FBIO Fortress Biotech Inc

Journey Medical Corporation today announced an update on its growth and business performance, including preliminary unaudited fourth quarter and full-year 2019 net revenue.

“2019 was a banner year for us,” said Claude Maraoui, president and chief executive officer of Journey Medical. “Our model of licensing or acquiring dermatology assets that strategically fit our company continues to fuel our long-term growth. In the past year, we acquired and launched Ximino®, a prescription oral antibiotic indicated to treat only inflammatory lesions of non-nodular moderate to severe acne vulgaris, and expanded our sales force to 41 sales representatives who are dedicated to promoting our products, including Targadox® and Exelderm®.”

As a partner company of Fortress Biotech, Inc. (Nasdaq: FBIO), Journey Medical was instrumental in driving Fortress’ number 10 ranking on Deloitte’s 2019 Technology Fast 500™, an annual ranking of the fastest-growing North American companies in the technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and energy tech sectors. Fortress secured the ranking based on its 8,463 percent revenue growth due to the increase in Journey Medical’s net product sales from 2015 to 2018.

Mr. Maraoui continued, “The Journey Medical team has extensive experience in the marketing and promotion of some of the largest prescription dermatology brands and is especially skilled at executing aggressive product launches, which facilitates quick profitability. We look forward to applying this rigor to one or two anticipated prescription product launches this year. The efficient sales and marketing model and strong product portfolio that we have built will provide momentum for continued commercial success in 2020 and beyond.”

Preliminary Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2019 Net Revenue (Unaudited)

Based on preliminary unaudited financial information, the company expects net revenue to range between $9 million and $12 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2019. Preliminary full-year unaudited net revenue is expected to range between $33 million and $36 million, compared to full-year 2018 net revenue of $23.4 million.
