    Nyxoah Reports First Quarter 2022 Financial and Operating Results

    Mont-Saint-Guibert, Belgium – May 10, 2022, 08:50pm CET / 2:50pm ET – Nyxoah SA (Euronext Brussels/Nasdaq: NYXH)(“Nyxoah” or the “Company”), a medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative solutions to treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), today reported financial and operating results for the first quarter of 2022.  

    First Quarter 2022 Financial and Operating Highlights

    • Generated revenue of €660,000 from the commercialization of Genio® in Europe, primarily in Germany, which represents year-over-year growth of more than three-and-and-half times and is more than double what was achieved in the fourth quarter of 2021
    • Exited the first quarter with 15 active implant sites in Germany, representing 25% growth over Q4 2021; Nyxoah expects to add an extra 10 sites by the end of the third quarter of 2022, bringing the total to 25 active implanting accounts and driving quarterly sales acceleration and market leadership in Germany by the end of 2022
    • Completed the first commercial Complete Concentric Collapse (CCC) patients in Germany
    • Accelerated monthly patient enrollment in the DREAM U.S. IDE study and continue to expect implants to be completed in the second quarter of 2022
    • The U.S. FDA approved Nyxoah’s request to reduce the sample size in DREAM to 115 patients from the original 134, driven by new and favorable data from the BETTER SLEEP study; aside from the updated sample size, all other study parameters, including performance goals, statistical power, and significance level, remain identical to the original approved study 
    • Nominated Raymond Cohen, Chief Executive Officer and board member of Axonics, Inc. and Virginia Kirby, Executive-in-Residence at the Discovery Launchpad at the University of Minnesota’s Office of Technology Commercialization, for appointment to the Board of Directors, pending approval by the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on June 8, 2022; Don Deyo and Jan Janssen are stepping down, keeping the total number of board members at eight

    “I am extremely pleased with our first quarter results and strong execution that resulted in an acceleration in sales and DREAM implants as we progress towards achieving all of our strategic priorities for 2022 and beyond,” commented Olivier Taelman, Nyxoah’s Chief Executive Officer. “On the commercial side, the €660,000 of revenue we booked in the first quarter was roughly equal to the revenue performance from the previous three quarters combined. We now have 15 active implant sites in Germany, and we will continue to add 10 more sites by the end of the third quarter. This growth validates our patient-centric, ‘Going Deep’ strategy of developing Centers of Excellence as we increase therapy penetration at each of these sites. We were also thrilled to implant our first commercial CCC patients in Germany, and we expect continued acceleration in CCC implants following the positive response to our BETTER SLEEP data presentation at the World Sleep Congress in Rome, where we hosted 55 key opinion leaders during the pre-Congress symposium.”

    Mr. Taelman continued, “We are also happy with the acceleration in the pace of implants in our DREAM U.S. pivotal study, given recent weekly implant rates, which have increased meaningfully over the last month. We believe we have enough patients enrolled to complete the study by the end of the second quarter of 2022, particularly in light of the FDA’s approval to reduce the sample size to 115 patients. We also continue our dialogue with FDA regarding our IDE submission for our ACCCESS trial for CCC patients in the U.S., and we expect to implant our first patient before the end of this year.”

    “Finally, I am thrilled to announce the nominations of Ray Cohen and Ginny Kirby for appointment to the Board of Directors. They will bring a wealth of knowledge that will benefit Nyxoah as we complete DREAM, prepare for our U.S. launch, and advance our pipeline. I look forward to working closely with both of them,” concluded Mr. Taelman.

    Revenue

    Revenue was €660,000 for the first quarter ending March 31, 2022, compared to €185,000 for the first quarter ending March 31, 2021. The increase in revenue was attributable to the Company’s commercialization of the Genio® system, primarily in Germany.

    Cost of Goods Sold

    Cost of goods sold was €289,000 for the three months ending March 31, 2022, representing a gross profit of €371,000, or gross margin of 56.2%.

    Research and Development Expenses

    Research and Development expenses were €3.6 million for the three months ending March 31, 2022, versus €3.1 million for the prior year period, reflecting the Company’s investments in the development of next generation versions of the Genio® system as well as ongoing clinical studies, most notably DREAM in the U.S.

    Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

    General and administrative expenses rose to €4.2 million for the first quarter of 2022, up from €2.4 million in the first quarter of 2021. This was due primarily to increased commercial efforts in Germany and other European markets, as well as investments in Nyxoah’s corporate infrastructure. The Company expects to continue adding headcount across the organization ahead of U.S. commercial launch.

    Operating Loss

    Total operating loss for the first quarter of 2022 was €7.3 million versus €5.3 million in the first quarter of 2021, driven by the acceleration in our R&D spending, as well as ongoing commercial and clinical activities. Nyxoah realized a net loss of €6.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to a net loss of €5.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

    Cash Position
    As of March 31, 2022, cash and financial assets totaled €127.8 million on March 31, 2022, compared to €135.5 million on December 31, 2021. Total cash burn was approximately €2.6 million per month during the first quarter of 2022. Nyxoah expects monthly cash burn to increase slightly as the year progresses to account for the commencement of the ACCCESS IDE trial in the U.S., and current cash position provides ample liquidity to get to U.S. commercialization in 2024.

Following the positive outcomes of the BETTER SLEEP study, Nyxoah received CE mark approval for the expansion of its therapeutic indications to Complete Concentric Collapse (CCC) patients, currently contraindicated in competitors’ therapy.
