• The Company’s revenue primarily stems from the licensing and collaboration agreements entered into with Tonghua Dongbao (THDB) for the development, manufacturing and commercialization of BioChaperone^® Lispro and BioChaperone^® Combo in China and other territories in Asia.

• The revenue recorded for the year 2021 (EUR 1.4 million) reflects the progress of research and development services provided by Adocia in connection with the transfer and development of products as contracted in 2018. Upon partner's request, additional services were provided by Adocia's teams in particular on the BioChaperone^® Combo project, for an amount of nearly 1 million euros.

Net Cash Position

The Company had a cash position of EUR 15.2 million as of December 31, 2021, compared to EUR 28.1 million as of December 31, 2020. Cash consumption for the year 2021 amounts to EUR 19.9 million and stands below last year's level (EUR 22.5 million), on a comparable basis (excluding financing operations).

Net financial liabilities (excluding derivative debts impacts) amounted to EUR 33.3 million as of December 31, 2021, compared with EUR 27.3 million as of December 31, 2020. The EUR 6 million increase is mainly due to the convertible issuance carried out in October 2021, which resulted in a net cash inflow of EUR 6 million. A portion of the bonds was converted at the end of December, the balance being recorded as debt under IFRS 9 and IAS 32.
