SoftOx Group Financial Report Q4 2024
SoftOx Solutions AS (ticker: SOFTX) is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company listed on Euronext Growth Oslo. The company has developed a highly effective panantimicrobial technology targeting bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The patent-protected technology is based on extensive research and development in partnership with leading Nordic research institutes.
The SoftOx Solutions Group includes the holding company SoftOx Solutions AS, Water Innovation AB, and subsidiaries SoftOx Defense Solutions AS and SoftOx Wound & Skin Care AS (distributed as dividend 06.02.25). SoftOx is based in Oslo, Norway with subsidiaries in Malmö, Sweden, and Clinical Operations in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Highlights for the Q4 2024
The financial restructuring described in the Third Quarter Report 2024 has continued.
Reference is made to the stock notice of 6 th December 2024, 20th December 2024, and 6th of February 2025 regarding the spin-out of the SoftOx Wound and Skin Care. As a part of a previously communicated plan to restructure the group, the Company has distributed the ownership of assets associated with the SoftOx Wound & Skin Care business to the subsidiary Softox Wound & Skin Care AS. The goal of the restructuring is to concentrate the Company's efforts into segmented business areas. The distribution will enable SoftOx Solution AS and SoftOx Wound & Skin Care AS to further develop and finance their operations.
The shares were distributed to all shareholders, who held shares in Softox Solutions AS at the close of business at 6:30 CEST on 23rd December 2024. The shares were distributed on a 1:1 basis, i.e. one share in the Company held on said date entitled the holder to receive one share in SoftOx Wound & Skin Care AS. Distribution of the shares was effectuated on February 6, 2025. Further information regarding the Wound & Skin Care AS will be made available at the SoftOx Wound & Skin Care AS website www.sow.no.
Perspectives from the Chairman
Since the extraordinary general assembly in September 2024, the new board and leadership team have been actively engaged in restructuring and refocusing efforts initiated by the previous board. This process has been supported by SoftOx's shareholders, both through their financial contribution in August 2024 and their confidence in the new leadership.
Following this transition, operations have been strategically narrowed to focus on inhalation-therapeutics opportunities, particularly the VAP (Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia) indication, which represents a significant unmet global clinical need. Previousresults indicate that SoftOx's potential products could provide substantial value in this area.
As part of this strategic realignment, the application of SoftOx's technology in the wound and skin sector was transferred into a separate company. The shares of this new entity were distributed as an extraordinary dividend to SoftOx's shareholders in early February 2025, and from that point, the two companies have operated independently.
Meanwhile, SoftOx Solutions AS has continued its work on medical countermeasures against biological warfare agents through its subsidiary, SoftOx Defense Solutions AS. This initiative has progressed successfully under a collaborative agreement with the European Defence Fund (EDF) and the Norwegian Ministry of Defence (NMOD) and remains on track to deliver the Clinical Trial Application (CTA) for the Phase 1 clinical trial.
In parallel, significant efforts have been dedicated to cost reduction and resolving past commitments, including a legal dispute originating from activities in 2022. With many of these challenges now addressed, the primary focus is on planning and initiating the VAP 'Proof of Concept' Phase 2 clinical trial. Securing the necessary capital to fund the trial—estimated at approximately EUR 8 million over three years—remains a key priority.
To strengthen the Company's position ahead of upcoming investor discussions and ensure progress remains on schedule, the board has approved a private placement of shares to a select group of dedicated investors. This group includes both existing shareholders and international entities newly engaged with SoftOx Solutions. In evaluating financing alternatives, various options were considered to optimize the Company's financial position.
Reference is made to the stock notice of March 25, 2025, where the Board resolved to conduct the Private Placement and debt conversion, approving the issuance of 289 163 052 new shares at a subscription price of NOK 0,035 per share (the "Share Issue"). The subscription price reflects a 9,1% premium over the 7-day VWAP before March 21, 2025, aligning with market conditions. The Share Issue was executed under the authorization granted by the extraordinary general meeting on July 31, 2024.
The Share Issue will generate approximately NOK 9 054 500 in gross proceeds before transaction costs, providing the Company with a financial runway for the next 12 months and ensuring continued progress toward the Phase 2 Clinical Trial Application (CTA). In parallel, further investor dialogues are ongoing to secure the approximately EUR 8 million required to fully fund the VAP study, reinforcing the Company's commitment to advancing this critical clinical program.

