Second Quarter 2020 Financial Highlights
Cash Position: Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $325.4 million as of June 30, 2020, compared to $122.8 million as of December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to proceeds from the IPO in February 2020. Proceeds from the recently completed offering are not included in the June 30, 2020 cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance.
Revenue: Total revenue, consisting of revenue from the company’s collaboration agreement with Sanofi, was $10.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, compared to $12.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. This decrease was due to lower reimbursed research and development services in the quarter ended June 30, 2020 for RMC-4630 resulting from lower manufacturing costs, which were partially offset by higher clinical trial costs. During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the company incurred upfront manufacturing costs related to the supply of RMC-4630 for our clinical trials.
R&D Expenses: Research and development expenses were $32.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, compared to $20.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. This increase was primarily due to an increase in research expenses associated with the company’s pre-clinical research portfolio, and an increase in personnel-related expenses related to additional headcount, partially offset by lower costs related to RMC-4630.
G&A Expenses: General and administrative expenses were $5.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, compared to $2.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. This increase was primarily due to an increase in expenses associated with operating as a public company.
Net Loss: Net loss was $27.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, compared to net loss of $10.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.
