Cash and cash equivalents totaled €96.0 million as of September 30, 2024€59.7 million in revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, including the €48.7 million milestone invoiced in June 2024 (received in August 2024) upon first sale of Ipsen’s Iqirvo® (elafibranor) in the U.S. for the treatment of Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC)  Lille (France), Cambridge (Massachusetts, United States), Zurich (Switzerland); November 7, 2024 – GENFIT (Nasdaq and Euronext: GNFT), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to improving the lives of patients with rare and life-threatening liver diseases, today announced its cash position as of September 30, 2024 and revenue for the first nine months of 20241. Cash Position As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to €96.0 million compared with €61.6 million as of June 30, 2024 and €77.8 million as of December 31, 2023. We expect that our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements until at least the start of the fourth quarter of 2025. This is based on current assumptions and programs and does not include exceptional events. In the first nine months of 2024, cash utilization is mainly the result of our research and development efforts in our ACLF franchise (notably VS-01, NTZ, SRT-015, CLM-022, and VS-02 HE), as well as GNS561 in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Cash utilization is offset notably by the €48.7 million milestone received in August 2024 (invoiced in June 2024) upon first sale of Ipsen’s Iqirvo®2 (elafibranor) in the U.S. for the treatment of PBC. Revenue Revenue3 for the first nine months of 2024 amounted to €59.7 million compared to €14.3 million for the same period in 2023. Substantially all revenue for the first nine months is attributable to our Collaboration and License Agreement with Ipsen and related Transition Services Agreements. Revenue growth is due to a milestone payment invoiced to Ipsen in June 2024 (collected in August 2024) following the first commercial sale of Iqirvo in the U.S. Of the €59.7 million in revenues for the first nine months of 2024, €48.7 million was attributable to a milestone payment invoiced to Ipsen in June 2024 and €0.9 million was attributable to royalty revenue from U.S. sales of Iqirvo/elafibranor which commenced mid-June in application of the Collaboration and License Agreement with Ipsen signed in December 2021. The remainder is comprised of €9.3 million attributable to the partial recognition of deferred income of €40 million accounted for in accordance with IFRS 15, in application of the aforementioned licensing agreement, and €0.8 million generated from the services rendered under the Transition Services Agreement and Part B Transition Services Agreement, signed in April 2022 and September 2023 respectively by GENFIT and Ipsen, in order to facilitate the transition of certain services related to the Phase 3 Elative®2 clinical trial until the complete transfer of the responsibility of the trial to Ipsen.
