ADC Therapeutics SA 
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (Unaudited) – in KUSD except for share and per share data
1.Corporate information 
ADC Therapeutics SA (the “Company” or “ADCT”) was incorporated on June 6, 2011 under the laws of Switzerland. The registered office of the Company is located at Route de la Corniche 3B, 1066 Epalinges, Switzerland. The Company controls three wholly-owned subsidiaries: ADC Therapeutics America, Inc. (“ADCT America”), which was incorporated in Delaware, USA on December 10, 2014, ADC Therapeutics (UK) Ltd (“ADCT UK”), which was incorporated in England on December 12, 2014 and ADC Therapeutics (NL) B.V. which was incorporated in the Netherlands on February 25, 2022. The Company and its three subsidiaries form the ADCT Group (the “Group”).
The Group is focused on the development and commercialization of antibody drug conjugates (“ADCs”), including research, development, human clinical trials, regulatory approval and commercialization. On April 23, 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved ZYNLONTA for the treatment of relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (“DLBCL”) and the Company commenced recognizing revenue upon the sale of ZYNLONTA during the second quarter of 2021. ADCs are drug constructs which combine monoclonal antibodies specific to particular types of cells with cytotoxic molecules or warheads which seek to kill cancer cells to which the ADC attaches. ADCs have extensive potential therapeutic applications in cancer.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue on August 8, 2023.

Going concern basis
ADCT is a commercial-stage company developing innovative therapeutics. The Group is exposed to all risks inherent in establishing and developing its business, including the substantial uncertainty that current projects will succeed. The Group’s success may also depend on its ability to:
establish and maintain a strong patent position and protection;
develop, gain regulatory approval and commercialize drug products;
enter into collaborations with partners in the pharmaceutical industry;
acquire and retain key personnel; and
acquire additional funding to support its operations.
Since its incorporation, the Group has primarily funded its growth through capital increases and additional funds provided by research collaborations, license agreements, the issuance of the Company’s common shares, the issuance of convertible loans, the issuance of term loans and proceeds from a royalty purchase agreement. The Group does not have recourse to bank loans. As a result, the Group is not exposed to liquidity risk through requests for early repayment of loans, other than, pursuant to the senior secured term loan facility, it must maintain a balance of at least USD 60.0 million in cash and cash equivalents plus any accounts payable that are greater than ninety days old at the end of each quarter.
As of June 30, 2023, the Group’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to USD 347.5 million (December 31, 2022: USD 326.4 million).
Management believes that the Group has sufficient resources to meet its financial obligations for at least the next 12 months from the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and, as a result, is presenting these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group on a going concern basis.

2.Basis of preparation
Statement of Compliance
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Functional and reporting currency
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in United States Dollars (“USD” or “$”), which is the Company’s functional currency and the Group’s reporting currency.
A subsidiary of the Company, ADCT UK, has a functional currency of the British Pound (“GBP”). The following exchange rates have been used for the translation of the financial statements of ADCT UK:
Six Months Ended June 30,
20232022
USD / GBP
Closing rate, GBP 11.26627 1.21470 
Weighted average exchange rate, GBP 11.24535 1.20080 
Basis of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company which are the same as those contained in the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IAS 34 requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
In preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty included those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. There have been no material changes to the use of estimates and judgements other than those described in note 3, "Significant accounting policies."

3.Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies applied by the Company in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 and have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, except for the following:
Revenue Recognition
Product Revenue

The Company generates revenue from sales of ZYNLONTA in the U.S. for the treatment of relapsed or refractory DLBCL, which was approved by the FDA on April 23, 2021 and launched shortly thereafter. 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.

On November 15, 2021, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act was enacted, which added a requirement for manufacturers of certain single-source drugs (including biologics and biosimilars) separately paid for under Medicare Part B for at least 18 months and marketed in single-dose containers or packages (known as refundable single-dose container or single-use package drugs) to provide annual refunds if those portions of the dispensed drug that are unused and discarded exceed an applicable percentage defined by statute or regulation. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (the “CMS”) finalized regulations to implement this section on November 18, 2022, and the provision went into effect on January 1, 2023.

The Company has accounted for this annual refund (“discarded drug rebate”) as a GTN sales adjustment beginning in the first quarter of 2023. The discarded drug rebate will involve significant estimates and judgment after considering factors including legal interpretations of applicable laws and regulations, historical experience with discarded volumes and processing time lags.

The Company uses information from external sources to identify the Company’s discarded volumes and estimate the discarded drug rebate. The Company’s estimates are subject to inherent limitations of estimates that rely on third-party information and reflect other limitations including lags between the date as of which third-party information is generated and the date on which the Company receives third-party information. Estimates for the discarded drug rebate are being assessed each period and adjusted as required to revise information or actual experience.
New and amended IFRS standards
There are no new IFRS standards, amendments to standards or interpretations that are mandatory for the financial year beginning on January 1, 2023, that are relevant to the Group. New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that are not yet effective, which have been deemed by the Group as currently not relevant, are not listed here.

4.Financial risk management 
4.1Financial risk factors
The Group’s activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including changes in the Company’s share price, exposure to fluctuation in currency exchange rates and exposure to interest rate movements), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022. In relation to the royalty purchase agreement with entities managed by Healthcare Royalty Management, LLC ("HCR"), the Company is obligated to pay interest in the form of royalties in connection with certain net sales and licensing revenue. As the effective interest rate ("EIR") on the deferred royalty obligation does not depend on market performance, the exposure to interest rate and market risk is deemed low. See note 17, “Deferred royalty obligation” for further information. In regards to the senior secured term loans, the interest rate is variable and dependent upon market factors. The Company will update the EIR at the end of each reporting period for changes in the rate. See note 13, "Senior secured term loan facility and warrants" for further information. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase (decrease) in the interest rate as of June 30, 2023 would have increased (decreased) the effective interest expense associated with the Company's senior secured term loan facility by KUSD 910 and (KUSD 910). There have been no other material changes in financial risk management since December 31, 2022.
4.2Fair value estimation
As of June 30, 2023, the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value for the following financial assets and liabilities:
Cash and cash equivalents
Trade accounts receivable; and
Trade accounts payable
In the six months ended June 30, 2023, there were no significant changes in the business or economic circumstances that affected the fair value of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities.
Fair values must be estimated at the end of each reporting period with regard to the senior secured term loan warrant obligation and the Deerfield warrants. The approach to valuation follows the grant date fair value principle, and the key input factors are described for the senior secured term loan facility warrant obligation in note 13, "Senior secured term loan facility and warrants" and for the Deerfield warrants in note 15, "Deerfield warrants." Commonly accepted pricing models (Black-Scholes) have been used to calculate the fair values. The valuation of the senior secured term loan facility warrant obligation and Deerfield warrants are classified as pertaining to Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. The convertible loan derivatives previously were classified as pertaining to Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy and were extinguished on August 15, 2022. See note 14, "Convertible loans" for further information. The Company no longer has any inputs pertaining to level 3 of the valuation hierarchy set out below.
The different levels of the valuation hierarchy have been defined as follows:
(a)Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
(b)Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (for example, as prices) or indirectly (for example, derived from prices);
(c)Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
There were no transfers between the respective levels during the period.

7.Operating expense
The following table provides the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of operations classification of the Company's total operating expense:

Total operating expense59,072 86,702 129,636 173,564 
(1) Includes depreciation expense
(2) Includes share-based compensation expense

The decrease in Cost of product sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, was primarily driven by higher impairment charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 related to the manufacturing of batches that did not meet the Company's specifications.

R&D external costs decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 as a result of the completion of the phase 2 study in 2022 for Camidanlumab Tesirine (Cami) and our decision to pause the program while we evaluated FDA feedback, continue to assess a potential regulatory pathway and seek a partner to continue developing this program. The Company also had higher cost sharing with our partners, lower clinical trial costs for LOTIS 3, LOTIS 6 and LOTIS 7, as well as lower professional fees related to ZYNLONTA, partially offset by higher clinical trial expenses for LOTIS 5 and LOTIS 9 and in ADCT-212 the Company incurred lower manufacturing expenses related to IND-enabling work. The decrease in external costs was partially offset by an increase in clinical trial costs for ADCT-901 and expenses related to the Company's preclinical product candidates and research pipeline. Employee expense decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to lower share-based compensation expense driven by fluctuations in our share price, voluntary terminations and the workforce reduction announced and put into effect during the second quarter of 2023.

The decrease in S&M expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to lower share-based compensation expense due to the fluctuations in the Company's share price, voluntary terminations and the commercial re-alignment announced and put into effect during the second quarter of 2023, as well as lower spend on marketing, analytics and expenses, including those expenses in the European Union relating to the commercial launch of ZYNLONTA.
The decrease in G&A expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was attributable to lower share-based compensation expense due to fluctuations in the Company's share price, transition of a board member, voluntary terminations and the workforce reduction announced and put into effect during the second quarter of 2023, as well as lower external costs related to insurance and IT, partially offset with higher professional fees. The decrease in G&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was also attributable to professional fees associated with the license agreement entered into with MTPC recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2022, partially offset by higher wages and benefits.

Additionally, in connection with the FDA approval of ZYNLONTA, the Company drew down the Deerfield Second Tranche of convertible loans amounting to USD 50.0 million on May 17, 2021. On August 15, 2022, pursuant to the exchange agreement with Deerfield, Deerfield exchanged USD 115.0 million aggregate principal amount of the
15


Company's senior secured convertible notes for warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,412,840 common shares, an aggregate of 2,390,297 common shares and cash equal to USD 117.3 million.
Deerfield warrant obligation, change in fair value income
Pursuant to an exchange agreement with Deerfield entered into on August 15, 2022, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,412,840 common shares. The Deerfield warrant obligation has been recorded at its initial fair value and is remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period. Changes in fair value of the Deerfield warrant obligation are explained in note 15, "Deerfield warrants."
Senior secured term loan facility, warrants, change in fair value (expense) income
The Company has accounted for the First Tranche of the senior secured term loan and warrants as one hybrid financial instrument, with the USD 120.0 million proceeds separated into two components: a warrant obligation and a loan. The warrant obligation has been recorded at its initial fair value and is remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period. Changes in fair value of the warrant obligation are explained in note 13, "Senior secured term loan facility and warrants."
Share of results with joint venture
In connection with the formation of Overland ADCT BioPharma in December 2020, the Company recorded its proportionate share of Overland ADCT BioPharma’s comprehensive loss. See note 11, “Interest in joint venture.”
Exchange differences gain (loss)
Also included in non-operating (expense) income are favorable or unfavorable Exchange differences. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to British pounds, Euros and Swiss francs. Exchange differences represent gain or (loss) based on favorable or unfavorable changes in foreign currencies.
R&D tax credit
The Company recognizes as income (expense) amounts received and receivable by its subsidiary, ADCT UK, under the United Kingdom’s R&D Expenditure Credit scheme (“UK R&D Credit Scheme”). The grants represent 20% of eligible expenditures for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and represent 13% of eligible expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The grants represent 12% of eligible expenditures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The claims are payable through the tax system, as a refund of corporation tax or of other taxes, including income tax and social security payments deducted at source from qualifying (research) employees’ payroll and VAT. The relevant amounts have been therefore presented net in the balance sheet. As the credit is independent of ADCT UK’s taxable profit, is clearly designed to incentivize companies to invest in R&D activities and is itself taxable income, the Group has recognized the income as government grants within non-operating (expense) income and not as a credit to income tax expense.
9.Inventory
Inventory as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 consisted of the following:

(in KUSD)
As of June 30, 2023
As of December 31, 2022
Work in process19,015 18,165 
Finished goods 413 399 
Total inventory19,428 18,564 

Impairment charges of KUSD 726 and KUSD 872 were recognized and charged to cost of product sales in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company designated certain capitalized pre-approval ZYNLONTA inventory for R&D use and recorded a charge to R&D expenses, which was partially offset by a reversal of previously
16


recorded impairment charges. The net impact of KUSD 436 and KUSD 75 was recorded as an expense to R&D in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of operation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The reversal of previously recorded impairment charges is based on the existence of inventory on hand and estimated demand, as well as expiration dating.

