Corbus Pharmaceuticals Reports Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update
Norwood, MA, November 8, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Corbus Pharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRBP) (“Corbus” or the “Company”), an oncology company, today provided a corporate update and reported financial results for the third quarter of 2022.
Key Corporate and Program Updates:
“We continue to progress CRB-601 toward the clinic on schedule and on budget. Our latest pre-clinical data, to be presented this Thursday at SITC 2022, further reinforces our belief that this could be a highly impactful drug in oncology therapy, and we look forward to the latest clinical updates from this field,” commented Yuval Cohen, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Corbus. “We continue to be actively engaged in business development activities with the goal of expanding our pipeline while also bringing in non-dilutive funding by monetizing our portfolio of endocannabinoid assets through new partnerships.”
Financial Results for Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2022:
The Company reported a net loss of approximately $8.8 million, or a net loss per diluted share of $0.07, for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to a net loss of approximately $2.2 million, or a net loss per diluted share of $0.02, for the same period in 2021. The prior year third quarter included a $12.3 million refundable tax credit received from a foreign tax authority.
Operating expenses for Q3 2022 decreased by $5.8 million to approximately $8.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $14.0 million in the comparable period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreased clinical trial and drug manufacturing costs, and an overall reduction in compensation expense.
In October of 2022, the Company amended its debt agreement with K2 HealthVentures LLC to defer commencement of principal payments by one year until September 2023 which improved the Company’s liquidity and cash runway. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has $67 million of cash and investments on hand which is expected to fund operations through the second quarter of 2024, based on the current planned expenditures.
