Operating Loss Widens as Expense Growth Outpaces Revenue

Operating loss for the quarter was -$22.2 million, compared to -$18.1 million in the prior year, a 23% increase. The widening loss was primarily due to higher R&D and general and administrative expenses, which outpaced revenue growth.

Cash Burn Increases; ATM Offering Bolsters Liquidity

Net cash used in operating activities was -$18.1 million, compared to -$13.1 million in the prior year, reflecting increased spending on R&D programs. Capital expenditures were $13,000. The company may engage in additional equity or other financing transactions to fund operations.

Outlook and Strategic Direction

The company anticipates incurring net losses in the near term as it continues to develop its product candidates and discover additional candidates. Primary uses of capital are expected to remain compensation, R&D expenses, laboratory supplies, professional fees, and administrative costs. Cash in excess of immediate requirements is invested with a focus on liquidity and capital preservation.
