SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 10, 2022 / Jaguar Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAGX) (“Jaguar” or the “Company”) today provided company updates and reported consolidated first quarter 2022 financial results.
Mytesi net revenue was approximately $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2022, representing an increase of approximately 24% over Mytesi net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2021, which totaled approximately $2.1 million, and an increase of approximately 112% over Mytesi net revenue in the first quarter of 2021, which totaled approximately $1.2 million.
“These increases in Mytesi revenue largely represent the important and continuing realization of the benefits - from both a financial perspective and the standpoint of improved patient access - from the shift Jaguar completed this past January to distributing Mytesi through a closed network of specialty pharmacies (rather than to wholesalers that resell the product to retail pharmacies). I am also pleased to announce that Canalevia-CA1 (crofelemer), our prescription product for chemotherapy-induced diarrhea (CID) in dogs, is now commercially available,” said Lisa Conte, Jaguar’s president and CEO. “Regarding future commercial opportunities, Jaguar is focused on two important crofelemer pipeline development activities in the next 12-15 months that are expected to be value-creating: the completion of enrollment for our Phase 3 pivotal OnTarget trial of our core follow-on indication for crofelemer’s novel mechanism of action, prophylaxis of cancer therapy-related diarrhea (CTD) in humans; and the completion in 2022 and 2023 of investigator-initiated proof-of-concept studies of crofelemer for short bowel syndrome (SBS) and congenital diarrheal disorders (CDD), supporting the potential for expanded patient access through programs in Europe in 2023 for these devastating and catastrophic diseases and health situations for these patients, who are often on parenteral nutrition for as long as 20 hours a day, seven days a week.”
2022 MILESTONES, UPDATES & ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
“We look forward to 2022 continuing to be an exciting year, with continued development initiatives for crofelemer - our ‘pipeline within a product'; continuing efforts to forge license and business development relationships, such as the recently completed license and distribution deal with Quadri Pharma for the MENA region; our ongoing Canalevia-CA1 launch, and potential expansion of Canalevia conditional approval to exercise-induced diarrhea (EID) in dogs; and continued growth in sales of Mytesi, with the successful completion of the shift to our specialty pharmacies distribution and continued educational and promotional activities in 2022, including the recent launch of our telehealth initiative. Most importantly, we are pleased with the realization of our mission of providing relief with a novel, plant-based, first-in-class mechanism of action to patients in need - including patients for whom no alternative therapeutic options exist,” Conte said.
- Phase 3 clinical trial of crofelemer for cancer therapy-related diarrhea (CTD) in humans: The pivotal OnTarget Phase 3 clinical trial of crofelemer for prophylaxis of CTD was initiated in October 2020 and is ongoing. The Company is in the process of adding additional clinical trial sites - both in the US and outside the US - to accelerate patient enrollment. Further details about the trial can be viewed here on the clinicaltrials.gov website. A significant proportion of patients undergoing cancer therapy experience diarrhea, and diarrhea has the potential to cause dehydration, potential infections, and non-adherence to treatment in this patient population. Patients with CTD are 40% more likely to discontinue their chemotherapy or targeted therapy than patients without CTD,1 and the cost of care of CTD patients is estimated to be 2.9 times higher than for patients who are not experiencing CTD.2
- 2022 & 2023 Milestones: Completion of investigator-initiated proof-of-concept studies of crofelemer for short bowel syndrome (SBS) and congenital diarrheal disorders (CDD) with intestinal failure: Napo Therapeutics is supporting planned investigator-initiated studies of crofelemer in patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS) or congenital diarrheal disorders (CDD) with intestinal failure, with a planned primary endpoint of reduction of weekly volume of parenteral nutrition. On December 13, 2021, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) granted orphan-drug designation (ODD) for crofelemer for SBS in the European Union, and crofelemer has received ODD in the U.S. for SBS. The EMA is committed to enabling early patient access to new medicines, particularly those that target an unmet medical need, and ODD status in the EU is expected to support Napo Therapeutics’ plans to make crofelemer available through Early Access Programs in the EU for SBS. Participation in Early Access Programs provides a potential opportunity for meaningful revenue generation in addition to the ability to impact important morbidity, mortality, and the cost of care for chronically ill patients for whom no good therapeutic options exist. SBS affects approximately 10,000 to 20,000 people in the U.S.,3 according to the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation, and it is estimated that the population of SBS patients in Europe is approximately the same size.4 Despite limited treatment options, the global SBS market exceeded $568 million in 2019 and is expected to reach $4.6 billion by 2027, according to a report by Vision Research Reports.
