BiondVax Announces First Quarter 2021 Financial Results and Provides Business Update

 

Jerusalem, Israel – June 23, 2021 – BiondVax Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (Nasdaq: BVXV), a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing, manufacturing and ultimately commercializing products for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases and related illnesses, today published its first quarter financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. A summary is included in the tables below.

 

First Quarter 2021 Financial Summary

 

Results are in New Israel Shekels (NIS) and convenience translation to $US is provided using the exchange rate of 3.334 (NIS/$US), the rate as of the close of business on March 31, 2020.

 

Total operating expenses were NIS 6.7 million ($2.0 million) compared with NIS 20.0 million for the first quarter of 2020

Out of the operating expenses, first quarter R&D expenses amounted to NIS 2.75 million ($0.83 million) compared with NIS 19.0 million for the first quarter of 2020

 

The decrease in total operating expenses, including the R&D expenses, compared to the first quarter of 2020 was primarily attributable to expenses related to a Phase 3 clinical trial and related operations at our manufacturing facility. As previously reported, the trial concluded in Q4 2020. As of March 31, 2021, BiondVax had cash and cash equivalents of NIS 48.6 million ($14.6 million) as compared to NIS 9.4 million as of December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to a follow-on offering on Nasdaq conducted by the Company in February 2021, providing net proceeds of approximately $12.8 million after fees and underwriter discounts. As previously reported, as of May 12, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of NIS 46 million (approximately $14 million).

About BiondVax

 

BiondVax Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (NASDAQ: BVXV) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing, manufacturing and ultimately commercializing products for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases and related illnesses. The Company had been developing M-001, a novel influenza vaccine candidate that was designed to provide multi-strain and multi-season protection against current and future seasonal and pandemic influenza. In seven Phase 1/2 and Phase 2 clinical trials designed to test for immunogenicity, the Company was able to demonstrate M-001 was effective in stimulating an immune response to a broad range of influenza virus strains. In October 2020, the Company completed a Phase 3 clinical trial of M-001 which failed to meet the trial’s primary and secondary efficacy endpoints. The Company is now pursuing opportunities in the infectious disease space towards development of a pipeline of diversified products and platforms.

NOTE 1: GENERAL

 

a. BiondVax Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (“the Company”) is focused on developing and ultimately commercializing products for prevention and treatment of infectious diseases and related illnesses. The Company was incorporated on July 21, 2003 in Israel, and started its activity on March 31, 2005. The Company’s principal executive offices and main laboratory are located at Jerusalem BioPark, 2nd floor, Hadassah Ein Kerem Campus, Jerusalem, Israel, next to Hadassah University Hospitals and Hebrew University’s Medical School.

 

b. On May 15, 2015, the Company completed a public offering of securities in the United States.

 

c. On March 28, 2017, the Company received an approval from the Investment Center of the Ministry of Economy and Industry of the State of Israel, for a grant (“the Grant”) representing 20% of a NIS 20,000 budget to be utilized towards the construction of a factory for the production of Phase 3 and commercial batches of the Company’s product. The receipt of the Grant was subject to certain terms and conditions, including those outlined under the Israeli Encouragement of Capital Investment Law,1959. The terms and conditions included, inter alia, the following: (a) at least 24% of the investments in the planned manufacturing facility’s fixed assets would be financed by additional share capital; (b) the Company would maintain its intellectual property and manufacturing facility in Israel for a period of at least 10 years.

 

To the report date the Investment Center of the Ministry of Economy and Industry of the State of Israel has yet to approve the grant to the company.

 

d. On June 19, 2017, the Company entered into a Finance Contract with the European Investment bank (EIB) for a total amount of € 20,000 (approximately $ 23,200) and up to 50% of the Company’s expected cost of developing and marketing the Company’s product candidate, M-001. In addition, as repayment features, EIB was entitled to receive the higher between 3% of any M-001 sales revenues for a period of ten years, or realizing a cash-on-cash multiple of 2.8 times.

 

e. On April 22, 2019, the EIB agreed to expand the 2017 financing agreement to the Company by an additional € 4,000 to a total of € 24,000 (approximately $ 27,600).

 

f. On October 23, 2020, the Company announced Phase 3 clinical trial results of its M-001 universal vaccine product. The results did not demonstrate a statistically significant difference between the vaccinated group and the placebo group in reduction of flu illness and severity. Therefore, the study failed to meet both the primary and secondary efficacy endpoints. However, the study’s primary safety endpoint was met.

 

g. On January 26, 2021, the EIB notified us, among other things, that they will not consider the failure of our pivotal phase 3 trial for M-001 to meet the primary and secondary efficacy endpoints as a trigger for prepayment of the loan extended under the Finance Contract. However, the EIB cautioned us that their letter is not a consent, agreement, amendment or waiver in respect of the terms of the Finance Contract, reserving any other right or remedy the EIB may have now or subsequently. There is no guarantee that the decision by the EIB in their letter will not change at any time and without any notice or that the EIB will not determine that an event of default has occurred under the Finance Contract, which could result in all loans extended under the Finance Contract being accelerated and secured creditor remedies being exercised. If some or all of the loans under the Finance Contract are accelerated by the EIB, or secured creditor remedies are exercised, we expect such events to adversely impact our ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 1: GENERAL (Cont.)

 

h. On January 21, 2021, the Company announced the appointment of Amir Reichman as its new Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Reichman and Dr. Ron Babecoff, its founder and former CEO, shared duties during a transition period while Mr. Reichman completed his former work obligations. Effective March 2, 2021, Mr. Reichman assumed the CEO position full time and Dr. Babecoff continued as Senior Advisor to the Company.

 

i. On February 2, 2021, the Company closed an underwritten offering in which it sold 2,434,783 ADSs at a public offering price of $4.95 per ADS. On February 10, 2021, Aegis Capital Corp., the sole bookrunning manager for the underwritten offering, fully exercised its over-allotment option to purchase an additional 365,217 ADSs, bringing total gross proceeds to the Company from the offering including exercise of the over-allotment option of approximately $13,800. The Company received a net sum of $12,750 (approximately NIS 42,129).

 

j. In the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company incurred a loss of NIS 8,186 ($ 2,456) and negative cash flows from operating activities of NIS 3,864 ($ 1,160) and it has an accumulated deficit of NIS 332,979 ($ 99,874) as of that date.

 

To date the Company has not generated any revenues and will need additional funds to finance its operations in the future.

 

Furthermore, the Company intends to continue to finance its operating activities by raising capital. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in obtaining an adequate level of financing needed for its long-term research, development and potential commercialization activities.

 

If the Company will not have the sufficient liquidity resources, the Company may not be able to continue the development of its prospective products or may be required to implement a cost reduction and may be required to delay part of its development program. The Company’s management and Board of Directors are of the opinion that its current financial resources will be sufficient to continue the operations of the Company for at least the next twelve months.
