Solvonis Therapeutics PLC
Unaudited interim results for the six months to 30 June 2026
Solvonis Therapeutics Plc (the "Company" or "Solvonis"), a late clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing small-molecule therapeutics for high-burden central nervous system ("CNS") disorder presents its unaudited interim results for the six months to 30 June 2026.
Chairman's Statement
The first half of 2026 saw Solvonis advance its clinical and discovery programmes, strengthen its intellectual property portfolio and sharpen its strategy for delivering shareholder value.
SVN-001, our lead programme for severe Alcohol Use Disorder, remained central to that strategy. In April, the Board confirmed its intention to prioritise advancement through completion of Phase 3, reflecting our belief that successful results could create substantially greater value and strengthen our position in future strategic discussions. We retain flexibility over how best to realise that value.
In June, positive preclinical bridging data marked an important step forward for SVN-002, our esketamine oral thin-film programme for moderate-to-severe Alcohol Use Disorder in the United States. These results support the planned 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway and provide the basis for further FDA engagement ahead of a planned Phase 2b trial.
Our proprietary pipeline also progressed. We selected SVN-114 as the lead candidate for our PTSD programme, while two U.S. composition-of-matter patents covering distinct chemical series strengthened the programme's broader intellectual property estate. Positive preclinical findings supported SVN-015's expansion into depression, complementing its selection for U.S. National Institute on Drug Abuse-funded evaluation in stimulant use disorder.
Since the period end, we have announced a £1.3 million placing, including participation from a new UK institutional investor, and appointed Turner Pope as corporate broker. The funding is intended to support assessment of potential European sites for SVN-001's Phase 3 study, advancement of SVN-002 towards a U.S. IND submission and Phase 2b readiness, and continued development of SVN-015.
Further scientific progress followed. In August, NIDA selected SVN-015 for additional funded preclinical evaluation following encouraging initial cardiac ion-channel and off-target screening. In September, a European composition-of-matter patent allowance further strengthened the supporting chemistry estate around our PTSD programme.
Water Tower Research also initiated commissioned coverage in July, building on its appointment during the first half and supporting our efforts to broaden U.S. investor awareness.
Our priorities remain clear: advance SVN-001 towards its Phase 3 outcome, progress SVN-002 towards U.S. clinical development and build the value of our proprietary programmes through targeted investment. Disciplined capital allocation remains central to our approach.
On behalf of the Board, I thank our shareholders for their continued support and our team and research partners for their commitment.

SOLVONIS THERAPEUTICS PLC - CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE 6 MONTH PERIOD ENDING 30 JUNE 2026
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Solvonis Therapeutics Plc ("the Company" or "Solvonis") was incorporated in England and Wales as a limited company on 18 May 2017 under the name Graft Polymer (UK) Plc and was re-registered as a public limited company on 1 July 2021. On 10 January 2025 the Company changed its name to Solvonis Therapeutics Plc. The Company is domiciled in England and Wales with its registered office at Eccleston Yards, 25 Eccleston Place, London, SW1W 9NF. The Company's registered number is 10776788.
The principal activities of the Company and all of its subsidiaries collectively referred to as "the Group" are the development of novel small-molecule therapeutics for high-burden central nervous system ("CNS") disorders.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements ("interim financial statements") were approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 30 September 2026.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
IAS 8 requires that management shall use its judgement in developing and applying accounting policies that result in information which is relevant to the economic decision-making needs of users, that are reliable, free from bias, prudent, complete and represent faithfully the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the entity.
3. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The interim financial statements of Solvonis Therapeutics Plc for the six-month period ended 30 June 2026 have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
The interim report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2025, which was prepared in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standards (IFRS) and the Companies Act 2006, and any public announcements made by Solvonis during the interim reporting period and since.
These interim financial statements do not constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The Group's statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 prepared under IFRS have been filed with the Registrar of Companies at Companies House and the same policies adopted in these accounts have been applied in the preparation of these interim financial statements. The auditor's report on those financial statements was unqualified and did not contain a statement under Section 498(2) of the Companies Act 2006.
