Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Oxford, United Kingdom--(Newsfile Corp. - May 13, 2025) - Adaptimmune Therapeutics plc (NASDAQ: ADAP), a company redefining the treatment of solid tumor cancers with cell therapy, today reported financial results and provided a business update for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Adrian Rawcliffe, Adaptimmune's Chief Executive Officer: "The launch of Tecelra continues to rapidly accelerate, as evidenced by all launch metrics. In Q4 2024 we invoiced 2 patients, in Q1 2025 we invoiced 6 patients, and in Q2 to-date we have invoiced 8 patients. The shape of the pipeline of patients being tested and apheresed continues to support a robust acceleration of sales in Q2 and the second half of the year, and we continue to experience 100% manufacturing success rates and no payer denials. As a result, we are now providing guidance for 2025 Tecelra sales in the range of $35-$45 million. I'm confident in the team's ability to identify eligible patients, manufacture a personalized engineered T cell treatment and ultimately deliver product, demonstrating that we have built a successful business platform for cell therapies in solid tumors, paving the way for an equally successful lete-cel launch in 2026."

  • Invoiced 2 patients in Q4 2024, 6 in Q1 2025, and 8 in Q2 to-date (as of May 9, 2025)
  • Apheresed 3 patients in Q4 2024, 13 in Q1 2025, and 8 in Q2 to-date (as of May 9, 2025)
  • 100% success rate in manufacturing to date, with no capacity constraints and an average turnaround of 27 days
  • Successful patient access to Tecelra with no payer denials to date

Financial Results for the three months ended March 31, 2025

  • Cash / liquidity position: As of March 31, 2025, Adaptimmune had cash and cash equivalents of $41.1 million and Total Liquidity2 of $59.6 million, compared to $91.1 million and $151.6 million respectively, as of December 31, 2024.
  • Revenue: Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $7.3 million, compared to $5.7 million for the same period in 2024. Revenue has increased primarily due to $4.0 million in product sales following the FDA approval of TECELRA on August 1, 2024. This was offset by a $2.4 million decrease in development revenue due to revenue from Galapagos replacing Genentech revenue and Galapagos generating comparatively lower revenue due to the collaboration being at an earlier stage of progress than the Genentech collaboration was in the first quarter of 2024.
  • Research and development (R&D) expenses: R&D expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025, were $28.9 million, compared to $35.2 million for the same period in 2024. R&D expenses decreased due to a decrease in the average number of employees engaged in R&D following the restructuring and reprioritization of activities that was announced in November 2024 and a decrease in subcontracted expenditure, offset by a decrease in offsetting reimbursements receivable for R&D tax and expenditure credits.
  • Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses: SG&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025, were $23.3 million, compared to $19.7 million for the equivalent period in 2024. SG&A expenses increased due to restructuring charges for the restructuring program initiated in the fourth quarter of 2024 for which there was no equivalent in the first quarter of 2024 and an increase in accounting, legal and professional fees due to fees relating to business development work, offset by a decrease in share-based compensation expense due to forfeitures arising as a result of the restructuring program.
  • Net loss: Net loss attributable to holders of the Company's ordinary shares for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was a loss of $47.6 million ($0.03 per ordinary share), compared to $48.5 million ($0.03 per ordinary share), for the equivalent period in 2024.
