Hybrigenics (ALHYG), a bio-pharmaceutical company listed on Alternext (NYSE-Euronext) in Paris, with a focus on research and development of new treatments of proliferative diseases and specialised in protein interactions, today announces its revenues and cash position for the first half of 2011.
EUR (million) 1st Half 2011 1st Half 2010 Change per cent
Services revenues 1.85 1.71 +8 per cent
Other revenues 0.19 0.37 -49 per cent
Total revenues 2.04 2.08 -2 per cent
Hybrigenics total revenue for H1 2011 remained stable, above EUR two million. All fee-for-service revenues are booked in the dedicated subsidiary created in 2010 and increased by plus eight per cent to EUR 1.85 million, mainly due to additional turnover from pharmaceutical target validation services. Other revenues now only represent subleases from rented office and laboratory space to companies housed by Hybrigenics, and decreased from EUR 0.4 million to EUR 0.2 million in H1 2011.
Hybrigenics net cash position on 30 June 2011 amounted to EUR 1.9 million as compared to EUR 2.4 million on 31 December 2010, and EUR 3.0 million one year ago, i.e. on 30 June 2010. During H1 2011, a total of EUR 1.6 million has been drawn from the equity line agreement with the American fund Yorkville Global Advisors; EUR 8.8 million are still available on this line.
“We are satisfied by the success of the strategy implemented in 2010 to regroup all services in one dedicated subsidiary, which enjoyed continuous growth. This allows the rest of the company to focus on its own pharmaceutical R&D, with a net cash burn under control: 500,000 euros in the first half of this year,” said Remi Delansorne, Hybrigenics’ CEO.
