WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., May 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MannKind Corporation (Nasdaq:MNKD) today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

“We started 2021 by taking advantage of favorable market conditions to strengthen our financial position with the issuance of $230 million of senior convertible notes, which provides our current and future partners with greater confidence in our company,” said Michael Castagna, Chief Executive Officer of MannKind Corporation. “The capital raised allows us to reduce our legacy debt, advance our pipeline and grow Afrezza. In the first quarter of 2021, the underlying demand for paid Afrezza prescriptions grew in the mid-single digits year over year.”

Total revenues were $17.4 million for the first quarter of 2021, an increase of $1.2 million, or 7%, reflecting Afrezza net revenue of $8.1 million and collaboration and services revenue of $9.3 million. Afrezza net revenue increased 1% compared to $8.0 million in the first quarter of 2020. Collaboration and services revenue for the first quarter of 2021 increased $1.1 million compared to the first quarter of 2020, primarily due to additional pass-through costs associated with the UT license agreement and the launch of the Vista Pharma Co-promotion Agreement for Thyquidity.

Afrezza gross profit for each of the first quarters of 2021 and 2020 was $3.8 million. Cost of goods sold increased by $0.2 million compared to the same period in 2020, which was offset by the increase in net revenues discussed above. Gross margin in the first quarter of 2021 was 47% compared to 48% for the same period in 2020.

Research and development expenses for the first quarter of 2021 were $2.4 million compared to $1.8 million for the first quarter of 2020. This increase of $0.7 million, or 39%, was attributable to personnel costs primarily related to increased headcount for research and development, regulatory and medical affairs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2021 were $17.4 million compared to $14.4 million for the first quarter of 2020. This increase of $3.1 million, or 21%, was primarily due to a $2.3 million increase in personnel costs primarily related to increased headcount for our Afrezza commercial team, $0.3 million in patient support services and $0.3 million in promotional and marketing activities.

For the first quarter of 2021, the gain on foreign currency translation for insulin purchase commitments denominated in Euros was $3.8 million compared $1.8 million for the first quarter of 2020. The fluctuation was due to the change in the U.S. dollar to Euro foreign exchange rate. Interest expense on debt for the first quarter of 2021 was $6.5 million compared to $2.3 million for the first quarter of 2020. This increase of $4.1 million was due to a $3.7 million milestone obligation that was achieved during the quarter and interest expense from the senior convertible notes and the MidCap credit facility.

The net loss for the first quarter of 2021 was $12.9 million, or $0.05 per share, compared to a $9.3 million net loss in the first quarter of 2020, or $0.04 per share. The increased net loss of $3.6 million was primarily due to the increase in interest expense, selling, general and administrative expenses, and research and development expense, all of which were partially offset by an increase in the gain on foreign currency translation.

Cash, cash equivalents, and investments at March 31, 2021 were $278.3 million compared to $67.0 million at December 31, 2020. The increase in cash, cash equivalents and investments was primarily due to the issuance of $230.0 million of 2.5% senior convertible notes.

Debt Reductions Subsequent to March 31, 2021

In April 2021, the Company repaid $35.1 million outstanding principal under the Mann Group non-convertible promissory note plus $4.9 million of accrued and unpaid interest to the Mann Group. In addition, the Company repaid $10.0 million outstanding principal under the MidCap credit facility.
