WARREN, N.J., May 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aquestive Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: AQST), a pharmaceutical company advancing medicines to solve patients’ problems with current standards of care and provide transformative products to improve their lives, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022 and provided an update on recent developments in its business.

"Aquestive has delivered upon the advancement of our clinical development program for AQST-109. We saw continued rapid absorption of AQST-109 as exemplified by the data from Parts 1 and 2 of the EPIPHAST study. Dosing recently commenced in Part 3, and we anticipate reporting topline results in June," said Keith Kendall, Chief Executive Officer of Aquestive. "While we are frustrated by the lack of resolution at the FDA even after further correspondence with the Office of Orphan Product Development (OOPD), we remain steadfast in our belief that Libervant has the potential to transform the lives of epilepsy patients. The addition of a common stock purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital gives us further flexibility and an additional source of capital as we fund our ongoing business."

Libervant™
Libervant™ is a buccally, or inside of the cheek, administered soluble film formulation of diazepam, a benzodiazepine intended for the acute treatment of intermittent, stereotypic episodes of frequent seizure activity (i.e., seizure clusters) that are distinct from a patient’s usual seizure pattern in patients with epilepsy 12 years of age and older. Aquestive developed Libervant as an alternative to the device-driven, invasive, inconvenient, and difficult to administer alternatives, including a rectal gel and nasal spray products, currently available for patients with refractory epilepsy.

Aquestive continues to interact with the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding the orphan drug review of the New Drug Application (NDA) for Libervant after receiving a notification from the FDA indicating that the Agency would not be ready to act by the PDUFA target goal date of December 23, 2021 for the Company’s NDA for Libervant, and the Agency was unable to provide an estimate of the timing of an expected action.

In a correspondence received in April 2022 from the Office of Orphan Product Development, the Agency communicated that:

"...[it] is actively working on the orphan-drug exclusivity issues related to your NDA. OOPD is also diligently coordinating with the relevant FDA stakeholders in considering each of the arguments raised in your communications. [The Agency] assure[s] you that these issues are top-of-mind and have not fallen off the Agency’s radar. Although [we] cannot commit to a precise date for providing a response, [we] can answer that we are making all efforts to respond in a reasonable timeframe."

Epinephrine
Aquestive is advancing the clinical development of AQST-109, the first and only orally delivered epinephrine product candidate to have shown clinical results comparable to autoinjectors (such as EpiPen® and Auvi-Q®) for the emergency treatment of allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis.

In April 2022, Aquestive reported positive topline results from Part 2 of the EPIPHAST study for its AQST-109 epinephrine oral film. Utilizing a replicate crossover design, Part 2 confirmed in a larger population of 24 healthy subjects the key pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic measures that were observed in Part 1 of the EPIPHAST study as well as in the first-in-human pharmacokinetic study. The median time to maximum concentration (Tmax) in Part 2 was observed to be 15 minutes for AQST-109, compared to 50 minutes for the epinephrine 0.3mg manual intra-muscular (IM) injection. In addition to positive pharmacokinetic results, AQST-109 demonstrated favorable pharmacodynamic effects on systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate.

Aquestive commenced Part 3 of the EPIPHAST study for its AQST-109 product candidate in April 2022 and expects to complete Part 3 by the end of the second quarter of 2022. The purpose of Part 3 is to continue studying the film's administration under a variety of conditions and further characterize its pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety.

Aquestive plans to conduct one additional study with AQST-109 before requesting an End-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA. This study will be designed as a repeat dosing comparative study of AQST-109 and 0.3 mg EpiPen and will be conducted during the third quarter of 2022. This data, along with the complete EPIPHAST study data, will be the basis for the anticipated discussion.

Aquestive received a written response from the FDA in December 2021 to its Pre-Investigational New Drug Application (IND) meeting submission confirming the development of AQST-109 for the treatment of anaphylaxis under the 505(b)(2) approval pathway is acceptable. In February 2022, Aquestive opened the IND for AQST-109 after receiving FDA clearance. The FDA granted Fast Track designation in March 2022 to AQST-109 for the emergency treatment of allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Fast Track is an FDA process designed to facilitate the development and expedite the review of potential therapies that seek to treat serious conditions and fill unmet medical needs.

The Company anticipates conducting an End-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA during the second half of 2022 and commencing the pivotal study before the end of 2022.

Lincoln Park Facility
As recently disclosed, on April 12, 2022, the Company entered into a purchase agreement ("Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement") with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC ("Lincoln Park"), which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Lincoln Park up to $40 million worth of shares of its common stock, from time to time over the 36-month term of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement. Concurrently with entering into the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park, pursuant to which the Company agreed to register the sale of the shares of its common stock that have been and may be issued to Lincoln Park under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement pursuant to the Company's existing shelf registration statement on Form S-3 or a new registration statement. Lincoln Park has covenanted under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct or indirect short selling or hedging of the Company's common stock.

