SAN DIEGO, Nov. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cibus, Inc. (Nasdaq: CBUS) (the "Company"), a leading agricultural biotechnology company that uses proprietary gene editing technologies to develop plant traits (or specific genetic characteristics) in seeds, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024, and provided a year-to-date business update for 2024. Management will host a conference call and webcast today at 4:30 p.m. ET.
Management Commentary
"This has been a transformative first nine months for Cibus, and as we end this quarter, I'm pleased to report that all of our operational crop platforms now have field studies or greenhouse data with multiple traits and customer relationships, which we believe validates our technology and commercial approach," stated Rory Riggs, Co-Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Cibus. "We are actively working with our customers to advance germplasm with our traits toward commercialization. In light of these relationships and their stage of development, we have recently provided more detailed timelines around anticipated launches which are expected to lead to royalty revenues and allow our stakeholders to better benchmark our commercial progress and prospects."
Mr. Riggs continued, "We are also continuing to take proactive steps to focus on advancing our highest priority objectives. Our recently announced strategic realignment focuses the allocation of our capital resources toward our commercial efforts through advancement of our weed management traits for Rice, Sclerotinia resistance trait for Canola and Soybean, and the continuing development of our Soybean platform, while enabling continued progress on our Pod Shatter Reduction trait and our third weed management trait HT2 utilizing a more streamlined use of resources."
"Our Rice platform exemplifies the progress we've made with our HT1 and HT3 herbicide traits gaining substantial momentum this year and which we anticipate will be utilized eventually as stacked traits in an integrated weed management platform. We have agreements with four major Rice seed company customers in North and Latin America and we've received germplasm from each of these customers. All of this progress is made possible by our Trait Machine process, a paradigm shift in breeding complex traits, as we can now complete edits in a customer's elite germplasm and return it within as few as 12 months. This breakthrough in speed and predictability allows us to work seamlessly with seed companies, augmenting their breeding operations with our capabilities in complex gene-editing."
"We've also made significant strides in our Advanced Traits this year, particularly with our work in productivity traits. We have received successful field trial results for a second mode of action for Sclerotinia resistance in Canola, and greenhouse testing is underway for the third mode of action. With our Sclerotinia resistance trait being a multi-crop trait, the incredible progress we are making in Canola is foundational to the development of this trait for our Soybean platform, once operational. Additionally, we have encouraging greenhouse data for our HT2 edits in Canola as we head into anticipated field trials in 2025. These aren't just technological achievements - they represent products advancing toward commercialization with real royalty potential."
Mr. Riggs concluded, "As we complete our transformation from an R&D-focused company to the first commercial-stage gene editing company in agriculture, we're setting the stage for a new industry of gene-edited traits. Our progress positions Cibus at the forefront of agricultural innovation. The fact that we now have validating data for multiple traits across our operational crop platforms, with customers moving forward toward commercialization, proves that our technology is working. But we are not just developing traits, we are creating commercial products alongside our seed company customers with the potential to generate meaningful revenue while pioneering a more sustainable and productive future for global agriculture by addressing critical challenges such as disease resistance and herbicide tolerance across multiple major crops."
Commercial Progress
Progress of Cibus' Developed Traits
- Weed Management (HT1 and HT3) in Rice
- Including Cibus' second quarter agreement with FEDEARROZ, Cibus has agreements with four customers, including major Rice seed companies in North and Latin America to have Cibus' HT traits placed in their elite germplasm as they move toward potential commercialization.
- Received germplasm from all four Rice customers.
- Completed a successful field trial in the US with a customer's germplasm.
- Cibus, RTDC Corporation Limited, and Albaugh LLC entered into an amendment to certain existing agreements to continue a collaboration that brings Cibus' Clethodim-tolerant Rice (HT3 trait) to US rice seed customers utilizing Albaugh's herbicide registration and crop protection expertise and establishes related financial obligations among the parties, including with respect to the allocation of trait fees and royalties received by Cibus.
