XOMA Reports Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results and Provides Update on its Royalty Monetization Strategy

Completed two royalty acquisitions in the first half of 2023 adding one cash flow generating asset, one NDA-ready asset, and a Phase 2 asset

Two portfolio assets are now generating cash flows from commercial sales

Company expects at least one partner to file a New Drug Application in third quarter of 2023

EMERYVILLE, Calif., Aug. 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- XOMA Corporation (NASDAQ: XOMA), the biotech royalty aggregator, reported its second quarter 2023 financial results and highlighted recent operational achievements as XOMA accelerates its differentiated biotech royalty and milestone acquisition strategy.

“XOMA is increasingly being recognized for enabling innovative biotech companies to unlock value in the face of a challenging financing environment.  To date, the team has added three new assets to XOMA’s royalty and milestone portfolio to complement the growing cash flows generated by VABYSMO® (faricimab),” stated Owen Hughes, Executive Chairman of XOMA.  “And over the ensuing quarters, the potential approval of arimoclomol, a first-in-class molecule for Niemann-Pick Disease Type C (NPC) and tovorafenib for relapsed or progressive pediatric low-grade glioma, as well as the expansion of IXINITY’s label into the pediatric population with Hemophilia B, should address critical unmet needs for patients and drive increasing cash flows for XOMA shareholders.”

“We see a great opportunity to continue expanding XOMA’s portfolio and building shareholder value, as the biotech industry’s desire for non-dilutive capital is greater than ever.  Our team has been sourcing and reviewing more royalty and milestone acquisition opportunities than ever,” said Brad Sitko, Chief Investment Officer of XOMA.  “We are acting quickly on these opportunities to continue building XOMA’s portfolio with value-creating acquisitions.”

Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

XOMA recorded total revenues of $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2023 and $1.0 million for the second quarter of 2022.  The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022, was primarily due to $1.1 million of milestones earned during the quarter pursuant to the license agreement with Janssen.

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses were $39,000 and $40,000, respectively, for the second quarters of 2023 and 2022.

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses were $5.8 million and $5.7 million, respectively, for the second quarters of 2023 and 2022.  The second quarter of 2023 included an increase of $1.3 million in stock-based compensation expense and was offset by a decrease of $1.1 million in legal and consulting costs.   

As a result of the announcement by Bioasis to suspend its operations and the termination of Bioasis’ research collaboration and license agreement with Chiesi, XOMA recorded a one-time, non-cash impairment charge of $1.6 million and a reduction of $1.6 million under long-term royalty receivables in the second quarter of 2023.

In the second quarter of 2023, G&A expenses included $2.2 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense, as compared with $0.8 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense in the second quarter of 2022.  XOMA’s net cash used in operations in the second quarter of 2023 was $7.2 million, which included a one-time arbitration settlement cost of $4.1 million, as compared with $4.3 million during the second quarter of 2022.

Other income, net was $0.6 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to other income, net of $0.1 million in the corresponding quarter of 2022.  The $0.5 million difference primarily is due to an increase of $0.4 million in investment income combined with the change in fair value of $75,000 for the contingent consideration related to Bioasis.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2023 was $5.4 million, compared to net loss of $4.7 million for the second quarter of 2022.

On June 30, 2023, XOMA had cash and cash equivalents of $31.4 million.  On July 17, 2023, the Company paid cash dividends on the 8.625% Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (Nasdaq: XOMAP) equal to $0.53906 per share and cash dividends on the 8.375% Series B Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (Nasdaq: XOMAO) equal to $0.52344 per depositary share.  The Company ended December 31, 2022, with cash and cash equivalents of $57.8 million.  Due to recent communications from several partners related to delays in achieving specific milestones that are associated with payments to XOMA, the Company currently anticipates lower cash receipts from milestone payments in 2023 than previously expected.  Based upon the cash flows XOMA expects to receive from VABYSMO and IXINITY sales in addition to its current cash position, the Company continues to believe its current cash position will be sufficient to fund XOMA’s operations for multiple years.

Forward-Looking Statements/Explanatory Notes
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 timing and amount of potential commercial and milestone payments to XOMA, the potential of XOMA’s portfolio of partnered programs and licensed technologies generating substantial milestone and royalty proceeds over time, XOMA’s business forecast, the potential expansion and accelerated growth of XOMA’s portfolio, and the potential for this portfolio to generate sustained cash flows and positive returns over time.  In some cases, you can identify such forward-looking statements by terminology such as “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “plan,” “seek,” “project,” “expect,” “may,” “will”, “would,” “could” or “should,” the negative of these terms or similar expressions.  These forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of XOMA’s performance, and you should not place undue reliance on such statements.  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; if the therapeutic product candidates to which we have a royalty interest do not receive regulatory approval, our third-party licensees will not be able to market them; and the impact to the global economy as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.  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 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Consider such risks carefully when considering XOMA's prospects.  Any forward-looking statement in this press release represents XOMA's beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this press release and should not be relied upon as representing its views as of any subsequent date.  XOMA disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, except as required by applicable law.

EXPLANATORY NOTE: Any references to “portfolio” in this press release refer strictly to milestone and/or royalty rights associated with a basket of drug products in development.  Any references to “assets” in this press release refer strictly to milestone and/or royalty rights associated with individual drug products in development.

As of the date of this press release, all assets in XOMA’s milestone and royalty portfolio, except VABYSMO® (faricimab-svoa) and IXINITY® [coagulation factor IX (recombinant)], are investigational compounds.  Efficacy and safety have not been established.  There is no guarantee that any of the investigational compounds will become commercially available.
