OPERATING RESULTS
Overview
We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing therapeutics that harness the body’s
natural regulatory mechanisms to stabilize the immune response in patients with chronic inflammatory diseases. Our
lead drug candidate, obefazimod, is currently being evaluated in the following indications:
•Ulcerative colitis (“UC”): Phase 3 clinical trials for the treatment of adults with moderately to severely
active UC are ongoing (“ABTECT”). On April 29, 2025, we announced that our ABTECT trials reached
full enrollment. Top-line results from the ABTECT 8-week induction trial are expected in the third quarter
of 2025, with the 44-week maintenance data read-out expected during the second quarter of 2026.
•Crohn’s disease (“CD”): On October 3, 2024, we announced the first patient enrolled in our ENHANCE-
CD Phase 2b clinical trial of obefazimod in patients with CD with the 12-week induction data read-out
expected in second half of 2026.
•Combination therapy: In September 2024, we announced initial preclinical combination data of obefazimod
combined with etrasimod in a mouse model of inflammatory bowel diseases (“IBD"). The results showed
that treatment with the combination improved the response on body weight protection and Disease Activity
Index and a synergistic and statistically significant reduction of several cytokines (TNFa, IL-17, IL-6,
IFNg) in the blood compared to each drug alone. Additional preclinical data to support our decision-making
on a combination agent is expected in 2025.
In addition, we have launched a research and development program to generate new potential drug candidates
to strengthen our intellectual property portfolio on the miR-124 platform and to identify additional drug candidates
from our proprietary small molecule library that includes additional miR-124 enhancers. We expect to announce a
follow-on candidate selection in a new indication in the second half of 2025.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, our total operating income was €1.0 million, as compared to
€1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of (16)% as detailed below.
Other Operating Income
The following table sets forth our other operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and
2025.

Research Tax Credits
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized research tax credits for our research and
development projects of €1.0 million, as compared to €1.15 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Although research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased by 10% as
compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, there was no significant variation in research tax credits during
the period due to the maximum amount of eligible outsourced research and development expenses being capped and
internal research and development costs being stable.
Total Operating Expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, our total operating expenses were €48.2 million, as compared to
€45.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of €2.3 million, or 5%. This increase was
primarily due to an increase in research and development expenses of €3.6 million partially offset by a decrease in
sales and marketing expenses by €1.1 million, each as described below.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, our total sales and marketing expenses were €0.9 million, as
compared to €2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of €1.1 million. The decrease was
predominantly driven by a reduction in non-critical expenses to manage our cash expenses.
Research and Development Expenses
The following table sets forth our research and development expenses by drug candidate and therapeutic
indication for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2025.
| (In thousands of euros) | Three-Month<br><br>Ended March<br><br>31, 2024 | Three-Month<br><br>Ended March<br><br>31, 2025 | % 2024<br><br>Change |

| Others ..................................................................................................... | 1,305 | 564 | (57)% |
| Research and development expenses ................................................... | €35,744 | €39,301 | 10% |
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, our research and development expenses were €39.3 million, as
compared to €35.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of €3.6 million, or 10%. This
increase was primarily due to a €3.0 million increase in expenses related to our CD program, resulting from the
progression of our Phase 2b trials in CD, and a €2.7 million increase in transversal activities related to the overall
expansion of the research and development headcount to support our organizational growth and the issuance of new
equity awards to officers and employees in research and development. These were partially offset by a €1.3 million,
or 4%, decrease in expenses related to our UC clinical program.

