Biofrontera Inc. (NASDAQ:BFRI) reported record financial results for fiscal year 2024, achieving total revenues of $37.3 million, a 9.5% increase from 2023. Q4 2024 revenue grew 18.5% to $12.6 million.

Key highlights include: reduced operating expenses to $54.5 million (down 3.9%), improved cash position to $5.9 million, and restructured agreements resulting in Ameluz® transfer price reduction from 50% to 25%. The company successfully placed 100 RhodoLED® XL lamps since June 2024 launch.

Notable achievements include FDA approval for using up to three Ameluz® tubes per treatment, significant Phase 3 study results for Superficial Basal Cell Carcinoma treatment, and accelerated patient recruitment in clinical trials. However, the company reported a net loss of $(17.8) million for 2024, though improved from $(20.1) million in 2023.

Biofrontera Inc. (NASDAQ:BFRI) ha riportato risultati finanziari record per l'anno fiscale 2024, raggiungendo entrate totali di 37,3 milioni di dollari, con un aumento del 9,5% rispetto al 2023. Le entrate del quarto trimestre 2024 sono cresciute del 18,5% a 12,6 milioni di dollari.

L'azienda ha collocato con successo 100 lampade RhodoLED® XL dal lancio nel giugno 2024.

I traguardi significativi includono l'approvazione della FDA per l'uso di fino a tre tubi di Ameluz® per trattamento, risultati significativi dello studio di Fase 3 per il trattamento del carcinoma basocellulare superficiale e un'accelerazione nel reclutamento dei pazienti nelle sperimentazioni cliniche. Tuttavia, l'azienda ha riportato una perdita netta di $(17,8) milioni per il 2024, sebbene migliorata rispetto a $(20,1) milioni nel 2023.

Biofrontera Inc. (NASDAQ:BFRI)는 2024 회계연도에 대한 기록적인 재무 결과를 발표하며 총 수익 3730만 달러를 달성했으며, 이는 2023년 대비 9.5% 증가한 수치입니다. 2024년 4분기 수익은 18.5% 증가하여 1260만 달러에 달했습니다.

주요 하이라이트에는 운영 비용이 5450만 달러로 3.9% 감소하고, 현금 보유가 590만 달러로 개선되었으며, Ameluz®의 이전 가격이 50%에서 25%로 감소하는 구조 조정이 포함됩니다. 이 회사는 2024년 6월 출시 이후 100개의 RhodoLED® XL 램프를 성공적으로 배치했습니다.

주목할 만한 성과로는 치료당 최대 3개의 Ameluz® 튜브 사용에 대한 FDA 승인, 표재성 기저세포암 치료를 위한 3상 연구 결과의 중요성, 그리고 임상 시험에서 환자 모집의 가속화가 포함됩니다. 그러나 이 회사는 2024년에 $(1780만) 달러의 순손실을 보고했으며, 이는 2023년의 $(2010만) 달러에서 개선된 수치입니다.

Insights

Biofrontera's fiscal 2024 results show encouraging revenue growth of 9.5% to $37.3 million, with Q4 demonstrating accelerated momentum at 18.5% growth. This performance was driven by both increased Ameluz® volume and higher pricing, alongside successful commercialization of their RhodoLED® XL Lamp.

The company's operational efficiency is improving with SG&A costs decreasing by 13.5% and total operating expenses reduced by 3.9%. A critical development is the restructured agreement with former parent Biofrontera AG, cutting the Ameluz® transfer price from 50% to 25% through 2025 – this directly improves gross margins and cash flow.

While Biofrontera still posted a $17.8 million net loss ($3.22 per share), this represents an improvement from 2023's $20.1 million loss. More encouragingly, the cash position strengthened significantly to $5.9 million, up from $1.3 million year-over-year, providing improved operational runway.

The FDA approval for using up to three Ameluz® tubes per treatment and successful RhodoLED® XL lamp placement (100 units since June launch) should continue driving revenue growth in 2025. The strengthening product ecosystem and clinical pipeline progress position the company for continued commercial expansion, though achieving profitability remains the key challenge ahead.

Biofrontera's clinical development pipeline is gaining substantial momentum with several significant milestones. The company has achieved statistically significant results in its Phase 3 study for Ameluz®-PDT in treating Superficial Basal Cell Carcinoma, representing a potential expansion of their approved indications.

The FDA approval to use up to three tubes of Ameluz® per treatment is particularly meaningful for clinical efficacy, enabling more comprehensive treatment of larger affected areas. This regulatory win directly translates to improved patient outcomes and higher product utilization per procedure.

The strategic formation of Biofrontera Discovery GmbH centralizes and streamlines their clinical operations, potentially accelerating development timelines. Progress is evident with the completion of patient recruitment for their Phase 3 trial for actinic keratosis on trunk and extremities, and near-completion of enrollment in their Phase 2 acne study.

The company has strengthened its technological position with the RhodoLED® XL lamp, representing a significant advance over previous PDT devices with improved maneuverability and patient positioning capabilities. The successful placement of 100 units indicates strong market reception. Looking ahead, label expansion beyond face and scalp to include trunk and extremities represents a substantial market opportunity, particularly when paired with their expanded dosing approval and technology advancements.

Conference scheduled for Friday, March 21, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time

Woburn, Mass., March 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Biofrontera Inc. (NASDAQ:BFRI) (the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the commercialization of dermatological products, today reported financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024.

