Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Cellectis S.A. reported unaudited results for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Revenues were $11.0 million, mainly from the AstraZeneca joint research collaboration, down from $27.4 million a year earlier, and total revenues and other income were $14.5 million.

Research and development expenses rose to $52.2 million and selling, general and administrative costs to $11.3 million, leading to an operating loss of $48.7 million. A net financial gain of $9.2 million, driven largely by fair value gains on European Investment Bank warrants and markedly lower foreign-exchange losses, partially offset operating losses.

The period’s net loss was $39.6 million, or $0.39 per basic and diluted share, compared with a $41.9 million loss in the prior-year period. At June 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents were $35.6 million and fixed-term deposits classified as current financial assets were $131.1 million. The company states these resources are sufficient to fund operations for at least twelve months after board approval of these financial statements.

Filing Explained

As of June 30, 2026, EIB warrants remained potential share issuance, so dilution was conditional rather than current issuance.

As a Form 6-K, this filing furnishes Cellectis’s material interim information. The report shows that previously issued European Investment Bank warrants remain potential sources of ordinary-share issuance: dilution would arise only if the disclosed exercise mechanics take effect.

Each warrant entitles the EIB to acquire one ordinary share after paying its applicable exercise price. The warrants become exercisable upon specified events, including a change of control, related loan maturity, certain takeover or asset-sale events, certain debt repayments, or an event of default; after an exercise event, the EIB may also require repurchase of exercisable warrants.

The company accounts for the warrants and related put options as Level 3 financial liabilities rather than equity instruments. Their reported carrying value was $12,863 thousand at June 30, 2026, versus $22,059 thousand at December 31, 2025. Separately, the $1.3 million current State-Guaranteed Loan liability at June 30 was fully repaid in July 2026.

The relevant watch points are the occurrence of an Exercise Event, any EIB exercise or repurchase, and the stated warrant expirations from April 17, 2043 through December 18, 2044.

A research tax credit is a government incentive that lets companies reduce their tax bill when they spend money on developing new products, processes or technologies. Think of it like a coupon that lowers the cost of costly experiments and innovation; it matters to investors because it improves a company’s cash flow and profitability, can make long-term projects more affordable, and therefore can influence valuation, capital allocation and growth prospects.

All references in this interim report to “$” and “U.S. dollars” mean U.S. dollars and all references to “€” and “euros” mean euros, unless otherwise noted.

This interim report, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws, including the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 27A of the Securities Act. All statements other than present and historical facts and conditions contained in this interim report, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy, plans and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. When used in this interim report, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “is designed to,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “objective,” “should,” or the negative of these and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties and are made in light of information currently available to us. Actual results, performance or events may differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statement. Many important factors may adversely affect such forward-looking statements and cause actual results to differ from those in any forward-looking statement, including, without limitation, inconclusive clinical trial results or clinical trials failing to achieve one or more endpoints; early data not being repeated in ongoing or future clinical trials; promising preclinical data not yielding positive clinical results; failures to secure required regulatory approvals; regulatory developments in the United States and European Union and its member countries, and other countries; disruptions from failures by third-parties on whom we rely in connection with our clinical trials; delays or negative determinations by regulatory authorities; changes or increases in oversight and regulation; increased competition, including within the hemato-oncology field, which may affect our assessment of the relative strategic priority of our various research and development programs; manufacturing delays or problems; inability to achieve enrollment targets; disagreements with our collaboration partners or failures of collaboration partners to pursue product candidates; legal challenges, including product liability claims or intellectual property disputes or disputes with respect to a licensing agreement; any failure to achieve potential benefits or our licensing agreements with licensees or to enter into future arrangements; the ability and willingness of licensees to actively pursue development activities under our collaboration agreements; commercialization factors, including regulatory approval and pricing determinations; disruptions to access to raw materials or starting material; delays or disruptions at our in-house manufacturing facilities; proliferation and continuous evolution of new technologies; capital resource constraints; the rate and degree of market acceptance of, and demand for, our product candidates; dislocations in the capital markets; our ability to attract and retain key scientific and management personnel; and other important factors described under “Risk Factors” and “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 20, 2026 (the “Annual Report”) and under “Risk Factors” in the interim reports that we file with the SEC. As a result of these factors, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this interim report will prove to be accurate. Furthermore, if our forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by us or any other person that we will achieve our objectives and plans in any specified time frame or at all. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2026

Note 1. The Company

Cellectis S.A. (hereinafter “Cellectis” or “we”) is a limited liability company (“société anonyme”) registered and domiciled in Paris, France.

We are a clinical stage biotechnological company, employing our core proprietary technologies to develop products based on gene-editing, with a portfolio of allogeneic Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cells (“UCART”) product candidates in the field of immuno-oncology and gene therapy product candidates in other therapeutic indications.

Our UCART product candidates, based on gene-edited T-cells that express Chimeric Antigen Receptors (“CARs”), seek to harness the power of the immune system to target and eradicate cancers. We believe that CAR-based immunotherapy is one of the most promising areas of cancer research, representing a new paradigm for cancer treatment. We are designing next-generation immunotherapies that are based on gene-edited CAR T-cells. Our gene-editing technologies allow us to create allogeneic CAR T-cells, meaning they are derived from healthy donors rather than the patients themselves. We believe that the allogeneic production of CAR T-cells will allow us to develop cost-effective, “off-the-shelf” products that are capable of being stored and distributed worldwide. Our gene-editing expertise also enables us to develop product candidates that feature additional safety and efficacy attributes, including control properties designed to prevent them from attacking healthy tissues, to enable them to tolerate standard oncology treatments, and to equip them to resist mechanisms that inhibit immune-system activity.

Together with our focus on immuno-oncology, we are using our gene-editing technologies to develop gene therapy product candidates in other therapeutic indications. The relative emphasis we place on our programs and product candidates may evolve from time-to-time in light of a variety of factors.

Cellectis S.A., Cellectis, Inc., Cellectis Biologics, Inc., as a consolidated group of companies, are sometimes referred to as the “Group.”

Note 2. Accounting principles

2.1 Basis for preparation

The Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Cellectis as of, and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 were approved by our Board of Directors on August 6, 2026.

The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in thousands of U.S. dollars. See Note 2.2.

These Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2026 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2025 ("last annual financial statements"). They do not include all of the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. However selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements.

The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 have been prepared using the same accounting policies and methods as those applied for the year ended December 31, 2025, except as described below related to the new or amended accounting standards applied.

 

The Group presents its operations as one reportable segment corresponding to the Therapeutics segment.

Application of new or amended accounting standards or new amendments

The following pronouncements and related amendments have been adopted by us from January 1, 2026 but had no significant impact on the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements:

Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 regarding Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity (effective for the accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026)
Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments – Amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7

10


 

Financial Instruments: Disclosures (effective for the accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026).
Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards (effective January 1, 2026)

Accounting standards, interpretations and amendments issued but not yet effective

The following pronouncements and related amendments are applicable for periods beginning after January 1, 2026, as specified below. The Group has not early adopted the following new or amended accounting standards in preparing these consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and applies for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027. The new accounting standard introduces the following key new requirements.

