Individual performance objectives will be measured with reference to the specific three-year period of each Cycle, starting from the relevant grant date.
The Plan will terminate on the date coinciding with the date of allocation of the shares relating to the third Cycle.
Further information regarding the Plan is provided in the information document available on the Company's website at (http://www.philogen.com/).
Evaluation Criteria
The evaluation was conducted by considering the two performance objectives—corporate and personal—assigned to each beneficiary separately. Specifically, the corporate performance component (so-called "market-based") linked to the achievement of the gate and the target for 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 period considered.
With regard to individual performance objectives, based on various achievement assumptions, a probability of success estimated by the Company itself was defined.
For each option, the expected dividend yield and the annual probability of exit (representing an average value from previous years) were taken into account.
In particular, the following data were used in the fair value assessment as of the grant date:
Third grant cycle 2023-2026
| Number of rights(*) | Grant date | Expiration date | Price on the valuation date | Annual volatility | Dividend yield | Exit rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 616,000 | December 1, 2023 | November 30, 2026 | 18.250 | 27.44% | 0% | 0% |
(*) The number of shares as of December 31, 2025, is 602,000, adjusted following the annual resets of the current Stock Grant Plans to reflect changes in the probability of achieving the targets.
Overall Valuation Results
With regard to the third grant cycle, the total fair value amounts to €6,553 thousand as of December 31, 2025 (valuation year), of which €811 thousand relates to the subsidiary and €5,742 thousand relates to the Company. The portion attributable to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, amounts to €219 thousand relating to Philochem AG and €1,996 thousand relating to Philogen S.p.A.
It should be noted that during 2025, 16,000 shares were allocated to Philogen and 22,200 shares to the subsidiary Philochem AG, relating to the second cycle of the 2024-2026 Stock Grant Plan.
The 2027-2029 Stock Grant Plan is intended for Employees and Consultants who, in the sole and discretionary judgment of the Board of Directors, after consulting with the Nominating and Compensation Committee, hold a key role and thereby actively contribute to the Company's development. The Plan, like the previous one, is divided into three cycles (2024, 2025, and 2026), each with a three-year duration.
The Plan provides for the allocation of up to 600,000 Units, which entitle the holder to receive up to 600,000 Shares free of charge. Beneficiaries receive the Shares on the Grant Date provided that, during the Performance Period, they have achieved the assigned Performance Targets and the employment or consulting relationship remains in effect; for each Beneficiary, the Grant Letter specifies (i) the number of Units granted, (ii) the corporate performance target, (iii) the date from which the Performance Period will commence.

Finally, the 2024-2026 Directors' Plan is intended for the Company's Executive Directors.
The Plan provides for the allocation of up to 800,000 Units, which confer the right to receive up to 800,000 Shares free of charge. Beneficiaries receive the Shares on the Performance Delivery Date, provided they have achieved the assigned corporate performance target and their directorship continues.
If the Board of Directors (BoD) identifies a new Beneficiary, the BoD may—at its discretion—determine the number of Units to which such new Beneficiary is entitled on a pro-rata temporis basis, taking into account, in particular, the period during which the new Beneficiary participates in the Plan and, therefore, that such Beneficiary has not participated in the Plan since the start date.

28. Disclosure on Financial Risks
Within the scope of business risks, the main risks identified, monitored, and—as 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 primarily from the Group's trade receivables and debt securities. The carrying amount 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 primarily on the specific characteristics of each customer.
However, management also considers variables typical of the Group's customer portfolio, including the risk of insolvency in the sector and country in which customers operate. Contract assets have as their primary counterparties pharmaceutical companies and multinationals characterized by a low-risk profile.
Liquidity risk
This is the risk that the Group will have difficulty meeting the obligations associated with financial liabilities settled in cash or through another financial asset. The Group's approach to liquidity management ensures that, to the extent possible, there are always sufficient funds to meet its obligations upon maturity, both under normal conditions and during periods of financial stress, without incurring excessive costs or risking damage to its reputation.
The Group ensures that it holds cash on hand 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 receivables and other receivables, as well as cash outflows related to trade payables and other payables.
The following is an analysis of the maturities for trade receivables and payables and for financial liabilities as of December 31, 2025:
| Amounts in thousands of euros | December 31, 2025 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Within 90 days | 90 days to 1 year | From 1 to 5 years | Over 5 years | Total |

| Trade receivables | 1,269 | - | - | - | 1,269 |
| Total | 1,269 | - | - | - | 1,269 |
In addition, in addition to cash and cash equivalents totaling €127,200 thousand, the Group holds a portfolio of financial investments totaling €252,023 thousand as of December 31, 2025, which is readily liquidatable and can be used to meet any liquidity needs. For further information regarding the securities portfolio, please refer to Note 17 of 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 due to changes in market prices resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates, interest rates, or equity prices. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control the Group's exposure to such risk within acceptable levels while simultaneously optimizing investment returns.
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.
Production activities are limited to Italy and Switzerland; therefore, the Group is exposed to fluctuations between the euro, the Swiss franc, and the U.S. dollar, as some contracts with customers may be denominated in dollars. The reference currency is the euro; Philogen is subject to foreign exchange risk arising from the translation of the financial statements of its Swiss subsidiary Philochem AG, which affects consolidated net income and consolidated equity (translation risk). Finally, starting in 2025, following the signing of the contract with RayzeBio, the Group is exposed to exchange rate risk between the euro and the dollar, arising from the receipt of contractually agreed milestones in dollars. The Company monitors exchange rate risk in accordance with its internal policy on the matter, evaluating hedging or spot exchange transactions where deemed necessary.
During 2026, the Group continued to closely monitor the performance of the U.S. dollar and its exchange rate against the euro, taking advantage of fluctuations to manage the perceived high currency risk resulting from the receipt of the upfront payment under the contract with RayzeBio, which was received in dollars. As of the date of this report, the currency exposure is not significant.
For further details on financial risks, please refer to Note 28 of the consolidated financial statements and Note 30 of the separate financial statements.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, revenue from contracts with customers was primarily generated in U.S. dollars and accounted for approximately 95% of total revenue.

Financial Investment Risk Management
Following careful financial planning, the Group invests the portion of its cash reserves that exceeds its ordinary cash requirements in current financial assets. Investment decisions are made based on monitoring and consultations with the research departments of the banks with which the Group works. Regular updates regarding issuers' creditworthiness, country risk, and market variables are made available to the company to enable prompt corrective action.
Based on the principles described in Note 17 "Other Current Financial Assets," to which reference is made for further details, the Group has adopted an HTCS business model. Failure to pass the SPPI Test resulted in measurement at FVTPL, while passing the SPPI Test resulted in measurement at FVTOCI.

Country Risk Management
The Company does not operate in countries characterized by economic, political, or social instability such as to result in significant direct exposure to country risk. In accordance with ESMA recommendations, published on March 14, 2022, even in the absence of direct relations with Russia, Ukraine, or other markets subject to specific restrictions, the Company continues to monitor developments in the international geopolitical and macroeconomic landscape, including indirect effects related to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the sanctions regime against Russia, and geopolitical and trade tensions in the Middle East, which could impact financial markets and supply chains.
29. Disclosures on 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, 2025, and December 31, 2024.
| Amounts in thousands of euros | December 31 2025 | December 31 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Financial assets: | ||
| Financial assets measured at amortized cost | ||
| Trade receivables | 1,269 | 760 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 127,200 | 30,574 |
| Other current assets | 1,093 | 1,062 |
| Financial assets measured at fair value | ||
| Current financial assets | 252,023 | 83,154 |
| Total financial assets | 381,584 | 115,551 |
| Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost | ||
| Non-current lease liabilities | 9,719 | 10,473 |
| Current financial liabilities | 44 | 37 |

| Other current liabilities | 3,921 | 3,239 |
| Total financial liabilities | 27,880 | 24,334 |
Given the nature of short-term financial assets and liabilities, the carrying amount is considered a reasonable approximation of fair value for most of these items.
Non-current financial liabilities are settled or valued at market rates and are therefore considered to have a fair value substantially in line with their current carrying amounts.
Fair Value Disclosure
With regard to assets and liabilities recognized in the statement of financial position and measured at fair value, IFRS 13 requires that these amounts be classified according to a hierarchy of levels that reflects 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 according to the levels of the hierarchy:
| Amounts in thousands of euros | December 31, 2024 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |

Financial assets classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy refer to securities held in the portfolio relating to the bond and equity segments, as well as units of investment funds listed on regulated markets. For further details on the securities portfolio, please refer to Note 17 of the consolidated financial statements.
Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy includes current financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9, consisting of insurance investment products held by the Group to invest excess liquidity (please refer to Note 17 of the consolidated financial statements for further 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, based on the NAVs (Net Asset Values) reported by the insurance companies, which represent the surrender value of the policies as of the balance sheet date. There were no transfers between the different levels of the fair value hierarchy during the periods under review.

In this regard, following the Company's strong growth and expansion, it became necessary to reassess and review the company's areas and spaces in order to construct an office building within the area currently leased by Rendo S.r.l. to Philogen S.p.A. pursuant to the lease agreement entered into 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 commenced. The construction of the building, completed in July 2024 and fully funded by Philogen ( ), was recorded as an addition of €2,334 thousand under improvements to third-party property, in accordance with Article 1593 of the Italian Civil Code. These improvements to third-party property are amortized over the entire term of the currently existing lease agreement for the Rosia site, the duration of which remains unchanged, assuming a tacit renewal in accordance with the provisions of International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 16.

