SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 22, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Journey Medical Corporation (Nasdaq: DERM) (“Journey Medical” or “the Company”), a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company that primarily focuses on the selling and marketing of FDA approved prescription pharmaceutical products for the treatment of dermatological conditions, today announced financial results and recent corporate highlights for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.
Claude Maraoui, Journey Medical’s Co-Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Since Journey Medical’s inception, we have made significant investments and have committed to building out our commercial product portfolios and infrastructure to position ourselves for future revenue growth. Our total revenues for the first quarter of 2023 were $12.2 million. Despite higher unit sales volumes from period-to-period for Accutane®, Amzeeq®, Zilxi® and Exelderm®, our net product revenues for the first quarter were unfavorably impacted by higher gross-to-net adjustments and lower unit sales volumes for Qbrexza®, Targadox® and Ximino®. However, in April, we have already seen a bounce back in our product net revenues and lower gross-to-net adjustments from the isolated occurrences in the first quarter, particularly for Qbrexza. For the remainder of 2023, we look forward to a return to revenue growth, further reductions in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses from our previous guidance of $5.0 - $7.0 million to result in SG&A annual savings in excess of $12.0 million when compared to 2022, as well as achieving clinical milestones in our Phase 3 clinical trials evaluating DFD-29 for the treatment of papulopustular rosacea (“PPR”). We expect a topline data read out from the DFD-29 Phase 3 clinical trials in June of 2023 and to file a New Drug Application (“NDA”) in the second half of 2023.”

Use of Non-GAAP Measures:
In addition to the GAAP financial measures as presented in our Form 10-Q that will be filed with the SEC, the Company has, in this press release, included certain non-GAAP measurements, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA per share basic and Adjusted EBITDA per share diluted. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) excluding interest, taxes and depreciation, less certain other non-cash and infrequent items not considered to be normal, recurring operating expenses, including, share-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, inventory step-ups from the purchases of intangibles assets and products, severance, non-core research and development expense and foreign exchange transaction losses. In particular, we exclude the following matters for the reasons more fully described below:
Adjusted EBITDA per share basic and Adjusted EBITDA per share diluted are determined by dividing the resulting Adjusted EBITDA by the number of shares outstanding on an actual and fully diluted basis.
Management believes use of these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance because (i) it allows for greater transparency with respect to key measures used by management in its financial and operational decision-making, (ii) it excludes the impact of non-cash or, when specified, non-recurring items that are not directly attributable to the Company’s core operating performance and that may obscure trends in the Company’s core operating performance and (iii) it is used by institutional investors and the analyst community to help analyze the Company's results. However, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA per share basic, Adjusted EBITDA per share diluted and any other non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Further, non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company and the manner in which they are calculated may differ from the non-GAAP financial measures or the calculations of the same non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, including the Company’s competitors.
The table below provides a reconciliation from GAAP to non-GAAP measures:

Weighted average number of common shares Diluted: | 17,807,194 | 20,341,996 |
The weighted average number of common shares Basic in the above table is used to calculate both GAAP and Non-GAAP basic and diluted loss per share for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023, and GAAP basic and diluted loss per share for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, as the net loss for these periods is antidilutive and the effect would be to reduce the loss per share.
