Intellipharmaceutics Announces First Quarter 2022 Results

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / April 14, 2022 / Intellipharmaceutics International Inc. (OTCQB:IPCIF) and (TSX:IPCI) ("Intellipharmaceutics" or the "Company"), a pharmaceutical company specializing in the research, development and manufacture of novel and generic controlled-release and targeted-release oral solid dosage drugs, today reported the results of operations for the three months ended February 28, 2022. All dollar amounts referenced herein are in United States dollars unless otherwise noted.

  • In February 2022 the Company received marketing approval for the Canadian market from Health Canada (notice of compliance) for generic Pristiq (desvenlafaxine succinate extended-release tablets) in the 50 and 100 mg strengths.
  • In November 2021 the Company received final FDA approval for its Dexmethylphenidate Extended-release Capsules in the 5 mg, 10 mg, 30 mg and 40 mg strengths. The 15 mg and 30 mg strengths were initially approved and commercialized by Par Pharmaceutical Inc. (Par) in November 2013; the additional strengths launched to date were approved in a Par abbreviated new drug application.

Results of Operations

The Company recorded net loss for the three months ended February 28, 2022 of $880,972 or $0.03 per common share, compared with a net loss of $924,566 or $0.04 per common share for the three months ended February 28, 2021.

The Company recorded revenues of $83,411 for the three months ended February 28, 2022 versus $Nil for the three months ended February 28, 2021. Such revenues consisted primarily of licensing revenues from commercial sales of the 15, 25, 30 and 35 mg strengths of our generic Focalin XR® under the Par agreement.

Expenditures for R&D for the three months ended February 28, 2022 were lower by $3,495 compared to the three months ended February 28, 2021. In the three months ended February 28, 2022 we recorded $Nil of expenses for stock-based compensation for R&D employees compared to $8,592 for the three months ended February 28, 2021. After adjusting for the stock-based compensation expenses discussed above, expenditures for R&D for the three months ended February 28, 2022 were higher by $5,097 compared to the three months ended February 28, 2021.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $172,046 for the three months ended February 28, 2021 in comparison to $523,231 for the three months ended February 29, 2020, resulting in a decrease of $351,185. The decrease is due to a decrease in administrative costs and a decrease in wages and marketing costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $260,858 for the three months ended February 28, 2022 in comparison to $172,046 for the three months ended February 28, 2021, resulting in a increase of $88,812. The increase is due to an increase in administrative costs, wages and occupancy costs.

As of February 28, 2022, our cash balance was $211,364. We currently expect to meet our short-term cash requirements from the proceeds of the private placement financing and quarterly profit share payments from Par and by cost savings resulting from reduced R&D activities and staffing levels, as well as from potential revenues for approved generic products or other collaborations and other available financing. Effective May 5, 2021 our exclusive license agreements with Tris Pharma, Inc. for generic Seroquel XR®, generic Pristiq® and generic Effexor XR®were mutually terminated. Products were never supplied nor distributed under the licenses. Termination of the exclusive agreements may provide opportunity for the Company to explore options of supplying the products to multiple sources on non-exclusive bases. However, there can be no assurance that the products previously licensed to Tris Pharma will be successfully commercialized and produce significant revenues for us. We will. need to obtain additional funding to, among other things, further product commercialization activities and development of our product candidates. Potential sources of capital may include, if conditions permit, equity and/or debt financing, payments from licensing and/or development agreements and/or new strategic partnership agreements. The Company has funded its business activities principally through the issuance of securities, loans from related parties (see "Related Party Transactions" for more information related to the terms of such loans and applicable maturities) and funds from development agreements. There is no certainty that such funding will be available going forward or, if it is, whether it will be sufficient to meet our needs. Our future operations are highly dependent upon our ability to source additional funding to support advancing our product candidate pipeline through continued R&D activities and to expand our operations. Our ultimate success will depend on whether our product candidates are approved by the FDA, Health Canada, or the regulatory authorities of other countries in which our products are proposed to be sold and whether we are able to successfully market our approved products. We cannot be certain that we will receive such regulatory approval for any of our current or future product candidates, that we will reach the level of revenues necessary to achieve and sustain profitability, or that we will secure other capital sources on terms or in amounts sufficient to meet our needs, or at all.

There can be no assurance that we will not be required to conduct further studies for our Aximris XR product candidate, that the FDA will approve any of our requested abuse-deterrence label claims, that the FDA will meet its deadline for review or that the FDA will ultimately approve the NDA for the sale of product candidate in the U.S. market or that the product will ever be successfully commercialized and produce significant revenue for us.
