Rhea-AI Filing Summary
ADC Therapeutics reported consolidated revenue of $18.8 million for the quarter and $41.9 million for the six months, driven by U.S. product sales of ZYNLONTA and increased license/royalty income. The company recorded a net loss of $56.6 million for the quarter and $95.2 million for the six months, reflecting higher R&D spending and a $13.1 million charge for restructuring and impairments tied to a plan to close the UK facility and reduce global headcount by approximately 30%.
Liquidity was strengthened by a June private placement that generated gross $100.0 million (net $93.1 million), leaving cash and cash equivalents at $264.6 million. Material longer-term obligations include a deferred royalty obligation (fair value ~$312.0 million, carrying balance rolled to $340.4 million in the rollforward) and senior secured term loans with a carrying value of $114.5 million and an effective interest rate of 16.15%. Shareholders' deficit was $(199.2) million at June 30, 2025.

ADC Therapeutics meldete konsolidierte Umsatzerl枚se von $18.8 million im Quartal und $41.9 million in den sechs Monaten, gest眉tzt durch US-Produktverk盲ufe von ZYNLONTA sowie erh枚hte Lizenz-/Royalty-Einnahmen. Das Unternehmen verzeichnete einen Nettoverlust von $56.6 million im Quartal und $95.2 million in den sechs Monaten, bedingt durch h枚here F&E-Ausgaben und einen Aufwand von $13.1 million f眉r Restrukturierung und Wertminderungen im Zusammenhang mit dem Plan, die UK-Anlage zu schlie脽en und die globale Belegschaft um etwa 30% zu reduzieren.
Die Liquidit盲t wurde durch eine Privatplatzierung im Juni gest盲rkt, die Bruttoerl枚se von $100.0 million (Netto $93.1 million) erbrachte, wodurch Zahlungsmittel und Zahlungsmittel盲quivalente bei $264.6 million lagen. Wesentliche langfristige Verpflichtungen umfassen eine aufgeschobene Royalty-Verpflichtung (Fair Value ~$312.0 million, Buchwert im Rollforward auf $340.4 million hochgerollt) sowie vorrangige besicherte Termkredite mit einem Buchwert von $114.5 million und einem effektiven Zinssatz von 16.15%. Das Eigenkapitaldefizit belief sich zum 30. Juni 2025 auf $(199.2) million.
Positive
- Private placement net proceeds of $93.1 million strengthened cash resources
- Cash and cash equivalents of $264.6 million at June 30, 2025 provide near-term liquidity
- Product revenue increased to $18.1 million for the quarter (up 6.2% year-over-year)
- $5.0 million license payment recognized upon Health Canada conditional approval (contributed to license revenue)
Negative
- Net loss widened to $56.6 million for the quarter (from $36.5 million prior-year quarter) and $95.2 million for six months
- Restructuring, impairment and related costs of $13.1 million in Q2 (including $6.4 million impairments) reduced operating results
- Large deferred royalty obligation with carrying amounts and fair value in the hundreds of millions (rollforward balance to $340.4 million) increases leverage
- Senior secured term loan carrying value $114.5 million with a high effective interest rate of 16.15%, driving significant interest expense
- Shareholders' deficit of $(199.2) million at June 30, 2025
Insights
TL;DR: Mixed near-term outlook 鈥� liquidity improved by private placement, but losses widened due to higher R&D and one-time restructuring charges.
ADC shows revenue growth versus prior year quarters, with $18.8M in Q2 product and total revenues of $18.8M (Q2) and $41.9M (six months). However, operating loss widened to $44.1M for the quarter and net loss to $56.6M, driven by increased R&D (+23.9% QoQ comparison) and a $13.1M restructuring and impairment charge. The June private placement provided meaningful cash inflow ($93.1M net), supporting near-term liquidity ($264.6M cash). Material long-term obligations 鈥� deferred royalty financing and a senior secured term loan 鈥� remain sizable and will continue to affect leverage and interest expense.
TL;DR: Strategic reprioritization is clear 鈥� near-term costs and impairments were recognized to focus resources on ZYNLONTA and a PSMA program.
The Board-approved 2025 Restructuring resulted in a workforce reduction of ~30% and UK facility closure, producing $6.7M of severance-related charges and $6.4M of impairment and prepaid expense write-offs in Q2. The company remeasured lease liabilities and right-of-use assets, reflecting accelerated termination and a revised lease term. These actions are consistent with a concentrated R&D and commercialization focus and generate one-time charges while reducing ongoing cost structure, although exact run-rate savings and the timing of realized benefits are disclosed only in aggregate.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report, including statements regarding our future catalysts, results of operations and financial position, business and commercial strategy, market opportunities, products and product candidates, research pipeline, ongoing and planned preclinical studies and clinical trials, regulatory submissions and approvals, research and development costs, projected revenues and expenses and the timing of revenues and expenses, timing and likelihood of success, as well as plans and objectives of management for future operations are forward-looking statements. Many of the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “expect,” “should,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “will” and “potential,” among others.
Forward-looking statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information available to our management at the time such statements are made. Such statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements due to various factors, including, but not limited to:
•the substantial net losses that we have incurred since our inception, our expectation to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future and our need to raise additional capital to fund our operations and execute our business plan;
•our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations and execute our business plan, which will depend on financial, economic and market conditions, the number of authorized shares, and other factors, over which we may have no or limited control;
•our indebtedness under the loan agreement and guaranty (the “Loan Agreement”) with certain affiliates and/or funds managed by each of Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. and Owl Rock Capital Advisors LLC, as lenders, and Blue Owl Opportunistic Master Fund I, L.P., as administrative agent, and the associated restrictive covenants thereunder;
•the purchase and sale agreement (the “HCR Agreement”) with certain entities managed by HealthCare Royalty Management, LLC (“HCR”) and its negative effect on the amount of cash that we are able to generate from sales of, and licensing agreements involving, ZYNLONTA and on our attractiveness as an acquisition target;
•our ability to complete clinical trials on expected timelines, if at all;
•the timing, outcome and results of ongoing or planned clinical trials and the sufficiency of such results;
•undesirable side effects or adverse events of our products and product candidates;
•our and our partners’ ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approval for our product and product candidates;
•our and our partners’ ability to successfully commercialize our products;
•the availability and scope of coverage and reimbursement for our products;
•the complexity and difficulty of manufacturing our products and product candidates;
•the substantial competition in our industry, including new technologies and therapies;
•our ability to continue to fund, or enter into collaborative or partnership arrangements for our early research programs, and the timing, results and future clinical outcomes of such early research programs;
•our reliance on third parties for preclinical studies and clinical trials and for the manufacture, production, storage and distribution of our products and product candidates and certain commercialization activities for our products;
•our ability to obtain, maintain and protect our intellectual property rights and our ability to operate our business without infringing on the intellectual property rights of others;
•our estimates regarding future revenue, expenses, liquidity, capital resources and needs for additional financing;
•the size and growth potential of the markets for our products and product candidates;
•potential product liability lawsuits and product recalls for our products;
•the success of the Company's strategic restructuring plan; the estimated costs associated with the restructuring plan including the workforce reduction and planned closure of the UK facility, or any changes thereto;
•the uncertainties of international trade policies, including tariffs, sanctions and trade barriers and potential impact they may have on our business, financial condition, and results of operations;
•and those identified in the “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in our other reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), from time to time thereafter.
Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified and some of which are beyond our control, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties. Except as
Table of Contents
required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise.
In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | ||
| (Unaudited) | ||
| (in thousands, except per share amounts) | ||
1.Description of Business and Organization
ADC Therapeutics is a commercial-stage global leader and pioneer in the field of antibody drug conjugates (“ADCs”), transforming treatment for patients through our focused portfolio with ZYNLONTA ® (loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl) and an early stage prostate-specific membrane antigen targeting ADC (“PSMA-targeting ADC”).
The Company generates sales from its flagship product, ZYNLONTA, which was granted accelerated approval by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in the U.S. for the treatment of relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (“DLBCL”) in the 3L setting and has also been granted conditional approval from the European Commission, conditional approval from the China National Medical Products Administration and conditional approval by Health Canada. Beyond ZYNLONTA, ADC Therapeutics is leveraging its expertise to advance IND-enabling activities for a next-generation PSMA-targeting ADC which utilizes a differentiated exatecan-based payload with a novel hydrophilic linker.
The Company was incorporated on June 6, 2011 under the laws of Switzerland, with its registered office located at Route de la Corniche 3B, 1066 Epalinges, Switzerland. The Company has two wholly-owned subsidiaries: ADC Therapeutics America, Inc. (“ADCT America”), which was incorporated in Delaware, USA on December 10, 2014 and ADC Therapeutics (UK) Ltd (“ADCT UK”), incorporated in England on December 12, 2014. The Company and its two subsidiaries form the ADCT Group (the “Group”).
2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of preparation and principles of consolidation
These accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, have been prepared following the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes and other financial information that are normally required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, can be condensed or omitted. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q should be read in conjunction with our annual audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for the fair statement of our financial position and operating results. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025, for any other interim period or for any future period.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Restructuring Charges
On June 11, 2025, the Board of Directors approved a strategic reprioritization and restructuring plan (the “2025 Restructuring”), pursuant to which the Company plans to shut down its UK facility and reduce the global workforce

