Aytu BioScience Provides First Fiscal
Quarter 2017 Business Update
Live Conference Call and Webcast TODAY
Englewood, CO - November 07, 2016 - Aytu BioScience,
Inc. (OTCQX: AYTU), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on global commercialization of novel products in the field of
urology, provided today an overview of its business and growth strategy, as well as its financial results for the quarter ended
September 30, 2016. The Company will host a live conference call and webcast today at 4:30 p.m. ET.
Corporate Highlights:
Financial Highlights:
"It continues to be an exciting time
at Aytu, as we are now in full swing with the Natesto launch, and this potentially game-changing product is already performing
ahead of our expectations" stated Josh Disbrow, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Aytu BioScience, Inc. "Additionally,
we've continued to see very nice uptake for Primsol and ProstaScint, contributing to an impressive 42% increase
in net product sales compared to our previous quarter. Our commercial team is continuing to focus exclusively on growing revenue
for these products, with the expectation that Natesto will become the primary value driver for Aytu due to its differentiated product
profile and the unique timing of our entry into the $2.4 billion testosterone replacement therapy market."
After growing revenue nearly 10-fold during
its 2016 fiscal year, product sales continued to increase quarter to quarter, bolstered in part by early sales of Natesto. Product
revenue for the fiscal first quarter 2017 was $698,000, up 42% from $490,000 during the fiscal fourth quarter 2016. Sales for the
fiscal first quarter 2017 consisted primarily of ProstaScint and Natesto customer orders along with Primsol and initial ex-U.S.
MiOXSYS sales. Natesto orders are reflective primarily of early reorders from wholesale customers who had already stocked Natesto
units prior to Aytu's commencement of promotion in July 2016. Aytu expects to begin recognizing increased sales revenue for
Natesto that more accurately reflects prescriber demand during the third or fourth fiscal quarter 2017 as wholesaler inventory
levels from previous purchases have been depleted. Aytu anticipates sales revenue to continue increasing as Natesto prescriptions
continue to increase.
Natesto's early prescription trends
are on a positive trajectory, with Aytu's sales force consistently setting new weekly highs for new Natesto prescriptions.
Total Natesto prescriptions are also at a new all-time high after only 12 weeks, rapidly surpassing the previous benchmark set
for the brand in the U.S., which was achieved 29 weeks following its launch and with a significantly larger sales force.
In addition to Natesto,
Aytu increased ProstaScint revenue by 25% since July 2016 and increased the number of unique customers for
ProstaScint by 41% since its acquisition, and sales of Primsol were boosted by promotional efforts by Aytu's partner
Allegis Pharmaceuticals. Finally, Aytu's novel diagnostic tool for the assessment of infertility in men, the CE Marked
MiOXSYS system, has begun generating initial sales outside the U.S. from customers' clinical use. The company is
preparing to begin formal clinical studies under the FDA's de novo 510(k) pathway for MiOXSYS and is partnering
with major infertility institutions including the Cleveland Clinic, Tulane University, and other prominent centers in the
U.S. The company's international collaborators recently presented eight posters featuring MiOXSYS clinical data at two
major medical conferences: The American Society for Reproductive Medicine's and The Japanese Society for Reproductive
Medicine's annual conferences.
As of September 30th, Aytu had
$2.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, which did not include $8.6 million in gross proceeds ($7.7 million
net proceeds) from the Company's November 2016 registered offering of common stock and warrants. Proceeds from the offering
will fully fund the final upfront payment due to Acerus Pharmaceuticals for the Natesto license and will support the continuing
Natesto launch and commercialization of ProstaScint and Primsol. Proceeds will also fund the planned MiOXSYS FDA clinical study
and provide operating capital for general corporate purposes.
Josh Disbrow concluded with, "Aytu
had an exceptional first quarter as our focus remains on growing revenue, primarily through execution of the Natesto launch plan
which is successfully underway. We also plan to advance MiOXSYS toward FDA clearance and U.S. commercialization, while continuing
to grow ProstaScint, Primsol, and MiOXSYS both inside and outside the U.S."
