NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — General

Adaptimmune Therapeutics plc is registered in England and Wales. Its registered office is 60 Jubilee Avenue, Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxfordshire, OX14 4RX, United Kingdom. Adaptimmune Therapeutics plc and its subsidiaries (collectively “Adaptimmune” or the “Company”) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company primarily focused on providing novel cell therapies to people with cancer. We are a leader in the development of T-cell therapies for solid tumors. The Company’s proprietary platform enables it to identify cancer targets, find and develop cell therapy candidates active against those targets and produce therapeutic candidates for administration to patients.

The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to other biopharmaceutical companies in the early stage of clinical development including, but not limited to, the need to obtain adequate additional funding, possible failure of preclinical programs or clinical programs, the need to obtain marketing approval for its cell therapies, competitors developing new technological innovations, the need to successfully commercialize and gain market acceptance of its cell therapies, the need to develop a reliable commercial manufacturing process, the need to commercialize any cell therapies that may be approved for marketing, and protection of proprietary technology. If the Company does not successfully commercialize any of its cell therapies, it will be unable to generate product revenue or achieve profitability. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $838,631,000 as of June 30, 2022.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Adaptimmune Therapeutics plc and its subsidiaries and other financial information included in this Quarterly Report are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and are presented in U.S. dollars. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated on consolidation.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 14, 2022 (the “Annual Report”). The balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 was derived from audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to those consolidated financial statements.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements. However, these interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the results of the interim period. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

(b) Use of estimates in interim financial statements

The preparation of interim financial statements, in conformity with U.S. GAAP and SEC regulations, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are made in various areas, including in relation to valuation allowances relating to deferred tax assets, revenue recognition, and estimation of the incremental borrowing rate for operating leases. If actual results differ from the Company’s estimates, or to the extent these estimates are adjusted in future periods, the Company’s results of operations could either benefit from, or be adversely affected by, any such change in estimate.

Table of Contents

(c) Fair value measurements

The Company is required to disclose information on all assets and liabilities reported at fair value that enables an assessment of the inputs used in determining the reported fair values. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes valuation inputs based on the observable nature of those inputs. The hierarchy defines three levels of valuation inputs:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability

The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of marketable securities, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis is detailed in Note 6, Fair value measurements.

(d) Significant concentrations of credit risk

The Company held cash and cash equivalents of $97,811,000, marketable securities of $160,278,000 and restricted cash of $1,713,000 as of June 30, 2022. The cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are held with multiple banks and the Company monitors the credit rating of those banks. The Company maintains cash balances in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in the United States and the U.K. Government Financial Services Compensation Scheme in the United Kingdom. The Company’s investment policy limits investments to certain types of instruments, such as money market instruments, corporate debt securities and commercial paper, places restrictions on maturities and concentration by type and issuer and specifies the minimum credit ratings for all investments and the average credit quality of the portfolio.

The Company has three customers, which are Genentech, Astellas and GSK. There were accounts receivable of $2,382,000 as of June 30, 2022 and $752,000 as of December 31, 2021. The Company has been transacting with Genentech since 2021, Astellas since 2020 and GSK since 2014, during which time no impairment losses have been recognized. As of June 30, 2022, there were no overdue accounts receivable.

(e) New accounting pronouncements

To be adopted in future periods

Measurement of credit losses on financial instruments

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 - Financial Instruments - Credit losses, which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology for financial instruments in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The guidance is effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2020, including interim periods within that fiscal year. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10 which resulted in the postponement of the effective date of the new guidance for eligible smaller reporting companies (as defined by the SEC), including the Company, at that time to the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2023. The Company intends to adopt the guidance in the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2023. The guidance must be adopted using a modified-retrospective approach and a prospective transition approach is required for debt securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized before the effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08 – Business Combinations (Topic 805)- Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which improves the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination by addressing diversity in and inconsistency related to the following: (1) recognition of an acquired contract liability

Table of Contents

and (2) payment terms and their effect on subsequent revenue recognized by the acquirer. The amendments in this ASU resolve this inconsistency by requiring that an entity (acquirer) recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, in contrast to current GAAP which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, including contract assets and contract liabilities, are measured at fair value as of the acquisition date. For public business entities, including the Company, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company intends to adopt the guidance in the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2023. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 — Revenue

The Company had three revenue-generating contracts with customers in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to two in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. These are a collaboration and license agreement with GSK, a collaboration agreement with Astellas and a strategic collaboration and license agreement with Genentech.

