Theralase Increases Revenue 15% in 2014 Financials

May 1, 2015

We will be having the Theralase CEO and President, Roger White on the weekend show this week. Tune in tomorrow to hear what he has to say.

Toronto, Ontario / TheNewswire / May 1, 2015, Theralase Technologies Inc. (“Theralase” or the “Company”) (TLT: TSXV) (TLTFF: OTC Pink(R)) released its 2014 financial results today, demonstrating an increase of 15% year over year in revenue.

In 2014 and early 2015, Theralase has made dramatic strides in both its Therapeutic Laser Therapy (“TLT“) and Photo Dynamic Therapy (“PDT“) anti-cancer divisions.

In the TLT division, Theralase has completed the design and initial manufacture of its next generation TLC-2000 therapeutic laser technology and is currently awaiting final Health Canada approval to launch in Canada. The TLC-2000 with patented Cell SensingTM technology is able to determine the precise location of injured tissue in a patient based upon their physical characteristics and automatically deliver an optimal dose of healing laser light energy safely and effectively to heal the damaged tissue faster and more effectively than any other laser system on the market.

In the PDT division, Theralase has significantly advanced its anti-cancer technology, focused initially on the treatment of Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (“NMIBC“), and is gearing up for enrollment of patients in a Health Canada Phase Ib clinical study.

To meet this goal, Theralase has:

  • -Assembled an illustrious Medical and Scientific Advisory Board (“MSAB“) in 4Q2014

    -Presented its anti-cancer technology to Health Canada during a Clinical Trial Application (“CTA“) meeting that occurred in 1Q2015

    -Commenced the manufacturing process of its lead Photo Dynamic Compound (“PDC“) TLD-1433 to Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP“) certification standards for completion of a Drug Master File (“DMF“) slated for 3Q2015

    -Secured a toxicology analysis lab to evaluate TLD-1433

    -Commenced compiling the clinical protocol and investigator’s brochure

Completion of these key objectives will result in submission of a CTA package to Health Canada in 3Q2015 and pending approval, enrolling patients that meet the inclusion / exclusion criteria into a Phase Ib clinical study for NMIBC in 4Q2015.

Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014 increased 15% to $1,380,604 from $1,203,620 year over year.

The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $2,587,542 (including $291,534 of net non-cash expenses) compared to a net loss of $1,152,209 in 2013 (including $211,543 of net non-cash expenses).

The net loss is a reflection of the ongoing commitment of Theralase to invest in the next generation of therapeutic laser technology and state-of-the-art anti-cancer treatment technology, partly funded from existing therapeutic laser sales.

Selling and marketing expenses increased 38% to $598,178 from $433,622 for the same period in 2013, primarily due to increased spending in associated marketing costs.

Administrative expenses increased 54% to $1,448,781 from $942,069 for the same period in 2013. The increase in administrative expenditures was due to increased spending on investor relations activities and medical advisory fees.

Research and development costs increased 176% to $1,455,301 from $527,233 for the same period in 2013. The increase was due to increased expenditures and investment into the commercialization of the TLC-2000 therapeutic laser technology and research and development of the TLC-3000 anti-cancer technology.

Roger Dumoulin-White, President and CEO of Theralase stated that, “2014 was a very strategic year for Theralase, where we made dramatic strides forward in both our TLT and PDT divisions. 2015 will be even more exciting with the planned launch of the TLC-2000 and the commencement of a Health Canada Phase Ib clinical study for NMIBC.”
