Conference call with slides begins at 4:30 pm Eastern time today

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Feb. 27, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 五星体育直播 (Nasdaq: CDXS), a leading protein engineering company, announces financial results for the three and 12 months ended December听31, 2019, provides a business update and introduces 2020 financial guidance.

鈥淪trong fourth quarter revenues of $18.7 million increased 16% over the prior-year quarter, and closed off a solid year in 2019 with total year-over-year revenue growth of 13%. The Performance Enzymes segment led the way in 2019 with a 24% increase in revenues. Importantly, revenues were derived from a diversified base of business with 10 customers contributing more than $1 million each during the year,鈥 said 五星体育直播 President and CEO John Nicols. 鈥淎mong 2019 highlights, we signed our third CodeEvolver licensing agreement, adding Novartis to the list of global pharma leaders incorporating our technology into their in-house R&D. We entered into a license agreement with Roche for our first internally developed high-performance molecular diagnostic enzyme, further validating our entry into this high growth market. We also announced Nestl茅 Health Science's exercise of their option for CDX-6114 for the treatment of phenylketonuria, plus expanded our partnership to include development of CDX-7108, the lead candidate, currently in preclinical development, for the potential treatment of a GI disorder.

鈥淥ur outlook for 2020 is for another year of double-digit revenue growth, up 14% to 20% over 2019,鈥 he added. 鈥淲e believe revenue growth will be led this year by strength in our R&D business, with strong performance expected from the Novel Biotherapeutics segment. We're well positioned to continue to build momentum for penetrating a growing list of value-creating applications and partnerships across both our Novel Biotherapeutics and Performance Enzyme business segments in 2020 and beyond.鈥

Fourth Quarter Financial Highlights
五星体育直播 is reporting two business segments: the Performance Enzymes segment, which consists of its protein catalyst and enzyme product and service offerings with a focus on pharmaceutical, food, molecular diagnostics and other industrial markets; and the Novel Biotherapeutics discovery and development segment.

Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2019 were $18.7 million, up 16% from $16.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. Product revenue was $4.9 million, compared with $7.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, with the decrease due to timing in the demand for various enzymes. Research and development (R&D) revenue for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $13.8 million, up 57% from $8.8 million for the prior-year period, primarily due to revenues under the Novartis CodeEvolver licensing agreement, partially offset by lower development fees from Nestl茅 Health Science and from prior-year revenue related to a licensing agreement with Porton Pharma Solutions. R&D revenue for the fourth quarter of 2019 included $12.2 million from the Performance Enzymes segment and $1.6 million from the Novel Biotherapeutics segment. R&D revenue for the fourth quarter of 2018 included $5.8 million from the Performance Enzymes segment and $3.0 million from the Novel Biotherapeutics segment.

Gross margin on product revenue for the fourth quarter of 2019 was 30%, compared with 67% for the fourth quarter of 2018, due to product mix.

R&D expenses were $8.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared with $7.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, with the increase primarily due to higher outside services fees, higher salaries and personnel costs associated with higher headcount, higher allocation of occupancy-related costs and increases in lab supplies, partially offset by lower stock-based compensation expenses and lower consultant fees. R&D expenses for the fourth quarter of 2019 included $4.5 million from the Performance Enzymes segment and $4.0 million from the Novel Biotherapeutics segment. R&D expenses for the fourth quarter of 2018 included $4.4 million from the Performance Enzymes segment and $2.9 million from the Novel Biotherapeutics segment.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the fourth quarter of 2019 were $7.3 million, compared with $6.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, with the increase primarily due to higher facilities costs and higher headcount, partially offset by reductions in allocable occupancy-related costs and outside services fees. SG&A expenses for the fourth quarter of 2019 included $2.0 million from the Performance Enzymes segment, $0.5 million from the Novel Biotherapeutics segment and the remaining portion is included in $4.9 million in corporate overhead, depreciation, amortization and other expenses, net. SG&A expenses for the fourth quarter of 2018 included $1.8 million from the Performance Enzymes segment, $0.2 million from Novel Biotherapeutics and the remaining portion is included in $4.9 million in corporate overhead, depreciation, amortization and other expenses, net.

