Evogene Reports Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Published

on

 

Evogene Ltd. (Nasdaq: EVGN) (TASE: EVGN), a leading computational biology company aiming to revolutionize the development of life-science-based products utilizing cutting-edge computational biology technologies across multiple market segments, today announced its financial results for the third quarter period ended September 30, 2023.

Mr. Ofer HavivEvogene’s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: “The events in Israel since October 7, 2023, have brought about significant changes to our nation; we find ourselves at a time of profound reflection. Our hearts go out to all those directly and indirectly impacted by these evil acts. I want to emphasize that these hardships only deepen our resolve to succeed and thrive. Despite these challenges, Evogene and our subsidiaries continue to operate, unwavering in our commitment to innovation and progress. Our strategic focus remains steady, and our dedicated team works tirelessly to achieve our objectives for 2023 and set the course for 2024.

In these uncertain times, it’s crucial to underscore the financial stability of the Evogene Group. As of the end of the third quarter, the group had a consolidated cash position of approximately $37.2 million, with contributions from Lavie Bio – $7.1 million, Biomica – $14.6 million, and Evogene (together with Casterra, AgPlenus, and Canonic) – $15.5 million. It’s important to note that this figure doesn’t include any amount due to the purchase orders received by Casterra in the last few months and that Lavie Bio’s cash balance is set to increase by an additional $2.5 million in January 2024 as part of a commercial agreement with Corteva.

Furthermore, we anticipate additional orders for Casterra’s castor seeds and new collaborations to generate cash flow for the group, further enhancing our financial stability.

Mr. Haviv continued: “As previously stated, this year we invested in establishing collaborations directly between Evogene and industry leaders, aiming to leverage our AI tech-engines for product development. We are very excited with the initial fruits of these efforts, as demonstrated by the recently reported collaboration with Colors Farm and Ben Gurion University – to pioneer crustacean gene editing technology aiming to enhance crustacean traits. The collaboration is powered by a grant from the Israel Innovation Authority and will utilize Evogene’s GeneRator AI tech-engine.”

Mr. Haviv added: “We are very proud of the achievements of our subsidiaries in the last few months. I want to emphasize that as part of their competitive advantage, all the subsidiaries use Evogene’s AI tech-engines, under exclusive license, to direct and accelerate their product development.”

Biomica Ltd. – develops microbiome-based therapeutics, leveraging Evogene’s MicroBoost AI tech-engine.

– Biomica’s leading product candidate, BMC128, for treating cancer patients, is now in a phase 1 clinical trial. The trial is conducted in Israel and started at the Rambam Health Care Campus. It aims to evaluate BMC128’s safety and tolerability alongside Bristol Myers Squibb’s Opdivo® immunotherapy. In August, Biomica opened a second site at The Davidoff Cancer Center to allow the recruitment of additional potential patients. The trial is planned to include 10-12 patients; currently, 7 have enrolled.

– Biomica is advancing in preparing for a pre-IND meeting for BMC128, expected to occur in the first quarter of 2024.

Lavie Bio Ltd. – develops and commercializes microbiome-based ag-biological products, utilizing Evogene’s MicroBoost AI tech-engine.

– In July, Lavie Bio announced a licensing agreement with Corteva. The agreement grants Corteva exclusive rights to develop further and commercialize two of Lavie Bio’s lead bio-fungicide product candidates – LAV311 and LAV312 – targeting fruit-rots. Lavie Bio is entitled to an initial payment of approximately $5 million in 2 installments: the first payment of $2.5 million was received in September 2023, and the second payment is expected in the first quarter of 2024. It will also be eligible for additional future milestone payments and royalties from Corteva’s sales of these future products.

– Last week, Lavie Bio announced a significant progress in its bio-fungicide program with LAV321, designed to combat downy mildew and late blight diseases. Field trials conducted in 2023 across Europe and the United States have yielded impressive results, establishing LAV321 as a potent solution against fungal diseases. Next year, LAV321 is expected to be tested in field trials by several multinational companies, for some of which it will be the second year of validation.

AgPlenus Ltd. – aims to develop and commercialize next-generation crop protection products, utilizing Evogene’s ChemPass AI tech-engine.

