XOMA Royalty Corporation (NASDAQ: XOMA), the biotech royalty aggregator, reported its third quarter 2024 financial results and highlighted recent activities.

“We continue to take a balanced approach to building a portfolio of sustainable cashflow streams by selectively acquiring royalty economics across the lifecycle of drug development,” stated Owen Hughes, Chief Executive Officer of XOMA Royalty.  “The September approval of MIPLYFFA™, the first therapy approved for patients living with Niemann-Pick disease Type C, adds to our growing commercial royalty portfolio, while the recent transaction with Twist Bioscience further expands our early-stage portfolio, a key focus for us as we look to distribute risk across a diversified portfolio.”

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

XOMA Royalty recorded total income and revenues of $7.2 million for the third quarter of 2024, which included $6.5 million in estimated income associated with two commercial products in our portfolio.  In the third quarter of 2023, XOMA Royalty reported total income and revenue of $0.8 million. 

Research and development (R&D) expenses were $0.8 million in the third quarter of 2024, reflecting transitory clinical trial costs related to KIN-3248, an asset acquired in the Kinnate acquisition, which the Company currently is winding down.  R&D expenses in the third quarter of 2023 were $25,000.

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses were $8.0 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared with $6.4 million in the third quarter of 2023.  The increase of $1.6 million was primarily comprised of $1.4 million in total costs incurred after our acquisition of Kinnate, which included $1.1 million in legal and consulting costs, $0.1 million in information technology costs, and $0.1 million in insurance costs.  The remainder of the increased G&A expense reflects an increase of $0.2 million for salaries and related costs.

In the third quarter of 2024, as a result of communications with Agenus, XOMA Royalty evaluated the status of the partnered programs underlying the Agenus Royalty Purchase Agreement for potential impairment and recorded a one-time, non-cash impairment charge of $14.0 million and a reduction of royalty receivables of $14.0 million associated with Agenus.

In the third quarters of 2024 and 2023, G&A expenses included $2.6 million and $2.7 million, respectively, in non-cash stock-based compensation expenses.

Total interest expense in the third quarter of 2024 was $3.5 million, representing interest and costs related to the Blue Owl Loan established in December 2023.

The Company reported total other income, net, of $1.9 million in the third quarter of 2024, as compared to total other income, net, of $0.3 million in the corresponding period of 2023.  The $1.6 million increase reflects a $1.3 million increase in investment income due to higher balances on our investments and the change in the market price for XOMA Royalty’s shares of Rezolute common stock.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2024 was $17.2 million, compared to a net loss of $5.5 million for the third quarter of 2023, primarily resulting from the $14.0 million non-cash impairment related to the Agenus Royalty Purchase Agreement.

On September 30, 2024, XOMA Royalty had cash and cash equivalents of $146.8 million (including $4.8 million in restricted cash).  On December 31, 2023, XOMA Royalty had cash and cash equivalents of $159.6 million (including $6.3 million in restricted cash).  During the third quarter of 2024, XOMA Royalty received $9.9 million in cash from royalty and commercial payments.  Net cash used in operating activities during the quarter was $8.6 million.  On October 15, 2024, the Company paid a total of $1.4 million in cash dividends on the 8.625% Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (Nasdaq: XOMAP) and the 8.375% Series B Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (Nasdaq: XOMAO).
