| Operating expenses | Operating expensesNote 19.1. Sales and marketing
The increase in sales and marketing personnel costs for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 compared to March 31, 2025 was predominantly driven by the increase in the Group's costs related to the preparation for potential future sales and commercialization efforts of obefazimod in the U.S. Note 19.2. Research and developmentResearch and development expenses break down as follows:
The increase in research and development expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 compared to March 31, 2025 is primarily due to increasing personnel costs, mainly due to expense recognized in relation to the accelerated vesting of certain of the Group's former Chief Scientific Officer's AGA plans (see Note 14) as well as the impact of share-based compensation plans granted in 2025. This increase was partly offset by a decrease in sub-contracting, studies and research expenses related to our UC program, attributable to decreased activity on our ABTECT clinical program as a result of reaching major milestones in the Phase 3 clinical trials in 2025. Note 19.3. General and administrative
The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 was primarily due to a decrease in personnel costs, mainly due to a decrease in AGAs employer tax and social contributions of (3,476) thousand, resulting primarily from (i) the decrease in the Group's share price during the first quarter of 2026 and, to a lesser extent, (ii) forfeitures following employee departures and changes in estimates regarding the achievement of vesting conditions (see Notes 14 and 17.3). The decrease was partly offset by an increase in consulting and professional fees, driven by increased costs associated with building the Group's infrastructure to support future growth in its operations and other general and administrative expenses.
