“The continued growth of FUROSCIX net revenue is encouraging, particularly as we have begun to see increased penetration into the Class IV chronic heart failure patient population following the FDA`s approval of the FUROSCIX expanded indication in August. We anticipate the expansion of the sales force that we completed in late September to have a potentially meaningful impact on sales moving forward. In addition, we saw a significant increase in the FUROSCIX purchase flow from IDNs and hospital systems,” stated John Tucker, President, and Chief Executive Officer of scPharmaceuticals. “We remain committed to our FUROSCIX lifecycle initiatives, including the development of our Autoinjector. The Autoinjector is anticipated to meaningfully reduce cost of goods sold over the medium-to-long-term. We continue to advance our pre-launch activities in anticipation of our PDUFA target action date on March 6, 2025, in patients with fluid overload due to CKD. In preparation for the potential indication expansion, we have conducted in depth market research, identified key opinion leaders, and have incorporated high impact nephrology offices that are already treating heart failure patients that also have CKD into our call plan.”

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Product revenues were $10.0 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $3.8 million for the third quarter of 2023. Cost of product revenues were $3.3 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2023. The increase in both product revenues and cost of product revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, was due to an increase in demand of FUROSCIX further into commercial launch, and related manufacturing costs.

Research and development expenses were $3.5 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $3.4 million for the third quarter of 2023. The increase in research and development expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, was primarily due to an increase in clinical study costs, offset by a decrease in pharmaceutical development, quality, regulatory, and employee related costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $21.3 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $14.1 million for the third quarter of 2023. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, was primarily due to costs associated with entering into the Credit Agreement and Guaranty and Revenue Purchase and Sale Agreement in August 2024, employee related costs, commercial costs, patient support, and professional service costs, offset by decreases in taxes and insurance.

scPharmaceuticals reported a net loss of $35.1 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $15.6 million for the third quarter of 2023. The increase in net loss for the third quarter of 2024, was primarily due to one-time charges related to the extinguishment of debt and accounting for the new financial instruments scPharmaceuticals entered into in August 2024. scPharmaceuticals’ net loss for the third quarter of 2024 was $0.75 per share. The $0.75 per share was burdened by one-time charges of $0.47 per share.

scPharmaceuticals ended the third quarter of 2024 with $91.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $76.0 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments as of December 31, 2023.

As of September 30, 2024, scPharmaceuticals’ total shares outstanding was 50,040,134.

FUROSCIX^® (furosemide injection) 80 mg/10mL for subcutaneous use

FUROSCIX^® is indicated for the treatment of congestion due to fluid overload in adult patients with chronic heart failure.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

FUROSCIX is contraindicated in patients with anuria, patients with a history of hypersensitivity to furosemide, any component of the FUROSCIX formulation or medical adhesives and in patients with hepatic cirrhosis.

Furosemide may cause fluid, electrolyte, and metabolic abnormalities, particularly in patients receiving higher doses, patients with inadequate oral electrolyte intake, and in elderly patients. Serum electrolytes, CO2, BUN, creatinine, glucose, and uric acid should be monitored frequently during furosemide therapy.

Excessive diuresis may cause dehydration and blood volume reduction with circulatory collapse and possibly vascular thrombosis and embolism, particularly in elderly patients.

Furosemide can cause dehydration and azotemia. If increasing azotemia and oliguria occur during treatment of severe progressive renal disease, discontinue furosemide.

Cases of tinnitus and reversible or irreversible hearing impairment and deafness have been reported with furosemide. Reports usually indicate that furosemide ototoxicity is associated with rapid injection, severe renal impairment, the use of higher than recommended doses, hypoproteinemia or concomitant therapy with aminoglycoside antibiotics, ethacrynic acid, or other ototoxic drugs.

In patients with severe symptoms of urinary retention (because of bladder emptying disorders, prostatic hyperplasia, urethral narrowing), the administration of furosemide can cause acute urinary retention related to increased production and retention of urine. These patients require careful monitoring, especially during the initial stages of treatment.

Contact with water or other fluids and certain patient movements during treatment may cause the On-body Infusor to prematurely terminate infusion. Ensure patients can detect and respond to alarms.

The most common adverse reactions with FUROSCIX administration in clinical trials were site and skin reactions including erythema, bruising, edema, and injection site pain.
