Warren, N.J., November 4, 2020 – Aquestive Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:AQST), a pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing differentiated products that address patients’ unmet needs and solve therapeutic problems, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020 and provided an update on recent developments in its business.
“Amidst the unprecedented uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, our Company has made progress this quarter in advancing our CNS product portfolio and other important therapeutics in our product pipeline, highlighted by the completion of dosing in a Phase 1 pharmacokinetic trial for our product candidate AQST-108, a “first of its kind” oral sublingual film formulation delivering systemic epinephrine, and we are on track to assess the validity and quality of that data in the coming weeks,” said Keith J. Kendall, President and Chief Executive Officer of Aquestive. “Importantly, we are advancing our lead product candidate, Libervant™ (diazepam) Buccal Film for the management of seizure clusters, through the approval process with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). We received confirmation from the FDA that, after submitting our meeting package this past October, a review meeting with the Agency is set for November 12, 2020. We look forward to working with the FDA in seeking feedback and clarity on the pathway for approval of Libervant. Moreover, the KYNMOBI royalty monetization transaction, which was signed this week and is expected to close and fund later this month, provides the Company with substantial capital to support our key clinical and commercial initiatives and reduce our senior debt,” concluded Mr. Kendall.
Despite limitations on provider in-person interactions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s proprietary product Sympazan® (clobazam), an oral film for the treatment of seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, continues to meet key performance metrics. Shipment volume sequentially quarter over quarter has grown 18% and by 130% over the same period last year. During the third quarter 2020, Sympazan saw continued growth in the prescriber base, approaching 700 healthcare providers, which represents over 26% penetration into the Company’s focused group of prescribers, with over 77% of those prescribers writing multiple scripts. Sympazan net revenue grew 102% for the three month period ended September 30, 2020 versus the same period last year, and 86% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2020 versus the same period last year. Sympazan currently has over 72% of commercial lives covered and an 82% coverage of State Medicaid regions. Given the substantial overlap of prescribers, Sympazan is strategically accomplishing what was intended when it was developed and launched last year, to build an important foundation for a successful launch of Libervant, if approved by the FDA for U.S. market access.
As indicated in the Company’s investor call on September 25, 2020, the Company submitted in October the data and information it believes addresses the FDA’s concerns expressed in the FDA’s Complete Response Letter relating to Libervant. The Company received confirmation that the FDA agreed to a Type A meeting with the Company to be held on November 12, 2020. A Type A meeting is granted for candidate drugs on hold to discuss impeding issues and a path forward for approval. Based on the data and information submitted to the FDA, the Company does not believe at this time that further clinical studies are necessary. At that meeting, the Company expects to discuss the information submitted in the October 2020 meeting package and to seek to confirm the pathway for approval and propose the immediate resubmission of the NDA for Libervant. If the FDA agrees with the Company’s proposal, then the Company plans on resubmitting the NDA before the end of the year. If the FDA does not agree with the Company’s proposal, then the Company will seek to understand the best path forward for resubmission and approval. The Company will update the market regarding the FDA’s comments, the Company’s plans for resubmitting the NDA, and the potential range of PDUFA dates for Libervant once meeting minutes are finalized.
After receiving Fast Track Designation from the FDA for AQST-108, the Company completed enrollment and dosing of 28 healthy volunteers in a Phase 1 pharmacokinetic (PK) trial for AQST-108 in October 2020. The trial features a four-treatment crossover design comparing the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of AQST-108, 0.3 mg of epinephrine subcutaneous injection (subQ), 0.3 mg of epinephrine intramuscular (IM) injection, and 0.5 mg epinephrine subQ. The study includes secondary endpoints for changes in blood pressure and heart rate. The Company is on track to assess the validity and quality of that data in the coming weeks. The Company believes that AQST-108, if approved by the FDA, will be the first orally administered epinephrine-based rescue medication for this patient population.