Table of Contents | ||
across functions by approximately 30 %. Restructuring charges consist primarily of employee severance, contract termination costs and other costs. Liabilities for costs associated with a restructuring activity are recognized when the liability is incurred and are measured at fair value. For one-time employee terminations benefits, the Company recognizes the liability in full on the communication date when future services are not required or amortizes the liability ratably over the service period, if required. One-time termination benefits include severance, continuation of health insurance coverage for certain employees, and other company funded benefits. The Company evaluates and adjusts these costs as appropriate for changes in circumstances as additional information becomes available. See Note 15 for additional information regarding restructuring expenses.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets by geographic area are as follows:
| (in thousands) | ||||||||||||||
| Country | June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | ||||||||||||
Switzerland | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
United Kingdom | ||||||||||||||
United States | ||||||||||||||
| $ | $ | |||||||||||||
As a result of the 2025 Restructuring, the Company recognized $5.4 million of impairment losses on its long-lived asset group associated with the UK facility during the three months ended June 30, 2025. See Note 15 for further information regarding the restructuring and associated impairment of long-lived assets.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Issued but not yet adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU requires the annual financial statements to include consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company’s annual reporting periods beginning in January 2025. Adoption is either with a prospective method or a fully retrospective method of transition. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements. The Company does not anticipate adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our financial results but may result in enhanced or expanded disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses Disclosure. The ASU requires disaggregation, in the notes to the financial statements, of certain cost and expense captions presented on the face of the Company’s interim and annual financial statements. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning in January 2027 and interim periods beginning January 2028, with early adoption permitted. Adoption may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

3.Fair value measurements
The carrying amount of Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts Receivable, net and Accounts payable is a reasonable approximation of fair value due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. Financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis include our senior secured term loan and deferred royalty financing obligation. The carrying value of our senior secured term loan approximates fair value as these borrowings are based on variable market rates. The fair value of our deferred royalty obligation was approximately $312.0
The Deerfield warrants were measured at fair value on a recurring basis and were classified as Level 2. The warrants expired on May 19, 2025 in accordance with their terms and therefore, there were no warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2025. As of December 31, 2024 the value of the Deerfield warrants was $0 . Fair values were estimated at the end of each reporting period with regard to the Deerfield warrants. The approach to valuation follows the fair value principle, and the key input factors are described for the Deerfield warrants in Note 9, "Deerfield warrants." A Black-Scholes model was used to calculate the fair values.
There were no transfers between the respective levels during the period.
4.Inventory
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 inventory consisted of the following:

6.Leases
The Company leases space for its corporate offices and research and development facilities under non-cancellable operating leases.
As a result of the 2025 Restructuring, and in accordance with the UK facility lease agreement which allows for early termination upon notice and payment of breakage fees, the Company notified the landlord of its intention to terminate the lease. As a result, the associated lease liability and right-of-use asset were remeasured to $1.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively, reflecting the revised lease payments and term end date of January 28, 2026. The remeasurement resulted in a $6.8
The remaining right-of-use asset associated with the UK facility was assessed for impairment as part of the overall asset group. See Note 15 for further information regarding the restructuring and associated impairment of long-lived assets.
On May 15, 2025, the Company modified the terms of its existing lease for its office in New Jersey, USA. The existing lease contract was scheduled to expire on June 30, 2025. The Company extended the term of the lease by eighteen months commencing on July 1, 2025 and expiring on December 31, 2026. Accordingly, the Company remeasured its lease liability and adjusted its right-of-use asset based on the revised lease term.
Maturities of lease liabilities are as follows:
| Year ending December 31, 2025 | $ | |||||||
| Year ending December 31, 2026 | ||||||||