10.Intangible assets
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company did not capitalize any license fees as intangible assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company capitalized the following milestone payments as intangible assets:

An amount of KUSD 500 paid upon the dosing of a specific number of patients in the first in-human clinical study related to an antibody the Company acquired from a third party to be used in research, development, manufacturing and commercialization. The amount was capitalized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset; and

•    An amount of KUSD 195 paid upon the successful completion of in-vivo efficacy studies related to a license with a third party to use their specific binding proteins in the development, manufacturing and commercialization of products. The amount was capitalized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company decided to terminate a program. Consequently, impairment charges of KUSD 743 (corresponding to the entire carrying amount of the capitalized licenses) was recognized and charged to R&D expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of operations. No impairment losses were recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company performs an assessment at the end of each period to determine whether there is any indication that an intangible asset may be impaired. The Company identified one indicator of impairment during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company evaluated further and concluded there were no impairments, other than the terminated program.

13.Senior secured term loan facility and warrants
Oak Tree and Owl Rock Warrant Obligations

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized (expense) income of KUSD (39) and KUSD 617, respectively, as a result of changes in the fair value of the warrant obligations. The fair value of the warrant obligations as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was KUSD 378 and KUSD 995, respectively. The decrease in fair value of the warrant obligation from December 31, 2022 to June 30, 2023 was primarily due to the decrease in the fair value of the underlying shares during that period, which was recorded directly to Non-operating (expense) income in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of operations. See note 8, "Other income (expense)" for further information.

The Company used an independent valuation firm to assist in calculating the fair value of the warrant obligations, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Key inputs for the valuation of the warrant obligations as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows:

Senior Secured Term Loan

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded interest expense on the senior secured term loan in the amount of KUSD 4,480 and KUSD 9,020, respectively, which was recorded in Financial expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of operations. The EIR at June 30, 2023 was 16.79%. The carrying value of the senior secured term loan was USD 111.2 million as of June 30, 2023, of which USD 13.9 million and USD 97.4 million represented the short-term and long-term portion of the liability, respectively.
Pursuant to this Loan Agreement, the Company is subject to a covenant that requires it to maintain a balance at the end of each quarter of at least USD 60.0 million in cash and cash equivalents that are included on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim balance sheet plus an amount equal to any accounts payable that remain unpaid more than ninety days after the date of the original invoice. As of June 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with this covenant.

14.Convertible loans
On April 24, 2020, the Company entered into a USD 115.0 million Facility Agreement with Deerfield, pursuant to which Deerfield extended a tranche of USD 65.0 million of convertible loans on May 19, 2020 upon completion of the Company’s initial public offering (the “Deerfield First Tranche”) and a tranche of USD 50.0 million of convertible loans on May 17, 2021 after the receipt of regulatory approval for ZYNLONTA (the “Deerfield Second Tranche”).

On August 15, 2022, pursuant to an exchange agreement with Deerfield, Deerfield exchanged USD 115.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's senior secured convertible notes for warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,412,840 common shares, an aggregate of 2,390,297 common shares and cash equal to USD 117.3 million.

As a result of the exchange agreement on August 15, 2022, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of USD 42.1 million, which primarily consists of the difference between the aggregate principal amount and carrying value of the convertible loans, exit fee, as well as the unpaid interest payments through the maturity date.

Embedded conversion option derivatives

Prior to the exchange, the Company accounted for the Facility agreement as a loan and embedded conversion option features. The embedded conversion option derivative was marked-to-market while the loan was measured at its amortized cost on a quarterly basis.

The following table summarizes the changes in fair value income of the embedded conversion option derivatives during the three and six months June 30, 2022:
Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30,
(in KUSD)20222022
Deerfield First Tranche 8,860 18,378 
Deerfield Second Tranche - after FDA approval5,595 11,932 
Total14,455 30,310 

The decrease in fair value of the embedded derivatives was primarily due to a decrease in the fair value of the underlying shares during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. These amounts were charged directly to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statements of operations. See note 8, “Other income (expense)” for further information.

The Company used an independent valuation firm to assist in calculating the fair value of the Deerfield First Tranche and Deerfield Second Tranche of the embedded conversion option derivatives, which is based on the mean of values derived from application of the Hull and Goldman Sachs convertible bond pricing models. Key inputs for the valuations as of June 30, 2022 was as follows:

15.Deerfield warrants
Pursuant to the exchange agreement with Deerfield entered into on August 15, 2022, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,412,840 common shares. The warrants consist of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,631,578 common shares at an exercise price of USD 24.70 per share and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,781,262 common shares at an exercise price of USD 28.07 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 May 19, 2025. The warrants contain customary anti-dilution adjustments and entitle holders to receive any dividends or other distributions paid on the underlying common shares prior to their expiration on an as-exercised basis. Each holder also may require the Company to repurchase the warrants for their Black Scholes-based fair value in connection with certain transformative transactions or change of control of the Company that occur prior to their expiration.

The terms of the warrants are reflective of the terms of the embedded conversion option features of the Deerfield Facility Agreement prior to the Exchange Agreement. As a result, the fair value of the warrants was determined to approximate the fair value of the existing embedded conversion option features immediately prior to the consummation of the Exchange Agreement. As such, the warrant obligation was recorded at an initial fair value of KUSD 12,297 on August 15, 2022. Subsequent to issuance, the warrant obligation will be remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized income of KUSD 20 and 636, respectively, as a result of changes in the fair value of the warrant obligation. The fair value of the warrant obligation as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was KUSD 157 and KUSD 793, respectively. The decrease in fair value of the warrant obligation from December 31, 2022 to June 30, 2023 was primarily due to the decrease in the fair value of the underlying shares during that period. These amounts were recorded to Non-operating (expense) income in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of operations. See note 8, "Other income (expense)" for further information.

The Company used an independent valuation firm to assist in calculating the fair value of the Deerfield warrant obligation, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Key inputs for the valuation of the warrant obligation as of June 30, 2023 were as follows:

16.Share-based compensation
Equity Incentive Plan 2019
In November 2019, the Company adopted the Equity Incentive Plan 2019. Under the Equity Incentive Plan 2019, 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 restricted share units (“RSUs”), share options, share appreciation rights, performance awards and other share-based awards. The Company has reserved 17,741,355 common shares for future issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan 2019 (including share-based equity awards granted to date less awards forfeited). As of June 30, 2023, the Company had 2,564,140 common shares available for the future issuance of share-based equity awards. On March 22, 2023, the Company issued its annual equity award, which was approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and consisted of 2,026,341 share options and 538,175 RSUs. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has only granted share options, RSUs and performance awards under the Equity Incentive Plan 2019.
As of June 30, 2023, the cumulative amount recorded as an increase to Other Reserves within equity in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim balance sheet of the Equity Incentive Plan 2019 was KUSD 154,088. The amount of expense for all awards recognized for services received during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 were KUSD 1,010 and KUSD 8,987, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were KUSD 13,818 and KUSD 27,728, respectively. An amount of KUSD 512 was withheld for tax charges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Equity Exchange Program

On March 6, 2023, the Company commenced a tender offer with employees to exchange some or all of their eligible stock options based on a pre-determined exchange ratio for new options as detailed in our Schedule TO filed March 6, 2023 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Exchange Offer”), to, among other things, further align employee incentives with the current market conditions. The Exchange Offer expired on April 3, 2023 and new options were granted on April 4, 2023. Employees holding stock options to purchase 2.2 million common shares, with exercise prices ranging from USD 8.12 per share to USD 48.77 per share, participated in the Exchange Offer, and 0.9 million new options were granted based on the exchange ratios set forth in the Exchange Offer. The new options have an exercise price of USD 2.06 per share, which is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common shares as reported on the NYSE on April 4, 2023. The new options include additional vesting conditions. Any previously held options that were vested at the time of exchange will fully vest on April 4, 2024. With respect to any options held that were unvested at the time of grant, a portion of the new options will vest on the first anniversary date with additional portions vesting monthly thereafter until the new options are fully vested five years after the original grant date.

Under IFRS 2, the incremental compensation expense of a modified award is measured as the excess of the fair value of each award of new options granted to participants in this Exchange Offer, measured as of the date the new options are granted, over the fair value of the eligible options replaced in exchange for the new options, measured immediately prior to the replacement. The Company utilized a binomial valuation model and determined there was no incremental share-based compensation expense associated with the new options granted under this Exchange Offer. The Company will continue to recognize share-based compensation expense equal to the grant date fair value of the exchanged options.
Share Options
Pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan 2019, 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 Equity Incentive Plan 2019 have been accounted for as equity-settled under IFRS 2. 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 interim statement of operations and a corresponding increase to Other Reserves within equity on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim balance sheet.

Awards outstanding as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, expire through 2033 and 2032, respectively. The options granted during 2023 include the Company’s annual equity award discussed above. The grant-date fair value of the options relating to the annual equity awards was USD 1.41 per share. As of June 30, 2023, 3,765,502 awards are vested and exercisable out of the total outstanding awards of 11,293,279 common shares. The weighted average strike price and weighted average remaining life for vested and exercisable awards is USD 23.97 and 6.71 years, respectively.
The fair values of the options granted under the Equity Incentive Plan 2019 were determined on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company used an independent valuation firm to assist in calculating the fair value of the award grants per participant.
The fair values of the options granted under the Equity Incentive Plan 2019 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 were determined on the date of the grant using the following assumptions:

The expected volatility was based on the Company’s historical volatility and selected volatility determined by median values observed among other comparable public companies. The award life is 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.

The fair value of the new options granted under the Equity Exchange program was estimated at the date of grant using a binomial model with the following assumptions: Share price of USD 2.06, expected volatility of 77% - 79%, expected risk-free interest rate of 3.29% - 3.31%, expected dividends of 0% and expected term was derived based on the contractual term of the options, the expected exercise behavior and expected post-vesting forfeiture rates. The Company used an independent valuation firm to assist in calculating the fair value of the new award grants per participant.
RSUs
Pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan 2019, 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 three
26


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 grants of RSUs under the Equity Incentive Plan 2019 have been accounted for as equity-settled under IFRS 2. 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 interim statement of operations and a corresponding increase to Other Reserves within equity on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim balance sheet.
The expense recognized for services received during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was KUSD 1,725 and KUSD 4,921, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were KUSD 5,368 and KUSD 8,763, respectively.

