Q3 2019 Highlights

Pulmatrix achieved clinical and business milestones which reflect the Company’s progress. These milestones include the following:

Received regulatory approval for Poland and India to commence patient enrollment in its Pulmazole Phase 2 clinical trial – Pulmatrix now has approval in each country that has a clinical trial site
Received US Patent (Pat. No. 10376465) Covering iSPERSE Formulations for Pulmazole Program
"We are excited with the Pulmazole program momentum over the past quarter. With regulatory approval to commence patient enrollment now achieved in all countries, we activated 12 additional study sites in the third quarter and anticipate increased patient enrollments from the 19 study sites now active," said Ted Raad, chief executive officer of Pulmatrix. "In addition to the Pulmazole program progress, we continue to advance the PUR1800 program towards a Phase 1b study start in first half of 2020. Both the Pulmazole Phase 2 and the PUR1800 Phase 1b studies are fully funded with data read-outs expected in the second half of 2020."

Financials

As of September 30, 2019, Pulmatrix had $27.9 million in cash, compared to $2.6 million as of December 31, 2018. In April 2019, Pulmatrix completed a financing that resulted in $16.6 million of total gross proceeds and executed a Definitive Agreement with Cipla for the co-development and commercialization of Pulmazole. In early May 2019, Pulmatrix received a $22 million upfront payment from Cipla. Following the completion of the initiated Phase 2 clinical trial, Pulmatrix and Cipla will equally share costs related to the future development and commercialization of Pulmazole and will equally share worldwide free cash flow from future sales of Pulmazole.

Pulmatrix generated $1.4 million of revenue in the third quarter of 2019, compared to no revenues in the third quarter of 2018. The revenue for the third quarter of 2019 was the result of the recognition of income pursuant to the Cipla Agreement.

Research and development expenses for the third quarter of 2019 were $3.3 million, compared to $3.1 million for the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to increased clinical development costs on the Pulmazole project, partially offset by decreases in clinical development costs on the PUR1800 project and decreased employment costs. General and administrative expenses for the both third quarter of 2019 and for the third quarter of 2018 were $1.8 million.

Net loss was $3.6 million for the third quarter of 2019 and $4.8 million for the third quarter of 2018. The reduction in net loss was primarily due to the increase in revenue recognized.
