Insights

Longeveron's Q2 2024 results show mixed signals. Positive developments include 105% YoY revenue growth to $1.0 million, driven by increased clinical trial demand and new contract manufacturing revenue. The company has also reduced operating expenses by 22% year-over-year, demonstrating improved cost management.

However, Longeveron still reported a net loss of $7.5 million for H1 2024, albeit 27% lower than the previous year. The company's cash position of $12.4 million as of June 30, 2024, supplemented by recent capital raises, is expected to fund operations through Q4 2025. This timeline suggests potential need for additional financing in the near future, which could impact shareholder value.

While clinical progress is promising, Longeveron remains in a pre-revenue stage for its main product candidates. Investors should closely monitor cash burn and clinical trial progress as key indicators of the company's future prospects.

Longeveron's Lomecel-B™ is showing promising results in two key indications. For Alzheimer's disease, the Phase 2a CLEAR MIND trial demonstrated statistically significant improvements in cognitive assessments and biomarkers, including a 49% reduction in brain volume loss. These results, coupled with the FDA's RMAT and Fast Track designations, significantly enhance the therapy's potential.

In HLHS, a rare pediatric heart condition, the ongoing ELPIS II trial has reached 70% enrollment, with completion expected by year-end. The previous ELPIS I trial showed 100% transplant-free survival up to five years, compared to historical 20% mortality rates, highlighting Lomecel-B's promise.

However, investors should note that these are still early-stage results. The true efficacy and market potential of Lomecel-B™ will depend on larger, later-stage trials and regulatory approvals. The upcoming FDA meetings for both indications will be important in determining the path forward.

Longeveron's focus on Alzheimer's disease and HLHS positions it in high-value, unmet medical need markets. The Alzheimer's market, valued at $2.5 billion in 2022, is projected to reach $5.7 billion by 2030, presenting a significant opportunity if Lomecel-B™ proves successful.

The HLHS market, while smaller due to its rare disease status, offers potential for premium pricing and regulatory incentives. Longeveron's Orphan Drug and Rare Pediatric Disease designations for HLHS could provide market exclusivity and priority review vouchers, enhancing its commercial prospects.

However, competition in both spaces is intense. In Alzheimer's, Longeveron will face established players and other emerging therapies. The HLHS market, while less crowded, still requires navigating complex reimbursement landscapes for rare disease treatments. Market success will hinge on Lomecel-B's efficacy data, pricing strategy and Longeveron's ability to navigate the regulatory pathway efficiently.

  • Positive data from the Phase 2a clinical trial (CLEAR MIND ) evaluating Lomecel-B™ in Alzheimer’s disease presented in Featured Research Oral Presentation at Alzheimer’s Association International Conference® (AAIC)
  • U.S. FDA granted Lomecel-B™ both Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation and Fast Track designation for the treatment of mild Alzheimer’s disease
  • Phase 2b clinical trial (ELPIS II) evaluating Lomecel-B™ in rare pediatric disease HLHS has achieved 70% enrollment with completion of enrollment targeted for the end of 2024
  • Strengthened Board of Directors with election of 3 experienced industry veterans at Annual Meeting
  • Focused expenditure management reduced first half Total Operating Expenses 22% year-over-year
  • Financing transaction and warrant exercises in July raised gross proceeds of $15.3 million to fund continued clinical development, and current cash and cash equivalents are expected to be sufficient to fund Company through the fourth quarter of 2025

MIAMI, Aug. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Longeveron Inc. (NASDAQ: LGVN), a clinical stage regenerative medicine biotechnology company developing cellular therapies for life-threatening and chronic aging-related conditions, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 and provided a business update.

“In the second quarter, we continued to make strong progress advancing our investigational cellular therapy candidate, Lomecel-B™, as a potential treatment for both Alzheimer’s disease and Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS),” said Wa’el Hashad, Chief Executive Officer of Longeveron. “Based on the clinical data generated thus far, which in our view has been impressive, the U.S. FDA granted Lomecel-B™ Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation and Fast Track designation for the treatment of mild Alzheimer’s disease. With these designations, and the positive CLEAR MIND Phase 2a clinical trial data recently presented at AAIC, we believe there is strong evidence supporting the therapeutic potential of Lomecel-B™ in the treatment of mild Alzheimer’s disease. Similarly, we were delighted to see the level of interest and support at our June investigator meeting for the HLHS ELPIS II Phase 2b clinical trial, which recently achieved 70% enrollment and for which we are targeting completion of enrollment by the end of this year. Lastly, with the capital we have recently raised from warrant exercises and equity transactions, including participation from certain board members and insiders of the Company in one of those transactions, we believe we have capital sufficient to fund the Company through the fourth quarter of 2025.”

Development Programs Update
Longeveron’s lead investigational therapeutic candidate is Lomecel-B™, a proprietary, scalable, allogeneic cellular therapy being evaluated in multiple indications.

Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) – a rare pediatric congenital heart birth defect in which the left ventricle (one of the pumping chambers of the heart) is either severely underdeveloped or missing.

