ThermoGenesis Holdings Announces Year End 2022 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update
Conference Call to be Held Today at 1:30 p.m. PT/4:30 p.m. ET
RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif., March 30, 2023 /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 year ended December 31, 2022 and provided a corporate strategic update.
"We are transforming ThermoGenesis from a medical device company to a contract development and manufacturing organization ("CDMO") in the cell gene therapy field," commented Chris Xu, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of ThermoGenesis. "Our proprietary cell processing technologies, such as the CAR-TXpress™ platform, combined with our existing in-house regulatory expertise, will provide valuable solutions to better support the research and clinical development of cell gene therapy products," continued Dr. Xu.
In October 2022, the Company raised $2.0 million, and the Company raised another $3.0 million through a private placement transaction in March 2023. With these additional fundings, the Company announced the roll out of 12 ReadyStart cGMP Suites in a 35,500+ square foot state-of-art facility, expected to be available in the second or third quarter of this year. Once fully occupied, the ReadyStart cGMP Suites are expected to generate $10-$16 million in annual revenue. The ReadyStart Suites will meet the highest scientific, quality, and regulatory requirements. ThermoGenesis' ReadyStart cGMP cleanrooms are ideal for early-stage companies looking to jump-start their development efforts and/or scale up in the same facility, providing a turnkey solution. Further, the suites will eliminate a tremendous resource burden and greatly accelerate the development cycle by allowing the resident companies to focus on their core science.
Financial Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2022
Net revenues. Net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022, were $10.5 million, compared to $9.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $1.2 million or 13%. The increase was primarily attributable to a $1.3 million increase in AXP disposable sales.
Gross profit. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $2.7 million, or 26% of net revenue, compared to $3.5 million, or 38% of net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of $0.8 million. The decrease was primarily due to higher costs from our AXP disposable contract manufacturer and excess capacity charges incurred in 2022.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $7.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to $8.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of $1.3 million or 15%. The decrease was driven by stock compensation expense, which decreased by approximately $2.2 million, offset by approximately $1.0 million in rent and operating expenses for the new CDMO facility which the Company began leasing in April 2022.
Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses were $1.7 million for year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of $550,000 or 25%. The decrease was driven by reduced stock compensation expense and lower personnel expenses in 2022.
Interest expense. Interest expense decreased to $5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to $6.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, a difference of $487,000. The decrease was driven by lower interest expense related to the portion of the Boyalife Convertible Promissory Note that was converted in June 2022.
Net loss. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company reported a comprehensive loss attributable to common stockholders of $11.2 million, or $(20.45) per share, based on 550,993 weighted average basic and diluted common shares outstanding. This compares to a comprehensive net loss of $11.4 million, or $(43.41) per share, based on 262,135 weighted average basic and diluted common shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Liquidity and capital resources. At December 31, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $4.2 million, compared with $7.3 million at December 31, 2021.
