WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., Feb. 25, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MannKind Corporation (NASDAQ:MNKD) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2019.

“We ended 2019 on a strong note with fourth quarter 2019 Afrezza net revenue of $7.8 million, our best quarter to date,” said Michael Castagna, Chief Executive Officer of MannKind Corporation. He also noted, “Our collaboration with United Therapeutics on TreT continues to make progress along the clinical and commercial pathways that are expected to set up a filing with the FDA within 12 months.”

Fourth Quarter 2019 Results

Total revenues were $16.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, reflecting Afrezza net revenue of $7.8 million and collaborations and services revenue of $8.2 million. Afrezza net revenue increased 35% compared to $5.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, primarily driven by higher product demand and price.  Collaborations and services revenue decreased $2.1 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2018, primarily due to lower revenue from the United Therapeutics research agreement, which was substantially completed by the second quarter of 2019.

On a GAAP basis, Afrezza gross profit was $3.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to $0.7 million in the same period in 2018.  Afrezza cost of goods sold for the fourth quarter of 2018 included a fee of $2.0 million recorded in connection with the amendment of our insulin supply agreement with Amphastar. As a result, on a non-GAAP basis, gross profit was $2.7 million or 48% gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to a GAAP basis gross margin of 40% for the fourth quarter of 2019.

Research and development (R&D) expenses for the fourth quarter of 2019 were $2.0 million compared to $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. This 82% increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $0.6 million in personnel costs associated with the United Therapeutics research agreement, which was classified as a cost of collaborations and services revenue in 2018, and to an increase of $0.3 million in maintenance costs for our research facility in Danbury, Connecticut.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the fourth quarter of 2019 were $15.7 million compared to $18.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. This decrease of $2.3 million, or 13%, was primarily attributable to a $1.7 million decrease in personnel related costs and a $1.1 million decrease in Afrezza marketing costs, partially offset by an increase of $0.5 million in consulting and professional services costs.

Interest expense on debt for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $2.3 million compared to $1.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. This $0.6 million increase, or 35%, was primarily attributable to the net increase in our debt balance as a result of our debt restructuring in the third quarter of 2019.

The net loss for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $14.3 million, or $0.07 per share compared to a $9.8 million net loss in the fourth quarter of 2018 or $0.06 per share. The increase in the net loss of $4.5 million was primarily the result of an increased loss on foreign currency translation of $4.0 million associated with our insulin supply agreement denominated in Euros and of an increase of $0.6 million in interest expense.

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2019 

Total revenues were $63.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, reflecting Afrezza net revenue of $25.3 million and collaborations and services revenue of $37.7 million. Afrezza net revenue increased 46% compared to $17.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, primarily due to higher product demand, the first sale of Afrezza to our marketing partner in Brazil (Biomm), price increases as well as a more favorable mix of Afrezza cartridges. Collaborations and services revenue increased $27.2 million compared to the full year ended December 31, 2018, which was primarily attributed to the licensing and research agreements with United Therapeutics, both of which began in the fourth quarter of 2018.

On a GAAP basis, Afrezza gross profit was $5.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, an improvement of $7.3 million or 347% compared to a gross loss of $2.1 million in the same period in 2018, primarily due to an increase of $8.0 million in net revenue and a $2.2 million decrease in inventory write-offs, partially offset by increased costs due to higher sales and an increase of $0.8 million in fees paid to Amphastar for amendments to our insulin supply agreement. As a result, on a non-GAAP basis, gross profit was $8.0 million, or 32%, for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to a gross loss of $0.1 million, or 1%, for the full year ended December 31, 2018.

R&D expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $6.9 million compared to $8.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. This decrease of $1.8 million, or 21%, was primarily attributable to a $1.7 million decrease in personnel related costs and a $0.9 million decrease in clinical trial spending, partially offset by increased expenses of $0.2 million related to the development of our BluHale inhalation profiling apparatus and increased facility maintenance and equipment repair costs of $0.5 million.

SG&A expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $74.7 million compared to $79.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. This decrease of $5.0 million, or 6%, was primarily attributable to a $6.6 million decrease in personnel and employee related costs, decreased consulting costs of $2.5 million and a $1.2 million decrease in stock-based compensation costs, which was partially offset by a $5.6 million increase in costs for television advertising for Afrezza.

Interest income increased by $0.5 million, or 99%, for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018, primarily due to a higher average balance on money market funds and short-term investments.

Interest expense on debt for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $10.9 million compared to $9.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. This $1.5 million increase was primarily attributable to a $3.4 million charge realized as a result of achieving a sales milestone in the third quarter of 2019 under our milestone agreement with Deerfield, partially offset by lower interest as a result of the repayment of the Deerfield credit facility.  

The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $51.9 million, or $0.27 per share, compared to $87.0 million net loss for the year ended December 31, 2018, or $0.60 per share. The lower net loss was mainly attributable to a $35.2 million increase in total revenues.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Short Term Investments

Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments at December 31, 2019 was $50.2 million compared to $71.7 million at December 31, 2018.
