Interim financial report
First quarter 2024
DREAM US: IDE PIVOTAL STUDY
Nyxoah initiated its pivotal DREAM IDE trial in the United States in December 2020 to support an application seeking FDA marketing authorization and, ultimately, reimbursement in the U.S. for bilateral hypoglossal nerve stimulation for the treatment of moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (“OSA”). The DREAM trial is a multicenter, prospective, open-label trial in which patients who undergo implantation of the Genio® system will be followed for five years post-implantation to assess the safety and efficacy of the Genio® system in patients with moderate-to-severe OSA.
The trial was initially expected to enroll 134 patients who will undergo the implantation procedure with 12-month effectiveness and safety primary endpoints across 18 centers in the United States and six international sites. In April 2022, the FDA approved the Company’s request to reduce the trial’s sample size to 115 patients from 134 after reviewing data from the BETTER SLEEP trial (see below).
The primary safety endpoint is incidence of device-related severe adverse events ("SAEs") at 12-months post implantation. The co-primary effectiveness endpoints are the percentage of responders with at least a 50% reduction on the apnea-hypopnea index ("AHI") with hypopneas associated with a 4% oxyhemoglobin desaturation and a remaining AHI with hypopneas associated with a 4% oxyhemoglobin desaturation less than 20, and a 25% reduction on the oxygen desaturation index ("ODI") between baseline and 12-month visits. Patients with moderate to severe OSA (AHI score between 15 and 65) and aged between 22 and 75 years are eligible for enrolment if they failed, did not tolerate or refused positive airway pressure ("PAP") treatment. Patients with a body mass index above 32 kg/m2, a complete concentric collapse ("CCC") observed during a drug induced sleep endoscopy and combined central and mixed AHI above 25% at baseline polysomnography are to be excluded.
On March 19th, 2024, the Company reported the DREAM study met its primary endpoints on an intent-to-treat (ITT) basis, with an Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) responder rate of 63.5% (p=0.002) and an Oxygen Desaturation Index (ODI) responder rate of 71.3% (p<0.001). Additionally, the study demonstrated a median 12-month AHI reduction of 70.8%. There were 11 serious adverse events, or SAEs, in ten subjects resulting in an SAE rate of 8.7%. Out of the 11 SAEs, three were device related and there were three explants. The Company has submitted the first three modules in the modular premarket approval (PMA) application and anticipates filing the fourth and final module during the second quarter of 2024.
BETTER SLEEP: ACHIEVED PRIMARY ENDPOINT IN BOTH CCC AND NON-CCC PATIENT COHORTS
In March 2022, the Company attended the World Sleep Congress in Rome, Italy, and presented data generated from its BETTER SLEEP trial, a multicenter, prospective, open-label, two-group clinical trial, designed to assess the long-term safety and performance of the Genio® system for the treatment of adult OSA patients with and without CCC of the soft palate over a period of 36 months post-implantation. The BETTER SLEEP trial included a subgroup of CCC patients, which is a patient population that is contraindicated for unilateral hypoglossal nerve stimulation.
In the BETTER SLEEP trial, 42 patients were implanted with the Genio® system, 18 of whom presented with CCC (or 42.9% of the total implanted population) at eight research centers in Australia. The primary safety endpoint was the incidence of device-related SAEs six months post-implantation. The primary performance endpoint was achieving at least a 4-point reduction in the apnea-hypopnea index (4% oxygen desaturation, or AHI4) from baseline at six months for the entire patient cohort. Patients with moderate to severe AHI scores (15 < AHI < 65) and aged between 21 and 75 years were eligible for enrollment if they failed, refused or did not tolerate PAP treatment. Patients with a body mass index above 32 kg/m2 were excluded.
