FINANCIALS Q1 2022
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In the first quarter of 2022, we recorded revenues of EUR 115 thousand (Q1 2021: EUR 106 thousand). Product sales increased slightly from EUR 106 thousand in Q1 2021 to EUR 110 thousand in Q1 2022. As a consequence of the Covid 19 pandemic and due to the fact, that we could not achieve a reimbursement in the U.S. market yet, the U.S. business remained at a low level.
Cost of sales was EUR 26 thousand in Q1 2022 (Q1 2021: EUR 23 thousand). Our gross margin was 77% in the first quarter of 2022 (Q1 2021: 78%).
Other income of EUR 805 thousand in Q1 2022 (Q1 2021: EUR 1,096 thousand) includes EUR 719 thousand for exchange rate gains from currency translation and EUR 85 thousand for income from reversal of provisions and correction of deferred liabilities.
R&D costs increased strongly as planned from EUR 737 thousand in Q1 2021 to EUR 1,401 thousand in Q1 2022. After almost all clinical trials came to a standstill in the previous year due to Covid-19, patient enrollment in trials is increasing again. After the end of short-time work (mid-September 2021), full-time work was again performed on projects at the Berlin site, so that R&D-related expenses for this increased. In addition, additional personnel were recruited in the USA for the "Next-Gen" study.
Our selling and administrative expenses increased to EUR 2,015 thousand in the first quarter of 2022 from EUR 1,601 thousand in the same period of 2021, mainly due to the preparation of U.S. market studies for future market development there.
Other expenses of EUR 125 thousand in the first quarter of 2022 (Q1 2021: EUR 15 thousand) were exclusively attributable to exchange rate losses from currency translation.
Overall, our operating costs increased to EUR 3.6 million in Q1 2022 compared to EUR 2.4 million in the same period of the previous year for the reasons mentioned above.
In Q1 2022, we incurred a net loss of EUR 2.7 million (Q1 2021: EUR 1.2 million). The net loss per share for the quarter decreased from EUR 0.20 in the previous year to EUR 0.17. This decrease in the net loss was caused by the capital measures implemented in 2021 and the resulting increase in the number of shares.
FINANCIAL POSITION AND CASH FLOW
In the first quarter of 2022, the cash outflow from operating activities increased by EUR 877 thousand from EUR 2,397 thousand to EUR 3,274 thousand. This is attributable to the year-on-year increase in operating profit before depreciation and amortization and share-based compensation in the reporting period.
The cash inflow from investing activities of EUR 996 thousand in the first quarter of 2021 was offset by a cash outflow of EUR 134 thousand in the reporting period. When making this comparison, it should be noted that in 2021 a cash inflow of EUR 984 thousand resulted from the sale of marketable securities.
The cash outflow from financing activities amounted to EUR 96 thousand in the first three months of 2022, compared with a cash inflow of EUR 5,267 thousand in the same period of the previous year. The background to the change was the issue of convertible bonds in the first quarter of 2021. Payments for leases are included in financing cash flow in the amount of EUR 86 thousand (Q1 2021: EUR 66 thousand).
Our net cash flow for the first quarter of 2022 was EUR -3,504 thousand (Q1 2021: EUR -3,866 thousand).
Cash and cash equivalents usage increased to EUR 3,408 thousand in the first three months of 2022 compared to EUR 2,386 thousand in the same period of the previous year.
Cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 20,039 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 1.6 million. The increase was mainly due to the application of IFRS 16, under which rights of use from rental and lease agreements for the San Diego site amounting to EUR 0.6 million were capitalized. Current assets decreased from EUR 23.7 million at the beginning of the reporting period to EUR 20.8 million as of March 31, 2022, mainly as a result of cash consumption for operating activities in the first quarter.
Total equity decreased by EUR 3.0 million to EUR 19.1 million as of the reporting date (December 31, 2021: EUR 22.1 million). The equity ratio decreased to 85.1% 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 769 thousand as of March 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021: EUR 400 thousand). This mainly includes liabilities from rental and lease agreements in the amount of EUR 728 thousand.
Current liabilities increased from EUR 2.1 million as of December 31, 2021 to EUR 2.6 million as of March 31, 2022.
