Miami, FL – August 11, 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 second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Lindsay A. Rosenwald, M.D., Fortress’ Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Fortress ended the first half of 2022 with $42.8 million in net revenue, which is a 45.5% increase over the same period last year. We currently have nine marketed prescription products and a growing portfolio of 20 clinical programs in over 30 ongoing clinical trials. We anticipate multiple important late-stage regulatory and clinical inflection points including the submission of a Biologics License Application (“BLA”) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for cosibelimab for the treatment of metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (“cSCC”) and the continued rolling submission of Cyprium Therapeutics’s CUTX-101 New Drug Application (“NDA”).

In May 2022, we announced that Checkpoint Therapeutics, Inc. (“Checkpoint”) received Pediatric Investigation Plan (“PIP”) product-specific waivers from the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) and the U.K. Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) for cosibelimab in cSCC. The waivers remove the requirement to conduct pediatric clinical studies to support cosibelimab marketing authorization applications in Europe.

●

In June 2022, we announced that the top-line results of our pivotal trial of cosibelimab in metastatic cSCC were presented at the 2022 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting. Data highlights presented include confirmed objective response rate (“ORR”) by independent central review in the modified intent-to-treat population of 48.7% (95% CI, 37.0-60.4) and 13.2% of patients achieved a complete response in target lesions. Cosibelimab was generally well tolerated with no unexpected safety signals. Checkpoint intends to submit a BLA to the FDA by the end of this year based on data from this pivotal cohort.

●

Also in June 2022, we announced positive interim results from our pivotal trial of cosibelimab in locally advanced cSCC. As of the March 2022 data cutoff, the confirmed ORR by independent central review in 31 patients was 54.8% (95% CI: 36.0, 72.7), substantially exceeding a clinically meaningful lower bound of the 95% two-sided confidence interval. Based on these positive results, Checkpoint intends to continue discussions with the FDA on the potential addition of locally advanced cSCC as a second indication in the planned BLA targeted for submission at year-end.

●

Cosibelimab was sourced by Fortress and is currently in development at our partner company, Checkpoint.

CUTX-101 (Copper Histidinate for Menkes disease)

●

CUTX-101 is currently in development at Cyprium Therapeutics, Inc.

MB-106 (CD20-targeted CAR T Cell Therapy)

●

In April 2022, we announced that interim Phase 1/2 data on MB-106, a CD20-targeted, autologous CAR T cell therapy for patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (“B-NHL”) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (“CLL”), were presented at the 2022 Tandem Meetings I Transplantation & Cellular Therapy Meetings of

the American Society of Transplantation and Cellular Therapy and Center for International Blood & Marrow Transplant Research. Data demonstrated high efficacy and a very favorable safety profile in all patients (n=25). Five dose levels were used during the study, and complete responses were observed at all dose levels. Durable responses were observed in a wide range of hematologic malignancies including follicular lymphoma (“FL”), CLL, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (“DLBCL”) and Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (“WM”). An ORR of 96% and a complete response (“CR”) rate of 72% were observed in all patients across all dose levels.

●

Also in April 2022, MB-106 data focused on CLL were presented at the 4th International Workshop on CAR-T and Immunotherapies.

●

In June 2022, we announced that MB-106 data were presented in an oral session at the European Hematology Association 2022 Hybrid Congress. Dr. Mazyar Shadman of Fred Hutch presented updated interim data from the ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trial for B-NHL and CLL. Data presented include a 94% ORR and 78% CR rate in patients with FL. Overall, for the 26 patients treated on the trial, there was a 96% ORR and 73% CR, including complete responses in both DLBCL patients, both WM patients, and both patients previously treated with CD19-targeted CAR-T therapy (1 DLBCL patient and 1 FL patient).

●

Also in June 2022, we announced that the FDA granted Orphan Drug Designation to MB-106 for the treatment of WM, a rare type of B-NHL.

●

A Mustang Bio-sponsored multicenter Phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of MB-106 for relapsed or refractory B-NHL and CLL is enrolling patients, and dosing of the first patient is expected within the next 60 days.

●

MB-106 was sourced by Fortress and is currently in development at our partner company, Mustang Bio, Inc. (“Mustang Bio”).

MB-107 and MB-207 (Lentiviral Gene Therapies for XSCID)

●

In May 2022, we announced that interim Phase 1/2 data on treatment with the same lentiviral vector used in MB-107, Mustang Bio’s lentiviral gene therapy for X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (“XSCID”), also known as bubble boy disease, in newly diagnosed infants under the age of two, were presented in an oral presentation during the Clinical Trials Spotlight Symposium at the American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy 25th Annual Meeting. The presentation included updated data from a multicenter Phase 1/2 clinical trial for XSCID in newly diagnosed infants under the age of two at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital in San Francisco and Seattle Children’s Hospital. All 23 treated patients were alive at 2.6-year median follow-up without evidence of malignant transformation.

