Paris, France, February 13, 2020 – 7.00 AM CET - Pixium Vision (FR0011950641 - PIX), a bioelectronics company developing innovative bionic vision systems to enable patients who have lost their sight to lead more independent lives, announced today its 2019 financial results. Auditing of these results is ongoing. The Board of Directors of Pixium Vision approved the annual results at the meeting held on February 12, 2020.

Lloyd Diamond, Chief Executive Officer of Pixium Vision, stated: “Pixium Vision made significant and exciting progress in 2019, including the implementation of the upgraded version of the Prima System, Prima 2, and its first in human clinical data. The Prima System is now equipped with second generation glasses combining natural residual vision with prosthetic vision. These glasses are currently under study in all implanted patients in France and the United States. The first, very encouraging, clinical data are expected to be reported by the end of Q1 2020.” Lloyd Diamond added: “Controlling our costs allows us to allocate as much of our financial resources as possible to our clinical and R&D efforts with the aim of creating significant value. Thanks to impressive results of the ongoing feasibility studies, our priority in 2020 is to start the PRIMAVERA pivotal study, and the Pixium Vision team is fully committed to this key step in bringing the Prima System to market.”

Key developments in 2019

In 2019, Pixium Vision continued the development of its Prima System in the management of the dry form of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). In France, the majority of patients included in the feasibility study achieved results that exceeded expectations. Indeed, the Prima System allows these patients to read letters and letter sequences after a few months of rehabilitation. In parallel, Pixium Vision has finalized the development of the Prima 2 smart glasses. Equipped with a high-resolution camera, a more powerful embedded algorithm, these transparent glasses combine residual peripheral natural vision with central prosthetic vision. They provide patients with greater comfort in using the Prima System on a daily basis. All patients today benefit from this equipment with very encouraging initial results. The first reported clinical results with these upgraded glasses are expected in the course of the first quarter of 2020. Based on these results, Pixium Vision will continue to prepare the implementation of the PRIMAVERA pivotal clinical study, a required step towards CE marking, FDA approval and commercialization. The start of this study is expected before the end of 2020.

In the United States, Pixium Vision recently announced the implantation of a first patient. The two research centers in Pittsburgh and Miami are actively recruiting patients. As with patients in France, initial results show that the implant and surgical procedure are well tolerated without side effects and without impact on residual natural peripheral vision. All patients in this study will benefit directly from the upgraded Prima System glasses. The Company is assessing the possibility of pursuing development in the United States and Europe in parallel, which could accelerate the regulatory process in the US.

In 2019, Pixium Vision continued its efforts to control its operational cash burn, which was stable compared to 2018 despite research and development efforts to finalize and produce the new Prima System glasses. The Company has also partially secured its financing through the establishment of a bond contract that gives the possibility, under certain conditions, to raise up to € 10 million.

2020 operational outlook

Pixium Vision will prepare the PRIMAVERA pivotal study of the Prima System, building on the clinical results with the new transparent smart glasses. This study is expected to start by the end of 2020 and will be a major step in the clinical development of the Prima System in Dry-AMD. In the United States, recruitment under an early feasibility study is actively ongoing and should allow implantations to be finalized during the first half of the year.

 

2019 full-year financial results

In 2019, the Company did not generate sales.

Total revenues are mainly composed of the Crédit Impôt Recherche (CIR) research tax credit, which amounted to €1.72 million (€1.32 million in 2018). The CIR is related to continued R&D efforts, notably with the clinical and regulatory expenses on the Prima System. The increase in CIR in 2019 highlights the sustained R&D efforts of Pixium Vision. In all, total revenues amounted to €1.78 million in 2019 compared with €1.60 million in 2018.

Research & Development (R&D) recurring expenses amounted to €6.53 million in 2019 versus €6.18 million in 2018. In 2019, Pixium Vision increased its investments in the development of the Prima System, especially in newly designed intelligent transparent glasses as well as in the manufacturing of the first system for the patients already in clinical studies. R&D expenses also reflect the continuous effort of Pixium Vision in running the feasibility clinical studies. R&D accounted for two-third of overall recurring expenses in 2019.

General & Administrative (G&A) recurring expenses amounted to €3.07 million in 2019 compared with €3.05 million in 2018. It highlights the sustained efforts to control the overall expenses and to focus spending on R&D and value creation.

Marketing & Communication expenses amounted to €49,559, very limited due to no commercial activities.

The Company has chosen to report its Recurring Operating Result to improve the readability of the recurring operating items. Non-recurring items or items with no cash impact are excluded from the Recurring Operating Result which amounted to a loss of €7.87 million (versus a loss of €7.77 million in 2018).

Non-recurring items amounted to €1.00 million in 2019 (vs. €4.52 million in 2018) including the leaving costs associated with the departure of the former CEO and non-cash share-based payments. In 2018, the Company booked value losses following the impairment of tangible and intangible IRIS®-related assets, partially offset by a reduction in share-based payment.

Operating Income amounted to a loss of €8.87 million (vs. a loss of €12.29 million in 2018), and the Net Result to a loss of €9.62 million (vs. a loss of €13.52 million in 2018). In 2019, the Company recognized a financial charge of €1.00 million (vs. €0.98 million in 2018) mainly due to interest payment of the venture loan signed with Kreos Capital in September 2016. No Income Tax was recorded in 2018. Net Loss per issued share (weighted average number of shares outstanding over the period of 22.3m in 2019 and 18.5m in 2018) amounted to (€0.44) in 2019 compared to (€0.73) in 2018.

Cash consumption from operating activities increased by 11% in 2019 to €8.29 million compared with €7.45 million in 2018. The increase in company’s R&D efforts to support the development of the Prima System as well as indemnities paid to the former CEO lead to the uptake in cash consumption. Excluding non-recurring items, cash consumption related to G&A is stable.

Net cash outflow from financing activities amounted to €0.52 million in 2019. Cash outflow resulted from the reimbursement of the venture loan signed with Kreos Capital, partly offset by cash inflows from the equity line and the drawdown of the first tranche of the convertible note (“ORNAN 2019”) signed with ESGO. Pixium Vision closed 2019 with a net cash position of €6.79 million compared with €15.63 million in 2018.

Total revenues

In 2019, the Company generated no sales.

Other revenues amounted to respectively €1.78 million and €1.60 million, for the years ended 2019 and 2018. These amounts mainly include the Research Tax Credit (CIR) reaching respectively €1.72 million and €1.32 million for the financial years 2019 and 2018. The increase in the CIR in 2019 reflects the ongoing R&D efforts in the development of the Prima System.

The French tax authorities grant research tax credits to businesses as an incentive to carry out technical and scientific research. Businesses with eligible expenditure (research carried out in France or, since 1 January 2005, within the European Community or any State party to the agreement on the European Economic Area having signed a tax treaty with France containing a mutual administrative assistance clause) benefit from a tax credit, which they may offset against corporation tax due for the financial year in which the expenses have been incurred and the three subsequent financial years. Where applicable, they may request reimbursement of any surplus tax credit amounts. Only research expenses are considered in the calculation of the research tax credit.

The Company has not capitalized R&D expenses in 2019 and 2018. Therefore, research tax credit amounts relating to its research programs have been recorded in full into operating income over the period.