Accounting principles
- Valuation Criteria
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost method, with the exception of financial instruments, which are measured at fair value at each reporting date.
These consolidated financial statements have also been prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors' assessment of this assumption takes into account the Group's current development strategies, its financial and equity position, and the
possibility of revising the timing and structure of its development strategy, as well as its ability to secure the financial resources necessary to continue its operations, including through the licensing of certain proprietary products to third parties via out-licensing agreements.
32. Principal accounting policies
Basis of Preparation
The consolidated financial statements consist of the mandatory financial statements required by IAS 1. All statements comply with the minimum content requirements of international accounting standards and applicable regulations established by national legislation and Consob. The financial statements used are deemed adequate for the purpose of fairly presenting the Group's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows; in particular, it is believed that the income statements reclassified by nature provide reliable and relevant information for the purpose of accurately presenting the Group's financial performance. The financial statements comprising the Financial Statements are as follows:
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position
The statement is presented by distinguishing between 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 from the balance sheet date.
An asset or liability is classified as current when it meets one of the following criteria:
- it is expected to be realized or settled, or is expected to be sold or used in the Group's normal operating cycle;
- it is held primarily for trading;
- it is expected to be realized or settled within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
If none of these three conditions are met, the assets/liabilities are classified as non-current.
Consolidated Income Statement
Costs are classified by nature, highlighting the interim results relating to operating profit and profit before taxes.
Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income
The statement includes the components that constitute the result for the period and the expenses and income recognized directly in equity for transactions other than those with shareholders.
Statement of Changes in Consolidated Equity
The statement shows the changes in equity items relating to:
- allocation of the parent company's and subsidiaries' profit for the period to minority shareholders;
- amounts relating to transactions with shareholders (purchase and sale of treasury shares);
- each item of gain or loss, net of any tax effects, which, as required by IFRS, are either recognized directly in equity (gains or losses on the sale of treasury shares, actuarial gains and losses arising from the measurement of defined benefit plans) or are offset against an equity reserve (share-based payments for incentive plans);
- changes in valuation reserves for derivative instruments hedging future cash flows, net of any tax effect.
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows
The statement is presented using the indirect method, whereby net income is adjusted for the effects of non-cash transactions, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating receipts or payments, and items of revenue or expense related to cash flows arising from investing or financing activities.
Income and expenses related to interest, dividends received, and income taxes are included in cash flows based on the type of underlying transaction that generated them.
Cash and cash equivalents included in the cash flow statement comprise the balance sheet balances of this item as of the reporting date. Cash flows in foreign currencies have been converted at the average exchange rate for the period.
Cash equivalents are those held to meet short-term cash obligations, rather than for investment or other purposes. For an investment to be considered a cash equivalent, it must be readily convertible into a known amount of cash and must be subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Cash equivalents include short-term time deposits.
Consolidation Criteria
The consolidated financial statements of the Phylogen Group include the financial statements for the period of Phylogen S.p.A. and those of the subsidiary Philochem AG, a company incorporated under Swiss law in which the Parent Company holds control pursuant to Article 26 of Legislative Decree 127/91. The following provides a summary of the Group companies and the consolidation methods:
| Company Name | Registered office | % of ownership | Currency | Consolidation method |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Philogen S.p.A. | Siena – Italy | Parent company | EUR | Full |
| Philochem AG | Zurich – Switzerland | 99.998% | CHF | Integral |
Subsidiaries are those entities over which the Group exercises control, meaning that the Group is exposed to variable returns arising from its relationship with the entity, or has rights to such returns, while also having the ability to influence them by exercising its power over the entity itself. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the parent company begins to exercise control until the date such control ceases.
These financial statements are appropriately reclassified and adjusted to align them with the parent company's accounting principles and valuation criteria, in the event of significant differences. All Group companies close their fiscal year on December 31.
The carrying amount of equity investments in companies included in the consolidation is eliminated against the corresponding portions of the investees' equity, with individual assets and liabilities recognized at their fair value as of the acquisition date. Any resulting difference, if positive, is recorded as a non-current asset and, to the extent not fully absorbed, as goodwill; if negative, it is charged to the income statement.
Changes in the Group's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the loss of control are accounted for as transactions between shareholders in their capacity as shareholders.
When preparing the consolidated financial statements, the balances of intragroup transactions, as well as unrealized intragroup revenues and costs, are eliminated. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same manner as unrealized gains, to the extent that there are no indicators of impairment.
Foreign Currency
Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of each Group entity at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies at the end of the reporting period are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate in effect on that date. Non-monetary items 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 measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate in effect on the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising from translation are generally recognized in profit or loss for the period under financial expenses.
Foreign Operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from the acquisition, are translated into euros using the exchange rate in effect at the end of the reporting period. Revenues and costs of foreign operations are converted into euros using the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. Exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and included in the translation reserve, except for exchange differences attributable to minority interests. When the Group disposes of an investment in a foreign operation, in whole or in part, in such a way as to lose control, significant influence, or joint control over it, the amount accumulated in the translation reserve relating to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit/(loss) for the period to adjust the profit or loss arising from the disposal.
The exchange rates used as of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, for the translation of foreign currency financial and balance sheet items are summarized in the following table and refer to the subsidiary Philochem:
| Exchange Rates (CHF/EUR) | 2025 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Spot exchange rate as of December 31 (for conversion of assets and liabilities) | 0.93140 | 0.9412 |
| Average exchange rate for the year (for conversion of costs and revenues) | 0.93712 | 0.9526 |
Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract with the customer. The Group recognizes revenue when it transfers control of the goods or services.
IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" defines the criteria for recognizing and measuring revenue arising from contracts with customers. In general, IFRS 15 requires revenue to be recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be 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) identification of the contract with the customer;
(ii) identifying the performance obligations (i.e., the contractual promises to transfer goods and/or services to a customer);
(iii) determining 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) recognition of revenue when the related performance obligation is satisfied.
The Group's revenue derives primarily from licensing agreements and contracts for the performance of research and development services commissioned by customers.
With regard to contracts involving the granting of license rights to the Group's intellectual property, the first step is to analyze whether the granting of the license right is distinguishable from other performance obligations. The Group recognizes separate performance obligations when:
- the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or in combination with other readily available resources;
- the promise to transfer an asset or service is identifiable separately from the other promises in the contract.
If it is determined 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 performance obligation.
If, on the other hand, it is determined that the grant of the license is distinct from the promise to transfer other goods or services, the Group analyzes whether the customer obtains a right of access or a right of use of the intellectual property. The customer has a right of access to the company's intellectual property if all of the following conditions are met:
- The contract requires, or the customer expects, the Group to perform activities that have a significant impact on the intellectual property;
- Such activities, when performed, do not transfer distinct goods or services to the customer;
- The rights arising from the license expose the customer to positive or negative effects on the Group's activities related to the intellectual property.
If the granting of the license right confers a right of access to intellectual property, revenue is recognized over the term of that right ("over time"). Conversely, if the license constitutes a right to use the intellectual property, the related revenue is recognized at the time such right is granted ("at a point in time").
The following table summarizes the main fees and related payment terms covered by the Group's license agreements:
| Type of consideration | Accounting treatment |
|---|---|
| Up-front Fees | These represent fees received in advance upon the signing of the contract. If related to the granting of license rights, they are recognized: |
| — at a point in time, if they constitute rights to use intellectual property; | |
| — over time, if they constitute rights of access to intellectual property. | |
| If no specific goods or services transferred to the customer are identified at the time the up-front fee is collected, such collection constitutes an advance payment and is recognized as revenue in the future when the performance obligations are satisfied (“over time”). | |
| The Group issues an invoice for the up-front fee upon signing the contract. This invoice is typically due within 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 performance obligations, it is recognized as a right to use intellectual property, 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 other performance obligations, such payment constitutes an advance and is recognized as revenue over time as the performance obligations are satisfied. | |
| The Group issues an invoice for the commercial option fee upon receipt of the customer’s notification of their intention to exercise said option. This invoice is typically due within 30 days. The payment terms do not include any trade discounts. | |
| Milestones | These represent variable payments contingent upon the achievement of certain significant milestones in product development (e.g., the start of Phase III clinical trials). Upon signing the contract, management assesses whether the achievement of the milestones is highly probable and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price using the “most likely amount” method. If it is probable that no subsequent significant reversal of revenue will occur, the value of the milestone is included in the transaction price. |
| Payments linked to events that are not within the Group’s control and that typically depend on obligations to be fulfilled by the counterparty (such as product approval by regulatory authorities or the completion of research phases conducted by the customer) are not considered highly probable until there is certainty that the milestone has been 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 total transaction price. | |
| The Group issues an invoice for the milestone upon notification by the customer of the achievement of the objective/event. Such invoice is typically due within 30 days. Payment terms do not include trade discounts. | |
| Royalties (based on sales) | The Group recognizes revenue from sales-based royalties only when (or as) the latest of the following events occurs: |
| — the subsequent sale or use; and | |
| — the fulfillment (or partial fulfillment) of the performance obligation to which the sales-based royalty has been allocated, in whole or in part. |
With regard to other performance obligations contained in the 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 such activities over time as the performance obligation is satisfied, provided that one of the following criteria is met:
- the customer simultaneously receives and uses the benefits arising from the service performed by the Group as the Group performs it;
- the service performed by the Group creates or enhances an asset controlled by the customer as the asset is created or enhanced;
- the service does not create an asset that has an alternative use for the Group, and the Group has a enforceable right to payment for the service completed up to the date in question.
If none of the criteria listed above are met, the performance obligation is considered fulfilled at the time the good or service is transferred, and the related revenue is recognized at a point in time.
Government grants
Unrestricted government grants are recognized in profit/(loss) for the period as other income when the grant becomes receivable. Other government grants related to assets are initially recognized at fair value as deferred revenue if there is reasonable certainty that they will be received and that the Group will meet the conditions required for their receipt, and are then recognized in profit or 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 presented in the balance sheet under current and non-current assets based on their potential for use.
Grants intended to offset costs incurred by the Group are recognized in profit/(loss) for the period on a systematic basis, to be matched in the same period against the costs the grant is intended to offset.
Recognition of Costs
Costs are recognized when they relate to goods and services purchased or consumed during the period or through systematic allocation in accordance with the economic and temporal accrual basis.
Financial income and expenses
Financial income and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis based on the interest accrued on the net value of the related financial assets and liabilities using the effective interest rate.
Financial expenses are recognized on an accrual basis and recorded in the income statement in the period in which they accrue.
Financial income is recognized based on the effective rate of return in accordance with the accrual principle.
Taxes
The tax expense for the period includes current and deferred taxes recognized in profit/(loss) for the period, except for those related to business combinations or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
The Group has determined that interest and penalties related to income taxes, including the accounting treatment to be applied to uncertain income taxes, are accounted for in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities, and Contingent Assets, as they do not meet the definition of income taxes.
i) Current taxes
Current taxes include an estimate of the amount of income taxes payable or receivable, calculated on the basis of taxable income or the tax loss for the period, as well as any adjustments to taxes from prior periods. The amount of taxes payable or receivable, determined based on tax rates in effect or substantially in effect as of the end of the period, also includes the best estimate of any portion payable or receivable that is subject to uncertainty. 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 respect to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities reported in the financial statements and their corresponding tax bases. Deferred taxes are not recognized for:
- temporary differences arising from 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 the 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 utilized. Future taxable income is determined based on the reversal of the related deductible temporary differences. If the amount of taxable temporary differences is insufficient to fully recognize a deferred tax asset, future taxable income—adjusted for the reversal of existing temporary differences—as projected in the business plans of the individual Group companies is taken into account. The value of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each year-end and is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. Such reductions must be reversed when the probability of achieving future taxable income increases.
Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each fiscal year and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that the Group will generate sufficient future taxable income to utilize them.
Deferred taxes are measured using the tax rates expected to apply to temporary differences in the period in which they reverse, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted as of the balance sheet date, and reflect any uncertainties regarding 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 financial year, to recover or settle the carrying amount of assets and liabilities
Operating Profit
Operating income is determined by the Group's operating activities that generate recurring revenue and by other income and expenses related to operating activities. Net financial expenses and income taxes are excluded from operating income.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share were calculated based on net income attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share were calculated based on the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, taking into account the effects of all potential ordinary shares with a dilutive effect. The calculation of the dilutive effect of potential ordinary shares was performed using the treasury share method as provided by IAS 33.
Property, plant, and equipment
i) Recognition and Measurement
An item of property, plant, and equipment is measured at cost, including capitalized interest, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
If an item of property, plant, and equipment consists of various components with different useful lives, those components are accounted for separately (significant components).
The gain or loss arising 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, net of its estimated residual value, on a straight-line basis over the item's useful life. Depreciation is generally recognized in profit/(loss) for the period under "Depreciation." Land is not depreciated. Fixed assets are capitalized when the asset is in the condition necessary for it to function as intended by management.
The estimated useful lives for the current period and comparative periods are as follows:
| Category | Rate |
|---|---|
| Buildings | 3% |
| Plant and equipment | 20% |
| Automated machinery | 20% |
| Industrial and commercial equipment | 15% |
| Passenger cars | 25% |
| Furniture and furnishings | 12% |
| Improvements to third-party property | 8–10% |
Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at the end of the period and adjusted as necessary.
Intangible assets
i) Recognition and measurement
Research and development: Research expenses are recognized in profit/(loss) for the period in which they are incurred. Development costs are capitalized only if the cost attributable to the asset during its development can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Group intends to and has sufficient resources to complete the development and to use or sell the asset. Other development costs are recognized in profit or loss for the period as incurred. Capitalized development costs are recorded at cost, net of accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
If all capitalization requirements are not met, the 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 with a finite useful life are recorded at cost, net of accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
ii) Subsequent costs
Subsequent costs 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 profit/(loss) in the period in which they are incurred.
iii) Amortization
Amortization is recognized in profit/(loss) for the year on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets, starting from when the asset is available for use.
The estimated useful lives for the current period and comparative periods are as follows:
| Category | Average rate |
|---|---|
| Patent rights and intellectual property rights | 5% |
| Concessions, licenses, trademarks, and similar rights | 10% |
Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at the end of each period and adjusted as necessary.
Right-of-use assets
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 confers 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 the contract or upon modification of a contract containing a lease component, the Group allocates the contract consideration to each lease component based on its stand-alone price.
At the lease commencement date, the Group recognizes the right-of-use asset and the lease liability. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, comprising the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, adjusted for lease payments due and made on or before the commencement date, plus initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of the costs the lessee will incur for the dismantling and removal of the underlying asset or for the restoration of the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, net of lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is amortized on a straight-line basis from the commencement 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, it is expected that the Group will exercise the purchase option. In such a case, the right-of-use asset is amortized over the useful life of the underlying asset, determined on the same basis as that for property and equipment. Furthermore, the right-of-use asset is regularly reduced by any impairment losses and adjusted to reflect any changes arising from subsequent measurements of the lease liability.
The Group measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments due but not yet paid as of the commencement date, discounting them using the implicit interest rate of the lease. Where it is not possible to readily determine this rate, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
The Group's incremental borrowing rate is calculated based on interest rates obtained from various external financing sources, with certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and the type of leased asset.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise:
- fixed payments (including payments that are substantially fixed);
- variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using an index or rate at the commencement date;
- amounts expected to be paid as a residual value guarantee; and
- the exercise price of a purchase option that the Group has a high degree of certainty will exercise, lease payments due during an optional renewal period if the Group has a high degree of certainty will exercise the renewal option, and penalties for early termination of the lease, unless the Group has a high degree of certainty will not terminate the lease early.
The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method and is remeasured in the event of a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or rate, in the event of a change in the amount the Group expects to pay as a residual value guarantee, or when the Group revises its assessment regarding whether to exercise a purchase, extension, or termination option, or in the event of a revision of lease payments that are substantively fixed.
When the lease liability is remeasured, the lessee makes a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use asset. If the carrying amount 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 retrospective application method as of January 1, 2017.
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Group has decided not to recognize assets for the right to use and lease liabilities related to low-value assets and short-term leases, including IT equipment. The Group recognizes the related lease payments as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Lease-backs
If an entity transfers a specific asset to another entity and leases it back, it must determine, based on the provisions of IFRS 15, whether the transfer should be accounted for as a sale. In such a case, the lessee-seller must measure the right-of-use asset arising from the leaseback at the percentage of the asset's previous carrying amount that is transferred to the right-of-use asset retained by the lessee-seller. Consequently, the lessee-seller must recognize only the amount of gains or losses that relate to the rights transferred to the lessor-purchaser. 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 are not at market rates, the entity must make the following adjustments to measure the proceeds of the sale at fair value: (i) terms below market rates must be accounted for as an advance payment of lease payments due, and (ii) terms above market rates must be accounted for as additional financing provided by the lessor-purchaser to the lessee-seller.
Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of purchase or production cost and net realizable value. Purchase cost means the actual purchase price plus incidental charges. The purchase cost of materials includes, in addition to the price of the material, transportation costs, customs duties, other taxes, and other costs directly attributable to that material. Returns, trade discounts, rebates, and bonuses are deducted from costs. Production cost refers to all direct and indirect costs reasonably attributable to the product for the period of manufacture and up to the point at which the asset can be used, calculated based on normal production capacity. The realizable value based on market trends is equal to the estimated selling price of goods and finished products in the ordinary course of business, net of estimated costs to complete and direct selling costs. In determining the realizable value based on market trends, account is taken, among other things, of the obsolescence rate and inventory turnover. 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 portion of overhead expenses determined based on normal production capacity.
Financial Instruments
i) Recognition and Measurement
Trade receivables are recognized when they arise. All other financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized on the trade date, i.e., when the Group becomes a party to the financial instrument.
With the exception of 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, 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 measured at their transaction price.
ii) Classification and Subsequent Measurement
Financial assets:
Upon initial recognition, a financial asset is classified based on its measurement: amortized cost; fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) – debt instrument; FVOCI – equity instrument; or fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).
Financial assets are not reclassified after initial recognition, unless the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets. In that case, all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first fiscal year following the change in the business model.
A financial asset must be measured at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met and it is not designated as FVTPL:
- the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets for the purpose of collecting the related contractual cash flows; and
- the contractual terms of the financial asset provide for cash flows on specified dates consisting solely of payments of principal and interest on the principal amount to be repaid.
A financial asset shall be measured at FVOCI if both of the following conditions are met and it is not designated as FVTPL:
- the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and by selling financial assets; and
- the contractual terms of the financial asset provide for cash flows on specified dates consisting solely of payments of principal and interest on the principal amount to be repaid.
Upon initial recognition of an equity instrument not held for trading, the Group may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income. This election is made on an asset-by-asset basis.
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or at 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 or loss if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise result from measuring the financial asset at amortized cost or at FVOCI.
Financial Assets: Business Model Assessment
With specific reference to the Business Model, IFRS 9 identifies three different business models, which in turn reflect the ways in which financial assets are managed:
i. "Held To Collect": a business model that includes financial assets held with the objective of realizing the contractual cash flows, retaining the financial instrument until maturity;
ii. "Held to Collect and Sell": a business model that includes financial assets held with the objective of both realizing contractual cash flows over the life of the asset and collecting proceeds from its sale;
iii. "Other": a business model that includes financial instruments not classifiable in the preceding categories, primarily consisting of financial assets held for the purpose of realizing cash flows through sale (assets held for trading).
The business model therefore represents the manner in which the Group manages its financial assets, that is, the manner in which it intends to generate 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 this best reflects how the asset is managed and the information reported to management. This information includes:
- the stated criteria and objectives of the portfolio and the practical application of those criteria, including, among other things, whether management's strategy is based on earning interest income from the contract, maintaining a specific interest rate profile, matching the duration of financial assets to that of related liabilities, or on expected cash flows or on generating cash flows through the sale of assets;
- the methods used to evaluate the portfolio's performance and the methods used to communicate performance to the Group's senior management;
- 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 terms of compensation for the company's executives (for example, whether compensation is based on the fair value of the assets managed or on the contractual cash flows collected); and
- the frequency, value, and timing of sales of financial assets in prior periods, the reasons for the sales, and expectations regarding future sales.
Transfers of financial assets to third parties in transactions that do not result in derecognition are not considered sales for the purposes of evaluating the business model, consistent with the Group's continued recognition of such assets on its balance sheet.
Financial assets that meet the definition of financial assets held for trading or whose performance is evaluated based on fair value are measured at FVTPL.
Financial assets: assessment to determine whether contractual cash flows consist solely of principal and interest payments.
For valuation purposes, 'principal' is the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition, while 'interest' represents the consideration for the time value of money, for the credit risk associated with the principal amount to be repaid over a given period of time, and for other basic risks and costs associated with the loan (for example, 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 other things, whether the financial asset contains a contractual clause that modifies the timing or amount of the contractual cash flows such that it does not satisfy the following condition. For the purposes of this assessment, 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 components;
- prepayment and extension features; and
- clauses that limit the Group's claims to cash flows from specific assets (for example, non-recourse components).
The prepayment feature is consistent with the criterion of "cash flows consisting solely of principal and interest payments" when the amount of the prepayment substantially represents the unpaid principal and interest accrued on the principal amount to be repaid, which may include reasonable compensation for early termination of the contract. Furthermore, in the case of a financial asset acquired at a significant premium or discount to the contractual nominal amount, a component that permits or requires an upfront payment equal to an amount that substantially represents the contractual nominal amount plus accrued contractual interest (but unpaid) (which may include reasonable compensation for early termination of the contract) is accounted for in accordance with that criterion if the fair value of the prepayment element is not significant at the time of initial recognition.
Financial Assets: Subsequent Measurement and Gains and Losses
| Financial assets measured at FVTPL | These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including dividends or interest received, are recognized in profit or loss for the period. |
|---|---|
| Financial assets measured at amortized cost | These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost in accordance with the effective interest method. Amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, and impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss for the period, as are any gains or losses arising from derecognition. |
| Debt securities measured at FVOCI | These assets, provided they pass 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 profit/(loss) for the year. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. Upon derecognition, the gains or losses accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit/(loss) for the period. |
| Equity securities measured at FVOCI | These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized in profit/(loss) for the period unless they clearly represent a recovery of part of the investment's cost or fair value. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit/(loss) for the period. |
Financial liabilities: classification, subsequent measurement, and gains and losses
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or at FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as FVTPL when it is held for trading, is 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 or 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 profit/(loss) for the period, as are any gains or losses arising from derecognition.
iii) Accounting elimination
Financial assets
Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows arising from them expire, when the contractual rights to receive 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 that involve 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 discharged or canceled, or has expired. The Group also derecognizes a financial liability in the event of a change in the related contractual terms, provided that the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different. In such cases, a new financial liability is recognized at fair value based on the modified contractual terms.
The difference between the carrying amount of the extinguished financial liability and the consideration paid (including non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss for the period.
iv) Offsetting
Financial assets and liabilities may be offset, and the resulting amount is presented in the statement of financial position if, and only if, the Group currently has a legal right to offset such amounts and intends to settle the balance on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Impairment losses
i) Financial instruments and assets arising from contracts
The Group recognizes impairment allowances for expected credit losses related to:
- financial assets measured at amortized cost;
- debt securities measured at FVOCI; and
- contract assets.
The Group measures impairment allowances at an amount equal to expected losses over the entire life of the receivable, except as noted below, for the following twelve months:
- debt securities with low credit risk as of the balance sheet date; and
- other debt securities and bank accounts whose credit risk (i.e., the risk of default over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not significantly increased since initial recognition.
Allowances for trade receivables and contract assets are always measured at an amount equal to the expected losses over the entire life of the receivable.
To determine whether the credit risk associated with a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition for the purpose of estimating expected credit losses, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes quantitative and qualitative information and analyses based on the Group's historical experience, credit assessments, and forward-looking information.
Expected credit losses on long-term assets are the expected credit losses arising from all possible defaults over the expected life of a financial instrument.
12-month expected credit losses are the expected credit losses arising from possible defaults within twelve months of the balance sheet 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.
Measurement of expected credit losses
Expected credit losses (ECL) are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are the present value of all shortfalls in collections (i.e., the difference between the cash flows due to the entity under the contract and the cash flows the Group expects to receive).
ECLs are discounted using the effective interest method for the financial asset.
Non-financial assets
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence of impairment with respect to the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets, excluding investment property, inventory, contract assets, and deferred tax assets. If, based on this assessment, it appears that the assets have indeed suffered an impairment, the Group estimates their recoverable amount.
Share capital
In accordance with IAS 32, common shares and other shares issued by the Parent Company are classified as equity instruments.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of common shares are recognized as a reduction in equity. Income taxes related to the transaction costs of an equity transaction are recognized in accordance with IAS 12.
Provisions
The amount of provisions is represented by 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 risks specific to the liability.
Employee Benefits
Effective January 1, 2007, the 2007 Budget Law and its implementing decrees introduced significant changes to the rules governing severance pay (TFR), including the employee's choice regarding the allocation of accruing severance pay to supplementary pension funds or to the "Treasury Fund" managed by INPS. Consequently, the obligation to INPS and contributions to supplementary pension schemes are classified, in accordance with IAS 19, as "defined contribution plans," while the amounts allocated to severance pay retain the classification 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 benefits that employees have earned in exchange for service rendered in the current and prior periods; this benefit is discounted, and the fair value of any plan assets is deducted from the liabilities.
The calculation is performed by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. If the calculation results in a gain for the Group, the amount of the asset recognized is limited to the present value of the economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future plan contributions. To determine the present value of the economic benefits, the minimum funding requirements applicable to any of the Group's plans are considered.
Actuarial gains and losses, returns on plan assets (excluding interest), and the effect of the asset ceiling (excluding any interest) arising from revaluations of the net defined benefit liability are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income. Net interest for the period on the net defined benefit liability/(asset) is calculated by applying to the net liability/(asset) the discount rate used to discount the defined benefit obligation, determined at the beginning of the period, taking into account 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 are instead recognized in profit/(loss) for the period.
When changes are made to a plan's benefits or when a plan is curtailed, the portion of the economic benefit relating to past service or the gain or loss arising from the curtailment is recognized in profit or loss for the period when the adjustment or curtailment occurs.
Share-based payments
The fair value at the grant date of incentives recognized in equity-settled share-based payment transactions granted to employees is typically recognized as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period during which employees vest in the incentives. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of incentives for which the conditions of continued service and achievement of non-market performance have been met, so that the final amount recognized as an expense is based on the number of incentives that satisfy those conditions at the vesting date. In the case of incentives granted in the form of equity-based payments whose conditions are not considered vesting conditions, the fair value as of the grant date of the equity-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions. With respect to non-vesting conditions, any differences between the assumptions made at the grant date and the actual outcomes will have no impact on the financial statements.
The fair value of the amount to be paid to employees in connection with cash-settled share appreciation rights is recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in liabilities over the period during which employees earn the unconditional right to receive the payment. The liability is measured at each reporting date and at the settlement date based on the fair value of the share appreciation rights. Any changes in the fair value of the liability are recognized in profit or loss for the period.
Fair Value Measurements
Various accounting standards and certain disclosure requirements require the Group to measure the fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. In measuring the fair value of an asset or liability, the Group uses observable market data to the extent possible. Fair values are categorized into various hierarchical levels based on the input data used in the valuation techniques, as illustrated below.
- Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
- Level 2: Input data other than the quoted prices referred to in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).
- Level 3: input data relating to the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
Fair value is the price that would be received on the measurement date for the sale of an asset or paid for the transfer of a liability in an arm's-length 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 default risk.
Where available, the Group determines the fair value of an instrument using the quoted price of that instrument in an active market. A market is active when transactions involving the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide useful information for pricing on an ongoing basis.
In the absence of a quoted price in an active market, the Group uses valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The chosen valuation technique incorporates 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 an ask price, the Group measures long and net asset positions at the bid price and short and net liability positions at the ask price.
The best evidence of the fair value of a financial instrument at the time of initial recognition is usually the transaction price (i.e., the fair value of the consideration given or received). If the Group notes 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 immaterial, 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. Subsequently, this difference is recognized in profit or loss over the life of the instrument using an appropriate method, but no later than the point at which the measurement is fully supported by observable market data or the transaction is settled.
Operating Segment
IFRS 8—Operating Segments—defines an operating segment as a component:
-
that involves business activities that generate revenue and costs;
-
whose operating results are reviewed periodically at the highest decision-making level;
- for which separate financial information is available.
The Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is 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 agreements, and products, in order to monitor business performance and make the necessary decisions.
In this regard, the Company's management has identified a single business segment. The essentially homogeneous nature of the business, together with the progress of projects currently under development, does not allow for a division into multiple sectors subject to risks and benefits distinct from those of other business sectors. Furthermore, the services provided, the nature of the production processes, and the customer base by product do not allow for the Company's operations to be divided into distinct business segments. Therefore, the Company believes that, at present, financial reporting by business segment and geographic region would not provide a better representation or understanding of the business or its risks and benefits.
Changes to International Accounting Standards, Interpretations, and Amendments:
The following are the new accounting standards, interpretations, and improvements issued by the IASB and adopted as of January 1, 2025:
- Amendments to IAS 21 – Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation – (effective from January 1, 2025);
This amendment had no impact on the Group.
Accounting standards published but not yet adopted:
The following are the new accounting standards applicable to fiscal years beginning after January 1, 2025, for which early adoption is permitted. However, the Group has decided not to adopt them early for the preparation of these consolidated financial statements:
- Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 – Amendments to the classification and measurement of financial investments (effective from January 1, 2026);
- Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 – Contracts related to weather-dependent electricity (effective from January 1, 2026).
- IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (mandatory application effective January 1, 2027);
IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and will apply to financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2027. The new accounting standard introduces the following changes:
- Entities must classify all items of income and expenses into the following five categories in the statement of profit or loss: operating activities, investing activities, financing activities, discontinued operations, and income taxes. In addition, entities must present operating profit or loss, as defined by IFRS 18, as a new subtotal. Entities' profit/(loss) for the year will remain unchanged;
- Management performance measures (MPMs) must be disclosed in a single note to the financial statements;
- The standard provides specific guidance on how to aggregate and disaggregate information in the financial statements.
In addition, all entities must use the subtotal of operating profit as the starting point for the cash flow statement when it is presented using the indirect method.
- IFRS 19 – Subsidiaries without public accountability: disclosures (effective January 1, 2027).
- Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 – Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (effective date to be determined)
The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation, or improvement that has been issued but is not yet effective.
The Group is still evaluating the potential impact of adopting the new standards listed above, but a preliminary assessment indicates no significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
With regard to the impact of applying the new IFRS 18 accounting standard, particularly on the structure of the Group’s income statement and cash flow statement, as well as on the additional disclosures required for MPMs, the Group is evaluating the effect of how information is aggregated and disaggregated in the financial statements, including with respect to items currently classified as “other.”

