1. BUSINESS PERFORMANCE REVIEW

Key Highlights and Year-to-Date Events

Commercial products

  • Sotalol IV, a novel, patented, IV formulation of oral Sotalol for the treatment of atrial fibrillation, and life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias developed for the US: During the first six months of 2022, the partner expanded medical and sales teams in order to accelerate commercial roll-out, inclusion in hospital drug formularies and clinical education of hospital staff.
  • Maxigesic® IV, a novel, unique combination for the treatment of post-operative pain is currently licensed to partners covering over 100 countries across the globe. During the first six months of 2022, the geographical base where Maxigesic IV is approved has been broadened to 40 countries and additional marketing authorizations have been granted in Italy, Norway, Greece, Indonesia, Oman, Netherlands, Portugal, Finland, Bahrain, Kosovo, Singapore and Hong-Kong.

Marketing authorisations are pending in several additional countries including Canada, Mexico and the US.

Maxigesic® IV (for the US):

In July 2022, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) informed Hyloris' development partner, AFT Pharmaceuticals, via a Complete Response Letter (CRL), that it was unable to complete its review of the NDA for Maxigesic® IV and provided specific recommendations needed to address the application's deficiency. Importantly, the agency did not report any issues related to data generated during Maxigesic® IV's clinical development program, and the deficiency is confined solely to the Quality section of the application dossier and related to drug product packaging. Hyloris will generate additional data on extractables and leachables from the packaging components to respond to the FDA's information request. Both parties remain committed to Maxigesic® IV and ensuring the product fulfils its commercial potential in the US. Additional studies as requested by FDA are under preparation and expected to begin in Q4 2022 and will take a few months to complete. Upon the completion of the studies, the submission to FDA will be made.

Other Developments Related to Maxigesic® IV:

Additional patents were granted across multiple jurisdictions including Japan, Singapore, Canada, Mexico, China and the US. , which range in exclusivity from 2035-2038

R&D and regulatory update

  • Aspirin IV is a first-in-class intravenous (IV) formulation of acetylsalicylic acid that could significantly improve treatment outcomes of patients with acute coronary syndromes, or ACS. Hyloris and its partner have completed the clinical phase of the study to assess the pharmacokinetics of this product candidate. Hyloris has contracted with a manufacturing organization to produce registration batches in preparation for an NDA submission to the FDA.
  • Milrinone is a novel, patented, extended-release capsule that has been developed for twicea-day, convenient oral dosing for end-stage heart failure (HF) patients with an implanted left ventricular assist device (LVAD) who have developed right HF. The extended release formulation of milrinone in an oral form would provide a steady and predictable exposure of milrinone as well as allow for longer term use in a capsule form. The Company reported it held

a successful Type C meeting with the FDA, confirming development plans for an extendedrelease milrinone capsule in this patient population with a high unmet need.

Oral Tranexamic Acid Solution formulation (HY-004): The program is being developed for patients on anti-coagulant therapies undergoing dental procedures that have a risk of bleeding complication, is progressing to a Phase 3 clinical trial after positive data reported from healthy subjects undergoing tooth extraction.

AlenuraTM:

The partner has written and soon will submit to FDA several protocols for the next clinical trials as part of the development of AlenuraTM, a first-line drug treatment for acute pain in interstitial cystitis /bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS), and the first of these clinical trials should start later this year.

Miconazole/DB:

Hyloris is co-developing a topical synergistic combination treatment for Recurrent Vulvovaginal Candidiasis (rVVC), a condition that affects nearly 10 % of women during their lifetime. MCZ/DB has a strong scientific and business rationale. A Phase 2 clinical trial is ongoing and recruitment should be completed by the end of the year.

Other programs:

These added-value programs are on track as planned as stated 6 months ago. Several discussions are being held with regulatory agencies to confirm and validate development plans.

