Sagimet Biosciences Reports First Quarter 2025 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Updates - ForexTV
Phase 1 clinical trial to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of a combination of denifanstat and resmetirom expected to initiate in 2H 2025; data readout expected 1H 2026SAN MATEO, Calif., May 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sagimet Biosciences Inc. (Nasdaq: SGMT), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics targeting dysfunctional metabolic and fibrotic pathways, today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and provided recent corporate updates. “Sagimet is committed to bringing innovative therapies to MASH patients, following the successful results of our Phase 2b FASCINATE-2 clinical trial of denifanstat in MASH F2-F3 patients, particularly in more advanced F3 stage patients. In a Phase 1 clinical trial in patients with and without hepatic impairment, denifanstat exhibited similar pharmacokinetic characteristics and was well tolerated among all groups. Considering these strong Phase 1 and Phase 2 data, further development of denifanstat in MASH, including as part of a combination program, could potentially offer an opportunity to serve patient groups with the strongest need of treatment including those with stage 4 fibrosis,” said David Happel, Chief Executive Officer of Sagimet. “Building on our presentation of compelling preclinical data at 2024 EASL demonstrating the synergistic effect of a FASN inhibitor combined with resmetirom on important liver disease markers, we anticipate initiating a Phase 1 clinical trial to evaluate the PK and tolerability of a combination of denifanstat and resmetirom in the second half of 2025. If the outcome of this Phase 1 trial is positive, we will explore moving into the development of a combination product -- which we envision as a single tablet -- for patients living with MASH. We remain strongly convinced of the significant therapeutic potential associated with FASN inhibition across multiple disease states.” Recent Corporate Highlights Pre-clinical data presented at EASL in 2024 for two mouse models of MASH showed that the combination of a FASN inhibitor (TVB-3664, a surrogate for denifanstat) and resmetirom had a synergistic effect on important liver disease markers, including improvement of NAS (NAFLD Activity Score) by histologic analysis and more robust improvement in hepatic collagen content compared to the single agents. Synergistic activity of the combination was demonstrated in the rate of histological improvement (NAS ≥2 points). The FASN inhibitor monotherapy showed 33% improvement, resmetirom monotherapy showed 25% improvement, and the combination of the two showed an 80% improvement, a level of improvement that greatly exceeds a simple addition of the activity of the two drugs. Building on this combination data, subject to consultation with regulatory authorities, Sagimet plans to initiate a Phase 1 clinical trial to evaluate the PK of a combination of denifanstat and resmetirom in the second half of 2025, with an anticipated data readout in the first half of 2026. If the outcome of this Phase 1 clinical PK trial is positive, Sagimet anticipates exploring the development of a combination product for MASH patients. Rohit Loomba, M.D., M.H.Sc., Professor of Medicine, Chief, Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, and Director, MASLD Research Center, University of California San Diego, said, “I’m excited to see Sagimet initiate development of a combination of denifanstat and resmetirom with this Phase 1 PK trial which will potentially answer important questions about the compatibility of these two molecules in humans. Results of this Phase 1 trial, if successful, could lead to further development of a combination of Sagimet’s fat synthesis inhibitor, denifanstat, with a fat oxidizer in MASH patients, potentially including those with stage 4 fibrosis.” End-of-Phase 2 interactions with the FDA were successfully completed in October 2024, supporting the advancement of denifanstat into Phase 3 in MASH. While Sagimet is operationally ready to dose patients in Phase 3 trials in F2/F3 MASH patients, it does not intend to initiate these trials until such time as it has sufficient funding to do so. Sagimet is currently exploring various alternatives to fund the ongoing development of denifanstat as a monotherapy.Effective May 6, 2025, George Kemble, Ph.D. transitioned from his executive officer position as Executive Chairman and moved into the role of non-executive Chair of the Board. Also effective as of May 6, 2025, the Board appointed Beth Seidenberg, M.D. to serve as Lead Independent Director of the Board. Effective as of June 9, 2025, the date of Sagimet’s Annual Meeting, Merdad Parsey, M.D., Ph.D, will step off the Board. The Board thanks Dr. Parsey for his fifteen years of service to the Company as a Director. Publications and Presentations In May 2025, Sagimet is presenting three poster presentations featuring additional analyses from the Phase 2b FASCINATE-2 trial of denifanstat in MASH at the European Association for the Study of Liver (EASL) Congress 2025. The posters focus on antifibrotic effects of denifanstat in difficult-to-treat patients, new bile acid biomarkers to measure denifanstat response and alternative endpoints to liver biopsy such as MRI to detect patient improvement.In February 2025, Sagimet delivered an oral presentation at the MASH Pathogenesis and Therapeutic Approaches