research collaborations with wound industry leaders

Conference call on Wednesday, August 16 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time
YAVNE, Israel, August 15, 2023 -- MediWound Ltd. (Nasdaq: MDWD), the global leader in next-generation enzymatic therapeutics for tissue repair, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended
June 30, 2023, and provided a corporate update.
"We have achieved significant progress this quarter on many levels," stated Ofer Gonen, CEO of MediWound. "Our EscharEx Phase III study protocol is aligned with feedback from
both FDA and EMA, and patient enrollment is planned for early 2024. Executing multiple collaborations on our EscharEx program with leading wound care companies, underscores the growing interest in this potential game-changing treatment and our
commitment to maximize the likelihood of a successful study outcome.” Mr. Gonen added, “We dispatched initial batches of NexoBrid to both Japan and the U.S., with commercial availability already underway in Japan. Furthermore, our new manufacturing
facility, set to be active by mid-2024, will increase our production capabilities to meet the rising global demand."
Second Quarter 2023 Highlights and Recent Developments:
|
• |
Shipped NexoBrid finished product to Vericel for the U.S. commercial launch in June 2023. However, Vericel is unable to commercially release the product at this time due to a deviation associated with a third-party testing lab used during
the manufacturing process. MediWound and Vericel are actively engaged with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to address this matter. Future production lots will not be impacted by this process deviation issue. Vericel expects to
begin commercial sales of NexoBrid from a scheduled September 2023 production run, during the first quarter of 2024. MediWound believes that a possible delay in the U.S. launch, will not have an impact on NexoBrid revenues for the years
2023-2024.
|
|
• |
Received positive scientific advice from the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) within the European Medicine Agency (EMA) for the development of EscharEx. This advice aligns with feedback from the FDA, providing a clear
path forward for the Company’s global Phase III study in patients with venous leg ulcers (VLUs). The Company is in the process of qualifying study sites, selecting vendors (including CRO, data management, and central labs), and producing
final batches of EscharEx for the clinical study. These activities are to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2023, with patient enrollment in the Phase III study expected to begin in early 2024.
|
|
• |
Secured research and development collaborations with leading wound care companies, MIMEDX and Mölnlycke, to advance the EscharEx Phase III clinical study. MediWound is actively engaged with additional prominent companies to explore further
collaboration opportunities.
|
|
• |
Awarded an additional $10 million in funding from BARDA to support NexoBrid’s $3 million replenishment, the pediatric indication sBLA submission, and the enrollment of an additional 50 patients in the expanded access treatment protocol
(NEXT).
|
|
• |
Signed a turnkey scale-up agreement to bolster the Company’s manufacturing infrastructure supporting its long-term growth trajectory. The Company will establish, commission, and validate a cutting-edge, sterile, and GMP-compliant
manufacturing facility to significantly increase the Company’s current production capacity. An estimated $12 million will be invested in this new state-of-the-art facility, which is projected to be completed by mid-2024, with full-scale
manufacturing expected to commence in 2025.
|
|
• |
Announced commercial launch of NexoBrid in Japan for the treatment of deep partial thickness and full thickness burns in adults and pediatric patients with the Company’s strategic partner, Kaken Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., a top ranked
Japanese pharmaceutical company.
|
|
• |
Reported positive data from its Phase I/II study of MW005 in low-risk basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Results showed MW005 to be safe and well-tolerated, with eleven of the fifteen patients enrolled achieving complete clearance of their BCCs,
with a majority of the patients also having histologically confirmed complete clearance.
|
|
• |
Appointed Mr. Shmuel (Milky) Rubinstein as an independent director to the Company’s Board of Directors. With a distinguished record of pharmaceutical and biotechnology leadership, Mr. Rubinstein previously held the position of CEO at
Taro Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: TARO), which subsequently was acquired by Sun Pharmaceuticals. He currently holds the title of Chairperson of the Board at Trima Pharma and is a board member at Strata Skin Sciences (Nasdaq: SSKN), Medison
Biotech, and Keystone Dental. Mr. Rubinstein will become a MediWound Board member, following the tenure of Mr. Assaf Segal, who stepped down from the MediWound Board of Directors.