- Mid-2022 Milestone: Filing of an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the FDA for NP-300 (lechlemer) in support of the initiation of a Phase 1 lechlemer study in 2H 2022 for the symptomatic relief of diarrhea from cholera: Lechlemer is the company’s drug product candidate for symptomatic relief of diarrhea from cholera. It is a standardized and proprietary botanical drug product that is sustainably derived from the same source as crofelemer - the Croton lechleri tree, and works by the same mechanism of action as crofelemer. In support of the planned IND application filing for lechlemer, the Company received comprehensive animal toxicity preclinical services supported by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for four preclinical studies. The Company intends to pursue a tropical disease priority review voucher under the FDA’s financial incentive program to develop drugs for tropical diseases such as cholera. Priority review vouchers are transferable, and in past transactions by other companies have sold for prices ranging from $67 million to $350 million, which provides for a potential immediate return on investment upon approval of the product for the symptomatic relief of diarrhea from cholera.
- 2022: Jaguar’s Year of the Dog: Launch activities remain underway for Canalevia-CA1 in the U.S. veterinary market for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced diarrhea (CID) in dogs. Canalevia-CA1 was the focus of Jaguar Animal Health’s exhibit booth at April’s Veterinary Cancer Society Mid-Year Conference in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and the Company also held a well-attended dinner event for veterinary oncologists about CID in dogs at this conference. Jaguar Animal Health will be exhibiting at the June 23-25, 2022 American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM) Forum in Austin, Texas. Dogs, as with humans, go off their disease modifying chemotherapy approximately 40% of the time due to diarrhea, and dogs are a predictive model of the human situation. As announced, Jaguar expects that Canalevia could additionally receive FDA conditional approval, under the name Canalevia®-CA2, for the treatment of exercise-induced diarrhea (EID) in dogs in the fourth quarter of 2022.
- SAVE THE DATE! Special media event and performance in New York City on Monday, May 23rd from 12:30 to 2:30 PM Eastern to celebrate the launch of the Jaguar Health Canine Cancer: Take C.H.A.R.G.E. initiative. “C.H.A.R.G.E.” is an acronym for Canine Health And ReGistry Exchange. The goal is to establish the first-ever U.S. canine cancer national registry and cancer care index to assess the prevalence and incidence of cancer in dogs. The mission is important, because protecting dogs from cancer begins with knowing its impact by breed, type, age, gender, and location. Data will be revealed at the event from the first nationwide Gallup survey of pet owners addressing their experience with canine cancer, as well as the registry itself that is based on the analysis of thousands of canine medical records. The data may also provide insights to help better understand cancer in humans and the importance of managing side effects in human cancer therapy.
Ongoing business development initiatives in 2022:
- Ongoing management of the Company’s relationship with Quadri Pharmaceuticals Store LLC (Quadri Pharma) following the execution on March 31, 2022 of an exclusive crofelemer distribution and license agreement with Quadri Pharma for multiple target indications in Middle East markets. As announced, the agreement grants Quadri Pharma exclusive promotional, commercialization, and distribution rights for specified human indications of crofelemer in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman following regulatory approval to market crofelemer in these countries for the specified indications, including the indication currently approved in the U.S. for HIV-related diarrhea, and cancer therapy-related diarrhea. In addition, the agreement grants Quadri Pharma exclusive rights to distribute crofelemer in these countries in the immediate future under Named Patient Programs.
- Jaguar is continuing efforts to forge additional license and business development relationships in key markets around the globe.
Updates about recent and currently active investigator-initiated trials of crofelemer:
- Investigator-initiated HALT-D trial evaluating crofelemer for preventing chemotherapy-induced diarrhea (CID) in HER2-positive breast cancer patients: The full results of this study, which was presented at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS 2021) in December 2021, are expected to be submitted to a medical journal in 2022 for consideration for publication.