Highlights from 2024 and subsequent weeks include:

  • Reported record total revenues of $37.3 million for 2024, reflecting a 9.5% increase from $34.1 million in 2023 with Q4 2024 growing 18.5% over Q4 2023. The growth was primarily driven by increases in Ameluz® sales volume and unit price, and the successful launch of our RhodoLED® XL Lamp.
  • Total SG&A costs for 2024 were $33.8M versus $39.1M in 2023. Total operating expenses for the year were $54.5 million compared with $56.7 million for 2023 or a decrease of about 3.9%.
  • Cash and cash equivalents were $5.9 million as of December 31, 2024, compared with $1.3 million on December 31, 2023.
  • Agreements between the Company and its former parent Biofrontera AG were restructured resulting in the transfer price of Ameluz® being reduced from 50% to 25% for all purchases through 2025.
  • Placed 52 RhodoLED® XL lamps in the fourth quarter and 100 since the launch in June 2024 through December 31, 2024. Additionally, we placed 72 Rhodo-LED® lamps during 2024.
  • Obtained FDA approval to use up to three tubes of Ameluz® per treatment.
  • Achieved highly statistically significant results in Phase 3 Study of Ameluz®-Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) for the treatment of Superficial Basal Cell Carcinoma.
  • Created Biofrontera Discovery GmbH (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Biofrontera Inc.) and successfully transferred all clinical trial activities with Ameluz® in the USA to this new entity as of June 1, 2024.
  • Accelerated patient recruitment in the Phase 3 study for the treatment of mild to moderate actinic keratosis on the trunk and extremities as well as the Phase 2 study for moderate to severe acne.
  • Initiated Phase 1 pharmacokinetics study requested by FDA for approval of treatment of AK on extremities and trunk.

Hermann Luebbert, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Biofrontera Inc., stated, "2024 was a very exciting year for us and lays the groundwork for continued growth and expansion. We have refocused our strategy for 2025 to support current customers in improving their efficiency in delivering PDT services, as well as making it easier for those who want to start offering this valuable treatment option to their patients. We have also updated our customer segmentation to assist with sales force productivity and are continuing to invest in training and development. We maintained strong relationships with current clients and demonstrated success targeting new dermatology offices and facilities throughout the entire U.S. We are encouraged by the sales of the RhodoLED® XL lamp which is a considerable advance over previous FDA-approved Photodynamic Therapy devices. It has proven to be simple to maneuver and capable of accommodating various patient treatment positions in order to optimize ease of use. The user-friendly touch screen operation, modern technology, and Biofrontera’s excellent customer support have also contributed to making this device very popular with our customers.”

He further added “Lastly, we have increased efforts in our clinical development program which has led to the achievement of several key milestones over the last nine months. The launch of a larger lamp and the FDA approval for treatment with up to 3 tubes of Ameluz will become particularly valuable when the label is expanded to include not only face and scalp but also the trunk and extremities. We have accelerated our efforts in this regard and have very recently recruited the final patient in our Phase 3 trial and are close to concluding patient recruitment in our phase 2 acne study, all of which positions Ameluz strongly for the future.”

Fourth Quarter Financial Results

Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2024 were $12.6 million, an increase of $2.0 million, or 18.5%, compared with $10.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. This growth reflects the continued adoption of Ameluz® and RhodoLED® XL lamps and a price increase in Q4 of 2024.

Total operating expenses were $14.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared with $14.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. Cost of revenues was $5.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared with $5.4 million for the prior-year quarter reflecting the lower transfer pricing. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $8.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared with $9.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023.

Net income (loss) for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $(1.4) million, or $(0.19) per share, vs. net income of $3.5 million, or $1.65 per share, for the prior-year quarter, with all per-share figures on a split-adjusted basis. This change was driven by the gain on legal settlement recognized in 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2024 was negative $1.4 million compared with negative $3.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income or loss excluding interest income and expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and certain other non-recurring or non-cash items. We look at this customary metric to better assess and understand the performance of the business. Please refer to the table below for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.

Full Year Financial Results

Total revenues for 2024 were $37.3 million compared with $34.1 million for 2023, an increase of approximately 9.5%, primarily driven by a higher volume and average selling price of Ameluz® and the placement of RhodoLED® XL lamps.

Total operating expenses were $54.5 million for 2024 compared with $56.7 million for 2023. Cost of revenues increased to $18.6 million for 2024 from $17.4 million in 2023 driven by increased sales, offset by a lower transfer price that impacted the cost of goods sold in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for 2024 decreased $5.3 million, or 13.5% compared to 2023. This was primarily driven by a $3.0 million reduction in general and administrative expenses, primarily attributable to a decrease in external legal expenses and expenses relating to financing activities. The decrease was further driven by more strategic investment in promotional and sales spend and a resulting saving in general sales and marketing expenses of $1.8 million.

Net income (loss) for 2024 was $(17.8) million, or $(3.22) per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $(20.1) million, or $(13.02) per share, for 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA was negative $15.3 million for 2024 compared with negative $19.5 million for 2023. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in gross profit due to the increase in sales and a reduction in purchase price for sales of inventory purchased under the Second A&R Ameluz LSA, and a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses due to a reduction in financing related activities and legal expenses. Again, please refer to the table below for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.
