"2021 was a highly productive and transformative year for CollPlant's R&D and business development activities. We started the year by entering into a development and commercialization agreement with Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie company, and later signed a co-development agreement with 3D Systems for a 3D regenerative soft tissue matrix intended for breast reconstruction," said Yehiel Tal, CollPlant's Chief Executive Officer.  "We also commercially launched Collink.3D™, a BioInk platform that enables high-fidelity bioprinting of tissues, organs and tissue models for drug discovery and high throughput screening for personalized medicine applications. Recently, we signed a collaboration agreement with CELLINK, a BICO company, to explore the development of large-scale production of our 3D bioprinted regenerative breast implants."

"The year ahead has anticipated development milestones for some of our leading programs, including the start of a large animal study in Q2 for our 3D bioprinted regenerative breast implant program which uses key insights from preclinical studies completed to date. We are also making continued progress with the development of BioInks for 3D bioprinting applications, and with development of a photocurable dermal filler. Furthermore, we have commenced activities to establish a U.S.-based 3D bioprinting center of excellence which is planned to be operating in early 2023" concluded Yehiel Tal.

Recent Corporate Highlights

  • CollPlant is planning to initiate a large animal study for its 3D bioprinted regenerative breast implant program, aiming to address an estimated $2.8 billion market, with 2.2 million procedures performed annually worldwide.
  • CollPlant signed a collaboration agreement in February 2022 with CELLINK, under which CELLINK's high-throughput, multi-material bioprinter will be explored for the development of large-scale production of CollPlant's regenerative breast implants.
  • In November 2021, CollPlant announced the commercial launch of Collink.3D, a BioInk platform. To date, the Company has fulfilled several business orders.  Collink.3D enables the production of scaffolds that accurately mimic the physical properties of human tissues and organs, with improved bio-functionality, safety and reproducibility.

Year ended December 31, 2021 financial results

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term deposits as of December 31, 2021, were $43.3 million (excluding restricted cash).

GAAP revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021, was $15.6 million, an increase of 156% compared to $6.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2020. Revenue in 2021 included a $14 million upfront payment received from AbbVie.

GAAP gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $13.6 million, an increase of 339% compared to gross profit of $3.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2020.

GAAP operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021, were $13.6 million, compared to $8.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2020.

GAAP financial income, net for the year ended December 31, 2021 totaled $172,000 compared to financial expenses, net of $175,000 in the year ended December 31, 2020. Financial income net is mainly attributed to interest received from the Company's short term cash deposits.

The increase is mainly attributed to the Company's registered direct offering in February 2021, which amounted to $31.8 million in net proceeds, and to $6 million from exercise of warrants.
