BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J., March 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CorMedix Inc. (Nasdaq: CRMD), a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing therapeutic products for life-threatening diseases and conditions, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024 and provided an update on its business.

Recent Corporate Highlights:

   -- CorMedix today reports its second full quarter of DefenCath sales since 
      commencing outpatient launch in July 2024 and first partial year of 
      DefenCath sales. The Company reported net sales of $31.2 million for the 
      fourth quarter and $43.5 million for full year 2024, largely driven by 
      successful implementation by its outpatient dialysis customers. 
 
   -- The Company's fourth quarter of 2024 was the first profitable commercial 
      quarter in CorMedix history, with net income of $13.5 million and 
      adjusted EBITDA of $15.3 million. 
 
   -- The Company previously announced a partnership with Syneos Health to 
      build a dedicated inpatient sales team. The staffing of this team is 
      nearly complete and the Company expects the team to initiate activity in 
      the early part of the second quarter. CorMedix has started to see 
      increased DefenCath utilization at a number of larger hospitals and 
      anticipates further inpatient growth throughout 2025 as the new field 
      team commences activity. 
 
   -- CorMedix previously announced a partnership with WSI to provide marketing 
      and promotional support for DefenCath to VA facilities and this team has 
      commenced activities in the first quarter. 
 
   -- CorMedix began identifying investigator sites for its Phase 3 study of 
      DefenCath in patients receiving Total Parenteral Nutrition, or TPN, and 
      expects patient enrollment to commence in the second quarter of 2025. In 
      addition, the Company recently submitted an application for Orphan Drug 
      Status for this indication to the FDA. 
 
   -- CorMedix is announcing preliminary net revenue guidance for first half of 
      2025 of $50 -- $60 million, based on the run rate of current purchasing 
      customers, with more than $33 million expected in first quarter. In 
      addition, the Company reiterates its previously announced cash operating 
      expense guidance for 2025 of $72 -- $78 million. 
 
   -- Cash and short-term investments, excluding restricted cash, at December 
      31, 2024 amounted to $51.7 million. The Company currently anticipates 
      ending first quarter of 2025 with more than $75 million in cash and 
      short-term investments. 

Joe Todisco, CorMedix CEO, commented, "I am proud of the Company's recent progress as we execute on our launch objectives and increase patient access to DefenCath across settings of care. We have seen continued growth from existing customers throughout the first quarter and we are focused on growing our patient base in 2025 with both existing and new accounts."

4(th) Quarter and Full Year 2024 Financial Highlights

For the fourth quarter of 2024, CorMedix recorded $31.2 million in net revenue from sales of DefenCath, and recorded net income of $13.5 million, or $0.22 per share, compared with a net loss of $14.8 million, or $0.26 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2023. The net income was driven primarily by the launch of DefenCath and net sales in the period.

Operating expenses in the fourth quarter 2024 were $17.1 million, compared with $15.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, an increase of approximately 9%. The increase was driven primarily by higher general and administrative (G&A) expenses, which increased approximately 36% and to a lesser extent by an increase in selling and marketing (S&M), which increased approximately 1%. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in research and development (R&D) expenses of approximately 26%. The increases in S&M and G&A were primarily driven by new personnel hired in late 2023 or throughout 2024, inclusive of our sales force and support for the commercial launch of DefenCath during 2024. Additionally, as a result of the transition to commercial operations, certain medical affairs, other personnel and consulting expenses previously classified in R&D are included in G&A expense in 2024.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, CorMedix recorded $43.5 million in net revenue from sales of DefenCath, and recorded a net loss of $17.9 million, or $0.30 per share, compared with a net loss during the year ended December 31, 2023 of $46.3 million, or $0.91 per share. The decrease in net loss was driven primarily by DefenCath net revenue, offset by an increase in operating expenses, primarily due to increased commercial activities for DefenCath.

Operating expenses during the year ended December 31, 2024 amounted to $62.6 million compared with $49.0 million during 2023, an increase of $13.6 million, or 28%. The increase was primarily due to costs related to marketing and commercial activities in support of the launch of DefenCath, partially offset by a decrease in R&D expenses, attributable to the marketing approval of DefenCath.

Total cash on hand, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of December 31, 2024 amounted to $51.7 million, excluding restricted cash of $0.1 million. The Company believes that it has sufficient resources to fund operations for at least twelve months from the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K.
