Lindsay A. Rosenwald, M.D., Fortress’ Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are delighted with our continued progress, and achievement of significant milestones throughout 2020 and in recent months. Notably, our partner company, Cyprium Therapeutics ("Cyprium"), and Sentynl Therapeutics, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Zydus Group, signed a Development and Asset Purchase Agreement for CUTX-101 for the treatment of Menkes disease, in February 2021. Also, our full-year 28% revenue growth during the pandemic shows the resilience of the Fortress business model. Since the company’s management took over in 2014, Fortress and our partner companies have built a growing portfolio of six marketed dermatologic pharmaceutical products and more than 25 product candidates in our pipeline across multiple therapeutic categories, including oncology, gene therapy, dermatology, and rare diseases. We are on track to submit our second New Drug Application ("NDA") to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") later this year."

Dr. Rosenwald continued, "As we look ahead to 2021, Fortress expects to deliver further top-line growth through a diversified, long-term revenue stream, and we and our partner companies anticipate multiple key value-creating milestones throughout the year. We have four product candidates in five ongoing pivotal clinical trials, with multiple other earlier-stage clinical trials progressing as well. Additionally, we intend to continue to in-license promising drugs and drug candidates, and to seek partners for late-stage programs to maximize each opportunity to its full potential. We continue to demonstrate the ability of our business model to generate meaningful value creation opportunities with the potential to produce life-changing therapies for people in need."

2020 and Recent Corporate Highlights1:

Marketed Dermatology Products

·Our six dermatology products are marketed by our partner company, Journey Medical Corporation ("Journey").

1 Includes product candidates in development at Fortress, majority-owned and controlled partners and partners in which Fortress holds significant minority ownership positions. As used herein, the words "we", "us" and "our" may refer to Fortress individually or together with our affiliates and partners, as dictated by context.

·Our products generated net revenues of $44.5 million for full-year 2020, compared to full-year 2019 net revenues of $34.9 million, representing growth of 28%. Our products generated $13.7 million in revenues in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $11.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, representing growth of 23%. While we generated revenue growth year-over-year in 2020, sales of our products were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused a temporary supply shortage and impacted the ability of our sales force to make in person calls, due to states slowly re-opening.
· We in-licensed and recently launched our sixth prescription dermatology product.
·We intend to launch up to two additional new prescription products this year and expect to generate further sales growth in 2021.
·We currently have 42 sales representatives dedicated to the dermatology product portfolio and we expect that number to continue to grow this year.

CUTX-101 (Copper Histidinate for Menkes disease)

·In January 2020, the FDA granted Rare Pediatric Disease Designation to CUTX-101 for the treatment of Menkes disease.
·In June 2020, we announced the publication of a study, "Estimated birth prevalence of Menkes disease and ATP7A-related disorders based on the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD)," in Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports. Assuming Hardy-Weinberg genetic equilibrium, the allelic frequency of loss-of-function variants suggests a minimum birth prevalence for Menkes disease of 1 in 34,810 males, higher than previously recognized. If likely pathogenic missense variants are included, the estimated birth prevalence could potentially be as high as 1 in 8,664 live male births. The study can be accessed here.
·In July 2020, we announced the publication of a study, "Targeted Next Generation Sequencing for Newborn Screening of Menkes Disease" in Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports. The study assessed the analytic validity of an ATP7A targeted next generation DNA sequencing assay as a potential newborn screen for Menkes disease. The study can be accessed here.
·In July 2020, we announced that the European Medicines Agency ("EMA") Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products issued a positive opinion on our application for Orphan Drug Designation for CUTX-101 for the treatment of Menkes disease. In August 2020, the European Commission granted Orphan Drug Designation to CUTX-101. EMA Orphan Drug Designation provides companies with certain benefits and incentives, including clinical protocol assistance, differentiated evaluation procedures for Health Technology Assessments in certain countries, access to a centralized marketing authorization procedure valid in all EU member states, reduced regulatory fees and 10 years of market exclusivity.
·In August 2020, we reported positive top-line clinical efficacy results for CUTX-101. The study demonstrated statistically significant improvement in overall survival for Menkes disease subjects who received early treatment (ET) with CUTX-101, compared to an untreated historical control (HC) cohort, with a nearly 80% reduction in the risk of death (Hazard Ratio = 0.21, p<0.0001). Median survival for the ET cohort was 14.8 years (177.1 months), compared to 1.3 years (15.9 months) for the untreated HC cohort.
·In September 2020, we raised net proceeds of approximately $7.1 million in a private offering of Cyprium’s 9.375% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock.
·In December 2020, the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation to CUTX-101 for the treatment of Menkes disease.
·In February 2021, our partner company, Cyprium, and Sentynl Therapeutics, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Zydus Group, signed a Development and Asset Purchase Agreement for CUTX-101 for the treatment of Menkes disease. Under the terms of the agreement, Cyprium received $8 million upfront to fund the development of CUTX-101 and could receive up to $12 million in regulatory milestone payments through NDA approval, and is eligible to receive sales milestones plus royalties. Royalties start from mid-single digits, scaling up to 25% on sales exceeding $100 million annually. Cyprium will retain 100% ownership over any FDA priority review voucher that may be issued at NDA approval for CUTX-101.
·We intend to begin the rolling submission of the NDA for CUTX-101 to the FDA in the second half of 2021.
·CUTX-101 is currently in development at our partner company, Cyprium Therapeutics, Inc.

