CINGW Cingulate Inc

Cingulate Inc. (NASDAQ: CING), a biopharmaceutical company utilizing its proprietary Precision Timed Release™ (PTR™) drug delivery platform technology to build and advance a pipeline of next-generation pharmaceutical products, today announced its financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and provided a clinical and business update.

“The capital raised this quarter has allowed us to focus on advancing the remaining activities required for NDA submission of our lead ADHD asset, CTx-1301, targeted for mid 2025,” said Cingulate Chairman and CEO Shane J. Schaffer. “The granting of European patents for CTx-1301 in up to 30 territories, including the United Kingdom, helps Cingulate expand its reach beyond the United States and makes a positive impact on the growing ADHD markets abroad. Overall, Cingulate finds itself in a stronger position financially and looks forward to filing its first NDA next year.”

Cingulate Initiates Final Study for Lead ADHD Asset CTx-1301

In September, Cingulate commenced its final FDA-required study, which is a food effect study, for CTx-1301. A data readout from the study is expected by the end of 2024.

European Patent Granted for Lead Asset CTx-1301 for the Treatment of ADHD

Cingulate was issued a European patent for its lead asset CTx-1301 for the treatment of ADHD during the third quarter of 2024. This patent will include up to 30 European territories, including the United Kingdom. In addition to the European patent, Cingulate has patents in Australia, Canada and Israel, as well as pending patents in Hong Kong, the Republic of Korea, and the United States.

Nasdaq Listing Update

On September 9, 2024, the Nasdaq Hearings Panel notified Cingulate that it had regained compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

Over $12 Million of Capital Raised in the Third Quarter

Cingulate raised approximately $12.5 million of capital in the third quarter of 2024. The capital raised provides the Company the cash runway to fund the clinical, manufacturing, and regulatory activities, as well as operating activities, into the third quarter of 2025, based on planned expenditures. Cingulate is targeting mid-2025 for the NDA submission of CTx-1301 (dexmethylphenidate) for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Third Quarter Results

Cash Position: As of September 30, 2024, Cingulate had approximately $10 million in cash and cash equivalents, a significant increase from December 31, 2023, providing the Company with an extended cash runway into the third quarter of 2025, as noted above.

Working Capital: As of September 30, 2024, Cingulate had approximately $9.8 million in working capital, an increase of $19.5 million from December 31, 2023. This increase in working capital is reflective of a significant strengthening of the Company’s balance sheet resulting from capital raised in 2024.

Liabilities: As of September 30, 2024, total liabilities were $1.5 million, a decrease from December 31, 2023 of $8.8 million, including the conversion of the related party note payable in the amount of $3.3 million which occurred in the first quarter of 2024.

Stockholders’ Equity: As of September 30, 2024, total stockholders’ equity was $12.0 million, an increase of $18.9 million from the end of 2023.

R&D Expenses: R&D expenses were $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $2.5 million from the three months ended September 30, 2023. This change was primarily the result of decreased clinical activity in the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023. During the third quarter of 2023, we incurred significant costs relating to two Phase 3 studies for CTx-1301, the fixed dose pediatric and adolescent safety and efficacy study and the pediatric dose optimization and duration study. Enrollment in these two studies was completed in early 2024 and we are progressing with the remaining close-out and analytical activities required for an NDA submission. Manufacturing costs also decreased as the activity in 2023 was more significant for the manufacture of clinical supply for the Phase 3 studies. In 2024, manufacturing activity included the completion of registration batches of CTx-1301.

G&A Expenses: Total G&A expenses were $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, which was relatively consistent to the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Net Loss: Net loss was $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $6.0 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease in the net loss primarily related to a decrease in R&D and G&A expenses described above.