8.Senior secured term loan facility
On August 15, 2022, the Company, ADCT UK and ADCT America entered into the Loan Agreement, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to $175.0 million principal amount of secured term loans, including (i) a First Tranche and (ii) Future Tranches. On August 15, 2022, the Company drew down $120.0 million principal amount of term loans under the Loan Agreement.
On August 15, 2022, the Company also issued to the lenders under the Loan Agreement warrants to purchase an aggregate of 527,295 common shares, which warrants have an exercise price of $8.30 per share. Each warrant is exercisable, on a cash or a cashless basis, at the option of the holder at any time on or prior to August 15, 2032. The warrants are freestanding financial instruments that are indexed to the Company’s common stock and meet all other conditions for equity classification under ASC 480 and ASC 815. Accordingly, these warrants are recognized in equity and accounted for as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance.
On August 15, 2022, the Company also entered into the Share Purchase Agreement with the lenders under the Loan Agreement to purchase 733,568 common shares of the Company.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded interest expense on the senior secured term loan in the amount of $4,274 and $8,059 , respectively, and $4,413 and $8,816 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, which was recorded in interest expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The effective interest rate (“EIR”) at June 30, 2025 was 16.15 %.
The following table provides a summary of the interest expense for the Company’s senior secured term loan for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

The warrants consisted of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,631,578 common shares at an exercise price of $24.70 per share and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,781,262 common shares at an exercise price of $28.07 per share. Each warrant was exercisable, on a cash or a cashless basis, at the option of the holder, at any time on or prior to May 19, 2025. The warrant obligation, which was included in other long-term liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, was remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the fair value losses of the warrant obligation at the end of each period were recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company did no 2.2 million and $(0.8 ) million, respectively. This amount was recorded to Other, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The warrants expired on May 19, 2025 in accordance with their terms and therefore, there were no warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2025. The fair value of the warrant obligation as of December 31, 2024 was $0 . See Note 16, "Other income (expense)" for further information.
The Company valued the Deerfield warrant obligation using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Key inputs for the valuation of the warrant obligation as of December 31, 2024 were as follows:

11.Pension and post-retirement benefit obligations
The pension plan for Swiss employees is a defined benefit pension plan. The Company contracted with the Swiss Life Collective BVG Foundation based in Zurich for the provision of occupational benefits. All benefits in accordance with the regulations are reinsured in their entirety with Swiss Life SA within the framework of the corresponding contract. This pension solution fully reinsures the risks of disability, death and longevity with Swiss Life. Swiss Life invests the vested pension capital and provides a 100 % capital and interest guarantee. The pension plan is entitled to an annual bonus from Swiss Life comprising the effective savings, risk and cost results.
Although, as is the case with many Swiss pension plans, the amount of ultimate pension benefit is not defined, certain legal obligations of the plan create constructive obligations on the employer to pay further contributions to fund an eventual deficit; this results in the plan nevertheless being accounted for as a defined benefit plan.

12.Commitments and contingencies
Manufacturing Commitments
Some of our inventory components require long lead times to manufacture. Therefore, we make long-term investments in our supply chain in order to ensure we have enough drug product to meet current and future revenue forecasts. Third party manufacturing agreements include non-cancelable obligations related to the supply of ZYNLONTA and the company’s product candidates. There have been no material changes related to our non-cancelable obligations under these arrangements as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Contingent liabilities
As a result of the 2025 Restructuring, and in accordance with the UK lease agreement, the Company notified the landlord of its intention to terminate the lease. In accordance with the lease terms, the landlord may require the Company to return the leased space to its original condition upon termination of the lease agreement, including the removal of the Company’s leasehold improvements. There remains uncertainty in relation to the specific works to be removed, if any, and amounts are not reasonably estimable at June 30, 2025. Therefore, no liability has been recorded at June 30, 2025. The Company will monitor negotiations with the landlord and record a liability when amounts become reasonably estimable.
13.Shareholders’ equity
2025 Private Placement
On June 11, 2025, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements for the sale of its equity securities to certain institutional investors. In the private placement, the Company sold 13,031,161 common shares at $3.53 per share, which was the last reported sale price of the common shares on the New York Stock Exchange on June 11, 2025, and pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase 15,734,267 common shares at $3.43 per pre-funded warrant, which is the price per common share in the private placement minus the exercise price of CHF 0.08 per pre-funded warrant (collectively, the “2025 Private Placement”). The private placement closed on June 16, 2025. Gross proceeds from the 2025 Private Placement were $100.0 million, and, after giving effect to $6.9 million of transaction costs related to the private placement, net proceeds were $93.1 million.
The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable, on a cash or cashless basis, at the option of the holder after the date of issuance until the tenth anniversary of their original issuance. At any time during the last 90 days of the term, the holder may exchange the Pre-Funded Warrant for, and we will issue, a new pre-funded warrant for the number of common shares then remaining under the Pre-Funded Warrant. The Pre-Funded Warrants have certain limitations on exercise, including (i) any exercise must be for at least 50,000 common shares (or, if less, the remaining common shares available for purchase under the Pre-Funded Warrants), (ii) a holder cannot exercise for any amount that would cause such holder’s beneficial ownership of our common shares to exceed 9.99 % (or 19.99 % with 61-days ’ notice to us), and (iii) cashless exercise is not available in certain circumstances as specified in the Pre-Funded Warrants. The warrants contain customary anti-dilution adjustments and will entitle holders to receive any dividends or other distributions paid on the underlying common shares prior to their expiration on an as-exercised basis.
Accounting for the 2025 Private Placement and Pre-funded Warrants
The Company has accounted for the common shares and Pre-funded Warrants described above each as freestanding financial instruments.
The common shares for the private placement were issued from the Company’s capital range. The common shares were recorded as $42.4 million to equity for the issuance of the common shares, net of transaction costs accrued and paid, and an increase in cash and cash equivalents.
The warrants are freestanding financial instruments that are indexed to the Company’s common stock and meet all other conditions for equity classification under ASC 480 and ASC 815, including the warrant holders cannot require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, and there is sufficient authorized and unissued shares to settle the warrants. Accordingly, these warrants are recognized as $50.8 million in equity and accounted for as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance, net of transaction costs accrued and paid, and an increase in cash and cash equivalents.
Transaction costs have been allocated to the warrants and the common shares based on the relative fair value method. Transaction costs associated to the warrants and common shares have been deducted from the respective instrument in equity.