Cash and short-term deposits of $51.3 million as of June 30, 2023.

|
o |
Research and development expenses in the second quarter 2023 were $2.0 million compared to $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2022.
|
|
o |
Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the second quarter 2023 were $3.1 million, compared to $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2022. This increase is primarily attributed to the addition of
several full-time employees to bolster future growth, along with greater share-based compensation expenses.

|
• |
Revenues: Total revenues in the first half of 2023 were $8.6 million, compared to $9.1 million in the first half of 2022. The decline in revenues is primarily a result of the sales to BARDA's emergency
stockpile procurement in 2022.
|
|
• |
Operating Results: Operating loss in the first half of 2023 was $8.4 million, up from the $7.0 million loss in the first half of 2022. This increase is primarily attributed to the addition of several full-time employees to bolster future growth, along
with greater share-based compensation expenses.
|
|
• |
Net Loss: Net loss in the first half of 2023 was $2.8 million, or $0.32 per share, compared to a net loss of $7.9 million or $1.79 per share in the first half of 2022. This decrease is primarily attributed to a favorable adjustment
from the revaluation of warrants.
|
|
• |
Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA in the first half of 2023, as further detailed below, was a loss of $6.4 million, compared to a $5.4 million loss in the first half of 2022.
|
As of June 30, 2023, the Company's cash and short-term deposits were $51.3 million, compared to $34.1 million reported on December 31, 2022. In the first quarter of 2023 the
Company raised a gross amount of $27.5 million through a registered direct offering. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company used $6.0 million to fund its operating activities. Existing cash and cash equivalents are expected to provide
sufficient funds for the Company’s current operating plan through profitability.

results and answer questions. Shareholders and other interested parties may participate in the conference call by dialing 1-833-630-1956 (in the U.S.), 1-80-921-2373 (Israel), or 1-412-317-1837 (outside the U.S. & Israel). The call will be

Non-IFRS Financial Measures
To supplement consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS, the Company has provided a supplementary non-IFRS measure to consider in evaluating the Company's
performance. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, which it defines as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, impairment, one-time expenses, restructuring and share-based compensation expenses.
Although Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with IFRS, we believe the non-IFRS financial measures we
present provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating results primarily because they exclude certain non-cash charges or items that we do not believe are reflective of our ongoing operating results when budgeting, planning and
forecasting and determining compensation, and when assessing the performance of our business with our senior management.
However, investors should not consider these measures in isolation or as substitutes for operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any
other measure for determining the Company's operating performance or liquidity that is calculated in accordance with IFRS. In addition, because Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated in accordance with IFRS, it may not necessarily be comparable to
similarly titled measures employed by other companies. The non-IFRS measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the IFRS results in the tables below.
MediWound Ltd. (Nasdaq: MDWD) is the global leader in next-generation enzymatic therapeutics focused on non-surgical tissue repair. Specializing in the development, production and commercialization
of solutions that seek to replace existing standards of care. The Company is committed to providing rapid and effective biologics that improve patient experiences and outcomes, while reducing costs and unnecessary surgeries.
MediWound’s first drug, NexoBrid®, is an FDA-approved orphan biologic for eschar removal in severe burns that can replace surgical
interventions and minimize associated costs and complications. Utilizing the same core biotherapeutic enzymatic platform technology, MediWound has developed a strong R&D pipeline including the Company’s lead drug under development, EscharEx®.
EscharEx is a Phase III biologic for debridement of chronic wounds with significant advantages over the $300 million monopoly legacy drug and an opportunity to expand the market. MediWound’s pipeline also includes MW005, a topical therapeutic for
the treatment of basal cell carcinoma that has demonstrated positive results in a recently completed Phase I/II study.

