Exhibit 99.1
BiondVax announces Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results and Provides Business Update
JERUSALEM, Aug. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- BiondVax Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (Nasdaq: BVXV), which focuses on developing, manufacturing and commercializing innovative products for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases and other illnesses, today published its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 and provided a business update.
Business Update
● | Development of the NanoAb program is proceeding according to plan. A pilot quantity of the lead NanoAb, a COVID-19 therapy, was manufactured in-house then sent for preclinical inhalation device evaluation and selection of an inhaler for human use. |
● | In September 2022, BiondVax plans to initiate an inhalation proof of concept study with its anti-SARS-COV-2 NanoAbs in COVID-19 infected animals with readout expected in November 2022. |
● | BiondVax currently holds several anti-SARS-COV-2 NanoAb candidates, generated and initially characterized by Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences in Göttingen together with University Medical Center Göttingen and exclusively licensed from Max-Planck-Innovation GmbH, which demonstrated high affinity to and strong neutralization of COVID-19 VoCs including Omicron BA1&2 and will be testing them in the coming months for neutralization of BA2.75 and BA5. |
● | BiondVax received supportive Scientific Advice from the Paul Ehrlich Institute (PEI) for its COVID-19 NanoAb development plans. PEI supported BiondVax’s plan for first-in-human clinical trial to be conducted directly in sick patients as a combined Phase 1/2a, testing both safety and efficacy, thereby shortening BiondVax’s clinical development timelines. |
● | As part of their broader research collaboration with BiondVax, the researchers at Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences in Göttingen and University Medical Center Gottingen have been able to successfully isolate new NanoAbs targeting IL-17A/F and other cytokines, which can be used for treatment of other diseases such as psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, asthma, and macular degeneration. BiondVax has an exclusive option for an exclusive license to further develop and commercialize these drug candidates. |
Second Quarter 2022 Financial Summary
Results are in New Israel Shekels (NIS) and convenience translation to $US is provided using the exchange rate of 3.5 (NIS/$US), the rate as of the close of business on June 30, 2022.
● | R&D expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were NIS 6.5 million ($1.85 million) compared to NIS 1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Total R&D expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were NIS 10.1 million ($2.9 million) compared to NIS 4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. These increases were primarily due to drug development activities related to the new COVID-19 NanoAb program licensed from Max-Planck-Innovation GmbH in December 2021. |
● | Marketing, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were NIS 4.3 million ($1.2 million) compared to NIS 7.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Total marketing, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were NIS 8.9 million ($2.5 million) compared to NIS 11 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. These decreases were primarily due to salaries and related expenses of NIS 1.2 million and share based payment of NIS 1 million. |
● | Financial expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were NIS 2.1 million ($0.6 million) compared to NIS 3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Financial expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were NIS 3.2 million ($1 million) compared to NIS 4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. These decreases were primarily due to currency exchange differences and EIB loan financial expenses. |
● | Total operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were NIS 10.8 million ($3.1 million) compared to NIS 8.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Total operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were NIS 19 million ($5.5 million) compared to NIS 15.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. |
● | Net loss for the for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was NIS 12.9 million ($3.7 million) compared to NIS 12.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was NIS 22.3 million ($6.4 million) compared to NIS 20.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. These increases were primarily due to an increase in R&D expenses, offset by a decrease in marketing, general and administrative expenses as described above. |
As of June 30, 2022, BiondVax had cash and cash equivalents of NIS 39.5 million ($11.3 million) compared to NIS 54.0 million as of December 31, 2021.

