Cardiome Reports Third Quarter 2017 Financial Results
NASDAQ: CRME TSX: COM
Management to Host Conference Call and
Webcast Today,
November 14, 2017 at 4:30 p.m. ET (1:30 p.m. PT)
VANCOUVER, Nov. 14, 2017 /CNW/ - Cardiome Pharma Corp.
(NASDAQ: CRME / TSX: COM), a revenue-generating, specialty pharmaceutical company focused on commercializing patent-protected hospital
drugs, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017 and commented on recent accomplishments
and plans.
"We are extremely positive about strategic developments
to date in 2017, especially the recent licensing transaction with Basilea which brought in Zevtera®/Mabelio®,
a high-value asset with rapid bactericidal activity against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and a complementary
fit alongside Xydalba™," commented William Hunter, MD, CEO and President of Cardiome. "Looking ahead to the
remainder of the year, we will continue to work diligently to lay the regulatory and commercial groundwork for these high-value
products, which we expect will have increasingly positive impact during the remainder of this year and into 2018, in which we are
targeting meaningful year over year revenue growth."
Third Quarter 2017 and Recent Highlights
| · | Cardiome signed a distribution and license agreement
with Basilea for the antibiotic Zevtera®/Mabelio® (ceftobiprole medocaril sodium) a cephalosporin
antibiotic for the treatment of community- and hospital-acquired pneumonia in 34 European countries and Israel. |
| · | Cardiome announced the commercial launch of Xydalba™
(dalbavancin hydrochloride) in Sweden, Finland and the Republic of Ireland, and has commenced marketing the drug to hospitals in
these countries. Xydalba is approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the treatment of Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin
Structure Infections (ABSSSIs) in adults. |
| · | Cardiome received approval from Health Canada for
the Aggrastat® (tirofiban hydrochloride) high dose bolus (HDB) regimen, better aligning the Canadian, United States,
and European product labels. |
| · | Clinical data highlighting the clinical benefit of
Brinavess® was presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress (ESC) 2017. The retrospective data analysis
showed that administration of Brinavess® led to faster restoration of sinus rhythm and shorter hospital stays when
compared to the same results for electrical cardioversion ("ECV"). While ECV was more effective in the cardioversion
of recent onset AF (94.0% vs. 66.5% respectively), longer-term there was statistically significant reduction in AF recurrence in
patients treated with Brinavess® relative to ECV after 365 days. |
| · | Trevyent licensor SteadyMed held an in-person Type
A meeting with the FDA on November 1, 2017, following a RTF letter received in August 2017. SteadyMed believes the meeting was
collaborative and constructive and has agreed to a path forward with FDA that it expects will allow for the resubmission and acceptance
of SteadyMed's Trevyent U.S. NDA. SteadyMed has stated its intention to provide further details and guidance when meeting minutes
are received from the FDA in the near future. |
Summary Results
Amounts, unless specified otherwise, are expressed in U.S.
dollars and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).
Cardiome recorded a net loss of $6.6 million (basic loss per
share of $0.20) for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to a net loss of $5.3 million (basic loss per share of $0.19)
for the three months ended September 30, 2016. On a year-to-date basis, Cardiome recorded a net loss of $21.5 million (basic
loss per share of $0.66) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to a net loss of $14.0 million (basic loss per share
of $0.61) for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in net loss on a year-to-date basis was due primarily to an
increase in selling, general and administration ("SG&A") expense and a decrease in revenue.
Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was
$6.0 million, a year-over-year increase of 15.0%, compared to revenue of $5.2 million for the three months ended September 30,
2016. The increase in revenue for the third quarter was primarily attributable to the global commercial rollout of Xydalba™
and higher sales of Aggrastat® in the Middle East. Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and
2016 was $17.0 million and $18.2 million, respectively. The decrease in revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2017
was due to the timing of distributor sales.
Gross margin for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2017 was 75.3% and 71.5%, respectively, compared to 74.4% and 75.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.
The fluctuation in gross margin is primarily due to changes in customer and product mix.
SG&A expense for the three months ended September 30,
2017 was $8.5 million compared to $7.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in SG&A expense
was primarily due to expansion of Cardiome's direct sales force in Europe related to the launch of Xydalba™ and to the initiation
of a Canadian sales force. On a year-to-date basis, SG&A expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $26.3
million compared to $21.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in SG&A expense was due
to the same factors as the quarterly change. Additionally, there was an increase of $1.7 million to the Company's stock-based compensation
expense as the Company had a stock-based compensation recovery during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
In the second quarter of 2017, the Company amended the terms
of its term loan agreement with CRG-managed funds. As a result, Cardiome incurred investment banking, legal and other expenses
of $1.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
Interest expense was $1.8 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2017 compared to $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was due to an increase
in long-term debt in the third quarter of 2017 as the Company drew a third tranche of $10.0 million under the CRG term loan agreement.
On a year-to-date basis, interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $3.8 million compared to $1.7
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was due to interest being accrued on a higher long-term
debt principal amount during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2017, the Company
began amortizing the discount on the amended CRG term loan agreement in connection with the warrants issued. This discount is being
amortized to interest expense.
Liquidity and Outstanding Share Capital
At September 30, 2017, the Company had cash and cash equivalents
of $27.2 million. As of November 13, 2017, there were 34,628,842 common shares issued and outstanding, and 2,900,057 common
shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options (of which 1,762,582 were exercisable) at a weighted average exercise
price of CAD $5.51 per share, and 103,801 restricted share units outstanding.
Financial Outlook
| · | Cardiome expects its 2017 revenues to be in the range
of $24-26 million. |
| · | Cardiome repaid the remaining deferred consideration
balance in full in connection with the November 2013 acquisition of Correvio LLC. |
| · | Based on its current operating plans, Cardiome expects
that its existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund its operations for at least the next 12 months. |
| · | There are no share price or market capitalization
covenants relating to the Company's term loan agreement with CRG-managed funds. |
