About OXB
OXB (LSE: OXB) is a global quality and innovation-led contract development and manufacturing organisation (CDMO)incellandgenetherapywithamissiontoenableitsclientstodeliverlifechangingtherapiestopatients around the world.
One of the original pioneers in cell and gene therapy, OXB has 30 years of experience in viral vectors; the driving force behind the majority of cell and gene therapies. OXB collaborates with some of the world's most innovativepharmaceuticalandbiotechnologycompanies,providingviralvectordevelopmentandmanufacturing expertiseinlentivirus,adeno-associatedvirus(AAV),adenovirusandotherviralvectortypes.OXB’sworld-class
capabilitiesrangefromearly-stagedevelopmenttocommercialisation.Thesecapabilitiesaresupportedbyrobust quality-assurance systems, analytical methods and depth of regulatory expertise.
OXBoffersavastnumberoftechnologiesforviralvectormanufacturing,includinga4thgenerationlentiviralvector system (the TetraVecta™ system), a dual-plasmid system for AAV production, suspension and perfusion process using process enhancers and stable producer and packaging cell lines.
OXB, a FTSE 250 and FTSE4Good constituent, is headquartered in Oxford, UK. It has development and manufacturingfacilitiesacrossOxfordshire,UK,LyonandStrasbourg,France,BedfordMAandDurhamNC,US. Learn more at www.oxb.com and follow us on LinkedIn and YouTube.
In the first half of 2026, OXB continued to execute against its strategy, delivering strong commercial momentum whilstadvancingkeyoperationalinitiativesacrossitsglobalCDMOnetwork.OXBdelivered10%constantcurrency revenue growth year-on-year to £80.2 million and its revenue backlog, which stood at c.£193 million as at 30 June 2026, continues to support confidence in future revenue delivery. Approximately £168 million of forecast FY 2026 revenue is covered by contracted client orders (as at September 2026), supporting confidence in H2 2026 delivery and future growth.
The first half of 2026 marked a strong commercial start to the year for OXB, with the successful onboarding of a record 17 new clients across its global footprint, more than 30% above the total number of new clients signed during the whole of FY 2025. A further 4 new clients were signed post period end. Secured across all OXB geographies, these projects highlight the relevance and strength of OXB's global commercial model, which is differentiated, in part, by ongoing collaboration across its network of sites to deliver best outcomes for clients. Building on this success, OXB enters the remainder of 2026 with strong momentum and an increasingly diverse portfolio of client programmes, which together with its multi‑vector strategy set the foundation for long‑term growth.
Duringtheperiod,OXBalsomadeprogressinintegratingitsnewlyacquiredFDA-approved,commercial-scaleviral vectormanufacturingsiteinDurham,NC.Followingthepreviouslydisclosedsix-monthdelaytoDurham,NC,GMP implementation, the site is now back on track. GMP manufacturing capabilities are online, the first GMP run has been completed and client activity is expected to ramp up in H2 2026.
OXB’s commercial performance in H1 2026 demonstrates the increasing relevance of its global, multi-vector CDMO model. OXB's number of client programmes is at a record high at a total of 59 client programmes and50clients.Importantly,themixofopportunitiescontinuestomature,withagrowingproportionoflate-stageand commercial-stage programmes, supporting higher-quality long-term revenue potential, including the previously announcednewCommercialSupplyAgreementwithBristolMyersSquibbforlentiviralvectorssupportingBMS’ CAR-T portfolio.
The contracted value of client orders signed during the first half of 2026 totalled approximately £97 million, reflecting continued demand across OXB's global base of existing and new clients. While some clients are now taking a more staged approach to ordering work packages, thereby extending the time taken to realise the full value of contracts, OXB continues to see strong underlying demand from clients globally. This is reflected in the c.30% year-on-year increase in the non-risk-adjusted new business pipeline to c.$713 million. The pipeline has shownareducedconcentrationoflargeclientsandsignificantrepeatbusinessresultinginamorediversifiedand resilient pipeline. The Group's client programmes continue to mature, with the number of late stage programmes and commercial agreements growing from 7 to 9 since the time of the last half year report. This includes multiple clients preparing for Biologics License Application (BLA) filings, representing advanced programmes that are expected to progress into commercial-stage manufacture.
