Interleukin Genetics Reports Third Quarter 2014 Financial Results


WALTHAM, Mass. --(Business Wire)--

Interleukin Genetics, Inc. (OTCQB:ILIU) today announced financial and operational results for the third fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2014.

"During the third quarter, we gained additional visibility and positive recognition among important influencers in dentistry and molecular diagnostics by participating in several key conferences, including the American Dental Association annual meeting, the American Academy of Periodontology annual meeting and the BTIG Inaugural Emerging Technologies in Healthcare Diagnostics Symposium," said Dr. Kenneth Kornman, Chief Executive Officer of Interleukin Genetics. "We recognize the need to both increase utilization of PerioPredict™ among covered patients, while increasing the number of insurance payors who will cover this innovative genetic test. To that end, we continue to educate dental offices about the benefits of the test, and continue to advance discussions with several prominent dental insurance providers who are considering adding PerioPredict™ to their list of covered services. PerioPredict™ has been shown to be an effective tool to identify an individual's risk for developing severe periodontal disease, which helps dental offices improve and personalize patient care, which will provide better health and reduce long-term costs.

Third Quarter 2014 Financial Results

Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, were $472,000, compared to $419,000 for the same period in 2013. The increase in total revenue is primarily attributable to the addition of breakage revenue and international sales royalties in 2014 and revenues from the PerioPredict™ test, offset in part by a reduction in revenues from the Inherent Health product lines.

Research and development expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, were $242,000, compared to $161,000 for the same period in 2013. The increase is primarily attributable to increased compensation related to employee annual salary performance increases as well as separation payments.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, were $1.3 million, compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 2013. The decrease is primarily attributable to decreased expenses related to marketing activities for our PerioPredict™ test, decreased consulting and professional expenses and lower sales commissions paid to Amway Global as part of our Merchant Network and Channel Partner (News - Alert) Agreement.

Net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, was $1.5 million, or $(0.01) per basic and diluted common share, compared to $2.2 million or $(0.02) per basic and diluted common share for the same period in 2013.

Cash and cash equivalents were $2.6 million as of September 30, 2014, which is sufficient to fund the Company's operations through February 2015.

Third Quarter 2014 Highlights

  • Received the 2014 DrBicuspid Dental Excellence Award for PerioPredict™: In October, PerioPredict™ received the DrBicuspid Dental Excellence Award for "Best New Hygienist Product," and Dr. Kornman was presented with the award at the 2014 American Dental Association (ADA) Annual Meeting. The Dental Excellence Awards are based on votes cast by more than 50,000 dental professionals and recognize the very best people, products and services that are helping to improve dental health. The votes are cast by members of the DrBicuspid.com professional community and DrBicuspid.com readers, and honor the best of what dentistry has to offer.
  • Received the 2014 Clinical Research Award for PerioPredict™: In September, Dr. Kornman and Dr. Lynn Doucette-Stamm, Vice President of Development and Clinical Operations, together with their co-authors, received the prestigious Clinical Research Award for PerioPredict™ at the 100th American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) Annual Meeting and Anniversary Celebration. This award recognizes a published scientific manuscript that has direct clinical relevance to periodontics. The study, titled "Patient Stratification for Preventive Care in Dentistry," provided important new insights into the prevention of periodontal disease and the significant opportunity to improve oral health through a personalized approach to preventive care. The article was originally published in the Journal of Dental Research (June 2013).
  • Provided Expert Commentary Regarding the Future of Periodontology at Investor and Scientific Events: In September, Dr. Kornman was one of three keynote panelists selected for the Opening General Session of the AAP, titled "Pillars of the Past, Foundation for the Future." Also at the AAP, Dr. Kornman was one of the presenters at a course, titled "The Role of Emerging Diagnostics in Periodontal Practice." At BTIG's Inaugural Emerging Technologies in Healthcare Diagnostics Symposium in New York, Dr. Kornman participated in a panel discussion titled "Learned Lessons from Stakeholders - How Much do Economics Matter?" and gave a presentation on the Company's PerioPredict™ genetic test.
