Opiant Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Reports Fiscal First Quarter 2018 Financial Results

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Dec. 04, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Opiant Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Opiant”) (NASDAQ:OPNT), a specialty pharmaceutical company developing pharmacological treatments for addictions, today reported financial results for the fiscal first quarter ended October 31, 2017.

“We are well-positioned to develop novel therapeutics that transform the lives of patients with addictions,” said Roger Crystal, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Opiant.  “During the first quarter, we continued to enroll patients into the OPNT001 Phase II study for Bulimia Nervosa, advanced the development of OPNT002 for Alcohol Use Disorder and continued pre-clinical development of our heroin vaccine candidate, which we licensed from the Walter Reed Army Institute and the National Institute on Drug Abuse in the first quarter of 2016.”

Financial Results

Quarter ended October 31, 2017, compared to October 31, 2016

For the quarter ended October 31, 2017, Opiant generated revenue of approximately $22,000, compared to approximately $1.1 million in the quarter ended October 31, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to $1.1 million of revenue derived from the Company’s agreement with Adapt Pharmaceuticals during the three months ended October 31, 2016.

General and administrative expenses were approximately $4.0 million in the quarter ended October 31, 2017, compared to approximately $1.2 million in the quarter ended October 31, 2016. The increase was primarily due to higher severance payments, stock-based compensation, consulting expenses, and expenses related to increased headcount.

Research and development expenses were approximately $1.6 million for the quarter ended October 31, 2017, compared to approximately $0.4 million during the three months ended October 31, 2016. The increase was primarily due to research and development program-related expenses and stock-based compensation associated with R&D employees.

Opiant did not record any selling expenses in the quarter ended October 31, 2017, compared to approximately $42,000 for the quarter ended October 31, 2016.

Opiant’s cash and cash equivalents was approximately $5.9 million as of October 31, 2017.
