RUTHERFORD, N.J., Aug. 14, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cancer Genetics, Inc. (Nasdaq: CGIX), a leader in enabling precision medicine for immuno-oncology and genomic medicine through molecular markers and diagnostics, today announced financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018 as well as an update on its strategic direction and key organizational initiatives.
John A. Roberts, Chief Executive Officer of Cancer Genetics said, “During the second quarter of 2018, we made significant advances in reorienting the company and are continuing to take the necessary steps to increase the efficiency of our overall business portfolio and accelerate our path to profitability.
“We are making good progress in consolidating the operations of our West Coast molecular profiling laboratory and moving these capabilities to our facilities in New Jersey and North Carolina. We believe that the consolidation of the Los Angeles facility will reduce our operating expenses, making a positive contribution towards our cost structure consistent with our growth and transformation strategy for 2018 and beyond.”
Mr. Roberts added, “To supplement our efforts aimed at growing our biopharma business, we strengthened our management team with the appointment of Michael McCartney as the company’s Chief Commercial Officer. Michael will be responsible for overseeing our commercial strategy and leading the Company’s business development initiatives. To that end, I am particularly pleased with the recent developments in our biopharma channel strategy with an increased velocity of project work with our channel partner firms. We have a solid, collaborative foundation stemming from previous partnership agreements signed in 2016, and have recently begun expanding the scope of our work with these partners.”
Mr. Roberts concluded, “On the financial front, we recently completed a convertible note financing and raised $2.5 million to support the execution of our 2018 transformation and strategic plan to reorganize our business and position the company for future growth. Further, our engagement with Raymond James as a financial advisor in evaluating strategic options continues to progress, as we have been engaged in discussions regarding several potential transactions and hope to make an announcement concerning these developments in the near future. Overall, we are committed to executing on our growth strategy and remain focused on making CGI a premier company in the precision oncology arena.”
SECOND QUARTER 2018 AND RECENT OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
- Strengthened leadership team with appointment of Michael McCartney as Chief Commercial Officer.
- Completed sale of wholly-owned subsidiary BioServe Biotechnologies (India) Private Limited to REPROCELL for $1.9 million in April 2018.
- Raised $2.5 million through a convertible note financing in July 2018.
- Progressed the consolidation of the West Coast molecular profiling laboratory and relocation of most of these activities to New Jersey and North Carolina laboratories, as part of 2018 transformation strategy. The consolidation of this facility is currently expected to be complete by the end of the third quarter, and reduce operating expenses by over $4 million annually once completed.
SECOND QUARTER 2018 FINANCIAL RESULTS
The Company reported total revenue of $7.0 million for the second quarter of 2018 compared to revenue of $6.6 million in second quarter of 2017, an increase of 7% or $0.4million.
Biopharma services revenue totaled $3.6 million in the second quarter, compared to $3.3 million during the second quarter 2017. Biopharma projects are dependent on the timing, size and duration of our contracts with pharmaceutical and biotech companies and clinical research organizations, and can fluctuate in comparable periods. The Company increased the number of clinical studies and trials it is supporting to 342, up from 170 in Q2 2017. The Company’s booking-to-billing ratio for Q2 2018 was 2.5.
Clinical Services revenue decreased by approximately $1 million in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, from $3.1 million to $2.1 million.
The Company’s Discovery Services contributed $1.3 million in revenue for the second quarter of 2018 driven by our acquisition of vivoPharm in August of 2017. This represents an increase of approximately $1.0 million as compared to $0.3 million in revenue for the second quarter of 2017.
Gross profit margin was 31% or $2.2 million in Q2 2018, compared to 39% or $2.6 million in the second quarter 2017.
Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2018 were approximately $7.4 million, an increase of 30% compared to $5.7 million during the second quarter of 2017, principally due to restructuring costs of $0.7 million, an increase in our professional fees of $0.5 million related to recent financing and M&A activities, an increase in our bad debt expense of $0.2 million, and an increase in our selling expenses of $0.1 million.
Net loss was $3.6 million or $0.13 per share for the second quarter of 2018, compared to a net loss of $2.8 million or $0.16 per share for the second quarter of 2017.
Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2018 totaled $1.6 million, compared to $4.0 million as of March 31, 2018. In July 2018, the Company closed a convertible note financing generating net proceeds of approximately $2.5 million.
As announced previously, the Company engaged Raymond James & Associates, Inc. as a financial advisor to assist with evaluating options for the Company’s strategic direction. These options may include raising additional capital, the acquisition of another company and / or complementary assets, the sale of the Company, or another type of strategic partnership.
