SOUTH EASTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / May 16, 2023 / Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (OTCQB:PBIO) ("PBIO" or the "Company"), a leader in the development and sale of broadly enabling, high pressure-based equipment, consumables, and specialty testing services to the worldwide biotherapeutics, nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals, food & beverage, and other industries, today reported that record quarterly financial results for any fiscal quarter was achieved in the first quarter ended March 31, 2023. The Company also provided a business update and offered guidance for expected pivotal achievements through 2023.

Financial Highlights: Q1 2023 vs. Q1 2022 (rounded to nearest hundredth, except EPS)

  • Total revenue for Q1 2023 was $740,600, an increase of 54% from $480,000 for Q1 2022.
  • Instrument sales for Q1 2023 were $427,500, an increase of 74% from $245,600 for Q1 2022.

  • PBI Agrochem sales for Q1 2023 were $130,700 as compared to $83,300 for Q1 2022, an increase of 57%.
  • Operating loss for Q1 2023 was $3,637,700 compared to $1,086,300 for Q1 2022. This increase in operating loss was due to a non-cash expense of $1,480,900 for stock and warrant issuances to debt holders/professional services groups and to a non-cash expense of $1,430,200 for equity-based compensation awards.
  • Cash used from operations in Q1 2023 was $422,200 as compared to $756,300 in Q1 2022, a decrease of 44%.
  • Basic and diluted net loss per share was $(0.46) for Q1 2023, a decrease from $(0.48) from Q1 2022.

The Company reduced its cash burn from operations by 44% YoY to just $422,000 in the first quarter 2023, reflecting our ongoing focus on disciplined cash management. During Q1 of 2023, the Company issued several one-time stock issuances to certain debt holders and investor relations firms, to assist with critical corporate financing and development initiatives and public and private investor development. Management is confident that these investments will assist in focusing investor attention on our pivotal progress, as we proceed through commercialization of our UltraShear platform. During the quarter, the Company also issued stock options to employees and directors for the first time since 2019, recognizing the importance of incentive compensation in the retention of critical staff. The awards were issued at an above-market exercise price.

Mr. Richard T. Schumacher, President and CEO of PBI, stated: "Our anticipated ramping and expansion of UltraShear commercialization activities is now underway. We plan to ship the first production batch of Nano-CBD to our Maryland distributor for commercial sale within a week. The second batch - to a distributor in Massachusetts - should follow before the end of May. In addition, we have achieved important progress in the development of the next generation of anti-aging skincare, with our successful high quality nanoemulsification of oil-based retinol. We continue to progress smoothly towards our announced goal of developing several high-impact, market-changing products with extraordinarily potent bioavailability that we believe have never been available or commercialized until now: nanoemulsified hair replacement products, nanoemulsified immune booster products, and nanoemulsified sleep enhancement products. To our team of investors and employees, we share gratitude and anticipation over this exciting time to be a PBIO shareholder!"
