+Added: NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
+Added: Note 1 — Organization and Description of Business:
+Added: Organization and Business:
+Added: CorMedix Inc.
+Added: (collectively,
+Added: with our wholly owned subsidiaries, referred to herein as “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”)
+Added: is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing therapeutic products for life-threatening diseases and conditions.
+Added: Our primary focus is commercializing
+Added: our lead product, DefenCath® (taurolidine and heparin), in the U.S.
The name DefenCath is the U.S.
−Removed: proprietary name approved by
−Removed: Food and Drug Administration, or FDA.
−Removed: is an antimicrobial solution (a formulation of taurolidine 13.5 mg/mL, and heparin 1000 USP Units/mL) indicated to reduce the incidence
−Removed: of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) in adult patients with kidney failure receiving chronic hemodialysis (HD) through
−Removed: a central venous catheter (CVC).
−Removed: It is indicated for use in a limited and specific population of patients.
−Removed: CRBSI can lead to treatment
−Removed: delays and increased costs to the healthcare system when they occur due to hospitalizations, need for IV antibiotic treatment, long-term
−Removed: anticoagulation therapy, removal/replacement of the CVC, related treatment costs, as well as increased mortality.
−Removed: We believe DefenCath
−Removed: can address a significant unmet medical need.
−Removed: On January 30, 2008, we entered
−Removed: into a License and Assignment Agreement, or the ND License Agreement, with ND Partners LLC, or NDP.
−Removed: Pursuant to the ND License Agreement,
−Removed: NDP granted us exclusive, worldwide licenses for certain antimicrobial catheter lock solutions, processes for treating and inhibiting
−Removed: infections, a biocidal lock system and a taurolidine delivery apparatus, and the corresponding United States and foreign patents and applications
−Removed: (the “NDP Technology”).
−Removed: NDP also granted us exclusive licenses, with the right to grant sublicenses, to use and display certain
−Removed: trademarks in connection with the NDP Technology.
−Removed: As consideration in part for the rights to the NDP Technology, we paid NDP an initial
−Removed: licensing fee of $ 325,000 and granted NDP an equity interest in our Company consisting of 73,107 shares of common stock as of December
−Removed: In addition, we are required to make cash payments to NDP upon the achievement of certain milestones.
−Removed: The maximum aggregate
−Removed: amount of cash payments upon achievement of milestones is $ 3,000,000 , with $ 2,000,000 remaining at December 31, 2023.
−Removed: On November 15, 2023, we announced
−Removed: that the FDA approved the NDA for DefenCath to reduce the incidence of CRBSI in adult patients with kidney failure receiving chronic hemodialysis
−Removed: through a CVC.
−Removed: DefenCath is indicated for use in a limited and specific population of patients.
−Removed: DefenCath is the first and only FDA-approved
−Removed: antimicrobial CLS in the U.S.
−Removed: and was shown to reduce the risk of CRBSI by up to 71 % in a Phase 3 clinical study.
−Removed: As a result of
−Removed: the November 2023 FDA approval, we are currently preparing for the commercial launch of DefenCath.
−Removed: DefenCath is listed in the
−Removed: Orange Book as having NCE exclusivity (5 years) expiring on November 15, 2028, and the Generating Antibiotic Incentives Now or GAIN exclusivity
−Removed: extension of the NCE exclusivity (an additional 5 years) expiring on November 15, 2033.
−Removed: The GAIN exclusivity extension of 5 years is the
−Removed: result of the January 2015 designation of DefenCath as a Qualified Infectious Disease Product (“QIDP”).
−Removed: We announced on April 26,
−Removed: 2023 that following the submission of a duplicate New Technology Add-On Payment (“NTAP”) application in the fourth quarter
−Removed: of 2022 to CMS, CMS has subsequently issued the Inpatient Prospective Payment System (“IPPS”) 2024 proposed rule that includes
−Removed: a NTAP of up to $ 17,111 per hospital stay for DefenCath.
−Removed: This NTAP represents reimbursement to inpatient facilities of 75 % of the anticipated
−Removed: wholesaler acquisition cost price of $ 1,170 per 3 mL vial, and an average utilization of 19.5 vials per hospital stay.
−Removed: The final IPPS
−Removed: rule was published in early August 2023 and confirmed this payment amount in that final rule.
