Warsaw, April 3, 2024. – Molecure S.A. (“Molecure”, WSE ticker: MOC), a biotechnology company that discovers and develops drugs to the clinical stage and leverages its globally unique expertise in medicinal chemistry and biology to explore and develop first-in-class small-molecule drugs that directly modulate protein activity and mRNA function to treat a range of incurable diseases, has published its 2023 annual report. The report is available at: https://molecure.com/pl/informacje-dla-inwestorow/
“2023 was an exceptional year for Molecure as we made significant progress in the development of both clinical and preclinical programmes, particularly in the area of small-molecule drugs targeting mRNA. We initiated clinical trials of our drug candidate, which was discovered and brought into clinical trials for cancer patients by Molecure. We have made significant progress with OATD-02, a dual arginase inhibitor, and will soon begin administering the drug (at a dose of 20 mg) to a fourth cohort of patients with solid tumors. We are also seeing an increase in biomarkers suggesting a pharmacodynamic effect in the absence of significant side effects.
In 2023, our focus was also on preparing for a Phase II clinical trial for OATD 01, Molecure’s flagship clinical programme. We obtained FDA and then MHRA approval to initiate a Phase II clinical trial of OATD-01 in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis. It is noteworthy that we went through the whole procedure very smoothly, which demonstrates the high quality of our research and documentation. We are very pleased to report that the first patient has started dosing in a clinical trial at a clinical site in the UK. OATD-01 is a first-in-class chitinase inhibitor developed by Molecure scientists for the treatment of sarcoidosis, which will be administered to placebo-controlled patients. We are shortly awaiting Phase II clinical trial approvals for OATD-01 from regulatory authorities in Denmark, France, Greece, Germany and Norway.
Last year was also a time to continue Molecure’s transformation into a cutting-edge company, applying the latest generative and predictive artificial intelligence techniques to our early drug discovery programmes, including a platform of small-molecule drugs interacting directly with mRNA targets. We achieved our first major success with Proof-of-Concept in vitro, confirming the inhibition of protein translation with compounds targeting the mRNA encoding the protein. We also adopted an approach to identifying the most promising preclinical projects, aiming to maintain a balanced portfolio of projects with strong clinical and transactional potential.
The last two years have been difficult for biotech companies due to the destabilisation of the geopolitical environment, inflation and interest rates, which slowed down partnership discussions and capital raising. Despite these difficulties, thanks to investors’ faith in the potential of our programmes, we successfully completed a capital round and raised approximately PLN 50 million in growth funding from investors through a share issue.
Our clinical development is incurring increasing costs, but we have our own funding and awarded grants that will allow us to continue with both clinical projects and those with the best earlier stage of development until at least early 2025. In parallel, we are applying for new grants to support projects and IT and computational methods, which will allow us to accelerate the development of programmes.
We are confident that pursuing our mission will open up new treatment opportunities for patients and provide a significant return on investment for shareholders. We thank you for your trust to date and encourage you to continue working with us.” – said Marcin Szumowski, CEO of Molecure S.A.
Presentation for investors
The Company’s presentation to investors will take place on 10th April 2024, at 2 pm (CEST) in an online meeting format, under the link: https://livingmedia.com.pl/live/molecure/2023-en
Selected key developments in 2023 and up to the date of publication of the financial report
Investment expenditures, among others, for the implementation of the objectives set out in the Strategy in the period from 2024 to the end of 2025 have been set at approximately PLN 150 million.
Key organisational changes in 2023 relevant to the growth and advancement of research programme
Summary of financial data in 2023

As the world transitions to net-zero emissions and scales up clean energy technologies, demand for minerals and metals will grow exponentially. To meet this demand without furthering carbon emissions, it is vital that companies collaborate to decarbonize power supply, mitigate the environmental impact of the energy-intensive processes related to these critical resources, and reduce the sector’s Scope 3 emissions.
Materialize is a continuation of Schneider Electric’s suite of supply chain decarbonization programs from its Sustainability Business consulting division, which leverage the power of supply chain cohorts for renewable energy procurement at scale. The Materialize program will encourage the wider value chain to transition to renewable energy sources by accelerating the deployment of decarbonization projects and software, improving access for suppliers to renewable energy solutions at scale, such as power purchase agreements (PPAs).
“We are delighted to launch Materialize as our latest collaborative program to reduce Scope 3 emissions. We have a strong track record of working with customers to meet their sustainability objectives, and this program will accelerate action in this sector,” said Barbara Frei, Executive Vice President, Industrial Automation at Schneider Electric. “Educating suppliers within the sector’s wider value chain on the importance of their operational models in closing net-zero ambition gaps is vital if we are to decarbonize the sector. Materialize will drive definitive next steps for the industry to lead the way.”
Lowering emissions is a challenging task due to the complexity of the value chain, data availability and reliability, and the difficulties in defining the breadth of the sector’s Scope 3 emissions. Suppliers lack expertise in decarbonization and face barriers to progress, such as solution costs and availability. Through Materialize, experts from Schneider Electric’s Sustainability Business will simultaneously engage hundreds of industry suppliers through digital technology platforms and guide them on removing such barriers.
