•our commercialization, marketing and manufacturing capabilities and strategy for AUCATZYL, including our ability to successfully recruit and retain sales and marketing personnel and to successfully build the market for AUCATZYL;
•our expectations about the willingness of healthcare providers to recommend AUCATZYL to people with adult r/r B-ALL;
•the impacts of public health crises and their effects on our operations and business, including interruption of key clinical trial activities, such as clinical trial site monitoring, access to capital, and potential disruption in the operations and business of third-party manufacturers, clinical sites, contract research organizations (“CROs”), other service providers and collaborators with whom we conduct business;
•our expectations regarding our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection and our ability to license additional intellectual property relating to our product candidates from third parties and to comply with our existing license agreements;
•our plans to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize our product candidates;
•the potential benefits of our commercial product and product candidates;
•the timing or likelihood of regulatory filings and approvals for our product candidates, along with regulatory developments in the US, EU, U.K. and other foreign countries;
•the size and growth potential of the markets for our commercial product and product candidates, if approved, and the rate and degree of market acceptance of our commercial product and product candidates, including reimbursement that may be received from payors;
•our need for and ability to obtain additional funding, on favorable terms or at all;
•our plans to collaborate, or statements regarding our current collaborations with BioNTech SE (“BioNTech”) and others;
•our license and option agreement with BioNTech (the “BioNTech License and Option Agreement”), including our potential to receive milestone payments and royalties under the agreement;
•our ability to attract collaborators with development, regulatory and commercialization expertise;
•our ability to identify, recruit and retain qualified employees and key personnel;
•our ability to contract with third-party suppliers and manufacturers and their ability to perform adequately;

•additional costs and expenses related to our decision to voluntarily comply with certain U.S. domestic issuer reporting obligations before we are required to do so; and
•any other factors which may impact our financial results or future trading prices of our ADSs, and the impact of securities analysts’ reports on these prices.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements relate to our strategy, future operations, future financial position, future revenue, projected costs, prospects, plans, objectives of management and expected market growth, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors including, without limitation, risks, uncertainties and assumptions regarding the impact of macroeconomic events, including inflation, changes in interest rates, tariffs, changes in trade policies, political changes, general market conditions and the impacts of the war in Ukraine, conflicts in the Middle East and Europe, and global geopolitical tensions, on our business, operations, strategy, goals and anticipated timelines, our ongoing and planned preclinical activities, our ability to initiate, enroll, conduct or complete ongoing and planned clinical trials, our timelines for regulatory submissions and our financial position that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

AUTOLUS THERAPEUTICS PLC
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Note 1. Nature of the Business
Autolus Therapeutics plc (with its subsidiaries, collectively, “Autolus” or the “Company”) is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company developing next-generation programmed T cell therapies for the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases. Using its broad suite of proprietary and modular T cell programming technologies, the Company is engineering precisely targeted, controlled and highly active T cell therapies that are designed to better recognize target cells, break down their defense mechanisms and attack and kill these cells. The Company believes its programmed T cell therapies have the potential to be best-in- class and to offer patients substantial benefits over the existing standard of care, including the potential for cure in some patients.
On November 8, 2024 Autolus was notified by the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) that its biologics license application (“BLA”) was approved, allowing for the marketing of AUCATZYL (obecabtagene autoleucel, also known as obe-cel) in the United States for the treatment of adult patients (18 years and older) with r/r B-ALL. The first sale of AUCATZYL in the United States occurred in January 2025.
The United Kingdom Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency granted AUCATZYL conditional marketing authorization in April 2025. In November 2025, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence recommended AUCATZYL for use in the National Health Service (“NHS”) in England and Wales as a treatment option for adult patients (age 26 and older) with r/r B-ALL. We launched AUCATZYL in the United Kingdom in January 2026, and it is available through routine commissioning by the NHS.
In July 2025, the European Commission granted marketing authorization for AUCATZYL in adult patients (age 26 and older) with r/r B-ALL. Evaluation of potential pricing and feasibility of market entry opportunities in certain EU countries is ongoing. At this time, the EU launch, including launch in Germany, is on hold. The Company did not generate any EU product revenue of AUCATZYL in 2025 and does not anticipate any EU product revenue in 2026.
Autolus is registered in England and Wales. Its registered office is The MediaWorks, 191 Wood Lane, London, W12 7FP, United Kingdom.
The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, development by competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations and the ability to secure additional capital to fund operations. The Company’s product candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts, including preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval, prior to commercialization. The Company also expects to incur significant additional costs as it expands its commercialization efforts for AUCATZYL. These efforts will require significant amounts of capital, as well as additional personnel, infrastructure, and compliance capabilities. Even if the Company’s product development efforts for obe-cel and its other product candidates are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will become profitable.
The Company is a public limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales, and qualifies as a “foreign private issuer,” as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act, and, therefore, is not subject to the same requirements that are imposed upon United States domestic issuers by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company has decided to voluntarily file periodic reports, such as annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K on United States domestic issuer forms, which are more detailed and extensive in certain respects, and which must be filed more promptly than the forms currently required for foreign private issuers. Although the Company has voluntarily chosen to file periodic reports and current reports on United States domestic issuer forms, the Company has maintained its status as a foreign private issuer and is not subject to certain other requirements imposed on United States domestic issuers.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and are presented in US dollars. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2025, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those discussed in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on March 27, 2026 (the “Annual Report”). The information included in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in the Annual Report.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2026, and the results of its operation for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, and cash flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026. The interim results and cash flows are not necessarily indicative of results and cash flows that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026.
Going Concern
In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40, Going Concern, the Company has evaluated whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
The Company has incurred recurring losses since its inception, including net losses of $71.6 million and $70.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $1,458.4 million and $1,386.8 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Notwithstanding these conditions, based on its cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $130.9 million and $98.5 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2026, together with its forecasted operating plan, the Company expects that its existing financial resources will be sufficient to fund its operations for at least one year from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Accordingly, management has concluded that there are no conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
In performing this assessment, the Company prepared cash flow forecasts for the one-year period from the date of issuance, which reflect management’s current operating plan and expectations. These forecasts include assumptions regarding increases in product revenues and gross margin, cost reductions resulting from the restructuring actions announced in April 2026, and expected timing of cash inflows from R&D tax credits, including the R&D tax credit claimed by the Company in its corporate tax return for the accounting period to December 2023 that is subject to ongoing discussions with the United Kingdom tax authority. These assumptions are subject to uncertainty due to numerous factors, including the Company’s limited sales history following its recent product launches in the U.S. and U.K., it’s ability to obtain cost reductions, and other factors outside the Company’s control. While management believes these assumptions are reasonable, actual results may differ, and the Company may use its cash resources sooner than currently expected.
The Company has historically funded its operations primarily through the issuance of equity securities, licensing and collaboration arrangements, and other strategic financing transactions. The Company expects to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future as it advances the development, approval, and commercialization of its product candidates. While the Company may require additional capital to support its operating plans and achieve profitability, such funding is not expected to be required to meet its obligations as they become due within one year from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements - Continued

Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements include, but are not limited to, the accrual for research and development expenses, income taxes and present value of liabilities related to future royalties and milestones, net including the related interest expense and cumulative catch-up adjustment, incremental borrowing rates related to the Company’s leased properties, and the estimated expected rebate and chargeback percentage for revenue deductions related to product revenue, net. Estimates are periodically reviewed in light of changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segment Information
The Company’s Executive Committee, which includes its Chief Executive Officer, is its chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”). The CODM manages the Company’s operations on an integrated basis for the purpose of appropriately allocating resources. When evaluating the Company’s financial performance, the CODM reviews total revenue, total expenses and expenses by function and makes decisions using this information on a global basis. The Company and the CODM view the Company’s operations and manage its business as a single operating and reportable segment, which is the business of developing and commercializing CAR T therapies.
Product revenue, net
Product revenue
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, the Company’s product revenue, net was solely comprised of sales of AUCATZYL in the U.S. The Company uses Cardinal Health 105, LLC (“Cardinal Health”) as an agent to deliver the Company’s product, AUCATZYL, to Authorized Treatment Centers (“ATC”). The ATCs are responsible for the treatment of the patient including infusion of the product which occurs in two separate doses. Cardinal Health is obligated to pay the Company for the product upon the delivery and acceptance of the product at the ATC within standard payment terms. The ATC is obligated to pay Cardinal Health for the product upon receipt and acceptance of the product and is entitled to a credit in certain circumstances, including when the patient is not administered one or both doses.
During the three-months ended March 31, 2026, the Company launched AUCATZYL in the U.K. Consequently, the Company's product revenue, net now includes sales of AUCATZYL in the U.S. and U.K. AUCATZYL is available through the National Health Service (“NHS”) and private treatment centers.
The Company accounts for product revenues pursuant to the provisions of ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration, if any; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration to which it is entitled in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer.
The Company has determined that the patient is the customer in the arrangement pursuant to ASC 606. The Company has identified a single performance obligation, which is satisfied when the patient has received its second (final) dose of the product, and it records an accounts receivable on the balance sheet when product sales are invoiced and the final dose of the product has been administered to the patient.
Gross-to-net deductions
Product revenue, net of gross-to-net deductions, is recognized only to the extent that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized is not probable of occurring when the uncertainty associated with gross-to-net deductions is subsequently resolved. In the United States, product revenue is recognized net of estimated rebates and chargebacks, patient travel assistance and patient co-pay assistance deductions. These deductions to product revenue are referred to as gross-to-net deductions and are estimated and recorded in the period in which the related product revenue occurs. Currently there are no such deductions for sales outside of the United States.

Rebates and chargebacks
Rebates and chargebacks are based on contractual arrangements or statutory requirements and include amounts due to payors and healthcare providers under various programs. These amounts may vary by payor and individual plans. Providers qualified under certain programs can purchase the Company’s products through the Company’s third-party logistics partner at a discount. The Company’s third-party logistics partner then charge the discount back to the Company.
In the United States, rebates and chargebacks are estimated primarily based on product sales, including pricing, historical and estimated payor mix, setting of care and discount rates, among other inputs, which require significant estimates and judgment. The Company assesses and updates its estimates each reporting period to reflect actual claims and other current information.
In the United States, the chargebacks the Company participates in for covered entities under the 340B Program, the Department of Defense (DoD), and the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA), whereby pricing on products is extended below list price to participating entities. These entities purchase products at the lower program price then charge the Company the difference between their acquisition cost and the lower program price. The price differential is accrued for as part of the gross to net liabilities and will be reflected as a reduction to accounts receivable, net when actual chargeback is processed and applied. Currently there are no such chargebacks for sales outside of the United States.
In the United States, the rebates the Company participates in are state government Medicaid programs and the TriCare program. All discounts and rebates provided through these programs are included in the Company’s Medicaid and TriCare rebate accrual. The estimated amount of unpaid or unbilled rebates are recognized and presented as a liability. Currently there are no such rebates for sales outside of the United States.
Patient Co-Pay Assistance
The Company may provide co-pay or other financial assistance to patients, such as travel and lodging reimbursement, which are treated as consideration payable to a customer and recorded as a reduction to product sales based on an estimate of the amounts to be paid at the time revenue is recognized.
Foreign Currency Translation
The reporting currency of the Company is in U.S. dollars. The Company has determined that its functional currency of the ultimate parent company, Autolus Therapeutics plc, is British Pound Sterling. The functional currency of each subsidiary’s operations is the applicable local currency. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Translation adjustments are not included in determining net income (loss) but are included in foreign currency translation to other comprehensive loss, a component of shareholders’ equity.
The Company recorded foreign exchange losses of $2.7 million and foreign exchange gains of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which are included in foreign exchange (losses) gains, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Note 6. Fair Value Measurements
The Company uses valuation approaches that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in the following levels:
• 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 reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
The following tables present information about the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the level of the fair value hierarchy utilized to determine such fair values (in thousands):

The Company estimates the fair value of available-for-sale debt securities using actual trade and indicative prices sourced from third-party providers on a daily basis to estimate the fair value. If observable market prices are not available (such as for securities with short maturities and limited second market activity), the securities are priced using a valuation model that maximizes the use of observable inputs, such as market interest rates.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company did not have non-financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025, there were no transfers between fair value levels.

Note 14. Share-Based Compensation
2025 Employee Share Purchase Plan
In May 2025, the Company’s board of directors adopted the 2025 Employee Share Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan” or “ESPP”), which became effective upon approval by the Company’s shareholders in June 2025. The following description of the Purchase Plan is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Purchase Plan. Subject to adjustment for certain changes in the Company’s capitalization, the maximum number of Shares (as defined therein) that may be issued under the Purchase Plan is 3,000,000. The Purchase Plan includes both (i) a 423 Component (as defined therein), which is intended to be used to grant rights to purchase Shares which qualify as options issued under an “employee stock purchase plan” as that term is defined in Section 423(b) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and (ii) a Non-423 Component (as defined therein), which is intended to be used to grant rights to purchase Shares which do not qualify for such treatment under the Code. The UK Sharesave Sub-Plan has been adopted as a sub-plan to the Purchase Plan. The Sharesave is a UK “all employee” share option plan, which is intended to satisfy the requirements of Schedule 3 of ITEPA for tax qualifying save-as-you-earn share options plans. The Purchase Plan, including any sub-plans, is administered by the Company’s board of directors, which may delegate such administration to a committee comprised of one or more members of the board. The plan administrator has the power, subject to the provisions of the Purchase Plan, to determine when and how rights to purchase the Company’s shares will be granted, the provisions of each offering of such rights (which need not be identical), and whether employees of any of Autolus parent or subsidiary companies will be eligible to participate in the Purchase Plan. The Company has not yet initiated any purchase periods or granted shares under the ESPP as of March 31, 2026.
2025 Inducement Plan
The Company’s 2025 Inducement Plan (the “2025 Inducement Plan”) became effective on March 27, 2025 and, in accordance with Nasdaq listing rules and the SEC requirements, provides for issuance of inducement equity awards to qualifying individuals in connection with their entering into employment with the Company or its affiliates. Awards granted under the 2025 Inducement Plan will not exceed 3,000,000 ADSs, representing an equal number of ordinary shares. Equity awards granted under the 2025 Inducement Plan generally vest in the same manner as other Company share option awards, with 25% of the share option awards vesting one year after the vesting commencement date and the remainder of the awards vesting in equal monthly installments over three additional years. Restricted share unit awards under the 2025 Inducement Plan generally vest in four equal annual installments.