17.Deferred royalty obligation
On August 25, 2021, the Company entered into a royalty purchase agreement with HCR for up to USD 325.0 million of which the Company received gross proceeds of USD 225.0 million during 2021 and received an additional USD 75.0 million in June 2023 upon the first commercial sale of ZYNLONTA in the United Kingdom or any European Union country.
The table below provides a rollforward of the Company’s debt obligation relating to the royalty purchase agreement.

Less: royalty payments6,230 
Plus: interest expense11,575 
Plus: cumulative catch-up adjustment, Financial expense5,288 
June 30, 2023306,012 
The Company recorded a liability relating to the initial gross proceeds received less transaction costs in August 2021 and increased the liability in June 2023 for the eligible amount received upon the first commercial sale of ZYNLONTA in the United Kingdom or any European Union country less transaction costs. To determine the accretion of the liability related to the deferred royalty obligation, the Company is required to estimate the total amount of future royalty payments and estimated timing of such payment to HCR based on the Company's revenue projections. Based on the Company's initial revenue projections, the Company used an independent valuation firm to assist in determining the total amount of future royalty payments and estimated timing of such payment to HCR using an option pricing Monte Carlo simulation model. The amount ultimately received by the Company will be accreted to the total amount of the royalty payments necessary to extinguish the Company’s obligation under the agreement, which will be recorded as interest expense over the life of the royalty purchase agreement. The estimate of this total interest expense resulted in an EIR of 10%. As royalty payments are made to HCR, the balance of the debt obligation will be effectively repaid over the life of the royalty purchase agreement.
Based on the Company's periodic review, the exact amount and timing of repayment is likely to be different each reporting period as compared to those estimated based on the Company's initial revenue projections. A significant increase or decrease in actual net sales of ZYNLONTA compared to the Company’s revenue projections, and regulatory approval and commercialization of Cami, as well as ZYNLONTA in other indications as well as licensing revenue could change the royalty rate and royalty cap due to HCR, which could materially impact the debt obligation as well as interest expense associated with the royalty purchase agreement. Also, the Company’s total obligation to HCR can vary depending on the achievement of the sales milestones as well as the timing of a change in control event. The Company will periodically assess the expected payments to HCR based on its underlying revenue projections and to the extent the amount or timing of such payments is materially different than its initial estimates it will record a cumulative catch-up adjustment.
Based on the Company's 2023 updated development plans, and the transaction costs related to the eligible amount received in June 2023, the Company updated the valuation model, which resulted in a cumulative catch-up adjustment of USD 5.3 million recorded as Financial expense within the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Under the cumulative catch-up method, the EIR is not revised when actual or estimated net sales differ from those estimated as of the inception of the debt obligation. Instead, the carrying amount of the debt obligation is adjusted to an amount equal to the present value of the estimated remaining future payments, discounted by using the original EIR, 10%, as of the date on which the estimate changes.

Overview

We are a fully-integrated commercial-stage biotechnology company helping to improve the lives of those affected by cancer with our next-generation, targeted antibody drug conjugates (“ADCs”). Our flagship product, ZYNLONTA® (loncastuximab tesirine or Lonca) received accelerated approval from the FDA on April 23, 2021, and launched commercially in the U.S. shortly thereafter, for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma after two or more lines of systemic therapy, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (“DLBCL”) not otherwise specified, DLBCL arising from low-grade lymphoma, and also high-grade B-cell lymphoma. Our objective is to establish ZYNLONTA as the third line+ DLBCL standard of care while exploring ZYNLONTA in earlier lines of therapy and in combinations to expand our market opportunity.

We have a strong validated technology platform including our highly potent pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) technology and are advancing this proprietary PBD-based ADC technology to transform the treatment paradigm for patients with hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. Additionally, we have a growing toolbox of different components allowing us to work on next-generation ADC products. By leveraging our R&D strengths, our disciplined approach to target selection and our preclinical and clinical development strategy, we have created a diverse portfolio and research pipeline. Our clinical-stage PBD-based pipeline consists of two company-sponsored candidates, ADCT-901 (KAAG1) and ADCT-601 (mipasetamab uzoptirine) (AXL), as well as one clinical-stage candidate, ADCT-602 (CD22), which is being developed in collaboration with a partner. We are also committed to broadening our ADC platform by expanding new antibody constructs and payloads and advancing our differentiated next-generation assets.

Re-prioritized R&D pipeline to focus resources on the most advanced, lower risk value-generating programs:
The Company will continue the LOTIS-5, LOTIS-9 and LOTIS-7 studies which, if successful and support future regulatory approvals, have the potential to significantly increase ZYNLONTA’s market opportunity in earlier lines of therapy and with multiple combination partners.
The Company will continue clinical-stage programs: ADCT-601 targeting AXL, ADCT-901 targeting KAAG1, ADCT-602 targeting CD22.
The Company halted investments in its two preclinical programs ADCT-212 targeting PSMA and ADCT-701 targeting DLK1.
Increasing efficiencies through a 17% workforce reduction driven primarily by functions affected by the portfolio prioritization and back-office efficiencies, while maintaining the customer-facing footprint. This reduction was effective May 9, 2023 and includes full-time employees, vacant roles and contractors. Along with decreasing additional operating expenses, this will allow the Company to re-deploy capital in programs with the highest value-generating potential.

Portfolio Updates

ZYNLONTA

The Company’s partner Sobi completed the first European commercial sale of ZYNLONTA with the launch in Germany in the second quarter of 2023. The first commercial sale in the European Union triggered a $75 million milestone payment to the Company from HealthCare Royalty Partners under the royalty purchase agreement.
The pivotal Phase 2 clinical trial in China, led by Overland ADCT BioPharma, achieved its primary objective and demonstrated efficacy and safety data consistent with prior clinical trial results. Based on these positive results, Overland ADCT BioPharma submitted its marketing authorization application to the China National Medical Products Administration ("NMPA") seeking an indication for relapsed or refractory DLBCL after two or more lines of systemic therapy. The Biologics License Application ("BLA") submitted by Overland ADCT BioPharma was accepted for filing and granted priority review by the NMPA.
During the second quarter, the Company’s partner Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation ("MTPC") initiated the Phase 1/2 trial bridging study for ZYNLONTA in Japan.
The Company announced its plan to discontinue the Phase 2 LOTIS-9 trial studying ZYNLONTA in combination with rituximab in unfit or frail patients with previously untreated DLBCL. The FDA placed a partial clinical hold on the trial for new patient enrollment but will allow patients already on therapy who are deriving clinical benefit to remain on therapy after being reconsented. Following completion of treatment of any reconsenting patients, the Company will conduct the necessary steps to terminate the trial.
The LOTIS-5 Independent Data Monitoring Committee ("IDMC") reviewed unblinded data at a regularly scheduled meeting in late July and noted that the study should proceed as planned. They also recognized that the LOTIS-9 and LOTIS-5 trials target very different patient populations.


Pipeline

ADCT-601 (targeting AXL): Dose escalation is progressing in the Phase 1b trial, and the maximum tolerated dose has not yet been reached. The trial has been amended to focus on patients with non-small cell lung cancer ("NSCLC") and patients with sarcoma. The immunohistochemistry ("IHC") assay is under final validation.
ADCT-901 (targeting KAAG1): The Phase 1 study protocol amendment to explore different dosing schedules has been finalized and submitted to the FDA and will be submitted shortly to the regulatory authorities in Europe. Once approved by the Institutional Review Board ("IRB"), the Company plans to advance to the next dosing level. The IHC assay is under final validation.
ADCT-602 (targeting CD22): Dose expansion in the Phase 1 trial in collaboration with MD Anderson Cancer Center is progressing and three additional clinical trial sites have been selected.
ADCT-212 (targeting PSMA): The Company halted investments in this program to focus on nearer-term value drivers.
ADCT-701 (targeting DLK-1): The Company halted investments in this program to focus on nearer-term value drivers.

Revenue
Product revenues, net
To date, our sole source of product revenue has been generated from sales of ZYNLONTA in the U.S. Product revenues, net increased to USD 19.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from USD 17.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of USD 1.9 million or 11.0%. This increase is primarily due to higher sales volumes as we continue to commercialize ZYNLONTA, partially offset with higher gross-to-net deductions due to the Group Purchasing Organization ("GPO") contracting and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act’s requirement for manufacturers of certain single-source drugs separately paid for under Medicare Part B and marketed in single-dose containers to provide annual refunds ("discarded drug rebate") for unused drug.
License revenues and royalties
License revenues and royalties for the three months ended June 30, 2023 amounted to KUSD 86 and is attributable to royalties recognized under our exclusive license agreement with Sobi.
See note 5, "Revenue recognition" to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for further information.
Cost of sales
Cost of product sales primarily consisted of direct and indirect costs relating to the manufacture of ZYNLONTA from third-party providers of manufacturing, distribution and logistics services, intangible asset amortization expense, impairment charges, royalties paid to a collaboration partner based on net product sales of ZYNLONTA and inventory written down amounts. Cost of product sales decreased to USD 1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from USD 2.3 million

for the three months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of USD 0.9 million or 41.8%. Cost of product sales for the three months ended June 30, 2022 included higher impairment charges related to the manufacturing of batches that did not meet our specifications.
R&D expenses
The following table summarizes our R&D expenses for our major development programs for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

1 Prior to September 30, 2022, ADCT-212 was included in the Preclinical product candidates and research pipeline. Prior periods have been recast to conform to the current period presentation. Prior to June 30, 2022, certain R&D costs were not allocated to specific programs. Prior periods have been recast to conform to the current period presentation.
2 Includes third-party contracting and employee expenses, as well as expenses for preclinical research, storage, shipping and lab consumables that span multiple programs.
Our R&D expense may vary substantially from period to period according to the status of our R&D activities. The
timing of expenses are impacted by the commencement of clinical trials and enrollment of patients in clinical trials. In addition, R&D expense may fluctuate based on the status of regulatory approval of our drug candidates.

Our R&D expenses decreased to USD 31.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from USD 48.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of USD 16.6 million, or 34.2%.
The decrease in R&D expenses related to ZYNLONTA was due to a decrease in chemistry, manufacturing and controls expense resulting from one-time costs incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and higher cost sharing with our partners in clinical trial costs primarily due to the Sobi license agreement executed in July 2022. We also had lower clinical trial costs for LOTIS 3, LOTIS 6 and LOTIS 7, as well as lower professional fees related to ZYNLONTA, partially offset by higher clinical trial expenses for LOTIS 5 and LOTIS 9 for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
The decrease in R&D expenses related to Cami was primarily due to completion of the phase 2 study in 2022 and our decision to pause the program while we evaluated FDA feedback, continue to assess a potential regulatory pathway and seek a partner to continue developing this program.
The increase in R&D expenses related to ADCT-901 was primarily due to increased clinical trial expenses that resulted from increased enrollment and ongoing treatment and monitoring of currently enrolled and completed patients.
The decrease in R&D expenses related to ADCT-212 was primarily due to lower manufacturing expenses related to IND-enabling work during the three months ended June 30, 2023. We have re-prioritized the R&D pipeline to focus resources on the most advanced, lower risk value-generating programs and have therefore paused investments on this preclinical program.
The decrease in share-based compensation expense was driven by fluctuations in our share price, voluntary terminations and the workforce reduction announced and put into effect during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Our S&M expenses decreased to USD 14.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from USD 17.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of USD 3.2 million, or 18.1%. This decrease was primarily due to lower share-based compensation expense of USD 2.3 million due to fluctuations in our share price, voluntary terminations and the commercial re-alignment announced and put into effect during the three months ended June 30, 2023, as well as USD 0.9 million of lower spend on marketing, analytics and expenses, including those expenses in the European Union relating to the commercial launch of ZYNLONTA.

