4SC AG: 4SC provides Q1 2021 update

Planegg-Martinsried (pta005/20.04.2021/07:30 UTC+2)

4SC AG (4SC, FSE Prime Standard: VSC) today published the Q1 Announcement 2021, presenting all material developments up to 31 March 2021 and the Company’s current outlook. The full communication is available for download on 4SC’s website.

Jason Loveridge, Ph.D., CEO of 4SC, commented: "Despite ongoing challenges due to the coronavirus pandemic and widespread government lockdowns, recruitment continued positively in the first quarter of 2021 across all of our studies, and especially in RESMAIN, where we expect to recruit all remaining patients in 2021.  Financially, the Company is also in a good position having sold our remaining royalty rights back to Immunic, generating significant additional non-dilutive financing, which provides us with additional runway into the second half of 2022.  As such, overall 4SC is well placed to execute on its business plan and generate important clinical data for both resminostat and domatinostat in the remainder of 2021."

Development of cash balance in Q1 2021 and financial forecast

As of 31 March 2021, 4SC holds cash balance/funds of €31.588 million as compared to €36.203 million as of 31 December 2020. The monthly use of cash from operations amounted to €1.538 million on average in the first quarter of 2021 (Q1 2020: €1.677 million) and was below the range of €2.2 million and €2.7 million forecast for 2021.

Taking into account the additional funds provided by the settlement agreement with Immunic, the Management Board of 4SC estimates that current funds should be sufficient to finance 4SC into the second half of 2022. In addition, the effects of the transaction with Immunic reduce the forecast monthly use of cash for the full year 2021 to a range of between €1,000 and €1,500 thousand.
