HACKENSACK, NJ / ACCESSWIRE / July 22, 2021 / Champions Oncology, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSBR), engaged in creating transformative technology solutions to be utilized in drug discovery and development, today announced its financial results for the year and fourth fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2021.

Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2021 Financial and Recent Business Highlights:

  • Record annual revenue of $41.0 million, an increase of 28% year-over-year
  • Developed in house computational target discovery expertise to discover novel therapeutic targets
  • Continued expansion of our Lumin SaaS platform

Ronnie Morris, CEO of Champions, commented, "Our year was highlighted by new strategic initiatives that have the potential to be transformative for Champions. This year, we launched our SaaS business and we're encouraged by the early adoption by our customers. As we close out fiscal year 2021, we're excited to announce the expansion of our platforms for use in drug discovery and development. Relying heavily on AI and machine learning algorithms, we're using Lumin's capabilities to interrogate our data sets to discover novel therapeutic targets. Monetizing our unique and comprehensive data set has always been a goal which we've been working towards behind the scenes. Turning the goal into a reality is a significant accomplishment for Champions and we're enthusiastic about its prospects."

David Miller, CFO of Champions added, "FY 2021 was another year of significant financial progress for Champions. We reached a record of $41 million in revenue, representing 28% year over year growth. The stability and growth of our service business has allowed us to invest in new business lines with considerable revenue growth potential."

Fourth Fiscal Quarter Financial Results

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, revenue increased 21% to $10.6 million compared to $8.8 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. The overall increase in revenue was due to increased sales, both in number and size of studies, the growth of our platforms, and an expansion of our product lines. Total costs and operating expenses for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 were $11.0 million compared to $10.7 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, an increase of $293,000 or 3%.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, Champions reported a loss from operations of $456,000, which includes $161,000 in stock-based compensation and $302,000 in depreciation and amortization compared to a loss from operations of $2.0 million, inclusive of $163,000 in stock-based compensation, $246,000 in depreciation and amortization, and goodwill impairment of $335,000, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. Excluding stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization, Champions reported income from operations for the quarter of $7,000 compared to a loss from operations of $1.2 million in the prior year period.

Cost of oncology solutions was $5.7 million for the three months ended April 30, 2021, an increase of $662,000, or 13% compared to $5.0 million for the three months ended April 30, 2020. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to an increase in supply costs in advance of study performance and an increase in rent resulting from lab expansion. For the three months ended April 30, 2021, gross margin was 47% compared to 43% for the three months ended April 30, 2020.

Research and development expense was $2.1 million for the three months ended April 30, 2021 an increase of $251,000, or 14% compared to $1.8 million in the prior year. The increase was due to the investment in our drug discovery program and expanding existing services. Sales and marketing expense for the three months ended April 30, 2021 was $1.5 million, an increase of $384,000, or 35% compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended April 30, 2020. The increase was mainly due to an increase in compensation expenses stemming from the continued expansion of our sales force, including a dedicated Lumin SaaS team. General and administrative expense was $1.8 million for the three months ended April 30, 2021 compared to $2.5 million for the three months ended April 30, 2020, a decrease of $670,000 or 27%. The decrease was mainly attributed to the prior year's one-time remuneration to the CEO for salary not taken in prior years. Excluding this one time, prior year expense, general and administrative expenses increased $80,000 or 5% compared to the prior year period.

Net cash used in operations was $2.0 million for the three months ended April 30, 2021. The decrease in cash from operations was the result of changes in working capital accounts in the ordinary course of business including an increase in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses. The company ended the quarter, and year, in a cash position of $4.7 million and has no debt.

Year-to-Date Financial Results

For the twelve months of fiscal 2021, revenue increased 28% to $41.0 million, as compared to $32.1 million for the twelve months of fiscal 2020. The overall increase in revenue is due to increased sales, both in number and size of studies, and the expansion of both our platform and product lines. For the twelve months of fiscal 2021, total operating expenses increased 20% to $40.7 million, as compared to $34.0 million for the twelve months of fiscal 2020.

For the twelve months ended April 30, 2021, Champions reported net income from operations of $338,000, which includes $598,000 in stock-based compensation and $1.2 million in depreciation and amortization compared to a net loss from operations of $1.9 million, inclusive of $600,000 in stock-based compensation, $825,000 in depreciation and amortization, and goodwill impairment of $335,000, for the twelve months ended April 30, 2020. Excluding stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization, Champions reported operating income of $2.1 million for the twelve months ended April 30, 2021 compared to a loss of $111,000 in the year ago period.

Cost of oncology solutions was $21.5 million for the twelve months ended April 30, 2021 compared to $17.0 million for the twelve months ended April 30, 2020, an increase of $4.5 million or 27%. The increase in cost of oncology services was mainly due to an increase in compensation, supplies, and outsourced lab services expenses. Gross margin was 48% for the twelve months ended April 30, 2021 compared to 47% for the twelve months ended April 30, 2020, and in the current year, was pressured by outsourced lab services.

Research and development expense was $7.2 million for the twelve months ended April 30, 2021 an increase of $1.3 million, or 23% compared to $5.9 million for the twelve months ended April 30, 2020. The increase was mainly due to the investment in new service capabilities and our discovery programs with the increase coming primarily from compensation and lab supply expenses. Sales and marketing expense for the twelve months ended April 30, 2021 was $5.5 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 30% compared to $4.2 million for the twelve months ended April 30, 2020. The increase was mainly due to compensation expense driven by the continued expansion of our business development teams. General and administrative expense was $6.5 million for the twelve months ended April 30, 2021, a decrease of $102,000 or 2% compared to $6.6 million for the twelve months ended April 30, 2020. General and administrative expenses were primarily comprised of compensation, insurance, professional fees, IT, and depreciation and amortization expenses. In 2020, the CEO received a one time remuneration for salary not taken in prior years, resulting in the general and administrative expense decrease in 2021. Excluding the one-time payment, general and administrative expense increased $650,000 which was used to support the overall infrastructure growth of the company.

Net cash used in operations was $1.7 million for the twelve months ended April 30, 2021. Cash used in operations was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses and a decrease in accounts payable. Our accounts payable balance declined even though our total expenses increased. The changes in these working capital accounts occurred in the ordinary course of business.

* Non-GAAP Financial Information

See the attached Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) (Unaudited) for an explanation of the amounts excluded to arrive at non-GAAP net income (loss) and related non-GAAP net income (loss) per share amounts for the three and twelve months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020. Non-GAAP financial measures provide investors and management with supplemental measures of operating performance and trends that facilitate comparisons between periods before and after certain items that would not otherwise be apparent on a GAAP basis. Certain unusual or non-recurring items that management does not believe affect the Company's basic operations do not meet the GAAP definition of unusual or non-recurring items. Non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP income (loss) per share are not, and should not be viewed as a substitute for similar GAAP items. Champions' defines non-GAAP dilutive income (loss) per share amounts as non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding. Champions' definition of non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP diluted income (loss) per share may differ from similarly named measures used by others.