In November 2021, the upfront payment of $50.0 million was paid by Blackstone upon execution of the Blackstone Collaboration Agreement. In December 2022, two Blackstone Development Payments were paid by Blackstone of $35.0 million each as a result of (i) the joint steering committee’s review of the Company’s interim analysis of pivotal FELIX Phase 2 clinical trial of obe-cel in r/r B-ALL and (ii) achievement of a pre-agreed manufacturing milestone as a result of completion of planned activities demonstrating the performance and qualification of the Company’s obe-cel’s manufacturing process. On November 8, 2024, the Company was notified by the FDA that the Company has been granted marketing approval for AUCATZYL for the treatment of adult patients (18 years and older) with r/r B-ALL. The remaining $30.0 million of Blackstone Development Payments due upon such approval were paid to the Company in December 2024.

Obe-cel Product Revenue Interest
Under the BioNTech License and Option Agreement, BioNTech has agreed to financially support the expansion of the clinical development program for, and planned commercialization of obe-cel. In exchange for the grant of rights to future revenues from the sales of obe-cel products, BioNTech made an upfront payment to the Company of $40.0 million. The Company will pay BioNTech a low single-digit percentage of annual net sales of obe-cel products, which may be increased up to a mid-single digit percentage in exchange for milestone payments of up to $100.0 million in the aggregate on achievement of certain regulatory events for specific new indications upon BioNTech’s election. The Company has accounted for the Obe-cel Product Revenue Interest as a liability primarily due to the Company’s significant continuing involvement in generating the royalty stream. In February 2024, the Company initially recognized the BioNTech Liability at $38.3 million being the face value less debt issuance costs.

AUTOLUS THERAPEUTICS PLC
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements - Continued

The carrying amount of the Blackstone Collaboration Liability and BioNTech Liability is based on the Company’s estimate of the future royalties to be paid to Blackstone and BioNTech over the life of the arrangement as discounted using an effective interest rate. The excess or deficit of estimated present value of future royalties over the initial carrying amount, is recognized using the cumulative catch-up method within interest expense using the initial effective interest rate. The imputed rate of interest on the unamortized portion of the Blackstone Collaboration Liability and BioNTech Liability was approximately 15.80% and 28.70% as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
On a quarterly basis, the Company assesses the amount and timing of expected royalty payments using a combination of internal projections and forecasts from external sources. To the extent the present value of such payments is greater or less than its initial estimates or the timing of such payments is materially different than its original estimates, the Company will adjust the amortization of the BioNTech Liability using the cumulative catch-up method.

Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies
License Agreements
In September 2014, the Company entered into the UCLB License Agreement. In connection with the UCLB License Agreement, the Company is required to make annual license payments and may be required to make payments to UCLB upon the achievement of specified milestones, including upon regulatory approval for obe-cel. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, $0.8 million was paid or payable to UCLB by the Company, relating to the income allocable to the value of the sublicensed intellectual property rights and royalties.
On July 18, 2025, the Company was notified by the European Commission that the Company has been granted marketing approval for AUCATZYL (obecabtagene autoleucel) for the treatment of adult patients (26 years and older) with r/r B-ALL which triggered a £6.0 million regulatory milestone payment that was paid by the Company in accordance with the UCLB License Agreement n the third quarter of 2025.
Contractual obligations
In previous periods, the Company has entered into agreements with certain advisory firms. The Company is obligated to make specified payments upon the achievement of certain strategic transactions involving the Company. There were no fees paid or payable to strategic advisory firms during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
The Company has estimated the probability of the Company achieving each potential milestone in relation to the agreements with UCLB and its agreements with certain advisory firms in accordance with ASC 450. The Company considers regulatory approval, commercial milestones and execution of collaboration agreements probable when actually achieved. Furthermore, the Company recognizes expenses for clinical milestones when their achievement is deemed probable. The Company concluded that as of March 31, 2026, there were no other milestones for which the likelihood of achievement was currently probable.

Capital Commitments
As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s unconditional purchase obligations for capital expenditures totaled $1.3 million and included signed orders for capital equipment and capital expenditures for construction and related expenditures relating to its properties in the United Kingdom and the United States. The Company expects to incur the full amount of these obligations within one year.
Master Supply Commitments
As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s unconditional purchase obligations with Miltenyi Biotec GmbH for reagents and consumables totaled $1.1 million, which the Company expects to incur within one year.
On January 21, 2026, the Company, entered into a Master Service Agreement with AGC Biologics S.p.A (“AGC”) for the manufacture and supply of lentiviral vector (the “AGC Agreement”), a raw material which is used in Company’s manufacture of CAR-T products for clinical and commercial use. The AGC Agreement replaces and supersedes the prior arrangement between the Company and AGC, pursuant to which AGC has provided similar products and services.

26

AUTOLUS THERAPEUTICS PLC
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements - Continued

The Agreement sets forth the general terms and conditions applicable to AGC’s provision of products and services to the Company; specific projects will be set forth in individual work orders executed separately by the parties. The AGC Agreement contains customary provisions regarding order placement and fulfillment, governance, regulatory support, change management, risk allocation, intellectual property, and confidentiality. The AGC Agreement runs for a fixed term of ten years, and may be terminated by either party for default, or by the Company upon written notice (subject, in the latter case, to the payment of certain fees by the Company). The AGC Agreement is non-exclusive with respect to each party. However, under the Agreement and the initial statement of work thereunder, the Company has committed to purchase a minimum of 14 batches of lentiviral vector during the first two calendar years of the term, and to purchase a minimum value of EUR 25 million of products and services during the subsequent five-year period. The AGC Agreement also provides AGC with the first right to negotiate with the Company regarding the provision of new manufacturing activities in relation to obe-cel.
BioNTech Agreements
BioNTech License and Option Agreement - Product Options gain contingency
As the Product Options within the BioNTech License and Option Agreement were an embedded feature within a freestanding financial instrument, the Company assessed if the Product Options should be accounted for as a derivative under ASC 815. However, the Company determined the Product Options met the scope exception for derivative accounting under ASC 815 and therefore should be accounted for a gain contingency under the scope of ASC 450. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Product Options were not exercised and, therefore, no amounts were recognized. Refer to Note 15, “Liabilities related to future royalties and milestones, net” for further details about the BioNTech Agreements.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company may be a party to litigation or subject to claims incident to the ordinary course of business. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company due to defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. The Company was not a party to any litigation and did not have contingency reserves established for any liabilities as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Indemnification Agreements
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide for general indemnification. The Company’s exposure under these agreements is unknown because they involve claims that may be made against the Company in the future. To date, the Company has not paid any claims or been required to defend any action related to its indemnification obligations. However, the Company may record charges in the future as a result of these indemnification obligations.
In accordance with the indemnification agreements entered into with relevant individuals in accordance with the Company’s Articles of Association, the Company has indemnification obligations to its directors, officers and members of senior management for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits, while they are serving at the Company’s request in such capacity. There have been no claims to date under these indemnification agreements, and the Company has director and officer insurance that may enable it to recover a portion of any amounts paid for future potential claims.
SME Research and Development (R&D) tax credit
In the accounting period to December 2023, based on the relevant tax legislation, the Company met the conditions of the research and development (“R&D”) intensive scheme, and therefore submitted its corporate tax return on this basis. This is subject to agreement by the United Kingdom tax authority. The tax authority’s non-statutory guidance includes some expenditure in the calculation of whether a company meets the R&D intensive scheme, which is in conflict with the criteria in the tax legislation. The position is uncertain and the legislation is currently untested in the United Kingdom courts. The Company is engaged in ongoing discussions with the United Kingdom tax authority regarding the R&D tax credit claimed by the Company in its corporate tax return for the accounting period to December 2023. If the Company’s claim under the R&D intensive scheme is unsuccessful, there will be a material reduction in the value of the tax credit obtained (18.6% as opposed to 26.97% net benefit), and certain amounts claimed by the Company may be disallowed. However, in that instance, the Company expects that normal U.K. small and medium enterprise (“SME”) relief will be available. The Company recorded a research and development claims receivable of $17.0 million within prepaid expenses and other current assets utilizing the net benefit of 18.6%. These funds have not yet been received. Should the uncertainty be resolved in the Company’s favor, this would result in a gain and would be accounted for as a gain contingency under the scope of ASC 450. This uncertainty only applies to one accounting period.

