Aradigm Announces Second Quarter 2014 Financial Results
NASDAQ listing achieved upon completion of reverse split
Hayward, CA – August 7, 2014 – Aradigm Corporation (Nasdaq:ARDM) (the “Company”) today announced financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014.
Total revenue was $12.2 million for the second quarter of 2014, compared with $0.2 million in revenue for the second quarter of 2013. The increase in revenue was due to the recognition of revenue from the Grifols collaboration arrangement as the Company is being reimbursed for Pulmaquin® project-related costs, as well as the revenue recognized from work being conducted under NIH grants.
Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2014 were $13.6 million, compared with total operating expenses of $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2013. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to higher R&D expenses from Pulmaquin Phase III clinical trials which resulted in higher costs in contract manufacturing and testing as well as higher clinical trial expenses.
As of June 30, 2014, cash and cash equivalents totaled $50.3 million.
Recent Highlights
| • | May 2014 - U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has designated the Company’s lead inhaled antibiotic candidate, Pulmaquin, as a Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP). The QIDP designation, granted for treatment of non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (non-CF BE) patients with chronic lung infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, will make Pulmaquin eligible to benefit from certain incentives for the development of new antibiotics provided under the Generating Antibiotic Incentives Now Act (GAIN Act). These incentives include priority review and eligibility for fast-track status. |
| • | June 2014 - The Company received the $5 million milestone payment from Grifols S.A. for enrolling and dosing of the first patient in the ORBIT-3 (Once-daily Respiratory Bronchiectasis Inhalation Treatment) Phase III pivotal clinical trial of Pulmaquin for the treatment of non-CF BE. |
| • | June 2014 - Aradigm common shares began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the ticker symbol “ARDM.” |
| • | June 2014 – Announced the dosing of the first patient in the ORBIT-4 Phase III pivotal clinical trial. ORBIT-4 is the second of the two Phase III pivotal clinical trials Aradigm is conducting with Pulmaquin in non-CF BE. The Company announced the dosing of the first patient in the ORBIT-3 clinical trial in April 2014. |
“We are very pleased that the FDA has recognized Pulmaquin as being a potentially valuable antibacterial drug to treat serious or life-threatening infections with Pseudomonas aerugnosa in patients with non-CF bronchiectasis – the condition currently being investigated in our two Phase III clinical trials. Pseudomonas aeruginosa are a significant risk factor in cystic fibrosis and COPD patients, too. We have encouraging preclinical data also with our liposomal inhaled antibiotic in several other serious infections including non-TB mycobacteria and agents that pose a potential bioterrorism threat,” said Igor Gonda, Aradigm’s Chief Executive Officer.
