REVB Revelation Biosciences Inc

Revelation Biosciences Inc. (NASDAQ: REVB) (the “Company” or “Revelation”), a life sciences company that is focused on the development of immunologic based therapies for the prevention and treatment of disease, today reported its three and six months ended June 30, 2023 financial results.

Results of Operations

As of June 30, 2023, Revelation had $15.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $5.3 million as of December 31, 2022. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to net cash received from financing activities, offset primarily by cash used for operating activities. Based on current operating plans and projections, Revelation believes that its current cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to fund operations through June of 2024.

Revelation’s net cash used for operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $3.6 million compared to net cash used for operating activities of $8.5 million for the same period in 2022. Revelation’s net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $1.4 million, or $0.25 basic and diluted net loss per share, compared to a net loss of $1.8 million, or $4.16 basic and diluted net loss per share for the same period in 2022. Revelation’s net income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $4.7 million, or $1.61 basic net earnings per share and $1.53 diluted net earnings per share, compared to a net loss of $8.5 million, or $19.71 basic and diluted net loss per share for the same period in 2022.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to the change in fair value of the warrant liability creating a $8.2 million gain. The changes in net cash used for operating activities and the decrease in net loss in 2023 as compared to 2022 were primarily due to decreased clinical study expenses associated with our Phase 2b viral challenge clinical study (REVTx-99a) and our Phase 1b allergen challenge study (REVTx-99b), legal fees, professional consulting service fees and public company directors and officers insurance policy.
