Key Takeaway: Addex Therapeutics reported a significant decrease in net results for the third quarter of 2024, with a net loss of CHF 1.5 million compared to a net profit of CHF 12.9 million in the second quarter. The downturn is attributed to a non-recurring gain from a business sale earlier in the year. Despite this, the company still recorded a net profit of CHF 8.3 million for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2024. Addex anticipates further losses in the upcoming quarters as it continues to develop its pipeline of neurological disorder therapies.
