EAGAN, Minn., Nov. 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Results from the third quarter show strong potential for future growth, said Predictive Oncology (Nasdaq: POAI) today, announcing financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. All three of Predictive Oncology’s reportable segments recognized revenue for the quarter, and the loss per common share was reduced to $0.08, compared to $0.46 for the same period in 2020.
The knowledge-driven company, which is applying artificial intelligence (“AI”) to personalized medicine and drug discovery, also provided an update on its business activities. Highlights from the quarter include:
- Net increase in cash and equivalents amounting to $41 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $2.3 million for the same period in 2020.
- No outstanding debt.
- Subsidiary Helomics used data from 100,000 Genomes Project to better predict ovarian cancer outcomes.
- Introduced Raymond F. Vennare, accomplished senior executive, board director and biotechnology entrepreneur as newest member of the Board of Directors.
“We are looking forward to the outcome of our Discovery 21 program, which we believe will realize our goal of providing pharmaceutical companies with a quicker, less costly means to drug discovery,” said J. Melville Engle, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We expect our CoRE™ platform to disrupt pharma, with our AI technology leading to new discoveries that will drive steady growth in our business segments.”
Q3 2021 Financial results
The Company recorded revenue of $313,663 for the quarter, compared to $480,757 for the same quarter in 2020. The difference was largely due to fewer STREAMWAY System units being sold in its Skyline Medical business, the segment that typically generates most of the Company’s current revenue.
G&A expenses decreased $165,176 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to 2020, and $856,719 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to 2020.
The gross profit margin was approximately 65% and 63% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, roughly equivalent to the prior year.
Operations expense increased by $80,169 to $648,935 in the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to higher staff and AI computing costs. These were partially offset by lower consulting expenses.
Net cash used in operating activities was $8,464,821 and $9,953,785 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively. Cash used in operating activities decreased in the 2021 period primarily because of the decrease in cash used for working capital and the lower operating costs related to the Helomics and Skyline business.
The Company’s quarterly sales and marketing expenses increased by $51,355 for the quarter to $172,869 compared to the same period in 2020. This was a direct result of increased advertising and promotion including website development, market research and trade shows, offset by lower commissions expenditures in the Skyline Medical business.