General and Administrative Expenses
| (In thousands of euros) | Three-Month<br><br>Ended March<br><br>31, 2024 | Three-Month<br><br>Ended March<br><br>31, 2025 | % 2024<br><br>Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Personnel costs ..................................................................................... | 5,274 | 4,688 | (11)% |
| Consulting and professional fees .......................................................... | 1,517 | 1,935 | 28% |
| Other general and administrative expenses .......................................... | 1,345 | 1,410 | 5% |
| General and administrative expenses ............................................... | 8,136 | 8,033 | (1)% |
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, our general and administrative expenses were €8.0 million, as
compared to €8.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of €0.1 million, or 1%. This
decrease was primarily due to a decrease in personnel costs of €0.6 million, or 11%, mainly resulting from the
expense recognition pattern of equity awards granted to certain of our officers and employees, many of which were
issued in connection with our U.S. initial public offering and listing on Nasdaq in October 2023, as well as strict
adherence to the approved budget, which includes savings through reducing non-essential spend. These were offset
by increased legal and professional fees and other costs associated with operating as a dual-listed public company.
Operating Loss
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, our net operating loss was €47.2 million, as compared to a net
operating loss of €44.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of €2.5 million, or 6%. This
increase was primarily due to an increase of €3.6 million in research and development expenses, partially offset by a
decrease of €1.1 million in sales and marketing expenses.
Financial Income (Loss)
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, our net financial loss was €5.2 million, as compared to a net
financial income of €1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, our net financial loss was mainly driven by interest expenses of
€3.5 million in relation to the first tranche of senior secured convertible bonds with warrants attached in the Kreos /
Claret Financing (the “Kreos / Claret OCABSA”), the second and third tranches of the senior secured bonds in the
Kreos / Claret Financing (drawn on March 28, 2024 and June 21, 2024 respectively) and the senior convertible notes
in the Heights Financing (the "Heights Convertible Notes"), non-cash expense of €1.0 million in relation to our
royalty certificates and foreign exchange losses of €1.0 million (including the €0.4 million non-cash impact of the
revaluation of U.S. dollar-denominated cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025). These costs were partially
offset mainly by interest income of €0.9 million in relation to the invested proceeds from our U.S. initial public
offering and listing on Nasdaq.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our net financial income was mainly driven by an interest income
of €2.5 million in relation to the invested proceeds from our U.S. initial public offering and listing on Nasdaq, a
decrease in the fair value of the senior convertible notes in the Heights Financing (the "Heights Convertible Notes")
of €1.6 million and foreign exchange gains of €1.6 million (including the €1.0 million non-cash impact of the
revaluation of U.S. dollar-denominated cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2024). This income was mainly
offset by interest expenses of €1.5 million in relation to the first tranche of senior secured convertible bonds with
warrants attached in the Kreos / Claret Financing (the “Kreos / Claret OCABSA”) and Heights Convertible Notes,
non-cash expense of €0.9 million in relation to our royalty certificates, a €1.2 million increase in the fair value of
derivatives and transaction costs amounting to €0.6 million.
12
Income Taxes
For each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, our income tax charge was zero.
Net Loss
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, our net loss for the period was €52.4 million, as compared to
€42.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of €9.5 million, or 22%.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
We have incurred substantial operating losses since inception and expect to continue to incur significant
operating losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. For the three month period ended
March 31, 2024 and 2025, we reported net losses of €42.9 million and €52.4 million, respectively. As of December
31, 2024, we carried forward accumulated tax losses of €609.4 million.
Since inception, we have financed our operations through the issuance of ordinary shares with gross aggregate
proceeds of €557.2 million, of which €130.0 million of gross proceeds were from offerings of our ordinary shares on
Euronext Paris in February 2023, €223.3 million of gross proceeds were from offering of our ordinary shares in the
form of ADS on the Nasdaq Global Market in our U.S. initial public offering as well as ordinary shares in Europe
(including France) and countries outside of the United States in a private placement in October 2023, bank
borrowings and structured loans for €175.0 million, reimbursements of CIR in an amount of €31.1 million, subsidies
received from Bpifrance (including €17.1 million of subsidies and €1.8 million of conditional advances) and royalty
certificates in an amount of €2.9 million.
Based on (a) our existing cash and cash equivalents of €103.6 million as of March 31, 2025, and (b) the
expected reimbursement of the CIR from 2024 in the second half of 2025 amounting to €5.7 million, we expect, as
of the date of issuance of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this
quarterly report, to be able to fund our forecasted cash flow requirements into the fourth quarter of 2025. Our
forecasted cash flow requirements take into account our assumption of substantially higher R&D expenditure in
2025 driven by the progression of the Phase 3 clinical trials of obefazimod in UC and the Phase 2b clinical trials for
CD. Under these assumptions and based on our current clinical and operational plans, we would have sufficient
funds to finance our operations through the announcement of our top-line data from the Phase 3 ABTECT-1 and
ABTECT-2 induction trials for UC expected in the third quarter of 2025.
We expect we will be able to extend our financing horizon beyond the fourth quarter of 2025 through
additional dilutive and non-dilutive financing, which could include a combination of capital increase, out-licensing
agreements, venture loans and convertible bonds.
On November 19, 2024, we filed a registration statement on Form F-3 with the SEC, which covers the
offering, issuance and sale, from time to time at prices and on terms to be determined at or prior to the time of the
offering, of up to $350.0 million of our ordinary shares, including ordinary shares represented by ADSs, as well
warrants to purchase ordinary shares or ADSs, individually or in any combination, of which $150.0 million may be
issued pursuant to our ATM Program (as defined below). Also on November 19, 2024, we entered into an equity
distribution agreement with Piper Sandler & Co. (“Piper Sandler”) allowing us to issue and sell from time to time, in
one or more "at the market" offerings through Piper Sandler acting as sales agent, ordinary shares in the form of
ADSs, each ADS representing one ordinary share, nominal value of €0.01 per share, with aggregate gross sales
proceeds of up to $150.0 million (the "ATM Program"). As of March 31, 2025, we have not sold any ADSs pursuant
to the ATM Program.
Based on the above, management has concluded that these factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern for a period of 12 months from the date of issuance of the financial statements
accompanying this quarterly report.
13
Capital Increases
During the three-month period ending March 31, 2025, there has been one capital increase relating to the
vesting of 70,912 AGAs, resulting in the issuance of 70,912 ordinary shares with a par value of €0.01 per share.
Research Tax Credits
From our inception to March 31, 2025, we have benefited from refunds of CIRs in a total amount of
€35.6 million. In November 2024, we received CIRs of €4.5 million with respect to the year ended December 31,
- We anticipate to receive CIRs of €5.7 million with respect to the year ended December 31, 2024 in the second
half of 2025.
Bpifrance—Conditional Advances and Subsidies
We have received several conditional advances and subsidies from Bpifrance since our inception. Funds
received from Bpifrance in the form of conditional advances are recognized as financial liabilities, as we have a
contractual obligation to reimburse Bpifrance for such conditional advances in cash based on a repayment schedule.
Each award of an advance is made to help fund a specific development milestone. Subsidies are non-repayable
grants, which are recognized in the financial statements when there exists reasonable assurance that we will comply
with the conditions attached to the subsidies and the subsidies will be received.
Bpifrance—CARENA Contract
As part of the development of therapeutic and diagnostic solutions targeting alternative splicing and RNA
interference in the fields of virology (HIV-AIDS, HTLV-1) and metabolism (obesity), SPLICOS, which we acquired
in October 2014, entered into a Master Support Agreement and a conditional advance contract in December 2013 for
the “CARENA” Strategic Industrial Innovation Project (“CARENA project”), with Bpifrance. Under this contract,
we were eligible to receive up to €3.8 million in conditional advances to develop a therapeutic HIV treatment
program with obefazimod. As of March 31, 2025, we had received €3.4 million of conditional advances and
subsidies.
In June 2024, the Company and Bpifrance agreed to terminate the project due to technical failure.
Bpifrance granted an additional amount of €1.1 million payable to the Company to reimburse additional expenses
incurred as part of the project, and agreed to waive 60% of the remaining conditional advance of €3.3 million and
accrued interests, for which we recognized a subsidy income of €2.3 million in the aggregate. We repaid the
outstanding amounts during the second half of 2024.
Bpifrance—RNP-VIR Contract
As part of the CARENA project, focused on the clinical development of a drug molecule and demonstrating
the validity of an innovative therapeutic approach targeting viral RNPs, we entered into a Master Support
Agreement with Bpifrance, as well as a beneficiary agreement dated March 21, 2017, with conditional advances for
the “RNP-VIR” structuring research and development project for competitiveness. Under the RNP-VIR contract, we
were eligible to receive up to €6.3 million in conditional advances to develop methods for the discovery of new
molecules for the treatment of viral infectious diseases through the development of the “Modulation of RNA
biogenesis” platform. As of March 31, 2025, we had received €3.9 million of conditional advances and subsidies.
In June 2024, the Company and Bpifrance agreed to terminate the project due to technical failure.
Bpifrance claimed the reimbursement of €1.2 million corresponding to overpayments of conditional advances and
subsidies (for which the Group had not incurred the corresponding R&D expenses) and agreed to waive 60% of the
remaining advances of €3.0 million and accrued interests, for which the we recognized a subsidy income of €1.9
million in the aggregate. We repaid the outstanding amounts during the second half of 2024.
Bpifrance—Ebola
The Bpifrance and Occitanie Region joint support agreement was entered into on June 2, 2017 and provides
for conditional advances for a total amount of €0.4 million (€0.1 million from the Languedoc Roussillon Midi
Pyrénées Region and €0.3 million from Bpifrance) for the Ebola program. All funds under this contract were
received. In September 2019, we terminated this program due to the imminent licensing of a competing vaccine for
this indication, as well as changes in the macroeconomic climate for public funding. The reimbursement of the
conditional advance was spread over the period from September 2019 to June 2024.

2024 Annual Report on Form 20-F.
During the three month period ending March 31, 2025, we did not enter into any new financing agreements.
Historical Changes in Cash Flows
The following table sets forth our cash inflows and outflows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and
2025.

Operating Activities

compared to €(34.8) million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of (1.5) million, or (4)%. Net
cash used in both periods was predominantly related to payments for the progression of our UC and CD trials,
personnel, legal, professional and infrastructure costs associated with operating as a dual-listed public company.
Investing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, cash provided by investing activities was €1.1 million and was
mainly due to interest received of €1.0 million.
For three months ended March 31, 2024, cash provided by investing activities was €1.9 million and was
mainly composed of interest received of €2.5 million payments, partially offset by the payment of deposits of €0.5
million related to the drawdown on tranche B of the senior secured non-convertible bonds from the Kreos / Claret
Financing.
Financing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, cash used in financing activities was €(7.8) million, which
consisted of repayments of €6.1 million (of which €3.7 million under the tranches B and C of the Kreos / Claret
Financing and €2.2 million under the Heights convertible notes) and interest payments of €2.0 million.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, cash provided by financing activities was €21.2 million which
consisted of the drawdown on tranche B (in an amount of €25 million) of the senior secured non-convertible bonds
from the Kreos / Claret Financing, net of disbursed transaction costs (in an amount of €0.4 million), partially offset
15
by repayments of €2.4 million (of which €2.2 million under the Heights convertible notes) and interest payments of
€1.1 million.
Material Cash Requirements
Contractual Obligations and Loans
The following table sets forth aggregate information about material contractual obligations as of March 31,
2025.
The commitment amounts in the table below are associated with contracts that are enforceable and legally
binding and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum services to be used, fixed, minimum or
variable price provisions, and the approximate timing of the actions under the contracts. Future events could cause
actual payments to differ from these estimates. All amounts except the retirement benefits in the table below are
presented gross and are undiscounted.
| As of March 31, 2025 | As of March 31, 2025 | As of March 31, 2025 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Less than | More than | ||
| (In thousands of euros) | 1 year | 1 year | Total |
| Financial debt obligations .......................... | 38,994 | 70,452 | 109,446 |
| Lease obligations ....................................... | 995 | 1,270 | 2,264 |
| Retirements benefits .................................. | 0 | 759 | 759 |

