‒ Q3 2024 Net Revenue of $11.5 million ‒ ‒ Commercializing DefenCath with Four of Top Five US Dialysis Providers ‒ ‒ Conference Call Scheduled for Today at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time ‒ BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J., Oct. 30, 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 third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and provided an update on its business. Recent Corporate Highlights: CorMedix today reports its first full quarter of DefenCath sales since commencing outpatient launch in July 2024. The Company reported net sales of $11.5 million for the third quarter, largely driven by successful implementation by an initial anchor customer, a mid-sized dialysis operator.During the third quarter, CorMedix announced commercial agreements with a large dialysis operator and two new mid-sized dialysis operators and now has commercial agreements providing access to roughly 60% of outpatient dialysis centers in the US. CorMedix is actively working with these customers to initiate DefenCath utilization in the 4th quarter of 2024.The Company has started to see pull-through of units to inpatient facilities as health systems begin to complete P&T reviews and provide patients access to DefenCath. CorMedix remains focused on building brand advocacy with key opinion leaders in this setting of care.Following FDA feedback, the Company is in the final stages of amending the clinical study protocol for Total Parenteral Nutrition, or TPN, and anticipates FDA submission by mid-November to align with our plans to operationalize the study in the first half of 2025. In addition, CorMedix remains on track with a real-world evidence study, the pediatric hemodialysis study, and the expanded access program for DefenCath.Cash and short-term investments, excluding restricted cash, at September 30, 2024 amounted to $46.0 million. Joe Todisco, CorMedix CEO, commented, “I am excited about the Company’s recent progress as we execute on our launch objectives and increase patient access to DefenCath across settings of care. Having established patient access at roughly 60% of outpatient dialysis clinics in the US, I’m optimistic about the opportunity for DefenCath as we shift focus toward 2025. We have several important clinical initiatives commencing early next year aimed at expanding indications for DefenCath beyond adult hemodialysis, providing an important catalyst for future growth.” Third Quarter and Nine Months 2024 Financial Highlights For the third quarter of 2024, CorMedix recorded $11.5 million in net revenue from sales of DefenCath for the first full quarter sales since DefenCath was launched in 2024. For the third quarter of 2024, CorMedix recorded a net loss of $2.8 million, or $0.05 per share, compared with a net loss of $9.7 million, or $0.17 per share, in the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of $6.9 million or 72%. The decrease in net loss was driven primarily by the launch of DefenCath and net sales in the period. Operating expenses in the third quarter 2024 were $14.1 million, compared with $10.5 million in the third quarter of 2023, an increase of approximately 34%. The increase was driven by higher selling and marketing (S&M) and general and administrative (G&A) expenses which increased approximately 66% and 76%, respectively. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in research and development (R&D) expenses of approximately 73%. 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 September 30, 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, CorMedix recorded a net loss of $31.4 million, or $0.54 per share, compared with a net loss of $31.6 million, or $0.65 per share, in the same period in 2023, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 0.6%, driven primarily by $12.3 million in net revenue and proceeds received from the sale of our unused New Jersey net operating losses, offset by an increase in operating expenses. Operating expenses in the first nine months of 2024 were $45.5 million, compared to $33.3 million during the comparative period in 2023, an increase of approximately 37%. This increase was primarily due to costs related to marketing and commercial activities in support of the launch activities of DefenCath, partially offset by a decrease in R&D expenses, attributable to the marketing approval of DefenCath. The Company reported cash and short-term investments of $46.0 million as of September 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 for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