Core Business
Aquestive is a commercial stage pharmaceutical company with comprehensive integrated capabilities that enable the advancement of product candidates through preclinical and clinical development, and through commercialization. Aquestive has world-class manufacturing capabilities that it has leveraged to produce more than two billion doses of PharmFilm®-based products to meet the needs of patients worldwide. The Company's commercialized portfolio consists of five FDA approved products, both proprietary and third-party licensed. Aquestive has generated more than ten years of product sales contributing to its cash flow positive business. Aquestive has a valuable intellectual property portfolio with over 200 worldwide patents and more than 75 additional patents pending that offer protection through 2037.

The Company’s proprietary product Sympazan® (clobazam), an oral film for the treatment of seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, has grown for thirteen straight quarters since launch.

First Quarter 2022 Financials
Total revenues were $12.3 million in the first quarter 2022, compared to $11.1 million in the first quarter 2021. For the first quarter 2022 compared to the prior year period, the Company saw an 21% increase in proprietary products net revenue and a 41% increase in manufacture and supply revenue.

Aquestive’s net loss for the first quarter 2022 was $13.2 million, or $0.32 loss per share. The net loss for the first quarter 2021 was $14.7 million, or $0.41 loss per share. The year-over-year change in net loss was driven by higher revenue, a decrease in interest expense, and a decrease in non-cash interest expense related to the KYNMOBI® monetization transaction, which does not represent a cash output or monetary obligation at any time during the life of the transaction. This was offset by an increase in costs and expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA loss was $8.1 million in the first quarter 2022, compared to a loss of $6.3 million in the first quarter of 2021. The year-over-year change in adjusted EBITDA was driven by an increase in costs and expenses, offset by a decrease in interest expense, a decrease in non-cash interest expense related to the KYNMOBI® monetization transaction, which does not represent a cash output or monetary obligation at any time during the life of the transaction, and a decrease in share-based compensation expense.

2022 Outlook
Aquestive is reconfirming its full-year 2022 financial outlook.

The Company expects:

  • Total revenues of approximately $42 to $47 million
  • Non-GAAP adjusted gross margin of approximately 70% to 75%
  • Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss of approximately $51 to $58 million

Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release and our webcast earnings call regarding our quarterly financial results contains financial measures that do not comply with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), such as non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss, non-GAAP adjusted gross margins, non-GAAP adjusted costs and expenses and other adjusted expense measures, because such measures exclude, as applicable, share-based compensation expense, interest expense, interest expense related to the sale of future revenue, interest income, depreciation, amortization, and income taxes. 

Specifically, the Company adjusts net income (loss) for loss on the extinguishment of debt; certain non-cash expenses, including share-based compensation expenses; depreciation and amortization; and interest expense related to the sale of future revenue, interest income and other income (expense), net and income taxes, with a result of adjusted EBITDA loss.  Similarly, manufacture and supply expense, research and development expense, and selling, general and administrative expense were adjusted for certain non-cash expenses of share-based compensation expense and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA loss and these non-GAAP expense categories are used as a supplement to the corresponding GAAP measures to provide additional insight regarding the Company’s ongoing operating performance. 

These measures supplement the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Aquestive management uses these measures to analyze its financial results, and its future manufacture and supply expenses, gross margins, research and development expense and selling, general and administrative expense and to help make managerial decisions. In management’s opinion, these non-GAAP measures provide added transparency into the operating performance of Aquestive and added insight into the effectiveness of our operating strategies and actions. The Company may provide one or more revenue measures adjusted for certain discrete items, such as fees collected on certain licensed products, in order to provide investors added insight into our revenue stream and breakdown, along with providing our GAAP revenue. Such measures are intended to supplement, not act as substitutes for, comparable GAAP measures and should not be read as a measure of liquidity for Aquestive. Adjusted EBITDA loss and the other non-GAAP measures are also likely calculated in a way that is not comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Non-GAAP Outlook
In providing the outlook for non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP gross margin, we exclude certain items which are otherwise included in determining the comparable GAAP financial measures. In order to inform our outlook measures of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP gross margin, a description of the 2022 and 2021 adjustments which have been applicable in determining non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP gross margin for these periods are reflected in the tables below. In providing outlook for non-GAAP gross margin, the Company adjusts for non-cash share-based compensation expense and depreciation and amortization. The Company is providing such outlook only on a non-GAAP basis because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the totality or ultimate outcome or occurrence of these adjustments for the forward-looking period such as share-based compensation expense, income tax, amortization, and certain other adjusted items, which can be dependent on future events that may not be reliably predicted. Based on past reported results, where one or more of these items have been applicable, such excluded items could be material, individually or in the aggregate, to reported results.