Strategy and Business Segments
Strategy and Business Segments
SoftOx Solutions is dedicated to developing a completely new class of antimicrobials, effective against bacterial infections, viruses, and fungi, which can be deployed into clinical practice without inducing new antimicrobial resistance. This new type of antimicrobial is developed to work locally and non-systemically on tissue and biofilm and is intended for prevention as well as treatment of infections, in the respiratory tract. It has shown to be non-toxic and safe in humans, and a later-stage proof-of-concept (POC) clinical trial is now being initiated in the first key indication.
The Company has developed a patented antimicrobial technology platform over the last decade with several antimicrobial projects in the pipeline. Upon refocusing at the end of 2024, the Company's forthcoming business will be to develop therapeutics, aimed to prevent and treat complex microbial infections and illnesses in the respiratory tract, including multi-resistant infections and biological warfare threats.
SoftOx is committed to developing new ways of eradicating infections and fighting antimicrobial resistance. The focus will remain to advance projects from the concept stage, through clinical development, with the aim, leveraged by compelling pre-clinical and clinical data, to seek strong partnerships for later-stage development and global commercialization, as is customary for small innovative companies in the human therapeutics industry.

SoftOx Inhalation Solution (SIS)
Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) Indication
STRATEGY
The SoftOx Inhalation Solution (SIS) has been tested to be safe in healthy volunteers (Phase 1). Preparation for a proof-of-concept trial (Phase 2) in Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) patients is ongoing.
HIGHLIGHTS RESEARCH & PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
- After careful analysis and consideration, it is decided to focus the current development efforts on a proof of concept (Phase 2) trial in Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) patients. VAP is a common and lethal threat to hospitalized patients on ventilators. The company already has positive indications of efficacy against VAP.
-
The University of Copenhagen on behalf of SoftOx has established proof-of-concept in mouse models for the use of SIS for both treatment and preventive use against viral infections in the respiratory tract. Animal studies of respiratory infections were concluded to be safe and efficacious.
-
The SoftOx Research Department led by Professor Thomas Bjarnsholt has shown broad antimicrobial efficacy of SIS in vitro. Also, in animal models reproducible dose-dependent virucidal and bacterial effects of inhaled SIS have been shown in mouse pneumonia models of Influenza A, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa respectively. In addition, the team has shown that the administration of SIS can prevent the spread of Sendai/Parainfluenza virus among co-housed mice. This makes SIS a very promising candidate to prevent and treat airway infections. The team continues to investigate the effects of SIS in animal models.
OUTLOOK
- A CTA will be submitted in Q3 2025.
- The study will be executed together with "The Intensive Care Platform Trial" (INCEPT) (https://incept.dk/) in Copenhagen, with whom an LOI has been signed.
- The preparatory activities are on track, and, pending funding, the first patient is expected to be enrolled in the Phase 2 trial, by Q1 2026.
Medical Countermeasure Indication
STRATEGY
SoftOx Defense Solutions (SDS) develops countermeasures against biological threats through the contract with the European Defence Fund (EDF) together with the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI) and other European partners. The project started in December 2022 and runs until November 2026. The activity in SDS is financed by the contract with the European Defence Fund and the Norwegian Ministry of Defence and has not been affected by the previous financial challenges in SoftOx Solutions AS.
HIGHLIGHTS RESEARCH & PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
- SoftOx and its partners were granted approximately NOK 97 million from the European Council in 2022 to develop an antimicrobial inhalation solution, as a medical countermeasure, for the armed forces within the EU and its allies.
- The in vivo testing of the efficacy of SIS in several animal infection/lung models is being tested by several partners. This work was initiated in the autumn of 2024, and results are expected during 2025. Preliminary results show good efficacy in a murine P. aeruginosa pneumonia model.
- A device for the upcoming phase 1 trial has been selected.
- A second-generation SIS has been developed under the EDF project.
- The testing of the second-generation SIS has shown great efficacy against a variety of relevant respiratory pathogens including severe pathogens/biological weapons like Bacillus anthracis.
- For the Phase 1 trial, a new Drug Substance has been developed through a CMO, and a verification batch has successfully been produced.
