PROQR THERAPEUTICS N.V.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. General Information
ProQR Therapeutics N.V., or “ProQR” or the “Company”, is a biotechnology company domiciled in the Netherlands that primarily focuses on the discovery and development of novel therapeutic medicines.
Since September 18, 2014, the Company’s ordinary shares have been listed on Nasdaq. They are currently trading at Nasdaq Capital Market under ticker symbol PRQR.
The Company was incorporated in the Netherlands, on February 21, 2012 (Chamber of Commerce no. 54600790) and was reorganized from a private company with limited liability to a public company with limited liability on September 23, 2014. The Company has its statutory seat in Leiden, the Netherlands. The address of its headquarters and registered office is Zernikedreef 9, 2333 CK Leiden, the Netherlands.
ProQR Therapeutics N.V. is the ultimate parent company of the following entities:
● | ProQR Therapeutics Holding B.V. ( |
● | ProQR Therapeutics I B.V. ( |
● | ProQR Therapeutics II B.V. ( |
● | ProQR Therapeutics III B.V. ( |
● | ProQR Therapeutics IV B.V. ( |
● | ProQR Therapeutics V B.V. ( |
● | ProQR Therapeutics VI B.V. ( |
● | ProQR Therapeutics VII B.V. ( |
● | ProQR Therapeutics VIII B.V. ( |
● | ProQR Therapeutics IX B.V. ( |
● | ProQR Therapeutics I Inc. ( |
ProQR Therapeutics N.V. is also statutory director of Stichting Bewaarneming Aandelen ProQR (“ESOP Foundation”) and has full control over this entity.
As used in these condensed consolidated financial statements, unless the context indicates otherwise, all references to “ProQR” or the “Company” refer to ProQR Therapeutics N.V. including its subsidiaries and the ESOP Foundation.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Statements. They should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Standards. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Company’s financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Company since the end of the last annual reporting period are disclosed in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
During the nine month period ended September 30, 2024, the Company invested in financial assets in the form of deposits with an original maturity of longer than three months but shorter than twelve months as described in Note 6. Financial assets are measured at amortized cost as they give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
The Company’s financial results have varied substantially, and are expected to continue to vary, from period to period. The Company believes that its ordinary activities are not linked to any particular seasonal factors.
The management of ProQR has, upon preparing and finalizing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, assessed the Company’s ability to fund its operations for a period of at least one year after the date of signing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Management expects the Company to continue as a going concern based on its existing funding, taking into account the Company’s current cash position and the projected cash flows based on the activities under execution on the basis of ProQR’s business plan and budget. Thus, we continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
The carrying amount of all financial assets and financial liabilities is a reasonable approximation of the fair value and therefore, information about the fair values of each class has not been disclosed.
The Company operates in
3. Adoption of New and Revised International Financial Reporting Standards
New Standards and Interpretations, which became effective as of January 1, 2024, did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
4. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The significant judgements made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies, except for the significant judgements related to revenue recognition from milestone payments as further described below and in Note 14, and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Revenue recognition for the Eli Lilly collaboration and license agreement
a. Identification of the performance obligation
Note 14 describes the Company’s original research and collaboration agreement with Eli Lilly and Company, and the amended and restated research and collaboration agreement (collectively, the “Collaboration agreement”). Under the Collaboration agreement, ProQR provides Eli Lilly with a license (with a right to sub-license) to exploit compounds resulting from the collaboration. A significant amount of judgement is required to determine whether the license is distinct from the other promises in the contract. The license was concluded not to be distinct from the other promises in the contract based on the following considerations:
● | the license has no stand-alone value to Eli Lilly without the Company being involved in the research and development collaboration, and; |
● | there are significant interdependencies between the license and the research and development services to be provided by the Company. |
ProQR’s services are evaluated as predominant at inception of the contract and contractually only ProQR can perform these services as they are specific to the skills of the Company. The resulting compounds from the collaboration do not represent a series of distinct promises because they were not predetermined at the inception of the contract and can be terminated or replaced at the discretion of Lilly subject to the terms and conditions of the Collaboration agreement.
