Inventiva 1H22: Improved cash position and delays in clinical trial readout

Yesterday, Inventiva announced its 1H22 results and a deal with Sinopharm. The financial results were mostly announced in previous communications and had no major surprises, the company has a cash position of € 76.4 m at the end of the semester can draw on a variety of dilutive and non-dilutive funding mechanisms. Importantly, the deal with Sinopharm can bring an additional $ 17 m to the table ($12 m today, $5 m if near term clinical endpoints are met) and allows to draw on the first part of a € 25 m EIB facility. However, the 1H results also revealed delays in ongoing clinical trials of Lanifibranor. That being stated, we believe in the long term potential of Lanifibranor and Cedirogant and thus, re-iterate our Buy rating and €20 PT.