−Removed: This NTAP was conditioned upon the DefenCath
−Removed: NDA obtaining final FDA approval prior to July 1, 2024.
−Removed: As the NTAP was calculated by CMS based upon an anticipated WAC price of $ 1,170 ,
−Removed: and following FDA approval of the DefenCath NDA, an actual WAC of $ 249.99 per 3ml vial was established, we anticipate that CMS will revise
−Removed: the amount of the NTAP payment to reflect the actual WAC price in the next IPPS rulemaking, effective October 1, 2024.
−Removed: Upon the listing
−Removed: in the compendia of the actual WAC price of $ 249.99 per 3ml vial, the Company notified CMS of the new lower WAC pricing and recommended
−Removed: that CMS make an off-cycle adjustment to the NTAP to reflect the current lower WAC pricing amount.
−Removed: CMS subsequently communicated to the
−Removed: Company that they do not intend to update the NTAP reimbursement amount until the next review cycle in October 2024.
−Removed: On January 25, 2024, CMS determined
−Removed: that DefenCath should be classified as a renal dialysis service that is subject to the Medicare end-stage renal disease prospective payment
−Removed: system (“ESRD PPS”).
−Removed: The ESRD PPS provides bundled payment for renal dialysis services, but also affords a transitional drug
−Removed: add-on payment adjustment, or TDAPA, which provides temporary, additional payments for certain new drugs and biologicals.
−Removed: an application for TDAPA on January 26, 2024, and CMS has confirmed receipt.
−Removed: We also submitted a HCPCS application for a J-code to CMS
−Removed: on December 8, 2023, for DefenCath, which is relevant to billing and the TDAPA application.
−Removed: CMS has confirmed the coding application is
−Removed: under review.
−Removed: TDAPA reimbursement is calculated based on 100 percent ASP (or 100 percent of wholesale acquisition price or else manufacturers’
−Removed: list price, respectively, if such data is unavailable).
−Removed: If CMS grants TDAPA and post-TDAPA add-on payment adjustments for DefenCath, collective
−Removed: payments would be for five years (with such add-on payments applying to all ESRD PPS payments for years three through five).
−Removed: CMS confirmed
−Removed: to the Company that, assuming a favorable review, CMS is working towards a July 1, 2024 implementation date for TDAPA.
−Removed: We may pursue additional indications
−Removed: for DefenCath use as a CLS in populations with unmet medical needs that may also represent potentially significant market opportunities.
−Removed: While we are continuing to assess these areas, potential future indications may include use as a CLS to reduce CRBSIs in total parenteral
−Removed: nutrition patients using a central venous catheter and in certain oncology patients using a central venous catheter.
−Removed: In 2024, the company
−Removed: anticipates discussing with the FDA potential pathways for expanded indications.
−Removed: We currently have one FDA
−Removed: approved source for each of our two key APIs for DefenCath, taurolidine and heparin sodium, respectively.
−Removed: With regards to taurolidine,
−Removed: we have a DMF filed with the FDA.
−Removed: There is a master commercial supply agreement between a third-party manufacturer and us in place from
−Removed: We are currently in the process of identifying and qualifying an alternate third-party manufacturer for taurolidine under
−Removed: our existing DMF.
−Removed: With respect to heparin sodium API, we have identified an alternate third party supplier and intend to qualify such
−Removed: supplier under the DefenCath NDA over the next twelve months.
−Removed: We received FDA approval of
−Removed: DefenCath with finished dosage production from our European based CMO Rovi Pharma Industrial Services.
−Removed: We believe this CMO has adequate
−Removed: capacity to produce the volumes needed to meet near term projected demand for the commercial launch of DefenCath.
−Removed: We previously announced commercial
−Removed: arrangements with additional finished dosage CMOs, Alcami Corporation and Siegfried Hameln, that provide for the manufacture of commercial
−Removed: sterile parenteral drug products.
−Removed: The Company anticipates the submission to the FDA of a supplement adding Siegfreid Hameln as an alternate
−Removed: manufacturing site in the second fiscal quarter of 2024.
−Removed: The Company will also discontinue its relationship with Alcami as a potential
−Removed: alternate manufacturing site for DefenCath.
−Removed: We announced on May 1, 2023
−Removed: that the USPTO allowed our patent application directed to a locking solution composition for treating and reducing infection and flow
−Removed: reduction in central venous catheters.
