RICHMOND, Calif., Oct. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Sangamo BioSciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: SGMO), the leader in therapeutic genome editing, today reported its third quarter 2016 financial results and provided an update on recent events and development timelines for its therapeutic programs.
"The third quarter of 2016 has been a pivotal time for Sangamo, as we worked to focus our efforts and execute on our prioritized therapeutic programs in hemophilia B, hemophilia A, MPS I and MPS II," said Sandy Macrae, M.B., Ch.B., Ph.D., Sangamo's president and chief executive officer. "I am pleased to announce that the Phase 1/2 clinical trial for SB-FIX, our in vivo genome editing program for hemophilia B, is open. We are also on track to file an IND application for our AAV cDNA Factor 8 gene therapy program for hemophilia A by the end of this year. In addition, we submitted the additional data package for our MPS I and MPS II programs to the FDA in September, and I am pleased to report that the FDA has cleared these programs for clinical development. Preparations are now underway to initiate Phase 1/2 clinical trials for these indications in early 2017."
Dr. Macrae continued, "We also made a number of organizational changes, including several key hires in our clinical and technical operations teams and instituted new procedures in order to position the company for clinical success. I am very encouraged by the commitment of our entire team and the progress we have made in the third quarter to drive these activities forward. I remain confident that we can demonstrate the value and therapeutic potential of our genome editing and gene therapy platforms and with reliable steps, make sensible progress and realize our vision of transforming Sangamo into a patient-focused therapeutics company."
Recent Highlights
Third Quarter 2016 Results
For the third quarter ended September 30, 2016, Sangamo reported a consolidated net loss of $19.0 million, or $0.27 per share, compared to a net loss of $9.2 million, or $0.13 per share, for the same period in 2015. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and interest receivable of $155.4 million.
Revenues for the third quarter of 2016 were $2.8 million, compared to $8.6 million for the same period in 2015. Third quarter 2016 revenues were generated from the Company's collaboration agreements with Biogen and Shire International GmbH (Shire), enabling technology agreements and research grants. The revenues recognized for the third quarter of 2016 consisted of $2.7 million from collaboration agreements and $0.1 million from research grants, compared to $8.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, for the same period in 2015. The decrease in collaboration agreement revenues was a result of an amendment to the Company's collaboration and license agreement with Shire in the third quarter of 2015, which returned the rights to the hemophilia programs to Sangamo, as well as a decrease in revenues from the Biogen agreement as the initial research phase of these programs has matured and activities during this quarter were largely internal.
In the third quarter of 2016, Sangamo recognized $1.2 million of revenues related to research services performed under the collaboration agreement with Biogen, and $0.2 million of revenues related to research services performed under the collaboration agreement with Shire. In addition, Sangamo received upfront payments of $13.0 million and $20.0 million pursuant to the agreements entered into with Shire in 2012 and Biogen in 2014, respectively. The Shire payment is being recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the initial six-year research term. Beginning in January 2016, the Biogen payment is being recognized over approximately 42 months which reflects the revised service period related to Sangamo's deliverables under the Biogen agreement. The Company recognized $0.5 million of the Shire upfront payment and $0.6 million of the Biogen upfront payment as revenue for the third quarter of 2016.
Research and development expenses were $17.0 million for the third quarter of 2016, compared to $16.7 million for the same period in 2015. General and administrative expenses were $5.0 million for the third quarter of 2016, compared to $4.6 million for the same period in 2015.
Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2016 were $22.0 million, compared to $21.3 million for the same period in 2015.
Nine Months Results
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the consolidated net loss was $62.0 million, or $0.88 per share, compared to a consolidated net loss of $26.7 million, or $0.38 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Revenues were $10.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $30.4 million for the same period in 2015. The decrease in revenues was primarily related to the amendment of our collaboration and license agreement with Shire, as well as a decrease in revenues related to our agreements with Sigma and Biogen. Total operating expenses were $73.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $61.6 million for the same period in 2015 and reflect increased expenses related to salaries and benefits, including stock-based compensation expense, as well as professional fees, consulting services and other corporate costs.
