EXHIBIT 99.1
THE WOODLANDS, Texas, May 16, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Repros Therapeutics Inc.® (Nasdaq:RPRX) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011.
Financial Results
Net loss for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, was ($2.1) million or ($0.20) per share as compared to a net loss of ($1.1) million or ($0.17) per share for the same period in 2010. The increase in loss for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 was primarily due to increased expenses in clinical development for Androxal® and Proellex®.
Research and development ("R&D") expenses increased 223% or approximately $1.0 million to $1.5 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $458,000 for the same period in the prior year. Our primary R&D expenses for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are shown in the following table (in thousands):
Research and Development |
Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 |
Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 |
Variance |
Change (%) |
Operating and occupancy | $193 | $177 | $16 | 9% |
Payroll and benefits | 191 | 120 | 71 | 59% |
Androxal® clinical development | 871 | 14 | 857 | 6,121% |
Proellex® clinical development | 225 | 147 | 78 | 53% |
Total | $1,480 | $458 | $1,022 | 223% |
The increase in R&D expenses is primarily due to the increased clinical development expenses related to Androxal® as a result of the initiation of the Phase 2 study as a potential treatment for Type 2 diabetes in hypogonadal men and the Phase 2B study in men with secondary hypogonadism. R&D expenses were further increased due to the ongoing dose escalating study being conducted on Proellex® initiated in the third quarter of 2010. Additionally, payroll and benefits expenses increased due to increased headcount and the discontinuation of the salary reduction program put in place in August 2009 for all salaried R&D employees.
General and administrative expenses, ("G&A"), decreased 5% or approximately $34,000 to $635,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $669,000 for the same period in the prior year. Our primary G&A expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are shown in the following table (in thousands):
General and Administrative |
Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 |
Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 |

Change (%) |
Payroll and benefits | $196 | $153 | $43 | 28% |
Operating and occupancy | 439 | 516 | (77) | (15)% |
Total | $635 | $669 | ($34) | (5)% |
G&A payroll and benefits expenses include a charge for non-cash stock option expense of $78,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $74,000 for the same period in the prior year. Additionally, salaries for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 were $104,000 as compared to $63,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase in salaries is primarily due to the discontinuation of the salary reduction program put in place in August 2009 for all salaried employees other than Mr. Podolski, the Company's President and CEO, and Mr. Podolski's salary was revised to a 25% reduction.
G&A operating and occupancy expenses, which include expenses to operate as a public company, decreased 15% or approximately $77,000 to $439,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $516,000 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in professional services.
As of March 31, 2011 we had 11,976,209 shares of common stock outstanding.