−Removed: This application was granted on August 29, 2023 as U.S.
−Removed: Patent reflects the unique and proprietary formulation of our product, DefenCath, for which we received FDA approval on November
−Removed: This patent supplements the coverage of our existing licensed U.S.
−Removed: 7,696,182, and has the potential to provide an
−Removed: additional layer of patent protection for DefenCath through 2042.
−Removed: As part of the DefenCath approval
−Removed: letter, the FDA communicated the existence of a required pediatric assessment under the Pediatric Research Equity Act, or PREA.
−Removed: PREA requires
−Removed: sponsors to conduct pediatric studies for, among other things, NDAs for a new active ingredient, such as taurolidine in DefenCath, unless
−Removed: a waiver or deferral is obtained from the FDA.
−Removed: A deferral acknowledges that a pediatric assessment is required but permits the applicant
−Removed: to submit the pediatric assessment after the submission of an NDA.
−Removed: FDA deferred submission of the pediatric study for DefenCath because
−Removed: the product is ready for approval for use in adults and the pediatric study has not been completed.
−Removed: We are obligated to conduct the study
−Removed: communicated in the approval letter:
−Removed: an open-label, two-arm (DefenCath vs.
−Removed: standard of care) study to assess safety and time to CRBSI
−Removed: in subjects from birth to less than 18 years of age with kidney failure receiving hemodialysis via a central venous catheter.
−Removed: this is a required post-marketing study, we must make annual reports to the FDA.
−Removed: Pediatric studies for an approved product conducted under
−Removed: PREA may qualify for pediatric exclusivity, which, if granted, provides an additional six months of exclusivity that attaches to the end
−Removed: of existing marketing exclusivity and patent periods for DefenCath.
−Removed: Depending on the timing of final report submission, DefenCath could
−Removed: potentially receive a total marketing exclusivity period of 10.5 years.
−Removed: However, there are factors that could affect whether this exclusivity
−Removed: is received or the duration of exclusivity, and DefenCath may or may not ultimately be eligible for the additional 0.5 years of exclusivity
−Removed: associated with this pediatric study.
−Removed: Neutrolin was previously sold
−Removed: in the EU and other territories where we received CE-Mark approval for the commercial distribution of Neutrolin as a CLS.
−Removed: has elected to discontinue sales of Neutrolin for lack of commercial viability.
−Removed: The winding down of our operations in the EU is nearly
−Removed: complete and Neutrolin sales in both the EU and the Middle East have been discontinued since 2022.
−Removed: addition to DefenCath, we have sponsored a pre-clinical research collaboration for the use of taurolidine as a possible treatment for
−Removed: rare pediatric tumors.
−Removed: In February 2018, the FDA granted orphan drug designation to taurolidine for the treatment of neuroblastoma in
−Removed: We may seek one or more strategic partners or other sources of capital to help us develop and commercialize taurolidine for
−Removed: the treatment of neuroblastoma in children.

+Added: Revenue Recognition
+Added: The Company recognizes revenue
+Added: from the sale of its product, DefenCath, in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC
+Added: The provisions of ASC 606 require the following steps to determine revenue recognition:
+Added: (1) identify the contract(s) with
+Added: (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract;
+Added: (3) determine the transaction price;
+Added: (4) allocate the transaction
+Added: price to the performance obligations in the contract;
+Added: and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
+Added: The Company recognizes revenue
+Added: when it believes that it is probable that it will collect the consideration to which it is entitled in exchange for the goods or services
+Added: that will be transferred to the customer.
+Added: The Company’s product revenue is recognized at a point in time when the performance obligation
+Added: is satisfied by transferring control of the promised goods or services to a customer.
+Added: In accordance with the Company’s contracts
+Added: with customers, control of the product is transferred upon the conveyance of title, which occurs when the product is received by a customer.
+Added: The Company’s customers are located in the United States and consist primarily of outpatient service providers and wholesale distributors.
+Added: Variable Consideration
+Added: The Company includes an estimate
+Added: of variable consideration in its transaction price at the time of sale when control of the product transfers to the customer.
