The earnings per share (basic and diluted) are calculated by dividing the Group's net loss for the period by the weighted-average number of shares issued and admitted to trading in the respective period. The outstanding stock options and convertible notes issued by the Company are anti-dilutive according to IAS 33,41 and 33,43. Therefore, the earnings per share (diluted) equal the earnings per share (basic) for the nine-month period 2021 and 2022 and for Q3 2022. In Q3 2022, the weighted-average number of shares issued was 12,232,30. In Q3 2022, the weighted-average number of shares issued was 16,357,482, in Q3 2021 the weighted-average number of shares issued was 12,232,303 and 17,861,767 diluted. In the first nine months 2021, the weighted-average number of shares issued was 16,231,521 (9M 2021: 9,763,305).

FINANCIALS Q3 UND 9M 2022
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In Q3 2022, we recorded revenues of EUR 145 thousand (Q3 2021: EUR 5,799 thousand). The same period of the previous year included revenue from the sale of large parts of our blood sample database (the "Biobank") in the amount of EUR 5,675 thousand. In the first nine months of 2022, total revenue decreased to EUR 386 thousand compared to EUR 6,022 thousand in the nine-month period of 2021, with product revenue increasing from EUR 119 thousand in the third quarter of 2021 to EUR 140 thousand in the third quarter of 2022. In the nine-month period, it increased by 12% - from EUR 330 thousand to EUR 371 thousand and thus remained at a similar level as in the previous year.
Cost of sales was EUR 36 thousand in Q3 2022 (Q3 2021: EUR 44 thousand) and EUR 94 thousand in the first nine months of 2022 (9M 2021: EUR 92 thousand). Our gross margin decreased from 99% in Q3 2021 to 75% in the same period in 2022 as well as in 9M 2022, mainly due to the very low cost of sales on the sale of Biobank in 2021.
Other income of EUR 2,093 thousand in Q3 2022 (Q3 2021: EUR 667 thousand) was mainly due to foreign currency translation gains and is related to the appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the euro.
R&D costs increased from EUR 681 thousand in Q3 2021 to EUR 1,830 thousand in Q3 2022. In the nine-month period, R&D costs showed a strong increase of EUR 2,744 thousand, from EUR 2,226 thousand in the previous year to EUR 4,970 thousand in the reporting period. The background to this is that additional personnel were recruited for the "Next-Gen" study in the USA. In addition, patient enrollment in the studies increased again after almost all clinical studies came to a standstill in the previous year due to Covid 19. At the Berlin site, we have been working full-time on projects again since September 2021, so R&D-related expenses also increased here compared to the previous year.
Our distribution and administrative expenses decreased to EUR 1,732 thousand in the third quarter of 2022 from EUR 2,789 thousand in the same period of 2021. In the first nine months, distribution and administrative expenses decreased by EUR 494 thousand from EUR 5,809 thousand in the previous year to EUR 5,315 thousand in the reporting period. In 2021, costs were still incurred in connection with the sale of the biobank. However, a provision of EUR 429 thousand had to be recognized in the reporting period for a repayment of subsidies received in 2017.
Other expenses of EUR 190 thousand in Q3 2022 (Q3 2021: EUR 102 thousand) were exclusively attributable to foreign currency translation losses.
Overall, our operating costs increased to EUR 3.8 million in Q3 2021 compared to EUR 3.6 million in the same period of the previous year for the reasons mentioned above and decreased in a nine-month comparison from EUR 8.9 million in the first nine months of 2021 to EUR 11.3 million in the same period of the reporting year.
A net loss of EUR 1.6 million incurred in Q3 2022 (Q3 2021: net profit EUR 2.8 million), which added up to EUR 5.5 million for the nine-month period of 2022 (9M 2021: EUR 0.7 million). The net loss per share amounted to EUR 0.10 in Q3 2022 (Q3 2021: earnings per share EUR 0.23). The net loss per share for the first nine months of 2022 was EUR 0.34, higher than in the same period of the previous year (9M 2021: EUR 0.07). In the same period of the previous year, earnings per share were significantly positively impacted by the sale of parts of the Biobank.

