Q1 Consumer Health revenue reaches an all-time high of $7.8 million

Live Conference Call and Webcast at 4:30 PM EST

ENGLEWOOD, CO / ACCESSWIRE / November 12, 2020 / Aytu BioScience, Inc. (NASDAQ:AYTU), a specialty pharmaceutical company (the “Company”) focused on commercializing novel products that address significant patient needs today reported financial results for its fiscal first quarter 2021, for the three month period ending September 30, 2020.

First Quarter Fiscal 2021 Financial Highlights

  • Q1 Net Revenue increased 839% year-over-year to $13.5 million
  • Q1 Consumer Health Net Revenue was an all-time high of $7.8 million, compared to $6.9 million in Q4 20201
  • Q1 Rx Net Revenue was $5.8 million, compared to $1.4 million in Q1 last year
  • Q1 Net loss of ($4.3) million and Q1 adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.3 million
  • Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $38.2 million on September 30, 2020

Commenting on the first quarter of fiscal 2021, Josh Disbrow, Chief Executive Officer of Aytu BioScience, stated “Net revenue increased substantially in Q1 2021, to $13.5 million, compared to $1.4 million for Q1 2020. It is critical to highlight that this was just the second full quarter of revenue contribution from the combined Aytu and Innovus businesses, along with the Cerecor assets. Turning to the bottom line, adjusted EBITDA loss was reduced to just $1.3 million for Q1 2021, compared to a $3.6 million adjusted EBITDA loss for Q1 2020. On the balance sheet, with approximately $38.2 million in cash and less than $1.0 million of debt, and at current spending levels, we believe we have adequate resources to achieve profitability.”

Mr. Disbrow continued, “Taking a closer look at the top line, on the Consumer Health side, we generated $7.8 million in net revenue, an all-time high and an increase compared to Q4 2020. Contributing to those results was a strengthened e-commerce business and the launch of OmepraCare®, an over-the-counter proton pump inhibitor for acid reflux, and Q4 2020 launch of Regoxidine®, an over-the-counter foam formulation of minoxidil for hair loss. On the Rx side, net revenue was $5.8 million, also an increase compared to Q1 2020. Contributing to Rx revenue was a relatively balanced contribution across the prescription portfolio inclusive of COVID-19 test kits. Additionally, our commercial partner Acerus Pharmaceuticals launched their dedicated specialty sales team to promote Natesto® to urologists and endocrinologists across the United States, ZolpiMist® was approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) in Australia, and pilot scale Healight™ investigational devices, were manufactured and delivered to enable the initiation of the first COVID-19 clinical study. Importantly, with respect to the Healight™ clinical study, patient enrollment and treatment with the Healight™ investigational devices is now underway.”

Mr. Disbrow concluded, “At $13.5 million of net revenue with record Consumer Health quarterly revenue, a narrowed adjusted EBITDA loss of just $1.3 million, and $38.2 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on the balance sheet, we have strong momentum to maximize shareholder value moving ahead in our fiscal 2021 and beyond.”

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains a financial measure that does not comply with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA excludes (i) amortization, (ii) depreciation, (iii) stock-based compensation, (iv) other expenses comprising net interest expense, (v) non-cash gains and/or losses recognized in the quarter or year due to changes in the fair value of certain of Aytu’s financial liabilities, such as contingent consideration, derivative warrant liability, or certain exchanges of debt, (vi) bad debt expense, (vii) impairment of certain long-lived assets; (viii) one-time transaction costs and (ix) costs associated with non-routine development activities. Management believes these measures are useful to supplement its GAAP financial statements with this non-GAAP information because management uses such information internally for its operating, budgeting and financial planning purposes. In addition, Aytu believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they allow for greater transparency into the indicators used by management as a basis for its financial and operational decision making. Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and therefore, should only be read in conjunction with financial information reported under U.S. GAAP when understanding Aytu’s operating performance. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial information is provided in the financial statement tables below.