+Added: consideration includes:
+Added: Distribution service fees;
+Added: Prompt pay and other discounts;
+Added: Product returns;
+Added: Volume incentive rebates;
+Added: The Company assesses whether
+Added: or not an estimate of variable consideration is constrained based on the probability that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative
+Added: revenue may occur in the future when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
+Added: Actual amounts
+Added: of consideration ultimately received may vary from our estimates.
+Added: If actual results in the future vary from estimates, the Company adjusts
+Added: these estimates, which would affect product sales and earnings in the period such variances become known.
+Added: The specific considerations
+Added: that the Company uses in estimating these amounts related to variable considerations are as follows:
+Added: Distribution services fees –
+Added: The Company pays distribution service fees primarily to its wholesale distributors.
+Added: The Company reserves these fees based on actual net
+Added: sales and the contractual fee rates negotiated with the customers in the distribution channel.
+Added: The Company records these fees as contra
+Added: accounts receivable on the balance sheet.
+Added: Prompt pay and other discounts
+Added: – The Company provides customers with prompt pay discounts.
+Added: The specific prompt pay terms vary by customer and are contractually
+Added: Prompt pay discounts are expected to be taken by the Company’s customers, so an estimate of the discount is recorded at
+Added: the time of sale based on the invoice price.
+Added: Prompt pay discount estimates are recorded as contra accounts receivable on the balance
+Added: Product returns –
+Added: Customers have the right to return product that is within six months or less of the labeled expiration date or that is past the expiration
+Added: date by no more than six months.
+Added: The Company determines its estimate for product returns based on:
+Added: (i) data provided to the Company by
+Added: its distributors (including weekly reporting of distributors’ sales and inventory held by distributors that provided the Company
+Added: with visibility into the distribution channel in order to determine what quantities were sold to both inpatient and outpatient facilities),
+Added: and (ii) the estimated remaining shelf life of DefenCath held by the wholesale distributors and outpatient service providers.
+Added: returns primarily consist of expired and short dated products that will not be resold, the Company does not record a return asset for
+Added: the right to recover the goods returned by the customer at the time of the initial sale (when recognition of revenue is deferred due
+Added: to the anticipated return).
+Added: Estimated product returns are recorded as accrued expenses on the balance sheet.
+Added: Chargebacks –
+Added: Certain covered entities, group purchasing organizations (“GPO”) and government entities will be able to purchase the product
+Added: at a price discounted below wholesaler acquisition cost (“WAC”).
+Added: The difference between the GPO, government or covered entity
+Added: purchase price and the wholesale distributor purchase price of WAC will be charged back to the Company.
+Added: The Company estimates the amount
+Added: in chargebacks based on the expected number of claims and related cost that is associated with the revenue being recognized for product
+Added: that remains in the distribution channel at the end of each reporting period.
+Added: Estimated chargebacks are recorded as contra accounts receivable
+Added: on the balance sheet.
+Added: Rebates – The
+Added: Company is or may become subject to negotiated discount obligations to different GPO, direct purchasers, other commercial organizations
+Added: or government programs.
+Added: The rebate amounts for these programs are determined by statutory requirements or contractual arrangements.
+Added: are owed after the product has been dispensed to an end user and the Company has been invoiced.
+Added: Rebates are typically invoiced in arrears.
+Added: The Company’s liability for these rebates consists of invoices received for claims from prior quarters that have not been paid
+Added: or for which an invoice has not yet been received, estimates of claims for the current quarter based on expected product utilization,
+Added: and estimated future claims that will be made for product that has been recognized as revenue, but remains in the distribution channel
+Added: at the end of each reporting period.
+Added: Rebate estimates are recorded as accrued expenses on the balance sheet.
+Added: Volume Incentive Rebates
+Added: – The Company is subject to negotiated volume incentive rebates with certain direct and indirect customers (primarily outpatient
+Added: service providers).
+Added: Rebates are owed based on predetermined volume levels and payable per the terms in the customer contracts.
+Added: estimates and records volume incentive rebates based on anticipated purchase volume with specific customers based on communications with
+Added: the customer.
+Added: Volume incentive rebates are recorded as accrued expenses on the balance sheet.

+Added: Loss Per Common Share
+Added: Basic loss per common share
+Added: excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

+Added: Under the two-class method, earnings available to common shareholders, including both distributed and undistributed

+Added: stock method.
+Added: No loss has been allocated to these participating securities since they do not have contractual obligations that require
