INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT

THIRD QUARTER 2022

1. BUSINESS UPDATE

A. CLINICAL UPDATE

DREAM US: IDE PIVOTAL STUDY

Nyxoah initiated its pivotal DREAM IDE trial in the United States in December 2020 to support an application seeking FDA marketing authorization and, ultimately, reimbursement in the U.S. for bilateral hypoglossal nerve stimulation for the treatment of moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea ("OSA"). The DREAM trial is a multicenter, prospective, open-label trial in which patients who undergo implantation of the Genio® system will be followed for five years post-implantation to assess the safety and efficacy of the Genio® system in patients with moderate-to-severe OSA.

The trial was initially expected to enroll 134 patients who will undergo the implantation procedure with 12-month effectiveness and safety primary endpoints across 18 centers in the United States and six international sites. In April 2022, the FDA approved the Company's request to reduce the trial's sample size to 115 patients from 134 after reviewing data from the BETTER SLEEP trial (see below).

The primary safety endpoint is incidence of device-related severe adverse events ("SAEs") at 12-months post implantation. One of the co-primary effectiveness endpoints is the percentage of responders with at least a 50% reduction on the apneahypopnea index ("AHI") with hypopneas associated with a 4% oxyhemoglobin desaturation and a remaining AHI with hypopneas associated with a 4% oxyhemoglobin desaturation less than 20, together with a 25% reduction on the oxygen desaturation index ("ODI") between baseline and 12-month visits. Patients with moderate to severe OSA (AHI score between 15 and 65) and aged between 22 and 75 years are eligible for enrolment if they failed, did not tolerate or refused positive airway pressure ("PAP") treatment. Patients with a body mass index above 32 kg/m2, a complete concentric collapse ("CCC") observed during a drug induced sleep endoscopy and combined central and mixed AHI above 25% at baseline polysomnography are to be excluded.

Enrollment in the DREAM trial is now complete, and 110 patients had undergone a Genio® implantation procedure. The remaining implants are being scheduled, and the Company anticipates having 12-month clinical data in the fall of 2023. No SAEs have been reported to date.

BETTER SLEEP: ACHIEVED PRIMARY ENDPOINT IN BOTH CCC AND NON-CCC PATIENT COHORTS

In March 2022, the Company attended the World Sleep Congress in Rome, Italy, and presented data generated from its BETTER SLEEP trial, a multicenter, prospective, open-label, two-group clinical trial, designed to assess the long-term safety and performance of the Genio® system for the treatment of adult OSA patients with and without CCC of the soft palate over a period of 36 months post-implantation. The BETTER SLEEP trial included a subgroup of CCC patients, which is a patient population that is contraindicated for unilateral hypoglossal nerve stimulation.

In the BETTER SLEEP trial, 42 patients were implanted with the Genio® system, 18 of whom presented with CCC (or 42.9% of the total implanted population) at eight research centers in Australia. The primary safety endpoint was the incidence of device-related SAEs six months post-implantation. The primary performance endpoint was achieving at least a 4-point reduction in the apnea-hypopnea index (4% oxygen desaturation, or AHI4) from baseline at six months for the entire patient cohort. Patients with moderate to severe AHI scores (15 < AHI < 65) and aged between 21 and 75 years were eligible for enrollment if they failed, refused or did not tolerate PAP treatment. Patients with a body mass index above 32 kg/m2 were excluded.

Three patients in the non-CCC arm and three patients in the CCC arm did not complete their six-month polysomnography, and as a result, the analysis was calculated based on 36 patients (21 non-CCC and 15 CCC). Of these 36 patients, there were 23 responders (64%), including nine of the 15 CCC patients (60%) and 14 of the 21 non-CCC patients (67%), at six months. The overall reduction was statistically significant with an 11-point reduction (p<0.001), with statistically significant reductions of 10 points (p=0.001) in the CCC cohort and 11 points (p<0.001) in the non-CCC cohort. In addition, mean AHI4 reduction exceeded 70% among responders in both CCC and non-CCC cohorts. These results are subject to final review and validation.

With respect to the primary safety endpoint, preliminary unadjudicated safety data showed four SAEs in three patients during the six-month post-implantation period. Of those, two SAEs in one patient were reported as device related, one SAE in one patient was reported as procedure and device related, and one SAE in one patient was reported as unrelated to procedure or device. Final review and adjudication of SAEs and adverse events ("AEs") have not yet been completed by an independent clinical events committee and as a result the characterization of SAEs or AEs could be subject to change.