  • On-going Phase 2b clinical trial (ELPIS II) enrolling 38 pediatric patients, with enrollment completion currently targeted for year-end 2024. Given their smaller populations, clinical trial timing for rare diseases is difficult to predict.
  • In June, the Company hosted a successful ELPIS II investigator meeting, bringing together principal investigators and site staff from premier infant and children’s treatment institutions across the country
  • ELPIS II is being conducted in collaboration with the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) through grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
  • ELPIS II builds on the positive clinical results of ELPIS I, in which children in the trial experienced 100% transplant-free survival up to five years of age after receiving Lomecel-B™ compared to approximate 20% mortality rate observed from historical control data
  • ELPIS I five-year post-treatment completion data anticipated in Q3 2024
  • The FDA has granted Lomecel-B™ Orphan Drug designation, Fast Track designation, and Rare Pediatric Disease designation for the treatment of HLHS
  • The Company anticipates feedback from a Type C meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) before year-end on development strategy for HLHS and expectations for the potential Biologics License Application (BLA) approval

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) – a neurodegenerative disorder that leads to progressive memory loss and death and currently has very limited therapeutic options.

  • Full results from the Phase 2a clinical trial (CLEAR MIND) were presented in a featured research oral presentation at the 2024 Alzheimer's Association International Conference (AAIC)
    • In the clinical trial, Lomecel-B™ treated patients showed an overall slowing/prevention of disease worsening compared to placebo
    • The trial achieved the primary safety and secondary efficacy endpoints and showed statistically significant improvements in pre-specified clinical and biomarker endpoints in specific Lomecel-B™ groups compared to placebo
    • The established safety profile of Lomecel-B™ for single and multiple dosing regimens was demonstrated in study data that showed no incidence of hypersensitivity, infusion-related reactions, and no cases of amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA)
    • Administration of Lomecel-B™ was associated with slowing cognitive and functional decline as demonstrated by statistically significant results in the Montreal Cognitive Assessment and statistical trending improvements compared to placebo in CDR-SB and MMSE
    • There was a statistically significant improvement relative to placebo observed in the Alzheimer’s Disease Cooperative Study Activities of Daily Living (ADCS-ADL)
    • Brain MRI results demonstrated a 49% reduction in brain volume loss and improvement in cerebral blood flow
    • These results support the therapeutic potential of Lomecel-B™ in the treatment of mild Alzheimer’s disease and provided evidence-based support for further clinical development
  • The FDA has granted Lomecel-B™ both Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation and Fast Track designation for the treatment of mild Alzheimer’s disease
  • The Company anticipates meeting with the FDA before year-end to review future clinical and regulatory strategy

Recent Corporate Highlights

  • As part of the planned Board of Directors refreshment process, with a focus on bringing in new, relevant, experienced leaders over time to add to the knowledge base and experience provided by current and departing members, three new members were elected to the Company’s Board of Directors at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders on July 2, 2024:
    • Richard Kender, retired SVP of Business Development and Corporate Licensing for Merck & Co., Inc.,
    • Roger Hajjar, M.D., gene therapy pioneer and Director of the Gene and Cell Therapy Institute at Mass General Brigham,
    • Neha Motwani, senior healthcare investment banker
  • Launch of contract development and manufacturing business, which the Company believes has the potential to generate approximately $4-5 million in annual revenues once it is up and running fully

Year to Date 2024 Summary Financial Results

  • Revenues, Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit: Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $1.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively. 2024 revenues increased $0.5 million, or 105%, when compared to the same period in 2023 mainly as a result of increased participant demand for our investigational Frailty and Cognitive Impairment registry trial in the Bahamas (the “Bahamas Registry Trial”). Clinical trial revenue, which is derived from the Bahamas Registry Trial, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, was $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Clinical trial revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased by $0.3 million, or 76%, when compared to the same period in 2023 as a result of increased participant demand. Contract manufacturing revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $0.2 million from our first manufacturing services contract with Secretome Therapeutics.
  • Related cost of revenues: Cost of revenues was $0.3 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. This resulted in a gross profit of approximately $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $0.5 million, or greater than 100%, when compared with a gross profit of $0.2 million for 2023. This increase is driven by higher Clinical trial revenue and the new manufacturing services contract revenue.
  • General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased to approximately $4.3 million compared to $5.5 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease of approximately $1.2 million, or 22%, was primarily related to a decrease in personnel expenses as a result of lower severance and stock compensation costs in 2024.
  • Research and Development Expenses: Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased to approximately $3.9 million from approximately $5.1 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease of $1.2 million, or 22%, was primarily due to a decrease of $1.3 million in research and development expenses being incurred for the completed Phase 2a (CLEAR MIND) Alzheimer’s disease clinical trial and reduced costs for the aging-related frailty clinical trial following our decision to discontinue trial activities in Japan, reduced cost of supplies of $0.4 million and $0.1 million of lower equity-based compensation expenses allocated to research and development expenses. These reductions were partially offset by $0.6 million of higher compensation and benefit costs.
  • Other Income, net: Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $0.1 million. Other income consisted of $0.1 million from interest earned on money market funds and marketable securities. Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $0.1 million as result of gains from marketable securities.
  • Net Loss: Net loss decreased to approximately $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from a net loss of $10.3 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease in the net loss of $2.8 million, or 27%, was for the reasons outlined above.
  • Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities: as of June 30, 2024 were $12.4 million. Following capital raises and warrant exercises in April and June 2024 resulting in gross proceeds of $17.6 million, in July 2024, the Company completed a Registered Direct Offering which resulted in gross proceeds of $9.0 million. Additionally, certain warrant holders exercised their existing warrants in July, generating gross proceeds of $6.3 million. The Company believes its existing cash and cash equivalents will enable it to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through the fourth quarter of 2025. These estimates are based on assumptions that may prove to be imprecise, and the Company could utilize its available capital resources sooner than it expects.
