ProMetic Life Sciences Inc. (TSX:PLI) (OTCQX:PFSCF) ("ProMetic" or the "Corporation") today reported revenues of $6.0 million and an EBITDA loss of $2.0 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013. 2013 year-to-date revenues totaled $15.6 million compared to $15.0 million for the same 2012 period. Commenting on the financial results for the quarter, Mr. Bruce Pritchard, ProMetic's Chief Financial Officer stated, "Year to date revenues continue to track slightly ahead of 2012. However, the composition of these revenues has altered with $3.9 million less in licensing revenue being earned in the first 9 months of 2013 versus the same period of 2012. Such revenues, have no associated cost of goods, and therefore directly impact the bottom line and this, coupled with the increase in spending on the preparation of the Laval plant for launch and the progression of PBI-4050 into the clinic, has caused the $6.3 million swing in the year to date EBITDA position". Mr. Pritchard continued, "Additionally, in the quarter, the company was required, under IFRS, to account for a $2.6 million non-cash charge associated with the re-evaluation of the Thomvest warrants. This transaction has led to other accounting matters detailed in the financial statements, which I will explain during this afternoon's conference call". Commenting on the recently closed $24.0 million equity raise, Mr. Pierre Laurin, ProMetic's President and Chief Executive officer stated, "Given the strengthening of our share price and renewed interest in ProMetic from institutional investors, we decided to raise additional equity in order to reduce the need to solely rely on our partners for the funding of our development activities. This will allow us to retain a greater portion of future commercial revenues". Mr. Laurin added, "We intend to create much more value for our shareholders by exercising greater control and ownership over our own technology platform and related therapeutics rather than solely enabling third parties with it". Third Quarter 2013 Highlights Business Highlights During the third quarter of 2013, the Corporation made certain strategic decisions in relation to the advancement of its technology platform on the back of a strengthening in the company's share price. The Corporation decided to embark upon developing more of its near term assets to an advanced stage, prior to partnering, allowing it to retain a greater portion of these high value/profile products and assets. By exercising greater control and ownership over its own technology platform rather than solely enabling third parties with it, the Company strongly believes it will ultimately significantly increase value creation for all its shareholders. This will be achieved using the proceeds of the equity issue recently closed. Key quarterly highlights also include: -- The Corporation entered into a licensing and long-term affinity resin supply agreement with one of its existing clients, a global leader in the biotherapeutics industry; -- The Corporation announced that the recovery yield for Alpha-1 Antitrypsin ("AAT") achieved with its proprietary PPPS(TM) represents a 220% improvement over existing industry average and that it has selected AAT as its second plasma-derived therapeutic to address a well-defined unmet medical need; -- The Corporation presented new pre-clinical data at the 2013 European Respiratory Society ("ERS") annual congress held in Barcelona, Spain, suggesting that PBI-4050 offers a new therapeutic approach to Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis ("IPF"); -- The Corporation secured a $10.0 million loan and issued warrants in a financing transaction with Thomvest Seed Capital Inc. The Corporation will use part of the proceeds for the commissioning of its GMP facility, which will enable the manufacturing of plasma-derived orphan drugs; -- The Corporation announced that it had successfully completed the required GLP toxicology studies performed by a certified contract research organization confirming that its lead drug candidate, PBI-4050, is safe to advance into clinical trial stages; and, -- Subsequent to quarter end, the Company announced that, it closed a public offering of common shares in the capital of the Company. The Company issued a total of 26,651,400 Common Shares at a price of $0.90 per Common Share for gross proceeds of $23,986,260. The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering will be used for the advancement of the plasma-derived orphan drug and small molecule therapeutics clinical programs.
