AC Immune First Quarter 2026 Financial and Corporate Updates

• Presented updated interim results from Part 1 of the Phase 2 VacSYn clinical trial in early-stage Parkinson's disease at the International Conference on Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Diseases (AD/PD™ 2026), including promising biomarker data.
  • Interim results previously presented include changes in biomarkers and clinical measures all suggesting potential disease modification through treatment with ACI-7104
  • Final results for the week 104 full data set from Part 1 of the VacSYn trial expected to be reported in H2 2026.
    
    

NLRP3 inhibitor, ACI-19764, small molecule program

• Dosed the first subjects in a Phase 1 clinical trial of ACI-19764, a brain-penetrant Morphomer small molecule targeting the NLRP3 inflammasome.
• Morphomer NLRP3 inhibitors have potential to intervene at the earliest stages of disease in neurodegenerative conditions, including AD, PD, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia.
• Potential additional indications include inflammatory disorders, cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, skin inflammatory diseases, and certain rare diseases, among others.
  
  

ACI-35 (JNJ-2056) anti-pTau active immunotherapy

• AC Immune’s partner Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Janssen), a Johnson & Johnson company, is seeking a protocol amendment for the ReTain study to enable earlier insights into the biological activity of JNJ-2056 and its potential for clinical benefit. Submissions to all relevant health authorities are ongoing.
• The study remains active, with enrollment paused, and there is no change for enrolled participants at this time.
• The study is ongoing based on ~60 enrolled patients with a minimum of 12 months and up to 24 months of treatment and follow-up.
  
  

TDP-43 PET tracer

• Presented Phase 1 data including the first in vivo images of TDP-43 pathology in the human brain, detected using its first-in-class positron emission tomography (PET) tracer ACI-19626, at the International Conference on Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease (AD/PD™ 2026).
• Initial Phase 1 data (PET scans) with ACI-19626 showed that tracer uptake was significantly higher in key regions of the brain in patients with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and we are currently evaluating the tracer in ALS patients.
• Clinical data indicate a pharmacokinetic (PK) profile suitable for human brain imaging and potentially pharmacodynamic analysis of therapeutics targeting TDP-43 pathology.
  
  

AC Immune AD/PD^TM 2026 symposium

• Hosted an industry symposium on achieving precision prevention in Parkinson’s disease, highlighting Phase 2 clinical data on our ACI-7104 active immunotherapy, our small molecule programs targeting intracellular alpha-synuclein, and innovative diagnostic approaches to identifying at-risk individuals.
  
  

Anticipated 2026 Milestones

Analysis of Financial Statements for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2026

• Cash Position: The Company had total cash resources of CHF 74.8 million (CHF 91.4 million as of December 31, 2025), composed of CHF 19.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and CHF 55.6 million in short-term financial assets. The Company’s cash resources are expected to provide sufficient capital to last into Q4 2027, excluding potential milestone payments.
• R&D expenditures: R&D expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026, were CHF 11.8 million, compared with CHF 15.9 million for the comparable period in 2025. The decrease was partly due to lower personnel and operational spend of approximately CHF 1.7 million as a result of our pipeline focus initiatives announced in Q3 2025, as well as lower spend associated with our active immunotherapy programs, particularly in the upfront CMC costs prior to initiation of phase 2 studies.
• G&A expenditures: G&A expenses in the period were CHF 4.2 million in the period ended March 31, 2026, compared to CHF 4.4 million for same period in 2025.
• Financial result: The financial result was a loss of less than CHF 0.1 million for the period, compared with a gain of CHF 0.3 million for the comparable period. The change was primarily driven by a decrease in interest income earned on short-term financial assets, partially offset by lower foreign exchange losses.
• IFRS loss for the period: The Company had a net loss of CHF 14.8 million for the period ended March 31, 2026, compared to CHF 19.0 million for the same period in 2025.
