Applied DNA Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Results, Announces Strategic Restructuring to Prioritize the Manufacture of Critical Starting Materials for Genetic Medicines

 

- Pursuing Divestiture of CertainT® Platform, Implements Changes to Corporate Leadership -

 

- Buildout of GMP Manufacturing Facility to be Completed by January 9, 2025 -

 

- Webcast and Conference Call Scheduled for Thursday, January 9, 2025, at 4:30 PM ET -

 

STONY BROOK, N.Y. – December 17, 2024 - Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: APDN) (“Applied DNA” or the “Company”), a leader in PCR-based DNA technologies, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2024. An update on the buildout of the Company’s GMP manufacturing facility is available for viewing via slideshow on the Presentations page of the Investor Relations portion of the Company’s website. The Company’s Form 10-K can be viewed on the SEC Filings page.

 

Concurrently, the Company announced a strategic restructuring of its business operations to focus its resources on manufacturing critical starting materials for genetic medicines enabled by its Linea™ DNA and Linea™ IVT platforms. Ongoing and future actions supporting Applied DNA’s restructuring strategy include:

 

·

The pursuit of a divestiture of the CertainT® platform for supply chain traceability and authentication1;

 

·

The targeting of operating expense reductions of 15% compared to fiscal 2024, inclusive of costs associated with the potential divestiture of the CertainT platform. Cost reductions are expected to be completed in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 (ending March 31, 2025);

 

·

The retention of Applied DNA Clinical Labs, the Company’s clinical laboratory subsidiary, which will pursue profitable growth via its TR8™ pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing services; and

 

·

The immediate promotion of Chief Operating Officer Judith Murrah to President. Chief Legal Officer and Executive Director of Business Development Clay Shorrock assumes the additional role of President of LineaRx, Inc., the Company’s majority-owned enzymatic DNA manufacturing subsidiary. Dr. James A. Hayward remains Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer.

 

·

Retention of its non-GMP DNA manufacturing business for in vitro diagnostics (IVD) and other specialty applications.

 

¹ While the Company is currently in negotiations for the potential divestiture of the CertainT platform, no assurance can be given that a potential divestiture will be completed.

 

 

Management Commentary

 

“Following a thorough review of our businesses to enhance value for shareholders, we believe that our expertise and experience in enzymatic DNA production, the wealth of data generated over years that validate Linea DNA as a compelling alternative to plasmid DNA, and our proximity to GMP manufacturing is not fully recognized in our current structure. Our actions today will sharpen our focus on commercialization initiatives for our Linea DNA and Linea IVT platforms to return the Company to revenue growth and expand shareholder value,” stated Dr. Hayward. “With several of our existing customers expected to initiate clinical trials in the next twelve months, we believe the completion of our GMP manufacturing facility will allow us to win several long-term, high-margin GMP supply agreements for IVT templates, resulting in the significant utilization of our GMP manufacturing capacity in FY2025.”

 

Recent Operational Highlights

 

Therapeutic DNA Production Services (LineaRx)

 

GMP roadmap execution:

 

·

The buildout of the Company’s GMP manufacturing facility is expected to be completed by January 9, 2025, with an annual revenue capacity ranging between $4 million and $16 million depending on product mix (sales of Linea DNA or the paired-Linea DNA IVT template-and-Linea RNA polymerase for mRNA production)2.

 

Linea DNA/Linea IVT template commercialization:

 

·

GMP production runs are expected to begin in the first half of CY2025 to supply Linea DNA IVT templates to existing customers for the manufacture of mRNA clinical trial materials.

 

·

Initiated a development program with a well-known enzyme engineering company for a next-generation high fidelity, long-range DNA polymerase (DNAP) and buffer system to amplify long and complex DNA sequences via PCR. The resultant DNAP/buffer system combination will be exclusive to LineaRx and will allow for greater efficiencies and sequence fidelity in the manufacture of Linea DNA of >6kb in length.

 

·

The Linea IVT platform (paired IVT template and RNA polymerase) is being evaluated by a multinational pharmaceuticals manufacturer in Japan.

 

² Based on internal company assumptions and modeling using a 1/100 DNA-to-RNA amplification ratio and an mRNA vaccine dose of 30μg. Manufacture of the final mRNA drug substance will be conducted by therapy developers or their CDMO.

