First Quarter Fiscal Year 2018 Financial Results
Palatin reported net income of $10.6 million, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, compared to a net loss of $(13.1) million, or $(0.08) per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2016.
The difference in financial results between the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was primarily attributable to the recognition of $26.9 million in license and contract revenue during the 2017 period pursuant to our license agreement with AMAG and our license agreement with Fosun.
Revenue
For the quarter ended September 30, 2017, Palatin recognized $21.9 million in license and contract revenue related to our license agreement with AMAG and $5.0 million in license revenue related to our license agreement with Fosun.
There were no revenues recorded in the quarter ended September 30, 2016.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 were $15.7 million compared to $12.4 million for the comparable quarter of 2016. The increase in operating expenses was mainly attributable to the continued progress of the development of bremelanotide for HSDD.
Other Income/Expense
Total other expense, net was $0.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 compared to $0.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. Total other expense, net for both periods consisted primarily of interest expense related to Palatin's venture debt.
Income Tax
Pursuant to the license agreement with Fosun, $500,000 was withheld in accordance with tax withholding requirements in China and will be recorded as an expense during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018. For the quarter ended September 30, 2017, Palatin incurred $225,255 in income tax expense utilizing an estimated effective annual income tax rate applied to income for the quarter and the remaining balance of $274,745 was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets at September 30, 2017. Any potential credit to be received by Palatin on its United States tax returns is currently offset by Palatin's valuation allowance.
Cash Position
Palatin's cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and investments were $49.3 million as of September 30, 2017, compared to cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and investments of $55.6 million at June 30, 2017.
