Fiscal 2016 Key Strategic Highlights
For the fiscal year-ended November 30, 2016 the Company:
Dr. Isa Odidi, Chairman and CEO, stated, “In 2016 we laid some critical groundwork for the Company, which culminated in a major partnership announcement with Mallinckrodt and the filing of an NDA for Rexista™. This momentum continues into our first quarter of 2017 with the reporting of three key developments: the issuance of patents for our PODRAS™ overdose prevention technology by the U.S. and Canadian patent offices, the launch of two additional generic Focalin XR® strengths with first filer rights by our partner Par, and the FDA acceptance of our Rexista™ NDA application granting us a PDUFA date of September 25, 2017. I am confident that 2017 will be a transformative year for Intellipharmaceutics as we expect a significant increase in revenues due to the additional generic Focalin XR® strengths, the anticipated revenues from the launch of generic Seroquel XR® on expiry of the first filers’ exclusivity period and continued progress in our RexistaTM NDA candidate.”
Corporate Developments
The Company is unable to state or estimate an actual launch date of any or all remaining strengths of Par’s generic Focalin XR®. In addition, there can be no assurance as to when or if any of the above-mentioned licensed products will receive final FDA approval or that, if so approved, the licensed products will be successfully commercialized and produce significant revenues for us. Also, there can be no assurance that we will not be required to conduct further studies for RexistaTM, that the FDA will ultimately approve the NDA for the sale of RexistaTM in the U.S. market, or that it will ever be successfully commercialized, that our approved generic of Keppra XR® will be successfully commercialized, that we will be successful in submitting any additional ANDAs, Abbreviated New Drug Submissions (“ANDSs”) or NDAs with the FDA or similar applications with Health Canada, that the FDA or Health Canada will approve any of our current or future product candidates for sale in the U.S. market and Canadian market, or that they will ever be successfully commercialized and produce significant revenue for us.
Full Year Financial Results
The Company recorded revenues of $2.2 million for the year ended November 30, 2016 versus $4.1 million for the year ended November 30, 2015. For the year ended November 30, 2016, we recognized licensing revenue of $2.2 million from commercial sales of 15 and 30 mg strengths of generic Focalin XR® capsules under the Par agreement. The decrease in revenues is primarily due to increased competition and a softening of pricing conditions for our generic Focalin XR® capsules. A fifth generic competitor entered the market in the second half of 2015, resulting in increased price competition and lower market share. Based on the most recent two month trend, our market share for the 15 and 30 mg strengths is approximately 30% for the combined strengths. In addition, during the year ended November 30, 2016, the Company received a non-refundable up-front payment of $3.0 million from Mallinckrodt pursuant to the Mallinckrodt agreement, of which $37,500 was recognized as revenue, with the balance to be deferred and recognized as revenue over the expected 10 year term of the contract.
The Company recorded net loss for the year ended November 30, 2016 of $10.1 million or $0.38 per common share, compared with a net loss of $7.4 million or $0.31 per common share for the year ended November 30, 2015. In the year ended November 30, 2016, the higher net loss is primarily attributed to lower licensing revenues from commercial sales of generic Focalin XR® for 2016. To a lesser extent, the higher loss for the 2016 period was due to the accrual of management bonuses and additional compensation costs related to vested performance options as a result of the FDA approval of generic Keppra XR® and the Company’s shareholders approving an extension of the expiry date of the performance based stock options. In the year ended November 30, 2015, the net loss is attributed to the ongoing R&D and selling, general and administrative expense, partially offset by licensing revenue.
Research and development (“R&D”) expenditures in the year ended November 30, 2016 were $8.2 million compared to $7.3 million in the year ended November 30, 2015. The increase is primarily due to higher stock option compensation expense as a result of certain performance based stock options vesting upon FDA approval of generic Keppra XR®, and additional compensation costs related to vested performance options as a result of the Company’s shareholders approving a two year extension of the expiry date of the performance-based options from September 2016 to September 2018, partially offset by lower spending for ongoing R&D work.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $3.5 million for the year ended November 30, 2016 in comparison to $3.6 million for the year ended November 30, 2015. The decrease is due to a decrease in administrative costs and marketing costs, offset by an expense for management bonuses. There were no management bonuses paid in the prior year.
The Company had cash of $4.1 million as at November 30, 2016 compared to $1.8 million as at November 30, 2015 and compared to $4.2 million as at November 30, 2014. The increase in cash during the year ended November 30, 2016 was mainly a result of an increase in cash flows provided from financing activities which were mainly from the Company’s underwritten public offering and common share sales under the Company’s at-the-market offering program, and the receipt of a non-refundable upfront payment of $3.0 million under the Mallinckrodt agreement, partially offset by lower cash receipts relating to commercialized sales of our generic Focalin XR® and a reduction in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
As of February 9, 2017, our cash balance was $2.9 million. We currently expect to satisfy our operating cash requirements until June 2017 from cash on hand. The Company may need to obtain additional funding prior to that time as we pursue the development of our product candidates and if we accelerate our product commercialization activities. If necessary, we expect to utilize our at-the-market offering program to bridge any funding shortfall in the first and second quarters of 2017. In the second half of fiscal 2017, the Company expects revenues to improve as it prepares for the launch of its tentatively approved generic Seroquel XR® (quetiapine fumarate extended release tablet) on the expiry of Par’s and Accord’s first filer exclusivity periods in May 2017, although there can be no assurance as to when or if any launch will occur, or if generic Seroquel XR® will be successfully commercialized.
About Intellipharmaceutics
Intellipharmaceutics International Inc. is a pharmaceutical company specializing in the research, development and manufacture of novel and generic controlled-release and targeted-release oral solid dosage drugs. The Company’s patented Hypermatrix™ technology is a multidimensional controlled-release drug delivery platform that can be applied to the efficient development of a wide range of existing and new pharmaceuticals. Based on this technology platform, Intellipharmaceutics has developed several drug delivery systems and a pipeline of products (some of which have received FDA approval) and product candidates in various stages of development, including ANDAs filed with the FDA (and one Abbreviated New Drug Submission filed with Health Canada) in therapeutic areas that include neurology, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal tract, diabetes and pain.
Intellipharmaceutics also has NDA 505(b)(2) specialty drug product candidates in its development pipeline. These include RexistaTM (abuse deterrent oxycodone hydrochloride extended release tablets), based on its proprietary nPODDDS™ novel Point Of Divergence Drug Delivery System (for which an NDA has been filed with the FDA), and Regabatin™ XR (pregabalin extended-release capsules). Our current development effort is increasingly directed towards improved difficult-to-develop controlled-release drugs which follow an NDA 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway. The Company has increased its research and development emphasis towards new product development, facilitated by the 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway, by advancing the product development program for both RexistaTM and Regabatin™. The 505(b)(2) pathway (which relies in part upon the approving agency’s findings for a previously approved drug) both accelerates development timelines and reduces costs in comparison to NDAs for new chemical entities. An advantage of our strategy for development of NDA 505(b)(2) drugs is that our product candidates can, if approved for sale by the FDA, potentially enjoy an exclusivity period which may provide for greater commercial opportunity relative to the generic ANDA route.