 

 

Linea DNA commercialization for IVT diagnostics:

 

·

Received a $500,000 follow-on order from a global manufacturer of IVDs for a cancer diagnostic application.

 

MDx Testing Services (Applied DNA Clinical Labs)

 

TR8 PGx testing service commercialization:

 

·

Applied DNA Clinical Labs (ADCL), the Company’s clinical molecular diagnostics and genetic testing services subsidiary, is presently exploring reference lab opportunities for volume-based testing. ADCL continues to refine its go-to-market strategy for its precision medicine approach to personalized prescribing.

 

Financial Highlights

 

Total revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 were $813 thousand compared with $780 thousand for the same period of fiscal 2023. The year-over-year increase was a result of higher Service revenues primarily related to an increase in isotopic testing services revenues that offset lower clinical laboratory services revenues due to a decrease in demand for COVID-19 testing.

 

Operating loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 was $3.3 million compared with $4.2 million in the prior year period. The improvement is primarily attributable to lower selling, general and administrative costs year-over-year attributable to lower stock-based compensation, offset by an increase in professional fees.

 

Net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 was $3.3 million, or $0.32 per share, compared with $3.6 million, or $5.29 per share, in the prior year period and on a higher number of shares outstanding. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 was a negative $3.2 million compared with a negative $3.5 million in the prior year period.

 

Total revenues for fiscal 2024 were $3.4 million compared with $13.4 million in fiscal 2023. The decrease was driven by lower clinical laboratory services revenues due to a decrease in demand for COVID-19 testing services, as the prior fiscal year included testing revenues under our contract with CUNY, which terminated in June 2023.

 

Operating loss for fiscal 2024 was $14.0 million compared with $11.0 million in the prior year period. The increase was driven primarily by lower clinical laboratory services revenues, offset by a decrease in total operating expenses.

 

Net loss for fiscal 2024 was $7.1 million, or $1.82 per share, compared with $10.0 million, or $15.21 per share in the prior year period and on a higher number of shares outstanding.

 

 

Cash and cash equivalents on September 30, 2024, totaled $6.4 million. On October 31, 2024, the Company completed a registered direct offering and received net proceeds of approximately $5.8 million after deducting placement agent fees and other estimated offering costs payable by the Company. As a result of this offering, cash and cash equivalents as of November 3, 2024, were approximately $10.1 million.

Information about Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

As used herein, “GAAP” refers to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, this earnings release includes Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in Rule 101 of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. We use this non-GAAP financial measure for internal financial and operational decision-making purposes and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons of the performance and results of operations of our core businesses. Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the performance of our businesses by excluding non-cash expenses that may not be indicative of our recurring operating results. We believe this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors as they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making.

 

 

“EBITDA”- is defined as earnings (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization expense.

 

“Adjusted EBITDA”- is defined as EBITDA adjusted to exclude (i) stock-based compensation and (ii) other non-cash expenses.

Forward-looking statements describe Applied DNA’s future plans, projections, strategies, and expectations, and are based on assumptions and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of Applied DNA. These forward-looking statements are based largely on the Company's expectations and projections about future events and future trends affecting our business and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, including statements regarding its belief that restructuring will position the company for future growth potential, its goal to position the company for long term-growth and value creation and the potential to achieve that goal, the future success of its Linea DNA and Linea IVT platforms and future reductions in operating expenses. Actual results could differ materially from those projected due to its history of net losses, limited financial resources, unknown future demand for its biotherapeutics products and services, the unknown amount of revenues and profits that will result from our Linea IVT and or Linea DNA platforms, the fact that there has never been a commercial drug product utilizing PCR-produced DNA technology and/or the Linea IVT platform approved for therapeutic use, the unknown amount of revenues and profits that will result from its TR8 PGx testing service, the unknown outcome of the potential divestiture of the Company’s CertainT Platform, and if successfully divested, the unknown consideration that will be received by the Company, the limited market acceptance for its CertainT Platform, as well as various other factors detailed from time to time in Applied DNA’s SEC reports and filings, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on December 7, 2023, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed on February 8, 2024, May 10, 2024, August 8, 2024, and other reports it files with the SEC, which are available at www.sec.gov.
