Marseille, France, November 15, 2018, 7:00 AM CET

Innate Pharma SA (the “Company” – Euronext Paris: FR0010331421 – IPH) today announced its revenues and cash position for the first nine months of 2018.

 “During the third quarter we presented successful data results in two of our lead assets and continued to progress and expand our clinical programs. The exciting quarter was a catalyst that drove the execution of the recent landmark deal with AstraZeneca,” commented, Mondher Mahjoubi, Chief Executive Officer of Innate Pharma. “This transformational deal included the acquisition of Lumoxiti, an FDA-approved and innovative new treatment for relapsed or refractory Hairy Cell Leukemia, and provides the opportunity to benefit from the development and commercialization expertise of our partner. This allows us to further strategically position IPH4102 for its future commercial potential in the rare hematology market. At the same time, the expanded oncology development collaboration not only validates our research and development capabilities in immuno-oncology, but has strengthened our ability to continue to invest in our ongoing programs and science to pursue novel treatments for cancer patients.”

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, revenue mainly results from the co-development and commercialization agreement signed with AstraZeneca in relation to monalizumab, corresponding to the recognition over the period of the initial payment received in April 2015.

Erratum: revenue from collaboration and licensing agreements for the first 6 months of 2018 under IFRS15 is 16,209 thousand of euros and not 16,879 thousand of euros as stated in the HY financial report and press release issued on September 14, 2018.
