MANNKIND CORPORATION REPORTS
2021 FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR FINANCIAL RESULTS

Conference Call to Begin Today at 5:00 p.m. (ET)

 

DANBURY, Conn. and WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. February 24, 2022 (Globe Newswire) — MannKind Corporation (Nasdaq: MNKD) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2021.

“We had a solid fourth quarter with Afrezza net revenue hitting a record $11.3 million and we ended the year with over $260 million in cash and investments on our balance sheet,” said Michael Castagna, PharmD, Chief Executive Officer of MannKind Corporation.  “Although the extension of the Tyvaso DPI review is frustrating, our manufacturing team remains focused on producing pre-launch supplies of Tyvaso DPI for our collaboration partner, United Therapeutics.”

Fourth Quarter 2021 Results

Total revenues were $12.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, reflecting Afrezza net revenue of $11.3 million and collaborations and services revenue of $1.2 million. Afrezza net revenue increased 13% compared to $10.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 as a result of higher demand, a more favorable cartridge mix, price, and lower gross-to-net deductions. Collaborations and services revenue decreased $7.2 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2020 due to a decrease in revenue recognized from the initial License Agreement with United Therapeutics (“UT”), which was substantially completed in the third quarter of 2021. Revenue associated with the commercial production of Tyvaso DPI was deferred in the fourth quarter of 2021 and will be recognized over the period when commercial product is sold to UT.

Afrezza gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $7.0 million compared to $6.4 million in the same period of 2020, an increase of $0.6 million, or 10%, which was driven by an increase in Afrezza sales, partially offset by an increase in cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold increased by $0.6 million, or 18%, compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to a $2.0 million increase in inventory write-offs partially offset by $1.8 million in reduced manufacturing-related spending. Afrezza gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2021 was 62% compared to 64% for the same period in 2020.

Cost of revenue – collaborations and services increased by $4.5 million in the fourth quarter compared to 2020 due to increased pre-approval manufacturing activity for Tyvaso DPI.

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses for the fourth quarter of 2021 were $3.9 million compared to $1.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. This $2.4 million increase was mainly related to pre-clinical development of inhaled clofazimine as well as the Afrezza pediatrics clinical study (INHALE-1).

---

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the fourth quarter of 2021 were $22.7 million compared to $17.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. This $5.6 million increase was primarily attributable to higher Afrezza promotional expenses and patient support services as well as increased stock-based compensation.

For the fourth quarter of 2021, the gain on foreign currency translation (for insulin purchase commitments denominated in Euros) was $1.6 million compared to a loss of $4.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2020.  The fluctuation was due to a change in the U.S. dollar to Euro foreign currency exchange rate.

Interest expense on financing liability was $1.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and represented interest incurred on the sale lease-back transaction for our manufacturing facility in Danbury, CT.

Interest expense on debt for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $2.8 million compared to $2.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. This increase of $0.4 million was the result of interest on the $230.0 million 2.5% senior convertible notes issued in the first quarter of 2021, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on Mann Group promissory notes as a result of (i) the repayment of $35.1 million of outstanding principal under the Mann Group non-convertible note, (ii) the $10.0 million reduction of principal and interest on the Mann Group convertible note from a conversion to our common stock and (iii) a decrease of the interest rate from 7.00% to 2.50% on the remaining promissory note.

The net loss for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $28.1 million, or $0.11 per share, compared to $26.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, or $0.11 per share. The $1.7 million increase in the net loss was primarily due to a decrease in revenues from collaboration and services as well as increases in cost of revenue for collaborations and services and in SG&A expenses, partially offset by a gain on purchase commitment as well as the effect of the one-time acquisition of in-process R&D from QrumPharma in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2021  

Total revenues were $75.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 reflecting Afrezza net revenue of $39.2 million and collaborations and services revenue of $36.3 million. Afrezza net revenue increased 21% compared to $32.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily driven by higher demand, a more favorable cartridge mix, price, and lower gross-to-net deductions. Collaborations and services revenue increased $3.5 million compared to 2020 due to additional development work associated with our collaboration with UT.

