ImmuPharma PLC (LSE:IMM), (“ImmuPharma”, the Group or the “Company”), the specialist drug discovery and development company, is pleased to announce its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2026 (the “Period”).
Key Highlights (including post Period review)
Financials
For the period ended 30 June 2026, the Group reported an operating loss of £1.1 million, compared to an operating loss of £1.2 million for the same period in 2025. R&D expenses amounted to £0.6 million compared to £0.7 million for 2025, with administrative expenses of £0.4 million in line with 2025. Share-based payments for the period were £0.04 million, compared with £0.05 million in the prior period.
The overall reported loss for the period was £4.7 million compared with a loss of £1.9 million for the same period in 2025. The increase is due to the Company completing a calculation of fair value of the derivative financial asset that resulted in a finance loss of £3,355,774 which was recorded in the income statement. The restatement to fair value is calculated at the end of each accounting period and will vary according to the Company’s share price performance, which as seen previously can result in either a finance gain or loss.
As at 30 June 2026, the Group held a cash balance of £0.7 million, representing a increase from £0.4 million at 30 June 2025. The derivative financial asset was valued at £2 million, up from £0.6 million a year earlier.
In March 2026, the Company announced an equity fundraising principally intended to support the accelerated development of Kapiglucagon while maintaining P140 as its principal development and partnering priority.
Following shareholder’s approval at a General Meeting on 7 April 2026, the Company completed a £6.0 million subscription with long-standing shareholder Lanstead Capital Investors L.P., together with approximately £0.47 million raised through a WRAP Retail Offer, resulting in aggregate gross fundraising proceeds of approximately £6.47 million.
The Lanstead subscription is subject to a 20-month Sharing Agreement under which the ultimate cash proceeds received by the Company may be higher or lower than the £6.0 million subscription amount depending upon ImmuPharma’s share price performance relative to the agreed benchmark price. At the time of the fundraising, the Directors stated that the new financing, together with existing funding, was expected to provide a cash runway to at least the second half of 2028, based on the assumptions set out in the fundraising announcement.
Portfolio
P140 technology platform
- P140 remains the Company’s lead asset and a core value driver, with continued progress during the Period across its scientific, precision medicine and intellectual property strategy.
- In March 2026, the Company received its first Combined Search and Examination Report (“CSER”) relating to the UK patent application filed in August 2025. The response represented an important milestone in the examination process.
- During the 12-month priority period, ImmuPharma continued the experimental program supporting the P140 and Type M precision medicine approach and generated additional data supporting the scientific basis of the program.
- Post period end, the Company filed an international Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”) application relating to P140 and Type M. The additional experimental data generated during the priority period were incorporated into the PCT application. See separate announcement made today.
- During the priority period, ImmuPharma generated additional experimental data supporting the Type M precision medicine approach and further characterising the biologically defined patient population associated with an increased likelihood or magnitude of response to P140.
- In June 2026, the Company noted early-stage research published by the University of Murcia in Autophagy relating to P140 and its potential application in glioblastoma. The findings provide further scientific evidence relating to P140 outside its original autoimmune setting, while the Company’s primary development focus remains autoimmune disease.
- Post period end, further peer-reviewed research from CNRS and the University of Strasbourg reported P140 activity in a preclinical model of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (“MASH”), providing additional evidence of P140 biological activity outside its original lupus setting. See separate announcement made today.
P140 partnering
- The Company continues to engage with Avion Pharmaceuticals, its US licensing partner for P140. Recent discussions have been constructive, with Avion supportive of the recent scientific and intellectual property progress across the P140 program
- Commercial partnering remained a key focus throughout the period. Discussions are advancing with the objective of securing a value-enhancing commercial deal for P140 in 2026.
Kapiglucagon
- During the Period, ImmuPharma completed and approved the overall development plan for Kapiglucagon, establishing the regulatory, manufacturing, nonclinical and bioanalytical activities required to progress the asset towards clinical development.
- During the Period and subsequently, the Kapiglucagon program moved from development planning into active execution, with regulatory, API manufacturing, drug product development and bioanalytical activities initiated.
- Specialist development partners have been selected across these workstreams to support progression of the program towards IND-enabling development and first-in-human clinical studies.
- The regulatory strategy for Kapiglucagon was further developed during the Period, including preparation for interaction with the US FDA to inform key elements of the IND-enabling program and subsequent clinical development.
Commenting on the statement and outlook Tim McCarthy, CEO and Chairman, said:
“In the first half of 2026 and subsequently, we have completed additional studies to support the P140 and Type M precision medicine approach and generated additional data supporting the scientific basis of the program. These results have expanded the scientific package for the P140 patent application, which has now also been filed under the international Patent Cooperation Treaty.
In April, we completed a successful fundraising of £6.47 million and initiated the accelerated development programme of Kapiglucagon.
We remain focused on progressing our two key assets, P140 and Kapiglucagon, through their development programmes and in particular securing a value-enhancing commercial deal for P140 in 2026.
In closing, I would like to thank our shareholders for their support as well as our staff, corporate and scientific advisers and our partners including CNRS and Avion.”
