JERUSALEM, Aug. 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via IBN – BiondVax Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (Nasdaq: BVXV), a biotechnology company focused on developing, manufacturing, and commercializing innovative immunotherapeutic products primarily for the treatment of infectious and autoimmune diseases, announced the publication today of its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023, and provided a business update.
Second Quarter 2023 Financial Summary
As of June 30, 2023, BiondVax had cash and cash equivalents of $7.6 million as compared to $14.2 million as of December 31, 2022. In the six months ended June 30, 2023, BiondVax had an operating loss of $7.3 million and negative cash flows from operating activities of $5.9 million. BiondVax’s current operating budget includes various assumptions concerning the level and timing of cash receipts and cash outlays for operating expenses and capital expenditures, including a cost-savings plan. BiondVax is planning to finance its operations from its existing working capital resources and additional sources of capital and financing with respect to which the Company has initiated actions. However, there is no assurance that additional capital and/or financing will be available to BiondVax, and even if available, whether it will be on terms acceptable to BiondVax or in amounts required. Accordingly, BiondVax’s board of directors approved the cost-savings plan mentioned above, to be implemented if and as required, in whole or in part, at its discretion, to allow BiondVax to continue its operations and meet its cash obligations. The cost-savings plan consists of cutting expenditures by means of further efficiencies and synergies, which include mainly the reduction in headcount and postponing or cancelling capital expenditures that would not be required for the implementation of the revised business plan. BiondVax’s Board of Directors believes that BiondVax’s existing financial resources, potential successful capital raisings and its current operating plans (including the possible disposition of assets outside the ordinary course of business) and restructuring of debt, along with the effects of the cost-savings plan, may be adequate to satisfy its expected liquidity requirements for a period of at least twelve months from the date hereof, although there is no guarantee.
BiondVax’s unaudited financial results will be submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 6‑K. A summary of such results is included in the tables below.
