iBio, Inc. (NYSEA:IBIO), a biotech innovator and biologics contract manufacturing organization, today announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Fiscal Third Quarter and Recent Corporate Developments:

  • Fiscal year to-date, iBio increased staffing by approximately 21% to 57 employees.
  • During the fiscal third quarter, iBio further strengthened its leadership team with the additions of Dr. Martin B. Brenner as Chief Scientific Officer and Mr.  Robert M. Lutz as Chief Financial & Business Officer, effective January 18 and March 4, 2021, respectively.

“The key additions of Martin and Rob – along with the recruitment of many talented new employees to our R&D and Operations functions – reflect the ongoing rapid and successful transformation of iBio,” said Mr. Isett.    “By further expanding the capabilities of our team this quarter, we delivered new pipeline candidates, new service products and continued to advance other key initiatives. Clearly, our ability to execute and deliver value to shareholders has been further elevated this quarter, and we expect that the investment in the new Drug Discovery Team will yield significant returns as we seek to make the  FastPharming  System the bioprocess platform-of-choice.”

Financial Results:

For the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021, iBio reported revenues of approximately $0.8 million, an increase of $0.7 million from $0.1 million in the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2020.

To further clarify the results of its operations for investors, from this quarter forward, iBio will include Cost of Goods Sold (“COGS”) and Gross Profit line items in its financial statements. For the three-months ended March 31, 2021, iBio reported COGS of approximately $0.5 million and gross profit of $0.3 million, compared to COGS of $0.1 million and gross profit that was not significant for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Since iBio’s revenue is currently derived from a small number of contracts, and revenue recognition from development and manufacturing services is generally subject to volatility due to timing, the Company expects that gross profit and gross profit percentage may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter.

R&D expenses for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021 were approximately $2.2 million, compared with approximately $1.1 million in the same period of 2020. The increase in R&D expense of approximately $1.1 million was primarily related to increases in personnel and other expenses to support the Company’s development of a portfolio of proprietary therapeutics and vaccines.

G&A expenses for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021 were approximately $5.3 million, compared with approximately $3.0 million in the same period of 2020. The increase of approximately $2.3 million resulted primarily from increased headcount and increased operations to support the growth of the business.

Net loss attributable to iBio stockholders for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021 was approximately $7.7 million, or $0.04 per share. This compared with a net loss of approximately $4.7 million, or $0.06 per share, in the same period of 2020.

iBio had $103.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and debt investments as of March 31, 2021. The Company further strengthened its financial position through the aforementioned settlement of litigation with Fraunhofer USA. The Company believes it will have sufficient resources to fund its planned operations at least through March 31, 2023, inclusive of its planned investment in the  FastPharming  Discovery Platform and potential in-licensing activities.

Initial results are expected in early Q1 FY2022.
  • The Company also announced that IBIO-201, its COVID-19 vaccine candidate combining antigens derived from the spike protein (“S protein”) fused with its patented  LicKMâ„¢ Immunostimulator, had completed IND-enabling toxicology studies, with no adverse effects observed at low or high doses.
  • In support of approval for production of its lead animal health product candidate, IBIO-400, the Company submitted an “Outline of Production” and facility documentation to the U.S. Department of Agriculture for review.

  • Today, iBio announced its plans to establish drug discovery capabilities in the San Diego, CA, area, with an initial focus upon monoclonal antibodies for use in oncology.
