for Natesto Testosterone Nasal Gel
ENGLEWOOD, CO / ACCESSWIRE / September
6, 2018 / Aytu BioScience, Inc. (NASDAQ: AYTU), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on global commercialization
of novel products addressing significant medical needs, today will provide an overview of its business, including the company's
operational and financial results for its fiscal fourth quarter and year ended June 30, 2018. The company will host a live conference
call and webcast today at 4:30 p.m. ET. Conference call details are provided at the end of this press release.
Q4 FY18 and Recent Operational Highlights
Josh Disbrow, Chief Executive Officer
of Aytu BioScience commented, "During the quarter, we made solid progress toward our stated goals of increasing Natesto paid
prescriptions, increasing product revenues to reflect lower discounting and patient couponing levels, and continuing to build clinical
support that differentiates Natesto from other marketed testosterone replacement therapies. First, couponing was reduced by more
than 2x to 28%, down from 68% last quarter - demonstrating that patients are less reliant on discounts. Second, Natesto revenues
grew 178% sequentially this quarter, as prescription demand continued to be strong. Both factors helped Aytu BioScience achieve
its highest ever net revenue for Natesto in company history. Third, we continued to invest in increasing the body of clinical evidence
supporting Natesto's distinct efficacy and safety profile and enrolled the first twenty patients in the Natesto Spermatogenesis
Study. Dr. Ranjith Ramasamy, the Director of Reproductive Urology at the University of Miami is running this study and has commented
Currently, there are no FDA-approved therapies to treat men with low testosterone who wish to preserve their fertility.
About 20% of men with Low T deal with these decisions, and Natesto could be an alternative for simultaneously increasing testosterone
while preserving sperm production.' We expect an interim readout on the study this fall."
Mr. Disbrow added, "Not included
in this excellent quarter, is any contribution from our newest product, FDA-approved prescription sleep aid, ZolpiMist. We acquired
ZolpiMist on June 11, 2018, and last month we launched the product earlier than originally expected. Our sales force has been trained,
U.S. wholesalers have been stocked, and we look forward to this product beginning to contribute revenue in our current fiscal Q1
quarter ending September 30, 2018."
Mr. Disbrow concluded, "When
we provided our Q3 business update, we knew we had a lot to do in order to move our business beyond the promotional stage of offering
discounted, couponed Natesto prescriptions, to get Natesto's name into the market, and to pivot towards increasing sales
of paid prescriptions. It is rewarding to see the positive effects of the implementation of the Natesto Support Program and all
of the commercial team's hard work, lending to our announcement of a historic revenue quarter with such a high sequential
growth rate. As important, it is good to see the results of the fundamental shift to our business as we move toward more profitable
prescriptions. On top of that, we've added a product, ZolpiMist, that doubles our total addressable market to nearly $4 billion.
We look forward to launching ZolpiMist while continuing to drive adoption of Natesto in the U.S."
Q4 FY18 Financial Results
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted
cash totaled approximately $7.1 million as of June 30, 2018.
Net revenue for the fourth quarter
of 2018 was $925,000, an increase of 52% sequentially, compared to $607,000 in Q3 FY18.
Sales, general, and administrative
expenses for the quarter were $3.9 million, which is a decrease of 15% compared to the Q3 FY18 expense of $4.6 million.
Cash used in operations for the quarter
was $4.5 million, which is inclusive of the inventory and raw material purchases related to ZolpiMist and early commercial start-up
expenses associated with the launch of the product.
