LEUVEN, Belgium ThromboGenics reported a net loss of 4.7 million, or 0.17 per diluted share, for the first half of 2009, compared with a net profit of 18 million, or 0.67 per diluted share, posted during the first half of 2008, the company announced in a press release.
ThromboGenics' operating loss for the first half of 2009 totaled 5.5 million, compared with an operating profit of 17.3 million reported for the corresponding period in 2008, the release said.
For the first half of 2009, ThromboGenics reported 3.6 million in revenue, the majority of which stemmed from out-licensing activities, compared with 30.3 million in revenue recorded during the same period last year. The majority of the company's 2008 revenue stemmed from an upfront payment tendered by Roche related to a strategic partnership.
As of June 30, ThromboGenics had 52.6 million in cash and cash equivalents. The company expects to increase its cash burn as it continues to invest in its phase 3 program and product launch for microplasmin in retinal disease.
