Bagneux (France) - Genomic Vision (FR0011799907 - GV), a company specialized in the development of in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) tests for the early detection of cancers and genetic diseases and applications for life sciences research (LSR), today announced its revenue and cash position1 at March 31, 2019.
First quarter 2019 revenue

Sales of products and services increased by +144% to €420 thousand in the first quarter of 2019, reflecting the sale of a FiberVision® platform to the laboratories of the University of Oxford and solid sales traction for FSHD tests in China by its partner, AmCare.
1 Unaudited data
By market, the sales analysis is as follows:
- on the LSR segment: +150% to €320 thousand thanks to the sale of the FiberVision® platform to the University of Oxford and the growth in sales of services;
- on the IVD segment: +127% to €100 thousand, essentially consisting of recurring sales within the installed client base, notably driven by sales of FSHD tests in China with its partner, AmCare.
Total revenue amounted to €495 thousand (+100%) in the first quarter of 2019, including €75 thousand in revenue from the R&D collaboration with Quest Diagnostics corresponding to the distribution throughout the year of license payments.
Total revenue from activity was €713 thousand in the first quarter of 2019, once other revenue of €218 thousand corresponding to tax credits (research tax credit, innovation tax credit) and R&D subsidies are taken into account, up +14% compared with the first quarter of 2018.
Financial structure at March 31, 2019
Genomic Vision had cash and cash equivalents of €2.7 million at March 31, 2019 compared with €3.2 million at December 31, 2018, given the reimbursement of the interest-free loan obtained from Quest Diagnostics in the fall of 2018 for €0.3 million and the setting up of a bridging loan for €1.5 million granted on March 25, 2019 within the framework of the structured financing with Winance. This loan was repaid on April 16, 2019 via a capital increase through the offsetting of loans subscribed to by Winance within the framework of the drawdown of the first €1.5 million tranche. Cash burn over the period was €2.1 million.
The Company has financial visibility beyond the upcoming 12 months thanks to the structured financing implemented with Winance via the reserved ABSA (shares with equity warrants attached) issue for a total of €5 million in 4 tranches, as described in the Prospectus granted visa number 19- 122 by the AMF French stock market authority on March 29, 2019.
FiberVision S, a platform intended for the academic and pharmaceutical research market
Genomic Vision demonstrated its new automated scanner dedicated to applications for research laboratories, FiberVision S, at the AACR (American Association for Cancer Research) Annual Meeting that was held from April 1st to 4, 2019 in Atlanta, Georgia (USA). These demonstrations sparked much interest from researchers, as this platform includes new features such as the calibration of the wavelength spectrum. More compact and versatile, it should extend the use of the DNA replication test, which is increasingly being used to understand the mechanisms of action of molecules developed in oncology, in the screening of new anti-cancer agents and, eventually, in predicting the efficacy of certain treatments before they are administered to patients.