Entities are required to classify all income and expenses into five categories in the statement of consolidated operations, namely the operating, investing, financing, discontinued operations and income tax categories. Entities are also required to present a newly-defined operating profit subtotal. Entities’ net profit will not change.

Management-defined performance measures (MPMs) are to be disclosed in a single note in the financial statements.

In addition, all entities are required to use the operating profit subtotal as the starting point for the statement of cash flows when presenting operating cash flows under the indirect method.

The Group is still in the process of assessing the impact of the new accounting standard, particularly with respect to the structure of the Group’s statement of consolidated operations, the statement of consolidated cash flows and the additional disclosures required for MPMs. The Group is also assessing the impact on how information is grouped in the financial statements, including for items currently labelled as ‘other’.

Other accounting standards

 

The following new and amended accounting standards are not expected to have significant impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements:

- IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures (issued in April 2024 and effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027)

- Amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027)

- Amendments to IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027)

- IFRS 20 Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2029)

 

Going concern

 

The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared on a going concern basis.

 

With cash and cash equivalents of $35.6 million and fixed-term bank deposits of $131.1 million as of June 30, 2026 (classified as a current financial asset), the Company believes its cash and cash equivalents, together with such fixed-term deposits will be sufficient to fund its operations for at least twelve months following the date the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements' were approved by our Board of Directors.

Our assessment of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations is a forward-looking statement and involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary as a result of a number of factors. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect or choose to revise our strategy to extend our cash runway.

11


 

2.2 Currency of the financial statements

The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in U.S. dollars, which differs from the functional currency of Cellectis, which is the euro. We believe that this presentation enhances the comparability with peers, which primarily present their financial statements in U.S. dollars.

All financial information (unless indicated otherwise) is presented in thousands of U.S. dollars.

2.3 Accounting treatment of transactions with AstraZeneca

We present below the accounting treatment applied in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Cellectis as of and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 concerning the collaboration and investment agreements entered into with AstraZeneca Holdings B.V. ("AZ Holdings") and AstraZeneca Ireland Limited ("AZ Ireland") and, together with AZ Holdings and their respective affiliates, "AstraZeneca". The purpose of this note is to bring together information on these transactions and their accounting treatment in the Group's financial statements. It is supplemented by information on the specific financial statement items impacted by these transactions in the notes to the financial statements dedicated to these items hereafter.

On November 1, 2023, Cellectis and AstraZeneca entered into a Joint Research and Collaboration Agreement (the “AZ JRCA”) and an Initial Investment Agreement ("IIA"). Pursuant to the AZ JRCA, AZ Ireland and Cellectis agreed to collaborate to develop up to 10 novel cell and gene therapy candidate products, selected from a larger pool of potential targets identified by AZ Ireland, for human therapeutic, prophylactic, palliative, and analgesic purposes. Each party is responsible for performing research and development activities based on research plans (each a "Research Plan") to be agreed upon throughout the initial five-year collaboration term under the AZ JRCA.

Pursuant to the IIA, on November 6, 2023, AZ Holdings made an initial equity investment of $80 million in Cellectis by subscribing to 16,000,000 ordinary shares at a price of $5.00 per share (the “Initial Investment”). On November 14, 2023, Cellectis and AZ Holdings signed the SIA for an additional equity investment of $140 million ("the Subsequent Investment") by AZ Holdings that was completed on May 3, 2024. The additional investment was made by way of subscription of 10,000,000 “class A” convertible preferred shares and 18,000,000 “class B” convertible preferred shares, in each case at a price of $5.00 per share. Both classes of preferred shares benefit from a liquidation preference and are convertible into ordinary shares with the same rights as the outstanding ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis.

Interdependence of the Initial Investment Agreement and the Subsequent Investment Agreement with the AZ JRCA

The IIA and the AZ JRCA were both signed on November 1, 2023, and the SIA was subsequently signed on November 14, 2023. The IIA, SIA and AZ JRCA were negotiated concurrently, and the execution of the IIA was a condition to the signing of the AZ JRCA. In addition, for both the IIA and the SIA, the price per share pursuant to such agreements was set at a level significantly higher than the quoted market price for the Company’s ordinary shares at their respective signing dates.

Considering all these factors, we concluded that in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards and for accounting purposes only, the IIA, SIA and AZ JRCA are accounted for as a single transaction as they were not negotiated based upon independently based market conditions.

Therefore, in accordance with applicable accounting standards, we allocated a portion of the proceeds received from AZ Holdings under the IIA and the initial fair value of the derivative recognized for the SIA to the AZ JRCA as additional consideration for the services to be rendered under the AZ JRCA, which is recorded as deferred revenue.

To estimate the portion of the share purchase price that exceeds fair value, we first assessed the fair value of both investment agreements at the date of initial recognition (i.e., on November 1, 2023 for the IIA and on November 14, 2023 for the SIA) and allocated to the AZ JRCA a portion of the share purchase proceeds equal to the difference between this initial fair value determination and the transaction price, i.e. the proceeds. As the proceeds from the SIA were zero at inception on November 14, 2023, the initial fair value of the SIA is allocated in full to the AZ JRCA.

The fair value of the IIA at the initial recognition date was determined on the basis of Cellectis' share price at the date of signature, and amounted to $44.3 million (for more details refer to the Consolidated Financial statements as of December 31, 2025). The initial

12


 

fair value of the SIA was estimated to be $48.4 million (for valuation method details and parameters refer to the Consolidated Financial statements as of December 31, 2025).

In accordance with applicable IFRS standards, we allocated $35.7 million of the proceeds received from the sale of ordinary shares pursuant to the IIA to the AZ JRCA and $48.4 million, representing the fair value of the derivative pursuant to the SIA to the AZ JRCA.

As the additional consideration is fixed from the inception of the IIA and SIA, it is reflected in the AZ JRCA transaction price from inception and initially recorded as deferred revenue totaling $84.1 million. The corresponding income will be recognized as revenue in profit and loss, in accordance with the characteristics of AZ JRCA performance obligations, when satisfied.

 

Accounting treatment of the Subsequent Investment Agreement

At the signing date of the SIA, the closing of this additional equity investment was subject to the fulfillment of several preceding conditions. This contract met all derivatives criteria and was recognized according to the principles of IFRS 9, under which the derivative instrument was recognized at its fair value with any subsequent change of fair value recognized in profit and loss. On May 3, 2024, the cash received following the additional investment has been recognized on the balance sheet, the derivative has been derecognized, and any difference between the cash received and the fair value of the derivative at closing date has been recognized against share premium and share capital.

