Biofrontera Inc. Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results and Provides a Business Update

Conference call begins at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time today

WOBURN, Mass. (May 12, 2023) – Biofrontera Inc. (Nasdaq: BFRI) (the “Company”), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the commercialization of dermatologic products, today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and provided a business update.

Highlights from the first quarter of 2023 and subsequent weeks included the following:

Management Commentary

“Our sales team kicked off the year by producing record-high results in January and February, while quarterly sales growth is against a prior-year comparison that included considerable buy-in ahead of the April 2022 price increase. In fact, Ameluz tube volumes for the first quarter of 2023 exceeded any other first quarter that was not aided by a pending price increase, by at least 30%,” said Fred Leffler, Chief Financial Officer of Biofrontera Inc. “These metrics reflect the effective integration and mobilization of our recently bolstered sales force and give us confidence in affirming our full-year revenue expectations.”

“As we continue gaining market share for Ameluz-PDT, we look to a number of upcoming milestones from ongoing clinical trials to further expand the FDA label for Ameluz. These 2023 catalysts include reporting topline results from a three-tube study and completing enrollment in the Phase 3 extremities, neck and trunk clinical study and the Phase 3 basal cell carcinoma study,” he added.

First Quarter Financial Results

Total revenues for the first quarter of 2023 were $8.7 million compared with $9.8 million for the first quarter of 2022. The decrease is due to customer buy-in during the first quarter of 2022 prior to a planned price increase on April 1, 2022. The Company did not increase the price of Ameluz in 2023, and therefore did not see a similar buy-in effect from customers. First quarter 2023 revenues were 30% higher than any prior first quarter that did not benefit from a price increase.

Total operating expenses were $14.2 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared with $12.9 million for the first quarter of 2022. Cost of revenues was $4.6 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared with $5.2 million for the prior-year quarter, with the decline driven by lower Ameluz product revenue. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $9.8 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared with $7.7 million for the first quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher legal expenses resulting from a legal settlement in the first quarter.

The net loss for the first quarter of 2023 was $7.5 million, or $(0.28) per share, compared with net income of $5.6 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, for the prior-year quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2023 was negative $4.0 million compared with negative $2.4 million for the first quarter of 2022, reflecting lower revenues in the 2023 quarter. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income or loss excluding interest income and expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and certain other non-recurring or non-cash items.

The below table presents a reconciliation from net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarters of 2023 and 2022:

As of March 31, 2023, Biofrontera had cash and cash equivalents of $13.5 million compared with $17.2 million as of December 31, 2022. In addition, the Company had a $7.6 million investment in shares of Biofrontera AG as of March 31, 2023, and recently entered a $6.5 million secured line of credit. The Company believes its cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to fund operations for at least the next 12 months. Based on current operating plans and financial forecasts, we expect that our revolving line of credit and expected proceeds from the sale of our investment in Biofrontera AG in addition to our current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance of our financial statements. However, we expect to have to obtain either equity or additional debt financing to support our future long-term growth and to mitigate the risk of our operating costs significantly exceeding the amounts currently estimated.

Financial Expectations

Biofrontera Inc. affirms its previously announced expectations for full-year 2023 growth in revenue to be at least 25% compared with 2022 and expects to be cash flow positive within approximately two years.

Conference Call and Webcast

Biofrontera Inc. will hold a conference call today at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time to discuss these results and answer questions.
