"In the second quarter, we achieved multiple milestones that position the Company for growth over the next decade," said Michael Castagna, PharmD, Chief Executive Officer of MannKind Corporation. "Tyvaso DPI was approved by the FDA, which allowed us to recognize manufacturing and royalty revenues for the first time this quarter. We also generated revenue from a newly acquired product, V-Go, that is complementary to our endocrine franchise."
Second Quarter 2022 Results
Total revenues were $18.9 million for the second quarter of 2022, reflecting Afrezza net revenue of $10.6 million, V-Go net revenue of $2.1 million, collaborations and services revenue of $5.9 million, and royalties of $0.3 million. Afrezza net revenue increased 7% compared to $10.0 million in the second quarter of 2021 as a result of increased price, which included more favorable gross-to-net deductions, and patient demand which was substantially offset by wholesaler inventory ordering patterns that resulted in lower inventory levels for the second quarter of 2022. Collaborations and services revenue decreased $7.4 million compared to the second quarter of 2021 primarily due to the completion of the R&D Services associated with our collaboration with United Therapeutics ("UT") in the second half of 2021. In August 2021, we entered into a commercial supply agreement ("CSA") with UT. Revenue associated with the CSA was deferred until commercial product was manufactured and sold to UT, which occurred in the second quarter of 2022 when $4.7 million of revenue was recognized. The deferred revenue balance associated with the CSA increased by $4.1 million in the second quarter to $29.8 million as of June 30, 2022. The increase in deferred revenue was associated with the production of commercial product not yet sold to UT and services associated with the Tyvaso DPI production capacity expansion.
Afrezza gross profit for the second quarter of 2022 was $7.3 million compared to $5.6 million in the same period of 2021, an increase of $1.7 million, or 31%, which was driven by an increase in Afrezza sales and a decrease in cost of goods sold. Afrezza’s cost of goods sold decreased by $1.0 million, or 24%, compared to the same period in 2021, primarily attributable to a $2.0 million fee for the amendment of the Insulin Supply Agreement in the prior year period, partially offset by a $1.1 million increase in costs capitalized to inventory due to the timing of production between quarters. Afrezza gross margin in the second quarter of 2022 was 68% compared to 56% for the same period in 2021. V-Go gross profit for the second quarter of 2022 was $0.8 million.
Cost of revenue – collaborations and services in the second quarter of 2022 was $8.3 million compared to $5.5 million for the same period in 2021, an increase of $2.8 million, primarily due to an increase in manufacturing activities for commercial product manufacturing in the second quarter of 2022.
Research and development expenses for the second quarter of 2022 were $4.9 million compared to $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2021. This $2.6 million increase was mainly related to costs incurred for development activities on our product pipeline and the Afrezza pediatrics clinical study (INHALE-1).
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2022 were $26.0 million compared to $20.0 million for the second quarter of 2021. This $6.0 million increase was primarily attributable to an Afrezza pilot promotional effort aimed at primary care physicians that began in Q4 2021, elimination of the Thyquidity co-promotion (which permitted some expenses associated with the sales force to be recognized as cost of revenue — collaborations and services in 2Q 2021), promotional expenses to support Afrezza growth, V-Go promotional efforts and higher stock-based and other compensation for G&A employees partially offset by lower personnel related costs offset due to Afrezza territory restructuring.
For the second quarter of 2022, the gain on foreign currency translation (for insulin purchase commitments denominated in Euros) was $4.5 million compared to a loss of $0.9 million for the second quarter of 2021. The fluctuation was due to a change in the U.S. dollar to Euro foreign currency exchange rate.
Interest expense on financing liability was $2.4 million for the second quarter of 2022, representing interest incurred on the November 2021 sale and lease-back of our manufacturing facility in Danbury, CT.