CAEL-101 (Light Chain Fibril-reactive Monoclonal Antibody for AL Amyloidosis)

·In 2020, Caelum Biosciences, Inc.’s ("Caelum") Phase 2 dose selection clinical trial of CAEL-101, a light chain fibril-reactive monoclonal antibody for the treatment of AL amyloidosis, met its primary objective, supporting the initiation of two parallel Phase 3 studies that will enroll approximately 370 AL amyloidosis patients.
·In September 2020, Caelum announced the initiation of two Phase 3 studies of CAEL-101 for AL amyloidosis.
·Also in September 2020, positive long-term Phase 1a/1b data were presented at the International Symposium on Amyloidosis (ISA) 2020. The data demonstrated prolonged overall survival (78% at 37 months) and durable organ response.
·In December 2020, CAEL-101 Phase 2 data were selected for oral and poster presentations at the 62nd American Society of Hematology (ASH) (Free ASH Whitepaper) Annual Meeting, which was held virtually in December 2020. Links to the abstracts can be found here: oral presentation and poster presentation.
·Caelum formed a collaboration with Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in 2019, which includes an option to acquire Caelum. AstraZeneca announced the execution of a definitive agreement to purchase Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; in event of the closing of such transaction, the timeline for a potential exercise of the option to purchase Caelum will be accelerated to six months following the date of acquisition closing.
·CAEL-101 is currently in development at Caelum Biosciences, Inc., a company founded by Fortress in 2017 and in which Fortress maintains a minority position.

Cosibelimab (formerly CK-301, an anti-PD-L1 antibody)

·In January 2020, we announced confirmation of the registration path for cosibelimab in metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma ("mCSCC"). FDA feedback supports the plan to submit a Biologics License Application ("BLA") based on data from the ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial.
·In April 2020, we announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued a composition of matter patent for cosibelimab. U.S. Patent No. 10,590,199 specifically covers the antibody, cosibelimab, or a fragment thereof, providing protection through at least May 2038, exclusive of any additional patent-term extensions that might become available.
·In September 2020, at the European Society for Medical Oncology Virtual Congress 2020, we announced updated interim results from the ongoing global, open-label, multicohort, Phase 1 clinical trial of cosibelimab in patients with advanced cancers, including the registration-enabling cohort of patients with mCSCC. Cosibelimab demonstrated a 51.4% objective response rate ("ORR") and 13.5% complete response rate, which is nearly double the complete response rate observed at the time of previous analysis.
·The registration-enabling study in mCSCC is approximately 90% enrolled and we are on track to report full top-line results in the second half of 2021. With a potentially favorable safety profile and a plan to commercialize at a substantially lower price, we believe cosibelimab has the potential to be a market disruptive product in the $25 billion and growing PD-(L)1 class.
·In November 2020, we announced the expansion of a long-term manufacturing partnership for cosibelimab with Samsung Biologics. Building upon an existing contract manufacturing agreement entered into in 2017, Samsung Biologics will provide additional commercial-scale drug substance manufacturing for cosibelimab.
·Also in November 2020, we announced updated interim results from the ongoing global, open-label, multicohort Phase 1 clinical trial of cosibelimab in patients with advanced cancers, including a cohort of patients with previously untreated high PD-L1 expressing advanced non-small cell lung cancer ("NSCLC"). The updated interim results were presented in a poster presentation at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) (Free SITC Whitepaper) 35th Anniversary Annual Meeting. Cosibelimab demonstrated a 44.0% objective response rate and 10.3-month median progression-free survival in the NSCLC cohort. A Phase 3 registration-enabling trial is planned to begin in first-line metastatic NSCLC in mid-2021.
·Cosibelimab is currently in development at our partner company, Checkpoint Therapeutics, Inc. ("Checkpoint").