While additional data, including responder rates, remains subject to ongoing review and continues to be analyzed, the Company observed in the per protocol group a 70% responder rate in the non-CCC patient subgroup based on the Sher criteria. The per protocol group consisted of 35 patients and excluded five patients from the mITT analysis population: two of these patients were lost to follow-up, one patient did not comply with the study protocol, and two patients were removed from the study by the investigator, one for hostility towards staff and one having returned to continuous positive airway pressure, therapy.

The Company expects to announce additional data with respect to the trial as further analyses are conducted and seeks to publish the full data set from the trial in a peer-reviewed publication. There will be no additional enrollment in the BETTER SLEEP trial. However, the Company will continue to monitor patients in the evaluable patient population and plan to continue evaluating over the course of three years following implantation.

The data generated from this study were used to expand the Company's CE mark for the Genio® system to treat patients demonstrating CCC at the soft palate level, and the first commercial Genio® implants occurred in CCC patients in Germany during the first quarter of 2022.

ACCCESS U.S. IDE STUDY SEEKING APPROVAL TO TREAT CCC PATIENTS

In the United States, supported by the BETTER SLEEP study data, the FDA in September 2021 granted Breakthrough Device Designation for the Genio® system in order to shorten the approval path to treat CCC patients. Following a series of sprint discussions with the FDA regarding the design of a trial called ACCCESS to assess the safety and efficacy of the Genio® system on CCC patients, the FDA approved the Company's IDE application in July 2022.

In this study, Nyxoah will implant up to 106 patients across up to 40 implant sites with co-primary efficacy endpoints of AHI responder rate, per the Sher criteria, and ODI responder rate, both assessed at 12 months post-implant. The initial clinical sites are being activated, and the first patients are expected to be implanted during the fourth quarter of 2022.

B. EUROPEAN COMMERCIALIZATION

During the first nine months of 2022, Nyxoah recognized total revenue of €1.8 million, primarily in Germany, representing a substantial increase over the first nine months of 2021. After securing DRG reimbursement in Germany during the first quarter of 2021, Nyxoah built and expanded its German commercial organization to a total of 15 full time employees.

Nyxoah's commercial strategy is focused on creating a Center of Excellence ecosystem, with a high level of clinical expertise between implanting ENT surgeons and sleep physicians who are able to provide more treatment options to their large patient pools. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has activated 32 Tier 1 sites across Germany, up from 12 as of December 31, 2021.

The company has also focused on entering new European markets. The Company has secured DRG reimbursement in Switzerland, hospital reimbursement in Spain, and is awaiting reimbursement decisions in several other countries, including Belgium, Italy, and the Netherlands. In the first nine months of 2022, Nyxoah also generated revenue in Finland, Switzerland, and the Netherlands, and the Company expects sales in other European countries in 2022.

2. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Revenue was €1.8 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2022, compared to €557,000 for the nine months ending September 30, 2021. The increase in revenue was attributable to the Company's commercialization of the Genio® system mainly in Germany.

Cost of goods sold was €0.7 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2022, compared to €198,000 cost for the nine months ending September 30, 2021. The increase in cost of goods sold was attributable to the sales of the Genio® system in Europe.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 25 %from €10.8 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2021 to €13.5 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2022, mainly due to an increase in consulting and contractors' fees to support the company in legal, finance, tax and IT matters as well as insurances following the listing of the company in the United States.

Consulting and contractors' fees include variable compensations for an amount of €1.9 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2021 related to a cash settled share-based payment transaction.

Before capitalization of €11.9 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2022 and €7.7 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2021, research and development expenses increased 39 % from €16.7 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2021 to €23.2 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2022, due to the combined effect of higher clinical, R&D activities and manufacturing expenses. This increase is mainly in staff and consulting costs to support those activities. This was offset by a decrease in patent fees and related expenses due to the payment for in-licensing agreement with Vanderbilt University during the first nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Nyxoah realised a net positive financial result of €5.9 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2022 primarily driven by the exchange rate appreciation of dollar versus euro. This compares to a net loss of €1.4 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2021.

Nyxoah realized a net loss of €17.9 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2022, compared to a net loss of €21.3 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2021.

Cash and cash equivalents

On September 30, 2022, cash and cash equivalents and financial assets totalled €115.4 million, compared to €135.5 million on December 31, 2021. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents resulted mainly from net cash flows used in operating activities of €18.5 million and net cash used in investing activities of €31.5 million. See note 13.