Three patients in the non-CCC arm and three patients in the CCC arm did not complete their six-month polysomnography, and as a result, the analysis was calculated based on 36 patients (21 non-CCC and 15 CCC). Of these 36 patients, there were 23 responders (64%), including nine of the 15 CCC patients (60%) and 14 of the 21 non-CCC patients (67%), at six months. The overall reduction was statistically significant with an 11-point reduction (p<0.001), with statistically significant reductions of 10 points (p=0.001) in the CCC cohort and 11 points (p<0.001) in the non-CCC cohort. In addition, mean AHI4 reduction exceeded 70% among responders in both CCC and non-CCC cohorts. These results are subject to final review and validation.
With respect to the primary safety endpoint, preliminary unadjudicated safety data showed four SAEs in three patients during the six-month post-implantation period. Of those, two SAEs in one patient were reported as device related, one SAE in one patient was reported as procedure and device related, and one SAE in one patient was reported as unrelated to procedure or device. Final review and adjudication of SAEs and adverse events ("AEs") have not yet been completed by an independent clinical events committee and as a result the characterization of SAEs or AEs could be subject to change.
While additional data, including responder rates, remains subject to ongoing review and continues to be analyzed, the Company observed in the per protocol group a 70% responder rate in the non-CCC patient subgroup based on the Sher criteria. The per protocol group consisted of 35 patients and excluded five patients from the mITT analysis population: two of these patients were lost to follow-up, one patient did not comply with the study protocol, and two patients were removed from the study by the investigator, one for hostility towards staff and one having returned to continuous positive airway pressure, therapy.
The Company expects to announce additional data with respect to the trial as further analyses are conducted and seeks to publish the full data set from the trial in a peer-reviewed publication. There will be no additional enrollment in the BETTER SLEEP trial. However, the Company will continue to monitor patients in the evaluable patient population and plan to continue evaluating over the course of three years following implantation.
The data generated from this study were used to expand the Company’s CE mark for the Genio® system to treat patients demonstrating CCC at the soft palate level, and the first commercial Genio® implants occurred in CCC patients in Germany during the first quarter of 2022.
ACCCESS U.S. IDE STUDY SEEKING APPROVAL TO TREAT CCC PATIENTS
In the United States, supported by the BETTER SLEEP study data, the FDA in September 2021 granted Breakthrough Device Designation for the Genio® system in order to shorten the approval path to treat CCC patients. Following a series of sprint discussions with the FDA regarding the design of a trial called ACCCESS to assess the safety and efficacy of the Genio® system on CCC patients, the FDA approved the Company’s IDE application in July 2022.
In this study, Nyxoah will implant up to 106 patients across up to 40 implant sites with co-primary efficacy endpoints of AHI responder rate, per the Sher criteria, and ODI responder rate, both assessed at 12 months post-implant. The clinical sites are being activated and the study is enrolling.
B. | EUROPEAN COMMERCIALIZATION |
During the first quarter of 2024, Nyxoah recognized total revenue of €1.2 million, primarily in Germany. After securing DRG reimbursement in Germany during the first quarter of 2021, Nyxoah built and expanded its German commercial organization to a total of 14 full time employees.
Nyxoah’s commercial strategy is focused on creating a Center of Excellence ecosystem, with a high level of clinical expertise between implanting ENT surgeons and sleep physicians who are able to provide more treatment options to their large patient pools. As of 31 March 2024, the Company has activated 51 Tier 1 sites across Germany.
The Company has also focused on entering new European markets. The Company has secured DRG reimbursement in Switzerland, state reimbursement in Austria, and is awaiting reimbursement decisions in several other countries. Nyxoah has also generated revenue in Switzerland, Austria, Spain and Italy and the Company expects to expand into other European countries.
Revenue was €1.2 million for the three months ending March 31, 2024, compared to €441,000 for the three months ending March 31, 2023 with strong acceleration in Q1 2024.
Cost of goods sold was €455,000 for the three months ending March 31, 2024, compared to 175,000 cost for the three months ending March 31, 2023.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by €421,000 or 7.6% from €5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to €6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, mainly due to an increase of costs to support the commercialization of Genio® system in Europe and scale up of the Company.
Before capitalization of €2.2 million of for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and €2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, research and development expenses increased by €491,000 or 5.5 % , from €8.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, to €9.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, due to the combined effect of higher manufacturing and R&D activities and clinical expenses. This increase is mainly in staff and consulting costs and in manufacturing and outsourced development to support those activities, this increase was partly offset by a decrease in clinical study activities due to Dream Study.
