What went well
  • Sustained an extremely low cash-burn structure after the 2024 Neurosterix spin-out, allowing a micro-cap clinical-stage company to keep four programs moving (GABAB PAM cough, dipraglurant brain injury, the reacquired mGlu2 PAM ADX71149, and the Indivior-partnered GABAB PAM for substance use disorders).
  • Continued preclinical de-risking of the independent GABAB PAM cough candidate and preparation of dipraglurant for clinical studies in post-stroke/TBI recovery.
  • Retained a 20% equity interest in Neurosterix, whose lead M4 PAM candidate (NTX-253) advanced into Phase 1 - a source of potential value not reflected in Addex's share price, per management.
What went wrong
  • Reported a FY2025 net loss of CHF 6.7 million, versus a CHF 7.1 million net profit in FY2024 that had been driven by the one-time gain on the Neurosterix divestment.
  • Cash fell to just CHF 1.6 million at December 31, 2025, leaving the company dependent on additional financing and/or IP monetization on a going-concern basis.
  • Accumulated losses reached about CHF 360 million since inception.
  • FY2025 net cash from financing was only about CHF 1.2 million (treasury-share sales via the Kepler Cheuvreux sale-agency arrangement and private placements); the company remains pre-revenue with no dividend and no buyback.