b. Determining the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations
Under the Collaboration agreement, the Company recognizes revenue over time, using an input method that estimates the satisfaction of the performance obligation as the percentage of labor hours incurred compared to the total estimated labor hours required to complete the promised services. As our estimate of the total labor hours required is dependent on the evolution of the research and development activities, it may be subject to change. If the progression and/or outcome of certain research and development activities would be different from the assumptions that were made during the preparation of these financial statements, this could lead to material adjustments to the total estimated labor hours, which might result in a reallocation of revenue between current and future periods. Our total deferred revenue balance amounts to €
c. Determining the transaction price
The Company applied judgement to determine whether the equity investments made by Eli Lilly in ProQR are part of the transaction price for the Collaboration agreement. The Company concluded that the differences between the prices that Eli Lilly paid for the shares and the ProQR stock closing prices on the days of entering into the equity investment agreements arose because of the Company’s existing obligations to deliver research and development services to Eli Lilly under the terms of the Collaboration agreement. Therefore, the above differences between the closing share prices on the agreement effective dates and the equity investment prices paid by Eli Lilly are considered to be part of the transaction price of the contract and are initially allocated to deferred revenue.
The contract also includes variable consideration, but no variable consideration was included in the initial transaction price at the inception, as it is not highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company includes such variable consideration in the transaction price when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.
As further described in Note 14, during 2024, the Company reached milestones under the agreement, which were added to the transaction price and recognized partially as revenue during 2024 with the remainder recorded in future periods based on progress towards satisfaction of performance obligation.
The Collaboration agreement includes sales-based royalties, including commercial milestone payments based on the level of sales. Related revenue is recognized as the subsequent underlying sales occur at a point in time.
Research and development expenditures
Research expenditures are reflected in the income statement. Development expenses are currently also reflected in the income statement because the criteria for capitalization are not met. At each balance sheet date, the Company estimates the level of service performed by the vendors and the associated costs incurred for the services performed.
Although we do not expect the estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, the understanding of the status and timing of services performed relative to the actual status and timing of services performed may vary and could result in reporting amounts that are too high or too low in any particular period.
5. Cash and Cash Equivalents
At September 30, 2024, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were €
6. Financial Asset – Current
During the nine month period ended September 30, 2024, the Company placed a term deposit with an initial maturity longer than 3 months but less than 12 months. This deposit did not qualify as a cash equivalent. The deposit was held at a bank with an investment grade credit rating. Short-term credit ratings must be rated A-1/P-1/F1 at a minimum by at least one of the NRSROs specifically Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s or Fitch. The deposit was repaid as of September 30, 2024.

14. Revenue
Eli Lilly
In September 2021, the Company entered into a global licensing and research collaboration with Eli Lilly and Company (“Lilly”) focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of potential new medicines for genetic disorders in the liver and nervous system. ProQR and Lilly will use ProQR’s proprietary Axiomer® RNA editing platform to progress new drug targets toward clinical development and commercialization.
Under the terms of the agreement, ProQR received an upfront payment and equity consideration, and is eligible to receive milestone payments and royalties on the net sales of any resulting products. In September 2021, the Company issued
With regard to its original collaboration with Lilly, the Company concluded as follows:
● | There is |
● | The transaction price of this agreement includes fixed components, consisting of an up-front fee and an equity component. The agreement also contains variable parts, which are included in the transaction price to the extent that it is highly probably that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Milestone payments will only be included to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the milestones is subsequently resolved. Sales-based milestones and sales-based royalties will be included as the underlying sales occur. |
● | The Company recognizes revenue over time, using an input method that estimates the satisfaction of the performance obligation as the percentage of labor hours incurred compared to the total estimated labor hours required to complete the promised services. |
In December 2022, the Company and Lilly amended their research and collaboration agreement described above, which expanded the collaboration. Under the amended and restated research and collaboration agreement, Lilly will gain access to additional targets in the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system with ProQR’s Axiomer platform.

