Rafael Holdings, Inc. Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year 2022 Financial Results

As of July 31, 2022, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $63.2 million, which does not include the $33 million in net proceeds we received on August 23, 2022, from the sale of real estate assets.

For the three months ended July 31, 2022, we incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $4.6 million, or $0.24 per share, which includes $1.2 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense.   For the same period in the prior year, we incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $12.2 million, or $0.75 per share, which included $5.6 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense.

Our revenues from continuing operations for the three months ended July 31, 2022, amounted to $0.07 million, compared to revenues of $0.19 million for the same period in the prior year.

Research and development expenses were $1.8 million for the three months ended July 31, 2022. For the same period in the prior year, research and development expenses were $1.6 million.

Our general and administrative expenses from continuing operations were $3.0 million for the three months ended July 31, 2022. For the same period in the prior year, general and administrative expenses from continuing operations were $11.5 million. The decrease was primarily related to a decrease in non-cash stock-based compensation expense, decreased payroll and bonus expense, as well as decreases in legal and professional fees.

Our revenues from continuing operations for the twelve months ended July 31, 2022, amounted to $0.4 million compared to $0.8 million in the same period in the prior year.

Research and development expenses were $8.7 million for the twelve months ended July 31, 2022. For the same period in the prior year, research and development expenses were $4.9 million. The increase reflects the activities related to our early-stage pipeline.

Our general and administrative expenses from continuing operations were $17.0 million for the twelve months ended July 31, 2022, which includes $5.9 million in severance costs, in addition to increases in payroll and professional fees related to pre-launch activities for CPI-613, which are non-recurring. For the same period in the prior year, general and administrative expenses from continuing operations were $17.0 million, which included approximately $6.6 million in non-cash stock-based compensation.

The revenues and expenses related to our building located at 520 Broad Street in Newark, New Jersey and an associated 800 car parking garage (“520 Property”) have been excluded from these amounts for the three and twelve months ended July 31, 2022, and 2021, as we classified the results of operations related to the 520 Property as discontinued operations in our financial statements. Our revenues from our remaining real estate property are reported in continuing operations.