Corporate update

  • Successfully raised a total of €17.8 million in gross proceeds, from new and existing, local and international investors, through (1) an equity offering by means of a private placement via an accelerated bookbuild and (2) execution of transaction warrants.
  • Renegotiated the Shareholder loan terms resulting in
    • o Lower interest rate at 0.75% versus 4% as from 1 January 2022
      • o Setup new credit line from shareholders covering the portion of reimbursed capital allowing to guarantee the same level of liquidity for the company.
  • Hyloris' shareholders approved all resolutions at the 2022 Annual General Meeting.
  • Further strengthened the team and built internal capabilities with key hires.

Total revenue and other income

During the first six months of 2022, total revenue and other operating income increased to €1,229 thousand compared to €1,145 thousand in the first half-year of 2021. The continuous growth is mainly driven by royalty related income from commercialized products and R&D services rendered by the Group.

Results

The Group realised a net loss of €4,942 thousand for the six-month period ending 30 June 2022, compared to a net loss of €8,240 thousand for the first half-year of 2021.

While last year net loss was mainly driven by the renegotiation and unwinding of the license agreements with the Alter Pharma Group (one-off Other Operating expenses of €5.770 thousand million), in the first half of this year the net loss is mainly resulting from the increase in R&D expenditure.

R&D expenditure during the first six months of 2022 amounted to €4,712 thousand, compared to €1,560 thousand for the first half-year of 2021. The increase was mainly driven by the costs related to outsourced and internal product development activities, which is driven by the pipeline expansion and the further development of current product candidates.

Cash Position

The Group maintains its strong cash position, with a current cash and cash equivalents totalled €57,687 thousand on 30 June 2022, compared to €53,465 thousand on 30 June 2021.

A net increase of €7,675 thousand in cash and cash equivalents was recorded for the six-month period ending 30 June 2022, compared to a net decrease of €10,934 thousand during the first half-year of 2021. The net increase was mainly driven by net proceeds from capital transaction of €17,169 thousand off set by (1) net cash out generated from operating activities of €6,401 thousand and (2) cash out due to partial reimbursement of shareholders' Loans and payment of interests of €2,324 thousand. Compared to a net cash outflow for the same period in 2021 of €10,934 thousand, driven by the net operational cash burn of €9,282 thousand, impacted by one-time other expenses, and committed milestone investments in joint ventures (net cash used in investing activities).

A detailed overview and explanation of the condensed interim financial statements are available in the Notes of this report.

Outlook for the Remainder of 2022

Pipeline expansion: The Company re-stated that its goal remains to add at least four new reformulated or repurposed product candidates through in-licensing or joint ventures by

the end of 2022 in line with its goal to build a portfolio of 30 products and product candidates by 2024.

Commercial products:

  • i) Maxigesic IV, ex-U.S.: continue roll-out in Europe and Rest of World
  • ii) Maxigesic IV for the U.S.: Submit requested additional information to the U.S. FDA in support of the new drug application (NDA)
  • iii) Sotalol IV: accelerate roll-out in the U.S.

With cash and cash equivalents of €57.7 million at 30 June 2022, the Group is well-capitalised to advance all current pipeline assets as planned and execute its current business plan with the expectation to expand the portfolio to 30 product candidates - and marketed products by 2024.

Significant Events and Transactions

On 1 April 2022 Hyloris announced that it has successfully raised an amount of € 15 million in gross proceeds, from new and existing, local and international investors, through an equity offering by means of a private placement via an accelerated bookbuild offering of 967,742 new shares (being approximately 3.7% of the Group's outstanding shares (pre-transaction)) at an issue price of EUR 15.50 per share (the "Offering"), representing a discount of 1.6% to the 30-day VWAP.

On 20 June 2022 Hyloris successfully renegotiated the Shareholder loans which results in :

  • Loans denominated in USD are converted in EUR;
  • A new actual interest rate, effective as from 1 January 2022, of 0.75% instead of 4%;
  • A payment of interests up to 20 June 2022 (€1,265 thousand);
  • A reimbursement of the outstanding principal amount owed to Pieter Van Rompay (€1,059 thousand), who made a cash credit line available for the same amount with the same maturity (0.55% reservation fee);
  • An one-off and non-cash expenses of €484 thousand corresponding to the impact of fair value and the exchange rate differences on these loans ).