Industry collaborator, Global Mining Guidelines Group (GMG), CEO Heather Ednie, said: “Through collaboration and innovation, the partnership between GMG and Schneider Electric seeks to revolutionize the mining supply chain, moving it even further toward sustainability. As GMG members push the boundaries of what is possible, Materialize will be instrumental in disseminating knowledge to the industry at large, and establishing clear pathways for it to become more sustainable.”
Materialize also has the potential to offer industries outside of the sector a way to decarbonize their broader supply chain ecosystems. by sourcing materials suppliers who prioritize sustainable and low-carbon production methods.
“Measuring scope 3 emissions shines a spotlight on supply chains and reinforces the importance of circularity. Materialize will help to further circularity in the sector and beyond, and this is something we support,” said Kunal Sinha, Global Head of Recycling at Glencore.
Schneider Electric’s other programs include Energize, a collaborative effort across the pharmaceutical industry with over 500 supplier companies already participating, and Catalyze for semiconductor companies. Both were created to engage thousands of suppliers simultaneously to drive swift and measurable action to reduce program sponsors’ Scope 3 emissions. The portfolio builds on Schneider’s foundational initiative, The Zero Carbon Project, that provides resources and guidance to program participants, encouraging ambitious decarbonization goals with a deployment action plan to achieve it.

Unveiled at Schneider Electric’s recent Innovation Summit in Paris, this new solution marks a significant leap forward in energy management, offering enhanced safety, efficiency, and sustainability to meet the demands of the evolving energy landscape.
In a world where homes are increasingly electrified and equipped with energy production and storage technology such as solar panels, inverters and battery back-up, Schneider Electric has recognized the need for a comprehensive solution to manage the rising demand for electricity. The Resi9 Energy Center serves as the ultimate upgrade to the traditional electrical panel, addressing the challenges posed by the new energy landscape.
New era of the electrical panel
As globally we adopt more sustainable lifestyles, the electrification of our homes is expanding at a rapid rate, from the installation of solar panels and heat pumps, through to electric vehicle (EVs) chargers to power our modern-day vehicles. Prosumer households – homes that both produce and consume electricity – are increasingly common, especially with solar production.
These new technologies rely on the electrical panel, also known as the fuse box, which is at the heart of the home and acts as the gatekeeper for ensuring the safety of electrical devices and appliances. However, according to Schneider Electric’s global consumer survey carried out in 2023, almost a third of homeowners (29%) know very little about the role the electrical panel plays in their home and 16% wouldn’t know where it is located. These figures increase amongst Gen Y and Gen Z respondents – those who are becoming or will become homeowners in a time when electrification is at its highest – to 41% and 25% respectively.
It is critical for safety, and for efficacy of energy efficiency measures, that homes are equipped with the appropriate electrical panel, yet there is little awareness that becoming a prosumer or adding larger loads, such as EV chargers, could render the existing electrical panel as no longer fit for purpose.
The evolution of electrical safety – celebrating 100 years of the circuit breaker in homes
Over the past century, the electrical panel has played a crucial part in ensuring the safety of families and homes, especially through circuit breakers protecting against short circuits, overloads, and various electrical risks.
Schneider Electric, founded in 1836 and in the electrical market for close to 150 years, has continuously pioneered advancements in electrical safety. In the past 100 years of progress following the introduction of micro circuit breakers, we have seen:
1970s: New surge protection devices protected homes from lightning strikes
1980s: Residual current devices were introduced to reduce the risk of electrocution
2000s: Arc-fault detection devices were introduced to safeguard households against fires
2018: Schneider launched PowerTag, the world’s tiniest energy sensor to understand how much electricity is consumed over the breaker or at load level
Today. Schneider Electric’s latest innovation in electrical safety and efficiency brings the electrical panel into a new era. The Resi9 Energy Center seamlessly integrates with any existing electrical panel, making it a perfect choice for retrofit and renovation projects. Equipped with high-spec hardware and state-of-the-art software, the Resi9 Energy Center provides enhanced security in the supply of electricity through various sources and its safe distribution to all electrical loads, including electric vehicle and heat pumps. All the while enabling sustainable control and customization through Schneider Electric’s all-in-one Home Energy Management app, Wiser.
Managing energy in your home becomes effortless with the Resi9 Energy Center and the Wiser Home Energy Management System. From charging your electric vehicle during off-peak hours to maximizing solar energy utilization, the Wiser Home Energy Management app puts these capabilities at your fingertips, offering real-time insights, savings tracking, and progress monitoring toward a self-sufficient home—all in one user-friendly platform.
Michael Lotfy Gierges, Executive Vice President of Global Home & Distribution at Schneider Electric, said: “The electrification of our homes is undeniably a positive step towards a more sustainable energy future. This shift, powered by renewables, enables us to tackle the 20% of global emissions produced by homes. However, as exciting as the transition to a new energy landscape is, it’s vital that safety sits at its core.
“Utilizing our 188 years of experience – 150 of which have been dedicated to the electrical market –the Resi9 Energy Center represents a true evolution of the electrical panel, and we are proud to introduce a solution that supports the electrification of homes while keeping safety, resilience, efficiency, and sustainability at the forefront.”
