60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals Announces First Quarter 2024 Results
15 Mai 2024 - 7:45PM
60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: SXTP; SXTPW) (the
“Company”), a pharmaceutical company focused on developing new
medicines for infectious diseases, reported today their financial
results for the first fiscal quarter of the 2024 year, ended March
31, 2024.
Financial Highlights for the Quarter Ended March 31,
2024:
- Net product revenues increased approximately 515% from $17.17
thousand for the first quarter of 2023 to approximately $105.7
thousand for first quarter of 2024; the Company credits growth from
domestic commercial sales of ARAKODA®.
- The Company achieved a gross profit of approximately $51.0
thousand in the first quarter of 2024, compared to an approximate
gross loss of $55.9 thousand in the first quarter of 2023.
Increased sales volume allowed the Company to overcome fixed cost
of goods expense associated with the Drug Supply Chain Security Act
that previously led to a gross loss.
- Operating expenses were approximately $1.41 million in the
first quarter of 2024, compared to approximately $0.899 million in
the first quarter of 2023. The increase in operating expenses was
primarily due to research and development costs associated with
preparatory activities for our babesiosis clinical trial, increased
commercial promotional costs, and increased legal, audit and
financial expenses.
- Net income attributable to common shareholders in the first
quarter of 2024 was approximately $0.309 million, or $0.03 per
share, compared to a net loss of approximately $2.601 million, or
($1.13) per share in the first quarter of 2023, representing a
$2.910 million improvement. This improvement is attributed to a
change in the fair value of liabilities and decreased interest
expense.
Business Highlights for the Quarter Ended March 31,
2024
- Following a Type C meeting with the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) on January 17, 2024, the
Company initiated planning of a clinical study in support of a
future indication for tafenoquine for treatment of
babesiosis. Enrollment is planned to begin in the summer of
2024.
- In February 2024, the Company
appointed Kristen Landon as the Company’s Chief Commercial Officer
to lead commercialization activities related to ARAKODA.

expand our business operations; we may not be able to successfully
conduct planned clinical trials; and we have no manufacturing
capacity which puts us at risk of lengthy and costly delays of
bringing our products to market. More detailed information
