GENFIT Reports Full-Year 2025 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update  

April 2, 2026 12:30 PM

Lille, France; Cambridge, MA; Zurich, Switzerland; April 2, 2026 - GENFIT (Euronext: GNFT), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to improving the lives of patients with rare and life-threatening liver diseases, today announced annual financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025 and provided a corporate update. A summary of the consolidated financial statements is included below.

Pascal Prigent, CEO of GENFIT commented: “Iqirvo®’s performance in its first full year of sales, together with encouraging early results from both our oncology and ACLF assets, were very promising signs for GENFIT last year. 2026 could be even better and significantly accelerate the Company’s trajectory. Indeed, we expect to see continued strong performance from Iqirvo® in PBC, while also anticipating a significant acceleration in our diagnostic business. On top of these growing businesses, there are also promising programs further down the pipeline. This summer, we expect to receive full results from our Phase 1b oncology trial, which could become a game changer. In 2027, we anticipate results from the Phase 2 proof‑of‑concept study evaluating NTZ in ACLF that we will start later this year. Looking further ahead, Ipsen’s ongoing development efforts in PSC also have the potential to represent a step change for the Company.”

In 2025, GENFIT benefited from the strong commercial performance of Iqirvo®1 in Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC), driven by Ipsen’s commercial execution. Performance will continue to be closely monitored, and current indicators suggest that Ipsen is on track to deliver results meaningfully above initial expectations. Beyond this existing business, several additional programs in our pipeline or with partners have the potential to generate additional significant value in the future on a scale comparable to, or exceeding, PBC royalties:

I. 2025 Highlights – including post-closing events

Commercial & partnership highlights

In 2025, GENFIT’s partners achieved significant progress, driving a number of important developments across key programs:

Ipsen’s Iqirvo (elafibranor) in PBC and PSC

Non-invasive diagnostic technology in MASH

R&D highlights

In 2025, GENFIT advanced its lead clinical programs in ACLF and CCA, reprioritized VS‑01, and continued to assess the potential of multiple mechanisms of action across its research portfolio.

Clinical developments

Research developments

Other developments

Financial highlights

The Royalty Financing agreement signed in March 20254 has significantly extended GENFIT’s cash runway, beyond the end of 2028, enabling the Company to further develop its pipeline focused on ACLF and support general corporate purposes. See III. Financial results for further details.

Genfit recorded a revenue of €65.4 million in 2025. This consists of greater than expected royalty revenue of €21.8 million and two milestones totalling €43.6 million, both of which stem from positive market performance of Ipsen’s Iqirvo®.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company’s net loss amounted to €86.0 million compared with a net gain of €1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Excluding certain one‑time non‑cash operating expenses of €49.1 million, and excluding an estimated €13.3 million in financial expenses arising from faster than expected repayment of the royalty financing, the 2025 net loss would be reduced to €23.6 million. These items are described in more detail below in section III. Financial Results.

Sustainability highlights

B Corp certification was granted at the end of 2025, providing an independent, internationally recognized mark of credibility. This certification underscores GENFIT’s engagement in social, societal, environmental and governance matters as the Company continues to execute its ESG roadmap on schedule.

Corporate governance updates

Mr. Tristan IMBERT was appointed as a director for a three-year term by the General Meeting of Shareholders held on June 17, 2025 and joined the Audit Committee and ESG Committee following his appointment. The terms of office of Mr. Eric BACLET and Ms. Katherine KALIN as directors were renewed for a period of three years. Mr. John BROZEK replaced Ms. Florence SÉJOURNÉ as permanent representative of Biotech Avenir SAS on the Company's Board of Directors. Dr. Pejvack MOTLAGH replaced Dr. Carol ADDY as Chief Medical Officer and member of the Executive Committee in November 2025, following her retirement on June 30, 2025. Sakina SAYAH-JEANNE, formerly Executive Vice President of Research and Translational Science and member of the Executive Committee, replaced Dean HUM, Chief Scientific Officer following his retirement on September 30, 2025.

II. 2026 Outlook

Commercial and partnership outlook

Ipsen’s Iqirvo® (elafibranor) in PBC and PSC

Ipsen is expected to publish its first‑quarter 2026 financial results on April 23, 2026. For further information on the development of Iqirvo in PBC and PSC, please refer to Ipsen’s news flow and financial calendar: https://www.ipsen.com/investors/financial-calendar/

Non-invasive diagnostic technology in MASH

Building on the therapeutic market momentum observed in 2025, and the expected evolution of the competitive landscape with the entry of additional large pharmaceutical players, the MASH diagnostics market is expected to further develop in 2026. Addressing this opportunity at scale will require reliable and scalable solutions to support patient identification, treatment decision‑making and longitudinal monitoring across care pathways. In this context, GENFIT’s technology is already referenced in international clinical guidance as the only fully blood‑based approach for identifying at‑risk MASH patients, recognized by the LITMUS and NIMBLE consortia and supported by a robust body of scientific literature. Looking ahead, further progress in 2026 will depend on a combination of factors, including reimbursement and payer adoption, demand generated through broad pharmaceutical programs, and advances toward an IVD‑labeled version to support wider clinical use.

