General
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Delcath Systems, Inc. (“Delcath” or the “Company”) as of September 30, 2022 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Annual Report”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 30, 2022 and may also be found on the Company’s website (www.delcath.com). In these notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements the terms “us”, “we” or “our” refer to Delcath and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Description of Business
The Company is an interventional oncology company focused on the treatment of primary and metastatic liver cancers. The Company’s lead product candidate, the HEPZATO
®
KIT (melphalan hydrochloride for injection/Hepatic Delivery System), or HEPZATO, is a drug/device combination product designed to administer high-dose chemotherapy to the liver while controlling systemic exposure and associated side effects. HEPZATO has not been approved for sale in the United States. In Europe, the Hepatic Delivery System is a stand-alone medical device having the same device components as HEPZATO, but without the melphalan hydrochloride, and is approved for sale under the trade name CHEMOSAT
®
Hepatic Delivery System for Melphalan, or CHEMOSAT, where it has been used at major medical centers to treat a wide range of cancers of the liver.
The Company’s clinical development program for HEPZATO is comprised of the FOCUS Clinical Trial for Patients with Hepatic Dominant Ocular Melanoma (the “FOCUS Trial”), a global registration clinical trial that is investigating objective response rate in metastatic ocular melanoma, or mOM. The Company is currently reviewing the incidence, unmet need, available efficacy data and development requirements for a broad set of liver cancers in order to select a portfolio of
follow-on
indications which will maximize the value of the HEPZATO platform.
In the United States, HEPZATO is considered a combination drug and device product regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). Primary jurisdiction for regulation of HEPZATO has been assigned to the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. The FDA has granted the Company six orphan drug designations (five for melphalan in ocular melanoma, cutaneous melanoma, cholangiocarcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and neuroendocrine tumor indications and one for doxorubicin in the hepatocellular carcinoma indication).
In December 2021, the Company announced that the FOCUS Trial of HEPZATO met its
pre-specified
endpoint. Based on the FOCUS Trial results, the Company is preparing to submit a new drug application, or NDA, to the FDA for HEPZATO. The Company held a
pre-NDA
meeting with the FDA in April 2022. Based on the feedback from the FDA, the Company does not believe any additional
pre-clinical
or clinical studies are required to
re-file
the NDA. Due to vendor delays in delivering certain reports, the Company plans to submit an NDA to the FDA by the end of the year. The Company has opened two Expanded Access Program sites to provide access to patients who meet the inclusion criteria during the pendency of FDA’s review of HEPZATO.
On February 28, 2022, CHEMOSAT received Medical Device Regulation certification under the European Medical Devices Regulation [2017/745/EU], which may be considered by jurisdictions when evaluating reimbursement. As of March 1, 2022, the Company has assumed direct responsibility for sales, marketing and distribution of CHEMOSAT in Europe.
Risks and Uncertainties
Although the Company is not aware of any direct impacts of the war between the Ukraine and the Russian Federation on its supply chain, the war could adversely impact the Company’s ability to obtain components and/or significantly increase the cost of obtaining such components for the Company’s products from its third-party suppliers in a timely manner or at all. In addition, at this time, although the Company is not aware of any direct impacts, the increase in COVID cases and associated restrictions, could adversely impact the Company’s ability to obtain components and/or significantly increase the cost of obtaining such components for the Company’s products from its third-party suppliers in a timely manner or at all. The rise in COVID cases and the associated absences from work of internal and external resources may also impact the Company’s ability to meet anticipated timelines.
 
Liquidity and Going Concern
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred significant losses and has an accumulated deficit of $447.3 million as of September 30, 2022. These losses, among other factors, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
On July 20, 2022, the Company closed a private placement for the issuance and sale of 690,954 shares of common stock (the “Common Stock”) and 566,751
pre-funded
warrants to purchase common stock (the
“Pre-Funded
Warrants”) to certain investors. Each share of common stock was sold at a price per share of $3.98 and the
Pre-Funded
Warrants were sold at a price of $3.97 per
Pre-Funded
Warrant. The
Pre-Funded
Warrants have an exercise price of $0.01 per share of Common Stock and are immediately exercisable. The Company received gross proceeds from the private placement of approximately $5.0 million before deducting offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the private placement for working capital purposes and other general corporate purposes.