Notes to the financial statements as of December 31, 2025
Preparation Criteria
1. Introduction
Philogen S.p.A. (hereinafter the "Company") was admitted to trading on the Mercato Telematico Azionario organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. on March 3, 2021. More specifically, 4,061,111 shares were issued, corresponding to approximately 10% of the Company's share capital as of the trading commencement date, at a price of €17 per share.
Regulation (EC) No. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of July 19, 2002 (the "EU Regulation") mandated, effective from the 2005 fiscal year, that all companies with securities admitted to trading on a regulated market prepare their financial statements in accordance with IAS/IFRS. In Italy, this matter was regulated by Legislative Decree No. 38 of February 28, 2005, which provided that companies exempt from the obligation under the EU Regulation had the option to prepare their financial statements in accordance with IAS/IFRS starting with the financial year ended December 31, 2005.
2. Entity Preparing the 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 operates primarily in the integrated biotechnology sector and, in particular, in the development of advanced biopharmaceutical products for the treatment of diseases characterized by or associated with angiogenesis, based predominantly on antibody conjugates capable of achieving selective accumulation at sites where the pathology is present. Philogen holds a controlling stake of 99.998% in Philochem AG, a subsidiary based in Zurich, Switzerland, which conducts pharmaceutical research and discovers therapeutic antibodies and self-assembling chemical libraries encoded via DNA fragments.
Pursuant to paragraph 5 of Article 2497-bis of the Italian Civil Code, it is hereby disclosed that the Company is not subject to management and coordination by any other company.
3. Basis of Preparation
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and adopted by the European Union, including all International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) subject to interpretation and the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) and the former Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC).
These financial statements were approved and authorized for publication by the Company's Board of Directors on March 27, 2026.
Details regarding the accounting standards adopted are provided in Note 34.
Functional and presentation currency
These financial statements are presented 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 discrepancies found in certain tables are due to the rounding of amounts expressed in thousands of euros.
Use of Estimates and Judgments
In preparing the financial statements, management was required to make estimates and judgments that affect the application of accounting principles and the amounts of assets, liabilities, costs, and revenues recognized in the financial statements. However, it should be noted that, since these are estimates, the results obtained may not necessarily be the same as those presented 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 is a summary of the financial statement items that, more than others, require greater judgment on the part of the Directors in preparing estimates and for which a change in the conditions underlying the assumptions used could have a significant impact on the financial statements.
— Assessments
The decisions made by management that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are provided in the following notes:
- Notes 5 and 35 – Recognition of revenue from contracts with customers: analysis of contracts with customers, with particular reference to the recognition of revenue from licensing and third-party-commissioned research and development activities at a specific point in time or over time, and to the identification of individual performance obligations.
— Assumptions and uncertainties in estimates
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, information regarding assumptions and uncertainties in estimates that pose a significant risk of causing material changes to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements of the subsequent period is provided in the following notes:
- Notes 5 and 35 - Revenue recognition: assumptions in determining the total cost of the performance obligation in relation to contracts with customers recognized over time;
- Note No. 35 - Valuation of financial instruments: key assumptions underlying the calculation of fair value;
- Note No. 35 - Determination of the discount rate: key assumptions regarding the calculation of the incremental borrowing rate (IBR), where the implicit interest rate is not available.
- Notes 9 and 35 - Recognition of deferred tax assets: availability of future taxable income against which deductible temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards can be utilized.
-
Notes 13 and 14 - Impairment testing of non-current assets and equity investments: key assumptions for determining recoverable amounts;
-
Segment Reporting
For the purposes of IFRS 8, management has identified a single operating segment, “Biotechnology,” which encompasses all activities carried out by the Company and its subsidiary.
The Company operates primarily in the integrated biotechnology sector and, in particular, is engaged in the development of advanced biopharmaceutical products for the treatment of diseases characterized by or associated with angiogenesis, based primarily on antibody conjugates capable of achieving selective accumulation at sites where the pathology is present.
Details of revenue from contracts with customers by product and service type, by geographic area, and information regarding the Company's degree of dependence on its major customers are provided in Note 5.
The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) is the Executive Chairman.

