PolarityTE, Inc. (Nasdaq: PTE), a biotechnology company developing and commercializing regenerative tissue products and biomaterials, today reported financial results for the third calendar quarter of 2019. PolarityTE will host a conference call and webcast today, November 12, 2019 at 4:30pm ET. Please see details below.

Highlights

Financial Results for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019

Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $4.186 million, of which $1.640 million was from sales of SkinTE and $2.546 million was associated with PolarityTE's contract research operations.

Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $1.395 million, of which $839 thousand was from sales of SkinTE and $556 thousand was associated with PolarityTE's contract research operations.

Gross Profit relating to SkinTE revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $524 thousand representing a 62.5% gross margin versus 32.1% achieved in the second quarter. This increase in gross margin was driven by improved volumes and measures taken by PolarityTE to lower the per unit production costs.

Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were approximately $13.1 million versus $12.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 included $2.4 million of stock-based compensation which is a non-cash charge.

Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 were approximately $2.96 million versus $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 included a $164 thousand benefit from stock-based compensation which is a non-cash charge, versus an expense of $335 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $48.3 million versus $34.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. General and administration expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 included $20.8 million of stock-based compensation which is a non-cash charge, versus $22.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 were $16.0 million versus $15.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 included $4.8 million of stock-based compensation which is a non-cash charge, versus $10.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. General and administrative expenses were negatively affected by the severance payment to the former CEO whose employment with the Company ended on August 26, 2019.

Sales and marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $12.9 million, of which $780 thousand were non-cash charges for stock-based compensation related to recent new hires.

Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 were $5.0 million, of which $367 thousand was non-cash charges for stock-based compensation related to recent new hires.

Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $71.3 million compared with a net loss of $46.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $23.0 million compared with a net loss of $20.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

Cash and Liquidity as of September 30, 2019

As of September 30, 2019, our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balance was approximately $45.9 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $61.8 million at December 31, 2018.

Cash used in operating activities for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, was approximately $11.86 million or approximately $3.95 million per month, 3% lower than the $4.07 million per month in the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 26% lower than the $5.5 million per month in the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Based on product development and commercialization plans, the Company believes existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments will be adequate to meet capital needs for at least the next 12 months.

Commercial and Operational Updates

In the third quarter of 2019, there were 81 paid cases versus 46 paid cases in the second quarter of 2019, a 76% quarter over quarter increase. The number of paid cases in the third quarter of 2019 resulted in approximately 66% more SkinTE revenues when compared to SkinTE revenues generated in the second quarter of 2019. There were 23 repeat physician users in the third quarter of 2019 versus 14 repeat physician users in the second quarter of 2019, a 64% quarter over quarter increase. There were 24 new physician users in the third quarter of 2019 versus 14 new physician users in the second quarter of 2019, a 71% quarter over quarter increase.

About PolarityTE®

PolarityTE is focused on transforming the lives of patients by discovering, designing and developing a range of regenerative tissue products and biomaterials for the fields of medicine, biomedical engineering and material sciences. Rather than manufacturing with synthetic and foreign materials within artificially engineered environments, PolarityTE manufactures products from the patient's own tissue and uses the patient's own body to support the regenerative process. From a small piece of healthy autologous tissue, the Company creates an easily deployable, dynamic and self-propagating product designed to regenerate the target tissues. PolarityTE's innovative method is intended to promote and accelerate growth of the patient's tissues to undergo a form of effective regenerative healing. Learn more at www.PolarityTE.com ?

About SkinTEtm

SkinTE is a human cellular and tissue-based product derived from a patient's own skin intended for the repair, reconstruction, and replacement of skin tissue. SkinTE has been proven to regrow skin over exposed bone, muscle, joint and tendon and has been used to treat a variety of skin defects, including burns, wounds, traumatic injuries, surgical reconstruction, scars, and failed skin grafts or conventional treatments for wounds and burns.

SkinTE is intended to be used by physicians or other appropriate healthcare providers for homologous uses of skin tissues/integument. Patients who have suffered from an event, disease, process or acquired deficit that results in the functional loss or void of skin/integument systems can receive SkinTE as an adjunct and/or in place of split-thickness skin grafting, full-thickness grafting, temporizing skin coverage and/or skin substitute products. SkinTE is for autologous use only. Aseptic technique during harvest and deployment of SkinTE is mandatory. SkinTE is marketed as an HCT/P regulated by the FDA solely under Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act and 21 CFR 1271.