CK-101 (Third-generation Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor ("EGFR") Inhibitor)

·In November 2020, Checkpoint’s collaboration partner in Asia for CK-101, Neupharma Inc., initiated a Phase 3, registration-enabling study of CK-101 in first-line, EGFR mutation-positive locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC. We plan to meet with the FDA to discuss the ongoing Phase 3 study design and its potential use, upon a successful study, to support a new drug application submission in the United States.
·CK-101 is currently in development at our partner company, Checkpoint.

MB-107 and MB-207 (Lentiviral Gene Therapies for XSCIDIn April 2020, we announced that the EMA granted Advanced Therapy Medicinal Product classification to MB-107, a lentiviral gene therapy for the treatment of newly diagnosed infants with X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency ("XSCID"), also known as bubble boy disease.
·In the second quarter of 2020, we submitted an IND application with the FDA to initiate a multi-center pivotal Phase 2 trial of MB-107 in newly diagnosed infants with XSCID who are under the age of two. The trial is expected to enroll 10 patients who, together with patients enrolled in the current multicenter trial led by St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, will be compared with 25 matched historical control patients who have undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplant ("HSCT"). The primary efficacy endpoint will be event-free survival. On January 28, 2021, the FDA removed a CMC hold on the MB-107 Phase 2 clinical trial IND application after reviewing a comprehensive CMC package that was submitted in December 2020. We expect to enroll the first patient in this pivotal multicenter trial in the second quarter of 2021 and are targeting top-line data from the trial in the second half of 2022.
·We further expect to file an IND in the second quarter of 2021 for a pivotal multi-center Phase 2 clinical trial of MB-207, our lentiviral gene therapy in previously transplanted XSCID patients who received prior treatment with HSCT and for whom re-treatment is indicated. We anticipate enrolling 20 patients and we are targeting topline data for this trial in the first half of 2023.
·In August 2020, we announced that the FDA granted Rare Pediatric Disease Designations to MB-107 for the treatment of XSCID in newly diagnosed infants and to MB-207 for the treatment of XSCID in patients who were previously treated with HSCT and for whom re-treatment is indicated.
·In September 2020, we announced that the FDA granted Orphan Drug Designations to MB-107 for the treatment of XSCID in newly diagnosed infants and to MB-207 for the treatment of XSCID in patients who were previously treated with HSCT and for whom re-treatment is indicated.
·In October 2020, we in-licensed LentiBOOST technology from SIRION Biotech GmbH for the development of MB-207.
·In November 2020, we signed an agreement with Minaris Regenerative Medicine GmbH to enable technology transfer and GMP clinical manufacturing of the MB-107 lentiviral gene therapy program for the treatment of XSCID in Europe.
·Also in November 2020, we announced that the European Commission issued a positive opinion on our application for Orphan Drug Designation for the MB-107 lentiviral gene therapy for the treatment of XSCID.
·MB-107 and MB-207 are currently in development at our partner company, Mustang Bio, Inc. ("Mustang Bio").

MB-106 (CD20-targeted CAR T Cell Therapy)

·In February 2020, we announced that the first subject treated with the modified MB-106 (CD20-targeted, autologous CAR T cell therapy) manufacturing process, developed in a collaboration between Mustang Bio and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center ("Fred Hutch"), achieved a complete response at the lowest starting dose in an ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trial. The trial is evaluating the safety and efficacy of MB-106 in subjects with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas ("NHL") and chronic lymphocytic leukemia ("CLL").
·In December 2020, we announced positive interim Phase 1/2 data on MB-106 for patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas, which were presented at the 62nd American Society of Hematology (ASH) (Free ASH Whitepaper) Annual Meeting. Data presented showed a favorable safety profile and clinical activity with an 89% ORR and 44% complete response rate over 4 dose levels in 9 patients treated with the modified cell manufacturing process.
·In the second quarter of 2021, we expect to announce follow up data from the Fred Hutch trial in NHL and initial data in CLL.
·MB-106 is currently in development at our partner company, Mustang Bio.

MB-102 (CD123-targeted CAR T Cell Therapy)

·In October 2020, we announced that the first patient was dosed in a Mustang Bio-sponsored, open-label, multicenter Phase 1/2 clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of MB-102 (CD123-targeted CAR T cell therapy) in patients with relapsed or refractory blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm.
·MB-102 is currently in development at our partner company, Mustang Bio.

MB-101 (IL13Rα2-targeted CAR T Cell Therapy)

·In December 2020, we announced that a Phase 1 single-center, two-arm clinical trial was initiated to establish the safety and feasibility of administering MB-101 to patients with leptomeningeal brain tumors (e.g., glioblastoma, ependymoma or medulloblastoma).
·MB-101 is currently in development at our partner company, Mustang Bio.

MB-105 (PSCA-targeted CAR T Cell Therapy)

·In October 2020, we announced that initial Phase 1 data on MB-105, a PSCA-targeted CAR T administered systemically to patients with PSCA-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), were presented by City of Hope at the virtual 27th Annual Prostate Cancer Foundation Scientific Retreat. A 73-year-old male patient with PSCA-positive mCRPC was treated with MB-105 and lymphodepletion (a standard CAR T pre-conditioning regimen) after failing eight prior therapies. On day 28 of the patient’s treatment, MB-105 demonstrated a 94% reduction in prostate-specific antigen, near complete reduction of measurable soft tissue metastasis by computerized tomography, and improvement in bone metastases by magnetic resonance imaging.
·MB-105 is currently in development at our partner company, Mustang Bio.

MB-104 (CS1-targeted CAR T Cell Therapy In May 2020, City of Hope presented two posters pertaining to MB-104, an innovative CS1 CAR T cell therapy, at the virtual 23rd Annual Meeting of the American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy.
·MB-104 is currently in development at our partner company, Mustang Bio.

IV Tramadol

·In October 2020, Avenue Therapeutics ("Avenue") announced that it had received a Complete Response Letter ("CRL") from the FDA regarding Avenue’s NDA for IV tramadol. The FDA held a Type A meeting with Avenue in November 2020 to discuss the issues outlined in the CRL. On February 12, 2021, Avenue resubmitted its NDA to the FDA for IV tramadol. The NDA resubmission followed the receipt of the official minutes from Avenue’s Type A meeting with the FDA. The NDA resubmission included revised language relating to the proposed product label and a report relating to terminal sterilization validation. On February 26, 2021, Avenue received an acknowledgement letter from the FDA that Avenue’s resubmission of its NDA is a complete, class 1 response to the CRL, and a PDUFA goal date was set for April 12, 2021.
·Also in October 2020, Invagen Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("InvaGen") communicated to Avenue that it believes a Material Adverse Event (as defined in the Stock Purchase and Merger Agreement entered into on November 12, 2018 between Avenue, InvaGen and Madison Pharmaceuticals Inc., a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of InvaGen) has occurred due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on potential commercialization and projected sales of IV tramadol. Additionally, in connection with the resubmission of Avenue’s NDA in February 2021, InvaGen communicated to Avenue that it believes the proposed label for IV tramadol would also constitute a Material Adverse Event on the purported basis that the proposed label under certain circumstances would make the product commercially unviable, and in addition that the indication that the FDA approves may fail to satisfy a condition precedent to InvaGen’s obligation to consummate the second stage closing of the Avenue SPMA. While Avenue disagrees with InvaGen’s assertions, it is possible InvaGen could attempt to avoid its obligation to consummate the merger, terminate the Stock Purchase and Merger Agreement, and/or pursue monetary claims against Avenue and/or Fortress.
·IV tramadol is currently in development at our partner company, Avenue.

ONCOlogues (proprietary platform technology using PNA oligonucleotides)

·In May 2020, we entered into an exclusive worldwide licensing agreement with Columbia University to develop novel oligonucleotides for the treatment of genetically driven cancers. The proprietary platform produces oligomers, known as "ONCOlogues," which are capable of binding gene sequences 1,000 times more effectively than complementary native DNA.
·In addition, we are exploring the potential of the platform to treat novel coronaviruses, such as COVID-19. We are also evaluating the platform to treat Huntington’s disease and myotonic dystrophy.
·The ONCOlogues platform is currently in development at our partner company, Oncogenuity, Inc.

