EAGAN, Minn., March 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Predictive Oncology Inc. (Nasdaq: POAI), a science-driven company leveraging its proprietary artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities, extensive biorepository of tumor samples, Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) laboratory and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) facility, to accelerate oncology drug discovery and enable drug development, today reported financial and operating results for the year ended December 31, 2022, and provided a corporate update. The company reported a net loss of $25.7 million on total net revenue of $1.5 million for the full year.

“I assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer of Predictive Oncology because, as a Board member, I was able to see first-hand the untapped potential of the company’s assets, notably its proprietary PEDAL drug discovery engine, which leverages our proprietary artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities to facilitate more efficient oncologic drug discovery and enable drug development,” said Raymond F. Vennare, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Predictive Oncology. “I believe PEDAL, together with our CLIA lab and vast biorepository of tumor samples and extensive library of pathology slides, represent a unique portfolio of tangible assets capable of delivering real value to biopharmaceutical and drug discovery and development companies, while refining and expanding our intellectual property portfolio. We are in the very early stages of tapping the potential of these assets, which we believe will not only benefit our partners and create sustained value for our shareholders but, ultimately, improve and extend the quality of life of cancer patients on a global scale.”

“I am confident that we are making the right decisions for the right reasons, and at the right time, to drive long-term growth for this Company,” Mr. Vennare concluded.

FY 2022 Financial results

The consolidated reportable segments of Predictive Oncology recorded revenue of $1,505,459 in 2022, compared to $1,420,680 in 2021. Skyline division was responsible for the majority of the revenue, but zPREDICTA showed significant strength in its first full year, generating $352,379 for the year ended December 31, 2022. Our gross profit margin was stable at 66% in both 2021 and 2022.

Operations expense increased by $1,099,860 to $3,798,425 in 2022 compared to $2,698,565 in 2021. The increase in operations expense in 2022 was primarily due to higher payroll costs and higher costs associated with a full year of the expenses associated with the zPREDICTA division as well as some higher costs related to laboratory expenses as well as some increased costs related to laboratory expenses and higher headcount at our Helomics division. Sales and marketing expenses increased as well, growing to $1,358,907 in 2022 compared to $774,530 in 2021 driven by increased marketing and business development initiatives in the current year.

Net cash used in operating activities was $12,370,800 in 2022, a slight increase to net cash used of $12,208,929 in 2021, primarily due to increased cash operating losses as well as outflows related to payments on accounts payables and payments for inventories and other liabilities. Cash flows used in investing activities were $475,697 in 2022, and $10,607,536 in 2021. Cash flows used in investing activities in 2022 were primarily related to the purchases of fixed assets and maintaining intangibles. Cash flows used in investing activities in 2021 were primarily related to the acquisition of our zPREDICTA subsidiary.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $6,715,405 in 2022 compared to net cash provided of $50,340,748 in 2021. Cash flows provided by financing activities in 2022 were primarily due from proceeds from the issuance of common stock and warrants of $6,507,050 during the first half of 2022. Cash flows provided by financing activities in 2021 were primarily due from proceeds from the issuance of common stock and warrants of $50,523,527 and proceeds from the exercise of warrants into common stock of $4,513,871, offset by repayment of debt and payment penalties of $5,236,214.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded an impairment of goodwill of $7,231,093 for the full impairment of the goodwill acquired at the acquisition of zPREDICTA in 2021. We recorded a full impairment of the zPREDICTA acquired intangible assets of $3,349,375. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we also impaired certain tangible fixed assets by $185,469 based on our annual review.

We incurred net losses of $25,737,634 and $19,657,174 for the years ended December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $153,777,916 and $128,040,282, respectively.
