Exhibit 99.1
Repros Therapeutics Inc.® Reports Fourth Quarter and Year End 2016 Financial Results
THE WOODLANDS, Texas, March 31, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Repros Therapeutics Inc.® (Nasdaq:RPRX) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2016.
Financial Results
Net loss for the three month period ended December 31, 2016, was ($4.0) million or ($0.16) per share as compared to a net loss of ($6.3) million or ($0.26) per share for the same period in 2015. The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2016, was ($17.3) million or ($0.70) per share as compared to a net loss of ($29.2) million or ($1.20) per share for 2015. The decrease in net loss for both periods was primarily due to decreased clinical development expenses related to the Company’s product candidates, as well as decreases in non-cash stock based compensation, payroll and legal expenses.
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses decreased 47%, or approximately $11.4 million, to $12.8 million for the full year 2016 as compared to $24.1 million for 2015. The decrease was primarily due to decreased clinical development costs related to our enclomiphene product candidate. Payroll and benefits expenses decreased 47%, or approximately $2.4 million, to $2.7 million for the full year 2016 as compared to $5.2 million for 2015. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in non-cash stock based compensation expense of $1.4 million and a reduction in R&D headcount resulting in a decrease in salaries of $901,000, including a bonus awarded to R&D personnel in 2015 in the amount of $338,000. Included in R&D payroll and benefits expense is a charge for non-cash stock based compensation expense of $669,000 for 2016 as compared to $2.1 million for 2015. R&D operating and occupancy decreased 40%, or approximately $1.8 million, to $2.7 million for 2016 as compared to $4.5 million for 2015. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in legal and travel expenses.
General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses decreased 10%, or approximately $520,000, to $4.6 million for 2016 as compared to $5.1 million for 2015. G&A payroll and benefits expense decreased 12%, or approximately $386,000, to $2.9 million for 2016 as compared to $3.2 million for 2015. Included in payroll and benefits expense is a charge for non-cash stock based compensation expense of $1.3 million for 2016 as compared to $1.6 million for 2015. Additionally, salaries for both 2016 and 2015 were $1.4 million. G&A operating and occupancy expense, which includes expenses to operate as a public company, decreased 7%, or approximately $134,000, to $1.7 million for 2016 as compared to $1.8 million for 2015. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in professional services costs.
Total revenues and other income, which consisted solely of interest income, was $47,000 in 2016 as compared to $11,000 for 2015. The increase was due to higher yields in 2016 as compared to 2015.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $8.7 million as of December 31, 2016 as compared to $21.4 million as of December 31, 2015. Net cash of approximately $15.6 million was used in operating activities during 2016 as compared to $25.3 million for 2015. The major use of cash for operating activities during 2016 was to fund our clinical development programs and associated administrative costs. Cash used in investing activities was zero during 2016 and 2015. Cash provided by financing activities during 2016 was $2.9 million due to 1,506,808 ATM Shares sold at a weighted average price of $1.91, net of related expenses. Cash provided by financing activities during 2015 was $102,000 due to the receipt of $102,000 from a former 10% shareholder to the Company in accordance with Section 16(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
As of December 31, 2016 we had 25,826,252 shares of common stock outstanding.
