BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Aug. 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VYNE Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:VYNE) ("VYNE" or the "Company") today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021. The Company also announced that following an evaluation of its commercial and research and development assets, it has determined to transition its focus and resources to developing treatments for immuno-inflammatory diseases of high unmet medical need and has initiated a process to explore a sale or license of its topical minocycline franchise.
Strategic Process to Sell or License Topical Minocycline Franchise
VYNE conducted a review of its commercial and research and development portfolio of assets to determine how to optimally deploy capital and maximize shareholder value. Following this review, the Company has determined to initiate a process to explore a sale or license of its topical minocycline franchise, including AMZEEQ, ZILXI and FCD105 (the Company's Phase 3 proprietary novel topical combination foam formulation of minocycline and adapalene for the treatment of moderate-to-severe acne vulgaris), as well as the underlying Molecule Stabilizing Technology platform specific to this portfolio. As VYNE transitions its focus and spend toward developing its pipeline, the Company expects to immediately reduce certain of its operating expenses currently supporting its commercial operations, but intends to maintain its sales force into the fourth quarter of 2021 while it seeks a commercial partner.
"We continue to face headwinds commercializing our products in this environment," said David Domzalski, CEO of VYNE. "We have been evaluating our portfolio of assets for some time in order to determine how to optimally deploy capital and drive shareholder value. After careful consideration, we have made the strategic decision to initiate a process to sell or license our topical minocycline franchise. We continue to believe that these products have significant commercial value, but their full potential is more likely to be realized in the hands of a partner with additional scale and resources. Going forward, we will focus our efforts on our pipeline of novel drug candidates."
Focus on Immunological and Inflammatory Conditions
As announced in a separate press release earlier today, VYNE entered into an exclusive evaluation and option agreement with In4Derm Limited ("In4Derm"), a spin-out of the University of Dundee's School of Life Sciences, focused on the discovery and development of proprietary Bromodomain and Extra-Terminal Domain inhibitors (BETi) for the treatment of immunology and oncology conditions. This partnership provides VYNE exclusive access to a library of small molecule NCEs and a unique platform to develop both topical and oral BETi therapeutics for any condition worldwide.
Topical BETi program: On August 6, 2021, VYNE exercised its option to develop topical BET inhibitors. VYN201 is a first-in-class topical pan-BD BET inhibitor that is designed to mitigate systemic drug exposure and will be developed for topical applications. VYNE intends to progress VYN201 in rare, neutrophilic, dermatological indications where there is significant unmet need due to a lack of indicated treatment options. This program is expected to enter the clinic in 2022.
Oral BETi program: VYNE expects to exercise its exclusive option with In4Derm to develop oral BET inhibitors following the selection of a lead candidate for the program. VYN202, is an orally-delivered, first-in-class BET inhibitor that is highly selective for Bromodomain 2 ("BD2"). By selectively inhibiting BD2, the Company believes VYN202 could have a more targeted anti-inflammatory effect with an improved benefit/risk profile and views VYN202 as having significant potential as a novel, oral treatment for major immuno-inflammatory indications. Upon final candidate selection and exercise of its option, the Company intends to commence an IND-enabling non-clinical safety program and enter the clinic next year.
FMX114: VYNE plans to continue investing in FMX114 (its proprietary tofacitinib and fingolimod combination gel) for the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis. The Company remains on track to enroll the first patient in a Phase 2a proof of concept study in 3Q 2021, and topline results are expected by the end of this year.
"As we transition our focus and spend toward developing our pipeline, we have made the difficult decision to significantly reduce our workforce. I would like to personally thank the employees who will be affected by this decision for their hard work and dedication to the Company, particularly during the pandemic," said Mr. Domzalski.
"We believe the best way to create value for our shareholders is to re-focus our resources on advancing our proprietary pipeline," Mr. Domzalski continued. "In support of this transition, we also expect to meaningfully reduce our operating expenses through the remainder of the year from $20 to $25 million per quarter to approximately $10 million per quarter by the start of 2022."
"Our partnership with In4Derm provides us access to an exciting BETi platform for both topical and oral treatments for immuno-inflammatory diseases of high unmet medical need. We intend to leverage our existing development capabilities and strong network of discovery and preclinical science partners to develop products and advance a series of truly innovative new medicines through the clinic," said Mr. Domzalski.
Second Quarter and Recent Highlights:
- AMZEEQ and ZILXI were approved in Chinese Economic Pilot Zone
- The products will be sold in the region by Cutia Therapeutics, ("Cutia"), which licensed the exclusive rights to market AMZEEQ and ZILXI in Greater China.
- Investigator-sponsored trial initiated at Austin Institute for Clinical Research evaluating AMZEEQ with oral isotretinoin in patients with moderate to severe acne.
- On August 9, 2021, the Company initiated a patent infringement suit against Padagis Israel Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (f/k/a Perrigo Israel Pharmaceuticals Ltd. ("Padagis")) in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware arising from Padagis's ANDA filing with the FDA seeking approval to manufacture and sell a generic version of AMZEEQ in the U.S. prior to the expiration of the Company's patents.
- On August 11, 2021, the Company prepaid the entirety of its outstanding indebtedness under its Credit Agreement. The Company paid to its lenders approximately $36.5 million, including a 4% prepayment premium and accrued but unpaid interest. The Credit Agreement has been terminated.

