NeuroDerm Announces First Quarter 2015 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update

- Company to host conference call and webcast today at 8:30 a.m. ET -

REHOVOT, Israel – May 27, 2015 – NeuroDerm Ltd. (NASDAQ: NDRM), a clinical stage pharmaceutical company developing drugs for central nervous system (CNS) diseases, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015 and provided a corporate update.

“We look forward to the start of our next clinical trial, a head-to-head pilot pharmacokinetic study comparing ND0612H, our subcutaneously delivered high dose product candidate for advanced Parkinson’s disease, with Duodopa®, an intraduodenally-delivered product requiring surgery. Pending the study’s outcome, we plan to conduct a definitive pharmacokinetic similarity study of ND0612H to Duodopa that should serve as the basis for approval in Europe. In addition, we intend to initiate a Phase II study for ND0612H in the United States in the second half of 2015, and to advance ND0612L, our low-dose product candidate for the treatment of moderate Parkinson’s disease to pivotal and safety studies in the United States and Europe,” said Oded Lieberman, PhD, CEO of NeuroDerm.

Financial Results for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2015

Research and development expenses, net were $1.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $1.9 million in the same period in 2014. The decrease was primarily due to lower costs related to clinical studies in the first quarter of 2015 which were partially offset by an increase in payroll and related expenses, and an increase in share-based payments.

General and administrative expenses were $0.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to a similar amount in the same period in 2014. A decrease in legal and accounting costs in the first quarter of 2015, due to the completion of our initial public offering (IPO) in 2014, was partially offset by an increase in payroll and related expenses, and an increase in share-based payments.

The Company reported a net loss of $1.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $3.9 million for the same period in 2014. The decrease was primarily due to non-cash financial expenses net for the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily related to the fair value of the Company’s convertible loans, embedded derivatives and financial instruments, all of which were converted into ordinary shares prior to the Company’s IPO, in the fourth quarter of 2014.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and short-term bank deposits totaling $38.9 million. The Company is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company with a limited operating history, has not yet generated revenue from its operations and continues to incur significant research and development and other expenses related to its ongoing operations. The Company is still in the early stages of development of its product candidates. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the Company’s business will generate positive cash flow. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $134 million and its activities have been funded through public and private offerings of the Company's securities and issuance of convertible loans and warrants.

The Company's current cash resources are not sufficient to complete the research and development of all of the Company's product candidates. Management expects that the Company will incur more losses as it continues to focus its resources on advancing its product candidates based on a prioritized plan that will result in negative cash flows from operating activities. The Company believes its existing capital resources should be sufficient to fund its current and planned operations for at least the next 12 months.

About NeuroDerm

NeuroDerm is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing central nervous system (CNS) product candidates that are designed to overcome major deficiencies of current treatments and achieve enhanced clinical efficacy through continuous, controlled administration. In Parkinson’s disease, the company has four product candidates in different stages of development which offer a solution for almost every Parkinson’s disease patient from the moderate to the very severe stage of the disease. The company has developed a line of LD/CD product candidates administered through small belt pumps that deliver a continuous, controlled dose of LD/CD. The LD/CD line of product candidates includes: ND0612L and ND0612H, delivered subcutaneously, for moderate and for advanced Parkinson’s disease patients, respectively, and ND0680 for a subset of severe Parkinson’s disease patients whose symptoms have advanced to a highly advanced stage, requiring even higher doses of LD/CD. In addition, NeuroDerm is developing ND0701, a novel subcutaneously delivered apomorphine formulation for patients who suffer from severe Parkinson’s disease and who do not respond well to LD/CD. NeuroDerm is headquartered in the Weizmann Science Park in Rehovot, Israel.