| Other income | 5,747 | 3,660 |
| Total revenue and income | 21,439 | 78,409 |
Revenue from contracts with customers primarily relates to payments for upfront fees, milestones, and/or maintenance fees, research and development services, as well as revenue from contract manufacturing that the Company performs under existing contracts. For the year ended December 31, 2025, revenue from contracts with customers amounted to €21,439 thousand, a decrease of €56,970 thousand compared to the previous period.
It should be noted that partnerships continue for Nidleyy™ and Fibromun with Sun Pharma in Europe (a marketing, licensing, and supply agreement involving milestones and royalties) and with Merck Sharp & Dohme (clinical collaboration in the United States). The partnership for Dekavil (Pfizer) and the research and development contracts for third-party GMP manufacturing also continue.
Other income amounted to €5,747 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025, representing an increase of approximately 57% compared to the previous year. This change is primarily attributable to the income for the year related to the research and development tax credit for pharmaceuticals, calculated based on costs incurred in 2025 for this purpose.
Further details on revenue from contracts with customers are provided below.

Other income relates primarily to tax credits provided for by law and, to a lesser extent, to research grants for projects co-financed by the European Community, the Region of Tuscany, and Eurostars projects. This item primarily includes the recognition of operating grants related to certain credits from which the Company benefits on an ongoing basis by virtue of the research and development activities it carries out in accordance with its articles of association.
The capital grant corresponds to the portion of the grant for the year 2025, calculated based on the depreciation rate for the period of assets that were eligible for the "Industry 4.0" incentives provided for in Law 160/2019 (the so-called 2020 Budget Law) and Law 178/2020 (the so-called 2021 Budget Law). It should be noted that investments were made in the equipment and interconnection of the new GMP facility at the Rosia (Siena) site, resulting in a total Industry 4.0 credit of €2,586 thousand.
6. Operating Costs
The following table provides a breakdown of operating costs as of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024:
| Figures in thousands of euros | Year ended December 31 | |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Purchases of raw materials and supplies | 4,043 | 2,125 |
| Costs for services | 25,789 | 18,398 |

| Depreciation and amortization | 3,723 | 3,372 |
| Other operating expenses | 355 | 412 |
| Total operating expenses | 46,522 | 35,450 |
Costs for purchases of raw materials and consumables
Costs for purchases of raw materials and consumables, amounting to €4,043 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025 (€2,125 thousand in the prior year), are primarily attributable to the cost of materials used in operations, the variation
of which is linked to the production of the drug for clinical trials and to GMP production of antibodies commissioned by third parties (Siena).
Costs for services
The "Costs for services" item includes, among others, the following categories:
| Figures in thousands of euros | Year ended December 31 | |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Costs related to Clinical Centers and CROs | 9,594 | 7,739 |
| Intercompany services | 3,813 | 3,204 |
| Utilities and general expenses | 1,326 | 1,365 |
| Outsourced services for research and development | 2,019 | 1,576 |
| Compensation for corporate officers (net of contributions) | 1,986 | 1,338 |
| Incentive plans for directors (*) | 3,472 | - |
| Corporate expenses and consulting fees | 759 | 612 |
| Management by Objectives (MBO) | 722 | 590 |
| Severance pay | 108 | 69 |
| Social security contributions on compensation for corporate officers | 121 | 94 |
| Other service costs | 1,869 | 1,811 |
| Total service costs | 25,789 | 18,398 |
*Please note that, as of now, this item does not include €1,959 thousand relating to the portion of costs attributable to 2025, set aside for the current Executive Directors who, as of the date of the Units' grant, were employees of the Company. This amount is, however, still included in the costs for Cycle III of the 2024–2027 Stock Grant Plan, together with the costs for other employee beneficiaries, and is reported under the item “Personnel costs.” The total costs attributable to 2025 for the Directors' Incentive Plan therefore amount to €5,431 thousand.
Service costs consist primarily of costs related to the Company's operating activities, namely costs incurred for clinical trials at clinical centers and costs related to outsourced research and development services. The most significant changes are:
i) The increase in costs related to clinical centers and CROs, amounting to €1,855 thousand, is attributable to higher costs incurred in the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the previous period, due to the progress of ongoing trials;
ii) The increase in the item "Director Incentive Plans," amounting to €3,472 thousand, relates to the provision for costs associated with the new cycle of the 2024–2027 Stock Grant Plan for directors;
iii) The increase of €609 thousand in "Intercompany services" relates to higher costs incurred by the Company in connection with research and development activities subcontracted to the subsidiary; it should be noted that the subsidiary Philochem performs project management activities for the Parent Company's clinical trials, as well as research activities commissioned by Philogen;
iv) The increase in the "outsourcing services for R&D activities" item, amounting to €443 thousand, is primarily attributable to the GMP production of small organic molecules by the subsidiary and, to a lesser extent, to activities related to GMP contracts for third-party production;
v) The increase in MBO, linked to the compensation of executive directors, rose by €133 thousand compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, following the increase in compensation approved in May 2025 for the new powers granted to executive directors. The percentage used to calculate short-term incentives was also increased.
Costs for the use of third-party assets
Rental expenses amounted to €518 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of €223 thousand compared to the previous year. This item includes rental expenses, exclusively relating to leases with a term of less than twelve months and those of a minor amount (excluded from the scope of application of IFRS 16), as well as variable payments linked to incidental expenses quantified on a final basis, which are also not included in the calculation of the financial liability and the related right-of-use asset pursuant to IFRS 16. Specifically, given the increase in staff during the
reporting period, there was a rise in costs for the use of third-party assets, attributable to higher costs incurred for new corporate software/license agreements with a duration of less than one year.
Personnel Costs
The following table details the composition of personnel costs for the years ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024:
| Figures in thousands of euros | Year ended December 31 | |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Wages and Salaries | 7,171 | 6,086 |

Plant and machinery show an increase of €188 thousand and primarily relate to the fitting out of laboratories and the alarm and UPS systems at the production sites instrumental to operations at the Rosia site. Furthermore, during 2025, expenses related to the revamping of the Montarioso facility and, to a lesser extent, those incurred for photovoltaic panels were reclassified under this item.
Industrial and commercial equipment shows an increase of €1,314 thousand and primarily includes the purchase cost incurred for laboratory equipment and machinery to further equip the Rosia (Siena) production unit.
Leasehold improvements, an item comprising expenses incurred for the construction of the office building at the Rosia (Siena) site, show an increase of €222 thousand, primarily attributable to expenses incurred for the creation of an open-plan office and a cafeteria in the Rosia building and, to a lesser extent, to expenses incurred for the refurbishment of the archive of the Clinical Department (Rosia). From an accounting perspective, these improvements to third-party property are amortized over the entire term of the lease agreement for the asset to which they relate. In this specific case, the useful life was estimated by assuming a tacit renewal of the current lease agreement for the Rosia site, in accordance with the provisions of International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 16, and therefore the amortization process will be completed in fiscal year 2034. Please refer to the accounting policies section for specific details regarding IAS 16 and IFRS 16.
Other tangible assets consist primarily of company vehicles and furniture and fixtures. Company vehicles are partly made available for mixed use by employees, partly assigned to certain members of the Board of Directors, and partly made available to company staff.
Construction in progress relates to the construction of a parking lot for private and company use, covered with photovoltaic panels, at the Rosia site.
For further details, please refer to Note 32 regarding transactions with related parties.

