Cash and cash equivalents of €12.3 million as of June 30, 2026, a 2.4-fold increase compared to December 31, 2025 (€5.1 million), following the €15 million capital increase completed in May.

BARDA revenue totaled €2.5 million (€6.6 million in H1 2025), as H1 2025 saw a concentration of validation activities and a clinical trial; H1 2026 returned to a pace representative of ongoing development activity. Operating expenses remained stable at €10.3 million, excluding depreciation, provisions, and disposal-related items (€10.3 million in H1 2025).
Net income of −€8.6 million (−€4.9 million in H1 2025): H1 2025 saw two non-recurring milestones—the validation campaign and a clinical trial.
Post-closing: BARDA contract extended through 2030 and increased to $48.0 million (+$4.7 million in non-dilutive funding).

“The first half of 2026 was devoted to strengthening our financial foundations. The €15 million capital increase completed in May enabled us to return to positive equity and reduce our net debt by more than half. Our half-year results reflect a lower level of BARDA revenue compared to 2025, while our operating expenses remain under control. Alongside BARDA, our teams remain fully focused on the registration of ZEPIZURE® and on preparing our first shipments.”
Patrick ALEXANDRE, Chairman of the Executive Board of CROSSJECT
“Our priority is clear: to manage cash flow with the utmost rigor and to secure the Company’s financing—giving priority to non-dilutive resources—until ZEPIZURE® generates its first commercial revenue.”
Lionel SELTZ, Chief Financial Officer
Highlights of the First Half of 2026
A Significant Strengthening of Equity
On May 22, 2026, CROSSJECT completed a capital increase reserved for a specific category of investors, accompanied by an issuance of stock subscription warrants (BSA), for a total gross amount of €15 million: 6,441,300 new shares were issued at a price of €1.704, and 6,441,300 stock warrants were subscribed at a price of €0.626. Maxim Group LLC acted as the exclusive placement agent. If all stock warrants are exercised (four warrants entitling the holder to subscribe for five shares at a price of €2.68), the Company could receive an additional amount of up to €21.6 million.
During the half-year, €2.07 million in convertible bonds (HCM) were converted into shares, contributing to the reduction in bond debt. As of June 30, 2026, the share capital consists of 60,023,823 shares.
Debt Reduction Underway
The Company repaid €1.8 million in bank loans and €1.2 million in repayable advances during the half-year.
Regulatory and Industrial Progress on ZEPIZURE®
During the first half of the year, CROSSJECT continued, in close collaboration with BARDA, the regulatory work related to ZEPIZURE®. Discussions took place at a steady pace and at a high technical level, focusing in particular on the dossier documentation as well as the accompanying manufacturing and qualification elements. This work is actively ongoing. In accordance with the communication strategy agreed upon with its U.S. partner, the Company does not disclose the timeline for the authorization process, which is managed by BARDA. Following an inspection, the ANSM issued a new certificate of compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices for all pharmaceutical operations carried out by CROSSJECT. The company also maintains its ISO 13485 certification for all of its sites in France.
On the industrial front, the Company continued to prepare its production facilities and supply chain for the first deliveries: it continued the investments already underway at its sites, carried out equipment qualification work, and strengthened its manufacturing partnerships. These investments are reflected on the balance sheet as €3.9 million in assets under construction as of June 30, 2026.
Organization and Visibility with the Financial Community
CROSSJECT strengthened its management team with the appointment of Lionel SELTZ as Chief Financial Officer that joined in January 2026. Portzamparc (BNP Paribas Group) initiated coverage of the stock in February 2026: CROSSJECT is now covered by five research firms (Alpha Value, Invest Securities, Maxim Group, ODDO BHF, and Portzamparc).
Analysis of First-Half 2026 Results
Operating revenue totaled €4.8 million, compared with €8.0 million in the first half of 2025 (−40%). Revenue from the BARDA contract amounted to €2.5 million, compared with €6.6 million a year earlier. This difference is timing-related and primarily reflects the exceptional nature of the first half of 2025, which saw the completion of two major program milestones: the validation campaign and the conduct of a clinical study. These milestones had driven activity—and thus the expenses reimbursed by BARDA—well above the usual pace. In line with the program schedule, the first half of 2026 returned to a level representative of ongoing development activity, similar to that of the first half of 2024. BARDA-funded activity is expected to increase again as the program moves through its next milestones, with the contract's performance period now extended to June 2030 under Modification 4. Capitalized production (development costs) totaled €1.2 million (€1.5 million). Other income (€1.3 million, compared with €0.1 million) includes €0.6 million in proceeds from the disposal of fixed assets related to the refinancing of industrial projects and €0.7 million in reversals of provisions, including €0.4 million related to inventory.
Operating expenses totaled €13.7 million, compared with €13.2 million (+4%). This increase stems primarily from the net book value of disposed fixed assets (€0.5 million), which was not present in the first half of 2025 and was offset by the corresponding proceeds from the disposal. Depreciation, amortization, and provisions remained stable at €2.9 million (€2.9 million). Excluding depreciation, amortization, and provisions, as well as disposal-related items, operating expenses totaled €10.3 million, unchanged from the first half of 2025 (€10.3 million): other purchases and external expenses decreased by 4% to €5.1 million, and personnel expenses remained stable at €4.0 million.
Operating income came in at −€8.9 million, compared to −€5.1 million in the first half of 2025. This change mainly reflects lower BARDA revenue following an exceptional first half of 2025. The financial result improved to −€0.9 million (−€1.1 million). After accounting for the research tax credit (€1.3 million, compared to €1.6 million), net income came in at −€8.6 million, compared to −€4.9 million in the first half of 2025.
A Significantly Strengthened Financial Structure
As of June 30, 2026, total assets amounted to €35.6 million, compared to €30.4 million as of December 31, 2025. Shareholders’ equity returned to positive territory at €3.0 million, compared to −€4.9 million as of December 31, 2025, driven by the May 2026 capital increase and bond conversions, net of the half-year loss. Equity, including conditional advances, stood at €6.5 million. For the record, equity amounted to −€1.1 million as of June 30, 2025.
Gross financial debt was reduced to €18.6 million, compared to €22.4 million as of December 31, 2025 (−€3.8 million): bond debt stood at €7.5 million (€9.6 million) and bank loans at €8.5 million (€10.2 million). Conditional advances totaled €3.5 million (€4.7 million). Taking into account cash and cash equivalents of €12.3 million, net financial debt amounted to €6.3 million, compared to €17.4 million as of December 31, 2025 (−64%).
Cash Position
Available cash totaled €12.3 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to €5.1 million as of December 31, 2025, and €6.3 million as of June 30, 2025.
