Curasight Secures DKK 100 Million Amidst Economic Challenges

Curasight, a pioneering company in the field of medical diagnostics and therapeutics, has made significant strides in securing the necessary financial resources to further its strategic goals. As announced by CEO Ulrich Krasilnikoff, the company has successfully raised approximately DKK 100 million through a rights issue by the end of the first quarter of 2025. This capital injection is crucial for the parallel development of their diagnostic and therapeutic platforms, uTRACE® and uTREAT®.

The rights issue has garnered significant support, with DKK 65 million already secured through pre-subscriptions and guarantee commitments. Notably, strategic partnerships with Curium and institutional investor Pentwater, who together contribute to nearly half of the secured capital, underscore the confidence in Curasight's innovative approach.

Despite ongoing macroeconomic challenges, Curasight's strengthened financial base is set to facilitate the completion of a phase II study in prostate cancer by the end of 2025, as well as a phase I study in aggressive brain cancer. This marks a pivotal moment for Curasight, transitioning it into a therapeutic company with proof-of-concept in uTREAT.

Financially, Curasight reported a gross loss of kDKK -4,699, an improvement from kDKK -7,385 in the same period last year. The operating loss also saw a reduction, amounting to kDKK -6,209 compared to kDKK -9,376 previously. This reflects the company's efforts to streamline operations and focus on strategic growth.

Looking at the financial metrics, the equity ratio has shifted significantly from 84.8% to 14.2%, indicating the impact of the rights issue on the company's balance sheet. Earnings per share improved to DKK -0.25 from DKK -0.40, suggesting a positive trend in financial performance.

Given these developments, investors might consider holding their positions in Curasight. The company's strategic partnerships and successful capital raise provide a solid foundation for future growth, particularly with imminent clinical milestones. However, potential investors should remain cautious of the broader economic environment and monitor Curasight's progress closely.
