Company to host a webcast and conference call today at 9:00am EDT / 2:00pm BST

PureTech Health plc (Nasdaq: PRTC, LSE: PRTC) (“PureTech” or the “Company”) today announces its half-yearly results for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The following information will be filed on Form 6-K with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and is also available at https://investors.puretechhealth.com/financials-filings/reports.

Commenting on PureTech’s half-yearly results, Daphne Zohar, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of PureTech, said:

“The first half of 2023 has been a strong period across both our Founded Entities and Wholly Owned Pipeline. We have achieved important clinical and financial milestones, while executing on our mission of giving life to new classes of medicine to change the lives of patients with devastating diseases. Our R&D engine has produced 27 new therapeutics and therapeutic candidates, with two taken from inception at PureTech to U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European regulatory clearances and a third that is expected to be filed soon for FDA approval. We are proud that our track record of clinical success is six times greater than the industry average.²

“The maturation of our Wholly Owned Programs now gives us several pathways to realize their value as we determine the ideal path for each program’s advancement – this may be through internal development, the creation of new Founded Entities, asset sales, and/or partnering and royalty transactions – and we will be guided by the optimal route to generate value for our shareholders. We are proud that for nearly six years, including during a time that was extremely challenging to the biotech sector at large, we not only created important new medicines, but we also generated almost $800 million in cash without approaching the capital markets or diluting our shareholders. This has allowed us to focus on what we do best: recognize value in potential new medicines before anyone else sees it and unlock that value through focused experiments, relentlessly prioritizing and advancing programs with the highest probability of success.

“Our unique model and disciplined execution have provided a safe harbor through the stormy market challenges, and while we can navigate in any environment, we are also very well-positioned to benefit if the tides potentially turn in favor of the biotech sector.

“I am tremendously proud of the achievements across our Founded Entities and Wholly Owned Pipeline, and I am grateful to our skilled and dedicated team who continue to shepherd this important work forward. I look forward to another exciting period ahead and to sharing more about our progress in the coming months.”

Interim Management Report

Introduction

PureTech was founded with a mission to change the lives of patients with devastating diseases. Our R&D engine has been tremendously successful in pursuit of this goal, having generated 27 therapeutics and therapeutic candidates to date, including two (Plenity® and EndeavorRx®) that have received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance and European Marketing Authorization and a third, KarXT, that is expected to be filed soon for FDA approval. We attribute our track record of productivity and clinical success to our distinctive approach to drug development, which is underpinned by three key pillars. First, we identify an area with unmet patient need. We then identify therapeutic approaches that often have validated human efficacy but have not reached their full potential due to key limitations, such as the route of administration or side effects. Our second pillar involves applying our proprietary insights and technologies to overcome these limitations, thereby unlocking a new medicine’s benefit for patients. Our third pillar is centered on efficient de-risking, which we achieve in two ways – by building on well-defined clinical and regulatory paths and conducting “killer” experiments early on. We believe in disciplined R&D, and we quickly shut down programs that don’t reach our pre-specified thresholds for advancement. This allows us to pivot resources towards the programs with the greatest likelihood of advancement and has resulted in our success rate, which is about six times higher than the industry average.²

We are a well-capitalized organization with a unique business model that helps fuel our Wholly Owned Programs as well as maximize shareholder returns. Our Founded Entities, which are akin to partnered programs, provide a significant source of non-dilutive capital. To date, we have generated nearly $800 million from Founded Entity equity and royalty monetization events, and we have not had to raise funds at the PureTech level from the capital markets in almost six years. We’re exceedingly proud of this model and the advancements our Founded Entities have made across a range of conditions, providing value to patients and shareholders alike.

KarXT is an excellent example of how our Founded Entities are able to generate value for our shareholders, and it is a hallmark of our capital efficient approach. We allocated $18.5 million to the program, and our return on investment has been almost 50x.¹⁴ This figure does not account for the $100 million upfront we received in connection with our March 2023 announcement that Royalty Pharma acquired an interest in our 3% royalty on KarXT that provides Royalty Pharma the full amount of royalties due to us up to $2 billion in annual net sales of KarXT. Beyond that, we are entitled to up to $400 million in additional payments associated with regulatory and commercial milestones. Importantly, once KarXT achieves $2 billion in annual sales, we will retain 67% of the royalty payments, and Royalty Pharma will continue to receive 33%. We also continue to retain 2.8% equity ownership in Karuna as well as milestone payments, and we are eligible to receive 20% of sublicense income.

The same successful strategy and proven team that generated our Founded Entities have also produced our Wholly Owned Programs. We intend to evaluate the strong progress of our Wholly Owned Programs and determine the ideal path for each program’s advancement – this may be through internal development, the creation of new Founded Entities, asset sales, and/or partnering and royalty transactions – and we will be guided by the optimal route to generate value for our shareholders. Having the flexibility to advance programs to an inflection point before determining the most expedient and cost-effective path forward is a hallmark of our model, and it allows us to continue to nominate new candidates for advancement without compromising ongoing development efforts.

