Jerini AG Reports First Quarter Financial Results
BERLIN, May 15, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Jerini AG (FSE:JI4) reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2006. Under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), revenues for the three-month-period increased by 61.4 percent to EUR 3.2 million from EUR 2.0 million for the same period in 2005, primarily attributable to revenues from a partnership agreement with Kos Life Sciences, Inc. As of March 31, 2006, cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 89.3 million, compared to EUR 96.7 million at year end 2005. "Our solid financial position further supports our expansion in the area of sales and marketing for the expected 2007 market launch of Icatibant for hereditary angioedema," said Jens Schneider-Mergener, CEO of Jerini. "We remain on track to report top line results from both Phase III clinical trials in the third quarter." Research and development expenses of EUR 5.9 million (EUR 3.0 million in the prior year period) reflect higher spending for clinical studies, including the current Phase III hereditary angioedema (HAE) trials, and for the advancement of other projects. An increase in general and administrative expenses to EUR 1.6 million (compared to EUR 1.1 million in the prior year period) is mainly the result of expenses related to personnel, compensation for stock options granted in the third quarter of 2005, and to the increased reporting requirements of the company and investor relations activities. Therefore, loss from operations before tax and finance cost (EBIT) increased to EUR 5.3 million (EUR 3.2 million in the prior year period). For the three-month-period ended March 31, 2006, net loss amounted to EUR 4.7 million (compared to EUR 3.0 million in 2005), and loss per share amounted to EUR 0.09 million (EUR 0.38 million in the prior year period). Cash used in operating activities as of March 31, 2006 totaled EUR 6.2 million (compared to EUR 3.0 million in the prior year period). Net cash burn for the first three months in 2006 amounted to EUR 6.7 million. Net cash burn is calculated by the addition of cash used in operating activities (EUR 6.2 million) and cash used in investing activities (EUR 0.5 million), as disclosed in the unaudited consolidated cash flow statements for the three-month-period ended March 31, 2006.
