Lille (France), Cambridge (Massachusetts, United States); September 28, 2026 – GENFIT (Euronext: GNFT), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to improving the lives of patients with rare and life-threatening liver diseases, today announced its first half 2026 financial results and provided a corporate update.

Pascal Prigent, CEO of GENFIT, commented: “We are pleased with the progress across our businesses and believe we now have a strong platform to build upon. Iqirvo® continues to perform above expectations, with royalty revenue more than tripling in the first half of 2026 compared with the same period last year. This momentum could be further supported by the very encouraging ELSPIRE Phase 3 results and is reflected in Ipsen’s recent increase in its peak-sales guidance to €1 billion. At the same time, our MASH diagnostics business is emerging as a potentially significant contributor to future revenues, as the key challenge in this large market is shifting from treatment availability to patient identification and monitoring. Finally, we are starting three distinct Phase 2 studies, with readouts expected next year, each addressing a challenging condition where we believe our programs have the potential to make a meaningful difference.”

I. Financial update

Cash and cash equivalents

As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to €113.8 million compared with €101.1 million as of December 31, 2025.

In 2026, cash consumption was primarily driven by research and development activities across our Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure (ACLF) franchise programs, notably NTZ/G1090N, SRT-015, CLM-022 and VS-02 HE, as well as our GNS561 program in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). This cash consumption was offset by two significant cash inflows during the first half of 2026: (i) the second €30.0 million tranche received under the royalty financing agreement and (ii) the receipt of the first commercial milestone payment of €17.0 million from Ipsen (USD$20.0 million), which had already accrued for in 2025 and received in 2026..

We expect that our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements beyond the end of 2028, enabling the Company to further develop its R&D pipeline and support general corporate purposes. This is based on current assumptions and programs and does not include exceptional events. This estimation assumes (i) our expectation to receive significant future commercial milestone revenue pursuant to the Ipsen Agreement and Ipsen meeting its sales-based thresholds and (ii) drawing down the third and final, optional installment under the Royalty Financing agreement.

Financial highlight comments

Revenue

Revenue Half-year ended
(In € thousands) 30/06/2025 30/06/2026
Royalty revenue 6,871 20,975
Milestone revenue 26,556 0
Other revenue 61 98
TOTAL 33,488 21,073

Royalty revenue
Virtually all royalty revenue is derived from worldwide sales of Ipsen’s Iqirvo1 (elafibranor) under the Ipsen Agreement. These are utilized to repay the Group’s Royalty Financing agreement.

Milestone revenue
On May 20, 2025, GENFIT announced that Ipsen’s Iqirvo (elafibranor) was granted pricing and reimbursement in Italy for PBC, the third major European country to do so in addition to the UK and Germany. This third approval triggered a new milestone payment of €26.5 million under GENFIT’s Licensing and Collaboration Agreement with Ipsen, due upon pricing and reimbursement of Iqirvo (elafibranor) in three major European markets.

When comparing total revenues year on year, the timing of milestone payments should be kept in mind: revenues in the first half of 2025 included a milestone payment, whereas no milestone revenue was recognized in the first half of 2026. Additional milestone payments may, however, be recognized in the future.

Other income

Other income Half-year ended
(in € thousands) 06/30/2025 06/30/2026
CIR tax credit 2,030 3,091
Other operating income (including exchange gains on trade payables and receivables) 135 854
Government grants and subsidies 17 15
TOTAL 2,182 3,960

The increase in the CIR research tax credit compared to the prior period was primarily driven by an increase in eligible research and development expenses.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses amounted to €33.8 million in 2026, compared with €35.6 million in 2025, and comprised research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses, marketing and pre-commercialization expenses, and other operating income and expenses.

Research and development expenses decreased in 2026 compared with the prior period, primarily as a result of the discontinuation of the VS-01-ACLF program in 2025. This decrease was partially offset by the advancement of development activities across the Group’s other priority programs, notably nitazoxanide (NTZ), VS-02-HE, GNS561 and VS-01-UCD.