Note 20. Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent events through May 14, 2026, the date on which these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.
Reduction in force
On April 29, 2026, Autolus Therapeutics plc (the “Company”) announced its Board of Directors approved a plan to improve operational efficiency and reduce operating expenses. This plan will implement a reduction in force whereby the Company will eliminate approximately 13% of the Company’s workforce, inclusive of employee-related actions that began in the second half of 2025.
The Company anticipates that it will complete the implementation of the plan by the third quarter of 2026. Affected employees will be offered separation benefits, including severance payments and, where applicable, temporary healthcare coverage assistance. The Company estimates that it will incur total expenses relating to the realignment of approximately $8 million, consisting of severance and termination-related costs. The Company expects to record a significant portion of these charges in the first half of 2026. During the year ended December 31, 2025 and the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized $2.4 million and $1.2 millon, respectively, in severance and other termination-related costs. The cumulative severance and other termination related costs recognized as of March 31, 2026, are included within the expected total costs of $8 million.
The estimate of costs that the Company expects to incur related to the workforce reduction and the timing thereof are subject to a number of assumptions and actual results may differ. The Company may also incur additional costs not currently contemplated due to events that may occur as a result of, or that are associated with, the actions described above.

Overview
We are a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company developing next-generation programmed T cell therapies for the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases. Using our broad suite of proprietary and modular T cell programming technologies, we are engineering precisely targeted, controlled and highly active T cell therapies that are designed to better recognize target cells, break down their defense mechanisms and attack and kill these cells. We believe our programmed T cell therapies have the potential to be best-in-class and to offer patients substantial benefits over the existing standard of care, including the potential for cure in some patients.
Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we incurred net losses of $71.6 million and $70.2 million, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $1,458.4 million and $1,386.8 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
As of March 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $130.9 million and marketable securities of $98.5 million. Based on our current clinical development and commercialization plans, we believe our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund our current and planned operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report. This forecast of cash resources is forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties, and the actual amount of our revenues and expenses, which we have based on assumptions that may prove to be wrong and could prove to be significantly higher than we currently anticipate, could vary materially and adversely as a result of a number of factors. Management does not know whether additional financing will be on terms favorable or acceptable to us when needed, if at all. If adequate additional funds are not available when required, or if we are unsuccessful in entering into partnership agreements for further development of our product candidates, management may need to curtail its development efforts and planned operations.

Recent Developments
AUCATZYL launch:
•We reported net product revenue, net of $26.2 million for three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $9.0 milion for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
•We launched AUCATZYL in the U.K. in January 2026 and it is now available under routine commissioning.
•Data from the Real-World Outcomes Collaborative for CAR T in Adult ALL (“ROCCA”) consortium database evaluating patient characteristics, toxicity and response after real-world administration of AUCATZYL was presented at the TANDEM meeting in February 2026. Real-world data show consistency in both safety and efficacy compared to the FELIX clinical trial that was the basis for regulatory approvals. The ROCCA Consortium registry covered approximately 60% of U.S. commercial patients at a data cutoff of January 2026.
Obe-cel clinical updates:
Obe-cel data in pediatric r/r B-ALL
•The Phase 2 portion of the ongoing CATULUS Phase 1 trial of obe-cel in pediatric relapsed or refractory (r/r) B-ALL patients is underway and we expect to report data at the end of 2027. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) has granted regenerative medicine advanced therapy (“RMAT”) designation to obe-cel for the treatment of pediatric patients with r/r B-ALL.
Obe-cel in lupus nephritis (“LN”)
•Data from the Phase 1 CARLYSLE trial in patients with severe refractory systemic lupus erythematosus (“srSLE”) supported progression of obe-cel as a treatment for LN and selection of the recommended Phase 2 dose of 50 million cells. Following alignment with the FDA on a potential registrational path to approval, the pivotal LUMINA Phase 2 trial is enrolling, and we expect to report data in 2028.
Obe-cel in progressive multiple sclerosis (“MS”)
•We have advanced obe-cel into initial clinical development to explore treatment in progressive MS. The Phase 1 BOBCAT trial, expected to include up to 18 adult patients, is enrolling and will determine the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of obe-cel in participants with refractory progressive forms of MS. We expect to report initial data from the trial at the end of 2026 and full data in 2027.
AUTO8 in AL-Amyloidosis
▪The first patient was dosed in the ongoing Phase 1 ALARIC trial evaluating AUTO8 in light-chain amyloidosis, and initial data is expected to be reported at the end of 2026.
Early-stage pipeline programs and collaborations:
•Our translational programs with University College London (“UCL”) continue to fuel our early-stage pipeline, providing a cost-efficient path to development.
•In November 2025, Moderna announced that the first patient has been dosed in a Phase 1/2 study of mRNA-2808, an investigational mRNA-based T-cell engager for participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. mRNA-2808 utilizes our proprietary binder that was licensed to Moderna in 2022.
Reduction in force:
•In April 2026, we announced a strategic initiative and plan to improve operational efficiency and reduce operating expenses. As part of this plan, we are implementing a reduction in force affecting approximately 13% of its existing overall workforce, impacting all areas of the business. The actions are expected to reduce operating expenses by approximately $15 million on an annualized basis beginning in 2027. As a result of the reorganization, which includes employee-related actions taken beginning in the second half of 2025, we expect to incur total restructuring charges of approximately $8 million, consisting primarily of employee severance and related costs, the majority of which will be recognized in the first half of 2026. The implementation of the workforce reduction plan is expected to be complete by the third quarter of 2026.

