Conference call and webcast: today, August 22, 2024, 9:00 am ET
A significant milestone achieved in ICL collaboration, developing yield-increasing bio-stimulants for row crops under extreme weather conditions by leveraging AI to identify over a dozen novel microbial candidates.
Announced commercial expansion of Yalos™ bio-inoculant to winter wheat.
Rehovot, Israel – August 22, 2024 – Evogene Ltd. (Nasdaq: EVGN, TASE: EVGN), a leading computational biology company aiming to revolutionize the development of life-science-based products, today announced its financial results for the second quarter period ended June 30, 2024.
Mr. Ofer Haviv, Evogene's President and CEO, stated: "In our vision, we see Evogene as a pioneering company for creating groundbreaking life-science products, to improve life quality and longevity. During the past years we developed three innovative AI tech-engines addressing the main development challenges of products rooted in microbes, small molecules and genomics. Our AI tech-engines were structured to be compatible with the tremendous potential of various market segments and not limited to only one specific segment.
In order to capture the value of our AI tech-engines, our business strategy is to establish diverse collaborative partnerships through licensing or collaboration, with expert partners in specific fields that complement our technology. Together, we'll develop novel products, aiming for full or partial ownership upon project completion. This approach maximizes the potential of our AI tech-engines, while aiming to reduce financial and development risks. Today, Evogene has 4 subsidiaries, each focusing on a different market segment, and in addition, Evogene has diverse engagements with leading companies in additional market segments, not covered by our subsidiaries.
I am very pleased to share with you the main achievements made by Evogene's subsidiaries from the last report of our financial results."
Casterra Ag Ltd. – focuses on developing an integrated solution to enable large-scale commercial cultivation of castor to address the global demand for stable castor oil supply, mainly for the biodiesel industry. Casterra is utilizing Evogene's GeneRator AI tech engine to direct and accelerate the development of its unique elite castor seed varieties.
-Castor seeds produced in 2024 in both Brazilian and African territories are expected to enable Casterra to meet all its existing orders, amounting to approximately \$8.4M, with completion anticipated by the end of this year.
Lavie Bio Ltd.- a leading ag-biologicals company that develops microbiome-based, computational-driven novel bio-stimulant and bio-pesticide products, utilizing Evogene's MicroBoost AI tech-engine.
-Lavie Bio's pipeline is advancing according to plan, with field trials initiated in Q2 in most of the company's programs, following successful optimization processes. Results are expected during Q4.
Biomica Ltd. - a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative microbiome-based therapeutics, utilizing Evogene's MicroBoost AI tech-engine.
-We look forward to continuing to evaluate BMC128's beneficial activity in subsequent phases of clinical development.
Cash Position: As of June 30, 2024, Evogene held consolidated cash, cash equivalents, and short-term bank deposits of approximately \$20.9 million. This amount does not include \$8.4 million of expected payments for the open purchase orders of Casterra . The consolidated cash usage during the second quarter of 2024 was approximately \$5.7 million. Excluding Lavie Bio and Biomica, Evogene and its other subsidiaries used approximately \$2.7 million in cash during the second quarter of 2024. Projected cash usage for 2024, excluding Lavie Bio and Biomica, is expected to be around \$8.0 million, marking a notable 36% decrease from approximately \$12.5 million in 2023.
Revenue: Revenues for the first half of 2024 were approximately \$5.1 million, a significant increase from \$1.3 million in the same period the previous year. This growth was primarily driven by revenues recognized from Lavie Bio's licensing agreement with Corteva and AgPlenus's new collaboration with Bayer. Revenues for the second quarter of 2024 were approximately \$0.9 million, compared to approximately \$0.7 million in the same period the previous year. The increase was mainly attributable to increased revenue in Lavie Bio.
Evogene anticipates continued revenue growth in the second half of 2024 compared to the previous year, mainly based on Casterra's forecast for seed-order supply.
R&D Expenses: Research and development expenses, net of non-refundable grants, for the first half of 2024 were approximately \$8.8 million, a decrease from \$10.2 million in the first half of 2023. The decrease in expenses is mainly due to the cease of Canonic's activities and a decrease in certain development expenses in Biomica as compared to the same period the previous year. Research and development expenses, net of non-refundable grants, for the second quarter of 2024 were approximately \$4.0 million, and decreased significantly as compared to approximately \$5.4 million in the same period in the previous year. The decrease is mainly attributable to decreased expenses in Canonic and Biomica, as mentioned above.
Sales and Marketing Expenses: Sales and Marketing expenses for the first half of 2024 were approximately \$1.9 million, a slight increase from approximately \$1.7 million in the same period in the previous year. The increase is mainly attributable to increased sales and marketing activities in Casterra during the first half of 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023. Sales and Marketing expenses for the second quarter of 2024 were approximately \$0.9 million and remained stable as compared to approximately \$0.9 million in the same period in the previous year.
General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses for the first half of 2024 decreased slightly to approximately \$3.2 million from approximately \$3.3 million in the same period last year. General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2024 decreased to approximately \$1.5 million compared to approximately \$1.8 million in the same period of the previous year, mainly due to decreased non-cash compensation and salary related expenses in Lavie Bio and Biomica, respectively, in the second quarter of 2024.
Other Expenses: The decision to cease Canonic's operations in the first half of 2024 resulted in other expenses of approximately \$0.5 million, mainly due to impairment of fixed assets in the first quarter of 2024.
Operating Loss: The operating loss for the first half of 2024 was approximately \$10.2 million, a significant decrease from approximately \$14.7 million in the same period of the previous year, mainly due to increased revenues as mentioned above. The operating loss for the second quarter of 2024 was approximately \$6.1 million, a decrease from \$7.9 million in the same period of the previous year, mainly due to decreased operating expenses as mentioned above.
Financing Income: Financing income, net for the first half of 2024 was \$379 thousand, compared to financing expenses, net of \$86 thousand in the same period of the previous year. This increase was primarily due to increased interest income and a revaluation of convertible SAFE. Financing income, net for the second quarter of 2024 was \$138 thousand, compared to financing income, net of \$144 thousand in the same period of the previous year.
Net Loss: The net loss for the first half of 2024 was approximately \$9.8 million, compared to approximately \$14.8 million in the same period last year. The \$5.0 million decrease in net loss was primarily due to increased revenues, decreased operating expenses, partially offset by the one-time \$0.5 million of other expenses, related to ceasing Canonic's operations and an increase in financial income. The net loss for the second quarter of 2024 was approximately \$6.0 million, compared to approximately \$7.8 million in the same period last year. The \$1.8 million decrease in net loss was primarily due to decreased operating expenses as mentioned above.
