Stellar Biotechnologies, Inc. (SBOTF) Significantly Trims Q2, Six-Month Losses on Higher Revenues

Stellar Biotechnologies, a leading manufacturer of Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (“KLH”), an important immune-stimulating protein used in wide-ranging immunotherapeutic markets, Monday posted year-over-year financial improvements for its second fiscal quarter and six months ended March 31, 21015.

“Stellar is pleased to issue this mid-year report which shows increased demand for our products, continued financial prudence, and the positive effect of continued focus on our core KLH business,” Stellar president and CEO Frank Oakes stated in the news release. “As KLH-based technologies advance through clinical development, we are excited to be in this strong position as the opportunities in the KLH market continue to grow.”

Stellar reported a second-quarter 2015 net loss of $426,164, or a loss of $0.01 per basic share, on revenue of $187, 627, a substantial improvement compared to a second-quarter 2014 net loss of $1.4 million, or a loss of $0.02 per share, on revenue of $114,371.

For the six months ended March 31, 2015, Stellar reported a net loss of $1.8 million, or a loss of $0.02 per share, on revenue of $400,288, an improvement over a net loss of $7.0 million, or a loss of $0.09 per basic share, on revenue of $173,196 for the comparable six months of 2014.

Revenue growth for both 2015 periods was due to an increase in customers and associated greater product sales volume.

As of March 31, 2105, Stellar reported cash and cash equivalents of $11.1 million, compared to $13.8 million at September 30, 2014. Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended March 31, 2015, was $2.6 million, compared to $2.6 million for the same period in 2014. The company said it believes current cash will be sufficient to meet estimated working capital requirements and fund planned program development expenditures for at least the next 12 months.

As of March 31, 2015, Stellar had positive shareholders’ equity of $8.9 million and approximately 79.55 million shares outstanding, compared to shareholders’ equity of $10.5 million and approximately 79.42 million shares outstanding at September 30, 2014.