| Total .......................................................... | 260,514 | 72,481 | 332,995 |
In the ordinary course of our business, we regularly use the services of subcontractors and enter into research
and partnership arrangements with various CROs and with public-sector partners or subcontractors who conduct
clinical trials and studies in relation to the drug candidates. Off-balance sheet obligations in the table above are
commitments related to these research and partnership agreements. They are classified at less than one year maturity
in the absence of a fixed schedule in contracts, in case of multiple-year contracts, such as CRO contracts. CRO
contracts include payments that are conditional to the completion of future development milestones. The majority of
the commitments with our CROs are cancellable under certain circumstances such as insolvency, study put on hold
by competent authorities, breach in regulations or negligence in the provision of the services.
Our material cash requirements in the above table do not include potential future royalty payments related to
the royalty certificates, amounting to 2% of the future net sales of obefazimod (worldwide and for all indications).
The amount of royalties that may be paid under the royalty certificates is capped at €172.0 million in the aggregate.
Royalty payments are expected to take place before the expiry date of the certificates, which is 15 years after their
issuance date (September 2, 2037).
As of March 31, 2025, our contractual obligations and loans were
€333.0
million, comprising financial debt
obligations of
€109.4
million (in turn, comprising €53.1 million with respect to the second and third tranches of
senior secured non-convertible bonds in the Kreos / Claret Financing, €23.7 million with respect to Heights
Convertible Notes, €30.1 million with respect of the Kreos / Claret OCABSA and €2.6 million with respect to the
PGE) and off-balance sheet obligations of
€220.5
million with respect to purchase obligations.

ABIVAX SA NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. The Group
Note 1.1. Information on the Group and its business
ABIVAX SA (the “Company”) is a société anonyme incorporated under the laws of France on December 4, 2013. Its registered office
is located at 7-11 Boulevard Haussmann—75009 Paris, France. The Company is developing therapeutics designed to harness the
body’s natural regulatory mechanisms to stabilize the immune response in patients with chronic inflammatory diseases.
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 comprise
the Company and ABIVAX LLC (the “Subsidiary”), the United States subsidiary of ABIVAX SA, created on March 20, 2023 under
the laws of the State of Delaware (together referred to as the “Group”).
The Group has incurred losses since its inception and had shareholders’ equity of €(6,592) thousand as of March 31, 2025. The Group
anticipates incurring additional losses until such time, if ever, that it can generate significant revenue from its drug candidates which
are currently under development. Substantial additional financing will be needed by the Group to fund its operations and to
commercially develop its drug candidates, if approved.
The Group's future operations are highly dependent on a combination of factors, including: (i) the success of its research and
development activities; (ii) regulatory approval and market acceptance of its proposed future products; (iii) the timely and successful
completion of additional financing and (iv) the development of competitive therapies by other biotechnology and pharmaceutical
companies. As a result, the Group is, and expects to continue to be, in the short to mid-term, financed through the issuance of new
equity or debt instruments.
The Group is focusing its efforts on the following points:
•Continuation of the Phase 3 clinical trial program (ABTECT) for obefazimod in moderately to severely active ulcerative
colitis (“UC”).
•Initiating the Phase 2b clinical trial (ENHANCE-CD) of obefazimod in Crohn’s disease (“CD”).
•Evaluating oral or injectable combination therapy candidates with obefazimod in UC.
•Selecting a follow-on candidate for obefazimod.
Note 1.2. Date of authorization of issuance
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared under the responsibility of
management of the Group and were approved and authorized for issuance by the Group’s board of directors on May 28, 2025.
Note 2. Basis of preparation
Except for share data and per share amounts, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in
thousands of euros. Amounts are rounded up or down the nearest whole number for the calculation of certain financial data and other
information contained in these accounts. Accordingly, the total amounts presented in certain tables may not be the exact sum of the
preceding figures.
F-8
Statement of compliance
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2025 and for the three-month periods ended
March 31, 2025 and 2024 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” as issued by IASB and as
adopted by the European Union (EU) and should be read in conjunction with the latest Group’s annual financial statements for the
years ended December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by IASB and as adopted by the EU.
They do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared under IFRS. They do, however,
include selected notes explaining significant events and transactions in order to understand the changes in the Group’s financial
position and performance since the last annual financial statements.
The accounting policies used to prepare these unaudited interim condensed financial statements are identical to those applied by the
Group as of December 31, 2024, except for:
•the texts whose application is compulsory as from January 1, 2025;
•the specific provisions of IAS 34 used in the preparation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial
statements.
The application of the new Amendments to IAS 21 "The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates – Lack of Exchangeability" is
mandatory for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025.The Group assessed the impacts resulting from the
application of these issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that impacts are not material.
The standards and interpretations not yet mandatory as of March 31, 2025 are the following:
•Amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures – Amendments to the
Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments, whose application is for annual reporting periods beginning on or
after January 1, 2026 (not yet approved by the EU);
•Amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures – Contracts Referencing
Nature-dependent Electricity, whose application is for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026 (not yet
approved by the EU);
•IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, whose application is for annual reporting periods beginning on
or after January 1, 2027 (not yet approved by the EU);
•IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures, whose application is for annual reporting periods beginning
on or after January 1, 2027 (not yet approved by the UE), and
•Annual Improvements Volume 11, whose application is for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026
(not yet approved by the UE).
These texts have not been early adopted. The expected impacts are not considered significant, except for IFRS 18, for which the Group
has not completed its assessment to date.
Preparation of the financial statements
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group were prepared on a historical cost basis, with the
exception of certain asset and liability categories and in accordance with the provisions set out in IFRS such as employee benefits
measured using the projected unit credit method, the Heights notes (classified under "Convertible loan notes") measured at fair value
and derivative financial instruments measured at fair value.
Going concern
The Group has incurred substantial operating losses since inception and expects to continue to incur significant operating losses for the
foreseeable future and may never become profitable. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, the Group had a net loss of
€52,370 thousand. In addition, the Group had negative shareholder's equity of €(6.6) million as at March 31, 2025 driven by the losses
incurred.
F-9
Since inception, the Group has financed its operations through the issuance of ordinary shares with gross aggregate proceeds of
€557.2 million, of which €130 million of gross proceeds were from offerings of its ordinary shares on Euronext Paris in February 2023
and €223.3 million of gross proceeds were from its offering of ordinary shares in the form of American Depository Shares ("ADS") on
the Nasdaq Global Market as well as ordinary shares in Europe (including France) and countries outside of the United States in a
private placement in October 2023, bank borrowings and structured loans for €175.0 million, reimbursements of Research Tax Credits
(Crédit d’Impôt Recherche (“CIR”)) in an aggregate amount of €35.6 million, subsidies received from Banque Publique
d’Investissement (“Bpifrance”) (including €17.1 million of subsidies and €1.8 million of conditional advances) and royalty certificates
in an amount of €2.9 million.
Based on (a) the Group’s existing cash and cash equivalents of €103.6 million as of March 31, 2025 and (b) the expected
reimbursement of the CIR from 2024 in the second half of 2025 amounting to €5.7 million, the Group expects, as of the date of
issuance of these financial statements, to be able to fund its forecasted cash flow requirements into the fourth quarter of 2025. This
takes into account management's assumptions of higher R&D expenditure in 2025 driven by the progression of the Phase 3 clinical
trials of obefazimod in UC and the Phase 2b clinical trials for CD. Under these assumptions and based on the Group's current clinical
and operational plans, the Group would have sufficient funds to finance its operations in the fourth quarter of 2025, i.e. through the
announcement of its top-line data from the Phase 3 ABTECT-1 and ABTECT-2 induction trials for UC expected in the third quarter of
2025.
The elements referred to above, as well as (c) the Group's expectation to generate operating losses and negative operating cash flows
in the future, and (d) the need for additional funding to support its planned operations, result in a material uncertainty that may cast
significant doubt (or raise substantial doubt as contemplated by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board standards) regarding its
ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date that these consolidated financial statements are issued. The
Group continues to monitor its spending of 2025 expenses, ensuring strict adherence to the approved budget, which includes projected
savings through the gating of non essential spend and to pursue additional cash resources through public or private equity or debt
financings, regional out licensing agreements and/or royalty financing. The Group has concluded that substantial doubt exists about
the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date of issuance of these consolidated
financial statements.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and
satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary if the
Group is unable to continue as a going concern.
Impact of the Ukraine/Russia Hostilities on the Group
In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. The conflict has already had major implications for the global economy and the rate of
inflation, particularly in relation to the supply of energy, raw materials and food products. It has also caused intense volatility on the
financial markets, something that is still ongoing at the reporting date and has pushed down stock market prices around the world.
Given these developments, the Group has decided not to include Russia and Belarus in its global Phase 3 program for obefazimod in
UC. However, the global scale of this conflict cannot be predicted at this stage. The Group, therefore, cannot rule out an adverse
impact of this conflict on its business, including in terms of access to raw materials, logistics, the performance of clinical studies and
in relation to any future financing the Group may seek.
The long-term safety and efficacy extension of the Phase 2b maintenance trial of obefazimod in moderately to severely active UC is
the Group’s only clinical trial with patients currently enrolled in Ukraine. The Phase 2b 12-month assessment was carried out in all the
Ukrainian patients before the war broke out and these patients are therefore included in the one-year maintenance results that were
reported on April 6, 2022. Ukrainian patients who completed the two-year Phase 2b maintenance trial have been transitioned to the
long-term safety and efficacy trial that is still on-going. The Group also has a few Ukrainian sites active in the western part of Ukraine
in the ABTECT Phase 3 clinical trials. None of these sites are located in the Crimea Region of Ukraine, the so-called Donetsk
People’s Republic, or the so-called Luhansk People’s Republic. The Group continues to monitor developments in the region, but any
instability as a result of the war may have material adverse impacts on these clinical sites, which could negatively impact our Phase 3
clinical trials.
F-10
Together with its CROs, the Group is making considerable efforts to ensure the follow-up of patients who are unable to come to the
study centers. Monitoring takes place through a remote monitoring system that was established and used successfully during the
COVID-19 pandemic.

In February, March, May, July and September 2024, the Group issued seven free-share compensation plans to certain of its officers
and employees, representing a maximum of 1,946,125 shares in the aggregate, the vesting of which is subject to the following service
condition: 50% of the AGAs vest at the end of a two-year period from the allocation date, 25% at the end of a three-year period from
the allocation date and 25% at the end of a four-year period from the allocation date (with the exception of the 20,000 2024-6 AGAs,
whose vesting conditions are set forth in Note 14).
In March 2024, the Group granted its independent Board members the right to subscribe up to
77,820

senior secured non-convertible bonds with a par value of €1.00 each, that will not be listed on any market.
The detailed characteristics of these bond loans and their accounting treatments are set forth in Note 15.1 to the annual consolidated
financial statements of the Group as of December 31, 2024 accompanying the Group’s Annual Report.
Bpifrance RNP-VIR and Carena conditional advances – June 2024
F-12
In June 2024, the Group and Bpifrance renegotiated the RNP-VIR and CARENA conditional advances:
•Under the RNP-VIR contract, the Group was eligible to receive up to €6.3 million in conditional advances to further develop
methods for the discovery of new molecules for the treatment of viral infectious diseases through the development of the
“Modulation of RNA biogenesis” platform. Between September 2017 and November 2019, the Group had received repayable
conditional advances amounting €4,032 thousands and subsidies amounting to €1,123 thousand in relation to the RNP-VIR
project.
In June 2024, the Group and Bpifrance agreed to terminate the project due to technical failure. Bpifrance claimed the
reimbursement of €1,241 thousand corresponding to overpayments of conditional advances and subsidies (for which the
Group had not incurred the corresponding R&D expenses) and agreed to waive 60% of the remaining advances of
€2,945 thousand and accrued interests, which resulted in a subsidy income of €1,872 thousand in the aggregate (see Note 18).
The outstanding amount was fully repaid by the Group during the last quarter of 2024.
•Under the CARENA agreement, the Group was eligible to receive up to €3,840 thousand to develop a therapeutic HIV
treatment program with ABX464. Between December 2013 and June 2016, the Group had received repayable conditional
advances amounting €2,187.
In June 2024, the Group and Bpifrance agreed to terminate the project due to technical failure. Bpifrance granted an
additional amount of €1,068 thousand payable to the Group to reimburse additional expenses incurred as part of the project,
and agreed to waive 60% of the remaining conditional advance of €3,255 thousand and accrued interests, which resulted in a
subsidy income of €2,251 thousand in the aggregate (see Note 18). The outstanding amount was fully repaid by the Group
during the last quarter of 2024.
Establishment of an At-the-Market ("ATM") Program on Nasdaq - November 2024
On November 19, 2024, the Group announced the implementation of an At-The-Market program (“ATM Program”) allowing the
Group to issue and sell, including with unsolicited investors who have expressed an interest, ordinary shares in the form of ADSs,
each ADS representing one ordinary share, nominal value €0.01 per share, of the Group, with aggregate gross sales proceeds of up to
$150,000 thousand (subject to French regulatory limits and within the limits of the investors’ requests expressed in the context of the
program), from time to time, pursuant to the terms of an equity distribution agreement with Piper Sandler & Co. (“Piper Sandler”),
acting as sales agent. The timing of any issuances in the form of ADSs will depend on a variety of factors. The ATM Program will be
effective until terminated in accordance with the equity distribution agreement or if ADSs representing the maximum gross sales
proceeds have been sold thereunder. To the extent that ADSs are sold pursuant to the ATM Program, the Group currently intends to
use the net proceeds (after deduction of fees and expenses), if any, of sales of ADSs issued under the ATM Program primarily to fund
the research and development of the Group's product candidates, for working capital and general corporate purposes, at its discretion.
A shelf registration statement on Form F-3, including a base prospectus relating to the Group's securities and an equity distribution
agreement prospectus relating to the ATM Program, was filed with the SEC and went into effect during 2024. The base prospectus
provides for the potential sale of ADSs of the Group with aggregate gross sales proceeds of up to $350,000 thousand (including the
$150,000 thousand covered by the equity distribution agreement prospectus) to grant additional flexibility to the Group in connection
with its financing strategy. The specific terms of any securities to be offered pursuant to the base prospectus will be specified in one or
more prospectus supplements to the base prospectus. As of the date of issuance of our Annual Report, the Group has not utilized the
ATM Program.

Share-based compensation plans – January-March 2025
In January 2025, the Group granted its independent Board members, as well as one of its Board Observers and Advisor, the right to
subscribe up to 125,000 share warrants (BSA) in the aggregate, the vesting of which (if subscribed) is subject to a service condition of
four years, by tranches of 25% each, vested on January, 1 of each year.
In February and March 2025, the Group issued five free-share compensation plans to certain of its officers and employees,
representing a maximum of 4,540,727 shares in the aggregate, the vesting of which is subject to the following service condition: 50%
of the AGAs vest at the end of a two-year period from the allocation date, 25% at the end of a three-year period from the allocation
date and 25% at the end of a four-year period from the allocation date (with the exception of the 123,102 2025-2 AGAs, which vest at
the end of a two-year period from the allocation date). Moreover, the vesting of half of the 4,319,500 2025-1 AGAs is subject to the
occurrence of a tender offer on the securities issued by the Group and resulting in a change of control of the Group before the second
anniversary of the grant date. Finally, the vesting of 50,000 AGA 2025-5 is subject to the achievement of milestones related to clinical
studies.
The detailed terms and conditions of these plans are set forth in Note 14.