As we realize that value and as we share program development costs with partners, we expect to be in a position to evaluate returning additional capital to our shareholders, beyond the current $50 million stock buyback program. We have many options available to us, and we are committed to maximizing shareholder returns while we also make a difference for patients. We will be engaging with our shareholders in the coming weeks for feedback, and the Board will also consider factors including market conditions and PureTech’s ongoing cash requirements as we explore the exciting paths forward.

Notable Developments

Wholly Owned Programs

In the first half of 2023 we have continued to strengthen and grow our Wholly Owned Programs, which are based on a strategy of leveraging validated efficacy to rapidly advance therapeutics with proven profiles. This approach is designed to preserve the pharmacology of efficacious drugs while maximizing their unrealized potential to meet significant patient needs.

Our most advanced clinical-stage therapeutic candidate, LYT-100 (deupirfenidone), is currently in development for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), which is a rare, progressive and fatal lung disease with a median survival of 2-5 years.¹⁵ Pirfenidone is one of only two drugs approved to treat IPF, and it has been shown to improve survival by approximately three years compared to supportive care alone.¹⁵ However, tolerability issues with both of the standard of care drugs result in patients discontinuing treatment or reducing their dose. As a result, nearly three out of every four people with IPF forego treatment with these otherwise efficacious medicines.¹⁶ LYT-100 is a deuterated form of pirfenidone and is designed to retain the beneficial pharmacology and clinically-validated efficacy of pirfenidone with a highly differentiated pharmacokinetic profile that has translated into favorable tolerability in multiple clinical studies and has the potential to keep patients on treatment longer to enable more optimal disease management. LYT-100 has also demonstrated that it can be safely dosed with a higher total drug exposure than the currently approved dose of pirfenidone, which could translate into improved efficacy over pirfenidone. With this profile, we believe LYT-100 has the potential both to supplant the current standard of care treatments and to serve a larger market of patients who are unable to tolerate current therapies.

The first of two potentially registration-enabling studies for LYT-100 is underway, with topline results from the Phase 2b trial expected in 2024. This is a global trial designed to evaluate the efficacy, tolerability, safety and dosing regimen of LYT-100 against placebo. The trial will also assess the relative efficacy of two doses of LYT-100, one with comparable exposure to the approved dose of pirfenidone and one with a higher level of exposure that has the potential for improved efficacy. This is part of a streamlined development program using the same endpoints that have supported past approvals. Pending positive clinical and regulatory feedback, we believe the results of the Phase 2b clinical trial, together with a Phase 3 clinical trial, could serve as the basis for registration in the U.S.

The unique profile of LYT-100 has the potential for therapeutic benefit in other indications beyond IPF. We are also exploring LYT-100 in progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases, a group of lung diseases closely related to IPF, as well as other fibrotic conditions where there is human data with pirfenidone suggestive of clinical benefit. We are also developing LYT-100 for medical countermeasures under the FDA Animal Rule, which allows for the approval of drugs based on well-controlled animal models when human efficacy studies are not feasible.¹⁷ PureTech may be eligible to receive a priority review voucher from the FDA for a medical countermeasure application upon approval.

We have also seen significant progress this year with our second clinical-stage therapeutic candidate, LYT-300 (oral allopregnanolone). LYT-300 is an oral prodrug of allopregnanolone, developed using our Glyph^TM technology platform, which harnesses the body’s natural lipid absorption and transport process to enable the oral administration of certain therapeutics that otherwise cannot be administered orally. Lower levels of allopregnanolone have been documented in patients with mood disorders, such as depression, and there is evidence that allopregnanolone has therapeutic potential in both anxiety and depression.¹⁸ An intravenous formulation of allopregnanolone is approved by the FDA as a 60-hour infusion for the treatment of postpartum depression (PPD), though the method of administration has significant challenges and has limited the scope of clinical use for allopregnanolone. To overcome this, medicinal chemistry approaches have been applied to synthesize orally bioavailable chemical analogs of allopregnanolone. These oral analogs may have different pharmacological effects than endogenous allopregnanolone and therefore may not capture its full therapeutic potential, though one of them was recently approved in PPD. We believe our Glyph platform should enable us to retain the potency of endogenous allopregnanolone in a more convenient oral form and potentially enable us to unlock the therapeutic potential of allopregnanolone across a range of neurological and neuropsychiatric conditions.

In our Phase 1 study, oral administration of LYT-300 achieved blood levels of allopregnanolone at or above those associated with therapeutic benefit in PPD and nine times greater than orally administered allopregnanolone, based on third-party published data.¹⁹ LYT-300 also demonstrated dose-dependent target engagement with GABA_A receptors, which are known to regulate mood and other neurological conditions.