OXB continues to respond to market demand by tailoring its offerings to more effectively meet clients’ specific needs and strengthen its competitive positioning at the forefront of the CGT industry. In April 2026, OXB announcedthelaunchofitsnewfast-trackdevelopmentandmanufacturingoffering,providinganexpeditedroute toGMPmanufactureforclientsutilisinglentiviralandadeno-associatedviralvectors.OXB’sfast-trackprogramme for AAV vectors can accelerate the pathway to GMP manufacture from an industry standard of ~15 months to

During the period, OXB continued to advance its technology platforms and strengthen its position at the forefrontofviralvectorinnovation.InMarch2026,apeer-reviewedpaperrelatingtotheTetraVecta™systemwaspublished in Molecular Therapy Advances, providing further insights into OXB’s fourth-generation lentiviral vector whichoffers enhanced quality and safety. Additionally, OXB is making components of the TetraVecta™ system available to third parties developing new lentiviral vector-based products at the discovery stage through R&D evaluation agreements, supporting the wider application of these technologies.
OXBisalsoprogressinginitiativestoimprovetheefficiencyandqualityoflentiviralvectormanufacturing.Following thepublicationofareviewarticlebymembersoftheOXBteamonreplication-competentlentivirus(RCL)testingin Molecular Therapy Advances, OXB presented at the American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy (ASGCT) meeting in May 2026 and is initiating the RCV Assay Development Alignment Regulation (RADAR) network, which aims to bring together key stakeholders to develop a roadmap towards a risk-based approach to RCL testing, which could help accelerate batch release and reduce manufacturing costs.
As an innovative CDMO, OXB is constantly striving to improve its client offering. OXB is assessing further advances in the cell lines available for viral vector production across both its lentiviral and adeno-associated virus (AAV)platforms.Adualapproachisbeingundertaken,withthird-partycelllinesbeingevaluatedaswellasinternal screening, to identify potential improved production hosts for future manufacturing applications. Within its in vivo platform development programme, OXB has demonstrated the broad applicability of its existing manufacturing processes for the production of in vivo Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cells, lentiviral vectors and continuesto refine these processes to further enhance their application in this emerging area. OXB is also working with clients to help define target product attributes for in vivo applications, supporting the proactive development of manufacturing capabilities aligned with client requirements in this rapidly evolving field.
ThedatasciencesfunctionalsocontinuestosupportOXB'sdigitaltransformationandtheapplicationofartificial intelligence across the organisation, with several projects underway. These initiatives are expected to support future improvements in operational efficiency, innovation and data-driven decision-making across the business.
TheGroupcontinuedtostrengthenitsleadershipteamduringtheperiod,insupportofitsstrategicgrowthplansas a global, innovation-led cell and gene therapy CDMO.
Post-period end, Eric Schmidhäuser joined OXB as Chief Operating Officer in August 2026. Eric brings a wealth
of CDMO experience to the Group, leading operations across multiple countries and sites, including the successful acquisition and integration of four sites in Finland, France, UK and Norway while at NextPharma. Prior to NextPharma, Eric held senior leadership positions at Corden Pharma, Catalent and Gerresheimer, where he led business transformations, manufacturing excellence programmes and strategic growth initiatives. In his role as OXB's COO, Eric will lead global operations, supporting the Group's continued focus on operational excellence, manufacturing readiness and delivery of a world-class service to its clients.
In addition, post-period end, Dave Backer was appointed as the new Site Head of OXB's Durham, NC site. Dave previouslyservedasOXB'sChiefCommercialOfficerbetween2021and2022andhisdeepunderstandingofthe cellandgenetherapysector,combinedwithhisknowledgeofthebusinessanditsclients,positionhimwelltolead the Durham, NC site and deliver on the significant growth opportunity ahead for OXB in the US.
In the first half of 2026, OXB continued to build its scalable, multi-vector and multi-site CDMO platform capable of meeting growing client demand, from early development through to commercial manufacture.
As previously announced in August 2026, GMP implementation at the Durham, NC site experienced a six-month delay. Remedial actions have now been completed, GMP manufacturing capabilities are online, and the first GMP run has been completed. The site is already supporting business momentum, including a Phase III programme with a new client as well as the AAV manufacturing agreement with Plowshare Therapies signed during the period. With GMP manufacturing now transferred to Durham, NC, the Bedford, MA site has now successfully transitioned its focus to process and analytical development.
In the UK, planned increases in GMP manufacturing capacity were completed by refitting existing suites and modifying operating cadence during the first half of 2026. The scale-up of quality control capabilities and the expansion of lab capacity for development services have also been delivered as planned, supporting client progression from development activities into later-stage and commercial manufacturing.
In France, OXB's GMP manufacturing suites supporting both the AAV and lentivirus platforms are now fully qualified and GMP-ready. The 200L lentivirus technology transfer into the GMP facility has been successfully completed, with the remaining transfer activities progressing as planned. The first full-scale GMP manufacturing projects for both AAV and lentiviral vectors are scheduled for H2 2026. France also continues to expand its capabilities across a broader portfolio of viral vectors, including Vaccinia (adherent and suspension cell culture systems) and Measles virus, further strengthening OXB's multi-vector strategy.
Together, these developments create a more specialised, resilient and scalable global CDMO network which position OXB well to capture the market opportunity. OXB's end-to-end capabilities across key biotech hubs allow it to support clients from development to commercial supply across the US, UK and EU.
Guided by its Values, OXB continues to invest in its people and operate responsibly, ethically and with robust governance to create long-term value, resilience and trust for all stakeholders. OXB maintains strong ESG governance and oversight, through the ESGR Committee, with regular reporting to the Corporate Executive Team (CET) and the Board and active Board-level engagement through an Independent Non-Executive Director who drives sustainability objectives and progress monitoring. OXB remains on track to achieve its environmental targets and continues to strengthen its sustainability framework across the Group.

Additionally, an impairment assessment completed for France, resulted in a charge of £7.6m impairment of France property, plant and equipment. Aligned with our most recent trading update, the impairment in France is a result of lower near term revenue expectations; however, there is high conviction in the strength of the pipeline and management remains confident in the long-term growth potential in France.

–AnincreaseintheworkingcapitalimpactonTradeandotherreceivablesof£(2.4)millionfrom31December 2025 (H1 2025: £(9.3) million) to £74.0 million. This is driven by offsettting impacts of higher trade debtors due to the increased revenues, as well as increased prepayments due to software licencing payments offsetting lower contract assets due to comparative timing of completion of larger projects.
–AdecreaseinTradeandotherpayablesof(£9.6)millionfrom31December2025(H12025:of(£3.9)million) to £25.9 million due to lower accruals in the comparative period, this is offset by the impact of higher trade creditors as the sites prepare for the higher output in H2 2026.

Theguidance,asdisclosedwithintheAugust2026TradingUpdate,isreiteratedinfull,withtheGroupexpecting FY 2026 revenues of £180-200 million. FY 2026 EBITDA margin is expected to be mid-single-digit %, excluding one off costs (low-single-digit % on a reported basis).
The Group's revenue backlog stood at approximately £193 million as at 30 June 2026, providing meaningful visibility into future contracted revenues. Approximately £168 million of forecasted 2026 revenues are covered bycontractedclientorders(subjecttorevenueperformanceobligations)asatSeptember2026,providingstrong visibility for the remainder of the year.