At initial recognition, the fair-value of the derivative was $48.4 million. The fair value of this instrument was remeasured on December 31, 2023 and on May 3, 2024 and respectively amounted to $42.7 million and $57.0 million (for details refer to the Consolidated Financial statements as of December 31, 2024). The difference in fair value measurement of $14.3 million between December 31, 2023 and May 3, 2024 was recognized in financial income in profit and loss in 2024. The payment of $57.0 million was recorded in 2024 on the statement of consolidated cash flows in "Decrease (increase) in trade receivables and other current assets" as part of cash flows from operating activities.

Analysis of the Joint Research Collaboration Agreement

In addition to an upfront payment of $25 million made by AZ Ireland to Cellectis under the AZ JRCA, AZ Ireland agreed to reimburse Cellectis for its budgeted research costs associated with targets identified under the AZ JRCA. Cellectis is also eligible to receive an option exercise fee and development, regulatory and sales-related milestone payments, plus tiered royalties based on the sale of Licensed Products (as defined in the AZ JRCA).

On November 17, 2025, AZ Ireland and Cellectis entered into an amendment to the JRCA to prospectively change the structure of the milestone payments, leading to an aggregate amount of up to $80 million to up to $253 million per each of the 10 candidate products (vs. up to $70 million to up to $220 million per candidate products previously).

As part of our analysis of the AZ JRCA under IFRS 15 requirements, we concluded that the $25 million upfront payment is to be included in the transaction price at contract inception and allocated to each research activity performance on a reasonable basis.

Analysis of Cellectis' performance obligations under the Joint Research Collaboration Agreement

We consider Cellectis renders two promises under each of the Research Plans. In particular, Cellectis and AZ Ireland enter into (i) a service component in the form of delegated research activities, and (ii) a license component in the form of an option to license over the intellectual property created as part of the AZ JRCA, granted by Cellectis to AZ Ireland if AZ Ireland exercises its option. Both components are essential and highly inter-related, and therefore represent a combined performance obligation.

The combined performance obligation is satisfied over time because, subject to the terms of the AZ JRCA, AZ Ireland has an exclusive right over intellectual property created as part of each Research Plan. As a consequence, Cellectis would not have rights over such intellectual property and therefore no alternative use outside of the performance of the Research Plan, and Cellectis has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

Cellectis’ obligation to generate intellectual property over which AZ Ireland will have exclusive right is limited to the Research Plan activities and there will be no further research activities after completion of each Research Plan. Therefore, the combined performance obligation under a Research Plan is satisfied over the Research Plan term, i.e. over the period during which Cellectis will render the research activities.

13


 

Under each Research Plan, we measure the progress of our performance obligation based on research costs incurred in relation to the total costs budgeted for that Research Plan.

We are allocating upfront payments totaling $109.1 million, i.e. the AZ JRCA upfront payment of $25.0 million, the IIA upfront payment of $35.7 million and the initial fair value of the SIA derivative of $48.4 million, to each of the Research Plans on a reasonable basis.

We evaluate the transaction price allocated to each Research Plan at each period-end, including variable elements in the transaction price only if it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur, and taking into account the share of upfront payments allocated to each Research Plan. We apply to this total the percentage of completion estimated as described above to determine the revenue to be recognized in profit and loss for each Research Plan.

 

 

Note 3. Scope of consolidation and non-consolidated entities

Consolidated entities

As of June 30, 2026, Cellectis S.A. owns 100% of Cellectis, Inc., which owns 100% of Cellectis Biologics, Inc.

For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, the consolidated group of companies (sometimes referred to as the “Group”) includes Cellectis S.A., Cellectis, Inc. and Cellectis Biologics, Inc.

Investments in associates

As of June 30, 2026, we hold 17.0% of Primera’s shares and voting rights and consider that we continue to exercise significant influence over Primera. After taking into account Primera’s net loss since May 17, 2023 (date we began to have significant influence) and applying our ownership rate, the value of our investment is immaterial. We have no legal or contractual obligation to bear losses in excess of our share.

In view of the immaterial value of our investment in Primera at inception and as of June 30, 2026, we do not present the investment in associates on a separate line in our consolidated statements of financial position or our consolidated statements of operations.

Revenues were $11.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, primarily reflecting the recognition of $10.7 million related to performance obligations satisfied under the Research Plans of the AZ JRCA with AZ Ireland, compared with $26.9 million recognized during the corresponding period in 2025. The $16.4 million decrease in revenues was primarily driven by the level of activities performed under the Research Plans during the period.

Revenue recognized in respect of each Research Plan with AZ Ireland has been estimated in accordance with the provisions set out in Note 2.3. We have estimated the progress of our performance obligation on the basis of costs incurred to date compared with total budgeted costs for each Research Plan. We applied a percentage of completion thus obtained to the total transaction price allocated to each Research Plan, excluding variable remuneration for which it is not highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. As of June 30, 2026, the transaction price allocated to each Research Plan excluding variable remuneration for which it is not highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur, corresponds to the development milestone already achieved, the amount of rechargeable costs in accordance with the agreement, and the share of upfront payments allocated to each Research Plan.

The $0.6 million increase in other income between the six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2026 was primarily attributable to a higher research tax credit resulting from increased eligible R&D expenses, as well as favorable foreign exchange effects.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, research and development expenses increased by $7.2 million compared with the corresponding period in 2025. This increase was primarily driven by (i) a $4.5 million increase in personnel expenses, reflecting changes in our R&D headcount and higher stock-based compensation expense associated with awards granted in 2026, whose grant-date fair value increased due to a higher underlying share price, and (ii) a $3.7 million increase in purchases and external expenses, mainly attributable to higher clinical development costs related to our BALLI-01 and NATHALI-01 studies. These increases were partially offset by a $1.0 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses, primarily attributable to the expiration in January 2026 of the contractual lease term for equipment at our Raleigh manufacturing facility.

Over the same period, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.5 million mainly due to higher stock-based compensation expense resulting from awards granted in 2026, whose grant-date fair value increased due to a higher underlying share price.

For the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, research and development expenses increased by $1.9 million compared with the corresponding period in 2025. This increase was primarily driven by (i) a $1.7 million increase in purchases and external expenses, and (ii) a $0.8 million increase in personnel expenses mainly attributable to higher stock-based compensation expense associated with awards granted in 2026, whose grant-date fair value increased due to a higher underlying share price. These increases were partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses, primarily attributable to the expiration in January 2026 of the contractual lease term for equipment at our Raleigh manufacturing facility.

Between the six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2026, the net financial gain (loss) improved by $27.3 million, from a net financial loss of $18.1 million to a net financial gain of $9.2 million, due to a $5.0 million increase in financial income and a $22.3 million decrease in financial expenses.

The $5.0 million increase in financial income was primarily attributable to (i) a $7.0 million increase in non-cash gains recognized from fair value measurements, mainly reflecting an $8.7 million gain on the fair value measurement of the Tranche A, B and C warrants issued to the European Investment Bank ("EIB") (see note 12) in the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with a $1.2 million gain in the same period in 2025, partially offset by (ii) a $1.7 million decrease in interest income earned on cash, cash equivalents and financial assets, and (iii) a $0.4 million decrease in foreign exchange gains.