About Axiomer™
ProQR is pioneering a next-generation RNA base editing technology called Axiomer™, which could potentially yield a new class of medicines for diverse types of diseases. Axiomer™ “Editing Oligonucleotides”, or EONs, mediate single nucleotide changes to RNA in a highly specific and targeted way using molecular machinery that is present in human cells called ADAR (Adenosine Deaminase Acting on RNA). Axiomer™ EONs are designed to recruit and direct endogenously expressed ADARs to change an Adenosine (A) to an Inosine (I) in the RNA – an Inosine is translated as a Guanosine (G) – correcting an RNA with a disease-causing mutation back to a normal (wild type) RNA, modulating protein expression, or altering a protein so that it will have a new function that helps prevent or treat disease.
About Biliary Atresia (BA) and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC)
Cholestatic disorders refer to a group of diseases presenting excessive and toxic buildup of bile acids in the liver due to bile ducts dysfunction. This leads to liver damage and a range of debilitating symptoms. Without treatment, liver damage can progress through various stages, ultimately leading to liver failure and elevated risk of liver malignancy, affecting life expectancy. Cholestatic diseases remain leading causes of liver transplantation. There are no approved therapies for primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) for adults and biliary atresia (BA) for pediatrics. It is estimated that 80,000 and 20,000 individuals have PSC and BA, respectively, in North America and in Europe.
About AX-0810 targeting NTCP
The majority of the bile acids present in the liver cells originate from the enterohepatic reuptake cycle. The key transporter responsible for hepatic uptake of bile acids from portal circulation is the sodium (Na+)-taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP, SLC10A1 gene) expressed in the liver. AX-0810 is designed to introduce a loss of function variant in SLC10A1 RNA that has been found in human genetics to prevent re-uptake of bile acids in liver via NTCP. Based on its mechanism of action, AX-0810 has the potential to become a disease modifying treatment for PSC and BA primarily among other cholestatic diseases.
About Cardiovascular Diseases
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a group of health conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels, such as atherosclerosis which can lead to severe problems like heart attacks, heart failure, and stroke. CVDs represent the leading cause of disability and death in the world. Approximately 18 million people die every year from CVDs representing one third of all the global deaths. Despite available lipid lowering therapies and hypertension medications, the risk of CVDs is still projected to increase rapidly over the coming years.
About AX-1412 targeting B4GALT1
Gene–based analysis of rare beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase 1 (B4GALT1) missense variant (p.Asn352Ser) is known to lead to B4GALT1 protein loss of function and showed an association with decreased coronary artery disease. These beneficial effects are mediated by hypo-galactosylation of the apolipoprotein B100 and fibrinogen, known – independent – drivers of increased risk of CVDs. AX-1412 introduces a protective variant into B4GALT1 RNA to address the remaining residual risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. ProQR intends to advance AX-1412 targeting B4GALT1 to early clinical proof of concept stage, then would seek to partner this program.
About ProQR
ProQR Therapeutics is dedicated to changing lives through the creation of transformative RNA therapies. ProQR is pioneering a next-generation RNA technology called Axiomer™, which uses a cell’s own editing machinery called ADAR to make specific single nucleotide edits in RNA to reverse a mutation or modulate protein expression and could potentially yield a new class of medicines for both rare and prevalent diseases with unmet need. Based on our unique proprietary RNA repair platform technologies we are growing our pipeline with patients and loved ones in mind.

