ThermoGenesis Holdings Announces Financial Results for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2022 and Provides Corporate Update
Conference Call to be Held Today at 1:30 p.m. PT/4:30 p.m. ET
RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif., Nov. 10, 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 third quarter ended September 30, 2022 and provided a corporate strategic update.
"As more regenerative medicine treatments, such as CAR-T cell therapies, receive regulatory approval, the demand for manufacturing of these complex, lifesaving therapies continues to grow. This is true, both domestically and internationally, as only a small fraction of such drugs, whether for clinical trial or commercial use, are manufactured in-house. Given the increasing focus on this space, the limited number of good manufacturing practice (cGMP) facilities, serious technological inefficiencies, and high costs, coupled with severely limited global capacity, partnerships with CDMOs are on the rise," stated Chris Xu, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of ThermoGenesis.
"During the third quarter, we continued to make significant progress towards launching our TG Biosynthesis division, with the goal of creating a 35,745 square foot, state-of-the-art, cGMP compliant CDMO facility to support the industry's growing manufacturing requirements. As previously reported, we plan to leverage our proprietary high efficiency, semi-automated CAR-TXpress™ platform, which we believe is capable of meaningfully reducing processing time, improving cell recovery, and potentially cutting the manufacturing costs associated with CAR-T and other cell and gene therapies. We recently raised approximately $2.0 million in a public offering and continue to work on this exciting transformation of the Company," continued Dr. Xu.
Financial Results for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2022
Net revenues. Net revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, were $2.1 million, compared to $3.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, a decrease of approximately $1.0 million or 33%. The reduction in revenues was due to $1.2 million in lower sales for AXP driven by approximately $1.3 million less AXP disposable sales to our distributors in China.
Gross profit. Gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 was $0.4 million, or 21% of net revenue, compared to $1.1 million, or 35% of net revenue for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021, a decrease of $0.7 million. The decrease was driven by a decline in revenues, higher costs from our AXP disposable contract manufacturer, and increased overhead charges.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $1.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $0.3 million or 18%. The increase was driven by rent expense for the new CDMO facility leased by the Company beginning in April 2022.
Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses were $470,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $543,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, a decrease of $73,000 or 13%. The decrease was driven primarily by lower salaries and benefits.
Interest expense. Interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, was $1.4 million compared to $1.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, a decrease of $0.1 million or 9%. The decrease was due to less amortization of debt discount from the adoption of ASU 2020-06 and lower interest expense due to the portion of the Boyalife note payable that was converted in June 2022. This was offset by the triggering events that occurred in 2022 relating to the Boyalife note payable.
Net loss. For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the Company reported a comprehensive loss attributable to common stockholders of $3.2 million, or ($0.10) per share, based on approximately 31.3 million weighted average basic and diluted common shares outstanding. This compares to a comprehensive net loss of $1.8 million, or ($0.15) per share, based on approximately 11.9 million weighted average basic and diluted common shares outstanding for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.
Liquidity and capital resources. At September 30, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $3.9 million, compared with $7.3 million at December 31, 2021. Working capital was $0.5 million at September 30, 2022, as compared to $8.6 million at December 31, 2021.