The $22.3 million decrease in financial expenses was primarily attributable to a $22.8 million decrease in foreign exchange losses, mainly resulting from the appreciation of the US dollar against the euro.

Note 5. Impairment tests

Accounting policy

Amortizable intangible assets, depreciable tangible assets and right-of-use are tested for impairment when there is an indicator of impairment. Whenever possible, impairment tests involve comparing the carrying amount of the assets on a standalone-basis with the recoverable amount. When it is not possible to perform the impairment test at the individual asset level, the test is conducted at the level of the Company's cash-generating unit (CGU). The recoverable amount of an asset or a CGU is the higher of (i) its fair value

19


 

less costs of disposal and (ii) its value in use. If the recoverable amount of any asset or CGU is below its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized to reduce the carrying amount to the recoverable amount.

The group has a single CGU corresponding to the Therapeutic segment.

No indicator of impairment has been identified for any intangible or tangible assets for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025.

Note 6. Right-of-use assets

Details of Right-of-use assets

Under the provision of IFRS 16 “Leases”, the Company recognizes a right of use asset and lease liability on the statement of financial position.

As of June 30, 2026, our non-current restricted cash primarily consisted of $2.0 million related to our leased premises in Raleigh and $0.2 million for our leased premises in New York. The $0.2 million decrease since December 31, 2025 was mainly due to the reclassification of a portion of our restricted cash related to our leased premises in Raleigh to current financial assets (see Note 11).

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, other financial assets primarily related to our net investment in the partial sublease of our premises in New York, which is accounted for as a finance lease.

Other non-current assets consist of research tax credit receivables, which are expected to be recovered after a three-year period following their initial recognition. The $2.7 million increase in non-current research tax credit receivables was primarily attributable to the Research tax credit income recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2026 (see Note 4.1), partially offset by an unfavorable foreign exchange rate impact of $0.7 million.

Prepaid expenses and other prepayments primarily include advances to our subcontractors on research and development activities, as well as prepaid insurance premiums. The $1.6 million increase in prepaid expenses and other prepayments between December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026 was mainly attributable to additional advance payments to R&D suppliers.

Conditional advances

On March 8, 2023, we entered into a grant and refundable advance agreement with Bpifrance ("BPI") to partially finance one of our R&D programs related to the eti-cel product candidate and associated CMC activities. Pursuant to this agreement, we received a first installment of $0.9 million on June 19, 2023, a second installment of $1.9 million on October 6, 2023 and a third installment of $2.1 million on December 6, 2024.

Repayment of this advance was initially scheduled over a 3-year period starting on March 31, 2028, except in the event of technical or economic failure of the R&D project. On January 30, 2026, the repayment term was extended by 18 months, with the first repayment installment due on September 30, 2029.

The amount repayable is equal to the principal amount increased by a discounting adjustment calculated at an annual rate of 3.04%, in accordance with the European Commission’s principles governing State aid. The amount of this discounting adjustment is expected to be €1.1 million ($1.2 million), resulting in the total repayment amount of €5.6 million ($6.4 million).

This refundable advance from BPI includes a government grant component as defined in IAS 20. Because this advance bears a below-market interest rate, the Group measured the fair value of each installment using a market rate of interest and recognized the difference between the cash proceeds received and the fair value of the advance as grant income.

Based on a market interest rates of 16.1% for the first installment, 15.2% for the second installment and 8.7% for the third installment, determined using the credit spreads observed on loans contracted by Cellectis with comparable maturities, the Group measured the fair value of the advance at $3.0 million at inception. The difference between the fair value of the refundable advance and the cash proceeds received was recognized as grant income in profit and loss upon receipt of the funds. The advance is subsequently measured at amortized cost.

The amendment dated January 30, 2026 which extended the repayment term by 18 months, did not have a material impact on the carrying amount of the advance. The remeasurement of the contractual cash flows resulted in the recognition of $0.2 million of financial income and $0.3 million of financial expense during the six-month period ended June 30, 2026.

State-Guaranteed loan

The State-Guaranteed Loan (“Prêt Garanti par l’Etat”, or “PGE”) consists of a €18.5 million loan (equivalent to $21.1 million at exchange rate as of June 30, 2026) provided by a banking syndicate comprising HSBC, Société Générale, Banque Palatine and BPI.

The PGE loan bears a fixed interest rate ranging from 0.31% to 3.35%. Following an initial two-year interest-only period, the loan is amortized over up to four years at the Company's election. The French government guarantees 90% of the principal amount borrowed.

As of June 30, 2026, the current liability related to the State-Guaranteed Loan amounted to $1.3 million and was fully repaid in July 2026 in accordance with the contractual repayment schedule.

Other current and non-current financial liabilities

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, other current financial liabilities mainly consisted of financing obtained from BPI in August 2023 in respect of the Company's 2022 Research Tax Credit receivable, in the principal amount of €5.3 million ($6.0 million and $6.2 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively).

European Investment Bank (“EIB”) credit facility

On December 28, 2022, Cellectis entered into a finance contract (the “Finance Contract”) with the EIB for up to €40.0 million in financing to support research and development activities relating to its pipeline of gene-edited allogeneic cell therapy candidate products for oncology indications (the “R&D Activities”).

The Finance Contract provided for funding in three tranches: (i) an initial tranche of €20.0 million (“Tranche A”), disbursed on April 17, 2023; (ii) a second tranche of €15.0 million (“Tranche B”), disbursed on January 25, 2024; and (iii) a third tranche of €5.0 million (“Tranche C”), disbursed on December 18, 2024. Tranche A, Tranche B and Tranche C mature six years from their respective disbursement dates and bear contractual interest at annual rates of 8%, 7% and 6%, respectively. Interest is capitalized annually and added to the outstanding principal amount.

On March 30, 2023, the Company and EIB entered into a Subscription Agreement relating to warrants to be issued by Cellectis S.A. (the “Warrant Agreement”), as required under the Finance Contract.

27


 

As a condition to the disbursement of Tranche A, the Company issued 2,779,188 Tranche A warrants to the EIB at the exercise price of €1.92 per warrant. As a condition to the disbursement of Tranche B, the Company issued 1,460,053 Tranche B warrants to the EIB at the exercise price of €2.53 per warrant. As a condition to the disbursement of Tranche C, the Company issued 611,426 Tranche C warrants to the EIB at the exercise price of €1.70 per warrant. The Tranche A, B and C warrants are collectively referred to as the "EIB Warrants". The exercise price of the warrants corresponds to 99% of the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s ordinary shares during the three trading days preceding the decision of the Board of Directors to issue each of the Tranche A, Tranche B and Tranche C warrants.

Each EIB Warrant entitles the EIB to acquire one ordinary share of the Company upon payment of the applicable exercise price, subject to customary adjustments and anti-dilution provisions.

The EIB Warrants expire on the twentieth anniversary of their issuance date, at which time any unexercised EIB Warrants will automatically lapse and become null and void.

