Revelation Biosciences Inc. (NASDAQ: REVB) (the “Company” or “Revelation”), a life sciences company that is focused on the development of immunologic based therapies for the prevention and treatment of disease, today reported its year end 2022 financial results and highlighted recent corporate progress.

Corporate Highlights

• Completed a $15.6 million public offering.
• Announced additional positive biomarker data from a preclinical study of REVTx-300 in acute kidney injury or AKI and chronic kidney disease or CKD.
• Anticipates starting the combined Phase 1a clinical study for RETx-100 and REVTx-300.

“We are hopeful for a great 2023, starting with the manufacturing of clinical supply and additional REVTx-300 preclinical data in the first half of 2023, the initiation of our planned Phase 1a clinical study for both REVTx-300 and REVTx-100 in the second half of 2023 and filing our IND’s for REVTx-300 and REVTx-100 to support our Phase 1b clinical studies at the end of the year,” said James Rolke, Chief Executive Officer of Revelation. “We remain committed to the development of REVTx-300, REVTx-100 and deepening our pipeline.”

Results of Operations

As of December 31, 2022, Revelation had $5.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $1.3 million as of December 31, 2021. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to net cash received from financing activities, offset primarily by cash used for operating activities. Based on current operating plans and projections, including the proceeds of the recent public offering, Revelation believes that its current cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to fund operations through June of 2024.

Revelation’s net cash used for operating activities for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022 was $0.9 million and $11.2 million, respectively, compared to net cash used for operating activities of $2.9 million and $11.1 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2021. Revelation’s net loss for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022 was $1.2 million and $10.8 million, or $1.77 per share and $20.09 per share, respectively, compared to a net loss of $3.9 million and $12.0 million, or $13.69 per share and $42.50 per share, for the same periods in 2021.

The changes in net cash used for operating activities and the decrease in net loss in 2022 as compared to 2021 were primarily due to decreases in diagnostic development expenses, clinical study expenses, financial advisory fees, legal fees, professional consulting service fees, offset by increases in public company directors and officers insurance policies.