Components of Our Results of Operations
Product Revenue, Net
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, our product revenue comprised of sales of AUCATZYL in the U.S. In the U.S., we use Cardinal Health as an agent to deliver our product, AUCATZYL, to ATCs. The ATCs are responsible for the treatment of the patient including administration of the product which occurs in two separate doses. Cardinal Health is obligated to pay us for the product upon the delivery and acceptance of the product at the ATC within standard payment terms. The ATC is obligated to pay Cardinal Health for the product upon receipt and acceptance of the product and is entitled to a credit, in certain circumstances, including when the patient is not administered one or both doses. In November 2025, the NICE recommended AUCATZYL for use in the NHS in England and Wales as a treatment option for adult patients (age 26 and older) with r/r B-ALL. The first sale of AUCATZYL in the United Kingdom occurred in January 2026.
During the three-months ended March 31, 2026, we launched AUCATZYL in the U.K. Consequently, our product revenue, net comprised of sales of AUCATZYL in the U.S. and U.K. AUCATZYL is available in the U.K. through the NHS and private treatment centers.
In July 2025, the European Commission granted marketing authorization for AUCATZYL in adult patients (age 26 and older) with r/r B-ALL. Evaluation of potential pricing and the feasibility of market entry opportunities in certain EU countries is ongoing; consequently, the commercial launch in Germany is currently on hold. We did not generate any EU product revenue from AUCATZYL in 2025 and do not anticipate any EU product revenue in 2026.
We have determined that the patient is the customer pursuant to ASC 606 in the arrangement. We have identified a single performance obligation which is satisfied when the patient has received its final dose of the product. We record an accounts receivable on the balance sheet when product sales are invoiced and the final dose of the product has been administered to the patient.
Product revenue, net of gross-to-net deductions, is recognized only to the extent that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized is not probable of occurring when the uncertainty associated with gross-to-net deductions is subsequently resolved. Product revenue is recognized net of estimated rebates and chargebacks, patient travel assistance and patient co-pay assistance deductions. These deductions to product revenue are referred to as gross-to-net deductions and are estimated and recorded in the period in which the related product revenue occurs. Refer to Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” for further details on our product revenue, net accounting policy.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales represents production costs including raw materials, employee-related expenses, including salaries, related benefits, travel and share-based compensation expense for employees engaged in commercial manufacturing functions, external manufacturing costs including outsourced professional expenses services, allocated facilities costs, depreciation and other expenses, royalties payable to third-parties and other costs incurred in bringing inventories to their location and condition prior to sale. Cost of sales also includes the cost of all commercial product which is recognized as cost of goods sold upon final administration to the patient, any cancelled orders, and product related to the patient access program. Cost of sales may also include costs related to excess or obsolete inventory adjustment charges and amortization expense of intangible assets.
Cost of sales for a newly launched product does not include the full cost of manufacturing until the initial pre-launch raw materials inventory is depleted. Thus, the cost of sales as a percentage of net sales of AUCATZYL for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was affected by use of the initial pre-launch raw materials inventory, which was previously expensed as research and development expense, and is referred to as zero cost inventories. We estimate cost of sales as a percentage of net product revenue and will continue to be positively impacted as we sell products which includes some raw material inventory that was previously expensed prior to the FDA approval.
Research and Development Expenses, Net
Research and development expenses, net (“R&D”) consist of costs incurred in connection with the research and development of our product candidates, which are partially offset by research and development tax credits, including tax credits arising from the U.K. small and medium enterprise (“SME”) regime and research and development expenditure credit (“RDEC”) regime provided by His Majesty's Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”). We expense research and development costs as incurred. These expenses include:
•expenses incurred under agreements with CROs, as well as investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials, preclinical studies and other scientific development services;
•manufacturing scale-up expenses and the cost of acquiring and manufacturing preclinical and clinical trial materials;
•employee-related expenses, including salaries, related benefits, travel and share-based compensation expense for employees engaged in research and development functions;
•expenses incurred for outsourced professional scientific development services;
•costs for laboratory materials and supplies used to support our research activities;
32

•allocated facilities costs, depreciation and other expenses, which include rent and utilities; and
•upfront, milestone and management fees for maintaining licenses under our third-party licensing agreements.
We recognize external development costs based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using information provided to us by our service providers.
Our direct research and development expenses are tracked on a program-by-program basis for our product candidates and consist primarily of external costs, such as fees paid to outside consultants and CROs in connection with our preclinical development, manufacturing and clinical development activities. Our direct research and development expenses by program also include fees incurred under license agreements. We do not allocate employee costs or facility expenses, including depreciation or other indirect costs, to specific programs because these costs are deployed across multiple programs and, as such, are not separately classified. We use internal resources primarily to oversee research and development as well as for managing our preclinical development, process development, manufacturing and clinical development activities.
Research and development activities are central to our business model. Product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials. As a result, we expect that our research and development expenses will increase substantially over the next few years as we initiate and conduct additional clinical trials and prepare regulatory filings related to our product candidates. We also expect to incur additional expenses related to milestone, royalty payments and maintenance fees payable to third parties with whom we have entered into license agreements to acquire the rights related to our product candidates.
The successful development and commercialization of our product candidates is highly uncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate or know the nature, timing and costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete the clinical development of any of our product candidates or when, if ever, material net cash inflows may commence from sales of any of our product candidates. This uncertainty is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with development and commercialization activities, including the uncertainty of:
•the scope, progress, outcome and costs of our clinical trials and other research and development activities, including establishing an appropriate safety profile with IND-directed studies;
•successful patient enrollment in, and the initiation and completion of, clinical trials;
•the timing, receipt and terms of any marketing approvals from applicable regulatory authorities;
•establishing commercial manufacturing capabilities or making arrangements with third-party manufacturers;
•development and timely delivery of commercial-grade drug formulations that can be used in our clinical trials and for commercial manufacturing;
•obtaining, maintaining, defending and enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property rights;
•significant and changing government regulation;
•launching commercial sales of our product candidates, if and when approved, whether alone or in collaboration with others;
•maintaining a continued acceptable safety profile of the product candidates following approval; and
•significant competition and rapidly changing technologies within the biopharmaceutical industry.
We may never succeed in achieving regulatory approval for any of our product candidates other than AUCATZYL. We may obtain unexpected results from our clinical trials. We may elect to discontinue, delay or modify clinical trials of some product candidates or focus on others. Any changes in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of our product candidates in clinical development could mean a significant change in the costs and timing associated with the development of these product candidates. For example, if the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”), the FDA, or another regulatory authority were to delay our planned start of clinical trials or require us to conduct clinical trials or other testing beyond those that we currently expect or if we experience significant delays in enrollment in any of our planned clinical trials, we could be required to expend significant additional financial resources and time on the completion of clinical development of that product candidate. Commercialization of our product candidates will take several years and millions of dollars in development costs.
U.K. Research and Development Tax Credits
Research and development expenditure is presented net of reimbursements from reimbursable tax and expenditure credits from the United Kingdom government. As a company that carries out extensive research and development activities, we benefit from the Research and Development tax incentives provided by United Kingdom tax legislation. The specific tax incentives available for us to claim vary year to year and are dependent on the criteria met.
The benefits from United Kingdom research and development tax credits are recognized in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss as a reduction of research and development expenses and represents the sum of the research and development tax credits recoverable in the United Kingdom.

