XOMA Reports Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results and Highlights Upcoming Events Expected to Drive Shareholder Value

Received $6.6 million in cash receipts during the quarter related to our growing royalty base and certain development milestones

One New Drug Application (NDA) was filed in the third quarter; another is anticipated prior to year-end

Company anticipates the initiation of multiple Phase 3 programs by year-end

EMERYVILLE, Calif., Nov. 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- XOMA Corporation (Nasdaq: XOMA), the biotech royalty aggregator, reported its third quarter 2023 financial results and highlighted recent portfolio activities expected to drive long-term shareholder value.

“Our existing royalty portfolio continues to mature, driven by increasing cash receipts of VABYSMO® and IXINITY® and the advancement of several assets, most notably the New Drug Application (NDA) filing of tovorafenib by Day One Biopharmaceuticals,” stated Owen Hughes, Executive Chairman of XOMA.  “With additional regulatory and development milestones forthcoming by year-end, we believe a solid foundation for future growth is upon us.”   

Key Third Quarter Events 
PartnerEvent
Day One Biopharmaceuticals Tovorafenib NDA filed in mid-September
Zevra TherapeuticsZevra confirmed arimoclomol NDA to be filed in 4Q
MedexusPediatric label expansion accepted for review - 1H 2024 decision
 

Financial Results
XOMA recorded total revenues of $0.8 million for the third quarter of 2023 and $0.5 million for the third quarter of 2022.  The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022, was primarily due to $0.2 million of milestone revenue earned under XOMA’s license agreement with Janssen.

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses were $6.4 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $4.8 million for the third quarter of 2022.  The additional $1.6 million during the third quarter of 2023 reflects an increase in stock-based compensation expenses of $1.9 million, partially offset by a decrease of $0.6 million for legal and consulting costs.

In the third quarter of 2023, G&A expenses included $2.7 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense, compared with $0.8 million in the third quarter of 2022.  The increase in the 2023 period reflects $1.1 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the issuance of performance-based stock unit awards and $0.9 million related to stock options granted to our new executives at the beginning of 2023.  During the quarter, XOMA received approximately $6.6 million from royalties and milestone payments.  XOMA’s net cash used in operations in the third quarter of 2023 was $2.1 million, as compared with $3.7 million during the third quarter of 2022. 

Other income, net was $0.3 million for the third quarter of 2023 and $0.2 million in the corresponding quarter of 2022.  The increase in other income, net between quarters is primarily due to an increase in investment income.  

Net loss for the third quarter of 2023 was $5.5 million, compared to net loss of $4.2 million for the third quarter of 2022. 

On September 30, 2023, XOMA had cash of $33.5 million.  In September 2023, XOMA received a $4.9 million cash payment from Roche representing XOMA’s 0.5% royalty interest related to VABYSMO® sales during the first six months of 2023.  The payment was recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023, as a reduction of short-term royalty and commercial payment receivables.  On October 16, 2023, the Company paid total cash dividends of $1.4 million on the 8.625% Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (Nasdaq: XOMAP) and on the 8.375% Series B Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (Nasdaq: XOMAO).  The Company ended December 31, 2022, with cash of $57.8 million.  Based upon the cash flows XOMA expects to receive from VABYSMO® and IXINITY® sales in addition to its current cash position, the Company continues to believe its current cash position will be sufficient to fund XOMA’s operations for multiple years.

Subsequent Events
On October 30, 2023, XOMA earned a $5 million milestone related to the FDA’s acceptance of Day One Biopharmaceuticals’ NDA for tovorafenib as a monotherapy in relapsed or progressive pediatric low-grade glioma.  The FDA assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act target date of April 30, 2024.

On October 23, 2023, Organon notified XOMA Corporation of its termination of the License Agreement pertaining to the development of ebopiprant, an investigational, orally active, selective prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) receptor antagonist being evaluated as a potential treatment for preterm labor by reducing inflammation and uterine contractions.  Based on the existing human clinical data generated by ObsEva SA and the lack of adequate treatments to treat preterm labor, XOMA will seek to out-license ebopiprant in order to address this critical unmet need.

Forward-Looking Statements/Explanatory Notes
Certain statements contained in this press release are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including statements regarding the timing and amount of potential commercial payments to XOMA and other developments related to VABYSMO® (faricimab-svoa), IXINITY® [coagulation factor IX (recombinant)], tovorafenib, and arimoclomol; the potential out-licensing of ebopiprant to an external partner for further development; the anticipated timings of regulatory filings and approvals related to assets in XOMA’s portfolio; the potential of XOMA’s portfolio of partnered programs and licensed technologies generating substantial milestone and royalty proceeds over time; and XOMA’s cash sufficiency forecast.  In some cases, you can identify such forward-looking statements by terminology such as “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “plan,” “seek,” “project,” “expect,” “may,” “will”, “would,” “could” or “should,” the negative of these terms or similar expressions.  These forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of XOMA’s performance, and you should not place undue reliance on such statements.  These statements are based on assumptions that may not prove accurate, and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated due to certain risks inherent in the biotechnology industry, including those related to the fact that our product candidates subject to out-license agreements are still being developed, and our licensees may require substantial funds to continue development which may not be available; we do not know whether there will be, or will continue to be, a viable market for the products in which we have an ownership or royalty interest; if the therapeutic product candidates to which we have a royalty interest do not receive regulatory approval, our third-party licensees will not be able to market them; and the impact to the global economy as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.  Other potential risks to XOMA meeting these expectations are described in more detail in XOMA's most recent filing on Form 10-Q and in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Consider such risks carefully when considering XOMA's prospects.  Any forward-looking statement in this press release represents XOMA's beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this press release and should not be relied upon as representing its views as of any subsequent date.  XOMA disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, except as required by applicable law.

EXPLANATORY NOTE: Any references to “portfolio” in this press release refer strictly to milestone and/or royalty rights associated with a basket of drug products in development.  Any references to “assets” in this press release refer strictly to milestone and/or royalty rights associated with individual drug products in development.

As of the date of this press release, all assets in XOMA’s milestone and royalty portfolio, except VABYSMO® (faricimab) and IXINITY® [coagulation factor IX (recombinant)], are investigational compounds.  Efficacy and safety have not been established.  There is no guarantee that any of the investigational compounds will become commercially available.