General and administrative expenses decreased in 2026 compared with the prior period, primarily due to the non-recurrence of costs related to the liquidation of Versantis recognized in 2025, as well as cost savings resulting from the Company’s delisting from the Nasdaq.

Financial results

The Group recorded a financial loss of €17.4 million in the first half of 2026, compared with a financial loss of €10.2 million in the first half of 2025.

Financial expenses increased in 2026 compared with the prior period, primarily due to changes in the fair value of the royalty financing liability recognized in profit or loss.

Net loss

The first half of 2026 resulted in a net loss of €26.1 million, compared with a net loss of €10.0 million in the first half of 2025.

II. Business update

Two emerging revenue streams

  • Elafibranor in cholestatic liver diseases

PBC – On July 30, 2026 Ipsen reported its Iqirvo (elafibranor) sales results for the first half of 2026. Ipsen upgraded its peak sales estimates from €500 million to €1 billion in Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC). This revision followed Ipsen’s announcement on July 13, 2026, that the primary endpoint of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) normalization had been achieved in 85% of patients treated with Iqirvo (elafibranor), compared with 23% of patients receiving placebo, in the Phase 3 ELSPIRE study. This revision is also explained by accelerated sales growth in the US driven by a higher number of patients, and strong launches across European countries. Iqirvo’s net sales for the first six months of 2026 amounted to €173 million2. This momentum also allowed GENFIT to activate, in January 2026, an additional €30 million tranche under GENFIT’s Royalty Financing agreement with HCRx, enhancing financial flexibility without shareholder dilution.
PSC – Beyond PBC, Ipsen announced the initiation of the Phase 3 ELASCOPE study evaluating elafibranor in Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC) in early 2026. The PSC market opportunity is estimated to be comparable in size to the second‑line PBC market. Subject to successful development and regulatory approval of elafibranor in this indication, GENFIT would be eligible to receive additional milestone payments as well as incremental double‑digit royalties. Data readout from the Phase 3 trial is expected around 2031.

  • NISTM Technology in MASH

Program status – In August 2026, Medicare reimbursement of Labcorp’s NASHnext® test (based on GENFIT’s NIS™ technology) became effective under the Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule for patients meeting coverage criteria. GENFIT believes broader reimbursement by private payers, if obtained, could support accelerated adoption of its technology over time. Further market expansion could also be supported by a potential future in vitro (IVD) launch, which may facilitate deployment across a wider range of healthcare settings.
Highlights on U.S. Market Potential – Based on intention-to-diagnose data collected across key specialties, increasing disease prevalence, and a staged commercialization strategy spanning Laboratory Developed Tests (LDTs) and In Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs), IQVIA estimates U.S. peak sales of products using GENFIT’s technology could exceed $1.5 billion by 2033, with annual testing volume in the U.S. reaching more than 7 million tests.3
Beyond the United States – In Europe and Asia, GENFIT expects its IVD strategy to play a key role in the future commercialization of its NIS™ technology. Supported by the anticipated expansion of the MASH therapeutic market and the broader accessibility enabled by IVD products, international markets could represent a meaningful additional revenue opportunity over time.

R&D pipeline

  • Clinical stage: Three programs entering Phase 2 clinical development in the second half of 2026

Two assets in Acute on-Chronic Liver Failure (ACLF)
Nangibotide – In summer 2026, GENFIT acquired nangibotide, a differentiated late-stage asset, reinforcing the Company’s portfolio of innovative therapies addressing high unmet medical needs. The investigation in Phase 2 is supported by a robust scientific and clinical foundation around the TREM-1 pathway and the asset’s profile:

  • Strong knowledge of nangibotide’s biological pathway
  • Multiple efficacy signals already observed with nangibotide in post-hoc analyses of three Phase 2 clinical trials in septic shock and COVID-19 subjects, including a statistically significant reduction in mortality in severe COVID-19 and significant improvements in SOFA score from baseline in septic shock
  • Overall favorable safety and tolerability profile demonstrated across four clinical trials, with more than 400 subjects exposed to nangibotide, and no meaningful differences versus placebo in safety outcomes

Nangibotide is expected to enter a Phase 2 study in ACLF in the fourth quarter of 2026, with data readout targeted in 2027.
Nitazoxanide (NTZ) – Positive Phase 1 data reported in early 2026 confirmed the favorable safety profile of NTZ and demonstrated multi‑modal biological activity, supporting its continued clinical development across the ACLF disease continuum. In March 2026, NTZ was granted Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of ACLF. A proof‑of‑concept study was initiated in the third quarter of 2026, with data expected in 2027.

