Current report
We are committed to leveraging our track record of success as we progress with the development of treatments for rare and orphan diseases. In addition, we continuously work on the further development and enhancement of our ProCellEx technology. Accordingly, we are turning our focus to new, early-stage product candidates that treat indications for which there are high unmet needs in terms of efficacy and safety, including renal diseases. Treatments of interest will address both genetic and non-genetic diseases. We intend to use our ProCellEx platform and PEGylation capabilities, as well as other modalities such as small molecules and antibodies, to take advantage of highly innovative opportunities. We are also exploring novel platform technologies.
Current report
Our first product, Elelyso, an ERT for the treatment of patients with Gaucher disease, was first approved by the FDA in May 2012 and is now approved for marketing in 23 markets including Brazil, Israel and others. In June 2012, the CHMP issued a positive opinion regarding the benefit of Elelyso but did not immediately grant marketing authorization because of the ten-year market exclusivity granted to Vpriv in August 2010 for the same condition, which was extended for an additional two years, and expired in August 2022. We have granted the marketing rights to Elelyso globally, excluding Brazil, to Pfizer through an exclusive licensing agreement. We maintain the distribution rights to Elelyso in Brazil, where it is currently marketed as BioManguinhos alfataliglicerase, through the Brazil Agreement. In 2024, we generated $12.6 million from sales of Elelyso to Pfizer and $11.0 million from sales of BioManguinhos alfataliglicerase to the Brazilian MoH.
Current report
In March 2023, we initiated a phase I First-in-Human clinical trial of PRX-115. This study included 64 adult male and female subjects in a dose escalation design with eight sequential dosing cohorts, each composed of eight subjects (six active and two placebo) which is now complete. The results were announced in a poster presentation at the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Convergence 2024, held November 14-19, 2024 and are summarized in Item 1 of this annual report on Form 10-K. We are currently preparing for a phase II clinical trial of PRX-115 which we expect will commence in the second half of 2025.

Revenue Recognition
Current report
obligations with respect to Elfabrio and, as Elfabrio was approved in the United States and the European Union in May 2023, from the completion of the regulatory processes related to the review of the BLA and the MAA for Elfabrio by the FDA and EMA, respectively. As a result of the completion of the Fabry clinical program in 2023, we expect to generate minimal revenues from license and R&D services other than potential regulatory milestone payments.
Current report
Total decrease in research and developments expenses was $4.1 million, or 24%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in research and development expenses resulted primarily fromthe completion of our Fabry clinical program and the regulatory processes related to the BLA and MAA review of Elfabrio by the applicable regulatory agencies.
Current report
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $12.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $2.8 million, or 19%, from $15.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease resulted primarily froma decrease of $1.8 million in professional fees and of $1.0 million in salaries and related expenses.
Current report
Financial income, net was $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to financial expenses, net of $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The difference resulted primarily from a decrease of approximately $1.4 million in lower interest and related expenses due to the note conversions executed in 2023 and the September 2024 repayment in full of all the outstanding principal and interest payable under the 2024 Notes, as well as an increase in interest income, net of $0.7 million.
Current report
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we raised gross proceeds equal to approximately $3.8 million from the sale, in the aggregate, of 2,216,692 shares of our common stock under our ATM program. All such sales were completed during the quarter ended December 31, 2024. Subsequent to December 31, 2024, we sold, in the aggregate, an additional 1,223,935 shares of common stock under program generating gross proceeds equal to approximately $2.5 million. Such sales completed the ATM program. In addition, since December 31, 2024, we issued 908,000 shares of our common stock in connection with the exercise of warrants issued in 2020 generating proceeds equal to approximately $2.1 million. The warrants expired on March 11, 2025. Accordingly, no warrants remain outstanding.
Current report
Net cash provided by operations was $8.7 million for theyear ended December 31, 2024. The net income for theyear ended December 31, 2024 of $2.9 million was increased by a $0.7 million increase in accounts payable and accruals, a $2.3 million decrease in accounts receivable-trade and other assets, $3.3 million in share-based compensation and $1.3 million in depreciation, partially offset by a $2.2 million increase in inventories.
Current report
Net cash provided by investing activities for theyear ended December 31, 2024 was $4.2 million and consisted primarily of $20.4 million in proceeds from the sale of deposits partially offset by $15.0 million in bank deposits and a $1.3 million purchase of property and equipment.
Current report
Net cash used in financing activities for theyear ended December 31, 2024 was $16.8 million representing the $20.4 million payment of the outstanding principal under our 2024 Notes which matured in September 2024, partially offset by $3.6 million from the sale of common stock under our ATM program.
Current report
At December 31, 2024, there were warrants to purchase 13,439,712 shares outstanding at an exercise price equal to $2.36 per share. As of March 12, 2025, no warrants remain outstanding.
Current report
As the 2024 Notes were paid in full during theyear ended December 31,2024, we are no longer subject to the financial limitations related to such notes.

