Conference Call to be Held Today at 12:00 p.m. PT/3:00 p.m. ET
RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif., Aug. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ThermoGenesis Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: THMO), a market leader in automated cell processing tools and services in the cell and gene therapy field, today reported financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022 and provided a corporate strategic update.
"Clinical trials for CAR-T and other next-generation cell and gene therapeutics have continued unabated, while the industry continues to grapple with high manufacturing costs and serious capacity limits created by long CDMO wait times and the need for current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) facilities to bring these extremely complex, life saving personalized therapies to market," stated Chris Xu, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of ThermoGenesis.
"During the second quarter, we took steps toward the launch of our TG Biosynthesis division, including starting to build-out the approximate 35,475 square feet of laboratory and office space leased earlier this year to create a state-of-the-art, cGMP compliant facility with 12 cGMP clean room suites to support the industry's manufacturing requirements by leveraging our proprietary technology to more rapidly and cost efficiently produce these potentially life-saving drug candidates in development. In particular, we plan to utilize our proprietary CAR-TXpress™ platform technology and the numerous benefits it offers, including the ability to reduce critical cell processing time by 75%, improve cell recovery by 45% and reduce the costs related to CAR-T and other cell and gene therapies by up to 50%, to begin providing the industry with world-class CDMO services. This is expected to include high-quality development and manufacturing capabilities, cell and tissue processing development, quality systems, regulatory compliance, and other cell manufacturing solutions for clients with therapeutic candidates in diverse stages of development. As previously stated, we intend to launch the TG Biosynthesis division and our CDMO services to customers later this year."
Financial Results for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2022
Net revenues. Net revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 rose to $3.0 million, compared to $2.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, an increase of approximately $0.8 million or 38%. The increase was driven by approximately $0.9 million in additional sales for AXP® offset by approximately $0.1 million less in CAR-TXpress revenues.
Gross profit. Gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, was $0.9 million, or 31% of net revenue, compared to $1.0 million, or 45% of net revenues, for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of $47,000. The decrease was driven by inventory reserves and higher costs from the Company's AXP disposable manufacturer.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $3.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of $1.5 million or 43%. The decrease was driven by stock compensation expense which decreased by approximately $1.9 million primarily due to the accelerated expense for the stock options that were voluntarily surrendered by Company executives in the three months ended June 30, 2021, offset by increased rent expense of approximately $0.3 million for the new CDMO facility leased by the Company beginning in April 2022.
Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses were $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of $0.2 million or 37%. The decrease was driven by approximately $0.2 million in stock compensation and BACS development expenses.
Interest expense. Interest expense for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022 was $1.3 million compared to $1.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of $0.2 million or 11%. The decrease was driven by lower amortization of the debt discount on convertible promissory notes.
Net loss. For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company reported a comprehensive loss attributable to common stockholders of $2.7 million, or ($0.20) per share, based on approximately 13.5 million weighted average basic and diluted common shares outstanding.