Interest expense on notes for the second quarter of 2022 was $6.6 million compared to $3.2 million for the second quarter of 2021. This increase of $3.4 million was primarily due to a $3.9 million increase due to a milestone rights obligation that occurred during the second quarter of 2022 and will be paid in the third quarter. Mann Group converted $10.0 million of debt and capitalized interest into common stock during the second quarter.
The net loss for the second quarter of 2022 was $29.0 million, or $0.11 per share, compared to $35.5 million in the second quarter of 2021, or $0.14 per share. The $6.5 million decrease in the net loss was primarily due to a loss on extinguishment of debt of $22.1 million in the second quarter of 2021 partially offset by lower collaboration and service revenue and an increase in operating expenses.
First half of 2022
Total revenues were $30.9 million for the first half of 2022, reflecting Afrezza net revenue of $20.5 million, V-Go net revenue of $2.1 million, collaborations and services revenue of $8.0 million and royalties of $0.3 million. Afrezza net revenue increased 13% compared to $18.1 million in the first half of 2021 as a result of price, which included more favorable gross-to-net deductions, higher product demand and a more favorable cartridge mix. Collaborations and services revenue for the first half of 2022 decreased $14.6 million compared to the first half ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to the completion in the second half of 2021 of the R&D services associated with our collaboration with United Therapeutics. Revenue associated with the CSA was deferred until commercial product was manufactured and sold to UT, which occurred in the second quarter of 2022 when $5.9 million of revenue was recognized.
Afrezza gross profit for the first half of 2022 was $14.8 million, compared to $9.3 million in the same period of 2021, an increase of $5.5 million, or 58%, which was driven by an increase in Afrezza sales and a decrease in cost of goods sold. Afrezza’s cost of goods sold for the first half of 2022 decreased by $3.1 million, or 35%, compared to the same period in 2021, primarily as a result of a decrease in manufacturing-related spending, a $2.0 million fee for the amendment of the Insulin Supply Agreement in the prior year period plus a decrease in cost of goods sold due to lower manufacturing-related spend for Afrezza as a result of manufacturing a second product. Afrezza gross margin for the first half of 2022 was 72% compared to 52% for the same period in 2021. V-Go gross profit for the second half of 2022 was $0.8 million which was adversely impacted by the purchase price valuation of inventory.
Cost of revenue – collaborations and services for the first half of 2022 was $17.0 compared to $8.8 million in the same period in 2021, an increase of $8.2 million, primarily due to an increase in manufacturing activities leading up to commercial product manufacturing in the second quarter of 2022.
Research and development expenses for the first half ended June 30, of 2022 were $8.4 million compared to $4.8 million for the same period in 2021. This $3.7 million increase primarily attributable to costs incurred for development activities on our product pipeline and the Afrezza pediatrics clinical study (INHALE-1).
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first half of 2022 were $46.7 million compared to $37.5 million for same period in 2021. This $9.2 million increase was primarily attributable to a pilot promotional effort aimed at primary care physicians that began in Q4 2021, elimination of the Thyquidity co-promotion (which permitted some expenses associated with the sales force to be recognized as cost of revenue — collaborations and services in 2Q 2021), promotional expenses to support Afrezza and V-Go growth and higher stock-based and other compensation for G&A employees.
For the first half of 2022, the gain on foreign currency translation (for insulin purchase commitments denominated in Euros) was $6.5 million compared to $2.9 million for the same period of 2021. The fluctuation was due to a change in the U.S. dollar to Euro foreign currency exchange rate.

Interest expense on notes for the first half of 2022 was $9.4 million compared to $9.6 million in the same period of 2021.
The net loss for the first half of 2022 was $55.0 million, or $0.22 per share, compared to $48.4 million in the same period of 2021, or $0.20 per share. The $6.6 million increase in the net loss was primarily due to total revenues decreasing $9.8 million, selling, general and administrative expenses increasing $9.2 million and cost of revenue – collaboration and services increasing by $8.2 million partially offset by the loss on extinguishment of debt of $22.1 million in the second quarter of 2021.
