Revelation Biosciences, Inc. Announces Financial Results for the Three Months Ending March 31, 2024
SAN DIEGO, May 10, 2024–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Revelation Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: REVB) (the “Company” or “Revelation”), a clinical-stage life sciences company focused on harnessing the power of trained immunity for the prevention and treatment of disease, today reported its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Results of Operations
As of March 31, 2024, Revelation had $14.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $12.0 million as of December 31, 2023.

Revelation’s net cash used for operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $2.8 million compared to net cash used for operating activities of $1.6 million for the same period in 2023. Revelation’s net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $2.7 million, or $2.46 basic and diluted net loss per share, compared to net income of $6.2 million , or US$45.52 and US$37.07 of basic and diluted net loss per share for the same period in 2023, respectively.
The change in net cash used for operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to March 31, 2023 was primarily due to expenses for GEM-AKI and GEM-SSI clinical studies. The change in net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024, relative to net income for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was primarily due to the change in the fair value of the warrant liability, creating a gain of US$7.7 million during the three months ended.

Gemini is a proprietary formulation of phosphorylated hexaacyl disaccharide (PHAD®) for systemic administration. It is being developed for multiple indications, including as a pretreatment to prevent or reduce the severity and duration of postsurgical infection (GEMINI-SSI program), as a pretreatment to prevent or reduce the severity and duration of acute kidney injury (program GEMINI-AKI ). Additionally, Gemini may be a treatment to stop or slow the progression of chronic kidney disease (GEMINI-CKD program).