On October 26, 2022, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq indicating that, for the last thirty consecutive business days, the Market Value of Listed Securities, as defined by Nasdaq (“MVLS”) had been below the $35 million minimum requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company has been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until April 24, 2023, to regain compliance. The letter states that the Nasdaq staff will provide written notification that the Company has achieved compliance with Rule 5550(b)(2) if at any time before April 24, 2023, the Company maintains its MVLS at $35 million or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days (or such longer period of time as the Nasdaq staff may require in some circumstances, but generally not more than 20 consecutive business days). The Nasdaq deficiency letter has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock. If compliance is not achieved by April 24, 2023, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day compliance period to demonstrate compliance with the minimum MVLS requirement. To qualify for the additional
180-day
period, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirements for minimum closing bid price of its common stock and all other initial listing standards (with the exception of the minimum MVLS requirement). If the Company does not qualify for the second compliance period or fails to regain compliance during the second
180-day
period, then Nasdaq will notify the Company that its common stock is subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. The Company will continue to monitor its MVLS and consider its available options to regain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum MVLS requirements, which may include applying for an extension of the compliance period or appealing to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
The Company’s existence is dependent upon management’s ability to obtain additional funding sources or to enter into strategic alliances. Adequate additional financing may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital and/or enter into strategic alliances when needed or on attractive terms, it would be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate its research and development programs or any commercialization efforts. There can be no assurance that the Company’s efforts will result in the resolution of the Company’s liquidity needs. If the Company is not able to continue as a going concern, it is likely that holders of its common stock will lose all of their investment. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company anticipates incurring additional losses until such time, if ever, that it can generate significant sales. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Additional working capital will be required to continue operations. Operations of the Company are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including, among others, uncertainty of product development and clinical trial results; uncertainty regarding regulatory approval; technological uncertainty; uncertainty regarding patents and proprietary rights; comprehensive government regulations; limited commercial manufacturing, marketing, or sales experience; and dependence on key personnel.
Basis of Presentation
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and were prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) and with the SEC’s instructions to Form
10-Q
and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X.
They include the accounts of all wholly owned subsidiaries and all significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make assumptions and estimates that impact the amounts reported. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the interim periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021; however, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form
10-K
have been condensed or omitted as permitted by GAAP. It is important to note that the Company’s results of operations and cash flows for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations and cash flows to be expected for a full fiscal year or any interim period.
 
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies as set forth in Note 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period balances have been reclassified in order to conform to current period presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported results of operations or loss per share.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
2020-06, “Accounting
for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.” ASU
2020-06
simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. ASU
2020-06
requires entities to provide expanded disclosures about the terms and features of convertible instruments and amends certain guidance in Accounting Standards Codification 260, Earnings per Share, relating to the computation of earnings per share for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. The guidance becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted ASU
2020-06
on January 1, 2022 and the adoption did not have any immediate effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Going forward, the Company will no longer be required to assess convertible instruments for beneficial conversion features.
In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU
2020-10
“Codification Improvements”, which improves consistency by amending the Codification to include all disclosure guidance in the appropriate disclosure sections and clarifies application of various provisions in the Codification by amending and adding new headings, cross referencing to other guidance, and refining or correcting terminology. The guidance was effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2022 and it did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
On May 3, 2021, the FASB issued ASU
2021-04,
“Earnings Per Share” (Topic 260), “Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments” (Subtopic
470-50),
“Compensation—Stock Compensation” (Topic 718), and “Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” (Subtopic
815-40):
“Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options.” This new standard provides clarification and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (such as warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Issuers should apply the new standard prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring after the effective date of the new standard. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an issuer elects to early adopt the new standard in an interim period, the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2022 and it did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