We expect our S&M expenses to continue to decrease as a percentage of revenue in the near-term as we implement cost reduction efforts through our new corporate strategy to help further reduce operating expenses.

Employee expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased primarily as a result of lower share-based compensation expense of USD 5.5 million due to fluctuations in our share price, transition of a board member, voluntary terminations and the workforce reduction announced and put into effect during the three months ended June 30, 2023. External costs decreased primarily due to lower insurance and IT costs of USD 1.2 million, partially offset by higher professional fees of USD 0.3 million.

We expect our G&A expenses to continue to decrease as a percentage of revenue in the near-term as we implement cost reduction efforts through our new corporate strategy to help further reduce operating expenses.

Non-operating (expense) income(453)12,875 (13,328)
Total other (expense) income(13,938)4,090 (18,028)
Financial income
Our financial income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was USD 2.4 million as compared to KUSD 16 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of USD 2.4 million. The increase was due primarily due to higher interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 due to higher yields received on our cash deposits.
Financial expense
Our financial expense increased to USD 15.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from USD 8.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of USD 7.1 million, or 80.2%. The increase was primarily due to a USD 5.4 million cumulative catch-up adjustment recognized in financial expense during the three months ended June 30, 2023 associated to the deferred royalty obligation with HCR due to revised revenue forecasts used in the valuation model, which revisions were primarily attributable to the Company’s 2023 updated development plans, as well as USD 1.6 million of higher interest expense related to the accretion of our deferred royalty obligation with HCR and senior secured term loans.
Non-operating (expense) income
Notable items in non-operating (expense) income impacting the results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 included:

Convertible loans, derivatives, change in fair value income
The change in fair value of the convertible loans derivatives was recognized as income of USD 14.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decreases in fair values of the embedded derivatives were primarily due to decreases in the fair value of the underlying shares during the period. The loan was exchanged on August 15, 2022. As a result, no income or expense was recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2023. Our accounting is explained further in note 14, "Convertible loan" to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Share of Results with Joint Venture
We recorded our proportionate share of Overland ADCT BioPharma’s net loss of USD 0.8 million and USD 1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in Overland ADCT BioPharma's net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to lower R&D costs as the BLA submitted by Overland ADCT BioPharma has been accepted and granted priority review by the NMPA, as well as lower share-based compensation expense as a result of a workforce reduction in the second quarter of 2023. See note 11, “Interest in joint venture” within the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for further details.

Income tax benefit
We recorded an income tax benefit of USD 6.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to USD 0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

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 are entitled under Swiss laws to carry forward any losses incurred for a period of seven years, which could be used to offset future taxable income. We are also entitled under U.S. tax law to carry forward R&D tax credits for a period of up to 20 years, which could be used to offset future taxable income.

The income tax benefit recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2023 is significantly less than the loss before taxes effected at the blended statutory rate due to the fact that we do not recognize current or deferred income taxes in connection with our Swiss operations. We do not expect to be able to realize the benefit of our tax loss carryforwards for Swiss corporate income tax purposes, and, therefore, we have not recognized deferred tax assets in our financial statements. Further, we do not generate or pay current income taxes in Switzerland.

Our income tax benefit recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2023 is driven by our U.S. operations. Our income tax benefit of USD 6.6 million recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2023 was driven by USD 4.9 million of deferred income tax benefit recorded in connection with return-to-provision adjustments on our 2022 U.S. income tax returns (filed during the second quarter of 2023). Generally, current income tax is recorded primarily due to our internal arrangements to reimburse our foreign subsidiaries in the U.S. and the United Kingdom for the services they render to our parent company in Switzerland. Commercial sales in the U.S. also contributed to the current period income tax expense. Ultimately, the net profit at each subsidiary is subject to local income tax. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, with respect to our U.S. operations, a deferred tax benefit of USD 7.2 million was recorded and partially offset by current income tax expense of USD 0.6 million.

Comparatively, our income tax benefit of USD 0.9 million recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2022 was driven by USD 4.6 million of deferred income tax benefit recorded in connection with the recognition of deferred tax assets associated with our U.S. operations on the basis of our projections of future taxable income, partially offset by the current income tax expense of USD 3.7 million.

In estimating future taxable income to assess the realizability of deferred tax assets, management develops assumptions including the amount of future net revenue and pre-tax operating income and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates we are using to manage the underlying business. Management notes that its projections of future taxable profits rely on currently enacted law and are subject to revision if the U.S. legislates new tax law. As such, changes in tax laws and rates could also affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities in the future. We record the effect of a tax rate or law change on our deferred tax assets and liabilities in the period of enactment. Future tax rate or law changes could have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Revenue
Product revenues, net

To date, our sole source of product revenue has been generated from sales of ZYNLONTA in the U.S. Product revenues, net increased to USD 38.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, from USD 33.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of USD 4.4 million, This increase is primarily due to higher sales volumes as we continue to commercialize ZYNLONTA, partially offset with higher gross-to-net deductions due to the Group Purchasing Organization ("GPO") contracting and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act's requirement for manufacturers of certain single-source drugs separately paid for under Medicare Part B and marketed in single-dose containers to provide annual refunds ("discarded drug rebate") for unused drug.

License revenues and royalties
License revenues and royalties for the six months ended June 30, 2023 amounted to KUSD 125 and is attributable to royalties recognized under our exclusive license agreement with Sobi. On January 18, 2022, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with MTPC for the development and commercialization of ZYNLONTA for all hematologic and solid tumor indications in Japan. Under the terms of the agreement, we received an upfront payment of USD 30 million, which was recorded as license revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2022. See note 5, "Revenue recognition" to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for further information.
Cost of sales
Cost of product sales primarily consisted of direct and indirect costs relating to the manufacture of ZYNLONTA from third-party providers of manufacturing, distribution and logistics services, intangible asset amortization expense, impairment charges, royalties paid to a collaboration partner based on net product sales of ZYNLONTA and inventory written down amounts. Cost of product sales decreased to USD 1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from USD 2.8 million for

Our R&D expenses decreased to USD 71.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from USD 97.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of USD 26.1 million, or 31.7%.
The decrease in R&D expenses related to ZYNLONTA was due to higher cost sharing with our partners in clinical trial costs primarily resulting from the Sobi license agreement executed in July 2022. We also had lower clinical trial costs for LOTIS 3, LOTIS 6 and LOTIS 7, as well as lower professional fees related to ZYNLONTA, partially offset by higher clinical trial expenses for LOTIS 5 and LOTIS 9 for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
The decrease in R&D expenses related to Cami was primarily due completion of the phase 2 study in 2022 and our decision to pause the program while we evaluated FDA feedback, continue to assess a potential regulatory pathway and seek a partner to continue developing this program.
The increase in R&D expenses related to ADCT-901 was primarily due to increased clinical trial expenses that resulted from increased enrollment and ongoing treatment and monitoring of currently enrolled and completed patients.
The decrease in R&D expenses related to ADCT-212 was primarily due to lower manufacturing expenses related to IND-enabling work during the six months ended June 30, 2023. We have re-prioritized the R&D pipeline to focus resources on the most advanced, lower risk value-generating programs and have therefore paused investments on this preclinical program.
The decrease in share-based compensation expense was driven by fluctuations in our share price, voluntary terminations and the workforce reduction announced and put into effect during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

The decrease was primarily due to lower share-based compensation expense of USD 3.6 million due to fluctuations in our share price, voluntary terminations and the commercial re-alignment announced and put into effect during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was also attributable to USD 2.6 million in lower spend on marketing, analytics and expenses, including those expenses in the European Union relating to the commercial launch of ZYNLONTA.
We expect our S&M expenses to continue to decrease as a percentage of revenue in the near-term as we implement cost reduction efforts through our new corporate strategy to help further reduce operating expenses.

2 Includes share-based compensation expense
Our G&A expenses decreased to USD 26.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from USD 37.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of USD 10.8 million, or 28.9%. Employee expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023 decreased primarily as a result of lower share-based compensation expense of USD 8.2 million due to fluctuations in our share price, transition of a board member, voluntary terminations and the workforce reductions announced and put into effect during the three months ended June 30, 2023, partially offset by higher wages and benefits of USD 1.5 million. External costs incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased primarily due to lower insurance and IT costs of USD 2.1 million, as well as lower professional fees of USD 2.4 million, including USD 1.5 million in fees associated with the license agreement entered into with MTPC.

Financial income
Our financial income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was USD 4.5 million as compared to USD 18.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of USD 13.8 million, or 75.2%. The decrease was primarily related to a USD 18.3 million cumulative catch-up adjustment associated to the deferred royalty obligation with HCR during the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to revised revenue forecasts used in the valuation model, which revisions were primarily attributable to updates made for the Company’s 2022 strategic planning decisions, including updated development plans, partially offset by higher interest income of USD 4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 due to higher yields received on our cash deposits.
Financial expense
We had financial expense of USD 26.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to USD 18.0 million of financial expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase in financial expense of 8.1 million. The increase was primarily related to a cumulative catch-up adjustment of USD 5.3 million recognized in financial expense during the six months ended June 30, 2023 associated to the deferred royalty obligation with HCR due to revised revenue forecasts used in the valuation model, which revisions were primarily attributable to the Company’s 2023 updated development plans, as well as higher interest expense of USD 2.8 million related to the accretion of our deferred royalty obligation with HCR and senior secured term loans.
Non-operating (expense) income
Notable items other than revenue from product sales and license revenue impacting the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 included:

Convertible loans, derivatives, change in fair value income
The change in fair value of the convertible loans derivatives was recognized as income of USD 30.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decreases in fair values of the embedded derivatives were primarily due to decreases in the fair value of the underlying shares during the period. The loan was exchanged on August 15, 2022. As a result, no income or
12


expense was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2023. Our accounting is explained further in note 14, "Convertible loan" to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Senior secured term loans and warrants
The Company has accounted for the first tranche of the senior secured term loan and warrants as one hybrid financial instrument, with the USD 120.0 million proceeds separated into two components: a warrant obligation and a loan. The warrant obligation has been recorded at its initial fair value at the time the agreement was entered into on August 15, 2022 and is remeasured to fair value on a quarterly basis. The loan is presented as a liability and represents the net present value of all future cash flows associated with the loan discounted at its EIR. The income of USD 0.6 million as a result of changes in the warrant obligation for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to the decrease in fair value of the underlying shares since December 31, 2022. Our accounting for these changes in the fair value of our warrant obligation is explained in note 13, "Senior secured term loan facility and warrants" to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Deerfield warrant obligation, change in fair value income
Pursuant to an exchange agreement with Deerfield entered into on August 15, 2022, the Company issued warrants to Deerfield to purchase an aggregate of 4,412,840 common shares. The Deerfield warrant obligation has been recorded at its initial fair value at the time the agreement was entered into on August 15, 2022 and is remeasured to fair value on a quarterly basis. The income of USD 0.6 million as a result of changes in the warrant obligation for six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to the decrease in fair value of the underlying shares since December 31, 2022. Changes in fair value of the Deerfield warrant obligation are explained in note 15, "Deerfield warrants" to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Share of Results with Joint Venture
We recorded our proportionate share of Overland ADCT BioPharma’s net loss of USD 2.1 million and USD 4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in Overland ADCT BioPharma's net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to lower R&D costs as the BLA submitted by Overland ADCT BioPharma has been accepted and granted priority review by the NMPA, as well as lower share-based compensation expense as a result of a workforce reduction in the second quarter of 2023. We also recorded a USD 0.6 million true-up during the six months ended June 30, 2023 to align our proportionate share of Overland ADCT BioPharma's share-based compensation expense, which was lower than our estimate for the year ended December 31, 2022. See note 11, “Interest in joint venture” within the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for further details.
Income tax benefit
We recorded an income tax benefit of USD 6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to income tax benefit of USD 2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
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 are entitled under Swiss laws to carry forward any losses incurred for a period of seven years, which could be used to offset future taxable income. We are also entitled under U.S. tax law to carry forward R&D tax credits for a period of up to 20 years, which could be used to offset future taxable income.

The income tax benefit recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2023 is significantly less than the loss before taxes effected at the blended statutory rate due to the fact that we do not recognize current or deferred income taxes in connection with our Swiss operations. We do not expect to be able to realize the benefit of our tax loss carryforwards for Swiss corporate income tax purposes, and, therefore, we have not recognized deferred tax assets in our financial statements. Further, we do not generate or pay current income taxes in Switzerland.

Our income tax benefit recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2023 is driven by our U.S. operations. Our income tax benefit of USD 6.9 million recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was driven by USD 5.4 million of deferred income tax benefit in connection with return-to-provision adjustments on our 2022 U.S. income tax returns (filed during this quarter). Generally, current income tax is recorded primarily due to our internal arrangements to reimburse our foreign subsidiaries in the U.S. and the United Kingdom for the services they render to our parent company in Switzerland. Commercial sales in the U.S. also contributed to the current period income tax expense. Ultimately, the net profit at each subsidiary is
13


subject to local income tax. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, with respect to our U.S. operations, a deferred tax benefit of USD 8.0 million was recorded and partially offset by current income tax expense of USD 1.1 million.

Comparatively, our income tax benefit of USD 2.1 million recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was driven by USD 8.4 million of deferred income tax benefit recorded in connection with the recognition of deferred tax assets associated with our U.S. operations on the basis of our projections of future taxable income, partially offset by the current income tax expense of USD 6.3 million.

In estimating future taxable income to assess the realizability of deferred tax assets, management develops assumptions including the amount of future net revenue and pre-tax operating income and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates we are using to manage the underlying business. Management notes that its projections of future taxable profits rely on currently enacted law and are subject to revision if the U.S. legislates new tax law. As such, changes in tax laws and rates could also affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities in the future. We record the effect of a tax rate or law change on our deferred tax assets and liabilities in the period of enactment. Future tax rate or law changes could have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of USD 347.5 million. We also have an at-the-market (“ATM”) offering program, pursuant to which we may sell our common shares with an aggregate offering price of up to USD 150.0 million. There have been no shares sold under the ATM program to date. In addition, under the Loan Agreement, we may draw up to two additional tranches, each up to USD 27.5 million principal amount of term loans before February 15, 2024, subject to satisfaction of certain customary conditions including compliance with our other material agreements for the incurrence of such debt. We plan to continue to fund our operating needs through our existing cash and cash equivalents, revenues from the sale of ZYNLONTA, potential milestone and royalty payments under our licensing agreements and additional equity financings, debt financings and/or other forms of financing, as well as funds provided by collaborations. We are also continuously engaged in discussions to establish value-maximizing strategic collaborations, business combinations, acquisitions, dispositions, licensing opportunities and similar transactions to further the clinical development and commercialization of ZYNLONTA and/or our product candidates.
Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, R&D expenses, S&M 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 establish ZYNLONTA as the 3L+ diffuse large B cell lymphoma (“DLBCL”) standard of care, continue to study and advance ZYNLONTA in earlier lines of therapy and in combinations to potentially expand our market opportunity and further develop our clinical-stage PBD-based pipeline and our ADC platform. 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.
Cash Flows
Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:
(in KUSD)Six months ended June 30,
Net cash (used in) provided by:20232022Change
Operating activities(51,596)(86,892)35,296

Financing activities74,543 (510)75,053 
Net change in cash and cash equivalents20,919 (89,539)110,458 
Net cash used in operating activities
Net cash used in operating activities decreased to USD 51.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from USD 86.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of USD 35.3 million, or 40.6%. The decrease was primarily due to
14


the receipt of the USD 50.0 million milestone payment from Sobi upon approval of the Marketing Authorisation Application by the European Commission for ZYNLONTA in third-line DLBCL in February 2023, increases in the cash received from the sale of ZYNLONTA, as well as a tax refund received, partially offset by higher expenditures related to our other liabilities and payables.
Net cash used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities decreased to USD 2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from USD 2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of USD 0.1 million, or 5.1%. The decrease was primarily due to lower intangible asset acquisitions, partially offset by higher capital expenditures related to property, plant and equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was USD 74.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and primarily related to the proceeds received under the deferred royalty obligation with HCR upon the first commercial sale of ZYNLONTA in the United Kingdom or any European Union country. Net cash used in financing activities was USD 0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Operating Capital Requirements
As of June 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of USD 347.5 million. Based on our current business plan, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, forecasted revenue from ZYNLONTA and receipt of forecasted royalty and milestone payments under our license agreements will enable us to meet our financial obligations for at least the next 12 months from the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, which are outlined in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022 and our subsequent filings with the SEC, as well as actual versus forecast demand for ZYNLONTA and amounts that we receive under our license and collaboration agreements. In addition, we may seek to raise additional capital through debt and equity financings, license agreements and other arrangements and combinations thereof that we believe are in our best interest.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2023 and during the periods presented, we did not have, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
During the periods presented, there were no significant changes to our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk from those described in the section in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022 titled “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” with the exception of a hypothetical 100 basis point increase (decrease) in our interest rate as of June 30, 2023. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase (decrease) in the interest rate as of June 30, 2023 would have increased (decreased) the effective interest associated with our senior secured term loan facility by KUSD 910 and (KUSD 910).
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

In preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty included those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies other than those described in note 3, "Significant accounting policies" to our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Company to host conference call today at 8:30 a.m. EDT

Lausanne, Switzerland, August 8, 2023 – ADC Therapeutics SA (NYSE: ADCT) today reported financial results for the second quarter 2023 and provided business updates.

“We continue to focus on unlocking potential value from multiple ongoing initiatives over the next 12 months,” said Ameet Mallik, Chief Executive Officer of ADC Therapeutics. “During the second quarter, we executed on our corporate and capital allocation strategy that streamlined our processes and prioritized our nearer-term clinical catalysts. We implemented the new commercial go-to-market model, enhanced investment in key pipeline programs, delivered organizational efficiencies and strengthened our capital resources. Our ongoing clinical trials of ZYNLONTA in earlier lines and combinations, as well as our earlier-stage pipeline programs, are expected to deliver key milestones in 2024. We look forward to keeping you updated on our progress.”

Recent Highlights and Developments

ZYNLONTA® (loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl)
ZYNLONTA generated net sales of $19.2 million in the second quarter of 2023, representing an 11% increase over the second quarter of 2022. The growth was partially offset by higher gross-to-net sales deductions due to the new Medicare Part B discarded drug policy effective January 1, 2023 and Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) contracting. Compared to the prior quarter, net sales increased 1.3% and volume increased 3.4%.
The Company’s partner Sobi completed the first European commercial sale of ZYNLONTA with the launch in Germany in the second quarter of 2023. The first commercial sale in the European Union triggered a $75 million milestone payment to the Company from HealthCare Royalty Partners under the royalty purchase agreement.
The Biologics License Application (BLA) for ZYNLONTA submitted by Overland ADCT BioPharma was accepted for filing by the China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) seeking an indication for relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) after two or more lines of systemic therapy. The BLA has been granted priority review by the NMPA.
During the second quarter, the Company’s partner Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation (MTPC) initiated the Phase 1/2 bridging study for ZYNLONTA in Japan.
The Company announced its plan to discontinue the Phase 2 LOTIS-9 trial studying ZYNLONTA in combination with rituximab in unfit or frail patients with previously untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) placed a partial clinical hold on the trial for new patient enrollment but will allow patients already on therapy who are deriving clinical benefit to remain on therapy after being reconsented. Following

completion of treatment of any reconsenting patients, the Company will conduct the necessary steps to terminate the trial.
The LOTIS-5 Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) reviewed unblinded data at a regularly scheduled meeting in late July and noted that the study should proceed as planned. They also recognized that the LOTIS-9 and LOTIS-5 trials target very different patient populations.

Pipeline
ADCT-601 (targeting AXL): Dose escalation is progressing in the Phase 1b trial, and the maximum tolerated dose has not yet been reached. The trial has been amended to focus on patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and patients with sarcoma. The immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay is under final validation.
ADCT-901 (targeting KAAG1): The Phase 1 study protocol amendment to explore different dosing schedules has been finalized and submitted to the FDA and will be submitted shortly to the regulatory authorities in Europe. Once approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB), the Company plans to advance to the next dosing level. The IHC assay is under final validation.
ADCT-602 (targeting CD22): Dose expansion in the Phase 1 trial in collaboration with MD Anderson Cancer Center is progressing and additional clinical trial sites have been selected.

Guidance
The Company maintains the following guidance based on its current business plan:
ZYNLONTA FY 2023 net product sales expected to grow by a double-digit percentage year-over-year. This includes a gross-to-net increase as compared to 2022 of:
Approximately 2 to 3 percentage points related to Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) contracting
Mid to high single-digit percentage points resulting from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act’s requirement for manufacturers of certain single-source drugs separately paid for under Medicare Part B and marketed in single-dose containers to provide annual refunds for discarded drug, effective January 1, 2023
Continued decrease in total operating expenses expected in 2023 and 2024 as compared to 2022 as a result of the implementation of the new corporate strategy
Expected cash runway to the middle of 2025

Upcoming Expected Milestones

ZYNLONTA
Grow ZYNLONTA net sales by a double-digit percentage year-over-year and achieve commercial brand profitability in 2023
Updated data from safety lead-in portion of Phase 3 LOTIS-5 study in 2H 2023

Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents were $347.5 million as of June 30, 2023, compared to $326.4 million as of December 31, 2022. In June 2023, the Company received a $75.0 million milestone payment from Healthcare Royalty Partners, triggered by the first EU commercial sale. The Company expects its cash runway to extend into the middle of 2025.