Previous report
We have licensed the rights to commercialize Elelyso worldwide (other than Brazil) to Pfizer, and in Brazil to Fiocruz, an arm of the Brazilian MoH. Elelyso is marketed as BioManguinhos alfataliglicerase in Brazil.
Previous report
Our strategy is to develop proprietary recombinant proteins designed to address high, unmet needs in the rare disease space that are therapeutically superior to existing recombinant proteins currently marketed for the same indications. Consistent with this strategy, we have a number of product candidates in varying stages of the clinical development process.
Previous report
On May 5, 2023, the EC announced that it had approved the MAA for Elfabrio and on May 9, 2023, the FDA announced that it had approved the BLA for Elfabrio, each for adult patients with a confirmed diagnosis of Fabry disease. Both approvals cover the 1 mg/kg every two weeks dosage. The EMA approval followed the February 2023 adoption of a positive opinion and recommendation of marketing authorization for Elfabrio by the CHMP. Elfabrio was approved by the FDA with a boxed warning for hypersensitivity reactions/anaphylaxis, consistent with Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT) class labeling, and Warnings/Precautions providing guidance on the signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity and infusion-associated reactions seen in the clinical studies as well as treatments to manage such events should they occur. The Warnings/Precautions for membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) alert prescribers to the possibility of MPGN and provide guidance for appropriate patient management. Overall, the FDA review team concluded that in the context of Fabry disease as a rare, serious disease with limited therapeutic options that may not be suitable to all individual patients, the benefit-risk of Elfabrio is favorable for the treatment of adults with confirmed Fabry disease.
Previous report
Elfabrio was the subject of a phase III clinical program studying the drug as a treatment of patients with Fabry disease, a rare, genetic lysosomal disorder. The phase III clinical program included three separate studies, theBALANCE study, theBRIDGE study and theBRIGHT study. The phase III clinical program analyzed two potential dosing regimens: 1 mg/kg every two weeks and 2 mg/kg every four weeks. In addition, the phase III clinical program included two extension studies in which subjects that participated in our phase I/II clinical trials and phase III clinical trials had the opportunity to enroll and continue to be treated with PRX-102. As of March 1, 2023, sponsorship of the two open label extension studies was transferred to Chiesi, which is now administering the extension studies. From time to time, and as Elfabrio is approved for marketing in different jurisdictions, participants withdraw from the open label extension studies. Some of the withdrawals transfer to a commercial setting, others withdraw for other reasons.
Previous report
The BLA for Elfabrio for the treatment of adult patients with Fabry disease was resubmitted to the FDA on November 9, 2022. An initial BLA for Elfabrio was submitted to the FDA on May 27, 2020 under the FDA’s Accelerated Approval pathway, but resulted in a CRL.
Previous report
The MAA was submitted to the EMA on February 7, 2022, after the October 8, 2021 meeting we held, together with Chiesi, with the Rapporteur and Co-Rapporteur of the EMA regarding PRX-102.
Previous report
The FDA publicly released the internal review documents for Elfabrio (pegunigalsidase alfa-iwxj) injection BLA 761161. These documents provide previously unavailable additional information regarding the basis for the FDA’s May 2023 approval decision. In particular, the FDA determined that substantial evidence of effectiveness for Elfabrio in Fabry patients was established with one adequate and well-controlled study with confirmatory evidence provided by theBALANCE study. The FDA review team also concluded that theBALANCE study met its primary efficacy endpoint, which assessed the annualized rate of change in eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) over 104 weeks. However, the FDA also determined that the results from theBALANCE study did not support a non-inferiority claim to the comparator product due to the lack of data to support the non-inferiority margin.

