Frederick Vogt, Ph.D., J.D., Interim President and Chief Executive Officer of Iovance, stated, “The first half of 2024 ushered in our first FDA approval and the start of our U.S. commercial launch of Amtagvi™ for patients with previously treated advanced melanoma. Amtagvi and Proleukin® demand remains strong and continues to increase as authorized treatment centers (ATCs) adopt Amtagvi and community referral networks are mobilized to drive patients to ATCs. These demand trends, as well as broader utilization of Amtagvi among an expanding ATC network, are expected to accelerate quarterly growth throughout this year and next year. We expect this growth to continue in 2025, 2026 and beyond. Additionally, we continue to expand our global commercial footprint, proprietary manufacturing capabilities, and broad clinical pipeline. As a fully integrated company, Iovance is well positioned to remain the global leader in innovating, developing, and delivering TIL cell therapy for patients with cancer.”

Second Quarter and First Half 2024 Financial Results
As of July 24, 2024, Iovance’s unaudited cash position is approximately $449.6 million, which includes net proceeds of approximately $200.0 million raised from an at-the market (ATM) equity financing facility during the second and third quarter of 2024. The current cash position and anticipated product revenue are expected to be sufficient to fund current and planned operations into early 2026. Iovance had $346.3 million in cash, cash equivalents, investments, and restricted cash at December 31, 2023.
Net loss for the second quarter of 2024 was $97.1 million, or $0.34 per share, compared to a net loss of $106.5 million, or $0.47 per share, for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023. Net loss for the first half of 2024 was $210.1 million, or $0.76 per share, compared to a net loss of $213.9 million, or $0.98 per share, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023.
Revenue was $31.1 million for the second quarter of 2024 and consisted of product revenue from the initial quarter of Amtagvi sales as well as recurring revenue from Proleukin. Iovance recognized $12.8 million in revenue from Amtagvi infusions that were completed during the second quarter of 2024 and $18.3 million in global revenue for Proleukin.
Revenue for the first half of 2024 was $31.8 million and reflected product revenue from Proleukin and Amtagvi. Revenue for the first half of 2023 was $0.2 million for global sales of Proleukin, which Iovance began to recognize during the three-month period ended June 30, 2023.
The increases in revenue in the second quarter and first half of 2024 over the prior year periods were primarily attributable to the U.S. launch of Amtagvi, including revenue recognized for Amtagvi, as well as significant growth in U.S. Proleukin revenue for use in the Amtagvi treatment regimen, beginning in the second quarter of 2024.
Cost of sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was $31.4 million and $38.6 million, respectively, primarily related to costs associated with sales of Amtagvi and Proleukin, certain costs associated with patient drop off and manufacturing success rates, non-cash amortization expense for intangible assets, and royalties payable on product sales. Cost of sales for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $2.1 million, primarily related to non-cash amortization for intangible assets.
The increases in cost of sales in the second quarter and first half of 2024 over the prior year periods were primarily attributable to the initiation of commercial manufacturing and related costs for the U.S. launch of Amtagvi during the first half of 2024.
Research and development expenses were $62.1 million for the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of $24.2 million compared to $86.3 million for the same period ended June 30, 2023. Research and development expenses were $141.9 million for the first half of 2024, a decrease of $27.2 million compared to $169.1 million for the same period ended June 30, 2023.
The decreases in research and development expenses in the second quarter and first half of 2024 over the prior year periods were primarily attributable to the transition of Amtagvi to commercial manufacturing, decreased costs associated with certain clinical activities in the first half of 2024, and the completion of pre-commercial qualification activities in 2023. These decreases in research and development were partially offset by increases in stock-based compensation resulting from growth in headcount.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $39.6 million for the second quarter of June 2024, an increase of $17.7 million compared to $21.9 million for the same period ended June 30, 2023. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $71.0 million for the first half of 2024, an increase of $21.0 million compared to $50.0 million for the same six-month period ended June 30, 2023.
The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter and first half of 2024 compared to the prior year periods was primarily attributable to increases in headcount and related costs, including stock-based compensation, to support the growth in the overall business and related corporate infrastructure, as well as legal costs and costs incurred to support the commercialization of Amtagvi and Proleukin.