Any outstanding EIB Warrant becomes exercisable upon the earliest to occur of: (i) a change of control event; (ii) the maturity date of related Tranche; (iii) a public takeover bid approved by the Company’s Board of Directors; (iv) a sale of all or substantially all of certain assets of Cellectis and its subsidiaries; (v) a debt repayment event (defined as any mandatory repayment pursuant to the Finance Contract or any voluntary repayment of more than 75% of any Tranche) in respect of one or more Tranches; or (vi) the receipt by Cellectis of a written demand for repayment from the EIB following an event of default under the Finance Contract (each, an “Exercise Event”).

Following the occurrence of an Exercise Event and until the expiration of the applicable EIB Warrants, the EIB may exercise a put option (the "EIB Put Option"), pursuant to which the EIB may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the then exercisable but unexercised EIB Warrants. The repurchase price would be equal to the fair market value of the EIB Warrants, subject to a cap equal to the aggregate principal amount disbursed by the EIB under the Finance Contract, less certain repaid amounts, as determined at the time the EIB Put Option is exercised.

Furthermore, in the event of any public take-over bid by a third party or a sale of all outstanding shares of the Company to any person or group of persons acting in concert, the Company may, subject to certain conditions, including the sale by certain shareholders of all of their shares and other securities, repurchase all, but not less than all, of the EIB Warrants (the "Call Option"). The repurchase price would be equal to the greater of: (a) 0.3 times the amount disbursed by the EIB under the Finance Contract divided by the aggregate number of EIB Warrants issued (as reduced by the number EIB Warrants previously exercised); and (b) the fair market value of the EIB Warrants.

The Company has a right of first refusal to repurchase any EIB Warrants offered for sale to a third party on the same terms and conditions as such third party’s offer, provided that such right of first refusal shall not apply if the contemplated sale occurs in connection with a public takeover bid by a third party.

The Finance Contract and the Warrant Agreement are separate instruments because they have different maturities and because the warrants are transferable, subject to certain conditions. Accordingly, the warrants are accounted for separately from the related loan.

Tranche A, B and C loans, as well as their related Tranche A, B and C warrants, are accounted for separately in accordance with IFRS 9. The drawdown of Tranches B and C cannot be analyzed as an amendment to the loan and warrant contracts of Tranche A or B, as each drawdown was subject to additional conditions, the related loans and warrants have different maturities, and the effective interest rate applicable to each tranche differs and reflects market conditions prevailing at the respective drawdown date.

The €20.0 million Tranche A loan is classified as a financial liability measured at amortized cost. Upon initial recognition on April 17, 2023, the carrying amount of the loan included $0.3 million of transaction costs and the $5.3 million fair value of the related warrants (see below Derivative Instruments), as the warrants formed part of the consideration provided to the EIB. The initial carrying value of the loan was $16.2 million. Thereafter, the loan is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with an effective interest rate of 13.4%.

The €15.0 million Tranche B loan is classified as a financial liability measured at amortized cost. Upon initial recognition on January 25, 2024, the carrying amount of the loan included the $3.5 million fair value of the related warrants (see below Derivative Instruments), as the warrants formed part of the consideration provided to the EIB. The initial carrying value of the loan was $12.8 million. Thereafter, the loan is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with an effective interest rate of 11.4%.

The €5.0 million Tranche C loan is classified as a financial liability measured at amortized cost. Upon initial recognition on December 18, 2024, the carrying amount of the loan included the $0.8 million fair value of the related warrants (see below Derivative

28


 

Instruments), as the warrants formed part of the consideration provided to the EIB. The initial fair value of the loan is $4.5 million. Thereafter, the loan is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with an effective interest rate of 8.85%.

Derivative Instruments – EIB Warrants

The warrants (Bons de Souscription d’Actions) issued in connection with the disbursement of the Tranches A, B and C are derivative instruments.

Based on the terms and conditions of the EIB Put Option, we consider that the Put Option and the Tranche A Warrants, Tranche B Warrants and Tranche C Warrants under each of the Tranches are to be treated as a single compound derivative.

Based on the terms and conditions of the Company’s Call Option, we consider it highly unlikely that the Company will exercise the Call Option. Accordingly, the call option was assigned a fair value of zero as of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026.

The “fixed for fixed” criterion of IAS 32, under which a derivative may be classified as an equity instrument only if will be settled by the exchange of a fixed number of shares for a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset, is not met. This is because the settlement provisions may result in the exchange of a variable number of shares for a variable amount upon exercise of the Put Option. Accordingly, the Tranche A, B and C Warrants and the related Put Option are not classified as equity instruments but as a financial liability measured at fair value through profit or loss.

The fair value of the Tranche A, B and C Warrants and the Put Option was estimated using a Longstaff-Schwartz valuation method. These derivative instruments are classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

This approach is particularly appropriate for estimating the fair value of American-style options, which may be exercised at any time between the occurrence of an exercise event and their maturity date, and which contain complex exercise features. In particular, the EIB may exercise the Warrants based on Cellectis’ spot share price or exercise the Put Option based on the average share price over a 90-day period.

The Longstaff-Schwartz valuation method also reflects the market price of the underlying shares at the valuation date, the historical volatility of the Company’s share price and the contractual term of the instruments.

Note 16. Non-cash stock-based compensation

Detail of Cellectis equity awards

Holders of vested Cellectis stock options and warrants are entitled to exercise stock options and warrants to purchase Cellectis ordinary shares at a fixed exercise price established at the grant date during their contractual term of the awards.

For stock options and warrants, we estimate the fair value of awards on the grant date, or other measurement date, if applicable, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model requires the use of subjective assumptions, including expected stock price volatility, expected term, dividend yield, and the forfeiture rate. We estimate expected stock price volatility based on historical closing prices of Cellectis ordinary shares over a period corresponding to the expected term of the award. The expected term represents the period during which the awards are expected to remain outstanding and is determined using the simplified method. The risk-free interest rate is based on French government securities with maturities similar to the expected term of the awards in effect at the grant date. We have never declared or paid cash dividends and do not currently anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, an expected dividend yield of zero was used in determining the fair value of the awards. Stock options and warrants may be granted with an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value of Cellectis ordinary shares on the grant date and generally vest over a four-year period. Stock options and warrants generally expire ten years after the grant date.

Stock options

The weighted-average fair values of stock options granted and the assumptions used for the Black-Scholes option pricing model were as follows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2026:

The fair value of free shares is based on the closing price of our ordinary shares at grant date. We have never declared or paid cash dividends and do not currently anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, an expected dividend yield of zero was used in determining the fair value of the awards.

On September 26, 2025, Factor Bioscience filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against Cellectis S.A., Cellectis, Inc., AstraZeneca Ireland Limited, and AstraZeneca Holdings B.V., alleging that Cellectis' TALEN-based gene-editing technology would infringe three of Factor's U.S. patents. Considering the early stage of the proceedings, our belief that we have meritorious defenses and our intention to vigorously defend this action, no liability has been recognized in the Company's Interim Condensed Statement of Consolidated Financial Position as of June 30, 2026.