One asset in oncology
GNS561 – Encouraging preliminary data from the ongoing Phase 1b study evaluating investigational drug GNS561 with a MEK inhibitor (MEKi) in KRAS mutated CCA were disclosed in December 2025 and June 2026. This Phase 1b dose escalation is progressing as planned, with additional data anticipated in the second half of 2026, following study expansion into additional cohorts supported by preliminary signals. The Phase 2 initiation is on track for launch in the second semester of 2026. Phase 2 data readout is targeted in 2027.

  • Research stage: multiple targets in ACLF and oncology

ACLF – GENFIT’s strategy for the treatment of ACLF is concentrated around its two most advanced assets, nangibotide and NTZ, both entering Phase 2 clinical investigations in 2026, as well as the potential of extracellular vesicle-based approaches. This focus is underpinned by robust body of evidence generated through internal preclinical research, external datasets, translational analyses, and ongoing interactions with leading international hepatology and critical care experts. GENFIT is thus directing its capital and development resources towards the programs with the strongest translational rationale and clinical potential, and has discontinued the development of SRT-015 and CLM-022 programs. The evaluation of the VS-02-HE program remains ongoing, alongside continued exploration of additional mechanisms of action relevant to ACLF. Further updates will be provided as these programs mature and progress toward clinical development.

Oncology – Following the encouraging preliminary results observed with GNS561 in combination with a MEK inhibitor in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), further supporting the therapeutic potential of autophagy inhibition, GENFIT has initiated research activities to explore this approach in additional oncology indications and in combination with other therapeutic agents. Further details will be provided as and when these programs advance into clinical development.

Corporate governance updates

In February 2026, Mr. John BROZEK replaced Ms. Florence SÉJOURNÉ as permanent representative of Biotech Avenir SAS on the Company’s Board of Directors.

Extra-financial performance

In May 2026 GENFIT published its annual Extra-Financial Performance Report (fiscal year 2025), highlighting its latest initiatives and providing insights on the evolution of key performance indicators. In terms of recognition, GENFIT maintained its “Prime status” with ISS ESG and gold medal awarded by Ethifinance in recognition of its ESG performance. GENFIT is also a Certified B Corporation since 2025.

HONG KONG, Sept. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Masonglory Limited (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: MSGY), a subcontractor providing wet trades services and other ancillary services in Hong Kong, today announced that on September 25, 2026, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with four investors (collectively, the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Purchasers agreed to purchase from the Company, in a private placement (the “Private Placement”), an aggregate of 667,000 Class A ordinary shares of the Company, par value US$0.0008 each (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), at a purchase price of US$1.50 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately US$1.0 million (US$1,000,500), before deducting offering expenses.

In addition, for no additional consideration, each Purchaser will receive at the closing of the Private Placement a Series A warrant to purchase up to 166,750 Class A Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of US$1.30 per share and a Series B warrant to purchase up to 166,750 Class A Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of US$1.10 per share (collectively, the “Warrants”). The Warrants are exercisable from the date of issuance and have a term of two years from the date of issuance.

The Company expects to complete the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement as soon as practicable, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, and to issue the Class A Ordinary Shares and the Warrants to the Purchasers at the closing.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement to fund the continued acquisition of equity interests in Beta Beteiligungs und Besitz GmbH, a private limited liability company organized under the laws of the Republic of Austria (the “Target”), which is engaged in the trading and distribution of construction materials, principally bathtubs, hot tubs and swim spas, in Continental Europe. As previously announced on August 13, 2026, the Company entered into a share swap agreement on August 12, 2026 to acquire a 20% equity interest in the Target. The specific percentage of additional equity interests in the Target to be acquired and the consideration therefor are still under negotiation between the Company and the Target, and no definitive agreement in respect thereof has been entered into as of the date of this press release. The Company will make further announcement(s) in respect of the foregoing as and when appropriate.

