Financial Results:

Total revenues for the three month period ended September 30, 2015 amounted to $2.38 million, representing an increase of $1.9 million or 427% compared to $0.45 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2014. Total revenues for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 amounted to $3.59 million representing an increase of $2.75 million or 331% compared to $0.83 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014. The increases for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 compared to the last year's corresponding periods are mainly attributable to the one-time milestone payment of $3 million from IntelGenx' licensing partner Edgemont triggered by Edgemont reaching in July 2015, $7 million of cumulative net trade sales of Forfivo XL(R) over the preceding 12 months. From that $3 million milestone payment, $1 million was received in the current quarter and the $2 million balance will be received in Q1 2016. Nevertheless, 2/6 of the $2 million was recognized as revenue in the quarter ended September 30, 2015.

Operating costs and expenses were $1.03 million for the third quarter of 2015 compared to $0.9 million in the comparable period of 2014. Operating costs and expenses were $2.49 million for the first nine months of 2015, versus $2.35 million for the corresponding period of 2014.

IntelGenx recorded operating income of $1.35 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2015 compared to an operating loss of $0.44 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2014. For the first nine months of 2015, the Company generated operating income of $1.10 million compared to an operating loss of $1.51 million for the comparable period of 2014.

The Company generated net income of $1.35 million or $0.02 on a basic and diluted per share basis for the three month period ended September 30, 2015 compared to a net loss of $0.43 million or ($0.01) on a basic and diluted per share basis for the three month period ended September 30, 2014. Net income was $1.02 million or $0.01 on a basic and diluted per share basis for the first nine months of 2015 compared to a net loss of $1.49 million or ($0.03) on a basic and diluted per share basis for the first nine months of 2014.

"We continue to focus on managing our costs in an effort of keeping our strong financial discipline and we are highly confident that we will achieve EBITDA positive for the entire year," said Mr. Andre Godin, Executive Vice-President and CFO of IntelGenx.

Cash on hand as at September 30, 2015 was $2.26 million, representing a decrease of $2.13 million compared with the balance of $4.39 million as at December 31, 2014. The decrease in cash relates primarily to the investments made into our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities.
