Immatics Reports Wider Q1 Loss as PRAME R&D Spending Outpaces Revenue Projections Immatics reported a Q1 2026 net loss of $66.5 million (€57.8 million), with earnings per share at a loss of $0.50, which was wider than the consensus loss of $0.42 per share.
Revenue for the quarter came in at $8.91 million, which was below analyst estimates.
The company ended March 31, 2026 with $521.5 million (€453.6 million) in cash and equivalents and projects its current cash runway to extend through 2028, while advancing its PRAME-focused pipeline, including the Phase 3 SUPRAME trial for anzu-cel in advanced melanoma and early-stage programs IMA203CD8 and IMA402.
The key tension is higher spending on PRAME-targeted R&D and administration versus current revenue levels, with the sizeable cash balance providing room to continue funding clinical programs.
Investors may want to monitor upcoming 2026 clinical readouts and commercialization updates, as progress on these milestones and any changes to earnings estimates can influence sentiment on the stock. Announcement • Apr 18
Immatics N.V. Highlights Prame-Directed Tcr T-Cell Therapy Inducing Remission In Pediatric Nephroblastoma Patient Immatics N.V. announced that an abstract highlighting a pediatric patient treated with a PRAME-directed cell therapy using Immatics’ PRAME T-cell receptor (TCR) has been accepted for a late-breaking poster presentation at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2026 in San Diego, California, USA. The abstract highlights the case of a 17-year-old adolescent with PRAME-positive advanced nephroblastoma, a malignant kidney cancer that predominantly occurs in children. The patient had rapidly progressing disease with metastases to the lung, liver and brain with an abdominal lesion measuring 16 cm in longest diameter. After exhausting all available treatment options and being ineligible for any ongoing clinical trial, the treating physician requested Immatics’ PRAME-directed TCR (encoded by the IMA203CD8 lentiviral vector) for an individual experimental treatment attempt (named-patient use; “Individueller Heilversuch” in Germany) at KiTZ, where a TCR T-cell therapy was manufactured. Following treatment, the patient experienced a deep anti-tumor response, with remission observed three months post-infusion and ongoing at six months of follow-up. PET scan and MRI imaging demonstrated marked tumor regression across all lesion sites. Additionally, liquid biopsy monitoring showed no more tumor-derived DNA, indicating molecular remission. Safety events reported in the abstract by the treating physician included cytokine release syndrome, which was manageable and resolved under multi-modal anti-cytokine therapy and corticosteroids. At six months of follow-up, the patient is in excellent physical condition. PRAME is a tumor target present on the cell surface of more than 50 cancers and can be targeted by TCR T-cell therapies. Based on the high PRAME expression across multiple different pediatric tumors in combination with the potential benefit of particularly strong immune responses in young patients, PRAME TCR T-cell therapies may offer a promising new treatment option for these patients. Immatics is planning to evaluate the potential of its PRAME TCR T-cell therapy candidates in pediatric patients with cancer and is assessing multiple options for clinical development including a potential first-in-pediatrics Phase 1/2 basket study in pediatric patients with HLA-A02:01-positive, PRAME-expressing relapsed or refractory solid tumors at KiTZ in Heidelberg. Immatics is developing PRAME-directed TCR T-cell therapies engineered to recognize an intracellular PRAME-derived peptide presented by HLA-A02:01 on the surface of tumor cells and to initiate a potent and specific anti-tumor response. Immatics’ PRAME-directed cell therapies are being evaluated in clinical trials across multiple PRAME-positive solid tumors in adult patients. Its lead PRAME cell therapy candidate, anzu-cel (anzutresgene autoleucel, IMA203) is currently being evaluated in a registration-enabling Phase 3 trial “SUPRAME” in previously treated advanced cutaneous melanoma and a Phase 2 trial in metastatic uveal melanoma. In addition, Immatics is evaluating its second-generation PRAME cell therapy, IMA203CD8, in a Phase 1a dose escalation trial in patients with PRAME-positive solid tumors, with a focus on gynecologic cancers. PRAME is a target expressed in more than 50 cancers. The Immatics PRAME franchise currently includes three product candidates, two therapeutic modalities and two combination therapies that target PRAME: anzu-cel (anzutresgene autoleucel, IMA203) PRAME cell therapy, IMA203CD8 PRAME cell therapy (GEN2), IMA402 PRAME bispecific as monotherapy and in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor as well as anzu-cel in combination with Moderna’s PRAME mRNA designed to enhance cell therapy.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.7% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.7% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (€149m net loss in 3 years).