The functional currency for each entity in the Group is determined as the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates. The presentational currency of the Group is Pounds Sterling as this is the currency in which equity fundraising has been facilitated. The functional and presentational currency of the Company is Pounds Sterling. The subsidiary functional currencies are the Euro, the Canadian Dollar and the United States Dollar depending on which jurisdiction the respective companies are domiciled in.
The interim financial statements have been rounded to the nearest £'000.
The interim financial statements have not been audited.
The business is not considered to be seasonal in nature.
3.1 GOING CONCERN
These interim financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As disclosed in the interim financial statements, the consolidated entity incurred a net loss before taxation for the period ended 30 June 2026 from continuing operations of approximately £1,437,000 (30 June 2025: approximately £1,621,000) and had net cash outflows of approximately £1,067,000 for the period ended 30 June 2026 (30 June 2025: inflows of approximately £966,000). As at period end, the consolidated entity had net current assets of approximately £116,000 (30 June 2025: net current assets of approximately £234,000) and had cash and cash equivalents equal to approximately £659,000 (30 June 2025: approximately £1,719,000).
The Directors note that the auditors included a material uncertainty related to going concern for the year ending 31 December 2025 however post period end the Company completed a fundraise, raising £1.3m for the Company allowing it sufficient runway to continuing advancing its primary programs and meet its other financial obligations. As a result, the Directors have assessed that the Group now has sufficient working capital to execute its operations over the next 12 months. Accordingly, the Directors believe that the Group will be able to continue as a going concern and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the interim financial statements.
3.2 PRINCIPAL RISK AND UNCERTAINTIES
There has been no material change in the principal risks and uncertainties of the Group since the publication of the Group's last audited annual report for the year ending 31 December 2025 and the Directors do not expect them to change over the remaining 6 months to the next reporting date.
3.3 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of these interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period.
In preparing these interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were similar to those that applied to the financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2025 (unless specifically detailed below) with the nature and amounts of such estimates have not changed significantly during the interim period. New critical accounting estimates considered by management for the interim period were:
Recoverability of investments in subsidiary & intangible assets
During the prior year the Company acquired the Awakn Life Sciences Group ("Awakn") and has subsequently recorded an intangible asset in relation to the acquisition. This asset was assessed for impairment as part of the year end impairment review. There has been no material change in the recoverability or underlying value of the asset since the year end consequently the Directors do not consider the asset to be impaired. The recent fundraise supports the underlying value and gives the Directors confidence however the assets will be regularly monitored for signs of impairment.
Share based payments - (Note 9)
The Group issues options and warrants to its employees, directors, investors and advisors. These are valued in accordance with IFRS 2 "Share-based payments". In calculating the related charge on issuing shares and warrants the Group will use a variety of estimates and judgements in respect of inputs used including share price volatility, risk free rate, and expected life. Changes to these inputs may impact the related charge. In the period the Group did not perform any new valuations but released expenses over the vesting period to the statement of other comprehensive income from valuations in prior periods.

10. ASSET ACQUISITION
Acquisition of awakn life sciences group
On 27 May 2025, Solvonis acquired 100% of the common shares of Awakn Life Sciences Corp ("Awakn"), restricted share units of Awakn and deferred share units of Awakn pursuant to a plan of arrangement under section 288 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).
In accounting for the acquisition, the directors must ascertain whether Awakn satisfies the criteria to be classified as a business. Under IFRS 3, a business must have three elements: inputs, processes and outputs to constitute a business combination.
At acquisition Awakn and all of its subsidiaries ("collectively referred to as the "Group") were largely inactive with only a small number of underlying assets. Whilst entities within the Group did hold patents any exploitation of these patents had been halted and there the Group did not satisfy the 3 elements above to be considered a business.
Therefore, the Directors conclusion was that the transactions were asset acquisitions and not business combinations.
The details of Solvonis' acquisition of the Awakn Group are as follows:
