Daix (France), New York City (New York, United States), May 26, 2026 – Inventiva (Euronext Paris and NASDAQ: IVA) (“Inventiva” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of oral therapies for the treatment of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (“MASH”), today reported its financial information for the first quarter of 2026, including its cash, cash equivalents and revenues.
Key Financial Results
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Deposits
As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to €75.0 million and its short-term deposits2 to €121.5 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents of €99.3 million and short-term deposits of €131.6 million as of December 31, 2025. The net cash used was mainly the result of the Company’s planned operating activities related to its lanifibranor development program.
Considering its current cost structure and projected expenses, the Company estimates that its cash, cash equivalents, and short-term deposits should enable it to finance its operations until the middle of the first quarter of 20273. If the Tranche 3 warrants issued in the structured financing announced by the Company in October 2024 (the “Structured Financing”) are exercised in full for proceeds of up to €116.0 million, the Company estimates that such potential additional proceeds would enable it to finance its activities until the middle of the third quarter of 20273. There is no guarantee that the Tranche 3 warrants will be exercised in full, if at all.
