Q2 2022 Financial Results

• Financial Guidance: Based on its current operating plans, SAB expects that its existing business plan, cash and cash equivalents, and anticipated cash flows as of June 30, 2022, will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for the twelve months following the date our quarterly report on Form 10-Q was made available for issuance.
• Cash Position: Cash and cash equivalents were $16.6 million as of June 30, 2022, compared to $22.4 million on March 31, 2022, which was driven primarily by $0.7 million in further capital expansion and SAB’s second quarter cash operating loss of $5.1 million.
• Research and Development (R&D) Expenses: R&D expenses were $8.6 million for three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $18.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in laboratory supplies, contract manufacturing costs, clinical trial expense, and outside lab services due to a decrease in work performed.
• General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses: G&A expenses were $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to increased compensation costs and increased insurance costs associated with being a public company.
• Net Income: Net loss was $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, for an earnings per basic and diluted share of $(0.11), as compared to a net income of $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, for an earnings per basic and diluted share of $(0.11).
