Immunocore Holdings plc
Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
Notes to the Financial Statements
1. Organization and nature of business
Immunocore Holdings plc (the "Company") is a public limited company incorporated in England and Wales and has the following wholly owned subsidiaries, Immunocore Limited,
Immunocore LLC, Immunocore Commercial LLC, Immunocore Ireland Limited and Immunocore Nominees Limited (collectively referred to as the "Group").
On February 9, 2021, the Company completed its initial public offering ("IPO") of 11,426,280 American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") representing 11,426,280
ordinary shares with nominal value of 0.002 per ordinary share for aggregate gross proceeds of $297,083,000. The Company's ADSs began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol "IMCR" on February 5, 2021. In addition to
the ADSs sold in the IPO, the Company completed the concurrent sale of an additional 576,923 ADSs at the initial offering price of $26.00 per ADS, for gross proceeds of approximately $15.0 million, in a private placement to the Bill & Melinda
Gates Foundation ("Gates Foundation").
The IPO and private placement to the Gates Foundation generated net proceeds of 210,985,000 after underwriting discounts, commissions and directly
attributable offering expenses.
Prior to completion of the IPO, Immunocore Holdings Limited was incorporated in England and Wales on January 7, 2021. Following a subsequent corporate
reorganization, Immunocore Holdings Limited became the ultimate parent company for the Group and was re-registered as a public limited company with the name Immunocore Holdings plc, the registrant. The corporate reorganization has been accounted
for as a business combination under common control and therefore, Immunocore Holdings plc is a continuation of Immunocore Limited and its subsidiaries. The corporate reorganization has been given retrospective effect in these financial
statements and such financial statements represent the financial statements of Immunocore Holdings plc.
The principal activity of the Group is pioneering the development of a novel class of TCR bispecific immunotherapies called ImmTAX - Immune
mobilizing monoclonal TCRs Against X disease - designed to treat a broad range of diseases, including cancer, infectious and autoimmune. Leveraging its proprietary, flexible, off-the-shelf ImmTAX platform, the Group is developing a deep
pipeline in multiple therapeutic areas, including five clinical stage programs in oncology and infectious disease, advanced pre-clinical programs in autoimmune disease and multiple earlier pre-clinical programs.
2. Significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 have been prepared in accordance with
International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" ("IAS 34"). The accounting policies and methods of computation applied in the preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim
financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for the full annual financial statements and should be read
in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on March 25, 2021 (the "Annual Report").
The unaudited condensed and consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis, as modified by the recognition of certain financial
instruments measured at fair value and are presented in pounds sterling which is the Company's functional currency. All values are rounded to the nearest thousand, except where otherwise indicated.
Date of authorization
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were prepared at the request of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") and were approved by the
Board on November 10, 2021 and signed on its behalf by Dr. Bahija Jallal, Chief Executive Officer of the Group.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
There have been no recent new accounting standards that have had an impact on these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements. New accounting standards
not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or did not have a material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements or processes.
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Phase 1, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), became
effective. Phase 1 contained amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, and IFRS 7 related to the impact of interest rate benchmark reform on hedging relationships. These amendments were not applicable to the Group, as the Group does not have any hedging
arrangements. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, the Group adopted the amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4, and IFRS 16 related to Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Phase 2, issued by the IASB, which addresses issues
that might affect financial reporting during the reform on an interest rate benchmark. The only financial instrument subject to interest rate reform is the Group's loan and security agreement ("Loan Agreement") with Oxford Finance Luxembourg
S.A.R.L. ("Oxford Finance"), which has a carrying amount of 37,280,000 as of September 30, 2021 ( 36,654,000 as of December 31, 2020). Currently, borrowings under the Loan Agreement bear interest at an annual rate equal to LIBOR plus 8.85%,
with a minimum rate of 9.01% and a maximum rate of 12.01%. LIBOR is the subject of recent national, international, and other regulatory guidance and proposals for reform, which may cause LIBOR to cease to exist after 2021 or to perform
differently than in the past. While the Group expects that alternatives to LIBOR will be implemented prior to the 2021 target date or that the 2021 cessation date may be extended, the consequences and timing of these developments cannot be
predicted. There is currently no definitive information regarding the future utilization of LIBOR or of any replacement rate. A transition away from LIBOR as a benchmark for establishing the applicable interest rate may adversely affect the
Group's outstanding variable-rate indebtedness.
