February 16, 2016 7:05 AM EST

DANBURY, CT -- (Marketwired) -- 02/16/16 -- Biodel Inc. (NASDAQ: BIOD) today reported financial results for the first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2015.

Corporate updates since last fiscal quarter:

  • In October 2015, the company committed to a restructuring plan designed to reduce infrastructure costs and improve efficiency of research and quality-related activities. The company estimated that it will incur one-time cash severance payments of approximately $0.3 million in connection with the October 2015 restructuring and reduce its cash burn by approximately $2 million annually.
  • In December 2015, the company announced a plan to explore strategic alternatives to further realize value from its pipeline assets and to preserve the company's cash balance. 
  • In January 2016, the company committed to an additional restructuring plan designed to further reduce operating costs while it evaluates its strategic alternatives. The company estimated that it will incur one-time cash severance payments of approximately $1.3 million in connection with the January 2016 restructuring and will reduce its average operating cash burn to approximately $1.1 million per quarter.
  • The company has retained Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. to assist with the review of strategic alternatives. Also, the company announced in January 2016 that its board of directors appointed Gary G. Gemignani as interim chief executive officer, with primary responsibility of managing the strategic alternatives process.

"As recently announced, we have significantly reduced our operating cash burn and are focused on exploring strategic alternatives that can provide substantial value to our shareholders," said Gary Gemignani, Biodel's interim CEO. "While we cannot predict the timing of when the process may conclude, we plan to execute expeditiously and look forward to providing an update as we move forward."
