  • Q2 license and service revenue was primarily from Mayne Pharma. Continuing gross profit was $0.437 million in Q2 and $0.853 million for the half year; comparative-period cost of revenue equaled revenue.
  • Operating expenses fell substantially year over year following the transition to a royalty model and reduced infrastructure. Q2 continuing net loss narrowed to $2.4 million from $14.9 million; the six-month loss narrowed to $4.7 million from $32.7 million.
  • Comparative net income is not indicative of recurring performance: 2022 results included significant discontinued-operations income, including the vitaCare divestiture gain. Discontinued operations generated a $1.3 million loss in the first half of 2023, versus $96.0 million of income in the first half of 2022.
  • At June 30, cash was $13.7 million, with no restricted cash; current assets were $19.6 million and current liabilities $14.4 million. Total assets were $53.7 million, total liabilities $22.5 million, and stockholders’ equity $31.2 million. The filing reports no outstanding borrowings under the former financing agreement, which was repaid and terminated in December 2022; operating lease liabilities were $6.9 million.
  • Continuing operating cash use was $12.1 million for the half year, compared with $38.6 million in 2022. Discontinued operations used a further $24.6 million net; total cash declined $35.6 million from beginning cash and restricted cash of $49.3 million to $13.7 million.

Material changes, outlook and risks

  • Mayne Pharma received U.S. commercialization rights to IMVEXXY, BIJUVA, prenatal vitamins and ANNOVERA. The company earns royalties, generally 8% on the first $80 million of annual U.S. product sales and 7.5% above that threshold, subject to adjustments; the rate can fall to 2% for a product after specified patent or generic-entry events. The agreement also provides minimum annual royalties of $3 million for 12 years, adjusted for inflation, and sales-based milestones. Q2 and six-month Mayne royalty revenue was $0.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively.
  • Royalty receivables were $0.8 million current and $19.8 million long term. Revenue concentration is high: all first-half 2023 license revenue came from Mayne and Theramex. The company has one full-time employee and relies on external consultants.
  • Management states that additional capital may be needed before the company becomes cash-flow positive and that substantial doubt exists about its ability to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months. Potential equity or debt financing is uncertain and may dilute shareholders. Under a May 2023 Rubric agreement, the company may sell up to 5 million shares, for aggregate proceeds of up to $5 million; the June drawdown raised $1.15 million gross through 312,525 shares.
  • The final working-capital settlement with Mayne is disputed: Mayne’s March 2023 calculation differed significantly from the company’s estimate. The outcome is uncertain, and the company says it cannot reasonably estimate a loss range. A potential vitaCare earn-out of up to $7 million is not expected by management to be realized.
  • Key risks include licensee product sales and royalty timing, the Mayne working-capital settlement, access to financing, and potential effects of COVID-19 or supply-chain disruption. Teva’s challenge to IMVEXXY patents remains relevant; Mayne is responsible for patent enforcement under the license agreement. No specific financial guidance was provided.

Investor facts to verify

  • Cash runway, expected cash use, and whether further financing will be required; review the going-concern disclosure.
  • Mayne product sales, royalty receipts, minimum-royalty receivable assumptions, and any subsequent working-capital settlement.
  • Terms and remaining capacity of the Rubric financing, including dilution and any related-party considerations.
  • Developments in the Teva patent litigation and any effect on royalty rates or product commercialization.
  • How continuing results and cash flows evolve as the company operates solely as a royalty business.
