Management Commentary

Robert Leasure Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The fourth quarter was productive for Inotiv, including completing previously announced site optimization plans, some recovery of NHP sales with existing and new customers, raising capital and amending our credit agreement. Going forward, we are planning further integration and cost reduction initiatives, we will continue to focus on improving the customer experience, and we will continue to evaluate opportunities to improve our balance sheet. We look forward to seeing results from initiatives we have implemented during the last two years. Moreover, addressing the challenges we have faced over the past two years has made many aspects of our business stronger.

“Overall, with the exception of the volatility we saw in the NHP business in 2024, we have seen financial improvements in some other aspects of our business. In addition to improving our financial performance, our goals for 2025 include reducing volatility in our NHP business and a continued focus on the customer, compliance and animal welfare. We will continue our customer-driven strategy that has a strong scientific foundation and fuels innovation as One Inotiv. We’ve grown stronger, adding key partners and building new services and products that have expanded our scientific expertise, services, and offerings. By integrating these efforts over the last two years, we’re streamlining our systems and processes to create a more unified customer driven approach across our global footprint.”

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2024 Financial Results (Three Months Ended September 30, 2024)

Revenue decreased 7.3% to $130.4 million in Q4 FY 2024 as compared to $140.7 million in Q4 FY 2023. The lower total revenue in the fourth quarter was driven by a $5.6 million decrease in DSA revenue and a $4.7 million decrease in RMS revenue. DSA revenues decreased primarily due to a decrease in safety assessment services of $3.4 million, which was primarily due to decreased revenue from general toxicology services as a result of a change in the mix of studies conducted, and a decrease in discovery service revenue of $2.0 million as a result of the decline in overall biotech activity in the market. The decrease in RMS revenue was due to the lower non-human primate (“NHP”) related product and service revenue of $1.6 million mainly as a result of lower pricing for NHPs. Additionally, in Q4 FY 2024, there was a decrease of $1.7 million in RMS revenue as a result of the sale of our Israeli businesses in Q4 FY 2023. The remaining decrease in RMS revenue in Q4 FY 2024 was primarily due to a decline in small animal model sales.

Operating loss was $13.2 million in Q4 FY 2024 as compared to operating income of $2.5 million in Q4 FY 2023. RMS operating income decreased by $10.7 million, or 91.1%, driven by the decrease in revenue discussed above and an increase in cost of revenue of $6.8 million. The increased RMS cost of revenue was primarily due to increased costs associated with NHP-related product and service revenue of $10.4 million, partially offset by decreases from the impact of the sale of our Israeli business of $1.2 million, as well as decreases in restructuring costs, transportation costs and costs related to sites closed in connection with our optimization plan. DSA operating income decreased by $4.8 million, or 71.5%, primarily due to the decrease in revenue noted above.


Full Year Fiscal 2024 Financial Results (Twelve Months Ended September 30, 2024)

Revenue decreased 14.3% to $490.7 million in FY 2024 as compared to $572.4 million in FY 2023. The lower total revenue in FY 2024 was primarily driven by a $76.7 million decrease in RMS revenue and a decrease in DSA revenue of $5.0 million. The decrease in RMS revenue was due primarily to the negative impact of lower NHP sales of $60.4 million. Additionally, there was a decrease of $10.6 million in RMS revenue as a result of the sale of our Israeli businesses in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. The remaining decrease in RMS revenue in FY 2024 was due primarily to decreases in small animal model sales and RMS services in the U.S., partially offset by an increase in diet, bedding and enrichment product sales and an increase in small animal model sales outside of the U.S. and RMS services outside of the U.S. The decrease in DSA revenue in FY 2024 was primarily driven by a $5.0 million decrease in discovery services revenue as a result of the decline in overall biotech activity in the market.

Operating loss was $86.4 million in FY 2024 as compared to $81.5 million in FY 2023. The higher total operating loss in FY 2024 was due to an increase in RMS operating loss of $7.0 million and a decrease in DSA operating income of $6.5 million, partially offset by a decrease in unallocated corporate expenses of $8.6 million. The increase in RMS operating loss was primarily driven by the negative margin impact resulting from the decrease in RMS revenue noted above and included the $28.5 million charge incurred during FY 2024 related to the Resolution Agreement and Plea Agreement, partially offset by the $66.4 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to our RMS segment in FY 2023 that did not recur in FY 2024. DSA operating income decreased primarily due to the decreased revenue noted above. Unallocated corporate expenses decreased primarily due to decreases in professional fees, acquisition and integration costs, stock compensation expense and compensation and benefits expense, partially offset by an increase in information technology expenses.

