Revenue from sales totaled €511 thousand in the first half of 2022, growing by 9.4% compared with the first half of 2021. This growth was achieved by a more consolidated commercial offer, improvements in logistics and customer management, and by the sale of a scanner to the University of South Florida.
Total revenue from activity, once other revenue is taken into account, grew by 5.8% to €743 thousand. Other revenue, corresponding to the Research Tax Credit, was €232 thousand.

Current operating expenses grew by 4.3% to €3.2 million, and principally broke down as follows, in addition to the cost of sales:

  • €1.6 million in R&D expenses, due to the continued impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and a refocus on projects with greater added value;
  • €0.3 million in Sales & Marketing expenses, down 47% compared with H1 2021 due to reduced activity over the period; and
  • €1.3 million in General & Administrative expenses, stable compared with H1 2021.

The operating loss was -€2.5 million at June 30, 2022 (-€2.3 million in H1 2021). The net loss was -€2.6 million (-€2.3 million in H1 2021).

Financial structure as of June 30, 2022

Genomic Vision had cash and cash equivalents of €1 million at June 30, 2022, versus €2.3 million at December 31, 2021. This cash consumption is linked to the regular operations of the company.

In the first half of 2022, cash burn excluding financing flows was €1.7 million, versus €2 million in the first half of 2021, notably as a result of the decrease in working capital requirements largely due to extensive work from the teams to improve cash collection.

Based on revised sales growth and R&D, Sales & Marketing and General & Administrative spending assumptions and associated working capital requirement assumptions, as well as the contract signed with Winance, Genomic Vision has the necessary financial resources to continue its development over the next 12 months.

Impact of the Covid-19 crisis

The global economic slowdown associated with the public health crisis had a substantial impact on Genomic Vision’s main current and prospective clients slowing down the Sales and Technical teams’ business travel and platform installation.

Impact of the Ukrainian crisis

Genomic Vision does not have customers in Ukraine or Russia. Nevertheless, the overall economic slowdown linked to the crisis negatively impacts its other customers and prospects.
