TORONTO, Nov. 14, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Spectral Medical Inc., (TSX: EDT), a Phase III company developing the first treatment for patients with septic shock guided by a companion diagnostic, today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019.Financial ReviewRevenue for the three-months ended September 30, 2019 was $534,000 compared to $579,000 for the same three-month period last year. For the nine-months, ended September 30, 2019, revenue was $2,122,000 compared to $1,976,000 in the first nine months of 2018. The increase is due to the completion of certain performance obligations related to the licensing and technology transfer agreement entered into at the end of 2018. The increase was offset, in part, by a reduction in royalty revenue generated from contracts related to the Company’s biological reagents that expired at the end of 2018.Operating costs for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 were $1,935,000 compared to $1,288,000 for the same period in 2018. Operating costs for the nine-months ended September 30, 2019 were $5,568,000, an increase of $659,000 from $4,909,000. The increase is primarily related to the ramping-up of clinical trial activities and investor relations programs. Operating costs are expected to increase as the Company continues with site start-ups and prepares for patient enrolment in its Tigris trial. The Company continues to maintain a low cost operating structure for its base business operations.For the three-months ended September 30, 2019, the Company reported a loss of $1,401,000 ($0.006 per share) compared to a loss of $709,000 ($0.003 per share) for the three-months ended September 30, 2018.
