Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

Note 1-General Information

LAVA Therapeutics N.V., together with its subsidiary, is a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on transforming cancer treatment by developing a platform of novel bispecific antibodies engineered to selectively induce gamma-delta T cell mediated immunity against tumor cells. LAVA Therapeutics N.V. was incorporated in 2016 and is headquartered in Utrecht, the Netherlands. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the 'Company,' 'we,' 'us' and 'our' refer to LAVA Therapeutics N.V. and its subsidiary.

On March 29, 2021, the Company completed an initial public offering ('IPO') of common shares in the United States pursuant to its registration statement on Form F-1, as amended (File No. 333-253795). The common shares are listed for trading under the symbol 'LVTX' on The Nasdaq Global Select Market ('Nasdaq'). Pursuant to the registration statement, the Company issued and sold 6,700,000 shares of €0.12 par value common stock at a price of €12.60 or $15.00 per share. Net proceeds from the IPO were approximately €75.5 million ($89.0 million) after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of €5.9 million ($7.0 million) and offering costs of €3.8 million ($4.5 million). In March 2021, the Company also received €47.2 million in proceeds from the Series C financing, net of repurchasing Series A Preferred and common shares.

On April 19, 2021, underwriters of the Company's IPO consummated the exercise of their option to purchase 425,712 common shares from the Company at the price of €12.60 or $15.00 per share resulting in additional IPO net proceeds to the Company of €4.9 million ($5.9 million) after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of €0.3 million ($0.4 million).

In connection with becoming a public company, on March 29, 2021 the Company changed its name from 'Lava Therapeutics, B.V.' to 'Lava Therapeutics N.V.' The address of the Company's registered office is Yalelaan 60, 3584 CM Utrecht, the Netherlands.

The Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors approved these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements on August 10, 2021.

Note 2-Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Preparation

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting.' Certain information and disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 and accompanying notes, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IASB.

The accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the previous financial year. A description of our accounting policies is provided in the Accounting Policies section of the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are disclosed in Note 3.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the condensed consolidated interim statements of financial position is comprised of cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with a maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Our objective in managing our cash resources (cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities) is to preserve principal, achieve liquidity requirements, and safeguard funds. We maintain our cash resources in accordance with our investment policy, which defines allowable investments, specifies credit quality standards and is designed to limit our credit exposure to any single issuer. Cash and cash equivalents include deposits and investments. Marketable securities include commercial paper, treasury bills and securities issued by several public corporations and the Dutch, EU or U.S. Treasury. A minimum of two times the amount of expected monthly cash outflow must be liquid at the beginning of each month. Our invested cash resources

7

are deployed to achieve our operating objectives in furthering our programs. We are prohibited from borrowing for investment purposes and from engaging in any non-business related investment activity that would be considered speculative according to the principles of conservative investment management.

For the purposes of the condensed consolidated interim statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

There were no new standards, interpretations, or amendments that became effective in the current reporting period which had an impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Note 3-Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions

In the application of our accounting policies, the Company is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Critical judgments made in the process of applying our accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements relate to revenue recognition, share-based payments, lease accounting, and to our research and license agreements.

The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, primarily relate to recognition of accruals for manufacturing and clinical trial activities. No significant adjustments to accruals have been recognized during the first six months of 2021 or 2020, due to conditions that existed at December 31, 2020, or 2019, respectively. Additionally, there have been no changes to the application of significant accounting estimates, and no impairment losses have been recognized during the first six months of 2021 or 2020.

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all disclosures for critical accounting estimates and judgments that are required in the annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Note 4-Initial Public Offering

On March 29, 2021, the Company completed an IPO of common shares pursuant to its registration statement on Form F-1, as amended (file 333-253795) under the symbol 'LVTX' in the United States on Nasdaq. Pursuant to the registration statement, the Companyissued and sold 6,700,000 shares of €0.12 par value common share at a price of €12.60 or $15.00 per share. Net proceeds from the IPO were approximately €75.5 million ($89.0 million) after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of €5.9 million ($7.0 million) and offering costs of €3.8 million ($4.5 million).

On April 19, 2021, underwriters of the Company's IPO consummated the exercise of their option to purchase 425,712 common shares from the Company at the price of €12.60 or $15.00 per share resulting in additional IPO proceeds to the Company of €4.9 million ($5.9 million) after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of €0.3 million ($0.4 million).

Note 5-License Liabilities

On February 25, 2021, the VUmc Agreement was restated, due to the Company's IPO which triggered a €12.1 million payment (the VUmc payment). The VUmc payment was calculated as the following:

The Company shall issue common shares equal to €3.0 million divided by the IPO price and €200,000 in cash; and

On each of the first and second anniversary of the IPO, the Company shall pay €4.4 million. Such payment shall be made in cash or common shares, at the election of the Company, valued using the closing price of common shares on the date two trading days prior to the respective anniversary of the initial public offering.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company issued 235,664 common shares at €12.73 share price representing the €3.0 million in accordance with the VUmc agreement. The remaining part of the VUmc payment, €9.1 million, was recorded as a liability, €4.5 million was classified as non-current liability, and €4.6 million of this liability was classified as a current liability in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statements of financial position as of June 30, 2021.

Note 6-Revenue