Keystone Symposium. The presentation featured lipidomic data on improvements in polyunsaturated fatty acid triglycerides and LDL cholesterol levels in advanced fibrosis patients from the Phase 2b FASCINATE-2 trial of denifanstat in MASH, and preclinical data showing reduction of LDL and chemokines in a preclinical atherosclerosis model with a FASN inhibitor (TVB-3664, a surrogate for denifanstat).In January 2025, Sagimet delivered an oral presentation at the 9th Annual MASH-TAG Conference highlighting the differentiated mechanism of action of the FASN inhibitor denifanstat and its observed anti-fibrotic effect in the Phase 2b FASCINATE-2 trial in F2/F3 MASH. Anticipated Upcoming Milestones Phase 1 clinical trial to evaluate the PK and tolerability of a combination of denifanstat and resmetirom, planned to initiate in the second half of 2025, with an anticipated data readout in the first half of 2026.In November 2024, the Company’s license partner for China, Ascletis BioScience Co. Ltd. (Ascletis) announced completion of enrollment of 480 patients in its Phase 3 clinical trial of denifanstat for acne in China, and that it expects to announce topline results in the second quarter of 2025.First-in-human Phase 1 clinical trial of TVB-3567 in acne expected to initiate in the second half of 2025, following the IND clearance in March 2025. Financial Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of March 31, 2025, were $144.6 million.Research and development expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, was $15.3 million compared to $5.3 million for the first quarter of 2024.General and administrative expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, was $4.5 million, compared to $3.5 million for the first quarter of 2024.Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, was $18.2 million compared to $6.6 million for the first quarter of 2024. About Sagimet Biosciences Sagimet is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel fatty acid synthase (FASN) inhibitors that are designed to target dysfunctional metabolic and fibrotic pathways in diseases resulting from the overproduction of the fatty acid, palmitate. Sagimet’s lead drug candidate, denifanstat, is an oral, once-daily pill and selective FASN inhibitor in development for the treatment of metabolic dysfunction associated steatohepatitis (MASH). FASCINATE-2, a Phase 2b clinical trial of denifanstat in MASH with liver biopsy-based primary endpoints, was successfully completed with positive results. Denifanstat has been granted Breakthrough Therapy designation by the FDA for the treatment of non-cirrhotic MASH with moderate to advanced liver fibrosis (consistent with stages F2 to F3 fibrosis), and end-of-Phase 2 interactions with the FDA have been successfully completed, supporting the advancement of denifanstat into further development. Sagimet’s second FASN inhibitor, TVB-3567, a potent and selective small molecule FASN inhibitor, received IND clearance in March 2025, allowing initiation of a first-in-human Phase 1 clinical trial in acne. For additional information about Sagimet, please visit www.sagimet.com. About MASH Metabolic-dysfunction associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is a progressive and severe liver disease which is estimated to impact more than 115 million people worldwide, for which there is only one recently approved treatment in the United States and no currently approved treatments in Europe. In 2023, global liver disease medical societies and patient groups formalized the decision to rename non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) to MASH. Additionally, an overarching term, steatotic liver disease (SLD), was established to capture multiple types of liver diseases associated with fat buildup in the liver. The goal of the name change was to establish an affirmative, non-stigmatizing name and diagnosis.

("Dentsply Sirona" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: XRAY) today announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2025. First quarter net sales of $879 million decreased (7.7%) (organic sales decreased (4.4%)) compared to the first quarter of 2024. Foreign currency changes negatively impacted first quarter 2025 net sales by approximately ($30) million. Net income was $20 million, or $0.10 per share, compared to a net income of $18 million, or $0.09 per share in the first quarter of 2024. Adjusted earnings per diluted share were $0.43, compared to $0.42 in the first quarter of 2024. A reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures (including organic sales, adjusted EBITDA and margin, adjusted EPS, adjusted free cash flow conversion, and segment adjusted operating income) to GAAP measures is provided below. "In the first quarter, organic sales were roughly flat excluding the Byte sales impact, with growth in two of our three regions. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded which primarily reflects the benefits from our transformational initiatives and internal financial discipline. We are delivering progress through customer-centric innovation, customer experience improvements, and operational efficiency, while operating in an increasingly uncertain macroeconomic environment," said Simon Campion, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Looking forward, we are maintaining our outlook for organic sales and adjusted EPS and will continue to focus on improving what is within our control to deliver sustainable long-term performance."