On 22 June 2022 Hyloris increased Capital and Share Premium with respectively €6 thousand and €2,826 thousand through the exercise of 1,200,000 outstanding Transactions Warrants. As per date of this report, the total number of shares with voting rights that can be issued following the exercise of the attributed warrants is 711,125.

4. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. General Information

Hyloris Pharmaceuticals SA (the "Company" or "Hyloris") is a limited liability company governed by Belgian law. The address of its registered office is Blvd Gustave Kleyer 17, 4000 Liège, Belgium.

Hyloris is a specialty biopharma Group focused on innovating, reinventing, and optimising existing medications to address important healthcare needs and deliver relevant improvements for patients, healthcare professionals and payors. Hyloris has built a broad, patented portfolio of 14 reformulated and repurposed value-added medicines that have the potential to offer significant advantages over available alternatives.

Two products are initial stages of commercialisation with partners: Sotalol IV for the treatment of atrial fibrillation, and Maxigesic® IV, a non-opioid post-operative pain treatment. The Group's development strategy primarily focuses on the FDA's 505(b)2 regulatory pathway, which is specifically designed for pharmaceuticals for which safety and efficacy of the molecule have already been established. This pathway can reduce the clinical burden required to bring a product to market, and significantly shorten the development timelines and reduce costs and risks.

Implication of the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine

The geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe intensified on 24 February 2022, with Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The war between the two countries continues to evolve as military activity proceeds and additional sanctions are imposed.

Although the Russia-Ukraine war is not expected to cause disruption in the Groups' operations, (i) the Group continue to monitor the situation and (ii) is taking measures to mitigate the impact on her ability to conduct clinical development activities.

These interim condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on 31 August 2022 and are available on the Hyloris website.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of preparation

The Group's condensed consolidated financial statements for the 6-month period ended 30 June 2022 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 – Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union and comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together to as 'the Group')

This condensed consolidated financial information does not include all the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2021, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS, as adopted by the European Union. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to the understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements.

The condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Euro (€) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (€'000) which may result in minor discrepancies in the totals and sub-totals disclosed in the financial tables and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.

These financial statements are prepared on an accrual basis and on the assumption that the entity is in going concern and will continue in operation in the foreseeable future (see below).

The preparation of the interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in the process of applying the Group accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 3.

Change in accounting policies

The same accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation have been applied in these interim condensed financial statements as were applied in the preparation of the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, except for the impact of the adoption of new Standard and Interpretations as described below:

  • Amendments to IFRS3 Business Combinations (effective January 1, 2022, and endorsed in EU): These amendments update a reference in IFRS 3 to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting without changing the accounting requirements for business combinations.
  • Amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment (effective January 1, 2022, and endorsed in EU): These amendments prohibit a company from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company will recognize such sales proceeds and related cost in profit or loss. The amendments also clarify that testing whether an item of PPE is functioning properly means assessing its technical and physical performance rather than assessing its financial performance.
  • Amendments to IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (effective January 1, 2022, and endorsed in EU): These amendments specify which costs a company includes when assessing whether a contract will be loss-making. The amendments clarify that the 'costs of fulfilling a contract' comprise both: the incremental costs; and an allocation of other direct costs.
  • Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018–2020 make minor amendments to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 41 Agriculture and the Illustrative Examples accompanying IFRS 16 Leases

The above mentioned IFRS pronouncement did not have a significant impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Following the Group's mitigation of its foreign currency risk, a new accounting policy has been defined and described here below.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Group holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency. Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. A derivative with a positive fair value is

recognised as a financial asset whereas a derivative with a negative fair value is recognised as a financial liability. Derivatives are not offset in the financial statements unless the Group has both legal right and intention to offset. A derivative is presented as a non-current asset or a non-current liability if the remaining maturity of the instrument is more than 12 months and it is not expected to be realised or settled within 12 months. Other derivatives are presented as current assets or current liabilities.

3. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements for the 6-month period ended 30 June 2022, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

The significant judgments made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and key sources of estimations uncertainty were the same as those described in the last annual financial statements.

