2024 THIRD QUARTER COMPANY FINANCIAL RESULTS:

Net Mytesi Revenue: The combined net revenue for Mytesi was approximately $3.0 million in the third quarter of 2024, representing an increase of approximately 14% over the combined net revenue in the second quarter of 2024, which totaled approximately $2.6 million, and an increase of 8% over the combined net revenue for the third quarter of 2023, which totaled approximately $2.8 million.
License Revenue: For the third quarter of 2024, license fees recognized from the securities purchase agreement with a European partner, supplemented by a binding term sheet, amounted to $42,000, and also amounted to $42,000 in the second quarter of 2024. As of September 30, 2024, the total deferred revenue associated with this contract amounted to $765,000.
Mytesi Prescription Volume: Mytesi prescription volume increased in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2024 by 10.9%. Prescriptions increased by 2.7% in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023. Prescription volume differs from invoiced sales volume, which reflects, among other factors, varying buying patterns among specialty pharmacies in the closed network as they manage their inventory levels.

Cost of Product Revenue: Total cost of product revenue increased by approximately $26,700, from $0.51 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 compared to $0.54 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
Research and Development: The R&D expense decreased by $2.0 million, from $6.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 to $4.0 million during the same quarter in 2024, primarily due to the winding down of activities related to the phase 3 OnTarget clinical trial and regulatory activities for the trial.

Sales and Marketing: The Sales and Marketing expense increased by approximately $0.5 million, from $1.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 to $2.0 million during the same quarter in 2024. The increase in this expense was mostly due to expanded market access activities and the commercial launch of Gelclair.
General and Administrative: The G&A expense increased by $0.3 million, from $3.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, to $3.8 million during the same quarter in 2024, largely due to increased consulting and legal expenses.
Loss from Operations: Loss from operations decreased by $1.5 million, from $8.8 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2023 to $7.3 million during the same period in 2024.
Net Loss: Net loss attributable to common shareholders increased by approximately $2.1 million, from $7.8 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2023 to $9.9 million in the same period in 2024. In addition to the loss from operations:
- Interest expense decreased by approximately $0.7 million, from $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, to approximately $0.2 million net interest income for the same period in 2024, primarily due to changing the accounting of certain debt instruments to FVO. The lower interest expense was offset by a higher loss in a change in the fair value of financial instruments and hybrid instruments designated at FVO.
- Change in fair value of financial instrument and hybrid instrument designated at FVO decreased approximately by $0.8 million from a loss of approximately $2.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023, to a loss of about $3.1 million for the same period in 2024 primarily due to fair value adjustments in liability classified warrants and notes payable designated at FVO.

Non-GAAP Recurring EBITDA: Non-GAAP recurring EBITDA for the third quarter of 2024 and the third quarter of 2023 were a net loss of $8.2 million and $6.2 million, respectively.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Measures
The Company supplements its condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis by providing non-GAAP EBITDA and non-GAAP recurring EBITDA, which are considered non-GAAP under applicable SEC rules. Jaguar believes that the disclosure items of these non-GAAP measures provide investors with additional information that reflects the basis upon which Company management assesses and operates the business. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed in isolation or as substitutes for GAAP net sales and GAAP net loss and are not substitutes for, or superior to, measures of financial performance in conformity with GAAP.

The Company defines non-GAAP EBITDA as net loss before interest expense and other expense, depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense and provision for or benefit from income taxes. The Company defines non-GAAP Recurring EBITDA as non-GAAP EBITDA adjusted for certain non-recurring revenues and expenses. Company management believes that non-GAAP EBITDA and non-GAAP Recurring EBITDA are meaningful indicators of Jaguar's performance and provide useful information to investors regarding the Company's results of operations and financial condition.