3. 2022 OUTLOOK

The Company expects to continue ramping up sales in Germany as well as in other European countries where we are already present.

In the US, the Company expects to complete implants in the DREAM IDE trial and to have the first patients implanted in the ACCCESS IDE study for CCC patients in US.

Nyxoah looks forward to opening its manufacturing facility in Belgium to further scale-up production capacity.

Following the capital increase related to the Nasdaq IPO and based on the current objectives of the Company's business plan, Nyxoah expects that its existing cash and cash equivalents will fund planned operating and capital expense requirements in line with the Company's strategic priorities (European commercialization, US market entry, clinical data building, driving innovation/pipeline and scaling-up the organisation).

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. General information

Nyxoah SA (the "Company") is a public listed company with limited liability (naamloze vennootschap/société anonyme) incorporated and operating under the laws of Belgium and is domiciled in Belgium. The Company is registered with the legal entities register (Brabant Walloon) under enterprise number 0817.149.675. The Company's registered office is in Rue Edouard Belin 12, 1435 Mont-Saint-Guibert, Belgium.

The Company is a medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative solutions to treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea, or OSA. Our lead solution is the Genio® system, a CE-Marked, patient-centric, minimally invasive, next generation hypoglossal neurostimulations therapy for OSA. OSA is the world's most common sleep disordered breathing condition and is associated with increased mortality risk and comorbidities including cardiovascular diseases, depression and stroke.

The Genio® system is the first neurostimulation system for the treatment of OSA to include a battery-free and leadless neurostimulator capable of delivering bilateral hypoglossal nerve stimulation to keep the upper airway open. The product is intended to be used as a second-line therapy to treat moderate to severe OSA patients who have either not tolerated, failed or refused conventional therapy, including Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, or CPAP, which, despite its proven efficacy, is associated with many limitations, meaning compliance is a serious challenge. In addition, other second-line treatments are more suitable to treat mild to moderate OSA (such as oral devices) or highly invasive. Compared to other hypoglossal nerve stimulation technologies for the treatment of OSA, the Genio® system is a disruptive, differentiating technology that targets a clear unmet medical need thanks to its minimally invasive and quick implantation technique, its external battery and its ability to stimulate the two branches of the hypoglossal nerve.

Obstructive sleep apnea is the world's most common sleep disordered breathing condition. OSA occurs when the throat and tongue muscles and soft tissues relax and collapse. It makes a person stop breathing during sleep, while the airway repeatedly becomes partially (hypopnea) or completely (apnea) blocked, limiting the amount of air that reaches the lungs. During an episode of apnea or hypopnea, the patient's oxygen level drops, which leads to sleep interruptions.

Nyxoah SA has established three wholly owned subsidiaries: Nyxoah Ltd, a subsidiary of the Company since October 21, 2009 (located in Israel and incorporated on January 10, 2008 under the name M.L.G. Madaf G. Ltd), Nyxoah Pty Ltd since February 1, 2017 (located in Australia) and Nyxoah Inc. since May 14, 2020 (located in the USA).

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Nyxoah SA and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Group) as of September 30, 2022 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 have been authorized for issue on November 8, 2022 by the Board of Directors of the Company.

The Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 – Interim Financial Reporting ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and as endorsed by the European Union. They do not include all the information required for complete annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Except for the application of standards, interpretations and amendments being mandatory as of January 1, 2022, and the new accounting policies mentioned in the relevant notes the accounting policies used for the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used for the preparation of the Company's annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of Euros (€) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousands, except when otherwise indicated (e.g. € million).

Certain reclasses to comparatives have been made to be consistent with current year presentation.

The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, are areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements. The critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company's annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021.

An entity shall determine the net defined benefit liability (asset) with sufficient regularity that the amounts recognized in the financial statements do not differ materially from the amounts that would be determined at the end of the reporting period. The current pension obligation results from defined benefit liability does not materially differ on a nine months basis therefore the Company has determined to recognize the net defined benefit liability on annual basis being at the end of the reporting period.

Going concern principle

The Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. As at September 30, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of €89.9 million. Based on cash flow forecasts for the remaining period of 2022 and 2023, which include significant expenses and cash outflows in relation to – among others – the ongoing clinical trials, the continuation of research and development project, and the scaling up of the Company's manufacturing facilities. The Company believes that this cash position will be sufficient to meet the Company's capital requirements and fund its operations for at least 12 months as from the date these financials are authorized for issuance.

