Adamas Reports Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results
Second quarter 2020 GOCOVRI® product sales of $18.0 million, a 41% increase over second quarter 2019
Total paid prescriptions grew to 8,150, a 32% increase over second quarter 2019

EMERYVILLE, Calif., August 6, 2020 -- Adamas Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADMS), a company dedicated to developing and delivering medicines that make a meaningful difference to people affected by neurological diseases, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020, and recent corporate highlights.
“Adamas delivered a strong performance this quarter, reflecting the successful execution of our growth strategy as well as our ability to rapidly adapt to the challenges posed by the ongoing pandemic,” said Neil F. McFarlane, Chief Executive Officer. “Additionally, we achieved a key milestone during the quarter with the FDA acceptance for review of our sNDA for GOCOVRI as a treatment for OFF episodes in Parkinson’s disease patients receiving levodopa-based therapy. As we continue to respond to an uncertain environment, our focus remains on serving the patient community.”
Recent highlights
•GOCOVRI product sales were $18.0 million in the second quarter of 2020, an increase of 41% as compared to $12.7 million in the second quarter of 2019.
•Total paid prescriptions (TRx) of GOCOVRI were approximately 8,150 in the second quarter of 2020, a 32% increase over approximately 6,160 TRx in the second quarter of 2019 and an increase of 13% over approximately 7,210 TRx in the first quarter of 2020. Strong patient persistence of 45%-50% at 12 months continued for GOCOVRI in the second quarter of 2020.
•New paid prescriptions (NRx) of GOCOVRI were approximately 370 in the second quarter of 2020 compared to NRx of approximately 500 in the first quarter of 2020, reflecting a decline in patient visits to clinics due to the pandemic during the second quarter of 2020.
•The Company began earning royalty revenue on net sales of NAMZARIC® beginning May 18, 2020, recognizing $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2020. Royalties will be earned quarterly through 2024.
•Supplemental New Drug Application for GOCOVRI as a treatment for OFF episodes in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients receiving levodopa-based therapy was accepted for review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The anticipated Prescription Drug User Fee Act action date is February 1, 2021.
•The United States Patent and Trademark Office issued a new patent for GOCOVRI that covers a method of reducing OFF time and increasing good ON time in people with PD being treated with levodopa.
Financial results
Revenue
Total revenue was $18.8 million for the second quarter of 2020, consisting of GOCOVRI product sales of $18.0 million and royalty revenue earned on net sales of NAMZARIC of $0.8 million. GOCOVRI product sales were up 41% compared to $12.7 million in the same period in 2019.


Research and Development (R&D) expenses
R&D expenses for the second quarter of 2020 were $2.6 million, compared to $8.6 million for the same period in the prior year. R&D expenses in the second quarter of 2020 substantially relate to ongoing clinical development activities, including an open-label study which will conclude by the end of 2020 and completing the assessment 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 second quarter of 2020 were $23.2 million, compared to $25.2 million for the same period in the prior year. SG&A expenses in the second quarter of 2020 were primarily attributable to sales force costs and external spend dedicated to GOCOVRI commercialization and the related administrative support. The decrease from prior year quarter was primarily attributable to a combination of cost management activities as well as a reduced cost structure while executing in a virtual environment.
Net loss
Net loss was $10.6 million, or $0.37 per share, basic and diluted, for the second quarter of 2020, compared to a net loss of $24.9 million, or $0.90 per share, basic and diluted, for the second quarter of 2019. Net loss for the second quarters of 2020 and 2019 included $1.7 million and $2.9 million, respectively, in non-cash stock-based compensation expense.
Cash and investments
As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $103.4 million of cash, cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities, compared to $132.6 million at December 31, 2019.

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.