33

The SME program has been particularly beneficial to us as under such program the tax losses that arise from our qualifying R&D activities can be surrendered for a cash rebate of up to 33.35% of qualifying expenditure incurred prior to April 1, 2023 and decreased to 18.6% after April 1, 2023. The United Kingdom government enacted changes to the SME regime effective from April 1, 2023 which included the introduction of a new rate for R&D intensive companies of 27%. Qualifying expenditures largely comprise of employment costs for research staff, consumables, outsourced contract research organization costs and utilities costs incurred as part of research projects for which we do not receive income. A large proportion of costs relate to our pipeline research, clinical trials management and manufacturing development activities, all of which are being carried out by our subsidiary Autolus Limited, are eligible for inclusion within these tax credit cash rebate claims.
Under the RDEC program, the headline rate for qualifying R&D expenditure is 20% and can generate cash rebates of up to 15% on qualifying R&D expenditure.
Amendments to the current SME and RDEC programs contained in the Finance Act 2024 (unless limited exceptions apply) introduce (i) restrictions on the tax relief that can be claimed for expenditure incurred on sub-contracted R&D activities or externally provided workers, where such activities are not carried out in the United Kingdom or such workers are not subject to United Kingdom payroll taxes, and (ii) merge the SME and RDEC programs into a single scheme which would generate net cash benefit of up to 15% of the qualifying expenditure for profit making companies and up to 16.2% for loss making companies. These changes apply to periods commencing after April 1, 2024.
In the accounting period ended March 31, 2026, we may make a claim under the merged RDEC regime, as detailed above.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, related benefits, travel and share-based compensation expense for personnel in executive, finance, legal and other administrative functions. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include allocated facility-related costs, patent filing and prosecution costs and professional fees for marketing, insurance, legal, consulting, accounting, termination benefits and related charges, audit services, gains and losses on disposal of property and equipment and impairment of operating lease right of use assets and related property and equipment. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses is historical irrecoverable input VAT previously claimed on selling, general and administrative expenses and subsequently reversed.
We anticipate that our selling, general and administrative expenses will increase in the future as we maintain the headcount necessary to support the commercialization of AUCATZYL and the planned development of our product candidates. We anticipate an increase in salaries and related benefits as a result of our commercial operations, especially as they relate to the sales and marketing of AUCATZYL and our other product candidates. In addition, we anticipate an increase in termination benefits and related charges arising from the reduction in force approved and announced in April 2026, with a significant portion of these termination benefits and related charges expected to be recognized in the first half of 2026.
We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, increased expense with being a public company, including increased accounting, audit, legal, regulatory and compliance costs associated with maintaining compliance with Nasdaq listing rules and the SEC requirements, director and officer insurance premiums, as well as higher investor and public relations costs. Additionally, should we fail to maintain our status as a foreign private issuer, we would expect to incur increased expenses to remain compliant with the applicable SEC and Nasdaq requirements.
Other income, net
Other income, net consists primarily of sublease income.
Foreign Exchange (Losses) Gains, Net
Foreign exchange (losses) gains, net consist of foreign currency transaction gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies.
Interest Income
Interest income primarily relates to interest on cash, cash equivalents and available-for-sale debt securities and is presented net of amortization or accretion of the premium or discount on purchase and sales of the debt securities.

34

Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net consists primarily of interest expense arising from amortization of the liabilities related to future royalties and milestones, pursuant to our collaboration agreements with BXLS V - Autobahn L.P, (“Blackstone”) and BioNTech SE (“BioNTech”), using the effective interest rate method. On a quarterly basis, we assess the expected present value of the future Blackstone and BioNTech payments under the Blackstone Collaboration Agreement and BioNTech Agreements which may be received by us and future royalties and sales milestone payments to Blackstone and BioNTech which may be paid by us. To the extent the amount or timing of such receipts or payments is materially different than our previous estimates we record a cumulative catch-up adjustment to the liabilities related to future royalties and milestones. Adjustments to increase or decrease the carrying amount are recognized as an adjustment to interest expense, net in the period in which the change in estimate occurred.
Income Tax Expense
We are subject to corporate taxation in the United Kingdom, United States, Germany and Switzerland. Due to the nature of our business, we have generated losses since inception. Our income tax (expense) benefit recognized represents the sum of income tax payable or receivable in the United Kingdom and in the United States.
Un-surrendered U.K. losses may be carried forward indefinitely to be offset against future taxable profits, subject to numerous utilization criteria and restrictions. The amount that can be offset each year is limited to £5.0 million plus an incremental 50% of United Kingdom taxable profits. After accounting for tax credits receivable, we had accumulated tax losses for carry forward in the United Kingdom of $953.6 million at December 31, 2025. No deferred tax assets are recognized on our U.K. losses and tax credit carryforwards because there is currently no indication that we will make sufficient taxable profits to utilize these tax losses and tax credit carryforwards. We carry a $3.6 million deferred tax asset balance related to the U.S. entity at March 31, 2026 for which a valuation allowance of $2.4 million was applied. We have recorded a valuation allowance against the net deferred tax asset where the recoverability due to future taxable profits is unknown. On April 1, 2023 the main rate of the U.K. corporation tax was increased to 25% for companies with profits in excess of £250,000, or the small profits rate of 19% for companies with profits of £50,000 or less (with marginal relief from the main rate available to companies with profits between £50,000 and £250,000).
In the event we generate profits in the future, we may benefit from the U.K. “patent box” regime that allows profits attributable to revenues from patents or patented products to be taxed at an effective rate of 10%.

Product Revenue, Net
We began recognizing product revenue, net arising from the commercial sales of AUCATZYL in the United States and United Kingdom in January 2025 and January 2026, respectively. Product revenue, net increased by $17.2 million to $26.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $9.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase is primarily due to an increase in the number of AUCATZYL doses administered in the territories where we commercialize AUCATZYL.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales increased by $6.6 million to $24.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $18.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to:
•an increase of $6.7 million in the consumption of raw materials and consumables relating to the manufacturing of AUCATZYL; and
•a net increase of $0.7 million in information technology infrastructure and support for information systems, facility costs and lease expenses relating to the manufacturing and production of AUCATZYL; offset by
•a decrease of $0.5 million in salaries and other employment related costs including share-based compensation expenses; and
•a decrease of $0.3 million in legal and professional fees related to manufacturing activities.
Certain manufacturing expenses incurred prior to AUCATZYL receiving the FDA approval were classified as research and development expenses, resulting in zero cost inventory. If cost of sales included previously expensed inventories, the total cost of sales with these manufacturing costs included would have increased by approximately $0.7 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 respectively.

