ALAMEDA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 2, 2018-- BioTime, Inc. (NYSE American: BTX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on degenerative diseases, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018 and recent corporate accomplishments.

“BioTime’s execution in the second quarter demonstrates the strength of our strategy. Our focus on clinical progress has accelerated our product development of our core programs. With our non-core programs, we have, in fewer than two years, generated over $43.2 million in non-dilutive funding for BioTime, which will help fund our core programs, and created a valuable asset that we will be distributing to our shareholders,” said Adi Mohanty, Co-Chief Executive Officer of BioTime. “We expect this expanded relationship between AgeX and Juvenescence may lead to one of the most compelling organizations in the field of aging.”

Second Quarter Highlights and Financial Results

Corporate Highlights

• BioTime to receive $43.2 million from Juvenescence. Under the terms of the agreement, Juvenescence will purchase, in a single transaction, 14.4 million shares of AgeX Therapeutics from BioTime for $43.2 million. 50% of the purchase price will be paid to BioTime in cash and the remaining 50% will be a 2-year convertible/redeemable note with an annual interest rate of 7%, payable at maturity. If not converted into Juvenescence stock earlier upon an IPO, at maturity BioTime will have the option of receiving its payment in cash or by converting the note and accrued interest into Juvenescence stock.
• BioTime announced the distribution ratio for the upcoming distribution of AgeX. BioTime shareholders will receive one share of AgeX common stock for every 10 shares of BioTime common stock held.
• AgeX closed a $5 million equity financing, through the sale of two million AgeX common shares to Juvenescence.
• BioTime announced the submission of the draft registration statement for the proposed distribution of AgeX. The record date of July 31, 2018 for the distribution of AgeX was set by the BioTime Board of Directors.
• BioTime licensed one of its pluripotent cell lines to Goliver Therapeutics, a France-based company focused on addressing liver diseases with regenerative technologies. BioTime cell lines are thoroughly characterized and NIH-registered. They include all necessary donor history and documentation.

Clinical Progress Highlights

Renevia^® (Facial Lipoatrophy)

• BioTime continued discussions with European regulatory authorities regarding Renevia’s^® CE Mark in Europe. Expected Renevia^® CE Mark approval remains Q4 2018.
• BioTime announced the start of an investigator-led study of Premvia^™ designed and conducted by Dr. Gordon H. Sasaki. The study will focus on safety and performance of Premvia^™, in combination with the patient’s own fat, for the treatment of volume augmentation in the hands. Premvia^™ is a medical device that has 510(k) clearance in the U.S. for wound management. It has the same components as Renevia^®, BioTime’s investigational medical device that is being developed as an alternative for fat grafting procedures.

OpRegen^® (dry-AMD)

• BioTime initiated enrollment and treatment of better vision patients in the fourth cohort of the OpRegen^® clinical trial. OpRegen^® has generally been well tolerated with no unexpected serious adverse events noted to date. Imaging analysis from patients may suggest positive signals of structural improvement in the retina, as we have previously seen in our animal models.
• BioTime successfully transplanted OpRegen^® in the final patient of the third cohort extension.
• BioTime’s subsidiary, Cell Cure Neurosciences Ltd., was awarded a new grant for 2018 of approximately $1.9 million from the Israel Innovation Authority (IIA). The grant provides funding for the continued development of OpRegen^®, and to date the IIA has provided annual grants totaling over $13 million.
• BioTime further expanded the OpRegen^® clinical trial in dry-AMD with the opening of two additional U.S. sites:
  • Byers Eye Institute at Stanford University School of Medicine, Diana V. Do, MD, Professor of Ophthalmology.
  • The Retinal Consultants Medical Group serving northern California, David Telander, MD, PhD.

Retinal Restoration

• BioTime was awarded a grant of approximately $0.7 Million from the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program of the National Institutes of Health. This award constitutes the second-year funding of a $1.6 million SBIR grant to advance BioTime’s innovative, next generation retinal restoration program addressing advanced retinal diseases and injuries.

Second Quarter Financial Results

Cash Position and Marketable Securities: Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $29.2 million as of June 30, 2018, compared to $31.4 million as of March 31, 2018.

Value of Holdings in Public Affiliates: At June 30, 2018, BioTime held common stock in publicly-traded affiliates valued at approximately $66.8 million. This amount was the market value of BioTime’s 21.7 million shares in Asterias Biotherapeutics (NYSE American: AST) and 14.7 million shares in OncoCyte (NYSE American: OCX).