15.Restructuring, impairment and other related costs
On June 11, 2025, the Board of Directors approved a strategic reprioritization and restructuring plan (the “2025 Restructuring”) to focus resources on ZYNLONTA® (loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl) expansion opportunities and the advancement of its PSMA-targeting ADC. The Company will discontinue early development efforts for the remaining preclinical programs in solid tumors. In connection with the Restructuring, the Company plans to shut down its UK research and development facility and reduce its global workforce across functions by approximately 30 %, which is expected to be substantially completed by September 30, 2025.
In connection with the 2025 Restructuring, the Company reported the following costs in restructuring, impairment and other related costs:
| (in thousands) | Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 | ||||
| Severance and benefit expense | $ | ||||

Severance and benefit expense
Employees affected by the reduction in force under the 2025 Restructuring are entitled to receive severance payments, continuing healthcare benefits and other employee-related costs. Costs associated with one-time termination benefits were recorded pursuant to ASC 420, while costs associated with ongoing benefit arrangements were recorded pursuant to ASC 712. As a result, the Company recorded $6.7 0.1 million was paid as of June 30, 2025. The remaining $6.6 million not paid as of June 30, 2025 was accrued in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and the Company expects to pay the remainder of the restructuring costs by the first quarter of 2026.
Impairment of long-lived assets and prepaid expenses
As a result of the 2025 Restructuring, the Company recognized impairment losses of $6.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025, which included $5.4 million recorded to the long-lived asset group associated with the UK facility and $1.0 million recorded to prepaid expenses in the UK.
The long-lived asset group associated with the UK facility lease, included the right-of-use asset, leasehold improvements, lab equipment and furniture and fixtures. The $5.4 million recognized as impairment losses on the long-lived asset group were allocated to the various assets within the long-lived asset group based on their relative carrying values and consisted of $0.4 million recorded to right-of-use asset, $2.7 million recorded to leasehold improvements, $2.1 million recorded to lab equipment and $0.2 million recorded to furniture and fixtures.

The 2019 Equity Incentive Plan was adopted in November 2019 while the Conditional Share Capital Plan and the Inducement Plan were adopted in December 2023.
2019 Equity Incentive Plan
In November 2019, the Company adopted the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan.

Conditional Share Capital Plan
In December 2023, the Company adopted the Conditional Share Capital Plan. Under the Conditional Share Capital Plan, the Company may at its discretion grant to plan participants, such as directors, certain employees and service providers, awards in the form of restricted shares and RSUs, share options, share appreciation rights, performance awards and other share-based awards. The Company has reserved 8,000,000 common shares for future issuance under this plan. On February 13, 2025 the Company issued its 2025 annual equity award under the Conditional Share Capital Plan, which was approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and by the Board of Directors for the senior management team, consisted of 5,015,765 RSUs. No share options were issued in connection with this award. As of June 30, 2025, the Company has 1,582,328 common shares available for the future issuance of share-based equity awards.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the cumulative amount recorded as a net increase to additional paid-in capital within equity on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet in respect of the Conditional Share Capital Plan was $4,194 and $2,964 . The amounts of expense for all awards recognized for services received during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were $682 and $1,230 , respectively, and $975 and $2,038 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.
Inducement Plan
In December 2023, the Company adopted the Inducement Plan. Under the Inducement Plan, the Company may at its discretion grant to any employee who is eligible to receive an employment inducement grant in accordance with NYSE Listed Company Manual 303A.08. The maximum number of common shares in respect of which awards may be granted under the Inducement Plan is 1,000,000 common shares (including share-based equity awards granted to date, less awards forfeited), subject to adjustment in the event of certain corporate transactions or events if necessary to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits made available under the plan. Equity incentive awards under the Inducement Plan may be granted in the form of options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, performance awards or other share-based awards but not “incentive stock options” for purposes of U.S. tax laws. As of June 30, 2025, the Company has 223,900 common shares available for the future issuance of share-based equity awards under this plan.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the cumulative amount recorded as a net increase to additional paid-in capital within equity on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet in respect of the Inducement Plan was $927 and $554 . The amounts of expense for all awards recognized for services received during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were $110 and $373 , respectively, and $95
Share Options
Pursuant to the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, the Conditional Share Capital Plan and Inducement Plan (the “Share-based Compensation Plans”), the Company may grant share options to its directors, certain employees and service providers working for the benefit of the Company at the time. The exercise price per share option is set by the Company at the fair market value of the underlying common shares on the date of grant, as determined by the Company, which is generally the closing share price of the Company’s common shares traded on the NYSE. The awards generally vest 25 % on the first anniversary of the date of grant, and thereafter evenly on a monthly basis over the subsequent three years . The contractual term of each share option award granted is ten years . Under the grant, the options may be settled only in common shares of the Company. Therefore, the grants of share options under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan and Inducement Plan have been accounted for as equity-settled under US GAAP. As such, the Company records a charge for the vested portion of award grants and for partially earned but non-vested portions of award grants. This results in a front-loaded charge to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital within equity on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The expense (reversal) recognized for services received during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were $454 and $1,583 , respectively, and $689 and $(745 ) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively

As of June 30, 2025, 6,814,416 awards are vested and exercisable out of the total outstanding awards of 10,645,102 common shares. As of June 30, 2025, the weighted average strike price and weighted average remaining life for vested and exercisable awards is $11.40 and 6.25 years, respectively. Awards outstanding as of June 30, 2025 have expiration dates through 2035. The weighted average grant date fair value of the awards granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $2.20 . The aggregate intrinsic value of vested and exercisable options was zero. As of June 30, 2025, the unrecognized compensation cost related to 3,830,686 unvested share options expected to vest was $5.2 million. This unrecognized cost will be recognized over an estimated weighted-average amortization period of 1.55 years.
The fair values of the options granted under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan and the Inducement Plan were determined on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
The fair values of the options granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were determined on the date of grant using the following assumptions:
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Share price, in $ | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Strike price, in $ | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Expected volatility, in % | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Award life, in years | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Expected dividends | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Risk-free interest rate, in % | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Expected volatility is historical volatility of our common stock. The award life for options granted was based on the time interval between the date of grant and the date during the ten-year life after which, when making the grant, the Company expected on average that participants would exercise their options.
RSUs
Pursuant to the Share-based Compensation Plans, the Company may grant RSUs to its directors, certain employees and service providers working for the benefit of the Company at the time. The awards generally vest annually over a period of to three years commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant. The RSUs may be settled only in common shares of the Company. Therefore, the grant of RSUs under both the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan and Conditional Share Capital Plan have been accounted for as equity-settled under US GAAP. As such, the Company records a charge for the vested portion of award grants and for partially earned but non-vested portions of award grants. This results in a front-loaded charge to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital within equity on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The expense recognized for services received during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 is $1,608 and $2,900 , respectively, and $1,229 and $2,745 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. An amount of $250

