Highlights for the 4th quarter of 2020
(figures in brackets apply to 2019)
➢ Year to date pre-tax results ended with a loss of NOK 49,7 million (loss of NOK 21,8 million). Results are characterized by high levels of activity in research and development in addition to preparatory work in both production and sales force ahead of the launch of our disinfectants in new markets.
➢ SoftOx Solutions raised NOK 50 million through its private placement after the stock exchange close December 16th. The interest for the capital increase was high, and more than 100 percent oversubscribed. It is only the Tranche 1 of NOK 27,5 million that has been posted in 2020, Tranche 2 (NOK 22,5 million), a repair issue and an employee issue at the same subscription price will be executed in 2021.
➢ Several new distributor agreements for our disinfection agents. One such agreement involves SoftOx Solutions’ distributor Bonaventura Scandza and NorgesGruppen for the sale of SafeDes alcohol-free hand disinfectant.
➢ The Swedish Chemicals Agency has evaluated and recommended approval of SoftOx disinfectant products for the Scandinavian markets. After hearing the Norwegian and Danish regulatory authorities, the final decision is expected delayed to late March 2.
➢ The additional safety studies for SIS in a minipig inhalation model confirmed mild changes to the respiratory epithelium when exposed with higher concentrations of SIS have been documented to be transient and fully reversible.
➢ SWIS 2 is approved by Regional Ethical Committee and ready for the start the clinical study.
Highlights – Q3 2020, including selected information for Q4
(figures in brackets apply to 2019)
➢ Year to date pre-tax results ended 30.9.2020 with a loss of NOK 29 million (loss of NOK 15 million). Results are characterised by high levels of activity in research and development in addition to preparatory work ahead of the launch of our disinfectants in new markets
➢ Clinical study of the SoftOx Wound Irrigation Solution (SWIS) was approved and has commenced
➢ The Danish Medicines Agency recommended further development of the SoftOx Inhalation Solution (SIS) for the treatment of respiratory infections, including COVID19
➢ The US Department of Defence (DoD) awarded SoftOx app. USD 2 million for the research and development of the SoftOx Biofilm Eradicator (SBE). SoftOx considers the 2 funding and support from one of the world’s leading research organisations as a great honour
➢ SoftOx has been awarded conditional certification of its disinfectants in the EU as of December 10th. The Swedish Chemicals Agency has processed and recommended SoftOx Solutions’ disinfectants, including AntiVir, for certification. This opens the possibility for certification in all EU member states
➢ On 16 June 2020, the Biocidal Products Committee (BPC) of ECHA recommended that the EU create a separate class for active chlorine from hypochlorous acid. In order to operate in line with the new European guidelines and after a dialogue with the Norwegian Environment Directorate, it was decided by SoftOx to withdraw and change the label on the products sold before the EU change took place. The practical consequence is that SoftOx chose to take back products for approximately NOK 1 million to ensure correct labeling. This decision will reduce revenues in the Q4. Except of this, the Q4 will end relatively similarly to the Q3.
Highlights – first half 2020, including selected information for Q3
(figures in brackets apply to 2019)
➢ Pre-tax results ended with a loss of NOK 17 million (minus NOK 9 million). Profits have been affected by costs related to increased production capacity in Norway and several parallel development projects.
➢ As a result of the COVID-19 epidemic, SoftOx has accelerated its launch of disinfection agents. In the first quarter of sales (Q2) we sold for impressive nearly NOK 5 million. Sales in Q3 have been affected by the restructuring of distribution and we experienced that a number of potential customers had already filled up their stocks in Q2. We expect lower sale in Q3, compared to Q2.
➢ Throughout the year, the company has completed additional clinical studies that document that AntiVirTM hand disinfectant is just as skin-friendly as salt water and more skin-friendly than alcohol.
➢ The company has completed accredited (EN) virus tests that have showed very strong virucidal (anti-virus) effects of AntiVirTM.
➢ The Danish Medicines Agency approved SoftOx’s clinical study for its SWIS-02 wound irrigation product.
➢ In Q1 The University of Copenhagen started inhalation studies on pigs where the animals inhaled different concentrations of SoftOx. A prerequisite for the inhalation studies was that the studies could be performed without serious side effects for the pigs. The company has previously proved that the SoftOx solution deactivates all known viruses, including enveloped coronavirus.
➢ In Q3, the company announced the results of inhalation studies on pigs. The results were very promising and SoftOx is excited about the potential for developing the company’s technology into a treatment for respiratory infections, including COVID-19 patients. The results indicate that we have found ‘safe’ concentrations that do not damage the airways, while simultaneously showing a sufficient antimicrobial effect to deactivate viruses.
➢ The company has decided to apply for accelerated development of an inhalation drug for the treatment of COVID-19. An initial meeting with the Danish Medicines Agency in Denmark has been agreed in the beginning of October.
➢ Received a tentative grant of USD 2 million from a US government institution for the development of SoftOx’s infection remover (SBE), a treatment of chronic wound infections.
