IRVINE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / October 26, 2023 / enVVeno Medical Corporation (NASDAQ:NVNO) ("enVVeno" or the "Company"), a company setting new standards of care for the treatment of venous disease, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023. Cash burn for the quarter was $4.1 million, which is in line with the Company's previous guidance of burning between $4 million and $5 million per quarter.
"Our team has continued to make significant progress on multiple fronts while keeping our cash burn in line with previous guidance. Notably, we reached full enrollment, ahead of schedule, in the VenoValve U.S. pivotal trial, further strengthened our balance sheet with the closing of a $28 million private placement on terms that are favorable to both the company and investors, and in light of our stronger cash position, announced our plans to expedite the development of enVVe, our transcatheter replacement venous valve," commented Robert Berman, CEO of enVVeno Medical. "Although we expect our quarterly cash burn to begin to increase over time as we get closer to commercialization of the VenoValve, we now have the capital that we need to get us past several significant milestones, including what we expect will be regulatory approval of the VenoValve and the beginning the enVVe pivotal trial."

- The Company reported net losses of $5.0 million and $6.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, representing a decrease in net loss of $1.1 million or 18%, due to a decrease in operating expenses of $0.8 million, and a net increase in other income and expense of $0.3 million.
- For the three months ended September 30, 2023, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $1.1 million or 30%, to $2.6 million from $3.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. This decrease was due to share-based compensation reflecting the reduction in expense from grants made during 2021, the cost for portions of which have been fully recognized.
- For the three months ended September 30, 2023, research and development expenses increased by $0.3 million or 12%, to $2.8 million from $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

About enVVeno Medical Corporation
enVVeno Medical (NASDAQ:NVNO) is an Irvine, California-based, late clinical-stage medical device company focused on the advancement of innovative bioprosthetic (tissue-based) solutions to improve the standard of care for the treatment of venous disease. The Company's lead product, the VenoValve®, is a first-in-class surgical replacement venous valve being developed for the treatment of deep venous Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI). The Company is also developing a non-surgical, transcatheter based replacement venous valve for the treatment of deep venous CVI called enVVe®. CVI occurs when valves inside of the veins of the leg become damaged, resulting in the backwards flow of blood (reflux), blood pooling in the lower leg, increased pressure in the veins of the leg (venous hypertension) and in severe cases, venous ulcers that are difficult to heal and become chronic. Both the VenoValve and enVVe are designed to act as one-way valves, to help assist in propelling blood up the leg, and back to the heart and lungs. The VenoValve is currently being evaluated in the SAVVE U.S. pivotal study and the company is currently waiting for regulatory approval to begin the TAVVE early feasibility study for enVVe.
