Frederick Vogt, Ph.D., J.D., Interim President and Chief Executive Officer of Iovance, stated, "Iovance has made tremendous progress year-to-date. With our rolling BLA submission for lifileucel and six active clinical trials of TIL therapy underway, we are executing our mission to innovate, develop and deliver TIL therapy for patients with cancer. We are on track to complete our BLA submission in the fourth quarter. As we prepare for our first potential FDA approval and commercial launch and advance our pipeline and technology platforms, we believe we have multiple opportunities to create significant value for patients with cancer as well as for our shareholders."

Third Quarter 2022 Highlights and Recent Corporate Updates

Regulatory and Clinical Updates for Iovance TIL Therapy (Lifileucel) in Advanced Melanoma

BLA Submission: A rolling BLA submission for lifileucel in advanced melanoma (post-anti-PD-1 therapy) commenced in August 2022 and is anticipated to complete in the fourth quarter of 2022.

C-144-01 Trial Presentation and Poster at Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) (Free SITC Whitepaper): Iovance reported positive topline clinical data from Cohorts 2 and 4 of the C-144-01 clinical trial in advanced melanoma in the second quarter of 2022. A pooled analysis and additional results for Cohorts 2 and 4 will be presented during SITC (Free SITC Whitepaper)’s 37th Annual Meeting as well as a Webcast on November 10, 2022.

Phase 3 trial in frontline advanced melanoma: Iovance remains on track to begin the Phase 3 trial of lifileucel in combination with pembrolizumab in frontline advanced melanoma in late 2022. The Phase 3 trial is intended to expand the opportunity for lifileucel as an earlier treatment and serve as a confirmatory study.

Poster at European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) (Free ESMO Whitepaper) Congress 2022: A poster at ESMO (Free ESMO Whitepaper) highlighted the potential for lifileucel in advanced melanoma patients who progress after anti-LAG-3 and anti-PD-1 combination therapy. Lifileucel response rates were consistent between the overall C-144-01 study population and a C-144-01 subgroup analysis of patients treated with prior anti-LAG-3 containing therapy.
Manufacturing and Commercial Preparations

The Iovance Cell Therapy Center (iCTC) is currently operating flex suites for clinical manufacturing and core suites for activities to support BLA submission and review, including pre-approval inspections, in preparation for commercial supply.

The iCTC facility as currently built has annual capacity to supply TIL therapies for 2,000+ patients, with flexibility to build out existing shell space to supply 5,000+ patients.

Contract manufacturers provide additional flexibility and capacity for Iovance to meet potential commercial and clinical demand, including a new agreement for two cGMP manufacturing suites for commercial manufacturing and supply.

Iovance is executing several initiatives ahead of potential commercialization in 2023, including on-boarding and personnel training at authorized treatment centers (ATCs), education and awareness, and other launch readiness activities.
Clinical Pipeline

Iovance TIL therapy (LN-145) in mNSCLC: Enrollment is ongoing at more than 40 active clinical sites in the U.S., Canada and Europe for the IOV-LUN-202 trial of LN-145 in patients with mNSCLC. Iovance is engaged in discussions with the FDA about the potential for IOV-LUN-202 to serve as a registrational trial for LN-145 in mNSCLC and intends to execute an updated regulatory strategy based on this dialogue and feedback.

Iovance PD-1 inactivated TIL therapy (IOV-4001) in previously treated advanced melanoma or mNSCLC: the first patient was dosed, and completed the safety observation period, in the IOV-GM1-201 trial of IOV-4001, Iovance’s first genetically modified TIL therapy. To inactivate the gene coding for the PD-1 protein, IOV-4001 utilizes the gene editing TALEN technology licensed from Cellectis.

Lifileucel in advanced cervical cancer: Iovance expanded Cohort 2 of the ongoing C-145-04 trial to enroll additional patients. Following FDA discussions and feedback, Cohort 2 is intended to support a BLA in cervical cancer following progression on chemotherapy and pembrolizumab.
Research Programs for Next-Generation TIL Therapies and Related Technologies

Additional research and preclinical studies focused on optimizing TIL therapy consist of several targets for genetic modification using the gene-editing TALEN technology, including double genetic knock-out programs, as well as approaches to increase TIL potency using CD39/69 double negative TILs and gene knock-in targets that incorporate enhancements such as tethered cytokines.

A novel interleukin-2 (IL-2) analog (IOV-3001) is in IND-enabling studies supporting its use as part of the TIL treatment regimen following TIL infusion.
Corporate

Cash position of $366.6 million at September 30, 2022 is expected to be sufficient into 2024.

Iovance currently owns at least 60 granted or allowed U.S. and international patents for TIL compositions and methods of treatment and manufacturing in a broad range of cancers, with Gen 2 patent rights expected to provide exclusivity into 2038. More information on Iovance’s patent portfolio can be found on the Intellectual Property page on www.iovance.com.

Iovance had $366.6 million in cash, cash equivalents, investments and restricted cash at September 30, 2022, compared to $602.1 million at December 31, 2021. The cash position is expected to be sufficient to fund current and planned operations into 2024.

Jean-Marc Bellemin, Chief Financial Officer of Iovance, said, "As a late-stage oncology company approaching potential commercialization, our cash position continues to support our prudent investments in commercial launch preparations, internal manufacturing and pipeline expansion into several milestones to create value for patients and shareholders."

