Biocartis Announces Publication of 2022 Annual Report

Mechelen, Belgium, 11 April 2023 – Biocartis Group NV (the ‘Company’ or ‘Biocartis’), an innovative molecular diagnostics company (Euronext Brussels: BCART), today announces the publication of its 2022 annual report.

The 2022 annual report among others includes the consolidated financial statements and performance of Biocartis for the financial year ended on 31 December 2022. The report is available as a PDF and XBRL file and can be downloaded here from the website of the Company.

The audited consolidated financial statements include a presentation of the Company’s various recapitalization transactions which differs from the presentation included in the unaudited consolidated financial information published on 23 February 2023. This difference in accounting presentation mainly results from the recognition of the fair value of the new convertible bonds’ embedded conversion option and the transaction costs through the income statement, rather than directly through equity or as a deduction from liabilities. Consequently, the derecognition of the existing convertible bonds and the recognition of the new convertible bonds resulted in an accounting loss of EUR 7.3m, as opposed to an accounting gain of EUR 10.5m. The aforementioned difference in accounting treatment has no impact on the Company’s cash or on the principal amount of its financial obligations.