TOTAL67,00265,434

Royalty revenue

Royalty revenue is derived from worldwide sales (excluding Greater China) of Ipsen's Iqirvo. These are utilized to repay the Group's Royalty Financing liability.

Milestone revenue

On May 20, 2025, GENFIT announced that Ipsen’s Iqirvo was granted pricing and reimbursement in Italy for Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC)9, the third major European country to do so in addition to the UK and Germany. This third approval triggered a new milestone payment of €26.5 million under GENFIT's Licensing and Collaboration Agreement with Ipsen, due upon pricing and reimbursement of Iqirvo in three major European markets.

In 2025, GENFIT recorded its first commercial milestone of €17.0 million ($20.0 million) after Ipsen’s Iqirvo exceeded the $200 million threshold in its first full year of net sales.

In 2024, the first commercial sale of Iqirvo occurred in the U.S. which triggered a €48.7 million milestone.

Other incomeYear ended
(in € thousands)2024/12/312025/12/31
CIR tax credit3,4155,202
Government grants and subsidies275210
Other operating income (including exchange gains on trade payables and receivables)247270
TOTAL3,9375,682

CIR tax credit

The research tax credit (CIR) amounted to €5,202 in 2025 (€3,415 in 2024), due to an increase in eligible research and development expenses.

Government grants and subsidies

Government grants and subsidies amounted to €210 thousand in 2025 (€275 thousand in 2024).

Other operating income

Other operating income amounted to €270 thousand in 2025 (€247 thousand in 2024), mainly comprised of exchange gains on trade receivables.

Operating results and expenses

Operating expenses for 2025 amounted to €124.7 million compared to €67.7 million for 2024. This is comprised of research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses, marketing and market access expenses, and other operating expenses.
The increase is due to several factors:

In 2025, GENFIT generated a consolidated operating loss of €53.6 million, compared to an operating gain of €3.3 million in 2024.

Clarification on non-recurring charges

The reported €53.6 million consolidated operating loss includes one‑time non‑cash costs related to the decision to discontinue the VS‑01 ACLF clinical trials. Excluding these one-time non-cash costs, the consolidated operating loss is reduced to €4.5 million.

Financial results

2025 resulted in a financial loss of €32.9 million compared to a financial loss of €1.4 million in 2024.
The financial result for 2025 is driven by the following components:

The €28.8 million increase in the FVTPL of the royalty financing liability reflects a better-than-expected royalty forecast. Based on this revised forecast, we estimate that the royalty financing will be repaid earlier than originally planned. This acceleration results in a quicker recognition of related financial expenses. We estimate that this timing difference results in financial expenses being €13.3 million higher in 2025.

Cash position

As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to €101.1 million compared with €81.8 million as of December 31, 2024.

In 2025, cash utilization is mainly the result of our research and development efforts in our ACLF franchise (notably VS-01, NTZ/G1090N, SRT-015, CLM-022, and VS-02 HE), as well as GNS561 in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Cash utilization is offset notably by the €26.55 million milestone received in July 2025 (invoiced in May 2025) upon pricing and reimbursement approval of Iqirvo (elafibranor) in Italy, the third major European country to do so, as part of our long-term strategic partnership with Ipsen (the “Ipsen Agreement”) signed in December 2021.

In January 2026, GENFIT exercised its option to receive (and received) the second installment of the Royalty Financing agreement totaling €30.0 million. Both this amount, as well as the first commercial milestone of €17.0 million ($20.0 million) that GENFIT will receive as part of the Ipsen Agreement, are not included in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025.

We expect that our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements beyond the end of 2028, enabling the Company to further develop its R&D pipeline and support general corporate purposes. This is based on current assumptions and programs and does not include exceptional events. This estimation assumes (i) our expectation to receive significant future commercial milestone revenue pursuant to the Ipsen Agreement and Ipsen meeting its sales-based thresholds and (ii) drawing down the third and final, optional installment under the Royalty Financing agreement.

ABOUT GENFIT

GENFIT is a biopharmaceutical company committed to improving the lives of patients with rare, life-threatening liver diseases whose medical needs remain largely unmet. GENFIT is a pioneer in liver disease research and development with a rich history and a solid scientific heritage spanning more than two decades. Today, GENFIT focuses on Acute on-chronic Liver Failure (ACLF) and associated conditions such as acute decompensation (AD) and hepatic encephalopathy (HE).