4. Financial Instruments Fair Value Disclosures

The table below summarises all financial instruments by category in accordance with IFRS 9:

(in € thousand) IFRS 9 Category 30-Jun-22 31-Dec-21
Non-current financial assets FVTPL 1,012 453
Non-current financial assets At amortised cost 481
Trade receivables At amortised cost 1,822 2,026
Other financial assets FVTPL 314 528
Other (non-) current assets* At amortised cost 1,453 1,490
Cash and cash equivalents At amortised cost 57,687 50,012
Total financial assets 62,741 54,509
Non-current financial liabilities
Lease liabilities At amortised cost 38 109
Other financial liabilities At amortised cost 500 300
Current financial liabilities
Lease liabilities At amortised cost 28 65
Other financial liabilities At amortised cost 9,823 11,815
Trade payables At amortised cost 1,824 2,622
Total financial liabilities 12,213 14,911

* Other (non-) current assets that are not financial assets (pre-paid expenses / R&D tax credit receivables) are not included

The Group considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortized costs in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements approximate their fair values.

5. Operating Segments

According to IFRS 8, reportable operating segments are identified based on the "management approach". This approach stipulates external segment reporting based on the Group's internal organisational and management structure and on internal financial reporting to management.

The Group's activities are managed and operated in one segment, pharmaceuticals. There is no other significant class of business, either individual or in aggregate. As such, management reviews the operating results and operating plans and makes resource allocation decisions on a Group wide basis.

Revenues generated during the six-month period ending 30 June 2022 mainly relates to royalties generated from one third party customer, Alta Thera , from out-licensing Maxigesic® IV by our partner AFT Pharmaceuticals and revenue for R&D, strategic advice and services rendered.

Geographical information

Revenue reported in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, and other comprehensive income and non-current assets recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position are located in Belgium, country of domicile of the Group.

6. Intangible Assets

In the 6-month period ended 30 June 2022, the movements in intangible assets are mainly related to the patent and regulatory related expenses for Maxigesic® IV.

The intangible assets related to capitalised development are not amortised until the moment they are available for use as intended by management, i.e. ready for commercialization. The development costs of Sotalol IV, for which amortisation already started, have a remaining useful life of 2.5 years. As from January 1, 2022 the development costs of Maxigesic® IV incurred related (future) commercialisation outside the U.S. (Rest of the World), are subject to amortisation as our partner AFT Pharmaceuticals obtained Market Approval in 39 Countries (€ 19 thousand).

As long as the assets are not amortised, they are tested for any impairment losses on an annual basis or more frequently if required. No impairment triggering events have been identified. No impairment loss has been recognised during the period.

No intangible assets have been pledged in the context of financial liabilities.

Under the terms of the agreement, Hyloris provided via a €1,000 thousand automatically non-interest bearing convertible loan (whereof as of per 31 December 2021 €500 thousand was paid to Pleco Therapeutics). On 1 June 2022, Pleco Therapeutics issued new shares and conform the agreement, the loan has been converted into shares. The Group received 7,944 preferred shared at an issuing price of €126 per share (which result in a 4.67% ownership of the company Pleco Therapeutics).

In the first 6 months of 2022, the Group actively mitigated its foreign exchange risk (USD exposure) utilizing forward foreign exchange contracts for a total nominal value of \$6 million, whereof as per end of June \$3 million is still outstanding.

The increase of Share Capital and Share premium over the period can be explained by (i) the successful Capital raise through an equity offering by means of a private placement via an accelerated bookbuild offering and (ii) the execution of transaction Warrants (see Significant Events and Transactions).

The movement of other reserves over the period can be explained by (i) the increase of €273 thousand resulting from the share-based payment expenses associated with the ESOP warrants and (ii) the recognition of cost of capital of €634 thousand as a result of the capital transactions conducted in the first 6 months of 2022.

They are classified under "Cost of sales", "Research and development expenses", "Selling, General and administrative expenses" and "Other operating expenses" with respect to the six-month period ending 30 June 2022:

(in € thousand) 30 June 2022 30 June 2021
Amortisation expense of intangible assets 40 22
Depreciation expense of property, plant and equipment 15 4
Employee benefit expenses and management fees 1,749 1,212
Board related expenses 91 94
Share based payments 274 261

Selling, General and Administrative expenses 1,274 1,608
Other operating expenses - 5,770
Earnings/losses from Associates and Joint Ventures 58 78

In accordance with IAS 38, the Group does not capitalise its research and development expenses until it has strong evidence that the technical and product development feasibility condition is met (i.e. when filing for marketing approval from the relevant regulatory authorities for the applicable product candidate).