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 41% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 13% per year for the foreseeable future.

Immatics N.V. Reports Interim Clinical Data from ACTengine IMA203 and IMA203CD8 TCR-T Monotherapies Targeting PRame in an Ongoing Phase 1 Trial Immatics N.V. announced interim data from the ongoing Phase 1 trial with ACTengine®? IMA203 in patients with recurrent and/or refractory solid cancers. The update is focused on IMA203 GEN1 in melanoma at the recently defined recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) and the first clinical data for IMA203CD8 GEN2. Treatment with IMA203 GEN1 monotherapy in Phase 1a and Phase 1b Cohort A at RP2D demonstrated durable objective responses in melanoma patients with one patient exceeding 12 months and two patients exceeding 15 months post infusion and a 50% (6/12) confirmed objective response rate (cORR). In line with previous results, IMA203 GEN1 monotherapy was well tolerated at total doses up to 10x109 TCR-T cells infused. In addition, the first data on the company’s second-generation product candidate IMA203CD8 demonstrated 56% (5/9) cORR with enhanced pharmacology and a differentiated response pattern compared to IMA203 GEN1. The company plans to develop IMA203 GEN1 in melanoma and to pursue development of IMA203 in ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, NSCLC, triple-negative breast cancer and other tumor types preferentially with IMA203CD8 GEN2. The melanoma-focused data on IMA203 GEN1 will be presented by Martin Wermke, MD, Professor at the University Hospital Dresden and Coordinating Investigator of the ACTengine® IMA203 TCR-T trial, at the 20th International Congress of the Society for Melanoma Research in Philadelphia, PA, taking place November 6th-9th, 2023. IMA203 GEN1 in melanoma patients treated at RP2D: IMA203 GEN1 demonstrates a high rate of objective responses with ongoing durability of more than 15 months after treatment: At data cut-off on September 30, 2023, a total of 16 PRAME-positive patients with cutaneous, uveal or melanoma of unknown primary origin were infused with IMA203 GEN1 at the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D, 1-10x109 total TCR-T cells) across Phase 1a or Phase 1b Cohort A. IMA203 GEN1 monotherapy continues to be well tolerated. All 16 patients experienced cytopenia (Grade 1-4) associated with lymphodepletion as expected. Patients had mostly mild-moderate cytokine release syndrome (CRS), of which 10 patients (63%) had Grade 1, and 5 patients (31%) Grade 2 and 1 patient (6%) Grade 3 CRS. One non-serious, mild (Grade 1) immune effector cell associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) was observed. No dose-dependent increase of CRS, no dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) and no IMA203-related death was observed. The safety profile for non-melanoma patients treated with IMA203 GEN1 was generally consistent with safety in the melanoma subset and is provided in the appendix of the presentation. 13 out of 16 infused patients were evaluable for efficacy analysis based on at least one tumor response assessment being available post treatment. These patients received a median total infused dose of 1.73x109 IMA203 TCR-T cells (range 1.07-5.12x109 TCR-T cells). Most patients were heavily pre-treated with a median of 4 lines of systemic therapies, thereof a median of 2 lines of checkpoint inhibitors; all 8 cutaneous melanoma patients were checkpoint inhibitor-refractory and 5 of 8 were BRAF inhibitor-pretreated. 