In February, we announced our plans to advance LYT-300 for the potential treatment of anxiety disorders and depression, and in June, we initiated a Phase 2a proof-of-concept trial in healthy volunteers using a validated clinical model of anxiety, with results expected by the end of 2023. These results, alongside our Phase 1 data, will inform potential future development plans in additional indications, and we are in the process of prioritizing which additional indications to pursue with regard to mood disorders. In light of the two approved PPD treatments on the market, we believe that other depression-related indications have greater patient needs and will therefore be higher priority for us. Additionally, in the August 2023 post-period, we announced a grant of up to $11.4 million from the U.S. Department of Defense to advance LYT-300 for the treatment of Fragile X-associated Tremor/ Ataxia Syndrome (FXTAS), a devastating neurological condition. The funds will support a Phase 2 trial of LYT-300 in collaboration with the University of California, Davis.

Last year we announced another candidate developed from our Glyph platform, LYT-310 (oral cannabidiol [CBD]), which is being advanced for the potential treatment of epilepsies and other neurological indications. A CBD-based product has already received regulatory approval in the U.S. and Europe to treat seizures related to certain rare conditions, but it requires a large volume of a sesame oil-based formulation, which limits its use in broader applications and age groups. Side effects of this approved product can include nausea, stomach pain, sleepiness and mood changes, all of which impact a patient’s quality of life. This presents an opportunity for LYT-310 to expand the therapeutic application of CBD across a much wider range of age groups and indications, most notably given its oral dosing, streamlined manufacturing process and potential to reduce the gastrointestinal (GI) side effects and liver toxicity associated with the current CBD-based treatment. We expect to initiate a Phase 1 clinical trial of LYT-310 in the fourth quarter of 2023.

We have also generated multiple additional programs from our Glyph platform centered around validated efficacy in central nervous system indications. We look forward to sharing more about those programs and the potential expansion of our pipeline in due course.

Development of LYT-200 (anti-galectin-9 mAb) has also progressed in the first half. LYT-200 is being developed for the treatment of metastatic/locally advanced solid tumors, including urothelial and head and neck cancers, as well as for the treatment of hematological malignancies, such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It is a fully human IgG4 monoclonal antibody designed to inhibit the activity of galectin-9, an immunomodulatory molecule expressed by tumors and immune cells and shown to suppress the immune system from recognizing and destroying cancer cells. In the first half of 2023, we initiated a Phase 1b clinical trial of LYT-200 in combination with tislelizumab in urothelial and head and neck cancers, and topline results are expected in 2024. In late 2022, we also initiated a Phase 1b clinical trial to evaluate LYT-200 as a single agent for the treatment of AML, and we anticipate initial results from a subset of patients by the end of 2023.

Founded Entities

Our Founded Entities have had a productive 2023 so far, with significant commercial and clinical momentum.

Karuna made progress towards delivering transformative medicines for people living with psychiatric and neurological conditions, including schizophrenia and psychosis in Alzheimer’s disease. In March 2023, Karuna announced positive topline results from the Phase 3 EMERGENT-3 trial evaluating the efficacy, safety and tolerability of KarXT in adults with schizophrenia. The trial met its primary endpoint, with KarXT demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful 8.4-point reduction in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score compared to placebo (-20.6 KarXT vs. -12.2 placebo; p<0.0001) at Week 5 (Cohen’s d effect size of 0.60). Consistent with prior trials, KarXT demonstrated an early and sustained statistically significant reduction of symptoms from Week 2 (p<0.05) through the end of the trial as assessed by PANSS total score. KarXT also demonstrated reductions in positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia as measured by PANSS positive and PANSS negative Marder factor subscales. KarXT was generally well tolerated, with a side effect profile substantially consistent with previous trials of KarXT in schizophrenia. Karuna plans to file KarXT for FDA approval in schizophrenia in the third quarter of 2023, with a launch in the second half of 2024, if approved. Karuna also expects to initiate its second Phase 3 trial in psychosis in Alzheimer’s disease, ADEPT-2, in the second half of 2023.

Akili also made significant progress in the development of their cognitive treatments through game-changing technologies. In January 2023, Akili announced topline results from STARS-ADHD-Adolescents, its pivotal trial of EndeavorRx (AKL-T01) in adolescents aged 13-17 years old with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The study showed robust improvements in attention and broader clinical outcomes, including attention improvements that were nearly three times as large as those seen in Akili’s pivotal trial that served as the basis for FDA authorization of EndeavorRx for children with ADHD aged 8-12 years old. In May 2023, Akili submitted data from this new trial to the FDA to expand its current EndeavorRx label to include adolescents.

