Fathom Holdings Inc. Reports 74% Year-Over-Year Revenue Growth for 2020 Third Quarter

PR Newswire

CARY, N.C., Nov. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Fathom Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: FTHM), a holding company that primarily operates through its wholly owned subsidiary, Fathom Realty, LLC, a national, cloud-based, technology-driven, residential real estate brokerage, today announced financial results for the 2020 third quarter and year-to-date period ended September 30, 2020.

Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Revenue for the 2020 third quarter grew 74% to $55.8 million, from $32.1 million for the comparable period last year.  During the third quarter of 2020, Fathom completed approximately 8,100 real estate transactions, a 56% increase from approximately 5,200 transactions during the same period last year.  Average revenue per transaction expanded 12% to $6,895, from $6,171 for last year’s third quarter.  Fathom’s real estate agent network grew to 5,026 agents as of September 30, 2020, up 38% from 3,629 one year ago. 

GAAP net loss for the 2020 third quarter narrowed to $184,000, or a loss of $0.02 per share, compared with a GAAP net loss of $239,000, or a loss of $0.02 per share, for last year’s third quarter.  Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, increased to $5,800 for the third quarter of 2020, from an adjusted EBITDA loss of $170,000 for the same period last year.  Fathom is providing adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, because it provides additional information for monitoring the company’s performance.  A table providing a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to its most comparable GAAP measure, as well as an explanation of this non-GAAP measure, is included in the tables at the end of this press release.

“By all accounts, the third quarter was a resounding success.  Our significant revenue growth reflected our expanded agent network, focus on increasing agent productivity, and improving market conditions, including continued rising home prices both in our mature and newer markets,” said Fathom CEO Joshua Harley.  “I’m especially proud of our results, which exceeded expectations, as we were only public and funded for a little over half of the quarter.  Clearly, our growth is a result of our tenacity, amazing team, and disruptive model that is attracting hundreds of agents each month.

“We are prudently and strategically using our IPO funds to accelerate growth, including our planned acquisition of Verus Title, which we announced earlier this month, hiring new leaders to accelerate our growth, and geographic expansion into the Oklahoma and West Virginia markets.  We are continuing to identify additional opportunities to give us the ability to better serve our agents, including expanding our footprint and increasing our revenue through vertical integration,” Harley continued.  “Fathom has built what we believe is an exceptional company dedicated to serving others, which is one of our key missions, and is reflected in both our agent and transaction growth.  Fathom is founded on a culture of service, which assists with our agent recruiting and retention efforts.  I believe our future is very bright.  Our team remains dedicated to proving that out, and we look forward to continued growth and sharing our progress with you.”

First Nine Months 2020 Financial Results

Total revenue for the first nine months of 2020 increased 58% to $123.4 million, from $78.0 million for the same period of 2019.  GAAP net loss for the first nine months of 2020 was $66,000, or a loss of $0.01 per share, compared with a GAAP net loss of $2.7 million, or a loss of $0.28 per share, for the first nine months of last year.  Adjusted EBITDA totaled $469,000 for the 2020 period, versus an adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.1 million for the 2019 period.

The company had cash and cash equivalents of $31.0 million at September 30, 2020, up from $579,000 at December 31, 2019, primarily reflecting the completion of the company’s initial public offering on August 4, 2020, which resulted in the issuance and sale of approximately 3.4 million shares at an offering price of $10.00 per share, providing net proceeds of $31.1 million, net of offering costs.

“Our balance sheet is strong and flexible, providing us the opportunity to execute our growth plans,” added Fathom President and CFO Marco Fregenal.  “Despite the pandemic-related challenges of 2020, Fathom’s market remains strong, we are recruiting new agents at a rapid pace, and at the same time, we are working to solidify and expand our market position.”

Note about Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, to understand and evaluate its core operating performance.  This non-GAAP financial measure, which may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies, is presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the Company’s financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Fathom defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), excluding other expense (income), net, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, and share-based compensation expense.

