Foamix Reports Third Quarter 2017 Financial Results and Provides Business Update

Conference Call and Webcast on Wednesday, November 15, 2017 at 8:30am Eastern / 5:30am Pacific

Rehovot, Israel, November 14, 2017 – Foamix Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (NASDAQ: FOMX) (“Foamix Pharmaceuticals” or the “Company”), a clinical stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing proprietary topical foams to address unmet needs in dermatology, announced today financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Clinical, business and corporate developments for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and to date:

During the third quarter of 2017 we continued to progress with our Phase 3 clinical studies in moderate-to-severe acne. On August 3^rd, 2017, we announced the dosing of the first patient in our third Phase 3 study (Study FX2017-22). We expect to announce top-line results in mid-2018. Additionally, the last subject visit has been completed, ahead of schedule, in the long-term safety extension for our first two Phase 3 studies (Study FX2014-04 and Study FX2014-05). We anticipate having top-line results from this safety study by the end of the year. Our two Phase 3 studies in moderate-to-severe papulopustular rosacea (Study FX2016-11 and Study FX2016-12) also continue to progress as planned, and we expect to have top-line results in mid-2018.

·	U.S. Sales of Finacea^® Foam, azelaic acid 15% for the treatment of rosacea.

o	Finacea® Foam was developed through a research and development collaboration between Foamix and Bayer, utilizing Foamix's proprietary foam technology platform. The drug was launched by Bayer in the USA in September 2015.

o	Based on sales of Finacea® Foam reported by Bayer HealthCare AG for Q3, 2017 Foamix is entitled to royalty payments of $815,000, up 2% from the second quarter of 2017 and 3% from the third quarter of 2016.

Financial highlights for the nine months ended September 30, 2017:

·	Total revenues were $2.6 million compared with $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease is mainly due to one-time contingent payments from Bayer HealthCare AG, with respect to sales of Finacea^® Foam, received in the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Research and development expenses were $42.4 million, compared with $16.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in costs relating to the Phase 3 clinical trials of FMX101 (for the treatment of moderate-to-severe acne) and FMX103 (for the treatment of moderate-to-severe rosacea), which are now running simultaneously, as well as an increase in payroll and related expenses, due to one-time severance payments and increase in headcount.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $9.2 million, compared with $6.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses resulted primarily from increase in payroll and other payroll-related expenses due to one-time severance payments and an increase in headcount. In addition, we incurred an increase in expenses relating to consultants and professional fees.

·	Operating expenses totaled $51.6 million, compared with $22.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

·	Net loss was $48.4 million or $1.29 per share, basic and diluted, compared with a loss of $18.5 million or $0.60 per share, basic and diluted, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

·	Cash and investments (including long term) as of September 30, 2017 totaled $89.4 million, compared with $131.0 million as of December 31, 2016.

Management overview

On August 3, 2017 we announced the dosing of the first patient in our third Phase 3 Acne clinical trial (Study FX2017-22) for Minocycline Foam FMX101 for the treatment of moderate-to-severe acne. Study FX2017-22 is a double-blind, vehicle-controlled, multi-center study that will enroll 1,500 patients with moderate-to-severe acne. This study is being conducted at approximately 80 sites throughout the United States. Patients are randomized 1:1 to either 4% minocycline foam (FMX101) or vehicle, with once daily treatment for 12 weeks. The primary endpoints are identical to the primary endpoints in Study FX2014-04 and FX2014-05, which are: (1) the proportion of patients achieving success at week 12 based on an Investigator’s Global Assessment or IGA (success is defined as a score of “clear” or “almost clear” and at least a two category improvement from baseline), and (2) the mean change from baseline in inflammatory lesion counts in each treatment group at week 12. Safety evaluation will include reported adverse events, assessments of tolerability, clinical laboratory tests and vital signs. The last subject visit has been completed, ahead of schedule, in the long-term safety extension for our first two Phase 3 studies (Study FX2014-04 and Study FX2014-05). We anticipate having top-line results from this safety study by the end of the year.

On June 12, 2017, we announced that the first patient had been dosed in our Phase 3 program to evaluate the efficacy and safety of our topical Minocycline Foam 1.5%, FMX103 for the treatment of moderate-to-severe rosacea. The Phase 3 program consists of two multi-center studies (FX2016-11 and FX2016-12). Each study will enroll approximately 750 patients with moderate-to-severe papulopustular rosacea into a 12-week double-blind, vehicle-controlled phase. Both studies will be conducted at approximately 80 sites throughout the United States. Patients will be randomized on a 2:1 basis (1.5% minocycline foam vs vehicle) and treated once daily for 12 weeks in the initial double-blind portions of the studies. The primary efficacy endpoints are (1) the proportion of patients achieving success at week 12 based on an IGA (success is defined as a score of “clear” or “almost clear” and at least a 2-grade improvement from baseline), and (2) the mean change from baseline in inflammatory lesion counts in each treatment group at week 12. Safety evaluation will include reported adverse events, assessments of tolerability, clinical laboratory tests and vital signs. The two double-blinded efficacy studies will be followed by an open-label safety extension study (FX2016-13) to evaluate the safety of FMX103 for up to an additional 9 months.

We selected Premier Research as our designated clinical research organization (CRO) for the execution of our third Phase 3 study in acne as well as our two Phase 3 studies in rosacea. Premier Research has significant experience in the execution of global clinical trial programs and is a recognized leader in clinical trial management within the field of dermatology. We are encouraged with the patient enrollment rates in both of our Phase 3 programs and expect to announce the top line results of these studies in acne and rosacea in mid-2018.

In September 2015, Bayer Healthcare began selling Finacea^® Foam (azelaic acid 15% for the treatment of rosacea) in the United States. Finacea^® foam is a prescription foam product which was developed as part of a research and development collaboration between Foamix and Bayer, utilizing Foamix's proprietary foam technology platform. According to our license agreement with Bayer, we are entitled to royalties upon commercialization of Finacea Foam. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, we were entitled to royalties from Bayer in the amount of $815,000, up 2% from the second quarter of 2017 and 3% from the third quarter of 2016.

·	We are currently well-capitalized and have sufficient cash to fund our key development programs (FMX101 and FMX103) until mid-2019.

Financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2017

Revenues

Total revenues for the three-months ended September 30, 2017 were $901,000 compared with $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease is mainly due to one-time contingent payments received from Bayer HealthCare AG in 2016 offset by an increase in royalties due to an increase in sales of Finacea® Foam by Bayer HealthCare AG.

The increase in research and development expenses resulted primarily from an increase of $9.3 million in costs relating to the FMX101 and FMX103 Phase 3 clinical trials, which are now running simultaneously, and an increase of $334,000 in payroll and payroll related expenses (including bonuses and equity-based compensation) due to an increase in headcount.
