•New development programs for batoclimab in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and Graves’ disease announced

NEW YORK, November 4, 2022 – Immunovant, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMVT), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to enabling normal lives for people with autoimmune diseases, today reported recent company updates and financial results for its fiscal second quarter ended September 30, 2022.

“This was an exciting quarter for Immunovant during which we unveiled a next generation anti-FcRn, IMVT-1402, that has been observed in a head-to-head animal study with batoclimab and placebo to have potentially best-in-class IgG reduction, with minimal or no impact on levels of albumin and LDL,” said Pete Salzmann, M.D., chief executive officer at Immunovant. “As a leader in FcRn inhibitor technology, our expertise in CMC has also enabled us to develop a formulation for IMVT-1402 whose properties are similar to batoclimab, thereby enabling simple subcutaneous administration for both assets in our franchise.”

Recent Updates and Anticipated Milestones:

Immunovant announced two new programs for batoclimab in CIDP and Graves’ disease.

•A pivotal Phase 2b trial in CIDP is planned to be initiated by the end of calendar year 2022, with initial results expected in the first half of calendar year 2024.

•In Graves’ disease, a Phase 2 trial is planned to be initiated in early calendar year 2023 with initial results expected in the second half of calendar year 2023.

Immunovant plans to finalize the lead asset and trial design in WAIHA following an expected engagement with the hematology division of the FDA before the end of calendar year 2022.

As previously disclosed, Immunovant expects to have top-line results from the MG trial in the second half of calendar year 2024 and expects to have top-line results from the two TED trials in the first half of calendar year 2025.

This next generation FcRn inhibitor was unveiled in September. Immunovant plans to submit an Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application for IMVT-1402 in early calendar year 2023 with an expected initial data readout in mid-calendar year 2023.

On October 6, 2022, the Company raised approximately $70 million in net proceeds through an underwritten offering of common stock. With this cash infusion, Immunovant’s pro forma cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2022, totaled approximately $476 million, which is expected to extend cash runway into the second half of calendar year 2025.

Financial Highlights for Fiscal Second Quarter Ended September 30, 2022:

R&D Expenses: Research and development expenses were $37.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $21.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher batoclimab program-specific research and development costs, increased personnel-related expenses (including stock-based compensation), and costs related to the research and development of IMVT-1402.

G&A Expenses: General and administrative expenses were $11.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $16.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to lower financial advisory, legal, and other professional fees, partially offset by higher personnel-related expenses (including stock-based compensation) and information technology costs.

Net Loss: Net loss was $47.9 million ($0.41 per common share) for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $37.7 million ($0.35 per common share) for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 included $8.2 million and $8.4 million, respectively, related to non-cash stock-based compensation expense.

Common Stock: As of September 30, 2022, there were 116,614,088 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. On October 6, 2022, the Company issued 12,500,000 shares of common stock as part of the underwritten equity offering.

Financial Highlights for Fiscal Six Months Ended September 30, 2022:

R&D Expenses: Research and development expenses were $66.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $40.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to elevated personnel-related expenses (including stock-based compensation), higher costs related to cross-indication clinical studies and clinical research, higher batoclimab program-specific research and development costs, and costs related to the research and development of IMVT-1402.

G&A Expenses: General and administrative expenses were $23.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $27.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to lower financial advisory, legal, and other professional fees, partially offset by higher personnel-related expenses (including stock-based compensation) and information technology costs.

Net Loss: Net loss was $88.3 million ($0.76 per common share) for the six months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $68.2 million ($0.66 per common share) for the six months ended September 30, 2021. Net loss for the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 included $15.8 million and $12.2 million, respectively, related to non-cash stock-based compensation expense.