50% (6/12) confirmed objective response rate (cORR) and 62% (8/13) initial ORR (RECIST 1.1). Durability of responses ongoing beyond 12 months in one patient and 15 months in two patients after treatment. Median duration of response (mDOR) was not reached (min 2.2+ months, max 14.7+ months) at a median follow-up (mFU) of 14.4 months. RP2D has been defined at 1-10x109 total TCR-T cells. Cell product manufacturing: 7-day manufacturing process plus 7-day release testing. Manufacturing success rate: >95% to reach RP2D. Immatics has recently received Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation from the FDA for IMA203 GEN1 in multiple PRAME-expressing cancers, including cutaneous and uveal melanoma, and is now targeting a registration-enabling Phase 2 trial in cutaneous melanoma potentially bundled with uveal melanoma in 2024. Discussions with FDA to align on patient populations, trial design and CMC aspects concerning the planned Phase 2 trial are ongoing. IMA203CD8 GEN2 in Cohort C: First clinical data set on IMA203CD8 shows an enhanced pharmacology profile with a differentiated response pattern compared to IMA203 GEN1 At data cut-off on September 30, 2023, a total of 12 PRAME-positive patients were infused with IMA203CD8 GEN2 across DL3 (0.2-0.48x109 TCR-T cells/m2 BSA), DL4a (0.481-0.8x109 TCR-T cells/m2 BSA) and DL4b (0.801-1.2x109 TCR-T cells/m2) in Cohort C with a median total infused dose of 1.17x109 IMA203CD8 TCR-T cells (range 0.64-2.05x109 TCR-T cells). All patients were heavily pre-treated with a median of 3 lines of systemic therapies. All patients experienced cytopenia (Grade 1-4) associated with lymphodepletion as expected. 11 out of 12 patients (92%) experienced a cytokine release syndrome (CRS), of which 8 patients (67%) had Grade 1 or 2 CRS, 2 patients (17%) had Grade 3 CRS and 1 patient (8%) had a Grade 4 CRS. The latter patient also had a reported Grade 4 neurotoxicity. No ICANS or neurotoxicity was reported for the other patients. No IMA203CD8-related deaths were observed. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were reported for 2 of 4 patients treated at DL4b. No DLT was reported for all 4 patients treated at DL3, or all 4 patients treated at DL4a. DL4a dose cohort is ongoing. Initial clinical activity was observed with a cORR of 56% (5/9) and initial ORR of 58% (7/12) (RECIST 1.1). 6 of 7 responses (including two unconfirmed responses with no subsequent scan available at data cut-off) were ongoing at data cut-off with longest response at >12 months after infusion. mDOR was not reached (min 2.0+ months, max 11.5+ months) at a mFU of 4.8 months. Reduction of tumor size was observed in 11 out of 12 patients, with a deepening of response from initially stable disease (SD) to partial response (PR) observed in two patients. Translational data showed enhanced pharmacology of IMA203CD8 GEN2: trend towards responses at lower T cell dose and higher tumor burden compared to IMA203 GEN1; IMA203CD8 GEN2 achieved higher peak expansion (Cmax) when normalized to infused dose and T cells showed higher initial activation levels without exhaustion over time.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 13% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 13% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (€111m net loss in 2 years).

