Addex Therapeutics │ Unaudited Interim Condensed consolidated Financial statements │ Notes
Unaudited Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025
(Amounts in Swiss francs)
1. General information
Addex Therapeutics Ltd (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) are a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing a portfolio of novel small molecule allosteric modulators for neurological disorders.
The Company is a Swiss stockholding corporation domiciled c/o Addex Pharma SA, Chemin des Aulx 12, CH 1228 Plan-les-Ouates, Geneva, Switzerland and the parent company of Addex Pharma SA, Addex Pharmaceuticals France SAS and Addex Pharmaceuticals Inc. Addex Therapeutics also owns a 20% equity interest in Neurosterix US Holdings LLC, USA. Neurosterix US Holdings LLC fully owns directly Neurosterix Swiss Holdings AG, Switzerland and indirectly Neurosterix Pharma Sàrl whose principal place of business is Chemin des Mines 9, CH 1202 Geneva, Switzerland.
The Groups principal place of business is Chemin des Mines 9, CH 1202 Geneva, Switzerland. Its registered shares are traded at the SIX Swiss Exchange, under the ticker symbol ADXN and its American Depositary Shares (ADSs) on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol ADXN. ADSs represents shares that continue to be admitted to trading on SIX Swiss Exchange.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been approved for issuance by the Board of Directors on September 29, 2025.
2. Basis of preparation
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, have been prepared under the historic cost convention and in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” and are presented in a format consistent with the consolidated financial statements under IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. However, they do not include all of the notes that would be required in a complete set of financial statements. Thus, this interim financial report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of results anticipated for the full year. The preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements made in accordance with IAS 34 requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment which are significant to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are disclosed in note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
A number of new or amended standards and interpretations became applicable for financial reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025. Of the latter, the Group noted the amendment of IAS 21: The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange rates relating to the exchange rate of currencies that are not exchangeable. The Group concluded that this amendment was not relevant as the Group only uses major currencies. The Group is also assessing other new and revised standards which are not mandatory until after 2025 and noted that IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements will replace IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements - from January 1, 2027 and may impact the presentation and structure of the Group’s primary financial statements and related disclosures.
Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout these interim condensed consolidated financial statements may not add up precisely to the totals provided. All ratios and variances are calculated using the underlying amounts rather than the presented rounded amounts. Where necessary, comparative figures have been revised to conform with the current year 2025.

Addex Therapeutics │ Unaudited Interim Condensed consolidated Financial statements │ Notes
3. Material accounting estimates and judgments
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. These estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities or may have had a significant impact on the reported results are disclosed below:
Going concern
The Group’s accounts are prepared on a going concern basis. To date, the Group has financed its cash requirements primarily from share issuances, licensing certain of its research and development stage products and selling its allosteric modulator drug discovery technology platform with a portfolio of preclinical programs. The Group is a development-stage enterprise and is exposed to all the risks inherent in establishing a business. The Group expects that its existing cash and cash equivalents, at the issuance date of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements will be sufficient to fund its operations and meet all of its obligations as they fall due, through mid-June 2026. These factors individually and collectively indicate that a material uncertainty exists that raises substantial doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date of issuance of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The future viability of the Group is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital through public or private financings or collaboration agreements to finance its future operations, which may be delayed due to reasons outside of the Group’s control including health pandemics and geopolitical risks. The sale of additional equity may dilute existing shareholders. The inability to obtain funding, as and when needed, would have a negative impact on the Group’s financial condition and ability to pursue its business strategies. If the Group is unable to obtain the required funding to run its operations and to develop and commercialize its product candidates, the Group could be forced to delay, reduce or stop some or all of its research and development programs to ensure it remains solvent. Management continues to explore options to obtain additional funding, including through collaborations with third parties related to the future potential development and/or commercialization of its product candidates. However, there is no assurance that the Group will be successful in raising funds, closing collaboration agreements, obtaining sufficient funding on terms acceptable to the Group, or if at all, which could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
The Business of the Group could be adversely affected by health pandemics and geopolitical risks
The business of the Group could be adversely affected by health epidemics and geopolitical risks in regions where the Group or partners have concentrations of clinical trial sites or other business operations and could cause significant disruption in the operations of third-party manufacturers and CROs upon whom the Group or partners rely. Health pandemics may pose the risk that the Group, employees, contractors, collaborators, and partners may be prevented from conducting certain pre-clinical tests, clinical trials or other business activities for an indefinite period of time, including due to travel restrictions, quarantines, “stay-at-home” and “shelter-in-place” orders or shutdowns that have been or may in the future be requested or mandated by governmental authorities. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the business of the Group and clinical trials led by the Group or partners, including as a result of delays or difficulties in clinical site initiation, difficulties in recruiting and retaining clinical site investigators and clinical site staff and interruption of the clinical supply chain or key clinical trial activities, such as clinical trial site monitoring, and supply chain interruptions caused by restrictions for the supply of materials for drug candidates or other materials necessary to manufacture product to conduct clinical and preclinical tests. Geopolitical risks such as Russia-Ukraine war or Middle East conflict may create global security concerns including the possibility of an expanded regional or global conflict and potential ramifications such as disruption of the supply chain including research and development activities being conducted by the Group and its strategic partners. Delays in research and development activities of the Group and its partners could increase associated costs and, depending upon the duration of any delays, require the Group and its partners to find alternative suppliers at additional expense. In addition, Russia-Ukraine war has had significant ramifications on global financial markets, which may adversely impact the ability of the Group to raise capital on favorable terms or at all.

