Revenue from sales totaled €552 thousand in the first quarter of 2020, up 11.5% compared to the first quarter of 2019. Sales of products notably include the sale of a platform to the Leibnitz Institute on Aging - Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) in Germany.

Total revenue from activity, once other revenue is taken into account, was down 5.9% in the first quarter of 2020 compared to the same quarter of 2019. Other revenue, which totaled €121 thousand, mainly corresponds to Research Tax Credit, which was lower than last year as a result of the restructuring plan that led to a reduction in the R&D headcount. Moreover, contrary to 2019, no subsidies were booked in the first quarter of 2020.

Financial structure at March 31, 2020

Genomic Vision had cash and cash equivalents of €1.2 million at March 31, 2020, versus €1.1 million at December 31, 2019. This improvement takes into account the drawdown of the third tranche of €1 million within the framework of the ABSA (shares with equity warrants attached) equity financing program set up with Winance in March 2019. Cash burn, excluding capital increase, was €0.9 million in the first quarter of 2020, reflecting good control over the Company’s spending and working capital requirements.

As announced in its press release of May 18, 2020, the Company completed the drawdown of the fourth and final tranche of the equity financing line and its partner, Winance, also exercised the warrants associated with the third tranche. The Company has thus strengthened its cash position and shareholders' equity by €1.9 million, and now has the necessary resources to develop its activities over the remainder of the year.

Impact of the Covid-19 crisis

The global economic slowdown associated with the lockdown has also affected Genomic Vision’s main clients and prospects. It will probably have a significant impact on revenue over the coming quarters, although this should not jeopardize the financial prospects mentioned above, given the good control of cash burn.
