Financial Highlights:
Aytu's Chief Executive Officer, Josh Disbrow, stated,
"Aytu continues to execute on its plan to become a leading specialty life sciences company focused on urological and related
conditions. I am proud of the progress that our team continues to make, as demonstrated in our third quarter results. We continue
to successfully launch our lead product Natesto in the U.S., and all key indicators remain positive. It's still early in the
Natesto launch, but we are very pleased to have already eclipsed 100 total prescriptions in a week, which is a pace we didn't
anticipate until midsummer 2017. The trends are encouraging for our goal to develop Natesto as an important and novel therapeutic
option for the 13 million men who are affected by low testosterone."
"We are also continuing to see significant uptake with
MiOXSYS outside the U.S. posting increased revenues, with 25 instruments placed this quarter and instrument placements in 20 countries
to date and more expansion expected in the near-term. Through our team's work with prominent academic and clinical collaborators
worldwide, MiOXSYS is rapidly gaining international acceptance as a novel and important diagnostic tool used as an aid in the overall
assessment of male infertility. Additionally, the acquisition of Nuelle, Inc., a company venture backed by New Enterprise Associates
and its Fiera product, represents another exciting growth opportunity for the Company given the significant unmet need and market
potential for Fiera in the field of female sexual arousal," he continued.
The Company had $3.5 million in cash, cash equivalents, and
restricted cash as of March 31, 2017, which does not include the cash and receivables received through the May 5, 2017 acquisition
Mr. Disbrow concluded, "The third quarter was
strong both operationally and financially in that we achieved net revenues approaching $1 million, while also reducing our
cash used in operations compared to last quarter. Based on the promising prescription trends of Natesto, we continue to
believe we are on pace to achieve break-even by next year. Importantly, we successfully raised additional capital through a
warrant tender that brought in $2.2 million, gross, and by divesting our non-strategic asset Primsol for $1.75 million. We
believe we are well positioned for the quarters ahead to continue to increase revenues while further decreasing our cash burn
with a near-term eye toward profitability."