●

In 2023, we expect to enroll the first patient in a pivotal multicenter Phase 2 clinical trial under Mustang Bio’s Investigational New Product Drug Application (“IND”) to evaluate MB-107, a lentiviral gene therapy for the treatment of infants under the age of two with XSCID.

●

Mustang Bio filed an IND application in December 2021 for its pivotal multicenter Phase 2 clinical trial of MB-207, a lentiviral gene therapy for the treatment of patients with XSCID who have been previously treated with a hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and for whom re-treatment is indicated. The trial is currently on hold pending CMC clearance from the FDA, and based on feedback from the FDA, Mustang Bio expects to enroll the first patient in a pivotal multicenter Phase 2 clinical trial in 2023.

●

MB-107 and MB-207 were sourced by Fortress and are currently in development at Mustang Bio.

Triplex (Cytomegalovirus (“CMV”) Vaccine)

●

Earlier today we announced that Triplex received a grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases of the National Institutes of Health (“NIAID/NIH”) that could provide over $20 million in non-dilutive funding.

Financial Results:

To assist our stockholders in understanding our company, we have prepared non-GAAP financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. These results exclude the operations of our four public partner companies: Avenue Therapeutics, Inc. (“Avenue”), Checkpoint, Journey Medical and Mustang Bio, as well as any one-time, non-recurring, non-cash transactions. The goal in providing these non-GAAP financial metrics is to highlight the financial results of Fortress’ core operations, which are comprised of our privately held development-stage entities, as well as our business development and finance functions. See “Use of Non-GAAP Measures” below.

●

As of June 30, 2022, Fortress’ consolidated cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $251.0 million², compared to $289.7 million as of March 31, 2022 and $308.0 million as of December 31, 2021, a decrease of $38.7 million during the prior quarter and a decrease of $57.0 million year-to-date.

●

On a GAAP basis, Fortress’ net revenue totaled $18.9 million for the second quarter of 2022, which included $18.2 million in net revenue generated from our marketed dermatology products. This compares to net revenue totaling $17.8 million for the second quarter of 2021, which included $15.3 million in net revenue generated from our marketed dermatology products.

●

On a GAAP basis, consolidated research and development expenses including license acquisitions were $33.1 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $33.8 million for the second quarter of 2021. On a non-GAAP basis, Fortress research and development expenses were $3.3 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $0.7 million for second quarter of 2021.

² At June 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $248.8 million, of which $71.5 million relates to Fortress and the private partner companies, primarily funded by Fortress, $30.9 million relates to Checkpoint, $107.4 million relates to Mustang Bio, $38.1 million relates to Journey Medical, and $0.9 million relates to Avenue. Restricted cash related to our leases was $2.2 million, of which $1.2 million relates to Fortress and $1.0 million relates to Mustang Bio.

●

On a GAAP basis, consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses were $29.0 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $19.4 million for the second quarter of 2021. On a non-GAAP basis, Fortress selling, general and administrative expenses were $8.5 million, for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $7.1 million for the second quarter of 2021.

●

On a GAAP basis, consolidated net loss attributable to common stockholders was $21.4 million, or $0.24 per share, for the second quarter of 2022, compared to consolidated net loss attributable to common stockholders of $3.5 million, or $0.04 per share for the second quarter of 2021.

●

Fortress’ non-GAAP loss attributable to common stockholders was $8.9 million, or $0.10 per share, for the second quarter of 2022, compared to Fortress’ non-GAAP loss attributable to common stockholders of $6.4 million, or $0.08 per share, for the second quarter of 2021.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures:

In addition to the GAAP financial measures as presented in this press release and that will be presented in our Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2022 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Company, in this press release, has included certain non-GAAP measurements. The non-GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders is defined by the Company as GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders, less net losses attributable to common stockholders from our public partner companies Avenue, Checkpoint, Journey Medical and Mustang Bio (“public partner companies”), as well as our former subsidiary, Caelum. In addition, the Company has also provided a Fortress non-GAAP loss attributable to common stockholders which is a modified EBITDA calculation that starts with the non-GAAP loss attributable to common stockholders and removes stock-based compensation expense, non-cash interest expense, amortization of licenses and debt discount, changes in fair values of investment, changes in fair value of derivative liability, and depreciation expense. The Company also provides non-GAAP research and development expenses including license acquisitions, defined as GAAP research and development costs, less research and development costs of our public partner companies and non-GAAP consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses, defined as GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses, less selling, general and administrative costs of our public partner companies.

Management believes each of these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance because (i) it allows for greater transparency with respect to key measures used by management in its financial and operational decision-making; (ii) it excludes the impact of non-cash or, when specified, non-recurring items that are not directly attributable to the Company’s core operating performance and that may obscure trends in the Company’s core operating performance; and (iii) it is used by institutional investors and the analyst community to help analyze the Company’s standalone results separate from the results of its public partner companies. However, non-GAAP loss attributable to common stockholders and any other non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Further, non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company and the manner in which they are calculated may differ from the non-GAAP financial measures or the calculations of the same non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, including the Company’s competitors.

The tables below provide a reconciliation from GAAP to non-GAAP measures:
