GENFIT Reports First Quarter 2024 Financial Information

Lille (France), Cambridge (Massachusetts, United States), Zurich (Switzerland), May 14, 2024 - GENFIT (Nasdaq and Euronext: GNFT), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to improving the lives of patients with rare and life-threatening liver diseases, today announced its cash position as of March 31, 2024 and revenues for the first three months of 2024.¹

Cash position

As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to €74.0 million compared with €128.6 million as of March 31, 2023, and €77.8 million as of December 31, 2023.

The stability in cash and cash equivalents between December 31, 2023, and March 31, 2024 takes into account changes in accounts receivables (notably the receipt of the €13.3 million milestone invoiced to Ipsen in December 2023) offset by our continued research and development efforts, notably for:

• UNVEIL-IT, our Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating VS-01 in Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure (ACLF);
• our cholangiocarcinoma program evaluating GNS561;
• our ACLF program evaluating NTZ; and
• our non-clinical trial of SRT-015 in ACLF.

We expect that our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements until approximately the fourth quarter of 2025. This is based on current assumptions and programs and does not include exceptional events. This estimation includes our expectations to receive future milestone revenue in 2024, subject to approval by applicable regulatory authorities and US and European commercial launches of elafibranor in Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) by Ipsen, representing a total of approximately €75.2 million.

Revenues

Revenues for the first three months of 2024 amounted to €1.1 million compared to €5.0 million for the same period in 2023.

This revenue for the first three months of 2024 was generated under the Transition Services Agreement and Part B Transition Services Agreement, signed in April 2022 and September 2023 respectively by GENFIT and Ipsen, in order to facilitate the transition of certain services related to the Phase 3 ELATIVE clinical trial until the complete transfer of the responsibility of the trial to Ipsen.

Of the €5.0 million in revenues for the first three months of 2023, €4.1 million in revenue was attributable to the partial recognition of the €40.0 million deferred income per IFRS 15 in accordance with the Collaboration and Licensing Agreement signed with Ipsen in 2021. €0.8 million was attributable to re-billings made in accordance with this agreement. €0.1 million in revenue was generated from the services rendered by GENFIT to Ipsen in accordance with the Transition Services Agreement signed in 2022.