 

36


 

On April 20, 2026, Life Technologies Corporation (“LTC”), a subsidiary of Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. ("TFS"), purported to terminate license agreements between LTC and Cellectis in 2014, which grant Cellectis non-exclusive rights under certain patents, the Halle Patent Therapeutic License, the Halle Patent Research License, and the GeneArt and Seamless Cloning Patent Therapeutic License (the « LTC Agreements »). This purported termination follows TFS’s allegations that we failed to comply with our obligations under the LTC Agreements, as previously disclosed. Simultaneously therewith, LTC commenced an arbitration before the American Arbitration Association, naming Cellectis S.A. and Cellectis Bioresearch, Inc. as Respondents. LTC’s arbitration demand alleges that Cellectis has breached the LTC License Agreements by underpaying sublicense royalties and otherwise failing to comply with our obligations under the LTC Agreements. According to us, this termination is invalid and LTC’s claims under this arbitration demand are without merit. Considering the early stage of the proceedings, our belief that we have meritorious defenses and our intention to vigorously defend this action, no liability was recognized in the Company's Interim Condensed Statement of Consolidated Financial Position as of June 30, 2026.

Calyxt Lease Guaranty

In addition to the amounts stated in the above table, in September 2017 Cellectis provided a guaranty on the lease agreement that Calyxt entered into for its headquarters in Roseville, Minnesota. The lease has a term of twenty years with four options to extend its term for five years.

Calyxt previously agreed to indemnify Cellectis for any obligations under this guaranty, effective upon Cellectis’ ownership falling to 50 percent or less of Calyxt’s outstanding common stock. Accordingly, Calyxt’s indemnification obligation was triggered in October 2022.

In connection with the Merger Agreement, we executed a voting agreement with Cibus to vote in favor of and approve all the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions thereof. Pursuant to the voting agreement, at such time that the annual revenues of Calyxt Inc. equals $25.0 million or more for two consecutive 12-month periods after the closing of the Merger, Cibus will use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate our guaranty of Calyxt’s lease agreement with respect to its headquarters, which we provided in favor of the landlord of that property. As of June 30, 2026, our lease guaranty represented a potential commitment in the amount of $19.2 million over the remaining 12-year lease period. Cibus, however, will not be required to replace us as guarantor or pay any fees in connection with termination of the guaranty. Until the parties are able to terminate our lease guaranty, Cibus may not renew or extend the lease or enter into any amendment that would increase our obligation under the lease guaranty. Further, Cibus, from and after the closing of the Merger, agrees to indemnify us and our affiliates in connection with the Cibus lease and our guaranty thereof.

 

Obligations under the terms of license agreements and collaboration agreements

We also have agreements whereby we are obligated to pay royalties and milestone payments based on future events which are highly uncertain and therefore they are not included in the table above.

Obligations under the terms of IT licensing agreements

We have entered into cloud-computing arrangements which are accounted for as service contracts. Under these arrangements, we have obligations to pay quarterly fixed fees per active number of user licenses.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

We are a clinical stage biotechnological company, employing our core proprietary technologies to develop products based on gene-editing, with a portfolio of allogeneic Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cells (“UCART”) product candidates in the field of immuno-oncology and gene therapy product candidates in other therapeutic indications.

Our UCART product candidates, based on gene-edited T-cells that express chimeric antigen receptors, or CARs, seek to harness the power of the immune system to target and eradicate cancers. We believe that CAR-based immunotherapy is one of the most promising areas of cancer research, representing a new paradigm for cancer treatment. We are designing next-generation immunotherapies that are based on gene-edited CAR T-cells. Our gene-editing technologies allow us to create allogeneic CAR T-cells, meaning they are derived from healthy donors rather than the patients themselves. We believe that the allogeneic production of CAR T-cells will allow us to develop cost-effective, “off-the-shelf” products that are capable of being stored and distributed worldwide. Our gene-editing expertise also enables us to develop product candidates that feature additional safety and efficacy attributes, including control properties designed to prevent them from attacking healthy tissues, to enable them to tolerate standard oncology treatments, and to equip them to resist mechanisms that inhibit immune-system activity.

Together with our focus on immuno-oncology, we are using our gene editing technologies to develop gene therapy product candidates in other therapeutic indications. The relative emphasis we place on our programs and product candidates may evolve from time-to-time in light of a variety of factors.

We are conducting our operations through one business segment, Therapeutics. Our Therapeutics segment is focused on the development of products in the field of immuno-oncology and other therapeutic indications.

Since our inception in early 2000, we have devoted substantially all of our financial resources to research and development efforts. Our current research and development focuses primarily on our CAR T-cells and gene therapy product candidates, including conducting the pre-clinical activities, and preparing to conduct clinical studies of our UCART product candidates, providing general and administrative support for these operations and protecting our intellectual property.

We do not have any therapeutic products approved for sale and have not generated any revenues from therapeutic product sales.

At the date of this Report, we are sponsoring clinical studies with respect to two proprietary Cellectis UCART product candidates: the BALLI-01 Study and the NATHALI-01 Study.

Partnered programs update

Servier: anti-CD19 CAR-T (cema-cel)

 

In April 2026, Allogene Therapeutics, Inc. (“Allogene”), Servier’s sublicensee, announced the interim futility analysis from its sponsored pivotal ALPHA3 trial evaluating cema-cel in first-line consolidation for large B-cell lymphoma. Cema-cel is a product candidate licensed to Servier under the License, Development and Commercialization Agreement signed by and between Les Laboratoires Servier and Institut de Recherches Internationales Servier (“Servier”) and Cellectis (the “Servier Agreement”) and sublicensed by Servier to Allogene in certain territories.

Allogene announced the futility analysis, which was triggered by the protocol-defined data cutoff of the 24th patient completing Day 45 minimal residual disease (“MRD”) assessment, showed that 58.3% (7/12) of patients in the cema-cel arm achieved MRD negativity compared to 16.7% (2/12) in the observation arm, representing a 41.6% absolute difference in MRD clearance between the arms. Allogene further announced that the cema-cel treatment was generally well-tolerated as of the cutoff, with most patients (10/12) managed in the outpatient setting post-infusion, no cases of cytokine release syndrome (CRS), immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) or treatment-related Serious Adverse Events, and no hospitalizations for treatment-related Adverse Events.

 

In July 2026, Allogene announced that the FDA has granted Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) and Fast Track designations to cema-cel for the treatment of adult patients with LBCL who, at the completion of first-line (1L) therapy, are in complete or partial response suitable for observation but test positive for minimal residual disease (MRD).

 

 

40


 

Allogene: anti-CD70 CAR-T

 

In July 2026, Allogene announced the publication of complete Phase 1 data from the TRAVERSE study of ALLO-316 in advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. Allogene announced that ALLO-316 achieved a 31% confirmed response rate with the recommended Phase 2 regimen in patients with Stage IV RCC with high CD70 expression, and that the safety profile was manageable with proactive diagnostic and management strategies effective in mitigating IEC-HS. Allogene’s investigational allogeneic CAR-T oncology products utilize Cellectis technologies. The anti-CD70 program is licensed exclusively from Cellectis by Allogene and Allogene holds global development and commercial rights to this program.

