XOMA Reports Second Quarter 2018 Financial Results
EMERYVILLE, Calif., Aug. 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- XOMA Corporation (Nasdaq: XOMA), a pioneer in the discovery, development and licensing of therapeutic antibodies, today announced its second quarter 2018 financial results.
“We continue to focus our efforts on expanding our portfolio of partner-funded programs through both acquisition and out-license activities,” said Jim Neal, Chief Executive Officer at XOMA. “We believe we are well-positioned to execute on our royalty-aggregator strategy to create near- and long-term value for shareholders.”
Financial Results
XOMA recorded total revenues of $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2018, $1.8 million of which was recognized under XOMA’s license agreement and common stock purchase agreement with Rezolute. In the second quarter of 2017, XOMA reported $10.9 million in revenue, $10.0 million of which was milestone revenue earned under one of the Company’s license agreements with Novartis.
Research and development (R&D) expenses were $0.4 million for the second quarter of 2018, compared to $2.9 million for the second quarter of 2017. The decrease in R&D expenses was due primarily to reductions of $1.0 million in clinical trial costs, $0.4 million in consulting costs, $0.4 million in the allocation of facilities costs, $0.4 million in external manufacturing activities, and $0.1 million in stock-based compensation. The significant reduction in R&D spending is a result of the discontinuation of clinical trial activities and the execution of the Company’s royalty-aggregator business model.
General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $4.4 million for the second quarter of 2018, compared to $5.2 million for the second quarter of 2017. The decrease in G&A expenses was due primarily to reductions of $0.9 million in stock-based compensation, $0.2 million in legal and accounting fees, and $0.1 million in information technology costs, partially offset by increases of $0.2 million in consulting services and $0.4 million in the allocation of facilities costs due to a greater proportion of G&A personnel after the Company’s restructuring activities.
The Company recorded a lease-related restructuring charge of $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2018, compared with $1.5 million for personnel-related restructuring expenses in the same period of 2017.
Total other income, net was $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2018, compared to other expense of $0.7 million for the second quarter of 2017. During the second quarter of 2018, we recorded $1.0 million in income from Ology Bioservices related to the disposition of our biodefense business in March 2016. Separately, we received long-term equity securities that consisted of an investment in Rezolute Inc.’s common stock under the terms of a licensing agreement. As of June 30, 2018, the fair value of the long-term equity securities had decreased, and we recognized a loss of $0.4 million.
Net loss for the second quarter of 2018 was $1.9 million, compared to net income of $0.3 million for the second quarter of 2017.
On June 30, 2018, XOMA had cash and cash equivalents of $38.7 million. The Company ended December 31, 2017, with cash and cash equivalents of $43.5 million. The Company’s current cash and cash equivalents are expected to be sufficient to fund its operations for multiple years.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this press release are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including statements regarding the potential of XOMA’s portfolio of partnered programs and licensed technologies generating substantial milestone and royalty proceeds over time. These statements are based on assumptions that may not prove accurate, and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated due to certain risks inherent in the biotechnology industry, including those related to the fact that our product candidates subject to out-license agreements are still being developed, and our licensees’ may require substantial funds to continue development which may not be available; we do not know whether there will be, or will continue to be, a viable market for the products in which we have an ownership or royalty interest; we may not be successful in entering into out-license agreements for our product candidates; if our therapeutic product candidates do not receive regulatory approval, our third-party licensees will not be able to manufacture and market them. Other potential risks to XOMA meeting these expectations are described in more detail in XOMA's most recent filing on Form 10-K and in other SEC filings. Consider such risks carefully when considering XOMA's prospects. Any forward-looking statement in this press release represents XOMA's views only as of the date of this press release and should not be relied upon as representing its views as of any subsequent date.
