Zosano Pharma Reports First Quarter 2022 Financial Results

FREMONT, Calif., May 13, 2022 -- Zosano Pharma Corporation (NASDAQ:ZSAN), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022. All share and per share information included in these financial results and statements has been retroactively adjusted to give effect to our April 11, 2022 1-for-35 reverse stock split.

Zosano reported a net loss for the first quarter of 2022 of $33.4 million, or $7.86 per share on a basic and diluted basis, compared with a net loss of $8.1 million, or $2.73 per share on a basic and diluted basis, for the same quarter in 2021.

Research and development expenses for the first quarter of 2022 were $4.5 million, compared with $5.3 million for the same quarter in 2021. The decrease of $0.8 million was primarily due to a decrease of $0.6 million in employee and consulting expenses and $0.3 million in spending for clinical trials, offset by a $0.1 million increase in pre-commercial activities.

General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2022 were $2.9 million compared with $2.8 million for the same quarter in 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $0.5 million in professional service fees to our financial and legal advisors and $0.2 million for services related to a special stockholders’ meeting, offset by $0.6 million in lower employee-related expenses.

The impairment loss of $25.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, consists of the write-down of $24.8 million of property and equipment and $1.1 million of right-of-use assets. The impairment loss was primarily related to the write-down of specialized equipment and related manufacturing space for the commercial manufacture of the company’s suspended M207 program.

As of May 11, 2022, the company had approximately $9.9 million of cash and cash equivalents, compared with $13.5 million and $11.0 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The company will need substantial additional funding to fund its operations and will not be able to continue as a going concern if it is unable to raise additional funds.