Revenue comprises the following categories (in thousands):


	Three months ended				Six months ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021

Development revenue	$	5,538	$	3,095	$	9,113	$	3,529
	$	5,538	$	3,095	$	9,113	$	3,529

Deferred income decreased by $26,517,000 from $199,422,000 at December 31, 2021 to $172,905,000 at June 30, 2022 primarily due to a $20,234,000 decrease caused by the change in the exchange rate between pounds sterling and the U.S. dollar from £1.00 to $1.35 at December 31, 2021 to £1.00 to $1.21 at June 30, 2022.

As of December 31, 2021, there was deferred revenue of $199,422,000 of which $7,342,000 was recognized as revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2022, which was the primary cause of the remaining movement in deferred income in the period.

The aggregate amount of the transaction price that is allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied under the agreements as of June 30, 2022 was $348,414,000.

The Genentech Collaboration and License Agreement

The amount of the transaction price that is allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied under the Genentech agreement as of June 30, 2022 was $291,307,000. Of this amount $179,711,000 is allocated to the research services and rights granted for the initial ‘off-the-shelf’ collaboration targets, $92,751,000 is allocated to the research services and rights granted for the personalized therapies, $12,720,000 is allocated to the material rights to designate the additional ‘off-the-shelf’ collaboration targets, $4,900,000 is allocated to the material right for the first option to extend the research term and $1,225,000 is allocated to the material right for the option to extend the research term a second time.

The Company expects to satisfy the performance obligations relating to the initial ‘off-the-shelf’ collaboration targets and the personalized therapies as development progresses and recognizes revenue based on an estimate of the percentage of completion of the project determined based on the costs incurred on the project as a percentage of the total expected costs. The Company expects to satisfy the performance obligations relating to the material rights to designate additional ‘off-the-shelf’ collaboration targets from the point that the options are exercised and then as development progresses, in line with the initial ‘off-the-shelf’ collaboration targets, or at the point in time that the rights expire. The Company expects to satisfy the performance obligations relating to the material rights to extend the research term from the point that the options are exercised and then over period of the extension, or at the point in time that the rights expire.

The Astellas Collaboration Agreement

The amount of the transaction price that is allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied under the Astellas agreement as of June 30, 2022 was $55,881,000, of which $13,502,000 is allocated to the rights granted for each of the two independent Astellas targets, $8,159,000 is allocated to research services and rights granted under the co-exclusive license for the first co-development target, $14,200,000 is allocated to research services and rights granted under the co-exclusive license for the second co-development target and $6,518,000 is allocated to research services and rights under the co-exclusive license for the third co-development targets. The Company expects to satisfy the performance obligations relating to the three co-development targets as development progresses and recognizes revenue based on an estimate of the percentage of completion of the project determined based on the costs incurred on the project as a percentage of the total expected costs. The Company has determined that the performance obligations relating to the two independent Astellas targets would be recognized at a point-in-time, upon commencement of the licenses in the event of nomination of the target, since they are right-to-use licenses.

The GSK Collaboration and License Agreement

The Company estimates the fair value of available-for-sale debt securities with the aid of a third party valuation service, which uses actual trade and indicative prices sourced from third-party providers on a daily basis to estimate the fair value. If observed market prices are not available (for example securities with short maturities and infrequent secondary market trades), the securities are priced using a valuation model maximizing observable inputs, including market interest rates.

As of June 30, 2022, the securities in an unrealized loss position are not considered to be other than temporarily impaired because the impairments are not severe and have been for a short duration. Seven securities have been in an unrealized loss position for more than one year with a net total unrealized loss of $493,000. Furthermore, the Company does not intend to sell the debt securities in an unrealized loss position, believes that it has the ability to hold the debt securities to maturity, and it is unlikely that the Company will be required to sell these securities before the recovery of the amortized cost.
