MindMed Reports Full Year 2022 Financial Results and Business Highlights

Company positioned for key MM-120 Phase 2b data readout in GAD and Phase 2a data readout in ADHD in late 2023 –

– Company to initiate first clinical trial of MM-402 in 2023 –

– Cash and cash equivalents of $142.1 million at December 31, 2022 –

– Company to host conference call today at 4:30 PM ET –

Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc. (NASDAQ: MNMD), (NEO: MMED), (the “Company” or "MindMed"), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel product candidates to treat brain health disorders, today reported its financial results for the full-year ended December 31, 2022.

“Our significant progress in 2022 has set the stage for what we expect to be a transformational 2023," said Robert Barrow, Chief Executive Officer and Director of MindMed. "This year we expect key data readouts from our Phase 2b study of MM-120 for the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder, as well as from our Phase 2a proof-of-concept trial of repeated low-dose MM-120 in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Additionally, we expect to initiate the first clinical trial of MM-402 later in the year. Importantly, we believe our financial position provides us with the ability to fund our programs well beyond these key milestones and into the first half of 2025. I am incredibly proud of our team’s achievements, and I am more confident than ever in our ability to continue advancing our organization and development programs. We are keenly focused on our mission to deliver novel therapies to treat brain health disorders, which we believe will lead to meaningful improvements in patient outcomes in these major areas of unmet medical need.”

Business Update

  • The Company reiterates its guidance for its cash runway, which is expected to fund its current operating plan into the first half of 2025.
  • MindMed’s management team will participate in the 33rd Annual Oppenheimer Healthcare Conference that is being held virtually from March 13-15, 2023 as well as the 35th Annual Roth Conference in Laguna Niguel, CA from March 12-14, 2023.
  • The Company expects to host a virtual analyst and investor day in the first half of 2023. The event will be hosted by the Company’s management team and will include a physician expert and other key opinion leaders.

Recent Highlights and Anticipated Upcoming Milestones:

Phase 2b study evaluating MM-120 for generalized anxiety disorder ("GAD") remains on track

  • MM-120, the Company’s proprietary, pharmaceutically optimized form of lysergide D-tartrate, is being developed for the treatment of GAD.
  • In August 2022, the Company initiated dosing in the 200-patient Phase 2b dose-optimization study of MM-120 for the treatment of GAD.
  • Patient enrollment is currently ongoing, and the study remains on track, with topline results expected to be announced in late 2023.

Phase 2a study evaluating MM-120 for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ("ADHD") remains on track

  • The Company’s Phase 2a proof-of-concept trial for the treatment of ADHD is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of repeated low-dose MM-120 administration in 52 patients.
  • The Company expects topline results in late 2023.

Advancing development of MM-402 into first clinical trial in 2023

  • The Company is developing MM-402, the Company's proprietary form of the R-enantiomer of 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine ("MDMA"), for the treatment of core symptoms of autism spectrum disorder ("ASD").
  • Results from a preclinical study of MM-402 in a model of ASD are expected to be presented in the first half of 2023.
  • The Company plans to initiate its first clinical trial of MM-402 in 2023. This Phase 1 study is intended to characterize the tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of MM-402, and to evaluate early signals of efficacy to support the Company’s approach in targeting core symptoms of ASD.
  • University Hospital Basel ("UHB") in Switzerland, the Company’s collaborator, is currently enrolling patients in a Phase 1 investigator-initiated trial of R(-)-MDMA, S(+)-MDMA and R/S-MDMA in healthy volunteers. This trial is comparing the tolerability, pharmacokinetics and acute subjective, physiological and endocrine effects of the three molecules.

Collaborations and Partnerships

The Company continues to support its ongoing collaboration with the Liechti Lab at University Hospital Basel (“UHB”) in Switzerland. MindMed has exclusive worldwide rights to data, compounds and patent rights associated with UHB’s research on lysergide and other psychedelic compounds, including data from preclinical studies and investigator-initiated clinical trials.

In September 2022, UHB published the results of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 study in the peer-reviewed scientific journal, Biological Psychiatry. Topline results in 46 patients with clinically significant anxiety demonstrated the significant, rapid, durable and beneficial effects of lysergide and its potential to mitigate symptoms of anxiety and depression with an acceptable tolerability profile. The Company believes these results support the continued clinical development of lysergide.

In November 2022, the peer-reviewed publication of a double-blind, placebo-controlled, random-order, two-period crossover investigator-initiated trial of lysergide and ketanserin was published in the International Journal of Neuropsychopharmacology. The study demonstrated the potential of ketanserin to shorten and attenuate the perceptual effects of lysergide.

2022 Financial Results

Cash Balance. As of December 31, 2022, MindMed had cash and cash equivalents totaling $142.1 million compared to $133.5 million as of December 31, 2021. The Company believes its available cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund its operating requirements into the first half of 2025.

Net Cash in Operating Activities. The net cash used in operating activities was $50.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $45.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2021.

Research and Development (R&D). R&D expenses were $36.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $34.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $1.4 million. The increase was primarily due to increases of $2.9 million in expenses related to clinical research for MM-120, and $5.4 million in internal personnel costs as a result of increasing research and development capacities, offset by a decrease of $5.6 million in expenses related to the Company's MM-110 program, and a decrease of $2.4 million of expenses in connection with various external R&D collaborations.

General and Administrative (G&A). G&A expenses were $30.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $59.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of $28.9 million. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $27.4 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expenses primarily relating to the modification of stock option awards and RSUs recorded during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Net Loss. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $56.8 million, compared to $93.0 million for the same period in 2021.