Research and Development expenditures incurred during the the six-month period ending 30 June 2022 were accounted for as operating expenses and increased to €4,712 thousand, mainly driven by higher costs for outsourced product development activities (more product candidates in pipeline).

Employee benefit expenses and management feesincurred during the first half-year of 2022 increased to €1,749 thousand, driven by the enlargement of the Group's structure and key hires.

Despite the enlargement of the Group's structure and key hires, Selling, General and Administrative expenses decreased by 21% to €1,274 thousand during the six-month period ending 30 June 2022, compared to €1,608 thousand in the same period in 2021. The difference is related to the reclassification of employee benefit expenses from SG&A expenses to R&D expenses for workers that are now fully dedicated to the R&D activities.

In the six-month period ending 30 June 2022, no other operating expenses are recognized, compared to an amounted of €5,770 thousand in the same period in 2021, which was driven by the successful renegotiation and unwinding of the license agreements for multiple lead products with the Alter Pharma Group.

Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent (after adjusting for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares. No effects of dilution affect the net profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Group. The table below reflects the income and share data used in the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the six-month period ending 30 June 2022:

On 31 December 2019, the Group issued a plan of 363,300 warrants in the context of an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP warrants). The 2019 plan is subject to conditions so that it will vest gradually over the next four years (25% after 1 year, and 1/48 for every additional month). The Group offered in total 353,000 warrants. As of 30 June 2022, all offered warrants were accepted and 41,875 warrants lapsed. The remaining warrants of the 2019 plan already lapsed as at 31 December 2020.

On 27 November 2020, the Group issued a new plan of 400,000 warrants.

As at 30 June 2022, no warrants has been accepted and therefore it has no impact in the interim financial statements.

The fair value of the warrants has been determined based on the Black Scholes model. For the plans issued in 2017 and 2019, the expected volatility is based on the historical share price volatility over the past 5 years of listed peer companies. For new plan issued as from 2020, the expected volatility is based on the historical share price volatility since listing of the Group and bench marked with listed peer companies.

22. Events after the End of the Reporting Period

Maxigesic® IV

The FDA has informed Hyloris' development partner, AFT Pharmaceuticals, via a Complete Response Letter, that it was unable to complete its review of the NDA for Maxigesic IV® and has provided recommendations needed to address the application's deficiency. Importantly, the agency did not report any issues related to data generated during Maxigesic IV®'s clinical development program, and the deficiency is confined solely to the Quality section of the application dossier, and more specifically to revise a risk assessment of the required leachable compound study.

Hyloris and her development partner will need to re-submit a toxicological risk assessment for all leachable compounds based on confirmed compounds quantified using validated methods. The request required by the FDA falls well within the parameters of our normal operational budget and can be completed expeditiously, requiring no additional clinical data to be generated. Hyloris remains committed to Maxigesic IV®, and ensuring the product fulfills its commercial potential in the U.S.

Positive results from Phase 1 Study of HY-004

The study results showed that HY-004 was found to be well-tolerated under varied conditions with no serious adverse events following tooth extraction, while effectively controlling procedural bleeding without delaying clot formation. Hyloris also plans to investigate its use for broader related indications in patients undergoing oral surgical procedures with or without bleeding disorders that would benefit from a locally-acting antifibrinolytic agent.

Potential litigation with AltaThera Pharmaceuticals LLC

AltaThera Pharmaceutials LLC has filed a complaint before the District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (Eastern Division) against Academic Pharmaceuticals Inc, Dr. Somberg and Hyloris Pharmaceuticals, for (e.g.) alleged misappropriation of AltaThera's trade secrets and confidential information and breach of contract. Hyloris is fully confident in its defense to the litigation given the strength of its case and no contingencies have been established.
