WARREN, N.J., Nov. 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aquestive Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: AQST), a pharmaceutical company advancing current standards of care to solve patients’ problems through simplifying complex delivery methods, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022 and provided an update on recent developments in its business.
“We have made significant progress over the last few months in streamlining our business, reducing expenses, and creating a path to an improved financial position, while continuing to rapidly advance our lead asset, AQST-109,” said Daniel Barber, Chief Executive Officer of Aquestive. “We continue to believe in the real-world utility of epinephrine sublingual film and look forward to reviewing the data and pivotal program plan with the FDA in our upcoming EoP2 meeting. At the same time, we continue to engage with the FDA on Libervant and are prioritizing the exploration of out-licensing this important product for North America. In the meantime, our manufacturing business continues to generate strong results, thereby allowing us to focus on reducing and potentially refinancing our corporate debt as we progress into 2023.”
Epinephrine
Aquestive is advancing the development of AQST-109, the first and only orally delivered epinephrine product candidate to have shown clinical results comparable to autoinjectors (such as EpiPen® and Auvi-Q®) for the emergency treatment of allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis.
According to expert data, nearly 1-in-50 Americans are at chronic risk for acute anaphylactic reactions, however only approximately 3 million prescriptions are filled for injectable epinephrine each year. AQST-109 has the potential to offer these at-risk individuals with an option that overcomes needle phobia and portability challenges seen with existing treatment options.
Aquestive reported positive data from its EPIPHAST II trial comparing AQST-109 to epinephrine 0.3mg intramuscular (IM) injection (repeat dose) and AQST-109 to EpiPen 0.3mg (single dose). The EPIPHAST II trial was designed to compare single doses of AQST-109 to EpiPen 0.3mg and epinephrine 0.3mg IM injection, as well as repeat doses of AQST-109 to repeat doses of epinephrine 0.3mg IM injection. Results from the single dose administration showed AQST-109 achieved a significantly faster median time to maximum concentration (Tmax) Tmax (12 minutes), compared to both EpiPen 0.3mg (22.5 minutes) and epinephrine 0.3mg IM injection (45 minutes). AQST-109 repeat dosing provided significantly higher drug plasma concentrations, with a Tmax of 8 minutes after administration. Results comparing additional pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic measures from this study were included in the initial Company press release and supplemental materials dated September 27, 2022. These materials remain available on the Investor page of the Aquestive website.
In September 2022, Aquestive established a Scientific Advisory Board, comprised of eight allergy experts. Each individual on Aquestive’s advisory board have made significant contributions and breakthroughs in the Allergy and Immunology space.
In October 2022, Aquestive received positive written feedback from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the Company's initial End-of-Phase 2 (EoP2) meeting request to discuss Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) for AQST-109. Stability and shelf life are well-documented topics for acute rescue products containing epinephrine. Epinephrine is known to degrade quickly and, as the EpiPen label currently indicates, “[e]pinephrine solution deteriorates rapidly on exposure to air or light.” AQST-109 has been designed to minimize exposure to air and light until opened for use. The FDA’s written response indicates that Aquestive’s approach to characterizing these and other attributes of AQST-109 “appear reasonable” in the context of a potential future filing.
The EoP2 meeting with the FDA to obtain guidance and concurrence on specific questions relating to the clinical components of a potential AQST-109 filing is scheduled during the fourth quarter 2022. At this meeting, Aquestive anticipates receiving feedback on the EPIPHAST study data, as well as the remainder of the proposed clinical development plan for AQST-109.
Libervant™
Aquestive was granted tentative approval from the FDA for Libervant™ for the acute treatment of intermittent, stereotypic episodes of frequent seizure activity (i.e., seizure clusters, acute repetitive seizures) that are distinct from a patient’s usual seizure pattern in patients with epilepsy 12 years of age and older. The FDA has concluded that Libervant has met all required quality, safety, and efficacy standards for approval but, due to an existing FDA regulatory grant of orphan drug market exclusivity for Valtoco®, a diazepam nasal spray product, Libervant is not yet eligible for marketing in the United States. As a result of the FDA determination, the Agency cannot give final approval for Libervant until the expiration or inapplicability of the orphan drug market exclusivity, including, for example, by a reversal of the FDA’s decision and determination that Libervant is “clinically superior” to Valtoco within the meaning of FDA’s regulations, including by establishing a major contribution to patient care relative to the approved product.
Engagement between Aquestive and the FDA is ongoing as the Company has provided its proposed protocol for a head to head clinical study, and is awaiting feedback from the FDA Concurrently, Aquestive has reached the strategic decision to explore out-licensing opportunities for the North American rights to Libervant (diazepam buccal film).
Out-licensing Activities
In September 2022, Aquestive entered a license, and supply agreement for Libervant with Pharmanovia, a global lifecycle management healthcare company the "Pharmanovia Agreement"), for the treatment of prolonged or acute, convulsive seizures in all ages, across the European Union, United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Norway, as well as countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Pursuant to the Pharmanovia Agreement, Aquestive will serve as the exclusive sole manufacturer and supplier for the product and Pharmanovia will be responsible for all regulatory and commercialization activities relating to the product in those licensed territories. Under the Pharmanovia Agreement, Aquestive received an upfront payment from Pharmanovia of $3.5 million and, if Libervant is approved in the licensed territories, will receive additional milestone payments and double-digit royalties on net sales of Libervant in the licensed territories.