- Received initial field trial results for stacked gene edited herbicide tolerance traits in Rice; we believe this is the first trial use of stacked gene edited herbicide tolerance traits in Rice to improve weed management.
- Pod Shatter Reduction (PSR) in Canola and Winter Oilseed Rape (WOSR)
- Completed successful initial PSR field trials for WOSR in the UK for multiple customers, an important milestone in furthering Cibus' commercialization efforts for WOSR in Europe.
- Planted next round of UK field trials in the third quarter and expect to receive data in 2025 harvest season.
Progress of Cibus' Advanced Traits and Sustainable Ingredients
- Sclerotinia Resistance
- Received field trial results for second mode of action in Canola.

- Sustainable Ingredients
- Continued progress toward current partner-funded project.
Progress within Crop Platforms
- Soybean Platform
- Expect Soybean platform to be operational by year end 2024, allowing access to this large market of approximately 125 million accessible acres.
Corporate and Industry Progress
- Expansion of IP coverage for plant gene editing and traits
- Through the first nine months of 2024, Cibus received additional patents across 10 plant gene editing and trait families, further strengthening the Company's IP portfolio including in its Pod Shatter Reduction and Herbicide Tolerance trait families.
- The IP expansion covers gene editing, productivity traits and quality traits that strengthen Cibus' patent coverage in geographies including, but not limited to, Europe, Asia, Latin America, and North America.
- Canada added to growing list of countries regulating Cibus' gene editing technologies similar to conventional breeding in feed
- In May 2024, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), Animal Feed Division published updated guidelines outlining the CFIA's approach to regulating feed products/ingredients from gene editing like those developed through conventional breeding.
- Other global markets: The movement of other countries approving gene editing as similar to conventional breeding techniques continues to expand as momentum builds globally.
- Initiated actions in support of advancing streamlined commercial strategy
- Includes actions to achieve $10 million in cost savings on an annualized run-rate basis.
- When these and other initiatives are fully implemented by early 2025, the Company expects them to translate to a reduction in monthly cash use by approximately 20%.
- The Company anticipates incurring a one-time charge associated with severance expenses in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.
- In the third quarter, raised approximately $12.1 million of net proceeds, inclusive of proceeds from a partial exercise of underwriters' option, in an SEC-registered underwritten offering.
- Cibus intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to fund further development of new, and improvement of existing, seed traits, Trait Machine operations, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Expected Milestones
Cibus intends to report ordinary course development progress and achievements in connection with its quarterly reporting process. Cibus presents below the most significant development and commercial milestone targets for its priority programs for the remainder of 2024 and 2025:
- Soybean Platform:
- Expect Soybean single-cell regeneration platform to be operational and complete initial editing by end of 2024.
- Sclerotinia:
- Canola greenhouse testing results for third mode of action expected in 2024, with field trials planned for 2025.
- Expect results from greenhouse testing for fourth mode of action in Canola in first quarter 2025.
- HT2 in Canola:
- Expect initial field trial data in 2025.
- Partner-Funded Sustainable Ingredient Development:
- Continue progress on partner-funded project to develop sustainable low carbon ingredients or materials for the consumer packaged goods industry that do not negatively impact the environment during production, use, or disposal.
- Expect to receive initial amounts related to previously announced increase in funding for this sustainable ingredients effort for 2024 and 2025.
Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results
As a reminder, the business combination of Cibus, Inc. (formerly known as Calyxt, Inc. prior to the business combination) (Legacy Calyxt) and Cibus Global, LLC was completed on May 31, 2023, thus the first five months of the 2023 information provided in the Financial Results, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows is that of Legacy Calyxt only. Year-over-year comparisons are not comparable as 2024 includes the combined company whereas 2023 only includes Legacy Calyxt for the first five months.