Nyxoah realised a net positive financial result of €417,000 for the three months ending March 31, 2024 primarily driven by the exchange rate appreciation of dollar versus euro. This compares to a net negative financial result of €333,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Nyxoah realized a net loss of €11.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to a net loss of €11.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023
Cash and cash equivalents
On March 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents and financial assets totalled €44.3 million, compared to €57.7 million on December 31, 2023. The decrease in financial assets is due to the use of proceeds from sale of term deposits to support operating activities.
The Company expects to continue ramping up sales in Germany as well as in other European countries where we are already present.
In the US, the Company plans to file the fourth and final module in the modular PMA application during the second quarter of 2024, continue to enroll the ACCCESS IDE study for CCC patients and prepare to enter the US market with regulatory, manufacturing, commercial, and market access readiness.
We refer to the description of risk factors in the Company's 2023 annual report, pp. 65-86. In summary, the principal risks and uncertainties faced by us relate to our financial situation and need for additional capital, clinical development of our product candidates, commercialization and reimbursement of our product candidates, our dependence on third parties and on key personnel, the markets and countries in which we operate, the manufacturing of our product candidates, legal and regulatory compliance matters, our intellectual property, our organization and operations.

Nyxoah SA
Notes to the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial information
Nyxoah SA (the “Company”) is a public listed company with limited liability (naamloze vennootschap/société anonyme) incorporated and operating under the laws of Belgium and is domiciled in Belgium. The Company is registered with the legal entities register (Brabant Walloon) under enterprise number 0817.149.675. The Company’s registered office is in Rue Edouard Belin 12, 1435 Mont-Saint-Guibert, Belgium.
The Company is a medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative solutions to treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea, or OSA. Our lead solution is the Genio® system, a CE-Marked, patient-centric, minimally invasive, next generation hypoglossal neurostimulations therapy for OSA. OSA is the world’s most common sleep disordered breathing condition and is associated with increased mortality risk and comorbidities including cardiovascular diseases, depression and stroke.
The Genio® system is the first neurostimulation system for the treatment of OSA to include a battery-free and leadless neurostimulator capable of delivering bilateral hypoglossal nerve stimulation to keep the upper airway open. The product is intended to be used as a second-line therapy to treat moderate to severe OSA patients who have either not tolerated, failed or refused conventional therapy, including Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, or CPAP, which, despite its proven efficacy, is associated with many limitations, meaning compliance is a serious challenge. In addition, other second-line treatments are more suitable to treat mild to moderate OSA (such as oral devices) or highly invasive. Compared to other hypoglossal nerve stimulation technologies for the treatment of OSA, the Genio® system is a disruptive, differentiating technology that targets a clear unmet medical need thanks to its minimally invasive and quick implantation technique, its external battery and its ability to stimulate the two branches of the hypoglossal nerve.
Obstructive sleep apnea is the world’s most common sleep disordered breathing condition. OSA occurs when the throat and tongue muscles and soft tissues relax and collapse. It makes a person stop breathing during sleep, while the airway repeatedly becomes partially (hypopnea) or completely (apnea) blocked, limiting the amount of air that reaches the lungs. During an episode of apnea or hypopnea, the patient’s oxygen level drops, which leads to sleep interruptions.
Nyxoah SA has four wholly owned subsidiaries: Nyxoah Ltd, a subsidiary of the Company since October 21, 2009 (located in Israel and incorporated on January 10, 2008 under the name M.L.G. Madaf G. Ltd), Nyxoah Pty Ltd since February 1, 2017 (located in Australia) and Nyxoah Inc. since May 14, 2020 (located in the USA) and Nyxoah GmbH since July 26, 2023 (located in Germany).
