CytomX Announces Second Quarter 2016 Financial Results
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., August 3, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CytomX Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq:CTMX), a biopharmaceutical company developing investigational Probody therapeutics for the treatment of cancer, today reported second quarter 2016 financial results.
"We achieved all targeted milestones in our pipeline this quarter as we continue to execute and drive our lead, wholly-owned programs towards the clinic," said Sean McCarthy, D.Phil., president and chief executive officer of CytomX Therapeutics. "With our transformational Probody technology platform, CytomX intends to unlock the full potential of antibody therapeutics by bringing new and differentiated treatment options to cancer patients."
As of June 30, 2016, CytomX had cash and cash equivalents and investments of $195.8 million. The Company continues to expect full year net cash utilization of $20.0 to $25.0 million in 2016. Based upon its current operating plan, the Company expects its existing capital resources will be sufficient to fund operations through 2018.

Second Quarter Financial Results
Cash, cash equivalents and investments totaled $195.8 million as of June 30, 2016, compared to $186.7 million as of December 31, 2015. The increase reflects a $30.0 million upfront payment received from AbbVie in connection with the collaboration agreements entered in April 2016, a $10.0 million milestone payment received from Bristol-Myers Squibb in connection with its third target selection in January 2016, partially offset by cash used in operations.
Research and development expenses were $12.7 million for the second quarter of 2016, compared to $5.0 million for the second quarter of 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to $3.8 million in manufacturing costs for the Company's CX-072 and CX-2009 programs in preparation for preclinical and clinical studies, $1.5 million in laboratory and professional services, $0.9 million in non-cash stock-based compensation due to higher stock valuation, $0.9 million in personnel-related expenses due to an increase in headcount and $0.5 million in royalty payments to a third party triggered by the upfront payment in connection with the AbbVie collaboration agreement. The Company expects the manufacturing costs for the two programs to decrease in the third quarter and the costs
related to preparation for CX-072 clinical trials to increase.
General and administrative expenses were $4.6 million for the second quarter of 2016, compared to $2.6 million for the second quarter of 2015. The increase was predominantly due to $0.9 million in non-cash stock based compensation due to higher stock valuation, $0.8 million in personnel-related expenses due to an increase in headcount and $0.4 million in additional consulting and professional service expenses associated with operating as a public company.
About CytomX Therapeutics
CytomX is an oncology-focused biopharmaceutical company pioneering a novel class of investigational antibody therapeutics based on its Probody technology platform. The company uses the platform to create proprietary cancer immunotherapies against clinically-validated targets, as well as to develop first-in-class investigational cancer therapeutics against novel targets. CytomX believes that its Probody platform has the potential to improve the combined efficacy and safety profile of monoclonal antibody modalities, including cancer immunotherapies, antibody drug conjugates and T-cell-recruiting bispecific antibodies. Probody therapeutics are designed to take advantage of unique conditions in the tumor microenvironment to enhance the tumor-targeting features of an antibody and reduce drug activity in healthy tissues. The company's investigational Probody therapeutics address clinically-validated cancer targets in immuno-oncology, such as PD-L1, against which the clinical candidate CX-072 is directed, as well as novel targets, such as CD-166, that are difficult to drug without causing damage to healthy tissues. In addition to its proprietary programs, CytomX is collaborating with strategic partners including AbbVie, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Pfizer Inc., MD Anderson Cancer Center, and ImmunoGen, Inc.
