GERMANTOWN, Md., Aug. 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Intrexon Corporation (NYSE: XON), a leader in the engineering and industrialization of biology to improve the quality of life and health of the planet, today announced its second quarter and first half financial results for 2017.
Business Highlights and Recent Developments:
Second Quarter 2017 Financial Highlights:
First Half 2017 Financial Highlights:
"Through the first half of 2017, the Company has furthered its leadership position in engineered biology, and its efforts have translated into a stable and persistent machine that draws from multiple, world-leading technology platforms to generate high-value solutions addressing significant needs across multiple sectors. That so much may be accomplished on a modest expenditure of our shareholder capital is a testament to our unique business and organizational models and to the quality and dedication of our team," commented Randal J. Kirk, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Intrexon.
"Looking to the remainder of this year, we expect to see accelerated rollout of our Friendly™ Aedes solution, the commercial launch of Arctic® apples, the initiation of additional innovative gene and cell therapy trials along with data from existing trials, and progress of several types in our methane bioconversion platform, in crop protection, in AquAdvantage® Salmon production as well as in numerous other areas in which our team is engaged. Moreover, while executing on our existing programs always is our top priority, we are very pleased by the resurgence of interest in our space and the shifting away from the incrementalism that has until recently featured so strongly among many commercial-stage companies that operate in the sectors in which we are active," concluded Mr. Kirk.
Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results Compared to Prior Year Period
Total revenues increased $1.9 million, or 4%, over the quarter ended June 30, 2016. Collaboration and licensing revenues increased $0.7 million from the quarter ended June 30, 2016 due to the recognition of deferred revenue associated with the payment received in June 2016 from ZIOPHARM to amend the collaborations between the parties which was partially offset by a decrease in research and development services as the Company temporarily redeployed certain resources towards supporting prospective new platforms and additional collaborations. Product revenues decreased $0.9 million, or 8%, primarily due to a decrease in the quantities of pregnant cows and live calves sold due to lower customer demand for these products. Gross margin on products improved in the current period primarily due to a decline in the average cost of cows. Service revenues increased $2.0 million, or 14%, due to an increase in the number of bovine in vitro fertilization cycles performed due to higher customer demand. Gross margin on services decreased slightly in the current period primarily due to an increase in royalties and commissions due to vendors.
Research and development expenses increased $5.6 million, or 20%, due primarily to increases in (i) salaries, benefits and other personnel costs for research and development employees, (ii) lab supplies and consulting expenses, and (iii) depreciation and amortization. Salaries, benefits and other personnel costs increased $2.2 million due to an increase in research and development headcount to support new, expanded and prospective collaborations, and to support additional platform technology development. Lab supplies and consulting expenses increased $1.7 million as a result of (i) the progression of certain programs into the preclinical and clinical phases with certain of Intrexon's collaborators, and (ii) the expansion or improvement of certain of the Company's platform technologies. Depreciation and amortization increased $1.0 million primarily as a result of the amortization of developed technology acquired from Oxitec. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased $8.6 million, or 28%. Salaries, benefits and other personnel costs increased $6.4 million primarily due to (i) increased headcount to support the Company's expanding operations and (ii) the reversal of previously recognized stock-based compensation expense for departed employees in the quarter ended June 30, 2016. Legal and professional fees increased $1.7 million primarily due to (i) increased legal fees to defend ongoing litigation and (ii) the Company's acquisition of GenVec that was completed in June 2017.
Total other income (expense), net, increased $40.5 million, or 181%. This increase was primarily attributable to (i) increases in fair market value of the Company's equity securities portfolio, investments in preferred stock and other convertible instruments and (ii) dividend income from the Company's investments in preferred stock.