– As previously disclosed, there is a growing interest in AgPlenus’ lead target protein APTH1 and the small molecules that bind to this protein as candidates for a novel herbicide with a broad weed control spectrum. AgPlenus expects this interest to lead to a collaboration with a leading industry player.

Casterra Ag Ltd. – provides an integrated end-to-end solution for large-scale castor bean cultivation, utilizing Evogene’s GeneRator AI tech-engine.

– In September, Casterra delivered its first shipment of high-yield, high-oil castor seeds from Brazil and Zambia to an African region, generating recognized revenue of approximately $0.9 million in this quarter.

– In recent months, Casterra made substantial steps in expanding its overseas seed production capabilities through subcontractors. As the complexity of this operation is high, it requires additional resources and extensive physical attendance of Casterra’s professionals at the production sites overseas. Casterra is currently investing efforts in expanding its workforce to support this operation and, in parallel, looking for additional seed production subcontractors to manage risks.

Canonic Ltd. – provides tailored medical cannabis products to optimize consumer well-being, utilizing Evogene’s GeneRator AI tech-engine.

– The Israeli medical cannabis market is characterized by a vast spectrum of products, either grown locall or imported. Capturing the patients’ attention is challenging, leading to prices dropping even for premium products. To address this challenge, Canonic is focusing its marketing efforts on the frequent launching of new products in limited batches. During the third quarter, Canonic launched two new products, Tango and Two Aces, and this week, an additional product, SouthSide, was launched.

– During the last quarter, Canonic engaged with a new Israeli cultivator, EverGreen; four elite strains are currently being cultivated.

Mr. Haviv concluded: “All the subsidiaries are advancing their business targets, and as a shareholder, Evogene is very proud of this progress. Looking forward, when evaluating the needs of our wholly owned subsidiaries and their commercial potential, we intend to invest more efforts and resources in Casterra – since we see significant potential in the bio-diesel market, which castor oil can support, while reducing our investment in Canonic – due to the challenging market conditions of the medical cannabis sector.”

Key Financial Highlights:

As of September 30, 2023, Evogene had consolidated cash, cash equivalents, and short-term bank deposits amounted to approximately $37.2 million. This included $14.6 million for Biomica, $7.1 million for Lavie Bio, and $15.5 million collectively for Evogene, Casterra, Canonic, and AgPlenus. The injection of funds from the last round of investment in July strengthens Evogene’s financial position and provides it with the resources needed to execute future plans effectively.

The $15.5 million reflected in the cash balance of Evogene, together with Casterra, Canonic, and AgPlenus, does not include any amount due to the purchase orders received by Casterra in the last few months, which were partially supplied during the third quarter of 2023, and the $7.1 million reflected in the cash balance of Lavie Bio does not include the $2.5 million, which represents the second half of the upfront payment from the licensing agreement with Corteva, that is expected to be received at the beginning of 2024.

During the third quarter, the consolidated cash usage was approximately $4.8 million or approximately $3.2  million, excluding Lavie Bio, Biomica, and $1.2 million of advanced payments to Casterra’s subcontractors for castor seed production.

Financial Performance:

Revenues for the third quarter of 2023 were approximately $3.8 million compared to approximately $0.5 million in the same period the previous year. The revenue increase was primarily due to revenues recognized by Lavie Bio per the licensing agreement with Corteva and due to revenues recognized by Casterra for the supply of castor seeds during the third quarter of 2023.

R&D expenses for the third quarter of 2023, which are reported net of non-refundable grants received, were approximately $5.1 million and remained stable compared to approximately $5.0 million in the same period in the previous year.

Sales and marketing expenses were approximately $850 thousand for the third quarter of 2023 and slightly decreased as compared to approximately $895 thousand in the same period the previous year. The main contributor to this expense decrease was a reduction in personnel expenses at Canonic.

General and administrative expenses were approximately $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2023 and remained stable compared to approximately $1.6 million in the same period in the previous year.

Operating loss for the third quarter of 2023 was approximately $4.2 million compared to an operating loss of approximately $7.1 million in the same period in the previous year. The decrease in operating loss is mainly due to the increased revenues mentioned above.

Financing income net for the third quarter of 2023 was approximately $320 thousand compared to the financing expenses net of approximately $61 thousand in the same period in the previous year. This difference was mainly due to an increase in interest income during the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in the previous year.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2023 was approximately $3.9 million compared to a net loss of approximately $7.2 million in the same period in the previous year. The decrease in the net loss is mainly due to the increased revenues recognized in the third quarter of 2023.

SimSpace Welcomes Matt Knutsen as New Chief Revenue Officer to Spearhead Expansion Plan

Published

on

simspace-welcomes-matt-knutsen-as-new-chief-revenue-officer-to-spearhead-expansion-plan

SimSpace strengthens their leadership team, appointing Knutsen to drive revenue growth for the company as it expands further into the public sector 
BOSTON, May 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — SimSpace, the US-based industry leader in AI-Powered cyber ranges, announced today the appointment of Matt Knutsen as its new Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). Matt will champion SimSpace’s global sales and revenue growth strategy. He will drive expansion initiatives and foster strategic partnerships to stress test businesses’ and state agencies’ people, processes and technologies against the most advanced adversaries.

With more than 20 years of experience in the field, Matt most recently held the position of CRO at cyber training provider Immersive Labs, where he increased revenue growth by over 4000% and attracted over $180M in investment. He also launched the company into new markets, expanding the team across Australia, Europe, the Middle East, New Zealand and the US. The combination of Matt’s wealth of experience and his in-depth industry knowledge make him well-equipped to lead SimSpace’s next phase of growth.
As nation-state attacks rise in frequency, and AI drives a new wave of severe cyberattacks, companies also have to navigate uncertain economic conditions. SimSpace empowers organizations to cut unnecessary spending through stack optimization, allowing CISOs to maximize their ROI and effectiveness of their technology stack. Knutsen’s influence in the field will propel the SimSpace Platform to new heights, advancing access for companies and governments that need to optimize their cybersecurity defenses and safeguard their critical infrastructure from an increasingly volatile threat landscape.
Matt Knutsen is the most recent addition to SimSpace’s Executive Leadership Team, following Clint Sand’s appointment as Chief Product Officer in February 2024. His appointment underscores SimSpace’s continued growth trajectory, headed by the $45M they secured in funding from L2 Point Management, bringing the total capital raised over the past year to $70M.

TRENDS INFLUENCING THE GROWTH OF THE GLOBAL VIRTUAL ASSISTANT MARKET
The growing requirement for efficient administrative support services is driving the virtual assistant market in the BFSI sector. Virtual assistants, who manage administrative tasks including data entry, document preparation, and email correspondence, are a wonderful asset to financial firms. Their remote access to planning resources from a home office makes it easier for clients to cooperate and boosts output. Additionally, virtual assistants with specialised knowledge in banking, finance, and regulatory compliance improve customer service and operational performance in the BFSI sector.
Because they offer administrative help to companies in the retail and e-commerce sectors, virtual assistants are essential to this industry. Virtual assistants let retailers focus on their main business activities by streamlining their operations and performing tasks like inventory management, product listing updates, and customer questions and orders processing. Their remote access to common calendars and other planning materials guarantees smooth client collaboration and improves responsiveness to client requests. Because virtual assistants provide flexible support services that can adjust to changing demand levels, they can help retail and e-commerce enterprises scale.
Virtual assistants are fostering growth in the automotive industry by offering administrative support services to companies in this field. Virtual assistants help auto firms with a range of duties, such as addressing client questions, making appointment arrangements, and organising logistics for car delivery and maintenance. The flexibility and efficiency of the automotive supply chain are increased by their remote access to planning documents and capacity to work from home offices. Furthermore, virtual assistants enhance client satisfaction by offering prompt help and support during the whole lifespan of a vehicle.
The market for virtual assistants is expanding in the healthcare industry as providers look to enhance patient care and streamline administrative procedures. Virtual assistants help healthcare businesses by taking care of patient queries, organizing appointments, and helping with medical paperwork duties. They may collaborate with healthcare professionals more easily and efficiently since they can work from home offices and access shared calendars and patient information. By promptly responding to questions and concerns about healthcare, virtual assistants can help to increase patient satisfaction.
The demand for cost-cutting and operational efficiency, the emergence of software-defined networking (SDN) technologies, and the growing complexity of network infrastructures are the main drivers of the market for network automation. In response to expanding digital transformation projects and the growth of cloud-based services and apps, organisations across a wide range of sectors are adopting automation to increase agility, streamline network administration operations, and boost security posture.
