Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Significant events
- “In 2024, Healx made significant strides across its portfolio, technology, and partnerships. The company strategically refined its focus around three core therapeutic areas: rare oncology, rare renal, and rare neurodevelopmental disorders. By the end of the year, Healx was advancing seven therapeutic programmes within these domains.”
- “Notably, a new asset, HLX-1502, was successfully transitioned from the preclinical stage to clinical development for the treatment of Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1). To support this advancement, Healx secured US Orphan Drug and Fast Track Designations, obtained FDA IND approval, and has since initiated a Phase II clinical trial in the US.”
- “Healx's TechBio platform has continued to evolve in alignment with portfolio priorities. This year, key efforts have centered on advancing the Virtual Screening platform to support the discovery of a NCE for ADPKD, and enhancing the phenotypic profiling capabilities to drive the development of a new NCE for NF1.”
- “Healx maintained several strategic collaborations with biotech, pharmaceutical, academic, and patient advocacy groups. Notably, in November 2024, Healx entered into a collaboration with Sanofi to identify new indications for one of Sanofi's proprietary assets.”
- “In August 2024, Healx announced it had secured $47m (£36m) in a Series C funding round, which generated strong inbound interest. As a result, the company has raised an additional $13m (£10m) in a Series C extension to date.”
- “In December 2024, Dr. Jonathan Milner, a leading figure in the life sciences sector and founder of Abcam, was appointed non-executive chairman of Healx.”
- “Healx's headcount reached 54 by year-end, closely aligning with its 2023 figure of 51, reflecting its strategy of maintaining operational efficiency and optimizing capital allocation to high-value areas of the business.”
- “During the year, the Group and Company issued 10,527 ordinary shares and 5,364,135 preference shares at a price of £0.21 and £5.26683 per share respectively, raising total proceeds of £28.3m. There were no capital reductions during the financial year.”
- “The Group and Company issued 893,056 preference shares, resulting in total gross proceeds of £4.7m. The shares were issued at a premium, and the proceeds will be used to support the Company's ongoing working capital requirements.”
- “In March 2025, the Board decided to close the Cambridge Lab facility, aligning with a strategic focus on existing preclinical and clinical stage assets.”
- “On 28 July 2025, Healx Limited entered into a transaction with Vuja De Sciences, Inc. (Vuja De), a Delaware corporation. The deal is structured as a Joint Venture via Healx USA Holdings LLC, formed by Healx. VujaDe's shareholders contributed all their VujaDe stock to Healx USA Holdings LLC. Healx contributed $3m cash into Healx USA Holdings LLC to be used for the progression of Vuja De's development program. This transaction brings a second Rare Oncology program into Healx portfolio.”
