- Reported non-GAAP income from operations, excluding stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, of $422,000
- Validated 6 therapeutic discovery targets
Ronnie Morris, CEO of Champions, commented, "On our year-end earnings call, we outlined the transformative strategic vision for Champions with the expansion of our services to include a Software as a Service ("SaaS") business and therapeutic target discovery platform. During the first quarter, we continued executing that strategy as we added new users to our SaaS platform and by advancing our therapeutic targets through the development pipeline."
David Miller, CFO of Champions, added, "During Q1 2022, we hit another quarterly revenue record surpassing $11 million for the first time. Operating income excluding stock compensation and depreciation expenses exceeded $400,000 even as we ramped up our R&D investment to support our new strategic initiatives."
First Fiscal Quarter Financial Results
For the first quarter of fiscal 2022, revenue increased 17.9% to $11.3 million compared to $9.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The increase in revenue was due to a continued increase in sales, both in number and size of studies, and the expansion of our platforms and business lines. Total costs and operating expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 were $11.4 million compared to $9.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2021, an increase of $1.9 million or 20.0%.
For the first quarter of fiscal 2022, Champions reported a loss from operations of $175,000, including $280,000 in stock-based compensation and $317,000 in depreciation and amortization expenses, compared to income from operations of $24,000, inclusive of $120,000 in stock-based compensation and $277,000 in depreciation and amortization expenses, in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Excluding stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization expenses, Champions reported non-GAAP income from operations of $422,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to non-GAAP income from operations of $421,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
Cost of oncology solutions was $5.4 million for the three-months ended July 31, 2021, an increase of $60,000, or 1.1% compared to $5.3 million for the three-months ended July 31, 2020. For the three- months ended July 31, 2021, gross margin was 52.0% compared to 44.1% for the three-months ended July 31, 2020. The nominal increase in cost of sales was primarily due to reducing our reliance on outsourcing lab work by performing the work internally. The associated cost reduction offset the increase in compensation and lab supply expenses resulting from the increase in study volume. The nominal increase in cost of sales on revenue growth of $1.7 million led to the improvement in gross margin.
Research and development expense for the three-months ended July 31, 2021 was $2.3 million, an increase of $707,000 or 44.3%, compared to $1.6 million for the three-months ended July 31, 2020. The increase was primarily from compensation and lab supplies as we increased investment in our therapeutic discovery platforms. Sales and marketing expense for the three-months ended July 31, 2021 was $1.6 million, an increase of $366,000, or 30.3%, compared to $1.2 million for the three-months ended July 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to compensation expense driven by the continued investment in expanding our business development team, including the addition of a dedicated SaaS business development team for our Lumin Bioinformatics platform. General and administrative expense for the three-months ended July 31, 2021 was $2.2 million, an increase of $772,000, or 55.9%, compared to $1.4 million for the three-months ended July 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase in compensation, which included $123,000 of additional stock compensation expense, as well as an increase in IT related expenses and depreciation and amortization.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $216,000 for the three-months ended July 31, 2021.The cash generated from operating activities was primarily due to operating income excluding stock compensation, depreciation and amortization expenses.
The Company ended the quarter with a strong cash position of $4.0 million. The Company has no debt.

* Non-GAAP Financial Information
See the attached Reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to Non-GAAP net income for an explanation of the amounts excluded to arrive at Non-GAAP net income and related Non-GAAP earnings per share amounts for the three months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020. Non-GAAP financial measures provide investors and management with supplemental measures of operating performance and trends that facilitate comparisons between periods before and after certain items that would not otherwise be apparent on a GAAP basis. Certain unusual or non-recurring items that management does not believe affect the Company's basic operations do not meet the GAAP definition of unusual or non-recurring items. Non-GAAP net income and Non-GAAP earnings per share are not, and should not, be viewed as a substitute for similar GAAP items. Champions defines Non-GAAP dilutive earnings per share amounts as Non-GAAP net earnings divided by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding. Champions' definition of Non-GAAP net earnings and Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share may differ from similarly named measures used by other companies.