Immatics N.V. Receives FDA Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) Designation for ACTengine(R) IMA203 TCR-T Monotherapy Immatics N.V. announced that its IMA203 TCR-T program has received Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation from the FDA Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) in multiple relapsed and/or refractory HLA-A*02:01-positive and PRAME-expressing cancers, including cutaneous melanoma, uveal melanoma, endometrial carcinoma, synovial sarcoma, and ovarian cancer. IMA203 is a TCR-T cell therapy targeting PRAME, a protein frequently expressed in a large variety of solid tumors. Established under the 21st Century Cures Act, RMAT designation is a dedicated program designed to expedite the development and review processes for promising pipeline products, including cell therapies, that includes all the benefits of Fast Track and Breakthrough designation programs. An investigational cell therapy is eligible for RMAT designation if it meets the definition of regenerative medicine therapy, it is intended to treat, modify, reverse, or cure a serious or life-threatening disease; and preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the therapy has the potential to address unmet medical needs for that disease. Advantages of the RMAT designation include early interactions with the FDA that may be used to discuss potential surrogate or intermediate endpoints for accelerated approval and potential ways to satisfy post-approval requirements, potential priority review of the biologics license application (BLA) and other opportunities to expedite development and review. Based on publicly available information1, it is the Company’s understanding that this is the first time that FDA has granted a RMAT designation for an oncology drug candidate for more than two solid tumor indications. As of Sep 30, 2023, the U.S. FDA has received at least 238 requests for RMAT designations and granted 92. Announcement • Aug 11
Immatics N.V. Initiates Phase 1/2 Clinical Trial to Evaluate Promame TCR Bispecific IMA402 in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors Immatics N.V. announced the initiation of a Phase 1/2 clinical trial with its proprietary Bispecific T cell engaging receptor (TCER®) IMA402. IMA402 is the second product candidate in Immatics’ TCER® pipeline of next-generation, half-life extended bispecific molecules to enter clinical development. It targets an HLA-A02:01-presented peptide derived from PRAME, a clinically established cancer target frequently expressed in a large variety of solid tumors. The Phase 1/2 clinical trial (NCT05958121) investigates TCER® IMA402 in HLA-A02:01-positive patients with PRAME-expressing recurrent and/or refractory solid tumors. The dose escalation part of the study is designed as a basket trial in focus indications to accelerate signal finding. Initial focus indications are cutaneous and uveal melanoma, ovarian cancer, lung cancer, uterine cancer and synovial sarcoma, among others. Primary objectives of the IMA402 Phase 1/2 trial are to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or the recommended doses for trial extensions, as well as to characterize safety and tolerability of IMA402. Secondary objectives are to evaluate anti-tumor activity and assess pharmacokinetics of IMA402. The Phase 1a dose escalation will be followed by a Phase 1b dose expansion, with the plan then to initiate a Phase 2 with indication-specific cohorts and/or combination therapies. Immatics has implemented an adaptive design for the dose escalation with the goal to accelerate the clinical development timeline of IMA402. Pharmacokinetics data will be assessed throughout the trial and might provide an early opportunity for adjustment of the treatment interval based on the half-life extended TCER® format. The trial is initially planned to be conducted at approximately 15 sites in Europe, with extension into the US at dose expansion stage. The Phase 1a is designed to enroll approximately 45 patients. The trial initiation is based on the comprehensive preclinical studies with IMA402 presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2022. TCER® IMA402 is the second Immatics clinical program targeting PRAME, with the first being ACTengine® IMA203, a TCR-T cell therapy that is currently in Phase 1b dose expansion – see recent data release. Both approaches, ACTengine® and TCER®, are distinct therapeutic modalities that the company believe have the potential to provide innovative treatment options for a variety of cancer patient populations with different medical needs.

