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 filed the fourth and final module of the modular premarket approval (PMA) application at the end of the second quarter 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.
2
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 nine months of 2024, Nyxoah recognized total revenue of €3.3 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.
The Company has also focused on entering new European markets. The Company has secured DRG reimbursement in Switzerland, state reimbursement in Austria, is part of SSDP (Specialised Services Devices Program) in UK, 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.
2. | FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS |
Revenue was €3.3 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2024, compared to €2.5 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2023.
Cost of goods sold was €1.2 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2024, compared to €0.9 million cost for the nine months ending September 30, 2023.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by €3.6 million or 21.4 % from €16.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to €20.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, mainly due to an increase of costs to support the commercialization of Genio® system in Europe, scale up of the Company and also due to higher maintenance cost of the ERP system. This increase was partly offset by decrease in insurance fees.

Before capitalization of €3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and €7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, research and development expenses increase by €76,000 or 0.29 %, from €26.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, to €26.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was mainly driven by higher R&D activities and clinical expenses mainly reflected in the line “Consulting and contractors’ fees” which were partially offset by lower manufacturing expenses, attributed to an increase in inventory value resulting from yield improvements.
Nyxoah realized a net negative financial result of €0.9 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2024 primarily driven by the exchange rate depreciation of dollar versus euro and by interest income related to term accounts. This compares to a net positive financial result of €0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Nyxoah realized a net loss of €42.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to a net loss of €32.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Cash and cash equivalents
On September 30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents and financial assets totalled €71.0 million, compared to €57.7 million on December 31, 2023. The increase in cash and cash equivalents resulted from net cash from financial activities of €54.1 million mainly due to capital increase and loan facility agreement with the European Investment Bank (“EIB”) and offset by net cash flows used in operating activities amounted to €37.0 million and in investing activities amounted to € 10.0 million.
3. | 2024 OUTLOOK |
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 has filed the fourth and final module of its modular PMA submission end of second quarter 2024 and anticipates FDA approval as either late 2024 or early 2025. Meanwhile, the Company prepares to enter the US market with regulatory, manufacturing, commercial, and market access readiness and continues to enrol in the ACCCESS study.
4. | RISK FACTORS |
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
1. | General 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), 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 September 30, 2024 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, have been authorized for issue on November 5, 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). 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 and the extension on the accounting policies of financial liabilities which are explained below, 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.

Financial liabilities
The EIB Finance agreement is a hybrid financial instrument consisting out of a host financial loan and 3 embedded derivatives. The EIR-method considers the transaction cost of the loan as well as the initial fair value of the non-closely related embedded derivatives that are separated from the host financial instrument. The prepayment option derivative held by the Company is considered as not closely related to the non-derivative host. The Synthetic Warrants issued in favor of EIB as well as the partial settlement option to settled in Warrants instead of in cash are considered to be embedded derivatives not closely related to the host financial instrument and are accounted for separately from the host contract. The Synthetic Warrants as well as the partial settlement option derivatives are however considered to be closely related to each other and are considered as one embedded derivative to be valued hereafter named Synthetic Warrants jointly. Synthetic Warrants are valued on basis of a binomial tree model and accounted for at fair value through P&L. The fair value of the Synthetic Warrants, which are not traded in an active market, is determined by management using valuation techniques which are dependent on inputs such as share prices, share volume, discount rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
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 Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared under the assumption of going concern. As of September 30, 2024, the Company held cash and cash equivalents totaling €28.7 million and financial assets amounting to €42.3 million. Based on projected cash flows for the remainder of 2024 and into 2025, which factor in substantial expenditures and cash outflows related to ongoing clinical trials, the continuation of key research and development initiatives, and the expansion of the Company's manufacturing capabilities, management believes this liquidity position is adequate to cover capital needs and sustain operations for at least 12 months from the date of authorization of these financial statements.
The Company confirms that despite the conflict between Israel and countries in the region, operations are continuing notably regarding R&D and production with no major impact and the assets are currently safeguarded. The Company is not suffering impact of this conflict.
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.
10
4. | Segment reporting |
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.
5. | Fair Value |
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 and the synthetic warrants, 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 sensitivity on the fair value measurements of the recoverable cash advances are further detailed in Note 18.
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.
The synthetic warrants are measured at fair value through profit and loss. The fair value is determined using a binomial tree with 240 monthly periods (20 years) and the following key unobservable input:
· | Volatility of 61.07%, estimated based on the median of the annualized 90-day standard deviation of daily volatility of Nasdaq stock prices over the period from September 2021 to September 2024. |
A 5% increase in volatility would result in an increase in fair value by €82,000, while a 5% decrease in volatility would result in a decrease in fair value by €94,000."
There were no changes in the Group’s valuation processes, valuation techniques, and types of inputs used in the fair value measurements during the period, except for the synthetic warrants. There were no transfers between level 1 and level 2 fair value measurements during the period and no transfers into or out of level 3 fair value measurements, except for the initial recognition and subsequent measurement of the synthetic warrants in level 3.