Iovance

In May 2026, Iovance announced that a Phase 1/2 trial, IOV-GM1-201, is enrolling using IOV-4001, a PD-1 inactivated TIL therapy, in previously treated advanced melanoma and NSCLC.

AstraZeneca

 

Activities are continuing under the Joint Research and Collaboration Agreement with AstraZeneca, which leverages Cellectis’ gene editing expertise and manufacturing capabilities to develop up to 10 novel cell and gene therapy products for areas of high unmet medical need, including oncology, immunology and rare genetic disorders.

For a discussion of our operating capital requirements and funding sources, please see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

The hemato-oncology field of our clinical stage product candidates has continued to attract new actors and expanded clinical activity industry-wide, and we continue to monitor the implications of this evolving competitive environment for our own pipeline prioritization.

Key events of the six-month period ended June 30, 2026

BALLI-01 Study (lasme-cel)

 

In June 2026, Cellectis received FDA Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation for lasme-cel for treatment of r/r CD22 positive B-ALL. This designation was granted based on the Phase 1 BALLI-01 clinical data, demonstrating promising efficacy and a manageable safety profile. It reflects the FDA's recognition of the potential of lasme-cel to address the unmet medical need faced by patients with r/r B-ALL.

 

In June 2026, Cellectis presented full Phase 1 data from the BALLI-01 trial at an oral presentation at the European Hematology Association (EHA) 2026 Annual Congress. 45 patients were treated in third line and beyond (3L+), including 15 at the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), and 7 in the target Phase 2 population. Patients were heavily pretreated with those in the target Phase 2 population receiving a median of 5 prior lines of therapy (range 2-11); 82% of patients were previously treated with blinatumomab, 53% with CD19 CAR-T, 56% with CD22-directed antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) and 47% had a prior hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). In the target Phase 2 population, an overall response rate (ORR) of 100% (7/7) was achieved with a complete remission/complete remission with incomplete count recovery (CR/CRi) rate of 57% (4/7), of whom 75% achieved minimal residual disease (MRD) negative status. All responding patients proceeded to HSCT. Lasme-cel demonstrated a manageable safety profile, with grade ≥ 3 cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and Immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), each occurring in 4% of patients. Immune effector cell-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis-like syndrome (IEC-HS) ≥ grade 3 occurred in 2% of patients. All events were resolved.

 

In June 2026, the UK MHRA approved the initiation of the Phase 2 study of BALLI-01 in the UK.

 

In July 2026, enrollments in the Phase 2 BALLI-01 study in France, Italy and Spain have been authorized.

 

NATHALI-01 Study (eti-cel)

 

In June 2026, Cellectis presented translational data highlighting the key drivers of response at a poster presentation at the EHA 2026 annual congress. As of the February 2026 data cutoff, 14 patients with r/r B-NHL had been treated across three dose levels, in a heavily pretreated population with a median of 3 prior lines of therapy, 93% of whom had received prior CD19-directed CAR-T therapy. In the optimal dose cohort (n=8), ORR and complete response (CR) were 88% and 63%, respectively. The analysis identified that higher alemtuzumab exposure was associated with a lower inflammatory homeostatic milieu prior to eti-cel infusion, enhanced eti-cel expansion, and higher response rates. Additionally, responders demonstrated sustained low‑level interleukin 2 (IL‑2) secretion

41


 

versus non-responders. These findings support a weight-based alemtuzumab dosing regimen, currently under investigation to optimize lymphodepletion. Subcutaneous low-dose IL-2 is also being evaluated to further enhance eti-cel expansion and response.

 

Cellectis continues to focus on the enrollment of patients in the BALLI-01 (lasme-cel) and NATHALI-01 (eti-cel) studies.

 

Changes to the Board of Directors

 

The shareholder meeting which took place on June 25, 2026, approved the renewal of Mr. Jean-Pierre Garnier, Mr. Laurent Arthaud, Mr. Rainer Boehm and Ms. Cécile Chartier as members of the Board of Directors of Cellectis.

 

 

Key events post June 30, 2026

None.

 

 

Financial Operations Overview

 

We have incurred net losses in nearly each year since our inception. Substantially all of our net operating losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with our development programs and from selling, general and administrative expenses associated with our operations. As we continue our intensive research and development programs, we expect to continue to incur significant expenses and expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future. As we assess the evolving competitive landscape for our allogeneic CAR-T product candidates, including the entry of additional competitors and potential market saturation, such factors may result in adjustments in the pace or focus of our research and development investments.

 

Many factors drive our anticipated expenses, including:

progression of our clinical trials BALLI-01, and NATHALI-01;
continuation of the advancement of the research and development of our current and future immuno-oncology product candidates;
advancement of our research and development efforts for our cell and gene therapy product candidates;
further development and refinement of the manufacturing process for our immuno-oncology product candidates;
maintenance of our manufacturing facilities in Paris (France) and Raleigh (North Carolina, USA), continued production at our in-house manufacturing facilities and changes or additions of additional manufacturers or suppliers of biological materials to support our in-house manufacturing capabilities;
potential to seek regulatory and marketing approvals for our product candidates, if any, that successfully complete development;
potential establishment of a sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure to commercialize any products for which we may obtain marketing approval;
continued research and development across programs to seek to identify and validate additional product candidates;
our potential acquisition or in-licensing of other product candidates, technologies or biological material;
possible milestone or other payments that may be need to be paid under any in-license agreements;
the maintenance, protection and expansion of our intellectual property portfolio;
our seeking to attract and retain new and existing skilled personnel;
the possibility that we experience any delays or encounter issues with any of the above.

We do not expect to generate material revenues from sales of our therapeutic product candidates unless and until we successfully complete development of, and obtain marketing approval for, one or more of our product candidates, which we expect will take a number of years and is subject to significant uncertainty. Accordingly, we anticipate that we will need to raise additional capital prior to completing clinical development of any of our therapeutic product candidates. Until such time that we can generate substantial

42


 

revenues from sales of our product candidates, if ever, we expect to finance our operating activities through a combination of milestone payments received pursuant to our collaboration and license agreements, equity offerings, debt financings, government or other third-party funding and new collaborations, and licensing arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such arrangements when needed on favorable terms, or at all, which would have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our development programs or commercialization efforts or grant to other rights to develop or market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves. Failure to receive additional funding could cause us to cease operations, in part or in full.

Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 ("IAS 34") - Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IASB.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, research and development expenses increased to $52.2 million from $45.0 million in the corresponding period in 2025. The $7.2 million increase was primarily attributable to higher personnel expenses and higher purchases and external expenses, partially offset by a decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses.

Personnel expenses increased by $4.5 million, from $19.3 million in 2025 to $23.8 million in 2026, reflecting changes in our R&D headcount and higher stock-based compensation expense associated with awards granted in 2026, whose grant-date fair value increased due to a higher underlying share price.

