Aquestive Therapeutics Reports Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results, Provides Business Update and Improves Full Year Guidance
•Libervant™ (diazepam) Buccal Film continues to progress through the FDA review process in advance of PDUFA goal date of December 23, 2021
•AQST-109 top line Phase 1 trial demonstrates clinical results comparable to autoinjectors (such as EpiPen® and Auvi-Q®) for the emergency treatment of allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis
•Improves full year revenue and earnings guidance
•Hosts conference call at 8:00 a.m. ET on November 3, 2021
Warren, N.J., November 2, 2021 – Aquestive Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:AQST), a pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing differentiated products that address patients’ unmet needs and solve therapeutic problems, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021 and provided an update on recent developments in its business.
“We continue to interact with the FDA regarding the NDA submission for Libervant, including responding to several information requests to date, having a recent inspection of our post-marketing adverse event capabilities, regarding changes in language relating to our packaging, approval of the product trade name and an update to the patent information included in the resubmission. We are continuing to prepare for commercialization with payer and sales force planning underway,” said Keith Kendall, Chief Executive Officer of Aquestive. “We recently demonstrated clinical results comparable to the autoinjectors in the recently completed Phase 1 trial for AQST-109, potentially the first orally administered epinephrine product for the emergency treatment of allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Before year end, we anticipate receiving written feedback from the FDA following our pre-IND meeting request and plan to commence an adaptive design crossover study that will determine the final formulation and dose strength leading to our pivotal PK study in 2022."
Libervant™
Libervant™ is a buccally, or inside of the cheek, administered soluble film formulation of diazepam, a benzodiazepine intended for rapid treatment of acute uncontrolled seizures in selected, refractory patients with epilepsy on stable regimens of AEDs who require intermittent use of diazepam to control bouts of increased seizure activity. The Company believes that Libervant, if approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for U.S. market access, will enable a larger share of patients to receive more appropriate treatment by providing consistent therapeutic dosing in a non-invasive and innovative treatment form for epileptic seizures. Aquestive is developing Libervant as an alternative to more invasive, inconvenient, and difficult to administer device driven products, including a rectal gel and nasal spray, for patients with refractory epilepsy. A large portion of the patient population still does not access either one of these existing products and remains underserved with regard to having an important medication where they need it, when they need it and in a form they prefer.
Aquestive continues to actively engage with the FDA regarding its accepted New Drug Application (NDA) for Libervant ahead of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target goal date of December 23, 2021. Aquestive has again spoken with and provided additional information to the FDA Office of Orphan Products Development (OOPD) that the Company believes provides a clear position of clinical superiority as a major contribution to patient care as compared to the device driven rectal gel and nasal spray alternatives.
Epinephrine
Aquestive continues to advance its development of product candidate AQST-109 (epinephrine prodrug sublingual film) for the emergency treatment of severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, utilizing Aquestive’s PharmFilm® technologies. The Company reported positive topline data from its first-in-human Phase 1
pharmacokinetic (PK) trial for AQST-109. Findings from this study support AQST-109's potential as the first orally administered and transformative epinephrine-based product for the treatment of allergic reactions including anaphylaxis with safety, tolerability, PK and pharmacodynamics (PD) measures comparable to those of the standard of care autoinjectors, such as EpiPen® and Auvi-Q®. These products require patients or caregivers to inject epinephrine into their thighs during an emergency allergic reaction. However, AQST-109 would, if approved by the FDA, allow a patient to simply place a dissolvable strip, approximately the size and weight of a postage stamp, under the tongue, again providing an appropriate medication where it is needed, when it is needed and in a form preferred by patients.
Aquestive has submitted its request for a pre-Investigational New Drug (IND) meeting with the FDA and anticipates receiving a written response from the FDA before year end 2021. Aquestive is on track to conduct a crossover study using an adaptive design for AQST-109 beginning in the fourth quarter 2021. This study will determine the final formulation and dose for AQST-109 and allow the Company to move forward to the manufacture of registration batches and a pivotal PK study in 2022.
Sympazan®
The Company’s proprietary product Sympazan® (clobazam), an oral film for the treatment of seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, continued to grow in shipment volumes to the prescriber base for the third quarter 2021. Sympazan has grown quarterly over the past eleven sequential quarters since its launch.
Third Quarter 2021 Financials
Total revenues were $13.3 million in the third quarter 2021, compared to $8.3 million in the third quarter 2020. For the third quarter 2021 compared to the prior year period, the Company saw an 18% increase in Sympazan net revenue and a 77% increase in manufacture and supply revenue.
Aquestive’s net loss for the third quarter 2021 was $14.6 million, or $0.37 loss per share. The net loss for the third quarter 2020 was $16.6 million, or $0.49 loss per share. The year-over-year change in net loss was driven by higher revenue, lower costs and expenses, offset by an increase in non-cash interest expense related to the KYNMOBI® monetization transaction, which does not represent a cash output or monetary obligation at any time during the life of the transaction.
Adjusted EBITDA loss was $5.3 million in the third quarter 2021, compared to a loss of $11.3 million in the third quarter of 2020. The year-over-year change in adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by higher revenue and an increase in non-cash interest expense related to the KYNMOBI® monetization transaction, which does not represent a cash output or monetary obligation at any time during the life of the transaction.
As of September 30, 2021, cash and cash equivalents were $31.2 million. During the third quarter 2021, Aquestive accessed capital under its "At-The-Market" (ATM) facility resulting in net proceeds of $6.1 million.
On September 30, 2021, the Company entered into a waiver agreement with the holders of the 12.5% Notes (the "Notes") pursuant to which the principal payment due under the Notes on September 30, 2021 was deferred in order to provide sufficient time for the execution of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture of the existing debt facility. The Fourth Supplemental Indenture was subsequently executed in October 2021 which extended the date of the first amortization payment to March 30, 2023, resulting in a deferral of $10.3M in principal payments through December 2022. The Fourth Supplemental Indenture did not change the maturity date of the Notes or the interest payment obligation due under the Notes. As part of the agreement, the Company entered into a Consent Fee Letter pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay the holders of the Notes a $2.7 million fee, payable in four quarterly installments beginning May 15, 2022.
2021 Outlook
Sympazan and the Company's other on-going business activities generated strong operating results during the first half of 2021. As a result, the Company has revised its full year expectations as follows:
| Updated Guidance | Prior Guidance | ||||||||||
| Total revenue (in millions) | $47 to $49 | $46 to $48 | |||||||||
| Non-GAAP adjusted gross margins | 70% to 75% | 70% to 75% | |||||||||
| Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss (in millions) | $32 to $34 | $39 to $42 | |||||||||

About Aquestive Therapeutics
Aquestive Therapeutics is a pharmaceutical company that applies innovative technology to solve therapeutic problems and improve medicines for patients. The Company has commercialized one internally-developed proprietary product to date, Sympazan, has a commercial proprietary product pipeline focused on the treatment of diseases of the central nervous system, or CNS, and other unmet needs, and is developing orally administered complex molecules to provide alternatives to invasively administered standard of care therapies. The Company also collaborates with other pharmaceutical companies to bring new molecules to market using proprietary, best-in-class technologies, like PharmFilm®, and has proven capabilities for drug development and commercialization.
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 2021 and 2020 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.
