Third Quarter 2021 Results – How was the quarter?

CRMD announced third quarter 2021 results on 9th November 2021. The company reported that they have lost $8.6 million in the third quarter of 2021. The increased net loss in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the third quarter of 2020 was attributable to a net increase in costs associated with DefenCath manufacture prior to prospective marketing approval.

Moreover, the operating expenses grew by about 30% to $8.6 million and R&D expenses increased by 62 percent to $4.7 million. Furthermore, the SG&A expenses increased by almost 4% to $3.8 million. This rise was primarily driven by increases in non-cash stock-based compensation and staff expenses, which were partially offset by savings in market research study costs and consultancy fees in preparation for DefenCath’s potential marketing approval.

So what?

CRMD is happy to report that manufacturing at the CMO has resumed. Not only this but catheter-related bloodstream infections are widespread in patients undergoing hemodialysis using central venous catheters, as recent industry conference presentations have emphasized, and they are linked with considerable morbidity and mortality. Last but not the least, as they work to bring DefenCath to market once it has been approved, they remain committed to the commitment to these patients.
