Marinomed reached key strategic milestones in the first quarter 2019. With the successful IPO on the prime market of the Vienna Stock Exchange in February 2019 Marinomed generated gross proceeds amounting to EUR 22.4 million. In addition, in the first quarter 2019 Marinomed received a loan commitment from the European Investment Bank of up to EUR 15 million. This provides Marinomed with sufficient funds to finance future investments. These focus on research & development to exploit the full potential of the two platforms Marinosolv® and Carragelose® in order to accelerate the company's growth trajectory.
The clinical phase III for the flagship product Budesolv, a nose spray to treat allergic rhinitis, was carried out as scheduled in the first quarter and completed in April 2019. The available data prove that after one week of treatment, Budesolv achieves at least the same effect with a dose over six times lower than Rhinocort, the current marketed reference product. Moreover the results of the study show that within four hours after the first dose of Budesolv the symptoms of allergic rhinitis (hay fever) improve compared to the symptoms after the administration of a placebo. This effect was not observed with the
reference product Rhinocort. The planned primary and secondary endpoints of the study have thus been achieved. The successful completion of the Phase III study did not only lay the foundations to take the next steps for the market authorisation of Budesolv, but also validates the efficacy of the innovative Marinosolv® technology platform.
The products of the Carragelose® platform have a proven global track record as the first causal therapy for colds and flu infections. At the present time revenues are generated with 14 worldwide partners and six products in more than 40 countries. The focus in this segment still lies on the preparation for entry into new markets as well as launches of additional products in existing markets. In the beginning of the fiscal year 2019 the necessary registrations for product launches in new countries were made. Depending on regulatory approvals this should have a positive effect on revenues in the next quarters.
Unlike conventional biotechnology companies, Marinomed is already generating revenues from the sale of products from its Carragelose® platform. Positive sales performance in several markets in the first quarter 2019 could not compensate for weaker demand in two core markets, which profited from product launches in the prior year period. Revenues stood at EUR 0.75 million, after strong EUR 0.92 million in the first quarter 2018.
In line with planning, results were negative which reflects the major investments in Marinomed's future growth trajectory. The operating result (EBIT) amounted to EUR -2.63 million, impacted by higher R&D expenses and one-time costs in connection with the IPO (1-3/2018: EUR -1.05 million). The financial result decreased to EUR -0.61 million and includes non-cash effects related to the convertible bond in the amount of EUR -0.47 million. The result for this quarter stood at EUR -3.24 million after EUR -1.22 million in the first quarter 2018.
Total equity and liabilities increased from EUR 5.26 million as of December 31, 2018 to EUR 20.93 million as of March 31, 2019, mainly because the company's equity increased to EUR 14.42 million after the IPO (31.12.2018: EUR -16.27 million). Cash and cash equivalents increased to EUR 17.84 million in the first quarter 2019 (12/2018: EUR 1.72 million).
With the Marinosolv® platform Marinomed targets the USD 5 billion global market for cortisone-based allergic rhinitis treatment. Next steps include the preparation of the regulatory submission of Budesolv, which is set to take place in 2020, as well as the start of the clinical phase II for Tacrosolv, a product to treat inflammatory ocular disorders, in the second half of 2019.
Marinomed sees further substantial growth potential in the pharmaceutical market for OTC products against a backdrop of what remains intense competitive pressure. To make the best use of this potential, Marinomed concentrates on optimised servicing for present partners and aims to forge additional new partnerships. Therefore studies are already on schedule, which should enable the partners to further differentiate from competitors. Development currently focuses on the continuation of the bibliographical approval process for Carravin, a combination of Carragelose® and the decongestant compound xylometazolin.
Marinomed expects continuing positive performance for orders and sales in 2019. However, the high research & development expenses as well as one-time expenses related to the IPO mean that the company expects operating losses for the fiscal year 2019.
