Gamida Cell Ltd. (the “Company”) is hereby providing information with respect to its financial performance for the three months ended September 30, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”). The Company reported net losses amounting to $9.7 million during the reporting period compared to net losses of $3.9 million during the third quarter of 2017. These increases are primarily the result of the Company’s increase in research and development expenses, increase in clinical trial expenses, and increase in general and administrative expenses resulting from the increased payroll and share-based payment.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale financial assets, short-term deposits and restricted deposits as of September 30, 2018 were $23.7 million in the aggregate.
