  • 2 October: The Company carried out a directed share issue of SEK 65.9m to strategic and qualified investors to finance an accelerated growth strategy.

COMMENTS BY THE CEO

As explained in my previous interim report, we expected subdued sales for this quarter due to lack of completed units available from inventory following our strategic decision to stop production at UFAB for the OXE200 series and move the facility to the US, where production will commence in January 2021. Sales amounted to SEK 3.4m (SEK 23.3m) for Q3 whilst gross profit amounted to SEK 0.8m (SEK 2.8m) with a gross margin of 24% (12%). In the meantime, the company increased its order book by 77% to SEK 101m at the end of Q3- see bar chart below in respect to order book development during the last twelve months.

The Company has monitored performances of its distributors and have identified poor performers or territories that have suffered from the COVID19 lockdown and have taken appropriate actions to mitigate losses by transferring units held in stock by those distributors/dealers to distributors/end customers in other territories that require our product. This does not equate to new sales but will help with our recoverable in accounts receivables. Nevertheless, we have prudently made provisions for bad debts due of around SEK 2.7m. We are continuing such actions in Q4 and therefore should expect similar or lower revenues for Q4.

Our strategic decision of moving the OXE200 production away from UFAB is well underway and it was announced recently that the chosen facility is based in Albany, Georgia in the south east of the US with Outboard Network Manufacturing (ONM) as our assembly partner. Our parts have now been shipped from Sweden and we expect to start production in January 2021.

Our preparation for series production of the OXE300 with our assembly partner, PanLink, with its operations in Poland, is going according to plan. We have built a number of pre-series in Ängelholm and continued with extensive durability testing. We have made further improvements to the product and have updated our supply chain with these improvements. We are now aligning delivery of parts to Poland and expect to start series production in Q1 2021. The Company successfully concluded the certification run for EPA and IMO emission test and recently received the certificates for these.

We continued with our collaboration with BMW through a co-branding initiative for the OXE300, which is powered by BMW’s 6 cylinder bi-turbo 3 litre engine. Additionally, the Company entered into a preliminary development agreement to assess BMW’s 4-cylinder two litre turbo diesel engine for marine application – to power its next generation OXE200 series. The Company also entered into a cooperation agreement with Evoy A/S to assess the viability and marketability of a high-powered electric outboard.

The Company awarded Parsun, the largest Chinese engine outboard manufacturer, the mainland China distribution rights for our products. The initial batch of OXE200 engines was sold during the quarter. The company also achieved its first commercial order from the US Coast Guard (“USCG”) for the OXE200s, after three years of validation and testing. The USCG has a significant fleet, running in the hundreds that will require repowering. We also sold units to the Russian Rescue Service and expect more orders in due course.

Finally, at the end of the quarter, we awarded the Distribution rights of our products for Florida and US Gulf Coast territory to ODN, which was secured through an initial order worth EUR 2.8 million. The territory represents the largest outboard market in the world – approximately 25% of global high- powered outboard sales are generated from this region.

During the quarter, the Company began trading its shares on the OTC platform (OTCQX: CMMCF), which would allow US investors to trade in our shares, given that over half of the Company’s Revenues will be generated in the US – this platform should also improve liquidity of share trading as well as diversify our shareholder base. In September, the Company was promoted to the OTCQX, OTC’s market’s top tier platform – this should encourage further liquidity and visibility to US retail investors.

Following the end of the quarter, the Company raised SEK 65.9m from a directed share issuance to strategic and qualified investors to finance our accelerated growth strategy. I am grateful for the continued support by our shareholders and various stakeholders.

The Board and Management remain confident of the future and look forward to growing the business in a sustainable and profitable manner.

10kW+ Laser Cutting Machine Made a Sales Record of 260 Sets, Bodor Laser Constantly Surprises the Market

SHANDONG, China, Nov. 24, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The spring of 2020 is different. A sudden epidemic has stopped us from all kinds of progress. The world is shrouded in the haze of the epidemic, and the COVID-19 epidemic has become a matter of concern to everyone. There is no doubt that the outbreak of this epidemic has brought a great blow to the world economy. In this context, “high efficiency” has become the overall demand of manufacturing and processing in several major industries such as heavy machinery, urban rail transit, high-speed rail and new energy etc. 

With its excellent performance, 10kW+ laser cutting machine has gradually become the darling of the market and has been adopted by the majority of metal processing enterprises. As one of the fastest-growing companies in the laser industry, Bodor Laser has also taken part in this activity. Bodor Laser’s 10kW+ products have become a representative of new productivity in the field of laser cutting by virtue of wider and deeper processing range, stronger cutting ability and higher processing efficiency. Since the Bodor laser 10kW+ laser cutting machine was put into the market, it has repeatedly created industry sales miracles.

Until the beginning of November 2020, the sales volume of Bodor Laser 10kW products have achieved 260 units, the sales of 20kW have exceeded 20 units, the 30kW equipment has reached the world’s first batch of contracts, and the world’s first 40kW laser cutting machine has achieved its world premiere at the same time.

