"We remain highly focused on advancing our multiple clinical programs as we work towards achieving a number of important and potentially transformational development milestones, including top-line results in 2026 for our actively enrolling confirmatory Phase 3 placebo-controlled study evaluating HyBryte (synthetic hypericin) in the treatment of early-stage cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL)," stated Christopher J. Schaber, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Soligenix. In the second half of this year, we also anticipate reporting top-line results from our ongoing Phase 2 studies for SGX945 (dusquetide) in Behçet’s disease and SGX302 (synthetic hypericin) in mild-to-moderate psoriasis."

Dr. Schaber continued, "With approximately $7.8 million in cash at December 31, 2024, we are committed to disciplined resource allocation to achieve our strategic goals. While this cash balance provides operating runway through 2025, we continue to evaluate all strategic options, including partnership, merger and acquisition, government grants, and potential financing opportunities to advance our late-stage pipeline and the Company."

Financial Results – Quarter Ended December 31, 2024

Soligenix reported revenues of $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $0.8 million for the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to the timing of government grant funding and contracts supporting the development of SGX943 for emerging infectious diseases, as well as the development of CiVax and HyBryte. While we continue to receive government funding, fluctuations in grant timing may impact quarterly and annual revenues.

Soligenix’s net loss was $8.3 million, or ($4.98) per share, for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $6.1 million, or ($12.66) per share, for the prior year. The change in net loss per share reflects the Company’s one-for-sixteen reverse stock split, which was completed in June 2024. The overall increase in net loss was primarily due to lower revenue, higher research and development expenses associated with clinical trial activities, and changes in tax benefits, partially offset by increased interest income, tax credits and the change in the fair value of debt.

Research and development expenses were $5.2 million as compared to $3.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase was primarily related to preliminary costs associated with the initiation of our Phase 2 study in Behçet’s Disease and the second confirmatory Phase 3 CTCL trial offset by an adjustment of estimated accruals for completed clinical trials.

General and administrative expenses were $4.2 million and $4.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to decreases in legal and consulting expenses.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s cash position was approximately $7.8 million.
