Record Q4 and FY2020 revenues of $19.1 million and $66.1 million, respectively

MONTREAL, Feb. 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Theratechnologies Inc. (Theratechnologies, or Company) (TSX: TH) (NASDAQ: THTX), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative therapies, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and its fiscal year ended November 30, 2020 (Fiscal 2020).

“2020 marked a transformative year for Theratechnologies that included significant and swift advancements to our pipeline and growing revenues. Despite the global pandemic, we filed two investigational new drug applications for our oncology and NASH programs and recognized record sales for our HIV business. Entering 2021, this momentum has continued as we received “study-may-proceed” letters for both pipeline programs and a fast track designation for our lead peptide-drug conjugate TH1902 for treatment of all sortilin-expressing cancers. Following our accomplishments in 2020 and continued expected progress through 2021, we believe we are well-positioned to reach our key business targets and milestones,” said Paul Lévesque, President and Chief Executive Officer, Theratechnologies.

FY2020 and Recent Business Highlights

Tesamorelin:

• In August 2020, the Company completed the transition to EGRIFTA SV^® from the original formulation of EGRIFTA^® in the United States.
   
• In July 2020, the Company completed the bioequivalence development of the F8 formulation of tesamorelin, which has a number of advantages over the current formulation of EGRIFTA SV®. Specifically, it is two times more concentrated resulting in a smaller volume of administration and is intended to be presented in a multi-dose vial that can be reconstituted once per week. The Company is currently working on the development of a multi-dose pen injector to be used in conjunction with the F8 formulation and plans to seek marketing approval of the pen in the same supplemental biologics license application, or sBLA, as that for the F8 formulation. Theratechnologies plans to file an sBLA for the F8 formulation and multi-dose pen injector in early 2022 for the treatment of lipodystrophy in people living with HIV.
   
• In September 2020, the Company announced its intent to develop tesamorelin for the treatment of NASH in the general population. This decision was largely based on positive scientific evidence in addition to discussions with scientific advisors and the FDA and European regulatory agencies regarding drug development for the treatment of NASH.
   
• In November 2020, the Company filed an investigational new drug application, or IND, with the FDA for the Phase 3 development of tesamorelin for the treatment of adults with NASH with liver fibrosis.
   
• In late December 2020, the Company received a “Study May Proceed” letter for the Phase 3 clinical trial from the FDA with a recommendation that the Company requests a meeting to discuss questions and comments provided on certain aspects of the proposed trial design. Theratechnologies has formally requested a meeting with the FDA to ensure alignment with current regulatory expectations for the late-stage development of treatments for NASH.
   
• The Company intends to initiate the Phase 3 clinical trial by the end of the third quarter of calendar year 2021. The final timing of the trial initiation is dependent upon any adjustments to the protocol and trial design as recommended by the FDA and EMA. The Company has retained the services of a global, large-scale contract research organization, or CRO, with experience in implementing large and late-stage clinical trials to assist with the execution of its Phase 3 clinical trial in NASH.

TH1902 for the Treatment of Sortilin-Expressing Cancers:

• In December 2020, the Company filed an IND application with the FDA for the Phase 1 first-in-human development of TH1902, its lead peptide-drug conjugate, or PDC, (docetaxel conjugate), for the treatment of various cancers. The proposed Phase 1 clinical trial design includes a dose escalation study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, maximum tolerated dose, or MTD, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of TH1902 administered once every three weeks in patients with advanced solid tumors refractory to available anti-cancer therapies. Once the MTD is determined, it is expected that a total of 40 additional patients will be enrolled to evaluate the potential anti-tumor activity of TH1902 in patients with endometrial, ovarian, colorectal, triple-negative breast and pancreatic cancers.
   
• In January 2021, the Company received a “Study May Proceed” letter from the FDA for the Phase 1 clinical trial of TH1902. The Phase 1 clinical trial is expected to be initiated in the second quarter of calendar year 2021 and is designed to identify a recommended dose for Phase 2 development.
   
• In February 2021, Theratechnologies received “Fast Track” designation from the FDA for TH1902 as a single agent for the treatment of patients with sortilin positive recurrent advanced solid tumors that are refractory to standard therapy.
   
• Preclinical research is ongoing in melanoma cancer using TH1902. In addition, further preclinical research activities are being conducted using TH1904, the Company’s second investigational PDC (doxorubicin conjugate).

Ibalizumab for HIV:

• A study evaluating an intravenous, or IV, push formulation of Trogarzo^® is currently being conducted by TaiMed. Enrollment in this study is now complete and TaiMed expects to complete the trial in the third quarter of 2021. Theratechnologies and TaiMed are also planning to evaluate an intramuscular, or IM, method of administration of Trogarzo^®. Enrollment for the IM study is expected to begin in the first half of 2021. Under the terms of the TaiMed Agreement, we are entitled to commercialize the new methods of administration of Trogarzo^® if, and when, approved.
• In connection with the September 2019 approval of Trogarzo^® in Europe, the EMA has requested a post-authorization efficacy study, or Registry, to be conducted to evaluate the long-term efficacy and durability of Trogarzo^® in combination with other antiretrovirals. The enrollment of patients in this study is expected to begin in late 2021. The Company is also required to conduct a pediatric investigation plan, or PIP, to evaluate Trogarzo^® in children aged 6 to <18 years old. The PIP will be comprised of two studies with the first study expected to begin in the second half of 2021.

