Financial Results

Third Quarter 2018 Results

Loss from operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $21.3 million and $58.1 million, respectively, compared to $19.8 million and $51.4 million for the respective periods in 2017.

Revenue was $0.4 million and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $2.3 million and $10.8 million for the respective periods in 2017. The Company does not rely on the revenue generated from its commercial operations; however, the Company leverages its commercial infrastructure to support the development of its clinical-stage product candidates by providing quality assurance, compliance, regulatory and pharmacovigilance capabilities, among others.

Research and development expenses were $11.9 million and $31.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $11.8 million and $30.3 million for the respective periods in 2017.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $9.7 million and $26.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $9.1 million and $29.1 million for the respective periods in 2017. The decrease in SG&A expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 is primarily related to a non-cash decrease in share-based compensation of $2.3 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2018, Kadmon’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $113.4 million, compared to $67.5 million as of December 31, 2017.

About KD025

In October 2018, the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation to KD025 for the treatment of cGVHD, which was supported by data from an ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial (KD025-208). In August 2017, the FDA granted Orphan Drug Designation to KD025 for the treatment of cGVHD.