Cash and cash equivalents of $21.4 million at September 30, 2024, compares to $35.5 million at September 30, 2023. Cash used by operating activities was $6.8 million for FY 2024, which included payments of $6.5 million related to the Resolution Agreement and the Plea Agreement, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $27.9 million for FY 2023. For FY 2024, capital expenditures totaled $22.3 million compared to $27.5 million for FY 2023. Total debt, net of debt issuance costs, as of September 30, 2024, was $393.3 million. As of September 30, 2024, there were no borrowings on the Company’s $15.0 million revolving credit facility.

Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue for the three and twelve months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and selected business segment information for those periods. Adjusted EBITDA as reported herein refers to a financial measure that excludes from consolidated net loss, statements of operations line items interest expense and income tax benefit/provision, as well as non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, stock compensation expense, acquisition and integration costs, startup costs, restructuring costs, unrealized foreign exchange (gain) loss, amortization of inventory step up, (gain) loss on disposition of assets, other unusual, third party costs, the charge in connection with the Resolution and Plea Agreements, gain on sale of subsidiary, gain on extinguishment of debt, and goodwill impairment loss. The adjusted business segment information excludes from operating loss and unallocated corporate operating expenses for these same expenses. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in this press release.

The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors. Among other things, they may help investors evaluate the Company’s ongoing operations. They can assist in making meaningful period-over-period comparisons and in identifying operating trends that would otherwise be masked or distorted by the items subject to the adjustments. Management uses these non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate the performance of the business, including to allocate resources. Investors should consider these non-GAAP measures as supplemental and in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Management has chosen to provide this supplemental information to investors, analysts, and other interested parties to enable them to perform additional analyses of our results and to illustrate our results giving effect to the non-GAAP adjustments. Management strongly encourages investors to review the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and cautions investors that the non-GAAP measures used by the Company may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures.

Qurate Retail, Inc. Transfers Equity Listing to the Nasdaq Capital Market

Qurate Retail, Inc. Transfers Equity Listing to the Nasdaq Capital Market

ENGLEWOOD, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Qurate Retail, Inc. (“Qurate Retail” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: QRTEA, QRTEB, QRTEP) announced that it received approval from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) to transfer the listing of the Company’s Series A common stock (“QRTEA”), Series B common stock, and 8.0% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Securities”) from the Nasdaq Global Select Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market. The listing of the Company’s Securities was transferred to the Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of business on December 2, 2024. This follows the notice received from Nasdaq on June 10, 2024 that, based on the closing bid price for QRTEA for 30 consecutive business days, Qurate Retail no longer complied with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”).

Qurate Retail will be listed and traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market from December 2, 2024 through December 9, 2024 (the initial compliance date by which Qurate Retail was required to satisfy the Minimum Bid Price Requirement), following which Nasdaq may grant the company (subject to its compliance with the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, other than the Minimum Bid Price Requirement) an additional 180-day extension to comply with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, during which time Qurate would continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “New Compliance Period”). Qurate Retail has also confirmed to Nasdaq that it will effect a reverse stock split if necessary to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement prior to the expiration of the New Compliance Period. If at any time before the expiration of the New Compliance Period, if granted by Nasdaq, the bid price of QRTEA is at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written confirmation of compliance for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

There can be no assurance that Qurate Retail will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or will otherwise be in compliance with other applicable Nasdaq listing criteria, generally or for purposes of qualifying for an additional 180-day compliance period, or that Qurate Retail will be able to successfully implement a reverse stock split if it decides to pursue one.

Qurate Retail does not anticipate a material impact on its equity trading as a result of the transfer of listing. The Company does not intend to reapply for listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market in the near term.

Qurate Retail, Inc. is a Fortune 500 company comprised of six leading retail brands – QVC®, HSN®, Ballard Designs®, Frontgate®, Garnet Hill® and Grandin Road® (collectively, “Qurate Retail GroupSM”).