Fiscal 2020 Financial Results
Consolidated revenue for Fiscal 2020 was $66,053,000 compared to $63,216,000 for the same period last year, representing an increase of 4.5%.

For Fiscal 2020, sales of EGRIFTA^® and EGRIFTA SV^® reached $35,399,000 compared to $35,520,000 for the same period last year.

In Fiscal 2020, Trogarzo^® sales were $30,654,000 compared to $27,696,000 for the same period last year, representing an increase of 10.7%.

Cost of Sales
For Fiscal 2020, cost of sales was $26,902,000 compared to $26,076,000 in the comparable period of Fiscal 2019. Cost of sales included cost of goods sold that amounted to $20,970,000 in Fiscal 2020 compared to $21,125,000 in Fiscal 2019. The decrease in cost of goods sold was mainly due to lower cost of goods for EGRIFTA SV^® compared to EGRIFTA^® and a lower transfer price for Trogarzo^® in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020 given the achievement of a predetermined amount of net sales of the product on the U.S. market.

R&D Expenses
R&D expenses were $18,019,000 for Fiscal 2020 compared to $10,841,000 for Fiscal 2019. The increase in R&D expenses was largely due to the development of our oncology platform, the F8 Formulation and multi-dose pen injector, spending related to the development of tesamorelin for the treatment of NASH in the general population as well as regulatory expenses and increased medical education initiatives in Europe in preparation for the Trogarzo^® launch.

Selling Expenses
Selling expenses for Fiscal 2020 were $26,859,000 compared to $26,482,000 for the same period in Fiscal 2019.

General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for Fiscal 2020 were $12,230,000 compared to $8,330,000 for the same period in Fiscal 2019. The increase over the same period last year was due to the transition to a new President and Chief Executive Officer, additional expenses incurred in Fiscal 2020 as a result of the listing of our common shares on the NASDAQ and a ramp up of administrative activities in Europe in preparation for the Trogarzo^® launch.

Finance Income
Finance income, consisting of interest income, for Fiscal 2020 was $299,000 compared to $1,097,000 in Fiscal 2019. Lower finance income during Fiscal year 2020 was primarily related to a lower average liquidity position.

Finance Costs
Finance costs for Fiscal 2020 were $4,993,000 compared to $5,080,000 in Fiscal 2019. Finance costs in Fiscal 2020 mostly represented interest of $3,306,000 on the 5.75% convertible unsecured senior notes, issued on June 19, 2018, or Notes, compared to $3,317,000 in Fiscal 2019.

Finance costs also included an accretion expense, which amounted to $2,056,000 during Fiscal 2020 compared to $1,673,000 during Fiscal 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA for Fiscal 2020 was $(7,093,000) compared to $323,000 in Fiscal 2019, reflecting increased investments towards building our infrastructure in Europe, increased R&D expenses and higher general and administrative expenses. These higher expenses were partially offset by higher revenues related to growing Trogarzo^® sales. See “Non-IFRS Financial Measures” below.

Net loss
Taking into account the revenue and expense variations described above, we recorded a net loss of $22,667,000, or $0.29 per share, in Fiscal 2020 compared to $12,496,000, or $0.16 per share, in Fiscal 2019.

Fourth-Quarter Fiscal 2020 Financial Results

Consolidated revenue for the three months ended November 30, 2020 amounted to $19,123,000 compared to $16,400,000 for the same period last year, representing an increase of 16.6%.

For the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020, sales of EGRIFTA SV^® reached $10,751,000 compared to $8,731,000 in the fourth quarter of the prior year, representing an increase of 23.1%.

In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020, Trogarzo^® sales amounted to $8,372,000 compared to $7,669,000 for the same quarter of 2019, representing an increase of 9.2%.

Cost of Sales
For the three-month period ended November 30, 2020, cost of sales was $6,650,000 compared to $6,989,000 in the comparable period of Fiscal 2019. Cost of goods sold was $5,190,000 compared to $5,754,000 for the same period last year. The decrease in cost of goods sold was mainly due to lower cost of goods for EGRIFTA SV^® compared to EGRIFTA® and a lower transfer price for Trogarzo^® given the achievement of a predetermined of net sales of the product on the U.S. market.

Cost of sales included an amortization of $1,220,000 in the fourth quarter of 2020 and 2019 in connection with the settlement of the future royalty obligation which has been accounted as “Other asset” on the consolidated statement of the financial position.

