Regulatory News:

Pixium Vision (Paris:PIX) (FR0011950641 - PIX), a company developing innovative bionic vision systems to allow patients who have lost their sight to lead more independent lives, announces the release of its sales for the first nine month of 2015.

Khalid Ishaque, CEO of Pixium Vision, said: "Over the summer of 2015, Pixium Vision has continued to make solid progress in its clinical study with the IRIS^® system and implanted 3 additional patients in Europe. The company is now finalising the CE mark dossier for the IRIS^®II system, the most advanced epi-retinal system combining proprietary bio-inspired camera and processing, together with close to 3 times more electrodes than those marketed. More importantly, IRIS^® is uniquely designed to offer potential for future upgrades to the patients.” Khalid Ishaque added: "In parallel, the company continues to progress on its second system, PRIMA, a truly disruptive wireless sub-retinal photovoltaic implant. Pre-clinical studies, assessing the safety of PRIMA, are ongoing in preparation for the first in human in 2016. With this second generation system, Pixium Vision aims to significantly widen its addressable market by proposing an elegant solution for Age related Macular Degeneration (AMD) patients.”

The company recorded other operating income of 2.65 million euros in the first nine months of 2015, up close to 70% year-on-year. Pixium Vision, the only company in the world developing in parallel two distinct retinal Vision Restoration Systems (VRS), recorded a Research Tax Credit (RTC) of 1.96 million euros, up 25% year on year and 0.63 million euros from the first payment for the research grant of 1.26 million euros provided in December 2014 by Bpifrance under the SIGHT AGAIN project.

The net use of cash flow from operating activities at 30 September 2015 amounted to 12.1 million euros compared to 7.5 million euros over the same period in 2014. Since its IPO, the company has been developing in parallel two distinct retinal VRSs, IRIS^® and PRIMA. Furthermore, and to accommodate its growing business, the Company has recently moved to new premises.

At September 30, 2015, Pixium Vision’s net cash position amounted to 28.1 million euros compared to 42.8 million euros a year earlier. In 2014, the company had recorded net proceeds of 37.5 million euros raised in its IPO on Euronext.