Significant Accounting Policies | |
Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Significant Accounting Policies These interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Statements. They should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Standards. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Company’s financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Company since the end of the last annual reporting period are disclosed in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2024, the Company invested in financial assets in the form of deposits with an original maturity of longer than three months but shorter than twelve months as described in Note 6. Financial assets are measured at amortized cost as they give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The Company’s financial results have varied substantially, and are expected to continue to vary, from period to period. The Company believes that its ordinary activities are not linked to any particular seasonal factors. The management of ProQR has, upon preparing and finalizing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, assessed the Company’s ability to fund its operations for a period of at least one year after the date of signing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Management expects the Company to continue as a going concern based on its existing funding, taking into account the Company’s current cash position and the projected cash flows based on the activities under execution on the basis of ProQR’s business plan and budget. Thus, we continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The carrying amount of all financial assets and financial liabilities is a reasonable approximation of the fair value and therefore, information about the fair values of each class has not been disclosed. The Company operates in one reportable segment, which comprises the discovery and development of innovative, RNA based therapeutics.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments | |||||||
Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments | 4. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. The significant judgements made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies, except for the significant judgements related to revenue recognition from milestone payments as further described below and in Note 14, and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. Revenue recognition for the Eli Lilly collaboration and license agreement a. Identification of the performance obligation Note 14 describes the Company’s original research and collaboration agreement with Eli Lilly and Company, and the amended and restated research and collaboration agreement (collectively, the “Collaboration agreement”). Under the Collaboration agreement, ProQR provides Eli Lilly with a license (with a right to sub-license) to exploit compounds resulting from the collaboration. A significant amount of judgement is required to determine whether the license is distinct from the other promises in the contract. The license was concluded not to be distinct from the other promises in the contract based on the following considerations:
ProQR’s services are evaluated as predominant at inception of the contract and contractually only ProQR can perform these services as they are specific to the skills of the Company. The resulting compounds from the collaboration do not represent a series of distinct promises because they were not predetermined at the inception of the contract and can be terminated or replaced at the discretion of Lilly subject to the terms and conditions of the Collaboration agreement. b. Determining the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations Under the Collaboration agreement, the Company recognizes revenue over time, using an input method that estimates the satisfaction of the performance obligation as the percentage of labor hours incurred compared to the total estimated labor hours required to complete the promised services. As our estimate of the total labor hours required is dependent on the evolution of the research and development activities, it may be subject to change. If the progression and/or outcome of certain research and development activities would be different from the assumptions that were made during the preparation of these financial statements, this could lead to material adjustments to the total estimated labor hours, which might result in a reallocation of revenue between current and future periods. Our total deferred revenue balance amounts to € 55,588,000 of which € 55,236,000 is related to this Eli Lilly performance obligation at September 30, 2024. As at December 31, 2023 the entire deferred revenue balance of € 64,739,000 related to the Eli Lilly performance obligation. c. Determining the transaction price The Company applied judgement to determine whether the equity investments made by Eli Lilly in ProQR are part of the transaction price for the Collaboration agreement. The Company concluded that the differences between the prices that Eli Lilly paid for the shares and the ProQR stock closing prices on the days of entering into the equity investment agreements arose because of the Company’s existing obligations to deliver research and development services to Eli Lilly under the terms of the Collaboration agreement. Therefore, the above differences between the closing share prices on the agreement effective dates and the equity investment prices paid by Eli Lilly are considered to be part of the transaction price of the contract and are initially allocated to deferred revenue. The contract also includes variable consideration, but no variable consideration was included in the initial transaction price at the inception, as it is not highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company includes such variable consideration in the transaction price when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. As further described in Note 14, during 2024, the Company reached milestones under the agreement, which were added to the transaction price and recognized partially as revenue during 2024 with the remainder recorded in future periods based on progress towards satisfaction of performance obligation. The Collaboration agreement includes sales-based royalties, including commercial milestone payments based on the level of sales. Related revenue is recognized as the subsequent underlying sales occur at a point in time. Research and development expenditures Research expenditures are reflected in the income statement. Development expenses are currently also reflected in the income statement because the criteria for capitalization are not met. At each balance sheet date, the Company estimates the level of service performed by the vendors and the associated costs incurred for the services performed. Although we do not expect the estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, the understanding of the status and timing of services performed relative to the actual status and timing of services performed may vary and could result in reporting amounts that are too high or too low in any particular period. |