- Chronic idiopathic diarrhea in non-HIV adult patients
- Study Name: Yield of Diagnostic Tests and Management of Crofelemer for Chronic Idiopathic Diarrhea in Non-HIV Patients: A Pilot Study
- Location: University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston
- Functional diarrhea in non-HIV adult patients
- Study Name: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of crofelemer in subjects with functional diarrhea
- Location: Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, a Harvard Medical School institution in Boston
2022 FIRST QUARTER COMPANY FINANCIAL RESULTS:
Mytesi net revenue was approximately $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2022, representing an increase of approximately 24% over Mytesi net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2021, which totaled approximately $2.1 million, and an increase of approximately 112% over Mytesi net revenue in the first quarter of 2021, which totaled approximately $1.2 million.
“Mytesi total prescription volume, the metric we believe to be the best indicator of patient demand, increased 14.6% in the first quarter of 2022 over the fourth quarter of 2021,” said Ian Wendt, Jaguar’s Chief Commercial Officer. “As previously announced, the transition to a closed network of specialty pharmacies has resulted in a meaningful reduction in Mytesi distribution costs as well as a higher average net price and assists in the preparation of the Company’s U.S. commercial distribution network for potential future indication expansion of crofelemer to other populations of patients with complex medical needs, such as CTD and SBS. This transition has also allowed us to begin utilizing sales and prescription data directly provided by our network of specialty pharmacies to more accurately track prescription volume, rather than relying on a third-party provider of estimated data for this important performance metric.”
The Company believes the availability of Mytesi through specialty pharmacies represents a significant benefit to patients, as such pharmacies focus on complex and chronic conditions and offer a higher level of support for prior authorizations, appeals, adherence counseling, and home delivery options.
- Mytesi Prescription Volume: As stated above, Mytesi prescription volume, the metric the Company believes to be the best indicator of growth in patient demand, increased 14.6% in the first quarter of 2022 over the fourth quarter of 2021. 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.
- Mytesi Net Product Revenue: Mytesi net revenue during the first quarter of 2022 was approximately $2.6 million and approximately $2.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, an increase of approximately $0.5 million, or approximately 24%, quarter over quarter, and an increase of approximately 112% over Mytesi net revenue in the first quarter of 2021, which totaled approximately $1.2 million. The transition to a closed network of specialty pharmacies, which was completed this past January, resulted in a meaningful reduction in Mytesi distribution costs and a higher average net price. As part of the process of transitioning to the closed specialty pharmacy network, the third and fourth quarters of 2021 were significantly impacted by the inventory draw-down of approximately 1,300 bottles of Mytesi across the Company’s third-party logistics warehouse, wholesalers, distributors, and retail stores.
- Mytesi Gross Product Revenue (Non-GAAP): Mytesi gross revenue was approximately $3.4 million in the first quarter of 2022 and $3.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, representing an increase of approximately $0.4 million or 13.4% quarter over quarter, and a decrease of approximately 25.5% over Mytesi gross revenue in the first quarter of 2021, which totaled approximately $4.6 million. The increase in Mytesi gross revenue in the first quarter of 2022 over the fourth quarter of 2021 is due largely to the fact that infrastructure required to complete the transition to a closed network of specialty pharmacies was not fully in place in the fourth quarter of 2021, and the loosening of Covid-related travel restrictions in the first quarter of 2022 - which allowed Mytesi sales personnel to visit more healthcare providers. The decrease in Mytesi gross revenue in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same quarter in the prior year was due to the process of transitioning to distributing Mytesi through a closed network of specialty pharmacies instead of through wholesalers that resell the product to retail pharmacies.
- Neonorm™: Revenues for the non-prescription Neonorm products and Jaguar’s Animal Health business unit were minimal for the first quarters of 2022 and 2021, in accordance with the Company’s primary focus on human health and prescription products.

- Cost of Product Revenue: Total cost of product revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was $0.5 million compared to $0.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, representing a $0.1 million decrease over the first quarter of 2021. This decrease in cost of product revenue was largely due to the decrease in distribution costs and channel rebate/discounts that resulted from the shift to the specialty pharmacies distribution model.
