“The third quarter of 2019 was a productive period for SpringWorks as we completed a successful initial public offering while simultaneously achieving important regulatory and clinical development milestones, including dosing the first patient in our Phase 2b ReNeu trial of mirdametinib for patients with plexiform neurofibromas,” said Saqib Islam, Chief Executive Officer of SpringWorks. “Our team is focused on enrolling patients in our two potentially registrational trials in rare oncology indications and our Phase 1b trial in patients with RAS and RAF mutated solid tumors, and collaborating with our partners to initiate two additional Phase 1 studies in genetically defined cancers by early next year. We also continue to evaluate new business development opportunities to expand our pipeline and maximize the value of our portfolio.”

Third Quarter and Year to Date 2019 Financial Results

Research and Development (R&D) Expenses: R&D expenses as of September 30, 2019 were $10.7 million and $30.4 million for the third quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively, compared to $3.4 million and $6.2 million for the comparable periods of 2018, respectively. The increases in R&D expenses in 2019 are primarily attributable to increased clinical study and drug supply costs related to the ongoing Phase 3 DeFi and Phase 2b ReNeu trials, as well as growth in employee costs, including non-cash share-based compensation associated with increases in the number of R&D personnel.

The increases in G&A expenses in 2019 are primarily attributable to growth in employee costs, including non-cash share-based compensation associated with increases in the number of G&A personnel, and increases in consulting and professional services related to the expansion of our business activities.

Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders: As of September 30, 2019, SpringWorks reported net losses of $16.8 million, or $1.77 loss per share, and $34.4 million, or $9.24 loss per share, for the third quarter and year-to-date periods respectively. This compares to net losses of $5.0 million, or $11.55 loss per share, and $11.6 million, or $44.20 loss per share, for the comparable periods of 2018, respectively.
