Fibrocell
Science, Inc. (NYSE MKT:FCSC), an autologous cell therapy company
primarily focused on developing first-in-class treatments for skin
diseases and conditions, particularly those with high unmet medical
needs, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended
September 30, 2013 and provided an update on recent business
developments.
Third Quarter 2013 Highlights and Recent Business Developments
-
In October 2013, completed an underwritten public offering which,
including the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option,
resulted in aggregate net proceeds of approximately $47.4 million, net
of underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses
-
Expanded the exclusive channel collaboration with Intrexon
Corporation (NYSE:XON) for development of a potentially new class
of therapeutics to include potential treatments based on engineered
autologous fibroblast cells for the localized treatment of autoimmune
and inflammatory disorders including orphan indications morphea
(localized scleroderma) and cutaneous eosinophilias, and moderate to
severe psoriasis
-
Awarded a patent from the United States Patent and Trademark Office
covering azficel-T fibroblast suspension, which extends patent
exclusivity in the United States until 2031
Financial Results
Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $12.9
million, compared to net income of $11.4 million for the comparable
three-month period in the prior year. The difference is primarily due to
the changes in warrant and derivative revaluation, offset by an increase
in selling, general and administrative expenses and research and
development expenses. In addition, a gain on sale of a discontinued
operation was realized during the third quarter of 2012.
Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $25.0 million,
compared to a net loss of $1.7 million for the comparable nine-month
period. The increase is primarily due to an increase in research and
development expenses and a reduction in warrant and derivative
revaluations, partially offset by the extinguishment of debt that
occurred in 2012. In addition, a deferred tax benefit and a gain on sale
of a discontinued operation were realized in the nine months ending
September 30, 2012.
Research and development expense increased $7.9 million to $8.4 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $0.4 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2012. Research and development expense
increased $9.5 million to $10.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2013 from $1.3 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2012. The increase is due primarily to research and development
costs incurred in connection with an amendment to the Company’s
exclusive channel collaboration with Intrexon Corporation (NYSE:XON).
Third quarter 2013 research and development costs include a one-time
charge of $6.4 million for the fair value of common stock issued to
Intrexon related to the amended collaboration and stock issuance
agreements. We also recorded $1.4 and $2.4 million for reimbursement of
work performed by Intrexon Corporation for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Fibrocell expects research and
development costs to continue to be significant for the foreseeable
future as a result of clinical trials and the collaboration with
Intrexon Corporation.
As of September 30, 2013, the Company had $16.9 million in cash and cash
equivalents, compared to $31.3 million as of December 31, 2012. In
October 2013, subsequent to the end of the 3rd quarter, the
Company received net proceeds of approximately $47.4 million from the
Company’s underwritten public offering.