The Company does not believe that COVID-19 or the Ukraine conflict will have an impact on the Company's activity. The company does not have business relationships with Russia. There is no direct nor indirect impact of the conflict on the day to day business of the Company.

New and amended standards and interpretations applicable

Effective for the annual periods beginning on January 1, 2022

The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

Several amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2022, but do not have an impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company:

  • Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations; IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment; IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets as well as Annual Improvements, effective January 1, 2022

3. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The preparation of interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that may significantly affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the end of the reporting period.

Refer to the disclosure note 5 from the Group's 2021 year-end consolidated financial statements for further details about the main critical accounting estimates and assumptions.

4. Segment reporting

Based on the organizational structure, as well as the nature of financial information available and reviewed by the Company's chief operating decision makers to assess performance and make decisions about resource allocations, the Company has concluded that its total operations represent one reportable segment. The chief operating decision maker is the CEO.

5. Fair Value

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other receivables, other current assets and financial assets approximate their value due to their short-term character.

The carrying value of current liabilities approximates their fair value due to the short-term character of these instruments. The fair value of non-current liabilities (financial debt and other non-current liabilities), excluding the derivative financial liabilities, is evaluated based on their interest rates and maturity date. These instruments have fixed interest rates and their fair value measurements are subject to changes in interest rates. The fair value measurement is classified as level 3.

The derivative financial liabilities and assets which consist of foreign currency options and foreign currency forwards are measured at fair value through profit and loss. Fair value is determined by the financial institution and is based on foreign currency forwards rates and the maturity of the instrument.

Deferred tax income/(expense) 879 2 200 8
Total Income Tax Income/(Expense) (65) (136) (379) (260)

As of January 1, 2022, new tax regulations are in place in the US. In order to fully comply with internal revenue requirements, R&D expenses can no longer be deducted when incurred but instead they will be capitalized only for tax purposes and they will be amortized over a 5 year period. Due to this new regulation, there is an increase in current tax expense and current tax liability by €2.4 million and €2.5 million respectively, and also an increase in deferred tax asset and deferred tax income of €2.4 million and €2.2 million respectively. The deferred tax asset is recognized because the Company expects the US subsidiary will be able to recover the deferred tax asset in the foreseeable future.

The current tax liability of €5.4 million also relates to a liability for uncertain tax positions for an amount of €2.8 million. This current tax liability was recorded following certain public rulings and guidance recently issued by tax authorities in one of the jurisdictions that the Company operates in. The current tax expense related to this current tax liability for the nine months period ended September 30, 2022 amounts to €77,000.

Total other payables 7 892 3 633

The increase of €4.3 million in other payables as at September 30, 2022, compared to December 31, 2021, is mainly due to an increase of €2.5 million in the fair value of the foreign currency option and due to an increase of €1.5 million in accrued expenses related to an increase in clinical and R&D activities. The item Other includes €397,000 social liabilities.

Revenue and cost of goods sold

In the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company generated revenue for the amount of €1.8 million (2021: €0.6 million). In the three months ended September 30, 2022, the company generated revenue for the amount of €182,000 (2021: €203,000).

In the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company had experienced a delay in sales due to product availability from component supplier due to over malfunctioning. Those malfunctioning were remediated, and the Company will have sufficient manufacturing capacity to meet all commercial demands.

Revenue is recognized at a point in time upon satisfaction of the performance obligation, being the moment control over the Genio® system is transferred to the customer, which is in general at delivery at customer site or a predefined location in the country of the customer. For certain customers, control may be transferred upon shipment to the customer in case the incoterms are Ex-Works. The revenue from the Genio® system consists of a kit of products delivered at the same point in time, and as such revenue does not need to be allocated over the different products. The revenue is then recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange of the Genio® system. In determining the transaction price for the sale of the Genio® system, the Company considers the effects of variable consideration.

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 the sales (based on country of customer) were generated in Germany (€1.6 million), Switzerland (€167,000) and Finland (€40,000) (2021: Germany: €0.5 million, Spain: €20,000 and Belgium: €40,000). For the nine month period ended September 30, 2022, the Company has two customers with individual sales larger than 10% of the total revenue (2021: three customers).

Before capitalization of €11.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and €7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, research and development expenses increased by €6.5 million or 39 %, from €16.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, to €23.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, due to the combined effect of higher clinical, R&D activities and manufacturing expenses.
