PARIS & CAMBRIDGE, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Regulatory News:

NANOBIOTIX (Paris:NANO) (Euronext: NANO – ISIN: FR0011341205 – the “Company”), a late clinical-stage nanomedicine company pioneering new approaches to the treatment of cancer, today announced its half year financial results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019. These results are represented in the consolidated financial statements at 30 June, 2019 that were reviewed by the Supervisory Board and the Executive Board dated September 4, 2019 and have been subject to a limited review by the Company’s statutory auditors.

Philippe Mauberna, CFO of Nanobiotix, commented: “The first half of 2019 was marked by a major event with the CE marking of first-in-class radioenhancer NBTXR3, under the brand name Hensify®. The clinical registration plan for head and neck cancers in the United States, communicated in March, is also a big step forward for our company. The strength of our cash position gives us financial visibility to carry out our development plans through Q4 2020.”

Financial Highlights

• Revenue for the first half of 2019 amounted to €1.8m (H1 2018: €2.1m), coming mainly from €1.8m of Research Tax Credit
• In April 2019, the Company raised €29.5m in a placement of new shares to a specific class of investors
• Given the expected expansion and acceleration of the Company’s global development strategy, operating expenses grew significantly compared to the previous year (€22.3m in H1 2019 vs. €15.0m in H1 2018)
• The operating result for the period was a €20.5m loss compared to €13.0m (loss) in H1 2018
• The Company had cash and financial investments at June 30, 2019 of €55.1m (31 December 2018: €36.2m)

Operational Highlights

In January 2019, clinical development continued to progress as Nanobiotix announced it partnered with The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center to launch a large-scale, comprehensive clinical collaboration for first-in-class radioenhancer NBTXR3. The collaboration will initially support nine new phase I/II clinical trials evaluating NBTXR3 in the treatment of six cancer types and will involve around 340 patients.

At the end of March 2019, Nanobiotix also announced its clinical registration plan for head and neck cancers in the United States, following US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) feedback. The Company plans to initiate its global clinical trial authorization process with FDA in Q4 2019.

In early April 2019, the Company posted that first-in-class radioenhancer NBTXR3, under the brand name Hensify®, obtained first European market approval for the treatment of locally advanced Soft Tissue Sarcoma (STS) of the extremity or trunk wall.

During that six-month period, the Company also announced the presentation of pre-clinical data showing that the combination of NBTXR3, radiotherapy and anti-PD-1 immunotherapy demonstrated efficacy in treating resistant pre-clinical in vivo lung cancer.

On the financial front, Nanobiotix received €14m in March through the second tranche disbursement of loan financing from the European Investment Bank (EIB). The Company also raised approximately €29.5m in April 2019 through the placement of new shares to a specific class of investors. The proceeds of this recent offering will primarily be used to prepare for the launch of the expected phase II/III clinical trial in head and neck cancers for registration in the United-States.

As a result of this latest transaction, the Company’s cash visibility now extends through the end of 2020. In late April, CEO Laurent Levy also subscribed to new shares in the Company, exercising founders’ warrants (Bons de Souscription de Parts de Créateur d’Entreprise or “BSPCE”) for an amount of €960,000.

Subsequent Events

Nanobiotix also recently announced organizational changes as the Company enters its next stage following its first European market approval.

In May, Nanobiotix also announced the launch of Curadim, a new nanotechnology platform for healthcare.
