ADMP Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corporation

Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (NASDAQ: ADMP) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020 and provided a business update.

Dr. Dennis J. Carlo, President and Chief Executive Officer of Adamis Pharmaceuticals, stated, “We are excited to have US WorldMeds in full control of our SYMJEPI product now that the transition from Sandoz has been completed. We expect to see the full impact of this transition going forward and I expect 2021 to be the breakout year for this product. We and our commercial partner eagerly await the FDA’s decision on our ZIMHI NDA which has a target PDUFA date of November 15th. We remain very excited about the remainder of this year and beyond.”

Product Updates

SYMJEPI (epinephrine) Injection

On July 1, 2020, Adamis’ new commercial partner, USWM began promoting SYMJEPI® (epinephrine) Injection 0.3mg and SYMJEPI® (epinephrine) Injection 0.15mg products through its field sales force in the U.S. USWM expects to focus its sales efforts on the high-prescribing allergists, pediatricians, and primary care physicians. The transition of sales and distribution from Sandoz to USWM was completed on October 31, 2020 and now USWM is fully responsible for sales and distribution of SYMJEPI.

The company’s Australian partner, Emerge Health, which was acquired by Chiesi Farmaceutica in June, continues to work through the regulatory process with the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) in Australia and the company expects a decision from the TGA sometime in the first half of 2021.

ZIMHI (naloxone) Injection

The FDA has provided a target action date (PDUFA) of November 15, 2020 with respect to the company’s resubmitted New Drug Application (NDA) relating to ZIMHI. The company continues to work with its commercial partner, as USWM prepares for the commercial launch of ZIMHI.

Tempol

Since licensing this product, the company has made some progress on the development of Tempol. Unfortunately, few therapies have been successful so far for the treatment of COVID-19. In preliminary results from a study in collaboration with Stanford University, Tempol inhibits the release of multiple cytokines from activated immune cells of COVID-19 patients. This new data now provides the additional scientific rationale needed to conduct clinical studies in early COVID-19 patients with Tempol. We are currently identifying sites that could conduct this trial. With the additional data from this study, the company continues to explore its options for government and other forms of funding to potentially support additional testing of Tempol.

Discussions with various groups continue to evolve on the funding and design of a large clinical study to examine the effects of Tempol for the treatment of radiation induced dermatitis. One of these groups, which was previously under the direction Dr. Stephen Hahn (current FDA commissioner), conducted successful clinical studies of Tempol for the treatment of radiation induced alopecia.

Drug Outsourcing Facility

Year to date, sterile and non-sterile revenues from the company’s wholly owned drug outsourcing facility, US Compounding (USC), were adversely affected by slowing demand due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Revenues decreased by approximately 21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in the prior year.

Third Quarter Financial Results

Revenues were approximately $4.3 million and $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. This decrease in revenues of approximately 27% year over year was primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic which has adversely affected revenues from sales of USC products, in part due to reductions or cancellations of outpatient or elective surgeries and other medical procedures and reductions in office visits to physicians' offices, healthcare facilities or clinics by patients, and the resulting decreased demand by USC’s customers for certain of USC’s products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were approximately $5.8 million and $5.3 million, respectively.

Research and development expenses were approximately $1.7 million and $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to completing work on ZIMHI and a decrease in development costs of our other product candidates.

Cash and equivalents at the end of the third quarter was approximately $12.4 million. This amount includes proceeds from an equity offering completed in September which provided net proceeds of approximately $10.7 million.

Targeted Milestones

• FDA approval and U.S. commercial launch of ZIMHI;
• Apply for government and other forms of funding for Tempol trial in COVID-19 patients; and
• Ex-US partnerships for SYMJEPI and ZIMHI.

There can be no assurances concerning the timing or outcome of future action by the FDA relating to our resubmitted NDA for ZIMHI. In addition, there can be no assurance that the FDA will conclude that the company’s resubmitted NDA satisfactorily responds to the matters raised in the FDA’s previous Complete Response Letter, that the FDA will approve our resubmitted NDA relating to ZIMHI, or concerning the timing of any future action by the FDA on our resubmitted NDA. The FDA’s review processes can extend beyond, and in some cases significantly beyond, anticipated or target completion or action dates due to the timing of the FDA’s review process, FDA requests for additional data, information, materials or clarification, difficulties scheduling an advisory committee meeting, FDA workload issues, extensions resulting from the submission of additional information or clarification regarding information already in the submission, issues relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, or other reasons.

As discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, we will require additional funding, and there are no assurances that such funding will be available. Failure to timely obtain required funding would adversely affect us and could require us to materially reduce or suspend operations or one or more clinical trials or other product development activities, or delay or prevent our ability to realize the results contemplated by such forward looking statements. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and except as may be required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation to update or release publicly the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements or to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date of this press release.