Financial Results for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2021
Revenues
Revenues totaled $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $11.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, our revenue consisted of $4.0 million of product sales and $0.3 million of royalty revenue. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, revenues consisted of $1.5 million of product sales, $0.2 million of royalty revenue and $10.0 million of license revenue.
The increase in product sales is due to the ZILXI product launch in October 2020 and an increase in demand for AMZEEQ. The decrease in license revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to license revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020 is due to the upfront cash payment received in 2020 under the licensing agreement with Cutia for the sale and marketing of our topical minocycline products in China.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold was $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in cost of goods sold is primarily due to an increase in sales volume.
Our gross margin percentage was 80% and 85% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively.
Research and Development Expenses
Our research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2021 were $6.4 million, representing a decrease of $6.7 million, or 51.1%, compared to $13.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Employee-related expenses decreased $4.6 million primarily due to severance costs incurred in 2020 due to the merger with Foamix Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (the "Merger"), including stock based compensation. Clinical trial and manufacturing expenses decreased with the completion of FCD105 and serlopitant clinical trials and the product launches of AMZEEQ and ZILXI during 2020.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2021 were $15.8 million, representing a decrease of $10.6 million, or 40.2%, compared to $26.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Employee-related expenses decreased by $8.5 million primarily due to severance costs incurred in 2020 due to the Merger. Professional services spend decreased as these expenses were incurred in 2020 as a result of the Merger.
Financial Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021
Revenues
Revenues totaled $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $13.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, our revenue consisted of $7.9 million of product sales and $0.5 million of royalty revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, revenues consisted of $3.2 million of product sales, $0.2 million of royalty revenue and $10.0 million of license revenue.
The increase in product sales is due to the ZILXI product launch in October 2020 and increase in demand for AMZEEQ. The decrease in license revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to license revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020 is due to the upfront cash payment received in 2020 under the licensing agreement with Cutia for the sale and marketing of our topical minocycline products in China.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold was $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in cost of goods sold is primarily due to an increase in sales volume.
Our gross margin percentage was 82% and 85% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively.
Research and Development Expenses
Our research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were $12.7 million, representing a decrease of $16.3 million, or 56.2%, compared to $29.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Employee-related expenses decreased $9.6 million primarily due to severance costs incurred in 2020 due to the Merger, including stock based compensation. Clinical trial and manufacturing expenses decreased with the completion of FCD105 and serlopitant clinical trials and the product launches of AMZEEQ and ZILXI during 2020.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were $32.5 million, representing a decrease of $19.4 million, or 37.4%, compared to $51.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Employee-related expenses decreased by $13.6 million primarily due to severance costs incurred in 2020 due to the Merger, including stock based compensation. Professional services spend decreased as these expenses were incurred in 2020 as a result of the Merger.
Cash & Cash Equivalents
As of June 30, 2021, VYNE had cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments of $104.0 million. As discussed above, subsequent to the end of the second quarter, on August 11, 2021, the Company paid its lenders approximately $36.5 million in respect of its outstanding indebtedness and the Credit Agreement was terminated. Following such prepayment and based on its plans to conduct a Phase 2b clinical trial for FMX114 (assuming positive results in the Phase 2a study) and progress both the topical and oral BETi programs into the clinic in 2022, the Company currently believes it has sufficient cash and cash equivalents to fund its operations through the end of the second quarter of 2022. This assumes that operating expenses will be significantly reduced in connection with the disposition of the minocycline franchise and projected clinical trial costs. This also excludes potential proceeds received from a sale or license of the minocycline franchise, business development transactions or financing transactions, which are all beyond the Company's control. See Note 1 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in VYNE's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 for additional discussion on liquidity.

Note Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company has provided certain non-GAAP financial information as additional information to measure operating performance, including, among others, Adjusted Total Operating Expenses, Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted Diluted Net Loss per Share and Adjusted EBITDA. The Company believes that its presentation of such non-GAAP measures provides useful information to management and investors regarding its financial condition and operations. Specifically, these measures exclude, among other things, share-based compensation. The Company does not believe that such expenses accurately reflect the Company's ongoing operations, and the Company does not expect to incur similar expenses in future periods. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures reported by other companies. The Company has provided required reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures elsewhere in the document.

About Bromodomain and Extra-Terminal Domain Inhibitors
BET proteins are key components of transcriptional processing for a wide range of proinflammatory and immunoregulatory genes.1 Inactivation of BET proteins such as BRD4 directly perturbs the biosynthesis of pro-inflammatory proteins that are implicated in a wide variety of immune-inflammatory/fibrotic and myeloproliferative neoplastic disorders. A topically applied BETi product has the possibility to positively impact diseases involving multiple, diverse inflammatory cell signaling pathways that are active in rare neutrophilic dermatoses. Furthermore, bromodomain 2 selective oral BET inhibitors may present as convenient, non-biologic treatment options for both acute control and chronic management of immuno-inflammatory indications, where the damaging effects of unrestricted inflammatory signaling activity is common.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following tables reconcile non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release or that may be presented on the Company's conference call with analysts and investors. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide management, analysts, investors and other users of the Company's financial information with meaningful supplemental information regarding the performance of the Company's business. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to, but rather in addition to, other financial measures prepared by the Company in accordance with GAAP, including the year-to-year results. The Company's method of determining these non-GAAP financial measures may be different from other companies' methods and, therefore, may not be comparable to those used by other companies, and the Company does not recommend the sole use of these non-GAAP measures to assess its financial and earnings performance. For reasons noted above, the Company is presenting certain non-GAAP financial measures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020. In order for investors to be able to more easily compare the Company's performance across periods, the Company has included comparable reconciliations for the 2020 period in the reconciliation tables below.