The total fair value of RSU awards vested (as measured on the date of vesting) during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $1,364 .
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In June 2022, the Company adopted the 2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), which allows eligible employees to purchase designated shares of the Company's common shares at a discount, over a series of offering periods through accumulated payroll deductions. The Company offers the ESPP to employees twice a year with each having a six-month offering period. The first offering period is generally from January 1st through June 30th and the second offering period is from July 1st through December 31st. The grant date is the first day of each offering period.
The ESPP is not available for enrollment during the first offering period from January 1, 2025 through June 30, 2025.
18.Loss per share
The basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period, excluding common shares owned by the Company and held as treasury shares, as follows:
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, basic and diluted loss per share are calculated on the weighted average number of shares issued and outstanding and also include the Pre-funded warrants issued in connection with the 2024 Equity Offering and the 2025 Private Placement. The calculation excludes shares to be issued under the Share-based Compensation Plans, the Company’s Deerfield warrants and shares to be issued under the 2022 ESPP as the effect of including those shares would be anti-dilutive. See Note 8, “Senior secured term loan facility,” Note 9, “Deerfield warrants”, and Note 17, “Share-based compensation,” for further information.

19.Segment reporting
The Company is managed and operated as one reportable segment, which includes all global activities related to the development and commercialization of targeted ADC cancer therapies. The determination of a single reportable segment is consistent with the consolidated financial information regularly provided to the Company’s CODM, which is its chief executive officer. The CODM uses loss from operations and consolidated net loss for purposes of assessing performance, making operating decisions, allocating resources and planning and forecasting for future periods. The CODM allocates resources and plans for the long-term growth of the Company based on the Company's available cash resources, forecasted cash flow, and expenditures on a consolidated basis, as well as an assessment of the probability of success of its research and development activities. Resource allocation and long-term growth decisions are informed by budgeted and forecasted expense information, along with actual expenses incurred to date. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total assets.
The following table is the summary of the segment profit or loss information, including the significant expense categories for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in this Quarterly Report, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following discussion includes forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. See “Forward-Looking Statements.”
Business Overview
ADC Therapeutics is a commercial-stage global leader and pioneer in the field of antibody drug conjugates (“ADCs”), transforming treatment for patients through our focused portfolio with ZYNLONTA ® (loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl) and an early stag prostate-specific membrane antigen targeting ADC (“PSMA-targeting ADC”). Headquartered in Lausanne (Biopôle), Switzerland, with operations in London and New Jersey, ADC Therapeutics is focused on driving innovation in ADC development with specialized capabilities from clinical to manufacturing and commercialization.
Our flagship product, ZYNLONTA, a CD19-directed ADC, received accelerated approval from the U.S. FDA, conditional approval from the European Commission, conditional approval from the China National Medical Products Administration (“NMPA”) and conditional approval by Health Canada for the treatment of relapsed or refractory DLBCL after two or more lines of systemic therapy. We are seeking to continue expanding ZYNLONTA internationally, and into earlier lines of DLBCL and indolent lymphomas, including marginal zone lymphoma (“MZL”) and follicular lymphoma (”FL”), as a single agent and in combination through our LOTIS-5 confirmatory Phase 3 clinical trial and LOTIS-7 Phase 1b clinical trial as well as through investigator-initiated trials (“IITs”) at leading institutions. In the second quarter of 2025, the company discontinued the Phase 1/2 ADCT 602 clinical trial, sponsored by The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
Beyond ZYNLONTA, ADC Therapeutics is leveraging its expertise to advance IND-enabling activities for a next-generation PSMA-targeting ADC which utilizes a differentiated exatecan-based payload with a novel hydrophilic linker.
On June 11, 2025, the Board of Directors approved a strategic reprioritization and restructuring plan (the “2025 Restructuring”) to focus resources on ZYNLONTA expansion opportunities and the advancement of its preclinical exatecan-based PSMA-targeting ADC. The Company will discontinue early development efforts for the remaining preclinical programs in solid tumors. In connection with the Restructuring, the Company plans to shut down its UK research and development facility and reduce its global workforce across functions by approximately 30%, which is expected to be substantially completed by September 30, 2025.
On June 11, 2025, the Company also entered into securities purchase agreements for the sale of its equity securities to certain institutional investors. In the private placement, the Company sold 13,031,161 common shares at $3.53 per share, which was the last reported sale price of the common shares on the New York Stock Exchange on June 11, 2025, and pre-funded warrants to purchase 15,734,267 common shares at $3.43 per pre-funded warrant, which is the price per common share in the private placement minus the exercise price of CHF 0.08 per pre-funded warrant (collectively, the “2025 Private Placement”). The private placement closed on June 16, 2025. Gross proceeds from the 2025 Private Placement were $100.0 million, and, after giving effect to $6.9 million of transaction costs related to the private placement, net proceeds were $93.1 million.

