ENGLEWOOD, CO / ACCESSWIRE / May 14, 2020 / Aytu BioScience, Inc. (NASDAQ:AYTU), a specialty pharmaceutical company (the "Company") focused on commercializing novel products that address significant medical needs, today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and provided a corporate update.
Third Quarter Fiscal 2020 and Other Recent Corporate Developments:
COVID-19 Update
- The Company secured an exclusive U.S. distribution agreement for a COVID-19 IgG/IgM rapid test from Hong Kong-based L.B. Resources.
- The Company announced a second distribution agreement for a COVID-19 IgG/IgM rapid test with Singapore-based Biolidics Limited.
- The Company received an initial shipment of 100,000 COVID-19 IgG/IgM rapid tests and began shipping to U.S. customers.
- The Company announced positive results from an independently conducted clinical study of the Zhejiang Orient Gene Biotech COVID-19 IgG/IgM rapid test demonstrating test accuracy of 98.0% and 94.1% for IgG and IgM, respectively, when using PCR-positive cases as true positives.
- The Company signed an exclusive worldwide license from Cedars-Sinai to develop and commercialize the Healight Platform Technology ("Healight"). This ultraviolet light-based medical device technology platform, developed by scientists at Cedars-Sinai, is being studied as a potential treatment for coronavirus and other severe respiratory infections.
- The Company signed an agreement with Sterling Medical Devices to finalize the development of Healight.
Rx Business Update
The Company announced the acceptance and publication of the Natesto® Spermatogenesis Study results in the Journal of Urology. The study concluded that Natesto was effective in returning hypogonadal men to back to normal testosterone levels, significantly improve erectile function and quality of life, preserve gonadotropin hormones, and most importantly preserve semen parameters through 6 months of treatment.
Consumer Health Business Update
The Company completed the acquisition of Innovus Pharmaceuticals to expand the Company's portfolio to include an approximately $25 million annual consumer health portfolio.
Company's newly acquired Innovus consumer health subsidiary launched its first post-acquisition product Regoxidine®, an over-the-counter foam formulation of minoxidil for hair regrowth available for use by both men and women, targeting over 11 Million U.S. consumers who purchased hair regrowth products in 2019.
Financial Results and Financing Update
Revenue: The Company recorded revenue of $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of approximately 243% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019, and an increase of approximately 157% compared to the three months ended December 31, 2019.
The Company's third quarter revenue results represent partial revenue contribution from the acquisition of Innovus Pharmaceuticals, which closed on February 14, 2020, and zero revenue contribution from COVID-19 IgG/IgM rapid tests first received at the start of the fiscal fourth quarter on April 1, 2020.
Cash and cash equivalents: As of March 31, 2020, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $62.5 million, compared to $5.5 million as of December 31, 2019.
Shares Outstanding: At March 31, 2020, the Company had 100,610,380 shares of common stock outstanding. There are currently no outstanding preferred shares.
Financings: The Company completed three registered direct offerings priced at-the-market and announced the exercise of 17.1 million warrants.
Commenting on the third quarter of fiscal 2020, Josh Disbrow, Chief Executive Officer of Aytu BioScience, stated, "We had a transformative third quarter and have had exceptional performance in the period year to date. Starting with revenue, in Q3 we reported our highest ever revenue quarter with $8.2 million in top line, up 243% year over year. Additionally, through our recent equity offerings and warrant exercises we strengthened our balance sheet and have $62.5 million in cash, restricted cash, and cash equivalents as of March 31st. Further, by signing two distribution agreements for COVID-19 rapid tests and securing an exclusive worldwide licensing agreement with Cedars-Sinai for the Healight technology platform, the Company is well positioned to continue to take the fight to COVID-19. With a large number of tests having just arrived at our warehouse this week, we can now help even more providers screen patients for COVID-19 IgG and IgM antibodies as we collectively work to reopen the country."
Mr. Disbrow continued, "Looking at our growth drivers beyond fiscal Q3, the Company has three strategic areas from which we expect to make progress going forward: growth of our organic Rx and consumer health business segments, continuing the distribution of the two COVID-19 antibody test kits for which we've secured distribution rights, and progressing the development of the Healight platform technology as a prospective treatment for COVID-19 and other severe infections. Organically in Q4, we will have our first full quarter of revenue contribution from the newly acquired Innovus consumer health segment. Importantly, the consumer business has already launched Regoxidine, for hair regrowth, and more near-term consumer health product launches are planned. With respect to the prescription business, we reported recently published Phase IV data for Natesto and demonstrated that a testosterone replacement therapy can increase serum testosterone levels while maintaining sperm concentration, motility, and total motile sperm count. We believe this clinical development enables Natesto to stand apart from other testosterone replacement therapies in offering a treatment solution for hypogonadal men wishing to maintain fertility. In terms of COVID-19 testing revenue, we began shipping product in April, so we expect a significant increase in revenue in Q4 now that those test sales are under way. Additionally, we signed an exclusive global license with Cedars-Sinai for Healight, which represents a novel opportunity as a potential treatment for COVID-19 and other serious infections for hospitalized patients."
Mr. Disbrow concluded, "When considering our organic growth, a $62.5 million cash balance, our expected revenue from the COVID-19 antibody test kits, the addition of the Healight opportunity, and a cleaned-up capital structure, I have never been more optimistic about the future of Aytu BioScience."
