Korneuburg, Austria, 22 November 2021 - Marinomed Biotech AG (VSE:MARI), an Austrian science-based biotech company with globally marketed therapeutics derived from innovative proprietary technology platforms, today reported the financial results for the first nine months 2021. Revenue increased by 12.9 % to € 5.7 million in the first three quarters of 2021 (9M 2020: € 5.1 million). In addition, governmental funding for the R&D activities and other income generated another € 1.4 million, resulting in a 21.2 % increase of the total income to € 7.1 million (9M 2020: € 5.9 million). Total R&D expenses for both platforms, Carragelose and Marinosolv, amounted to € 6.1 million (9M 2020: € 3.9 million), mainly due to additional clinical studies in SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, the loss for the first nine months 2021 was at € 6.3 million and fully in line with expectations (9M 2020: € 4.8 million).

"So far, 2021 has been very successful for our business. During the first nine months we continued to significantly advance the virus blocking Carragelose products. As of today, SARS-CoV-2 will remain a major public health threat, and additionally the common cold is making a strong predictable comeback. Increasing scientific evidence shows that our virus-blocker Carragelose is a safe and effective addition, along with vaccination, to controlling viral infections. Carragelose is an additional means of protection, easily available to everyone," said Dr. Andreas Grassauer, Marinomed's CEO. "After the reporting period, we finally were able to prove that we deliver on what we promised: In closing the first deal for a product from the Marinosolv platform with Luoxin Pharmaceutical, which will co-develop Budesolv for the Chinese markets, we finally reached a long-awaited milestone. Furthermore, we launched Solv4U, a new business area that makes our clinically proven Marinosolv platform available to partners from the healthcare sector. These are cornerstones on the path towards Marinomed's successful future."

Highlights in Q3 2021 and after the reporting period:

• 01 July: Encouraging topline data for the Phase II clinical trial of Tacrosolv in allergic rhinoconjunctivitis
• 06 July: Distribution of Corona virus blocker Carragelose expanded into Brazil and Mexico
• 15 July: Chinese patent granted covering the proprietary Marinosolv technology to generate aqueous solutions from insoluble compounds
• 25 August: Financial results for 1st half 2021 show significant revenue growth
• 9 September: Publication of clinical data on efficacy of Carragelose lozenges against respiratory viruses including SARS-CoV-2 in the International Journal of General Medicine

Financial results

"Our financial results for the first nine months 2021 clearly show that we are able to build on the unprecedented success that Carragelose achieved in the previous year due to outstanding data generated in the context of the pandemic. We re-confirm our expectation for Carragelose sales to still grow double-digit compared to our record year of 2020. Shortly after the reporting period, we were also able to secure the financing in an agreement with Nice & Green, adding financial flexibility to further advance our scientific and clinical programs," said Pascal Schmidt, Marinomed's CFO.
