Events after the end of the accounting period
At the beginning of 2025, the Group's capital preparedness was further strengthened by the establishment of loans and loan commitments of approx. DKK 13 million. Based on the expected cash burn for the year, this gives the Group a runway of more than 12 months.
The Group's capital preparedness is expected to be further strengthened on an ongoing basis in 2025 through the establishment of convertible loans or other equivalent financing. The company has an ongoing dialogue with several existing and new investors about financing in both the short and long term.
On 28 February 2025, Pharma Equity Group A/S announced in company announcement no. 1 that the current CEO, Thomas Kaas Selsø, will resign from his position as CEO of Pharma Equity Group A/S and its subsidiary Reponex Pharmaceuticals A/S with effect from 31 March 2025. At the same time, it was announced that Christian Henrik Tange has been appointed as the new CEO of Pharma Equity Group A/S with effect from 1 April 2025. It was also announced that Sebastian Bo Jakobsen has been appointed CEO of the subsidiary Reponex Pharmaceuticals A/S with effect from 1 April 2025.
Key figures for the year 2024
- The result for the year was DKK -24.4 million (2023: DKK -24.3 million).
- The costs in 2024 are relatively significantly below the level of 2023. In the consolidated result for 2024, costs covering the whole of 2024 are included, whereas for the comparison year 2023, due to the transaction with Reponex Pharmaceuticals A/S on 24 March 2023, only costs for 9 months are included.
- Equity as of 31 December 2024 is DKK 48.9 million (2023: DKK 25.3 million)

Strategy and expectations for 2025
On 13 December 2024, the Company announced in announcement number 32 that Reponex Pharmaceuticals A/S, based on an ongoing evaluation of the clinical pipeline and a number of fundamental commercial criteria, including medical need, patient recruitment, regulatory requirements, likelihood of success and requirements for both human and monetary capital, had chosen to give top priority to the following development programs:
- RNX-051 for colon adenomas and colon cancer
- RNX-011 for the treatment of peritonitis
- RNX-041 for the treatment of IBD (pouchitis)
The mentioned development programs have all shown relevant, informative and strong clinical data, and have obtained patent protection in the most important geographical areas for the company.
It is expected that license agreements will be entered into at the end of Q3 and Q4 2025. Approximately DKK 11 million in revenue before tax has been recognised in the consolidated budget for 2025. For 2025, the Group expects a pre-tax profit of DKK -4 million to DKK -7 mio.kr. including revenues from licensing agreements. The expected consolidated result for 2025 does not reflect any gains/losses related to the Portinho S.A. receivable.
The expected result for 2025 incorporates a significantly lower cost base than in both 2024 and 2023. The company has worked intensively to reduce costs, so that even more costs have been made variable in 2025 than before and so that the capital requirement in 2025 is significantly lower than in both 2024 and 2023. This has been done while maintaining the expected progression in the new studies.
Any questions regarding this announcement and the annual accounts for 2024 can be directed to either the company's CEO Thomas Kaas Selsø or Chairman of the Board Christian Vinding Thomsen, by email .
