Forward Guidance
Company expects to save over $20.0 million in projected future study costs as part of the Company’s indefinite suspension of its clinical development programs. The manufacturing transfer to a global contract manufacturer of the ADHD products remains on track to be completed in calendar 2023, and this transition is expected to further improve gross margins of Adzenys XR-ODT and Cotempla XR-ODT. The extension of the interest-only period will conserve cash and save the Company over $3 million in calendar 2023 principal payments by deferring those payments into 2024 and 2025.