Discontinued operations, assets and liabilities held for sale related to the Neurosterix Transaction
On April 2, 2024, the Group sold a part of its business constituting its allosteric modulator drug discovery technology platform and a portfolio of preclinical programs (note 21). As a consequence, the Group recognized discontinued operations in the statements of profit or loss under “net profit or loss from discontinued operations” for the six month-period ended June 30, 2024, in accordance with IFRS 5. The Group identified as well, cash flows from discontinued operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 (note 21). The identification of discontinued operations may require some degree of judgement.
Fair value measurement of financial instruments
The Group measures its financial instruments at fair value at each reporting date. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell its financial asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, in the principal or most advantageous market, under current market conditions. Fair value measurements are categorized into three levels based on the degree to which inputs to the valuation techniques are observable:
| ● | Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets; |
| ● | Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are all observable, either directly or indirectly used to measure the fair value; |
| ● | Level 3: One or more of the significant inputs used to measure fair value is not based on observable market data. This is the case for unlisted equity securities or financial instruments where climate risk gives rise to a significant unobservable adjustment. |
The Group uses appropriate valuation techniques in the circumstances and maximizes the use of relevant observable inputs. The transfers between levels are assessed at the end of each reporting period.
Investments accounted for using the equity method
The Group received an equity interest of 20% in Neurosterix US Holdings LLC as part of the Neurosterix Transaction. The initial recognition of the investment has been accounted at a fair value based on a financial valuation of Neurosterix Group. This carrying amount has been decreased to recognize the share of loss of Neurosterix Group and tested for impairment whenever events, factors or changes in circumstances indicate that it may not be recoverable.
Financial assets at fair value through Other Comprehensive Income (OCI)
The financial assets at fair value through OCI relate to strategic investments made by the Group into early stage R&D companies. The Group made the irrevocable election to classify these strategic investments, that are not held for trading, at fair value through OCI. The valuation at fair value is based on prices paid by investors during recent fundings (note 23). At each closing, the investments are tested by the Group in order to reflect any change in value due to events, factors or changes in circumstances.
Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments relate to Phantom shares and Warrants received as part of the purchase of strategic investment. Derivative financial instruments are accounted at fair value through the statements of profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9, because they are considered as held for trading. The fair value is measured using the black Scholes and binomial valuation models (note 24). A number of assumptions related to the volatility of the underlying shares and to the risk - free rate are made in this model. Should the assumptions and estimates underlying the fair value of these instruments vary significantly from management’s estimates, then the fair value of the derivative financial instruments would be materially different from the amounts recognized. At each closing, the investments are tested by the Group in order to reflect any change in value due to events, factors or changes in circumstances.

Addex Therapeutics │ Unaudited Interim Condensed consolidated Financial statements │ Notes
Revenue recognition
Revenue is primarily from fees related to licenses, milestones and research services. Given the complexity of the relevant agreements, judgements are required to identify distinct performance obligations, allocate the transaction price to these performance obligations and determine when the performance obligations are met. In particular, the Group’s judgement over the estimated stand-alone selling price which is used to allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations is disclosed in note 16.
Grants
Grants are recorded at their fair value when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and recognized as income when the Group has satisfied the underlying grant conditions. In certain circumstances, grant income may be recognized before explicit grantor acknowledgement that the conditions have been met.
Accrued research and development costs
The Group records accrued expenses for estimated costs of research and development activities conducted by third party service providers. The Group records accrued expenses for estimated costs of research and development activities based upon the estimated amount of services provided, but not yet invoiced, and these costs are included in accrued expenses on the balance sheets and within research and development expenses in the statements of profit or loss. These costs are a significant component of research and development expenses. Accrued expenses for these costs are recorded based on the estimated amount of work completed in accordance with agreements established with these third parties. Due to the nature of estimates, the Group may be required to make changes to the estimates after a reporting period as it becomes aware of additional information about the status or conduct of its research activities.
Share-based compensation
The Group recognizes an expense for share-based compensation based on the valuation of equity incentive units using the Black-Scholes valuation model. A number of assumptions related to the volatility of the underlying shares and to the risk-free rate are made in this model. Should the assumptions and estimates underlying the fair value of these instruments vary significantly from management’s estimates, then the share-based compensation expense would be materially different from the amounts recognized.
Equity instruments
The group records in equity the pre-funded warrants sold to investors and the warrants granted to investors at a fair value calculated using Black-Scholes model. A number of assumptions related to the volatility of the underlying shares and to the risk - free rate are made in this model. Should the assumptions and estimates underlying the fair value of these instruments vary significantly from management’s estimates, then the fair value of the equity instruments would be materially different from the amounts recorded in equity at the grant date.
Pension obligations
The present value of the pension obligations is calculated by an independent actuary and depends on a number of assumptions that are determined on an actuarial basis such as discount rates, future salary and pension increases, and mortality rates. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount of pension obligations. The Group determines the appropriate discount rate at the end of each period. This is the interest rate that should be used to determine the present value of estimated future cash outflows expected to be required to settle the pension obligations. In determining the appropriate discount rate, the Group considers the interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related pension liability. Other key assumptions for pension obligations are based in part on current market conditions. Additional information is disclosed in note 15.
4. Interim measurement note
Seasonality of the business: The business is not subject to any seasonality, but expenses and corresponding revenue are largely determined by the phase of the respective projects, particularly with regard to external research and development expenditures.

