Financial Highlights Replimune reported a net loss of $7.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 compared with $4.4 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in the net loss was primarily due to an increase in research and development expenses and administrative costs associated with our operations. Research and development expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 were $7.9 million compared with $3.6 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily driven by additional costs related to Replimune’s preclinical and clinical development activities for its pipeline, as well as increased salary and related benefits costs due to the increase in employee headcount from 33 on December 31, 2017 to 48 on December 31, 2018. General and administrative expenses were $2.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 compared with $1.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the increase in employee headcount and the impact of stock-based compensation in 2018. Replimune ended the quarter with $141.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, compared with $61.6 million as of March 31, 2018. The increase reflects net proceeds received of $103.3 million in connection with its IPO. Based on its current operating plan, Replimune expects that its current cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments will enable it to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the second half of 2021. About Replimune Replimune Group, Inc., headquartered in Woburn, MA, was founded in 2015 to develop the next generation of “oncolytic immune-gene therapies” for the treatment of cancer. Replimune is developing novel, proprietary therapeutics intended to improve the direct cancer-killing effects of selective virus replication and the potency of the immune response to the tumor antigens released. The Company’s Immulytic™ platform is designed to maximize systemic immune activation, in particular to tumor neoantigens, through robust viral-mediated immunogenic tumor cell killing and the delivery of optimal combinations of immune-activating proteins to the tumor and draining lymph nodes. The approach is expected to be highly synergistic with immune checkpoint blockade and other approaches to cancer treatment. Replimune intends to progress these therapies rapidly through clinical development in combination with other immuno-oncology products with complementary mechanisms of action.
