Exhibit 99.1
Purple Biotech Reports Second Quarter 2023 Financial
Results
Financial results represent clinical
trials progress with recruitment at a pace faster than expected in CM24 Phase 2 study
Clinical data from both studies
expected in the coming months
Cash runway extended into H1 2025
REHOVOT, Israel, August 22, 2023 -- Purple Biotech
Ltd. (“Purple Biotech” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ/TASE: PPBT), a clinical-stage company developing first-in-class therapies
that harness the power of the tumor microenvironment to overcome tumor immune evasion and drug resistance, today announced financial results
for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023.
“During the second quarter of 2023 we
continued to advance our lead clinical programs, CM24 in the treatment of pancreatic cancer and NT219 for head and neck cancer,
while prudently managing our development and operating expenses. Our financial results in the first half of 2023 represent our
clinical trials’ progress with recruitment at a pace faster than expected in our CM24 study. As we reprioritize our objectives from
time to time, we have extended our cash runway into the first half of 2025,” stated Purple Biotech CEO, Gil Efron.
“In the coming months, we look forward
to announcing milestones including interim data from our randomized Phase 2 CM24 study as well as results from our Phase 1 NT219
dose escalation study. In addition, we are excited to commence work on IM1240, our newly acquired tri-specific antibody.”
“I am excited to return to working with our
dedicated team after my medical leave. I would like to thank Isaac Israel, the management, and our employees for their great work during
my absence,” Gil Efron added.
Financial Results for the three Months Ended
June 30, 2023
Research and Development Expenses were $3.7
million, an increase of $1.7 million or 85%, compared to $2 million in the same period of 2022 mainly due to higher enrollment rate to
our clinical trials.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses were
$1.4 million, a decrease of $0.1 million or 7%, compared to $1.5 million in the same period of 2022.
Operating Loss was $5.1 million, an increase
of $1.5 million or 42% compared to $3.6 million in the same period of 2022 mainly due to higher research and development expenses.
On a non-IFRS basis (as reconciled
below), adjusted operating loss was $4.6 million, an increase of $1.6 million or 53%, compared to $3 million in the
same period of 2022 mainly due to higher research and development expenses.
Net Loss for the three months ended June
30, 2023 was $5.2 million, or $0.25 loss per basic and diluted ADS, compared to a net loss of $3.6 million, or $0.2 loss per basic and
diluted ADS, in the three months ended June 30, 2022. Adjusted net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $4.7 million,
an increase of $1.7 million or 57% compared to $3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Financial Results for the Six Months Ended
June 30, 2023
Research and Development Expenses were $7.2
million, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 10%, compared to $8 million in the same period of 2022. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease
of $3.4 million in chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (CMC) expenses representing batch manufacturing in 2022, offset by an increase of $2 million in clinical expenses and
$0.6 million in other research and development expenses in support of our growing clinical and development activities.
Sales, General and Administrative Expenses were
$3.0 million, compared to $2.9 million in the same period of 2022, an increase of $0.1 million.
Operating Loss was $10.3 million, a decrease
of $0.6 million, or 6%, compared to $10.9 million in the same period of 2022.
On a non-IFRS basis (as reconciled below), adjusted
operating loss was $9 million, a decrease of $1 million, compared to $10 million in the same period of 2022, mainly due to a
decrease in research and development expenses.
Net Loss for the six months ended June
30, 2023 was $10.0 million, or $0.49 loss per basic and diluted ADS, compared to a net loss of $10.9 million, or $0.61 loss per basic
and diluted ADS, in the same period of 2022. The decrease in net loss was mainly due to a decrease of $0.6 million in operating expenses.
Adjusted net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $8.8 million, a decrease from $10.0 million in the six months ended
June 30, 2022.
As of June 30, 2023, Purple Biotech had cash and
cash equivalents and short-term deposits of $18.0 million. This cash position provides a cash runway into the first half of 2025.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company
sold, under the Open Market Sale Agreementsm with Jefferies LLC, approximately 479,000 ADSs, at an average price of $1.83 per
ADS. Net proceeds to the Company were approximately $0.85 million, net of direct issuance expenses.
Non-IFRS Financial Measures.
This press release includes information about certain
financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), including
adjusted operating loss and adjusted net loss. These non-IFRS measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by IFRS
and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Adjusted operating loss and adjusted net loss adjust
for share-based compensation expenses. The Company’s management and board of directors utilize these non-IFRS financial measures to evaluate
the Company’s performance. The Company provides these non- IFRS measures of the Company’s performance to investors because its management
believes that these non- IFRS financial measures, when viewed with the Company’s results under IFRS and the accompanying reconciliations,
are useful in identifying underlying trends in ongoing operations. However, these non- IFRS measures are not measures of financial performance
under IFRS and, accordingly, should not be considered as alternatives to IFRS measures as indicators of operating performance. Further,
these non-IFRS measures should not be considered measures of the Company’s liquidity. A reconciliation of certain IFRS to non-IFRS financial
measures has been provided in the tables included in this press release.
About Purple Biotech
Purple Biotech Ltd. (NASDAQ/TASE: PPBT) is a clinical-stage
company developing first-in-class therapies that seek to overcome tumor immune evasion and drug resistance. The Company’s oncology pipeline
includes NT219, CM24 and IM1240. NT219 is a dual inhibitor, novel small molecule that simultaneously targets IRS1/2 and STAT3. In a Phase
1/2 study of NT219, the Company is currently advancing it in a dose escalation as a monotherapy treatment of solid tumors, and in a dose
escalation in combination with cetuximab for the treatment of recurrent and metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN)
or colorectal adenocarcinoma (CRC). These studies will be followed by an expansion phase of NT219 at its recommended Phase 2 level in
combination with cetuximab in patients with recurrent and metastatic SCCHN. CM24 is a humanized monoclonal antibody that blocks CEACAM1,
an immune checkpoint protein that supports tumor immune evasion and survival through multiple pathways. The Company is advancing CM24
as a combination therapy with anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors in a Phase 2 study for the treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
(PDAC). The Company has entered into a clinical collaboration agreement with Bristol Myers Squibb for the Phase 2 clinical trials to evaluate
the combination of CM24 with the PD-1 inhibitor nivolumab in addition to chemotherapy. IM1240 is a preclinical, conditionally-activated
tri-specific antibody that engages both T cells and NK cells to mount a strong, localized immune response within the tumor microenvironment.
The third arm specifically targets the Tumor Associated Antigen (TAA) 5T4 that is expressed in a variety of solid tumors and is correlated
with advanced disease, increased invasiveness and poor clinical outcomes. IM1240 has a cleavable capping technology that confines the
compound’s therapeutic activity to the local tumor microenvironment, and thereby potentially increases the anticipated therapeutic window
in patients. The Company’s corporate headquarters are located in Rehovot, Israel. For more information, please visit https://purple-biotech.com/.

