Miami, FL – May 12, 2022 – Fortress Biotech, Inc. (NASDAQ: FBIO) (“Fortress”), an innovative biopharmaceutical company focused on efficiently acquiring, developing and commercializing or monetizing promising therapeutic products and product candidates, today announced financial results and recent corporate highlights for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.
Lindsay A. Rosenwald, M.D., Fortress’ Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Together with our subsidiaries and partner companies, Fortress had an exciting start to the year with the acquisition and commercial launch of two dermatology products, Amzeeq® and Zilxi®, bringing our total number of marketed prescription products to nine. Fortress also has a growing portfolio of 30 product candidates across our partner companies, including 20 separate clinical programs in 30 ongoing clinical trials. Four product candidates are in seven1 ongoing pivotal clinical trials. We were pleased to announce positive topline results from the registration-enabling study of cosibelimab in metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (“cSCC”) in January 2022. Throughout the remainder of 2022 we anticipate multiple key regulatory and clinical inflection points, such as the submission of a Biologics License Application (“BLA”) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for cosibelimab and the completion of Cyprium’s CUTX-101 rolling submission of its New Drug Application (“NDA”). CUTX-101 is eligible for a priority review voucher upon FDA approval. Moreover, we expect the availability of clinical data from many product candidates in ongoing clinical trials including MB-106, MB-107, cosibelimab and Dotinurad.”
Dr. Rosenwald continued, “We ended the first quarter with $289.7 million in consolidated cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. Additionally, we attained a new company quarterly record for net revenue, $23.9 million, which is an increase of 106% period-over-period. We believe that we are well-positioned for success with multiple product candidates and remain focused on creating long-term shareholder value through asset monetizations, equity holdings/appreciation in our subsidiaries and partner companies, annual equity dividends and royalty revenues.”