Total other current assets increased by CHF 0.2 million as of June 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024 primarily due to higher prepayments driven by the Directors and Officers (D&O) insurance premium paid annually at the beginning of the year. The Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses (“ECL”), which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and other receivables. The Group has considered that the trade receivables and other receivables have a low risk of default based on historic loss rates and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the third parties to settle invoices. As a result, expected loss allowance has been deemed as nil as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The service agreement relates to staff and infrastructure provided by Neurosterix Pharma Sàrl at zero cost in accordance with the Neurosterix Transaction (note 21). The depreciation charge was recognized at the rate at which these services were provided. During the first half of 2025, this agreement was not formally renewed, but Neurosterix agreed to allow the Group to have access to some employees and infrastructure at zero cost. The fair value of the services received at zero cost has been recognized as other income and other operating expenses for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025, amounted to CHF 34,505 and CHF 105,560, respectively.

The total amount of payables, accruals and other current liabilities increased by CHF 0.3 million as of June 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024 mainly due to payables. The carrying amounts of payables do not materially differ from their fair values, due to their short-term nature.

16. Revenue from contract with customer
License & research agreement with Indivior PLC
On January 2, 2018, the Group entered into an agreement with Indivior for the discovery, development and commercialization of novel GABAB PAM compounds for the treatment of addiction and other CNS diseases. This agreement included the selected clinical candidate, ADX71441. In addition, Indivior agreed to fund a research program at the Group to discover novel GABAB PAM compounds.
The contract contains two distinct material promises and performance obligations: (1) the selected compound ADX71441 which falls within the definition of a licensed compound, whose rights of use and benefits thereon was transferred in January 2018 and, (2) the research services to be conducted by the Group and funded by Indivior to discover novel GABAB PAM compounds for clinical development that may be discovered over the research term of the agreement and selected by Indivior.
Indivior has sole responsibility, including funding liability, for development of selected compounds under the agreement through preclinical and clinical trials, as well as registration procedures and commercialization, if any, worldwide. Indivior has the right to design development programs for selected compounds under the agreement. Through the Group’s participation in a joint development committee, the Group reviews, in an advisory capacity, any development programs designed by Indivior. However, Indivior has authority over all aspects of the development of such selected compounds.
Under terms of the agreement, the Group granted Indivior an exclusive license to use relevant patents and know-how in relation to the development and commercialization of product candidates selected by Indivior. Subject to agreed conditions, the Group and Indivior jointly own all intellectual property rights that are jointly developed and the Group or Indivior individually own all intellectual property rights that the Group or Indivior develop individually. The Group has retained the right to select compounds from the research program for further development in areas outside the interest of Indivior including chronic cough. Under certain conditions, but subject to certain consequences, Indivior may terminate the agreement.
In January 2018, the Group received, under the terms of the agreement, a non-refundable upfront fee of USD 5.0 million for the right to use the clinical candidate, ADX71441, including all materials and know-how related to this clinical candidate. In addition, the Group is eligible for payments on successful achievement of pre-specified clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones totaling USD 330 million and royalties on net sales of mid-single digits to low double-digits. On February 14, 2019, Indivior terminated the development of their selected compound, ADX71441. Separately, Indivior funds research at the Group, based on a research plan to be mutually agreed between the parties, to discover novel GABAB PAM compounds. These future novel GABAB PAM compounds, if selected by Indivior, become licensed compounds. The Group agreed with Indivior to an initial research term and duration of two years with a funding of USD 4 million over the period for the Group’s R&D costs incurred, that can be extended by twelve-month increments. R&D costs are calculated based on the costs incurred in accordance with the contract. Following Indivior’s selection of one newly identified compound, the Group has the right to also select one additional newly identified compound. The Group is responsible for the funding of all development and commercialization costs of its selected compounds and Indivior has no rights to the Group’s selected compounds. The initial two-year research term was expected to run from May 2018 to April 2020. In 2019, Indivior agreed to an additional research funding of USD 1.6 million, for the research period. On October 30, 2020, the research term was extended until June 30, 2021 and Indivior agreed to additional research funding of USD 2.8 million. Effective May 1, 2021, the research term was extended until July 31, 2022 and Indivior agreed additional research funding of CHF 3.7 million, of which CHF 2.7 million was paid to the Group and CHF 1.0 million paid directly by Indivior to third party suppliers that are supporting the funded research program. In August 2022, the research agreement was extended until March 31, 2023 and Indivior agreed to additional research funding of CHF 0.85 million. The reserved indications, where Addex retains exclusive rights to develop its own independent GABAB PAM program, have also been expanded to include chronic cough. Effective November 1, 2022, the research term was extended until June 30, 2023 and Indivior agreed to additional research funding of CHF 0.95 million. Effective July 1, 2023, the research agreement with Indivior has been extended until June 30, 2024 and Indivior committed additional research funding of CHF 2.7 million including CHF 1.1 million paid to the Group and CHF 1.6 million paid directly by Indivior to third party suppliers that are supporting the funded research program. On August 27, 2024, Indivior selected a compound for future development in substance use disorder and undertakes all future development of their selected compound. Under the terms of the agreement, the Group has also exercised its right to select a compound to advance its own independent GABAB PAM program for the treatment of chronic cough.

21. Discontinued operations
On February 8, 2024, the Group signed a non-binding term sheet with Perceptive Advisors related to the divestment of part of its business. On April 2, 2024, the sale became effective. The allosteric modulator drug discovery technology platform and a portfolio of preclinical programs have been divested to a new Swiss company, Neurosterix Pharma Sàrl that has received committed funding of USD 65 million from a syndicate of investors led by Perceptive Advisors (Perceptive Xontogeny Venture Fund II L.P, Perceptive Life Sciences Master Fund Ltd and Acorn Bioventures 2, L.P) (the “Neurosterix Transaction” or “Transaction”) from April 2, 2024 to the issuance date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Group received gross proceeds of CHF 5.0 million in cash and an equity interest representing 20% of Neurosterix US Holdings LLC (note 1). The Group retained its partnerships with Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Indivior PLC, as well as unpartnered clinical stage assets including dipraglurant for Parkinson’s disease and post-stroke/TBI recovery and its preclinical GABAB PAM program for chronic cough. The Transaction includes the transfer of the associated R&D staff and infrastructure. As part of the Transaction, the Group and Neurosterix Pharma Sàrl entered into a service agreement which provides the Group with access to certain staff and infrastructure at zero cost to ensure the operation of the Group retained business until December 31, 2024. In 2025, this agreement was not formally renewed, but Neurosterix agreed to allow the Group to have access to some employees and infrastructure at zero cost (note 10).

23. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
In June 2025, the Group invested CHF 795,029 in Stalicla SA and received 23,342 preferred shares with attached derivative financial instruments (note 24). The purchase price allocation was performed on the basis of the fair value of the derivative financial instruments, with the residual amount allocated to the preferred shares, initially recognized at CHF 285,962. The Group has made the irrevocable election to classify the 23,342 preferred shares received at fair value through other comprehensive income rather than through the statements of profit or loss, as the shares are held for strategic purposes and not for trading.
As of June 30, 2025, the fair value of the unlisted securities of Stalicla SA (level 3) remained unchanged:

24. Derivative financial instruments
As part of its investment in 23,342 preferred shares of Stalicla SA executed in June 2025 (note 23), the Group was granted several related financial instruments. These comprised an anti-dilution protection through a ratchet mechanism, 23,342 phantom shares entitling the Group to proceeds equivalent to those distributable to 23,342 ordinary shares, 23,342 warrants with a ten-year exercise period at a strike price of CHF 34.05 to purchase 23,342 ordinary shares and 3,591 warrants with a five-year exercise period, a strike price of CHF 0.10 to purchase 3,591 preferred shares. These financial instruments are classified as derivatives and valued at fair value (level 3) using black Scholes and binomial valuation models. On initial recognition, their aggregate fair value amounted to CHF 509,067. The fair value of phantom shares was capped at the fair value of the preferred shares, as the Management concluded that the two values should be deemed equivalent. As a result, an amount of CHF 111,552 was not recorded as phantom shares as of June 30, 2025.
As of June 30, 2025, the fair value (level 3) of these derivative financial instruments, driven by the value of Stalicla SA shares (note 23), remained unchanged:

Exhibit 99.2
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
We are a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on the development of a portfolio of novel orally available small molecule drug candidates. Our business comprises of a pipeline of proprietary clinical and preclinical stage drug candidates that are being developed by our partners and internally. We or our partners are developing these clinical and preclinical stage proprietary drug candidates for diseases for which there are no approved therapies or where improved therapies are needed including post-stroke sensorimotor recovery, traumatic brain injury, or TBI, recovery, substance use disorder, or, SUD, and chronic cough. We also hold a 20% equity interest in a spin out company, Neurosterix US Holdings LLC, a private company developing a portfolio of preclinical stage proprietary drug candidates for schizophrenia, mood disorders and cognition.
Our lead development compound is dipraglurant, a metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5 negative allosteric modulator, or mGlu5 NAM, currently under evaluation for future development in post-stroke/TBI recovery. On April 30, 2025, we announced entering into an option and collaboration agreement with Sinntaxis AB for an exclusive license to intellectual property covering the use of mGlu5 inhibitors for the treatment of brain injury recovery. The agreement also includes a research collaboration under which the Sinntaxis team will complete evaluation of dipraglurant for the treatment of brain injury recovery.
Our second development compound, ADX71149 is a novel orally active metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 2 positive allosteric modulator, or mGlu2 PAM. On July 22, 2024, we announced that our Partner Janssen terminated the development of drug candidate ADX71149, because the Phase 2 study did not achieve statistical significance for the primary endpoint. On April 17, 2025, we announced that our partner Janssen terminated our partnership agreement and returned to us the program including all related intellectual property to the Group. We are currently evaluating the future development of ADX71149.
Our third development program is GABAB PAM for substance use disorders. In 2024, we completed a funded research program to discover novel gamma-aminobutyric acid subtype-b positive allosteric modulators, or GABAB PAMs, for Indivior PLC, or Indivior. On August 27, 2024, Indivior selected a compound for future development in substance use disorder and undertakes all future development of their selected compound. On May 12, 2025, we announced that our partner, Indivior, had successfully completed IND enabling studies with their selected compound.
Our fourth development program is GABAB PAM for chronic cough. Under the terms of the agreement with Indivior, we have exercised our right to select a compound to advance our own independent GABAB PAM program for the treatment of chronic cough. On June 6, 2025, we announced robust anti-tussive activity of our selected compound in multiple preclinical models of chronic cough compared to reference drugs and are currently completing preclinical evaluation.
We cannot forecast with any degree of certainty which proprietary products or indications, if any, will be subject to future collaborative arrangements, in whole or in part, and how such arrangements would affect our development plan or capital requirements. To date, we have secured grants and other funding from government and non-governmental organizations. As we advance our clinical and preclinical programs, we will continue to apply for subsidies, grants and government or agency sponsored studies that could offset or reduce our development costs.
The development and commercialization of drugs is highly competitive. We compete with a variety of multinational pharmaceutical companies and specialized pharmaceutical companies, including products approved for marketing and/or drug candidates under development, for each of the drug candidates and each of the indications for which we are developing. Furthermore, government authorities in the United States, at the federal, state and local levels, and in other countries, extensively regulate, among other things, the research, development, testing, manufacture, packaging, storage, recordkeeping, labeling, advertising, promotion, distribution, marketing, import and export of pharmaceutical products, such as those we are developing. The processes for obtaining regulatory approvals in the United States and in foreign countries, along with subsequent compliance with applicable statutes and regulations, require the expenditure of substantial time and financial resources.
We were founded in May 2002 and completed our initial public offering of shares on the SIX Swiss Exchange in May 2007. On January 29, 2020, we listed American Depositary Shares (ADSs) representing our shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market following the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) having declared our registration statements on Forms F-1 and F-6 effective.
1
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
On October 6, 2023, we filed a post-effective amendment to the form F-6 in Addex Therapeutics in order to change our ADS ratio from one ADS to six shares to a new ratio of one ADS to one hundred and twenty shares. The ADS ratio change has been effective since October 23, 2023 and had the same effect as a one to twenty ADS reverse split. The ADS ratio change had no impact on the Company’s underlying shares and was intended to enable the Company to regain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement of ADSs. On November 8, 2023, the company announced that it had received a written notification from Nasdaq confirming that the compliance had been regained.
Our operations to date have included organizing and staffing our company, raising capital, out-licensing rights to our research stage programs including our mGlu2 PAM and GABAB PAM programs and conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials.
As of June 30, 2025, we have generated CHF 66.8 million of revenue from the sale of license rights and conducting funded research activities for certain of our research programs. We have historically financed our operations mainly through the sale of equity. Through June 30, 2025, we had raised an aggregate of CHF 356.1 million of gross proceeds from the sale of equity.
We have incurred losses for a total amount of CHF 356.7 million since our inception. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, we incurred a net loss of CHF 3.3 million. During the same period ended June 30, 2024, we reported a net profit amounting to CHF 9.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the sale of a part of our business (Neurosterix Transaction). We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses in the medium to long term. We anticipate that our expenses will increase significantly in connection with our ongoing and future activities as we:
| ● | continue to invest in our portfolio of preclinical and clinical stage programs; |
| ● | hire additional research and development, and general and administrative personnel; |
| ● | maintain, expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio; |
| ● | identify and in-license or acquire additional drug candidates; and |
| ● | incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company in the United States. |
We will need substantial additional funding to support our operating activities as we advance our research and drug candidates through clinical development, seek regulatory approval and prepare for commercialization, if any, of our product candidates are approved. Adequate funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.
We have no manufacturing facilities, and all of our manufacturing activities are contracted out to third parties. Additionally, we currently utilize third-party contractors to carry out a significant proportion of our research and development activities. Furthermore, we do not yet have a sales organization.
The Neurosterix Transaction
On April 2, 2024, we divested our allosteric modulator discovery platform and a portfolio of pre-clinical programs to a new Swiss company, Neurosterix Pharma Sàrl (equivalent to an LLC), focused on the discovery and development of novel orally available allosteric modulator drug candidates, including M4 PAM for schizophrenia, mGlu7NAM for stress related disorders and mGlu2NAM for mild neurocognitive disorders. In connection with the Transaction, we received gross proceeds of CHF 5.0 million and a 20% equity interest in Neurosterix US Holdings LLC, the parent company of Neurosterix Pharma Sàrl. Neurosterix US Holdings LLC received a total of USD 65.0 million in funding commitments from a syndicate of investors led by Perceptive Advisors from April 2, 2024 to the issuance date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
The divestment of our discovery platform and early-stage programs includes the transfer of the associated research and development staff, with a service agreement to allow key members of staff to support us in achieving our business strategy at zero cost for us. During the first half of 2025, this agreement was not formally renewed, but Neurosterix agreed to allow the Group to have access to some employees and infrastructure at zero cost.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
