ENGLEWOOD, CO / ACCESSWIRE / February 11, 2021 / Aytu BioScience, Inc. (NASDAQ:AYTU) (the “Company”), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on commercializing novel products that address significant patient needs today reported financial results for its fiscal second quarter 2021, for the three-month period ending December 31, 2020.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2021 Financial Highlights

  • Q2 Net Revenue was an all-time high of $15.1 million, compared to $13.5 million in Q1 2021.
  • Q2 Consumer Health division Net Revenue was an all-time high of $7.9 million, compared to $7.8 million in Q1 2021.
  • Q2 Rx division Net Revenue was $7.2 million, compared to $5.8 million in Q1 2021.
  • Q2 2021 Net Loss of $9.5 million and adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.8 million.
  • Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $62.3 million on December 31, 2020.

Definitive Merger Agreement

  • On December 10, 2020, Aytu BioScience and Neos Therapeutics announced a definitive merger agreement, creating a combined $100 million revenue specialty pharmaceutical company.

Commenting on the second quarter of fiscal 2021, Josh Disbrow, Chief Executive Officer of Aytu BioScience, stated “Net revenue increased substantially in Q2 2021, to $15.1 million, compared to $3.2 million for Q2 2020. It is important to point out that this was only the third full quarter of revenue contribution from the combined Aytu and Innovus businesses, along with the acquired Cerecor pediatric assets. Turning to the bottom line, adjusted EBITDA loss was reduced to just $1.8 million for Q2 2021. On the balance sheet, we are in a strong position with approximately $62 million in cash. We are well positioned from an operational and financial standpoint as we move closer to our expected closing of the Neos merger by the second calendar quarter.”

Mr. Disbrow continued, “Taking a closer look at the top line, on the Rx side, net revenue was $7.2 million, a 24% increase compared to last quarter, Q1 2021. Rx revenue growth was driven by growth of Poly-Vi-Flor®, our pediatric multivitamin and fluoride supplement product line, with revenue contribution across the prescription portfolio inclusive of Natesto®, Karbinal® ER, and COVID-19 test kits. For the Consumer Health division, we generated $7.9 million in net revenue, an all-time high and an increase compared to last quarter. Contributing to those results was a strengthened e-commerce business driven by OmepraCare®, our over-the-counter proton pump inhibitor for acid reflux, Regoxidine®, our over-the-counter foam formulation of minoxidil for hair loss, and FlutiCare®, our over-the-counter fluticasone propionate nasal spray indicated to treat nasal and allergy-related symptoms. Additionally, we announced the completion of the first clinical study evaluating the Healight™ ultraviolet A light catheter technology. This is an important milestone, and we look forward to continuing discussions with the FDA on the advancement of the Healight technology and reporting the results of the clinical study upon the upcoming publication.”

“During the quarter we also announced the definitive merger agreement with Neos Therapeutics, creating a combined $100 million revenue specialty pharmaceutical company. The merger accelerates the company’s transformation, and, upon closing, we expect to begin realizing estimated annualized cost synergies of $15 million in FY 2022. With this transaction we will add Neos’ established, multi-brand ADHD portfolio, enhancing our footprint in pediatrics and expanding Aytu’s presence in adjacent specialty care segments. Furthermore, the transaction creates the opportunity to leverage and further enhance Neos RxConnect, a best-in-class patient support program, for our product portfolio of best-in-class prescription therapeutics and consumer health products. We reiterate our expectation for the merger to close by the second calendar quarter of 2021.”

Mr. Disbrow concluded, “With record financial results and a transformational merger agreement executed and moving toward completion, we have created substantial scale and momentum to drive shareholder value.”
