Concert Pharmaceuticals Reports First Quarter 2019 Financial Results
Conference Call Scheduled Today at 8:30 a.m. ET
LEXINGTON, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/search?q=%24CNCE&src=ctag” target=”_blank”gt;$CNCElt;/agt; lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/CNCE?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#CNCElt;/agt;–Concert
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: CNCE) today reported financial
results for the first quarter of 2019.
“The progress we are making to advance our pipeline positions us for a
series of significant data readouts in 2019,” said Roger Tung, Ph.D.,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Concert Pharmaceuticals.
“Importantly, we expect data from Phase 2 trials of CTP-543 in alopecia
areata later this year to support an end of Phase 2 meeting with FDA to
discuss our registration strategy. In our schizophrenia program, the
Phase 1 trials with CTP-692 will provide important safety data as we
prepare to move the program into a Phase 2 trial in patients in the
fourth quarter. Both of these clinical programs provide significant
opportunities to address unmet medical needs for patients in sizeable
markets.”
Recent Business Highlights and Upcoming Milestones
CTP-543 for Alopecia Areata
The Company continues to make significant progress toward advancing
CTP-543, a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, for the treatment of
moderate-to-severe alopecia areata, an autoimmune disease in which the
immune system attacks hair follicles resulting in patchy or complete
hair loss. Recent highlights include:
-
Presented CTP-543 Phase 2 Interim Results at American Academy of
Dermatology Annual Meeting. In March 2019, interim results
from the Company’s Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating CTP-543 in
patients with moderate-to-severe alopecia areata were presented in an oral
presentation during the late-breaking clinical trials session at
the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Annual Meeting. The interim
results showed that treatment with CTP-543 administered at an 8 mg
twice-daily dose for 24 weeks met the primary endpoint with a
statistically significant greater hair regrowth responder rate,
compared to placebo. Regrowth of hair did not appear to plateau at
Week 24. The primary endpoint measures the proportion of responders,
defined as a ≥ 50% relative reduction in their overall Severity of
Alopecia Tool (SALT) score from baseline. The responders in the 8 mg
twice-daily dose group were evenly distributed among patients with
patchy alopecia areata and the more severe forms with complete scalp
baldness, alopecia totalis and alopecia universalis. -
CTP-543 Phase 2 Data Presented at World Congress for Hair
Research. In April 2019, the Company presented its CTP-543
Phase 2 interim clinical data evaluating 4 mg and 8 mg twice daily in
patients with alopecia areata in a poster
presentation and in a sponsored lecture at the 11th World Congress
for Hair Research (WCHR) in Barcelona. -
CTP-543 Phase 2 Trial for Alopecia Areata Fully Enrolled.
In January 2019, the Company completed patient enrollment of the final
cohort evaluating 12 mg twice daily of CTP-543 in its Phase 2 trial
for the treatment of moderate-to-severe alopecia areata. Data from the
complete Phase 2 trial, including the 12 mg cohort, is expected in the
third quarter of 2019. -
New CTP-543 Trial Initiated to Evaluate Once-Daily Dosing. In
March 2019, Concert initiated an open label clinical
trial to evaluate once-daily compared to twice-daily oral dosing of
CTP-543 in patients with alopecia areata. The trial, which is expected
to complete in the fourth quarter of 2019, is intended to inform the
optimal dosing regimen for CTP-543 for future clinical studies. -
PTAB Issues Final Written Decision in IPR Proceeding. On
April 8, 2019, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) of the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office issued a final written decision in
connection with the inter partes review (IPR) of U.S. Patent No.
9,249,149 (the ‘149 patent). The PTAB found that the claims of the
‘149 patent are not patentable. The ‘149 patent claims cover the
composition of matter of deuterated analogs of ruxolitinib, including
CTP-543 which Concert is developing for alopecia areata. The Company
intends to appeal the decision to the Federal Circuit. The ‘149 patent
remains valid and enforceable until appeals have been exhausted.
Importantly, this decision is specific to certain patent claims
covering CTP-543 and does not affect other programs in our portfolio.
CTP-692 for Schizophrenia
CTP-692 is a deuterated form of D-serine, an endogenous human co-agonist
of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, that Concert is developing
for the adjunctive treatment of schizophrenia. Recent highlights include:
-
CTP-692 Crossover Results to be Presented at ASCP. The
initial Phase 1 CTP-692 trial evaluated the safety, tolerability, and
pharmacokinetics of a single oral dose of CTP-692 versus D-serine in a
crossover study conducted in Australia. In the study, CTP-692 was
found to have increased plasma exposure compared to D-serine. In
addition, CTP-692 was found to be well tolerated in healthy
volunteers. These results will be presented during the poster session
at The American Society of Clinical Psychopharmacology (ASCP) annual
meeting, being held May 28-31, 2019 in Scottsdale, AZ. -
CTP-692 Phase 1 Single-Ascending Dose Trial Complete. In
the first quarter of 2019, the Company completed a Phase 1
single-ascending dose trial evaluating the safety, tolerability, and
pharmacokinetics of CTP-692 in healthy volunteers. The Phase 1
single-ascending dose trial also evaluated the effect of food on the
pharmacokinetics of the compound. -
CTP-692 Phase 1 Multiple-Ascending Dose Trial Underway. In
April 2019, Concert initiated the Phase 1
multiple-ascending dose trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability,
and pharmacokinetic profile of CTP-692 in healthy volunteers. This
trial is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple-ascending dose
trial assessing CTP-692 dosed orally over seven consecutive
days. Concert intends to report topline results from the single- and
multiple-ascending dose Phase 1 trials in the second quarter of 2019.