On September 4th, the Bodor Laser’s 40kW ultra-high power fiber laser cutting machine made its global debut at the Bodor Laser Innovation and Research Center, in order to define the future pioneering posture and achieve a new high point in the laser cutting industry.

40kW can make laser cutting technology improve a big step as a whole, break more limitations of laser cutting processing, and make laser processing have a more extensive use scene. On the premise of improving the processing quality, the processing efficiency of 10kW fiber laser cutting has also been doubled, allowing end users to complete more business volume in the same time. In addition, the overall processing cost has also been greatly reduced, allowing terminal sheet metal processing users to reduce costs and generate income.

Now, the world’s first 40kW laser cutting machine has been unveiled, redefining laser cutting. Bodor Laser will take the 40kW global debut as the starting point, start a new round of technological revolution, provide better services for customers and create more and greater value for global metal processing enterprises.

(Note: Bodor Laser’s global sales and service network provides services for 150 countries on 6 continents)

DBV Technologies Announces Leadership Changes

Montrouge, France, November 24, 2020

DBV Technologies Announces Leadership Changes

DBV Technologies (Euronext: DBV – ISIN: FR0010417345 – Nasdaq Stock Market: DBVT), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced that Dr. Hugh Sampson has decided to step down from his role as Chief Scientific Officer (CSO) at DBV, effective December 1, 2020, to return to his research program at the Jaffe Food Allergy Institute at Mount Sinai. While acting as CSO, Dr. Sampson continued his commitment to the food allergy community by directing his research lab, running a NIH-sponsored prevention trial, and seeing patients in clinical practice part-time.

Dr. Sampson will take on a new role as Scientific Adviser to the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of DBV’s Scientific Advisory Board. In this capacity, he will remain involved in DBV’s ongoing development of epicutaneous immunotherapy (EPIT™).

After three years serving on DBV’s Scientific Advisory Board, Dr. Sampson joined DBV in 2015 to formally lead the Company’s global scientific efforts and explore potential new applications of investigational Viaskin™ for the treatment of food allergies and autoimmune disorders, and for the development of novel vaccines.

We’re honored that he has contributed his remarkable expertise to advancing the Viaskin™ platform and shaping the scientific approach to our potential food allergy treatments. Today’s announcement is part of a thoughtful transition process, and we are grateful that he will continue to be an integral part of our team in his new role,” said Daniel Tassé, DBV’s Chief Executive Officer. “I’d like to thank Hugh for his commitment to our pursuit of improving patient outcomes and his ongoing, steadfast leadership.”

“I have always been impressed by the dedication and energy of everyone at DBV, and it has been an honor for me to act as DBV’s Chief Scientific Officer for the past five years,” said Dr. Sampson. “I am proud of what DBV has accomplished in better understanding the biology of EPIT and its potential applications. Now is the right time for me to return to Mount Sinai and focus on my research programs in novel diagnostics and prevention of food allergy. We have worked with purpose to advance the potential behind the clinical profile of EPIT, and I am excited by the possibility that it may be a viable treatment option for millions of patients. I look forward to continuing to work with DBV to advance their efforts in my new capacity as Scientific Advisor to Daniel.”

About DBV Technologies

DBV Technologies is developing Viaskin™, an investigational proprietary technology platform with broad potential applications in immunotherapy.

Polyphor receives award of up to USD $3.3 million from Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to support clinical development of inhaled antibiotic murepavadin

  • Award will help to fund planned Phase Ib/IIa study of inhaled murepavadin, a novel class antibiotic for the treatment of chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in cystic fibrosis
  • Development program is currently jointly funded by Polyphor and the European Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) until end of planned Phase Ia study

ALLSCHWIL, Switzerland, Nov. 24, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Polyphor AG (SIX: POLN) today announced a funding agreement with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to advance clinical development of its novel class antibiotic, inhaled murepavadin, in cystic fibrosis (CF). Inhaled murepavadin is a highly potent and selective antibiotic against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, including multidrug resistant strains. CF is characterized by chronic bacterial infection and severe inflammation that lead to progressive deterioration in lung function.

Under the terms of the agreement, Polyphor will be awarded up to USD $3.3 million to fund a Phase Ib/IIa clinical trial of inhaled murepavadin, as a follow-up study to a Phase Ia study in healthy volunteers using eFlow® Technology nebulizer (PARI Pharma GmbH), which is planned to be initiated pending CTA (clinical trial application) approval. The Phase Ib/IIa trial in adults with CF, assessing safety and tolerability (both overall and local) of ascending doses of inhaled murepavadin, is planned to be initiated in Q4 2021 following completion of the Phase Ia study. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Therapeutics Development Network (TDN) will provide support for the overall clinical development path for inhaled murepavadin.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection is a leading cause of lung function decline in people with cystic fibrosis and our novel class antibiotic, inhaled murepavadin, has the potential to change the treatment paradigm transforming patients’ lives,” said Gokhan Batur, Chief Executive Officer of Polyphor. “This is Polyphor’s second award from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, whose support had made possible nearly every cystic fibrosis-specific drug available today. The award will further encourage clinical development of inhaled murepavadin, and we would like to thank the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for their trust and ongoing support.”

