Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter Ended December 31, 2021

Zosano reported a net loss for the fourth quarter of 2021 of $7.0 million, or $0.06 per share on a basic and diluted basis, compared with a net loss of $8.1 million, or $0.08 per share on a basic and diluted basis, for the same quarter in 2020.

Research and development expenses for the fourth quarter were $4.7 million, compared with $5.4 million for the same quarter in 2020. The decrease of $0.7 million was primarily due to a reduction in material purchases.

General and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2021 were $2.3 million compared with $2.6 million in 2020. The decrease of $0.3 million was primarily due to a decrease in professional service fees and employee expenses.

As of December 31, 2021, cash and cash equivalents were $11.0 million, compared with $35.3 million as of December 31, 2020.

Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2021

Zosano reported a net loss for the full year 2021 of $29.9 million, or $0.27 per share on a basic and diluted basis, compared with a net loss of $33.4 million, or $0.49 per share on a basic and diluted basis, for the full year 2020.

Research and development expenses for the full year 2021 were $21.0 million, compared with $21.6 million in 2020. The decrease of $0.6 million was primarily due to lower employee expenses and material purchases, partially offset by higher clinical trial costs and increased depreciation.

General and administrative expenses for the full year 2021 were $10.5 million, compared with $11.2 million in 2020. The decrease of $0.7 million was primarily due to reduced market research activities and other professional service fees.
