Akili Reports Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results and Company Update

EndeavorRx®, the world’s first FDA-authorized video game treatment, saw quarter over quarter growth in number of prescribers and volume of prescriptions; Initiated commercial launch in Q3

Raised more than $164 million in gross proceeds with business combination; Akili, Inc. now trading as Nasdaq: AKLI

Akili, Inc. (Nasdaq: AKLI), a leading digital medicine company, today reported its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, and provided an update on business progress.

“We achieved two important milestones this quarter on our path to bring digital treatments to mainstream medicine - we began trading on Nasdaq and raised funds to support our first product launch and advance our pipeline, and we transitioned from pre-launch to launch of EndeavorRx,” said Eddie Martucci, chief executive officer of Akili. “With a solid foundation and experienced team in place, Akili is well-positioned to advance our vision of EndeavorRx becoming part of routine medical care for children with ADHD.” (See below for EndeavorRx full indication and safety information.)

“Prescriptions for EndeavorRx have been written across all 50 states, and market uptake continues to grow,” said Matt Franklin, president and chief operating officer of Akili. “We have now executed the first phase of our commercial launch of EndeavorRx, hiring, training and deploying our initial sales force into priority territories to help us accelerate adoption.”

Recent Business Updates

  • Akili deployed the first wave of its EndeavorRx go-to-market sales force in the third quarter of 2022 in 14 priority territories across the U.S. with a focus on Integrated Behavioral Health Centers and pediatric providers. Akili plans to scale to additional territories over the next 18 months.
  • More than 1,300 prescriptions for EndeavorRx were written in the third quarter, representing a 71% increase over the second quarter of 2022 and a 146% increase over the third quarter of 2021. In the third quarter of 2022, 789 physicians prescribed EndeavorRx, including more than 500 new prescribers, representing a 91% gain in new prescribers over the second quarter of 2022 and a 110% increase over the third quarter of 2021. From FDA authorization through the third quarter of 2022, over 2,000 physicians prescribed EndeavorRx to patients, with prescriptions now written in every state in the U.S.
  • Akili launched the EndeavorRx Expedition product registry to obtain feedback from patients receiving the digital therapeutic, and their caregivers. This fully remote, direct-to-patient registry is open to any patient who has been prescribed EndeavorRx and is designed to provide insights into patient characteristics, usage patterns, and collection of real-world evidence. The company plans to use the data to expand the real-world evidence base for physicians, payers, and caregivers.
  • A phase 3 randomized, controlled study of Akili’s SDT-001 product candidate (the same core technology behind EndeavorRx, localized for Japanese language and culture for distribution in Japan) designed to improve measures of attention in children with ADHD was initiated in Japan. The study is being conducted by Akili’s partner, the global pharmaceutical company Shionogi & Co., Ltd.
  • In August, Akili completed its business combination with Social Capital Suvretta Holdings Corp. I and began trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the new ticker symbol “AKLI.” Akili raised more than $164 million from the transaction, before deducting transaction expenses and advisory fees, and established its new public company board of directors.

Third Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights

  • Cash position: As of September 30, 2022, Akili had $156.4 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, compared to $45.6 million at June 30, 2022. The cash position is expected to be sufficient to fund current and planned operations until mid-2024.
  • Revenues: EndeavorRx revenues for the third quarter 2022 were $82 thousand compared to $64 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.
  • Total Operating Expenses: GAAP total operating expenses were $24.5 million for the third quarter, compared to $22.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The increase was driven by transaction related costs allocated to earnout shares and stock-based compensation related expenses, partially offset by the timing of discretionary marketing expenditures associated with the commercialization of EndeavorRx. Non-GAAP total operating expenses were $18.3 million for the third quarter, compared to $20.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to lower clinical trials related expenses and timing of discretionary marketing expenditures associated with the commercialization of EndeavorRx.
  • R&D Expenses: GAAP research and development expenses were $7.6 million for the third quarter, compared to $7.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to stock-based compensation related expenses. Non-GAAP research and development expenses were $6.2 million for the third quarter, compared to $6.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to lower clinical trials related expenses.
  • SG&A Expenses: GAAP selling, general, and administrative expenses were $16.9 million for the third quarter, compared to $14.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The increase was driven by transaction related costs allocated to earnout shares and stock-based compensation related expenses, partially offset by the timing of discretionary marketing expenditures associated with the commercialization of EndeavorRx. Non-GAAP selling, general, and administrative expenses were $12.0 million for the third quarter, compared to $13.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was driven primarily by the timing of discretionary marketing expenditures associated with the commercialization of EndeavorRx.
  • Net income (loss): GAAP net income was $53.2 million in the third quarter compared to a net loss of $22.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The change in profitability was primarily due to the reduction of liabilities relating to the company’s earnout shares. Non-GAAP net loss was $18.5 million in the third quarter compared to a net loss of $20.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial information prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), this press release includes the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP total operating expenses on a historical basis, non-GAAP R&D expenses on a historical basis, non-GAAP SG&A expenses on a historical basis, and non-GAAP net loss on a historical basis. Akili derives these non-GAAP financial measures by excluding certain expenses and other items from the respective GAAP financial measure that is most directly comparable to each non-GAAP financial measure. Specifically, the non-GAAP total operating expenses, non-GAAP R&D expenses, and non-GAAP SG&A expenses exclude stock-based compensation expense and transaction costs allocated to earnout shares, and non-GAAP net loss excludes stock-based compensation expense, transaction costs allocated to earnout shares, and the change in estimated fair value of earn-out liabilities. Akili’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to both management and investors in analyzing its ongoing business and operating performance. Management does not intend the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but as a complement to provide greater transparency. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similarly named measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures is included in the attached financial tables.

EndeavorRx Indication and Overview

EndeavorRx is the first-and-only FDA-authorized treatment delivered through a video game experience. EndeavorRx is indicated to improve attention function as measured by computer-based testing in children ages 8 to 12 years old with primarily inattentive or combined-type ADHD, who have a demonstrated attention issue. Patients who engage with EndeavorRx demonstrate improvements in a digitally assessed measure Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA®) of sustained and selective attention and may not display benefits in typical behavioral symptoms, such as hyperactivity. EndeavorRx should be considered for use as part of a therapeutic program that may include clinician-directed therapy, medication, and/or educational programs, which further address symptoms of the disorder. EndeavorRx is available by prescription only. It is not intended to be used as a stand-alone therapeutic and is not a substitution for a child’s medication. The most common side effect observed in children in EndeavorRx’s clinical trials was a feeling of frustration, as the game can be quite challenging at times. No serious adverse events were associated with its use. EndeavorRx is recommended to be used for approximately 25 minutes a day, 5 days a week, over initially at least 4 consecutive weeks, or as recommended by your child’s health care provider.
