Conference Call to be Held Today at 1:30 p.m. PT/4:30 p.m. ET
RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif., August 10, 2023 — 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, 2023, and provided a corporate business update.
“Throughout the second quarter, we continued to make headway in constructing our innovative ReadyStart suites in Sacramento. The suites, to be housed in a cutting-edge 35,500+ square foot, cGMP facility, are paramount to our strategy of becoming a high-performance, integrated contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), specializing in cell and gene therapy, an area in which we have decades of expertise,” commented Chris Xu, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of ThermoGenesis.
In addition to our operational progress this quarter, we were pleased to welcome Biao Xi, Ph.D. and James Xu, Esq., DBA, PsyD., J.D., CPA to our Board as Independent Directors, expanding the Board to seven members. Their contributions are already proving valuable as we continue to execute on our strategic vision and launch our integrated CDMO services.
Financial Results for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2023
Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2023, were $2.3 million, compared to $3.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was driven by primarily lower AXP disposable sales to the Company’s distributor in China; however, it was offset by higher domestic AXP disposable sales and BioArchive device revenue.
Gross profit was $0.5 million or 21% of net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $0.9 million or 31% for three months ended June 30, 2022. The primary drivers of the decrease were reduced revenue and lower absorption in the quarter ended June 30, 2023.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.8 million compared to $2.0 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $0.2 million or 9%. The decrease was driven by lower employee benefits and legal expenses.
Research and development expenses were $0.4 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022.
Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023, was $0.7 million compared to $1.4 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $0.7 million. The decrease was driven by lower amortization and interest expense related to the Boyalife Note and the outstanding convertible note issued in June 2019 in the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022.
Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, or $(0.91) per share, based on 2,482,298 weighted average basic and diluted common shares outstanding. This compares to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $2.7 million, or $(8.98) per share, based on 299,181 weighted average basic and diluted common shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
At June 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $4.5 million, compared with cash and cash equivalents of $4.2 million at December 31, 2022.
