BioPharmX Reports Second Quarter 2018 Financial Results
MENLO PARK, Calif., Sept. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- BioPharmX Corporation (NYSE MKT: BPMX), a specialty pharmaceutical company focusing on dermatology, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended July 31, 2017 and discussed the progress of its clinical research.
"Momentum that began during our first quarter continues," said BioPharmX President Anja Krammer. "We have requested a meeting with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to discuss phase 3 requirements for BPX-01, our investigational topical drug for acne. Meanwhile, we have also made good progress for a second indication of BPX-01 in rosacea, showing tolerability and efficacy in our ongoing feasibility study."
During the past month, BioPharmX has:
-- Continued to refine plans for its phase 3 clinical trials of BPX-01 for
acne.
-- Requested a meeting with FDA to discuss BPX-01 phase 3 requirements.
-- Announced preliminary data on rosacea open-label study, demonstrating
that BPX-01 for rosacea was well tolerated, and that efficacy endpoint
data suggest a potential positive effect on rosacea lesions.
BioPharmX will hold a business update call in the near future, during which the company's management team will brief investors on ongoing progress.
Second Quarter Financial Results
Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2018 were $4.3 million, compared with total operating expenses of $5.0 million in the prior fiscal year's second quarter. The decrease resulted primarily from lower spending for the company's acne drug clinical trials, as well as lower spending on advertising and promotions related to the company's Violet product.
Net loss for the second quarter of 2018 was $3.7 million, or $0.05 per share, compared with a net loss of $5.0 million, or $0.18 per share, during the prior fiscal year's second quarter.
Excluding stock-based compensation expense, the impact of changes in the fair value of the warrant liability and amortization of purchased intangible assets, non-GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2018 was $3.7 million, or $0.05 per share. During the second quarter of the prior year, the comparable non-GAAP net loss was $4.6 million, or $0.16 per share.
Cash and cash equivalents as of July 31, 2017 were $4.5 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
BioPharmX Corporation has supplemented its reported GAAP financial information with non-GAAP measures, non-GAAP net loss available to common shareholders, and non-GAAP net loss available to common shareholders per share, that do not include stock-based compensation, the impact of changes in the fair value of the warrant liability, and the amortization of purchased intangible assets. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses the non-GAAP information internally to evaluate its ongoing business, operational performance and cash requirements and believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors as they provide the same basis for evaluating BioPharmX Corporation's performance as applied by management.
BioPharmX Corporation has provided a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. These non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore, comparability may be limited. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. BioPharmX Corporation believes that non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with its results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. BioPharmX Corporation encourages investors and others to review the company's financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
Stock-based compensation expenses represent non-cash charges related to equity awards granted by BioPharmX Corporation. The change in fair value of the warrant liability results from the periodic revaluing of the warrant liability. Although these are recurring charges to BioPharmX Corporation's operations, management believes the measurement of these amounts can vary considerably from period to period and depend substantially on factors that are not a direct consequence of operating performance that is within management's control. Thus, management believes that excluding these charges from non-GAAP net loss available to common shareholders and non-GAAP net loss available to common shareholders per share facilitates comparisons of BioPharmX Corporation's operational performance in different periods, as well as with similarly determined non-GAAP financial measures of comparable companies.
Amortization of purchased intangible assets results from the purchase of a license related to molecular iodine technology. This amount is excluded from non-GAAP net loss available to common shareholders and non-GAAP net loss available to common shareholders per share because it is not reflective of ongoing operating results in the period incurred.
