McFarlane, Chief Executive Officer. “While we expect some short-term challenges as we progress through 2020, we continue to optimize the opportunity for GOCOVRI and position Adamas for long-term growth. Our focus remains on the patients who rely on us, while ensuring the health and safety of our employees, their families, and our business partners. ”

Financial results
Product sales
GOCOVRI product sales were $14.5 million for the first quarter of 2020, up 24% compared to $11.7 million in the same period in 2019. Gross-to-net in both periods reflect annual insurance plan resets, including the Medicare Part D coverage gap.
Research and Development (R&D) expenses
R&D expenses for the first quarter of 2020 were $2.5 million, compared to $10.2 million for the same period in the prior year. R&D expenses in the first quarter of 2020 substantially relate to the continued clinical development and evaluation of the ADS-5102 program. The decrease in R&D expenses from the prior year quarter was primarily due to the completion of the Phase 3 INROADS trial for the treatment of multiple sclerosis patients with walking impairment at the end of 2019.


Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses
SG&A expenses for the first quarter of 2020 were $24.6 million, compared to $27.7 million for the same period in the prior year. SG&A expenses in the first quarter of 2020 were primarily attributable to sales force costs and external spend dedicated to GOCOVRI commercialization and the related administrative support. The moderate decrease from prior year quarter was primarily attributable to fluctuations in administrative costs.
Net loss
Net loss was $16.6 million, or $0.59 per share, basic and diluted, for the first quarter of 2020, compared to a net loss of $29.7 million, or $1.08 per share, basic and diluted, for the first quarter of 2019. Net loss for the first quarters of 2020 and 2019 included $1.5 million and $3.4 million, respectively, in non-cash stock-based compensation expense.
Cash and investments
As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $115.3 million of cash, cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities, compared to $132.6 million at December 31, 2019.
Full year 2020 expense guidance

About GOCOVRI®
GOCOVRI® (amantadine) extended release capsules is the first and only FDA-approved medicine indicated for the treatment of dyskinesia in patients with Parkinson’s disease receiving levodopa-based therapy, with or without concomitant dopaminergic medications. It is also the only medicine clinically proven to reduce both dyskinesia and OFF.
Taken once daily at bedtime, GOCOVRI provides an initial lag and a slow rise in amantadine concentration during the night, resulting in a high concentration from the morning and throughout the waking day. Additionally, in the clinical trials, the adjunctive use of GOCOVRI did not require dose


changes to dopaminergic therapies. The most commonly observed adverse reactions with GOCOVRI were hallucinations, dizziness, dry mouth, peripheral edema, constipation, falls and orthostatic hypotension.