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Nyxoah SA and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Group) as of March 31, 2024 and for the three months ended March 31, 2024, have been authorized for issue on May 14, 2024 by the Board of Directors of the Company.
| 2. | Significant accounting policies |
Basis of Preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements
The Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 – Interim Financial Reporting (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and as endorsed by the European Union. They do not include all the information required for complete annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2023. In order to be consistent with the current period’s presentation, an immaterial correction has been made to certain comparatives on the face of the consolidated statement of financial position. Accrued expenses of € 1.9 million have been reclassified from Other payables to Trade payables since these balances are similar in nature to Invoices to be received that are already presented as Trade payables. We refer to note 18 and 20.
Except for the application of standards, interpretations and amendments being mandatory as of January 1, 2024, the accounting policies used for the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used for the preparation of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of Euros (€) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousands, except when otherwise indicated (e.g. € million).
The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, are areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements. The critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Going concern principle
The Company has consistently operated with deficits and sustained negative cash flows since its inception as a result of the significant research and development expenses incurred for the development and regulatory approval of the Genio device. As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s statement of financial position includes an accumulated loss of € 172.6 million and total assets of €113.0 million. Current assets as of March 31, 2024 total € 55.1 million, comprising €22.1 million in available cash and cash equivalents, and € 22.2 million in marketable securities, primarily derived from previous public offerings.
The Company’s current operating plan indicates that it will continue to incur losses from operations and generate negative cash flows from operating activities given ongoing expenditures related to the completion of its clinical trials only partially offset by the Company’s revenue generating activities outside the U.S., these were €1.2 million in the first quarter of 2024 in the EU. Substantial revenue generation is expected to start following the launch of the Genio product in the U.S., which is dependent on obtaining marketing authorization in the United States for the Genio product from the FDA.
The Company projects that its existing cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities should be sufficient to fund operations until the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2024. To meet the Company’s future working capital needs, management is actively exploring different financing avenues, including the public or private issuance of equity and debt financing. Additional funds are pivotal for diverse activities, in particular to launch the Genio product in the U.S. and the ongoing progression of research and development projects. This raises, however, a material uncertainty in respect of going concern as the current funds are not sufficient to cover a period of 12 months as from the date these financials are authorized for issuance.
Although the additional funds have not been raised yet, given the positive outcome from the DREAM trial, the Company is confident that raising sufficient funding to continue its operations for at least 12 months following the date these financials are authorized for issuance should not pose significant challenges.
The Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
New and amended standards and interpretations applicable
Effective for the annual periods beginning on January 1, 2024
The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
Several amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2024, but do not have an impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company:
| - | Amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures : Supplier Finance Arrangements (applicable for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024) |
| - | Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases: Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback (applicable for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024) |
| - | Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and Non-current Liabilities with Covenants (applicable for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024) |
| 3. | Critical accounting estimates and assumptions |
The preparation of interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that may significantly affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the end of the reporting period.
Refer to the disclosure note 5 from the Group’s 2023 year-end consolidated financial statements for further details about the main critical accounting estimates and assumptions.
Based on the organizational structure, as well as the nature of financial information available and reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision makers to assess performance and make decisions about resource allocations, the Company has concluded that its total operations represent one reportable segment. The chief operating decision maker is the CEO.
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other receivables, other current assets and financial assets approximate their value due to their short-term character.
The carrying value of current liabilities approximates their fair value due to the short-term character of these instruments. The fair value of non-current liabilities (financial debt and other non-current liabilities), excluding the derivative financial liabilities, is evaluated based on their interest rates and maturity date. These instruments have fixed interest rates and their fair value measurements are subject to changes in interest rates. The fair value measurement is classified as level 3.
The derivative financial liabilities and assets which consist of foreign currency swaps are measured at fair value through profit and loss. Fair value is determined by the financial institution and is based on foreign currency swap rates and the maturity of the instrument.