Right-of-use assets as of December 31, 2025, are primarily attributable to leases for properties used by the Company for operational management. Specifically, in 2019, a functional and structural reorganization project was implemented for the Group, aimed at separating the real estate division from the operational division of the Companies. At the same time, lease agreements were entered into, resulting in the recognition of right-of-use assets and related financial liabilities in accordance with IFRS 16. The increases recognized during the 2025 fiscal year, amounting to €498 thousand, relate to contractually stipulated ISTAT adjustments to the lease payments, which were affected by the inflation rate for the period. During 2025, the Company paid approximately €800 in lease payments.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company has not identified any indicators of impairment regarding right-of-use assets.
Impairment test
We note that, as of December 31, 2025, no factors were identified that would lead the Directors to believe that the reasons for the recognition of property, plant, and equipment, intangible assets, and right-of-use assets no longer apply; nor have any further indicators of impairment emerged that would lead the Directors to believe that there may be a reduction in the value of property, plant, and equipment, intangible assets, and right-of-use assets; consequently, it was not necessary to perform impairment tests on the carrying amount reported in the financial statements.

Inventories of raw materials and supplies include inventory valued at the lower of cost or market value.
As of December 31, 2025, inventories, amounting to €2,882 thousand, show a decrease compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to lower procurement of consumables used in the Company's operating activities.
16. Contract Assets and Liabilities
Assets arising from contracts relate to performance obligations fulfilled over time and are measured on a cost-to-cost basis, as they are the subject of contracts already finalized with the customer.
Contract assets are recognized as assets net of related liabilities if, based on a contract-by-contract analysis, the gross value of work performed as of the reporting date exceeds the advance payments received from customers. Conversely, if advance payments received from customers exceed the related contract assets, the excess amount is recognized as a liability.
The net balance of assets and liabilities arising from contracts is composed as follows:
Contracts with a positive net balance
| Figures in thousands of euros | December 31
2025 | December 31
2024 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Advances received from customers | (2,081) | (1,350) |
| Contract assets | 5,018 | 4,611 |
| Assets from contracts with customers | 2,937 | 3,261 |
Contracts with a negative net balance
| Figures in thousands of euros | December 31
2025 | December 31
2024 |
| --- | --- | --- |
Advances received from customers primarily relate to up-front fees collected in connection with performance obligations that the Company must fulfill in the future, which are recognized over time based on the progress of the related contract costs (revenue recognized on advances).
Contract assets and liabilities arise from the balance of the two items indicated above.
Contract liabilities to customers are classified as current liabilities because the Company expects to complete the performance obligations within the next 12 months.
17. Trade receivables
The "Trade receivables" account consists of the following:

29. Stock-based incentive plan
To service the aforementioned Plan, the Shareholders' Meeting also resolved to carry out a split-off free capital increase, pursuant to Article 2349 of the Italian Civil Code, to be executed by the deadline of December 31, 2026, for a maximum of €123,974 thousand, to be allocated in full to share capital, and to establish, for the same amount, a specific reserve, drawn from the retained earnings reserve, named "Reserve for capital increase in support of the 2024-2026 Stock Grant Plan," which will remain restricted for the purpose of the free share capital increase until the final subscription deadline.
- on September 28, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors, upon the proposal of the Nominating and Compensation Committee, approved the regulations of the aforementioned Plan and implemented them, identifying the beneficiaries and defining the performance objectives and related targets for the first allocation cycle (2021–2024), allocating a total of 121,000 Units;
- On October 11, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors, following a positive opinion from the Nomination and Compensation Committee, identified the beneficiaries and defined the performance objectives and related targets for the second allocation cycle (2022–2025), allocating a total of 130,000 Units;
- On November 7, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors, following a favorable recommendation from the Nominating and Compensation Committee, identified the beneficiaries and defined the performance objectives and related targets for the third award cycle (2023–2026), granting a total of 619,000 Units.
Summary of the Regulations
The Plan is divided into three cycles (2021, 2022, and 2023), each with a three-year duration, which provide for:
- the allocation to beneficiaries of a certain number of Units (free of charge);
- the definition, at the time of allocation, of performance objectives;
- a three-year performance period;
- the allocation of shares to beneficiaries, subject to the achievement of the performance targets set for the three-year period.
The Plan provides for the allocation of up to 877,286 Units, which entitle the holders to receive, free of charge, up to 877,286 shares, corresponding to approximately $3\%$ of the current share capital, with reference solely to common shares. Beneficiaries receive the shares following the allocation approved by the Board of Directors at the end of the performance period for each cycle of the Plan.
At the end of each Performance Period, the Board of Directors will assess whether any threshold has been met and whether the performance objectives have been achieved, determining the number of shares to be allocated to each beneficiary. In particular, after verifying that any threshold has been met, the Board of Directors will evaluate the following:
a) achievement of corporate objectives: for each Cycle of the Plan, the allocation of shares is subject to the condition that the corporate objectives related to the Company's performance and/or the stock's performance—which will be identified by the Board of Directors for each beneficiary—are achieved, in whole or in part. The Board of Directors, after consulting with the Nominating and Compensation Committee, verifies the achievement of corporate objectives at the end of the performance period for each Cycle of the Plan;
b) Achievement of individual objectives: In addition to the corporate objectives, the Board of Directors, after consulting with the Nominating and Compensation Committee, has established individual objectives for each beneficiary of the Plan based on criteria primarily focused on: (i) the development of projects in which the individual beneficiary is involved; (ii) the achievement of the results of such projects in accordance with the methods and timelines established by the Company and/or the Group; (iii) the obtaining of authorizations from the competent authorities in the biotechnology sector for the commercialization of products developed by the Company and/or the Group; (iv) the conclusion of commercial agreements with leading companies in the research and development sector in which the Company operates. The Board of Directors,
after consulting with the Nominating and Compensation Committee, verifies the achievement of individual objectives at the end of the performance period for each Cycle of the Plan.
c) the existence of an employment relationship between the Company or the subsidiary and the beneficiary as of the date of share grant.
Individual performance objectives will be measured with reference to the specific three-year period of each Cycle, starting from the relevant grant date. The Plan will terminate on the date coinciding with the grant date of the shares relating to the third Cycle.
Evaluation Criteria
The evaluation was conducted by considering the two performance objectives—corporate and personal—assigned to each beneficiary separately. Specifically, the corporate performance component (so-called "market-based") linked to the achievement of the gate and the target for 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 period considered.
With regard to individual performance targets, the Company has estimated a probability of success based on various scenarios for achieving those targets.
For each option, the expected dividend yield and the annual probability of departure (representing an average of previous years) were taken into account.
Specifically, the following data were used in the fair value assessment as of the grant date:
Third grant cycle 2023-2026
| Number of rights(*) | Grant date | Expiration date | Price on the valuation date | Annual volatility | Dividend yield | Exit rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 616,000 | December 1, 2023 | November 30, 2026 | 18.250 | 27.44% | 0% | 0% |
(*) The number of rights as of December 31, 2025 is 602,000, adjusted following the annual resets of the current Stock Grant Plans to reflect the adjustment of the probabilities of achieving the objectives. Please note that the number of Units shown in the Table relates to the Philogen Group, of which 484,000 relate to the Company.
Overall results of the valuation
With regard to the third grant cycle, the total fair value amounts to €5,742 thousand as of December 31, 2025 (valuation year). The portion attributable to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 amounts to €1,996 thousand relating to Philogen S.p.A.
It should be noted that during 2025, 16,000 Units were granted under the second cycle of the 2024-2026 Stock Grant Plan.
The 2027-2029 Stock Grant Plan is intended for Employees and Consultants who, in the sole and discretionary judgment of the Board of Directors, after consulting with the Nominating and Compensation Committee, hold a key role and thereby actively contribute to the Company's development. Like the previous plan, this plan is divided into three cycles (2024, 2025, and 2026), each with a three-year duration. The characteristics are the same as those of the previous Stock Grant Plan; only the vesting period has been eliminated.
The Plan provides for the allocation of up to 600,000 Units, which confer the right to receive up to 600,000 Shares free of charge. Beneficiaries receive the Shares on the Grant Date provided that, during the Performance Period, they have achieved the assigned Performance Targets and their employment or consulting relationship remains in effect; for each
Beneficiary, the Grant Letter specifies (i) the number of Units granted, (ii) the corporate performance target, (iii) the date from which the Performance Period will commence.
First grant cycle 2024–2027
(*) The number of rights as of December 31, 2025, is 114,000, adjusted following the annual resets performed on the current Stock Grant Plans to reflect the adjustment of the probabilities of achieving the objectives. It should be noted that the number of Units reported in the Table relates to the Philogen Group, of which 48,000 relate to the Company.
Second grant cycle 2025–2028
Overall results of the valuation
For the first grant cycle, the total fair value is €286 thousand as of December 31, 2025 (valuation year). The portion attributable to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 is €90 thousand relating to Philogen S.p.A.
For the second grant cycle, the total fair value is €719 thousand as of December 31, 2025 (valuation year). The portion attributable to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 is €20 thousand relating to Philogen S.p.A.
Finally, the 2024-2026 Directors’ Plan is intended for the Company’s Executive Directors.
The Plan provides for the allocation of up to 600,000 Units, which confer the right to receive up to 600,000 Shares free of charge. Beneficiaries receive the Shares on the Performance Delivery Date, provided they have achieved the assigned corporate performance target and their directorship continues.
If the Board of Directors (BOD) identifies a new Beneficiary, the BOD may—at its discretion—determine the number of Units to which such new Beneficiary is entitled on a pro-rata temporis basis, taking into account, in particular, the period during which the new Beneficiary participates in the Plan and, therefore, that such Beneficiary has not participated in the Plan since the start date.

30. Disclosure on financial risks
Within the scope of business risks, the main risks identified, monitored, and, as 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 carrying amount of financial assets and assets arising from contracts represents the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk.
The Company's exposure to credit risk depends primarily on the specific characteristics of each customer.
However, management also considers variables typical of the Company's customer portfolio, including the risk of insolvency in the sector and country in which customers operate. Contract assets have as their primary counterparties pharmaceutical companies and multinationals characterized by a low-risk profile.
Liquidity risk
This is the risk that the Company will have difficulty meeting its obligations associated with financial liabilities settled in cash or through another financial asset. The Company's approach to liquidity management ensures that, to the extent possible, there are always sufficient funds to meet its obligations upon maturity, both under normal conditions and during periods of financial stress, without incurring excessive costs or risking damage to its reputation.
The Company ensures that it holds cash on hand 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 receivables and other receivables, as well as cash outflows related to trade payables and other payables.
The following is an analysis of the maturities for trade receivables and payables and for financial liabilities as of December 31, 2025:
| Amounts in thousands of euros | December 31, 2025 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Within 90 days | 90 days to 1 year | From 1 to 5 years | Over 5 years | Total | |

| Trade receivables | 2,975 | 2,975 | |||
| Total | 2,975 | 2,975 |
In addition, in addition to cash and cash equivalents, the Company holds a portfolio of financial investments totaling €135,542 thousand as of December 31, 2025, which is readily liquidatable and may be used to meet any liquidity needs. Please refer to Note 19 of the financial statements.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates, interest rates, or equity prices. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control the Company's exposure to such risk within acceptable levels while simultaneously optimizing investment returns.
- Foreign exchange risk
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk in the case of sales, purchases, receivables, and loans denominated in a currency other than the functional currency.
Operations are limited to Italy and Switzerland; therefore, the Company is exposed to fluctuations between the euro and the Swiss franc. The reference currency is the euro; Philogen is subject to foreign exchange risk arising from the translation of the financial statements of its Swiss subsidiary, Philochem AG, which affects net income and equity (translation risk).
For the year ended December 31, 2025, revenue from contracts with customers was primarily generated in euros (the Company's functional currency) and accounted for approximately 87% of total revenue.
The following table provides a breakdown of revenue from customers by currency for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024:

- Financial Investment Risk Management
Following careful financial planning, Philogen has invested the portion of liquidity exceeding ordinary cash requirements in current financial assets. Investment decisions were made based on monitoring and consultations with the research department of the custodian bank. Regular updates regarding issuers' creditworthiness, country risk, and market variables are made available to the company to enable prompt corrective action.
Based on the principles described in Note 17 "Other Current Financial Assets," to which reference is made for further details, the Company has adopted an HTCS business model. Failure to pass the SPPI Test resulted in valuation at FVTPL, while passing the SPPI Test resulted in valuation at FVTOCI.
Country Risk Management
The Company does not operate in countries characterized by economic, political, or social instability such as to result in significant direct exposure to country risk. In accordance with ESMA recommendations, published on March 14, 2022, even in the absence of direct relations with Russia, Ukraine, or other markets subject to specific restrictions, the Company continues to monitor developments in the international geopolitical and macroeconomic landscape, including indirect effects related to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the sanctions regime against Russia, and geopolitical and trade tensions in the Middle East, which could impact financial markets and supply chains.