General Corporate

·From February to August 2020, we closed on a gross total of approximately $39 million in underwritten public offerings of our 9.375% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (FBIOP).
·In June 2020, Fortress and Avenue were added to the Russell 3000 index.
·Also in August 2020, we announced a $60 million long-term debt refinancing agreement with Oaktree Capital Management, replacing $60 million of existing debt that was due over the subsequent seven quarters, with the debt now due in August 2025.
· November 2020, Fortress ranked in Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500 for the second year in a row. Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500 is an annual ranking of the fastest-growing North American companies in the technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and energy tech sectors. Fortress’ 874 percent revenue growth based on the increase in net product sales from 2016 to 2019 secured its spot in the rankings.

Financial Results:

To assist our stockholders in understanding our company, we have prepared non-GAAP financial results for the three months and twelve months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. These results exclude the operations of our three public partner companies: Avenue Therapeutics, Inc. ("Avenue"), Checkpoint Therapeutics, Inc. ("Checkpoint") and Mustang Bio, Inc. ("Mustang"), as well as any one-time, non-recurring, non-cash transactions, such as the gain of $18.4 million we recorded in the first quarter of 2019 resulting from the deconsolidation of Caelum Biosciences, Inc. ("Caelum"). The goal in providing these non-GAAP financial metrics is to highlight the financial results of Fortress’ core operations, which are comprised of our commercial-stage business, our privately held development-stage entities, as well as our business development and finance functions.

·As of December 31, 2020, Fortress’ consolidated cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments (certificates of deposit) and restricted cash totaled $235.0 million, compared to $220.0 million as of September 30, 2020, and $153.4 million as of December 31, 2019, an increase of $15.0 million for the fourth quarter and an increase of $81.6 million for the full year.
·On a GAAP basis, Fortress’ net revenue totaled $45.6 million for the full year ended December 31, 2020, which included $44.5 million in net revenue generated from our marketed dermatology products. This compares to net revenue totaling $36.6 million for the full year ended 2019, which included $34.9 million in net revenue generated from our marketed dermatology products. Fortress expects to achieve year-over-year revenue growth in 2021; however, it continues to monitor the spread of COVID-19 and assess the impact it may have on 2021 revenues.

·On a GAAP basis, consolidated research and development expenses including license acquisitions totaled $64.1 million for the full year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $81.3 million for the full year ended December 31, 2019. On a non-GAAP basis, research and development expenses including research and development license acquisitions totaled $10.0 million for the full year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $11.2 million for the full year ended December 31, 2019.
·On a GAAP basis, consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses were $61.2 million for the full year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $55.6 million for the full year ended December 31, 2019. On a non-GAAP basis, selling, general and administrative expenses were $45.5 million, of which $22.1 million is attributed to Journey, for the full year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $38.9 million, of which $19.7 million is attributed to Journey, for the full year ended December 31, 2019.
·On a GAAP basis, consolidated net loss attributable to common stockholders was $46.5 million, or $0.65 per share, for the full year ended December 31, 2020, compared to net loss attributable to common stockholders of $40.0 million, or $0.73 per share for the full year ended December 31, 2019.
·Fortress’ non-GAAP loss attributable to common stockholders was $13.3 million, or $0.18 per share, for the full year ended December 31, 2020, compared to Fortress’ non-GAAP loss attributable to common stockholders of $14.7 million, or $0.27 per share, for the full year ended December 31, 2019.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures:

In addition to the GAAP financial measures as presented in our Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 31, 2021, the Company, in this press release, has included certain non-GAAP measurements. The non-GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders is defined by the Company as GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders, less net losses attributable to common stockholders from our public partner companies Avenue, Checkpoint, and Mustang, as well as Caelum. In addition, the Company has also provided a Fortress non-GAAP loss attributable to common stockholders which is a modified EBITDA calculation that starts with the non-GAAP loss attributable to common stockholders and removes stock-based compensation expense, non-cash interest expense, amortization of licenses and debt discount, changes in fair values of investment, changes in fair value of derivative liability, and depreciation expense.

Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance because (i) it allows for greater transparency with respect to key measures used by management in its financial and operational decision-making; (ii) it excludes the impact of non-cash or, when specified, non-recurring items that are not directly attributable to the Company’s core operating performance and that may obscure trends in the Company’s core operating performance; and (iii) it is used by institutional investors and the analyst community to help analyze the Company’s results. However, non-GAAP loss attributable to common stockholders and any other non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Further, non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company and the manner in which they are calculated may differ from the non-GAAP financial measures or the calculations of the same non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, including the Company’s competitors.
