Pulmatrix Reports 2nd Quarter Results; Provides Update on Business & Development Pipeline

PULM | August 14, 2015

LEXINGTON, Mass., Aug. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Pulmatrix, Inc., (NASDAQ: PULM) reports second quarter financial results and provides an update on the progress year to date on the business and its drug development pipeline.

"During the second quarter, we strengthened our balance sheet, became a publicly traded company listed on NASDAQ, strengthened our management and board, and continued to move our pipeline of inhaled treatments for pulmonary disease forward," said Robert W. Clarke, Ph.D., chief executive officer of Pulmatrix. "Specifically, we announced our partnership with Mylan for the development of PUR0200, our branded generic bronchodilator for COPD, in Europe and that we are moving toward a clinical trial for PUR1900, our lead proprietary product, which could be the first inhaled anti-fungal for patients with cystic fibrosis."

During the next eighteen months, Pulmatrix plans to focus on achieving the following milestones:

Initiate European pharmacokinetic bioequivalence clinical study to advance development of PUR0200;

Report pharmacokinetic profile of PUR0200;

Initiate a Phase 1 trial and generate initial data for PUR1900;

Identify lead active pharmaceutical ingredient(s) for PUR1500, Pulmatrix's drug candidate for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; and

Further strengthen patent protection for Pulmatrix's iSPERSE™ (inhaled Small Particles Easily Respirable and Emitted) platform and related therapeutic applications.

Financials

As of June 30, 2015, Pulmatrix had $25.5 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments.

"We ended the second quarter in a strong financial position with sufficient capital to invest in the development of our current pipeline and operations into mid-2017," said William Duke, Jr., chief financial officer of Pulmatrix. "This will fund our business beyond multiple data readouts from ongoing and planned clinical studies, as well as other corporate milestones."

Research and development expenses for the second quarter of 2015 were $1.6 million, compared to $1.7 million for the same period last year. The company continued to invest predominately in regulatory and clinical development work related to the anticipated European bioequivalence clinical study of PUR0200, conducting investigational new drug-enabling studies for PUR1500, and continued research on the iSPERSE™ technology to further optimize the platform, support patent protection, and expand its utility beyond small molecules.

General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2015 were $9.9 million, which included $7.8 million of one-time expense relating to the Merger. This compares to $0.7 million for the same period in 2014. The increase of $9.2 million was primarily the result of noted expenses relating to the Merger and increased stock compensation expense relating to the Company's new incentive program.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2015 was $14.9 million, or $(2.66) per share, compared to a net loss of $7.0 million, or $(2.21) per share in the same period last year. Included in the net loss for the second quarter of 2015 was a net $10.7 million in non-cash expenses, compared to $4.6 million for the same period last year.
