CARLSBAD, CA – March 9, 2023 - Lineage Cell Therapeutics, Inc. (NYSE American and TASE: LCTX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing allogeneic cell therapies for unmet medical needs, today reported financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022 and will host a conference call today at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss these results.
“2022 marked a year of clinical and regulatory execution for the Lineage team, as we worked alongside our partners and internally to advance our clinical and preclinical programs,” stated Brian M. Culley, Lineage CEO. “A significant area of focus last year was our alliance with Roche and Genentech, including supporting the initiation of a Phase 2a clinical study of OpRegen in patients with GA secondary to AMD. We believe we have selected the most capable partner to advance OpRegen and we anticipate that the findings from the Phase 2a study will be highly informative to the OpRegen development program in any future larger, comparative trials. We also made considerable progress expanding and diversifying our pipeline, primarily through the addition of two new cell transplant programs. We believe the learnings from our dry AMD program may prove valuable to our newer product opportunities, which are similarly based on our differentiated cell transplant technology.”
“We also completed key regulatory activities for our OPC1 and VAC2 programs, which help provide insights into their continued development,” Mr. Culley added. “Our corporate objectives for 2023 will be to emphasize the further progression of our allogeneic cell therapy programs, making responsible investments in the expansion of our novel approach to cell transplant medicine in disease settings where we believe we can make a meaningful impact, and the continued support of both our newly established and existing collaborations, all in support of our overarching vision of building Lineage into a leading cell therapy company.”
Other significant milestones achieved in 2022 include:
| - | RG6501 (OpRegen) |
| ○ | Continued execution under our collaboration with Roche and Genentech across multiple functional areas, including support for ongoing Phase 2a clinical study in patients with geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). | |

Balance Sheet Highlights
Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaled $57.9 million as of December 31, 2022, which is expected to support planned operations into Q3 2024.
Fourth Quarter Operating Results
Revenues: Lineage’s revenue is generated primarily from licensing fees, collaboration revenues, royalties, and research grants. Total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2022 were approximately $1.9 million, a net increase of $0.7 million as compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2021. The increase was related to the recognition of deferred collaboration revenues in connection with a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “Roche Agreement”) we entered into with F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd. and Genentech, Inc., a member of the Roche Group (collectively or individually, “Roche” or “Genentech”), in 2021, partially offset by lower royalty and grant revenues.
Operating Expenses: Operating expenses are comprised of research and development (“R&D”) expenses and general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses. Total operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2022 were $8.5 million, a decrease of $20.7 million as compared to $29.2 million for the same period in 2021. The overall decrease was almost entirely driven by a decrease in R&D expenses under the Roche Agreement.
R&D Expenses: R&D expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2022 were $4.1 million, a decrease of $20.7 million as compared to $24.8 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease was substantially driven by the prior year $21.0 million accrual for financial obligations payable to the Israel Innovation Authority (“IIA”) and Hadasit Medical Research Services and Development Ltd (“Hadasit”), in connection with the $50.0 million upfront payment received under the Roche Agreement. This decrease was partially offset by $0.1 million and $0.2 million in higher expenses to support the development of the new photoreceptor and auditory neuron cell therapy program, respectively.
G&A Expenses: G&A expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2022 were $4.3 million, a decrease of $0.1 million as compared to $4.4 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $0.4 million in legal and litigation expenses, partially offset by approximately $0.1 million in higher salaries and related benefit fees, and $0.1 million in higher share-based compensation expense.
Loss from Operations: Loss from operations for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was $6.6 million, a decrease of $21.6 million as compared to $28.2 million for the same period in 2021, principally owing to collaboration-related expense accruals of $21.0 million under the Roche Agreement.
Other Income, Net: Other income, net for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was $0.3 million, compared to other income, net of $0.2 million for the same period in 2021. The net variance was primarily related to offsetting variances between the changes in the value of marketable equity securities, as well as exchange rate fluctuations related to Lineage’s international subsidiaries for the applicable periods.
Net Loss Attributable to Lineage: The net loss attributable to Lineage for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was $6.4 million, or $0.03 per share (basic and diluted), compared to a net loss attributable to Lineage of $29.0 million, or $0.17 per share (basic and diluted), for the same period in 2021.
Full Year Operating Results
Revenues: Lineage’s revenue is generated primarily from licensing fees, collaboration revenues, royalties, and research grants. Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $14.7 million, an increase of $10.4 million as compared to $4.3 million for the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily related to a $12.2 million increase in collaboration revenues recognized from deferred revenues stemming from the $50.0 million upfront payment under the Roche Agreement, partially offset by lower royalty and grant revenues.
Operating Expenses: Operating expenses are comprised of R&D expenses and G&A expenses. Total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $36.5 million, a decrease of $15.6 million as compared to $52.1 million for the same period in 2021.
R&D Expenses: R&D expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $14.0 million, a decrease of $19.9 million as compared to $33.9 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease was substantially driven by the prior year $21.0 million accrual for financial obligations payable to the IIA and Hadasit. This decrease was partially offset by $0.7 million and $0.5 million in R&D spending on the new auditory neuron and photoreceptor cell therapy programs, respectively.
G&A Expenses: G&A expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $22.5 million, an increase of approximately $4.3 million as compared to $18.2 million for the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to increases of $2.1 million in litigation and legal expenses, $1.3 million in salaries and related benefit fees, $0.9 million in share-based compensation expenses, and $0.4 million in audit and tax services, partially offset by $0.5 million in lower investor relations expense.
Loss from Operations: Loss from operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $22.5 million, a decrease of $26.7 million as compared to $49.2 million for the same period in 2021.
Other Income/(Expenses), Net: Other income (expenses), net for the year ended December 31, 2022 reflected other expense, net of ($3.3) million, compared to other income, net of $5.9 million for the same period in 2021. The net variance was primarily related to a prior year gain on sale of marketable equity securities, as well exchange rate fluctuations related to Lineage’s international subsidiaries for the applicable periods.
Net Loss Attributable to Lineage: The net loss attributable to Lineage for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $26.3 million, or $0.15 per share (basic and diluted), compared to a net loss attributable to Lineage of $43.0 million, or $0.26 per share (basic and diluted), for 2021.