Also in May 2023, Akili shared topline results of the STARS-ADHD-Adult clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of EndeavorRx in adults with ADHD. The trial demonstrated statistically significant improvement in attention functioning after six weeks of treatment, achieving its predefined primary efficacy outcome. In June, Akili announced the release of EndeavorOTC^TM without a prescription for adults 18 years and older. Akili expects to submit its adult clinical trial data to the FDA to pursue marketing authorization for EndeavorOTC to be made available without a prescription as a treatment for adults with ADHD in the second half of 2023. Akili also expects data in the second half of 2023 from Shionogi’s pivotal trial of SDT-001 in children aged 6-17 years old with ADHD in Japan.

Gelesis’ product for weight management, Plenity, has helped over 200,000 people with their weight loss journeys and generated more than $40 million in revenue since launch. Earlier this year, the company announced that it had filed an initial 510(k) application with the FDA to change the classification of Plenity from prescription-only to be available without a prescription. Gelesis anticipates the FDA’s decision on its 510(k) submission by the first quarter of 2024. The company has stated that it believes this shift would double Plenity’s addressable market, should significantly reduce the company’s customer acquisition costs, and could open up new, broader partnership opportunities. While the obesity treatment landscape is rapidly evolving, there still remain major gaps for patients, providers and payers alike, including affordability, tolerability and rebound effect, that the company believes Plenity is well-positioned to uniquely address.

In June 2023, Gelesis presented data at the American Diabetes Association’s annual conference showing the real-world effectiveness of Plenity across 984 patients. Consistent with clinical studies, responders demonstrated clinically significant weight loss at 6 months. Also in June, PureTech and Gelesis entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger to purchase all of the outstanding stock of Gelesis and take the company private. The closing of this transaction is contingent on, among other things, Gelesis receiving shareholder approval for the transaction and the satisfaction of various closing conditions.

Vedanta also progressed the development of a potential new category of oral therapies based on defined consortia of bacteria isolated from the human microbiome and grown from pure clonal cell banks. In April 2023, Vedanta announced a $106.5 million financing to advance its pipeline of defined bacterial consortia therapies. In May 2023, Vedanta announced the U.S. FDA granted Fast Track designation to VE303 for the prevention of recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection.

Vor has continued to progress the development of its novel platform for engineering Hematopoietic Stem Cell (HSCs) to enable targeted therapies post-transplant. In June 2023, Vor announced five patients transplanted with trem-cel (VOR33) achieved primary neutrophil engraftment and high levels of myeloid donor chimerism. In the August 2023 post-period, Vor announced that the FDA cleared its Investigational New Drug application for VCAR33^ALLO, a T-cell therapy derived from allogeneic healthy donors using a chimeric antigen receptor specifically binding to CD33. Also in the August 2023 post-period, Vor announced that the company has secured a worldwide non-exclusive license from Editas Medicine for ex-vivo Cas9 gene-edited HSC therapies for the treatment and/or prevention of hematological malignancies. The license provides access to key intellectual property for the continued development and potential commercialization of edited HSCs including trem-cel.

Sonde has continued to develop a voice-based artificial intelligence platform that detects changes in the sound of voice that are linked to health conditions – like depression, anxiety and respiratory disease – to provide health tracking and monitoring.

Entrega has continued to advance its platform for the oral administration of biologics, vaccines and other drugs that are otherwise not efficiently absorbed when taken orally. Entrega’s technology platform uses a proprietary, customizable hydrogel dosage form to control local fluid microenvironments in the GI tract in an effort to both enhance absorption and reduce the variability of drug exposure. Peptide therapeutics (e.g., the emerging GLP-1 agonist class) are ideally suited to benefit from Entrega’s approach.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements also comply fully with IAS 34 as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). This report should be read in conjunction with the Group’s 2022 Annual Reports and Accounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The following discussion contains references to the Consolidated Financial Statements of PureTech Health plc, or the Company, and its consolidated subsidiaries, together the Group. These financial statements consolidate the Company’s subsidiaries and include the Company’s interest in associates, by way of equity method, as well as investments held at fair value. Subsidiaries are those entities over which the Company maintains control. Associates are those entities in which the Company does not have control for financial accounting purposes but maintains significant influence over financial and operating policies. Where the Company has neither control nor significant influence for financial accounting purposes, or when the investment in associates is not in instruments that would be considered equity for accounting purposes, we recognize our holdings in such entity as an investment at fair value with changes in fair value being recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income/(Loss). For purposes of our Consolidated Financial Statements, each of our Founded Entities are considered to be either a “subsidiary", an “associate” or an "investment held at fair value" depending on whether PureTech Health plc controls or maintains significant influence over the financial and operating policies of the respective entity at the respective period end date, and depending on the form of the investment. For additional information regarding the accounting treatment of these entities, see Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in our 2022 Annual Report and Accounts. For additional information regarding our operating structure, see “Basis of Presentation and Consolidation” below.

Business Background and Results Overview

The business background is discussed above in the Interim Management Report, which describes the business development of our Wholly Owned Programs and Founded Entities.

