TEL AVIV, Israel and RALEIGH, NC,
February 17, 2022, RedHill Biopharma Ltd. (Nasdaq: RDHL) (“RedHill” or the “Company”), a specialty biopharmaceutical company, today provided a
business update for the fourth quarter of 2021, including certain estimated unaudited preliminary financial data.
Dror Ben-Asher, RedHill’s Chief
Executive Officer, said: “Strong sales growth momentum in the face of the persistent pandemic environment, coupled with strengthening our salesforce through internal realignment to include 120 customer-facing sales professionals, disciplined
cost-control measures and the potential addition of products synergistic to our existing commercial basket, are planned to bring us closer to commercial operations profitability in 2022. In parallel, our compact R&D team continues to display
tremendous creativity and drive in progressing RedHill’s robust late clinical-stage pipeline. In particular, extensive discussions are ongoing with regulators in multiple countries regarding potential pathways to approval of orally-administered
opaganib, likely the first novel oral drug candidate to have shown an improvement in viral clearance in severe hospitalized COVID-19 patients.”
The Company intends to announce its audited fourth quarter and full year 2021 results in the coming weeks. The preliminary financial
data ranges described herein have not been audited and are subject to adjustment based on the Company’s completion of year-end financial close processes.