Research and development expenses, net decreased by $5.5 million to $21.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $26.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to:
•a decrease of $5.2 million in clinical trial costs, clinical manufacturing supply costs and related support costs; and
•a decrease of $0.7 million in salaries and other employment related costs including share-based compensation expense relating to research and development activities; offset by:
•a decrease of $0.4 million in United Kingdom R&D tax credits (resulting in an increase in R&D expense) due to no longer being eligible for the SME scheme and moving to the merged RDEC from January 1, 2025, as well as lower qualifying spend.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $10.4 million to $39.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $29.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to:
•an increase of $7.3 million in salaries and other employment related costs including share-based compensation expenses, which was mainly driven by an increase in the number of employees engaged in selling, general and administrative activities;
•an increase of $1.6 million in professional fees primarily related to commercialization activities in the U.S. and U.K.; and
•an increase of $1.5 million in information technology infrastructure and support for information systems and facility costs relating to the conduct of corporate and commercial operations, including increase in space utilized for these activities.
Foreign Exchange (Losses) Gains, Net
Foreign exchange (losses) gains, net decreased to a loss of $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to a gain of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to gains and losses on a variety of items, including on U.S. dollar monetary assets and liabilities held by our main operating subsidiary in the United Kingdom, as well as our cash and cash equivalents and liabilities related to future royalties and milestones.
Interest Income
Interest income decreased to $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in interest income of $3.6 million was primarily driven by lower aggregate balances and yield associated with our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net increased to $11.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to $10.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Interest expense, net increased by $1.0 million primarily due to higher liabilities related to future royalties and milestone, net balances as of March 31, 2026 compared to March 31, 2025 in relation to the Collaboration Agreement with Blackstone and the BioNTech License and Option Agreement.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense decreased to $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Income tax expenses decreased by $1.4 million primarily due to a decrease in Autolus Inc.'s taxable income due to the recognition of product revenue, net offset by related intra-group recharges during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception, we have incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from our operations. We expect to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future as we market AUCATZYL and advance our other product candidates through preclinical and clinical development and seek regulatory approval and pursue commercialization of any additional approved products. As a result, we will need significant additional capital to fund our operations until such time as we can generate significant revenue from sales of AUCATZYL or other products.
We have one product approved for commercial sale in the United States and United Kingdom, AUCATZYL, of which the first commercial sale of AUCATZYL in the United States and United Kingdom was made during January 2025 and January 2026, respectively. We have funded our operations to date primarily with proceeds from government grants, sales of our equity securities including ADSs, through public offerings and pursuant to our at-the-market equity facility, through U.K. research and development tax credits and receipts from the SME and RDEC schemes, out-licensing arrangements, strategic collaboration agreements and sale of our commercial product. We have an accumulated deficit of $1,458.4 million as of March 31, 2026.
We expect to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future as we market and continue commercialization of AUCATZYL and advance our other product candidates through preclinical and clinical development and seek regulatory approval and pursue commercialization of any additional approved products. As a result, we will need significant additional capital to fund our operations until such time as we can generate significant revenue from sales of AUCATZYL or other products for which we may obtain regulatory approval.

37

We have funded our operations to date primarily with proceeds from product revenue, government grants, sales of our equity securities, through public offerings and pursuant to our at-the-market equity facility, United Kingdom research and development tax credits and receipts from the SME and RDEC schemes, out-licensing arrangements and strategic collaboration and financing agreements. From our inception in 2014 through March 31, 2026, we have generated an aggregate of $1.8 billion from these capital sources.
As of March 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $130.9 million and available-for-sale debt securities of $98.5 million.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in our operating activities was $65.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $75.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease of $10.3 million in net cash used in our operating activities was primarily driven by increases in accounts receivable, inventories net, operating lease liability and prepaid expenses working capital movements, reflecting the timing of payments, partially offset by accounts payable and accrued expenses working capital movements.
Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, net cash provided by investing activities amounted to $96.2 million and net cash used in investing activities amounted to $59.5 million, respectively. Net cash provided by investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 primarily reflected by $113.6 million in proceeds from maturity and redemption of marketable securities, offset by purchases of marketable securities totaling $14.7 million, and purchases of property and equipment totaling $2.7 million. Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 consisted of $71.3 million of investment in marketable securities and of $8.2 million related to purchases of property and equipment offset by $20.0 million of maturity and redemption of marketable securities.
Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Financing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash used in financing activities totaled $2.1 million, primarily due to revenue share payments to Blackstone and BioNTech. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, there was no cash used or provided by financing activities.
Funding Requirements
We expect to continue incurring significant expenses in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we continue to market and sell AUCATZYL, operate our commercial manufacturing facility and advance the preclinical activities and clinical trials of our other product candidates. Our expenses may increase as we:
•maintain our sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure in connection with commercializing AUCATZYL and other product candidates for which we may obtain marketing approval and intend to commercialize on our own or jointly;
•initiate new preclinical activities and clinical trials for our product candidates;
•seek regulatory approvals for any product candidates that successfully complete preclinical and clinical trials;
•retain our manufacturing, clinical, medical and development personnel;
•expand our infrastructure and facilities to accommodate our employee base; and
•maintain, expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio.
38

Our primary uses of capital are compensation and related expenses, clinical costs, external research and development services, laboratory and related supplies, legal and other regulatory expenses, manufacturing and selling AUCATZYL, and administrative and overhead costs. Our future funding requirements will be heavily determined by the resources needed to support the development of our product candidates and commercialization of AUCATZYL. We also expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product manufacturing, sales, marketing and distribution, depending on where we choose to commercialize. We may also require additional capital to pursue in-licenses or acquisitions of other product candidates.
Based on our current clinical development and commercialization plans, we believe our existing cash and cash equivalents of $130.9 million, marketable securities of $98.5 million as of March 31, 2026 and the expected proceeds from the sale of AUCATZYL , will enable us to fund our current and planned operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least twelve months from the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report. We have based these estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we expect. If we receive regulatory approval for our other product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product manufacturing, sales, marketing and distribution, depending on where we choose to commercialize. We may also require additional capital to pursue in-licenses or acquisitions of other product candidates.
Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with research, development and commercialization of pharmaceutical product candidates, we are unable to estimate the exact amount of our working capital requirements. Our future funding requirements will depend on and could increase significantly as a result of many factors, including:
•our ability to continue to execute our commercialization strategies for AUCATZYL and, if approved, any of our other product candidates for which we may receive regulatory approval;
•the scope, progress, outcome and costs of our clinical trials and other research and development activities;
•the costs, timing, receipt and terms of any marketing approvals from applicable regulatory authorities;
•the costs of future activities, including product sales, medical affairs, marketing, manufacturing and distribution, for AUCATZYL or any of our product candidates for which we receive marketing approval;
•the revenue, if any, received from commercial sale of AUCATZYL or our other product candidates, should any receive marketing approval;
•the costs and timing of hiring new employees to support our continued growth;
•the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights and defending intellectual property-related claims; and
•the extent to which we in-license or acquire additional product candidates or technologies.
Until such time, if ever, that we can generate product revenue sufficient to achieve profitability, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of public or private equity and debt offerings, reimbursable United Kingdom research and development tax credits and receipts from the SME and RDEC schemes, out-licensing agreements, or strategic collaboration agreements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity, the ownership interest of existing shareholders will be diluted. If we raise additional funds through other third-party funding, collaborations agreements, strategic alliances, out-licensing agreements or marketing and distribution arrangements, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds 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 products or product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, costs and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates and significant judgments during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