About inhaled murepavadin:

Polyphor’s inhaled murepavadin is currently being developed as a precision antibiotic specifically targeting chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa, for the treatment of these infections in people with CF. It is the first member of the Outer Membrane Protein Targeting Antibiotics (OMPTA), a novel class of antibiotics which was discovered by Polyphor and the University of Zurich and displays a unique mode of action. Based on the data of the inhaled murepavadin preclinical program suggesting significantly higher safety margins (at least 5-10 times) versus the intravenous formulation, Polyphor is planning to initiate the clinical development program. Until the end of the planned Phase Ia study the program is jointly funded by Polyphor and the European Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI). Inhaled murepavadin is also part of the iABC project, a Europe-wide program dedicated to the development of inhaled antibiotics run by a consortium of leading lung specialists and research institutions in various European countries. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation award will allow further development until the end of the Phase Ib/IIa study.

Infections remain a significant problem for people with CF who require novel treatment options, despite the availability of CFTR modulators. If approved for commercial use, inhaled murepavadin would be the first new class of antibiotics for Gram-negative pathogens in the last 50 years. It would also be potentially the first agent to target specifically Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria versus the current standard of care, broad spectrum inhaled antibiotics.

The effect of the restatements does not impact the Company’s ongoing operations or cash position.

The Company intends to file the Restated Documents on or before November 30, 2020, in conjunction with the filing of the financial statements for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020.

Targovax demonstrates encouraging survival data for ONCOS-102 in mesothelioma

An 18-month analysis shows that median Overall Survival (mOS) will be at least 18.2 months for first-line patients receiving ONCOS-102 plus chemotherapy, compared to mOS of 14.2 months or less in the chemotherapy-only control group

ONCOS-102-treated patients show broad and powerful immune activation, associated with better survival outcome

PR Newswire

OSLO, Norway, Nov. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Targovax ASA (OSE: TRVX), a clinical stage immuno-oncology company developing oncolytic viruses to target hard-to-treat solid tumors, today releases 18-month follow-up data from the randomized phase I/II trial of ONCOS-102 in combination with standard-of-care (SoC) chemotherapy in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM).

The study is an open-label, exploratory phase I/II trial adding ONCOS-102 to SoC chemotherapy (pemetrexed/cisplatin) in first- and second- (and later) line treatment of MPM to assess safety, immune activation and efficacy versus SoC only. In total, 31 patients have been included in the trial, with 20 patients in the experimental group receiving the ONCOS-102 and SoC combination (8 randomized in first-line), and 11 patients in the control group receiving SoC only (6 in first-line).

At the 18-month follow-up, more than half of the patients in the first-line ONCOS-102-treated group were still alive, and the mOS was not yet reached. Based on current survival data the mOS will be 18.2 months or longer. For the first-line SoC-only control group, less than half of the patients were alive, and mOS will be 14.2 months or less, which is similar to outcomes from previously reported trials where patients received the same chemotherapy treatment1. An analysis of all the first-line patients, including 3 experimental safety lead-in patients, shows similar results as the randomized first-line patients. The next survival analysis is planned in first half of 2021.

In June, it was reported that ONCOS-102 treatment induces broad and powerful immune activation in MPM, far beyond what is achieved with SoC alone. Importantly, this immune activation is associated with better survival outcomes at the 18-month analysis, indicating that the immunological activity of ONCOS-102 drives the observed clinical benefit.

The powerful immune activation generated by ONCOS-102 builds a strong rationale for combining ONCOS-102 with a checkpoint inhibitor in MPM. This combination could provide further clinical benefits in this indication. Targovax and Merck (known as MSD outside of the USA) are currently reviewing next steps for combining ONCOS-102 and pembrolizumab (Keytruda) in MPM. Recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the combination of ipilimumab and nivolumab (Yervoy and Opdivo) for the first-line treatment of MPM based on mOS of 18.1 months (Baas 2020), and this is expected to serve as a benchmark for further approvals.

Magnus Jäderberg, Chief Medical Officer of Targovax, said: “We are very pleased that overall survival in first-line patients, is tracking well in the ONCOS-102 treated group. We have already established in the current study that ONCOS-102 drives favorable remodeling of the tumor microenvironment, and we are now starting to see this immune activation translating into the encouraging improved survival outcomes in these 18-month results. This is exactly what we had hoped to see and prepares the way for combining ONCOS-102 with checkpoint inhibition.  The immune data suggest to us that survival outcomes in combination with Keytruda may be further improved from the results reported today.”

The first results from the trial were announced in January 2020 (see press release here), while immunological data and 12-month survival rate were reported in June 2020 (see press release here) and presented at the SITC annual meeting in November 2020 (see poster here).
