Year-End 2023 Financial Results

Research and development expenses were $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $5.1 million for the same period in 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the completion of enrollment in the IT-01 study in mid-2022. This decrease was partially offset by higher 2023 expenses for start-up work on the INVINCIBLE-3 study and a new manufacturing batch of INT230-6.

General and administrative expenses were $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $2.4 million for the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily due to salary and bonus increases, including the hiring of a new chief financial officer in the fourth quarter of 2023, higher stock-based compensation expense, and overall higher accounting fees, consulting, directors and officers insurance and other expenses as we transitioned into a publicly traded company.

In 2023, the Company also recognized a non-cash $2.3 million loss on debt conversion at the time of the initial public offering, along with a non-cash preferred stock deemed dividend of $1.3 million, representing the value that was transferred to the Series B and C preferred stockholders upon triggering of anti-dilution provisions.

Overall, net loss was $10.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $7.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.

As of December 31, 2023, cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities totaled $14.8 million, which the Company expects will be sufficient to fund operations through the end of the first quarter in 2025.