Certain statements in this press release that are
forward-looking and not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that
are not statements of historical fact, and may be identified by words such as “believe”, “expect”, “intend”,
“plan”, “may”, “should”, “could”, “might”, “seek”, “target”, “will”,
“project”, “forecast”, “continue” or “anticipate” or their negatives or variations of these words
or other comparable words or by the fact that these statements do not relate strictly to historical matters. You should not place undue
reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are not guarantees of future performance. Forward-looking statements reflect our current
views, expectations, beliefs or intentions with respect to future events, and are subject to a number of assumptions, involve known and
unknown risks, many of which are beyond our control, as well as uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance
or achievements to be significantly different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking
statements. Important factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, among others, risks relating to: the plans,
strategies and objectives of management for future operations; product development for NT219, CM24 and IM1240; the process by which such
early stage therapeutic candidates could potentially lead to an approved drug product is long and subject to highly significant risks,
particularly with respect to a joint development collaboration; the fact that drug development and commercialization involves a lengthy
and expensive process with uncertain outcomes; our ability to successfully develop and commercialize our pharmaceutical products; the
expense, length, progress and results of any clinical trials; the impact of any changes in regulation and legislation that could affect
the pharmaceutical industry; the difficulty in receiving the regulatory approvals necessary in order to commercialize our products; the
difficulty of predicting actions of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or any other applicable regulator of pharmaceutical products;
the regulatory environment and changes in the health policies and regimes in the countries in which we operate; the uncertainty surrounding
the actual market reception to our pharmaceutical products once cleared for marketing in a particular market; the introduction of competing
products; patents obtained by competitors; dependence on the effectiveness of our patents and other protections for innovative products;
our ability to obtain, maintain and defend issued patents; the commencement of any patent interference or infringement action against
our patents, and our ability to prevail, obtain a favorable decision or recover damages in any such action; and the exposure to litigation,
including patent litigation, and/or regulatory actions, and other factors that are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the
year ended December 31, 2022 and in our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including our
cautionary discussion of risks and uncertainties under “Risk Factors” in our Registration Statements and Annual Reports. These
are factors that we believe could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected results. Other factors besides those we
have listed could also adversely affect us. Any forward-looking statement in this press release speaks only as of the date which it is
made. We disclaim any intention or obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement or other information contained
herein, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. You are advised, however,
to consult any additional disclosures we make in our reports to the SEC, which are available on the SEC’s website, https://www.sec.gov.