Our ability to generate product revenue sufficient to achieve profitability will depend heavily on the successful development and eventual commercialization of one or more of our wholly-owned or Controlled Founded Entities’ therapeutic candidates, which may or may not occur. Our Founded Entities, Gelesis, Inc. ("Gelesis"), and Akili Interactive Labs, Inc. ("Akili"), which we have not controlled since 2019 and 2018, respectively, have therapeutics cleared for sale, but our Wholly Owned Programs have not yet generated revenue from product sales, to date. However, we did generate significant cash from the sale of shares of our public Founded Entities and from the sale of an interest in Karuna future royalties.

We deconsolidated a number of our Founded Entities, specifically Vedanta Biosciences, Inc. ("Vedanta") in March 2023, Sonde Health Inc. ("Sonde") in May 2022, Karuna Therapeutics, Inc. ("Karuna"), Vor Biopharma Inc. ("Vor") and Gelesis in 2019, and Akili in 2018.

Any deconsolidation affects our financials in the following manner:

• our ownership interest does not provide us with a controlling financial interest;
• we no longer control the Founded Entity's assets and liabilities and as a result we derecognize the assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests related to the Founded Entity from our Consolidated Statements of Financial Position;
• we record our retained investment in the Founded Entity at fair value; and
• the resulting amount of any gain or loss is recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income/(Loss).

We anticipate our expenses to continue to increase proportionally in connection with our ongoing development activities related mostly to the advancement into late-stage studies of the clinical programs within our Wholly Owned Pipeline. We also expect that our expenses and capital requirements will increase in the near to mid-term as we:

• continue our research and development efforts;
• seek regulatory approvals for any therapeutic candidates that successfully complete clinical trials; and
• add clinical, scientific, operational financial and management information systems and personnel, including personnel to support our therapeutic development and potential future commercialization claims.

More specifically, our internal research and development spend will increase in the foreseeable future as we may initiate additional clinical studies for LYT-100, LYT-200 and LYT-300, and progress additional therapeutic candidates into the clinic, such as LYT-310, as well as advance our technology platforms.

In addition, with respect to our Founded Entities’ programs, we anticipate that we will continue to fund a small portion of development costs by strategically participating in such companies’ financings when we believe participation in such financings is in the best interests of our shareholders. The form of any such participation may include investment in public or private financings, collaboration, partnership arrangements, and/or licensing arrangements, among others. Our management and strategic decision makers consider the future funding needs of our Founded Entities and evaluate the needs and opportunities for returns with respect to each of these Founded Entities routinely and on a case-by-case basis.

As a result, we may need substantial additional funding in the future, following the period described below in the Funding Requirement section, to support our continuing operations and pursue our growth strategy until such time as we can generate sufficient revenue from product sales to support our operations, if ever. Until such time we expect to finance our operations through a combination of monetization of our interests in our Founded Entities, collaborations with third parties, or other sources. We may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other agreements or arrangements when needed on favorable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise capital or enter into such agreements, as and when needed, we may have to delay, scale back or discontinue the development and commercialization of one or more of our wholly-owned therapeutic candidates.

Measuring Performance

The Financial Review discusses our operating and financial performance, our cash flows and liquidity as well as our financial position and our resources. The results for each period are compared primarily with the results of the comparative period in the prior year.

Reported Performance

Reported performance considers all factors that have affected the results of our business, as reflected in our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Core Performance

Core performance measures are alternative performance measures (APM) which are adjusted and non-IFRS measures. These measures cannot be derived directly from our Consolidated Financial Statements. We believe that these non-IFRS performance measures, when provided in combination with reported performance, will provide investors, analysts and other stakeholders with helpful complementary information to better understand our financial performance and our financial position from period to period. The measures are also used by management for planning and reporting purposes. The measures are not substitutable for IFRS financial information and should not be considered superior to financial information presented in accordance with IFRS.

Recent Developments (subsequent to June 30, 2023)

The Company has evaluated subsequent events after June 30, 2023, up to the date of issuance, August 29, 2023, of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and has not identified any recordable or disclosable events not otherwise reported in these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or notes thereto.

Financial Highlights

The following is the reconciliation of the amounts appearing in our Statement of Financial Position to the Alternative Performance Measure described above:

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Information consolidates the financial information of PureTech Health plc, as well as its subsidiaries, and includes our interest in associates and investments held at fair value, and is reported in multiple operating segments as described below.

Basis for Segmentation

Our Directors are our strategic decision-makers. Our operating segments are based on the financial information provided to our Directors periodically for the purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. We have determined that each consolidated Founded Entity is representative of a single operating segment as our Directors monitor the financial results at this level. When identifying the reportable segments, we have determined that it is appropriate to aggregate multiple operating segments into a single reportable segment given the high level of operational and financial similarities across the entities. We have identified multiple reportable segments, as presented below. Substantially all of our revenue and profit generating activities are generated within the United States and, accordingly, no geographical disclosures are provided.