F-14
Note 4. Accounting principles
The Group's accounting policies are the same as those described in the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group as of
December 31, 2024 accompanying the Annual Report.
Use of judgments and estimates
In preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, management has made judgments and estimates that affect
the application of the Group’s accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual
values may differ from estimated values.
The significant judgments made by management in the application of the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of
estimation uncertainty are the same as those described in the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group as of December 31,
2024 accompanying the Annual Report.
Measurement of fair values
A number of the Group’s accounting policies require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and
liabilities.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are
categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows.
•Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
(i.e., prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).
•Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
Seasonality of operations
The Group’s operations are not subject to significant seasonality.
Note 5. Segment information
The assessment of the Group’s performance and the decisions about resources to be allocated are made by the chief operating decision
maker, based on the management reporting system of the Group. The Group identified the Chief Executive Officer of the Group as
“Chief operating decision maker”. The Chief operating decision maker reviews on an aggregated basis the incurred expenses for
allocating and evaluating performance of the Group.
The Group operates in a single operating segment: R&D of pharmaceutical products in order to market them in the future.
Substantially all operations, assets, liabilities, and losses of the Group are located in France. As of March 31, 2025, the Subsidiary’s
contributions to the Group’s assets, liabilities and net losses were less than 10%.
Note 6. Goodwill and impairment test
Goodwill relates to the acquisition of Splicos SAS that occurred in 2014 (i.e., prior to the transition date to IFRS) which was merged
into the Group the same year.
Goodwill from the Splicos SAS acquisition corresponds to the “Modulation of RNA biogenesis / splicing” technological platform,
from which derived the lead drug candidate of the Group: ABX464.
In accordance with IAS 36, goodwill is allocated to groups of cash generating units (CGUs) at a level corresponding to the lead drug
candidates. Thus, goodwill from Splicos SAS is allocated to the ABX464 CGU.
The net carrying amount of Splicos SAS goodwill is €18419 thousand as of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025.
F-15
The ABX464 product candidate being currently in development, a clinical trial failure or a failure to obtain a marketing approval
could result in an impairment. As of March 31, 2025, the Group has not identified any indication of impairment loss related to
goodwill, intangible or tangible assets.
Note 7. Intangible assets
Intangible assets are mainly comprised of the intellectual property underlying:
(i)The collaboration and license agreement with the CNRS, Montpellier 2 university and the Curie for which the Group
paid a milestone of €40 thousand in September 2019 as a result of the entry in phase 2 of ABX464.
(ii)Patents acquired through the acquisition of Prosynergia of €6,529 thousand. The patents are not yet amortized, similarly
to licenses, and are included in the ABX464 CGU for impairment test purposes.
F-16
Licenses and patents recognized as Intangible assets are not amortized since they are not operating in a manner intended by the
management. As a consequence, and in accordance with IAS 36, those assets were subject to an annual impairment test as of
December 31, 2024, which did not result in any impairment loss. As of March 31, 2025, no indicator of impairment has been
identified.

| Total other current financial assets | 7,554 | 7,528 |
| Other financial assets | 13,473 | 13,507 |
Advances related to CRO contracts
These advances granted in 2022 for clinical studies are to be recovered at the end of the studies after final reconciliation with pass-
through costs, which are being invoiced and paid as studies are carried out. These long-term advances were measured at fair value on
initial recognition, using discount rates ranging from 0.19% to 7.16%, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost. The recovery
dates of the first two advances are scheduled in the second half of 2025.
During the first half of 2023, additional advances related to CRO contracts amounting to €1,620 thousand were made (undiscounted
amount). These long-term advances were measured at fair value on initial recognition, using discount rates ranging from 7.09% to
7.59%, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost.
At inception, a prepaid expenses asset was recognized for the difference between the advances’ nominal value and fair value, and
spread over the term of the advances, at the rate of recognition of the related R&D expenses (see Note 10).
In March 2024, a change order was signed with the CRO, extending the scope (addition of maintenance studies) and end date of one of
the studies to 2029, thus postponing the recovery date of the corresponding advance of €5,538 thousand from June 2026 to June 2029.
The Group considered that this asset modification met the criteria for derecognition, and recognized a new financial asset at fair value
on that date, using a discount rate of 6.83%. Since the Group considers that these advances are made in exchange for a discount on
future services to be received from the CROs, a prepaid expense asset was also recognized for the difference between the
derecognized asset carrying value and new asset fair value, and spread over the term of the advance in a similar manner.
F-19
The credit risk related to these advances is deemed insignificant due to the CROs' credit ratings.
Deposits
Deposits include the Paris and Boston offices lease contracts, the ATM Program, as well as other security deposits.
Note 10. Other receivables and other assets
Other receivables and other assets break down as follows:

| Total current other receivables and assets | 18,896 | 21,563 |
| Other receivables and other assets | 19,843 | 22,422 |
Research tax credit (“CIR”)
The CIR is recognized as Other Operating Income in the year to which the eligible research expense relates. The Group received the
payment of the CIR for the 2023 tax year in the amount of €4,493 thousand in the second half of 2024 and expects to receive the CIR
for the 2024 tax year of €5,774 thousand in the second half of 2025. The additional CIR of €970 thousand recorded over the three-
month ended March 31, 2025 relates to research expenses incurred the period.
Prepaid expenses
Prepaid expenses as of March 31, 2025 include prepaid expenses related to CRO contracts for an amount of €1,445 thousand (see Note
9) and other expenses from various suppliers amounting to €2,228 thousand.
Note 11. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents break down as follows:

| Cash | 56,956 | 33,865 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 144,221 | 103,576 |
Cash equivalents mainly include term deposits with short-term maturities and highly liquid investments in mutual funds as of
December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025 respectively.
F-20
As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025, in addition to the Group’s bank accounts, cash includes notice accounts amounting to
€44,239 thousand and €26,915 thousand respectively. These funds are available on demand within 24 hours and without penalty.
As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025, the impact of the revaluation of cash and cash equivalents held in U.S. dollars into the
Group's presentation currency is a net financial gain of €2,035 thousand and a net financial loss of €447 thousand, respectively.

(1) The fair value of cash and cash equivalents is determined based on Level 1 fair value measurement and corresponds to the
market value of the assets.
(2) The carrying amount of financial assets measured at amortized cost is deemed to be a reasonable estimate of fair value, except
for the long-term advances made to CROs, whose fair value is determined based on Level 3 fair value measurement and is estimated
based on future cash-flows discounted at market rates, using credit spreads ranging from 104 bp to 218 bp as of December 31, 2024
F-21
and 105 bp to 325 bp as of March 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025, an increase in the credit spread by +100 bp
would result in a decrease in the advances fair value by €236 thousand and €206 thousand respectively.
(3) The carrying amount of short-term financial liabilities measured at amortized cost was deemed to be a reasonable estimate of
fair value.
(4) The fair value of the royalty certificates, Heights convertible notes, Kreos / Claret BSA and Minimum Return Indemnifications
is based on Level 3 fair value measurement and is estimated based on models and assumptions detailed in Note 15. The fair value of
other long-term financial liabilities is determined based on Level 3 fair value measurement and is estimated based on future cash-flows
discounted at market rates, using the following assumptions:
•For the debt components of the Kreos / Claret OCABSA (tranche A) and the tranches B and C of the Kreos / Claret straight
bond loans, a credit spread of 750 bp as of December 31, 2024 and 1,000 bp as of March 31, 2025.
As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025, an increase in the credit spread by +100 bp would result in a decrease in the
Kreos / Claret tranche A (OCABSA), tranches B and C debt components fair value by respectively €538 thousand and
€773 thousand respectively.
•For the PGE loan (on both reporting dates), a credit spread of 900 bp as of December 31, 2024 and 950 bp as of March 31,
- As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025, an increase in the credit spread by +100 bp would result in a decrease
in the PGE loan fair value by €39 thousand and €15 thousand respectively.

BSAs granted in January
2025
In January 2025, the Group granted its independent Board members, as well as one of its Board Observers and Advisor, the right to
subscribe up to 125,000 share warrants (BSA) in the aggregate, the vesting of which (if subscribed) is subject to a service condition of
four years, by tranches of 25% each, vested on January, 1 of each year. Additionally, the BSAs are subject to a vesting acceleration
condition in case of a tender offer on the securities issued by the Group and resulting in a change of control of the Group. All of the
granted BSAs were subscribed by the beneficiaries in February 2025.
The fair value of the BSAs was determined at grant date using the Black Scholes model, with the following assumptions:

Note 15.1. Structured debt financing with Kreos & Claret subscribed in August 2023 – “Kreos / Claret Financing”
The Kreos / Claret Financing consists of three tranches of €25,000 thousand each in aggregate principal amount (the convertible
OCABSA and the second and third tranches of non-convertible bonds, respectively the "tranches A, B and C") as well as a Minimal
F-25
Return Indemnification ("MRI") to the benefit of the bondholders.
In addition to the Kreos / Claret OCABSA, the Group has issued share warrants (the “tranche A-B BSA” and “tranche C BSA”),
giving Kreos and Claret the right to subscribe to up to 214,198 and 405,832 ordinary shares respectively.
The OCABSA are compound instruments, split between (i) a debt component (then measured at amortized cost) and (ii) an equity
component corresponding to the conversion option and the attached OCABSA warrants.
The OCABSA warrants are considered as an embedded component of the bonds rather than a separate stand-alone financial
instrument.
The Kreos / Claret second and third tranches are hybrid instruments, split between (i) debt host contracts accounted for at amortized
cost and (ii) bifurcated embedded derivatives accounted for at fair value through profit and loss, corresponding to the Minimal Return
Indemnifications and the prepayment options (the fair value of the prepayment options being deemed insignificant at issuance and as
of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025).
As the A-B and C warrants (the "Kreos / Claret BSA") are contractually transferable separately from the bonds and are redeemable in
a variable number of ordinary shares of the Group, they are classified as standalone derivative financial liabilities.
The detailed terms and conditions and the accounting treatment of these instruments are presented in Note 15.1 to the annual
consolidated financial statements of the Group as of December 31, 2024 accompanying the Group’s Annual Report.
F-26
Measurement of the Kreos / Claret second and third tranches hybrid instruments
At inception, the net cash proceeds reflect the tranches' initial fair values. The fair values of the Minimal Return Indemnifications were
deducted from the initial carrying values of the debt components of each tranche, which were subsequently measured at amortized cost
using the EIR method.
The fair values of the Minimum Return Indemnifications were measured using the following assumptions:
| Tranche B Minimum Return Indemnification (issued in March<br><br>2024) | AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024 | AS OF MARCH 31, 2025 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Final redemption scenario probability | 95% | 95% | ||||

| --- | --- | --- | ||||
| Final redemption scenario probability | 95% | 95% | ||||
| Minimal return | 1.30x | 1.30x | ||||
| Discount rate | 7.5% | 10% | ||||
| (a) Probability-weighted present value of shortfall payment (in<br><br>thousands of €) | 1,160 (Final redemption)<br><br>43 (Tender offer) | 1,233 (Final redemption)<br><br>52 (Tender offer) | ||||
| (b) Probability-weighted fair value of tranche C warrants with MRI<br><br>(in thousands of €) | 684 (Final redemption) | 597 (Final redemption) | ||||
| (c) Probability-weighted fair value of tranche C warrants without<br><br>MRI (in thousands of €) | 903 (Final redemption) | 779 (Final redemption) | ||||
| Total fair value of MRI (in thousands of €) | 941 (Final redemption, i.e. a+b-c)<br><br>43 (Tender offer) | 1,051 (Final redemption)<br><br>52 (Tender offer) | ||||
| Fair value of Tranche C MRI (in thousands of €) | 984 | 1,104 |
For the purpose of measuring the fair value of the MRI (shortfall payment), the fair value of the tranche A-B and C BSA was
measured with a Black Scholes model under the Final redemption scenario and with a Monte Carlo model under the Tender offer
scenario.
As of December 31, 2024, using the same assumption with an increase of +1% volatility, €+1 share price, +1% risk-free rate, +10% in
the probability of achieving the Final redemption scenario and +1% discount rate would result in changes of the MRI B and C fair
value by respectively €-1 thousand, €-3 thousand, €-3 thousand, €+3 thousand and €-82 thousand.
As of March 31, 2025, using the same assumption with an increase of +1% volatility, €+1 share price, +1% risk-free rate, +10% in the
probability of achieving the Final redemption scenario and +1% discount rate would result in changes of the MRI B and C fair value
by respectively €-3 thousand, €-87 thousand, €-9 thousand, €-2 thousand and €-74 thousand.
F-27
Measurement of the Kreos / Claret tranche A-B-C BSA
The Kreos / Claret tranche A-B and tranche C BSA are measured at fair value using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The model
considers two probability-weighted scenarios, i.e. (i) the 7-year expiry of the BSA and (ii) an earlier exercise upon a tender offer. The
main data and assumptions are the following:
| Kreos/Claret Tranche A-B BSA (issued in August 2023) | AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024 | AS OF MARCH 31, 2025 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

As of December 31, 2024, using the same assumption with an increase of +1% volatility, €+1 share price, +1% risk-free rate and
+10% in the probability of achieving the 7 years expiry scenario would result in an increase of Kreos / Claret A-B and C BSA fair
value by respectively €37 thousand, €350 thousand, €61 thousand and€75 thousand.
As of March 31, 2025, using the same assumption with an increase of +1% volatility, €+1 share price, +1% risk-free rate and +10% in
the probability of achieving the 7-year expiry scenario would result in an increase of Kreos / Claret A-B and C BSA fair value by
respectively €30 thousand, €339 thousand, €45 thousand and €74 thousand.

Note 15.2. Heights convertible notes
The Heights convertible notes consists of (i) a host debt instrument and (ii) conversion and settlement options representing embedded
derivatives. The whole instrument is measured at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") at each reporting date.
In application of the Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-
current, and Non-current Liabilities with Covenants, the Heights convertible notes are classified as current financial liabilities.
The fair value of the Heights convertible notes (including the embedded features) has been measured with a Monte Carlo model,
considering two probability-weighted scenarios: (i) a Put Event or Default/Dissolution scenario and (ii) a voluntary conversion at
maturity scenario. The main data and assumptions are the following:
| Heights convertible notes (issued in August 2023) | AS OF<br><br>DECEMBER 31, 2024 | AS OF<br><br>MARCH 31, 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Number of outstanding notes | 350 | 350 |
| Original principal amount (in thousands of €) | 35,000 | 35,000 |
| Interest rate | 6% | 6% |
| Conversion price per share | €23.77 | €23.77 |
| Ordinary share price | €6.76 | €5.75 |
| Maturity date | 24/08/2025 (put event)<br><br>24/08/2027 (HTM/voluntary conversion) | 24/08/2025 (put event)<br><br>24/08/2027 (HTM/voluntary conversion) |
| Held to maturity / voluntary conversion scenario<br><br>probability | 75% | 75% |
| Initial price limit | €14.43 | €14.43 |
| Early redemption amount (put event) | 120% | 120% |
| Volatility | 50% | 50% |
| Credit spread | 25% | 25% |
| Risk-free rate | 2.9% | 2.4% |
| Fair value of Heights convertible notes (in<br><br>thousands of €) | 20,017 | 18,864 |
As of December 31, 2024, using the same assumptions with an increase of +1% volatility, €+1 share price, +1% risk-free rate and
+10% probability of achieving the held to maturity scenario would result in a change in the Heights convertible notes fair value by
respectively €+2 thousand, €+39 thousand, €-219 thousand and €-631 thousand.
As of March 31, 2025, using the same assumptions with an increase of +1% volatility, €+1 share price, +1% risk-free rate and +10%
probability of achieving the held to maturity scenario would result in a change in the Heights convertible notes fair value by
respectively €+5 thousand, €+36 thousand, €-166 thousand and €-667 thousand.
On the limit date for the drawdown of the second tranche of the Heights Financing (i.e. August 4, 2024), the Group had not drawn
down this tranche and has therefore forgone its right to do so in the future.

Note 15.3. State guaranteed loan – “PGE”
The payment of the next installment of the PGE is scheduled in June 2025.
Note 15.4. Lease liabilities
The variations in lease liabilities are set forth below:
| (amounts in thousands of euros) | LEASE LIABILITY |
|---|---|
| AS OF<br><br>DECEMBER 31, 2023 | 540 |
| (+) Increase | 6 |
| (-) Decrease | (177) |
| AS OF<br><br>MARCH 31, 2024 | 369 |
| AS OF<br><br>DECEMBER 31, 2024 | 2,363 |
| (+) Increase | |
| (-) Decrease | (241) |
| AS OF<br><br>MARCH 31, 2025 | 2,122 |
Lease liabilities mainly relate the Group’s former headquarters in Paris (the lease of which ended on June 2024), the Boston office
entered into in November 2023, the Montpellier offices entered into in April 2024, the new Paris headquarters entered into in May
2024 and to a lesser extent to vehicles, parking lots and printers (Note 8).
As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025, the lease liabilities of the Paris headquarters and Boston offices represented 93% and
90% of the total lease liability, respectively.
Lease expenses related to contracts for which a lease liability and right of use asset is recognized under IFRS 16 were €114 thousand
and €219 thousand for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively. They were recognized for (i)
€150 thousand and €194 thousand as Depreciation expenses and (ii) €5 thousand and €19 thousand as Interest expenses, for the three-
month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively.
Lease expenses related to short-term lease contracts and low value assets that are not included in the valuation of the lease liability
amount to €3 thousand, and €87 thousand for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively.
Note 15.5. Royalty certificates
The royalty certificates are measured at amortized cost using the EIR method.
The fair value of the royalty certificates, calculated using the same model as their initial measurement, amounts to €7,313 thousand as
of December 31, 2024 and €7,354 thousand as of March 31, 2025.
The fair value of the royalty certificates is based on the net present value of royalties, which depends on assumptions made by the
Group with regards to the probability of success of its studies (“POS”), the commercialization budget of obefazimod (“peak
penetration”) and the Group's WACC. In addition, royalty projections have been adjusted to reflect any difference between the
Group’s value derived from management projections and the Group’s market capitalization.
F-30
As of December 31, 2024, using the same assumptions with an increase of +5 points of POS, +5% of peak penetration (best case
scenario), +1% WACC and €+1 share price would result in a change in the royalty certificates fair value by respectively €
+572 thousand, €+1,735 thousand, €-314 thousand and €+1,160 thousand. Using the same assumptions with a decrease of -5% points
of POS, -5% of peak penetration (worst case scenario) and -1% WACC and €-1 share price would result in a change in the royalty
certificates fair value by respectively €-572 thousand, €-2,527 thousand, €+332 thousand and €-1,160 thousand.
As of March 31, 2025, using the same assumptions with an increase of +5 points of POS, +5% of peak penetration (best case
scenario), +1% WACC and €+1 share price would result in a change in the royalty certificates fair value by respectively €
+575 thousand, €+1,782 thousand, €-302 thousand and €+1,273 thousand. Using the same assumptions with a decrease of -5% points
of POS, -5% of peak penetration (worst case scenario) and -1% WACC and €-1 share price would result in a change in the royalty
certificates fair value by respectively €-575 thousand, €-2,595 thousand, €+318 thousand and €-1,273 thousand.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, proceeds from the issuance of the Kreos / Claret tranche B bond loan are presented
net of transaction costs and deposits (corresponding to the prepayments of half of the last debt installments on issuance date) included
in the debt discount using the EIR method, and amounting to €875 thousand and €540 thousand respectively. Net proceeds from non-
convertible bond loans of €24,625 thousand disclosed in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the

(1) The contractual cash flows above do not include potential future royalty payments related to the royalty certificates, amounting to
2% of the future net sales of obefazimod (worldwide and for all indications). The amount of royalties that may be paid under the
royalty certificates is capped at €172.0 million in the aggregate. Royalty payments are expected to take place before the expiry date of
the certificates, which is 15 years after their issuance date (September 2, 2037), and would be included in the "from 2 to 5 years" and
"longer than 5 years" maturity categories according to management's projections.
Note 16. Retirement benefit obligations
Retirement benefit obligations include the liability for the defined benefit plan, measured based on the provisions stipulated
under the applicable collective agreements, i.e. the French pharmaceutical industry’s collective agreement. This commitment
only applies to employees subject to French law. Employees in the U.S. benefit from defined contribution plans (401(k)).

Subsidies
Subsidies primarily relate to the Bpifrance RNP-VIR and CARENA conditional advances, the repayments of which were partly
waived by Bpifrance in June 2024, for €1,872 thousand and €2,251 thousand respectively (see Note 3.1).
Other
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, the line item "Other" mainly includes issuance, cancellation and depositary service
fees collected from ADSs holders by Citibank, who is acting as the Group's exclusive depositary for its publicly listed and freely
traded ADSs. As part of the depositary agreement between Citibank and the Group, the latter is entitled to receive a portion of the
aforementioned fees collected by Citibank.
Note 19. Operating expenses
Note 19.1. Sales and marketing
F-35
| (amounts in thousands of euros) | ||
|---|---|---|
| SALES AND MARKETING | FOR THE THREE<br><br>MONTHS ENDED<br><br>MARCH 31, 2024 | FOR THE THREE<br><br>MONTHS ENDED<br><br>MARCH 31, 2025 |

preparation for the Group's future sales and commercialization efforts in the U.S.
Note 19.2. Research and development
Research and development expenses break down as follows:
| (amounts in thousands of euros) | ||
|---|---|---|
| RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES | FOR THE THREE<br><br>MONTHS ENDED<br><br>MARCH 31, 2024 | FOR THE THREE<br><br>MONTHS ENDED<br><br>MARCH 31, 2025 |

| Intellectual property fees | 341 | 239 |
| Other research and development expenses | 567 | 860 |
| Research and development expenses | 35,744 | 39,301 |
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, research and development expenses were €39,301 thousand, as compared to
€35,744 thousand for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to a €2,988 thousand increase in
expenses related to the CD program, resulting from the progression of the Phase 2b trials in CD and a €2,707 thousand increase in
transversal activities related to the overall expansion of the research and development headcount to support the Group's organizational
growth and the issuance of new equity awards to officers and employees in research and development. These were partially offset by a
€1,302 thousand decrease in expenses related to the UC clinical program.
Note 19.3. General and administrative
| (amounts in thousands of euros) | ||
|---|---|---|
| GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES | FOR THE THREE<br><br>MONTHS ENDED<br><br>MARCH 31, 2024 | FOR THE THREE<br><br>MONTHS ENDED<br><br>MARCH 31, 2025 |

| Other general and administrative expenses | 1,345 | 1,410 |
| General and administrative expenses | 8,136 | 8,033 |
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, general and administrative expenses were €8,033 thousand, as compared to
€8,136 thousand for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in personnel costs of
€586 thousand, or 11%, mainly resulting from the expense recognition pattern of equity awards granted to certain of the Group's
F-36
officers and employees, many of which were issued in connection with the Group's U.S. initial public offering and listing on Nasdaq in
October 2023, as well as strict adherence to the approved budget, which includes savings through the gating of non essential spend.
These were partially offset by increased legal and professional fees and other costs associated with operating as a dual-listed public
company.
Note 20. Employees
The Group’s average workforce during the periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2025 was as follows:
| HEADCOUNTS | FOR THE THREE<br><br>MONTHS ENDED<br><br>MARCH 31, 2024 | FOR THE THREE<br><br>MONTHS ENDED<br><br>MARCH 31, 2025 |

| Other financial income | 12 | 88 |
| Financial income | 6,031 | 1,552 |
| Financial gain (loss) | 1,803 | (5,170) |
Increases and decreases in the fair value of derivatives for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 are detailed in Notes 15.1,
15.2 and 15.7.
The decrease and increase in other liabilities at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") mainly relate to the Heights notes for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025 respectively (see Note 15.2).
Transaction costs for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 mainly relate to the amortization of the prepaid expenses related to
the transaction costs of the Kreos / Claret tranche C bond loans.
Interest income mainly relates to the invested proceeds from (i) the Group's initial public offering on the Nasdaq Global Market
and the concurrent European Private Placement from October 2023, and (ii) the Kreos / Claret and Heights Financings.
Foreign exchange losses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 relate to the translation of cash and cash equivalents held in
U.S. dollars into the Group's presentation currency as of March 31, 2025 (see Note 11), resulting in a loss of €447 thousand, and to
other realized and unrealized losses on foreign exchange transactions.
Note 22. Income tax
The Group incurred tax losses in the current period and prior years. As the recoverability of these tax losses is not considered probable
in subsequent periods due to the uncertainties inherent in the Group’s business, the Group has not recognized deferred tax assets
beyond deferred tax liabilities arising within the same taxable entity under the same taxable regime and with consistent timing of
reversal, after considering, if applicable, limitations in the use of deductible tax losses carried forward from prior periods applicable
under tax laws in France and in the U.S.
F-38
Note 23. Income (loss) per share
Basic losses per share is calculated by dividing income (loss) attributable to equity holders of the Group by the weighted-
average number of outstanding ordinary shares for the period.
Diluted losses per share are calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary outstanding shares to assume
conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

| BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE | FOR THE THREE<br><br>MONTHS ENDED<br><br>MARCH 31, 2024 | FOR THE THREE<br><br>MONTHS ENDED<br><br>MARCH 31, 2025 |
| Weighted average number of outstanding shares | 62,917,553 | 63,378,911 |
| Net loss for the period | (42,867) | (52,370) |
| Basic and diluted loss per share (€/share) | (0.68) | (0.83) |
Since net results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 and 2025 are losses, potentially dilutive instruments (BCEs, BSAs,
AGAs, the OCABSA, the Kreos / Claret BSAs and the Heights notes) have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-
average shares outstanding, because such instruments had an antidilutive impact. Consequently, the diluted losses per share are the
same as the basic losses per share.
Note 24. Related parties
Except for share-based compensation plans (see Note 14), the Group has not engaged in any new transaction with its related parties
over the three-month period ended March 31, 2025.
Note 25. Off-balance sheet commitments given
On December 12, 2024, the Group was notified of a claim from the seller of Prosynergia requesting the payment of an earn-out in
connection with the transaction. Legal proceedings are ongoing in French court. The Group has not recorded any provision in its
financial statements in connection with this claim due to uncertainty in the outcome of this proceeding.
Over the period ended March 31, 2025, the Group has not given any significant additional off-balance sheet commitment or amended
already existing commitments. The off-balance sheet commitments given by the Group as of March 31, 2025 are identical to
December 31, 2024, which the exception of the following changes in the commitments related to CRO contracts:
In the ordinary course of business, the Group regularly uses the services of subcontractors and enters into research and partnership
arrangements with various contract research organizations, or CROs, and with public- sector partners or subcontractors, who conduct
clinical trials and studies in relation to the drug candidates. As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025, the Group’s commitments
amounted to respectively €234,908 thousand and €220,526 thousand. The cost of services performed by CROs is recognized as an
operating expense as incurred.
F-39
Note 26. Off-balance sheet commitments received and contingent assets
Over the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, the Group has not received any significant additional commitment and has not
identified any contingent assets susceptible to being recognized in the future.
Note 27. Management and assessment of financial risks
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk, credit risk, foreign currency risk and liquidity risk. The Group has not identified any
significant changes in the identified credit and interest rate risks as of March 31, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024.
Liquidity risk
The remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities as of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025 are presented in Note 15.8.
The Group's estimate of its cash runway as of the date of approval of these financial statements is set forth in Note 2 - Going concern.
Foreign currency risk
The Group is exposed to a risk of exchange rates fluctuations on commercial transactions performed in currencies different from the
functional currency of the Group entity recording the transactions.
For three-month period ended March 31, 2025, expenses in U.S. dollars totaled €3,101 thousand based on the average annual
exchange rate on that date. As a result, an adverse 10% change in the exchange rate for the U.S. dollar against the euro would have
resulted in a foreign exchange rate loss of approximately €345 thousand for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025.
At this stage, the Group has not adopted any other recurring mechanism of hedging to protect its activity against currency fluctuations.
From time to time, the Group may nevertheless subscribe currency term accounts in order to cover a commitment in currency as
described above. The Group may consider in the future using a suitable policy to hedge exchange risks in a more significant manner if
needed.

•Operating loss increased by EUR 2.5M to EUR -47.2M for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to EUR -44.7M for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Operating income, consisting predominantly of Research Tax Credits and Subsidies, decreased by EUR 0.2M to EUR 1.0M for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to EUR 1.2M for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in operating loss was driven by operating expenses as described further below.
•Research and development (R&D) expenses increased by EUR 3.6M to EUR -39.3M in the first quarter of 2025 compared to EUR -35.7M in the same period in 2024. This increase was predominantly driven by expenses related to:
◦A EUR 3.0M, or 736% increase related to our Crohn’s Disease (CD) clinical program, driven by the progression of Phase 2b clinical trials for obefazimod in CD;
◦A EUR 2.7M, or 78%, increase in transversal activities related to the overall expansion of the R&D headcount to support our organizational growth and the issuance of new equity awards to officers and employees in R&D; and
◦Partially offset by a decrease of EUR 1.3M, or -4%, related to our Ulcerative Colitis (UC) clinical program as our Phase 3 clinical trials reached full enrollment.
•Sales and marketing (S&M) expenses decreased to EUR -0.9M for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 compared to EUR -2.0M for the same period in 2024. The decrease was predominantly driven by a reduction in non-critical expenses to manage our cash expense.
•General and administrative (G&A) expenses decreased to EUR -8.0M for the first quarter of 2025 compared to EUR -8.1M for the first quarter of 2024. This decrease was primarily due to:
◦A decrease in personnel costs of EUR 0.6M, resulting from the expense recognition pattern of equity awards granted to certain of our officers and employees, many of which were issued in connection with our U.S. initial public offering and listing on Nasdaq in October 2023;
◦Offset by EUR 0.4M increase related to legal and professional fees and other costs associated with operating as a dual-listed public company.
•For the three-months ended March 31, 2025, our EUR -5.2M net financial loss was driven primarily by the following items:
◦Interest expenses of EUR -3.5M in relation to borrowings and loans;
◦Non-cash expense of EUR -1.0M in relation in relation to our royalty certificates; and
◦Foreign Exchange losses of EUR -1.0M;
◦Mostly offset by interest income of EUR 0.9M in relation to the invested proceeds from our U.S. initial public offering and listing on Nasdaq.
•Cash position as of March 31, 2025 was EUR 103.6M compared to EUR 144.2M as of December 31, 2024. The decrease was due to EUR -33.3M used in operating activities and EUR -7.8M related to principal and interest paid on our debt facilities. This decrease was partially offset by EUR 1.0M of interest received on cash.
Based on the currently available funds and operating assumptions, Abivax expects to be able to finance its operating cash flow requirements into the fourth quarter of 2025.
