IGC Reports Financial Results for Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2023

POTOMAC, Md.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#IGC–IGC Pharma, Inc. (“IGC” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: IGC), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company, today announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 (“Fiscal 2023”).


Full Fiscal Year Highlights and Events Subsequent Thereto

Ram Mukunda, CEO of IGC, commented, “Fiscal 2023 was characterized by remarkable growth and progress as we continue to advance our drug formulations through FDA trials. IGC-AD1 is delivering strong results as it progresses through Phase 2B trials. We are delighted with the positive headway we are making in clinical trials, and we remain confident in the potential of IGC-AD1 to be a groundbreaking therapy, with the potential to treat Alzheimer’s and to manage devastating symptoms that separate families, increase admissions to nursing homes, and drive the cost of Alzheimer’s care. In addition to IGC-AD1, we continue to identify and acquire drug formulations that we believe have the potential to treat the symptoms brought on by a variety of chronic illnesses. Moreover, we continue to expand the market presence of our consumer products, as evidenced by a 129% increase in revenue compared to last year. Overall, we are very pleased with the progress we have made in Fiscal 2023 and believe that we are uniquely and advantageously positioned with a vertically integrated business model to continue driving growth through fiscal 2024 and beyond.”

Financial Summary

In Fiscal 2023, the Company generated approximately $911,000 in revenue, representing an increase of 129% compared to $397,000 generated in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 (“Fiscal 2022). The primary source of revenue was the Life Sciences segment and the Company’s formulations as white-labeled manufactured products and sales of branded holistic women’s health care products, among others.

The Company reported Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for Fiscal 2023 of approximately $8.5 million, representing a decrease of approximately $4.7 million, or 36%, compared to the $13.2 million recorded in Fiscal 2022. This decline in SG&A expenses are attributable to a reduction in one-time expenses of approximately $4.2 million and a decrease of approximately $500 thousand in compensation, legal and marketing expenses, net realizable value (“NRV”) adjustments, and other SG&A expenses.

In Fiscal 2023, the Company reported research and development (“R&D”) expenses of approximately $3.5 million, representing an increase of $1.2 million or 49% compared to approximately $2.3 million in Fiscal 2022. The increase in R&D expenses is primarily attributed to the progression of Phase 2 trials on IGC-AD1 and pre-clinical studies on TGR-63, indicating the Company’s dedication to advancing its product pipeline. As the development of TGR-63 and the Phase 2B trial on Alzheimer’s gain momentum, the Company anticipates further increases in R&D expenses attributable to the progression of Phase 2 trials on IGC-AD1 and pre-clinical studies on TGR-63. We anticipate increased R&D expenses as the development of TGR-63 and the Phase 2B trial on Alzheimer’s pick up more momentum.

Net loss for Fiscal 2023 was approximately $11.5 million or $0.22 per share, compared to approximately $15 million or $0.30 per share for Fiscal 2022.