Borrowings | 10. Borrowings
On December 10, 2018 ProQR was awarded an Innovation credit for the sepofarsen program. Amounts were drawn under this facility from 2018 through 2022. The credit of € 3,907,000 was used to conduct the Phase 2/3 clinical study and efforts to obtain regulatory and ethical market approval (New Drug Applications (“NDA”)/ Marketing Authorization Applications (“MAA”)) of sepofarsen for LCA10. In 2023, ProQR made a partial repayment of the principal, amounting to € 1,008,000. The remaining amount payable of € 2,899,000 and accrued interest is recognized under current borrowings at September 30, 2024 and non-current borrowings at December 31, 2023. In December 2023, ProQR received a conditional waiver of the balance of the Innovation credit including accrued interest. Consequently, the repayment of the total loan of € 4,510,000, including interest, will be waived if conditions are met, which will be reviewed annually. In September 2022, ProQR extinguished its debt with Pontifax and Kreos by repaying all outstanding principal amounts. Pontifax’ and Kreos’ warrants remain in place until their five-year economic life expires in 2025 and 2026. These warrants are accounted for as embedded derivatives and were recognized separately from the host contract as derivative financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. |

Revenue | 14. Revenue Eli Lilly In September 2021, the Company entered into a global licensing and research collaboration with Eli Lilly and Company (“Lilly”) focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of potential new medicines for genetic disorders in the liver and nervous system. ProQR and Lilly will use ProQR’s proprietary Axiomer® RNA editing platform to progress new drug targets toward clinical development and commercialization. Under the terms of the agreement, ProQR received an upfront payment and equity consideration, and is eligible to receive milestone payments and royalties on the net sales of any resulting products. In September 2021, the Company issued 3,989,976 shares to Lilly, resulting in net proceeds of $30,000,000 (€ 25,270,000). This amount included a price premium of $2,429,000 (€ 2,047,000), which was determined to be part of the transaction price and as such was initially recognized as deferred revenue. An up-front payment of $20,000,000 (€ 16,849,000) was received in October 2021. With regard to its original collaboration with Lilly, the Company concluded as follows:
In December 2022, the Company and Lilly amended their research and collaboration agreement described above, which expanded the collaboration. Under the amended and restated research and collaboration agreement, Lilly will gain access to additional targets in the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system with ProQR’s Axiomer platform. Pursuant to the amended and restated agreement, the Company issued 9,381,586 shares to Lilly in December 2022, resulting in gross proceeds of $ 15,000,000 (€ 14,122,000). These shares were issued at a discount of $ 480,000 (€ 451,000), which is accounted for as a reduction of the transaction price. In February 2023, ProQR also received an upfront payment of $ 60,000,000 (€ 56,412,000), which was recognized under Deferred Income. Lilly has the ability to exercise an option to further expand the partnership for a consideration of $ 50,000,000. With regard to the amended and restated research and collaboration agreement with Lilly, the Company concluded as follows:
During the nine month period ended September 30, 2024, the Company reached milestones amounting to $ 5,500,000 (€ 5,094,000) under the agreement, which were added to the transaction price and recognized partially as revenue during the nine month period ended September 30, 2024.

Convertible loans Convertible loans were issued to Amylon Therapeutics B.V. (“Amylon”), an 80% subsidiary of the Company, and were interest-bearing at an average rate of 8% per annum. They were convertible into a variable number of ordinary shares within 36 months at the option of the holder or the Company in case financing criteria were met. Any unconverted loans became payable on demand after 24 – 36 months in equal quarterly terms. In 2023 and 2022, Amylon entered into waiver agreements with its lenders. Such lenders’ loan agreements with Amylon are severed and any claims to repayment of any outstanding debt and accumulated interest are renounced. The amount of convertible loans and accumulated interest that was waived under these agreements in the nine month period ended September 30, 2024 is € nil (nine month period ended September 30, 2023: € 1,866,000). In the third quarter of 2023, Amylon was legally dissolved. |

Income Taxes | 20. Income Taxes The current income tax liability amounts to € nil at September 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023: € nil). No significant temporary differences exist between accounting and tax results. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on future earnings, if any, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. Accordingly, the Company has not yet recognized any deferred tax asset related to operating losses. Tax losses may be carried forward indefinitely. However, the offset of losses will be limited in a given year against the first € 1 million of taxable profit. For taxable profit in excess of this amount, losses may only be offset up to 50% of this excess. The income tax benefit for the nine month period ended September 30, 2024, amounts to € 197,000 (September 30, 2023: € 83,000) and consists of refunds received for prior years. |