Fathom believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information about the Company’s financial performance, enhances the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allows for greater transparency with respect to a key metric used by management for financial and operational decision-making.  The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA helps identify underlying trends in its business that otherwise could be masked by the effect of the expenses excluded in Adjusted EBITDA.  In particular, Fathom believes the exclusion of share-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards and stock options provides a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of its operations and provides better transparency into its results of operations.

Adjusted EBITDA is being presented to assist investors in seeing the Company’s financial performance through the eyes of management, and because it believes this measure provides an additional tool for investors to use in comparing Fathom’s core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in its industry.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.  There are a number of limitations related to the use of Adjusted EBITDA compared to net income (loss), the closest comparable GAAP measure, including:

  • Adjusted EBITDA excludes share-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards and stock options, which have been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, significant recurring expenses in the Company’s business and an important part of its compensation strategy; and
  • Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain recurring, non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and, although these are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future.

SenesTech Announces Third Quarter 2020 Financial and Operational Results

PR Newswire

PHOENIX, Nov. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — SenesTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNES), a developer of proprietary, next generation technologies for managing animal pest populations through fertility control, today announced financial and operational results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, which ended on September 30, 2020.

Ken Siegel, CEO of SenesTech, commented, “We continued to achieve traction during the third quarter in the awareness and deployment of ContraPest, which resulted in a 114% increase in sales over the prior year period. Perhaps most notable during the quarter, was the passing of the California Ecosystems Protection Act of 2020, otherwise known as AB 1788, which will prohibit the use of the four major Second Generation Anticoagulant Rodenticides (SGARs) commonly used in rodent pest control under many circumstances. SenesTech’s ContraPest provides pest management professionals (PMP) with an alternative and complementary non-lethal approach to managing rodents through fertility control, and may be increasingly used to replace the SGARs. We are working closely with the PMPs in California to ensure continuity of service to their customers by offering ContraPest as part of their IPM programs once the bill goes effective on January 1, 2021.”

“While we are increasingly focusing efforts within California, we continue to make progress on other key initiatives we set forth at the beginning of the year to drive long-term adoption of ContraPest. These include finalizing data sets within key industries, including poultry and municipal areas, driving pull through demand through a refocused sales and marketing program , as well as direct sales efforts through our e-commerce platform. As budgets become less encumbered by the effects of COVID-19, we believe these efforts, coupled with our repositioning of ContraPest as a component of an overall integrated pest management strategy, will increasingly gain traction,” concluded Mr. Siegel.

Third Quarter 2020 Highlights

  • Revenue during the third quarter of 2020 was approximately $77,000 compared to approximately $36,000 in the third quarter of 2019.
  • The California Ecosystems Protection Act of 2020 (AB 1788) was signed by California’s Governor and goes into effect January 1, 2021. AB 1788 will prohibit the use of the four major Second Generation Anticoagulant Rodenticides (SGARs) commonly used in rodent pest control under many circumstances, which opens up a potential $100 million annual market opportunity to alternative solutions, which includes ContraPest.
  • San Francisco added ContraPest to the Reduced Risk Pesticide List, which now permits ContraPest’s expanded use in San Francisco.
  • On a GAAP basis, net loss for the third quarter of 2020 was $(1.9) million, compared with a net loss of $(2.6) million for third quarter of 2019.
  • Adjusted EBITDA loss, which is a non-GAAP measure of operating performance, for the third quarter of 2020 was $(1.7) million versus $(2.3) million in the third quarter of 2019.
  • In October 2020, the Company entered into an inducement agreement with an existing warrant holder to exercise certain outstanding warrants, which provided gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $2.9 million.
  • Cash balance at the end of the third quarter of 2020, together with the net proceeds of the inducement agreement, was approximately $5.3 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Measure

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. However, this measure is not intended to be a substitute for those financial measures reported in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has been included because management believes that, when considered together with the GAAP figures, it provides meaningful information related to our operating performance and liquidity and can enhance an overall understanding of financial results and trends. Adjusted EBITDA may be calculated by us differently than other companies that disclose measures with the same or similar term. See our attached financials for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the nearest GAAP measure.

SenesTech is changing the model for pest management by targeting one of the root causes of the problem: reproduction.