AVP-786 for Neurological Disorders
AVP-786 is a combination of ultra-low dose quinidine and
deuterium-modified dextromethorphan, which is being developed by Avanir
Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of Otsuka Pharmaceuticals, under an
exclusive license from Concert. Recent highlights include:
-
AVP-786 First U.S. Phase 3 Trial Completed in February 2019. Avanir
Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of Otsuka Pharmaceuticals, announced the
completion of the first U.S. Phase 3 trial of AVP-786 for the
treatment of agitation associated with Alzheimer’s disease in February
2019. In March 2019, Otsuka announced that the trial, which used the
Sequential Parallel Comparison Design (SPCD), demonstrated a
statistically significant improvement on the primary endpoint on the
Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory for one of the two doses being
evaluated; the other dose demonstrated numerical but not significant
improvement on the SPCD analysis. Similar improvements were also
observed on the key secondary endpoint. Avanir intends to publish the
results in a peer-reviewed journal. -
AVP-786 Second U.S. Phase 3 Trial Expected to Complete in
December 2019. A second U.S. Phase 3 trial evaluating AVP-786
for the treatment of agitation associated with Alzheimer’s disease is
ongoing and Avanir has stated that they expect to complete the trial
in December 2019. -
AVP-786 Phase 2/3 Trial in Negative Symptoms of Schizophrenia
Initiated. In April 2019, Avanir announced the initiation of a
Phase 2/3 clinical trial to evaluate the effect of AVP-786 in treating
negative symptoms of schizophrenia.
VX-561 for Cystic Fibrosis
In 2017, Vertex Pharmaceuticals acquired worldwide rights to VX-561
(formerly CTP-656) from Concert under an asset purchase agreement. If
VX-561 is approved as part of a combination regimen to treat cystic
fibrosis, Concert could receive up to an additional $90 million in
milestones based on regulatory approval in the U.S. and reimbursement in
the UK, Germany or France. Vertex recently announced that it has
initiated two new trials in cystic fibrosis with VX-561:
-
VX-561 Monotherapy Trial in Cystic Fibrosis Initiated. In
the second quarter of 2019, Vertex initiated a Phase 2 dose-ranging
study evaluating the once-daily potentiator VX-561 as a monotherapy as
requested by the FDA. The study is designed to evaluate multiple doses
of VX-561 to support potential Phase 3 development of VX-561 in a
once-daily triple combination regimen. -
VX-561 Phase 2 Triple Combination Trial Initiated.
Vertex has initiated a Phase 2 study evaluating its next-generation
corrector, VX-121, in combination with VX-561 and tezacaftor as a
potential once-daily triple combination regimen.
Corporate Update
-
Jesper Høiland Joins Board of Directors. In April 2019,
Concert announced that Jesper Høiland has been appointed to its Board
of Directors and will serve as a member of its Compensation Committee.
Mr. Høiland is an industry veteran with more than 30 years of
experience in the biopharmaceutical industry across numerous senior
leadership roles, geographies and therapeutic areas. As President and
Chief Executive Officer of Radius Health, Inc., Mr. Høiland
successfully launched Radius’ first commercial product, TYMLOS. Prior
to joining Radius, Mr. Høiland served as President and Executive Vice
President of Novo Nordisk.
First Quarter 2019 Financial Results
-
Cash and Investment Position. Cash, cash equivalents and
investments as of March 31, 2019, totaled $153.8 million as compared
to $153.3 million as of December 31, 2018. In the first quarter of
2019, Concert received $16.0 million initially held in escrow under
the Asset Purchase Agreement with Vertex. Under its current operating
plan, including the acceleration of CTP-543 into late stage
development, the Company expects its cash, cash equivalents and
investments to be sufficient to fund the Company into the second half
of 2020. -
Revenues. Revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2019
was $1.0 million, compared to $10.5 million for the same period in
2018. Revenue recognized in 2019 consists of a $1.0 million upfront
payment from Cipla Technologies under a license agreement whereby
Cipla has worldwide rights to develop and commercialize CTP-354, a
novel GABAA receptor subtype-selective modulator. Under an
existing CTP-354 agreement between Concert and the non-profit
organization Fast Forward, the Company paid half of the upfront to
Fast Forward. Revenue in the first quarter of 2018 relates primarily
to the $10.5 million non-cash consideration received from Processa
Pharmaceuticals under a licensing agreement whereby Processa has
worldwide rights to develop and commercialize CTP-499. -
R&D Expenses. Research and development expenses were
$15.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, compared to $8.7
million for the same period in 2018. The increase in R&D expenses
relate primarily to the clinical development of CTP-543, including
multiple ongoing clinical trials, as well as increased expenses
associated with the manufacturing of CTP-692 to support ongoing
clinical development. -
G&A Expenses. General and administrative expenses
were substantially unchanged at $5.6 million for both the first
quarter of 2019 and the same period of 2018. Decreases in
employee-related expenses were offset by an increase in professional
and legal expenses. -
Net Loss. For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, net loss
applicable to common stockholders was $21.8 million, or $0.93 per
share, compared with a net loss applicable to common stockholders of
$4.5 million, or $0.19 per share, for the quarter ended March 31,
2018. The increase in net loss is a result of both higher R&D spending
in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018,
and higher revenues in 2018 due to an upfront payment from Processa.

