SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.,
March 31, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTNP) announced
today that it has filed its annual report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2020
with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
In October 2020, Titan announced a
strategic restructuring, including the discontinuation of its U.S.
Probuphine® implant sales and the wind down of Probuphine
commercialization activities. This was shortly followed with its
acquisition of a kappa opioid agonist peptide, or TP-2021 (formerly
JT-09), and the settlement of substantially all of its outstanding
debt, all of which has enabled the Company to pursue a plan focused
on its current, early-stage ProNeura®-based product development
programs.
As a result of this restructuring, the financial statements in
Titan's Form 10-K reflect results of operations from both
continuing and discontinued operations.
Titan's net loss from continuing operations for the year ended
December 31, 2020 was approximately
$7.4 million, or approximately
$1.96 per share, compared to a net
loss from continuing operations of approximately $7.5 million, or approximately $9.78 per share, for the comparable period in
2019. The net loss from discontinued operations for the year ended
December 31, 2020 was approximately
$10.8 million, or approximately
$2.87 per share, compared to a net
loss from discontinued operations of approximately $9.0 million, or approximately $11.71 per share, for the comparable period in
2019.
At December 31, 2020, Titan had
cash and cash equivalents of approximately $5.4 million, which the Company believes,
together with the approximately $8.9
million of the net proceeds from its January 2021 Offering, are sufficient to fund its
planned operations into the first quarter of 2022.
"As a result of our transition from a commercial-stage back to a
development-stage company, we have discontinued hosting quarterly
investor conference calls. Of course, Titan remains committed to
disclosing all material news and information in a timely manner,
and we look forward to updating investors accordingly as we move
forward," said Marc Rubin, M.D.,
Titan's Executive Chairman.
A copy of Titan's annual report is available on the SEC's
website at www.sec.gov, and on the Company's website at
www.titanpharm.com under "Annual Reports" in the Investors
section.