Revenue
Product Revenues, net
We generate product revenue through the sale of ZYNLONTA in the United States. Revenue is recognized when control is transferred to the customer at the net selling price, which includes reductions for gross-to-net (“GTN”) sales adjustments such as government rebates, chargebacks, distributor service fees, other rebates and administrative fees, sales returns and allowances and sales discounts. In the long term, we expect that our product revenue will increase as we execute our business strategy, although our product revenue may fluctuate from period to period based on a number of factors, including patient demand, as well as the timing, dose and duration of patient therapy and customers’ ordering patterns and GTN deductions. We expect a relatively consistent level of GTN sales adjustments as a percentage of gross sales, but may also experience variability in GTN sales adjustments due to additional information and actual experience such as actual rebate and return rates.
Product revenues, net, were $18.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $17.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $1.1 million, or 6.2%. The increase is primarily attributable to a higher price and higher sales volume, partially offset by an increase in GTN sales adjustments.
License Revenues and Royalties
We generate license revenue and royalties from our strategic agreements for the development and commercialization of ZYNLONTA and other product candidates outside of the United States. Under these agreements, we receive upfront
24
Table of Contents | ||
payments and are eligible for certain milestone payments and royalties. We are unable to predict the timing and amounts of license revenue and royalties as meeting milestones is subject to many factors outside of our control and we have limited control over our partners’ commercialization efforts.
License revenues and royalties were $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $0.4 million. The increase was attributable to increased royalty revenue from our exclusive license agreement with SOBI to develop and commercialize ZYNLONTA in all territories other than the United States, greater China, Singapore and Japan.
Operating Expenses
Cost of Product Sales
Cost of product sales primarily includes direct and indirect costs relating to the third-party manufacture and distribution of ZYNLONTA, royalties payable to a collaboration partner based on net product sales of ZYNLONTA and inventory write-downs. We expect that cost of product sales will increase over time as we sell through pre-approval inventory that was previously expensed prior to commercialization under U.S. GAAP. Factors such as inflation, tariffs and other external factors may also increase our cost of product sales as a percentage of product revenue if we are not able to increase the price at which we sell ZYNLONTA to offset such increases in our cost of product sales.
Cost of product sales were $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to cost of product sales of $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 31.3%. The decrease in cost of product sales was attributable to lower shipping and storage charges for the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Research and Development Expenses
The following table summarizes our research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:
| Three Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||||||||
| (in thousands) | 2025 | 2024 | Change | |||||||||||
| External costs and overhead | $ | 17,793 | $ | 12,858 | $ | 4,935 | ||||||||
Employee expenses(1) | 11,812 | 11,029 | 783 | |||||||||||

| Research and development expenses | $ | 30,090 | $ | 24,295 | $ | 5,795 | ||||||||
(1) Excludes share-based compensation expense.
Research and development expense consists primarily of employee related expenses, including share-based compensation expense; costs for production of preclinical and clinical-stage product candidates by CMOs; fees and other costs paid to contract research organizations in connection with the performance of preclinical studies and clinical trials; costs of related facilities, materials and equipment; external costs associated with obtaining intellectual property; depreciation; and upfront fees and achieved milestone payments associated with R&D collaboration arrangements.
Our research and development expense may fluctuate from period to period based on a number of factors, including the timing, progress and stage of clinical trials, costs associated with regulatory approval processes and manufacturing costs associated with commercialization activities prior to the receipt of regulatory approval.
Our R&D expenses were $30.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $24.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $5.8 million, or 23.9%. The increase in R&D expenses was primarily; driven by timing and enrollment of ZYNLONTA clinical trials and related costs in connection with the LOTIS-5 and LOTIS-7 trials. The increase was also partially attributable to costs associated with IND-enabling activities for the PSMA-targeting ADC program. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in spending on discontinued programs including ADCT-601 that was discontinued in November 2024 for which we continue to incur close-out costs, and our preclinical product candidates and research pipeline as a result of the strategic re-prioritization announced in the second quarter of 2025. We expect to continue to incur research and development costs in connection with the ongoing ZYNLONTA clinical trials, and that costs associated with IND-enabling activities for the PSMA-targeting ADC asset will wind down by the end of 2025.

| Selling and marketing expenses | $ | 10,147 | $ | 10,701 | $ | (554) | |||||||||||
(1) Excludes share-based compensation expense.
Selling and marketing costs (“S&M”) are expensed as incurred and are primarily attributable to commercialization of ZYNLONTA in the United States. S&M includes employee costs and share-based compensation expense for commercial employees and external costs related to commercialization (including professional fees, communication costs and IT costs, travel expenses and depreciation of property and equipment).
Selling and marketing expenses were $10.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $10.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $0.6 million or 5.2%. The decrease in external costs and overhead was primarily attributable to a $0.8 million reduction of marketing and advertising expenses as a result of cost cutting initiatives. The increase in employee expenses was primarily due to higher wages and benefits of $0.1 million. The increase in share-based compensation expense of $0.2 million was primarily due to the timing of forfeitures of awards in connection with employee terminations.
General and Administrative Expenses
The following table summarizes our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:
| Three Months Ended June 30, | |||||||||||||||||

| General and administrative expenses | $ | 8,822 | $ | 10,238 | $ | (1,416) | |||||||||||
(1) Excludes share-based compensation expense.
General and administrative expense includes employee related costs (including wages, benefits and share-based compensation expense) for general and administrative employees, external costs (including, in particular, professional fees, legal fees and costs associated with maintaining patents and other intellectual property, communications costs and IT costs, facility expenses and travel expenses) and depreciation of property and equipment and right-of-use assets.
General and administrative expenses were $8.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $10.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an overall decrease of $1.4 million, or 13.8%. The decrease in external costs and overhead of $0.8 million was primarily related to lower professional fees of $0.3 million primarily as a result of lower legal and accounting expenses, lower insurance costs of $0.3 million and lower travel and IT costs of $0.2 million. The decrease in employee expenses was primarily due to lower wages and benefits of $0.2 million and lower recruitment costs of $0.2 million. The decrease in share-based compensation expense was primarily due to the timing of forfeitures of awards in connection with employee terminations.
Restructuring, Impairment and Other Related Costs
In connection with the 2025 Restructuring we incurred restructuring, impairment and other related costs, which included severance and related benefit costs and charges related to impairment of long-lived assets and prepaid expenses.
Restructuring, impairment, and other related costs were $13.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and consisted of $6.7 million in severance and related benefit costs, the majority of which are expected to be paid by the end of
26
Table of Contents | ||
2025, and $6.4 million in non-cash impairment of long-lived assets and prepaid expenses. We did not incur restructuring, impairment and other related costs during the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest Income
Interest income includes interest received from banks on our cash balances. Our policy is to invest funds in a variety of capital preservation instruments, which may include all or a combination of cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term interest-bearing instruments, investment-grade securities, and direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government.
Interest income was $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 40.5%. The decrease was primarily due to lower yields received on our cash deposits and lower average cash balances.
Interest Expense
Interest expense is primarily related to the accretion of our deferred royalty obligation with HCR and the senior secured term loan facility. Interest expense was $13.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $12.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $0.3 million, or 2.5%. The increase was primarily related to higher accretion of our deferred royalty obligation with HCR of $0.4 million as a result of higher total revenue, net, partially offset by lower interest on our senior secured term loan facility of $0.1 million as a result of a lower effective interest rate.
Income Tax Expense
We are subject to corporate taxation in Switzerland. We are also subject to taxation in other jurisdictions in which we operate, in particular, the United States and the United Kingdom, where our two wholly-owned subsidiaries are incorporated. We recorded an income tax expense of $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily driven by a tax adjustment recorded in our UK operations as a result of the 2025 restructuring.
On July 4, 2025, the United States Congress passed budget reconciliation bill H.R. 1 referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill (“OBBB”). The OBBB contains several changes to corporate taxation including modifications to capitalization of research and development expenses, limitations on deductions for interest expense and accelerated fixed asset depreciation. The Company is still in the process of evaluating OBBB and an estimate of the financial impact cannot be made at this time. Additional disclosures will be provided in future periods as the impact of the legislation is determined.