Revenues
Previous report
The transaction price is the consideration to which we expect to be entitled from the customer. The consideration promised in a contract with our customers may include fixed amounts and variable amounts. We estimate the variable consideration and includes it in the transaction price using the most likely outcome method, and only to the extent the variable consideration is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Prior to recognizing revenue from variable consideration, we use significant judgment to determine the probability of significant reversal of such revenue.
Previous report
We also generate revenues from the Chiesi Agreements. According to Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and all the related amendments, or ASC 606, a performance obligation is a promise to provide a distinct good or service or a series of distinct goods or services. Goods and services that are not distinct are bundled with other goods or services in the contract until a bundle of goods or services that is distinct is created. A good or service promised to a customer is distinct if the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer and the entity’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.
Previous report
We have identified two performance obligations in the Chiesi Agreements as follows: (1) the license and research and development services and (2) a contingent performance obligation regarding future manufacturing.
Previous report
We determined that the license together with the research and development services should be combined into a single performance obligation since Chiesi cannot benefit from the license without the research and development services. The research and development services are highly specialized and are dependent on the supply of the drug.
Previous report
The future manufacturing was contingent on regulatory approvals of the drug and we deem these services to be separately identifiable from other performance obligations in the contract. Manufacturing services post-regulatory approval are not interdependent or interrelated with the license and research and development services. Following the regulatory approvals for Elfabrio received in May 2023, we started recognizing revenue from manufacturing.
Previous report
The transaction price of the Chiesi Agreements was comprised of fixed consideration and variable consideration (capped research and development reimbursements). Under ASC 606, the consideration to which we would be entitled upon the
Previous report
achievement of contractual milestones, which are contingent upon the occurrence of future events, are a form of variable consideration. We estimate variable consideration using the most likely method. Amounts included in the transaction price are recognized only when it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenues will not occur. Prior to recognizing revenue from variable consideration, we use significant judgment to determine the probability of a significant reversal of such revenue. Following the approval of Elfabrio by the FDA, we received a milestone payment equal to $20.0 million.
Previous report
Since the customer benefits from the research and development services as the entity performs the service, revenue from granting the license and the research and development services is recognized over time using the cost-to-cost method.
Previous report
Revenue from additional research and development services ordered by Chiesi is recognized over time using the cost-to-cost method.
Previous report
Share-Based Compensation
Previous report
We measure share-based compensation cost for all share-based awards at the fair value on the grant date and recognition of share-based compensation over the related service period. The fair value of stock options is determined based on the number of shares granted and the price of our common stock, and calculated based on the Black-Scholes valuation model. For grants made to employees and non-employees, we recognize the fair value of the grant as expense over the service period using the accelerated method.
Previous report
The guidance requires companies to estimate the expected term of the option rather than simply using the contractual term of an option. Because of lack of sufficient data on past option exercises by employees, the expected term of the options could not be based on historic exercise patterns. Accordingly, we adopted the simplified method, according to which companies may calculate the expected term as the average between the vesting date and the expiration date, assuming the option was granted as a “plain vanilla” option.
Previous report
In performing the valuation, we assumed an expected 0% dividend yield in the previous years and in the next years. We do not have a dividend policy and given the lack of profitability, dividends are not expected in the foreseeable future, if
Previous report
at all. The guidance stipulates a number of factors that should be considered when estimating the expected volatility, including the implied volatility of traded options, historical volatility and the period that the shares of the company are being publicly traded.
Previous report
The risk-free interest rate used in the valuation of the options is based on the implied yield of U.S. federal reserve zero–coupon government bonds. The remaining term of the bonds used for each valuation was equal to the expected term of the grant. This methodology has been applied to all grants valued by us. The guidance requires the use of a risk–free interest rate based on the implied yield currently available on zero–coupon government issues of the country in whose currency the exercise price is expressed, with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the option being valued. This requirement has been applied for all grants valued as part of this report.
Previous report
Convertible Notes
Previous report
The outstanding convertible notes are accounted for using the guidance set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 815 requiring that we determine whether the embedded conversion option must be separated and accounted for separately. ASC 470-20 regarding debt with conversion and other options requires the issuer of a convertible debt instrument that may be settled in cash upon conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. Our Senior Secured 7.50% Convertible Notes Due 2021, or the 2021 Notes, were accounted for partially as liability and equity components of the instrument and partially as a debt host contract with an embedded derivative resulting from the conversion feature. The 2024 Notes were accounted for as a liability (debt) and equity component (conversion option) as the convertible notes may be settled wholly or partly in cash, at our option, when converted.