Purchases and external expenses increased by $3.7 million, from $16.1 million in 2025 to $19.8 million in 2026, primarily attributable to higher clinical development costs related to our BALLI-01 and NATHALI-01 studies.

 

These increases were partially offset by a $1.0 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses, primarily attributable to the expiration in January 2026 of the contractual lease term for equipment at our Raleigh manufacturing facility.

The $5.0 million increase in financial income was primarily attributable to (i) a $7.0 million increase in non-cash gains recognized from fair value measurements, mainly reflecting an $8.7 million gain on the fair value measurement of the Tranche A, B and C warrants issued to the European Investment Bank ("EIB") (see note 12) in the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with a $1.2 million gain in the same period in 2025, partially offset by (ii) a $1.7 million decrease in interest income earned on cash, cash equivalents and financial assets, and (iii) a $0.4 million decrease in foreign exchange gains.

The $22.3 million decrease in financial expenses was primarily attributable to a $22.8 million decrease in foreign exchange losses, mainly resulting from the appreciation of the US dollar against the euro.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Introduction

We have incurred losses and cumulative negative cash flows from operations in nearly each year since our inception in 2000, and we anticipate that we will continue to incur losses for at least the next several years. We expect that our research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses will continue to increase and, as a result, we will need additional capital to fund our operations, which we may raise through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, other third-party funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, alliances and licensing arrangements.

We have funded our operations since inception primarily through private and public offerings of our equity securities, debt financings, government grants (including payments of research tax credits), and payments received under collaboration and licensing agreements with third parties.

Our ordinary shares have been traded on the Euronext Growth market of Euronext in Paris since February 7, 2007, and our ADSs have traded on the Nasdaq Global Market in New York since March 30, 2015.

Liquidity management

As of June 30, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $35.6 million and fixed-term deposits of $131.1 million classified as current financial assets.

Cash in excess of immediate requirements is invested in accordance with our investment policy, primarily with a view to liquidity and capital preservation. As of June 30, 2026, our cash and cash equivalents were held in bank accounts and fixed-term bank deposits, primarily located in France. The portion of cash and cash equivalents, fixed term deposits and restricted cash denominated in U.S. dollars is $106.0 million as of June 30, 2026.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, net cash used in operating activities of $29.7 million was primarily driven by payments to suppliers of $26.9 million and payroll-related payments (including salaries, bonuses and social charges) totaling $28.5

million, partially offset by $16.8 million of cash received from customers, $4.9 million of interest received on financial investments, $1.9 million from VAT credit reimbursements and $1.2 million of reimbursements of social charges on forfeited stock options following the favorable resolution of a claim with the French social tax authorities.

 

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, net cash used in operating activities of $27.5 million was primarily driven by payments to suppliers of $23.2 million, and payroll-related payments (including salaries, bonuses and social charges) totaling $23.6 million, partially offset by $13.4 million of cash received from customers and $5.1 million of income on financial investments.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, net cash provided by investing activities of $12.5 million primarily reflected the net proceeds from fixed-term bank deposits (classified as current financial assets in the interim condensed statement of consolidated financial position) of $10.9 million and cash inflows of $2.0 million from other current financial assets previously subject to restrictions (restricted cash), partially offset by $0.5 million of capital expenditures.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, net cash used in investing activities of $48.5 million primarily reflected the net investments in fixed-term bank deposits (classified as current and non-current financial assets in the interim condensed statement of consolidated financial position) of $47.8 million and capital expenditures of $0.7 million.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, our net cash used in financing activities of $8.2 million primarily reflected repayments of $2.7 million under the "PGE" loan, and lease liability payments of $5.4 million.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, net cash used in financing activities of $8.4 million primarily reflected repayments of $2.6 million under the "PGE" loan and lease liability payments of $5.4 million.

Operating capital requirements

Our cash consumption is driven by our internal operational activities, including manufacturing activity conducted at our in-house manufacturing facilities, as well as our outsourced activities, including the pre-clinical research and development activities, manufacturing and technology transfer expenses payable to CMO providers, costs and expenses associated with our clinical trials, including payments to clinical research centers (CROs) involved in the clinical trials, and third-parties providing logistics and testing services. In addition, we incur significant annual payments and royalty expenses related to our in-licensing agreements with different parties including Life Technologies and University of Minnesota. We also incur substantial expenses related to audit, legal, regulatory and tax related services associated with our public company obligations in the United States and our continued compliance with applicable U.S. exchange listing and SEC requirements.

To date, we have not generated any revenues from therapeutic product sales. In addition to our cash generated by operations (including payments under our collaboration agreements), we have funded our operations since inception primarily through private and public offerings of our equity securities, debt financings, government grants (including payments of research tax credits), and payments received under collaboration and licensing agreements with third parties.

We do not know when, or if, we will generate any revenues from therapeutic product sales. We do not expect to generate significant revenues from product sales unless and until we obtain regulatory approval of and commercialize one of our current or future therapeutic product candidates.

We are subject to all risks associated with the development of new gene therapy products, and we may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors that may adversely affect our business.

We anticipate that we will need additional funding in connection with our continuing operations, including for the further development of our existing product candidates and to pursue other development activities related to additional product candidates.

 

With cash and cash equivalents of $35.6 million and deposits of $131.1 million as of June 30, 2026, the Company believes its cash and cash equivalents and deposits will be sufficient to fund its operations into the fourth quarter 2027 and therefore for at least twelve months following the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements' publication.

Our assessment of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations is a forward-looking statement and involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary as a result of a number of factors. We have based

46


 

this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Our future funding requirements, both near and long-term, will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:

the initiation, progress, timing, costs and results of pre-clinical and clinic studies for our product candidates;
the capacity of manufacturing our products in France and in the United States;
the outcome, timing and cost of regulatory approvals by U.S. and non-U.S. regulatory authorities, including the possibility that regulatory authorities will require that we perform more studies than those that we currently expect;
the ability of our product candidates to progress through clinical development successfully;
the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights;
the costs of defending any litigations or the outcome of any litigations
our need to expand our research and development activities;
our need and ability to hire additional personnel;
our need to implement additional infrastructure and internal systems, including manufacturing processes for our product candidates;
the effect of competing technological and market developments, including increasing competitive density in the hemato-oncology field, which could influence how we prioritize capital among our immuno-oncology and other gene therapy programs;
the cost of establishing sales, marketing and distribution capabilities for any products for which we may receive regulatory approval.

If we cannot expand our operations or otherwise capitalize on our business opportunities because we lack sufficient capital, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2026, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC rules.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk that affect us, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in Item11 of Part I of the Annual Report. There have been no material changes in information that would have been provided in the context of Item 3 from the end of the preceding year until June 30, 2026.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We must maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in order to accurately and timely report our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, as a public company, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, requires, among other things, that we assess the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting at the end of each fiscal year. We issued management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as of December 31, 2025.
