(1)

Our assets, shareholders’ equity, other liabilities, cash flow generated / used (–) in operating activities and cash flow generated in financing activities for the period ended 30 September 2019 were influenced by the adoption of the new standard IFRS 16 – Leases, on 1 January 2019. We refer to the notes of this condensed consolidated interim financial report for additional information.

(2)

The operational cash burn (or operational cash flow if this performance measure is positive) is equal to the increase or decrease in our cash and cash equivalents (excluding the effect of exchange rate differences on cash and cash equivalents), minus:
(i)the net proceeds, if any, from share capital and share premium increases included in the net cash flows generated / used (–) in financing activities(ii)the net proceeds or cash used, if any, in acquisitions or disposals of businesses; and the movement in restricted cash, if any, included in the net cash flows generated / used (–) in investing activities.

 

This alternative performance measure is in our view an important metric for a biotech company in the development stage.