Previous report
Issuance costs regarding the issuance of the 2021 Notes, as well as the debt discount and debt issuance costs from the issuance of the 2024 Notes, were deferred and amortized over the applicable convertible notes period using the effective interest rate.
Previous report
On August 25, 2021, we completed the exchanges of a substantial majority of the 2021 Notes with certain institutional note holders, or the Exchanges. The Exchanges involved the exchange of an aggregate of $54.65 million principal amount of our outstanding 2021 Notes for an aggregate of $28.75 million principal amount of newly issued 2024 Notes, $25.90 million in cash, and approximately $1.1 million in cash representing accrued and unpaid interest through the closing date. The initial conversion rate for the 2024 Notes is 563.2216 shares of common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of 2024 Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $1.7755 per share of the common stock), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. This initial conversion price represents a premium of approximately 32.5% relative to the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE American on August 13, 2021. The Exchanges are described in greater detail in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements.
Previous report
For accounting purposes, as the terms of the 2021 Notes and the 2024 Notes are substantially different, the Exchanges were considered an extinguishment of debt. We allocated the fair value of the consideration transferred to the participating note holders between the 2021 Notes and their equity component based on the fair value of the liability component before the extinguishment, and the remainder was allocated to the equity component. As a result, we recognized a loss from extinguishment in the statement of operations equal to $0.8 million due to derecognition of the liability component and a reduction of stockholders’ equity of $12.2 million.
Previous report
As of December 31, 2023, a total of $20.4 million aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Notes were outstanding. In addition, as of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, none of the 2021 Notes were outstanding.
Previous report
resulted primarily from an increase of $14.1 million in sales of Elfabrio drug productto Chiesi, following the approvals by the FDA and the EMA of Elfabrio, an increase of $0.1 million in sales to Pfizer and of $0.9 million in sales to Brazil, resulting from timing differences.
Previous report
Total decrease in research and developments expenses was $12.2 million, or 42%, for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in research and development expenses resulted primarily from a $11.5 million decrease in subcontractor-related expenses in connection with our PRX-102 clinical trials, and a $0.8 million decrease in materials-related expenses.
Previous report
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $15.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of $3.3 million, or 28%, from $11.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase resulted primarily from an increase of approximately $2.3 million in one-time cash bonuses, share-based compensation and salary and salary-related expenses, as well as an increase of $0.3 million in travel, conferences and employee training expenses.
Previous report
Financial expense, net was $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of $0.5 million, or 36%, compared to financial expenses of $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to a decrease of $0.9 million in income related to exchange rates as well as an increase in our interest expenses of $0.7 million which was partially offset by a gain recognized due to conversions of a portion of the 2024 Notes of $0.4 million and a $0.6 million increase in interest income.
Previous report
During the year ended December 31, 2021, we raised gross proceeds equal to approximately $8.8 million from sales of common stock under our ATM program through the sale of 1,867,552 shares of our common stock. In addition, we raised gross proceeds of approximately $40.2 million from a public offering of our common stock before deducting the underwriting discount and estimated expenses of the offering. In connection with the offering, we issued 8,749,999 shares of our common stock at a purchase price per share of $4.60.
Previous report
On August 25, 2021, we completed Exchanges with institutional note holders of a substantial majority of the then outstanding 2021 Notes. The Exchanges involved the exchange of an aggregate of $54.65 million principal amount of 2021 Notes for an aggregate of $28.75 million principal amount of newly issued 2024 Notes, $25.90 million in cash and approximately $1.1 million in cash representing accrued and unpaid interest through the closing date. The initial conversion rate of the 2024 Notes is 563.2216 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2024 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $1.7755 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. This initial conversion price represents a premium of approximately 32.5% relative to the closing price of the common stock on the NYSE American on August 13, 2021. After giving effect to the Exchanges, $3.27 million aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes remained outstanding. On November 15, 2021, all of the then outstanding 2021 Notes matured and were paid in full.
Previous report
The 2024 Notes were issued pursuant to the 2024 Indenture which was entered into between us, the guarantors party thereto, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as collateral agent. Interest on the Notes are payable semi-annually at a rate of 7.50% per annum. The 2024 Notes will mature three years after the issuance thereof, unless earlier purchased, converted, exchanged or redeemed and will be guaranteed by our subsidiaries. The 2024 Notes are secured by perfected liens on all of our assets, including those of our subsidiaries.