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, 2025, and December 31, 2024.
| Amounts in thousands of euros | December 31 | December 31 |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Financial assets: | ||
| Financial assets measured at amortized cost | ||
| Trade receivables | 2,975 | 1,595 |
| Current financial assets | - | |
|---|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | 7,699 | 29,314 |
| Other current assets | 943 | 897 |
| Financial assets measured at fair value | ||
| Current financial assets | 135,542 | 83,154 |
| Non-current financial assets | - | |
| Total financial assets | 147,159 | 114,960 |
| Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost | ||
| Non-current financial liabilities | - | |
| Non-current lease liabilities | 5,401 | 5,871 |
| Current financial liabilities | 50,044 | 274 |
| Current lease liabilities | 831 | 715 |
| Trade payables | 13,993 | 10,649 |
| Other current liabilities | 3,208 | 2,569 |
| Total financial liabilities | 73,478 | 20,079 |
Given the nature of short-term financial assets and liabilities, the carrying amount is considered a reasonable approximation of fair value for most of these items.
Non-current financial liabilities and assets are settled or valued at market rates and are therefore considered to have a fair value substantially in line with their current carrying amounts.
Fair Value Disclosure
With respect 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 according to the levels of the hierarchy:
| Amounts in thousands of euros | December 31, 2024 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |
| Current financial assets measured at fair value through in profit (loss) for the year | 67,246 | 15,908 | - | 83,154 |
| Total assets measured at fair value | 67,246 | 15,908 | - | 83,154 |
| Figures in thousands of euros | December 31, 2025 | |||
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |
| Current financial assets measured at fair value through in profit (loss) for the year | 105,441 | 30,101 | 135,542 | |
| Total assets measured at fair value | 105,441 | 30,101 | 135,542 |
Financial assets classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy refer to securities held in the portfolio relating to the bond and equity segments and to units of investment funds listed on regulated markets. Please refer to Note 19 for further details.
Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy includes current financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9, consisting of insurance investment products held by the Company to invest excess liquidity (see Note 19 for further 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, based on the NAVs (Net Asset Values) reported by the insurance companies, which represent the surrender value of the policies as of the balance sheet date.
There were no transfers between the different levels of the fair value hierarchy during the periods under review.

(*) In the financial statements, payables to corporate bodies are included under the item "Trade payables."
It should be noted that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, intercompany contracts totaling €3,824 thousand were entered into for research and development activities and services performed by the subsidiary Philochem AG on behalf of the Company. All transactions were carried out at market values. Similarly, Philogen also provided administrative and subcontracting services to the subsidiary Philochem totaling €591 thousand.
It should also be noted that in October 2025, following the receipt of the upfront payment arising from the contract entered into between the subsidiary Philochem AG and RayzeBio, the subsidiary granted Philogen S.p.A. an interest-bearing intercompany loan in the amount of €500,000 thousand, intended for investment in a financial portfolio aimed at achieving a better return on funds exceeding the needs of the core business. The principal will not be due for the first twelve months
following the effective date and will become repayable upon demand by Philochem AG starting from the day following the completion of the first 12 months from the effective date.
The related-party transactions described above are neither atypical nor unusual, as they fall within the normal course of business of the Group companies and are conducted on market terms.
Transactions with Rendo S.r.l.
With regard to transactions with Rendo S.r.l. and Rendo AG, the balances shown above primarily relate to rent for the following properties:
- the production plant in Montarioso (Siena) and the facility in Rosia (Siena), used as the administrative and operational headquarters of Philogen S.p.A. In this regard, following the Company's strong growth and expansion, it became necessary to reassess and reorganize the company's areas and spaces in order to construct an office building within the area currently leased by Rendo S.r.l. to Philogen S.p.A. pursuant to the lease agreement entered into 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 commenced. The construction of the building, completed in July 2024 and fully funded by Philogen, was recorded for €2,334 thousand under improvements to third-party property, representing an addition pursuant to Article 1593 of the Italian Civil Code. These improvements to third-party property are amortized over the entire term of the currently existing lease agreement for the Rosia site, the duration of which remains unchanged, assuming a tacit renewal in accordance with the provisions of International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 16.

