LONDON and NEW YORK, 20 November, 2024 - Renalytix plc (LSE: RENX) (OTCQB: RNLXY), an artificial intelligence-enabled in vitro diagnostics company, focused on optimizing clinical management of kidney disease to drive improved patient outcomes and advance value-based care, reports its financial results for the fiscal quarter of 2025 ended September 30, 2024.

James McCullough, CEO of Renalytix commented: "We are pleased to have positioned Renalytix financially and commercially for what we believe will be an exciting fiscal year that represents a breakout from our development phase into a commercially focused business leveraging growth within the large and unaddressed market we serve.

First Quarter 2025 Financial Results
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized $0.52 million of revenue, compared to $0.46 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, was $0.42 million and $0.50 million, respectively.
Total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were $4.2 million, and down over 50% from $8.8 million during the prior year period.
Within operating expenses, research and development expenses were $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, decreasing by $1.9 million from $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was attributable to a decrease in external R&D projects and studies, lower compensation and related benefits and a reduction in operating expenses.
General and administrative expenses were $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, decreasing by $2.8 million from $6.1 million for the prior year period with the decrease driven by significant cost cutting measures.
Net loss was $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, down over 50% from a net loss of $10.1 million for the prior year period.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $0.9 million as of September 30, 2024.
Equity financing rounds, restructuring of liabilities and reduction in expenses allow sufficient cash for at least next twelve months
During October and November 2024 the Company secured additional rounds of equity financing comprising £11.8m (approximately US$14.9 million) in commitments and concurrently restructured a number of liabilities on the balance sheet. This additional equity funding, the reduction of cash expenses related to the Company's liabilities, and an overall reduction in General and Administrative Expenses have significantly changed the Company's financial position relative to cash needs. As a result, the Company believes that as of November 2024, it now has sufficient cash on the Balance Sheet to fund current operations. While the possibility exists that the Company may seek additional capital, it is not required to sustain current operations for the next twelve months.