ContraPest® is an innovative technology with an approach that targets the reproductive capabilities of both sexes in rat populations, inducing egg loss in female rats and impairing sperm development in males. Using a proprietary bait delivery method, ContraPest® is dispensed in a highly palatable liquid formulation that promotes sustained consumption by rat communities. ContraPest® is designed, formulated and dispensed to be low hazard for handlers and non-target species such as wildlife, livestock and pets, where the active ingredients break down rapidly.

We believe ContraPest® will establish a new paradigm in rodent control, resulting in a decreased reliance on lethal options. For more information visit the SenesTech website at www.senestech.com.

PDS Biotechnology Reports Financial Results for the Third Quarter 2020 and Provides Business Update

FLORHAM PARK, N.J., Nov. 11, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PDS Biotechnology Corporation (Nasdaq: PDSB), a clinical-stage immunotherapy company developing novel cancer therapies and infectious disease vaccines based on the Company’s proprietary Versamune® T-cell activating technology, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020 and provided a business update.

Third Quarter 2020 and Recent Business Highlights

  • Successfully raised approximately $19 million via a public offering of common stock.
  • Initiated VERSATILE-002, a Phase 2 trial of PDS0101, our investigational drug candidate, in combination with standard of care KEYTRUDA® for first-line treatment of patients with metastatic or recurrent HPV-positive head and neck cancer.
  • Initiated a Phase 2 study of PDS0101 in combination with standard of care chemoradiotherapy at the MD Anderson Cancer Center for treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer.
  • Continued development of PDS0103 in partnership with the National Cancer Institute.
  • Advanced co-development program with Farmacore with plans to move the PDS0203 COVID-19 vaccine into clinical development with the support of the Brazilian government.
  • Expanded Board of Directors with appointment of preeminent oncologist, Otis Brawley, M.D.

“As a result of our team’s dedicated efforts during the third quarter and our clinical partnerships with leading institutions in immuno-oncology, today PDS0101 is being evaluated in three phase 2 clinical trials for multiple HPV-associated cancers,” commented Dr. Frank Bedu-Addo, President and Chief Executive Officer of PDS Biotechnology. “Furthermore, the successful equity raise we completed in August strengthened our balance sheet, ensuring we can continue to progress the clinical development of our oncology programs as well as expand both our oncology and infectious disease programs despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Third
Quarter 2020 Financial Review

For the third quarter of 2020, net loss was approximately $3.9 million, or $0.23 per basic share and diluted share, compared to a net loss of approximately $5.8 million, or $1.10 per basic share and diluted share for the third quarter of 2019.

Research and development expenses totaled approximately $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2020, compared to approximately $1.8 million for the same period in 2019, an increase of 12%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $0.1 million in technical operations (manufacturing) and $0.3 million in clinical studies, offset by a decrease of $0.1 million in professional fees and $0.1 million in regulatory expenses.

For the third quarter of 2020, general and administrative expenses were approximately $1.8 million compared with approximately $3.0 million during the third quarter of 2019, a decrease of 40%. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $0.2 million in salary and benefits, $0.1 million in facilities and office expense, $0.3 million in insurance expense, $0.6 million in professional fees, and $0.1 million in legal fees offset by an increase of $0.1 million in licenses, taxes and fees.

Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2020 were approximately $3.9 million, compared to total operating expenses of approximately $5.8 million during the same period of 2019, a decrease of 33%.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s cash balance was approximately $33.5 million.

This communication contains forward-looking statements (including within the meaning of Section 21E of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended) concerning PDS Biotechnology Corporation (the “Company”) and other matters. These statements may discuss goals, intentions and expectations as to future plans, trends, events, results of operations or financial condition, or otherwise, based on current beliefs of the Company’s management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. Forward-looking statements generally include statements that are predictive in nature and depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, and include words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “likely,” “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,”  “forecast,” “guidance”, “outlook” and other similar expressions among others. Forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties and are not guarantees of future performance.