33. Significant events following the end of the fiscal year
The main significant events that occurred after the close of the 2025 fiscal year are:
- Share Buyback
The share buyback program initiated in December 2024 continued in 2026. As of March 26, 2026, the Company held a total of 352,831 treasury shares.
- AIFA Inspection
In January 2026, the two GMP-certified pharmaceutical facilities were inspected by AIFA.
Montarioso facility:
- GMP MED (Medicines) inspection from January 12 to 19, 2026;
- GMP API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients) inspection from January 12 to 15, 2026.
Rosia Facility:
- GMP MED (Medicines) inspection from January 12 to 16, 2026.
The inspection conducted by the GMP Medicines Office of the Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA) at the Phylogen S.p.A. pharmaceutical facility in Rosia concluded successfully, with the issuance of the corresponding inspection report; the improvement measures suggested by the regulatory authority in the aforementioned report are currently being implemented.
The inspections conducted by the Medicinal Products GMP Office and the API GMP Office of the Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA) at the Phylogen S.p.A. pharmaceutical plant in Montarioso—specifically, the General Review for Medicinal Product GMPs and the inspection aimed at reactivating the site following the completion of the revamping of the GMP production areas—concluded successfully, with the issuance of the relevant inspection reports. The improvement measures indicated by the regulatory authorities in the aforementioned reports are currently being implemented.
Proposed Allocation of Net Income for the Year Ended December 31, 2025
The financial statements of Phylogen S.p.A., as illustrated in this Report and the accompanying Notes, show a net income for the 2025 fiscal year of €229,680,710.49.
The Board of Directors preliminarily notes that:
- the Company's net profit for the year derives entirely from the value of the investment in the subsidiary Philochem A.G., recorded in the financial statements as of December 31, 2025, at a value of €251,622,464.33;
- pursuant to the law, given that the Company's net profit for the fiscal year as of December 31, 2025, derives from the valuation of the aforementioned equity interest using the equity method, it is necessary to establish a restricted equity reserve of equivalent value;
- the statutory reserve has exceeded the legal limit set forth in Article 2430 of the Italian Civil Code.
The Board of Directors therefore proposes to:
- allocate the current fiscal year's net profit, amounting to €229,680,710.49, to the restricted equity reserve arising from the valuation of equity investments;
- allocate to the aforementioned restricted reserve arising from the valuation of equity investments, in addition:
- (iii) a portion of the "Retained Earnings/(Losses)" reserve amounting to €12,463,463.35, which would thus decrease from the current €43,026,357.41 to €30,562,894.06; and
- (iv) a portion of the "Share Premium" reserve amounting to €9,478,290.49, which would thus decrease from the current €92,757,689.83 to €83,279,399.34;
so that, as a result, the three provisions together reach the total value of the equity valuation of the investment in the subsidiary Philochem A.G., recorded in the financial statements as of December 31, 2025, in the amount of €251,622,464.33.
In light of the foregoing, the Board of Directors further proposes the distribution of a dividend of €0.70 per share, gross of statutory withholding taxes, for each Phylogen share entitled to dividends as of the ex-dividend date, net, therefore, of
treasury shares held in the portfolio as of the record date pursuant to Article 83-terdecies of the Consolidated Law on Finance (the so-called record date), for an estimated total amount of €28,180,796, to be drawn from the "Retained Earnings/(Losses)" reserve amounting to €30,562,894.06.
The estimated total amount of €28,180,796 is calculated based on the 40,258,280 shares entitled to dividends as of the date of this Report (28,890,030 ordinary shares and 11,368,250 Class B special shares), without taking into account the 352,831 treasury shares held in the portfolio, it being understood that the final total amount actually allocated to the payment of the dividend will be calculated based on the number of shares (common and Class B special shares) entitled to dividends as of the ex-dividend date.
It should be noted that, if on the ex-dividend date the Company did not hold any treasury shares and therefore the dividend were distributed to all 40,611,111 shares comprising the share capital, for a total amount of €28,427,778, the "Retained Earnings/(Losses)" reserve would remain sufficient.
The Board of Directors states that:
- the distribution of the available reserve as a dividend, as proposed in this report, represents a form of remuneration for the Shareholders' investment in the Company;
- the distribution in the amount indicated does not compromise the Company's balance sheet, financial, and economic stability;
- the payment of the dividend through the distribution of the aforementioned reserve will be made using available cash, without the need to resort to financing;
- the Company's statutory reserve has exceeded the legal limit set forth in Article 2430 of the Italian Civil Code.
If the dividend distribution proposed in this report is approved by the Shareholders' Meeting, it is proposed that the dividend be paid starting on May 20, 2026, with a record date of May 19, 2026, and an ex-dividend date of May 18, 2026.
Accounting Principles
34. Valuation Criteria
These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost method, with the exception of financial instruments, which are measured at fair value at each reporting date.
These financial statements have also been prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors' assessment of this assumption takes into account the Company's current development strategies, its financial and equity position, and the possibility of revising the timing and structure of its development strategy, as well as its ability to secure the financial resources necessary to continue its operations, including through the licensing of certain proprietary products to third parties via out-licensing agreements.
35. Principal accounting policies
Basis of Preparation
The financial statements consist of the mandatory financial statements required by IAS 1. All statements comply with the minimum content requirements of international accounting standards and applicable regulations established by national legislation and Consob. The financial statements used are deemed adequate for the purpose of fairly presenting the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows; in particular, it is believed that the income statements reclassified by nature provide reliable and relevant information for the purpose of accurately presenting the Company's financial performance. The financial statements comprising the Financial Statements are as follows:
Statement of Financial Position
The statement is presented by separately showing 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 from the balance sheet date.
An asset or liability is classified as current when it meets one of the following criteria:
ii) it is expected to be realized or settled, or is expected to be sold or used in the Company's normal operating cycle;
iii) it is held principally for trading;
iv) it is expected to be realized or settled within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
If none of these three conditions are met, the assets/liabilities are classified as non-current.
Costs are classified by nature, highlighting the results relating to operating profit and profit before taxes.
Statement of Comprehensive Income
The statement includes the components that constitute the net income for the year and the expenses and income recognized directly in equity for transactions other than those with shareholders.
Statement of Changes in Equity
The statement shows the changes in equity items relating to:
- the allocation of the Company's and subsidiaries' net income for the year to minority shareholders;
- amounts relating to transactions with shareholders (purchase and sale of treasury shares);
vi) each item of profit and loss, net of any tax effects, which, as required by IFRS, are either recognized directly in equity (gains or losses from the purchase and sale of treasury shares, actuarial gains and losses arising from the valuation of defined benefit plans) or are offset against an equity reserve (share-based payments for incentive plans);
vii) changes in valuation reserves for derivative instruments hedging future cash flows, net of any tax effect.
Statement of Cash Flows
The statement is presented using the indirect method, whereby net income is adjusted for the effects of non-cash transactions, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating receipts or payments, and items of revenue or expense related to cash flows arising from investing or financing activities.
Income and expenses related to interest, dividends received, and income taxes are included in cash flows based on the type of underlying transaction that generated them.
Cash and cash equivalents included in the cash flow statement comprise the balance sheet balances of this item as of the reporting date. Cash flows in foreign currencies have been converted at the average exchange rate for the period.
Cash equivalents are those held to meet short-term cash obligations, rather than for investment or other purposes. For an investment to be considered a cash equivalent, it must be readily convertible into a known amount of cash and must be subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Cash equivalents include short-term time deposits.
Foreign Currency
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the Company's functional currency at the exchange rate in effect on the date of the transaction.
Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies at the end of the fiscal year are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate in effect on that date. Non-monetary items 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 measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising from translation are generally recognized in profit or loss for the year under financial expenses.
Foreign Operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from the acquisition, are translated into euros using the exchange rate in effect at the end of the fiscal year. Revenues and costs of foreign operations are converted into euros using the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. Exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and included in the translation reserve, except for exchange differences attributable to minority interests. When the Company disposes of an interest in a foreign operation, in whole or in part, in such a way as to lose control, significant influence, or joint control over it, the amount accumulated in the translation reserve relating to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit/(loss) for the year to adjust the profit or loss arising from the disposal.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract with the customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers control of the goods or services.
IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" defines the criteria for recognizing and measuring revenue arising from contracts with customers. In general, IFRS 15 requires revenue to be recognized 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) identification of the contract with the customer;
(ii) identification of the performance obligations (i.e., the 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) recognition of revenue when the related performance obligation is satisfied.
The Company's revenue derives primarily from license agreements and contracts for the performance of research and development services commissioned by customers.
With regard to contracts for the granting of license rights to the Company's intellectual property, the first step is to analyze whether the granting of the license right is distinguishable from other performance obligations. The Group recognizes separate performance obligations when:
- the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or in combination with other readily available resources;
- the promise to transfer an asset or service is identifiable separately from the other promises in the contract.
If it is determined that the granting of the license 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 performance obligation.
If, on the other hand, it is determined that the grant of the license is distinct from the promise to transfer other goods or services, the Company analyzes whether the customer obtains a right of access or a right of use to the intellectual property. The customer has a right of access to the Company's intellectual property if all of the following conditions are met:
- The contract requires, or the customer expects, the Company to perform activities that have a significant impact on the intellectual property;
- Such activities, when performed, do not transfer distinct goods or services to the customer;
- The rights arising from the license expose the customer to positive or negative effects on the Company's activities with respect to the intellectual property.
If the grant of the license right confers a right of access to intellectual property, revenue is recognized over the term of such right ("over time"). Conversely, if the license constitutes a right to use the intellectual property, the related revenue is recognized at the time such right is granted ("at a point in time").
The following table summarizes the main fees and related payment terms covered by the Company's license agreements:
| Type of consideration | Accounting Treatment |
|---|---|
| Up-front Fees | These represent fees received in advance upon the execution of the contract. If related to the granting of license rights, they are recognized: |
| 1. at a point in time, if they constitute rights to use intellectual property; | |
| 2. over time, if they constitute rights of access to intellectual property. | |
| If no specific goods or services transferred to the customer are identified at the time the up-front fee is collected, such collection constitutes an advance payment and is recognized as revenue in the future when the performance obligations are satisfied (“over time”). | |
| The Company issues an invoice for the up-front fee upon signing the contract. This invoice is typically due within 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 performance obligations, it is recognized as a right to use intellectual property, 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 other performance obligations, such payment constitutes an advance and is recognized as revenue over time as the performance obligations are satisfied. | |
| The Company issues an invoice for the commercial option fee upon notification by the customer of its intention to exercise said option. This invoice is typically due within 30 days. The payment terms do not provide for trade discounts. | |
| Milestones | These represent variable payments contingent upon the achievement of certain significant milestones in product development (e.g., the start of Phase III clinical trials). Upon signing the contract, management assesses whether the achievement of the milestones is highly probable and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price using the “most likely amount” method. If it is probable that no subsequent significant reversal of revenue will occur, the value of the milestone is included in the transaction price. |
| Payments linked to events that are not within the Company’s control and that typically depend on obligations to be fulfilled by the counterparty (such as product approval by regulatory authorities or the completion of research phases conducted by the customer) are not considered highly probable until there is certainty that the milestone has been 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 total transaction price. | |
| The Company issues an invoice for the milestone upon notification by the customer of the achievement of the objective/event. Such invoice is typically due within 30 days. Payment terms do not include trade discounts. | |
| Royalties (based on sales) | The Company recognizes revenue from sales-based royalties 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 performance obligation to which the sales-based royalty has been allocated, in whole or in part. |
| --- | --- |
With regard to other performance obligations contained in the 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 such activities over time as the performance obligation is satisfied, provided that one of the following criteria is met:
i. the customer simultaneously receives and uses the benefits arising from the service performed by the Company as the Company performs it;
ii. the service performed by the Company creates or enhances an asset controlled by the customer as the asset is created or enhanced;
iii. the service does not create an asset that has an alternative use for the Company, and the Company has a enforceable right to payment for the service completed up to the date in question.
If none of the criteria listed above are met, the performance obligation is considered fulfilled at the time the good or service is transferred, and the related revenue is recognized at a point in time.
Government grants
Unrestricted government grants are recognized in profit/(loss) for the period as other income when the grant becomes receivable. Other government grants related to assets are initially recognized at fair value as deferred revenue if there is reasonable certainty that they will be received and that the Group will meet the conditions required for their receipt, and are then recognized in profit or 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 presented in the balance sheet under current and non-current assets based on their potential for use.
Grants intended to offset costs incurred by the Group are recognized in profit/(loss) for the period on a systematic basis, to be matched in the same period against the costs the grant is intended to offset.
Recognition of Costs
Costs are recognized when they relate to goods and services purchased or consumed during the period or through systematic allocation in accordance with the economic and temporal accrual basis.
Financial income and expenses
Financial income and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis based on the interest accrued on the net carrying amount of the related financial assets and liabilities using the effective interest rate.
Financial expenses are recognized on an accrual basis and recorded in the income statement in the period in which they accrue.
Financial income is recognized based on the effective rate of return in accordance with the accrual principle.
Taxes
The tax expense for the period includes current and deferred taxes recognized in profit/(loss) for the period, except for those related to business combinations or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
The Company has determined that interest and penalties related to income taxes, including the accounting treatment to be applied to income taxes of an uncertain nature, are accounted for in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities, and Contingent Assets, as 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 the taxable income or tax loss for the year, as well as any adjustments to prior-year taxes. The amount of taxes payable or receivable, determined based on tax rates in effect or substantially in effect as of the balance sheet date, also includes the best estimate of any portion payable or receivable that is subject to uncertainty. 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 respect to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities reported in the financial statements and their corresponding tax bases. Deferred taxes are not recognized for:
- temporary differences arising from 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 the 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 utilized. Future taxable income is determined based on the reversal of the related deductible temporary differences. If the amount of taxable temporary differences is insufficient to fully recognize a deferred tax asset, future taxable income—adjusted for the reversal of existing temporary differences—as projected in the Company's business plan is taken into account. The value of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each year-end and is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. Such reductions must be reversed when the probability of achieving future taxable income increases.
Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each fiscal year and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that the Company will generate sufficient future taxable income to utilize them.
Deferred taxes are measured using the tax rates expected to apply to temporary differences in the period in which they reverse, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted as of the balance sheet date, and reflect any uncertainties regarding income taxes.
The measurement of deferred taxes reflects the tax consequences arising from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the fiscal year, to recover or settle the carrying amount of assets and liabilities. The presumption that the carrying amount of investment property measured at fair value will be recovered entirely through a sale 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 operating activities that generate recurring revenue and by other income and expenses related to operating activities. Net financial expenses and income taxes are excluded from operating income.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share were calculated based on net income attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the fiscal year.
Diluted earnings per share were calculated based on the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the fiscal year, taking into account the effects of all potential ordinary shares with a dilutive effect. The dilutive effect of potential ordinary shares was calculated using the treasury share method provided for in IAS 33.
Property, plant, and equipment
iii) Recognition and measurement
An item of property, plant, and equipment is measured at cost, including capitalized interest, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
If an item of property, plant, and equipment consists of various components with different useful lives, those components are accounted for separately (significant components).
The gain or loss arising from the disposal of an item of property, plant, and equipment is recognized in profit/(loss) for the year, under the headings “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, net of its estimated residual value, on a straight-line basis over the item's useful life. Depreciation is generally recognized in profit/(loss) for the year under the heading “Depreciation.” Land is not depreciated.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
| Category | Rate |
|---|---|
| Buildings | 3% |
| Plant and equipment | 20% |
| Industrial and commercial equipment | 15% |
| Passenger cars | 25% |
| Furniture and furnishings | 12% |
| Improvements to third-party property | 8% |
Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at the end of the fiscal year and adjusted as necessary.
Intangible assets
iv) Recognition and measurement
Research and development: Research expenses are recognized in profit or loss for the period in which they are incurred. Development costs are capitalized only if the cost attributable to the asset during its development can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete the development and to use or sell the asset. Other development costs are recognized in profit or loss for the period in which they are incurred. Capitalized development costs are carried at cost, net of accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
If all capitalization requirements are not met, the costs incurred by the Company 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 with a finite useful life are recorded at cost, net of accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
v) Subsequent costs
Subsequent costs 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 profit/(loss) in the period in which they are incurred.
vi) Amortization
Amortization is recognized in profit/(loss) for the year on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the intangible assets, starting from when the asset is available for use.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
| Category | Average rate |
|---|---|
| Patent rights and intellectual property rights | 5% |
| Concessions, licenses, trademarks, and similar rights | 10% |
Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at each fiscal year-end and adjusted as necessary.
Right-of-use assets
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 confers 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 containing a lease component, the Company allocates the contract consideration to each lease component based on its stand-alone price.
At the lease commencement date, the Company recognizes the right-of-use asset and the lease liability. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, comprising the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, adjusted for lease payments due and made on or before the commencement date, plus initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of the costs the lessee will incur for the dismantling and removal of the underlying asset or for the restoration of the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, net of lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is amortized on a straight-line basis from the commencement 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, it is expected that the Company will exercise the purchase option. In such a case, the right-of-use asset is amortized over the useful life of the underlying asset, determined on the same basis as that for property and equipment. Furthermore, the right-of-use asset is regularly reduced by any impairment losses and adjusted to reflect any changes arising from subsequent measurements of the lease liability.
The Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments due but not yet paid as of the commencement date, discounting them using the implicit interest rate of the lease. Where it is not possible to readily determine such a rate, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
The Company's incremental borrowing rate is calculated based on interest rates obtained from various external financing sources, with certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and the type of leased asset.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise:
- fixed payments (including payments that are substantially fixed);
- variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using an index or rate as of the lease commencement date;
- amounts expected to be paid as a residual value guarantee; and
- the exercise price of a purchase option that the Company has a high degree of certainty will exercise, lease payments due during an optional renewal period if the Company has a high degree of certainty will exercise the renewal option, and early termination penalties, unless the Company has a high degree of certainty will not terminate the lease early.
The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method and is remeasured in the event of a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or rate, in the event of a change in the amount the Company expects to pay as a residual value guarantee, or when the Company revises its assessment regarding whether to exercise a purchase, extension, or termination option, or in the event of a revision of lease payments that are substantively fixed.
When the lease liability is remeasured, the lessee makes a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use asset. If the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero, the lessee recognizes the change in profit or loss for the period.
The Company has applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective application method as of January 1, 2019.
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Company has decided not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to low-value assets and short-term leases, including IT equipment. The Company recognizes the related lease payments as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures, and associates
Investments in subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method, as permitted by IAS 27 and in accordance with IAS 28 (Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures).
Subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures are included in the financial statements from the date on which control, significant influence, or joint control begins and until such time as this situation ceases to exist.
The financial statements of subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures are appropriately adjusted and reclassified, where necessary, to conform to international accounting standards and the uniform classification criteria applied within the Group.
Under 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 reflect the investor's share of the investee's profits or losses realized after the acquisition date. The investor's share of the investee's profit (loss) for the period is recognized in the separate income statement. Dividends received from an investee reduce the carrying amount of the investment. Adjustments to the carrying amount of the investment are also due to changes in items in the investee's statement of 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 ceases to recognize its share of further losses. After writing off the investment, further losses are accrued and recognized as a liability only to the extent that the entity has incurred constructive legal obligations or has made payments on behalf of the subsidiary, associate, or joint venture. If the subsidiary, associate, or joint venture subsequently generates profits, the entity resumes recognizing its share of those profits only after they have offset its share of unrecognized losses. Gains and losses arising from "upstream" and "downstream" 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 profits and losses of the subsidiary, associate, or joint venture resulting from such transactions is eliminated in the income statement line item "income from investments," with a corresponding entry for 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 investment is subject to the impairment test procedure described in the section "Impairment," to which reference should be made for further details.
Finally, it should be noted 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 purposes of applying the equity method, the financial statements of each foreign entity are expressed in euros, which is the functional currency of Phylogen S.p.A. and the presentation currency of the separate financial statements.
All assets and liabilities of foreign entities denominated in currencies other than the euro are translated using the exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date (current exchange rate method). Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the fiscal year. Translation differences resulting from the application of this method, as well as translation differences resulting from the comparison between opening equity converted at current exchange rates and the same converted at historical exchange rates, are recognized in comprehensive income and accumulated in a separate equity reserve until the disposal of the investment.
The exchange rates used to convert the financial statements of subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures into euros are shown in the table below:
| Currency | Spot Exchange Rate December 31, 2025 | Average Exchange Rate December 31, 2025 | Spot Exchange Rate December 31, 2024 | Average Exchange Rate as of December 31, 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Swiss Franc | 0.9314 | 0.93714 | 0.9412 | 0.9526 |
Inventory
Inventories are valued at the lower of purchase or production cost and net realizable value. Purchase cost refers to the actual purchase price plus incidental charges. The purchase cost of materials includes, in addition to the price of the materials, transportation costs, customs duties, other taxes, and other costs directly attributable to those materials. Returns, trade discounts, rebates, and bonuses are deducted from costs. Production cost refers to all direct and indirect costs reasonably attributable to the product for the period of manufacture and up to the point at which the asset can be used, calculated on the basis of normal production capacity. The realizable value based on market trends is equal to the estimated selling price of goods and finished products in the ordinary course of business, net of estimated costs to complete and direct selling costs. In determining the realizable value based on market trends, account is taken, among other things, of the obsolescence rate and inventory turnover. 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 portion of overhead expenses determined based on normal production capacity.
Financial Instruments
iv) Recognition and Measurement
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, i.e., when the Company becomes a party to the financial instrument.
With the exception of 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, 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 measured at their transaction price.
Classification and Subsequent Measurement
Financial assets:
Upon initial recognition, a financial asset is classified based on its measurement: amortized cost; fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) – debt instrument; FVOCI – equity instrument; or fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).
Financial assets are not reclassified after initial recognition, unless the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets. In that case, all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first fiscal year following the change in the business model.
A financial asset must be measured at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met and it is not designated as FVTPL:
- the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets for the purpose of collecting the related contractual cash flows; and
- the contractual terms of the financial asset provide for cash flows on specified dates consisting solely of payments of principal and interest on the principal amount to be repaid.
A financial asset shall be measured at FVOCI if both of the following conditions are met and it is not designated as FVTPL:
- the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and by selling financial assets; and
- the contractual terms of the financial asset provide for cash flows on specified dates consisting solely of payments of principal and interest on the principal amount to be repaid.
Upon initial recognition of an equity instrument not held for trading, the Company may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income. This election is made on an asset-by-asset basis.
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or at 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 mismatch that would otherwise result from measuring the financial asset at amortized cost or at FVOCI.
Financial Assets: Business Model Assessment
With specific reference to the Business Model, IFRS 9 identifies three different business models, which in turn reflect the ways in which financial assets are managed:
- “Held to Collect”: a business model that includes financial assets held with the objective of collecting the contractual cash flows, retaining the financial instrument until maturity;
- “Held to Collect and Sell”: a business model that includes financial assets held with the objective of both realizing contractual cash flows over the life of the asset and collecting proceeds from its sale;
- “Other”: a business model that includes financial instruments not classifiable in the preceding categories, primarily consisting of financial assets held for the purpose of realizing cash flows through sale (assets held for trading).
The business model therefore represents the manner in which the Company manages its financial assets, that is, the manner in which it intends to generate cash flows from them.
The Company assesses the objective of the business model under which the financial asset is held at the portfolio level, as this best reflects how the asset is managed and the information reported to management. This information includes:
- the stated criteria and objectives of the portfolio and the practical application of those criteria, including, among other things, whether management’s strategy is based on earning interest income from the contract, maintaining a specific interest rate profile, aligning the duration of financial assets with that of related liabilities, or on expected cash flows or on generating cash flows through the sale of assets;
- the methods used to evaluate the portfolio’s performance and the methods used to communicate performance to the Company’s senior management;
- the risks affecting the performance of the business model (and of the financial assets held within the business model) and how those risks are managed;
- the methods for compensating the company’s executives (for example, whether compensation is based on the fair value of managed assets or on contractual cash flows collected); and
- the frequency, value, and timing of sales of financial assets in prior periods, the reasons for the sales, and expectations regarding future sales.
Transfers of financial assets to third parties in transactions that do not result in derecognition are not considered sales for the purposes of assessing the business model, consistent with the Company’s continued recognition of such assets on its balance sheet.
Financial assets that meet the definition of financial assets held for trading or whose performance is evaluated based on fair value are measured at FVTPL.
Financial assets: assessment to determine whether contractual cash flows consist solely of principal and interest payments.
For valuation purposes, ‘principal’ is the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition, while ‘interest’ represents the consideration for the time value of money, for the credit risk associated with the principal amount to be repaid over a given period of time, and for other basic risks and costs associated with the loan (for example, 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 other things, whether the financial asset contains a contractual clause that modifies the timing or amount of the contractual cash flows such that it does not satisfy the following condition. For the purposes of this assessment, the Company considers:
- contingent events that would alter the timing or amount of cash flows;
- clauses that could adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable-rate components;
- prepayment and extension features; and clauses that limit the Company's claims for cash flows from specific assets (e.g., non-recourse features).
The prepayment feature is consistent with the criterion of "cash flows consisting solely of principal and interest payments" when the amount of the prepayment substantially represents the unpaid principal and interest accrued on the principal amount to be repaid, which may include reasonable compensation for early termination of the contract. Furthermore, in the case of a financial asset acquired at a significant premium or discount to the contractual nominal amount, a component that permits or requires an prepayment equal to an amount that substantially represents the contractual nominal amount plus accrued contractual interest (but unpaid) (which may include reasonable compensation for early termination of the contract) is accounted for in accordance with that criterion if the fair value of the prepayment element is not significant at the time of initial recognition.
Financial Assets: Subsequent Measurement and Gains and Losses
| Financial assets measured at FVTPL | These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including dividends or interest received, are recognized in profit or loss for the period. |
|---|---|
| Financial assets measured at amortized cost | These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost in accordance with the effective interest method. Amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, and impairment losses are recognized in net income for the year, as are any gains or losses from derecognition. |
| Debt securities measured at FVOCI | These assets, provided they pass 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, the gains or losses accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit/(loss) for the year. |
| Equity securities measured at FVOCI | These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized in net income for the year unless they clearly represent a recovery of part of the investment cost. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to net income for the year. |
Financial liabilities: classification, subsequent measurement, 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, is 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 net income/(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 profit/(loss) for the year, as are any gains or losses arising from derecognition.
v) Accounting elimination
Financial assets
Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows arising from them expire, when the contractual rights to receive cash flows under a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred, or when the Company 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 Company is involved in transactions that involve 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 discharged or canceled, or has expired. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability in the event of a change in the related contractual terms, provided that the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different. In such a case, a new financial liability is recognized at fair value based on the modified contractual terms.
The difference between the carrying amount of the extinguished financial liability and the consideration paid (including non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss for the period.
vi) Offsetting
Financial assets and liabilities may be offset, and the resulting net amount is presented in the statement of financial position if, and only if, the Company currently has a legal right to offset such amounts and intends to settle the balance on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Impairment losses
v) Financial instruments and assets arising from contracts
The Company recognizes impairment provisions for expected credit losses related to:
- financial assets measured at amortized cost;
- debt securities measured at FVOCI; and
- contract assets.
In addition, the Company recognizes allowances for expected losses over the entire term of the receivables implicit in lease contracts under trade receivables and other receivables.
The Company measures impairment allowances at an amount equal to expected losses over the entire life of the receivable, except as noted below, for the following twelve months:
- debt securities with low credit risk as of the balance sheet date; and
- other debt securities and bank accounts whose credit risk (i.e., the risk of default over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not significantly increased since initial recognition.
Allowances for trade receivables (including those related to leases) and contract assets are always measured at an amount equal to the expected losses over the entire life of the receivable.
To determine whether the credit risk associated with a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition for the purpose of estimating expected credit losses, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes quantitative and qualitative information and analyses based on the Company's historical experience, credit assessments, and forward-looking information.
Expected credit losses over the long term are expected credit losses arising from all possible defaults over the expected life of a financial instrument.
12-month expected credit losses are the expected credit losses arising from possible defaults within twelve months of the balance sheet 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.
Measurement of expected credit losses
Expected credit losses (ECL) are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are the present value of all shortfalls in collections (i.e., the difference between the cash flows due to the entity under the contract and the cash flows the Company expects to receive).
ECLs are discounted using the effective interest method for the financial asset.

