Earnings: Aethlon Medical FY19 loss widens despite higher revenues
Aethlon Medical (Nasdaq: AEMD) reported a wider net loss for fiscal 2019 when the company’s revenues increased. Shares of the therapeutic technology company gained during Monday’s extended trading after closing the regular session higher.
The San Diego, California-based company reported a net loss of $6.2 million or $0.34 per share for 2019, compared to a loss of $5.7 million or $0.46 per share last year. The bottom-line was negatively impacted by higher operating expenses and costs related to clinical trials.
At $0.23 million, full-year revenues were higher by 53% compared to fiscal 2018. Consolidated operating expenses for the year were $6.2 million, higher by 24% from $5 million reported last year. The increase was mainly due to separation payments made to the company’s former CEO and former president.
Operating expenses also included a significant amount paid as professional fees, which reflects an increase in scientific consulting fees related to clinical trials and legal fees.
