SAN FRANCISCO, CA / August 13, 2024 / Jaguar Health, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAGX) (“Jaguar” or the “Company”) today reported its consolidated second-quarter 2024 financial results and provided Company updates.

The combined net revenue for the Company’s crofelemer prescription products, Mytesi^® and Canalevia^®-CA1, and the Company’s non-prescription products, was approximately $2.72 million in the second quarter of 2024, representing an increase of approximately 16% over the combined net revenue in the first quarter of 2024, which totaled approximately $2.35 million, and 2.0% over the combined net revenue in the second quarter of 2023, which totaled approximately $2.67 million.

Jaguar, with strong leadership and participation from Jaguar family companies Napo Pharmaceuticals and Napo Therapeutics, is supporting investigator-initiated proof-of-concept (POC) studies of crofelemer for the rare disease indications of microvillus inclusion disease (MVID) and short bowel syndrome (SBS) with intestinal failure in the US, EU, and Middle East/North Africa (MENA) regions, with results expected by the end of 2024 and throughout 2025. The import permit for crofelemer for Abu Dhabi for the POC study in pediatric patients with MVID or SBS with intestinal failure has been granted. In accordance with the guidelines of specific EU countries, published data from clinical investigations in such rare diseases could support early patient access to crofelemer for these debilitating conditions in those countries.

Lisa Conte, Jaguar's president and CEO, said, “Our paramount near-term activities are our planned October 2024 commercial launch of the FDA-approved oral mucositis prescription product Gelclair^® in the U.S., progressing our rare disease development business, and our ongoing analysis of full data for the first and second 12-week stages of our pivotal phase 3 OnTarget trial of crofelemer for prophylaxis of cancer therapy-related diarrhea (CTD). As announced, we are collaborating with our clinical and scientific advisers to evaluate the significance of the clinically meaningful results identified in patients with breast and lung cancer in the initial data from OnTarget, as we plan to engage in discussions with the FDA to explore the possible pathway of approval to make crofelemer available to breast and lung cancer patients for CTD.”

2024 SECOND QUARTER COMPANY FINANCIAL RESULTS:

· Net Mytesi Revenue: The combined net revenue for Mytesi was approximately $2.64 million in the second quarter of 2024, representing an increase of approximately 15% over the combined net revenue in the first quarter of 2024, which totaled approximately $2.35 million, and an increase of 1% over the combined net revenue for the second quarter of 2023, which totaled approximately $2.62 million.

· Mytesi Prescription Volume: Mytesi prescription volume increased in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024 by 5.2%. Prescriptions decreased by 0.4% in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023. Prescription volume differs from invoiced sales volume, which reflects, among other factors, varying buying patterns among specialty pharmacies in the closed network as they manage their inventory levels.

· Neonorm^™: Revenues for the non-prescription Neonorm products were minimal for the second quarters of 2024 and 2023.

· Research and Development: The R&D expense decreased by $0.6 million, from $4.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 to $3.7 million during the same quarter in 2024, primarily due to the winding down of activities related to the phase 3 OnTarget clinical trial, regulatory activities for the trial, and the Company’s initiatives for rare disease product development.

· Sales and Marketing: The Sales and Marketing expense decreased by approximately $0.1 million, from $1.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 to $1.5 million during the same quarter in 2024. Direct marketing fees and expenses decreased due to continued savings associated with the utilization of a more cost-effective patient support services vendor, other Mytesi marketing initiatives, as well as decreased stock-based compensation, and commission expenses.

· General and Administrative: The G&A expense decreased by $0.1 million, from $4.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, to $4.3 million during the same quarter in 2024, due to decreases in personnel and benefits, rent and lease, stock-based compensation, travel and other expenses. However, this decrease is offset by an increase in consulting, audit, tax and accounting services, and public company expenses.

· Loss from Operations: Loss from operations decreased by $0.9 million, from $8.1 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2023 to $7.2 million during the same period in 2024.

· Net Loss: Net loss attributable to common shareholders decreased by approximately $2.6 million, from $12.1 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2023 to $9.5 million in the same period in 2024. In addition to the loss from operations:

o Interest expense decreased by $3.3 million from ($0.11) million in the quarter ended June 30, 2024 versus $3.5 million for the same period in 2023, primarily due to certain debt instruments being accounted for using the fair value option. The lower interest expense was offset with a higher loss on change in fair value of debt instruments.

o Change in fair value of financial instrument and hybrid instrument designated at FVO increased by $1.0 million from a loss of $1.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to a loss of $0.8 million for the same period in 2023 primarily due to fair value adjustments in liability classified warrants and notes payable designated at FVO.

· Non-GAAP Recurring EBITDA: Non-GAAP recurring EBITDA for the second quarter of 2024 and the second quarter of 2023 were a net loss of $8.8 million and $7.7 million, respectively.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Measures

The Company supplements its condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis by providing non-GAAP EBITDA and non-GAAP recurring EBITDA, which are considered non-GAAP under applicable SEC rules. Jaguar believes that the disclosure items of these non-GAAP measures provide investors with additional information that reflects the basis upon which Company management assesses and operates the business. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed in isolation or as substitutes for GAAP net sales and GAAP net loss and are not substitutes for, or superior to, measures of financial performance in conformity with GAAP.

The Company defines non-GAAP EBITDA as net loss before interest expense and other expense, depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense and provision for or benefit from income taxes. The Company defines non-GAAP Recurring EBITDA as non-GAAP EBITDA adjusted for certain non-recurring revenues and expenses. Company management believes that non-GAAP EBITDA and non-GAAP Recurring EBITDA are meaningful indicators of Jaguar’s performance and provide useful information to investors regarding the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
