Recent Corporate Highlights
Financial Results for Fourth Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2022
Revenues in conjunction with strategic alliances and collaborations: Arcturus’ primary sources of revenues were from license fees, consulting and related technology transfer fees, reservation fees and collaborative payments received from research and development arrangements with pharmaceutical and biotechnology partners.

The decline in research and development expenses when compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021, was primarily due to lower Covid-19 manufacturing and clinical related expenses. Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022, were $147.8 million compared with $173.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Net Income: For the three months ended December 31, 2022, Arcturus reported net income of approximately $117.3 million or $4.33 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $38.7 million, or $1.47 per diluted share in the three months ended December 31, 2021, and a net loss of $35.3 million, or $1.33 per diluted share in the three months ended September 30, 2022.

In March 2023, the Company repaid Singapore $17.1 million which triggered the elimination of $33.3 million in non-recourse debt pertaining to the ARCT-021 program.