License revenues and royalties
We generate license revenue and royalties from our strategic agreements for the development and commercialization of ZYNLONTA and other product candidates outside of the United States. Under these agreements, we receive upfront payments and are eligible for certain milestone payments and royalties. We are unable to predict the timing and amounts of license revenue and royalties as meeting milestones is subject to many factors outside of our control and we have limited control over our partners’ commercialization efforts.
Royalties were $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $5.8 million. We have an exclusive license agreement with SOBI to develop and commercialize ZYNLONTA in all territories other than the United States, greater China, Singapore and Japan. In March 2025, the Company recognized $5.0 million in license revenue in connection with a milestone due upon ZYNLONTA’s conditional approval by Health Canada for the treatment of relapsed or refractory DLBCL after two or more lines of systemic therapy, which was paid to us by SOBI in the second quarter of 2025. The increase was also attributable to increased royalty revenue from SOBI.
Operating Expenses
Cost of Product Sales
Cost of product sales primarily includes direct and indirect costs relating to the third-party manufacture and distribution of ZYNLONTA, royalties payable to a collaboration partner based on net product sales of ZYNLONTA and inventory write-downs. We expect that cost of product sales will increase over time as we sell through pre-approval inventory that was previously expensed prior to commercialization under U.S. GAAP. Factors such as inflation, tariffs and other external factors may also increase our cost of product sales as a percentage of product revenue if we are not able to increase the price at which we sell ZYNLONTA to offset such increases in our cost of product sales.
Cost of product sales were $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to cost of product sales of $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 22.3%. The decrease in cost of product sales was primarily driven by a $1.1 million batch cancellation fee recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and $0.3 million attributable to lower shipping and storage charges for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This decrease was partially offset by higher inventory write-downs of $0.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Our research and development expense may fluctuate from period to period based on a number of factors, including the timing, progress and stage of clinical trials, costs associated with regulatory approval processes and manufacturing costs associated with commercialization activities prior to the receipt of regulatory approval.
Our R&D expenses were $59.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $50.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $9.0 million, or 18.0%. The increase in R&D expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily driven by timing of CMC costs incurred in connection with IND-enabling activities for the PSMA-targeting ADC program and the timing and enrollment of our
29
Table of Contents | ||
ZYNLONTA clinical trials and related costs incurred in connection with the LOTIS 5 and LOTIS 7 trials. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in spending on discontinued programs, including ADCT-601 that was discontinued in November 2024 for which we continue to incur close-out costs, and our preclinical product candidates and research pipeline as a result of the strategic re-prioritization announced in the second quarter of 2025. We expect to continue to incur research and development costs in connection with the ongoing ZYNLONTA clinical trials, and that costs associated with IND-enabling activities for the PSMA-targeting ADC asset will wind down by the end of 2025.
Share-based compensation expense was $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to a reversal of $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $1.6 million. The increase was primarily driven by the forfeitures of awards in connection with employee terminations in the prior year.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
The following table summarizes our selling and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

(1) Excludes share-based compensation expense (reversal).
Selling and marketing costs (“S&M”) are expensed as incurred and are primarily attributable to commercialization of ZYNLONTA in the United States. S&M includes employee costs and share-based compensation expense for commercial employees and external costs related to commercialization (including professional fees, communication costs and IT costs, travel expenses and depreciation of property and equipment).
Selling and marketing expenses were $20.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $22.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $1.4 million or 6.3%. The decrease in external costs and overhead was primarily attributable to $1.8 million in lower spend on marketing and advertising expenses and $0.2 million in lower travel and IT expenses as a result of reduced spending initiatives within the U.S. The decrease in employee expenses was primarily due to lower wages and benefits of $0.4 million. The increase in share-based compensation expense of $1.1 million was primarily due to the timing of forfeitures of awards in connection with employee terminations.
General and Administrative Expenses

(1) Excludes share-based compensation expense.
General and administrative expense includes employee related costs (including wages, benefits and share-based compensation expense) for general and administrative employees, external costs (including, in particular, professional fees, legal fees and costs associated with maintaining patents and other intellectual property, communications costs and IT costs, facility expenses and travel expenses) and depreciation of property and equipment and right-of-use assets.
General and administrative expenses were $18.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $22.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $3.5 million, or 15.7%. The decrease in external costs and overhead was primarily related to lower professional fees of $1.7 million primarily as a result of lower legal and accounting expenses, VAT recoveries of $0.5 million, lower insurance costs of $0.4 million and lower travel and IT costs of $0.4 million. The decrease in employee expenses was primarily due to lower recruitment costs of $0.4 million, partially offset

