Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

Note 1-General Information

LAVA Therapeutics NV, together with its subsidiary, is a 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 NV was incorporated in 2016 and is headquartered in Utrecht, the Netherlands. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the 'Group,' 'Company,' 'we,' 'us' and 'our' refer to LAVA Therapeutics NV and its subsidiary.

On March 29, 2021, the Company completed an initial public offering ('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 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. Proceeds from the IPO were approximately $89.0 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $7.0 million and offering costs of $4.5 million. In March 2021, the Company also received €47.2 million in proceeds from the Series C financing, net of repurchasing of Series A Preferred and common shares.

The Company was incorporated in the Netherlands, with its statutory seat in Utrecht. 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 May 11, 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 1-½ times the amount of expected monthly cash outflow must be liquid each business day. Our invested cash resources 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.

6

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.

Share Split-On March 17, 2021, the Company effected a 221:1 share split of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares and a proportional adjustment to the existing conversion ratios for the Company's convertible preferred shares. The par value per share and authorized common and convertible preferred shares were adjusted as a result of the share split. All common shares and common share per share amounts within the financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted for all periods presented to give effect to this share split, including reclassifying an amount equal to the change in par value of common shares to additional paid-in capital.

Automatic Conversion of Preferred Shares - On March 29, 2021, the Company effected an amendment to its Articles of Association, as amended. This amendment eliminated the minimum price per common share for an underwritten public offering that would result in the automatic conversion of all outstanding Series A, Series B, and Series C preferred shares of the Company.

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 three 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 three 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. Proceeds from the IPO were approximately $89.0 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $7.0 million and offering costs of $4.5 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 Exit payment. The Exit payment is calculated as the following:

The Company shall issue common shares equal to €3.1 million divided by the IPO price (€12.60) and €200,000 in cash; and

7

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 intended initial public offering.

The €12.1 million Exit payment is recorded as a liability, €4.4 million is classified as non-current liability, and €7.7 million of this liability is classified as a current liability in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statements of financial position as of March 31, 2021.

Note 6-Revenue

Research and license revenue

In May 2020, the Company entered into the Janssen Agreement. As part of the Janssen Agreement, the Company received a non-refundable upfront payment of €7.4 million, which is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the two-year term of the research activities under agreement. As of March 31, 2021 there was €4.1 million of remaining unearned income related to this payment.
