First Quarter Financial Results
- Cash Position: As of March 31, 2024, NewAmsterdam recorded cash of $481.1 million, compared to $340.5 million as of December 31, 2023. The increase in cash is primarily driven by the proceeds of the follow-on offering and warrant exercises partially offset by cash outflows related to research and development costs as the Company continues development of obicetrapib and increased spending on selling, general and administrative expenses to support the Company's growing organization.
- Revenue: NewAmsterdam recognized $1.4 million in revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to $8.6 million in the same period in 2023. This decrease was primarily due to the recognition of license revenue related to a clinical development milestone in the quarter ended March 31, 2023 while no clinical development milestones were achieved in the same period in 2024.
- Research and Development ("R&D") Expenses: R&D expenses were $42.4 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to $40.4 million for the same period in 2023. This increase was primarily due to an increase in clinical expenses related to the Company's ongoing Phase 3 clinical trials, partially offset by a decrease in manufacturing costs.
- Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") Expenses: SG&A expenses were $14.5 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to $8.1 million for the same period in 2023. This increase was primarily due to an increase in personnel costs related to expansion of the team to support the growth of the organization and investments in capabilities to support the Company's planned commercial launch of obicetrapib, if approved.
- Net loss: Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was $93.8 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $42.0 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, for the same period in 2023.