Product Revenues

Net product revenues were $19.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to $17.3 million for the same quarter in 2022. Net product revenues are for U.S. sales of ZYNLONTA. The increase of $1.9 million for the quarter was primarily due to higher sales volume, partially offset by higher gross-to-net deductions.

Research and Development (R&D) Expenses

R&D expenses were $31.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to $48.5 million for the same quarter in 2022. R&D expenses decreased due to less investment in Camidanlumab Tesirine (Cami) due to the completion of the Phase 2 study in 2022 and the Company’s decision to seek a partner to progress the program, as well as less investment in other development programs. R&D expenses in the second quarter of 2023 also decreased due to lower share-based compensation expense as a result of fluctuations in the share price, voluntary terminations and the reduction in workforce implemented in May 2023 creating organizational efficiencies. These efficiencies allowed the Company to enhance investments in prioritized portfolio programs.

Selling and Marketing (S&M) Expenses

S&M expenses were $14.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to $17.7 million for the same quarter in 2022. The decrease in S&M expenses for the quarter was primarily due to lower share-based compensation expense resulting from fluctuations in the share price and award forfeitures in connection with voluntary terminations and the commercial realignment implemented in the second quarter.

General & Administrative Expenses

G&A expenses were $11.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to $18.2 million for the same quarter in 2022. G&A expenses decreased during the second quarter of 2023 primarily due to lower share-based compensation expense due to fluctuations in the share price, transition of a board member, voluntary terminations and the workforce reduction implemented in May 2023.

Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss

Net loss was $47.1 million, or a net loss of $0.58 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. This compares to a net loss of $64.4 million, or a net loss of $0.84 per basic and diluted share, for the same quarter in 2022.

        


Adjusted net loss was $30.3 million, or an adjusted net loss of $0.37 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. This compares to an adjusted net loss of $56.3 million, or an adjusted net loss of $0.73 per basic and diluted share, for the same quarter in 2022.

The decrease in net loss and adjusted net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the same quarter in 2022, was attributable to lower R&D expenses and higher product revenues during the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in net loss was also attributable to lower share-based compensation expense, partially offset by other financial expense arising from a cumulative catch-up adjustment associated with the valuation of the deferred royalty obligation with Healthcare Royalty Partners recognized in the second quarter of 2023 and from changes in the fair value of our convertible loan derivatives, which was recognized in the second quarter of 2022.

About ZYNLONTA® (loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl)

ZYNLONTA® is a CD19-directed antibody drug conjugate (ADC). Once bound to a CD19-expressing cell, ZYNLONTA is internalized by the cell, where enzymes release a pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) payload. The potent payload binds to DNA minor groove with little distortion, remaining less visible to DNA repair mechanisms. This ultimately results in cell cycle arrest and tumor cell death.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) have approved ZYNLONTA (loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl) for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory (r/r) large B-cell lymphoma after two or more lines of systemic therapy, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) not otherwise specified (NOS), DLBCL arising from low-grade lymphoma and also high-grade B-cell lymphoma. The trial included a broad spectrum of heavily pre-treated patients (median three prior lines of therapy) with difficult-to-treat disease, including patients who did not respond to first-line therapy, patients refractory to all prior lines of therapy, patients with double/triple hit genetics and patients who had stem cell transplant and CAR-T therapy prior to their treatment with ZYNLONTA. This indication is approved by the FDA under accelerated approval and in the European Union under conditional approval based on overall response rate and continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial.

ZYNLONTA is also being evaluated as a therapeutic option in combination studies in other B-cell malignancies and earlier lines of therapy.

About ADC Therapeutics

ADC Therapeutics (NYSE: ADCT) is a commercial-stage biotechnology company improving the lives of those affected by cancer with its next-generation, targeted antibody drug conjugates (ADCs). The Company is advancing its proprietary PBD-based ADC technology to transform the treatment paradigm for patients with hematologic malignancies and solid tumors.

        


ADC Therapeutics’ CD19-directed ADC ZYNLONTA (loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl) is approved by the FDA for the treatment of relapsed or refractory diffuse large b-cell lymphoma after two or more lines of systemic therapy. ZYNLONTA is also in development in combination with other agents. In addition to ZYNLONTA, ADC Therapeutics has multiple ADCs in ongoing clinical and preclinical development.

Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures

In addition to financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS, this document also contains certain non-IFRS financial measures based on management’s view of performance including:

Adjusted net loss
Adjusted net loss per share

Management uses such measures internally when monitoring and evaluating our operational performance, generating future operating plans and making strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. We believe that these adjusted financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and facilitate operating performance comparability across both past and future reporting periods. These non-IFRS measures have limitations as financial measures and should be considered in addition to, and not in isolation or as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with IFRS. When preparing these supplemental non-IFRS measures, management typically excludes certain IFRS items that management does not believe are indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Furthermore, management does not consider these IFRS items to be normal, recurring cash operating expenses; however, these items may not meet the IFRS definition of unusual or non-recurring items. Since non-IFRS financial measures do not have standardized definitions and meanings, they may differ from the non-IFRS financial measures used by other companies, which reduces their usefulness as comparative financial measures. Because of these limitations, you should consider these adjusted financial measures alongside other IFRS financial measures.

The following items are excluded from adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share:

Shared-Based Compensation Expense: We exclude share-based compensation expense from our adjusted financial measures because share-based compensation expense, which is non-cash, fluctuates from period to period based on factors that are not within our control, such as our stock price on the dates share-based grants are issued. Share-based compensation expense has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a recurring expense in our business and an important part of our compensation strategy.

Certain Other Items: We exclude certain other significant items that we believe do not represent the performance of our business, from our adjusted financial measures. Such items are evaluated by management on an individual basis based on both quantitative and qualitative aspects of their nature. While not all-inclusive, examples of certain other significant items excluded from our adjusted financial measures would be: changes in the fair value of derivatives and warrant obligations and the effective interest expense associated with the Facility Agreement with Deerfield and the senior secured term loan facility and the effective interest expense and a cumulative catch-up adjustment associated with the deferred royalty obligation under the royalty purchase agreement with HealthCare Royalty Partners.
        



See the attached Reconciliation of IFRS Measures to Non-IFRS Measures for explanations of the amounts excluded and included to arrive at the non-IFRS financial measures.

(i)Share-based compensation expense represents the cost of equity awards issued to our directors, management and employees. The fair value of awards is computed at the time the award is granted, including any market and other performance conditions, and is recognized over the vesting period of the award by a charge to the income statement and a corresponding increase in other reserves within equity. These accounting entries have no cash impact.

(ii)Change in the fair value of the convertible loan derivatives, senior secured term loan facility warrants and the Deerfield warrant obligation results from the valuation at the end of each accounting period. There are several inputs to these valuations, but those most likely to result in significant changes to the valuations are changes in the value of the underlying instrument (i.e., changes in the price of our common shares) and changes in expected volatility in that price. These accounting entries have no cash impact.
(iii)Effective interest expense on convertible loans and senior secured term loans relates to the increase in the value of our loans in accordance with the amortized cost method.
(iv)Deferred royalty obligation interest expense relates to the accretion expense on our deferred royalty obligation pursuant to the royalty purchase agreement with HCR and cumulative catch-up adjustment expense (income) relates to changes in the expected payments to HCR based on a periodic assessment of our underlying revenue projections.

Corporate information Corporate information
ADC Therapeutics SA (the “Company” or “ADCT”) was incorporated on June 6, 2011 under the laws of Switzerland. The registered office of the Company is located at Route de la Corniche 3B, 1066 Epalinges, Switzerland. The Company controls three wholly-owned subsidiaries: ADC Therapeutics America, Inc. (“ADCT America”), which was incorporated in Delaware, USA on December 10, 2014, ADC Therapeutics (UK) Ltd (“ADCT UK”), which was incorporated in England on December 12, 2014 and ADC Therapeutics (NL) B.V. which was incorporated in the Netherlands on February 25, 2022. The Company and its three subsidiaries form the ADCT Group (the “Group”).
The Group is focused on the development and commercialization of antibody drug conjugates (“ADCs”), including research, development, human clinical trials, regulatory approval and commercialization. On April 23, 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved ZYNLONTA for the treatment of relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (“DLBCL”) and the Company commenced recognizing revenue upon the sale of ZYNLONTA during the second quarter of 2021. ADCs are drug constructs which combine monoclonal antibodies specific to particular types of cells with cytotoxic molecules or warheads which seek to kill cancer cells to which the ADC attaches. ADCs have extensive potential therapeutic applications in cancer.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue on August 8, 2023.
Going concern basis
ADCT is a commercial-stage company developing innovative therapeutics. The Group is exposed to all risks inherent in establishing and developing its business, including the substantial uncertainty that current projects will succeed. The Group’s success may also depend on its ability to:
establish and maintain a strong patent position and protection;
develop, gain regulatory approval and commercialize drug products;
enter into collaborations with partners in the pharmaceutical industry;
acquire and retain key personnel; and
acquire additional funding to support its operations.
Since its incorporation, the Group has primarily funded its growth through capital increases and additional funds provided by research collaborations, license agreements, the issuance of the Company’s common shares, the issuance of convertible loans, the issuance of term loans and proceeds from a royalty purchase agreement. The Group does not have recourse to bank loans. As a result, the Group is not exposed to liquidity risk through requests for early repayment of loans, other than, pursuant to the senior secured term loan facility, it must maintain a balance of at least USD 60.0 million in cash and cash equivalents plus any accounts payable that are greater than ninety days old at the end of each quarter.
As of June 30, 2023, the Group’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to USD 347.5 million (December 31, 2022: USD 326.4 million).
Management believes that the Group has sufficient resources to meet its financial obligations for at least the next 12 months from the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and, as a result, is presenting these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group on a going concern basis.

Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IAS 34 requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
In preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty included those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. There have been no material changes to the use of estimates and judgements other than those described in note 3, "Significant accounting policies."

Revenue Recognition
Product Revenue

The Company generates revenue from sales of ZYNLONTA in the U.S. for the treatment of relapsed or refractory DLBCL, which was approved by the FDA on April 23, 2021 and launched shortly thereafter. 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.

On November 15, 2021, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act was enacted, which added a requirement for manufacturers of certain single-source drugs (including biologics and biosimilars) separately paid for under Medicare Part B for at least 18 months and marketed in single-dose containers or packages (known as refundable single-dose container or single-use package drugs) to provide annual refunds if those portions of the dispensed drug that are unused and discarded exceed an applicable percentage defined by statute or regulation. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (the “CMS”) finalized regulations to implement this section on November 18, 2022, and the provision went into effect on January 1, 2023.

The Company has accounted for this annual refund (“discarded drug rebate”) as a GTN sales adjustment beginning in the first quarter of 2023. The discarded drug rebate will involve significant estimates and judgment after considering factors including legal interpretations of applicable laws and regulations, historical experience with discarded volumes and processing time lags.

