    来源: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 14 8月 2024 07:30:00   America/New_York

    BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J., Aug. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CorMedix Inc. (Nasdaq: CRMD), a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing therapeutic products for life-threatening diseases and conditions, today announced financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024 and provided an update on its business.

    Recent Corporate Highlights:

    • CorMedix today reports our initial partial quarter of sales since DefenCath’s inpatient launch on April 15th. The Company reported net sales of $0.8 million for the second quarter, which primarily represents trade stocking for inpatient facilities. The company has started to see pull-through of units to inpatient facilities in the third quarter, and expects that pace to accelerate over the coming months as DefenCath begins to obtain formulary clearance following health system P&T reviews.
    • In early July 2024, CorMedix launched DefenCath in the outpatient setting. The Company today reports unaudited quarter-to-date net sales of $5.2 million, as of August 13th. Initial sales in the outpatient setting have been driven by orders from small and mid-size dialysis operators, and the company has verified pull-through to the clinic level for more than 95% of these shipments.
    • CorMedix continues discussions with dialysis providers across the spectrum for the implementation of DefenCath and the Company remains optimistic regarding additional commercial supply agreements as the launch proceeds.
    • CorMedix announced last quarter that the Company received supportive feedback from FDA related to our proposed clinical pathway for adult Total Parenteral Nutrition, or TPN, subject to the agency’s review of our final study protocol. CorMedix has submitted the study protocol to FDA and anticipates commencing patient enrollment in the first quarter of 2025.
    • Cash and short-term investments, excluding restricted cash, at June 30, 2024 amounted to $45.6 million.

    Joe Todisco, CorMedix CEO, commented, “I am excited about the Company’s recent progress as we have now launched DefenCath in both the inpatient and outpatient settings. I’m very pleased with the early revenue trajectory from our outpatient launch, as well as the progress we are making on the inpatient P&T formulary process. We have also set the stage for expanded indications for the DefenCath technology, which we believe can have a meaningful impact on bloodstream infection rates in new patient populations beyond adult hemodialysis.”

    Second Quarter and Six Months 2024 Financial Highlights

    For the second quarter of 2024, CorMedix recorded a net loss of $14.2 million, or $0.25 per share, compared with a net loss of $11.3 million, or $0.25 per share, in the second quarter of 2023, an increase of $2.9 million or 26%, driven primarily by an increase in operating expenses.

    Operating expenses in the second quarter 2024 were $15.6 million, compared with $11.8 million in the second quarter of 2023, an increase of approximately 32%. The increase was driven by higher S&M and G&A expenses which increased approximately $4.1 million or 127% and $3.8 million or 101%, respectively. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in research and development expenses of approximately $4.1 million or 86%. The increases in S&M and G&A were primarily driven by increased marketing efforts and the hiring of sales force, medical affairs and marketing personnel in support of the commercial launch of DefenCath. Additionally, as a result of the post FDA approval commercial operations, costs related to medical affairs and certain personnel expenses that supported R&D efforts prior to the FDA approval of DefenCath have been recognized primarily in G&A expense during the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the same period last year during which these items were recognized in R&D, which drove the decrease in R&D expenses for this period compared to the same period last year.

    For the six months ended June 30, 2024, CorMedix recorded a net loss of $28.6 million, or $0.50 per share, compared with a net loss of $21.8 million, or $0.49 per share, in the same period in 2023, an increase of $6.8 million or 31%, driven primarily by an increase in operating expenses, partially offset by the proceeds received from the sale of our unused New Jersey net operating losses. Operating expenses in the first half of 2024 were $31.5 million, compared to $22.8 million in the first half of 2023, an increase of approximately $8.7 million or 38%. This increase was primarily due to costs related to marketing and commercial activities in support of the launch activities of DefenCath, offset by a decrease in R&D expenses, driven by the marketing approval of DefenCath.

    The Company reported cash and short-term investments of $45.6 million at June 30, 2024, excluding restricted cash. The Company believes that it has sufficient resources to fund operations for at least twelve months from the issuance of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
