ICON plc Releases Findings from Two Biotech Sector Survey ICON plc released findings from two biotech sector surveys. The first survey focused on global biotech trends and is an update of 2023 survey, while the second survey focused exclusively on trends in the rapidly growing Chinese biotech market. In total, both surveys captured insights from more than 260 biotech professionals and venture capital executives across the US, Europe, Asia-Pacific (APAC) and the Middle East. ICON's global biotech sector survey of 163 biotech respondents highlights the resilience of the industry, driven by investment in APAC markets and shifts in R&D priorities since its last survey in 2023. It positions China's presence as a positive signal for the global industry, with the findings highlighting how Western biotechs must adapt to maintain competitiveness and drive innovation. Funding remains a key challenge and 41% of organizations are actively seeking additional R&D funding, a 27% increase since 2023, highlighting ongoing financial pressures across the industry. Globally, the top three sources of funding are unchanged: large pharma partnerships, venture capital (VC), and government grants. However, the survey shows how VC funds have expanded their focus, with APAC biotechs stating VC funding was 60% of their current funding source versus 32% for US and 30% for Europe. This is leading some biotechs to explore innovative funding sources and ICON highlights the emerging models being increasingly adopted, including royalty financing, carve-outs, and crowdfunding. Since the last survey, access to talent is becoming more of a concern. This was more pronounced in APAC where responders were almost three times as likely to list talent shortages as having operational impact as their global counterparts (47% vs 18% in the US and 17% in Europe). The survey reveals leading next-generation modalities; notably, cell therapy has overtaken small molecules and is now most prominent, making up 40% of organizations' pipelines. Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) and microbiome therapies are not far behind at 31%. Therapeutic focus areas have also evolved since the last survey findings, with neurology (44%), cardiovascular (39%), and immune disorders (32%) now outpacing a previous dominance in oncology. Despite the multiple macro challenges they face, the biggest risk to biotechs' operations is the complexity of drug development. Almost three quarters of respondents (73%) ranked this among their top five micro factorsposing the greatest risk to their organisation's operations. The survey highlighted how biotech companies are increasingly embracing digital technologies to improve operations, with 76% of respondents anticipating AI and other technologies will significantly accelerate R&D processes within the next two years. When asked which factors have the most potential to accelerate drug development, 41% of respondents selected AI-enabled asset selection in drug discovery, an increase from 26% in 2023. ION's separate survey of China-based biotechs, was based on 100 respondents. The findings highlighted that the challenges China-based biotechs face align with their global counterparts, most notably funding, and the complexity of drug development and regulations. Cardiovascular and oncology remain the top therapeutic focus areas in China, in contrast to the global shift toward neurology. However, cell therapy, microbiome therapies, and ADCs dominate pipelines across all regions. Respondents in China also report less concern about geopolitical developments and greater confidence in investment and product success. Bekanntmachung • Dec 02
Icon plc Announces Results of Its Latest Industry Survey ICON plc announced results of its latest industry survey, examining the challenges clinical trial sites face during study startup. The findings underscore the need for a site-centric, collaborative approach to overcome bottlenecks and enhance trial activation timelines. The survey, conducted in June 2025 among just over 100 principal investigators and senior clinical trial site personnel, gathered perspectives from a wide range of clinical trial sites and is not limited to studies managed by ICON. It reveals widespread sentiment that sites are increasingly burdened by operational bottlenecks, contract and budget delays, and communication gaps. These challenges contribute to significant disruptions at the startup stage, with 55% of respondents reporting that time from site selection to full activation is longer than 5 months, and 39% reporting longer timelines than two years ago. Contract and budget delays are a persistent issue, with 66% of respondents experiencing them frequently. Almost all respondents (92%) identified these as the top areas where both sponsors and contract research organizations (CROs) can improve support. With 47% of respondents rating sponsor and CRO communication as average or poor, this highlights a critical need for site-centricity. Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Nov 26

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants failed to disclose that: (a) ICON was suffering from a material loss of business due to customer cost reduction measures and other widespread funding limitations impacting the Company's client base; (b) ICON's purported FSP and hybrid model offerings were insufficient to shield the Company from the adverse effects of a significant market downturn; (c) the RFPs ICON received from its biotechnology customers during the class period were used in substantial part as price discovery tools, and thus were not indicative of underlying client demand; (d) ICON's customers had canceled contracts, limited or reduced engagements, delayed clinical trial work, and/or failed to enter into new contracts with ICON for additional clinical trial work at historical rates once existing projects ended (or were scheduled to end) in 2024; (e) ICON's two larger customers were diversifying their CRO providers away from the Company; (f) as a result of (a)-(e) above, ICON's reported net new business awards and book-to-bill metrics materially misrepresented client demand for ICON's services; and (g) that as a result of (a)-(f) above, ICON was tracking materially below the 2024 revenue and EPS guidance issued during the class period and such guidance lacked a reasonable factual basis.

Icon plc Releases the Findings of A Survey of over 120 Biomarkers and Pharma Professionals Developing Treatments for Neurodegenerative Disorders ICON plc released the findings of a survey of over 120 biotech and pharma professionals developing treatments for neurodegenerative disorders. The findings indicate that, despite recent successes in developing disease modifying treatments for Alzheimer's, persistent challenges that remain in neurodegenerative clinical trials can be mitigated by underutilised trial methodologies. ICON outlines how these innovations, including increased use of biomarkers and innovative trial designs, can be implemented in its new whitepaper: 'Early, precise and efficient: The methods and technologies advancing Alzheimer's and Parkinson's R&D'. Biomarkers are one of the most promising tools to identify potential clinical trial participants early in their disease progression. Encouragingly, nearly all respondents (97%) reported using biomarkers to identify patients and over half (59%) are leveraging AI tools to accelerate biomarker detection. Whilst this uptake is promising, biomarkers are not yet being optimised for full implementation. The use of biomarkers can sometimes make a trial longer, more expensive, and slower to enrol patients. However, implementation of biomarker tests could be increasingly implemented to address some of the more resource-intensive eligibility criteria, such as imaging or CSF status. Innovative clinical trial methodologies can also speed up drug development, yet the survey findings indicate that respondents are not experimenting with these as much as they could. For example, only 28% of respondents reported implementing an adaptive trial design of any type, while even fewer reported using historic controls (22%) or master protocol designs (19%), all of which can accelerate patient recruitment. Encouragingly, the survey revealed sponsors are not deterred from investing in R&D, especially in a diversified way. A large majority of respondents (87%) reported that they plan to invest in multiple therapeutic areas or a combination approach. They are also using AI to accelerate R&D, predominantly for the initial steps of the development process. For example, half of respondents who reported using AI or machine learning employ it for hypothesis generation (48%) and lead discovery (50%). Interestingly, the survey findings suggest that collaboration across industry is also an underappreciated acceleration opportunity. Only 29% of respondents indicated that it was an area that could support and accelerate R&D. Bekanntmachung • Dec 18