The Company uses information from external sources to identify the Company’s discarded volumes and estimate the discarded drug rebate. The Company’s estimates are subject to inherent limitations of estimates that rely on third-party information and reflect other limitations including lags between the date as of which third-party information is generated and the date on which the Company receives third-party information. Estimates for the discarded drug rebate are being assessed each period and adjusted as required to revise information or actual experience.
New and amended IFRS standards
There are no new IFRS standards, amendments to standards or interpretations that are mandatory for the financial year beginning on January 1, 2023, that are relevant to the Group. New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that are not yet effective, which have been deemed by the Group as currently not relevant, are not listed here.

Financial risk management Financial risk management 
4.1Financial risk factors
The Group’s activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including changes in the Company’s share price, exposure to fluctuation in currency exchange rates and exposure to interest rate movements), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022. In relation to the royalty purchase agreement with entities managed by Healthcare Royalty Management, LLC ("HCR"), the Company is obligated to pay interest in the form of royalties in connection with certain net sales and licensing revenue. As the effective interest rate ("EIR") on the deferred royalty obligation does not depend on market performance, the exposure to interest rate and market risk is deemed low. See note 17, “Deferred royalty obligation” for further information. In regards to the senior secured term loans, the interest rate is variable and dependent upon market factors. The Company will update the EIR at the end of each reporting period for changes in the rate. See note 13, "Senior secured term loan facility and warrants" for further information. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase (decrease) in the interest rate as of June 30, 2023 would have increased (decreased) the effective interest expense associated with the Company's senior secured term loan facility by KUSD 910 and (KUSD 910). There have been no other material changes in financial risk management since December 31, 2022.
4.2Fair value estimation
As of June 30, 2023, the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value for the following financial assets and liabilities:
Cash and cash equivalents
Trade accounts receivable; and
Trade accounts payable
In the six months ended June 30, 2023, there were no significant changes in the business or economic circumstances that affected the fair value of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities.
Fair values must be estimated at the end of each reporting period with regard to the senior secured term loan warrant obligation and the Deerfield warrants. The approach to valuation follows the grant date fair value principle, and the key input factors are described for the senior secured term loan facility warrant obligation in note 13, "Senior secured term loan facility and warrants" and for the Deerfield warrants in note 15, "Deerfield warrants." Commonly accepted pricing models (Black-Scholes) have been used to calculate the fair values. The valuation of the senior secured term loan facility warrant obligation and Deerfield warrants are classified as pertaining to Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. The convertible loan derivatives previously were classified as pertaining to Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy and were extinguished on August 15, 2022. See note 14, "Convertible loans" for further information. The Company no longer has any inputs pertaining to level 3 of the valuation hierarchy set out below.
The different levels of the valuation hierarchy have been defined as follows:
(a)Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
(b)Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (for example, as prices) or indirectly (for example, derived from prices);
(c)Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
There were no transfers between the respective levels during the period.

On January 18, 2022, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with MTPC for the development and commercialization of ZYNLONTA for all hematologic and solid tumor indications in Japan. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company received an upfront payment of USD 30 million and may receive up to an additional USD 205 million in milestones if certain development and commercial events are achieved. The Company will also be entitled to receive royalties ranging in percentage from the high teens to the low twenties based on net sales of ZYNLONTA in Japan. MTPC will conduct clinical studies of ZYNLONTA in Japan and will have the right to participate in any global clinical studies by bearing a portion of the study costs. In addition, the Company will supply ZYNLONTA to MTPC for its drug development and commercialization under a supply agreement.

On July 8, 2022, the Company entered into exclusive license agreement with Sobi for the development and commercialization of ZYNLONTA for all hematologic and solid tumor indications outside of the U.S., greater China, Singapore and Japan. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company received an upfront payment of USD 55 million and is eligible to receive up to USD 382.5 million in regulatory and net sales-based milestones, of which USD 50 million in license revenue was recognized in December 2022 upon approval of a Marketing Authorisation Application by the European Commission for ZYNLONTA in third-line DLBCL and received in the first quarter of 2023. The Company will also receive royalties ranging in percentage from the mid-teens to the mid-twenties based on net sales of the product in Sobi’s licensed territories, subject to certain adjustments. The Company recognized KUSD 125 of revenue attributable to royalties in the Sobi licensed territories during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The decrease in Cost of product sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, was primarily driven by higher impairment charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 related to the manufacturing of batches that did not meet the Company's specifications.

R&D external costs decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 as a result of the completion of the phase 2 study in 2022 for Camidanlumab Tesirine (Cami) and our decision to pause the program while we evaluated FDA feedback, continue to assess a potential regulatory pathway and seek a partner to continue developing this program. The Company also had higher cost sharing with our partners, lower clinical trial costs for LOTIS 3, LOTIS 6 and LOTIS 7, as well as lower professional fees related to ZYNLONTA, partially offset by higher clinical trial expenses for LOTIS 5 and LOTIS 9 and in ADCT-212 the Company incurred lower manufacturing expenses related to IND-enabling work. The decrease in external costs was partially offset by an increase in clinical trial costs for ADCT-901 and expenses related to the Company's preclinical product candidates and research pipeline. Employee expense decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to lower share-based compensation expense driven by fluctuations in our share price, voluntary terminations and the workforce reduction announced and put into effect during the second quarter of 2023.

The decrease in S&M expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to lower share-based compensation expense due to the fluctuations in the Company's share price, voluntary terminations and the commercial re-alignment announced and put into effect during the second quarter of 2023, as well as lower spend on marketing, analytics and expenses, including those expenses in the European Union relating to the commercial launch of ZYNLONTA.
The decrease in G&A expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was attributable to lower share-based compensation expense due to fluctuations in the Company's share price, transition of a board member, voluntary terminations and the workforce reduction announced and put into effect during the second quarter of 2023, as well as lower external costs related to insurance and IT, partially offset with higher professional fees. The decrease in G&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was also attributable to professional fees associated with the license agreement entered into with MTPC recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2022, partially offset by higher wages and benefits.

Changes in fair value of the Deerfield warrant obligation are explained in note 15, "Deerfield warrants."
Senior secured term loan facility, warrants, change in fair value (expense) income
The Company has accounted for the First Tranche of the senior secured term loan and warrants as one hybrid financial instrument, with the USD 120.0 million proceeds separated into two components: a warrant obligation and a loan. The warrant obligation has been recorded at its initial fair value and is remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period. Changes in fair value of the warrant obligation are explained in note 13, "Senior secured term loan facility and warrants."

Also included in non-operating (expense) income are favorable or unfavorable Exchange differences. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to British pounds, Euros and Swiss francs. Exchange differences represent gain or (loss) based on favorable or unfavorable changes in foreign currencies.
R&D tax credit
The Company recognizes as income (expense) amounts received and receivable by its subsidiary, ADCT UK, under the United Kingdom’s R&D Expenditure Credit scheme (“UK R&D Credit Scheme”). The grants represent 20% of eligible expenditures for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and represent 13% of eligible expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The grants represent 12% of eligible expenditures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The claims are payable through the tax system, as a refund of corporation tax or of other taxes, including income tax and social security payments deducted at source from qualifying (research) employees’ payroll and VAT. The relevant amounts have been therefore presented net in the balance sheet. As the credit is independent of ADCT UK’s taxable profit, is clearly designed to incentivize companies to invest in R&D activities and is itself taxable income, the Group has recognized the income as government grants within non-operating (expense) income and not as a credit to income tax expense.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company did not capitalize any license fees as intangible assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company capitalized the following milestone payments as intangible assets:

An amount of KUSD 500 paid upon the dosing of a specific number of patients in the first in-human clinical study related to an antibody the Company acquired from a third party to be used in research, development, manufacturing and commercialization. The amount was capitalized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset; and

•    An amount of KUSD 195 paid upon the successful completion of in-vivo efficacy studies related to a license with a third party to use their specific binding proteins in the development, manufacturing and commercialization of products. The amount was capitalized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company decided to terminate a program.

Oak Tree and Owl Rock Warrant Obligations

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized (expense) income of KUSD (39) and KUSD 617, respectively, as a result of changes in the fair value of the warrant obligations. The fair value of the warrant obligations as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was KUSD 378 and KUSD 995, respectively. The decrease in fair value of the warrant obligation from December 31, 2022 to June 30, 2023 was primarily due to the decrease in the fair value of the underlying shares during that period, which was recorded directly to Non-operating (expense) income in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of operations. See note 8, "Other income (expense)" for further information.

The Company used an independent valuation firm to assist in calculating the fair value of the warrant obligations, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Key inputs for the valuation of the warrant obligations as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows:

Senior Secured Term Loan

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded interest expense on the senior secured term loan in the amount of KUSD 4,480 and KUSD 9,020, respectively, which was recorded in Financial expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of operations. The EIR at June 30, 2023 was 16.79%. The carrying value of the senior secured term loan was USD 111.2 million as of June 30, 2023, of which USD 13.9 million and USD 97.4 million represented the short-term and long-term portion of the liability, respectively.
Pursuant to this Loan Agreement, the Company is subject to a covenant that requires it to maintain a balance at the end of each quarter of at least USD 60.0 million in cash and cash equivalents that are included on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim balance sheet plus an amount equal to any accounts payable that remain unpaid more than ninety days after the date of the original invoice. As of June 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with this covenant.
Convertible loans
On April 24, 2020, the Company entered into a USD 115.0 million Facility Agreement with Deerfield, pursuant to which Deerfield extended a tranche of USD 65.0 million of convertible loans on May 19, 2020 upon completion of the Company’s initial public offering (the “Deerfield First Tranche”) and a tranche of USD 50.0 million of convertible loans on May 17, 2021 after the receipt of regulatory approval for ZYNLONTA (the “Deerfield Second Tranche”).

On August 15, 2022, pursuant to an exchange agreement with Deerfield, Deerfield exchanged USD 115.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's senior secured convertible notes for warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,412,840 common shares, an aggregate of 2,390,297 common shares and cash equal to USD 117.3 million.

As a result of the exchange agreement on August 15, 2022, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of USD 42.1 million, which primarily consists of the difference between the aggregate principal amount and carrying value of the convertible loans, exit fee, as well as the unpaid interest payments through the maturity date.
Embedded conversion option derivatives

Prior to the exchange, the Company accounted for the Facility agreement as a loan and embedded conversion option features. The embedded conversion option derivative was marked-to-market while the loan was measured at its amortized cost on a quarterly basis.

The following table summarizes the changes in fair value income of the embedded conversion option derivatives during the three and six months June 30, 2022:

Deerfield First Tranche 8,860 18,378 
Deerfield Second Tranche - after FDA approval5,595 11,932 
Total14,455 30,310 

The decrease in fair value of the embedded derivatives was primarily due to a decrease in the fair value of the underlying shares during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. These amounts were charged directly to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statements of operations. See note 8, “Other income (expense)” for further information.