Rubicon Organics Reports Q1 2024 Financial Results
SCHWAZZE
Schwazze Announces First Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Schwazze Management to Host Conference Call Today at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time
DENVER, May 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Medicine Man Technologies, Inc., operating as Schwazze, (OTCQX: SHWZ) (Cboe CA: SHWZ) (“Schwazze” or the “Company”), today announced financial and operational results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.
“We delivered another period of revenue growth in Q1 as we further refined our retail strategy while contending with the prolonged competitive challenges in Colorado and New Mexico,” said Forrest Hoffmaster, Interim CEO of Schwazze. “Throughout the quarter, we continued to sharpen our pricing and promotional efforts while enhancing the in-store experience, widening assortment, improving in-stock position, and advancing our loyalty program to attract and retain new customers. We also strengthened our wholesale business with quarter-over-quarter growth, while surpassing 30% total door penetration across both states.”
“The Colorado market remains highly competitive with more than 680 active recreational licenses, underscoring the importance of delivering an exceptional customer experience and fully integrated retail support program. Although retail pricing has recently stabilized, Colorado sales in Q1 were down 10% year-over-year due to lower volumes. Nonetheless, we significantly outpaced the market as our sales were up 9%, demonstrating the effectiveness of our operating playbook to compete in challenging environments. We expect to continue driving improvements in customer acquisition, retention, and loyalty as we further increase market share in the state.”
“In New Mexico, the proliferation of new licenses continued to outpace state cannabis sales as store count in Q1 increased 31% year-over-year while the market grew only 13%. In addition to pricing and promotional efforts, we’ve focused on driving traffic into our stores by expanding assortment with high quality flower and delivering an elevated customer experience. The New Mexico regulatory body has also increased its license enforcement efforts in recent months, contributing to more than 70 store closures and a 33% sequential decrease in net new store openings in the first quarter. We will continue to support the New Mexico Cannabis Control Division as it develops its regulatory framework.”
“Over the past four years we have rapidly scaled our footprint through 13 acquisitions, building a leading retail presence in both Colorado and New Mexico. We are beginning to see positive momentum from our pricing and promotional strategy and will remain focused on driving operating efficiencies while further optimizing our assets as we consolidate cultivation facilities and eliminate underperforming stores that do not meet our high-margin thresholds. We believe these initiatives, coupled with our operating playbook and strict cost controls, will enable us to return to stronger levels of profitability moving forward.”

- Increased wholesale penetration in the first quarter to more than 30% of total doors in Colorado and New Mexico.
- Lowell Herb Co. pre-roll sales increased more than 3x quarter-over-quarter in Colorado, where it continues to be the #1 pre-roll in the state.

First Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Total revenue in the first quarter of 2024 increased 4% to $41.6 million compared to $40.0 million for the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily due to growth from new stores compared to the prior year period, partially offset by continued pricing pressure and the proliferation of new licenses in New Mexico.
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2024 was $17.9 million or 43.1% of total revenue, compared to $21.8 million or 54.6% of total revenue for the same quarter last year. The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by the aforementioned pricing pressure in New Mexico, as well as higher medical sales mix in Colorado.
____________________________ |
1 Q4 2023 Gross Profit includes one-time, non-cash inventory adjustments of approximately $13.1 million comprised of $3.1 million of product consolidation, obsolescence, and shrinkage expenses, $4.3 million of net realizable value adjustments, and $5.8 million of fair value adjustments on acquired inventory in New Mexico in 2023. |
Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2024 were $20.6 million compared to $16.2 million for the same quarter last year. The year-ago period benefitted from a payroll tax credit of $3.9M. The remaining increase was primarily driven by personnel expenses and four-wall SG&A costs associated with 21 additional stores in Colorado and New Mexico that are still ramping.
Loss from operations for the first quarter of 2024 was $2.7 million compared to income from operations of $5.6 million in the same quarter last year. Net loss was $16.1 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to net income of $1.7 million for the same quarter last year.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2024 was $7.3 million compared to $14.5 million for the same quarter last year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by lower gross margin and higher operating expenses associated with the 21 additional stores that are still ramping.
As of March 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents were $13.2 million compared to $19.2 million on December 31, 2023. Total debt as of March 31, 2024, was $159.7 million compared to $156.8 million on December 31, 2023.