R&D Expenses
R&D expenses in the three-month period ended November 30, 2020 amounted to $6,795,000 compared to $3,877,000 in the comparable period of Fiscal 2019. The increase during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020 was largely due to the development of our oncology platform, the F8 Formulation and multi-dose pen injector, and spending related to the development of tesamorelin for the treatment of NASH in the general population as well as regulatory expenses and increased medical education initiatives in Europe in preparation for the Trogarzo^® launch.

Selling Expenses
Selling expenses in the three-month period ended November 30, 2020 amounted to $6,532,000 compared to $7,673,000 in the comparable period of Fiscal 2019.

The decrease in selling expenses is largely associated with lower spending in Europe given a shift to spending related to medical affairs, lower Trogarzo^® promotion spending as well as lower headcount in our field sales force.

The amortization of the intangible asset value established for the EGRIFTA^®, EGRIFTA SV^® and Trogarzo^® commercialization rights in North America was also included in selling expenses. We recorded an expense of $795,000 in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020 compared to $642,000 for the same period of Fiscal 2019.

General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020 amounted to $3,255,000, which was relatively in line with $3,258,000 reported in the same period of Fiscal 2019.

Finance Income
Finance income, consisting of interest income, for the three-month period ended November 30, 2020 was $21,000 compared to $217,000 in the comparable quarter of Fiscal 2019. Lower finance income was a reflection of our lower liquidity position during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020 compared to the same period of Fiscal 2019.

Finance Costs
Finance costs for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020 were $1,445,000 compared to $1,275,000 for the same quarter of Fiscal 2019. As previously stated, finance costs are mostly comprised of interest on the Notes.

Finance costs also included accretion expense, which was $548,000 for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020 compared to $440,000 for the same period last year. Accretion expense was mainly associated with the Notes.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020 was $(1,417,000) compared to $(3,217,000) in same period of Fiscal 2019. See “Non-IFRS Financial Measures” below.

The variation from Q4 2019 to Q4 2020 was mainly due to higher net sales, higher gross margins and lower selling expenses, which was offset by higher spending on research and development activities in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Net loss
Taking into account the revenue and expense variations described above, we recorded a net loss of $5,549,000, or $0.07 per share, in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020 compared to a net loss of $6,445,000, or $0.08 per share, in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2019.

Financial Position
We ended the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020 with $20,768,000 in cash, bonds and money market funds.

For the three-month period ended November 30, 2020, operating activities used $5,906,000 compared to generating $2,760,000 in the comparable period of Fiscal 2019.

In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020, changes in operating assets and liabilities had a negative impact on cash flow of $4,402,000. These changes included an increase of $4,149,000 in accounts receivable, an increase in prepaid expenses of $2,739,000, which were offset by an increase in accounts payable of $3,210,000. These changes are related to an increase in our commercial activities.

The Company adopted IFRS 16 – Leases, using the modified retrospective approach, effective for Fiscal 2020, beginning on December 1, 2019. Accordingly, comparative figures for Fiscal 2019 and Fiscal 2018 have not been restated and continue to be reported under IAS 17–. See note 1 in the Audited Financial Statements.

Subsequent event
On January 19, 2021, the Company completed a public offering for the sale and issuance of 16,727,900 units of the Company for a gross cash consideration of $46,002,000 including the full exercise of the over-allotment option. Share issue costs are estimated at $3,334,000 resulting in net proceeds of $42,668,000.

Each unit is comprised of one common share of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at an exercise price of $3.18 until January 19, 2024.

Our current cash, bond and money market funds will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations for at least the next twelve months from the balance sheet date.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures
Reconciliation of net profit or loss to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA)

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure. A reconciliation of the Adjusted EBITDA to net profit (loss) is presented in the table below. We use adjusted financial measures to assess our operating performance. Securities regulations require that companies caution readers that earnings and other measures adjusted to a basis other than IFRS do not have standardized meanings and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation. We use Adjusted EBITDA to measure operating performance from one period to the next without the variation caused by certain adjustments that could potentially distort the analysis of trends in our business, and because we believe it provides meaningful information on our financial condition and operating results.

We obtain our Adjusted EBITDA measurement by adding to net profit or loss, finance income and costs, depreciation and amortization and income taxes. We also exclude the effects of certain non-monetary transactions recorded, such as share-based compensation for the stock option plan, lease inducements prior to the adoption of IFRS-16, and write-downs (or related reversals) of inventories, for our Adjusted EBITDA calculation. We believe it is useful to exclude these items as they are either non-cash expenses, items that cannot be influenced by management in the short term, or items that do not impact core operating performance. Excluding these items does not imply they are necessarily nonrecurring. Share-based compensation costs are a component of employee remuneration and can vary significantly with changes in the market price of the Company’s shares. In addition, other items that do not impact core operating performance of the Company may vary significantly from one period to another. As such, Adjusted EBITDA provides improved continuity with respect to the comparison of our operating results over a period of time. Our method for calculating Adjusted EBITDA may differ from that used by other companies.
