(Nasdaq: BBIO) (BridgeBio or the Company), a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on genetic diseases and cancers, today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023 and provided an update on the Company’s operations.
“We’ll remain ever grateful for the support of the physicians and patients in the ATTR-CM community, which helped bring the ATTRibute-CM study to its final readout,” said Neil Kumar, Ph.D., founder and CEO of BridgeBio. “With these data in hand, coupled with a pipeline that could produce an additional three pivotal readouts in the next 24 months, we feel we have the ingredients to build a sustainable engine for the patients that we serve in large and small markets alike.”

Recent Corporate Updates:
Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results:
Cash, Cash Equivalents, Marketable Securities and Short-Term Restricted Cash
Cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and short-term restricted cash, totaled $353.2 million as of June 30, 2023, compared to $466.2 million as of December 31, 2022. The net decrease of $113.0 million in cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and short-term restricted cash is primarily attributable to net cash used in operating activities of $257.7 million, offset by net proceeds received of $144.0 million from the Follow-on public offering during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Revenue
Revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $1.6 million and $3.5 million, respectively, as compared to $73.7 million and $75.4 million for the same periods in the prior year. Revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily consisted of $1.5 million and $3.2 million, respectively, of services revenue under the Navire-BMS License Agreement. Revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily consisted of $70.2 million of license revenue and $3.2 million of services revenue under the Navire-BMS License Agreement.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Operating costs and expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 were $147.7 million and $275.7 million, respectively, compared to $153.9 million and $329.3 million for the same periods in the prior year. The overall decrease in operating costs and expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the comparative periods was due mainly to the decreases in research, development and other (R&D) expenses resulting from the Company's reprioritization of its R&D programs; selling, general and administrative expenses resulting from its company-wide streamlining of costs; and restructuring, impairment and related charges since the majority of the restructuring initiatives commenced in the first quarter of 2022. The effects of the Company's restructuring initiative which commenced in the first quarter of 2022, continue to be realized due to the Company's reductions in operating costs and expenses. Restructuring, impairment and related charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, amounted to $3.5 million and $6.9 million, respectively. These charges primarily consisted of winding down, exit costs, and severance and employee-related costs. Restructuring, impairment and related charges for the same periods in the prior year were $8.4 million and $31.1 million, respectively. These charges primarily consisted of impairments and write-offs of long-lived assets, severance and employee-related costs, and exit and other related costs. The Company remains committed to evaluating various restructuring alternatives aimed at driving operational changes in business processes. These alternatives includes enhancing commercialization efforts, improving efficiencies, and achieving cost savings.
Stock-based compensation expenses included in operating costs and expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 were $27.2 million, of which $13.2 million is included in research, development and other (R&D) expenses, $14.0 million is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Stock-based compensation expenses included in operating costs and expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were $28.3 million, of which $14.3 million is included in research, development and other (R&D) expenses, and $14.0 million is included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Stock-based compensation expenses included in operating costs and expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were $50.7 million, of which $25.0 million is included in research, development and other (R&D) expenses, $25.7 million is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Stock-based compensation expenses included in operating costs and expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were $52.6 million, of which $22.9 million is included in research, development and other (R&D) expenses, $28.5 million is included in selling, general and administrative expenses, and $1.2 million is included in restructuring, impairment and related charges.
“Following the recent announcement and strength of our Phase 3 ATTRibute-CM data, we will continue to explore multiple options to fully resource the acoramidis launch while optimizing cost of capital, including partnerships, royalty transactions, and equity financing,” said Brian Stephenson, Ph.D., CFA, Chief Financial Officer of BridgeBio. “We anticipate $300-$350 million of investment will support acoramidis from here through the first 12 months of commercial launch. This coupled with our slate of pivotal readouts over the next 24 months offers the opportunity for meaningful value creation for both patients and investors.”