In October 2022, the Company entered into a License Agreement with Otter Pharmaceuticals, LLC, a subsidiary of Assertio Holdings, Inc. (“Assertio”), a specialty pharmaceutical company offering differentiated products to patients, to license Sympazan® (clobazam) oral film for the adjunctive treatment of seizures associated with Lennox‐Gastaut syndrome in patients aged two years of age or older (the "Assertio License Agreement"). Under the terms of the Assertio License Agreement, the Company granted an exclusive, worldwide license of its intellectual property for Sympazan to Assertio during the term of the Assertio License Agreement for an upfront payment of $9.0 million. Under the terms of the Assertio License Agreement, Aquestive will receive a $6.0 million milestone payment within thirty (30) days after Aquestive's receipt of a notice of allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) of the Company's patent application U.S. Serial No. 16/561,573, and payment by the Company of the related allowance fee. The Company received the notice of allowance from the PTO and paid the related allowance fee on October 27, 2022. In addition, under the Assertio License Agreement, the Company will receive royalties from Assertio for the sale of the product through the expiration of the Assertio License Agreement. The Company also entered into a long-term supply agreement with Assertio, pursuant to which the Company is the exclusive sole worldwide manufacturer and supplier of Sympazan and will receive manufacturing fees from Assertio for the product through the expiration of such supply agreement.
In September 2022, Aquestive received a $7.0 million upfront cash payment from Haisco Pharmaceutical Group for the previously announced licensing and supply agreement for Exservan (riluzole oral film) in China.
Team Expansion
In August 2022, Aquestive appointed Kenneth Truitt, M.D. as Chief Medical Officer. Dr. Truitt has over 25 years of clinical and regulatory experience across biotechnology and large pharmaceutical companies. Concurrently, Aquestive named Timothy E. Morris to the Company’s Board of Directors. Mr. Morris brings close to twenty years of pharma industry experience and presently serves as the Chief Financial Officer of Opthea Limited.
Third Quarter 2022 Financials
Total revenues were $11.5 million in the third quarter 2022, compared to $13.3 million in the third quarter 2021. For the third quarter 2022 compared to the prior year period, the Company saw a 15% increase in Sympazan net revenue and a 15% increase in license and royalty revenue, offset by reductions in manufacture and supply revenue as well as co-development and research fees.
Aquestive’s net loss for the third quarter 2022 was $12.5 million, or $0.23 loss per share. The net loss for the third quarter 2021 was $14.6 million, or $0.37 loss per share. The change in net loss was primarily driven by a decrease in interest expense, a decrease in non-cash interest expense related to the KYNMOBI® monetization transaction, a decrease in research and development cost and expenses, partially offset by lower revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA loss was $7.7 million in the third quarter 2022, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $5.3 million in the third quarter of 2021. The change in adjusted EBITDA loss year-over-year included a decrease in share-based compensation expense, a decrease in interest expense and a decrease in non-cash interest expense related to the KYNMOBI monetization transaction, partially offset by a lower net loss described above.
Cash and cash equivalents were $18.6 million as of September 30, 2022.
2022 Outlook
Aquestive is confirming its full-year 2022 financial outlook.
The Company expects:
| Guidance | |
| Total revenue (in millions) | $46 to $49 |
| Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss (in millions) | $37 to $43 |

Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release and our webcast earnings call regarding our quarterly financial results contains financial measures that do not comply with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), such as non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss, non-GAAP adjusted gross margins, non-GAAP adjusted costs and expenses and other adjusted expense measures, because such measures exclude, as applicable, share-based compensation expense, interest expense, interest expense related to the sale of future revenue, interest income, depreciation, amortization, and income taxes.
Specifically, the Company adjusts net income (loss) for loss on the extinguishment of debt; certain non-cash expenses, including share-based compensation expenses; depreciation and amortization; and interest expense related to the sale of future revenue, interest income and other income (expense), net and income taxes, with a result of adjusted EBITDA loss. Similarly, manufacture and supply expense, research and development expense, and selling, general and administrative expense were adjusted for certain non-cash expenses of share-based compensation expense and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA loss and these non-GAAP expense categories are used as a supplement to the corresponding GAAP measures to provide additional insight regarding the Company’s ongoing operating performance.
These measures supplement the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Aquestive management uses these measures to analyze its financial results, and its future manufacture and supply expenses, gross margins, research and development expense and selling, general and administrative expense and to help make managerial decisions. In management’s opinion, these non-GAAP measures provide added transparency into the operating performance of Aquestive and added insight into the effectiveness of our operating strategies and actions. The Company may provide one or more revenue measures adjusted for certain discrete items, such as fees collected on certain licensed products, in order to provide investors added insight into our revenue stream and breakdown, along with providing our GAAP revenue. Such measures are intended to supplement, not act as substitutes for, comparable GAAP measures and should not be read as a measure of liquidity for Aquestive. Adjusted EBITDA loss and the other non-GAAP measures are also likely calculated in a way that is not comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Non-GAAP Outlook
In providing the outlook for non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP gross margin, we exclude certain items which are otherwise included in determining the comparable GAAP financial measures. In order to inform our outlook measures of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP gross margin, a description of the 2022 and 2021 adjustments which have been applicable in determining non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP gross margin for these periods are reflected in the tables below. In providing outlook for non-GAAP gross margin, the Company adjusts for non-cash share-based compensation expense and depreciation and amortization. The Company is providing such outlook only on a non-GAAP basis because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the totality or ultimate outcome or occurrence of these adjustments for the forward-looking period such as share-based compensation expense, income tax, amortization, and certain other adjusted items, which can be dependent on future events that may not be reliably predicted. Based on past reported results, where one or more of these items have been applicable, such excluded items could be material, individually or in the aggregate, to reported results.