Immatics Presents Preclinical Proof-Of-Concept Data for TCR Bispecifics Program IMA402 Targeting PRAME Immatics N.V. announced data from its second T cell receptor Bispecifics program, IMA402, supporting preclinical proof-of-concept for the program and further validating this proprietary therapeutic modality. IMA402 is directed against the cancer target PRAME, a protein that is frequently expressed in many solid cancers, thereby supporting the program’s potential to address a broad cancer patient population. IMA402 is the second program originating from Immatics’ TCR Bispecifics pipeline, called T Cell Engaging Receptor. The lead candidate showed anti-tumor activity against PRAME-positive cancer cells leading to consistent reduction of the engrafted tumors, including complete responses in an in vivo mouse model. The preclinical data will be presented at the virtual 17th Annual PEGS Boston Protein Engineering and Cell Therapy Summit, on May 11-13, 2021. Preclinical data highlights: The IMA402 TCER candidate targets an HLA-A*02-bound peptide derived from preferentially expressed antigen in melanoma. The target peptide was selected and validated based on quantitative mass spectrometry data from Immatics’ proprietary XPRESIDENT platform and is prevalent in many solid tumor indications including lung, ovarian and breast cancer as well as other solid cancer types. Over 50 different human wild-type TCRs recognizing the PRAME target peptide were systematically evaluated using Immatics’ XCEPTOR platform. Two TCRs with high avidity and specificity were selected and affinity-enhanced by at least 1,000-fold while retaining specificity through the XPRESIDENT-guided screening for off-target toxicity and cross-reactivity. Different engineered TCR variants were then incorporated into the bispecific TCER scaffold and the best candidate was selected. The IMA402 TCER candidate induces killing of tumor cells in vitro with PRAME target peptide levels similar to levels found in cancer patients. Administration of IMA402 TCER candidate leads to consistent tumor regression including complete responses in an in vivo mouse model. The IMA402 TCER® candidate demonstrates selective PRAME recognition leading to an at least 1,000-fold therapeutic window between tumor and normal cell reactivity in vitro. Preclinical data support antibody-like profiles for manufacturability and pharmacokinetics of the IMA402 TCER candidate. For the IMA402 TCER program, Immatics has initiated GMP process development activities to advance this program towards the Investigational New Drug stage and clinical development. The company’s first TCER program, IMA401 remains on track for submission of a clinical trial application by year end 2021. The company had previously announced preclinical proof-of-concept data for IMA401 in last quarter of 2020. Reported Earnings • Apr 02

Immatics Presents Data Update on Dose Escalation from Ongoing ACTengine® Cell Therapy Programs Immatics N.V. announced a clinical data update from the dose escalation cohorts of the company’s ongoing Phase 1 trials for its engineered Adoptive Cell Therapy approach (also known as TCR-T). The treatment of patients with ACTengine® product candidates IMA201, IMA202 and IMA203 at initial dose levels below one billion transduced cells, intended to establish safety and first biological activity, showed first anti-tumor activity with 9 out of 10 evaluable patients showing disease control as well as tumor shrinkage observed in 8 out of 10 patients including one partial response. Clinical observations were consistent with observed robust engraftment, persistence and tumor infiltration of infused ACTengine® T cells. Overall, all product candidates demonstrated a manageable safety and tolerability profile. Each of the ACTengine® product candidates harness the patient’s own T cells, which are genetically engineered to express a novel, proprietary T cell receptor (TCR) directed against a defined cancer target. Clinical trial overview and patient characteristics: The primary objectives of the Phase 1 studies are to study the safety profile of the ACTengine® product candidates in patients with target-positive solid cancers and to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose. Secondary objectives include the assessment of T cell engraftment, persistence and infiltration into the tumor, and the assessment of objective tumor responses. At data cut-off on February 16, 2021, 14 patients across multiple solid tumor indications, including non-small cell lung cancer, head & neck cancer, melanoma, synovial sarcoma and others, received ACTengine® T cell products. All patients were heavily pre-treated, failed all previous therapies and entered the study with recurrent and/or refractory tumors. All patients received lymphodepletion prior to product infusion. For 10 patients with at least one tumor response assessment available after treatment, biological and clinical activity was assessed. All of these evaluable patients were dosed with an ACTengine® product candidate at the first or second dose level (DL) as part of the dose-escalation protocol. Median total dose infused was 0.11 billion transduced cells (range: 0.08-0.65 billion). At these low doses below one billion transduced cells " considerably lower than the therapeutic doses described in other TCR-T studies and thus presumed to be sub-therapeutic the key objective was to establish initial safety and biological activity.
