Melinta Therapeutics Reports First Quarter 2018 Financial Results
Strong Product Sales Performance Across Entire Portfolio
Continuing to Optimize Operations to Achieve Cost Synergies
Important Achievements for Development and Discovery Efforts Including CARB-X Funding Award
NEW HAVEN, Conn., May 8, 2018 Melinta Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: MLNT), a commercial-stage company discovering, developing and commercializing novel antibiotics to treat serious bacterial infections, today reported financial results and provided an update on commercial activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. Melinta reported revenue of $14.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, which includes product sales of $11.8 million and contract revenue of $3.0 million. In addition, the company earned $2.7 million in funding from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), which it recorded as other income. This quarter was the first including sales from all four of the companys antibiotic brands.
The new Melinta is off to a strong start in 2018, as we completed our first quarter as a combined company following the close of our acquisition of The Medicines Companys infectious disease business on January 5, 2018, said Dan Wechsler, President and CEO of Melinta. During the quarter we launched Baxdela (delafloxacin) in the U.S. and continued our launch of Vabomere (meropenem and vaborbactam) in the U.S., and generated strong sales performance across all four of our brands, powered by our experienced antibiotics-focused salesforce. Our salesforce is now fully cross-trained with all reps selling all products beginning in May, significantly expanding our share of voice.
Within our pipeline we saw continued advancement, with our partners Menarini Group and Eurofarma Laboratórios submitting Marketing Authorization Applications for delafloxacin in the E.U. and Argentina, respectively. We also announced an agreement with CARB-X, one of the worlds largest public-private partnerships devoted to early development antibacterial R&D, that will provide us funding to advance the development of a novel antimicrobial from our ESKAPE pathogen program.
From a financial perspective, we have received significant interest to partner outside of the U.S. on our products. In addition, we have strong support from shareholders and others to provide a foundation for the continued growth of our company.

Q1 2018 Financial Results
Melinta reported product sales for the first time in the first quarter of 2018 totaling $11.8 million, which included the addition of Vabomere, Minocin and Orbactiv as of January 5, 2018, the close of The Medicines Company acquisition, as well as the launch of Baxdela in February.
For the quarter, total net revenue was $14.8 million compared to total net revenue of $22.5 million for the same period in 2017, when Melinta was a private company. The composition of revenue in the first quarter of 2018 was significantly different than that recognized in the first quarter of 2017. In the first quarters of 2018 and 2017, we recognized contract research revenue totaling $3.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively. In the first quarter of 2017, we also recognized $19.9 million in upfront consideration from Menarini in connection with the execution of our ex-U.S. Baxdela licensing arrangement.

Cost of goods sold was $7.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. Notably, $4.7 million of the $7.7 million was comprised of non-cash, amortization of intangible assets. There were no product sales and therefore no costs of goods sold in the prior year period.
Research and development (R&D) expenses were $16.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, compared to $12.9 million for the same period in 2017. The increase was driven by additional headcount and development activities resulting from the recent merger with Cempra, the acquisition of the infectious disease business from The Medicines Company and accelerated patient enrollment for our ongoing community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP) registration trial for Baxdela.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $34.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, compared to $8.0 million for the same period in 2017. The increase was driven by costs to support a larger, public, commercial organization after the Cempra merger and the acquisition of the infectious disease business from The Medicines Company, including additional headcount and commercial infrastructure, and acquisition-related severance and other non-recurring expenses. Approximately $4.3 million was a result of acquisition-related costs and other non-GAAP adjustments.
Net loss available to shareholders was $29.4 million, or $0.95 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared to a net loss of $5.8 million for the same period in 2017. Net loss per share is impacted by changes in our share count as a result of the Cempra merger and financing related to the acquisition of the infectious disease business from The Medicines Company.
As of March 31, 2018, Melinta had cash and cash equivalents of $91.5 million. Cash and cash equivalents for this quarter was negatively impacted by the timing of certain payments and receipts of reimbursement expenses of approximately $10 million.

Its four marketed products include Baxdela (delafloxacin), Vabomere (meropenem and vaborbactam), Orbactiv® (oritavancin), and Minocin® (minocycline) for Injection.

Visit www.melinta.com for more information.
As more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, the former private company Melinta was determined to be the accounting acquirer in our November 2017 reverse merger with Cempra and,
accordingly, historical financial information for the first quarter of 2017 presented in this press release reflects the standalone former private company Melinta and, therefore, period-over-period comparisons may not be meaningful.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial results presented on a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, basis, we have included information about non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as a useful operating metric. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed with our results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliation, provides supplementary information to analysts, investors, lenders, and our management in assessing the Companys performance and results from period to period. These non-GAAP measures closely align with the way management measures and evaluates the Companys performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not a substitute for, or superior to, net income or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA is not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and represents GAAP net income (loss) adjusted to exclude interest income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, changes in the fair value of our warrant liability, gain or loss on extinguishment of debt, acquisition-related costs, and other adjustments, including severance. Non-GAAP financial measures used by us may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

We intend these forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act and are making this statement for purposes of complying with those safe harbor provisions. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views about our plans, intentions, expectations, strategies and prospects, which are based on the information currently available to us and on assumptions we have made. Although we believe that our plans, intentions, expectations, strategies and prospects as reflected in or suggested by those forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that the plans, intentions, expectations or strategies will be attained or achieved.

Risks and uncertainties for Melinta include, but are not limited to: the fact that we have incurred significant operating losses since inception and will incur continued losses for the foreseeable future; our limited operating history; our need for future capital and risks related to our ability to obtain additional capital to fund future operations; uncertainties of cash flows and inability to meet working capital needs as well as other milestone, royalty and payment obligations; the fact that our independent registered public accounting firms report on the Companys 2016 and 2017 financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph that states that the our recurring losses from operations and our need to obtain additional capital raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern; our substantial indebtedness; risks related to our commercial launches of our products and our inexperience as a company in marketing drug products; the degree of market acceptance of our products among physicians, patients, health care payors and the medical community; the pricing we are able to achieve for our products; failure to obtain and sustain an adequate level of reimbursement for our products by third-party payors; inaccuracies in our estimates of the market for and commercialization potential of our products; failure to maintain optimal inventory levels to meet commercial demand for any of our products; risks that our competitors are able to develop and market products that are preferred over our products; our dependence upon third parties for the manufacture and supply of our marketed products; failure to achieve the benefits of our recently completed transactions with Cempra and The Medicines Company; failure to establish and maintain development and commercialization collaborations; uncertainty in the outcome or timing of clinical trials and/or receipt of regulatory approvals for our product candidates; undesirable side effects of our products; failure of third parties to conduct clinical trials in accordance with their contractual obligations; our ability to identify, develop, acquire or in-license products; difficulties in managing the growth of our company; the effects of recent comprehensive tax reform; risks related to failure to comply with extensive laws and regulations; product liability risks related to our products; failure to retain key personnel; inability to obtain, maintain and enforce patents and other intellectual property rights or the unexpected costs associated with such enforcement or litigation; risks relating to third party infringement of intellectual property rights; our ability to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting; unfavorable outcomes in any of the class action and shareholder derivative lawsuits currently pending against the Company; and the fact that a substantial amount of shares of common stock may be sold into the public markets by one or more of our large shareholders in the near future. Many of these factors that will determine actual results are beyond Melintas ability to control or predict.
Other risks and uncertainties are more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, and in other filings that Melinta makes and will make with the SEC.

herein, and subsequent events and developments may cause our expectations and beliefs to change.
