Company to host investor call and webcast today, August 10th, at 5:30pm EDT

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Predictive Oncology (Nasdaq: POAI), a science driven company leveraging its proprietary artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities, extensive biorepository of tumor samples, CLI laboratory and GMP facility, to accelerate oncologic drug discovery and enable drug development, today reported financial and operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and provided a corporate update. The company reported a net loss of $3.9 million on total net revenue of $0.5 million for the second quarter 2023.

Q2 2023 and Recent Highlights:

  • Initiated PEDAL-Cancer Research Horizons collaboration for the analysis of drug compounds;
  • Initiated strategic collaboration with Cvergenx to identify novel molecules and compounds and the repurposing of radioprotective or radiosensitizing drugs;
  • Delivered a presentation on the importance of addressing patient heterogeneity in drug discovery and the advantages of leveraging active machine learning at the Bio International Convention in Boston in June; met with more than 30 biopharmaceutical development customer prospects and further expanding Predictive Oncology’s sales pipeline;
  • Established new Business Advisory Board and announced first two appointments: Dr. Bernard Harris and Andrew Einhorn;
  • Appointed pharma, biotech and digital health industry veteran, Dr. Veen Rao, to the Company’s Board of Directors;
  • Relocated corporate headquarters to Pittsburgh, PA from Eagan, MN.

“We are very pleased with the steady progress that we have made since our last quarterly update, both advancing current PEDAL relationships with CRH, Cvergenx and others, while in parallel building our pipeline as more drug developers – both biopharmaceutical companies as well as research institutions – see the value that only Predictive Oncology can bring to the early drug discovery process,” said Raymond F. Vennare, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Predictive Oncology. “With our unique set of assets and capabilities that clearly set us apart from other AI-focused drug discovery companies, including our extensive biobank of more than 150,000 tumor samples, combined with our CLIA lab, we can validate our predictions in wet lab experiments in a setting that introduces patient heterogeneity into the earliest phases of drug discovery. We are the only company capable of doing this, and the results of these experiments can significantly increase the chances of later-stage clinical success by our customers.”

“The tangible impact of our presence at Bio International this year was measurable. The sustained exposure and global reach afforded by conferences like this will prove critical to our long-term success as we continue to raise awareness of Predictive Oncology as the ‘partner of choice’ for drug developers looking to streamline their drug discovery efforts with AI and machine learning capabilities. I am very pleased with our progress to date and look forward to meaningful developments with current and prospective customers in the back half of the year and into 2024,” Mr. Vennare concluded.

Q2 2023 Financial Summary:

  • Concluded the second quarter of 2023 with $14.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $22.1 million as of December 31, 2022, and $14.7 million in Stockholder’s Equity, compared to $21.8 million as of December 31, 2022.
  • Loss per common share for Q2 2023 was $0.98, as compared to $2.89 for the second quarter of 2022.

Q2 2023 Financial results

  • Predictive Oncology recorded revenue of $490,110 in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $371,591 in 2022. Sales of Streamway related products and services by our Eagan operating segment were responsible for the majority of the revenue.
  • Gross profit margin increased to 67% during the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to 64% in the comparable period in 2022 due to sales mix and higher margins on disposables for Streamway machines.
  • G&A expenses increased by $352,831 to $2,704,527 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $2,351,696 for the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily due to increased investor relations fees related to the reverse stock split, office rent and other general and administrative expenses.
  • Operations expense increased by $83,929 to $993,042 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $909,113 for the comparable three months ended in 2022, primarily due to higher cloud computing expenses, offset by decreases in expenses related to the closure of the offices of the Company’s former wholly-owned subsidiaries.
  • Sales and marketing expenses increased by $158,081 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, to $429,103, compared to $271,022 for the same period in 2022. The increase was due primarily due to the increase in marketing and business development staff hired after June 20, 2022.
  • Net cash used in operating activities was $7,002,033 and $6,427,806 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. Cash used in operating activities increased in the 2023 period primarily due to an increase in operating expenses and changes in working capital.
