EXHIBIT NO. DESCRIPTION 99.1 Press Release: Evogene Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021 Financial Results. 99.2Evogene Corporate Presentation –March 2022.

Conference call and webcast: today, March 10, 2022, 9:00 am ET
Rehovot, Israel – March 10, 2022 – Evogene Ltd. (NASDAQ: EVGN, TASE: EVGN), a leading computational biology company targeting to revolutionize life-science product discovery and development across multiple market segments, announced today its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2021, ended December 31, 2021.
Mr. Ofer Haviv, Evogene's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "With 2022 well on its way and our subsidiaries successfully advancing on their developmental activities, we believe that we are progressing to significant value enhancing milestones. Moreover, we are very proud that our subsidiaries, Lavie Bio and Canonic, recently began commercializing their products in target markets. The rapid advancement from concept to marketable product indicates the invaluable contribution Evogene's technological engines MicroBoost AI, ChemPass AI and GeneRator AI have on life-science product development.
"As the activities of our subsidiaries mature, we continue to develop our engines with the goal of further improving their offering and potential, as engines underpinning and empowering the development of life-science products. In the years to come we intend to expand the eco-system of each of our technological engines, with the goal of expanding into new areas and new product types. Over the year, we hope to discuss this in more detail.
"It is important for us to state that we believe that our strong cash position of approximately \$54 million is a demonstration of financial strength, which is particularly important in current times of instability in the financial markets. Still, to support our subsidiaries' growth and to strengthen their position as independent companies, we are currently evaluating different funding options for the group and are in different levels of discussions with potential strategic and financial investors," -Mr. Haviv concluded.
Immuno-oncology program – Biomica recently received clearance from the Israeli Ministry of Health to proceed to a first-in-human phase I study, which is set to be held at the Rambam Healthcare Campus in Israel, following the completion of a series of pre-clinical trials with BMC128 given in combination with Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors immunotherapy, indicating significant improvement in anti-tumor activity. Biomica is currently advancing towards the initiation of the study.

Milestone for 2022 –file for regulatory approval for leading product candidate LAV311 targeting fruit rot, as preparation for commercialization in 2024.
Cash position: Evogene maintains a strong financial position for its activities with \$53.9 million in consolidated cash, cash related accounts, bank deposits and marketable securities as of December 31, 2021, of which \$7.8 million is appropriated to its subsidiary, Lavie Bio.
During 2021, the consolidated cash usage was approximately \$25.8 million, or \$20.6 million, excluding Lavie Bio. These sums in 2021 are before giving effect to \$29.6 million net raised through Evogene's at-the-market, or ATM, programs and exclude \$1.8 million of proceeds from non-refundable grants and exercises of options. This is in comparison to 2020, during which the consolidated cash usage was \$19.3 million, or \$14.7 million, excluding Lavie Bio. The cash usage in 2020 was unusually low due to certain measures, regarding salary expenses, that the Company initiated to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic during that year.
During the fourth quarter of 2021, the consolidated cash usage was approximately \$8.4 million, or \$7.0 million, excluding Lavie Bio. This is in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2020, during which the consolidated cash usage was approximately \$6.1 million, or \$5.1 million, excluding Lavie Bio.
The cash burn rate during 2021 and in the fourth quarter was higher than during the same periods in 2020, due to the following reasons:
The Company's management estimates that the cash usage for the full year of 2022 will be within the range of \$26-\$28 million. These guidelines include the cash usage of Evogene's subsidiary Lavie Bio, which is estimated at approximately \$8 million.
R&D expenses for the fourth quarter of 2021, which are reported net of non-refundable grants received, were \$6.0 million, in comparison to \$4.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. For the full year 2021, these expenses were \$21.1 million, in comparison to \$17.3 million in 2020.
The increase in R&D expenses was mainly attributed to an increase in expenses due to an expansion in product development activities of the Company and its subsidiaries, as mentioned above.
BD expenses were approximately \$720 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2021, in comparison to \$670 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2020. Such expenses remained stable for the full year 2021 in comparison to 2020 and were approximately \$2.7 million.
G&A expenses for the fourth quarter of 2021 were \$2.0 million, in comparison to \$1.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. G&A expenses for the full year 2021 were \$7.3 million, in comparison to \$5.3 million in 2020. The increase was mainly attributed to the increase of the costs of directors' and officers' insurance policies, an increase in salary-based expenses and an increase in other professional services.
Operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2021 was \$8.7 million in comparison to \$7.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Operating loss for the full year 2021 was \$31.0 million in comparison to \$24.8 million in 2020. The operating loss increased due to an increase in overall operating expenses, as described above, as well as due to an increase in salary-based expenses in comparison to 2020, mainly for the following reasons:
The loss for the fourth quarter of 2021 was \$8.1 million in comparison to a loss of \$8.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2020. The loss for the full year 2021 was \$30.4 million in comparison to a loss of \$26.2 million for 2020. The increase in loss is attributed mainly to the increase in operating expenses, as described above, which was partially offset by net financing income for 2021 in comparison to net financing expenses for 2020.