Trevi Therapeutics Announces Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results and Business Update

PRISM Trial of
Haduvio
™ for Severe Pruritus in Patients with Prurigo
Nodularis 

Exceeds Halfway Enrollment Milestone

Phase 2 Chronic Cough Trial in Patients with IPF Enrolled First New Subject
Post-
COVID
-19
Restrictions

Cash Position Expected to Fund Operations into the First Half of 2022

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov. 11, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Trevi Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRVI), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of Haduvio™ (nalbuphine ER) to treat serious neurologically mediated conditions, today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, as well as business updates.

“We are pleased with the continued progress of our clinical development programs,” said Jennifer L. Good, President and CEO of Trevi Therapeutics. “We recently announced significant developments in both of our ongoing clinical trials by surpassing halfway enrollment in our PRISM trial and enrolling the first new subject in our chronic cough trial in IPF since the study resumed after pausing due to COVID restrictions. We are focused on completing enrollment in both trials and preparing for the next steps in the development of Haduvio.”

Key Business Updates

  • Phase 2b/3 PRISM trial of
    Haduvio
    for severe pruritus in patients with prurigo
    nodularis
    : The Company has enrolled approximately 190 subjects in the trial and reaffirms its guidance that it expects to complete enrollment in the third quarter of 2021 and to report top-line data in the fourth quarter of 2021.

  • Phase 2 trial of
    Haduvio
    for chronic cough in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF): The Company resumed screening and enrolling patients in the trial following the pause in the trial due to COVID-19. The Company amended the study protocol to require fewer in-person visits by subjects as well as fewer procedures in order to facilitate the completion of the trial in an at-risk patient population for COVID-19. Additionally, the Company is assessing additional study sites in Germany which could potentially accelerate enrollment and reduce the risks inherent with single-country recruitment during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Third Quarter 2020 Financial Highlights

Cash position: As of September 30, 2020, the Company had total cash and cash equivalents of $53.3 million, compared to $57.3 million as of December 31, 2019. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company received $14.0 million in proceeds from a term loan with Silicon Valley Bank and sold approximately $2.5 million of common stock under the Company’s ATM program. The Company expects its cash position will fund operations into the first half of 2022.

Research and development (R&D) expenses: R&D expenses for the third quarter of 2020 were $4.8 million compared to $5.7 million in the same period in 2019. The decrease was primarily due to decreased activity in the Company’s Phase 2 trial in chronic cough in patients with IPF due to the pausing of enrollment and treatment of patients as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as decreased activity with the completion of the Company’s Phase 1b trial in patients with chronic liver disease.

General and administrative (G&A) expenses: G&A expenses for the third quarter of 2020 were $2.4 million compared to $2.0 million in the same period in 2019. The increase was primarily due to an increase in stock-based compensation expenses and an increase in consulting fees.

Net loss: For the third quarter of 2020, the Company reported a net loss of $7.4 million, compared to a net loss of $7.4 million in the same period in 2019.

About
Trevi
Therapeutics, Inc.

Trevi Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of Haduvio to treat serious neurologically mediated conditions. Trevi is currently developing Haduvio for the treatment of chronic pruritus, chronic cough in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) in patients with Parkinson’s disease. These conditions share a common pathophysiology that is mediated through opioid receptors in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Trevi is currently conducting a Phase 2b/3 clinical trial of Haduvio, referred to as the PRISM trial, in patients with severe pruritus associated with prurigo nodularis.

Founded in 2011, Trevi Therapeutics is headquartered in New Haven, CT.

About HADUVIO

Haduvio is an oral extended release formulation of nalbuphine. Nalbuphine is a mixed ĸ-opioid receptor agonist and µ-opioid receptor antagonist that has been approved and marketed as an injectable for pain indications for more than 20 years in the United States and Europe. The ĸ- and µ-opioid receptors are known to be critical mediators of itch, cough and certain movement disorders. Nalbuphine’s mechanism of action also mitigates the risk of abuse associated with µ-opioid agonists because it antagonizes, or blocks, µ-opioid receptors. Nalbuphine is currently the only opioid approved for marketing that is not classified as a controlled substance in the United States and most of Europe. Trevi intends to propose Haduvio as the trade name for the nalbuphine ER investigational product. Haduvio is an investigational drug product and its safety and efficacy have not been fully evaluated by any regulatory authority.