These Non-GAAP measures are used by the Company to measure its performance and may differ from those used by other companies. These Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with US GAAP. Management believes that these Non-GAAP measures are helpful as they provide a measure of the results of operations, and are frequently used by investors and analysts to evaluate the Company’s performance exclusive of certain items that impact the comparability of results from period to period, and which may not be indicative of past or future performance of the Company. Organic Sales The Company defines "organic sales" as the reported net sales adjusted for: (1) net sales from acquired businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition; (2) net sales attributable to disposed businesses in both the current and prior year periods; and (3) the impact of foreign currency changes, which is calculated by translating current period net sales using the comparable prior period's foreign currency exchange rates. Adjusted Operating Income and Margin Adjusted operating income is computed by excluding the following items from operating income (loss) as reported in accordance with US GAAP: (1) Business combination-related costs and fair value adjustments. These adjustments include costs related to consummating and integrating acquired businesses, as well as net gains and losses related to disposed businesses. In addition, this category includes the post-acquisition roll-off of fair value adjustments recorded related to business combinations, except for amortization expense of purchased intangible assets noted below. Although the Company is regularly engaged in activities to find and act on opportunities for strategic growth and enhancement of product offerings, the costs associated with these activities may vary significantly between periods based on the timing, size and complexity of acquisitions and as such may not be indicative of past and future performance of the Company. (2) Restructuring-related charges and other costs. These adjustments include costs related to the implementation of restructuring initiatives, including but not limited to, severance costs, facility closure costs, and lease and contract termination costs, as well as related professional service costs associated with these restructuring initiatives and global transformation activity. The Company is continually seeking to take actions that could enhance its efficiency; consequently, restructuring charges may recur but are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period due to the varying levels of restructuring activity, and as such may not be indicative of past and future performance of the Company. Other costs include gains and losses on the sale of property, legal settlements, executive separation costs, write-offs of inventory as a result of product rationalization, and changes in accounting principles recorded within the period. This category also includes costs related to investigations and associated legal cases and remediation activities, which primarily include legal, accounting and other professional service fees, as well as turnover and other employee-related costs. (3) Goodwill and intangible asset impairments. These adjustments include charges related to goodwill and intangible asset impairments. (4) Amortization of purchased intangible assets. This adjustment excludes the periodic amortization expense related to purchased intangible assets, which are recorded at fair value. Although these costs contribute to revenue generation and will recur in future periods, their amounts are significantly impacted by the timing and size of acquisitions, and as such may not be indicative of the future performance of the Company. (5) Fair value and credit risk adjustments. These adjustments include the non-cash mark-to-market changes in fair value associated with pension assets and obligations, the credit risk component of hedging instruments, and equity-method investments. Although these adjustments are recurring in nature, they are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period due to changes in the underlying assumptions and market conditions. The non-service component of pension expense is a recurring item, however it is subject to significant fluctuations from period to period due to changes in actuarial assumptions, interest rates, plan changes, settlements, curtailments, and other changes in facts and circumstances. As such, these items may not be indicative of past and future performance of the Company. Adjusted operating margin is calculated by dividing adjusted operating income by net sales. Adjusted Gross Profit and Margin Adjusted gross profit is computed by excluding from gross profit the impact of any of the above adjustments that affect either sales or cost of sales. Adjusted gross margin is calculated by dividing adjusted gross profit by net sales. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Adjusted net income (loss) consists of net income (loss) as reported in accordance with US GAAP, adjusted to exclude the items identified above, as well as the related income tax impacts of those items. The income tax effect of each pre-tax adjustment was determined based on the tax rate of the jurisdiction in which the related pre-tax adjustment was recorded. Additionally, net income is adjusted for other tax-related adjustments such as discrete or significant adjustments to valuation allowances and other uncertain tax positions, final settlement of income tax audits, discrete tax items resulting from the implementation of restructuring initiatives, the windfall or shortfall relating to exercise of employee stock-based compensation, any difference between the interim and annual effective tax rate, and adjustments relating to prior periods. Management believes that these adjustments for certain tax-related matters are helpful to normalize the tax effects of certain discrete or significant items that are irregular or infrequent in timing and may not be indicative of past or future performance of the Company. Adjusted EBITDA and Margin In addition to the adjustments described above in arriving at adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA is computed by further excluding any remaining interest expense, net, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA by net sales. Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Diluted Share Adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share (adjusted EPS) is computed by dividing adjusted earnings (loss) attributable to Dentsply Sirona stockholders by the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Conversion The Company defines adjusted free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures during the same period, and adjusted free cash flow conversion is defined as adjusted free cash flow divided by adjusted net income (loss). Management believes this Non-GAAP measure is important for use in evaluating the Company’s financial performance as it measures our ability to efficiently generate cash from our business operations relative to earnings. It should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, net income (loss) as a measure of our performance or net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.
