In 2017, Theradiag generated consolidated revenue of €9.1 million, up 1% compared with the 2016 figure of €9.0 million. Full-year revenue from the Theranostics business unit rose 4% from €4 million in 2016 to €4.2 million in 2017, and accounted for 46% of Theradiag’s total revenue. In this business unit, 80% of revenue comes from sales of kits for routine use. That revenue rose by 20% in 2017 and came from direct sales to hospitals and medical analysis laboratories, along with sales arising from partnerships with InformDX (formerly Miraca Life Science), Janssen, Biogen, MSD and Hospira/Pfizer. The remaining Theranostics revenue comes mainly from pharmaceutical and diagnostic studies for our partners which, although carried out on a one-off basis, could represent a first step towards future commercial agreements. As in 2016, products developed in-house accounted for 75% of the company’s total sales. Sales of distribution products rose 2%, due in particular to molecular biology products. Exports continued to grow as a proportion of sales, accounting for 51% of the total in 2017 as opposed to 46% in 2016.
“Our agreements with pharmaceutical companies and the development of our export business are boosting sales of LISA TRACKER® kits. That growth, which reflects our market penetration, should continue to strengthen in 2018. IVD sales remain stable in the absence of the BioCLIA® launch,” said Michel Finance, Theradiag’s Chief Executive Officer.
Cash position At December 31, 2017, Theradiag had available net cash of €5.16 million as opposed to €3.74 million at December 31, 2016, following the successful completion of its €4 million capital increase in May 2017.
Update on discussions with HOB Biotech Since the last press release dated December 19, 2017, discussions between Theradiag and HOB Biotech continued, but the parties failed to reach a common position. In relation to this matter, HOB Biotech has now notified Theradiag that it is terminating one of the partnership agreements. Theradiag is disputing this termination and has put HOB Biotech on notice to remedy the contractual breaches that have arisen. Any material change in the situation will be disclosed through a press release in due course.
Next press release Full-year 2017 results: by 24 April 2018 at the latest.
