MIROMATRIX MEDICAL INC. EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., Nov. 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Miromatrix Medical Inc. (NASDAQ: MIRO), a life sciences company pioneering a novel technology for bioengineering fully transplantable organs to help save and improve patients' lives, today reported third quarter 2021 financial results.
Business Highlights
- Completed an initial public offering of 5.5 million shares, raising approximately $49 million in gross proceeds;
- Hired accomplished scientist and product developer, Dr. John Barry, as Vice President of Research and Development;
- Announced the first successful transplant of a bioengineered whole organ in a large animal; and
- Strengthening infrastructure in support of 2022 FDA IND submission and commencement of Phase I Liver Assist Trial
"Throughout the third quarter, we made meaningful progress towards our ultimate goal of bioengineering fully transplantable human organs," said Jeff Ross, Ph.D., Miromatrix CEO. "2022 will be an exciting year for Miromatrix as we prepare for our FDA Investigational New Drug Application submission and the eventual enrollment for our Phase I Liver Assist Trial. With the demand for organs ever-increasing, we are very eager to demonstrate the viability and efficacy of our bioengineered fully transplantable organs through our upcoming clinical trial."
Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Revenue was $10,000 for the third quarter of 2021, stemming from our license agreement with Reprise Biomedical for MIROMESH® and MIRODERM®.
Loss on gross margin was $0.1 million for the third quarter of 2021 and 2020.
Operating expenses were $5.1 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $2.5 million in the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily due to increased headcount, increased research and development supplies costs as we accelerate our development efforts and building stocks to help avoid supply constraints, as well the cost of being a public company.
Net loss was $5.1 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to a net loss of $3.0 million in the same period in 2020.
Cash and Cash Equivalents at September 30, 2021 were $62.1 million.