The Company continues to incur in 2024 development expenses with regard to the improved second-generation Genio® system and clinical trials to obtain additional regulatory approvals in certain countries or to be able to sell the Genio® System in certain countries. The total capitalized development expenses amounted to €3.7 million and €7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The total capitalization of intangible assets is less than the outflows reflected in the interim consolidated statements of cash flows due to the impact of a 2024 tax incentive amounting to €129,000. We refer to note 23 for more details.

10. | Other long-term receivables |
The other long-term receivables mainly consist of cash guarantees for an amount of €410,000 (2023: €167,000) and an R&D tax incentive in Belgium for an amount of €1.1 million (2023: €1.0 million) related to certain development activities and clinical trials. The Company recognizes the research and development incentive as a long-term receivable and as a deduction from the carrying amount of the (in)tangible asset.
The R&D tax incentive recorded as of September 30, 2024 pertains to investments made in 2022, 2023 and 2024 in both tangible and intangible assets. These incentives are expected to be received 5 years after the investments are made. However, following the Law of May 12, 2024 (Belgian Gazette May 29, 2024), the Belgian R&D tax credit regime has been amended. As of 2024, the R&D tax incentive will be refunded after 4 years instead of 5 years. The long-term receivable as of September 30, 2024, also includes an adjustment of the R&D tax incentive for investments made in 2023. For further details, refer to note 23.

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 as an expense at date of modification.
The fair value of the modified warrants was determined using the same models and principles as described above, with the following model inputs:

A sensitivity analysis of the carrying amount of recoverable cash advances has been done to assess the impact of a change in assumptions. The Company tested reasonable sensitivity to changes in revenue projections of +/- 25% and in the discount rates of +/- 25%. The table hereunder details the sensitivity results:
Fair Value of Liabilities (in EUR 000) | Variation of revenue projections | |||||||||||
Variation of discount rates * | -25% | 0% | 25% | |||||||||
-25% | 9 650 | 10 056 | 10 349 | |||||||||
0% | 8 772 | 9 252 | 9 602 | |||||||||
25% | 8 008 | 8 542 | 8 936 |
* A change of -25% in the discount rates implies that the discount rate used for the fixed part of the recoverable cash advances is 3.8% instead of 5% while the one used for the variable part is 9.4% instead of 12.5%.
An increase of 25% of revenue projections implies, if discount rates does not change, an increase of the expected liability as repayment of the liability is accelerated.
An increase of 25% of the discount rate decreases the expected liability if revenue projections remain unchanged.
Financial debt related to loan facility agreement and synthetic warrants agreement
On July 3, 2024 the Company has signed a €37.5 million loan facility agreement with the European Investment Bank (“EIB”). The agreement is backed by the European Commission’s InvestEU program. The Company plans to use the funding for research and development, and for scaling-up its manufacturing capacity to meet demand in Europe and the U.S. The €37.5 million facility is divided into three tranches: €10 million for the first tranche (“Tranche A”), €13.75 million for the second tranche (“Tranche B”) and €13.75 million for the third tranche (“Tranche C”). Disbursement under the various tranches is subject to certain conditions. Tranche A carries an annual 5% cash and 5% capitalized interest rate, and features a five-year bullet repayment schedule. The various tranches do not contain revenue or liquidity covenants.
The first tranche A for an amount of €10 million, was disbursed on July 26, 2024.
In connection with the loan facility agreement, and as a condition to drawdown thereunder, the Company also entered into a “synthetic warrant agreement” with the EIB. Under the synthetic warrant agreement, in consideration for the facility, in connection with each tranche of the facility, the EIB will be granted “synthetic warrants” with a duration of 20 years. The number and strike price of the synthetic warrants will be calculated based on tranche specific formulas provided for in the synthetic warrant agreement. The synthetic warrants can be exercised as of the maturity date of the relevant tranche of the facility or, in exceptional situations, earlier. Such synthetic warrants will entitle the EIB to receive from the Company a cash consideration equal to the 20-day volume weighted average price of a share in the Company on the stock exchange, reduced by the applicable strike price per synthetic warrant, and multiplied by the number of synthetic warrants that the EIB exercises. In connection with Tranche A, the EIB has been granted 468,384 synthetic warrants with a strike price of €8,54 that the EIB can exercise after the maturity of Tranche A (5 years) or, in exceptional situations, earlier.
Change in loan facility and synthetic warrants can be summarized as follows:

The decrease in total trade payables of €1.0 million as at September 30, 2024 is due to a decrease both of invoices to be received of €0.3 million and trade payables of €0.7 million.
In order to be consistent with the current period’s presentation, in the condensed consolidated financial statement as at March 31, 2024 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.

Total Income Tax Income/(Expense) | (173 | ) | 2 229 | (724 | ) | 1 119 |
The current tax expense mainly relates to (i) an additional accrual of the liability for uncertain tax positions for an amount of €401,000 (2023: €363,000), and (ii) an increase of income tax payable or taxes reimbursed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries for an amount of €360,000 (2023: €0.7 million). 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 €2.5 million mainly relates to a liability for uncertain tax positions for an amount of €2.3 million.
As of January 1, 2022, new tax regulations are in place in the US in which R&D expenses could no longer be deducted when incurred but instead they should be capitalized only for tax purposes and amortized over a 5 year period. A current tax liability as well as a deferred tax asset were recognized. This deferred tax asset was reversed as per December 31, 2022. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company finalized its R&D tax credit study and reached the conclusion that R&D expenses can be deducted when incurred. The R&D tax credit study concluded that taking into account that the research and development by the US subsidiary was done under the direction of the parent in Belgium and benefited Belgian parent’ business, the expenditures in the US should be deducted when incurred. As a result the current tax liability amounting to €2.2 million was reversed during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

The increase of €1.5 million in other payables as at September 30, 2024, compared to December 31, 2023, is mostly the result of an increase of €1.2 million in salary payable.
In order to be consistent with the current period’s presentation, in the condensed consolidated financial statement as at March 31, 2024 an immaterial correction has been made to certain comparatives on the face of the consolidated statement of financial position.

22. | Derivatives |
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.

Revenue and cost of goods sold
In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company generated revenue for the amount of €3.3 million (2023: €2.5 million). In the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company generated revenue for the amount of €1.3 million (2023: €1.0 million).
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 nine month period ended September 30, 2024 the sales (based on country of customer) were generated in Germany (€2.6 million), Switzerland (€490,000), Austria (€41,000), Spain (€72,000) and Italy (€46,000) (2023: Germany: €2.1 million, Switzerland: €324,000 Austria: €102,000 and Spain: €12,000). For the nine month period ended September 30, 2024, the Company has one customer with individual sales larger than 10% of the total revenue. This client contributed to the turnover for an amount of €0,5 million. (2023: one customer with contribution to the turnover of €284,000).
For the three month period ended September 30, 2024 the sales (based on country of customer) were generated in Germany (€1.0 million), Switzerland (€183,000) and Austria (€41,000) (2023: Germany: €0.7 million, Switzerland: €207,000, Austria: €20,000 and Italy: €12,000 ).
