WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., Aug. 05, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MannKind Corporation (NASDAQ:MNKD) today reported financial results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020.

“I am proud of how our employees pulled together during these uncertain times and innovated as a team to minimize the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business during the second quarter,” said Michael Castagna, Chief Executive Officer.  “A small 3% reduction in Afrezza TRx compared to the first quarter, when there was a bolus of prescriptions due to patient stockpiling, reflects the successful execution of our commercial plan in a new virtual environment.  We faced many challenges during this quarter, but whether it was production personnel ensuring Afrezza supply through the end of the year, the research team producing clinical supplies for our collaboration partner, United Therapeutics, the field force executing new sales tactics or home office staff adapting to a totally virtual environment, our team exceeded all expectations.”

Second Quarter 2020 Results

Total revenues were $15.1 million for the second quarter of 2020, reflecting Afrezza net revenue of $7.0 million and collaboration and services revenue of $8.1 million. Afrezza net revenue increased 15% compared to $6.1 million in the second quarter of 2019, primarily driven by price, a favorable mix of cartridges and higher product demand. Collaboration and services revenue for the second quarter of 2020 decreased $0.8 million compared to the second quarter of 2019, primarily due to the substantial completion of the research agreement with United Therapeutics in the second quarter of 2019. 

Afrezza gross profit for the second quarter of 2020 was $3.3 million vs. $1.7 million in the same period of 2019, a 90% increase that was driven primarily by higher Afrezza revenue combined with a reduction in cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold decreased by $0.7 million, primarily due to $0.6 million in reduced spending. Gross margin in the second quarter of 2020 increased to 47% from 29% for the same quarter in 2019.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2020 were $13.7 million compared to $16.6 million for the second quarter of 2019. This 18% decrease was primarily due to a $1.9 million reduction in promotional and marketing activities, a $0.5 million decrease in personnel related costs as well as a $0.2 million decrease in professional costs.

Interest expense for the second quarter of 2020 was $2.4 million compared to $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2019. This $0.7 million increase was primarily attributable to a higher balance of outstanding principal.

The net loss for the second quarter of 2020 was $10.3 million, or $0.05 per share, compared to a $12.4 million net loss in the second quarter of 2019, or $0.07 per share. The lower net loss is mainly attributable to a decrease in operating expenses of $2.9 million. The reduction in the net loss per share was impacted by both lower operating expenses and a greater number of outstanding shares.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2020

Total revenues were $31.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, reflecting Afrezza net revenue of $15.0 million and collaboration and services revenue of $16.4 million. Afrezza net revenue increased 35% compared to $11.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily driven by higher product demand, a more favorable mix of Afrezza cartridges, price and a reduction in wholesaler channel inventory in the six months ended June 30, 2019. Collaboration and services revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $4.9 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to a $5.5 million decrease in revenue recognized from the UT Research Agreement, which was substantially completed in the second quarter of 2019, partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in revenue from the UT License Agreement.

Afrezza gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $7.1 million vs. $2.8 million in the same period of 2019, a 156% increase that was driven primarily by higher Afrezza revenue. Cost of goods sold decreased by $0.5 million, primarily attributable to $1.2 million of increased manufacturing activities, which resulted in a greater amount of costs capitalized to inventory and $0.6 million in reduced spending, partially offset by $0.9 million in costs associated with higher commercial product sales and $0.5 million of inventory write-offs. Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased to 48% from 25% for the same period in 2019, primarily due to higher Afrezza revenue.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $28.0 million compared to $42.3 million for the same period in 2019. This 34% decrease was primarily due to $9.3 million spent on direct-to-consumer television advertising in 2019 (which was not repeated in 2020), a $3.1 million decrease in promotional and marketing activities, a $1.2 million decrease in personnel and employee related costs and a $0.5 million decrease in consulting costs.

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $4.7 million compared to $3.3 million for the same period in 2019. This $1.4 million increase was primarily due to the borrowings under the MidCap Credit Facility in August 2019.

The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $19.6 million, or $0.09 per share, compared to a $27.3 million net loss for the same period in 2019, or $0.15 per share. The lower net loss is mainly attributable to a decrease in operating expenses of $10.5 million. The reduction in the net loss per share was impacted by both lower operating expenses and a greater number of outstanding shares.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at June 30, 2020 was $63.5 million compared to $50.2 million at December 31, 2019, which also included short-term investments of $20.0 million. The increase was primarily due to the receipt of a $12.5 million United Therapeutics milestone payment, $12.2 million of net proceeds received from the at-the-market offering, $11.6 million received from warrant exercises and the origination of a Paycheck Protection Program loan for $4.9 million, offset by non-GAAP net cash used in operating activities of $27.4 million.
