Insight on FBIO’s performance
Fortress Bio is a pharmacological research organization with 28 drug candidates in different phases of development, varying from preclinical to Phase 3 trials. Fortress has six licensed drugs on the market for a range of dermatological disorders, including acne, skin fungal infections, burns, and other surface wounds, in addition to its pipeline.
Journey Medical, Fortress’s partner company, is selling these drugs, which produced $44.5 million in revenue in 2020. This was a significant increase of 28 percent over the $34.9 million earned in 2019. Fortress had a healthy financial balance at the end of 2020, with $235 million in cash and cash equivalents. This was a $15 million increase from the previous quarter and a 53 percent increase year over year.
These positive results came despite the COVID pandemic affecting both supply and sales, according to Fortress Biotech. In 2021, Fortress anticipates adding two additional FDA-approved prescription drugs to its portfolio.