by higher wages and benefits of $0.2 million. The decrease in share-based compensation expense was primarily due to the timing of forfeitures of awards in connection with employee terminations.
Restructuring, Impairment and Other Related Costs
In connection with the 2025 Restructuring we incurred restructuring, impairment and other related costs, which included severance and related benefit costs and charges related to impairment of long-lived assets and prepaid expenses.
Restructuring, impairment, and other related costs were $13.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and consisted of $6.7 million in severance and related benefit costs, the majority of which are expected to be paid by the end of 2025, and $6.4 million in impairment of long-lived assets and prepaid expenses. We did not incur restructuring, impairment and other related costs during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest Income
Interest income includes interest received from banks on our cash balances. Our policy is to invest funds in a variety of capital preservation instruments, which may include all or a combination of cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term interest-bearing instruments, investment-grade securities, and direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government.
Interest income was $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $6.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $2.2 million or 35.7%. The decrease was primarily due to lower yields received on our cash deposits and lower average cash balances.
Interest Expense
Interest expense is primarily related to the accretion of our deferred royalty obligation with HCR and the senior secured term loan facility. Interest expense was relatively flat at $25.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2025. This was due to higher accretion of our deferred royalty obligation with HCR of $0.8 million as a result of higher total revenue, net, partially offset by lower interest on our senior secured term loan facility of $0.7 million as a result of a lower effective interest rate.
Income Tax Expense
We are subject to corporate taxation in Switzerland. We are also subject to taxation in other jurisdictions in which we operate, in particular, the United States and the United Kingdom, where our two wholly-owned subsidiaries are incorporated. We recorded an income tax expense of $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily driven by a tax adjustment recorded in our UK operations as a result of the 2025 restructuring.
On July 4, 2025, the United States Congress passed budget reconciliation bill H.R. 1 referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill (“OBBB”). The OBBB contains several changes to corporate taxation including modifications to capitalization of research and development expenses, limitations on deductions for interest expense and accelerated fixed asset depreciation. The Company is still in the process of evaluating OBBB and an estimate of the financial impact cannot be made at this time. Additional disclosures will be provided in future periods as the impact of the legislation is determined.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $264.6 million and believe that our current cash position and capital resources are sufficient to fund our operation and meet capital requirements for at least the next twelve months from the date of this report.
We plan to continue to fund our operating needs through our existing cash and cash equivalents, revenues from sales of ZYNLONTA, milestone and royalty payments under our licensing agreements and additional equity financings, debt financings and/or other forms of financing, as well as potential funds provided by collaborations. We are continuously exploring strategic collaborations, business combinations, licensing opportunities or similar strategies for clinical development and commercialization of ZYNLONTA and/or our PSMA-targeting ADC. However, we may be unable to obtain such financing, licensing and collaboration arrangements on favorable terms, if at all.
Sources of Liquidity and Capital Resources
To date, we have financed our operations primarily through equity financings, convertible debt and senior secured term loan financings, and additional funds provided by collaborations and royalty financings and sales of ZYNLONTA in the United States. For a description of the Loan Agreement, HCR Agreement and other license and collaboration agreements, see “Item 1. Business - Material Contracts” in our Annual Report.
On June 16, 2025, the Company completed a $100.0 million private placement which resulted in net proceeds of $93.1 million and included the sale of common shares and pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”). The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable, on a cash or cashless basis, at the option of the holder after the date of issuance until the tenth anniversary of their original issuance. At any time during the last 90 days of the term, the holder may exchange the Pre-Funded Warrant for, and we will issue, a new pre-funded warrant for the number of common shares then remaining under the Pre-Funded Warrant. The Pre-Funded Warrants have certain limitations on exercise, including (i) any exercise must be for at least 50,000 common shares (or, if less, the remaining common shares available for purchase under the Pre-Funded Warrants), (ii) a holder cannot exercise for any amount that would cause such holder’s beneficial ownership of our common shares to exceed 9.99% (or 19.99% with 61-days’ notice to us), and (iii) cashless exercise is not available in certain circumstances as specified in the Pre-Funded Warrants. The warrants contain customary anti-dilution adjustments and will entitle holders to receive any dividends or other distributions paid on the underlying common shares prior to their expiration on an as-exercised basis.
Uses of Capital Resources
Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, research and development expenses, selling and marketing expenses, compensation and related expenses, interest and principal payments on debt obligations and other operating expenses. We expect to incur substantial expenses as we continue to devote substantial resources to research and development and marketing and commercialization efforts, in particular to grow ZYNLONTA in the 3L+ DLBCL setting, continue to study and advance ZYNLONTA in earlier lines of therapy and in combinations to potentially expand our market opportunity and further develop our PSMA-targeting ADC. Cash used to fund operating expenses is impacted by the timing of when we pay expenses, as reflected in the change in our outstanding accounts payable and accrued expenses, as well as the timing of collecting receivables from the sale of ZYNLONTA and paying royalties related to our deferred royalty obligation.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $80.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $76.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $3.5 million. The increase was primarily due to the payment of the 2023 discarded drug rebate of $7.2 million paid in the first quarter of 2025, a $4.0 million period over period increase in annual bonus and retention payments, partially offset by a $3.0 million period over period increase in partner collections and the timing of other operating cash payments and receipts.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $0.3 million. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities relates to timing of purchases of property and equipment.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $94.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and primarily related to the net proceeds received from the completion of the Company’s 2025 Private Placement in June 2025. Net cash provided by financing activities was $99.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and primarily related to the net proceeds received from the completion of the Company’s 2024 Equity Offering in May 2024.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During the periods presented, we did not have, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
As a result of the 2025 Restructuring, and in accordance with the UK facility lease agreement, the Company notified the landlord of its intention to terminate the lease. In accordance with the lease terms, the landlord may require the Company to return the leased space to its original condition upon termination of the lease agreement, including the removal of the Company’s leasehold improvements. There remains uncertainty in relation to the specific works to be removed, if any, and amounts are not reasonably estimable as of June 30, 2025. Therefore, no liability has been recorded as of June 30, 2025. The Company will monitor negotiations with the landlord and record a liability when amounts become reasonably estimable. There have been no further changes from the contractual obligations and commitments previously disclosed in our Annual Report.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. There have been no material changes to the significant accounting estimates previously disclosed in our Annual Report.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business activities. The results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we do not believe that we are party to any claim or litigation, the outcome of which would, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on our business.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Below we are providing, in supplemental form, additions to our risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Changes in tariffs could increase our cost of sales and our operating expenses.
The U.S. government has recently announced, and is expected to continue to announce, significant changes to its trade policy, including the imposition of tariffs. Negotiations between the United States and other countries are ongoing, and the outcome of those negotiations and the scope of any tariff exemptions remain uncertain. We operate internationally and our products are manufactured outside of the United States, primarily in Europe. As a result, we may experience higher costs of sales and increased operating expenses in the future due to tariffs that may be imposed on U.S imports of our product for commercial sale in the U.S. These tariffs could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Changes in drug pricing policies of the current U.S. administration may negatively impact our product sales revenue.
The current administration has indicated that it plans to pursue additional policies aimed at lowering prescription drug costs. For example, in May 2025, the administration published an executive order regarding most favored nation (“MFN”) drug pricing, which is sometimes referred to as international reference pricing. This executive order directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to communicate MFN price targets to pharmaceutical manufacturers, and if significant progress towards MFN pricing is not delivered, to propose a rule making plan to impose MFN pricing. The scope, timing, and potential impact of current and future policy initiatives remain uncertain, and accordingly, we cannot predict how such legal and regulatory changes may affect our business, operations, or financial condition. However, if MFN drug pricing is implemented, the U.S. list price of ZYNLONTA that is also being commercialized outside of the United States could be substantially reduced, which could negatively impact our U.S. product sale revenues and the overall U.S. market opportunity.
