BioLineRx Reports Year End 2015 Financial Results (NASDAQ/TASE: BLRX)

Tel Aviv, Israel – March 10, 2016 – BioLineRx Ltd. (NASDAQ/TASE: BLRX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to identifying, in-licensing and developing promising therapeutic candidates, today reported its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Kinneret Savitsky, Ph.D., CEO of BioLineRx, remarked, “2015 was a year of significant progress for BioLineRx on several fronts, as we advanced our lead therapeutic clinical programs both from a development and regulatory perspective, and entered into an exciting new collaboration in the immuno-oncology space.”
“During the past year, we enhanced and expanded the development strategy for our BL-8040 cancer therapy platform, which is currently being investigated for multiple cancer and hematological indications. These include a Phase 2 study for treating relapsed and refractory AML patients, top line results of which are expected by the end of this month. Results from the first part of this trial continue to demonstrate substantial mobilization of leukemic cells from the bone marrow to the peripheral blood and robust induction of cancer cell apoptosis, which, combined with the reported 38% composite remission rate, strongly suggest that BL-8040 has potent anti-leukemic activity. In addition, we are also assessing BL-8040 as an AML consolidation treatment in a large Phase 2b study that is currently up and running at full steam. Successful top-line safety and efficacy results were also reported from a Phase 1 study in stem cell mobilization, supporting BL-8040 as one-day, single-dose collection regimen, which is a significant improvement upon the current standard of care. We now await receipt of regulatory approval in order to begin, by the end of the month, a Phase 2 trial for BL-8040 as a stem cell mobilizer for allogeneic transplantation. Finally, we are advancing an ongoing Phase 1/2 study for BL-8040 as a novel treatment for hMDS and AA, two bone marrow failure conditions.”
“We recently entered the exciting field of immuno-oncology through our collaboration with Merck, a pioneer and world leader in cancer immunotherapy. A Phase 2 study is planned to commence by mid-year investigating BL-8040 in combination with KEYTRUDA®, Merck’s anti-PD-1 immunotherapy, in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer. Although there have been significant advances in the immuno-oncology field, many cancer types, such as pancreatic cancer, remain resistant to immunotherapy, and combination treatments appear to offer a better chance to treat these cancers. We are therefore enthusiastic about this opportunity to evaluate the potential of our lead drug candidate as a combination therapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors. We are also planning to commence a Phase 2a trial for BL-8040 in the second half of 2016, for the treatment of AML patients with the FLT3-ITD mutation. With the guidance and insight of our newly established Oncology Scientific Advisory Board, consisting of world-renowned key opinion leaders, we look forward to realizing the potential of this promising oncology platform and to reaching several meaningful development milestones during 2016.”
“BL-7010, for the treatment of celiac disease and gluten sensitivity, which was found to be safe and well tolerated in a Phase 1/2 trial in celiac patients, has recently received confirmation for the medical device designation pathway in Europe. Over the past year, we have invested considerable efforts in examining the potential of BL-7010 as a food supplement, in order to address the multi-billion dollar market for gluten sensitivity, which we believe has a significantly shorter time to market than drug or device pathways, especially in the US market. We are currently conducting a number of activities towards the development of BL-7010 as a food supplement, including the development of a suitable product formulation, preparation of the documents necessary for a GRAS designation submission, and preparations for a relatively small clinical trial to support future marketing efforts. We expect to complete these activities by mid-2017, in order to support future expected partnering discussions for the food supplement market in the US and other relevant territories. We also plan to continue to evaluate the pathway in Europe for celiac disease and intend to make a decision about the timing and scope of the next efficacy study for European registration over the next few months.”
“Regarding BL-5010, our partner Omega Pharma, now part of Perrigo, is swiftly progressing with its development as an OTC solution for the non-surgical removal of benign skin lesions. Omega Pharma submitted a CE Mark application for BL-5010 during the third quarter of 2015, and has completed the initial manufacturing process automation to support the product’s commercial launch, expected during 2016. We also look forward to the potential expansion of this product to other markets and to non-OTC indications.”
“During 2015, we invested significant efforts in our new strategic collaboration with Novartis and have been jointly evaluating promising therapeutic candidates to be developed under the collaboration. In addition, we continue to explore other collaboration possibilities for maximizing the value of our current pipeline assets, including some of our non-core programs.”
Dr. Savitsky concluded, “Yesterday, we announced the appointment of Dr. Merril Gersten as our new Chief Scientific Officer. Merril brings with her many years of leadership in both academia and the pharma industry in the US. I am confident that she will bring great value to BioLineRx and I am very excited to begin working with her. Finally, with almost $48 million on our balance sheet, we remain well capitalized to execute on our development programs and achieve significant milestones across our expanded therapeutic pipeline well into 2018.”
Financial Results for Year Ended December 31, 2015
Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015 were $11.5 million, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 3.4%, compared to $11.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in spending on BL-7010 and various other projects, partially offset by increased spending on BL-8040.
Sales and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015 were $1.0 million, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 37.5%, compared to $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The decrease resulted primarily from professional fees related to business development activities carried out in 2014, including professional services related to the strategic collaboration agreement with Novartis and the out-licensing agreement with Omega Pharma regarding BL-5010.
General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015 were $3.7 million, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 2.6%, compared to $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The decrease primarily resulted from a decrease in salary-related payments, partially offset by a small increase in professional fees.
The Company’s operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2015 amounted to $16.2 million, compared with an operating loss of $17.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014.
The Company recognized net non-operating income of $1.4 million for the year ended December, 2015, compared to net non-operating income of $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. Non-operating income for both periods primarily relates to fair-value adjustments of liabilities on account of warrants issued in the private and direct placements conducted in February 2012 and 2013. These fair-value adjustments were highly influenced by the Company’s share price at each period end (i.e., warrant revaluation date).
Net financial income amounted to $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to net financial income of $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. Net financial income for 2015 primarily relates to investment income earned on bank deposits, partially offset by banking fees. The 2014 period also includes significant exchange rate differences primarily relating to changes in the USD/NIS exchange rate prior to adoption of the dollar as the Company’s functional and reporting currency, effective as of January 1, 2015.
The Company’s net loss for the year ended December 31, 2015 amounted to $14.4 million, compared with a net loss of $11.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2014.
The Company held $47.7 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term bank deposits as of December 31, 2015.
Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $14.2 million, compared to $15.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities in 2015 was primarily the result of a decrease in the Company’s operating loss.
Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $15.6 million, compared to $19.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The changes in cash flows from investing activities relate primarily to investments in, and maturities of, short-term bank deposits and other investments during the respective periods.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $29.5 million, compared to $32.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The cash flows in 2015 primarily reflect the underwritten public offering of the Company’s ADSs in March 2015. The cash flows in 2014 primarily reflect the underwritten public offering of the Company’s ADSs in March 2014, as well as the investment made by Novartis pursuant to the strategic collaboration agreement with them signed in December 2014.
