Mont-Saint-Guibert, Belgium – November 8, 2023 10:05pm CET / 4:05pm ET – Nyxoah SA (Euronext Brussels/Nasdaq: NYXH) (“Nyxoah” or the “Company”), a medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative solutions to treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), today reported financial and operating results for the third quarter of 2023.
  
Recent Financial and Operating Highlights

• Filed the third module in the modular PMA submission.
• Accelerated U.S. pre-commercialization efforts, focused on market access around CPT coding.
• Initiated a commercial partnership with strategic investor ResMed in Germany. This collaboration introduces a novel continuum of care into the German OSA market.

“Nyxoah is entering one of the most exciting times in the company’s history. We will report data from our DREAM U.S. pivotal trial early next year, shortly thereafter complete our modular PMA submission, and expect FDA approval late 2024,” commented Olivier Taelman, Chief Executive Officer. “Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) remains highly underpenetrated and guiding patients through their OSA journey is key to unlocking the market’s potential. Our agreement with ResMed Germany, which takes ResMed from a valued investor to commercial partner, creates a continuum of care that directs patients towards the appropriate treatment, resulting in greater therapy penetration.”
