- Revenues were EUR 40.2 million, down from the 2022 result of EUR 67.0 million which was positively impacted by exceptional upfront cash payments from partnerships.
- Product sales were EUR 18.7 million, up +19.3% vs EUR 15.7 million in 2022.
- ESTELLE® product sales reached EUR 10.4 million in 2023 beating the September 2023 guidance of EUR 8.5 million and up from EUR 9.2 million in 2022.
- Cash position, at EUR 9.0 million at end of 2023, is down compared to previous year (EUR 28.3 million end 2022).
- In an effort to maximize value for all of Mithra’s stakeholders, the Company has initiated a Monetization Process to realize value from its assets involving the sale of various selected assets, particularly Estetra SRL (which includes the US DONESTA® out-licensing process), and/or the business as a whole.
- The delay in the DONESTA® US NDA filing negatively impacted the process to consummate a US licensing agreement, also negatively impacting expected revenues.
- Triggered by the monetization process, management recognized an impairment loss of EUR 74.1 million on two of those assets (namely the Mithra CDMO and ZORELINE®). This accounting conclusion does not affect the management’s commitment to continue to find the best possible outcome for those assets. Due to these impairments (non-cash items), among other factors, the net loss for the period was EUR 173.5 million.
- Post-closing events include the 06 February 2024 announcement of Mithra’s cash position of EUR 6.5 million, the 15 February 2024 sale of balance of shares held in Mayne Pharma for approximately EUR8 million, the 05 March 2024 announcement of up to EUR 18.5 million bridge facility to initiate a monetization process of key Mithra assets, and the 05 March 2024 change of management announcement.

Note regarding basis of preparation: The consolidated financial results of Mithra Pharmaceuticals SA and its subsidiaries (“Mithra”) included in this release have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union. These include International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the related interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), effective at the reporting date and adopted by the European Union.
These consolidated financial results have been prepared on the basis of a going concern. However, as announced on 06 February 2024 and 05 March 2024, there are material uncertainties about Mithra’s ability to continue in operation beyond 30 April 2024. As of 07 March 2024, Mithra has approximately EUR 9.0 million in cash and cash equivalents including the first drawdown under the bridge facility. Its lenders have provided a committed bridge facility of up to EUR 13.5 million, plus an uncommitted “accordion” facility for a further EUR 5 million, in each case subject to milestones, as described in that 05 March 2024 press release, in order to fund a monetization process. However, as noted in that release there is a risk that Mithra will not be able to draw the full amount, for instance if it is not able to initiate a Monetization Process. Even if a Monetization Process is initiated, there is a material risk that that process will not be successful, in whole or in part, or may not significantly reduce Mithra’s existing indebtedness. If Mithra is not able to draw funds under the new bridge facility or is otherwise not able to raise or generate sufficient cash, this will adversely affect Mithra’s continued operations and ability to operate as a going concern.