FINANCIAL POSITION AND CASH FLOW
In the first nine months of 2022, cash outflow from operating activities increased by EUR 4,830 thousand from EUR 3,599 thousand (9M 2021) to EUR 8,429 thousand due to the significant year-on-year decrease of EUR 4,709 thousand in operating profit before depreciation, amortization, and share-based payments in the reporting period.
The cash inflow from investment activities of EUR 985 thousand in the first nine months of 2021 was offset by a cash outflow of EUR 489 thousand in the reporting period. In 2021, EUR 984 thousand resulted from the sale of marketable securities. In 2022, we also invested in the expansion of the laboratory at the San Diego site.
Cash outflow from finance activities amounted to EUR 428 thousand in the first nine months of 2022 compared to a cash inflow of EUR 22,118 thousand in the same period of the previous year. There were no corresponding financing activities in the first nine months of 2022 as in the comparable period of 2021. Payments for leases are included in financing cash flow in the amount of EUR 247 thousand (9M 2021: EUR 185 thousand).
Our net cash flow for the first nine months of 2022 was EUR -9,346 thousand (9M 2021: EUR 19,504 thousand).
Cash consumption increased to EUR 8,918 thousand in the first nine months of 2022 compared to EUR 3,598 thousand in the same period of the previous year. In this context, we refer to the risks mentioned below with regard to the financing of the Company.
Cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 15,773 thousand as of the reporting date (December 31, 2021: EUR 23,049 thousand).
NET ASSET POSITION
As of the reporting date, non-current assets increased from EUR 1.0 million as of December 31, 2021, to EUR 2.1 million. The increase was mainly due to the capitalization of rights of use from rental and lease agreements for the San Diego site in the amount of EUR 0.6 million. Current assets decreased from EUR 23.7 million at the beginning of the reporting period to EUR 16.9 million as of September 30, 2022, mainly as a result of the cash consumption for operating activities in the reporting period.
Total equity decreased by EUR 8.2 million to EUR 13.9 million as of the reporting date (December 31, 2021: EUR 22.1 million). The equity ratio decreased to 73.4% as of the reporting date (December 31, 2021: 89.7%).
Compared with the closing balance sheet as of December 31, 2021, non-current liabilities increased to EUR 678 thousand as of September 30, 2022 (December 31, 202: EUR 400 thousand). This mainly includes liabilities from rental and lease agreements in the amount of EUR 629 thousand.
Current liabilities increased from EUR 2.1 million as of December 31, 2021 to EUR 4.4 million as of September 30, 2022, mainly due to the additional provisions and the capitalization of rights of use as described above.
OPPORTUNITIES AND RISKS
The opportunities and risks to which the business activities of our Company are exposed are described in detail in the Group management report, which we published together with the consolidated financial statements for 2021. The Company is dependent on substantial financial resources for the development of the "Next-Gen" product and for the continuation of its business operations. In all likelihood, this will require further financing by the middle of next year. These financial statements are available on our website (www.epigenomics.com).

REPORT ON POST-REPORTING DATE EVENTS
On October 21, 2022, an Extraordinary General Meeting was held in Munich as a virtual event without the physical presence of shareholders due to the Board of Management's notice of loss pursuant to Section 92 (1) AktG. Attendance was around 26% of the capital stock. The Executive Board presented the development of the capital stock in its report. Stockholders' questions were answered in advance and were also possible during the Extraordinary Stockholders' Meeting. A vote was held on the following agenda items:
- Resolution on the reduction of the capital stock by cancellation of shares in the simplified procedure and simplified procedure and amendment to the Articles of Association
- Resolution on the reduction of the capital stock by means of the ordinary capital reduction by consolidation of shares for the purpose of offsetting losses and transfer to the capital reserve of the Company and amendment of the Articles of Association
The shareholders approved the management's proposals for both items on the agenda.

OUTLOOK
Due to exchange rate gains and lower study costs, we updated our revenue and earnings guidance for the full year 2022 on September 19, 2022:
- Revenue 2022: EUR 0.3 million to EUR 0.8 million (unchanged).
- EBITDA before share-based payment 2022: EUR -10.5 million to -11.5 million (before: EUR -15.0 million to EUR -17.0 million)
- Cash consumption 2022: EUR 14.5 million to EUR 15.5 million (before: EUR 15.0 million to EUR 17.0 million)
With regard to EBITDA before share-based compensation: Depending on the further development of the EUR/USD exchange rate, it cannot be excluded that the forecast range may be exceeded or fallen short of by the end of the year. Despite the lack of predictability of the exchange rate development, we will adjust the outlook accordingly, once foreseeable.