The Class A Ordinary Shares to be issued in the Private Placement, the Warrants and the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants have been and will be issued and sold in an offshore transaction without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on applicable exemptions from registration, and will constitute “restricted securities”. Each Purchaser has represented to the Company that it is not affiliated with the Company or any of its directors or officers. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

Issy-les-Moulineaux, September 28, 2026

Sodexo’s Board of Directors is proposing the appointment of Nathalie Bellon-Szabo as Chairwoman, subject to the renewal of her mandate at the Annual Shareholders Meeting on December 16, 2026. She would then succeed Sophie Bellon, who has served as Chairwoman of the Board of Directors since 2016.

After leading major strategic transformations over the past decade that have significantly reshaped Sodexo, including the spin-off and listing of its Benefits & Rewards services activity (Pluxee) and the divestment of Sodexo’s stake in Sofinsod, Sophie Bellon has decided not to seek renewal of her mandate as Chairwoman of the Board of Directors.

Throughout her tenure, Sophie Bellon strengthened both the independence of the Board and the quality of its work. She will now focus on Bellon SA, the family holding company, where she will become Chairwoman of the Management Board, while continuing to serve on Sodexo’s Board of Directors, subject to the renewal of her mandate by the Annual Shareholders Meeting.

The Board of Directors would like to extend its warmest thanks to Sophie Bellon for her commitment and her significant contribution to the Group’s transformation over the past ten years.

Nathalie Bellon-Szabo has dedicated most of her career to Sodexo. She has held numerous operational leadership roles and has been a member of the Group Executive Team since 2018. Under her leadership, Sodexo Live! has established itself as one of the global leaders in food services and travel hospitality across the sports, leisure and major events sectors, with revenue increasing fourfold over the past ten years, notably through its expansion in the United States, which has become its largest market. Today, Sodexo Live! is one of the Group’s key growth engines.

Nathalie Bellon-Szabo has served as a Director of Sodexo since 1989 and is a member of both the Nominating Committee and the Sustainability Committee. Her career has given her a deep understanding of the Group, its businesses, clients and teams, as well as extensive experience in its governance. She has also served as a Director of Pluxee since 2024, where she sits on the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, and as a Director of Bouygues Group since 2025.

Through this appointment, Nathalie Bellon-Szabo will become non-executive Chairwoman and will step down from her operational responsibilities within the company. Her role will be to lead the work of the Board of Directors, ensure high standards of governance, and enable the Board to support executive management.

This new phase in Sodexo’s governance comes as the Group enters a new chapter in its history with the launch of Shift & Grow 2030, its growth acceleration plan, in July 2026.

Sophie Bellon, Chairwoman of Sodexo’s Board of Directors:
  “I would like to warmly thank the members of the Board of Directors for their trust and for the quality of the work we have accomplished together in support of Sodexo’s transformation. After ten years as Chairwoman of the Board, I am particularly pleased that Nathalie will succeed me. Her operational experience and deep knowledge of Sodexo and its businesses will be invaluable assets in supporting the company through this new stage of its development. I wish her every success in her new role. ”

Nathalie Bellon-Szabo, future Chairwoman of Sodexo’s Board of Directors:
  “Over the past ten years, Sophie has played a pivotal role in preparing Sodexo for the future, and I would like to thank her. I would also like to thank the Board of Directors and my family for their trust. I bring to this role my deep commitment to our values and our mission, together with my strong conviction that value is created through growth. I fully appreciate the responsibility entrusted to me and will ensure that the Board supports Thierry Delaporte and his leadership team in executing the Group’s strategy. We share a common ambition: to accelerate Sodexo’s growth, remain ever closer to our clients, and further strengthen the Group’s position among the world’s leading companies in its industry.”

About Sodexo 
Founded in Marseille in 1966 by Pierre Bellon, Sodexo is the leader in Food and Services, shaping better everyday experiences at every moment in life: work, heal, learn and play. The Group stands out for its independence, its founding family shareholding and its responsible business model.
