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.

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.

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.” 4th 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.

Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresThis release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, which are intended as supplemental measures of the Company’s performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. Management uses these non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate and manage the Company’s operations and to better understand its business because they facilitate a comparative assessment of the Company’s operating performance relative to its performance based on results calculated under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures also isolate the effects of some items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance and eliminate certain charges that management believes do not reflect the Company’s operations and underlying operational performance. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures also provide useful information to investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and operating results and facilitate an evaluation of the financial performance of the Company and its operations on a consistent basis. Providing this information therefore allows investors to make independent assessments of the Company’s financial performance, results of operations and trends while viewing the information through the eyes of management. These non-GAAP measures are subject to limitations. The non-GAAP measures presented in this release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies because other companies may not calculate one or more in the same manner. Additionally, the non-GAAP performance measures exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s financial statements; do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs. Further, our historical adjusted results are not intended to project our adjusted results of operations or financial position for any future period. To compensate for these limitations, management presents and considers these non-GAAP measures in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP results; no non-GAAP measure should be considered in isolation from or as alternatives to any measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Readers should review the reconciliations included below, and should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business.
