Financial Results for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2020

Revenues
Revenues totaled $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020.  There were no revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2019. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, our revenues consisted of $2.9 million of product sales primarily associated with AMZEEQ, which was launched in January 2020, and $0.4 million of royalty revenue. 

Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold was $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. There was no cost of goods sold in the three months ended September 30, 2019 because the revenues in that period consisted solely of royalties, which do not bear related cost of goods sold.

Our gross margin percentage of 87% was favorably impacted during the three months ended September 30, 2020 by product sales with certain materials produced prior to FDA approval and therefore expensed in prior periods. If inventory sold during the three months ended September 30, 2020 was valued at cost, our gross margin for the period then ended would have been 85%.

Research and Development Expenses
Our research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $6.6 million, representing a decrease of $5.8 million, or 47%, compared to $12.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Employee-related expenses decreased by $1.7 million.  Clinical and manufacturing costs related to AMZEEQ and ZILXI decreased by $4.1 million.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $19.8 million, representing an increase of $9.0 million, or 84%, compared to $10.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Employee-related expenses increased by $3.7 million, primarily due to the expansion of our employee base, including sales force, to support the growth of our operations and including stock based compensation.  Sales and marketing expense increased by $5.3 million related to the commercialization of AMZEEQ and ZILXI.

Total Expenses Adjusted for stock based compensation*
Set forth below is a presentation of our total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020, adjusted to exclude certain non-cash expenses incurred during the period. The adjustments below reflect non-cash expenses of stock based compensation.  We believe that the adjusted operating expenses are important measures as they better reflect the ongoing operations of the Company and exclude certain non-cash expenses.

(in thousands)	Reported for the three months ended September 30, 2020			Adjustments				Adjusted for the three months ended September 30, 2020
Cost of goods sold	371			—				371
Research and development	6,623			(361	)			6,262
Selling, general and administrative	19,766			(2,259	)			17,507
Total expenses	26,760			(2,620	)			24,140

* Adjusted results are non-GAAP financial measures.  See "Note Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" elsewhere in this earnings release. 

Cash & Cash Equivalents
As of September 30, 2020, VYNE had cash, cash equivalents and investments of $76.9 million. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents and investments and projected cash flows from revenues will provide sufficient resources for our current ongoing needs through December 31, 2021.

Financial Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020

Revenues
Revenues totaled $16.7 million and $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our revenue consisted of $6.1 million of product sales, primarily associated with AMZEEQ, which was launched in January 2020, $10.0 million of license revenue, and $0.6 million of royalty revenue.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, revenues consisted solely of royalty revenues. The increase in license revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to license revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is due to the upfront payment received under the Cutia license agreement for the marketing and sale of our topical minocycline products in China.

Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold was $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. There was no cost of goods sold in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 because the revenues in that period consisted solely of royalties, which do not bear related cost of goods sold.

Our gross margin percentage of 86% was favorably impacted during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 by product sales with certain materials produced prior to FDA approval and therefore expensed in prior periods. If inventory sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was valued at cost, our gross margin for the period then ended would have been 82%.

Research and Development Expenses
Our research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $35.7 million, representing a decrease of $0.2 million, compared to $35.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Clinical and manufacturing expense for AMZEEQ and ZILXI decreased by $14.1 million. This was offset by an increase of $7.1 million of clinical costs related to serlopitant and employee-related expenses of $6.8 million, including $3.8 million related to severance expenses payable to our former employees, and stock based compensation of $2.8 million.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $71.6 million, representing an increase of $48.7 million, or 213%, compared to $22.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Employee-related expenses increased by $24.9 million consisting of $13.3 million primarily due to the expansion of our employee base, including sales force to support the growth of our operations, $6.6 million of stock based compensation and $4.7 million of severance expenses payable to our former employees. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $16.1 million, related to the commercialization of AMZEEQ and ZILXI.  We incurred $7.7 million expenses relating to the merger transaction between Foamix and Menlo included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Goodwill and in-process research and development impairments
Goodwill and in-process research and development impairments for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $54.3 million.  There were no impairments for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded impairments of $4.0 million for goodwill and $50.3 million for in process research and development due to the failed clinical trials for serlopitant for the treatment of pruritus associated with prurigo nodularis.

CSR Remeasurement 
Contingent Stock Right remeasurement for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $84.7 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 we incurred $84.7 million of expense due to the remeasurement of the CSR to fair value which was driven by the result of the failed serlopitant trials.  At the time of our merger transaction with Foamix, we entered into a contingent stock right agreement that called for the issuance of additional shares of our common stock to legacy Foamix shareholders upon negative data from both Phase 3 serlopitant trials.  Since the trials did not meet the milestones outlined per the agreement, the contingent stock rights were remeasured, resulting in an expense of $84.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Total expenses adjusted for stock based compensation, CSR remeasurement and impairments*
Set forth below is a presentation of our total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, adjusted to exclude certain non-cash expenses incurred during the period. The adjustments below reflect non-cash expenses that we incurred during the period, mainly as a result of the merger transaction and the failed Phase 3 trials for serlopitant. Non-cash expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $154.2 million, which included $84.7 million of contingent stock right remeasurement expense, $54.3 million goodwill and in-process research and development impairments, and $15.1 million of share based compensation expense.  We believe that the adjusted operating expenses are important measures as they better reflect the ongoing operations of the Company and exclude certain non-cash expenses.

Note Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has provided certain non-GAAP financial information as additional information to measure operating performance, including, among others, Adjusted Total Operating Expenses, Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted Diluted Net Loss per Share and Adjusted EBITDA.  The Company believes that its presentation of such non-GAAP measures provides useful information to management and investors regarding its financial condition and operations.  Specifically, these measures exclude  stock based compensation, CSR remeasurement and impairments of intangible assets.  The Company does not believe that such expenses accurately reflect the Company's ongoing operations, and the Company does not expect to incur similar expenses in future periods.  These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures reported by other companies. The Company has provided required reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures elsewhere in the document.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following tables reconcile non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release or that may be presented on the Company’s third quarter conference call with analysts and investors. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide management, analysts, investors and other users of the Company’s financial information with meaningful supplemental information regarding the performance of the Company’s business. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to, but in addition to other financial measures prepared by the Company in accordance with GAAP, including the year-to-year results. The Company’s method of determining these non-GAAP financial measures may be different from other companies’ methods and, therefore, may not be comparable to those used by other companies and the Company does not recommend the sole use of these non-GAAP measures to assess its financial and earnings performance. For reasons noted above, the Company is presenting certain non-GAAP financial measures for its fiscal 2020 third quarter. In order for investors to be able to more easily compare the Company’s performance across periods, the Company has included comparable reconciliations for the 2019 period in the reconciliation tables below.
