Century Therapeutics Reports Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results and Provides Business Updates

 

– Company remains on track to report initial data from Schedule A of the ongoing Phase 1 ELiPSE-1 trial of CNTY-101 in relapsed/refractory CD19 positive B-cell lymphomas by year end –

 

– Ended second quarter 2023 with cash, cash equivalents, and investments of $301.0 million; Cash runway expected into 2026 –

 

PHILADELPHIA, August 9, 2023 -- Century Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: IPSC), an innovative clinical-stage biotechnology company developing induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cell therapies in immuno-oncology, today reported financial results and business highlights for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

 

“Here at Century we have continued to focus on the further advancement of our pipeline, specifically our ELiPSE-1 Phase 1 trial evaluating CNTY-101 in relapsed or refractory CD19 positive B-cell lymphomas, for which we expect to report initial data from Schedule A by year end,” said Greg Russotti, Ph.D., Interim Chief Executive Officer, Century Therapeutics. “We remain confident in our differentiated scientific approach and are looking forward to spending the second half of this year working towards solidifying our position as an innovative leader in the cell therapy space.”

 

Business Highlights & Upcoming Milestones

 

The first-in-human Phase 1 ELiPSE-1 trial evaluating CNTY-101 in relapsed or refractory CD19 positive B-cell lymphomas is ongoing. The Company remains on track to report preliminary data from Schedule A of the trial, including pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety, by year end.

 

At the American Society for Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in June 2023, the Company presented a Trials in Progress poster related to its Phase 1 ELiPSE-1 trial. A copy of the poster, titled, “The ELiPSE-1 Study: A Phase 1 Multicenter Open-Label Study of CNTY-101 in Subjects with Relapsed or Refractory CD19-Positive B Cell Malignancies”, is available on the Posters section of Century’s website at https://www.centurytx.com/science/.

 

Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

 

Cash Position: Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities were $301.0 million as of June 30, 2023, as compared to $367.4 million as of December 31, 2022. Net cash used in operations was $48.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to net cash provided by operations of $61.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 (which includes deferred revenue from the Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) collaboration of $120.7 million).

 

 

 

 

Collaboration Revenue: Collaboration revenue generated through the Company’s collaboration, option and license agreement with BMS was $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 2022.

 

Research and Development (R&D) expenses: R&D expenses were $22.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $24.5 million for the same period in 2022. The decrease in R&D expenses was primarily due to the reduction in force in January of 2023.

 

General and Administrative (G&A) expenses: G&A expenses were $8.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $8.3 million for the same period in 2022. The decrease in G&A expenses was primarily due to a reduction in headcount.

 

Impairment of long lived assets: A one-time impairment charge of $4.2 million was recorded in connection with the strategic decision to consolidate two of the Company’s existing leased facilities in Philadelphia.

 

Net loss: Net loss was $33.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $31.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

 

Financial Guidance

 

The Company expects full year generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) operating expenses to be between $135 million and $145 million, including non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $12 million to $17 million.

 

The Company estimates its cash, cash equivalents, and investments will support operations into 2026.
