November 14 2024 - 2:31PM
60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: SXTP; SXTPW) (the
“Company”), a pharmaceutical company focused on developing new
medicines for infectious diseases, reported today their financial
results for the third fiscal quarter of the 2024 year, ended
September 30, 2024.
Financial Highlights for the Quarter Ended September 30,
2024:
- A 140% increase in ARAKODA® pharmacy deliveries from 550 boxes
(Q3 2023) to 1,319 boxes (Q3 2024) generated 164% in sales revenues
from $51 thousand for the third quarter of 2023 to approximately
$135 thousand for the third quarter of 2024.
- The Company achieved a gross profit of approximately $24
thousand in the third quarter of 2024, compared to an approximate
gross loss of $20 thousand in the third quarter of 2023.
- Operating expenses were approximately $2.16 million in the
third quarter of 2024, compared to approximately $1.58 million in
the third quarter of 2023. The increase in operating expenses was
primarily due to the delivery of $600,000 of research material
previously paid for in stock prior to our initial public offering
in July of 2023.
- Net loss attributable to common shareholders in the third
quarter of 2024 was approximately $2.27 million, or ($0.93) per
share, compared to a net income of approximately $4.09 million, or
$9.13 per share in the third quarter of 2023, representing a $6.36
million decline. This decline is nearly entirely attributable to a
change in the fair value of liabilities of $6.20 million in Q3 2023
to ($0.06) million in Q3 2024.
- A $4 million private placement priced at-the-market comprising
common stock and associated warrants at $1.38 per share was
concluded in September with net proceeds to support
working capital, commercialization of ARAKODA
(tafenoquine), and ongoing R&D efforts.
Business Highlights for the Quarter Ended September 30,
2024
- 60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals granted the University of Kentucky
right of reference to the Company’s new drug application (NDA) for
ARAKODA® (tafenoquine). The right of reference
will allow FDA to review clinical efficacy and safety data,
non-clinical data, and chemistry, manufacturing and controlled
information on ARAKODA as the agency reviews protocols and new IND
submissions related to the University of Kentucky SJ733 Phase IIb

- The Company was awarded a fixed-price contract with the United
States Army Medical Materiel Development Activity to support
commercial validation of new bottle and replacement blister
packaging
of ARAKODA® (tafenoquine).
- Ethics approval of an open label, expanded access
study of the ARAKODA® regimen

are not able to successfully develop, obtain FDA approval for, and
provide for the commercialization of non-malaria prevention
indications for tafenoquine (ARAKODA® or
other regimen) or Celgosivir in a timely manner, we may not be able
to expand our business operations; we may not be able to
successfully conduct planned clinical trials; and we have no
manufacturing capacity which puts us at risk of lengthy and costly
delays of bringing our products to market. More detailed