The net loss for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $0.6 million, or $0.01 per share, compared with a net loss for the fourth quarter of 2018 of $0.5 million, or $0.01 per share. Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $1.0 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2018 of $1.6 million, or $0.03 per diluted share. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures is provided below.

2019 Financial Highlights
Total revenues for 2019 were $68.5 million, up 13% from $60.6 million for 2018. Product revenue was $29.5 million, up 15% from $25.6 million for 2018, and R&D revenue was $39.0 million, up 11% from $35.0 million for 2018. R&D revenue for 2019 included $28.7 million from the Performance Enzymes segment and $10.3 million from the Novel Biotherapeutics segment. R&D revenue for 2018 included $21.5 million from the Performance Enzymes segment and $13.5 million from the Novel Biotherapeutics segment.

Gross margin on product revenue for 2019 was 47%, compared with 51% for 2018, with the decrease due to product mix.

R&D expenses for 2019 were $33.9 million, compared with $30.0 million for 2018, with the increase primarily due to higher personnel costs associated with higher headcount, higher allocation of occupancy-related costs and supplies and increases in lab supplies, partially offset by lower outside services and stock-based compensation expense. R&D expenses for 2019 included $19.4 million from the Performance Enzymes segment and $13.3 million from the Novel Biotherapeutics segment. R&D expenses for 2018 included $18.9 million from the Performance Enzymes segment and $10.2 million from the Novel Biotherapeutics segment.

SG&A expenses for 2019 were $31.5 million, compared with $29.3 million for 2018, with the increase primarily due to higher facilities expense and higher personnel costs associated with higher headcount, partially offset by lower allocation of occupancy-related expenses and outside services. SG&A expenses for 2019 included $8.5 million from the Performance Enzymes segment, $2.2 million from the Novel Biotherapeutics segment and the remaining portion is included in the $21.4 million in corporate overhead, depreciation, amortization and other expenses, net. SG&A expenses for 2018 included $7.5 million from Performance Enzymes, $0.8 million from the Novel Biotherapeutics segment and the remaining portion is included in the $21.5 million in corporate overhead, depreciation, amortization and other expenses, net.

Cash and cash equivalents as of December听31, 2019 were $90.5 million, compared with $53.0 million as of December听31, 2018.

2020 Financial Outlook
五星体育直播 is introducing financial guidance for 2020, as follows:

  • Total revenues are expected to be $78 million to $82 million
  • Product revenues are expected to be $25 million to $27 million
  • Gross margin on product revenue is expected to be 43% to 47%

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Consolidated financial information has been presented in accordance with GAAP as well as on a non-GAAP basis. On a non-GAAP basis, financial measures exclude the non-cash items depreciation expense and stock-based compensation expense. Non-GAAP financial measures presented are non-GAAP net income or loss, non-GAAP net income or loss per share (basic and diluted), non-GAAP R&D expense and non-GAAP SG&A expense. Non-GAAP operating expenses exclude stock-based compensation expense and depreciation of fixed assets.

五星体育直播 management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to monitor and evaluate the Company鈥檚 operating results and trends on an ongoing basis, and internally for operating, budgeting and financial planning purposes. 五星体育直播 management believes the non-GAAP information is useful for investors by offering them the ability to identify trends in what management considers to be 五星体育直播鈥 core operating results and to better understand how management evaluates the business. These non-GAAP measures have limitations, however, because they do not include all expenses that affect 五星体育直播. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with, and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measurements required by GAAP, and therefore these non-GAAP results should only be used for evaluation in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. A description of the non-GAAP calculations and reconciliation to comparable GAAP financial measures is provided in the accompanying table entitled 鈥淩econciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures.鈥

These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the following items:

(a) Depreciation expense: we provide non-GAAP information which excludes depreciation expense related to the depreciation of property and equipment. We believe that eliminating this expense from our non-GAAP measures is useful to investors, because the acquisition of property and equipment, and the corresponding depreciation expense, can be inconsistent in amount and can vary from period to period.

(b) Stock-based compensation: we provide non-GAAP information which excludes expenses for stock-based compensation. We believe the exclusion of this item allows for financial results that are more indicative of our operations. We also believe that the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense provides for a better comparison of 五星体育直播' operating results to prior periods as the calculations of stock-based compensation vary from period to period and company to company due to different valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types.