- Further, a CMO for the Drug Product production has been contracted.
- Planning of the clinical Phase 1 trial is ongoing with the clinical team in Galway, Ireland. To support the trial management, a Director of Clinical Operations has been employed.
OUTLOOK
- The work on developing Medical Countermeasures against biological warfare agents is progressing according to the project plans.
- A CTA will be submitted in Q3 2025.
- In the clinical Phase 1 trial the concentrations of SIS will be increased to achieve a larger therapeutic window.
- The Phase 1 study will be started in Q1 2026.

Financial matters
Financial figures for the SoftOx Solutions Group are not audited (figures in brackets are comparable figures for 2023).
Profit and loss statement
During the four quarters of 2024, the company recognized NOK 7,9 million (NOK 7 million) as income in connection with funding from the European Defence Fund and Norwegian Research Fund.
In the four quarters of 2024, salary costs were NOK 5 million (NOK 7,8 million). NOK 2,8 million is related to the EDF/Counteract project.
Other operating costs of 2024 are NOK 30 million (*) (NOK 24,3 million).
- NOK 11,2 million in lawyers and consultancy fee restructuring
- NOK 4 million project costs EDF/Counteract
- NOK 6,4 million costs set aside for un-invoiced and precautionary reasons
- NOK 8,4 million operating costs corresponding to monthly costs NOK 0,7 million.

Net Financial items for the four quarters of 2024 are NOK 18 million (NOK 9,4 million).
Pre-tax results ended with a loss of NOK 50 million (loss of NOK 42 million) for 2024. Results are impacted by the execution of the restructuring efforts.
Cash flow and consolidated balance sheet
Of the capitalized assets, the company has activated its IP and patent cost worth NOK 26 million (NOK 11,3 million). Most of the jump in capitalized IP value in Q4/2024, is a consequence of materialization of value from the spinout of the Skin & Wound care activities. The IP/Patent costs are depreciated over 5 years. Deferred tax assets will not be addressed here, as the tax calculations will be performed for the end-of-theyear reporting, based on audited figures.
The Company's cash position has been strengthened following the successful completion of the Private Placement, as announced in the stock notice on March 25, 2025. The proceeds provide liquidity to support ongoing operations and strategic initiatives, including preparations for the VAP Phase 2 clinical trial and the EDF/Counteract project. In parallel, further investor dialogues are being pursued to secure the approximately EUR 8 million needed to fully fund the VAP study. Additionally, efforts to optimize cost structures and streamline operations have improved financial resilience, ensuring efficient capital allocation in alignment with the Company's long-term objectives.
Legal Matters
Reference is made to the stock notice 27 February 2025 where the Company has settled the legal dispute between the Company and a former consultant claiming to have a bonus claim for services rendered in 2022. The Company has settled MNOK 1,5 ex VAT for immediate payment and MNOK 0,8 ex VAT for payment within 30.06.2026.
The Company also has settled an issue related to immaterial rights related to the further development of certain aspects of SoftOx's technology, by issuing 16,5 million shares in the company to its counterpart.
Furthermore, as part of the reorganization of the Company and as informed by the Company by stock notice on the 12th of August 2024, the employment contracts with the former ECOB and former CEO were terminated amicably against the issue of approximately 68 million shares in the Company.
Other than a dispute with a former employee that has been settled, and the two cases mentioned above, the Company is not, nor has it been, during the preceding 12 months involved in any legal, governmental, or arbitration proceedings which may have, or have had in the recent past, significant effects on the Company's and/or the Group's financial position or profitability, and the Company is not aware of any such proceedings which are pending or threatened.

General Accounting Principles
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and generally accepted accounting principles in small companies in Norway.
Basis for consolidation
The Group's consolidated financial statements comprise SoftOx Solutions AS and companies in which SoftOx Solutions AS has a controlling interest. A controlling interest is normally obtained when the Group owns more than 50% of the shares in the company and can exercise control over the company. Minority interests are included in the Group's equity. Transactions between group companies have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statement. The consolidated financial statement has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting principles for both parent and subsidiary.
The purchase method is applied when accounting for business combinations. Companies that have been bought or sold during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date when control is achieved and until the date when control ceases.