There was no change to reportable segments in 2023, except for the transfer of Vedanta to the Non-Controlled Founded Entities segment due to the deconsolidation of Vedanta on March 1, 2023.

The Non-Controlled Founded Entities segment is comprised of the entities in respect of which PureTech Health (i) no longer holds majority voting control as a shareholder or (ii) no longer has the right to elect a majority of the members of the subsidiaries’ Board of Directors. Upon deconsolidation of an entity, the segment disclosure is restated to reflect the change on a retrospective basis, as this constitutes a change in the composition of reportable segments.

As of June 30, 2023, the Non-Controlled Founded Entities segment includes Vedanta, which was deconsolidated on March 1, 2023 and for comparative periods it includes Vedanta and Sonde which was deconsolidated on May 25, 2022. Segment results incorporate the operational results of Vedanta and Sonde to the dates of deconsolidation. Following the dates of deconsolidation, the Company accounts for its investments in Vedanta and in Sonde at the parent level, and therefore the results associated with investment activity following the dates of deconsolidation are included in the Parent Company and Other section.

The Company has revised in these financial statements the prior year financial information to conform to the presentation as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to include Vedanta in the Non-Controlled Founded Entities segment. The change in segments reflects how the Company’s Board of Directors reviews the Group’s results, allocates resources and assesses performance of the Group at this time.

Results of Operations

The following table, which has been derived from our unaudited financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, included herein, summarizes our results of operations for the periods indicated, together with the changes in those items in dollars:

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

Our total revenue was $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $3.9 million, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in Grant Revenue, mainly due to the Non-Controlled Founded Entities segment as a result of the partial-period reporting by Vedanta due to their deconsolidation.

Our research and development expenses were $53.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $31.4 million, or 37.2 percent compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The change was primarily attributable to a decrease of $15.6 million in research and development expenses incurred by the Internal Segment due to prioritization of research and development projects in the internal segment, whereby the Company elected to focus on programs where it believes it has the highest probability of success and reduce efforts, or cease to invest, in research and clinical stage projects where such probability of success is lower. In addition there was a decrease in contract manufacturing expenses in 2023 due to the ramp up of clinical manufacturing efforts in the prior period in 2022 prior to the start of new clinical studies. The decrease in research and development expenses was also attributable to a decrease of $15.1 million in the Non-Controlled Founded Entities due to the partial period reporting by Vedanta as a result of its deconsolidation (two months in 2023 vs. six months in the corresponding period in 2022).

Our general and administrative expenses were $26.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $2.5 million, or 10.7 percent compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The change was attributable to increases of $5.1 million in Parent Company and other and $3.2 million in the Internal Segment, partially offset by a decrease of $5.1 million in the Non-Controlled Founded Entities segment and a decrease of $0.7 million in the Controlled Founded Entities segment. The increase in the Parent Company and Other was primarily driven by a $4.1 million increase in employee compensation expense due to increase in headcount and adjustments to compensation due to inflation, including an increase in stock based compensation expense of $2.0 million, as well as a $3.9 million increase in consulting and professional fees, partially offset by a $2.6 million increase in management fees allocated to the other segments. The increase in the Internal Segment was primarily driven by a $2.7 million increase in management fees charged by the Parent Company. The decrease in the Non-Controlled Founded Entities segment was primarily attributable to the partial period reporting by Vedanta as a result of its deconsolidation (two months in 2023 vs. six months in the corresponding period in 2022). The decrease in the Controlled Founded Entities segment was attributable to a $0.5 million decrease in stock based compensation expense.

Total Other Income (Loss)

Total Other Income was $62.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to a loss of $24.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, reflecting a change of $86.6 million. The increase in income was primarily attributable to a gain from investments held at fair value of $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to a loss of $59.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, reflecting an increase in other income of $66.8 million. In addition, the increase in income was also attributable to a gain from deconsolidation of Vedanta of $61.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to a gain from deconsolidation of Sonde of $27.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, reflecting an increase in other income of $34.5 million. These increases were partially offset by a loss from investments in notes from associates of $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 while there was no such loss in the six months ended June 30, 2022 as well as a decrease in other income of $8.8 million. The net gain from investments held at fair value for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily attributed to our holdings in Karuna (see Note 3 in our condensed consolidated financial statements for further details).

