Scorpius Holdings, Inc (NYSE
American: SCPX) (“Scorpius” or “the
Company”), an integrated contract development and manufacturing
organization (“CDMO”), today provided strategic, financial, and
operational updates for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.
Jeff Wolf, CEO of Scorpius Holdings, Inc., stated, “We are
extremely proud of the progress Scorpius achieved in the second
quarter of 2024. Despite facing a quarter with significant working
capital challenges, our revenues still increased by 16% and we
reduced our operating expenses by 25% over the same period last
year. With our recently completed financing, we now have a much
stronger balance sheet to capitalize on a number of exciting
projects in front of us. We anticipate this funding will not only
allow us to accelerate our revenue growth but should enable us to
achieve our goal of positive cash flow.”
“Our success this year highlights the significant progress we’ve
made in both innovation and customer-focused program management
across our service platforms. This progress is most clearly
reflected in the strength of our pipeline, which now surpasses $100
million in weighted opportunities across the government and
manufacturing sectors. We anticipate closing many of these
opportunities by year’s end. As we look ahead, we are confident in
our ability to sustain this momentum as we continue to execute our
strategic initiatives and deliver value to our shareholders.”
Second Quarter 2024 Financial
Results
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the
Company recognized $0.8 million of revenue, primarily from process
development, compared to $0.7 million of process development
revenue recognized in the 2023 comparable quarter. The increase in
process development revenue is attributable to the completion of
services over a larger number of customer contracts.
Cost of revenues were $0.8 million and $0.4
million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023,
respectively, and primarily consisted of the direct cost of labor,
overhead and material costs at Scorpius. The increase in cost of
revenues is due to the expanded service offerings and completed
milestone work on multiple CDMO contracts.
Research and development expenses were $3.6
million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $5.2
million for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
were $5.0 million and $7.0 million for the three months ended June
30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The decrease of $2.0 million was
primarily due to decreases in consultant services of $1.1 million,
professional services of $0.4 million, sales and marketing of $0.2
million, and stock-based compensation of $0.3 million.
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, there
was no change in fair value of contingent earn-out receivable,
related party.
Total non-operating expense was ($0.6) million
for the three months ended June 30, 2024, which primarily consisted
of $0.6 million from the loss on disposal of leasehold
improvements, $0.2 million of interest expense on finance leases,
partially offset by $0.2 million from gain on partial
extinguishment of debt. Total non-operating expense was ($0.2)
million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, which primarily
consisted of ($0.2) million of interest expense, ($0.1) million of
loss on disposal of equipment, partially offset by ($0.1) million
of interest income.
Net loss attributable to Scorpius was
approximately $8.9 million, or ($26.98) per basic and diluted
share, for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to
approximately $13.9 million, or ($106.67) per basic and diluted
share, for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
