The Company is a Swiss stockholding corporation domiciled c/o Addex Pharma SA, Chemin des Aulx 12, CH1228 Plan-les-Ouates, Geneva, Switzerland and the parent company of Addex Pharma SA, Addex Pharmaceuticals France SAS and Addex Pharmaceuticals Inc. Its registered shares are traded at the SIX, Swiss Exchange, under the ticker symbol ADXN. On January 29, 2020, the Group listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, American Depositary Shares (ADSs) under the symbol “ADXN”, without a new issuance of securities. ADSs represents shares that continue to be admitted to trading on SIX Swiss Exchange.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been approved for issuance by the Board of Directors on August 9, 2023.

2. Basis of preparation

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, have been prepared under the historic cost convention and in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” and are presented in a format consistent with the consolidated financial statements under IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. However, they do not include all of the notes that would be required in a complete set of financial statements. Thus, this interim financial report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of results anticipated for the full year. The preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements made in accordance with IAS 34 requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment which are significant to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are disclosed in note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

A number of new or amended standards and interpretations became applicable for financial reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The Group noted that the latter did not have a material impact on the Group’s financial position or disclosures made in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout these interim condensed consolidated financial statements may not add up precisely to the totals provided. All ratios and variances are calculated using the underlying amounts rather than the presented rounded amounts.

Where necessary, comparative figures have been revised to conform with the current year 2023 presentation.

3. Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. These estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities or may have had a significant impact on the reported results are disclosed below:

Going concern

The Group’s accounts are prepared on a going concern basis. To date, the Group has financed its cash requirements primarily from share issuances and licensing certain of its research and development stage products. The Group is a development-stage enterprise and is exposed to all the risks inherent in establishing a business. The Group expects that its existing cash and cash equivalents, at the issuance date of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, will not be sufficient to fund its operations and meet all of its obligations as they fall due for a period of 12 months. These factors individually and collectively indicate that a material uncertainty exists that raise substantial doubt about the Group's ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date of issuance of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The future viability of the Group is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital through public or private financings or collaboration agreements to finance its future operations, which may be delayed due to reasons outside of the Group’s control. The sale of additional equity may dilute existing shareholders. The inability to obtain funding, as and when needed, would have a negative impact on the Group’s financial condition and ability to pursue its business strategies. If the Group is unable to obtain the required funding to run its operations and to develop and commercialize its product candidates, the Group could be forced to delay, reduce or stop some or all of its research and development programs to ensure it remains solvent. Management continues to explore options to obtain additional funding, including through collaborations with third parties related to the future potential development and/or commercialization of its product candidates. However, there is no assurance that the Group will be successful in raising funds, entering collaboration agreements, obtaining sufficient funding on terms acceptable to the Group, or if at all, which could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

COVID-19

In early 2020 a coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic developed globally resulting in a significant number of infections and negative effects on economic activity. The Group is actively monitoring the situation and is taking any necessary measures to respond to the situation in cooperation with the various stakeholders. On June 17, 2022 the Group terminated its dipraglurant US registration program including pivotal Phase 2B/3 and open label clinical trials of dipraglurant in levodopa-induced dyskinesia associated with Parkinson’s disease (PD-LID) due to a slow recruitment of patients, attributed to the consequences of COVID-19 related patient concerns about participation in clinical studies, as well as staffing shortages and turnover within study sites. Depending on the duration of the COVID-19 crisis and continued negative impact on global economic activity, the Group may have to take additional measures that will have a negative impact on the Group’s business continuity and may experience certain liquidity restraints as well as incur impairments on its assets. The exact impact on the Group’s activities in 2023 and thereafter cannot be reasonably predicted.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

On February 24, 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. The resulting conflict and retaliatory measures by the global community have created global security concerns, including the possibility of expanded regional or global conflict, which have had, and are likely to continue to have, short-term and more likely longer-term adverse impacts on Ukraine and Europe and around the globe. Potential ramifications include disruption of the supply chain including research and development activities being conducted by the Group and its strategic partners. The Group and partners rely on global networks of contract research organizations to engage clinical study sites and enroll patients, certain of which are in Russia and Ukraine. Delays in research and development activities of the Group and its partners could increase associated costs and, depending upon the duration of any delays, require the Group and its partners to find alternative suppliers at additional expense. In addition, the conflict in Eastern Europe has had significant ramifications on global financial markets, which may adversely impact the ability of the Group to raise capital on favorable terms or at all.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is primarily from fees related to licenses, milestones and research services. Given the complexity of the relevant agreements, judgements are required to identify distinct performance obligations, allocate the transaction price to these performance obligations and determine when the performance obligations are met. In particular, the Group’s judgement over the estimated stand-alone selling price which is used to allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations is disclosed in note 15.

