Starting in June 2022 with the launch of its new BIOCERA-VET line, TheraVet has continued its commercial deployment in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain and the United State. The Company generated €0.09 million of revenue, mainly in Europe.

A total of 534 units1 of BIOCERA-VET products were sold in Europe, a performance within the sales objectives set by the Company in this market.

In Europe, BIOCERA-VET® Osteosarcoma accounted for 15% of total sales, highlighting the potential and the interest generated by innovative orthopedic solutions. Building on this

momentum, TheraVet intends to consolidate its position in Europe by partnering with new distributors in Germany and Italy while strengthening its links with its distribution partners in Belgium, France, the United Kingdom and Spain.

In the United States, sales were by direct sales only due to delays in setting up the distribution activities. As of mid-October owing to the ACVS Surgery Summit (American College of Veterinary Surgeons) in Portland, Oregon, direct sales have started to gain traction over the last weeks of the year.

Finally, TheraVet announced the signing of a distribution agreement on February 21, 2023 with Vetpharma, a leading company in the marketing of veterinary products and services, to cover 24 new countries, including new high-potential territories such as the Scandinavian countries, Brazil, South Africa, Australia and Japan. This new agreement makes the BIOCERA-VET® range available on five continents while addressing an estimated population of more than 150 million dogs2.

The Company also generated €1.51 million of "produced fixed asset" as a result of the activation of research and development expenses related to the BIOCERA-VET® and VISCO-VET® programs.

The development of preclinical and clinical programs as well as the marketing plan of BIOCERA-VET® products are in accordance with the Company development plan as reflected by the "Purchases and expenses" globally aligned with last year expenses :

  • COGS increased by €0.15 million as compared to 2021 as the results of the marketing of the new range of BIOCERA-VET® products and sale increase;
  • R&D expenses decreased by €0.56 million as compared to 2021, reaching €0.59 million. The decrease is mainly the result of (i) a decrease in the expenses related to VISCO-VET® development and GMP manufacturing process validation (€0.39 million in December 2022 as compared to €0.84 million in December 2021) and of (ii) a slightly decrease in BIOCERA-VET® development expenses as compared to 2021 expenses (€0.21 million in December 2022 vs €0.29 million in December 2021);
  • Corporate and listed company related expenses increased by €0.02 million as compared to 2021 and related to the agreement with Rotschild&Co (market maker contract) and Degroof Petercam (sponsor research agreement);
  • Marketing & Sales expenses increased by €0.04 million as compared to 2021 related to the commercial launch of BIOCERA-VET® and the attendance to international and national relevant conferences and congresses;
  • G&A expenses increased by €0.31 milllion as compared to 2021 mainly as the results of:

2 1 to 2% of the dog population is subjected to orthopedic surgeries each year, from which 10 to 20% requires a bone graft. 20 to 50% of bone grafts are bone subsititutes such as BIOCERA-VET depending on veterinary surgeon preferences, availability of autograft or other bone substitutes. However, these estimates – based on EU & US epidemiological data – can also be impacted by the number fo veterinary surgeons, access to operating rooms and surgical equipment, by the owner awareness of treatments, price and affordability of procedures, owner willingness to pay, insurance coverage, etc

  • o the increase of the operational consultants in order to structure and streghten the Company (increase of €0.16 million as compared to 2021);
  • o the recruitment of new independant board members to strengthen the Board of the Company.
  • Staff expenses increased to €0.36 million as compared to 2021 as result of the strenghtening of the Company organization.

Finally, the amortization of development expenses related to the BIOCERA-VET® and VISCO-VET® programs results in an operating loss of €2.8 million and a net loss of €2.3 million.

The Company's cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2022 amounted at €3.19 million, allowing it to fund operation at least until the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2024.
