Business Highlights

  • ThromboGenics is making good progress in advancing its portfolio of innovative medicines for the treatment of diabetic eye disease: its pipeline consists of 4 compounds targeting novel treatments for diabetic retinopathy (DR) - non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) - in the presence or absence of diabetic macular edema (DME)
  • ThromboGenics is conducting a Phase II clinical study evaluating THR-317 (anti-PLGF) for Diabetic Macular Edema (DME). The trial was initiated in January 2017 and assesses THR-317's ability to improve best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and to reduce central retinal thickness in subjects with DME. Study results are expected during Q1 2018.
  • ThromboGenics is conducting a Phase IIa clinical study (CIRCLE) evaluating THR-409 (ocriplasmin) to induce complete posterior vitreous detachment (total PVD) and to prevent progression to PDR (a serious sight threatening condition) in patients with NPDR.
  • ThromboGenics is making good progress with its late-stage preclinical pipeline:
  • o THR-687 is being developed to treat a broad range of patients with diabetic retinopathy, with or without DME. THR-687 is expected to enter the clinic in H1 2018
  • o THR-149 is being developed to treat edema associated with diabetic retinopathy. THR-149 is expected to enter the clinic in H1 2018.
  • ThromboGenics and BioInvent amended their long-standing agreement, which covers codevelopment of the novel anti-PLGF monoclonal antibody products (known as THR-317 and TB-403). Under the revised agreement, ThromboGenics will gain full and exclusive ownership of THR-317 for development and commercialization in all non-oncology indications. BioInvent will have a 5% share in the economic value of THR-317. The agreement will also see BioInvent increase its economic stake in the TB-403 project from 40% to 50%. The costs of this project will continue to be shared equally.
  • The European Commission granted orphan drug designation to TB-403 in January 2017. TB-403 is being developed for medulloblastoma, the most common pediatric malignant brain tumor.
  • In August 2017, Oncurious announces agreement with VIB for expanding its pipeline with 5 unique next generation immuno-oncology (IO) assets for treatment of a broad spectrum of cancers.

  • In H1 2017, ThromboGenics reported overall revenues of €2.7 million from JETREA®, including €0.8 million in royalty income from its partner Alcon (Novartis).

  • Cash and investments were €65.1 million as of the end of June 2017. This compares to €80.1 million as of December 31, 2016.

Statutory auditor's report to the Board of Directors of ThromboGenics NV on the review of consolidated interim financial information for the six-month period ended 30 June 2017

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying interim consolidated statement of financial position of ThromboGenics NV as of 30 June 2017 and the related interim consolidated statements of comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity for the six-month period then ended, as well as the explanatory notes. The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this consolidated interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this consolidated interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", as adopted by the European Union.

Zaventem, 7 September 2017

8. Summary of significant accounting policies

This condensed consolidated interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, (Interim Financial Reporting) as adopted by the European Union.

The condensed consolidated interim financial information does not include all the necessary information for preparing financial statements for a full accounting year and therefore should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the group for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Preparing condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS obliges the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and the notes on the latent assets and liabilities on the date of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and costs during the reporting period. If in the future such estimates and assumptions, which are based on management's best estimates and judgment at the time of drawing up the financial statements, deviate from the actual circumstances, the original estimates and assumptions will be modified and the effects of the revisions will be reflected in the period in which the circumstances change. The principal risks during the interim period have not materially changed from those mentioned in the financial report as of December 31, 2016.

All statements and information relate to the interim period unless otherwise stated.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in euro and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated.
