RAMAT GAN, ISRAEL - (November 12, 2020) – XTL Biopharmaceuticals Ltd. (NASDAQ: XTLB, TASE: XTLB.TA) (“XTL” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical Company, today announced financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

The Company is expanding its IP portfolio surrounding hCDR1 and has decided, at this time, to explore cooperation with a strategic partner in order to execute its clinical trials. In parallel, the Company will look to expand and identify additional assets to add to XTL’s portfolio.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 virus (hereafter, "Coronavirus") in the world in the first half of 2020 and its spread, causes great uncertainty in the world capital markets and major macroeconomic implications, which are characterized by sharp declines and volatility in many securities’ prices.

As of the date of issuance of the financial reporting, there was no material effect of the Coronavirus on the operations and financial results of the Company. Although, due to the ongoing uncertainty around the scope and duration of the Coronavirus, as of the financial statement publication date, there is uncertainty regarding its impact on the economy and the market state at all, and those impacts on the value of the securities held by the Company.

The Company is monitoring and will continue to monitor the developments around the world in connection with the spread of the Coronavirus, and will examine the implications for its activities.

Financial Overview

XTL reported approximately $3.75 million in cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2020 and approximately $2.08 million in other current assets (mainly marketable securities). The decrease of $0.70 million since December 31, 2019, in cash and cash equivalents derives from operating expenses.

Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $26 thousand compared to $27 thousand for the corresponding period in 2019.

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $665 thousand compared to $571 thousand for the corresponding period in 2019. The increase of $94 thousand derives mainly from replacing the CEO of the Company and from an increase in the insurance costs for companies in the field.

Finance expenses, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $296 thousand compared to finance income, net of $361 thousand for the corresponding period in 2019. The difference is primarily from revaluation of marketable securities.

XTL reported an operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 of $691 thousand compared to $598 thousand for the corresponding period in 2019. The Company reported a total net loss for the period ended September 30, 2020 of approximately $987 thousand or $(0.002) per share, compared to $237 thousand or $(0.000) per share in the corresponding period in 2019. The change is driven primarily by the revaluation of marketable securities as described above.