As previously announced, this week the Company signed a monetization agreement for up to $125 million for its worldwide royalty rights in KYNMOBI™ (apomorphine HCI) sublingual film for the acute, intermittent treatment of OFF episodes in patients with Parkinson’s disease, which received approval from the FDA on May 21, 2020. The Company expects to close and fund the monetization transaction later this month. Under the terms of the monetization agreement, the Company will receive at closing of the transaction $40 million and is eligible to receive up to the additional $85 million of contingent payments at various points, beginning as early as the fourth quarter of 2020, based on the achievement of worldwide royalty targets and certain other commercial milestones. This includes up to $25 million potentially available between now and mid-2022. The net proceeds of the transaction will be used to repay certain senior notes and fund the Company’s ongoing development and commercialization of its proprietary product and pipeline candidates, as well as for working capital purposes. In connection with the monetization transaction, the Company will repay $22.5 million of its senior notes and issue $4.0 million of new senior notes in lieu of paying a prepayment premium on the early repayment of the senior notes, bringing the Company’s outstanding senior debt from $70 million to $51.5 million, and reducing the principal and interest obligations under the senior note debt facility in the future.
Third Quarter 2020 Financials
Total revenues were $8.3 million in the third quarter 2020, compared to $12.4 million in the third quarter 2019. This year-over-year decrease reflected lower Suboxone manufacture and supply revenue, as well as lower license and royalty revenue, offset partially by growth in Sympazan revenue. Aquestive saw revenue growth in the third quarter 2020 compared to the prior year period of 102% for Sympazan, the first of its proprietary products to be launched.
Aquestive’s net loss for the third quarter 2020 was $16.6 million, or $0.49 loss per share. The net loss for the third quarter 2019 was $18.4 million, or $0.74 loss per share. The change in net loss was driven by lower revenue and reductions in costs and expenses, primarily in manufacture and supply expense reflecting the lower volume of production in the third quarter 2020, compared to the third quarter 2019. In addition, the third quarter of 2019 included a $4.9 million loss on extinguishment of debt.
Non GAAP adjusted loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation and other adjustments (adjusted EBITDA loss) was $11.6 million in the third quarter 2020, compared to $8.4 million of losses in the comparable prior period. The year-over-year change in adjusted EBITDA loss was driven primarily by lower revenue partially offset by reductions in costs and expenses, primarily in manufacture and supply expenses, in the third quarter 2020, compared to the third quarter 2019.
As of September 30, 2020, cash and cash equivalents were $17.1 million.
2020 Outlook
Aquestive is updating its full year 2020 financial outlook. The Company’s full year guidance does not include the accounting for the monetization of the KYNMOBI royalty stream.
The Company expects:
| • | Total revenues of approximately $42 million to $46 million |
| • | Non-GAAP adjusted gross margins of approximately 70% to 75% on total revenues |
| • | Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss of approximately $38 million to $42 million |
| • | Cash burn of approximately $45 million to $50 million |
The novel coronavirus pandemic continues to evolve and the extent to which it may impact Aquestive’s ongoing and future business operations, financial results and resources, or the success of the Company’s commercial and candidate products, including Libervant, will depend on future developments which are uncertain.

About Aquestive Therapeutics
Aquestive Therapeutics is a pharmaceutical company that applies innovative technology to solve therapeutic problems and improve medicines for patients. The Company has commercialized one internally-developed proprietary product to date, Sympazan, has a commercial proprietary product pipeline focused on the treatment of diseases of the central nervous system, or CNS, and other unmet needs, and is developing orally administered complex molecules to provide alternatives to invasively administered standard of care therapies. The Company also collaborates with other pharmaceutical companies to bring new molecules to market using proprietary, best-in-class technologies, like PharmFilm®, and has proven capabilities for drug development and commercialization.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release and our webcast earnings call regarding our quarterly financial results contains financial measures that do not comply with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), such as Adjusted EBITDA loss, non-GAAP adjusted gross margins, non-GAAP adjusted costs and expenses and other adjusted expense measures, because such measures exclude, as applicable, share-based compensation, interest expense, interest income, depreciation, amortization, and income taxes.
