Recent Corporate Highlights1:
Marketed Dermatology Products and Product Candidates
- Our seven dermatology products are marketed by our partner company, Journey Medical Corporation (“Journey”).
- Our products generated net revenues of
$15.3 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared to second quarter 2020 net revenues of$9.4 million . - In July 2021, Journey completed its final closing under the Cumulative Convertible Class A Preferred Stock Offering (the “Preferred Offering”). In connection with the Preferred Offering, Journey issued an aggregate of 750,680 preferred shares at a price of
$25.00 per share, and after deducting commissions, fees and expenses, for a total of approximately$16.8 million in net proceeds across the various closings. - In June 2021, Journey entered into a definitive agreement with Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd. to develop and commercialize DFD-29 (modified release minocycline capsules) for the treatment of rosacea. Journey and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd. intend to conduct two Phase 3 clinical trials to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of DFD-29 for regulatory approval.
- In May 2021, Journey acquired and recently launched its seventh prescription dermatology product, QBREXZA®.
- In April 2021, Journey entered into an agreement with East West Bank (“EWB”) in which EWB provided a
$7.5 million working capital line of credit. - Journey intends to launch one additional prescription product in the second half of this year.
CUTX-101 (Copper Histidinate for Menkes disease)
- We intend to begin the rolling submission of the NDA for CUTX-101 to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in the second half of 2021.
- CUTX-101 was sourced by Fortress and is currently in development at our partner company, Cyprium Therapeutics, Inc.
CAEL-101 (Light Chain Fibril-reactive Monoclonal Antibody for AL Amyloidosis)
- Caelum Biosciences, Inc. (“Caelum”) has two ongoing Phase 3 studies of CAEL-101 for AL amyloidosis.
- Caelum formed a collaboration with Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Alexion”) in 2019, which included an option to acquire Caelum. AstraZeneca completed its acquisition of Alexion on July 21, 2021. The period during which AstraZeneca/Alexion must now decide whether or not to exercise their option to purchase Caelum expires in January 2022. Fortress would receive approximately 43 percent of the proceeds from a potential AstraZeneca transaction.
- In June 2021, we announced that CAEL-101 clinical data were presented at EHA2021. The data, presented in two e-posters, strengthen the safety and tolerability profile of CAEL-101 to further support the dose selection for the ongoing Phase 3 study, and suggest possible cardiac and renal response.
- Also in June 2021, the FDA granted Fast Track designation to CAEL-101 for the treatment of light chain AL amyloidosis.
- CAEL-101 was sourced by Fortress and is currently in development at Caelum Biosciences, Inc., a company founded by Fortress in 2017 and in which Fortress maintains a minority position.
Cosibelimab (formerly CK-301, an anti-PD-L1 antibody)
- The registration-enabling study in metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma is fully enrolled and we are on track to report top-line results by year-end 2021. Upon a successful outcome, Checkpoint Therapeutics, Inc. (“Checkpoint”) intends to submit a Biologics License Application (“BLA”) for cosibelimab in 2022, followed shortly thereafter by a Marketing Authorization Application submission in Europe. With a potentially favorable safety profile versus anti-PD-1 therapy and a plan to commercialize at a substantially lower price, we believe cosibelimab has the potential to be a market disruptive product in the
$25 billion and growing PD-(L)1 class. - A Phase 3 registration-enabling trial is planned to begin in first-line metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”) in the second half of 2021.
- Cosibelimab was sourced by Fortress and is currently in development at our partner company, Checkpoint.
Olafertinib (formerly CK-101, a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (“EGFR”) inhibitor)
- During the second quarter, we had productive interactions with the FDA regarding our development program for olafertinib (formerly CK-101), our third-generation EGFR inhibitor being evaluated by our partner in an ongoing double-blind, randomized Phase 3 study in China. We intend to utilize the Phase 3 study, if successful, to support an NDA submission for olafertinib as a potential first-line treatment for patients with NSCLC whose tumors have certain types of EGFR mutations.
- Olafertinib was sourced by Fortress and is currently in development at our partner company, Checkpoint.
MB-106 (CD20-targeted CAR T Cell Therapy)
- In May 2021, we announced that the FDA approved Mustang Bio Inc.’s (“Mustang Bio”) Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application to initiate a multicenter Phase 1/2 clinical trial investigating the safety and efficacy of MB-106, a CD20-targeted CAR T for relapsed or refractory B-NHL and CLL.

Dr. Mazyar Shadman of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center presented updated interim data from the ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trial for B-NHL and CLL, which showed a favorable safety profile and compelling clinical activity, with a
93% overall response rate and67% complete response rate in patients treated with the modified cell manufacturing process. - Also in June 2021, we hosted a key opinion leader webinar featuring a presentation from Dr. Shadman, who discussed interim results from the ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trial investigating the safety and efficacy of MB-106 CD20-targeted CAR T for B-NHL and CLL. A replay of the webinar can be found here.
- MB-106 was sourced by Fortress and is currently in development at our partner company, Mustang Bio.
MB-107 and MB-207 (Lentiviral Gene Therapies for X-linked Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (“XSCID”))
- Earlier this month, we announced that the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) granted Priority Medicines (“PRIME”) designation to MB-107, a lentiviral gene therapy for the treatment of XSCID in newly diagnosed infants, also known as bubble boy disease.
- Later this quarter, we expect to enroll the first patient in the MB-107 pivotal multicenter Phase 2 clinical trial under Mustang Bio’s IND and to file an IND for our pivotal multicenter Phase 2 clinical trial of MB-207.

To assist our stockholders in understanding our company, we have prepared non-GAAP financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. These results exclude the operations of our three public partner companies: Avenue, Checkpoint and Mustang Bio.

- As of June 30, 2021, Fortress’ consolidated cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled

Use of Non-GAAP Measures:
In addition to the GAAP financial measures as presented in our Form 10-Q that will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 16, 2021, the Company has, in this press release, included certain non-GAAP measurements. The non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders is defined by the Company as GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, less net losses attributable to common stockholders from our public partner companies Avenue, Checkpoint and Mustang Bio. In addition, the Company has also provided a Fortress non-GAAP loss attributable to common stockholders which is a modified EBITDA calculation that starts with the non-GAAP income (loss) attributable to common stockholders and removes stock-based compensation expense, non-cash interest expense, amortization of licenses and debt discount, changes in fair values of investment, changes in fair value of derivative liability, Qbrexza inventory step-up and depreciation expense.
Management believes use of these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company's performance because (i) it allows for greater transparency with respect to key measures used by management in its financial and operational decision-making, (ii) it excludes the impact of non-cash or, when specified, non-recurring items that are not directly attributable to the Company's core operating performance and that may obscure trends in the Company's core operating performance and (iii) it is used by institutional investors and the analyst community to help analyze the Company's results. However, non-GAAP income (loss) attributable to common stockholders and any other non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Further, non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company and the manner in which they are calculated may differ from the non-GAAP financial measures or the calculations of the same non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, including the Company's competitors.
