    Nyxoah Reports Second Quarter and First Half 2022 Financial and Operating Results

    DREAM enrollment complete, 12-month clinical data expected in fall of 2023

    Mont-Saint-Guibert, Belgium – August 8, 2022, 10:05pm CET / 4:05pm ET – Nyxoah SA (Euronext Brussels/Nasdaq: NYXH) (“Nyxoah” or the “Company”), a medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative solutions to treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), today reported financial and operating results for the second quarter and first half of 2022.  

    Second Quarter 2022 Financial and Operating Highlights

    • Completed enrollment in DREAM U.S. pivotal trial; expect 12-month clinical data in the fall of 2023 and regulatory approval in the first half of 2024
    • Generated revenue of €935,000 from the commercialization of Genio® in Europe, primarily in Germany, which represents growth of more than five times the amount achieved in the second quarter of 2021
    • Activated 11 new implanting sites in Germany during the second quarter, bringing the total to 26 as of June 30, 2022; expecting to have at least 35 active implanting sites by the end of 2022
    • Received FDA approval of IDE submission to commence the ACCCESS study to treat complete concentric collapse (CCC) patients in the U.S., with first patient implant expected in the fourth quarter of 2022
    • Received FDA approval of the next generation Genio® 2.1 system for use in the DREAM study and CE mark for use in commercial patients in Europe; this improves patient comfort and compliance with a new smartphone application and upgraded external activation chip, which leverages Nyxoah’s scalable platform to continuously enhance patient comfort and therapy efficacy without requiring a new implant
    • Partnered with Acurable to distribute the AcuPebble SA100 wearable home sleep test to OSA patients in Germany; launch is expected in the fourth quarter of 2022
    • Included in the newly formed Euronext Tech Leaders Index, which is composed of 100+ innovative and high-growth technology companies with greater than €1 trillion in aggregate market capitalization

    “We made significant progress on all of our key strategic priorities this quarter, including activating 11 new commercial sites in Germany, completing enrollment in our DREAM trial, and receiving approval for our ACCCESS IDE,” commented Olivier Taelman, Nyxoah’s Chief Executive Officer. “From a commercial standpoint, our second quarter performance showing 42% quarter-over-quarter growth strengthens our confidence that we will achieve market leadership status in Germany by the end of 2022.”

    “As the only commercially available hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) therapy approved for the treatment of CCC patients, we are encouraged by the first strong results from patients who are six months post-implantation. These results, combined with no longer having to perform a drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) procedure prior to implant, are driving physicians to recommend Genio for their CCC and non-CCC patients,” continued Mr. Taelman. 

    Mr. Taelman concluded, “In the meantime, we have already begun investing in our U.S. market access organization. As for our ACCCESS study, we expect to implant the first patients before year end.”

    Revenue

    Revenue was €935,000 for the second quarter ending June 30, 2022, compared to €170,000 for the second quarter ending June 30, 2021. Revenue for the first half of 2022 was €1.6 million, compared to €355,000 for the first half of 2021. The increase in revenue was attributable to the Company’s commercialization of the Genio® system, primarily in Germany.

    Cost of Goods Sold

    Cost of goods sold was €334,000 for the three months ending June 30, 2022, representing a gross profit of €601,000, or gross margin of 64.3%. This compares to total cost of goods sold of €63,000 in the second quarter of 2021, for a gross profit of €107,000, or gross margin of 62.9%. 

    For the six months ending June 30, 2022, total cost of goods sold was €623,000, representing a gross profit of €972,000, or gross margin of 60.9%. This compares to total cost of goods sold of €115,000 in the first half of 2021, for a gross profit of €240,000, or gross margin of 67.6%.

    Research and Development Expenses

    Research and Development expenses were €3.5 million for the three months ending June 30, 2022, versus €2.4 million for the prior year period, reflecting the Company’s investments in the development of next generation versions of the Genio® system as well as ongoing clinical studies, most notably DREAM in the U.S. 

    For the six months ending June 30, 2022, Research and Development expenses were €7.1 million, versus €5.5 million for the first half of 2021.

    Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

    Selling, General and Administrative expenses rose to €4.5 million for the second quarter of 2022, up from €3.9 million in the second quarter of 2021. This was due primarily to increased commercial efforts in Germany and other European markets, as well as investments in Nyxoah’s corporate infrastructure. The Company expects to continue adding headcount across the organization ahead of the U.S. commercial launch.

    For the six months ending June 30, 2022, Selling, General and Administrative expenses were €8.7 million, up from €6.3 million in the first half of 2021 due to increased commercial efforts in Germany and investments in Nyxoah’s corporate infrastructure.

    Operating Loss

    Total operating loss for the second quarter and first half of 2022 was €7.4 million and €14.7 million, respectively, versus €6.3 million and €11.6 million in the second quarter and first half of 2021, respectively. This was driven by the acceleration in the Company’s R&D spending, as well as ongoing commercial and clinical activities. Nyxoah realized a net loss of €5.0 million and €11.8 million for the second quarter and first half of 2022, respectively, compared to a net loss of €6.7 million and €12.4 million for the second quarter and first half of 2021, respectively.

    Cash Position

    As of June 30, 2022, cash and financial assets totaled €123.3 million, compared to €135.5 million on December 31, 2021.  Total cash burn was approximately €2.0 million per month during the first half of 2022. Nyxoah expects monthly cash burn to increase in the second half of 2022 to account for the commencement of the ACCCESS IDE trial in the U.S., and the current cash position provides ample liquidity to get to U.S. commercialization in 2024.