Events After Balance Sheet Date | 22. Events After Balance Sheet Date On October 22, 2024, the Company consummated an underwritten public offering of 18,000,000 ordinary shares (the “Offering”) at a weighted average issue price of $3.50 per share. In addition, ProQR has granted the underwriters a option to purchase up to 2,700,000 additional ordinary shares at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The option was exercised on October 31, 2024, resulting in the issuance of 1,940,072 shares. The gross proceeds from the Offering and subsequent exercise of the underwriter’s option, amounted to $69.8 million (€64.6 million) while the transaction costs amounted to approximately €4.1 million, resulting in net proceeds of approximately €60.4 million which were received in October 2024. Concurrently with the Offering, ProQR has entered into a share purchase agreement with Lilly pursuant to which ProQR agreed to offer and sell, and Lilly agreed to purchase, 3,523,538 ordinary shares at a price per share equal to the public offering price for total gross proceeds of approximately $12.3 million, subject to a purchase price cap of $15.0 million, the consummation of the Offering and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. The proceeds of $12.3 million (€11.4 million) from this concurrent private placement were received on October 25, 2024. The ordinary shares purchased in the concurrent private placement are not subject to any underwriting discounts or commissions. |

Revenue recognition for the Eli Lilly collaboration and license agreement | Revenue recognition for the Eli Lilly collaboration and license agreement a. Identification of the performance obligation Note 14 describes the Company’s original research and collaboration agreement with Eli Lilly and Company, and the amended and restated research and collaboration agreement (collectively, the “Collaboration agreement”). Under the Collaboration agreement, ProQR provides Eli Lilly with a license (with a right to sub-license) to exploit compounds resulting from the collaboration. A significant amount of judgement is required to determine whether the license is distinct from the other promises in the contract. The license was concluded not to be distinct from the other promises in the contract based on the following considerations:
ProQR’s services are evaluated as predominant at inception of the contract and contractually only ProQR can perform these services as they are specific to the skills of the Company. The resulting compounds from the collaboration do not represent a series of distinct promises because they were not predetermined at the inception of the contract and can be terminated or replaced at the discretion of Lilly subject to the terms and conditions of the Collaboration agreement. b. Determining the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations Under the Collaboration agreement, the Company recognizes revenue over time, using an input method that estimates the satisfaction of the performance obligation as the percentage of labor hours incurred compared to the total estimated labor hours required to complete the promised services. As our estimate of the total labor hours required is dependent on the evolution of the research and development activities, it may be subject to change. If the progression and/or outcome of certain research and development activities would be different from the assumptions that were made during the preparation of these financial statements, this could lead to material adjustments to the total estimated labor hours, which might result in a reallocation of revenue between current and future periods. Our total deferred revenue balance amounts to € 55,588,000 of which € 55,236,000 is related to this Eli Lilly performance obligation at September 30, 2024. As at December 31, 2023 the entire deferred revenue balance of € 64,739,000 related to the Eli Lilly performance obligation. c. Determining the transaction price The Company applied judgement to determine whether the equity investments made by Eli Lilly in ProQR are part of the transaction price for the Collaboration agreement. The Company concluded that the differences between the prices that Eli Lilly paid for the shares and the ProQR stock closing prices on the days of entering into the equity investment agreements arose because of the Company’s existing obligations to deliver research and development services to Eli Lilly under the terms of the Collaboration agreement. Therefore, the above differences between the closing share prices on the agreement effective dates and the equity investment prices paid by Eli Lilly are considered to be part of the transaction price of the contract and are initially allocated to deferred revenue. The contract also includes variable consideration, but no variable consideration was included in the initial transaction price at the inception, as it is not highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company includes such variable consideration in the transaction price when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. As further described in Note 14, during 2024, the Company reached milestones under the agreement, which were added to the transaction price and recognized partially as revenue during 2024 with the remainder recorded in future periods based on progress towards satisfaction of performance obligation. The Collaboration agreement includes sales-based royalties, including commercial milestone payments based on the level of sales. Related revenue is recognized as the subsequent underlying sales occur at a point in time. |

Research and development expenditures | Research and development expenditures Research expenditures are reflected in the income statement. Development expenses are currently also reflected in the income statement because the criteria for capitalization are not met. At each balance sheet date, the Company estimates the level of service performed by the vendors and the associated costs incurred for the services performed. Although we do not expect the estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, the understanding of the status and timing of services performed relative to the actual status and timing of services performed may vary and could result in reporting amounts that are too high or too low in any particular period. |