Management will continue to drive cost discipline. Operating expense increases associated with strategic investmentsandincreasedcapacityarelimitedandtime-boundtoqualificationandramp-upactivities,witha focusonmarginexpansionasutilisationbuilds.H2isexpectedtobenefitfromareductioninworking capital.
With 2,217 cell and gene therapies in the clinical pipeline worldwide, up from 2,132 in Q1 2026 (ASGCT), the Group remains confident in the sector's strong fundamentals. OXB's non-risk-adjusted new business pipeline increasedc.30%year-on-yeartoc.$713million,reflectingbroadeningdemandandanincreasingproportionof late-stage and commercial-stage opportunities, which are expected to contribute to above-market growth.
Medium and long-term ambitions remain unchanged, supported by strong commercial momentum, expanding pipeline quality and continued cost discipline. Guidance for FY 2027 revenue growth remains 25-30% year-on-year, with significant improvement in profitability expected, including at least double-digit % EBITDA margins. ManagementwillcontinuetoexploreadditionalprofitabilitymeasurestofurtherenhanceEBITDAmargins.Capital expenditure, including strategic investments for future growth, is expected to be approximately £50 million in

£(26.9)million)andconsumednetcashflowsfromoperatingactivitiesfortheperiodof£(23.7)million.TheGroup ended the period with cash and cash equivalents of £75.3 million (31 December 2025: £96.9 million).
In considering the basis of preparation of the H1 2026 Report and half-year accounts, the Directors have prepared cashflowforecastsforaperiodof15monthsfromthedateofapprovalofthesefinancialstatements,basedonthe Group’s 2026 latest forecast and forecasts for 2027. The Directors have undertaken a rigorous assessment of the forecasts in a base case scenario and assessed identified downside risks and mitigating actions. These cash flow forecasts also take into consideration severe but plausible downside scenarios including:
•Commercialchallengesleadingtoasubstantialmanufacturinganddevelopmentrevenuedownsideaffecting both the LentiVector™ platform and AAV businesses.
•Considerablereductioninrevenuesfromnewclients.
•PotentialimpactsofadownturninthebiotechnologysectorontheGroupanditsclientsincludingexpected revenues from existing clients under long-term arrangements.
Underboththebasecaseandmitigateddownsidescenario,theGroupandCompanyhavesufficientcash resources to continue in operation for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.
In the event of all the downside scenarios above crystallising, the Group and Company would continue to comply withitscovenantsunderitsexistingloanfacilitywithOaktreebeyondDecember2027withouttakinganymitigating actions, but the Board has mitigating actions in place that are largely within its control that would enable the Group to reduce its spend within a reasonably short time-frame to increase the Group and Company’s cash covenant headroomasrequiredbytheloanfacilitywithOaktree.Specifically,theGroupwillcontinuetomonitorits performance against the base case scenario and if base case cash-flows do not crystallise, start taking mitigating actionsbytheendofQ42026whichmayincludereductionininvestments,rationalisationofsitesandrightsizing the workforce.
Inaddition,theBoardhasconfidenceintheGroupandCompany’sabilitytocontinueasagoingconcernforthe following reasons:
•Asnotedabove,theGrouphascashbalancesof£75.3millionattheendofJune2026.
•£168millionof2026forecastedrevenues(asatSeptember2026)arecoveredbycontractedclientorderswhich gives confidence in the level of revenues forecast over the next six months.
•TheGroup’sabilitytocontinuetobesuccessfulinwinningnewclientsandbuildingitsbrandasdemonstrated by successfully entering into new client agreements over the last six months.
•TheGrouphastheabilitytocontrolcapitalexpenditurecostsandlowerotheroperationalspend,as necessary.
Takingaccountofthemattersdescribedabove,theDirectorsareconfidentthattheGroupandCompanywillhave sufficient funds to continue to meet their liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.

£(26.9)million)andconsumednetcashflowsfromoperatingactivitiesfortheperiodof£(23.7)million.TheGroup ended the period with cash and cash equivalents of £75.3 million (31 December 2025: £96.9 million).