Table of Contents

Grants

Grants are recorded at their fair value when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and recognized as income when the Group has satisfied the underlying grant conditions. In certain circumstances, grant income may be recognized before explicit grantor acknowledgement that the conditions have been met.

Accrued research and development costs

The Group records accrued expenses for estimated costs of research and development activities conducted by third party service providers based upon the estimated amount of services provided but not yet invoiced, and these costs are included in accrued expenses on the balance sheets and within research and development expenses in the statements of comprehensive loss. These costs are a significant component of research and development expenses and due to the nature of estimates, the Group may be required to make changes to the estimates as it becomes aware of additional information about the status or conduct of its research activities.

Research and development costs

The Group recognizes expenditure incurred in carrying out its research and development activities, including development supplies, until it becomes probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Group, which results in recognizing such costs as intangible assets, involving a certain degree of judgement. Currently, such development supplies are associated with pre-clinical and clinical trials of specific products that have not demonstrated technical feasibility.

Share-based compensation

The Group recognizes an expense for share-based compensation based on the valuation of equity incentive units using the Black-Scholes valuation model. A number of assumptions related to the volatility of the underlying shares and to the risk-free rate are made in this model. Should the assumptions and estimates underlying the fair value of these instruments vary significantly from management's estimates, then the share-based compensation expense would be materially different from the amounts recognized.

Pension obligations

The present value of the pension obligations is calculated by an independent actuary and depends on a number of assumptions that are determined on an actuarial basis such as discount rates, future salary and pension increases, and mortality rates. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount of pension obligations. The Group determines the appropriate discount rate at the end of each period. This is the interest rate that should be used to determine the present value of estimated future cash outflows expected to be required to settle the pension obligations. In determining the appropriate discount rate, the Group considers the interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related pension liability. Other key assumptions for pension obligations are based in part on current market conditions.

4. Interim measurement note

Seasonality of the business: The business is not subject to any seasonality, but expenses and corresponding revenue are largely determined by the phase of the respective projects, particularly with regard to external research and development expenditures.

Costs: Costs that incur unevenly during the financial year are anticipated or deferred in the interim report only if it would also be appropriate to anticipate or defer such costs at the end of the financial year.

5. Segment reporting

Management has identified one single operating segment, related to the discovery, development and commercialization of small-molecule pharmaceutical products.

7. Other current assets

Prepayments	1,003,491	270,394
Total other current assets	1,522,517	871,875

Other current assets increased by CHF 0.7 million as of June 30, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022 primarily due to increased prepayments in Directors and Officers (D&O) Insurance premium and retirement benefits paid annually at the beginning of the year. The Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses (“ECL”), which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all contract assets, trade receivables and other receivables. As of June 30, 2023, the combined amount of the contract asset, trade receivables and other receivables primarily relating to the research agreement with Indivior, amounted to CHF 0.5 million compared to CHF 0.6 million as of December 31, 2022 and decreased by CHF 0.1 million primarily due to the payment of the grant by Eurostars/Innosuisse in Q1 2023. The Group considers contract asset, trade receivables and other receivables have a low risk of default based on historic loss rates and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the third parties to settle invoices. As a result, expected loss allowance has been deemed as nil as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The Group maintains a liquidity agreement with Kepler Cheuvreux (“Kepler”). Under the agreement, the Group has provided Kepler with cash and shares to enable them to buy and sell the Company’s shares. As of June 30, 2023, 155,345 (December 31,2022: 128,200) treasury shares are recorded under this agreement in the treasury share reserve and CHF 2,466 (December 31,2022: CHF 3,165) is recorded in other financial assets.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, the Group sold 3,742,506 treasury shares under the sale agency agreement with Kepler Cheuvreux at an average price of CHF 0.31 per share with a gross proceed of CHF 1,176,781.

On June 14, 2023 the Company issued 17,600,000 new shares from its capital band to its 100% owned subsidiary, Addex Pharma SA, at CHF 0.01. These shares are held as treasury shares, hence the operation does not impact the outstanding share capital.