AGC will issue an invoice reflecting the amount of the Cancellation or Rescheduling Fees on the date of service of notice [***] 5.2 Commercial Products 5.2.1 Minimum Volume and Agreed Schedule. The minimum number of Batches of each commercial Product to be ordered per each Calendar Year (the “Minimum Volume”) is set forth in the relevant Work Statement or Project Change Order (PCO). Customer shall provide AGC with a written, non-binding forecast of its required number of Batches on a semester basis for the following semester no later than the start of the previous semester, including its preferred delivery schedule, which may be distributed evenly throughout the semester or consolidated into manufacturing campaigns. For the purposes of this clause, “semester” is a period of time of six (6) months. For any new Commercial Work Statement executed after this date, the initial forecast shall be provided within [***] of its signature. Following receipt of the forecast, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to mutually agree in writing upon a manufacturing schedule based on the availability of AGC's manufacturing Facility and Customer’s Commercial Requirement (the "Agreed Schedule"). AGC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate Customer’s preferred dates, subject to its facility availability and capacity. For the avoidance of doubt, the Cancellation and Rescheduling Fees shall not apply to any Batches covered by the Minimum Volume. 5.2.2 Slot Reservation and Purchase Orders. Within [***] of finalizing the Agreed Schedule, Customer shall secure the reservation of the manufacturing slots by issuing a binding Purchase Order(s) committing to the entire Minimum Volume, covering both the cost of all required Raw Materials and the corresponding Batch Prices. Invoicing for such Purchase Order(s) shall be conducted in accordance with Section 7 of this Agreement. Should Customer fail to issue the Purchase Order(s) within this [***], AGC shall have no obligation to reserve the slots in the Agreed Schedule and may release them for other commercial activities and for other usable activities. No terms contained in any Purchase Order, acknowledgment or similar document shall be construed to amend or modify the terms of this Agreement and in the event of any conflict, this Agreement (and its amendments) shall prevail and control. Once the Purchase Order has been signed respectively for Raw Materials and Slot booking, AGC will procure the Raw Materials and the relevant Slot shall be definitely booked for Customer in the terms defined in the confirmed reservation. 5.2.3 Rescheduling. Should Customer request to reschedule one or more Batches from the Agreed Schedule, after the start of the previous semester, AGC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate such a request, subject to its manufacturing capacity and slot availability. Customer shall be


 
AGC Confidential Page 6 responsible for any additional reasonable and pre-agreed costs incurred by AGC for replacing Raw Materials, if needed, as a result of such rescheduling. 5.2.4 Shortfall Sum. Should Customer fail to order (and pay for) the Minimum Volume in any Calendar Year, then Customer shall pay to AGC a sum calculated as the number of Batches below the Minimum Volume multiplied by the Batch Price (the “Shortfall Sum”). [***]. 5.2.5 Volume-based discounts. AGC may offer volume-based discounts to Customer for orders exceeding the Minimum Volume as set forth in the applicable Work Statement or PCO. For clarity, such discounts shall apply to all manufacture of Products, Obe-cel programs and/or any non-Obe-cel programs. Such volume- based discounts shall be calculated and applied as follows: i) the specific volume thresholds and corresponding discount percentages shall be detailed in the Work Statement or PCO for each Commercial Product; ii) volume discounts shall be calculated on a Calendar Year basis, taking into account the total number of Batches ordered and delivered during such period; iii) Volume discounts shall be applied as a credit against invoices issued in the following Calendar Year, or as otherwise agreed between the Parties in writing; iv) volume discounts earned for one Commercial Product shall not be transferable or applicable to other Commercial Products unless specifically agreed in writing between the Parties; v) within [***] after the end of each Calendar Year, AGC shall provide Customer with a volume discount reconciliation statement showing total volumes ordered, applicable discount tiers achieved, and any credits due to Customer. 5.2.6 Exceptional Batches. Upon Customer's written request, AGC may, in response to Customer's written request to meet Customer’s Commercial Requirement, agree to manufacture additional Batches of Product in excess of the Minimum Volume for that same Calendar Year ("Exceptional Batches"). AGC shall at all times use commercially reasonable efforts to meet Customer’s demand for Exceptional Batches, subject to its available capacity and other commercial commitments. AGC's obligation to manufacture of Exceptional Batches shall only arise upon the issuance of a Purchase Order and full finalization by both Parties of a Project Change Order (PCO) confirming the terms for such Batches. For the avoidance of doubt, Sections 5.1.1 (Purchase Orders for Clinical Batches), 5.1.2 (Rescheduling and Cancellation Fees) shall apply mutatis mutandis to any Exceptional Batch. 5.2.7 Inability to meet the Minimum Volume by AGC. Should AGC become aware or conclude that, for any reason attributable to AGC or AGC’s subcontractor negligence or wilful misconduct, it will be materially unable to meet the Minimum Volume or to meet the Timeline for Delivery of one or more Batch(es) of Product, then AGC shall as soon as reasonably practicable notify Customer of such circumstances and explain what efforts AGC is taking to address such delay. Following such notification, the Parties shall enter into good faith discussions to create a mutually agreeable remediation plan. AGC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement such a plan to mitigate the impact on the Customer. In the event that the Parties determine that it is not reasonably possible to remedy AGC's inability to meet the Minimum Volume through the remediation plan, or if such remediation plan fails to achieve the intended results within a reasonable timeframe, the Parties will discuss in good faith reasonable terms and conditions for the transfer of the manufacturing process related to the Product to Customer or a third party, to enable continued production of the Product. 5.2.8. Minimum spend guarantee (2028-2032). Customer hereby guarantees AGC a minimum aggregate spend of twenty-five million Euros (€25,000,000) in Service Fees over that five-year period commencing on 1 January 2028 and ending on 31 December 2032 (the "Guarantee Period"). For the purpose of this Section 5.2.8 Service Fee means any amount paid by the Customer for the Service exclusive of Incidental Fees and taxes. [***]. Upon expiry of the Guarantee Period or the expiry or termination of this Agreement (except in the case of termination by the Customer pursuant to Section 14.1(ii) or 14.2 or 18.1 below), if the Customer's total aggregate spend is less than twenty-five million Euros (€25,000,000), the Customer shall be required to [***] (the “Minimum Spend Guarantee Shortfall”). AGC [***] of the Agreement. Except in the case of termination by Customer under Sections 14.1(ii), 14.2 or 18.1, [***].


 
AGC Confidential Page 7 For the avoidance of doubt, where AGC is unable or unwilling to provide manufacturing services to Customer under the ROFR specified in Section 2.5, an amount may be set off against the minimum spend amounts specified in this Section 5.2.8. The value of such set-off shall be equal to the Service Fees paid by Customer to the third-party manufacturer that performed such services. Customer shall provide reasonable documentation to substantiate such amount, which shall be verifiable by AGC or by an independent third-party auditor. This right to set-off is conditional upon all of the following conditions being met: (a) such services are within the scope of activities that AGC can technically perform; (b) such services were requested by Customer with reasonable advance notice, sufficient to enable AGC to allocate the necessary capacity; and (c) the request was made on commercially reasonable, market-standard terms, or where applicable, aligned to previous terms already agreed between AGC and the Customer.

Customer may arrange collection at any time during normal business hours on Business Days or other times as may be agreed in writing by the Parties. 6.2.4 AGC will use commercially reasonable efforts at all times fully co-operate with Customer, and any of its agents, sub-contractors and Shipping Company (defined below) in relation to the storage, logistic and shipping of Deliverables (including in relation to the export or import any Deliverables) provided that the Customer will remain the sole responsible for import and export. 6.2.5 Documentary Deliverables will be delivered by electronic means. For each Product, AGC shall provide Customer with the corresponding Certificate of Analysis and any other specified documentation as defined in the Work Statement. 6.3 Product delivered before issuance of Certificate of Analysis.