6 - Financial Instruments
Framework
for risk management
The
Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group’s risk management framework.
The
Group’s risk management practice was formulated to identify and analyze the risks that the Group faces, to set appropriate limits
for the risks and controls, and to monitor the risks and their compliance with the limits. The risk policy and risk management methods
are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and in the Group’s operations. The Group acts to develop an effective
control environment in which all employees understand their roles and commitment.
Credit
risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a debtor or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations,
and arises mainly from the Company’s receivables. The Group restricts exposure to credit risk by investing only in bank deposits.
The
Group held cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits of USD 18,048 thousand at June 30, 2023 (and at December 31, 2022 –
USD 31,682 thousand). These are held with banks, which are rated A2, based on Moody’s Rating Agency ratings. The short-term deposits,
mainly in USD, bear fixed interest ranging between 0.05% - 5.3%.
The
carrying amounts of certain financial assets and liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, short term deposits, other investments,
other current assets, accounts payables and other payables are the same or proximate to their fair value.

Note
6 - Financial Instruments (cont’d)
| A. | Risk
management (cont’d) |
Market
risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign currency exchange rates, the CPI, interest rates and the prices of equity
instruments, will influence the Group’s results or the value of its holdings in financial instruments. The objective of market
risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing returns.
The
Group hedges the foreign currency risk exposure that derives from salary expenses by means of foreign currency derivatives.
In
the framework of assessing whether the aforesaid hedging relationships qualify for hedge accounting, the Group applies the mandatory
reliefs set forth in the amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, Interest
Rate Benchmark Reform.
Therefore,
as of June 30, 2023 the Group is of the opinion that these hedging relationships continue to qualify for hedge accounting.
The
Group is exposed to currency risk mainly for cash and for research and development expenses that are denominated in NIS and EURO. Therefore,
the Group is exposed to exchange rate fluctuations in these currencies against the dollars and takes steps to reduce the currency risk
by maintaining its liquid resources in accordance with its future needs.

On
June 15, 2023, an annual general meeting of the Company’s shareholders was held, and the equity grant to the board members was
approved.
These
options listed above were measured using the binominal model. The following inputs were used in the measurement of the fair value of

Expected Volatility (%) |
96.04% - 93.54% |
Expected Duration (years) |
2-5 |
Exercise Coefficient |
2 - 2.8 |
Dividend Yield (%) |
0% |

- 4.31% |
The
annual Expected Volatility applied was based on the historical weighted average volatility of the company, for a period corresponding
to the share options’ contractual term.
The
risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the United States Treasury yield curve effective
at the time of grant.
During