Net loss for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022, was $99.6 million, or $0.63 per share, compared to a net loss of $86.1 million, or $0.55 per share, for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021. Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $290.6 million, or $1.85 per share, compared to a net loss of $242.9 million, or $1.60 per share, for the same period ended September 30, 2021.

Recent developments and highlights include:

Third quarter 2022 total revenue of $46.3 million, reflecting a 10% increase over the third quarter of 2021. Total revenue was composed of (in thousands, except %):
Awarded $9.1 million contract by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment (IBAS) program for development of pathogen reduced, lyophilized cryoprecipitate ("LyoCryo") to treat bleeding due to trauma.
Received Health Canada approval for 7-day shelf life for INTERCEPT platelets.
Receipt of feedback from and close-out of all modules by our notified body, TUV, related to our INTERCEPT Red Blood Cells CE Mark submission; review by the competent authority is ongoing.
Third quarter 2022 net loss attributable to Cerus Corporation of $8.5 million, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share, reflecting an improvement of $3.9 million over the prior year period of $12.4 million, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share, led by strength of growing INTERCEPT platelet business in North America coupled with continued financial discipline.
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2022 was negative $2.7 million, compared to negative $5.6 million during the prior year period. For additional information, please see definitions and the reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to net loss attributable to Cerus Corporation accompanying this release.
Narrowing full-year product revenue guidance to a range of $160 million to $162 million, given foreign exchange rate headwinds anticipated for the rest of the year.
Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments were $103.8 million at September 30, 2022.
"We continue to execute in this challenging environment on our mission to make INTERCEPT the standard of care in transfusion medicine and have progressed on our manufacturing expansion efforts," said William ‘Obi’ Greenman, Cerus’ president and chief executive officer. "Despite the 6% FX headwind, the resiliency in our business of safeguarding the global blood supply is evident in our results, even in the face of continued macroeconomic and geopolitical challenges over the balance of this year."

"We expect to see continued strong demand for INTERCEPT platelets as we close out the year, and at the same time, we see expanded adoption of our IFC product, which we believe has the potential to impact patient’s lives meaningfully. Given the global nature of our business coupled with expectations for strength of the dollar going forward, we are narrowing our 2022 product revenue guidance range to $160-162 million for the full year," Greenman continued. "Importantly, with this growth and our continued financial discipline, we have been progressing towards our goal of cashflow breakeven."

Revenue

Product revenue during the third quarter of 2022 was $39.6 million, compared to $36.1 million during the prior year period. The 10% year-over-year growth in product revenue during the quarter comes despite ongoing headwinds associated with unfavorable foreign exchange rates, primarily with respect to average EUR:USD rates, resulting in a top-line impact of 6% year-over-year. The reported revenue growth was once again led by continued demand for our platelet products in North America.

Third quarter 2022 government contract revenue was $6.8 million, compared to $6.0 million during the prior year period. Reported government contract revenue is comprised of funding associated with research and development (R&D) activities related to the INTERCEPT Blood System for Red Blood Cells and sponsored efforts related to the development of next-generation pathogen reduction technology for whole blood.

Product Gross Profit & Margin

Product gross profit for the third quarter of 2022 was $21.9 million, increasing by $3.4 million over the prior year period. Product gross margin for the third quarter of 2022 was 55.4% compared to 51.3% for the third quarter of 2021, up more than 300 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2022.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2022 were $36.1 million compared to $35.6 million for the same period of the prior year. Ongoing financial discipline during the quarter continues to position the Company for reaching cashflow breakeven in the near term.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the third quarter of 2022 totaled $19.9 million, compared to $20.4 million for the third quarter of 2021, reflecting ongoing leverage of the Company’s expense structure with ramping product sales.

R&D expenses for the third quarter of 2022 were $16.2 million, compared to $15.3 million for the third quarter of 2021. In the third quarter, the increase in Company’s R&D expenses on a year-over-year basis were related to the development of next generation product and LED illuminator, partially offset by the completion of the Phase IV PIPER study in 2021.

Net Loss Attributable to Cerus Corporation

Net loss attributable to Cerus Corporation for the third quarter of 2022 was $8.5 million, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss attributable to Cerus Corporation of $12.4 million, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share, for the third quarter of 2021.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2022 was negative $2.7 million, compared to non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA of negative $5.6 million for the third quarter of 2021. For additional information, please see definitions and the reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to net loss attributable to Cerus Corporation accompanying this release.

Balance Sheet & Cash Use

At September 30, 2022, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $103.8 million, compared to $107.0 million at June 30, 2022.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company carried $55.0 million of notes due and a balance on its revolving line of credit of $14.9 million. The Company continues to have access to an additional $5 million under its revolving line of credit.

For the third quarter, net cash used in operating activities totaled $2.1 million as compared to $6.6 million during the prior year period. For the first nine months of 2022, net cash used in operating activities totaled $23.9 million as compared to $32.7 million during the prior year period. In both instances, increased product sales and their gross profit contribution, as well as strong working capital management, drove the improvements versus the prior year period.

2022 Product Revenue Guidance

The Company is narrowing its previously stated product revenue guidance range. The Company expects full-year 2022 product revenue to be in the range of $160 million to $162 million, compared to its previous guidance range of $160 million to $165 million, representing anticipated continued strong demand for our products and expectations for continued strength of the U.S. dollar versus the Euro.