License Agreement with Indivior
In January 2018, we entered into an agreement with Indivior for the discovery, development and commercialization of novel GABAB PAM compounds for the treatment of addiction and other CNS diseases. This agreement included the selected clinical candidate, ADX71441. In addition, Indivior agreed to fund a research program at Addex to discover novel GABAB PAM compounds.
Indivior has sole responsibility, including funding liability, for development of selected compounds under the agreement through preclinical and clinical trials, as well as registration procedures and commercialization, if any, worldwide. Indivior has the right to design development programs for selected compounds under the agreement. Through our participation in a joint development committee, we review, in an advisory capacity, any development programs designed by Indivior. However, Indivior has authority over all aspects of the development of such selected compounds.
Under terms of the agreement, we have granted Indivior an exclusive license to use relevant patents and knowhow in relation to the development and commercialization of drug candidates selected by Indivior. Subject to agreed conditions, Addex and Indivior jointly own all intellectual property rights that are jointly developed, and Addex or Indivior individually own all intellectual property rights that Addex or Indivior develop individually. Addex has retained the right to select compounds from the research program for further development in areas outside the interest of Indivior including chronic cough. Under certain conditions, but subject to certain consequences, Indivior may terminate the agreement.
In January 2018, under terms of the agreement, we received a non-refundable upfront fee of USD 5.0 million for the right to use the clinical candidate, ADX71441, including all materials and know-how related to this clinical candidate. On February 14, 2019, Indivior terminated the development of their selected compound, ADX71441.
Separately, Indivior funded research at Addex, based on a research plan to mutually agreed between the parties, to discover novel GABAB PAM compounds. These future novel GABAB PAM compounds, if selected by Indivior, become licensed compounds. We agreed with Indivior to an initial research term and duration of two years with a funding of USD 4.0 million over the period for our R&D costs incurred, that can be extended by twelve-month increments. Following Indivior’s selection of one newly identified compound, Addex has the right to also select one additional newly identified compound. Addex was responsible for the funding of all development and commercialization costs of its selected compounds and Indivior has no rights to the Addex selected compounds. The initial two-year research term ran from May 2018 to April 2020. In 2019, Indivior agreed to additional research funding of USD 1.6 million and on October 30, 2020, the research term was extended until June 30, 2021 and Indivior agreed to further additional research funding of USD 2.8 million. Effective May 1, 2021, the research term was extended until July 31, 2022 and Indivior agreed additional research funding of CHF 3.7 million, of which CHF 2.7 million has been paid to us, and CHF 1.0 million paid directly by Indivior to third party suppliers that supported the funded research program. In August 2022, the research agreement was extended until March 31, 2023 with additional research funding of CHF 0.85 million. The reserved indications, where Addex retains exclusive rights to develop its own independent GABAB PAM program, were also expanded to include chronic cough. Effective November 1, 2022 the research term was extended until June 30, 2023 and Indivior agreed to additional research funding of CHF 0.95 million. Effective July 1, 2023, the research term was extended until June 30, 2024 and Indivior agreed to additional research funding of CHF 2.7 million including CHF 1.1 million received directly by us and CHF 1.6 million paid directly by Indivior to third party suppliers that are supporting the funded research program.
On August 27, 2024, Indivior selected a compound for future development in substance use disorders and now undertake all future development of their selected compound. Under the terms of the agreement, we have also exercised our right to select a compound to advance our own independent GABAB PAM program for the treatment of chronic cough. Under the license agreement, we are as well eligible for payments on successful achievement of pre-specified clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones totaling USD 330 million. In addition, we are eligible for tiered royalties from high single digits to low double digits on net sales of applicable products on a country-by country-basis. The term of the royalty for each licensed product in any particular country commences on such product’s launch and ends on the latest of ten -year anniversary of launch, expiration of certain applicable patent rights, and expiration of certain applicable marketing or data exclusivity periods.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The contract contains two distinct material promises and performance obligations: (1) the selected compound ADX71441 which falls within the definition of a licensed compound, whose rights of use and benefits thereon was transferred in January 2018 and, (2) the research services to be conducted by Addex and funded by Indivior to discover novel GABAB PAM compounds for clinical development that may be discovered over the research term of the agreement and selected by Indivior.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
From the beginning of January 2017 through June 30, 2025, we recognized CHF 18.8 million as revenue primarily under our license agreement with Indivior. We do not have approval to market or commercialize any of our drug candidates, we have never generated revenue from the sale of products and we do not expect to generate any revenue from product sales for the foreseeable future. Prior to approval of a drug candidate, we will seek to generate revenue from a combination of license fees, milestone payments in connection with collaborative or strategic relationships, royalties resulting from the licensing of our drug candidates and payments from sponsored research and development activities as well as grants from governmental and non-governmental organizations.
Revenue from collaborative arrangements comprises the fair value for the sale of products and services, net of value added tax, rebates and discounts. Revenue from the rendering of services is recognized in the accounting period in which the services are rendered, by reference to completion of the specific transaction assessed on the basis of the actual service provided as a proportion of the total service to be provided. Revenue from collaborative arrangements may include the receipt of non-refundable license fees, milestone payments, and research and development payments. When we have continuing performance obligations under the terms of the arrangements, non-refundable fees and payments are recognized as revenue by reference to the completion of the performance obligation and the economic substance of the agreement.
Our revenue has varied, and we expect revenue to continue to vary, substantially from year to year, depending on the structure and timing of milestone events, as well as our development and commercialization strategies and those of our collaboration partners for our drug candidates. We, therefore, believe that historical period to period comparisons are not meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indicator of our future revenue and performance potential.
Other Income
From the beginning of January 2017 through June 2025, we recognized CHF 1.9 million as other income including CHF 1.2 million relating to grants from The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, or MJFF, to finance certain clinical activities related to dipraglurant development in Parkinson’s disease levodopa-induced dyskinesia, or PD-LID, and other discovery activities.
In July 2019, we received a grant from Eurostars/Innosuisse for CHF 0.5 million to support our mGlu7 NAM program totally recognized as income as of December 31, 2021. The mGlu7 NAM program has been transferred to Neurosterix Pharma Sàrl on April 2, 2024.
In September 2023, we received a grant from Eurostars/Innosuisse for CHF 0.5 million to support the mGlu2 NAM program of which CHF 0.3 million were received in December 2023. We recognized CHF 38,401 from January 1, 2024 to April 2, 2024, the date when the program was transferred to Neurosterix Pharma Sàrl and recorded as discontinued operations. The remaining funds and deferred income of CHF 0.3 million recorded as assets and liabilities held for sale as of April 2, 2024 have been transferred to Neurosterix Pharma Sàrl.
Grants are recognized at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and that we will comply with all associated conditions. Grants relating to costs are recognized as other income in the statements of profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, we recognized the fair value of services received from Neurosterix Group at zero cost for CHF 0.1 million as other income and other operating expenses.

