(Nasdaq: THMO), a market leader in automated cell processing tools and services in the cell and gene therapy field, today reported financial and operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, and provided a corporate business update.
“In October, we were pleased to have completed the build-out of our 35,500+ square foot, state-of-the-art facility in Sacramento, which represents the cornerstone of our planned business expansion into a high performance, integrated contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) in the cell and gene therapy field,” commented Chris Xu, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of ThermoGenesis. “Our grand opening celebration was attended by several prominent officials from the greater Sacramento area, who helped us to unveil our twelve (12) new, ISO class-7 ReadyStart cGMP cleanroom suites and IncuStart Wet Labs.

Additionally, the ability to leverage ThermoGenesis’ strong expertise in regulatory affairs and product commercialization will help accelerate the development of our customers’ products, allowing them to focus on their science, while ThermoGenesis will manage the regulatory and quality compliance requirements associated with running a cGMP facility.”
Financial Results for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2023
Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2023, were $2,194,000, compared to $2,115,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. The increase was driven by additional AXP disposable sales in the quarter ended September 30, 2023.
Gross profit was $395,000 or 18% of net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $437,000 or 21% of net revenues for three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was driven by excess manufacturing charges incurred as a result of reallocating resources to the completion of the Company’s CDMO facility in the third quarter of 2023.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,686,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $1,982,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $296,000 or 15%. The decrease was driven primarily by lower employee benefit expenses and lower investor relations expenses.
Research and development expenses were $266,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $470,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $204,000 or 43%. The decrease was primarily due to lower project expenses and personnel expenses during the quarter.
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023, was $2,118,000 compared to $1,391,000, for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $727,000. The increase was driven by additional amortization expense in the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022.
Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $3,615,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, or $(1.44) per share, based on 2,503,631 weighted average basic and diluted common shares outstanding. This compares to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $3,240,000, or $(4.66) per share, based on 694,795 weighted average basic and diluted common shares outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
