Predictive Oncology Reports Year End 2020 Financial Results, Provides Business Update
MINNEAPOLIS, March 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Predictive Oncology (NASDAQ: POAI) – 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 year ended December 31, 2020 and provided an update on business activities.
2020 Highlights:
“We are pleased that this past year has resulted in so many significant milestones,” said Dr. Carl Schwartz, Chief Financial Officer of Predictive Oncology. “This includes reinforcing our balance sheet through strategic equity offerings and various cost-saving measures, significant corporate acquisitions allowing the Company to augment its revenue-producing business segments and bringing even more experience to our Board of Directors in the form of 4 key industry experts.
“In M&A activity, the Company acquired the assets of Soluble Therapeutics and BioDtech in May of 2020. Specifically, Soluble provides optimized FDA-approved formulations for vaccines, antibodies, and other protein therapeutics in a faster and lower cost basis to its customers and enables protein degradation studies which is a new and substantial line of business for the Company. As the newest business segment, Soluble signed its first contract during the third quarter of 2020, and additional contracts during the first quarter of 2021. Several of our clients have seen ten-fold and hundred-fold increases in their protein’s solubility while maintaining physical stability. For biopharmaceutical clients this means faster development times and quicker progression of molecules into the clinic.
“Our legacy company, Skyline Medical, our second business segment, operated with reduced personal and associated operating costs in 2020, in part aided by the Company lowering the number of full-time employees, thus becoming self-sustaining from an operation cash perspective. By streamlining our production, the Company maximized efficiency attaining similar revenue to 2019. Throughout the year we continued to receive indications of interest from several parties for the possible acquisition of the Skyline division, as well as other partnership initiatives,” continued Dr. Schwartz.
“Finally, our Helomics division’s mission is to improve clinical outcomes for patients by partnering with pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and academic organizations to bring innovative clinical products and technologies to the marketplace. This also includes applying our unique technology applications in our Contract Research Organization (“CRO”) business and other new business areas, to which we have already committed significant capital and management resources and intend to continue to do so. Going forward, we have determined that we will focus our resources on the Helomics segment and our primary mission of applying Artificial Intelligence and machine learning to precision medicine and drug discovery.
Dr. Schwartz concluded “We welcomed new Board Members Dr. Daniel Handley, Dr. Nancy Chung-Welch, Mr. Chuck Nuzum, and Mr. Gregory S. St. Clair to the Predictive Oncology family this year. Management remains committed to lowering costs and maintaining an efficient operation, as we continue to make strategic measures to become a profitable leader in the personalized medicine and drug discovery industry.”
Fiscal Year 2020 Financial results
The Company recorded revenue of $1,252,272 in 2020, compared to $1,411,565 in 2019. Skyline division was responsible for the majority of the revenue, with Helomics generating $64,188 and $48,447 in revenue in the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We sold 25 STREAMWAY System units in 2020 and 41 STREAMWAY System units in 2019.
The gross profit margin was 64% in 2020, a 2% increase over 2019. Our margins increased in 2020 primarily due to increased cost of sales related to sales in the Skyline Medical business in 2020 as a result of lower number of units, average cost increased slightly. Operations expense decreased by $608,422 to $2,351,709 in 2020 compared to $2,960,131 in 2019. The decrease in operations expense in 2020 was primarily due to lower payroll costs and employee stock option vesting expenses, offset by increased costs associated with cloud computing.
Sales and marketing expenses decreased as well, dropping $1,327,962 to $584,937 in 2020 compared to $1,912,899 in 2019. Such expenses related almost exclusively to the Skyline Medical business. The decrease in 2020 was a direct result of the strategic decision focus on the precision medicine business and reduce the emphasis on expenditures in the Skyline Medical business.
Net cash used in operating activities was $12,257,732 in 2020, compared with net cash used of $8,732,451 in 2019. Cash used in operating activities increased in 2020 primarily because of the increased outflows related to payments on accounts payables and payments for accrued expenses, inventories, and prepaid expenses. Cash flows used in investing activities were $167,456 in 2020 and $599,087 in 2019. Cash flows used in investing activities in 2020 were primarily purchases of fixed assets, offset by disposals of fixed assets.
We incurred a loss on impairment of goodwill of $12,876,498 during 2020. We incurred impairments charges of $8,100,000 and $770,250 on goodwill and intangibles, respectively, during 2019.
COVID-19 has impacted the Company’s capital and financial resources, including our overall liquidity position and outlook. For instance, our accounts receivable has slowed while our suppliers continue to ask for pre-delivery deposits. We incurred net losses of $25,884,397 and $19,390,766 for the years ended December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $108,383,108 and $82,498,711, respectively. The Company experienced negative operating cash flows of $12,257,732 and $8,732,451 in 2020 and 2019, respectively. Our cash balance was $678,332 as of December 31, 2020, and our accounts payable and accrued expenses were an aggregate $3,960,117. Additionally, all amounts payable related to outstanding debt agreements have been subsequently repaid.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $12,952,689 in 2020 compared to net cash provided of $9,320,217 in 2019. Cash flows provided by financing activities in 2020 were primarily due to proceeds from proceeds of common stock issuances of $4,891,348, proceeds from the issuance of common stock, prefunded warrants, warrants and the exchange of warrants of $5,057,919 and the exercise of warrants of $1,935,855. Already during the first quarter of 2021, we have received $31,077,232 in net proceeds from investors.