Operating Expenses
Research and Development Costs
From the beginning of January 2017 through June 2025, we incurred CHF 67.4 million in research and development costs. They consist mainly of direct research costs, which include costs associated with the use of contract research organizations, or CROs, and consultants hired to assist on our research and development activities, personnel costs, share-based compensation for our employees and consultants, costs related to regulatory affairs and intellectual property, as well as depreciation for assets used in research and development activities. Following the Neurosterix Transaction executed on April 2, 2024, research and development costs no longer include personnel costs and share-based compensation for employees.
The research and development costs related to divested activities have been recognized in the statements of profit or loss under “Net loss from discontinued operations” from January 1, 2024 to the sale of a part of our business on April 2, 2024. We currently use our consultants and CRO’s across our research and development programs.
The following table provides a breakdown of our outsourced research and development costs that are directly attributable to the specified programs for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

Our research and development expenses are low due to the Neurosterix Transaction. We have no ongoing self-funded clinical studies and in the medium and long term, our expenses may increase, particularly as we continue to the development of a GABAB PAM drug candidate, initiate further clinical trials and seek marketing approval for our drug candidates.
At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate or know the nature, timing and estimated costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete the development of our drug candidates. We are also unable to predict when, if ever, material net cash inflows will commence from sales of our drug candidates. This is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with developing such drug candidates, including:
| ● | uncertainty related to discovering clinical candidates; |
| ● | uncertainty related to efficiently manufacturing and distributing drug products; |
| ● | competitor intellectual property restraining our freedom to operate; and |
| ● | timing of initiation, completion and outcome of further clinical trials; |
In addition, the probability of success for any of our drug candidates will depend on numerous factors, including competition, manufacturing capabilities and commercial viability. A change in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of any of our drug candidates would significantly change the costs, timing and viability associated with the development of that drug candidate.

General and Administrative Costs
General and administrative costs consist primarily of personnel costs, including salaries, benefits and share-based compensation cost for our employees as well as corporate facility costs not otherwise included in research and development expenses, legal fees related to corporate matters and fees for accounting and financial or tax consulting services. Our general and administrative costs are lower due to the Neurosterix Transaction.
Finance Result, Net
Finance result net consists mainly of currency exchange differences, primarily related to U.S dollar currency exchange differences.
Net loss from discontinued operations
Net loss from discontinued operations has been recognized in the statements of profit or loss under “net loss from discontinued operations”. It primarily relates to research and development costs, general and administrative costs and finance result incurred from January 1, 2024 to the sale of a part of our business executed on April 2, 2024.
Share of net loss of investments accounted for using the equity method
We received an equity interest of 20% in Neurosterix US Holdings LLC as part of the Neurosterix Transaction. The equity interest has been recognized as an investment at fair value based on a financial valuation of Neurosterix Group. The carrying amount of the investment is going to be increased or decreased to recognize the share of profit or loss of Neurosterix Group and tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it may not be recoverable.

