Insights

Evogene's Q2 2024 results show promising financial improvements. Revenues for H1 2024 increased significantly to $5.1 million from $1.3 million in H1 2023, driven by licensing agreements and collaborations. The net loss decreased to $9.8 million in H1 2024 from $14.8 million in H1 2023, indicating improved operational efficiency.

The company's cash position of $20.9 million as of June 30, 2024, combined with $8.4 million in expected payments from Casterra's orders, provides a solid financial foundation. The projected 36% decrease in cash usage for 2024 (excluding Lavie Bio and Biomica) is a positive sign of cost management.

However, investors should note that Evogene is still operating at a loss and continued revenue growth will be important for long-term sustainability. The anticipated revenue increase in H2 2024, primarily from Casterra's seed orders, will be a key factor to monitor.

Evogene's subsidiaries are making notable progress in their respective fields. Casterra's success in securing a $440K order for castor seeds and completing a successful growing season in Brazil demonstrates market traction. The anticipated $8.4 million in seed orders for 2024 is a significant milestone.

Lavie Bio's expansion of Yalos™ bio-inoculant to winter wheat and progress in developing bio-stimulants for extreme weather conditions show promising advancements in ag-biologicals. The collaboration with ICL and the identification of novel microbial candidates highlight the potential of Evogene's AI-driven approach.

Biomica's positive Phase 1 results for BMC128 in combination with nivolumab for various cancers are encouraging, with 72% of patients exhibiting clinical benefits. This progress in microbiome-based therapeutics could open up significant opportunities in the pharmaceutical sector.

These developments across multiple subsidiaries validate Evogene's AI-driven strategy and diversified approach to life science product development.

  • We look forward to continuing to evaluate BMC128's beneficial activity in subsequent phases of clinical development.

Financial Highlights:

Cash Position: As of June 30, 2024, Evogene held consolidated cash, cash equivalents, and short-term bank deposits of approximately $20.9 million. This amount does not include $8.4 million of expected payments for the open purchase orders of Casterra. The consolidated cash usage during the second quarter of 2024 was approximately $5.7 million. Excluding Lavie Bio and Biomica, Evogene and its other subsidiaries used approximately $2.7 million in cash during the second quarter of 2024. Projected cash usage for 2024, excluding Lavie Bio and Biomica, is expected to be around $8.0 million, marking a notable 36% decrease from approximately $12.5 million in 2023.

Revenue: Revenues for the first half of 2024 were approximately $5.1 million, a significant increase from $1.3 million in the same period the previous year. This growth was primarily driven by revenues recognized from Lavie Bio's licensing agreement with Corteva and AgPlenus's new collaboration with Bayer. Revenues for the second quarter of 2024 were approximately $0.9 million, compared to approximately $0.7 million in the same period the previous year. The increase was mainly attributable to increased revenue in Lavie Bio.

Evogene anticipates continued revenue growth in the second half of 2024 compared to the previous year, mainly based on Casterra's forecast for seed-order supply.

R&D Expenses: Research and development expenses, net of non-refundable grants, for the first half of 2024 were approximately $8.8 million, a decrease from $10.2 million in the first half of 2023. The decrease in expenses is mainly due to the cease of Canonic's activities and a decrease in certain development expenses in Biomica as compared to the same period the previous year. Research and development expenses, net of non-refundable grants, for the second quarter of 2024 were approximately $4.0 million, and decreased significantly as compared to approximately $5.4 million in the same period in the previous year. The decrease is mainly attributable to decreased expenses in Canonic and Biomica, as mentioned above.  

Sales and Marketing Expenses: Sales and Marketing expenses for the first half of 2024 were approximately $1.9 million, a slight increase from approximately $1.7 million in the same period in the previous year. The increase is mainly attributable to increased sales and marketing activities in Casterra during the first half of 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023. Sales and Marketing expenses for the second quarter of 2024 were approximately $0.9 million and remained stable as compared to approximately $0.9 million in the same period in the previous year. 

General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses for the first half of 2024 decreased slightly to approximately $3.2 million from approximately $3.3 million in the same period last year. General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2024 decreased to approximately $1.5 million compared to approximately $1.8 million in the same period of the previous year, mainly due to decreased non-cash compensation and salary related expenses in Lavie Bio and Biomica, respectively, in the second quarter of 2024.

Other Expenses: The decision to cease Canonic's operations in the first half of 2024 resulted in other expenses of approximately $0.5 million, mainly due to impairment of fixed assets in the first quarter of 2024.

Operating Loss: The operating loss for the first half of 2024 was approximately $10.2 million, a significant decrease from approximately $14.7 million in the same period of the previous year, mainly due to increased revenues as mentioned above. The operating loss for the second quarter of 2024 was approximately $6.1 million, a decrease from $7.9 million in the same period of the previous year, mainly due to decreased operating expenses as mentioned above. 

Financing Income: Financing income, net for the first half of 2024 was $379 thousand, compared to financing expenses, net of $86 thousand in the same period of the previous year. This increase was primarily due to increased interest income and a revaluation of convertible SAFE. Financing income, net for the second quarter of 2024 was $138 thousand, compared to financing income, net of $144 thousand in the same period of the previous year.

Net Loss: The net loss for the first half of 2024 was approximately $9.8 million, compared to approximately $14.8 million in the same period last year. The $5.0 million decrease in net loss was primarily due to increased revenues, decreased operating expenses, partially offset by the one-time $0.5 million of other expenses, related to ceasing Canonic's operations and an increase in financial income. The net loss for the second quarter of 2024 was approximately $6.0 million, compared to approximately $7.8 million in the same period last year. The $1.8 million decrease in net loss was primarily due to decreased operating expenses as mentioned above.