- Cash position: Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024, was $28.8 million. Taking into account the impact of implemented cost saving initiatives and without giving effect to potential financing transactions that Cibus is pursuing, Cibus expects that existing cash and cash equivalents will fund planned operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into late in the first quarter of 2025. Cibus' Board continues to evaluate a full range of strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value.
- Research and development (R&D) Expense: R&D expense was $13.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to $17.5 million in the year-ago period. The decrease of $4.5 million is primarily due to lower non-cash stock compensation expense and the strategic realignment and reduction in force announced during the fourth quarter of 2023 which included decreases in personnel costs and supplies.
- Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expense: SG&A expense was $7.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to $8.8 million in the year-ago period. The decrease of $1.1 million is primarily due to lower non-cash stock compensation expense.
- Goodwill impairment: Goodwill impairment was $181.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The non-cash expense is due to the impairment of goodwill acquired in the merger with Cibus Global, LLC completed on May 31, 2023. Considering the decline in the Company's stock price since its last annual assessment of Goodwill, the Company performed a quantitative analysis in the third quarter of 2024 and concluded that its goodwill was impaired.
- Royalty liability interest expense - related parties: Royalty liability interest expense - related parties was $8.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to $8.1 million in the year-ago period. The increase is due to increase in the royalty liability balance.
- Non-operating income (expenses), net: Non-operating income (expenses), net was income of $7.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to expense of $0.9 million in the year-ago period. The increase in income of $8.6 million is driven by the fair value adjustment of the liability classified common warrants.
- Net loss: Net loss was $201.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to $34.5 million in the year-ago period. The increase of $166.9 million in net loss was driven by the $181.4 million non-cash goodwill impairment. Without the goodwill impairment, net loss decreased by $14.5 million primarily related to the items described above.
- Net loss per share of Class A common stock: Net loss per share of Class A common stock was $7.63 for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to $1.59 in the year-ago period. The increase of $6.04 in net loss per share of Class A common stock is primarily driven by the non-cash goodwill impairment which accounted for approximately $7.53 in net loss per share of Class A common stock. This is partially offset by the decreases in net loss described above and a year-over-year increase in weighted average shares outstanding.

About Cibus
Cibus is a leader in gene edited productivity traits that address critical productivity and sustainability challenges for farmers such as diseases and pests which the United Nations estimates cost the global economy approximately $300 billion annually. Cibus is not a seed company. It is a technology company that uses gene editing to develop and license traits to seed companies in exchange for royalties on seed sales. Cibus' long-term focus is productivity traits for farmers for the major global row crops with large acreage such as canola, corn, rice, soybean, and wheat. Cibus is a technology leader in high-throughput gene editing technology that is expected to enable it to develop and commercialize plant traits at a fraction of the time and cost of conventional breeding. Cibus has developed a current pipeline of five productivity traits including important traits for weed management in Rice, Pod Shatter Reduction, and Sclerotinia (disease) resistance, which are its near-term focus.
About the Cibus Trait Machine process and Rapid Trait Development System
A key element of Cibus' technology breakthrough is its high-throughput breeding process (referred to as the Trait Machine process). The Trait Machine process is a crop specific application of Cibus' patented Rapid Trait Development System (RTDS®). The proprietary technologies in RTDS integrate crop specific cell biology platforms with a series of gene editing technologies to enable a system of end-to-end crop specific precision breeding. It is the core technology platform for Cibus' Trait Machine process: the first standardized end-to-end semi-automated crop specific gene editing system that directly edits a seed company's elite germplasm. Each Trait Machine process requires a crop specific cell biology platform that enables Cibus to edit a single cell from a customer's elite germplasm and grow that edited cell into a plant with the Cibus edits.
Cibus believes that RTDS and the Trait Machine process represent the technological breakthrough in plant breeding that is the ultimate promise of plant gene editing: "high- throughput gene editing systems operating as an extension of seed company breeding programs." In 2024, the Trait Machine process was cited by Fast Company Magazine as one of the most innovative products in 2024.
