TORONTO and HAIFA, Israel, Nov. 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NurExone Biologic Inc. (TSXV: NRX) (OTCQB: NRXBF) (Germany: J90) (the “Company” or “NurExone”), a pioneering biopharmaceutical company developing regenerative medicine therapies, is pleased to announce its financial and operational results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the highlights of which are included in this news release. The Company’s complete set of condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and accompanying management’s discussion and analysis for the period can be accessed by visiting the Company’s website at www.nurexone.com and its profile page on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
Key Business Highlights
Third Quarter Fiscal 2024 Financial Results
As of September 30, 2024, the Company held cash and cash equivalents totaling US$2.52 million, an increase from US$0.54 million as of December 31, 2023. The Company’s working capital also improved to US$2.39 million, up from US$0.07 million at the end of 2023. The increase in cash was primarily driven by the successful completion of private placements in January and September 2024, which generated gross proceeds of approximately US$2.68 million, as well as the exercise of warrants during 2024, yielding an additional US$3.30 million. These inflows were partially offset by a cash outflow of US$3.61 million related to operational activities.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of US$17.55 million, compared to US$14.06 million as of December 31, 2023.
Eran Ovadya, NurExone’s Chief Financial Officer, stated: “Our latest financial performance reflects our commitment to advancing ExoPTEN to clinical trials, while streamlining operations and optimizing our business strategy to drive sustainable growth and secure long-term success.”
Growth Outlook for 2024-2025
According to Chief Executive Officer Dr. Lior Shaltiel, “NurExone is making significant strides on the path towards human trials, including the receipt of Orphan Drug Status for ExoPTEN in Europe, the successful transfer of key manufacturing processes to a Good Manufacturing Practice-compliant facility – an essential step toward clinical trials and commercial production. These efforts are being strengthened by our consultant, Dr. Yona Geffen, a highly respected expert who has successfully guided companies through the regulatory landscape to commercialization. In parallel, the Company is collaborating with the Goldschleger Eye Institute at Sheba Medical Center, ranked by Newsweek as one of the top ten hospitals in the world, to study ExoPTEN for its potential in a second commercial market, the multi-billion-dollar glaucoma market(1), with promising preliminary results.”
