Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results
- As of September 30, 2023, CARGO had cash and cash equivalents of $60.3 million and approximately $438 million, as adjusted for the net proceeds from the third tranche of the Company's Series A financing in October and its IPO in November which it expects will fund operations through 2025.
- Research and development (R&D) expenses were $22.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to $8.5 million for the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in contract manufacturing, preclinical, and clinical costs for the CRG-022 program and increased headcount in research and development teams to support development efforts.
- General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $6.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to $1.6 million for the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to the expansion of administrative functions to support business operations and to prepare CARGO to operate as a public company.
- Net loss was $35.5 million, or $47.37 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. This compares with a net loss of $12.3 million, or $28.38 per basic and diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.