On April 3, 2023, the Group entered into a securities purchase agreement with one institutional investor. The Group sold 7,999,998 treasury shares in the form of 1,333,333 ADSs at a price of USD 0.95 per ADS (CHF 0.14 per share) and 23,578,950 pre-funded warrants, in the form of 3,929,825 ADSs at a price of USD 0.94 per ADS (CHF 0.14 per share) with a remaining strike price of USD 0.01 per ADS. During the second quarter of 2023, the institutional investor exercised 3,502,950 pre-funded warrants in a form of 583,825 ADSs allowed by the issuance of 3,502,950 new shares through our listed conditional capital. The new issued shares will be registered in the trade register in early 2024 in accordance with Swiss corporate law. As of June 30, 2023, 20,076,000 pre-funded warrants in a form of 3,346,000 ADSs were remaining to be exercised. The total gross proceeds from the offering amounted to USD 5.0 million (CHF 4.5 million) and directly attributable share offering costs of CHF 0.2 million were recorded as a deduction in equity. In addition, the Group granted the institutional investor, 31,578,948 warrants, in the form of 5,263,158 ADSs, with a strike price of USD 1.00 per ADS (CHF 0.15 per share) and an exercise period expiring on April 5, 2028. The fair value of the warrants amounts to CHF 1.78 million and has been recorded in equity as cost of the offering. The Group also reduced the strike price to USD 1.00 per ADS and extended the exercise period to April 5, 2028 of 9,230,772 warrants in the form of 1,538,462 ADSs issued on December 21, 2021 and 15,000,000 warrants in the form of 2,500,000 ADSs issued on July 26, 2022. These amendments to the exercise conditions resulted in an increase in the total fair value of CHF 0.96 million that has been recorded in equity as a cost of the offering.

On February 2, 2022, the Company issued 16,000,000 new shares from the authorized capital to its 100% owned subsidiary, Addex Pharma SA, at CHF 1.00. These shares are held as treasury shares, hence the operation does not impact the outstanding share capital. Directly attributable share issuance costs of CHF 0.2 million were recorded as a deduction in equity.

13. Share-based compensation

The total share-based compensation expense recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss for equity incentive units granted to directors, executives, employees and consultants for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 amounted to CHF 490,601 and CHF 921,797, respectively (CHF 659,259 and CHF 2,099,311 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022). The decrease of CHF 0.2 million and CHF 1.2 million for the three-month and six-month periods is primarily related to the increase in fair value of equity incentive units during the first quarter of 2022 following the modification of certain terms on January 4, 2022.

As of June 30, 2023, 13,949,886 options were outstanding (respectively 777,000 options as of December 31, 2022). During the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, the Group granted 13,172,886 options with vesting over 4 years and a 10-year exercise period of which 12,736,209 options exercisable at CHF 0.13 and 436,677 options exercisable at CHF 0.10.

As of June 30, 2023, 17,431,572 shares benefiting from our Deferred Strike Price Payment Plan (DSPPP) were outstanding (respectively 17,438,883 shares as of December 31, 2022). During the first half of 2023, 7,311 shares have been forfeited from our DSPPP. All the shares benefiting from our DSPPP have been recorded as treasury shares in accordance with IFRS 2 (see note 12).

Swiss Life communicated a decrease in conversion rate in the first quarter of 2023 and in the second quarter of 2022, which led to a positive past service cost for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022.

The amounts recognized in the balance sheet are determined as follows:


	June 30, 2023	December 31, 2022
Defined benefit obligation	(8,495,027)	(7,682,529)
Fair value of plan assets	8,369,164	7,867,835
Effect of asset ceiling	—	(185,306)
Funded status shortfall	(125,863)	—

As of June 30, 2023, the funded status has a shortfall of CHF 0.1 million compared to a surplus of CHF 0.2 million as of December 31, 2022 not recorded as an asset in accordance with the asset ceiling rules and minimum funding requirements. This decrease in funded status is primarily due to the discount rate that decreased from 2.30% as of December 31, 2022 to 1.85% as of June 30, 2023.

15. Revenue from contract with customer

License & research agreement with Indivior PLC

On January 2, 2018, the Group entered into an agreement with Indivior for the discovery, development and commercialization of novel GABAB PAM compounds for the treatment of addiction and other CNS diseases. This agreement included the selected clinical candidate, ADX71441. In addition, Indivior agreed to fund a research program at the Group to discover novel GABAB PAM compounds.

The contract contains two distinct material promises and performance obligations: (1) the selected compound ADX71441 which falls within the definition of a licensed compound, whose rights of use and benefits thereon was transferred in January 2018 and, (2) the research services to be conducted by the Group and funded by Indivior to discover novel GABAB PAM compounds for clinical development that may be discovered over the research term of the agreement and selected by Indivior.

