India Globalization Capital, Inc. (“IGC” or the “Company”) (NYSE
American: IGC) announces its financial results for Fiscal Year
Ended March 31, 2022.
Highlights for Fiscal 2022:
- IGC completed the first-in-human safety and tolerability trial
on its tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) based investigational new drug
IGC-AD1. During the trial, the Company discovered positive signals
for improving several neuropsychiatric symptoms including agitation
in dementia associated with Alzheimer’s. Based on these signals, we
are initiating a larger efficacy trial to test IGC-AD1 as a symptom
modifying agent, specifically on agitation in dementia due to
Alzheimer’s disease.
- The Company recently acquired rights to a family of naphthalene
monoimide (“NMI”) molecules. TGR-63, a lead NMI molecule, is an
enzyme inhibitor that has been shown in pre-clinical trials to
reduce neurotoxicity in Alzheimer’s cell lines and improve memory
in an Alzheimer’s mouse model. Subject to further study, research,
and development, TGR-63 could give the Company a potential disease
modifying agent and help expand the Company’s pursuit of a drug
that can potentially treat or modify Alzheimer’s.
- The Company licensed a patent filing from the University of
South Florida titled “Ultra-Low dose THC as a potential therapeutic
and prophylactic agent for Alzheimer’s Disease.” The U.S. Patent
and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) issued a patent (#11,065,225) for
this filing on July 20, 2021. The granted patent relates to IGC’s
proprietary formulation, IGC-AD1, intended to assist in the
treatment of individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease.
- On June 7, 2022, the USPTO issued a patent (#11,351,152) to the
Company titled “Method and Composition for Treating Seizures
Disorders.” The patent relates to compositions and methods for
treating multiple types of seizure disorders and epilepsy in humans
and animals using a combination of cannabidiol (CBD) with other
compounds. Subject to further research and study, the combination
is intended to reduce side effects caused by hydantoin
anticonvulsant drugs such as phenobarbital, by reducing the dosing
of anticonvulsant drugs in humans, dogs, and cats.
Revenue was approximately $397 thousand and $898 thousand for
Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021, respectively. In Fiscal 2022 and
Fiscal 2021, revenue was primarily derived from our Life Sciences
segment, which involved sales of in-house brands and alcohol-based
hand sanitizers, among others. In Fiscal 2022, we de-emphasized the
manufacturing and sale of low margin hand sanitizers and shifted
our focus to higher margin white label services and the sale of
products under our brands. This increased our gross margin from 12%
in Fiscal 2021 to 48% in Fiscal 2022. The infrastructure segment
had lower revenue in Fiscal 2022 due to the continued impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic.
Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses
consist primarily of employee-related expenses, sales commission,
professional fees, legal fees, marketing, other corporate expenses,
allocated general overhead and provisions, depreciation, and write
offs relating to doubtful accounts and advances, if any. SG&A
expenses increased by approximately $5.3 million or 68% to $13.2
million for Fiscal 2022, from approximately $7.9 million for Fiscal
2021. The increase is attributed to one-time expenses, which
include law-suit settlement expenses of approximately $264
thousand; impairment of facility of $833 thousand; net realizable
value (NRV) adjustment of $1.7 million for our hemp crop;
approximately $475 thousand in provisions for advances paid;
approximately $1.7 million in provisions against inventory that was
stolen at our vendor’s facility; and an increase of approximately
$1.3 million attributable to non-cash expenses. Adjusting for
approximately $5.3 million in one-time and non-cash expenses, the
SG&A for fiscal year 2022 was lower year over year by
approximately $500 thousand.
Research and Development (“R&D”) expenses were attributed to
our Life Sciences segment. The R&D expenses increased by
approximately $1.4 million or 151% to $2.3 million in Fiscal 2022,
from approximately $929 thousand for Fiscal 2021. The increase is
attributed to the now completed Phase 1 clinical trial on
Alzheimer’s. We expect R&D expenses to increase with
progression in Phase 2 trials on IGC-AD1 and pre-clinical trials on
TGR-63.
Net loss for Fiscal 2022 was approximately $15 million or $0.30
per share, compared to approximately $8.8 million or $0.21 per
share for Fiscal 2021. Adjusting for approximately $5.3 million in
one-time and non-cash expenses, the net loss is approximately $9.7
million in Fiscal 2022.
