Recent Business Highlights

During and since the third quarter, Delcath:

• Confirmed the pending resubmission of the NDA for the Hepzato Kit^® (melphalan hydrochloride for injection/Hepatic Delivery System) to the FDA by the end of the year,
  
  
• Attracted a growing number of sites to our Expanded Access Program (EAP),
  
  
• Strengthened its balance sheet by raising $5 million in a private placement priced at market,
  
  
• Reached terms of settlement to end its dispute with medac, its former distributor in Europe, and
  
  
• Announced that independent investigators published Predictive Parameters in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Hepatic Perfusion with Melphalan for Unresectable Liver Metastases from Uveal Melanoma: A Retrospective Pooled Analysis in the journal Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology

"We are excited by the level of clinician interest in Hepzato and have enrolled three EAP sites with an additional four sites in process" said Gerard Michel, Chief Executive Officer of Delcath. Mr. Michel added, "We continue to make progress toward the resubmission of the Hepzato Kit NDA by the end of this year, and assuming a six-month review, we consequently would expect a PDUFA date by the end of June 2023."

Third Quarter 2022 Results

Income Statement Highlights.

Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was approximately $0.9 million, compared to $0.5 million for the prior year period, from our sales of CHEMOSAT in Europe. This increase in product revenue is primarily due to direct product sales for the third quarter of 2022 compared to the revenue share arrangement with our distribution partner in Europe during the third quarter of 2021. 

Research and development expenses for the quarter were $4.0 million, compared to $3.0 million in the prior year quarter. The growth in R&D expense is primarily due to increased activity related to the expenses incurred in preparation for our NDA filing by the end of the year. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter were approximately $4.5 million, compared to $4.0 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the settlement of the medac litigation offset by lower share-based compensation expense.  

The Company recorded a net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2022 of $8.5 million, $0.92 per share (basic and diluted), compared to a net loss of $7.1 million, $0.94 per share (basic and diluted), for the same period in 2021.

Balance Sheet Highlights 

On September 30, 2022, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaling $14.0 million, as compared to cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaling $27.0 million on December 31, 2021. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021, we used $5.2 million and $4.9 million, respectively, of cash in our operating activities.

On July 20, 2022, we closed a private placement for the issuance and sale of 690,954 shares of common stock and 566,751 pre-funded warrants to purchase Common Stock (the "Pre-Funded Warrants") to certain investors. Each share of common stock was sold at a price per share of $3.98 and the Pre-Funded Warrants were sold at a price of $3.97 per Pre-Funded Warrant.
