Forward guidance

Cara Therapeutics expects that current unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale marketable securities will be sufficient to fund the operating plan into at least the first half of 2024.

Tailwinds

  • Current cash reserves are expected to fund operations into the first half of 2024.
  • Positive momentum across first four EU launches.
  • Global rollout to accelerate with most EU countries launching in 2023.
  • NDD CKD and AD programs tracking to expectations with internal readout from KIND 1 Part A expected in 2H23.
  • Expects a regulatory decision from the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) in Japan in the second half of 2023.

Headwinds

  • Decrease in cash primarily resulted from $78.7 million of cash used in operating activities.
  • Net loss was $30.3 million.
  • R&D expenses increased due to increases in direct clinical trial costs and related consultants’ costs, and increases in payroll and related costs.
  • The lower G&A expenses in 2022 were principally due to a decrease in stock-based compensation expense as a result of expense relating to the modification of our former CEO’s equity awards during the three months ended December 31, 2021.
  • No specific negative items mentioned, default bullets.
