What drove revenue

Genmab collaboration option/licence exercise fees (non-recurring)

£4.7 million ($6 million) of licence revenue recognised in FY2025 (2024: nil) following Genmab's exercise of its option under the second collaboration agreement (SC2811)

What moved the marginheadwind

R&D expenditure increase

R&D expenditure increased by £1.8 million to £14.7 million (2024: £12.9 million) due to SCOPE/ModiFY trial enrolment and iSCIB1+ manufacturing scale-up

Andtailwind

Lower administrative costs

Administrative expenditure decreased by £0.6 million to £4.8 million (2024: £5.4 million) due to lower professional fees and recruitment costs

One-offs in the year

£1.8m credit: Gain on substantial modification of convertible loan notes

page 46
What management said

iSCIB1+ has been selected for further development, expanding the potential addressable population to 80% of late-stage melanoma patients; regulatory and partnering discussions accelerated, with a randomised Phase 2/3 study on the path to registration anticipated to begin in 2026

After the year end

GlyMab Therapeutics Limited incorporated in June 2025 as a wholly owned subsidiary to hold and develop the early-stage GlyMab antibody pipeline (two candidates already licensed to and being developed by Genmab)

Going concern and the audit

Auditor RSM UK Audit LLP gave an unqualified true-and-fair opinion, not modified in respect of going concern, but drew attention to a material uncertainty: the Group's two-year cash flow forecast to April 2027 indicates it could operate with cash currently held only until August 2026 (less than 12 months from approval), reliant on inherently uncertain future revenue from new/existing collaboration agreements or additional shareholder/investor funding. Key audit matters were (1) going concern and (2) accounting for the substantial modification of convertible loan notes. Group materiality was £749,000; audit scope covered 100% of expenses, total assets and loss before tax

  • Future funding requirements and success of partnerships: the Group requires further funding (licensing, debt, equity, or partial business sale) to develop and commercialise its programmes; no guarantee such financing will be secured on favourable terms; material uncertainty relating to going concernp.14
  • Technology and products: as a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, pipeline products are early-stage with no guarantee they will meet clinical endpoints or gain regulatory approval; safety issues may halt trialsp.14
  • Product development timelines may suffer significant delays from patient recruitment or manufacturing/supply issues, requiring further financingp.14