Finance Income (Costs)

Net finance income was $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to net finance income of $56.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, reflecting a change of $51.0 million in Net finance Income (costs). The change was primarily attributable to the fact that during the six months ended June 30, 2023 net change in fair value of subsidiaries' financial instrument liabilities was an income of $2.6 million, while for the six months ended June 30, 2022 such change was a gain of $57.7 million, primarily related to change in fair value of Vedanta preferred share liabilities, leading to decreased income of $55.0 million. To a lesser extent the decrease in income was attributable to the non-cash interest expense related to sale of future royalties of $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, while no such expense existed for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This decrease in income was partially offset by an increase in interest income from financial assets of $7.1 million, and to a lesser extent a decrease of $0.6 million in interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Share of Net Income/(loss) of Associates accounted for using the equity method and Gain on Dilution of Interest in Associate

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the share in net loss of associates reported under the equity method was $5.3 million as compared to the share in net loss of $15.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The change was primarily attributable to a decrease in Gelesis losses due to decreased activity in the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the losses reported for the six months ended June 30, 2022. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, PureTech recorded a gain on dilution of its equity ownership interest in Gelesis of $28.4 million as a result of the completion of the merger with CapStar on January 13, 2022.

Taxation

Income tax expense was an expense of $11.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to a benefit of $32.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, reflecting an increase in expense of $44.3 million. The increase in the income tax expense was primarily attributable to the tax in respect of the sale of future royalties to Royalty Pharma (See note 11 for further detail) and to a lower pre-tax loss in the tax consolidated US group.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with UK-adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements also comply fully with IAS 34 as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). In the preparation of these financial statements, we are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our estimates and 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 revisions and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The accounting policies most critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements have not changed since our 2022 Annual Report, except for the accounting policy for our sale of future royalties liability. For further detail see Note 1 of the accompanying notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Cash Flow and Liquidity

Our cash flows may fluctuate and are difficult to forecast and will depend on many factors, including:

• the expenses incurred in the development of wholly-owned and Controlled Founded Entity therapeutic candidates;
• the revenue, if any, generated by wholly-owned and Controlled-Founded Entity therapeutic candidates;
• the revenue, if any, generated from licensing and royalty agreements with Founded Entities;
• the financing requirements of the Internal segment, Controlled-Founded Entities segment and Parent segment; and
• the investing activities related to the Internal, Controlled-Founded Entities and Parent segments, including the monetization, through sale, of shares held in our public Founded Entities.

As of June 30, 2023, we had consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $350.5 million and PureTech Level cash and cash equivalents of $348.5 million. PureTech Level cash and cash equivalents is a non-IFRS measure (for a definition of PureTech Level cash and cash equivalents and a reconciliation to the IFRS number, see the section Measuring Performance earlier in this Financial review).

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows for each of the periods presented:

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $65.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $87.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, resulting in a decrease of $22.1 million in net cash used in operating activities. The decrease in outflows is primarily attributable to our lower operating loss, mainly due to a decrease in research and development activities in the Internal Segment, and to a decrease of operating cash flows in the Non-Controlled Founded Entities segment as a result of Vedanta's deconsolidation.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $173.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, resulting in an increase of $180.8 million in net cash resulting from investing activities. The increase in the net cash resulting from investing activities was primarily attributed to the proceeds received from the maturity of short-term investments of $202.5 million, partially offset by the investment in notes from associates of $15.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $91.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, resulting in an increase of $97.6 million in the net cash resulting from financing activities. The increase in the net cash resulting from financing activities was primarily attributable to cash received in respect of the sale of future Karuna royalties (see Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) in the amount of $100.0 million, partially offset by an increase of $3.0 million in the amount of treasury shares repurchased per the share repurchase program during six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Funding Requirements

We have incurred operating losses since inception. Based on our current plans, we believe our existing financial assets at June 30, 2023 will be sufficient to fund our operations and capital expenditure requirements into the first quarter of 2026. We expect to incur substantial additional expenditures in the near term to support our ongoing activities. We anticipate to continue to incur net operating losses for the foreseeable future as is typical for pre-revenue biotechnology companies. Our ability to fund our therapeutic development and clinical operations as well as commercialization of our wholly-owned therapeutic candidates, will depend on the amount and timing of cash received from planned financings, monetization of shares of public Founded Entities and potential business development activities. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

• the costs, timing and outcomes of clinical trials and regulatory reviews associated with our wholly-owned therapeutic candidates;
• the costs of commercialization activities, including product marketing, sales and distribution;
• the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications and maintaining, enforcing and defending intellectual property-related claims;
• the emergence of competing technologies and products and other adverse marketing developments;
• the effect on our therapeutic and product development activities of actions taken by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) or other regulatory authorities;
• our degree of success in commercializing our wholly-owned therapeutic candidates, if and when approved; and
• the number and types of future therapeutics we develop and commercialize.

A change in the outcome of any of these or other variables with respect to the development of any of our wholly-owned therapeutic candidates could significantly change the costs and timing associated with the development of that therapeutic candidate.

