Inventiva reports 2025 Third Quarter Financial Information1
- Cash and cash equivalents at €97.6 million, and €24.7 million in short-term deposits2 as of September 30, 2025.
- Revenues of €4.5 million for the first nine months of 2025.
- Cash runway expected until the end of the first quarter of 20273, including net proceeds from the November 2025 public offering.
Daix (France), New York City, (New York, United States), November 21, 2025 – Inventiva (Euronext Paris and Nasdaq: IVA) ("Inventiva" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of oral therapies for the treatment of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis ("MASH"), today reported its cash position as of September 30, 2025 and its revenues for the first nine months of 2025.
Cash and cash equivalents
As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to €97.6 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents at €96.6 million as of December 31, 2024.
Net cash used in operating activities amounted to (€76.3) million in the first nine months of 2025, compared to (€63.7) million for the same period in 2024, up by 20%, while R&D expenses for the first nine months of 2025 were slightly lower by 11% at (€64.6) million, compared to the same period of 2024. The increase in net cash used in operating activities is due to working capital evolution and, to a lesser extent, the net cash impact of the implementation of the Company’s previously disclosed pipeline prioritization plan initiated in the first half of 2025.
Net cash used in investing activities for the first nine months of 2025 amounted to (€25.0) million, compared to €8.9 million generated for the same period in 2024. The change is mostly due to the variation in short-term2 deposits during the period.
Net cash generated from financing activities for the first nine months of 2025 amounted to €103.4 million, compared to €41.9 million in the same period in 2024. Net cash generated from financing activities during the first nine months of 2025 primarily comes from the receipt of gross proceeds of €115.6 million (net proceeds of €108.0 million) from the settlement in May 2025 of the second tranche4 of the structured financing announced by the Company in October 2024 (the “Structured Financing”). Net cash generated from financing activities during the first nine months of 2024 was mainly comprised of (i) the second tranche of €25 million drawn in January 2024 under the unsecured loan agreement granted by the European Investment Bank, and (ii) the issuance of royalty certificates in July 2024 for €20.1 million.
Over the first nine months of 2025, the Company recorded a negative exchange rate effect on cash and cash equivalents of (€1.0) million, compared to none for the same period in 2024, due to the evolution of the EUR/USD exchange rate.
Financial information after closing the accounts
In November 2025, the Company completed a public offering in the United States of 44,805,193 American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately €149 million (€139.3 million net proceeds)5, including the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional ADSs.
Considering its current cost structure and forecasted expenditures, the Company estimates that its cash, cash equivalents and short-term deposits, including the net proceeds from the public offering, should enable it to finance its operations until the end of the first quarter of 2027. Assuming the potential exercise in full of the Tranche 3 warrants issued in the Structured Financing for proceeds of up to €116.0 million, the Company estimates that such potential additional proceeds would enable it to finance its activities until the middle of the third quarter of 20276.
Revenues
Revenues for the first nine months of 2025 amounted to €4.5 million, compared to none generated for the same period in 2024.
Revenues recorded by the Company in the first nine months of 2025 consist mainly of the $10 million gross proceeds (net proceeds of €8.6 million) milestone payment invoiced to Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Group (“CTTQ”) and the $5 million (€4.3 million) credit notes recognized under the license agreement with CTTQ following the closing of the second tranche of the Structured Financing in May 2025. The milestone payment from CTTQ was received in July 2025.
