Predictive Oncology (POAI) reported its Q3 2020 financial results, maintaining revenues at $0.5 million, similar to the previous year.

The net loss increased to $6.9 million, or $(0.46) per share, compared to $(1.31) per share in 2019. Business highlights included signing a contract with a pharmaceutical company and licensing 71 unique ovarian cancer cell lines, bringing the total to 96.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Predictive Oncology (NASDAQ: POAI), a knowledge-driven company focused on applying artificial intelligence (“AI”) to personalized medicine and drug discovery, today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 and provided a business update.
Business Highlights
- Helomics Magee study completing early in Q4; Helomics presents viable model to Pharma
- Soluble Biotech moves into new office/lab space tripling capacity; new lab equipment installed
- Signed first contract with a pharmaceutical company for protein expression and solubility studies
- Licensed an additional 71 unique ovarian cancer cell lines from Ximbio, the world’s largest non-profit dedicated to life science reagents of all kinds, bringing its total number of unique patient derived cells to 96
- Completed the asset purchase of Quantitative Medicine (“QM”), a biomedical analytics and computational biology company, in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately
$1.8 million - Sold 15 STREAMWAY® systems, including eight to a large university hospital organization in Virginia
“During the third quarter, we continued our work of laying a foundation for our precision medicine business,” commented Dr. Carl Schwartz, Predictive Oncology CEO. “We are making steady progress in our Helomics division with the launch of a restructured clinical test offering to clinicians for ovarian cancer. Our project with UPMC-Magee Womens Hospital, analyzing the genomic and drug response profiles of women with ovarian cancer to build predictive models’ terms of therapy response, is close to completion. We are also in discussions with several pharmaceutical companies about partnerships that will monetize our efforts.
“At our Soluble Biotech division, which provides optimized FDA-approved formulations for vaccines, antibodies and other protein therapeutics faster and at a lower cost basis to its customers, we signed our first contract with a pharmaceutical company for protein expression and solubility studies,” continued Dr. Schwartz. “Importantly, this win validates our investment in state-of-the-art lab equipment and expanded facilities. We are working judiciously to secure additional contracts with other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies.”
Dr. Schwartz continued, “In our TumorGenesis division, we introduced our Ovarian Cell Line Media at the BIO-Europe Digital Conference where numerous researchers learned from us how they can isolate and successfully culture ovarian cancer cells that previously could not be cultured. Cornell University (Weill) Medical School and TumorGenesis are collaborating to help identify the best culture media for the studying of mutations that increase the risk of ovarian, breast and other types of cancers.
“The Skyline Medical division continues to be self-sustaining, from an operating cash perspective, as sales of new waste fluid management systems and recurring sales of disposables to support those systems more than cover the operating expenses and capital needs of this segment of our business,” noted Dr. Schwartz. “Importantly, sustaining and even modestly growing this division provides us with cash we need as we accelerate the precision medicine components of our business. During the third quarter, we sold 15 STREAMWAY® Systems, including eight to a large university hospital organization in the state of Virginia.
“Our operating cash improved over the first nine months of 2020 as a result of an improvement in operating expenses, if the non-cash expense for goodwill impairment is excluded, continued new sales of our STREAMWAY Systems, which provide an annuity-like revenue stream from ongoing sales of disposables, and proceeds from equity offerings, indicating investor confidence in our emerging precision medicine business,” concluded Dr. Schwartz. “Concurrently, we are taking the necessary steps to manage our balance sheet, including reducing our accounts payable and reducing our derivative liability by amending a settlement provision for certain outstanding warrants.
“Management continues to focus the majority of its resources on the Company’s primary mission of applying artificial intelligence to precision medicine and to drug discovery. Our approach and the mediums used to replace rats and mice in preliminary cancer studies are working in three of our operating subsidiaries, Helomics, TumorGenesis and Soluble Biotech.”