Beyond Cancer Announces Approval by the Israeli Ministry of Health to Conduct a Phase 1b Clinical Trial Utilizing Low Volume Ultra-High Concentration Nitric Oxide (LV UNO) in Combination with Anti-PD-1 Therapy

  • The Phase 1b study will evaluate LV UNO in unresectable cutaneous or subcutaneous histologically confirmed primary or metastatic solid tumor cancer patients that have progressed or have prolonged stable disease on single agent PD-1 inhibitors
  • The primary objective of the Phase 1b study is to assess preliminary efficacy by objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR) per RECIST version 1.1 and secondarily immune-related response via iRECIST
  • The study will recruit patients from four sites across Israel

HAMILTON, Bermuda, Dec. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Beyond Cancer, Ltd., a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing ultra-high concentration nitric oxide (UNO) as an immunotherapeutic for solid tumors, today announced that the Israeli Ministry of Health (IMOH) has approved the use of Low Volume UNO (LV UNO) in a Phase 1b clinical trial of LV UNO in combination with anti-PD-1 therapy. The trial will be conducted at four sites in Israel and patient screening will begin in the first quarter of 2025.

The Phase 1b trial (NCT05351502) is a clinical proof-of-concept trial that will assess the intratumoral administration of LV UNO in patients with unresectable cutaneous or subcutaneous histologically confirmed primary or metastatic lesions, who have shown disease progression or prolonged stable disease (≥ 12 weeks) after receiving a single agent anti-PD-1 containing treatment. The trial, which is expected to enroll up to 20 subjects, is designed to assess the preliminary efficacy of LV UNO by objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR) per RECIST v1.1 and secondarily immune-related response via iRECIST. Safety and tolerability of LV UNO in combination with anti-PD-1 therapy, as well as its potential to enhance the type, density, and distribution of immune cells within the tumor microenvironment will also be observed. Topline data from the Phase 1b portion of the study are anticipated in the second half of 2025.

“We are excited to initiate the Phase 1b trial of LV UNO, a potentially groundbreaking solid tumor treatment approach, in combination with PD-1 inhibitors,” said Dr. Jedidiah Monson, Chief Medical Officer of Beyond Cancer. “In preclinical studies, a single dose of UNO has been shown to increase PD-L1 expression and improve overall survival in animal models compared to anti-PD-1 alone. Further, Phase 1a human data that demonstrated immune system activation were presented at ASCO’s Key Opinion Leader Event held in June 2024. We look forward to the Phase 1b trial results to establish the basis of further investigation of UNO in combination with PD-1 inhibitors.”

“The initiation of the Phase 1b trial represents a major step forward in our vision for personalized cancer treatment. We see UNO as a complementary therapy for future cancer treatment paradigms, particularly for patients with anti-PD-1 refractory or resistant disease, potentially offering more patients access to effective treatment,” stated Dr. Selena Chaisson, Chief Executive Officer, and Director of Beyond Cancer.

About Nitric Oxide

Nitric Oxide (NO) is a potent molecule, naturally synthesized in the human body, proven to play a critical role in a broad array of biological functions. In the airways, NO targets the vascular smooth muscle cells that surround the small resistance arteries in the lungs. Currently, exogenous inhaled NO is used in adult respiratory distress syndrome, post certain cardiac surgeries and persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn to treat hypoxemia. Additionally, NO is believed to play a key role in the innate immune system and in vitro studies suggest that NO possesses anti-microbial activity not only against common bacteria, including both gram-positive and gram-negative, but also against other diverse pathogens.

About UNO Therapy for Solid Tumors

Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally, with tumor metastases responsible for approximately 90% of all cancer-related deaths. Current cancer treatment modalities generally include chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation, and/or surgery. Ultra-high concentration Nitric Oxide (UNO) therapy is a completely new approach to preventing relapse or metastatic disease. In vitro murine data show that local tumor ablation with UNO stimulates an anti-tumor immune response in solid tumor cancer models. Beyond Cancer, Ltd. believes that UNO has the potential to prevent relapse or metastatic disease with as little as a single 5-minute treatment and with limited toxicity or off-target effects.

About Beyond Cancer, Ltd.

Beyond Cancer, Ltd. is a development-stage biopharmaceutical and medical device company utilizing ultra-high concentration nitric oxide (UNO) via a proprietary delivery platform to treat primary tumors and prevent metastatic disease. Nitric oxide at ultra-high concentrations has been reported to show anticancer properties and to potentially serve as a chemosensitizer and radiotherapy enhancer. A first-in-human study is underway in patients with solid tumors. Beyond Cancer is also conducting preclinical studies of UNO in multiple solid tumor models to inform additional treatment protocols.