Non-financial assets
Financial Report as of December 31, 2025
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence of impairment with respect to the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets, excluding investment property, inventory, contract assets, and deferred tax assets. If, based on this assessment, it appears that the assets have indeed suffered an impairment, the Company estimates their recoverable amount.
Share Capital
In accordance with IAS 32, common shares and other shares issued by the Company are classified as equity instruments.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of common shares are recognized as a reduction in equity. Income taxes related to the transaction costs of an equity transaction are recognized in accordance with IAS 12.
Provisions
The amount of provisions is represented by 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 risks specific to the liability.
Employee Benefits
Effective January 1, 2007, the 2007 Budget Law and its implementing decrees introduced significant changes to the rules governing severance pay (TFR), including the employee's choice regarding the allocation of accruing severance pay to supplementary pension funds or to the "Treasury Fund" managed by INPS. Consequently, the obligation to INPS and contributions to supplementary pension schemes are classified, in accordance with IAS 19, as "defined contribution plans," while the amounts allocated to severance pay retain the classification 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 benefits that employees have earned in exchange for service rendered in the current and prior periods; this benefit is discounted to present value, and the fair value of any plan assets is deducted from the liabilities.
The calculation is performed by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. If the calculation results in a gain for the Company, the amount of the asset recognized is limited to the present value of the economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future plan contributions. To determine the present value of the economic benefits, the minimum funding requirements applicable to any of the Company's plans are considered.
Actuarial gains and losses, returns on plan assets (excluding interest), and the effect of the asset ceiling (excluding any interest) arising from revaluations 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 liability/(asset), the discount rate used to discount the defined benefit obligation, determined at the beginning of the year, taking into account 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 are instead recognized in profit/(loss) for the year.
When changes are made to a plan's benefits or when a plan is curtailed, the portion of the economic benefit relating to past service or the gain or loss arising from the curtailment is recognized in profit or loss for the year when the amendment or curtailment occurs.
Share-based payments
The fair value at the grant date of incentives recognized in equity-settled share-based payment transactions granted to employees is typically recognized as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period during which employees vest in the incentives. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of incentives for which the conditions of continued service and achievement of non-market performance have been met, so that the final amount recognized as an expense is based on the number of incentives that satisfy those conditions at the vesting date. In the case of incentives granted in the form of equity-based payments whose conditions are not considered vesting conditions, the fair value as of the grant date of the equity-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions.
With respect to non-vesting conditions, any differences between the assumptions made at the grant date and the actual outcomes will have no impact on the financial statements.
The fair value of the amount to be paid to employees in connection with cash-settled share appreciation rights is recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in liabilities over the period during which employees earn the unconditional right to receive the payment. The liability is measured at each balance sheet date and at the settlement date based on the fair value of the share appreciation rights. Any changes in the fair value of the liability are recognized in profit or loss for the period.
Fair Value Measurements
Various accounting standards and certain disclosure requirements require the Company to measure the fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. In measuring the fair value of an asset or liability, the Company uses observable market data to the extent possible. Fair values are categorized into various hierarchical levels based on the input data used in the valuation techniques, as illustrated below.
- Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
- Level 2: Input data other than the quoted prices referred to in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).
- Level 3: input data relating to the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
Fair value is the price that would be received on the measurement date for the sale of an asset or paid for the transfer of a liability in an arm's-length 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 default risk.
Where available, the Company determines the fair value of an instrument using the quoted price of that instrument in an active market. A market is active when transactions involving the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide useful information for pricing on an ongoing basis.
In the absence of a quoted price in an active market, the Company uses valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The chosen valuation technique incorporates all factors that market participants would consider in estimating the transaction price.
If a financial asset or liability measured at fair value has a bid price and an ask price, the Company measures long and net asset positions at the bid price and short and net liability positions at the ask price.
The best evidence of the fair value of a financial instrument at the time of initial recognition is usually the transaction price (i.e., the fair value of the consideration given or received). If the Company notes 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 immaterial, 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. Subsequently, this difference is recognized in profit or loss over the life of the instrument using an appropriate method, but no later than the point at which the measurement is fully supported by observable market data or the transaction is settled.
Operating Segment
IFRS 8—Operating Segments—defines an operating segment as a component:
- that involves business activities generating revenue and costs;
- whose operating results are reviewed periodically at the highest decision-making level;
- for which separate financial information is available.
The Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is 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 agreements, and products, in order to monitor business performance and make the necessary decisions.
In this regard, the Company's management has identified a single business segment. The essentially homogeneous nature of the business, together with the progress of projects currently under development, does not allow for a division into multiple sectors subject to risks and benefits distinct from those of other business sectors. Furthermore, the services provided, the nature of the production processes, and the customer base by product do not allow for the Company's operations to be divided into different business segments. Therefore, the Company believes that, at present, financial reporting by business segment and geographic region would not provide a better representation or understanding of the business or its risks and benefits.
Changes to International Accounting Standards, Interpretations, and Amendments:
The following are the new accounting standards, interpretations, and improvements issued by the IASB and adopted as of January 1, 2025:
- Amendments to IAS 21 – Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation – (effective from January 1, 2025);
This amendment had no impact on the Group.
Accounting standards published but not yet adopted:
The following are the new accounting standards applicable to fiscal years beginning after January 1, 2025, for which early adoption is permitted. However, the Company has decided not to adopt them early for the preparation of these financial statements:
- Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 – Amendments to the classification and measurement of financial investments (effective January 1, 2026);
- Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 – Contracts related to weather-dependent electricity (effective from January 1, 2026).
- IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (mandatory application effective January 1, 2027);
IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and will be effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2027. The new accounting standard introduces the following changes:
- Entities must classify all items of revenue and expenses into the following five categories in the statement of profit or loss: operating activities, investing activities, financing activities, discontinued operations, and income taxes. In addition, entities must present operating profit or loss, as defined by IFRS 18, as a new subtotal. Entities' profit/(loss) for the year will remain unchanged;
- Management performance measures (MPMs) must be disclosed in a single note to the financial statements;
- The standard provides specific guidance on how to aggregate and disaggregate information in the financial statements.
In addition, all entities must use the operating profit subtotal as the starting point for the cash flow statement when it is presented using the indirect method.
- IFRS 19 – Subsidiaries without public accountability: disclosures (effective January 1, 2027).
- Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 – Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (effective date to be determined)
The Company has not early adopted any standard, interpretation, or improvement that has been issued but is not yet effective.
The Company is still evaluating the potential impact of adopting the new standards listed above, but a preliminary assessment indicates no significant impact on the financial statements.
With regard to the impact of applying the new IFRS 18 accounting standard, particularly on the structure of the income statement and cash flow statement, as well as on the additional disclosures required for MPMs, the Company is evaluating the effect of how information is aggregated and disaggregated in the financial statements, including with respect to items currently classified as "other."
