Revenues of €4.5 million in 2025
Completed a U.S. registered public offering for gross proceeds of approximately $172.5 million (€149 million³)

Daix (France), New York City (New York, United States), February 17, 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 certain preliminary unaudited financial results for the full year ending December 31, 2025, including cash, cash equivalents, and revenues.

Cash and cash equivalents

As of December 31, 2025, the Company's cash and cash equivalents amounted to €99.3 million and its short-term deposits² to €131.6 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents of €96.6 million as of December 31, 2024.

Net cash used in operating activities amounted to (€104.6) million in 2025, compared to (€85.9) million in 2024, representing an increase of 22%. R&D expenses, mainly related to the development of lanifibranor in MASH, amounted to €86.9 million in 2025, down 4% from €90.9 million in 2024. The increase in net cash used in operating activities is mainly related to the net cash impact of the strategic pipeline prioritization plan for the Company's activities implemented in the first half of 2025, lower revenues under the licensing agreement with Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. (“CTTQ”), and an increase in general and administrative expenses.

Net cash used in investing activities amounted to (€133.2) million in 2025, mainly related to the subscription of new short-term deposits² during the period, compared with €8.7 million generated in 2024.

Net cash generated by financing activities amounted to €241.1 million in 2025, compared to €145.6 million in 2024. This positive cash flow is mainly due to the receipt of (i) gross proceeds of €115.6 million (net proceeds of €108.0 million) from the second tranche⁵ in May 2025 of the structured financing announced by the Company in October 2024 (the “Structured Financing”), and (ii) gross proceeds of $172.5 million (net proceeds of €139.3 million) from the public offering in the United States in November 2025.

In 2025, the Company recorded a negative exchange rate effect on cash and cash equivalents of (€0.5) million, compared to a positive effect of €1.2 million in 2024, due to changes in the EUR/USD exchange rate.

Given 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 2027. Assuming the potential exercise in full of the Tranche 3 warrants issued in the Structured Financing 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 2027⁶.

Revenues

The Company's revenues in 2025 amounted to €4.5 million, compared to €9.2 million generated in 2024.

Revenues recorded by the Company in 2025 consist mainly of the $10 million gross proceeds (net proceeds of €8.6 million) milestone payment invoiced to CTTQ and the $5 million (€4.3 million) credit notes recognized under the license agreement with CTTQ following the closing of the second tranche of the Structured Financing in May 2025. The milestone payment from CTTQ was received in July 2025.