Because our operations are conducted in the State of Israel, the business and operations may be directly affected by economic, political, geopolitical and military conditions in Israel. In October 2023, Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of attacks on civilian and military targets. Hamas also launched extensive rocket attacks on Israeli population and industrial centers located along Israel’s border with the Gaza Strip and in other areas within the State of Israel attacking a number of civilian and military targets while simultaneously launching extensive rocket attacks on the Israeli population and industrial centers. At the same time, clashes between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon have increased. In response, Israel’s security cabinet declared war against the Hamas and a military campaign against these terrorist organizations commenced in parallel to their continued rocket and terror attacks. Moreover, the attacks by Hamas and Hezbollah, and Israel’s defensive measures, may result in a greater regional conflict. It is currently not possible to predict the duration or severity of the ongoing conflict or its effects on our business, operations and financial conditions. The ongoing conflict is rapidly evolving and developing, and could disrupt certain of our business and operations, among others. As of the issuance of these financial statements, the impact of the war has not had a material adverse effect on our operations.

Moreover, the attacks by Hamas and Hezbollah, and Israel’s defensive measures, may result in a greater regional conflict. Since the outbreak of the war, other regional actors, including Iran, have taken military action against Israel. During January 2025, a ceasefire with Hamas was declared. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the war is ongoing and continues to evolve. The attacks by Hamas and Hezbollah, and Israel’s defensive measures, as well as actions that could be taken in the future by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom the European Union or Israel’s neighboring states and other countries have created global security concerns that may result in a greater or lasting regional conflict. We have elected to store manufactured drug substance in multiple locations, both within and outside of Israel, to mitigate the risk of loss due to the military operations. It is currently not possible to predict the duration or severity of the ongoing conflict or its effects on our business, operations and financial conditions. As of the issuance of these financial statements, the impact of the war has not had an adverse effect on our operations.

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate such estimates and judgments, including those described in greater detail below. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our primary sources of revenues include our sales of BioManguinhos alfataliglicerase in Brazil, of drug substance to Pfizer under our Amended Pfizer Agreement and of drug product to Chiesi under the Chiesi Agreements. We recognize revenue from selling goods at a point in time when control over the product is transferred to customers (upon delivery), at the net selling price, which reflects sales reserves for variable consideration, potential discounts, rebates and allowances. The sales reserve is calculated based on expected sales and the anticipated net average selling price.

We estimate the degree to which deferred tax assets will result in a benefit, after consideration of all positive and negative evidence, and provide a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets that we believe more likely than not will not be realized. In situations in which we are able to determine that our deferred tax assets will be realized, that determination generally relies on future reversals of taxable temporary differences and expected future taxable income. Significant judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we considered all available evidence, including past operating results, the most recent projections for taxable income, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. We reassess our valuation allowance periodically and if future evidence allows for a partial or full release of the valuation allowance, we reverse the related valuation allowance. The tax valuation allowance totaled approximately $56.0 million at December 31, 2023 (see Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information). Should our actual future taxable income by tax jurisdiction vary from estimates, additional allowances or reversals thereof may be necessary.

Significant judgment is required in evaluating our uncertain tax positions. In evaluating the exposure associated with our various tax filing positions, we record reserves for uncertain tax positions in accordance with U.S. GAAP based on the technical support for the positions and our past audit experience with similar positions. For those tax positions where it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, we record the largest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. We believe our tax positions comply with applicable tax laws and we intend to defend our positions, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcome of these matters will not be different from that which is reflected in our historical income tax reserves and accruals. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will impact the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made. The provision for income taxes includes the impact of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that are considered appropriate. Our liability for these unrecognized tax benefits totaled approximately $0.8 million at December 31, 2023 (see Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information).

We expect our research and development expenses to continue to be our primary expense in the future as we continue the advancement of our clinical trials and preclinical product development programs for our product candidates. The lengthy process of completing clinical trials and seeking regulatory approvals for our product candidates requires expenditure of substantial resources. Any failure or delay in completing clinical trials, or in obtaining regulatory approvals, could cause a delay in generating product revenue and cause our research and development expense to increase and, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our operations. Due to the factors set forth above, we are not able to estimate with any certainty when we would recognize any net cash inflows from our projects. See “Risk Factors—Clinical trials are very expensive, time-consuming and difficult to design and implement and may result in unforeseen costs, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.”