a. |
Description of the Company and its operations:
MediWound Ltd. Was incorporated in Israel. The Company which is located in Yavne, Israel (The "Company" or "MediWound"), is biopharmaceutical company that develops, manufactures and commercializes novel, cost effective, bio-therapeutic, non-surgical solutions for tissue repair and regeneration. The Company’s strategy leverages its breakthrough enzymatic technology platform into diversified portfolio of biotherapeutics across multiple indications to pioneer solutions for unmet medical needs. The Company’s current portfolio is focused on next-generation protein-based therapies for burn care, wound care and tissue repair.
The Company's first innovative biopharmaceutical product, NexoBrid, has received in December 2022, an approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and marketing approval in each of India, Switzerland and Japan. In addition it has a marketing authorization from the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) and regulatory agencies in other international markets for removal of dead or damaged tissue, known as eschar, in adults with deep partial and full thickness thermal burns.
The Company commercialize NexoBrid globally through multiple sales channels.
|
|
• |
The Company sell NexoBrid to burn centers in the European Union, United Kingdom and Israel, primarily through its commercial organizations.
|
|
• |
The Company have established local distribution channels in multiple international markets, focusing on Asia Pacific, EMEA, CEE and LATAM, which local distributors are also responsible for obtaining local marketing authorization within the relevant territories.
|
|
• |
In the United States, the Company entered into exclusive license and supply agreements with Vericel Corporation (“Vericel”) to commercialize NexoBrid in North America upon FDA approval.
|
|
|
The Company’s second investigational next-generation enzymatic therapy product, EscharEx, a topical biological drug being developed for debridement of chronic and other hard-to-heal wounds, is currently under discussions with the FDA regarding the pivotal Phase 3 study design.
The third clinical-stage innovative product candidate, MW005, is a topical applied biological drug candidate for the treatment of non-melanoma skin cancers. A U.S. phase 1/2 study of MW005 for the treatment of low-risk basal cell carcinoma (BCC) was initiated in July 2021, and an investigator-initiated phase II trial of MW005 in non-melanoma skin cancer is being conducted in parallel in Israel. In December 2022, the Company announced final positive results from the study. Based on the positive results, The Company plan to continue enrolling patients in its Phase 1/2 study.
|
|
b. |
The Company's securities are listed for trading on NASDAQ since March 2014.
|
|
c. |
The Company has three wholly owned subsidiaries: MediWound Germany GmbH, acting as Europe (“EU”) marketing authorization holder and EU sales and marketing arm, and MediWound UK Limited and MediWound US, Inc. which are currently inactive companies.
|
|
d. |
The Company awarded two contracts with the U.S. Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority ("BARDA") valued at up to $209,000 for the advancement of the development, manufacturing and emergency readiness for NexoBrid deployment as well as the procurement of NexoBrid as a medical countermeasure as part of BARDA preparedness for mass casualty events.
|
On May 9, 2023 BARDA has awarded an additional $10,000 to the Company. The supplemental funding will support $7,000 R&D activities and $3,000 replenishment of expired product previously procured for emergency preparedness, the pediatric indication sBLA submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and enrollment of an additional 50 patients in the ongoing expanded access treatment protocol (NEXT).
|
e. |
Our Partner, Vericel Corporation Inc. (“Vericel”) has received the first lot of NexoBrid® finished product from the company for the U.S. commercial market in June 2023, which currently is warehoused at Vericel’s third-party logistics distributor. Although this NexoBrid finished product batch has met all required release criteria for distribution in the U.S., Vericel is unable to release this product into the commercial channel at this time due to a deviation associated with a third-party testing lab used during the manufacturing process. A detailed risk assessment prepared by the Company and Vericel has concluded that the deviation presents no incremental risk to the finished product’s quality and safety, and the company actively engaged with Vericel and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to address this matter. Future manufacturing of NexoBrid drug product for the U.S. market will not be impacted because the at-issue test will be conducted directly by the Company. As the FDA has not yet authorized the commercial release of the finished product affected by the deviation, the company is currently preparing for a production campaign scheduled to begin in September 2023.
|
|
f. |
In 2022 the Company engaged with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), through the Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (MTEC), for a $1,800 contract for the development of NexoBrid as a non-surgical solution for field-care burn treatment for the U.S. Army. This contract was amended in April 2023 to extend the total value, up to a total amount of $2,700.