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 M-001, the Company's former influenza vaccine candidate. 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. |
Following the failure of M-001 in Phase 3 clinical trials, BiondVax reapplied for disbursement of the Grant in light of its new agreements with Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences in Göttingen together with University Medical Center Göttingen. In July 2022, the Investment Center of the Ministry of Economy and Industry informed the Company that (i) the disbursement was not approved, due to the early stage of the Company’s NanoAb program and (ii) the Company may reapply for disbursement in March 2023, conditioned on the Company demonstrating meeting certain milestones related to the development of its NanoAb program. The Company intends to appeal the decision.
d. | 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. |
e. | On December 22, 2021, the Company signed definitive agreements with the Max Planck Society (“MPG”), the parent organization of the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, and the University Medical Center Göttingen (“UMG”), both in Germany, to enter into a strategic collaboration for the development and commercialization of innovative Covid-19 NanoAbs, effective from January 1, 2022. The agreements provide for an upfront payment, development and sales milestones and royalties based on sales and sharing of sublicense revenues. |
In accordance with the agreements, the Company issued 150,000 ADSs at no cost to MPG as an upfront payment for the license. The ADS are restricted for a period of three years. The company evaluated the fair value of the license at $153. The fair value was calculated by an independent valuation, at a discount rate of 31% under the following principles:

NOTE 1: GENERAL (Cont.)
On March 23, 2022, the Company executed an additional research collaboration agreement with MPG and UMG covering development and commercialization of NanoAbs for several other disease indications with large market sizes that leverage their unique binding affinity, stability at high temperatures, and potential for more effective and convenient routes of administration. These targets are the basis for validated and currently marketed monoclonal antibodies, including for conditions such as psoriasis, asthma, macular degeneration, and psoriatic arthritis.
f. | On March 23, 2022, the Company granted 170,132 RSUs to officers and employees. The fair value of the grants was NIS 753,084 ($233,081) and the RSUs vest in three years. |
g. | On May 31, 2022, the Company granted 15,500 RSUs to employees. The fair value of the grants was NIS 69,330 ($20,770) and the RSUs vest in three years. |
h. | In the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred a loss of NIS 22,268 (6,362) and negative cash flows from operating activities of NIS 14,802 ($4,229), and it had an accumulated deficit of NIS 387,039 ($110,583) as of that date. |
In the future, the Company may raise additional capital from external sources in order to continue the longer-term efforts contemplated under its business plan. The Company expects to continue incurring losses for the foreseeable future and may need to raise additional capital to pursue its product development initiatives, to penetrate markets for the sale of our Company product candidates and continue operations as presently maintained. The Company cannot provide any assurance that it will raise additional capital. Management believes that the Company has access to capital resources through possible public or private equity offerings, debt financings, corporate collaborations or other means; however, the Company has not secured any commitment for new financing at this time, nor can the Company provide any assurance that new financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it may be required to curtail its research and development initiatives and take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve cash in amounts sufficient to sustain operations and meet its obligations. These measures could cause significant delays in the Company’s efforts to commercialize its products, which is critical to the realization of the Company’s business plan and its future operations.
The Company’s management and Board of Directors are of the opinion that its current financial resources will be sufficient to continue the development of the Company’s products for at least the next twelve months.

NOTE 4: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On August 10, 2022, the company received approval by the European Investment Bank for the new terms of its outstanding €24 million loan to the Company.
The new terms include:
● | An extension of the maturity dates from 2023 (€20 million) and 2024 (€4 million) until December 2027. |
● | Interest on the Loan will begin to accrue starting January 1, 2022, at an annual rate of 7%. The interest payments will be deferred until the new maturity date and will be added to the principal balance at the end of each year during the loan period. |
● | $900 thousand (NIS 3,500 thousand) will be paid by BiondVax shortly after the execution of the relevant amendment letter with the EIB. This amount will be applied to reduce the outstanding Loan. Going forward 10% of any capital raises until maturity will be used to further repay the Loan principal including any outstanding accrued interest. |
● | When the company sales exceed €5 million, 3% of the topline revenues will be paid to the EIB as royalties until the EIB receives (from the Loan repayment, inter alia the interest and the royalties) the higher of (i) a total of 2.8 times the original €24 million principal (as provided in the original Loan agreement) and (ii) 20% IRR on the principal. |
● | In case the company decides to discharge all liabilities under the finance contract inter alia payments of the variable remuneration, the company would need to repay to the EIB an indemnity amount in addition to the Loan principle and the accrued interest. The indemnity will be calculated such that the EIB receives an additional payment equal to the greater of (i) the prepayment amount (i.e. twice the prepayment amount in the aggregate) and (ii) the amount required to realize 20% IRR on the prepayment amount at the time of prepayment. |