Further, our operating plans may change, and we may need additional funds to meet operational needs and capital requirements for clinical trials and other research and development activities. We currently have no credit facility or other committed sources of capital beyond our existing financial assets. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development and commercialization of our wholly-owned therapeutic candidates, we have only a general estimate of the amounts of capital outlays and operating expenditures associated with our current and anticipated therapeutic development programs and these may change in the future.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. General information

Description of Business

PureTech Health plc (“PureTech,” the “Parent” or the “Company”) is a public company incorporated, domiciled and registered in the United Kingdom (“UK”). The registered number is 09582467 and the registered address is 8th Floor, 20 Farringdon Street, London EC4A 3AE, United Kingdom.

PureTech is a biotherapeutics company dedicated to changing the treatment paradigm for devastating diseases.

PureTech’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“interim financial statements”) consolidate those of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”).

The accounting policies applied consistently to all periods presented in these half-yearly Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its Consolidated Financial Statements in its 2022 Annual Report and Accounts.

Basis of accounting

These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted for use in the UK and also comply fully with IAS 34 as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information required for a complete set of IFRS financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group’s financial position and performance since the last annual consolidated financial information included in the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended December 31, 2022, which was prepared in accordance with UK-adopted International Financial Reporting Standards and also complied fully with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB. Certain amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes may not add due to rounding. All percentages have been calculated using unrounded amounts.

These condensed consolidated half-yearly financial statements do not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 435 of the Companies Act 2006. The comparative figures for the six months ended June 30, 2022 are not the Group’s statutory accounts for that financial year. Those accounts were reported upon by the Group’s auditors and delivered to the registrar of companies. The report of the auditors was unqualified, did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report and did not contain statements under Section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.

The unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

As of June 30, 2023 the Group had cash and cash equivalents of $350.5 million. Considering the Group’s financial position as of June 30, 2023 and its principal risks and opportunities, a going concern analysis has been prepared for at least the twelve-month period from the date of signing the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements ("the going concern period") utilizing realistic scenarios and applying a severe but plausible downside scenario. Even under the downside scenario, the analysis demonstrates the Group continues to maintain sufficient liquidity headroom and continues to comply with all financial obligations. Therefore, the Directors believe the Group is adequately resourced to continue in operational existence for at least the twelve-month period from the date of signing the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Accordingly, the Directors considered it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

These condensed financial statements were authorized for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on August 29, 2023.

Significant Accounting policies

There have been no significant changes in the Group’s accounting policies from those disclosed in our Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, except for the accounting policy in respect of the Sale of Future Royalties liability detailed below. The significant accounting policies we use for half-year financial reporting are disclosed in Note 1, Accounting policies of the accompanying notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2022 Annual Report and Accounts.

Sale of Future Royalties Liability

The Group accounts for the sale of future royalties liability as a financial liability, as it continues to hold the rights under the royalty bearing licensing agreement and has a contractual obligation to deliver cash to an investor for a portion of the royalty it receives. Interest on the sale of future royalties liability will be recognized using the effective interest rate over the life of the related royalty stream.

The sale of future royalties liability and the related interest expense are based on the Group’s current estimates of future royalties expected to be paid over the life of the arrangement. Forecasts are updated periodically as new data is obtained. Any increases, decreases or a shift in timing of estimated cash flows require the Group to re-calculate the amortized cost of the sale of future royalties liability as the present value of the estimated future contractual cash flows that are discounted at the liability’s original effective interest rate. The adjustment is recognized immediately in profit or loss as income or expense.

For details on significant judgments that were applied to determine if we have control over an investee, see Note 4.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

There have been no recent new accounting standards that have had an impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

New Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Adopted

A number of new standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards are effective for annual periods commencing on or after January 1, 2024. None of the new standards, interpretations, and amendments are applicable to the Company’s financial statements and therefore will not have an impact on the Company.

2. Segment Information

The Group has identified multiple reportable segments as presented below. There was no change to reportable segments in 2023, except for the transfer of Vedanta Biosciences, Inc. (Vedanta) to the Non-Controlled Founded Entities segment due to the deconsolidation of Vedanta on March 1, 2023. See Note 3 for more detail on Vedanta's deconsolidation.

The Non-Controlled Founded Entities segment includes Vedanta, which was deconsolidated on March 1, 2023 and for comparative periods it includes Vedanta and Sonde Health, Inc. which was deconsolidated on May 25, 2022. Segment results incorporate the operational results of Vedanta and Sonde Health, Inc. to the dates of deconsolidation. Following the dates of deconsolidation, the Company accounts for its investments in Vedanta and in Sonde Health, Inc. at the parent level, and therefore the results associated with investment activity following the dates of deconsolidation are included in the Parent Company and Other section.

The Company has revised in these financial statements the prior year financial information to conform to the presentation as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to include Vedanta in the Non-Controlled Founded Entities segment. The change in segments reflects how the Company’s Board of Directors reviews the Group’s results, allocates resources and assesses performance of the Group at this time.

Virtually all of the revenue and profit generating activities of the Group are generated within the United States and accordingly, no geographical disclosures are provided.