Capital Resources
Since our inception through June 30, 2025, we have generated CHF 66.8 million of revenue and have incurred net losses and negative cash flows from our operations. We have funded our operations primarily through the sale of equity. From inception through June 30, 2025, we raised an aggregate of CHF 356.1 million of gross proceeds from the sale of equity.
We have also raised gross proceeds of CHF 5.0 million and acquired a 20% equity interest in Neurosterix US Holdings LLC as part of the Neurosterix Transaction executed on April 2, 2024. As at June 30, 2025, we had CHF 2.3 million in cash and cash equivalents.
Our primary uses of cash are to fund operating expenses, which consist mainly of research and development expenditures and associated general and administrative costs. Cash used to fund operating expenses is impacted by the timing of when we pay these expenses, as reflected in the changes in our outstanding accounts payable and accrued expenses. We currently have no ongoing material financing commitments, such as lines of credit or guarantees.
In the medium and long term, we expect an increase of our expenses compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, as we continue the development of our GABAB PAM chronic cough drug candidate, initiate further clinical trials and seek marketing approval for our drug candidates.
In addition, if we obtain marketing approval for any of our drug candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to program sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution to the extent that such sales, marketing and distribution are not the responsibility of potential collaborators. Accordingly, we will need to obtain substantial additional funding in connection with our continuing operations. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our research and development programs or future commercialization efforts.
10
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We expect our existing cash and cash equivalents at the issuance date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through mid - June 2026. Our future viability is dependent on our ability to monetize our intellectual property portfolio and /or raise additional capital though public or private financings that may dilute existing shareholders. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
| ● | the scope, progress, results and costs of our ongoing and planned preclinical study for our GABAB PAM chronic cough drug candidate; |
| ● | the timing and amount of milestone and royalty payments we may receive under our license agreements; |
| ● | the extent to which we out-license, in-license, sell or acquire other drug candidates and technologies; |
| ● | the number and development requirements of other drug candidates that we may pursue; |
| ● | the costs, timing and outcome of regulatory review of our drug candidates; |
| ● | cost associated with finding alternative suppliers due to geopolitical events such as the ongoing war in Ukraine; |
| ● | the costs associated with building out our operations; and |
| ● | the costs and timing of future commercialization activities, including drug manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution, for any of our drug candidates for which we receive marketing approval. |
Identifying potential drug candidates and conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials is a time-consuming, expensive and uncertain process that takes many years to complete, and we may never generate the necessary data or results required to obtain marketing approval and achieve product sales. In addition, our drug candidates, if approved, may not achieve commercial success. Our revenue, if any, will be derived from sales of products that we do not expect to be commercially available for many years, if at all.
Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenue, we may finance our cash needs through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, your ownership interest will be diluted, and the terms of any additional securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a shareholder. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends.
If we raise funds through additional collaborations, strategic alliances or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or drug candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market drug candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.

Operating activities of continuing activities
Net cash flows from or used in operating activities consist of the net loss from continuing operations adjusted for changes in net working capital (current assets less current liabilities), and for non-cash items such as depreciation, the value of share-based services and changes in post-employment benefits.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, operating activities used CHF 1.0 million of cash primarily due to our continued net loss of CHF 3.4 million in continuing operations partially offset by a decreased net working capital of CHF 0.3 million and non-cash items of CHF 2.1 million primarily related to the share of the net loss of Neurosterix’s Group for CHF 2.1 million.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, continuing operating activities used CHF 2.0 million of cash primarily due to our net loss from continuing operations of CHF 2.2 million and an increased net working capital of CHF 0.4 million partially offset by the share of the net loss of Neurosterix’s Group of CHF 0.5 million and non-cash items of CHF 0.2 million including share-based services of CHF 0.1 million and depreciation of intangible assets of CHF 0.1 million.

Ad Hoc Announcement Pursuant to Art. 53 LR
Geneva, Switzerland, September 30, 2025 - Addex Therapeutics (SIX and Nasdaq: ADXN), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing a portfolio of novel small molecule allosteric modulators for neurological disorders, today reported its half-year and second quarter financial results for the periods ended June 30, 2025, and provided a corporate update.
“We have seen great progress in the first six months of 2025, both in terms of drug candidate development and achieving business milestones. In particular, progress continues well and on track with our GABAB PAM drug candidate in chronic cough. We also presented positive data from the cough program, achieved in multiple preclinical models, at the prestigious American Cough conference. We also regained rights to our Phase 2 mGlu2 PAM asset, ADX71149, for which we are evaluating next steps for the program internally,” said Tim Dyer, CEO of Addex. “Solidifying our position to use mGlu5 NAMs in brain injury, we entered an option agreement with Sinntaxis to gain access to additional intellectual property in the field. Our plan is to explore further the clinical activity of dipraglurant in this indication. Our partner, Indivior, has advanced its GABAB PAM clinical candidate through IND enabling studies, providing additional validation of our allosteric modulation approach. We also led a financing in Stalicla, a Swiss company pioneering a precision medicine approach for neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders. Following the spin-out of Neurosterix last year, this investment continues to underscore our commitment to advancing innovative treatments for CNS disorders.”

Financial Summary:
Income decreased by CHF 0.2 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the completion of the R&D collaboration phase of our agreement with Indivior.
R&D expenses decreased by CHF 0.2 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to lower GABAB PAM outsourced R&D expenses related to our R&D collaboration agreement with Indivior.
G&A expenses decreased by CHF 0.4 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to reduced legal fees.
The net result decreased by CHF 13.1 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to gross proceeds of CHF 14.0 million from the sale of a part of our business executed on April 2, 2024 and recognized as discontinued operations. During the same period ended June 30, 2025, the net loss from continuing operations increased by CHF 1.2 million primarily due to an increased share of loss from the investment in Neurosterix US Holdings accounted for using the equity method since April 2, 2024.
Basic and diluted loss per share amounted to CHF 0.03 per share for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 compared to a basic and diluted profit per share of CHF 0.10 for the same period ended June 30, 2024.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased to CHF 2.3 million at June 30, 2025, compared to CHF 3.8 million at June 30, 2024. The decrease of CHF 1.5 million between June 30, 2025 and June 31, 2024 is primarily due to operating activities.