The Company used an independent valuation firm to assist in calculating the fair value of the Deerfield First Tranche and Deerfield Second Tranche of the embedded conversion option derivatives, which is based on the mean of values derived from application of the Hull and Goldman Sachs convertible bond pricing models. Key inputs for the valuations as of June 30, 2022 was as follows:

Deerfield Warrants Deerfield warrants
Pursuant to the exchange agreement with Deerfield entered into on August 15, 2022, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,412,840 common shares. The warrants consist of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,631,578 common shares at an exercise price of USD 24.70 per share and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,781,262 common shares at an exercise price of USD 28.07 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 May 19, 2025. The warrants contain customary anti-dilution adjustments and entitle holders to receive any dividends or other distributions paid on the underlying common shares prior to their expiration on an as-exercised basis. Each holder also may require the Company to repurchase the warrants for their Black Scholes-based fair value in connection with certain transformative transactions or change of control of the Company that occur prior to their expiration.

The terms of the warrants are reflective of the terms of the embedded conversion option features of the Deerfield Facility Agreement prior to the Exchange Agreement. As a result, the fair value of the warrants was determined to approximate the fair value of the existing embedded conversion option features immediately prior to the consummation of the Exchange Agreement. As such, the warrant obligation was recorded at an initial fair value of KUSD 12,297 on August 15, 2022. Subsequent to issuance, the warrant obligation will be remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized income of KUSD 20 and 636, respectively, as a result of changes in the fair value of the warrant obligation. The fair value of the warrant obligation as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was KUSD 157 and KUSD 793, respectively. The decrease in fair value of the warrant obligation from December 31, 2022 to June 30, 2023 was primarily due to the decrease in the fair value of the underlying shares during that period. These amounts were recorded to Non-operating (expense) income in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of operations. See note 8, "Other income (expense)" for further information.

Equity Incentive Plan 2019
In November 2019, the Company adopted the Equity Incentive Plan 2019. Under the Equity Incentive Plan 2019, 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 restricted share units (“RSUs”), share options, share appreciation rights, performance awards and other share-based awards. The Company has reserved 17,741,355 common shares for future issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan 2019 (including share-based equity awards granted to date less awards forfeited). As of June 30, 2023, the Company had 2,564,140 common shares available for the future issuance of share-based equity awards. On March 22, 2023, the Company issued its annual equity award, which was approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and consisted of 2,026,341 share options and 538,175 RSUs. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has only granted share options, RSUs and performance awards under the Equity Incentive Plan 2019.
As of June 30, 2023, the cumulative amount recorded as an increase to Other Reserves within equity in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim balance sheet of the Equity Incentive Plan 2019 was KUSD 154,088. The amount of expense for all awards recognized for services received during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 were KUSD 1,010 and KUSD 8,987, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were KUSD 13,818 and KUSD 27,728, respectively. An amount of KUSD 512 was withheld for tax charges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Equity Exchange Program

On March 6, 2023, the Company commenced a tender offer with employees to exchange some or all of their eligible stock options based on a pre-determined exchange ratio for new options as detailed in our Schedule TO filed March 6, 2023 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Exchange Offer”), to, among other things, further align employee incentives with the current market conditions. The Exchange Offer expired on April 3, 2023 and new options were granted on April 4, 2023. Employees holding stock options to purchase 2.2 million common shares, with exercise prices ranging from USD 8.12 per share to USD 48.77 per share, participated in the Exchange Offer, and 0.9 million new options were granted based on the exchange ratios set forth in the Exchange Offer. The new options have an exercise price of USD 2.06 per share, which is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common shares as reported on the NYSE on April 4, 2023. The new options include additional vesting conditions. Any previously held options that were vested at the time of exchange will fully vest on April 4, 2024. With respect to any options held that were unvested at the time of grant, a portion of the new options will vest on the first anniversary date with additional portions vesting monthly thereafter until the new options are fully vested five years after the original grant date.

Under IFRS 2, the incremental compensation expense of a modified award is measured as the excess of the fair value of each award of new options granted to participants in this Exchange Offer, measured as of the date the new options are granted, over the fair value of the eligible options replaced in exchange for the new options, measured immediately prior to the replacement. The Company utilized a binomial valuation model and determined there was no incremental share-based compensation expense associated with the new options granted under this Exchange Offer. The Company will continue to recognize share-based compensation expense equal to the grant date fair value of the exchanged options.

Pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan 2019, 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 Equity Incentive Plan 2019 have been accounted for as equity-settled under IFRS 2. 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 interim statement of operations and a corresponding increase to Other Reserves within equity on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim balance sheet.
The (income) expense recognized for services received during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was KUSD (715) and KUSD 4,066, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were KUSD 8,450 and KUSD 18,965, respectively.

Awards outstanding as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, expire through 2033 and 2032, respectively. The options granted during 2023 include the Company’s annual equity award discussed above. The grant-date fair value of the options relating to the annual equity awards was USD 1.41 per share. As of June 30, 2023, 3,765,502 awards are vested and exercisable out of the total outstanding awards of 11,293,279 common shares. The weighted average strike price and weighted average remaining life for vested and exercisable awards is USD 23.97 and 6.71 years, respectively.
The fair values of the options granted under the Equity Incentive Plan 2019 were determined on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company used an independent valuation firm to assist in calculating the fair value of the award grants per participant.
The fair values of the options granted under the Equity Incentive Plan 2019 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 were determined on the date of the grant using the following assumptions:

The expected volatility was based on the Company’s historical volatility and selected volatility determined by median values observed among other comparable public companies. The award life is 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.

The fair value of the new options granted under the Equity Exchange program was estimated at the date of grant using a binomial model with the following assumptions: Share price of USD 2.06, expected volatility of 77% - 79%, expected risk-free interest rate of 3.29% - 3.31%, expected dividends of 0% and expected term was derived based on the contractual term of the options, the expected exercise behavior and expected post-vesting forfeiture rates. The Company used an independent valuation firm to assist in calculating the fair value of the new award grants per participant.
RSUs
Pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan 2019, 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 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 grants of RSUs under the Equity Incentive Plan 2019 have been accounted for as equity-settled under IFRS 2. 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 interim statement of operations and a corresponding increase to Other Reserves within equity on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim balance sheet.
The expense recognized for services received during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was KUSD 1,725 and KUSD 4,921, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were KUSD 5,368 and KUSD 8,763, respectively.

Deferred royalty obligation

Deferred Royalty Obligation [Abstract]  
Deferred royalty obligation Deferred royalty obligation
On August 25, 2021, the Company entered into a royalty purchase agreement with HCR for up to USD 325.0 million of which the Company received gross proceeds of USD 225.0 million during 2021 and received an additional USD 75.0 million in June 2023 upon the first commercial sale of ZYNLONTA in the United Kingdom or any European Union country.
The table below provides a rollforward of the Company’s debt obligation relating to the royalty purchase agreement.

The Company recorded a liability relating to the initial gross proceeds received less transaction costs in August 2021 and increased the liability in June 2023 for the eligible amount received upon the first commercial sale of ZYNLONTA in the United Kingdom or any European Union country less transaction costs. To determine the accretion of the liability related to the deferred royalty obligation, the Company is required to estimate the total amount of future royalty payments and estimated timing of such payment to HCR based on the Company's revenue projections. Based on the Company's initial revenue projections, the Company used an independent valuation firm to assist in determining the total amount of future royalty payments and estimated timing of such payment to HCR using an option pricing Monte Carlo simulation model. The amount ultimately received by the Company will be accreted to the total amount of the royalty payments necessary to extinguish the Company’s obligation under the agreement, which will be recorded as interest expense over the life of the royalty purchase agreement. The estimate of this total interest expense resulted in an EIR of 10%. As royalty payments are made to HCR, the balance of the debt obligation will be effectively repaid over the life of the royalty purchase agreement.
Based on the Company's periodic review, the exact amount and timing of repayment is likely to be different each reporting period as compared to those estimated based on the Company's initial revenue projections. A significant increase or decrease in actual net sales of ZYNLONTA compared to the Company’s revenue projections, and regulatory approval and commercialization of Cami, as well as ZYNLONTA in other indications as well as licensing revenue could change the royalty rate and royalty cap due to HCR, which could materially impact the debt obligation as well as interest expense associated with the royalty purchase agreement. Also, the Company’s total obligation to HCR can vary depending on the achievement of the sales milestones as well as the timing of a change in control event. The Company will periodically assess the expected payments to HCR based on its underlying revenue projections and to the extent the amount or timing of such payments is materially different than its initial estimates it will record a cumulative catch-up adjustment.
Based on the Company's 2023 updated development plans, and the transaction costs related to the eligible amount received in June 2023, the Company updated the valuation model, which resulted in a cumulative catch-up adjustment of USD 5.3 million recorded as Financial expense within the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Under the cumulative catch-up method, the EIR is not revised when actual or estimated net sales differ from those estimated as of the inception of the debt obligation. Instead, the carrying amount of the debt obligation is adjusted to an amount equal to the present value of the estimated remaining future payments, discounted by using the original EIR, 10%, as of the date on which the estimate changes.

Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IAS 34 requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
In preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty included those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. There have been no material changes to the use of estimates and judgements other than those described in note 3, "Significant accounting policies."
Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition
Product Revenue

The Company generates revenue from sales of ZYNLONTA in the U.S. for the treatment of relapsed or refractory DLBCL, which was approved by the FDA on April 23, 2021 and launched shortly thereafter. 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.

On November 15, 2021, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act was enacted, which added a requirement for manufacturers of certain single-source drugs (including biologics and biosimilars) separately paid for under Medicare Part B for at least 18 months and marketed in single-dose containers or packages (known as refundable single-dose container or single-use package drugs) to provide annual refunds if those portions of the dispensed drug that are unused and discarded exceed an applicable percentage defined by statute or regulation. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (the “CMS”) finalized regulations to implement this section on November 18, 2022, and the provision went into effect on January 1, 2023.

The Company has accounted for this annual refund (“discarded drug rebate”) as a GTN sales adjustment beginning in the first quarter of 2023. The discarded drug rebate will involve significant estimates and judgment after considering factors including legal interpretations of applicable laws and regulations, historical experience with discarded volumes and processing time lags.

The Company uses information from external sources to identify the Company’s discarded volumes and estimate the discarded drug rebate. The Company’s estimates are subject to inherent limitations of estimates that rely on third-party information and reflect other limitations including lags between the date as of which third-party information is generated and the date on which the Company receives third-party information. Estimates for the discarded drug rebate are being assessed each period and adjusted as required to revise information or actual experience.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, basic and diluted loss per share are calculated on the weighted average number of shares issued and outstanding and exclude shares to be issued under the Equity Incentive Plan 2019, 2022 ESPP and the Company’s warrant agreements, as the effect of including those shares would be anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, basic and diluted loss per share are calculated on the weighted average number of shares issued and outstanding and exclude shares to be issued under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan and the conversion of the principal amount of the convertible loans into the Company’s common shares as the effect of including those shares would be anti-dilutive. See note 16, “Share-based compensation expense,” note 13, “Senior secured term loan facility and warrants,” note 15, “Deerfield warrants” and note 14, “Convertible loans” for further information.
Potentially dilutive securities that were not included in the diluted per share calculations because the effect of including them would be anti-dilutive were as follows:
