Exact Sciences (EXAS) Reports Second-Quarter 2010 Financial Results
MADISON, Wis.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Exact Sciences Corp. (Nasdaq: EXAS – News) today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010.
Exact reported total revenues of $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2010, compared to total revenues of $1.3 million during the same period of 2009. Total revenues for the first six months of 2010 were $2.6 million, compared to total revenues of $2.3 million for the same period of 2009.
Exact reported a net loss of ($2.5) million, or ($0.06) a share, for the second quarter of 2010. The company had a net loss of ($2.4) million, or ($0.08) a share, for the same period of 2009. Exact’s net loss for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, was ($4.6) million, or ($0.12) a share, compared to ($6.2) million, or ($0.21) a share, for the same period of 2009.
Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2010 were $3.8 million, compared to $3.7 million for the same period of 2009. Operating expenses for the first six months of 2010 were $7.2 million, compared to $8.6 million for the same period of 2009. Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010, were lower primarily due to one-time expenses incurred during the first quarter of 2009, associated with the company’s strategic transaction with Genzyme, and severance and stock option expense related to last year’s management change.
Exact ended the second quarter of 2010 with cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $37.3 million, compared to $24.3 million at Dec. 31, 2009. The company completed a $17.6 million common stock offering during the quarter.
“We remained focused on our key priorities during the second quarter, all of which are a part of our mission of making colon cancer eradication possible through an accurate, patient-friendly screening test,” said Kevin T. Conroy, the company’s president and chief executive. “We continue to make refinements to our test. These improvements include a new patient sampling kit, a biomarker panel that provides near universal coverage of cancer and precancer, and an improved DNA detection method that enables greater sensitivity and specificity.”
“Our validation study remains on track and we look forward to announcing the results of the study and discussing the performance of our test at the American Association of Cancer Research meeting in Philadelphia on October 29. In the meantime, we’re excited to be sharing new data today at the American Association of Clinical Chemistry meeting demonstrating that our quantitative detection chemistry detected 100 percent of colorectal cancers and precancers in a preliminary study with colorectal tissue,” Mr. Conroy said.
