Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 12, 2025) - InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: INM) (“InMed” or the “Company”), a pharmaceutical company focused on developing a pipeline of proprietary small molecule drug candidates for diseases with high unmet medical needs, today reports financial results for the second quarter of the fiscal year 2025 which ended December 31, 2024.
The Company’s full financial statements and related MD&A for the first quarter ended December 31, 2024, are available at www.inmedpharma.com, www.sedar.com and at www.sec.gov.
Eric A. Adams, InMed’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased with the steady progress across both our pharmaceutical pipeline and commercial operations. The compelling data from INM-901’s preclinical study demonstrated a significant reduction in neuroinflammatory markers-a key contributor to Alzheimer’s disease progression. This positions INM-901 as an innovative approach targeting neuroinflammation, extending beyond traditional amyloid beta and tau-focused therapies. Additionally, the selection of an intravitreal formulation for INM-089 marks a critical milestone in advancing our dry AMD program, offering new possibilities for treatment delivery.”
Adams continued, “BayMedica continues to streamline its supply chain and reduce operational costs as it transitions to a profitable business unit, despite a challenging market landscape.”
Business Update - Pharmaceutical Development Programs
INM-901: Targeting multiple biological pathways in Alzheimer’s disease (‘AD’)
INM-901 is a proprietary small molecule drug candidate with multiple mechanisms of action, currently in development as a potential treatment for AD. Recently the Company announced positive results from a long-term in vivo preclinical AD study. In the study, INM-901 demonstrated a reduction in several plasma and brain markers of neuroinflammation, a recognized contributor to AD development and progression. The ability of INM-901 to actively reduce inflammation is an exciting development, as neuroinflammation has emerged as a promising new drug target beyond existing AD treatments focused primarily on removing amyloid beta plaques and tau protein tangles.
The Company is evaluating additional parameters from this long-term in vivo study and is conducting further molecular analyses to better define the mechanisms of action and potential role of INM-901 in AD treatment. The analyses will focus on the following areas via mRNA, protein and histological measurements:
- Receptor engagement levels: CB1/CB2 and PPAR;
- Neuritogenesis: assess markers for neuronal differentiation and neuronal function; and
- Neuroprotection: evaluating stress responses and cellular growth/survival.
The Company is expected to report on these aspects of the study in the coming weeks.
INM-089: Targeting the treatment of dry Age-related Macular Degeneration (“AMD”)
INM-089 is a proprietary small molecule drug candidate being studied in the treatment of dry AMD. Recently, the Company announced the selection of an intravitreal (‘IVT’) formulation for INM-089 as a drug candidate to be utilized in the Company’s ongoing development program targeting the treatment of dry AMD. INM-089 can be successfully delivered as an IVT formulation, offering several advantages for the continued development of this compound in the treatment of dry AMD.
Financial commentary:
For the three months ended December 31, 2024, the Company reported a net loss of $2.6 million, compared to a net loss of $1.5 million in the same period the previous year. The increase was primarily driven by higher expenses related to pharmaceutical research and development activities, as well as financing costs.
Pharmaceutical research and development and patent expenses were $1M for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared with $0.6M for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in research and development and patents expenses was due primarily to an increase in external contractors and patent fees offset by a decrease in compensation expenses.
General and administrative expenses were $1.6M for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared with $1.4M for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The increase results primarily from a combination of changes including higher consulting fees, legal fees and personnel expenses. This was offset by a decrease in lower office and administrative expenses.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $3.5M, which compares to $6.6M at June 30, 2024. The Company continues to closely monitor expenses while advancing its pharmaceutical pipeline candidates. Based on cash equivalents and short-term investments of $3.5 million as of December 31, 2024 and the receipt of $2.9M in gross proceeds from financing activities which took place in January 2025, the Company expects its cash will be sufficient to fund its planned operating expenses and capital expenditures through to the end of the second quarter of calendar year 2025, depending on the level and timing of BayMedica commercial revenues, as well as the level and timing of our operating expenses.
BayMedica’s commercial business generated revenues of $1.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $1.2 million for the same period last year, reflecting a 10% decrease. This decrease was primarily the result of the Company decrease was primarily the result of negative pricing variance during the period. Despite the decrease in revenues, BayMedica achieved a net income of $0.23M, representing a 189% improvement over the same period last year. This growth was primarily driven by a reduction in inventory write-downs and lower operational expenses in the current period compared to the same period last year, highlighting BayMedica’s continued progression as a profitable business unit.
Corporate Governance Matters:
At the Company’s 2024 Annual General Meeting held on December 18, 2024 (the “2024 AGM”), the Company’s shareholders withheld the election of one nominee, Ms. Janet Grove, from being appointed as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), in accordance with the Company’s Majority Voting Policy. As a result, Ms. Grove offered her resignation to the Board, and the Company’s Nominating & Governance Committee, in accordance with the Majority Voting Policy, considered her resignation and ultimately recommended to the Board to accept Ms. Grove’s resignation. On February 10, 2024, the Board elected to accept Ms. Grove’s resignation. The Board intends to initiate a search for an independent director to replace Ms. Grove as soon as reasonably practicable. In the interim, the Board will continue to operate with the remaining four directors, and each committee of the Board will be comprised of the three independent directors who were re-appointed for directorship at the 2024 AGM. The Board Chair, Mr. Andy Hull will assume the role of Chair of the Nominating & Governance Committee. Mr. Andy Hull commented, “On behalf of the Board and management of the Company, I would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Janet for her dedication and valuable stewardship over the past three years. We are grateful for her service and wish her continued success in all her future endeavors.”
