Sales of products and services jumped by +193% to €437 thousand in the third quarter of 2017, including:

  • €161 thousand generated on the LSR market, up +21% compared to the third quarter of 2016 thanks to the ramping up of consumables, small equipment and services sales, especially for studying DNA replication;
  • €276 thousand generated on the IVD segment, mainly related to the sale of a FiberVision® platform to AmCare Genomics Laboratory in China in order to deploy the FSHD test, as well as the gradual ramping up of sales of FSHD probes to longstanding clients, notably to Quest Diagnostics in the US.

Total revenue from sales for the third quarter of 2017 increased by +122% to €512 thousand, and includes €75 thousand of R&D income corresponding to the distribution throughout the year of license payments by Quest Diagnostics.

Total revenue from activity for the third quarter equaled to €701 thousand (+27%), taking into account other revenue of €189 thousand corresponding to tax credits (research tax credit, innovation tax credit) and R&D subsidies.

Over the first 9 months of the year:

  • sales of products and services jumped by +162% to €1.1 million;
  • total revenue from sales doubled to €1.3 million;
  • total revenue from activity increased by +22% to €2.2 million.

Financial structure at September 30, 2017

At September 30, 2017, Genomic Vision had cash and cash equivalents of €1.0 million, versus €2.9 million at June 30, 2017. This figure does not include the reimbursement of €1.4 million in research and innovation tax credits pertaining to 2016 cashed-in on October 19, 2017. The cash position at September 30, 2017 – which includes €0.5 million from the drawdown of a tranche of convertible notes with warrants during the third quarter – gives net third-quarter cash burn of €2.4 million, partially affected by payments relating to non-recurrent costs associated with the rationalization initiated in the second quarter of 2017.

Given the €7.5 million in additional financing available in the form of convertible notes with warrants (drawdown of a fifth tranche on October 3, 2017) and measures taken to reduce operating costs, Genomic Vision has the necessary resources to continue, for the next 12 months, its targeted expansion in the replication markets for the pharmaceutical industry, safety control in genome editing and the sale of molecular combing equipment and services for academic research, while continuing to step up the marketing of its innovative IVD diagnostic solutions.

Fréderic Tarbouriech, CFO of Genomic Vision, commented: “In the third quarter, our growth stepped up thanks to a solid traction on all the markets we are targeting with our innovative offer in the field of genomics. This gradual ramp up is the result of the work undertaken by our sales teams, who sold several FiberVision® platforms to international clients in various life sciences sectors during the first 9 months of 2017. This substantial demand for our innovative solutions demonstrates the polyvalence and reliability of molecular combing, which makes us confident that our growth will accelerate in the coming quarters, while we ensure the allocation of our financial resources to projects with the greatest added value.”