- Research and Development: The R&D expense was $4.9 million for the first quarter of 2022 compared to $2.4 million for the first quarter of 2021, an increase of $2.5 million quarter over quarter. Clinical and contract manufacturing increased approximately $0.8 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 due largely to increased clinical trial activities related to the Company’s OnTarget Phase 3 clinical trial of crofelemer for prophylaxis of cancer therapy-related diarrhea (CTD) as well as development efforts for other indications, additional CMC manufacturing, expenses related to consulting and contractors, and cholera/lechlemer-related research expenses. In addition, personnel and related benefits increased to $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 due to an increase in headcount beginning in 2021 and other compensation. Non-cash stock-based compensation expense increased $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021, primarily due to the issuance of new options and the granting of restricted stock units.
- Sales and Marketing: The Sales and Marketing expense was $2.8 million for the first quarter of 2022 compared to $2.1 million for the first quarter of 2021, an increase of approximately $0.7 million quarter over quarter. The increase in Sales and Marketing expense was largely due to an increase in marketing programs of $0.2 million related to the Company’s transition to selling Mytesi through a closed network of specialty pharmacies, an increase of $0.3 in personnel and related benefits due to an increase in compensation including commissions, and an increase of approximately $0.2 million in travel due to loosening of Covid-related travel restrictions.
- General and Administrative: The G&A expense was $6.1 million for the first quarter of 2022 compared to $3.4 million for the first quarter of 2021, an increase of $2.7 million quarter over quarter. The increase in G&A expenses was largely due to an increase of $1.2 million in personnel and related benefits due to increased compensation, an increase in public company expense of $0.6 million due to investor relations activities, an increase in corporate-related activities of $0.6 million, an increase of $0.1 million in travel expenses due to loosening of Covid-related travel restrictions, an increase in consulting, rent, and legal expenses, and an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation of $0.2 million due to continued vesting of option grants. These expenses were offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in audit and accounting services due to the transition to a new accounting firm and fewer complex transactions.
- Loss from Operations: For the first quarter of 2022, the loss from operations was $11.8 million compared to a loss of $8.8 million in the first quarter of 2021, an increase of $3.0 million quarter over quarter.
- Net Loss: For the first quarter of 2022, the net loss attributable to common shareholders was approximately $18.0 million, compared to a net loss of $12.0 million in the first quarter of 2021, an increase of approximately $6.0 million quarter over quarter. In addition to the loss from operations:
- Interest expense increased by $2.3 million from $1.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $4.2 million for the same period in 2022 primarily due to interest from the royalty and note agreements.
- The increase in the loss on extinguishment of debt from $753,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $2.8 million in the same period in 2022 is due to the $2.8 million extinguishment loss from the exchange of the outstanding balance of one of the royalty agreements for shares of the Company’s common stock.
- Change in fair value of financial instruments and hybrid instruments designated at fair value option (FVO) losses decreased $0.4 million from a loss of $0.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $0.2 million for the same period in 2022 designated at FVO.
- Other income increased by $0.8 million from $10,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $0.8 million for the same period in 2022 due to the foreign currency transactions.
- Non-GAAP EBITDA: Non-GAAP EBITDA for the first quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2021 was a net loss of $9.4 million and $6.8 million, respectively.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Measures
The Company supplements its condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis by providing gross sales, 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.
Gross sales percentages issued by the Company are based on gross sales figures that represent Mytesi orders placed by select Specialty Pharmacies with Jaguar’s third-party logistics warehouse, less allowances for rebates and discounts, which generate the cash flows for Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Napo”), Jaguar’s wholly owned subsidiary. Gross sales are used internally by management as an indicator of and to monitor operating performance, including sales performance of Mytesi, salesperson performance, and product growth or declines. Gross sales are not a measure that is recognized under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and should not be considered as an alternative to net sales, which is determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be used alone as an indicator of operating performance in place of net sales. Additionally, gross sales may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, as gross sales have been defined by the Company’s internal reporting practices. In addition, gross sales may not be realized in the form of cash receipts as promotional payments and allowances may be deducted from payments received from certain customers. Mytesi gross sales are reduced by specialty pharmacy discounts, Medicare rebates, Medicaid rebates, 340B discounts, ADAP rebates, VA rebates, copay program costs, prompt pay discounts, and returns based on historical trends to determine net sales.
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.