On March 24, 2023, the Company reduced the exercise price of 75% of the warrants previously granted to warrant holders under the 2021 Warrants Plan to 5.42 EUR to reflect the decrease in the company’s share price. For the remaining 25% of the warrants previously granted under the 2021 Warrants Plan, the exercise price will remain unchanged. All other terms and conditions of the re-priced warrants remain unchanged to the original option agreement. The Company determined the fair value of the options at the date of the modification (March 24, 2023). The incremental fair value of the re-priced warrants will be recognised as an expense over the period from the modification date to the end of the vesting period. For the warrants already vested at the date of modification, the incremental fair value is fully recognised in P&L at date of modification. The expense for the original option grant will continue to be recognised as if the terms had not been modified.
The fair value of the modified warrants was determined using the same models and principles as described above, with the following model inputs:

Total Trade payables | | | 7 316 | | | | 8 108 | |
The decrease in total trade payables of €0.8 million as at March 31, 2024 is due to a decrease in trade payables of €0.9 million which is partly compensated by an increase in invoices to be received of €128,000.
In order to be consistent with the current period’s presentation, an immaterial correction has been made to certain comparatives on the face of the consolidated statement of financial position. Accrued expenses of € 1.9 million have been reclassified from Other payables to Trade payables as at December 31, 2023 since these balances are similar in nature to Invoices to be received that are already presented as Trade payables. We refer to note 2 and 20.

Deferred tax income/(expense) | | | 3 | | | | 5 | |
Total Income Tax Income/(Expense) | | | (110 | ) | | | (182 | ) |
The current tax expense mainly relates to (i) an increase of income tax payable or taxes reimbursed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries for an amount of € 48,000 (2023: €139,000), and (ii) an additional accrual of the liability for uncertain tax positions for an amount of €140,000 (2023: €48,000) which is partly offset by (iii) an increase in deferred tax asset positions by €75,000 in certain of the Company’s subsidiaries as a result of R&D tax credits. The uncertain tax position was recorded following certain public rulings and guidance issued by tax authorities in one of the jurisdictions that the Company operates in. The current tax liability of €2.1 million mainly relates to a liability for uncertain tax positions for an amount of €2.0 million.

Total other payables | | | 3 370 | | | | 3 132 | |
The increase of €238,000 in other payables as at March 31, 2024, is mainly due to an increase by €187,000 in accrued expenses and an increase by €87,000 in the fair value of the foreign currency swaps. We refer to note 21. The increase is partly offset by a decrease of €163,000 in payroll related liabilities.
In order to be consistent with the current period’s presentation, an immaterial correction has been made to certain comparatives on the face of the consolidated statement of financial position. Accrued expenses of € 1.9 million have been reclassified from Other payables to Trade payables as at December 31, 2023 since these balances are similar in nature to Invoices to be received that are already presented as Trade payables. We refer to note 2 and 18.
The Company is exposed to currency risk primarily due to the expected future USD, AUD and NIS expenses that will be incurred as part of the ongoing and planned marketing, clinical trials and other related expenses. A financial risk management policy has been approved to i) generate yields on liquidity and ii) reduce the exposure to currency fluctuations with a timeline up to 24 months and by means of foreign currency swaps.
The Company has entered into several foreign currency swaps for which the notional amounts are detailed in the table below:

Revenue and cost of goods sold
In the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company generated revenue for the amount of €1.2 million (2023: €441,000).
Revenue is recognized at a point in time upon satisfaction of the performance obligation, being the moment control over the Genio® system is transferred to the customer, which is in general at delivery at customer site or a predefined location in the country of the customer. For certain customers, control may be transferred upon shipment to the customer in case the incoterms are Ex-Works. The revenue from the Genio® system consists of a kit of products delivered at the same point in time, and as such revenue does not need to be allocated over the different products. The revenue is then recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange of the Genio® system. In determining the transaction price for the sale of the Genio® system, the Company considers the effects of variable consideration.
For the three month period ended March 31, 2024 the sales (based on country of customer) were generated in Germany (€0.9 million), Switzerland (€210,000), Spain (€48,000) and Italy (€46,000) (2023: Germany: €306,000, Austria: €41,000 and Switzerland €94,000). For the three month period ended March 31, 2024, the Company has three customers with individual sales larger than 10% of the total revenue (2023: two customers).