An associate is an entity in which the Group has a significant influence but does not exercise control the management of its finances and operations (normally when the Group owns 20-50% of the company). The consolidated financial statements include the Group's share of the profits/losses from associates, accounted for using the equity method, from the date when a significant influence is achieved and until the date when such influence ceases.
When the Group's share of a loss exceeds the Group's investment in an associate, the amount carried in the Group's balance sheet is reduced to zero and further losses are not recognized unless the Group has an obligation to cover any such loss.
Use of estimates
The management has used estimates and assumptions that have affected assets, liabilities, incomes, expenses and information on potential liabilities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Norway.
Foreign currency translation
Transactions in foreign currency are translated at the rate applicable on the transaction date. Monetary items in a foreign currency are translated into NOK using the exchange rate applicable on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured at their historical price expressed in a foreign currency are translated into NOK using the exchange rate applicable on the transaction date. Non-monetary items that are measured at their fair value expressed in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate applicable on the balance sheet date. Changes to exchange rates are recognized in the income statement as they occur during the accounting period.
Revenue recognition
Revenues from the sale of goods are recognized in the income statement once delivery has taken place and most of the risk and return has been transferred. Revenues from the sale of services are recognized in the income statement according to the project's level of completion provided the outcome of the transaction can be estimated reliably. Progress is measured as the number of hours spent compared to the total number of hours estimated. When the outcome of the transaction cannot be estimated reliably, only revenues equal to the project costs that have been incurred will be recognized as revenue. The total estimated loss on a contract will be recognized in the income statement during the period when it is identified that a project will generate a loss.
Income tax
The tax expense consists of the tax payable and changes to deferred tax. Deferred tax/tax assets are calculated on all differences between the book value and tax value of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax is calculated as the tax rate of temporary differences and the tax effect of tax losses carried forward. Deferred tax assets are recorded in the balance sheet when it is more likely than not that the tax assets will
be utilized. Taxes payable and deferred taxes are yearly recognized directly in equity to the extent that they relate to equity transactions.
Balance sheet classification
Current assets and short-term liabilities consist of receivables and payables due within one year, and items related to the inventory cycle. Other balance sheet items are classified as fixed assets / long term liabilities. Current assets are valued at the lower of cost and fair value. Short-term liabilities are recognized at nominal value. Fixed assets are valued at cost, less depreciation and impairment losses. Long-term liabilities are recognized at nominal value.
Research and development
Development costs are capitalized providing that a future economic benefit associated with development of the intangible asset can be established and costs can be measured reliably. Otherwise, the costs are expensed as incurred. Capitalized development costs are amortized linearly over their useful life. Research costs are expensed as incurred.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are capitalized and depreciated linearly over the estimated useful life. Significant fixed assets which consist of substantial components with dissimilar economic life have been unbundled; depreciation of each component is based on the economic life of the component. Costs for maintenance are expensed as incurred, whereas costs for improving and upgrading property plant and equipment are added to the acquisition cost and depreciated with the related asset. If the carrying value of a non-current asset exceeds the estimated recoverable amount, the asset is written down to the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the net realisable value and value in use. In assessing value in use, the discounted estimated future cash flows from the asset are discounted.
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are valued at cost in the company accounts. The investment is valued as the cost of the shares in the subsidiary, less any impairment losses. An impairment loss is recognized if the impairment is not considered temporary, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Impairment losses are reversed if the reason for the impairment loss disappears in a later period.
Inventories
Inventories are recognized at the lowest of cost and net selling price. The net selling price is the estimated selling price in the case of ordinary operations minus the estimated completion, marketing and distribution costs. The cost is arrived at using the FIFO method and includes the costs incurred in acquiring the goods and the costs of bringing the goods to their current state and location.
Accounts receivable and other receivables
Accounts receivable and other current receivables are recorded in the balance sheet at nominal value less provisions for doubtful accounts. Provisions for doubtful accounts are based on an individual assessment of the different receivables. For the remaining receivables, a general provision is estimated based on expected loss.
Pensions
Under the defined contribution scheme the Group does not commit itself to paying specific future benefits but makes annual contributions to the employees' pension savings. The Group's payment to the defined contribution scheme amounts to 7% of salary for Norwegian employees.
Cash flow statement
The cash flow statement is presented using an indirect method. Cash and cash equivalents include cash, bank deposits and other short term, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less.
