Fusion Antibodies plc (AIM: FAB), specialists in pre-clinical antibody discovery, engineering and supply for both therapeutic drug and diagnostic applications, announces that at the AGM due to be held at 11am today, the following statement from Simon Douglas, the Chair of Fusion Antibodies, will be read:

“During the current financial period, revenue growth has been consistent compared to the previous financial period and in line with our expectations. Customer enquiries for all of the Company’s services remain robust, and the OptiMAS^TM platform (incorporating RAMP^TM, the affinity maturation platform) has been a key element in securing new business.

“So far in the current financial year, Fusion has received a £150,000 milestone payment as a result of a humanised antibody project which was successfully commercialised by a key client. This was the first such payment received by the Company and is in line with our strategic objectives of unlocking the intrinsic value that our service offerings represent to our clients. As at 31 March 2021, the Company had an interest in fifteen client projects, six with fixed success payments and nine royalty agreements and we will seek to add more such arrangements in the future when warranted by the Company’s contribution to a client project.

“In August, we announced that we have entered into a commercial collaboration agreement (the “Collaboration”) with Eurofins Discovery, a leading provider of products and services to the drug discovery industry. Pursuant to the Collaboration, Fusion will provide comprehensive pre-clinical antibody development services from discovery, engineering, and critical reagent supply to Eurofins and onwards to their customers.

“The Company’s commitment to new R&D projects was maintained for this period and OptiMAL^TM (the Mammalian Antibody Library Discovery Platform) remains on track to deliver initial revenues in 2022.”