In considering the basis of preparation of the H1 2026 Report and half-year accounts, the Directors have prepared cashflowforecastsforaperiodof15monthsfromthedateofapprovalofthesefinancialstatements,basedonthe Group's 2026 latest forecast and forecasts for 2027. The Directors have undertaken a rigorous assessment of the forecasts in a base case scenario and assessed identified downside risks and mitigating actions. These cash flow forecasts also take into consideration severe but plausible downside scenarios including:
•Commercialchallengesleadingtoasubstantialmanufacturinganddevelopmentrevenuedownsideaffecting both the LentiVector™ platform and AAV businesses.
•Considerablereductioninrevenuesfromnewclients.
•PotentialimpactsofadownturninthebiotechnologysectorontheGroupanditsclientsincludingexpected revenues from existing clients under long-term arrangements.
Underboththebasecaseandmitigateddownsidescenario,theGroupandCompanyhavesufficientcash resources to continue in operation for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.
In the event of all the downside scenarios above crystallising, the Group and Company would continue to comply withitscovenantsunderitsexistingloanfacilitywithOaktreebeyondDecember2027withouttakinganymitigating actions, but the Board has mitigating actions in place that are largely within its control that would enable the
Group to reduce its spend within a reasonably short time-frame to increase the Group and Company’s cash covenantheadroomasrequiredbytheloanfacilitywithOaktree.Specifically,theGroupwillcontinuetomonitorits performance against the base case scenario and if base case cash-flows do not crystallise, start taking mitigating actions by the end of Q4 2026 which may include reduction in investments, rationalisation of sites and rightsizing the workforce.
Inaddition,theBoardhasconfidenceintheGroupandCompany’sabilitytocontinueasagoingconcernforthe following reasons:
Asnotedabove,theGrouphascashbalancesof£75.3millionattheendofJune2026.
•£168millionof2026forecastedrevenues(asatSeptember2026)arecoveredbycontractedclientorderswhich gives confidence in the level of revenues forecast over the next six months.
•TheGroup’sabilitytocontinuetobesuccessfulinwinningnewclientsandbuildingitsbrandasdemonstrated by successfully entering into new client agreements over the last six months.
•TheGrouphastheabilitytocontrolcapitalexpenditurecostsandlowerotheroperationalspend,as necessary.
Takingaccountofthemattersdescribedabove,theDirectorsareconfidentthattheGroupandCompanywillhave sufficient funds to continue to meet their liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.
The accounting policies, including the classification of financial instruments, applied in these interim financial statementsareconsistentwiththoseoftheannualfinancialstatementsfortheyearended31December2025,as described in those financial statements.

Management'sapproachandthekeyassumptionsusedtodeterminetheCGUFVLCODwereas follows:
The Group has assessed the FVLCODs through a discounted cash flow calculation to approximate the fair value abuyerwouldbewillingtopayfortheCGU.Thediscountedcashflowcalculationcalculatesthepresentvalueof theCGUtakingintoconsiderationtheforecastedcashflowsbasedontheBoardapprovedlongtermforecast,as well as the calculation of the terminal value at the end of the cash flow period. The assumptions in the model are consistent with the Group's long range plan applied on a respective basis to the CGUs.
KeyestimationuncertaintyinputswhichdirectlyimpacttheFVLCODwhichareconsistentacrossbothCGUsare assessed to be:
•Revenuegrowth-theaveragegrowthrates,includingtheabilityoftheCGUtoacquirenewclientsandincrease revenues from existing clients, are in line with the expected growth rates for a start-up CDMO entity over the initial growth period after which growth rates are brought down to more inflationary levels in line with overall expected growth for the Cell and Gene Therapy segment . These growth rates are suitable due to the nature
of both of the acquisitions, which although of established businesses, are expected to undergo significant transformation.ThisincludesutilisationofOXB'swidertechnologiesaspartoftheGroups'OneOXBstrategy and leverage the wider commercial relationships and infrastructure.
•Discount rate – the discount rate may be impacted by economic and market factors, as well as changes to the riskfreerateofreturnwhichimpactsdebtborrowingrates.ShouldthediscountratecalculatedbyManagement beadjusted,thismayimpacttheFVLCODoftheCGU.Management have calculated the post-tax discount rate of 11.6% based on the current risk free rate, the NASDAQ biotechnology Index’s expected rate of return and cost of debt adjusted for specific known cash flow risks for each CGU.
•Operationalexpenditureandcapitalexpenditure–thecashflowsarebasedontheManagementapproved forecasts. These forecasts may change in future or the actual results vary.
•EBITDA Exit multiple - is applied to the terminal value rather than a long term growth rate as this is deemed tobemoreaccurateasthemultipleembedsthemarketviewofthelong-growthpotential.Theterminalvalue multiple is based on available data on transactions for comparative CDMO companies.
The FVLCOD calculation on the OXB France CGU has been prepared based on an approved forecast of 6 years followed by the calculation of the terminal value. This is based on bringing the CGU to its full operational efficient outputgiventhestageofthematurityofthesite.AverageannualgrowthratesfortheCGUare35%. The CGU was tested for impairment at 30 June 2026, resulting in an impairment chargeof £7.6m (H1 2025: £nil), which has been allocated to property, plant and equipment on a pro-rata basis based on the carrying value of the fixed assets as a proportion of the total assets of the CGU, in line with the requirements ofIFRS.Aligned with our most recent trading update, the impairment in France is a result of lower near term revenue expectations; however, there is high conviction in the strength of the pipeline and management remains confident in the long-term growth potential in France.
The FVLCOD calculation on the OXB US CGU has been prepared based on an approved forecast of 12 years followedbythecalculationoftheterminalvalue.ThisisbasedonbringingtheCGUtoitsfulloperationalefficient output following the acquisition of the facility at Durham, NC. Average annual growth rates for the CGU are 37%.

Estimations
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within thenextfinancialyear,arediscussedbelow.Thenatureofestimationmeansthatactualoutcomescoulddifferfrom those estimates.
Percentageofcompletionofmanufacturingbatchrevenues
Manufacturingofclinical/commercialproductforclientsisrecognisedonapercentageofcompletionbasisover time as the processes are carried out. Progress is determined based on the achievement of verifiable stagesof the manufacturing process. Revenues are recognised on a percentage of completion basis and as such require judgement in terms of the assessment of the correct stage of completion including the expected costs of completion for that specific manufacturing batch. The value of the revenue recognised with regards to the manufacturing batches which remain in progress at period end is £41.9 million. If the assessed percentage

The interim financial statements included in the Press Release of Oxford Biomedica plc have been prepared in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority.
WeconductedourreviewinaccordancewithInternationalStandardonReviewEngagements(UK)2410,‘Reviewof Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity’ issued by the Financial Reporting Council for use in the United Kingdom (“ISRE (UK) 2410”). A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.
A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
WehavereadtheotherinformationcontainedinthePressReleaseandconsideredwhetheritcontainsanyapparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the interim financial statements.
Based on our review procedures, which are less extensive than those performed in an audit as described in the Basis for conclusion section of this report, nothing has come to our attention to suggest that the directors have inappropriately adopted the going concern basis of accounting or that the directors have identified material uncertaintiesrelatingtogoingconcernthatarenotappropriatelydisclosed.Thisconclusionisbasedonthereview procedures performed in accordance with ISRE (UK) 2410. However, future events or conditions may cause the group to cease to continue as a going concern.

Our conclusion, including our Conclusions relating to going concern, is based on procedures that are less extensive than audit procedures, as described in the Basis for conclusion paragraph of this report.
Thisreport,includingtheconclusion,has beenpreparedforandonlyforthecompanyforthepurposeofcomplying with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority and for no other purpose.