Afrezza gross profit was $22.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $5.1 million, or 30%, compared to a gross profit of $17.2 million in the prior year, which was attributable to an increase in Afrezza sales, partially offset by an increase in cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold increased by $1.8 million, or 12%, for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the prior year, primarily due to a $2.0 million fee for the amendment of the Insulin Supply Agreement, a $1.5 million increase in inventory write-offs, and a $1.0 million increase related to reduced manufacturing activities. The increase in cost of goods sold was partially offset by $2.3 million in reduced manufacturing-related spending, lower per-unit cost from increased manufacturing efficiencies and the termination of a free goods program in December 31, 2020.

R&D expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $12.3 million compared to $6.2 million for the prior year. This $6.1 million increase was primarily attributable to costs incurred to develop our product pipeline and to begin the Afrezza pediatrics clinical study (INHALE-1).

SG&A expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $77.4 million compared to $59.0 million for the prior year. This $18.4 million increase was primarily attributable to higher Afrezza promotional expenses, patient support services, increased headcount and stock-based compensation and our voluntary reduction in compensation in the prior year in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the gain on foreign currency translation (for insulin purchase commitments denominated in Euros) was $6.6 million compared to a loss of $8.0 million for the prior year. The fluctuation was due to a change in the U.S. dollar to Euro foreign currency exchange rate.

---

Interest expense on financing liability was $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and represented interest incurred on the sale lease-back transaction for our manufacturing facility in Danbury, CT.

Interest expense on debt for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $15.2 million compared to $9.5 million for the prior year. This $5.7 million increase was primarily due to interest expense on the $230.0 million 2.5% senior convertible notes as well as a $3.7 million milestone obligation that was achieved during the first quarter of 2021, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on Mann Group promissory notes as a result of (i) the repayment of $35.1 million of outstanding principal under the Mann Group non-convertible note, (ii) the $10.0 million reduction of principal and interest on the Mann Group convertible note from a conversion to our common stock and (iii) a decrease of the interest rate from 7.00% to 2.50% on the remaining promissory note.

The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $80.9 million, or $0.32 per share, compared to $57.2 million net loss for the year ended December 31, 2020, or $0.26 per share. The higher net loss was mainly attributable to the $22.1 million non-cash loss on extinguishment of the Mann Group convertible note net of a $4.9 million non-cash gain on extinguishment of the PPP loan, as well as an increase in SG&A expenses and in cost of revenue – collaboration and services, partially offset by an increase in Afrezza net revenues and revenues from collaboration and services, a gain on purchase commitment as well as the effect of the one-time acquisition of in-process R&D from QrumPharma in the prior year. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the expense incurred for the loss on extinguishment of the Mann Group convertible note offset by the gain on extinguishment of the PPP loan, and the Amphastar amendment fee, the net loss for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $61.7 million, or $0.25 per share.

Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investments as of December 31, 2021 was $260.7 million compared to $67.2 million as of December 31, 2020. The increase was mainly due to the sale of senior convertible notes in the first quarter of 2021 for $230.0 million and the cash received from the sale-leaseback of our Danbury, CT manufacturing facility of approximately $100 million, offset by operating costs for 2021.

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we are presenting certain non-GAAP financial measures. We are providing these non-GAAP financial measures to disclose additional information to facilitate the comparison of past and present operations, and they are among the indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating our financial performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with our GAAP financial results, provide management and investors with an additional understanding of our business operating results, including underlying trends.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures; should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP; have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP; and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, from time to time in the future there may be other items that we may exclude for purposes of our non-GAAP financial measures; and we may in the future cease to exclude items that we have historically excluded for purposes of our non-GAAP financial measures. Likewise, we may determine to modify the nature of its adjustments to arrive at our non-GAAP financial measures. Because of the non-standardized definitions of non-GAAP financial measures, the non-GAAP financial measures as used by us in this report have limits in their usefulness to investors and may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The following table reconciles our gross margin financial measure to a non-GAAP presentation as adjusted for the nonrecurring amendment fee related to an amendment to our Insulin Supply Agreement.

 

The following table reconciles our financial measure for net loss and net loss per share as reported in our consolidated statement of operations to a non-GAAP presentation as adjusted for the $22.1 million non-cash loss on extinguishment of the Mann Group convertible note net of the $4.9 million gain on extinguishment of the PPP loan for the year ended December 31, 2021, which did not result in a change in our financial position, as well as the $2.0 million Amphastar amendment fee.