Indivior has sole responsibility, including funding liability, for development of selected compounds under the agreement through preclinical and clinical trials, as well as registration procedures and commercialization, if any, worldwide. Indivior has the right to design development programs for selected compounds under the agreement. Through the Group’s participation in a joint development committee, the Group reviews, in an advisory capacity, any development programs designed by Indivior. However, Indivior has authority over all aspects of the development of such selected compounds.

Under terms of the agreement, the Group granted Indivior an exclusive license to use relevant patents and know-how in relation to the development and commercialization of product candidates selected by Indivior. Subject to agreed conditions, the Group and Indivior jointly own all intellectual property rights that are jointly developed and the Group or Indivior individually own all intellectual property rights that the Group or Indivior develop individually. The Group has retained the right to select compounds from the research program for further development in areas outside the interest of Indivior including Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 1A neuropathy, or CMT1A, chronic cough and pain. Under certain conditions, but subject to certain consequences, Indivior may terminate the agreement.

In January 2018, the Group received, under the terms of the agreement, a non-refundable upfront fee of USD 5.0 million for the right to use the clinical candidate, ADX71441, including all materials and know-how related to this clinical candidate. In addition, the Group is eligible for payments on successful achievement of pre-specified clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones totaling USD 330 million and royalties on net sales of mid-single digits to low double-digits.

On February 14, 2019, Indivior terminated the development of their selected compound, ADX71441. Separately, Indivior funds research at the Group, based on a research plan to be mutually agreed between the parties, to discover novel GABAB PAM compounds. These future novel GABAB PAM compounds, if selected by Indivior, become licensed compounds. The Group agreed with Indivior to an initial research term of two years, which can be extended by twelve month increments and a minimum annual funding of USD 2 million for the Group’s R&D costs incurred. R&D costs are calculated based on the costs incurred in accordance with the contract. Following Indivior’s selection of one newly identified compound, the Group has the right to also select one additional newly identified compound. The Group is responsible for the funding of all development and commercialization costs of its selected compounds and Indivior has no rights to the Group’s selected compounds. The initial two-year research term was expected to run from May 2018 to April 2020. In 2019, Indivior agreed to an additional research funding of USD 1.6 million, for the research period. On October 30, 2020, the research term was extended until June 30, 2021 and Indivior agreed to additional research funding of USD 2.8 million. Effective May 1, 2021, the research term was extended until July 31, 2022 and Indivior agreed additional research funding of CHF 3.7 million, of which CHF 2.7 million has been paid to the Group and CHF 1.0 million paid directly by Indivior to third party suppliers that are supporting the funded research program. In August 2022, the research agreement was extended until March 31, 2023 and Indivior agreed to additional research funding of CHF 0.85 million. The reserved indications, where Addex retains exclusive rights to develop its own independent GABAB PAM program, have also been expanded to include chronic cough. Effective November 1, 2022, the research term was extended until June 30, 2023 and Indivior agreed to additional research funding of CHF 0.95 million. At the end of the first half of 2023, Indivior agreed to extend the research contract for one year terminating on June 30, 2024 and provide additional funding.

For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, the Group recognized CHF 0.6 million and CHF 1.1 million as revenue (For the three- month and the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, CHF 0.2 million and CHF 0.4 million, respectively) and recorded a combined amount of CHF 0.4 million in contract asset and trade receivable as of June 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022: CHF 0.4 million).

Janssen Pharmaceuticals Inc. (formerly Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals Inc)

On December 31, 2004, the Group entered into a research collaboration and license agreement with Janssen Pharmaceuticals Inc. (JPI). In accordance with this agreement, JPI has acquired an exclusive worldwide license to develop mGlu2 PAM compounds for the treatment of human health. The Group is eligible to receive up to EUR 109 million in success-based development and regulatory milestone, and low double-digit royalties on net sales. The Group considers these various milestones to be variable considerations as they are contingent upon achieving uncertain, future development stages and net sales. For this reason, the Group considers the achievement of the various milestones as binary events that will be recognized as revenue upon occurrence.

No amounts have been recognized under this agreement in the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

16. Other income

Under a grant agreement with Eurostars/Innosuisse the Group is required to complete specific research activities within a defined period of time. The Group’s funding is fixed and received based on the satisfactory completion of the agreed research activities and incurring the related costs. The Group was awarded a grant by Eurostars/Innosuisse in 2019 for CHF 0.5 million of which CHF 0.38 million and CHF 0.12 million were received in October 2019 and February 2023, respectively. As a consequence, receivables related to Eurostars/Innosuisse were nil as of June 30, 2023 (CHF 0.12 million as of December 31, 2022).

The Group additionally recognized other income from IT consultancy agreements.
