Intra-Cellular Therapies Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2014 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update

NEW YORK, March 12, 2015 /GLOBE NEWSWIRE/ — Intra-Cellular Therapies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITCI), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of therapeutics for central nervous system (CNS) disorders, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2014, and provided a corporate update.

Selected Fourth Quarter and Year End 2014 Financial Results

The Company reported a net loss of $15.2 million, or $(0.52) per share (basic and diluted), for the fourth quarter of 2014 compared with a net loss of $8.0 million, or $(0.36) per share (basic and diluted), for the fourth quarter of 2013. The Company reported a net loss of $30.7 million, or $(1.07) per share (basic and diluted), for the full year ended December 31, 2014 compared with a net loss of $26.9 million, or $(1.56) per share (basic and diluted), for the same period in 2013.

Research and development (R&D) expenses for the fourth quarter of 2014 were $11.6 million, compared to $6.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. For the full year ended December 31, 2014, R&D expenses were $21.2 million, compared to $23.0 million for 2013. The decrease year over year is due primarily to costs associated with outside clinical testing for our ITI-007 Phase 2 clinical trial that was completed in late 2013, offset by increased costs incurred in the fourth quarter of 2014 as a result of the initiation of our ITI-007 Phase 3 clinical trial.

General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $3.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to $2.7 million for the fourth quarter 2013. For the full year ended December 31, 2014, G&A expenses were $10.3 million, compared to $6.0 million for the prior-year period. These increases were primarily due to increased stock option expense in 2014 related to options granted in 2014, and increased labor and related benefit costs, with the remainder comprised of higher professional fees, directors’ and officers’ insurance costs, and board of directors compensation due to being a public company.

Cash, cash equivalents and investment securities totaled $129.6 million at December 31, 2014, compared to $37.2 million at December 31, 2013. The increase is due to the Company raising net proceeds of approximately $115.4 million in a public offering of its common stock during the first quarter of 2014, offset by cash used in operations during the year. On March 11, 2015 the Company completed an underwritten public offering of its common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $130 million and net proceeds of approximately $121.4 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses.

The Company expects that its existing cash, cash equivalents and investment securities will be dedicated primarily to the ITI-007 clinical platform and pre-clinical activities. To a much lesser extent, funds will be used for other development programs the Company is undertaking, including our phosphodiesterase (PDE) programs.

Corporate Highlights

 

    Clinical conduct for the ITI-007-301 Phase 3 clinical trial in schizophrenia is ongoing. The Company anticipates topline results from this trial could be available as early as the fourth quarter of 2015. In addition, the Company expects to initiate a second Phase 3 clinical trial of ITI-007 in schizophrenia in the first half of 2015.

 

    The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $130 million from a follow on offering in March 2015, with net proceeds of approximately $121.4 million. With the proceeds from this offering, the Company plans to broaden its development strategy for ITI-007 to expand the scope of clinical studies that will examine ITI-007 for the treatment of behavioral disturbances associated with dementia, bipolar disorder and depression. Additionally, the Company plans to accelerate progress of its ITI-007 long acting injectable development program.

 

    In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company reported positive safety and tolerability data from the ITI-007-200 trial in healthy geriatric subjects and in elderly patients with dementia. In 2015, the Company intends to initiate a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluating efficacy of ITI-007 in patients with behavioral disturbances associated with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease.

 

    The Company expects to announce topline results from the ITI-007 positron emission tomography (PET) study in patients with stable schizophrenia in 2015.

“We are pleased with the continued progress we have made on our ITI-007 clinical programs and on our other preclinical programs in 2014 and in 2015. We look forward to announcing topline data from the first ITI-007 Phase 3 clinical trial in schizophrenia in late 2015,” said Dr. Sharon Mates, Chairman and CEO of Intra-Cellular Therapies. “Individuals with schizophrenia are in need of effective treatment options that will make a meaningful impact in their ability to engage in social interactions and integrate more fully into their families and workplaces. The recently completed public offering places us in a strong financial position to continue development of ITI-007 and to broaden the scope of the program with the objective of offering meaningful improvements in the management of several serious neuropsychiatric and neurological disorders.”