Specifically, the Company adjusts net income (loss) for loss on the extinguishment of debt; certain non-cash expenses, including share-based compensation expenses; depreciation and amortization; and interest expense, interest income and income taxes, with a result of Adjusted EBITDA loss. Similarly, manufacture and supply expense, research and development expense, and selling, general and administrative expense were adjusted for certain non-cash expenses of share-based compensation expense and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA loss and these non-GAAP expense categories are used as a supplement to the corresponding GAAP measures to provide additional insight regarding the Company’s ongoing operating performance.
These measures supplement the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Aquestive management uses these measures to analyze its financial results, and its future manufacture and supply expenses, gross margins, research and development expense and selling, general and administrative expense and to help make managerial decisions. In management’s opinion, these non-GAAP measures provide added transparency into the operating performance of Aquestive and added insight into the effectiveness of our operating strategies and actions. We may provide one or more revenue measures adjusted for certain discrete items, such as fees collected on certain licensed products, in order to provide investors added insight into our revenue stream and breakdown, along with providing our GAAP revenue. Such measures are intended to supplement, not act as substitutes for, comparable GAAP measures and should not be read as a measure of liquidity for Aquestive. Adjusted EBITDA loss and the other non-GAAP measures are also likely calculated in a way that is not comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Non-GAAP Outlook
In providing outlook for non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss and non-GAAP gross margin, we exclude certain items which are otherwise included in determining the comparable GAAP financial measures. In order to inform our outlook measures of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss and non-GAAP gross margin, a description of the 2019 and 2020 adjustments which have been applicable in determining non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss and non-GAAP gross margin for these periods are reflected in the tables below. In providing outlook for non-GAAP gross margin, we adjust for non-cash share-based compensation expense and depreciation and amortization. We are providing such outlook only on a non-GAAP basis because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the totality or ultimate outcome or occurrence of these adjustments for the forward-looking period such as share-based compensation expense, income tax, amortization, and certain other adjusted items, which can be dependent on future events that may not be reliably predicted. Based on past reported results, where one or more of these items have been applicable, such excluded items could be material, individually or in the aggregate, to reported results.

Additional Information Regarding FDA Regulations and Guidance on
“Major Contribution to Patient Care”
The FDA’s response to the Company’s Citizen’s Petition dated November 1, 2019 includes the following in discussing orphan drug exclusivity, including pertinent factors that may be considered by the FDA in making a determination of “major contribution to patient care” for “clinical superiority” as: convenient treatment location; duration of treatment; patient comfort; reduced treatment burden; advances in ease and comfort of drug administration; longer periods between doses; and potential for self-administration:
Section 527 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act defines “clinically superior” to mean “the drug provides a significant therapeutic advantage over and above an already approved or licensed drug in terms of greater efficacy, greater safety, or by providing a major contribution to patient care.” The orphan-drug regulations elaborate on the definition of “clinically superior” as follows:
Clinically superior means that a drug is shown to provide a significant therapeutic advantage over and above that provided by an approved drug (that is otherwise the same drug) in one or more of the following ways:
Greater effectiveness than an approved drug (as assessed by effect on a clinically meaningful endpoint in adequate and well controlled clinical trials). Generally, this would represent the same kind of evidence needed to support a comparative effectiveness claim for two different drugs; in most cases, direct comparative clinical trials would be necessary; or
Greater safety in a substantial portion of the target populations, for example, by the elimination of an ingredient or contaminant that is associated with relatively frequent adverse effects. In some cases, direct comparative clinical trials will be necessary; or
In unusual cases, where neither greater safety nor greater effectiveness has been shown, a demonstration that the drug otherwise makes a major contribution to patient care.
Because of the diverse ways in which drugs may qualify as clinically superior under these criteria, FDA evaluates clinical superiority on a case by case basis. Specifically, with respect to the major contribution to patient care prong of the clinical superiority definition, the FDA has further stated:
There is no way to quantify such superiority in a general way. The amount and kind of superiority needed would vary depending on many factors, including the nature and severity of the disease or condition, the quality of the evidence presented, and diverse other factors;
and
The following factors, when applicable to severe or life-threatening diseases, may in appropriate cases be taken into consideration when determining whether a drug makes a major contribution to patient care: convenient treatment location; duration of treatment; patient comfort; reduced treatment burden; advances in ease and comfort of drug administration; longer periods between doses; and potential for self-administration.
