NEWARK, N.J., Dec. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Rafael Holdings, Inc., (NYSE: RFL), reported revenue of $1.1 million and a loss per share of $0.09 for the first quarter of its 2021 fiscal year, the three months ended October 31, 2020.

Q1 FY 2021 Consolidated Financial Highlights

  • Revenue of $1.1 million in Q1 FY 2021, generated by Rafael Holdings' real estate portfolio, decreased from $1.2 million in the year-ago quarter.
  • Loss per share of $0.09, a decrease from $0.10 in the year ago quarter largely due to a gains on the sale of the Company's commercial real estate property in Piscataway, New Jersey and other investments which more than offset the increased research and development expense.
  • On December 7, 2020, the Company acquired the economic rights related to an additional 33.33% membership interest in Altira, a company which owns the rights to a receive a royalty on sales of certain Rafael Pharmaceuticals products.  The acquisition added to the 33.33% interest purchased in fiscal 2020 As in the first such agreement, the Company purchased the potential right to receive a 1% royalty on Net Sales on these products. 
  • On December 7, 2020, Rafael Holdings entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement for the sale of 567,437 shares of the Company's Class B common stock at a price per share of $22.91 (the closing price of Class B common stock on the prior trading day) for an aggregate purchase price of $13 million. In connection with the purchases, each purchaser was granted warrants to purchase 20% of the shares of Class B common stock purchased by such purchaser exercisable at $22.91. A majority of the proceeds received are expected to be used by the Company to exercise an additional portion of the warrant held by the Company's subsidiary to purchase equity securities of Rafael Pharmaceuticals. The remaining proceeds are expected to be used to fund the operations of Rafael Holdings' drug development programs including its Barer Institute subsidiary and for general corporate purposes.

Rafael Pharmaceuticals
At October 31, 2020, the Company and its subsidiaries collectively owned securities representing 51% of the outstanding capital stock of Rafael Pharmaceuticals and approximately 37% on a fully diluted basis.  Recent developments announced by Rafael Pharmaceuticals include:

  • The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track designation for the Company's lead compound, CPI-613® (devimistat), for the treatment of both metastatic pancreatic cancer and acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
  • Rafael Pharmaceuticals announced that it will initiate a Phase 2 clinical trial of CPI-613®(devimistat) in combination with hydroxychloroquine in patients with clear cell sarcoma of soft tissue. The Company will begin enrolling patients in partnership with Sara's Cure and Sarcoma Alliance for Research through Collaboration (SARC).
  • The FDA has granted Orphan Drug Designation for CPI-613® (devimistat) for the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma.  Rafael Pharmaceuticals' clinical trial will focus on the treatment of relapsed or refractory clear cell sarcoma.
  • Rafael Pharmaceuticals announced that it had crossed the enrollment of 100 patients in its Phase 3 clinical trial (Armada 2000) for patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The multi-center, open-label, randomized pivotal trial is assessing the efficacy and safety of Rafael's lead compound CPI-613® (devimistat) in combination with high dose cytarabine and mitoxantrone (CHAM) compared to high dose cytarabine and mitoxantrone (HAM) therapy in older patients.

LipoMedix
At October 31, 2020, Rafael Holdings held 68% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of LipoMedix, a development-stage Israeli company focused on the development of an innovative, safe and effective cancer therapy based on liposome delivery.

Barer Institute
The Barer Institute has identified and begun to develop new therapeutic compounds, including compounds to regulate cancer metabolism, through internal development and in-licensing. It is working to validate newly discovered biomarkers for resistance and sensitivity within its portfolio compounds and to identify certain novel targetable mechanisms of action.

Remarks by Howard Jonas, Chairman and CEO of Rafael Holdings
"Rafael Holdings'continued to pursue the strategic goal of creating value in the pharmaceutical field including through its investments in Rafael Pharmaceuticals and its wholly owned Barer Institute.  In that regard, I am pleased that, among other milestones achieved, Rafael Pharmaceuticals' lead compound, CPI-613® (devimistat), received U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted Fast Track designation for the treatment of metastatic pancreatic cancer and, as Rafael Pharmaceuticals announced earlier today, for acute myeloid leukemia (AML).  The Barer Institute continues to make meaningful progress on its drug development programs."