Revenues: BioTime’s revenue is generated primarily from research grants, licensing fees and royalties, and subscription and advertising from the marketing of online database products. Total revenue was $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2018, compared to $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2017, an increase of $2.1 million. The increase in revenue is primarily due to $1.6 million in grant revenue generated from the Israel Innovation Authority and $0.3 million from an SBIR grant from the National Institutes of Health.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, BioTime’s total revenues were $3.2 million compared to $0.8 million in the same period of 2017, an increase of $2.4 million. The increase in revenue was primarily due to $1.7 million in grant revenue generated from the Israel Innovation Authority and $0.6 million from an SBIR grant from the National Institutes of Health.

Operating Expenses: Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2018 were $11.6 million, as reported, which is comprised of $9.1 million for BioTime and $2.5 million for AgeX. Total operating expenses, as adjusted, were $9.4 million, which is comprised of $7.3 million for BioTime and $2.1 million for AgeX.

The reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP operating expenses by entity, is provided in the financial tables included with this earnings release.

R&D Expenses: Second quarter research and development expenses were $6.4 million compared to $6.3 million for the comparable period in 2017. Research and development expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were $13.1 million and $12.8 million, respectively.

G&A Expenses: Second quarter general and administrative expenses were $5.2 million compared to $4.4 million for the comparable period in 2017, an increase of $0.8 million. This increase was primarily attributable to the following: a $0.3 million increase in license and related fees for patent prosecution and patent fees, a $0.2 million increase in noncash stock-based compensation expense primarily due to new stock option grants by AgeX, a $0.3 million increase in legal and compliance fees for the planned distribution of AgeX stock to BioTime shareholders, a $0.4 million increase in consulting, personnel and related costs, and a $0.1 million increase in facilities and maintenance. These increases were offset primarily by a decrease of $0.5 million related to LifeMap Solutions which ceased operations in July 2017.

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2018 were $11.2 million compared to $9.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $1.6 million. This increase was primarily attributable to the following: a $0.9 million increase in legal, audit and compliance costs for the planned distribution of AgeX stock to BioTime shareholders, a $0.5 million increase in noncash stock-based compensation expense primarily due to stock option grants by AgeX, a $0.6 million increase in license and related fees for patent prosecution and patent fees, a $0.8 million increase in consulting, personnel and related costs, and $0.2 million increase in facilities and maintenance. These increases were offset by a decrease of $1.4 million in combined general and administrative expenses related to OncoCyte, which was deconsolidated in February 2017, and LifeMap Solutions, which ceased operations in July 2017.

Net Income or loss attributable to BioTime: Second quarter net loss attributable to BioTime was $4.2 million, or ($0.03) per share, compared to a net loss attributable to BioTime of $11.7 million, or ($0.11) per share, for the second quarter of 2017. Net loss attributable to BioTime for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $67.8 million, or ($0.53) per share, compared to a net income attributable to BioTime of $37.6 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Net income or loss attributable to BioTime was primarily driven by noncash gains and losses in the changes in market values of the Asterias and OncoCyte shares held by BioTime.

About Renevia^®

Renevia^® is an investigational medical device that is being developed as an alternative for whole adipose tissue transfer (fat grafting) procedures. Renevia^® is part of the HyStem^® hydrogel family of proprietary injectable matrices, being developed as devices for various applications and for cell and drug delivery.

About OpRegen^®

OpRegen^®, which is being studied for the treatment of the dry form of AMD, consists of a suspension of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells that are delivered subretinally during a simple intraocular injection. RPE cells are essential components of the back lining of the retina, and function to help nourish the retina including photoreceptors. A proprietary process that drives the differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells is used to generate high purity OpRegen^® RPE cells. OpRegen^® RPE cells are also “xeno-free," meaning that no animal products are used at any point in the derivation and production process. The avoidance of the use of animal products eliminates some potential safety concerns. Preclinical studies in rats have shown that following a single subretinal injection of OpRegen^®, the cells can rapidly organize into its natural monolayer structure in the subretinal space and survive throughout the lifetime of the animal. OpRegen^® is designed to be an “off-the-shelf” allogeneic (non-patient specific) product. Unlike treatments that require multiple, frequent injections into the eye, it is expected that OpRegen^® will be administered in a single procedure. OpRegen^® was granted Fast Track designation from the FDA, which allows more frequent interactions with the agency, and eligibility for accelerated approval and priority review. OpRegen^® is a registered trademark of Cell Cure Neurosciences Ltd., a majority-owned subsidiary of BioTime, Inc.

However, BioTime believes the presentation of non-GAAP total operating expenses and non-GAAP operating expenses, by entity, when viewed in conjunction with our GAAP total operating expenses, and GAAP operating expenses by entity, respectively, is helpful in understanding BioTime’s ongoing operating expenses and its programs within various entities, including BioTime’s programs in clinical development.

Furthermore, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in the aggregate and on an entity basis to establish budgets and operational goals, to manage BioTime’s business and to evaluate its performance and its programs in clinical development.