Although FDA approval for U.S. market access cannot be assured, Aquestive remains committed to helping epilepsy patients affected by seizure clusters by working to bring innovative products to the market.

SYMPAZAN IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
BOXED WARNING: RISKS FROM CONCOMITANT USE WITH OPIOIDS
Concomitant use of benzodiazepines and opioids may result in profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma, and death.
• Reserve concomitant prescribing of these drugs for use in patients for whom alternative treatment options are inadequate.
• Limit dosages and durations to the minimum required.
• Follow patients for signs and symptoms of respiratory depression and sedation.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
SYMPAZAN is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to the drug or its ingredients. Hypersensitivity reactions have included serious dermatological reactions.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Potentiation of Sedation from Concomitant Use with Central Nervous System (CNS) Depressants
SYMPAZAN has a CNS depressant effect. Caution patients and/or caregivers against simultaneous use with other CNS depressants or alcohol as the effects of other CNS depressants or alcohol may be potentiated.
Somnolence or Sedation
SYMPAZAN causes dose-related somnolence and sedation, which generally begins within the first month of treatment and may diminish with continued treatment. Monitor patients for somnolence and sedation, particularly with concomitant use of other CNS depressants. Caution patients against engaging in hazardous activities requiring mental alertness, i.e., operating dangerous machinery or motor vehicles, until the effect of SYMPAZAN is known.
Withdrawal Symptoms
Abrupt discontinuation of SYMPAZAN should be avoided. The risk of withdrawal symptoms is greater with higher doses. Withdraw SYMPAZAN gradually to minimize the risk of precipitating seizures, seizure exacerbation, or status epilepticus.
Serious Dermatological Reactions
Serious skin reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), have been reported with clobazam in both children and adults. Discontinue SYMPAZAN at the first sign of rash, unless the rash is clearly not drug-related.
Physical and Psychological Dependence
Patients with a history of substance abuse should be under careful surveillance when receiving SYMPAZAN.
Suicidal Behavior and Ideation
AEDs, including SYMPAZAN, increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior in patients. Patients treated with SYMPAZAN should be monitored for the emergence or worsening of depression, suicidal thoughts or behavior, and/or any unusual changes in mood or behavior. Inform patients, their caregivers, and families of the increased risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Advise them to be alert for and report immediately to healthcare providers any emergence or worsening signs and symptoms of depression, any unusual changes in mood or behavior, or the emergence of suicidal thoughts, behavior, or thoughts of self-harm.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
Adverse reactions (≥10% and more frequently than placebo) included constipation, somnolence or sedation, pyrexia, lethargy, and drooling.
DRUG INTERACTIONS
The concomitant use of benzodiazepines and opioids increases the risk of respiratory depression. Limit dosage and duration of concomitant use of benzodiazepines and opioids and follow patients closely for respiratory depression and sedation. Concomitant use of SYMPAZAN with other CNS depressants, including alcohol, may increase the risk of sedation and somnolence. Caution patients and/or caregivers against simultaneous use with other CNS depressants or alcohol, as effects of other CNS depressants or alcohol may be potentiated.
Hormonal contraceptives that are metabolized by CYP3A4; effectiveness may be diminished when given with SYMPAZAN. Additional non-hormonal forms of contraception are recommended when using SYMPAZAN. Dose adjustment may be necessary of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6 and of SYMPAZAN when co-administered with strong CYP2C19 inhibitors (e.g., fluconazole, fluvoxamine, ticlopidine).
USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
Pregnancy and Lactation: SYMPAZAN may cause fetal harm and should only be used during pregnancy if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Infants born to mothers who have taken benzodiazepines during the later stages of pregnancy can develop dependence, withdrawal syndrome and symptoms suggestive of floppy infant syndrome. SYMPAZAN is excreted in human milk. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants from SYMPAZAN, discontinue nursing or discontinue the drug. Encourage patients to call the toll-free number 1-888-233-2334 to enroll in the Pregnancy Registry or visit http://www.aedpregnancyregistry.org/.
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