The Group reported cash and cash equivalents of 256,551,000 and net current assets of 234,546,000 as at September 30,
2021, with an operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 of 97,330,000 and net cash used in operating activities of 79,778,000. The negative operational cash flow was largely due to the continuing focus on the research,
development, and clinical activities to advance the programs within the Group's pipeline. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company completed its IPO and the concurrent private placement to the Gates Foundation and received
aggregate net proceeds of $286,887,000. Further, the Group's lead product candidate, tebentafusp, is undergoing Priority Review and Accelerated Assessment Procedure by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and European Medicines
Agency, respectively, following acceptance of the Group's Biologics License Application, in the United States and Marketing Authorization Application in Europe. While the Group generated a negative operational cash
flow overall, pre-product revenue of 474,000 was generated from sales of tebentafusp, the Group's lead product candidate, under a compassionate use program in France.
In assessing the going concern assumptions, the Board has undertaken an assessment of the current business and strategy forecasts covering a two-year period,
which includes the potential receipt of commercial revenue assuming regulatory approval is received for tebentafusp. In assessing the downside risks, the Board has also considered a number of severe but plausible scenarios incorporating the impact of a delay or failure to receive regulatory approval for tebentafusp. As part of considering the downside
risks, the Board has considered the impact of the ongoing coronavirus 2019 ( COVID-19'') pandemic and have concluded that the pandemic may have a future impact on the Group's business and implementation of its
strategy and plans, but it anticipates that any such impact will be minimal on clinical trials or other business activities over the period assessed for going concern purposes. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company is not
aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require the Company to update its estimates, assumptions and judgments or revise the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and any
such differences may be material to the Company's financial statements.
Given the current cash position and the assessment performed, the Board is confident that the Group will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they
fall due until at least the third quarter of 2023 and therefore, have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis. As the Group continues to incur significant expenses in the pursuit of its business strategy, additional funding
will be needed before further existing programs may be expected to reach commercialization, which would potentially lead to operational cash inflows. Until the Group can generate significant revenue from product sales, if ever, it expects to
finance its operations through a combination of public or private equity offerings and debt financings or other sources, such as potential collaboration agreements, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements.
Estimates and judgements
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IAS 34 requires management to make judgments, estimates and
assumptions. These judgments, estimates and assumptions affect the reported assets and liabilities as well as contingent liabilities and income and expenses in the financial period.
The estimates and associated assumptions are based on information available when the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared, historical
experience and various other factors which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Judgements and assumptions are primarily made in relation to revenue recognition, the valuation of ordinary shares prior to the IPO, the incremental
borrowing rate for leases and valuation of derivatives.
Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the Group's control. Hence,
estimates may vary from the actual results.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which they become known and are
applied prospectively.
Those judgements and estimates made, together with our significant accounting policies, are disclosed in the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year
ended December 31, 2020, included in the Annual Report. There have been no material changes to these accounting policies for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
IPO-related expenses
Incremental costs incurred and directly attributable to the offering of securities were deducted from the related proceeds of the IPO. The net amount is recorded as
contributed shareholders' equity in the period when such ordinary shares, represented by ADSs, were issued. Costs that are not incremental and directly attributable to issuing new shares, represented by ADSs, are recorded as an expense in the
consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive income. Costs that relate to both new share issuances and listing of existing shares are allocated between those functions on a rational and consistent basis. In the absence of a more specific
basis for apportionment, an allocation of common costs based on the proportion of new ordinary shares issued to the total number of (new and existing) ordinary shares listed in the form of ADSs has been used.
